Advocates warn about Trans Mountain risks in New West Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

An ecologically sensitive river that separates New Westminster from Coquitlam is directly threatened by the planned expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline, local advocates say.

New Westminster Environmental Partners teamed up with the Wilderness Committee to take local politicians on a tour

along Brunette River, which runs through Burnaby and between New West and Coquitlam.

Vic Leach with New West Environmental Partners feels few residents in the area are aware that the Trans Mountain pipeline would run along the river.

The current pipeline does not run through the Brunette River area – the two would diverge in the area of Colony Farm in Coquitlam, which Peter McCartney,

climate campaigner with the Wilderness Committee, said is largely due to practicality.

That’s because the route of the existing pipeline cuts through dozens of private properties in Coquitlam and Burnaby, and laying another pipeline on the same route would present significantly more challenges.

“Unfortunately, some of the only spaces left in the city for a pipeline corridor are the most

ecologically sensitive,” McCartney said.

The proposed pipeline route approaches the Brunette River at around the Eaglequest Golf Course in Coquitlam and runs along the river near Hume Park and into the Brunette River Conservation Area.

Members of the New West Environmental Partners said the conservation area was a North American pioneer in revitalizing

Now, McCartney said, the conservation area is home to some sensitive species of fish and riparian areas that filter sediment and pesticides.

City Beat RECONCILIATION

City honours Chief Ahan with a ceremony Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A Tsilhqot’in chief who was wrongly tried for murder and hanged in New Westminster 154 years ago has been commemorated as a hero.

The City of New Westminster hosted members of the Tsilhqot’in Nation, who travelled to New West to honour Chief Ahan, who was hanged in downtown New Westminster on July 18, 1865.

“One hundred and fifty-four years ago, he was buried here outside the courthouse, without any of his people or his family. For all of us to come here, all of our members to honour him – his spirit is here,” Chief Joe Alphonse – Tl’etinqox (Anaham) – told a crowd gathered outside the old courthouse. “He is probably standing amongst us today. He is probably grateful that people have not forgotten.”

Ahan was one of six Tsilhqot’in warriors who were executed following the Chilcotin War, between the Tsilhqot’in people and European settlers, which occurred in the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast of B.C. Five of the chiefs were executed in Quesnel in October 1864, while Ahan was hanged in New Westminster the following year.

Three of the six current Tsilhqot’in Nation chiefs at-

They commemorated Ahan as a warrior who defended their people against colonizers, who abused their women and mistreated their people.

“He made the ultimate sacrifice for his territories, his lands, his people – life,” said Alphonse, who is also tribal chairman of the Tsilhqot’in National Government.

Following a ceremony that included prayers, a drum song and a warrior song, dozens of people crossed the street to today’s courthouse, where they gathered at the spot where a Judge Matthew Begbie statue stood until recently. The chiefs thanked the City of New Westminster for showing leadership by removing the statue and showing a path for other cities to follow with reconciliation.

Chief Jimmy Lulua – Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah) said Begbie represents the disrespect, mistreatment and abuse that were inflicted on Tsilhqot’in people.

“This might just look like a hunk of rock but for us – it means a lot more to people,” he said of the statue’s cement base.

Alphonse said the statue only represented one side of the story.

“Our side of the story

hasn’t be told. What this guy represented was sticking up and protecting laws, but not our laws. Our warriors who were executed were protecting our laws, when our women were violated,” he said. “If you are going to tell the story, tell the full story.

We want to be part of that.”

Following the gatherings, the City of New Westminster held an official ceremony at New Westminster Secondary School to com-

memorate the wrongful trial and hanging of Ahan.

It’s believed Ahan could be buried at the NWSS site, which was once a cemetery.

Alphonse said the Tsilhqot’in have asked the school district to guarantee them that a DNA sample will be taken if any bones are found during construction at the high school site.

“If those happened to be Chief Ahan’s bones, then we want them returned to us,” he said. “They brought Chief Ahan down here by horseback, so our plan was to bring him home on horseback. We’d ride him home.”

Once the school is built, it must be named after Ahan, Alphonse said.

“When that school is finally built, we’ve told you guys to name it Chief Ahan.

I’m going to keep on insisting on that until that happens. People say, ‘we have to have a policy’ – bull****.

If you want to kill something, you form a committee,” he said. “I am here to tell you, this is what we want.”

School district secretary-treasurer Kim Morris pointed out two different locations that are potential burial sites for Chief Ahan. Once the new school is built and the existing high school is demolished, she said that portion of the site will be a passive park where people can quietly reflect.

‘We can’t just allow these species to be driven to extinction’

Continued from page 1 “It’s ecologically sensitive with the species at risk that are here – the Nooksack dace, the cutthroat trout … For the Nooksack dace, this is the second-biggest population in all of Canada, and an oil spill here would be devastating. We can’t just allow these species to be driven to extinction. It’s not just morally wrong; it’s against the law.”

After the walk, Leach said one of his main concerns is the effect on trees in the area. McCartney said the project would likely require removal of dozens of trees because the pipeline runs along the Brunette conservation area in a relatively narrow space between the CN Rail tracks and Highway 1.

Along for the walk were New Westminster-Burnaby member of Parliament Peter Julian and Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley, both of whom said the informa-

tion presented Tuesday morning strengthened their resolve in opposing the pipeline expansion. “[It] has been described as a twinning of a pipeline, but certainly in New West and Burnaby there’s no twinning of the pipeline. It’s an absolutely new line, cut through a real important ecological area,” Hurley said.

Julian, one of a handful of incumbent NDP MPs running for re-election in the upcoming federal election, won’t have a chance to bring the Brunette River concerns up in Parliament, which is out of session until after the fall election. However, he did say he will be making the pipeline an election issue.

“I’ve been raising it on the door steps, and people have been raising it on the door steps with me. One of the first questions I get [is] ‘you’re opposed Walking tour: Vic Leach with New West Environmental Partners speaks with MP Peter Julian about the Brunette River during a walking to TransMountain, right?’ and I tour on Tuesday. PHOTO DUSTIN GODFREY say ‘yes.’”

City SAFETY

Pedestrians to get more time to cross streets Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster is using new “pedestrian clearance practices” in all future signal timing adjustments.

New Westminster city council recently received a staff report about pedestrian signal timing, which noted the general practice has been to use pedestrian walking speed of 1.2 metres per second.

The report states a review of current North American best practice indicates a walking speed of 1.0 metres per second is now preferred, and suggested the walking speed should be reduced to 0.9 metres per second or slower near destinations likely to attract slower-moving pedestrians such as children, seniors and people with disabilities.

According to the report, the review also determined that pedestrian clearance intervals should be completely contained within the green phase and should not rely

on the subsequent amber or all-red phase for pedestrians to complete their crossing.

“This will improve pedestrian comfort by reducing the likelihood that pedestrians will be in the intersection during the amber or allred phase. It will also reduce the probability of conflicts between pedestrians and left-turning vehicles during the amber or all-red phases,” said the report. “Engineering staff have accepted these two pedestrian clearance practices as the preferred methodology and will use them in all future signal timing adjustments.”

The report noted 11 of 13 pedestrian signals in New Westminster have already been modified with longer pedestrian clearance intervals. Royal Avenue at Seventh Street and Royal Avenue at Third Street are the two exceptions because these signals must be coordinated with other signals on Royal Avenue and more analysis is needed before this can be done.

“The provision of updat-

ed pedestrian clearance intervals at pedestrian traffic signals is a first step in providing greater safety and comfort for pedestrians,” said the report. “The development of a pedestrian-first traffic signal policy would

individuals of all abilities to choose walking as a mode of transportation will demonstrate the city’s leadership in prioritizing pedestrians in our community.”

In May, the New Westminster and Burnaby Walk-

ers Caucus wrote to the city to voice concern about the difficulties that seniors, children and pedestrians who use mobility aids sometimes experience when crossing streets in New Westminster.

City still looking at what caused power outage Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

It’s possible the cause of a power outage that left many New West neighbourhoods without power on Saturday morning may have been vaporized.

Rod Carle, general manager of the city’s electrical utility, said the outage occurred about 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 13 and knocked out power in much of New Westminster for a couple of hours. Royal Columbian Hospital was also impacted and used its emergency generators during the outage.

“I am going to say it was two-thirds of the city,” he said. “It was our substation at Ovens and Colborne, right by the city’s yards office. It covered at least twothirds of the city. We are currently feeding Queensborough out of that substation now too. So, all of Queensborough, and pretty well everything outside of the downtown area.”

Crews from BC Hydro

and the City of New Westminster both responded to the power outage and tried to find the cause of the outage, which shut down the entire substation.

According to Carle, an “intense” fault was discovered outside in the yard, but the cause of that hasn’t been determined.

“They go through a series of processes and alarm checks to see if they can actually identify the real cause. Even as of yesterday they still weren’t sure what it was,” he said. “A lot of times we will get a single feeder or whatever, and it could be a bird or a raccoon or whatever, but usually we end up finding the cause at the bottom of the poles or the structure. In this case they said the fault was so huge if there was some type of a critter it would just vaporize.”

Once crews confirmed it was safe to turn the power back on, they turned on the 16 feeders that provide the city with power – one by one.

Power down: City workers look to solve a power outage on July 13. PHOTO SHANE MACKICHAN

In his 14 years with the city, Carle said he’s never seen this type of scenario occur at the substation.

The July 13 incident was the third power outage in New Westminster in the past month-and-a-half.

While power was soon restored to many properties following a May 29 power outage in the Glen-

brook North and Queen’s Park neighbourhoods, some residences and businesses around Sixth and McBride were without power for nearly 24 hours. The cause was determined to be a burnt underground cable, which crews had to locate and then repair.

Following a June 27 power outage in the 700 and

800 blocks of Carnarvon Street, city crews found three blown fuses in an unground vault. Once those were replaced, power was restored.

In response to May’s power outage, city staff reviewed communications protocols for electrical outages, after receiving complaints about a lack of com-

munication to residents about when power would be restored. Now, as soon as power outage occurs, electrical staff contact the city’s communications staff, who post information in the city’s social media channels.

The July 13 power outage has resulted in new concerns from residents, who have recommended the city include a phone number on electrical bills that people can call when there is a power outage, and have expressed concern about seniors’ inability to access elevators in their condos when the power is out and suggested they need to be provided with information about what to do. Carle is meeting with staff in the finance and communications departments to discuss these concerns.

After the recent run of power outages, Carle hopes the city has seen the end of these types of incidents for a while.

“We certainly appreciate all the comments we have received,” he said.

City Redesigned parklet now open Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A revamped parklet on Belmont Street is open for business in Uptown New Westminster.

In June, council directed staff to proceed with the redesign and construction of the Belmont Street parklet.

First created at this location in July 2016, the space was recently redesigned to address neighbourhood concerns and undesirable activities in the parklet.

“For the most part, the physical installation of the new parklet is complete and fully operational. Staff are monitoring on a daily basis and will continue to make refinements as needed,” James Doan, the city’s manager of community development, said in an email to the Record. “Feedback received so far has been very positive.”

According to Doan, the city and the Uptown Business Association are continuing to work on options for programming the space over the summer and early fall.

Fresh look: The redesigned Belmont parklet is now open. PHOTO

JENNIFER GAUTHIER

Last summer, more than 120 residents, businesses and business patrons signed a petition expressing “distress” over the activities in the parklet and seeking action from the city to address their concerns. The city included $15,000 in this year’s budget to revamp the space.

The new design includes a smaller deck area, expanded greenspace, including more planted areas and

trees, the replacement of tables and chairs with fixed seating, and the replacement of concrete barriers around the parklet with tree planters. Increased enforcement of city bylaws, such as no smoking and drinking, improved lighting levels at night, and more programming for family-friendly activities are also planned for the space that will be limited to use from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Limiting council debate feels like a drastic option When we first heard of a motion that could put time limits on how long New Westminster council members could speak at meetings, we wondered how that would be enforced.

We had some fun imagining someone standing at the side of council chambers with a giant foam stick, waiting to smash a huge gong stop a local politicians from rambling.

Or perhaps tiny sprinklers could be attached to each council member’s desk to give them a quick spritz if

they run past the time limit.

Excuse us for dreaming, but the idea of politicians pontificating for shorter periods of time feels exciting, although we would be worried about certain loquacious New West council members self-combusting if they get cut off.

As tempting as it is to put a cork in politicians, this seems like a slippery slope.

For instance, what’s even a fair time limit to impose on a politician? Who decides on that? And is this actually a serious enough

problem to warrant what feels like drastic action?

Council passed Coun.

Mary Trentadue’s motion asking staff to report back on “efficiencies” that council can consider when it comes to public meetings.

The motion suggests efficiencies to be explored should include, but not be limited to, consideration of time limits for council members’ comments and questions, and limits to the number of times a councillor might comment unless they’re presenting new in-

formation.

“In light of the some of the very long meetings that we have had, I think it would be interesting to consider reducing the time that council has to comment on items,” Trentadue said. “I know it doesn’t occur all the time, but there are times where meetings go very late and council may often take up a lot of time in their comments. I think that that really makes it a challenging environment for the community, but also for other councillors.”

Councillors Jaimie McEvoy and Chuck Puchmayr opposed the motion, with Puchmayr making a good point about how a reduction in the number of overall meetings has impacted the remaining meetings.

“We have gone from meeting almost half-a-year down to about 18 regular meetings,” he said. “I do see that that is causing some of the meetings to run longer.”

Following last fall’s civic election, council approved its 2019 schedule, which includes 20 regular

council meetings, a handful of workshops on council meeting days and eight public hearings. That compares to more than 30 days for regular and committee of the whole meetings, public hearings or special council meetings in 2014.

Prior to September 2015, council held committee of the whole meetings on Mondays.

Perhaps instead of trying to stifle debate, council should consider meeting more often.

B.C. budget is still a bit vulnerable Finance Minister Carole James was rightly proud last week when the auditor-general signed off on the books from the last fiscal year and agreed the budget surplus was a whopping $1. 5 billion.

Nevertheless, the government’s public accounts also contained a bit of a warning about how fast things could go wrong.

James built prudence into her 2018-19 budget, as well as the current year’s. Like her BC Liberal predecessor, Mike de Jong, she lowballed projected revenues on several fronts, particularly those linked to taxation.

Personal income tax revenues ended up being $1.5 billion higher than expected and corporate income tax was more than $1 billon higher. Countering that somewhat was a $400-million drop in property transfer tax revenues.

That is a lot of money moving around in unanticipated ways. It is also a reminder that taxes have a volatility that can make or break government budgets.

Which brings me to the table on page 13 of the government’s public accounts.

It charts where government revenues have come from the five past fiscal years and breaks them down into seven categories: taxation, contributions from the federal government, fees and licences, miscellaneous, contributions from Crown corporations, natural resources and investment income.

During the past five years, the only significant area of growth when it comes to those categories is taxation

revenues, which climbed almost $10 billion and now account for almost 60 per cent of the overall revenue total, up from about 50 per cent five years ago.

James said the steady and substantial growth in tax dollars is the result of a wellperforming economy. But this increasing reliance on tax dollars to pay for things like the inevitably huge annual increase in health-care spending alone -- $500 million to $1 billion a year – exposes the B.C. government to a potential deficit situation should the economy start to slow down by even a minor degree.

An economic slowdown will reduce personal income tax revenues, corporate income tax revenues and sales tax revenues. Based on the trend of the past five years, the lost revenue is unlikely to be made up from other areas (barring a big increase in tax rates or bleeding a Crown corporation dry).

A budget deficit would likely reduce the government’s currently strong credit rating, making it more expensive to borrow money.

Of course, there are no signs of a slowdown yet, although some economists insist another recession is just around the corner.

This state of affairs is what keeps finance ministers like James from boasting too much about the government’s economic performance. She knows that disaster can strike at any moment.

Union cries foul on falling paint The United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union was outraged that toxic lead paint sandblasted off the Pattullo Bridge was being allowed to drop uncollected into the salmon-rich Fraser River. The union said the ministry of transportation was “derelict in their duties” for not finding a way to collect the paint, but the ministry said the Department of Fisheries and Oceans had green-lighted the project because the “high dilution factor” would make the amount of lead “negligible.” Union environmental coordinator Arnie Thomlinson said the approval had likely been an informal one and not in keeping with new awareness around toxic materials.

Redesigned parklet an ‘absolute waste’ of taxpayer money

Time limits will be good to stop ‘rambling’ by council members

Editor: Re: Redesigned Belmont Street parklet now open, Record, July 20 I have just read the article from Theresa McManus regarding the new parklet at Belmont and Sixth.

She neglected to say that they have also installed a new smoking section across the street on the sidewalk with a sign reading “Smokers Welcome.”

As a resident of Belmont Street, it has become obvious in just the last week or so since the parklet has reopened that this has been an absolute waste of $15,000 of taxpayer money.

The parklet is not being used as planned because it appears that all of the smokers that were inhabiting the old parklet have now just moved across the street to the ashtray. Rarely is anyone in the parklet.

It quite often is not possible to walk on the sidewalk because of the people who are now standing there – some with their own chairs and even a boom box on the electrical panel for day-long entertainment.

It has already become a hangout for people who are there all day long.

The petitions and meetings that were presented to the city have obviously been ignored, as the city seems to have their own agenda regarding this parklet and care very little about the residents who are affected by this decision.

Gordon Grant, New Westminster

Editor: Re: Should there be time limits on how long New West politicians speak? Record, July 17 I totally support the concept of placing limits on the time any city councillor can speak on any matter.

No one needs to sit through someone rambling on endlessly, supposedly on behalf of their constituents, but more often just to hear the sound of their own voice.

Time limits on speeches and comments are a feature of most elected bodies. I am sure New Westminster politicians can learn to adapt.

Long meetings serve no one. Perhaps city council should meet more frequently if the workload is too high for the limited number of times they meet.

Is a long summer break really necessary? Are council members arriving prepared for those meetings?

It sounds to me that the answer is that some are not prepared in advance.

City council business should not be carried out by councillors who don’t have enough time to prepare.

Hopefully everyone can pitch in to make New Westminster a better-functioning city.

12 THURSDAY July 25, 2019 • New Westminster RECORD

Community City cancels transgender talk Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster is reviewing its process for booking events at city-owned facilities after cancelling a public talk by a vocal opponent of “transgender politics” at the Queensborough Community Centre.

It isn’t the first time a talk

by Jenn Smith, a trans-identifying man who prefers “he/ him” pronouns, has been cancelled by a public institution in New West; he first attempted to book his talk, titled “The erosion of freedom,” at Douglas College in June.

More than a month after that event was cancelled, Smith announced the same talk was scheduled on Aug. 1 at the Queensborough Community Centre.

But city officials have confirmed that talk was cancelled on July 18.

In an email, James Doan, the city’s manager of community development, said the city has the right to decline or cancel events at city facilities that go against the

city’s mission. Doan points to two city documents that outline the city’s mission: The official community plan, which says New West is a “caring and inclusive community,” and the strategic plan, which calls New West a city “known for social inclusion and equity.”

Both the Douglas and Queensborough events were booked under a name other than Smith’s, and both were cancelled after more information came to light for the public institutions.

Doan said it’s “not uncommon” for such events to be scheduled by a third party, but, he added, the city is reviewing its policies around event bookings.

“In light of last week’s cancellation, we will be reviewing the information we currently require and determine whether additional information should be requested prior to confirming event bookings,” Doan said.

Langley-based LGBTQ+ activist Brad Dirks said in an interview last month that it’s a regular tactic from Smith.

“His endgame is generally

to publicize where he’s going to be speaking, knowing that we’re [B.C. Families for Inclusivity] going to contact the venue, and then he plays the victim, acting like we’re targeting his right to free speech,” Dirks said.

Smith often makes big claims about his critics – in one blog post, he compares people who protested against his talk in Victoria to Nazis – and pegs himself as a free speech advocate. In another post, dated July 19, he lists post-secondary institutions that have cancelled his talks, including Douglas College, declaring that the government is “eroding our freedoms and trampling free speech.”

But Dirks said there’s no room for talks like Smith’s – particularly in publicly owned venues.

“This person deliberately has cherry-picked information that he shares to basically turn anybody who listens to him against” the LGBTQ+ community, Dirks said. “I don’t believe that any venue … should be allowing this type of stuff to take place.”

FOOD TRUCK FEST WHAT’S HAPPENING? The seventh annual Columbia StrEAT Food Truck Fest, which is Canada’s largest food truck festival, is on Saturday, July 27 from 4 to 10 p.m. on Columbia Street. Produced by the Downtown New West BIA, the festival features more than 250 vendors and attracts thousands of people.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT? Yummy food, fun and entertainment.

“Join in on the festivities and chow down on a scrumptious assortment of food trucks, including all your classic food truck favourites and newer upand-coming food truck hits,” said a press release from the BIA. “Once you’ve gotten your food truck fix, quench your thirst at one of our beer and wine gardens and relax in a shaded patio under the backdrop of live music entertainment, sponsored

by Westminster Savings

Credit Union and specially curated by the Arts Council of New Westminster.”

Entertainers will be on three stages spread throughout the festival (Begbie, McKenzie and Blackwood), with shows starting at 4, 5:30, 7 and 8:30 p.m. Featured entertainers include DJ Kookum, Patrick Kao, Jeff Neufeld, Mob Bounce, Amber Tsang and Stephen Hamm.

The Chill Zone, which features plenty of seating and a DJ, is also a place where you can relax and enjoy a free artisan popsicle from Johnny’s Pops.

While you’re at the festival, you can also shop at the artisan market at Anvil Centre, where you’ll find a wide range of hand-crafted artisan goods.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Attendance is free – but you’ll want to bring cash to purchase food and bevvies, as well as to shop at the artisan market.

Sunny days: Columbia Street teems with foodies during the 2018 food truck fest. This year’s Columbia StrEAT Food Truck Fest comes downtown on Saturday, July 27 from 4 to 10 p.m. PHOTO RECORD FILES

Community City wants to tackle McBride traffic troubles Councillors say construction of new school may provide a chance to solve the pickup and drop-off crisis Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster city council hopes construction of a new elementary school is a chance to tackle the crisis that occurs when parents are picking up and dropping off their kids.

The school district is currently working on a site plan, building design and landscape plan for the new Richard McBride Elementary School, which is aiming to open in September 2021.

City staff will complete an assessment and determine what variances to city regulations will be needed as part of the project.

Coun. Patrick Johnstone noted the current plan includes parking adjacent to the school’s property line on Richmond Street.

“Richmond Street is a greenway – it is supposed to be a greenway through the city. With all due respect to parents worldwide, the most dangerous place for vulnerable road users is the roadway in front a school during pickup and drop-off. It is a chaotic zone which creates a lot of hazards for pedestrians and cyclists trying to get through that zone,” he said. “If Richmond Street is going to be hosting a pickup and drop-off area, that needs to be approached

with great caution, and it needs to be considered how a greenway is going to function in that space with a pickup and drop-off.”

Lynn Roxburgh, a senior planner, said the city is working with the school district to move pickup and drop-off onto the school site and off the street.

Coun. Mary Trentadue noted the engineering department’s work plan includes work on pickup and drop-off around school sites. She hopes the redevelopment project provides an opportunity for some outof-the-box thinking.

“I don’t know what the answers are but I don’t want us to continue to do the same. Pickup and drop-off at school is terrible. I am a parent so I experience it every day and I could have a battle with a parent every single day of the school year because of pickup and dropoff. It’s terrible,” she said. “I would really like us to take this opportunity to be really creative in coming up with some ways that will protect our kids but also make it reasonable for parents to get their kids to school as they need to.”

According to the report, the applicant is required to enter into a works-and-services agreement regarding things like roadwork, ser-

vice connections and street lighting, but the school district has indicated there isn’t enough money in the budget for the full scope of offsite works.

Whenever anyone constructs a building in the city, Johnstone said it’s expected they will upgrade or bring offsite services up to a stan-

dard. He said it’s important to remember the city isn’t negotiating these costs with the school district but the province, and it should be required to provide offsite infrastructure that would be expected from any other homeowner, developer or business.

“I recognize there is a sig-

nificant public interest in having a new school built in our community but the idea that we would vary the requirements to provide those community amenities to a builder because it’s the provincial government who is building the building and not someone else is something that I am concerned

about. I think those are actual costs,” he said. “If it doesn’t fall on the provincial government, it falls on the municipal government, and I’ll say it, it’s a form of downloading if they are going to try and get out of paying those costs.”

City Protesters hold rally for drug decriminalization Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

About 20 people braved wind and threats of rain to rally outside the office of New Westminster MLA and Judy Darcy on July 17.

Organized by long-time drug policy activist Dana Larsen, the rally outside Darcy’s constituency office was the final in a protest circuit of four ministers whose purviews relate to the overdose crisis, including Attorney General David Eby, Solicitor General Mike Farnworth and Health Minister Adrian Dix. Darcy was nowhere in sight Wednesday afternoon, and Larsen said he’s been trying to arrange a meeting with the mental health and addictions minister for about half a year to no avail.

The rallies, which Larsen is calling “Occupy For Safe Supply,” are calling for the provincial government to enact legislation that would effectively decriminalize drugs. Larsen points to a report from B.C.’s top doctor Bonnie Henry urging the

government to decriminalize drug users.

After his rally outside Dix’s office, Larsen said he had a conversation with the health minister, and he asked if the government would heed the provincial health officer’s call.

“He just wouldn’t answer.

He would not say ‘yes, I do support it’ or ‘no, I don’t.’

Everytime, he would just talk about something else or give a different answer,” Larsen said.

“I can’t imagine any other public health crisis where the health minister just totally ignores the advice from the province’s chief health officer. If this was SARS or measles or something, and the chief health officer was saying something and he was like ‘whatever,’ that would just be outrageous.”

He noted the endorsement of decriminalization from a wide array of healthcentred organizations, from the B.C. Nurses’ Union and the B.C. Centre for Disease Control to the Canadian Mental Health Association.

While fatal overdos-

es counted up to 150 per month at the height of the crisis between late 2017 and mid-2018, the most recent data from the B.C. Coroners Service shows the rate of fatal overdoses in B.C. more commonly at 80 per month in the first five months of 2019.

In New Westminster, 10 people have died of overdoses this year. If that rate continues for the rest of the year, it would be about 25 altogether, around the same as in 2017 and about 10 fewer than in 2018.

But that doesn’t mean that there are fewer overdoses happening, Eris Nyx told those in attendance over a loudspeaker.

“What does that mean?

We’re getting better at traumatizing ourselves, administering naloxone to people who have overdosed on the street. We’re getting better at running overdose prevention services,” Nyx said.

“What kind of mental traumas are this government dealing to people by not changing their regime?”

who formerly worked at safe injection site Insite and the Crosstown Clinic, which provides pharmaceutical heroin and injectable hydromorphone to a small group of drug users, said Crosstown patients find their lives stabilizing while on prescription heroin.

“That sounds scary to people that don’t know what that means. They’re working. They have their children. They have meaning in their lives, relationships, friends,” Main said.

“This is a step toward recovery. If someone wants to decrease their drug use, safe supply is a step toward that.”

The call for drug decriminalization and for a safe drug supply has been growing louder in recent years, as more prominent people add their voices to the cause.

Although the federal Liberal government has dodged calls within its own party to decriminalize drugs, it did commit on Wednesday more than $70 million in new funding for the overdose cri-

sis. That included more than $30 million each for harm reduction and a safe supply projects, such as pharmaceutical heroin or injectable hydromorphone.

However, Larsen said the solution is to reduce funding – specifically for police forces, by ending arrests and detention of drug users for simple possession.

The provincial government, too, has declined to follow Henry’s plan for defacto decriminalization.

AS WE AGE

Fall prevention is key

In Canada, more than 137,500 seniors (age 65 and older) were hospitalized for injuries in 2017 and 2018, with most injuries caused by falls, according to new data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). Last year, seniors accounted for more than half of all injury-related hospitalizations among Canadians, with 63 per cent of senior hospitalizations for women. A “hospitalization” means a patient was admitted and spent at least one night in the hospital.

CIHI’s data shows that four out of five injury hospitalizations involving seniors were because of a fall; vehicle collisions were the second leading cause.

Falls are also the top reason for injury among seniors seen in the emergency room. Falls accounted for 60 per cent of all reported ER visits among seniors, with an estimated 20 per cent admitted to the hospital.

Most of the falls that prompted the reported ER

Top three reasons for injury hospitalizations among seniors: 1. Falls: 112,008 (81%) 2. Vehicle collisions: 5,885 (4%) 3. Accidental poisoning: 2,713 (2%) – Canadian Institute for Health Information (2017-2018 data)

Take care: Mobility challenges can increase with age, and so can the risk of falling. PHOTO ISTOCK

visits occurred at home (28 per cent) while 14 per cent took place in residential institutions such as long-term care facilities.

“Seniors are the fastestgrowing population in Canada and it’s important that we take steps to prevent injuries and hospitalizations among this age group,” said Greg Webster, director, acute and ambulatory care information services, CIHI. “Injuries from falls and vehicles send thousands of seniors to the hospital every

year and these injuries are often preventable.”

The Toronto Rehabilitation Institute’s Geoff Fernie provides two practical ways for seniors to prevent falls: Wear safe footwear indoors and outdoors to reduce slips.

Install easily graspable handrails on both sides of your stairs and outdoor steps at home – and use them.

Fernie also encourages seniors to use handrails and grab bars in public spaces.

ROTARY IN ACTION

Community YouTuber or astronaut?

Kids’ priorities are askew Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

This week marks the 50th anniversary of American astronaut Neil Armstrong becoming the first person to ever set foot on the moon.

It was “one small step for man, and one giant leap for mankind” and the world watched in awe.

From that moment on, children all over the world learned that they could do anything they wanted if they set their minds to it. They could reach for the stars – literally.

Nowadays, children seem less interested in changing the world and more interested in showing their own world to others.

To celebrate the anniversary of Apollo 11’s most memorable mission, LEGO conducted a survey where they asked 3,000 children between the ages of eight and 12, located across the US, the UK, and China, questions related to space, and one of the questions that was asked was, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

According to the survey results, “About three in 10 American and British children replied that they wanted to be YouTubers or Vloggers – careers making videos on the Internet for fame

and fortune. Lesser preferences included becoming a teacher, professional athlete, or musician. Becoming an astronaut ranked last, at 11 per cent.”

What will our world become if kids are more likely to aspire to become YouTubers, than astronauts? If they’re choosing narcissism over gratifying the needs of others, we should definitely be concerned.

When I was growing up, children aspired to work in professions that helped others in some way or another

Children seem less interested in changing the world

– they wanted to be a teacher, or a doctor, or a lawyer, or an astronaut, or a fireman. They learned that if they worked really hard at school, and went on to study in those fields, they could gain rewarding careers that not only paid a satisfying salary but that resulted in contributing to society in a meaningful way.

I know that the digital world has brought on new and exciting career options – many of which didn’t even exist when I was a child (or even when I was in univer-

sity studying while trying to determine which career path to take). I think there are truly valuable job options as a result, especially as technology becomes a more essential element of our future.

But I also worry that the generations to come are more interested in gaming gigs and vlogging vocations than they are concerned with choosing careers that will better our world or even themselves – at least in some small way.

There are so many important roles that are seeing a great reduction in the number of children interested in those career paths. We need more kids to try working in the trades. There are tons of important tech jobs that need to fill openings, and teachers are still needed greatly in B.C. today.

Now more than ever, it’s important to show our kids the variety of vocations available to them, and why they need to think about the bigger picture when they choose which career path to follow. Perhaps that one little step will end up preparing them for a purposeful future.

Participants required for a major national hearing study.

Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

The test will take approximately 60 minutes. Participants must: • Be over 50 years of age • Have never worn hearing aids • Have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss*. By taking part in this hearing study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek information.

Community New West actor is a star under the stars Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A local woman is delighting audiences in Theatre Under the Stars’ production of Mamma Mia! Keira Jang has the starring role as Sophie in the TUTS production of Mamma Mia!, which runs until Aug. 16 at Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park. While attending New Westminster Secondary School, Jang appeared in various productions, including the lead role of Elle Woods in the 2017 production of Legally Blonde.

In Mamma Mia!, Sophie, who is getting set to marry her fiancé Sky, has tracked down the three men who may be her father – without her mother’s knowledge.

It’s the story of a mother, a daughter and three possible dads.

Set on a Greek island, this feel-good musical features some of ABBA’s greatest hits.

Jang, who kicks off the production with a beauti-

ful rendition of I Have a Dream, is part of the cast performing songs including Honey, Honey,ThankYou for the Music, DoesYour Mother Know and Gimme, Gimme, Gimme.You’ll also hear this amazing cast belting out tunes like Dancing Queen, Take a Chance on Me and, of course, Mamma Mia. If you have a chance to see Mamma Mia!, do it – you won’t be disappointed.

It’s sure to leave you smiling (and singing) all the way home.

Alternating nights with Mamma Mia! at TUTS 2019 is Disney’s Newsies, a story of newspaper boys who strike for fair pay and humane working conditions in New York City in 1899.

Arts & Entertainment Family-friendly Shakespeare returns to Queen’s Park Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

The Bard is back in town.

New West’s own Shadows and Dreams Theatre Company has returned to the bandshell at Queen’s Park for three weekends of Shakespearean fun.

The company is presenting The Comedy of Errors – which it first produced all the way back in 2009. In true Shakespearean style, audiences will get to enjoy “mayhem, mistaken identity and too many twins,” as the company describes it, guaranteeing plenty of laughs under sunny skies.

The play opened this past weekend and continues on Saturdays and Sundays for the next two weekends: July 27 and 28, and Aug. 3 and 4. As always, it’s free, and families with kids of all ages are welcome.

You can find more details on Facebook (search for Shadows & Dreams Theatre Co.) or just turn up at the park for the 2 p.m. show.

TEEN SHAKESPEARE

And while we’re talking Shakespeare, check this one out too.

A New Westminster teen is part of the fun as Carousel Theatre for Young People runs its annual Teen Shakespeare Program this summer.

The teen production of TheWinter’s Tale is on at the outdoor stage at Performance Works on Granville Island from Friday, July 26 to Saturday, Aug. 10.

New West’s Monica Emme is the set and props designer for this year’s production, which also features a cast of 16 teenage actors.

TheWinter’s Tale is in preview this Friday, July 26 at 7:30 p.m., with opening night on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Shows are at 7:30 p.m. from Monday to Saturday, to Aug. 10.

Tickets to the productions are free, but premium seating is available in advance for $6. The stage is at 1218 Cartwright St., Granville Island, and shows will be moved indoors in the event of rain.

To book tickets, see tick-

WINTON WINS It’s pretty much a rule in coverage of the New Westminster arts scene that if I leave my desk for a vacation, someone will win an award for something.

Now that I’m back, I must offer up a slightly belated congratulations to Colleen Winton, the New Westminster actor who recently snagged herself a Jessie Award for her performance in the Snapshots Collective production of Sweeney Todd:The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Winton’s award was one of four for the production, which also earned honours as Outstanding Musical Production (Small Theatre) and took home the hardware for lead actor (Warren Kimmel) and supporting actor (Oliver Castillo) as well.

Experience a magical world at River Market Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A series of magical summer craft fairs are happening at River Market this summer.

The Wylde Wood Faires is an extension of what The Wylde Wood Collective carries in its shop and the community it celebrates and promotes, including fantasy, gothic, steampunk and historic-themed original art, craft and design. The events feature shopping, music, kids’ activities, demonstrations, photo ops and more.

TobyAnne Stanley, who is producing the fairs, said the idea is to give the public a larger and more experiential taste of what happens in the shop. Many of the Wylde Wood Collective’s artists are taking part.

“Shopping is a big part of a craft fair, but we believe these events should move with the times and become a more immersive and interactive experience. Our faire is celebratory.You can try costumes on, speak to the artists about their work and their processes, join us for a parade, blow bubbles off the balcony outside, take part in our colouring contest or write a letter to the faeries,” Stanley said. “We had sword-fighting demonstrations at the first fair that were a hit.

Upcoming Wylde Wood Faires are being held on Aug. 3 and 17 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the second floor of River Market.

“The Wylde Wood, like all enchanted realms, shifts visually with the seasons.

We have customers who return again and again just to spend time with us and enjoy the ambience of the Wylde Wood,” said store proprietor Melissa Mary Duncan in a press release. “One of the great things about The Wylde Wood Faires is that they allow for direct contact between those that make the work found at our shop and the general public.You

can meet many of our Wylde Wooders, which is how we fondly refer to our creatives, practising their craft.

Guests and vendors are encouraged to come in costume. Each faire will continue to be delightful.”

The Wylde Wood Collective’s summer theme loosely celebrates the classic tale TheWind in theWillows, from which The Wylde Wood gets its name.

The shop, which opened in River Market in June 2018, also puts on special events.

Fall art classes are in the works, and discussions are underway about holding a Faerie Ball, which would be a grand, costumed event for the public, and also a Christmas Faire.

ASK A REALTOR

Q

In your opinion what single government action could help make buying a home in Greater Vancouver more obtainable?

A

Adjust the Property Transfer Tax Rate! Property Transfer DERRICK THORNHILL Tax was introduced by the Park Georgia Realty Socred government in 1987. It was designed to tax speculators and the wealthy. It was based on a percentage of sale price. Of course, back then, the average sale price in the lower mainland was $150,000.00 and the Property Transfer Tax owing was about $1,500.00.

Today, that same tax it is about $20,000.00. The government needs to adjust this flagrant tax grab to help todays buyer get a foothold in one of the worlds most expensive real estate markets.

Q A

I suffer from extremely dry eyes. What do you recommend at the pharmacy?

There are many reasons why someone may suffer from dry eyes. Aside from medical conditions, people can develop dry eyes from side effects of JINNA PARK medications, exposure to cigarette smoke, from wearing contacts, looking into bright screens, and even from regular aging. My first recommendation for treating dry eyes is to take omega 3 liquids, which contain essential fatty acids that help improve the eyes’ oil film. Unfortunately, many fish oil capsule supplements can be ineffective. I personally recommend Metagenics Omegagenics 2400 Fish Oil Liquid, where 1 teaspoon would give the same active ingredients as 12 salmon oil capsules. I also recommend Maqui, an anti-oxidant supplement that works by reversing and preventing the inflammation caused by oxidative stress to cells at the lacrimal gland of the eye.

ASK A PERSONAL TRAINER

Q

I never seem to reach my fitness goals. What am I doing wrong?

A

The main reason people fail to achieve fitness goals, is that goals like: “I want to lose 20lbs IRINA ALMASAN in the next 6 months” don’t OWNER/PERSONAL TRAINER allow for wiggle room when life gets in the way. Instead, switch to setting a “health zone”. Your “health zone” consists of a lower limit (habits you maintain no matter what) and an upper limit (the maximum you can realistically commit to doing). A client set the following health zone: lower limit – walk to skytrain daily and take the stairs to the office; upper limit – lower limit + gym 3x per week. As long as she’s somewhere between her lower and upper limits, she knows she’s meeting her goals. Can you think of a health zone you can set for yourself?

ASK A VETERINARIAN

Q A

Can I take my dog swimming this summer?

All dogs are not natural swimmers. Some dogs, and most cats do not like the water. Pets DR. MANJU ARORA are not aware of the dangers that water can pose. A few precautions can help you ensure that your pet enjoys the water safely this summer.

Encourage your furry friend to step into a few inches of water in a lake or kiddie pool. If you try the test in a lake, use a leash so that your pet can be quickly reached if necessary. Always use a pet life jacket on your pet before entering the water.

Do not force your pet into the water if he or she is fearful.

Do not let your pet drink chlorinated, river or ocean water.

Give your pet a bath after swimming.

ASK A WINDOW COVERINGS EXPERT

ASK A NURSE

Q A

Why is post-hospital care important for seniors?

Canadian seniors make up 40% of all hospitalizations, and 36% of them return to the emergency room within seven days post-discharge.

WENDY J SCOTT While at least 35% of seniors aged RN, BScN, MA 75+ need home care after leaving the hospital, less than half of them start within three days post-discharge. Post-discharge care is the best way to ensure patients regain their strength while keeping hospital beds open for new admissions. Home care assistance can greatly reduce risk for seniors–even if they don’t feel vulnerable.

As a patient or family member, you shouldn’t have to worry about post- discharge care. The best way to support recovery — and avoid readmission — is to work with an organization who can continue to provide care at home.

Contact us to find out how we’re making lives better, and how you can experience the best healing opportunity.

Q A

How can a window covering help with energy efficiency, cold air, insulation and/or sound absorption?

A window covering such as cellular/honey comb shades are one of the LACEY & CLAY TIERNEY best options for energy efficiency as they create an air gap between the room and the window. Inside the honey comb design, there is a high quality polyester which aids in sound absorption.

In addition, they are one of the only products with a top-down/bottom-up option which provides tremendous versatility – they can be made very large to suit New Westminster’s modern high-rise population.

Cellulars can also fit the application of heritage homes with single pane windows and they can still maintain a traditional look and feel.

Shaun Majumder’s HATE tour is landing onstage at the Massey on Saturday, Nov. 23, and tickets go on sale Saturday, June 8.

Majumder is an awardwinning actor and comedian who hails from Burlington, Nfld.

He starred in the Farrelly Brothers Fox comedy Unhitched in 2008 before his Comedy Central Presents special debuted; he has since appeared on 24 and Cedric the Entertainer Presents and was a cast member of This Hour Has 22 Minutes.

His documentary series Majumder Manor, which ran for two seasons on the W Network, told the story of his dream to transform his hometown into a high-end, sustainable tourist destination.

Film credits include Harold and Kumar Go toWhite Castle,The Ladies Man, Pushing Tin, Purpose and Bob Funk, and he has hosted the Just For Laughs comedy festival TV series for three seasons.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Laughter Zone 101 to bring this Canadian comedic icon to our stage,” said Massey Theatre executive director Jessica Schneider in a press release.

“Comedy is such a great way to gather together, and our intimate theatre will put the audience in the palm of Shaun’s hilarious hand.”

Silver at Pan Ams for Grace Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Grace Fetherstonhaugh is not letting any dust gather in her first summer away from college.

The New West native ran a great race for Canada in San Jose, Costa Rica on Sunday, finishing second in the women’s 3000-metre steeplechase at the Under-20 Pan Am junior athletics championships.

Her time of 10:32.13 trailed only American Lydia Olivere of Villanova University. Fetherstonhaugh led until the 800m mark, when Olivere pulled ahead to post a time of 10:12.16.

Fetherstonhaugh, who finished her freshman year at Oregon State earlier this summer, posted a time nearly 16 seconds quicker than third-place finisher Megan Worrel, also of the U.S. A year ago the then-18-yearold represented Canada at the IAAF world junior championships in Finland, finishing 11th in the same event.

She is currently ranked 130th in the world for the 3000m steeplechase, having established a new personal record last year in Oregon with a time of 10:01.95.

This past April at the High Performance meet in Corvallis, the Oregon State freshman set the pace with a time of 10:31.17, the fourth-best time in school history. A few weeks later she put up a season-best time of 10:03.13 at the NCAA Div. 1 west regionals.

It has been a productive first year as a member of the Oregon State Beavers team. Fetherstonhaugh set new PBs in the 1500m (4:30.00 in Portland, Ore.) and the 5000m (17:00.14 in Tucson, Ariz.) in May. BIG HAUL FOR TRACK ATHLETES

The Royal City Track and Field Club sent a large contingent to compete at the B.C. Athletics Track and Field Jamboree in Kamloops earlier this month.

The club’s athletes accounted for 17 medals, including doublegold for under-16 Kairo Chaing, with first-place results in both the 100-metre hurdles and triple jump.

Tallying a pair of medals – gold in javelin, silver in shotput – each were u20 athletes Jarrett Chong and J.V. Patry-Smith, while u18 Isabella Brunoro achieved the same bounty in the girls 2000m steeplechase and 3000m marathon.

Also capturing gold were Zuzanna Liniewski, in u18 hammerthrow, and Levi Tuura, in boys u16 high jump.

Final push for ’Bellies’ playoff fate NewWest could clinch playoff berth by sweeping last two regular season games It could all come down to tonight.

The New Westminster Salmonbellies wrap up the 2019 Western Lacrosse Association regular season at Queen’s Park Arena tonight (Thursday) in a game where their playoff hopes could be on the line. They take on the Victoria Shamrocks at 7 p.m.

Also important was yesterday’s game (past Record deadline) in Langley where New West could have inched closer to locking up a playoff

spot. Winning both would punch their ticket.

The squad entered Wednesday sitting fifth in league standings with a 9-7-0 record – two points back of both Nanaimo and Burnaby.

The only team they hold a tie-breaker advantage over is Nanaimo, which finishes the regular schedule Friday in Burnaby.

Beating both Langley and second-place Victoria, New West would bounce Nanaimo from the playoffs, due to a 2-1 head-to-head record.

A tough 11-10 loss last Thursday to the Lakers was a big setback in the club’s playoff hopes.

New West trailed for much of the game, but rallied in the third period to pull even on Brandon Goodwin’s unassisted goal 7:22 into the third.

However, Burnaby replied twice to garner a bit of wiggle room, then fended off the ’Bellies advances the rest of the way.

Even one win, coupled with Burnaby beating Nanaimo on Friday, would get New West in.

BASKETBALL

New recruits add to Royals remix Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Restocking the shelf with an eye on competing again for a PacWest playoff berth, the Douglas College Royals unveiled its newest recruits for the women’s basketball program last week.

Among the new players are an MVP, a powerful inside-the-paint player and a three-point sniper.

It’s going to take all that and more to help replace a PacWest MVP and All-Canadian star, however.

Douglas head coach Steve Beauchamp has the benefit of building around a lot of returnees, with a roster that includes 11 sophomores looking to build upon last year’s provincial run.

Although they were bumped out in the quarterfinals, the biggest test will be moving on without fifthyear grad Rachel Beauchamp, who was the squad’s Connor McDavid when it came to stats and leadership.

“We had a lot of freshmen last year, and they gained a lot of experience,” remarked coach Beauchamp, who continues behind the bench without the team’s top scorer and rebounder, who also happens to be his daughter.

Beauchamp the player set the tone for the program the past five years, guiding them to the 2017 national championship tournament, earning three All-Canadian awards, as well as back-to-back PacWest Player of the Year honours.

The Surrey native established a new PacWest all-time record for rebounds with 822 over 92 games, and posted 1,263 points, good enough for second all-time in league scoring. So, while replacing her on-court presence will likely be too huge an ask, the Royals coach says he feels that a group effort can help make up what Beauchamp the player provided. But it will take a village, as the saying goes.

It all comes down to those second-year Royals to fill in the blanks.

“What they gained was a chance to work with Rachel, as we built the team around an All-Canadian and provincial all-star (last year),”

the coach noted. “Now that she’s gone, we need our returning sophomores to take that next step, take up the torch.”

Those for whom bigger opportunities await are New West’s Devin Strome, Vancouver’s Malena Mokhovikova and Sydney Fraess of Chilliwack.

The trio had decidedly different roles in 2018/19, with six-foot-one Mohkovikova, and Strome, six-feet tall, given supporting positions to Beauchamp. Mohkovikova, while averaging 19.5 minutes per game, led the squad with 2.4 blocked shots per game and finished second with 7.1 rebounds a night.

Strome saw less playing time, averaging 18 minutes, and contributed four-points a game. They are part of the solution, coach Beauchamp said, to replacing the retired for-

ward’s 19.3 points per game and 13.1 average rebounds. Fraess was often a starter but was also counted upon as an energy player who averaged 9.5-points per game at point guard.

“I’m really pleased with the work that Sydney has put in, she’s poised to step into a bigger role this year,” said the coach. “I really like what we’ve seen from Devin in workouts. She’s embraced the idea of working in the weight room, and of the need to get bigger and stronger.

“There’s also a great opportunity for Malena and Shaelynn (Tolerton) from a forward perspective, and I’m hoping they’ll seize it. We know (Mohkovikova) can block shots, and we’re hoping she’ll be a bigger part of the offensive execution.”

Another strong returnee, guard Cassandra Brinn of Richmond, struggled through injuries but still averaged over 20 minutes per game. Coach Beauchamp says having a healthy Brinn would go a long way to solidifying the back court. “(Brinn) was really bitten by the injury bug, but seeing her go at full speed in practice without those nagging injuries is really exciting.”

Those players will enter the new season with experience to build on, and will get to mentor the incoming rookies.

Leading the new recruits are Langley’s Hailey Van Roekel, Arizona native Sierra Gallego and Burnaby’s Jalynne Huynh as players who will bring energy and skill to the program.

JUNIOR LACROSSE

Sophomores, recruits have big shoes to fill

’Bellies get best-of-three chance Sunday’s game at Queen’s Park is a possible series clincher Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster junior A Salmonbellies are two games away from clinching a berth to this year’s Minto Cup. Unfortunately, the Victoria Shamrocks can boast the same thing.

The two teams are locked into a 2-2 series draw entering this weekend’s games, which will go a long way to decide who advances to the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League final.

Game 5 goes Saturday in Victoria (at Save-On Foods Place), while Game 6 is slated for Sunday, 4 p.m. at Queen’s Park Arena.

A seventh game, if necessary, would be played July 30 in Victoria.

New West deadlocked the series last Sunday with a compelling 13-11 win, where they only trailed for parts of the first period but had to repeatedly fend off the Shamrocks’ rally.

The ’Bellies built a sturdy 12-5 lead with a four-goal run to start the second period, on goals by

Nick Hannay, Gabe Procyk, Will Malcom and Tre Leclaire.

Ahead by six entering the third frame, New West was under siege when Victoria poured on the offence, counting five straight goals to make it a one-goal game.

But netminder Kyle Hebert and the defence held the fort and Procyk added some late insurance with 2:44 remaining to lock it down.

Both teams fired off 50 shots on net, with Victoria pelting Hebert with 21 over the final 20 minutes.

Procyk finished the evening with four goals and two assists, while Will Malcom picked up his second straight hat trick and set up two others. Leclaire chipped in a pair of goals, while Jacob Patterson, Jake Stott and Ty Yanko rounded

out the offence.

A day earlier on the Island, Victoria jumped ahead 2-1 in the series with a dramatic 15-14 victory.

The Shamrocks were in control most of the night, but New West shook off a six-goal deficit and rallied five consecutive goals in the third period to tie the game 14-14 with 5:19 left on the clock.

But Victoria’s Brian Robb stole the momentum with just 27 seconds remaining in regulation to give the home team the Game 3 win.

Leclaire racked up four goals and two assists in the game, while Malcom tallied three goals and five helpers. Also notching a hat trick was Erik Maas, while Ben Stewart finished with a goal and three assists.

Ringette offers free try Ringette B.C. and the New West-Burnaby Ringette Association are hosting a free try-it session on Saturday, 3:15 p.m. at Moody Park Arena.

Open to boys and girls between the ages of four and 14, including beginner skaters, the organizers only ask that participants bring gloves, warm clothes and a water bottle. Other equipment is supplied.

Continued from page 33 Van Roekel helped the Langley Christian Secondary squad finish third at last spring’s 2-A provincials. A talented distributor, Van Roekel was named the Fraser Valley tourney MVP as well as a provincial all-star.

Beauchamp believes the guard from Langley will make the step to collegiate sports smoothly.

“We’re pretty excited to have (Van Roekel) join our program,” he stated. “She brings good size and awareness from her position at point and off-guard, and I’m expecting her to step right in.”

Gallego has played university ball before, with brief stints both for the Winnipeg Wesmen and University of Northern B.C. over the past two years but getting limited floor time. Douglas’ coach feels the Arizona product can lead the play when she’s on the court. “(Gallego) red shirted at (UNBC), and what we’ve seen so far in practice is a pretty dynamic point guard who can help us in the area of ball handling.”

A key player with the Burnaby Central Wildcats, Huynh has

dominated the high school level with her shooting prowess, especially from the three-point range, and indelible desire to push the play.

Douglas’ coach expects her to be a pacesetter when it comes to ball handling duties.

“She makes up for a lack of size with her determination and shooting awareness.”

The Royals also inked Sarah Sloan, a two-way player from Holy Cross, Chantelle Zinger of Maple Ridge and Kenya Reid from Kamloops.

The team will continue to hold regular practices for the upcoming season, which officially won’t tip off until November.

Coach Beauchamp has lined up a slate of exhibition tests, include a trip to the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology for a tournament in early October.

The route to next year’s Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s national tourney won’t be easy, but with perennial B.C. power Vancouver Island hosting, B.C. will have an additional berth.
