You pretty much have to forget about using when you have somebody in a bubble chasing you.

Residents complaints about pile driving noise has sparked a discussion about future projects and best practices across the region

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

City council members have heard the noise themselves, and they’re also hearing residents’ concerns about the noise.

The noise is coming from new construction sites which require major pile driving in the downtown area.

While pile driving is a “necessary part of development,”Mayor Jonathan Cote said, because of the nature of pile driving perhaps the city should review bylaws that allow work to begin at 7 a.m. Monday to Saturday.

“I think the reality that anyone living in close proximity to the two major projects going on right now will attest that piling is a little bit different type of noise than your regular construction noise and should maybe have a different criteria,” he said at Monday night’s council meeting. “My intent is not to limit or stop this because it’s something that is absolutely necessary in construction, but I’d like to have a look to see what some other communities are doing.”

Pile driving is currently taking place at 1000 Quayside Dr. and at a site at the corner of 10th Street and Carnarvon Street.

“Quite honestly, when you are down there it is pretty bad. I think living with that would be quite challenging,” said Coun. Mary Trentadue, who has spoken with officials in other cities about pile driving. “There are other ways of doing piling. It may be somewhat more expensive, but it doesn’t impact the community as much. I think it’s fair to ask that of developers going forward on future projects.”

Trentadue also said the city should be Continued on page 4

No three-legged races at this event

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

There wasn’t a potato sack or three-legged race to be seen at the Last Door Recovery Society’s annual sports day in Moody Park, but folks were still having a ball.

Instead, Saturday’s event featured challenging activities like ancient war games, capture the flag, human foosball, a Tough Mudder styled obstacle course,

volleyball, flag football and bubble ball.

“We had a lot of fun,” said Giuseppe Ganci of the Last Door Recovery Society. “It’s our sports day.We team up with Westminster House, Last Door and a lot of the families who participate in our family program.We create teams.There (were) 20 teams with about 15 people on each team. It’s a fullon challenging sports day – no three-legged races. It’s like full

on.”

Some people attending the sports day were a week clean, while other participants had been clean and sober for years.

“It’s one of those things to try and get people into a healthy environment and get them active again,” Ganci said. “Some of these people haven’t moved much in a really long time. It’s getting them active again, building new memories, having their families show up and it has

BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY

It’s back to school for kids on Tuesday, September 6! The City, in partnership with NWPD and ICBC, would like to remind road users to be aware of children on the roads and to SLOW DOWN in case of unpredictable behaviour. Help your kids be safe pedestrians by teaching them to look both ways before crossing the road, to make eye contact with drivers whenever possible, and to unplug from devices when they are walking. To promote safe driving, the NWPD will be engaging in enforcement and education activities around schools as the new terms starts. In addition, the City has been busy over the summer, refreshing road markings and reviewing signage around school zones and throughout the city.

And with the new Fraser River Middle School opening, the City and SD40 would like to remind the community that the speed limit in all school zones is 30 km p/h. The student drop-off and pick-up zone for the new school is on Queens Avenue. For information on a proposed school bus service, visit www. fraserriverpac.ca Finally, instead of driving your kids to school, consider walking, biking and/or taking public transit to give them the benefit of arriving more alert and ready to learn.

HeliJet barred from landing on RCH pad Air ambulance service is being rerouted to Pitt Meadows or Langley while it looks for a new site Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

B.C.’s air ambulance service provider is scouting out open spaces near Royal Columbian Hospital for its helicopters to land after being barred from landing directly on the New Westminster hospital’s helipad.

On Aug. 12,Transport Canada barred Helijet from landing at seven different hospitals because it found Helijet’s Sikorsky S76 helicopters don’t meet all the

standards for landing on certain helipads.

A temporary Transport Canada exemption Friday restored air ambulance service to five of those centres, but flights bound to RCH and Surrey Memorial are still being rerouted to Pitt Meadows or Langley regional airports and patients delivered to those hospitals via ground ambulance.

The reason for the ongoing restriction is that RCH and Surrey Memorial have smaller helipads than the

other hospitals, according to Linda Lupini, executive vice-president of B.C. Emergency Health Services.

“The reason is that when the helicopter is over the helipad, they’re not able, in the current situation, because of the size of the helipad, to see the perimeter of the helipad,” Lupini told the Record.

Helijet is requesting an exemption from Transport Canada, she said, arguing the company has been flying successfully in and out

of the RCH heliport for years.

Another option for restoring service at Royal Columbian could include Helijet putting smaller aircraft into service.

In the meantime, officials are looking into open spaces near the hospital as a possible short-term fix.

“We have looked at, with Helijet, some of the land around Royal Columbian, and there are some spots that could lend themselves to temporary helipads while

this is getting resolved and then we could land much closer to Royal Columbian,” Lupini said.

She couldn’t specify which areas were under consideration but said helicopters could be landing at a temporary helipad near RCH in a matter of weeks if that’s an option officials pursue.

So far, three air ambulance patients have been diverted to Pitt Meadows Regional Airport and driven to RCH via ground ambu-

lance, tacking on 15 to 21 minutes of travel time, according to Lupini.

“The most important time frame is really getting to the patient in the first place, and we’re still able to do that, and we’re able to do that with our most highly trained paramedics,” Lupini said. “That’s on the positive side, but, at the end of the day, we can’t have this situation continue much longer.”

City Recovery Day festival happening next weekend Continued from page 1 of those things where addicts get stuck about thinking and using – How am I going to use again? How am I going to get money? And you are constantly in that grind.When you have an event like this, it takes your mind off of that. It’s a little bit of a reprieve – like, I am a normal person.”

There’s won’t be any bubble balls at the upcoming Recovery Day B.C. street festival in uptown New West – but there will be plenty of fun and information.The Sept. 10 event features a family/kids’ zone, a street fair with more than 50 vendors and service pro-

“There are a lot of services in B.C. B.C. is one of the best provinces in Canada to offer addiction services,” Ganci said. “On Saturday, Sept. 10, it is going to be showcased.”

Ganci said the festival has grown bigger than organizers had ever expected and they’re thrilled that Bif Naked will be taking to the stage.

“We want recovery allies to come,” Ganci said.

“It’s also for those who have lost loved ones to visit a memorial section.We have a memorial candle that’s lit and people can leave messages of hope.We also want people to come into the wellness centre to learn about recovery services and learn about what they can do to help stop this epidemic.”

Pile driving raises questions Continued from page 1 considering whether six days a week is reasonable for pile driving.

“It doesn’t seem reasonable to me. It may very likely extend the length of a project, but for livability, I think that’s really a challenge,” she said. “I would look forward to a report back from staff on how we might adjust this going forward.”

Cote said the developers doing pile driving in downtown New West have voluntarily moved back the time their crews begin pile driv-

ing.

“We are probably six or seven weeks away from one of the major projects finishing the piling,” he said.

“Really my intent of bringing this forward is for future projects and to look to see what best practices are across the region.”

Along with noise issues, Coun. Patrick Johnstone said he’d like the staff report to consider the various types of technology that exist for piling.

Remember: Drummer Cecilia Point of the Musqueam band performs the paddle song during a demonstration at New Westminster Secondary School on Saturday. The demonstration was organized by the Canadians for Reconciliation Society, a Chinese Christian-based society that works to promote reconciliation with Canada’s indigenous peoples and to raise awareness of the histories of minority communities in B.C. Society CEO Bill Chu invited people to the New West high school to mark the names of the people who were buried in the Douglas Road Cemetery on what is now the NWSS site between 1860 and 1920. The society is asking the government to reconsider building the replacement secondary school on the existing site, alleging construction would be disrespectful to the former burial grounds. New Westminster school district superintendent Pat Duncan, however, is adamant nothing will be built over any known or suspected burial grounds. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

But Labour Day, is, after all, all about work.Work that, in many cases, deserves to be recognized with more pay, better health and safety protections, job security and, last but not least, respect.

Unions have earned their

chops after countless years of fighting for workers’ rights.

Labour activists have lost their lives, been vilified for their beliefs and sacrificed family life to fight the good fight.

And, to be sure, some folks recognize they owe a lot to unions for better working conditions.

Even if you aren’t a member of a union, you have benefited from unions.

Does anyone think employers would be plumping up the pension fund or adding dental care to nonunion employee packages if it weren’t for a marketplace that included better paid union workers? The simple threat or vague rumour of having a union certify a workplace is sometimes all that’s needed to get wages increased.

But times are changing, and we question if workers

Unions have earned their chops will be able to avoid clawbacks.With a dwindling union membership in B.C., and more global opportunities for employers, union members are facing a very challenging time.

Unions are much more reluctant to pull the trigger and go on strike nowadays. Barring public sector unions, any union which hits the bricks in today’s economy might risk seeing their workplace simply move to another country.

Unions are being forced to amalgamate with other unions to survive and, like other organizations, make cuts to services for their members.

Charges of all-powerful unions pulling the strings on politicians ring a lot less true nowadays. It’s a lot harder to throw your weight around when you’re losing it. But it is still true that there is strength in numbers and power in unity.

Unions still offer the only true voice for workers in an economy that seems hell bent on treating workers as disposable commodities.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

PNE is worth supporting

When it comes to job creation, governments at all levels love to point to various infrastructure projects that cost billions of dollars and do indeed create a lot of jobs.

But there’s an annual event inVancouver that may not be viewed as a job creation vehicle, even though it has created hundreds of thousands of jobs over time and has injected a huge amount of money into the local economy.

I’m referring, of course, to the Pacific National Exhibition and its annual fair, which is currently underway.

I’ve written before about the importance of the PNE and how it is a tradition that we must hang onto, not simply because it’s a fun entertainment forum, but also because of its importance to the economy and because it creates a sense of community we are in danger of losing.

The fact the annual fair has lasted this long is impressive and, in some ways, surprising. After all, it is a bit of an anachronism, a throwback to an era where life was enjoyed at a more leisurely pace.

But the average attendance over the past 10 years has hovered around 800,000 people (it fell off significantly last year, largely due to lousy weather), which speaks to its popularity.

The economic numbers are impressive: about 3,600 direct employees (this number swells to more than 9,000 when you include exhibitors and concession-

aires). And the fair generates about $58 million in economic activity and contributes about $25 million in taxes.

But perhaps the PNE’s biggest economic impact is on young people. About 2,000 of those 3,600 employees are youth, and they are paid comparatively well (they also make more money working the fair than they do working regular jobs because many work longer days and compile a nice pile of cash to start the school year).

At some point, however, the PNE’s future may end up in the hands of government. It is the only major fair in North America that does not receive a government subsidy, and one has to wonder whether that may have to be revisited.

Changing weather patterns has the PNE management considering changing the fair’s dates.This is potentially problematic, as any change could impact other local fairs, particularly ones with agricultural components. But the fact changing the date is even being considered shows the serious challenges the PNE faces. It would be irresponsible for any government to let this grand institution falter in any way.

In the meantime, support one of the more fun, and regular, job creation projects in B.C. It’s been going strong for more than 100 years, so go visit the fair!

Does this ring a bell?

City council called for the return the 91-year-old B.C. Penitentiary “call-in bell” in November after the artifact vanished into the Public Works Canada storage vaults during the demolition of the historic jail.The bell, made of two tons of solid brass, had been used to announce safe lockup and sometimes as an alarm. It was finally silenced in 1969. Public Works officials said they were working on finding the bell.

Kudos to city for handling of Pattullo Bridge closures

Pattullo work done ahead of schedule

Dear Editor The city did a good job of managing traffic disruptions during the recent weekend closures of the Pattullo Bridge. I’d especially like to commend the city’s traffic staff for responding well to the very heavy pressure of southbound traffic that developed on 20th Street, crossing through town from Burnaby in order to get onto the Queensborough Bridge.

With southbound traffic backed This is the up well into kind of flexible, Burnaby, the intersection solution20th Street oriented civic at and Eighth administration Avenue was that we like to becoming gridlocked. see.

Worse still, plenty of southbound motorists were disregarding the pedestrian-controlled traffic light at Seventh Avenue, making the crosswalk unsafe for people walking to and from the 22nd Street SkyTrain station.

The city dealt with this by hiring flag persons to control both intersections over peak hours during the latter two weekend bridge closures.

That solution probably wasn’t cheap, but it worked. This is the kind of flexible, solutionoriented civic administration that we like to see.

Richard Berrow, by email

Why are city’s beer drinkers treated as second-class citizens?

Dear Editor I’m wondering why the B.C. Liquor Stores treat the New West market as second-class.

Neither of the two government outlets carry my beer of choice in six-pack cans (Phillips Blue Buck, if you’re able to print this), but this beer can be found in every Vancouver outlet that I have gone to. Yesterday, I went to the government liquor store at the mall at Royal and Columbia, having decided to get a six-pack of another, more common beer. But, lo and behold, they didn’t carry this beer in six-pack cans either.

I asked the clerk why their stock of six-pack cans was so deficient, and he told me that they focus on 12-packs rather than six-packs, because they make more on the larger size.

Strange, as New West seems to have the only outlets where this factor is a priority.

I then drove to the B.C. Liquor Store at Highgate in Burnaby (Kingsway and Edmonds), and bought a six-pack of cans of the beer I initially wanted (Phillips Blue Buck). Burnaby, it seems, is a step up from New West, at least in the eyes of B.C. Liquor Stores.

Peter Leblanc Can they move the workers to the New West Skytrain station to finish the in-bound entrance. It was due to be done in Spring and they missed that deadline.

Catherine Chiappetta Can they send consultants to Montreal so that they can learn how to wrap up a project within 1 year?

Don Swindells Well now that’s it’s safe for four lanes perhaps they could paint it and call it a day!

Lina Plata It would be great if trucks were not allowed Trish Webster Back to our regular gridlock.

Bus pass changes hit hard, resident says Paul Well, the issue has always and continues to be the rates, not the bus pass. The province’s announcement of the change to the bus pass was conveyed in a horrible way and caused a lot of concern for PWD and their families.

However, the fact is that the bus pass is still available to anyone who wants it, and now the transportation allowance is in place for those 30,000 + that never had it prior and had to cover their own transportation costs out of the PWD benefits, lets not forget about them.

Stating that the bus pass now costs $624 / year is true, but the increased costs for that has been added to the PWD benefits as well as the elimination of the $45 annual administration fee.

So the real result is an approximate increase to the PWD benefit of $25 and again, the implementation of the transportation allowance for those 30,000 that never had any support prior.

Personally, I feel that the ability to either take a monthly bus pass or the $52, and the ability to switch monthly if wanted, is better than the previous system.

We can focus on the bus pass and how poorly the messaging was conveyed and say that it is not fair that PWD have to make a choice between taking the bus pass or the $52 or we can focus on the real issue, the rates.

More controversy over graves at NWSS site NewCity Dude 2 Sounds like the City is doing the due diligence necessary.

I don’t know what Chu’s complaining about but he should do more listening than talking. Ground penetrating radar? WOW! That’s above and beyond being reasonable. Good job, everybody!

ASK A DENTIST

Q A

With so many options for toothpaste how do I choose one?

Since there is no “silver bullet” toothpaste, the best option for you will depend on the specific needs of your mouth. Though, as a general rule the most important ingredient of any toothpaste is fluoride DR. LOVELY for cavity control. If you choose a toothpaste without fluoride for personal reasons, be aware that more frequent brushing and flossing might be needed to prevent cavities. Beyond fluoride, a good place to start your search is by asking your dentist what areas of your mouth could use improvement. For instance, if you have a lot of plaque build-up then a toothpaste aimed at tartar removal and prevention is probably best for you. Some other useful toothpaste options include anti-sensitivity, tooth whitening, and gum care ingredients to name a few. It is also wise to choose a toothpaste that has received the Canadian Dental Association seal of approval. Any toothpaste that has received this approval is safe to use and will help you keep your teeth their healthiest.

ASK A FITNESS INSTRUCTOR

Q

What resistance exercises are most effective if I want to lose weight but not bulk up, just maintain mymuscle?

A

Your best bets for weight loss are compound exercises that simultaneously work more than one group of muscles and more than one joint at a time. Don’t waste your time with biceps curls or seated calf raises — working the larger muscles in your body will burn more calories. Try lunges and dumbbell squats to work most of your lower body and seated rowing or dumbbell chest presses for your upper body. If you’re ready for an even bigger challenge, try some full body exercises like Burpees and Daisy Chains — but be advised — while these exercises are great calorie burners, they’re not for beginners. You can work your way up to them.

ASK A LAWYER

M

y business is about helping people restore their health, reduce or eliminate pain and move them along their wellness journey. For some people, pain keeps them awake at night. They’ve forgotten what it feels like not to have pain—all they want is the pain to stop so life can resume.

My goal is to help them reach their desired health objectives through the use of acupuncture and other techniques.

The life force that flows through everybody can be affected by numerous factors; diet, emotions and dayto-day living. This energy is our life force, its our spirit; it’s what makes our heart pound. And it’s that key ingredient to life that we lose when we die. Acupuncture is all about moving the energy, opening blockages and rebalancing the body to regain health and wellness.

Everyday life can literally disrupt our energy flow; the stress of meeting deadlines, being stuck in traffic, a poor diet, and a lack of exercise can all have adverse effects on our energy flow and this will eventually effect our well-being. People in the workforce find themselves out of balance due to workplace expectations and environmental factors.

Just think of the flow of energy like the circulation of blood. If you have a lack of energy flow to a part of the body, you’re going to have a reduction in the function of that part of the body; which can eventually lead to more imbalance and possibly chronic disease. Acupuncture puts that energy imbalance back into alignment.

This realignment can have powerful holistic effects; it can boost immune system function, eliminate pain and tension, plus so much more. Daily activities can be enjoyable again.

The solution is to bring back balance in all aspects of life including exercise, healthy eating, work, fun, and rest. Acupuncture can help you in this process.

My job is to restore balance - and then the body takes over and does the healing. The body is programmed for health and not sickness.

Acupuncture is covered by Extended Health Care.

Oh, the pain and stiffness of fibromyalgia, can acupuncture help?

An estimated 3 – 6 % of the population suffers from fibromyalgia, which causes widespread pain, fatigue, and anxiety. For those living with it, it can be a life-altering condition, leaving them unable to enjoy activities DOREEN HILL others take for granted. Acupuncture provides a safe method that has been shown to greatly reduce symptoms.

Acupuncture is used for relief of many ailments, mostly pain.

Tiny needles correct the energy imbalance resulting in pain relief. A study of 18,000 patients concluded that in conditions such as chronic headache or arthritis, acupuncture is nearly twice as effective as traditionally prescribed drugs. Benefits of acupuncture are: Reduced Pain, Relaxation, Improved Sleep and Boosted Immune System to name a few.

What are Immediate Dentures?

When complete extractions of your remaining teeth become unavoidable, an immediate denture is a solution. This process will help you avoid the embarrassment of being without teeth. Immediate Dentures are made prior to the extractions and are inserted immePATRICK MARCELO R.D. diately after the removal of all teeth. The denturist takes measurements, impressions and models of the patient’s jaws during a preliminary visit. During the healing process, the oral tissue in your mouth (gum and bone) will shrink to a much smaller size due to the closing of the tooth sockets. Temporary liners or tissue conditioners may be required to ensure a comfortable fit. Regular check-ups are required as the healing of the bone takes six months to one year. After one year, the immediate denture will require reline or rebase to change the fitting surface and changes.

News that the Pattullo Bridge was reopening to full capacity had some New West residents breathing a sigh of relief, while others expressed disappointed that more commuter traffic could soon be returning to the Royal City.

“I think it will take a period of a week or so before traffic reverts back to the pre-construction level,” said Eugene Wat, the city’s manager of infrastructure planning. “Drivers are gradually adjusting to the resurfaced four-lane Pattullo Bridge.

Charter bus will roll ahead Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

West End students destined for the new middle school next week have the option of taking a bus thanks to some dedicated parents.

Forty-six students were registered, as of Aug. 31, for the charter service, which was organized by Krista Burrows and Karla Gronsdahl.While that’s eight fewer than the pair had hoped for, they’ve decided to move ahead with the private bus starting Wednesday, Sept. 7.

But on Monday, city council approved a onetime grant of $5,000 to help parents pay for a private bus service for Fraser River Middle School for the 2016/17 school year.The funds will come out of the city’s special projects fund.

Burrows, who only learned about the city’s grant Wednesday morning, said they’ll use the money to keep the cost of the service to $75 a month for those who’ve registered so far. If there’s any cash leftover, they might put it towards reducing the costs even more.

At $229.95 per day for the bus rental, organizers had enough funds to run the bus until Dec. 13 without the extra help from the

More from council:

While council approved a $5,000 grant for the bus service, Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said it wouldn’t be necessary if the middle school’s location hadn’t been “a political football” during an election campaign. Instead of the site at Eighth Street and Royal Av-

city.With the city money, the date could be extended, depending on how many more students sign up next week, Burrows said.

She hopes by then word of mouth will work its magic, and more parents will sign up for the service, so it can continue past the December deadline. It’s open to any West End students in grades 6 to 8 attending Fraser River Middle School.

Students headed to school will be picked up from Connaught Heights, Lord Tweedsmuir and Lord Kelvin elementary schools and dropped back off at the end of the day.The idea of a bus service was first floated in the community in May when some parents raised concerns about their kids having to walk more than four kilometres along busy streets to get to the new middle school at Queens Avenue and Eighth Street.

Parents can sign their kids up online.There is a $375 fee due at the time of registration. More information on the service, including when and where parents can pick up the tags students need to ride the bus, is expected within the next week. Go to www.fraserriverpac.ca for details.

The next exhibition at New Media Gallery, WITNESS, explores life in a world of surveillance systems and vision technologies. It’s set to open on Thursday, Sept. 8, with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m., and the exhibition runs Sept. 9 to Nov. 6.

… a cross between a nightmare visit to the dentist and the newest Apple product

“WITNESS explores the interplays between the perceiving machine, the world that is perceived by the machine and we who are both perceiving and perceived bodies,” a press release explains. “The works question how surveillance systems and vision technol-

ogies have reconfigured notions of embodiment, public space and the technologies themselves.”

The works in the show are varied.

Do robotic cats dream of electric fish?, a work by France Cadet of France, features a robotic cat watching Nemo the fish on a screen, in which the act of watching becomes a critique on the act of watching.

A truly magical moment,

by Canadian Adam Basanta, has two iPhones facing each other on angled selfie sticks.When FaceTime connects them, the sculpture begins to spin while romantic music plays in the background, in a modern exploration of the classic “two lovers on the dance floor” movie moment.

Surface Tension, by Canadian artist Rafael LozanoHemmer, features a large eye that follows the visitor’s every movement.

Bjorn Schulke of Germany offers up Vision Machine #3, described as “a cross between a nightmare visit to the dentist and the newest Apple product.”

The Agency at the End of Civilization, by U.K. artist

All-seeing: Surface Tension, by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, is part of the new WITNESS exhibition at New Media Gallery. An opening reception for the exhibition is set for Thursday, Sept. 8 from 7 to 9 p.m. – it’s free, and everyone is welcome. The exhibition will run at the gallery, in Anvil Centre, until Nov. 6.

CENTURY HOUSE TAKES TO THE WATER Kudos to the first-ever Century House dragon boat team that competed in the Steveston Regatta on Aug. 20.

Judi Clark, an experienced paddler and certified coach, said team members had been practising weekly since May and were ready to race.

“And race they did! They didn’t come home with medals, but they took 30 seconds off their 500-metre practice times, an amazing achievement,” she said in an email to the Record.

“Although the team competed against mixed teams, this year’s Century House ‘racing team’ were women paddlers only and they were strong contenders for a medal.”

If you’d like to try it out – the team is open to new members, men and women aged 55 and up – leave your name with the folks at the front desk at Century House.

Unusual or Increased Tooth Sensitivity?

Visit Your Dentist Regularly

When you clench and/or grind, your teeth exert a huge amount of pressure on your teeth. Prolonged bruxism can lead to cracked, chipped, broken or loose teeth, or damage to the temporomandibular joint of the jaws. Through regular dental visits, your dentist will monitor your mouth including any irregular wear on the surfaces of your teeth. This can help to diagnose bruxism early, and limit any damage to your mouth.

QUESTIONS FOR TED USHER Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

1

SO WHAT DID YOU DO BEFORE YOU BECAME A VOLUNTEER AT HONOUR HOUSE? I’m a retired police officer from New Westminster, and I’m also retired from the military reserve. I worked with the cadet program for 30-some-odd-years.

2

WHY DID YOU START VOLUNTEERING WITH HONOUR HOUSE? Well, I had known about the idea of Honour House when it first got talked about back in probably 2010 – 2009, 2010 – when they were looking for a place and raising money. At

… it’s a really nice place with a lot of really nice people that volunteer there

that time, I thought about getting involved but because of my travelling, I was living down in Utah in the U.S. for a while – I just wasn’t really nearby here to get involved, so I didn’t. Once … my girlfriend and I became residents back in New Westminster and I started working back here, and I established myself and I thought, after I left the army cadet program I wanted some-

thing to do, and Honour House, I knew about it. I knew what had evolved and thought that it would be the perfect for me to volunteer. So that’s how I ended up there.

3

HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND VOLUNTEERING? I would say probably in the neighbourhood of 15 hours a month, maybe. It varies because I do work fulltime, so my hours are usually sometimes in the evening and on the weekends mainly.

4

WHAT DO YOU DO AS A VOLUNTEER? Well, for about a year I was the volunteer coordinator, so I actually hired the volunteers – interviewed them, coordinated a lot of the volunteer activities.

And then I just thought it was time to pass the reins on to somebody else, so I gave that up earlier this year, and now I do a multitude of things.

I greet guests, I meet them there and show them the facilities, and then I also do general cleaning, yard work, and I’m also kind of the cook when it comes to some of our volunteer activities where we have a gathering or a barbecue – I’m usually the one who does the cooking.

5

WHAT’S THE BEST PART ABOUT VOLUNTEERING AT HONOUR HOUSE? Well, in this case I think

Be the first to know it’s the whole idea of giving back to the people that I served with.

Helping both police, fire, ambulance, all these first responders and people from the military that I’ve served with and helping them out.

Helping to give them a place where they can come and stay and feel comfortable – so that whole giving back idea is what’s good, and it’s a really nice place with a lot of really nice people that volunteer there and it has a really good atmosphere.

2016 Varsity Preview

VARSITY

Following the best season in the history of the program in 2015, the 2016 Hyacks have their sights firmly set on competing for a AAA Provincial Championship.

The offensive backfield will feature the threeheaded monster of Trew Dancey, Sammy Sidhu and Josh Olango. Dancey was the team’s leading scorer in 2016, highlighted by a record-setting 5 TD performance against Notre Dame. Sidhu was the MVP of the JV Provincial Championship last season. It should be the best backfield to play at New West since 2009.

The receiving corp boasts at least 6 players who could contribute, including speedster Ben Tjernagel and 6’3” Shane Belsher. The QB battle features sophomore Kinsale Philip

and senior Matthew Thind, with Lucas Sabau being a darkhorse. Senior center Sarban Sidhu will anchor the offensive line, he was named top lineman at the UBC camp in August and Senior Bowl in March.

Defensively, the Hyacks will have a deep rotation along the line, including the likes of Yanni Angelopoulos, Isaiah James, Anthony Dillman and newcomer Prento Durigon. The linebacker corps will be led by senior Connor Pattison, with Sidhu, Dancey, Olango and Sabau having significant roles there also. The secondary is shaping up as a deep group also, led by senior Liam McKay, Severio Asaba, gr 10 Broxx Comia and newcomer Francis Federipe.

As a JVs this group was 10-1 in 2014, and following the JV championship in 2015, this edition of the Hyacks is used to winning. They now know what it looks like, and are ready to take the next step.

In the Community

As committed as the NWSS Hyack football program is on the field, it is equally committed to giving back to the community here in New Westminster. Since resurrecting the football program in 2003, all high school players have been required to volunteer at least 3 days annually. Activities include: * International Reading Day * Anti-Bullying Day * Hyack Festival * Easter in the Park & Canada Day * Quayside Festival * Columbia StrEAT Food Truck Fest

* Sapperton Days * Uptown Live * Various environmental clean-up projects * Sponsor underprivileged families at Christmas * Various corporate events and many more…

In the process the NWSS Hyack Football program was named the Hyack Festival Association Community Service Group of the Year in 2006 and has also received multiple City of New Westminster Youth Group Awards.

Hyack Jordan Earle received the 2016 Community Service Award, Azaad Lidder was named the 2008 Youth Volunteer of the Year, and in 2012 Coach Lalji was named Citizen of the Year.

The citizens of New Westminster have always supported the football program whole heartedly and we believe teaching social responsibility by giving back to the community is part of the foundation.

DAY OPINION

Just think about this

By Irene Lanzinger

B.C. Federation of Labour

As we celebrate the holiday – Labour Day – that honours the contributions working people make every day to our economy and our communities, I’m asking all British Columbians to take a moment to think about this.

Imagine you work fulltime and support yourself or your family on less than $20,000 a year in Canada’s most expensive province.

Imagine, how would you put food on the table or meet the rent? Make a car payment or the fare for public transportation? Pay for school fees or a visit to the dentist for your son or daughter?

While it’s hard to imagine for most British Columbians, it’s a reality for far too many people in our province who work hard every day but earn less that $15 an hour.

Thanks to Premier Christy Clark and her govern-

ment, B.C.’s $10.45 per hour minimum wage is the lowest in Canada. And their policies, which foster a lowwage economy means nearly 500,000 workers earn less than poverty level wages.

Some 60 per cent are women. Four out of five work for companies with more than 20 employees.

Eighty per cent are adults.

And one in seven poverty wage earners holds a university degree.

That’s why the B.C. Federation of Labour and our affiliate unions are working closely with community groups to push for a $15 per hour minimum wage.

Our Fightfor15BC.ca campaign is a concrete solution to improve living standards for hundreds of thousands of workers and their families, and to address the widening gap between rich and poor that’s at the root of our festering economic inequality crisis.

The plight of low-wage workers and the abject failure of the Clark govern-

ment to tackle poverty and growing inequality are symbolic of what’s wrong with our province. It defines the choices voters can make in next May’s election.

We live in an incredibly wealthy province.

But when it comes to how that wealth is shared, we are a deeply unequal society where a small group controls most of the wealth.

For hard-working people and our families, it’s tougher to get ahead.

Unless we do something fast and chart a different course, our province is going to be a place where only the rich can live.

I remain incredibly optimistic that we can do better here in B.C. Change is possible.There’s a lot that can be done.

Together, we can choose a B.C. where we all have the chance for a better life – and where our kids can build their future.

Chartered in 1966, the New Westminster and District Labour Council has been interviewing and endorsing candidates in civic elections since the late 1960s.While the Canadian Labour Congress tackles federal issues and the Federation of Labour takes care of provincial issues, the labour council’s responsibility is to work with local governments and the communities in which they’re located.

“That doesn’t mean we don’t get involved in provincial or federal politics, in fact quite the contrary.

However, if a matter comes up that is related to those two levels of government, a program or action is initiated by the two other cen-

The New Westminster and District Labour Council has been following the advice that Tommy Douglas offered the organization five decades ago.

One of more than 130 labour councils charted by the Canadian Labour Congress across the country, the New Westminster and District Labour Council is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Douglas was the guest speaker at the organization’s inaugural meeting in 1966.

“He was urging members to be engaged in the political life of their community, which I think really sums up our history,” said Carolyn Rice, secretary-treasurer. “Our council, of any labour council in the country, not just the province, has a long history, and one of the

Our work is largely to make sure that our local governments and our school boards are representing the needs of people and families ... trals,” Rice said. “Our work is largely to make sure that our local governments and our school boards are representing the needs people and families, not just unions, but people and families.”

While the civic endorsements have drawn the ire of critics in some communities, it’s been something the New Westminster and District Labour Council has been doing for decades.

“It was the first full year of our council – ’67 or ’68, I think we endorsed one or two candidates in New Westminster,” Rice said. “It

just grew from there.”

Currently, about 100 local unions – and more than 56,000 workers – are members of the New Westminster and District Labour Council.The labour council recently surveyed its membership about a number of issues, including the endorsements, to find out whether they support the program, know about the program and participate in local elections.

“We found out that a very high percentage of our members are voting,” Rice said. “People understand why they should vote and

why electing good local governments is important.”

The New Westminster and District Labour Council covers a region that includes New Westminster, Burnaby, Port Moody, Belcarra, Anmore, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, Delta, Surrey,White Rock, Langley City and Langley Township.

It addresses issues affecting workers across Canada and tackles a variety of programs including opposing the privatization of health care, supporting a $10-aday child care program, advocating for an increase to B.C.’s minimum wage, a living wage and changes to the regulations to protect workers.

The labour council also offers educational courses for its members and hosts community events such as the annual Day of Mourning, which commemorates

the lives of workers who have been killed or injured on the job and encourages action that prevents workplace deaths, injuries and accidents.This year’s event was held at Westminster Pier Park.

The New Westminster and District Labour Council will be returning to its roots this fall to celebrate its golden anniversary.

“We have an event planned at the Anvil Centre in New Westminster.We are going back to where we were born, if you like,” Rice said. “On that day in 1966, the Port Mann Bridge had only been opened one year and the density of the membership that belonged to the labour council was right in and around that New Westminster area.”

Fighting for child care

$10-a-day child care campaign hopes to help families have better lives in British Columbia

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@newwestrecord.ca

As any parent with a little one knows, daycare isn’t cheap. And for those just scraping by in the workforce, the cost of early child care can be downright crippling.

That’s why a number of unions and organizations have signed on to support the $10-a-day child care plan being proposed by the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of B.C. Essentially, the $10-a-day plan is calling for fees down to $10 a day for full-time care, $7 a day for part-time care and no fee for families with annual incomes under $40,000.

According to the website $10aday.ca, all children, including those with extra

support needs, will be welcome, and existing childcare services will be invited into the new system.

The coalition believes the plan will make a real difference for all families and is the single biggest step in reducing poverty for families with young children.

Sharon Gregson, a spokesperson with the coalition behind the plan, suggested there is a huge connection between access to quality, affordable child care and impact on the workforce.

She said, from one perspective, the people who work in early childhood education can earn a decent wage with benefits and make a career out of it, and secondly, she suggested when parents and mothers re-enter the workforce after having children, it’s good for

the economy.

“For families with young children, the child-care crisis in (B.C.) is at least as bad as the housing crisis,” Gregson told the Record.

The B.C. Federation of Labour, which has more than 500,000 members in the province, is one of the groups supporting to daycare plan.

Irene Lanzinger, the president of the B.C. Federation of Labour, explained the organization supported the plan because working families need help.

“There are many people working for low wages, and child care is extremely expensive,” she said. “Having accessible, affordable universal child care would really help working people in the province who are Continued on page 34

Lanzinger also argued it is important for children to have stability, adding working families are moving kids around as they struggle to find child care.

The head of the union noted the comprehen-

sive proposal also calls for proper training and pay for childcare workers. Lanzinger said child-care workers need support, and often have low wages to do the important job of helping raise children.

The $10-a-day plan isn’t particularly new.The coali-

tion has been pushing the plan for several years.

But with the provincial election looming, Lanzinger is hoping the political parties will have something to say on child care.

OPINION

From one union to another B.C. Nurses’ Union leaders need to ‘walk the talk’

By David Black

Now picture this, because it’s every trade unionist’s nightmare: after months of fruitless discussion, the employer locks out the staff.

An hour later, they ask staff to return to work under an employer-imposed contract that guts benefits and other terms of employment.

And when staff refuses to gut their contact the employer puts a six-foot wall around the workplace to keep staff out.

If the locked-out staff were nurses, you can almost hear the howling from B.C. Nurses’ Union leaders.

Press releases would fly, picket lines would go up and BCNU President Gayle Duteil would bellow with outrage at this despicable act by employers.

But the tawdry part of this situation is that Duteil and her governing council are the employer. And, on

July 22, they allowed their negotiators to use anti-union tactics that they regularly condemn on their own employees. Picket lines did go up, and staff was forced on strike.

And what’s worse is that the reason the dispute began was because of the heavy-handed, concessionary negotiation tactics of the BCNU leadership, who are trying to roll back medical and family obligation leave for their office staff. Pretty rich for an organization that has a “no concessions” policy when it comes to bargaining for their own members.

So how did BCNU leaders become so confused that they used Ikea-style anti-union tactics to lock out their own employees and provoke a strike? The answer to those questions hasn’t been discovered yet, but in time it will be.

What we do know is,

when a union’s leaders repeatedly violate the principles they claim to value, it’s only a matter of time before their members call on them to correct the situation.

If BCNU leaders don’t “walk the talk” on these values, the public won’t trust them to advocate for nurses and better public health care. It undermines their own position at the bargaining table – it’s too easy for employers to say, “Well, you did it to your staff.”

No one trusts leaders who say one thing and do the opposite. And the public desperately needs to hear the voice of principled nurses because everyone cares about better health care.

A SALUTE TO LABOUR UNIONS

MLA led the fight for farm workers’ rights Tereza Verenca

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

When Raj Chouhan landed on Canadian soil in 1973, he never imagined he’d become the founding president of the Canadian Farmworkers’ Union and at the forefront of a social movement that would bring farm workers under the Employment Standards Act. It all started with an ad in a newspaper that advertised the need for workers at a Fraser Valley farm.

The then-20-something had seen it and decided to check out the farm. But when he got there, he was shocked by what he found.

“There was no running water, no toilets, absolutely no facilities,” Chouhan, the now-Burnaby-Edmonds MLA, told the Record. “I was expecting, in a country like Canada, that there would be something better than that.”

Some workers lived onsite in converted cattle barns and were squished in like

sardines, with six people to a cubicle, he recalled, adding a good chunk of the little money they did make would go to the contract labourer for rent. Meanwhile, workers were constantly exposed to toxic pesticides and unguarded machinery, and many were forced to bring their children to work because they couldn’t afford daycare, he said.

After asking the farmer’s son why conditions were so bad, Chouhan was fired.

The same fate followed him after he asked the same question of two other employers.

“That created an interest, a curiosity to find out what was going on,” said Chouhan. “Nothing was being done to organize or help farm workers.They were not even deemed workers under the Employment Standards Act.” In the years following, Chouhan familiarized himself with labour activist Cesar Chavez, who founded California’s United Farm

Workers. (The pair would go on to become friends.)

It took at least five years before the local politician was able to rally a group of farm workers under one roof to talk about their dire situation.Threats, intimidation and bullying tactics were used by the employers to keep the workers quiet.

“They were telling the workers that if you contact any authority, you will be deported.We were meeting them in their kitchens. People didn’t know about their rights, so they were afraid,” explained Chouhan.

In September of 1978, 30 farm workers met Chouhan at a library in Surrey.The following April, the Farmworkers Organizing Committee was struck. About 2,000 members signed up that first year, which led to the establishment of the Canadian Farmworkers’ Union on April 10, 1980.

“It was a moment, for me, personally, like God, is this real? It was like a dream coming true,” said Chou-

After gaining union status, the next step was to go out and organize.The task was difficult, however, because most farm workers were seasonal and didn’t

have a permanent work address.

The first two employers Chouhan and his team attempted to bring under a collective agreement was a mushroom and alfalfa

sprout farm.

Both farms were reluctant to give into the demands, so the workers were forced to go on strike for six months.

‘They’re human beings, too’ Continued from page 37 farming community was so much on these two employers because they were afraid that if we were successful here, then we would go to other places.They didn’t want us to succeed,” said Chouhan, adding employers would send in “scab workers,” non-unionized workers, to cross the picket line and work.

Given that the union had limited financial resources, he said union members would pool their money to survive.With a wife and a young daughter at home, times were tough.

“I had no money. My daughter wanted to go to McDonald’s to have a Happy Meal. In order to avoid that, I would make sure I wouldn’t drive on the street that McDonald’s was on because I couldn’t afford to buy it,” he told the Record.

When the strike ended, it was a huge celebration, Chouhan remembered, but it didn’t last long. Over the next few years, organizing transient farm workers con-

tinued to be difficult. Intimidation got to the point that if workers spoke to a union representative, the employer would refuse to issue them a record of employment, which they needed to apply for employment insurance.

As a result, union membership began to drop, and by 1984, there were no new collective bargaining agree-

There was a need, and I didn’t think twice at all ment certifications.Today, the Canadian Farmworkers’ Union only exists on paper and has no members.

Despite not being an active body, Chouhan said the union helped draft health and safety regulations for the agriculture sector that were adopted by the provincial government in the early ’90s; regulations that still stand today. It also played an important role in educat-

ing workers who were illiterate, by teaching them about their tools, pesticides and anything agriculture-related.

Looking back on those years, Chouhan said he’d probably have to think twice about doing it all over again.

He admitted there were some “very scary” moments, including a time when he had a gun pointed at him by an employer while he was out handing out pro-union pamphlets.

“At that time, there was a need, and I didn’t think twice at all,” he said.

More than 40 years later, Chouhan still gets stopped in the street and is recognized as the “farmworker organizer.”

“When people go to restaurants, or have dinner at home, they don’t think about where the food is coming from.They don’t think about the people who produce it, who work 12 hours a day under very harsh conditions.We have to think about those people, they’re human beings, too,” he said.

Unions need to build new green economy When it comes to that delicate balancing act between protecting jobs and protecting the environment, Burnaby resident Ananda Lee Tan’s would rather to upset the scale.

The veteran union organizer has roughly three decades of experience under his belt, and he insists the dichotomy of jobs versus the environment is a false one.

For the past six years, he’s been with the Climate Justice Alliance, working with communities that live close to harmful extractive polluting industries, helping them negotiate alternatives in their respective industries. He calls this a new, emerging area of “just transition,” which he defines as a strategic pathway from the present “dig, burn, drive, dump” economy to one where the well-being of people and the planet come first.

Q: Unions don’t create the jobs or determine how much energy is consumed while doing the work. So what exactly should they be doing to

protect the environment?

A: Unions need to play a leadership role in rethinking, recreating and rebuilding a new economy, where we make the economy work for people and planet. …

That will mean also fulfilling a long-term view of the labour movement, moving past the short-term, what I would call a business union model, towards a long-term social justice ideals of the original labour movement.

Q:What advice would you give a union that represents people who rely on fossil fuels, but also represents people whose jobs may be at risk due to an oil spill, for example?

A:What is a just transition pathway to local living economies that will sustain not only our jobs, but the jobs of our children and grandchildren?

start working for us rather than the corporations, and that can only happen locally, town by town, community by community, municipal district by municipal district.Then move up to the provincial and federal levels, negotiating power.

Our unions work for community groups, reassert power up the land base and ensure that we are working with First Nations as well.

If we align ourselves on the grassroots and make sure we are taking back the resource theft that is taking place by big private corporations – stealing our water resources, our food resources, our forest resources, our mineral resources – and ensure that a greater portion of those benefits are being directly invested in the infrastructure, in a new economy, in a people’s economy infrastructure, where communities can not only control energy resources, food resources, building resources, this is about people taking back the land and the

resources from multinational corporations. Our days are numbered on this planet as a result of their carbon intensity, the pollution intensity, the toxin intensity, the layered destruction of the planet.

Q:You’ve done work internationally.What have you seen in other parts of the globe that’s worked?

A:There are some amazing models. For example, Cuba, they were forced, due to an economic embargo placed by the U.S. – people were starving at one point as a result of this economic embargo. As a result, they had to shift from an industrialized model to an agroecology model just to meet their food needs.

What they transitioned to while moving to an agroecology, local sustainable food model, they’re not only (enjoying) domestic food security, they are in a position to actually export some of these organic

foods.The agroecologists in the last year who have been down there say that it’s like their nutritional levels are amongst the highest in the Americas now from feeding themselves.

Q:There are some people who want the environment protected and others who say you are going to kill jobs if you do that.What would you say to their union leaders?

A: Unions, if they can do one thing towards creating the new economy, it’s democratizing their own decision making. … They need to go back to the basics of organizing 101, taking these issues back to the rank and file, engaging them in discussions, local by local, community by community so that there can be local intelligence from the rank and file applied to design a new economy.

Café gets creative to solve ventilation problem Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Coming Home Café is getting creative with its menu after encountering problems in the kitchen.

Because the Sixth Street café doesn’t have a proper commercial hood and ventilation and suppression systems, the mom-and-pop shop has been ordered to stop serving anything containing animal fat and oil.

“That’s kind of crazy and hard to do for a breakfast place,” said chef/manager Michael Colomb. “No bacon, no sausage. I can poach eggs and I can boil things, but I can’t do my normal breakfasts. My hash browns, I now have to do baked in the oven instead of a skillet on the top of the stove.”

While it was initially feared the order to stop serving anything containing animal fat or oil could put the café out of business, that’s no longer a concern.

“We have decided we don’t have to close because of this,” Colomb said. “We have changed the way we

are doing things.The timeline is whenever we can come up with the money and give it to the company, then they can make us our vent and install it.”

Located at 753 Sixth St., Coming Home Café is known for its all-day breakfasts.

“We are doing eggs benedict every single day. I am coming up with crazy bennies to do on the weekend,” Colomb said. “I am coming up with different specials that I can do with no oil and no animal fats. It means we are going to be a lot more creative with our specials and please everybody the best we can.”

The restaurant and one of its customers have launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for a new venting fan system.The Support Coming Home! campaign, which got underway Aug. 18, has raised $525 of its $32,000 goal as of Aug. 31.

According to a Fraser Health inspection report, an environmental health officer inspected the restaurant on June 14 and noticed a lot of

grease-laden vapours were being produced at the café and referred the matter to the fire department.

“We received a complaint, so we followed up and did an inspection,” said Rob Dick, an assistant deputy fire chief with New West-

minster Fire and Rescue Services. “We identified they were cooking and producing grease-laden vapours.What they do not have is the appropriate ventilation system for that type of cooking.”

Without the appropriate system in place, Dick said

vapours can accumulate when foods like bacon or oils are cooked and attach to walls. Grease provides fuel for a fire, if one should occur.

“With grease-laden vapours, it is the Fire Code that we are enforcing,” he

said. “At the end of the day, it’s about trying to ensure things are as safe as we can make them. Obviously preventing fires is what we want to do.”

Businesses that Prime Denture Clinic

rian Ko and Patrick Marcelo of Prime Denture Clinic in New Westminster understand the significance of a patient’s decision to get dentures.

After all, it can impact the way a patient looks, the way they eat, the way they speak, even the way they smile—which is precisely why they take such a meticulous approach to preparing the right solution for each patient, whether it’s partial dentures, full dentures or implantsupported dentures.

“We are very detail-oriented,” says Marcelo. “We consider the high standard acrylic-based materials that we use to be more durable and more natural looking, so the result is a more natural smile rather than an artificial looking set of dentures.”

Ko and Marcelo took over the Maria Green Denture Clinic in October 2014.

With years of valuable experience as dental technicians creating crowns and bridges, designing dentures was a natural progression for the talented duo.

“We use quite a few precision techniques,” says Marcelo. “And we take a lot more measurements than the average denturist. With our backgrounds, we are able to better understand the concept of a more natural bite.”

Prime Denture Clinic specializes in implant-supported dentures. When

implant-supported dentures are inserted into the mouth, they are attached to titanium rods that are anchored to the patient’s jaw. The result is a tighter fit and a more stable bite.

Not sure what approach is right for you?

Marcelo is quick to point out that new patients can receive a free consultation at Prime Denture Clinic and a no-pressure approach.

“Our patients leave feeling really happy with what they have been provided,” he says. “We don’t push for something they don’t need. We provide them with the best possible options and let them decide what’s best for them.”

To find out more about Prime Denture Clinic or to schedule an appointment, visit their location at suite 203 - 624 Sixth Street in New Westminster, browse their website at www.primedentureclinic.ca, email primedentureclinic@gmail.com or call 604-521-6424.

Girls celebrate provincial win, NAIG berth

Five NewWest girls played big roles in their squads’ successful run at the B.C.Aboriginal soccer tournament Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

From word of mouth to bonding as a team, a quintet of New Westminster teenagers came together to play key roles at the B.C. Aboriginal Soccer championships last week in Prince George.

Taylor Spong and sisters Brianne and Shianne Lowka and Madison and Sydney Fowler united with their respective teammates to steamroll the competition at the Indigenous soccer tournament.

Brianne Lowka’s under-18 Fraser/Lower Mainland squad was a perfect 5-0, beating Vancouver Island 9-0 in the final to claim the provincial title and a berth to next year’s North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) in Toronto.

Not to be outdone, sister Shianne Lowka, the Fowler siblings and Spong also marched undefeated through five games, beating

Vancouver Island 3-1 in the championship match.

Neither Lowka sister knew what to expect when they arrived in Prince George.

“When we went up I thought we’d be competitive,” said 16-year-

When we went up I thought we’d be competitive. old Brianne. “I thought it would be fairly equal and we’d have to play our best.”

The u18 team out-scored its rivals 31-0. Brianne finished with six goals in the tourney.

As passionate as she is about soccer, the whole tryout – which began in May – and run-up to the tourney provided her ample time to show that the knee injury which

wiped out most of the 2015 Royal City season was behind her.

“You think about being recognized by my name but what’s most important is representing my hometown and the logo on the front,” Brianne said.

While the u18 team didn’t have a lot of prep time in the way of games prior to the tournament, they were adopted by a local men’s Chinese soccer team which sponsored them and provided some scrimmage competition.

The u15 team, meanwhile, thrived in a tighter division with a couple of close victories in Prince George.Thirteen-year-old Sydney Fowler, a defender, said the final proved to be very close.

“We felt some pressure because we’d already played (Vancouver Island) and won in penalties, but we had a good second half.”

As 15-year-old Taylor Spong recalls, the final minutes of the final

were dramatic but also led into a great team celebration.

“The last five minutes of the game we knew we were winning,

and when (the referee) called the game we just got together, crying,” she said.

Goodwin honoured for WLA sophomore season Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Time management is one of the areas Justin Goodwin seems to have a handle on.

The New Westminster native completed his university degree last year, played a huge role this summer as a second-year senior with his hometown Salmonbellies, while taking on a coach’s hat with his former minor association.

He could be the photo assigned to the definition of an ‘Achiever,’ one who rolls up his sleeves and does the tough and unglamorous jobs that others wave off.

Goodwin’s efforts as a sophomore was well-recognized this weekend with the announced 2016 Western Lacrosse Association annual awards, with Goodwin receiving the Maitland Award for sportsmanship, value to his team and service to minor lacrosse as well as a spot on the first all-star team.

“Honestly, I’m a bit surprised,” said Goodwin of the twin honours. “When I was told that I was among those nominated for the Maitland I was honoured.”

Earning positions on the WLA second all-star team were teammates Ian Hawksbee and Logan Schuss.

This spring Goodwin took on the head coaching duties with the New West peewee A squad. It isn’t something he is completely unfamiliar with, since his dad Steve has coached the

senior Salmonbellies for a handful of years.

“Definitely, coaching gives you a new perspective of the game and what (coaches) go through,” he noted. “I’d listen to my dad and try to pick-up a few things – although there are not a lot of similarities when coaching kids and the senior A game… I was listening and heard how (dad Steve) communicated to players at their level and tried to repeat that, to help (the peewee players) understand what we wanted to do.”

A highlight for the team came mid-season at Tsawwassen’s Wayne Goss tournament, where the boys shook off two early losses to beat both teams en route to the title.

“Everything kind of clicked in the tournament…

I wouldn’t say we peaked but it was great to see the process of them learning and putting it together.”

As a second-year defender in the WLA, Goodwin also quickly rose up the ranks and found his comfort zone, as New West shrugged off a cool start to the year to post a 14-games unbeaten streak before falling in the semifinals to Maple Ridge.

“It is a tough league and (the coaching experience) could be one reason why I had the level of success I enjoyed,” he said. “Last year I was kind of thrown into it as a rookie, coming in fresh from (Lake Erie College) without any camp. As

a coach you have to understand the game and the different way to approach situations.”

The Bellies president/general manager said Goodwin’s contributions on the floor were a key reason why the club finished second.

“He’s one of those kids who are quiet but always get the job done,” said Richard-

son of the 23 year old. “Getting an all-star honour is well-deserved, as he’s been a go-to guy and brings a lot of tenacity to the club.”

With his dad behind the bench and older brother Brandon a lefthanded sniper on the squad, the team is all the more like a family.

“He can score goals that I can’t,” said Justin of Bran-

don. “I enjoy playing with him, he’s a good person to be around. In the dressing room he’s lively and a bit goofy.”

Goodwin’s focus is now on using his degree in biology, as he’s applying for admission as a pre-med student with the goal of becoming a doctor.

He’s also inked a contract

with the Vancouver Stealth for the coming National Lacrosse League season – well, because he’s always got time for lacrosse.

“Definitely, lacrosse is one of my passions and one of my dreams is to play pro,” he said. “I still have to make the team… It’s just another way to love the game.”

Hyacks top boot The Royal City Hyacks Orange flag football team ventured to Surrey and returned with some hardware, after going undefeated at the Bronze Boot tournament.

The Hyacks began the 47-year-old tournament by battling White Rock to a scoreless draw in the opener, despite numerous chances. In their second game,

the five-to-seven year olds knocked off Langley 8-6, with Jacob Armstrong scoring the game-winning touchdown.

To complete the swing, Royal City defeated another White Rock team, as Armstrong counted three more majors and Chase Domaas dominated on defence with a number of pulled flags.

Continued from page 43 Madison, 14, said the best part was how the team bonded quickly under strenuous playing conditions.

“Everyone worked well together and there were like no cliques,” she said.

All four New West players started each game, with Shianne, who scored 15 goals over the weekend, and Spong earning all-star nods.

One of the most impressive parts was how, despite only playing one real exhibition game, the team bonded so quickly, said Spong.

“We were all kind of ner-

vous and wondering how we’d gel, but once we got that first win we kind of came together.”

With the win locking up a spot at the NAIG next year in Toronto, the accomplishment means all the more, said Sydney.

“I think it’s pretty special to be on the team, to go to the NAIG,” she said. “For everyone it is pretty new and special.”

Shianne concurred. “I only learned a few months ago about (NAIG) and now I’m quite proud that we made it. I can’t wait.”
