New West students to play decision-making role Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster students will play a role in decision making at the school board level, with delegations in the board’s education committee.

The education committee recently heard from the district’s student voice forums about getting students more engaged at the school board level.

“We’re just suggesting that

some students be sitting with the board at these meetings every month starting next year, with about six students – one from each middle school … and then some senior students from the high school and some youngergrade students as well,” said Rebecca Ballard, a Grade 11 student from New Westminster Secondary School, at a recent education committee meeting.

“We wanted to be on the board – because everyone’s here for us –

to be consulted for decisions that directly affect us and for things. If the board needs … consultation from the students, opinions from students on things that you might want to pass that would affect us, and just kind of a go-between, between what you guys do and the students learning.”

Ballard was joined at the committee meeting by five other students, who said students can help fine-tune issues going through the school board to ensure it would

work well at the school level.

At the following regular public school board meeting, trustees voted on a report put forward by trustee Gurveen Dhaliwal, which proposed a “student voice district team,” which would include three students from NWSS and one from each middle school.

That group of students would participate in all education policy and planning committee meetings “with the option to attend other meetings and re-evaluate partici-

Council supports long-term Q to Q service Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Q to Q ferry will set sail on the Fraser River for years to come.

New Westminster city council recently endorsed a plan for the ongoing Q to Q ferry service between the Quayside and Queensborough neighbourhoods.

Council also directed staff to issue a request for proposals for a permanent ferry service operator and supported an enhancement to the operating budget to cover costs for the service.

According to a staff report, the total estimated operating cost to deliver the Q to Q ferry service for five years is just shy of $4 million. Staff anticipate that the funding sources identified in the current five-year financial plan will be sufficient to cover costs, but noted that updated signage, marketing, tickets and promotional materials will be required in 2020 and will cost an additional $45,000.

The city anticipates $1 million in capital investment will be required to build a new, more accessible ferry dock and to do additional maintenance and improvements to dock infrastructure, signage, weather protection and other infrastructure required for the ferry operation.

Staff recommended the city actively pursue sponsors to help offset the costs of operating the ferry and seek

Q TO Q: New West city council has endorsed a plan to keep the ferry service around for years to come. sponsorship or other support from TransLink and the provincial government.

“I am in support of the Q to Q ferry. I think it’s been a good service. I am a little concerned about what it is actually costing us to run and the long-term sustainability of the cost of it, considering the ridership we

are having,” said Coun. Patrick Johnstone. “This report is asking us to commit to a five-year plan for the Q to Q. I am not comfortable with that five-year plan the way it is right now.”

Johnstone put forward a motion that council endorse the service plan laid out by staff, issue a request for pro-

posals for another year of service, enhance the operating budget to cover the cost of the ferry for one year, and direct staff to engage with TransLink, the province and other community partners in developing a sustainable long-term plan to connect the Q to Q, while addressing some affordability con-

cerns.

“I think it is the right time for us to have another go at talking to senior agencies about whether there is any opportunity to share any of those costs or find a way to make this service more affordable so that the city is not holding the burden of all of this transporta-

tion cost,” he said.

Council defeated Johnstone’s motion and supported a process to find a long-term operator for the service.

“We have done a twoyear trial and I recognize, and I think we all recognize, that there are costs associated with making this a permanent all-year-round service,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “I certainly do support looking for partnerships with the provincial government and TransLink, but those may not necessarily be imminent.”

Cote said he supports having a long-term contract in place so residents who rely on the service know it’s something they can count on in the future.

According to a staff report, the Q to Q provided more than 80,000 ferry trips from May 2018 to June 2019, with half of those trips taking place in the three months of summer. Between May 2018 and May 2019, the net cost to the city to operate the ferry service was $703,138.

The city had hoped to build a pedestrian and bicycle bridge between the Queensborough and Quayside neighbourhoods. After determining that plan had “significant” costs, the city launched a two-month demonstration for the ferry service in 2017and embarked on the current pilot ferry service in May 2018.

New West to launch ambitious tree canopy master plan Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster is going out on a limb in an effort to significantly grow its tree canopy in the coming years.

Council has endorsed a tree planting master plan that aims to plant about 11,800 trees by 2035.

“This is a 10-year master plan,” said Erika Mashig, the city’s manager of arboriculture, horticulture, parks and open space planning.

“It is a key action within the urban forest management strategy, which provides strategic framework for how we are going to grow our citywide urban forest canopy cover from 18 per cent to 27 per cent, which is the average for a North American city.We are a bit behind on

that one.”

Amelia Needoba, a principal and senior forester with Diamond Head Consulting, said the city aims to accomplish that “ambitious” target with plantings of 2,200 new trees on cityowned park and civic lands, 6,300 new street trees and 3,300 new trees on private land.

In addition to supporting the targets of the Urban Forest Management Strategy that was developed in 2016, Needoba said the tree planting master plan responds to a climate emergency resolution adopted this year.

As part of the plan, the city is aiming to plant up to 500 new trees annually on city streets and boulevards.

“This is requiring all-

hands-on-deck to implement this tree planting this fall,” Mashig said. “There will be… a shared kind of work plan where engineering operations, horticultural staff, auxiliary labourers are shifting in and out of tree planting certain days of the week to achieve what this plan is setting out to do.”

The master plan includes a tree-planting schedule that identifies high-priority areas (years one to three), moderate-priority areas (years four to six) and low-priority areas (years seven to 10.)

“We wanted to identify places where trees could be planted now, places where residents had requested replacement trees or places where development has resulted in a tree-planting plan.Those opportunities

were all incorporated into this,” Needoba said. “In the later years we have streets that might still be a high priority, however there are some issues where we may need extended communi-

We wanted to identify places where trees could be planted now.

ty engagement or consultation to resolve some of the tree-planting plans for those streets.”

Planting Area A is Queensborough, where the

current tree canopy is six per cent, and Planting Area B is the Brow of the Hill/ Downtown, where there is a 10-per-cent canopy cover. Planting Area C (Massey Victory Heights, McBride, Sapperton and Brunette) has a 19-per-cent tree canopy, while Planting Area D (Connaught Heights, the West End, Moody Park, Glenbrook North and Queen’s Park) has the city’s highest tree canopy cover at 21 per cent. “l think it does a very good job of prioritizing the areas that do need the most trees,” Mayor Jonathan Cote said of the plan. “I think particularly the Brow of the Hill and Queensborough are two areas we intuitively knew at the very beginning (were) areas of

focus where we definitely wanted to see significant increases in the urban forest.”

While there are challenges with planting downtown, Cote wants to make that happen.

“I did note that Portland, even in their very urban areas, tended to actually do a very good job with their urban forest and street trees.

I am not sure what strategies they put in place to be able to do that but I think of our high-density neighbourhoods, one of the areas that makes that kind of living a little bit more livable is street trees. I really do think we need to challenge ourselves in that regard. But overall, this provides a really good roadmap and gives us a good starting point to be able to really get to work.”

City CANNABIS

Muse aiming for store opening on Oct. 1 Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Muse Cannabis is hoping to set the bar high for cannabis shops in New Westminster.

Following public hearings last month, council approved applications for two cannabis stores, including Muse Cannabis at 532 Sixth St. “We are just really excited about it.We really love New Westminster. Our JAK’s store there has done really well,” said Mike McKee, director of real estate and finance for JAK’s Beer Wine and Spirits. “We are really excited to be one of the first stores in New West and to really set the bar high for all our future competitors in terms of what needs to be done to run a successful cannabis store in the city.”

McKee said cannabis was a “natural fit” for JAK’s, as it operates under a similar regulatory framework as alcohol.The company, which owns JAK’s on Seventh Street, opened its first can-

nabis store in Vancouver on June 8.

“We want to create, much like JAK’s, a very comfortable space, an upscale type of environment.We want to make it a very comfortable shopping experience,” McKee told the Record.

“We plan to have a very similar look and feel to the

store in uptown as we have on South Granville.”

According to McKee, Muse Cannabis will initially have more than 100 different products in stock, but that will double or triple in the next six to 12 months because beverages, edibles and concentrates should become available around

Christmastime.

Based on JAK’s experience in opening a shop on South Granville Street, McKee said the hope is to open the New Westminster store by Oct. 1.

“One of the biggest sticking points we have run into is with staff,” he said. “If we hire someone they have to

go through a background verification process through the province. Once they have done it once, they can use it for any cannabis retailer, but for a lot of these people who are working for us, we are their first licensed cannabis retailer to work for so it’s the first time they are going through that process.

It is taking on average 35 business days, which is seven weeks, from when they apply.”

According to McKee, staffing is an issue at JAK’s newly opened location in Vancouver, as it’s waiting for criminal record checks.

“I am not even open full hours because I don’t have enough people approved there,” he said. “It’s been a real struggle on that side.”

The legalization of the production, sale and possession of non-medical cannabis in Canada has resulted in a division of roles and responsibilities for the federal, provincial and municipal governments.

“The process has been, I would say pretty much

as expected, except we thought the province might be moving a little faster,” McKee said. “I feel the city has done their part. In fact, I would say the city has gone above and beyond a bit in pushing (the) public hearing for this one. I feel that the province has been very slow in getting the information to the city. It’s been a fairly smooth process with the city.”

The city received applications for 22 cannabis shops, all of which have to receive financial integrity and security program checks from the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch.

JAK’s has to go through the same process with the province for each location.

“From what I understand now it’s taking up to four months to get that approval,” he said of the province.

“My dealings with the people who are there have been good. I just think that you can only push so much water through a hose – they need more people to process this.”

Your Mom &Dad worked hard all their lives.

Now help them enjoy it.

Five ways parents can help their kids feel comfortable at the dentist 1. Be a positive role model. Children frequently learn by example. If they see their parents being diligent about dental care, they’re more likely to embrace proper oral hygiene. Bring children to your own dental appointments so they understand the process and become familiar with the type of equipment used.

2. Stick to the first-tooth milestone. Take your child to the dentist on or about when his or her first tooth erupts. Early dental visits will get kids used to going to the dentist and prevent minor problems that may lead to more complex dental issues.

3. Read books about the dentist and role play. Information can allay kids’ fears about the dentist. Read books together about dental visits and act out possible scenarios with your kids. Give kids toy dental health tools and have them practice exams on you and vice-versa.

4. Be supportive and instill trust. Avoid telling your child that everything will be okay. If a procedure is needed, this could affect his or her trust in you and make the dental office an even greater source of anxiety. Simply be supportive and offer a hand to squeeze or a hug if your child needs you.

5. Consider using your dentist. Some parents like to take their children to a pediatric dentist, but it may not always be necessary. Many family practices cater to patients of all ages, and the familiarity of the office may help make children feel more comfortable.

Speak with your dentist about the ages they see.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Climate change has turned B.C. into a pile of kindling The term “wildfire season” is becoming too common with people.

It’s not a season like “camping season” or “boating season.”

It’s not something fun or something people should get used to or accept. Our climate emergency has led to unseasonably warm and dry conditions in many parts of our province this spring that have resulted in higher fire danger ratings in some areas.

So we’re urging you to be responsible when it comes

to getting out into the great outdoors.

Some of the things we’re going to mention might seem obvious, but a lot of people aren’t paying attention.

For one thing, smokers need to get their act together and stop flicking their butts into any area that can catch fire.

It doesn’t take much to spark a wildfire.

According to the provincial government, humancaused fires are completely preventable and unneces-

sarily divert crucial firefighting resources away from naturally occurring wildfires.

From April 1 through June 26, 2019, the BC Wildfire Service responded to 405 wildfires throughout B.C. About 293 of those fires (or about 70 per cent) are believed to have been caused by people.

Seventy per cent!

Campfires are currently permitted throughout the province within the BC Wildfire Service’s jurisdiction, but larger Category 2

and Category 3 open fires are prohibited in some areas to reduce wildfire risks and protect public safety.The use of fireworks is also prohibited in some regions.

Here are some basic campfire safety tips and fire precautions: ! Campfires must not be larger than 0.5 metres high or 0.5 metres wide. ! Never light a campfire or keep it burning in windy conditions.Weather can change quickly and wind may carry embers to other combustible material.

! Maintain a fireguard around the campfire.This is a fuel-free area where all flammable materials (grass, kindling, etc.) have been removed right down to the soil. ! Never leave a campfire unattended.

Anyone who lights a campfire is legally responsible for making sure it does not escape.

That person could be held accountable for damages and fire suppression costs if their negligence results in a wildfire. Anyone

riding an all-terrain vehicle or dirt bike on Crown land must have a spark arrestor installed on the vehicle. Check the condition of the muffler, regularly clear build-ups of grass or other vegetation from hot spots, stay on dirt paths and avoid tall grass and weeds to help reduce wildfire risks.

So, you’ve been warned.

We’ve shown you the things you need to remember.

It’s up to you to be responsible.

You’re an adult.

Act like one.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

B.C. vindicated on carbon tax The BC NDP government won a major court case last week, even though it was technically the latest ruling on a matter pitting Ottawa against several other provinces.

When the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that the federal government’s proposed carbon tax is legal and constitutionally sound, it was a big boost to the Trudeau government’s plan to fight climate change. It was also a victory here in B.C., the birthplace of this country’s first carbon tax. B.C. had sought intervener status.

A steadily rising carbon tax is a key part of B.C.’s own plan.The tax is pegged at $35 per tonne of carbon dioxide emissions and the NDP plans to increase that tax by $5 a year until it hits at least $50 per tonne.

B.C. could find itself at an economic disadvantage if it was the only province with a carbon tax that kept growing.That is precisely the position right-leaning provinces, such as Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario, take.

Their leaders are vehemently against it.

The Ontario court ruled Ottawa’s proposed carbon tax isn’t even really an actual tax. Rather, the court found, it is simply a regulatory charge tied to a desired outcome (in this case, reducing greenhouse gas emissions).

This part of the ruling is another potential gift to Premier John Horgan. It is conceivable the BC NDP now drops the word “tax” in its next budget and replaces it with “levy.”

The Ontario court ruling – which follows a similar one from the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal – pushes the BC NDP and the federal Liberals closer together on the climate action file.

The federal NDP and Greens both favour far more aggressive action, but Horgan and Trudeau – who face the challenges that come with governing, unlike their Opposition counterparts – prefer mastering the art of political compromise.

For now, B.C.’s carbon tax is not unpopular in this province. It certainly brings in a lot of money for the provincial government: an expected $1.7 billion this year, rising to more than $2 billion annually two years from now.

The tax used to be “revenue neutral” (it was originally tied to an income tax reduction), but it lost that status in the final years of the last BC Liberal government.

The BC NDP has completely shredded any notion of revenue neutrality and now ties the tax to clean energy projects and transit – a political calculation that likely makes sense.

As we approach the federal fall election,Trudeau can understandably take considerable comfort in high court rulings backing a key part of his climate action strategy.

But standing right beside him is Horgan, happy to see their carbon tax position vindicated over the objections of their right-wing provincial colleagues.

Man saves dog in icy waters

Man was dog’s best friend during a chilly rescue just days before Christmas. Ken Banks was walking a friend’s Yorkshire terrier, Cookie, at the Quay near the Samson V, as he did nearly every day. On this day, however, the tiny dog slipped under the lower railing and into the murky Fraser River.The canine was wearing a thick woolen sweater and did not re-surface. It was 6 p.m. and nearly dark, but Banks jumped into the chest-deep water and frantically search for the pooch. Staff at Paddlewheeler River Adventures said it seemed like 10 minutes before Banks scooped the terrified terrier out of the water and revived it by “dumping a bunch of water out of it.”

QUEENSBOROUGH’S

ORIGINAL PUB

INBOX

Brewery District growth is ruining our views Editor: There is a blight that has had a serious detrimental effect on cities. It severely taxes a city’s infrastructure, public transit, traffic density, parking, etc.

It is referred to as “urban sprawl.”

New Westminster has its own version of this blight – “vertical sprawl.” This insidious problem is being exacerbated by Mayor Jonathan Cote, who has an agenda. His vision of morphing New Westminster into a world-class city is by allowing/ promoting unprecedented construction of mega towers.

What makes this agenda untenable for the citizens of our city who have a strong objection to this is our cabal of city councillors (some people refer to them as “Team Cote”), who seem to vote on issues en bloc according to the mayor’s whims or ideology. This is not how you properly serve the citizens of New Westminster. We voted these people into office to represent and support us and our concerns, not an individual’s personal agenda. The latest fiasco to be foisted upon us is yet another prosaic monolith being built by the Westgroup in the Brewery District in Sapperton.

Drive up and down any street or alley and you will see bumper-to-bumper parking occupying every available space reaching all the way up to Fraser Cemetery. This is due to the fact there is already a lack of affordable parking availability for the people working and living here now.

Now, add to this mix tens of thousands of new renters, owners, office workers and customers

who will be flooding into the Brewery District (from the various projects). Without a doubt, the traffic congestion along East Columbia and Brunette is going to be a nightmare. Don’t believe the powers that be when they tell you that these people will be using the SkyTrain. We are a society that has an ingrained dependence on relying on our own vehicle for commuting.

Living on the hillside of Sapperton, we have been blessed with a magnificent view of the Fraser River. We are losing this with every new highrise that is built. Soon the view of the river will be a distant memory.

Not only should there be more consultation concerning future development, but the citizens should set aside their apathy and indifference and get more involved in this issue. After all, this is your city, and you should be concerned with its future. Don’t leave it to the politicians to decide what is best for the city and its people. You don’t know whose back pocket they are in.

Murray Swanson, New Westminster

Shuttle needed for some recyclable items

Editor: About recycling and all those protests.

Yes, New West residents don’t all have cars. I live in an 85-condo building. Our custodian takes our clean glass and styrofoam down to the depot in a cart. I realize that this is a Metro Vancouver issue and we may be out of luck. Is there any chance for a community shuttle for at least the glass and styrofoam?

Brow residents press for park Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

More than 700 people have signed petitions urging the City of New Westminster to purchase a property in the Brow of the Hill.

After learning the owner of the property at 1009 Cornwall St. may be listing it for sale, Brow of the Hill residents launched a petition to urge the city to buy the land for use as a neighbourhood-serving park.Ten area residents appeared at council’s June 10 meeting to support the proposal.

“Council isn’t going to be able to delve into a discussion about this specific property,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote.

“I can let folks know, part of our parks plan has recognized the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood as an underserved area and we are certainly interested in looking for opportunities.”

Dean Gibson, director of parks and recreation, said the parks and recreation comprehensive plan recognizes there are some chal-

lenges in the Brow of the Hill in terms of park space, compared to other neighbourhoods.

“Land issues are one of those delicate issues that cities deal with, where sometimes things are dealt with both in private sessions as well as in public discourse such as this,” he said. “At this stage of the game, I can certainly say that land acquisition and park development across the whole city is on our radar. It does present some financial challenges which also need to be addressed as part of annual budgeting concerns.”

Several residents told council that acquiring the site would be a good step in addressing the lack of greenspace and trees in the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood. Residents noted the vacant site is already being tended to be neighbours and used as a de facto park.

While he had a big back yard where he could play when growing up in the neighbourhood, Matheson George said residents of apartments in the area don’t

have that luxury. He said neighbourhood kids would benefit by having space to play, exercise and socialize with other kids.

Katrine Ireland said the site is home to several large trees that are more than 100 years old. She noted the site provides essential habitat for wildlife, including raccoons, squirrels, hawks, bald eagles and bats.

“One of the things I found out about was bats have a homing instinct, where they return to the same place every year to roost and nest,” she said.

“Once they’ve lost this habitat, those creatures lose their home.”

According to Ireland, the petition has been endorsed

by New Westminter Environmental Parters, New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society, the Brow of the Hill Residents’ Association, Community Bat Programs of B.C. and the environmental committee at New Westminster Secondary School.

Business EVENTS

Steel & Oak hosts party to mark five years

It’s been five years and four million glasses of beer since Steel & Oak opened its doors on Third Avenue and Stewardson Way. Co-owners Jorden Foss and Jamie Garbutt now juggle a business along with a family life, which includes helping raise five boys under the age of six.

“It’s been busy to say the least,” said Foss. “I got my first grey beard hair the other day and I thought, this is actually pretty good that it took this long. I don’t know if it’s from the kids, the beer, or both.”

Foss operates the brewery, while Garbutt focuses

on his real estate company, Garbutt Dumas, also based out of New West.

“It’s fun,” said Garbutt.

“Jorden carries the stress; I get to show up, drink beer, and be the fun boss. But seriously it’s been an incredible ride.We’ve both learned how to operate a manufacturing and retail business in a short period of time. It’s not easy.”

Steel & Oak’s beers are now available across B.C., including Government Liquor Stores.What started out as a tasting roomfocused business has now turned into something much larger than either

Foss or Garbutt could have anticipated.

“We just wanted to create a cool spot that New West was proud of. I don’t think either of us could have imagined we’d have cans, bottles, and draught beer all over BC at this point,” Foss said.

When asked what the next five years hold for the little brewery beside the overpass, in between the train tracks, Garbutt says, “We don’t want Steel & Oak to get that much bigger, but we do want to create other cool opportunities and gathering places in our city. So, we definitely

have some ideas on the go on what we can do next in New West.”

Steel & Oak will be celebrating with a big party on Sunday, July 7 in the parking lot behind the brewery, from 1 to 6 p.m., with Big Day BBQ, the Down Low Chicken Shack, Big Shucker Oyster Bar and Earnest Ice Cream on site.

There will also be kids’ activities, lemonade and a pop-up merch/bottle shop with some Steel & Oak rarities.

Five years: Steel & Oak co-owners Jorden Foss and Jamie Garbutt.

Arts & Entertainment EVENTS

Enjoy some music down by the river Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Live music fans, don’t forget that Music by the River has kicked off for the summer.

The live concert series is back in Westminster Pier Park, running Tuesdays and Thursdays in July from 5 to 9 p.m.

The event is familyfriendly, but those who want to indulge in an adult night out can take advantage of the fact that the park will be licensed for the occasion.

You can pick up a beverage from New West’s own Steel & Oak Brewing Co. or Pacific Breeze Winery at the Eats at the Pier concession – along with food, of course – and then enjoy the music from anywhere within the park.

Tonight (Thursday, July 4) you can enjoy the indie pop sounds of the Antoinette Libelt Band.

Next Tuesday, July 9, you can experience sitarist Mo-

hamed Assani (presented

by Key West Ford), and on Thursday, July 11, it’s Damasco Soul System.

The series is presented by the Arts Council of New Westminster, in conjunction with Alex Jopson of City to Suburb Real Estate Group and the City of New Westminster.

You can keep track of the latest lineup news by following the arts council on social media (@ArtsCouncilNW on Facebook,Twitter and Instagram).

OUTDOOR MOVIES RETURN There’s nothing like an outdoor movie to get into the summer spirit.

Don’t forget, the City of New Westminster’s summer movie series is running on Friday nights in July, so get ready to bring your blankets and snacks and settle in for a good night.

On Friday, July 5, Port Royal Park will host the first movie in the series,The Emperor’s New Groove.

On July 12, the movie showing is at Sapperton Park, with The LEGO Movie.

The next week, July 19, it’s The Avengers at Moody Park. As a special treat that evening, Moody Park Outdoor Pool will stay open until 9:30 p.m., so families can get in a swim before the movie starts.

The series winds up at Westminster Pier Park on July 26, when it’s the first adults-only (19 and up) screening – Bohemian Rhapsody.

For that week, the Eats at the Pier concession will be open from 8 to 11 p.m. with food and liquor sales, so you can get yourself a meal and a beverage to enjoy with the show.

If weather is bad, movies may be cancelled, so watch the movie page on the city’s website, www.tinyurl.com/ NWSummerMovies2019, each week for updates. Decisions are made by 4 p.m. on movie days.

SUMMER THEATRE A Douglas College alumnus is onstage in Ensemble Theatre Company’s seventh annual Summer Repertory Festival.

The festival is onstage July 10 to Aug. 16 at the Jericho Arts Centre, 1675 Discovery St. in Vancouver.

Chris Lam, who studied at Douglas College in New West, appears in The Drawer Boy. Michael Healey’s 1999 play tells the story of a young theatre actor from the city, Miles (played

by Lam), who arrives at the rural home of Angus and Morgan, two aging bachelor farmers. He intends to write a play based on their stories – but soon discovers more than he anticipated.

It’s in preview Wednesday, July 10 and opens Friday, July 12.

It alternates evenings with Garson Kanin’s BornYesterday (preview July 11, opening July 13) and Tracy Letts’ Superior Donuts (preview July 18, opening July 19).

Five years: Darcey Johnson (back left), James Gill and Chris Lam (seated) in The Drawer Boy, onstage as part of the Ensemble Theatre Company’s seventh annual Summer Repertory Festival.

“Theatre brings us together to celebrate, challenge and provoke through the telling of stories,” said Tariq Leslie, artistic director of Ensemble Theatre Company, in a press release.

“The plays we have programmed for our seventh season embrace conversations about what our cul-

ture was, is and could be – the stories we tell ourselves and the truths we all share – each one filled with humour and with pathos.”

Single tickets start at $25.

Smartphones should come with a warning.

“Use of this device may cause addiction to social media, gaming, and viewing violence or pornography. Excessive use affects sleep, and interferes with attention. Texting while driving or biking can result in early death”.

Adolescents engage in online entertainment on average 9 hours a day and 6 hours for preadolescents (Lauricella et al., 2016). Concerns can be mild: less face to face interaction or severe: sharing information such as location (Snapchat geolocator left on), inappropriate photos, meeting with strangers, or viewing videos that dare kids to try the Tide Pod Challenge or self-harming behaviour.

Is your child sacrificing sleep, secretive when online or depressed after being online? The National Association of School Psychologists recommends these steps to protect your family: • Develop a family plan https://www.healthychildren.org/English/media • Review privacy settings: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/parent-concern • Use NetNanny, Qustodio, or Securly.

Born with a sense of style, Michelle Bernier fashioned that into a successful home decor and renovation business.

With more than a decade of experience in the industry, in 2012 she founded her company, Michelle Dupré Design & Company and relocated to a bigger space at 314 Sixth Street to reflect the changes and new products available for her unique designs and projects.

The interior designer/principal of Michelle Dupré Design & Company ’s showroom offers broad range of services.

Kitchen/bathroom renovations designed from start to finish by our qualified and professional trade people. In-home consultations, and design services. Michelle Dupré Design is now an exclusive dealer for Cabico Cabinets made in Quebec, offering endless possibilities in custom cabinetry, finishes and colors for any room in the house. The showroom features innovative products suchas tiles from Italy/Spain for flooring, showers, bathtub enclosures and backsplashes and laminate, engineered and hardwood flooring including vinyl She carries Silestone, Cambria and other Quartz and Granite countertops. She also offers Canadian-made Para Paint mixed in store and a beautiful selection of stunning wallpapers from top brands for every design possibility.

The showroom features fabrics for upholstery and drapery and a full line of industry innovative blinds and shutters with motorized options. She can also finish off the project with home furnishings – furniture/bedding/pillows/lighting, space saving solutions, accessories and more. Smart home technology is also featured in her designs to save her clients money in energy costs.

Her showroom is a one stop design shop and focuses on Canadian, European and American products which value quality, craftsmanship and durability.

Her designs can go from limited budget to luxury high end depending on the size/scope of the project. Regardless of the size of the budget, every project ends up as a quality, luxurious and well-designed space unique to her client.

“There is a constant change in our industry probably more than any other industry,” she explains.“Something new is on the market almost every week and technology has broadened the industry further. Keeping up with industry trends and products is key to our business model”

How do I control light?

Blinds!

On their own, windows are just holes in the walls. But add a window covering like shades, blinds or shutters and you suddenly have privacy, control over the amount of sunlight that fills the area and better-looking room.

Whether you’re picking window coverings for one window or for entire house, you’ll need to consider window shape and size, how you use the room and the amount of sunlight you want to let in and keep out.

At Michelle Dupre Design & Company, we offer an in-home consultation and many varieties of blinds to suit your needs and your budget. We help guide you to understand what your blind needs are and the amount of sunlight you want to let in and keep out. We offer designer custom blinds for every budget. Call for an appointment today and make this summer cooler with new blinds!

After a very long time of denture wearing, I’m losing gum and bone. Can this be fixed?

Research shows that once the teeth are removed, the jaw bone shrinks and changes shape. Typically, dentures should be checked every year, and often they should be remade when they lose their fit and are loose in your mouth after 5-10 years of use. By using dental adhesive, you may have masked the loose fit of your dentures. Even though you have adapted to these dentures, you are not receiving the function and appearance you deserve. Also, it is important that you take your dentures out at night to allow your gum tissues to rest and decrease the possibility of sore spots.

Community Couples going on birth strikes Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

The other day, as I was scrolling through my Twitter feed, a tweet by a fellow journalist caught my eye.

It read, “My husband and I have made the conscious decision to not have children.” She went on to explain her reasoning (she didn’t have the desire and thought it would be better for the planet) and says she had the full support of her parents (they had never tried to pressure her).

She added she would appreciate not being asked when she and her husband would be trying for a baby.

In an article titled, “No children please, we’re ‘birth strikers’: new growing trend against starting a family,” shared in TheTelegraph, the author explores the efforts made by a group of protesters from the radical environmentalist group Extinction Rebellion, who took to the streets in London, arguing that the dangers to future generations can no longer be ignored.

In the article, the writer shares, “The population has doubled in the last half-century, rocketing from 3.61 billion to 7.3 billion today, and bringing children into this world means taking the food out of others’ mouths, putting more pressure on natural resources, and potentially sentencing those children to a life of uncertainty and hunger.”

One “birth striker” - a 28-year-old woman who is confident that her “biological clock will not start ticking” (despite the disbelief of her friends and family) - shares, “The older I get, the more my decision has solidified.There are now a lot of wider issues that I’m passionate about in terms of the planet and climate change that have confirmed that decision for me. Beyond not eating meat, recycling, using public transport, the number one thing that you can do for the planet is not reproduce.”

As a mother of three who admittedly doesn’t take all of these eco-friendly approaches to protecting our planet (I’m a confessed carnivore who drives a gas-guz-

zling SUV), I don’t take offense to these efforts to save the Earth, and instead admire the willingness of many to allow their emotional urges (many confess that they’d still love to have kids) to be taken over by their environmental ones.

People are choosing to save the planet over procreating, and I’m not angry I’m in awe.While some of their actions may seem radical to naysayers, and offensive to parents who have chosen a different path, their message definitely has me thinking about the future I want for my kids, and some of the changes that I should be making for my family’s future.

I appreciate that people are putting more thought into both the emotional and environmental impacts of having children, and while I may have made an alternate choice for myself, I certainly will listen on with open ears and an open mind.

Grand Prix champ pedaled road less travelled Local rider Sara Bergen’s route to 2018 victories re-inforced cyclist’s determination, late arrival to the sport

Mario Bartel

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Sara Bergen gives hope to weekend road warriors everywhere.

The 30-year-old Coquitlam native has become one of Canada’s most accomplished bike racers because, six years ago, she wanted to ride in the Whistler Gran Fondo.

Bergen finished fourth amongst all the female riders in the 120km event that is geared more for recreational cyclists than racers.

Last year she won the Canadian women’s criterium championship, then quickly followed that up with a win in the women’s event at the New West Grand Prix and second place finishes in the Gastown Grand Prix and PoCo Grand Prix.

She’s eagerly aiming to hit the Columbia Street course for a shot at defending her title on July 9.

All the races are part of the BC Superweek series of nine races that will run across the Lower Mainland from July 5 to 14.

Bergen didn’t set out to become a professional bike racer. She was commuting on a mountain bike from her family’s home near Coquitlam’s Mundy Park to architecture school at BCIT in Burnaby when, she said, her competitive nature led her to set personal challenges to ride faster than the other bike commuters on her daily route. She even pumped her bike’s heavy knobby tires to their maximum capacity so they’d roll easier and quicker on pavement.

With extra money from a scholarship Bergen earned in her final year of studies burning a hole in her pocket, she decided to gear up her cycling game – and make it a bit more efficient on her legs – by buying a road bike and shoes.

That allowed her to explore routes further afield from her usual routine. She climbed Mt. Seymour, then she did it and Cypress on the same day.

“It was super haphazard,” Bergen said of her training regime.

On the ride to Whistler, Bergen said she was enthralled when groups of cyclists working together would pass her.

“This is freaking cool,” she said.

“It’s sweet and fast and efficient.”

The experience fuelled Bergen’s competitive nature even further.

Through a spin class, she connected with a coach in Vancouver and started entering amateur races like the Tuesday night criterium races that used to circumnavigate a course out at the University of British Columbia and are now based in Burnaby.

Bergen said her learning curve was steep, but she absorbed a lot of information about training, race tactics and team dynamics from her teammates and competitors.

“That was the first time I’d been exposed to getting direction,” Bergen said, adding some of her mentors included Olympian Denise Ramsden and veteran pro racer Leah Guloien, who had experience in big-time women’s races in Europe like the Ladies Holland Tour and the Route de France.

“I’ve been fortunate to have really good people around me,” she

said.

Bergen said her naivety about the rigours of top-level bike racing probably worked in her favour. She said she was driven by a

It takes hard work, but that’s the one skill I can bring.

“reckless passion,” and an unflappable belief that she could succeed if she applied herself.

“It takes hard work, but that’s the one skill I can bring,” she said.

After learning her trade with smaller amateur teams, Bergen turned pro with Rally/UHC Cycling in 2017.That meant instead

of rubbing elbows with other racers in a tight, flat circuit around a Burnaby business park, she was hitting the road in multi-day races like the Santos Women’s Tour Down Under in Australia, the Tour of the Gila in New Mexico and the Amgen Tour of California.

“Once those things start coming, you get exposed to the bigger world of bike racing,” Bergen said.

Last week at the Canadian championships in Gatineau, Que., Bergen saw her one-year reign as criterium champion come to an end with a respectable fifth-place finish.

After BC Superweek, where Bergen aims to defend her Grand Prix title and fight for the top step of the podium in Port Coquitlam and Gastown, she is headed for Europe to compete in La Course, a one-day event organized by the

Amaury Sports Organization, the same company that puts on the Tour de France.

Bergen said the tight quarters of North American criterium racing are a good warmup for racing on the narrow roads of Europe, where positioning and timing can make or break a result.

But, she said, racing in front of a hometown crowd is special, especially when so much of her season is spent away from B.C. “It’s a bomb,” she said. “There’s a really fun undertone to it that now you’re racing in my backyard.”

• The New West Grand Prix begins July 9 with the New West kids’ prix at 4:45 p.m., followed by the youth race at 5:30 p.m.The pro women race goes at 6:15 p.m., while the men hit the 900-metre course at 7:30 p.m.

Return of Schuss, Crowley to bolster ’Bellies’ lineup Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

On a busy trade deadline weekend, the New Westminster Salmonbellies had a number of lines in the water but in the end chose to cut bait.

As general manager Dan Richardson sees it, those decisions could be the best result out of the past few days – well, besides welcoming a new family member.

Richardson spent the long weekend with

family in Las Vegas attending son Clayton’s wedding, monitoring the trade situation while handling his duties as the father of the groom.

While the team put its cards on the table, in the end the asking price proved to be more than Richardson and his staff were willing to pay. And while the optics, along with with twin losses that dropped them to fifth overall, don’t look great, Richardson said no deal is always better than a bad deal.

“We tried to make deals that would help

our club and not put a burden on the team long-term, but in the end the right offer wasn’t there,” Richardson told the Record from Vegas. “At one point we had four or five trade offers out there but in the end we decided we wouldn’t do trades where the cost exceeded the value we were getting.”

He also said that with the imminent return of 2018 Western Lacrosse Association scoring champion Logan Schuss, and re-appearance of Kevin Crowley, expected back in mid-July, the impact of those two players

would be equivalent to a major trade.

Still, sitting in fifth place at 5-5 with eight games to go, the squad is entering a critical phase where full 60-minute efforts are a must, as well as some out-of-town luck.

In Burnaby last Friday, the ’Bellies were caught in an offensive showdown that saw the two teams combine for 22 goals over the first 40 minutes, and came down to the last shot in overtime. Burnaby’s Zach Gould buried the ball past Alexis Buque 3:12 into Continued on page 26

Busy schedule keeps Ujfalusi on the go ’Bellies quiet NewWest cyclist returns from national competition to take on Superweek slate Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster’s Lilly Ujfalusi’s past year has produced a lot of tread wear and a good share of podium placings.

The teen is eagerly anticipating getting to climb Eighth Street grind again, coming off a sixth-place showing at last week’s junior women’s nationals in Beauce, Que. Peeling around the corners of Carnarvon and Sixth streets back onto Columbia is just like nature’s tall latte – a kick of adrenalin that leaves you thirsty for more.

Ujfalusi, 15, would like nothing better than to get back to the New West Grand Prix podium, where she finished second a year ago in the youth women’s criterium.

Whether it’s track, road or cyclocross, the New West Secondary student keeps on pedalling.

“It’s hard to say which of track and road I enjoy more or do better at, but generally, I like most whatever I’m doing at the moment,” said Ujfalusi in an email to the Record. “I have both good and bad races in both disciplines but also exceptionally great in both. I feel as though I have grown the most with my technical and tactical skills on the velodrome.”

In the past year she’s enjoyed peaks in both, as well as cyclocross. At the road and track nationals she finished with four med-

als, including silver in April in the under-17 women’s points series and elimination race.

Last year’s Superweek, which includes New West’s Grand Prix, resulted in two more podiums, while she’s enjoyed the challenge of cyclocross, competing in the elite division and at the Hayman Classic junior stage race.

Through it all, the softspoken teen has juggled her cycling passion and regular responsibilities with the usual growing pains.

“It’s pretty difficult trying to balance both school and cycling but not impossible.This past year, for Grade 10 I did online schooling to make travelling and training more manageable but I will return to NWSS in the fall,” she said. “Managing my time and everything in my life is definitely one of the biggest struggles for me with the sport.”

An important touchstone is her placement with her team at Cannondale pb Fortius, where she enjoys the camaraderie and support necessary to keep up a busy pace from race to race.

“While the cycling world and my training are constantly evolving, I have remained with the same team, Cannondale pb Fortius and most of my bikes, but have since gotten a new Cannondale cyclocross bike.”

The moments she gets to chill with friends or head out on a hike are a nice respite from her competitive schedule.

Ujfalusi says her biggest guilty pleasure is

slipping in some dark chocolate into her precise meal menu.

With next week’s Grand Prix circled on her calendar, Ujfalusi says it is part of a lengthy list of events that gets her motor running.

“The cycling events I’m looking most forward to are, for sure Superweek, some west cyclocross races and competing for the Canadian champion jersey.”

sudden death to give the Lakers a thrilling 14-13 victory, after New West had rallied with markers by Austin Shanks and Keegan Bal to force extra time.

Shanks, who was named the Western Lacrosse Association’s Player of the Week, finished with four goals and two assists, while Mitch Jones scored once and set up seven others. Bal finished with a four-point night, including two goals.

Less than a day later in a rare Saturday afternoon test at Queen’s Park, the visiting Victoria Shamrocks charged ahead with four straight goals in the second period en route to a 9-7 win.

Shanks scored three times in the loss.

Two straight losses to teams they’re chasing certainly didn’t help their cause, but Richardson feels it will be used as motivation for the next game.

“We’ve got the horses to get this done, especially if we play our game and don’t play down to the other team’s level,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with adversity; in fact, that’s where you find out where you stand, by how you respond. I’m certain we’re going to bounce right back.”

New West’s next test is Thursday when they host Burnaby, 7:30 p.m. at Queen’s Park Arena. On Saturday, they visit Coquitlam (7 p.m.).
