City will buy its own Bailey Bridge New Westminster rejects province’s demands for a second bridge to Coquitlam BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster is doling out about $175,000 to install a temporary Bailey Bridge in the Braid industrial area after rejecting the province’s demands. The city had been in talks with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure about borrowing one of its bridges so it could reopen the crossing. “The city had been working with the province and thought we had an arrangement where we were going to be able to use the provincial bridge,” said Coun. Jonathan Cote. “It was a shock to the city that all of a sudden new conditions were placed on that bridge.” In anticipation of the bridge’s arrival, the city spent more than $30,000 in materials and equipment. Transportation Minister Todd Stone informed the city on May 8 that the ministry would provide a single-lane replacement bridge at no cost to the city, provided that New Westminster agree to a second temporary single-lane bridge being installed at the site. The city responded by asking the ministry to provide a single, temporary bridge immediately so it could reopen access at the location ◗Bridge Page 4

Not impressed: Coun. Jonathan Cote is disappointed with the conditions imposed by the province about plans to borrow a Bailey Bridge. He said that accepting the province’s conditions would have compromised the city’s position in the arbitration process that’s underway.

Theatre member shot during cycling event BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

An annual cycling event turned violent after one of the participants was shot in an incident Mounties are calling “unusual.” Craig Premack was participating in an annual 600-kilometre cycling event from Pitt Meadows to Cache Creeek and back, organized by the B.C. Randonneurs Cycling Club. By 1 a.m. on Sunday, Premack had made it more than halfway through the ride and was nearing a control stop in Spences Bridge.

The avid cyclist, runner and set designer for New Westminster’s Vagabond Players was about three kilometres south of Spences Bridge when a suspect in an unidentified pickup truck shot him. Lytton RCMP were dispatched to the scene, where they found Premack in serious condition. According to Const. Kris Clark of the RCMP Southeast District, Premack’s injuries were serious but not life threatening. He is expected to make a full recovery. He was taken to a local hospital where he remains in stable condition. While police are in the initial stages of their investigation, Clark said the incident does not

appear to be targeted. Investigators are still searching for witnesses and at this time do not have a description of the suspect’s truck. Clark said nothing like this has happened in the area before, adding that it’s an unusual incident for any area. The area Premack was riding through when he was shot is somewhat populated but the highway, which is surrounded by rolling hills and rocky low bushes, is mainly a rural valley road, Clark said. Anyone with any information is asked to call Craig Premack the Lytton RCMP at 250-455-2225.

On the hunt for dog owner

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A New Westminster man is barking mad at being blocked from getting the identity of a man whose dogs attacked his pooch. Mike Henderson said his wife had taken their mini schnauzer Karma to the off-leash park at Hume Park a few months ago when the incident occurred. “Our dog was attacked, along with another dog,” he said. “The guy ran away. His dogs were pretty vicious.” At the vet’s office, Karma needed to be sedated and received stitches to her face and back. “I was lucky my dog was alive,” Henderson said. “My wife was screaming about my dog getting attacked. One bite almost could kill our little dog – we got lucky.” Making the incident even more distressing was the fact that the man didn’t call his dogs and try to stop the attacks and didn’t apologize or offer to help in any way, even though it was obvious Karma was injured. Henderson reported the incident to New Westminster Animal Control Services, which investigated the attack and, with Karma’s owner’s help, identified the man. “I said, ‘Tell me who he is so I can take him to court and recover my losses,’” he said. “I want to sue him. I want him to stand in court and pay for his cowardice.” The city, however, wouldn’t give Henderson the man’s name, even though his wife had identified him through a photo that staff had emailed her. “I thought part of them finding out was me being able to take this guy to civil court,” Henderson said. “I am quite shocked that that is a no-go. They wouldn’t tell me anything.” Sukh Maghera, the city’s coor-

Hearing of the man’s description from Karma’s owners, she went through her records, searched his name on the Internet and found an image. “We did try to serve the ticket but it was not served successfully,” he said of the man who doesn’t live in New Westminster. “We do try to exhaust our avenues. We can usually find people but in this case we haven’t been able to.” Maghera said he has no reason to doubt the Henderson’s account of what happened in the park, otherwise the city would never have pursued charges.

subpoena or have the courts give a court order to get that information, then they could,” she said. “We can’t release that person’s information because it is private information to that person. They would have to go through the courts.” If successful in getting money through small claims court, Henderson said he would donate the money to a guide dog charity that he supports. “This is not a money thing. It’s the principle of the thing,” he said. “I want to take him to small claims court and make him pay for his cowardice.” Maghera said he’s only heard of one other case where someone took a dog owner to small claims court to recoup costs for injuries to an animal.

had been pursuing charges of dog causing serious injury, which carries a $250 fine. “A minor injury is essentially anything that doesn’t puncture the skin,” he said. “Once it punctures the skin it is considered serious.” Maghera said the man may have been issued a warning ticket for having his dog off-leash but had no previous offences in New Westminster. Jan Gibson, the city’s acting director of legislative services, said Section 22 of the Freedom of Information/Protection of Privacy Act prevents the city from releasing the dog owner’s name, as that’s considered personal information to the person who owns the dog. “If that person (Henderson) would go to court and have a

and to postpone a decision on an additional bridge until an arbitrator renders a decision, but never heard back from the province. The ministry confirmed Stone had received the letter from city, but said the minister’s original offer still stands. In an email to The Record, the ministry stated that its offer is still available and conditional on New Westminster agreeing to install a second temporary single-lane bridge to allow for “critical” two-way traffic flow. Jim Lowrie, the city’s director of engineering, said the city has sourced another temporary bridge and has taken steps to have it prepared and ready for installation. It’s expected that the bridge, which is coming from Ontario, will be open in two to three weeks. Lowrie estimates the temporary

New West woman charged in stabbing BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

A 42-year-old New Westminster woman is in custody following a domestic incident on Sunday evening. According to police, officers were called to a home in the 500 block of Brantford Street, between Sixth and Seventh streets in uptown, around 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. New Westminster police had received a report that a man had been stabbed at the home and when officers arrived on scene they found the victim “suffering from a stab wound to his head and covered in blood,” a press release from the department noted. The victim, a 44-year-old New Westminster man who was in a relationship with the suspect, was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he received six stitches for the gash in his head, the release

added. Neighbours in a nearby apartment building told The Record they had seen a man with a head wound on a stretcher outside the home on Sunday evening. They also noted police blocked off Brantford Street for much of the evening and remained on scene until about 11 p.m. Police arrested New Westminster resident Melanie L. Campbell at the scene and Crown counsel has since approved three charges against her, including assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and assault. The third assault charge stems from an attack against the same victim that happened on Saturday, which was never reported. Campbell will remain in custody until her next court appearance on June 4 (today) in New Westminster. For updates on this story, go to www.royalcityrecord.com

to just sneak into a house to steal whatever is at hand – or, in some cases, to assault those living inside. Each year, police and safety organizations issue warnings reminding people to be cautious about doors and windows, urging people to keep things secure. We know: it’s easier said than done when the temperatures are sneaking past 30. It gets unbearably warm sometimes. (Well, unbearable for B.C., at any rate. It’s not exactly subtropical jungles here, after all.)

Unless you’ve got air conditioning, chances are good you’ve left your door open during the day or cracked a window at night, in hopes of catching a little breeze to ease the heat. So, be cautious. Pick up an extra fan (before they’re all sold out midway through a heat wave) and double check your windows and doors. Cooling down just isn’t worth the theft – or serious injury – that can occur from carelessness. So enjoy the season, but keep your homes and families safe at the same time.

Taking stock in the state of Victoria IN THE HOUSE

KEITH BALDREY

he end of the legislature session allows us to take stock of our MLAs, our political parties and the political scene in general. Who emerged as key players? Which issues resonated with the public? The B.C. Liberals continued to exude confidence – even cockiness – throughout the session as its MLAs still ride high in the saddle after their unexpected new lease on political life being granted them by the voters last year. Premier Christy Clark has gone from being derided as “premier photo-op” for insisting on being front and centre in everything her government was doing, to being a hands-off leader willing to delegate all kinds of responsibilities to those around her. She is also very clearly the leader of her party and caucus, and continues to be their star performer in the legislature (although she has continued her disdain for the place, usually only attending the session two days a week). It also became even more clear in this past session that

the “quarterback” of the B.C. Liberals is Finance Minister Mike de Jong. As the government house leader he controlled the legislature’s proceedings and acted as a calming presence for his side when things got a little raucous. Of the veterans on the government side, Energy Minister Bill Bennett has gone from being banished from Gordon Campbell’s government to being a major force under Clark. And it is evident that Jobs Minister Shirley Bond, Environment Minister Mary Polak and LNG Minister Rich Coleman are key lieutenants to the premier. Of the newcomers, Transportation Minister Todd Stone stood out as perhaps the ablest performer in the house, as he time and again swatted away NDP attacks on his reductions to some B.C. Ferry route sailings or on his plans for transit and transportation in Metro Vancouver. After a bit of a shaky start, Attorney-General Suzanne Anton seemed to steady herself and emerged stronger at the end of the session than at the beginning. And Technology Minister Andrew Wilkinson displayed a demonstrable ability to really get under the skin of NDP MLAs, thus pretty well ensuring he may get a higher profile portfolio sooner than later. On the NDP side, things weren’t quite as rosy.

Dear Editor:

I was reading a letter to the editor about the teacher’s strike in the May 30 edition (re: Teachers show disrespect, The Record, Letters to the Editor.) The writer said something like “(teachers are) entrusted with the welfare and development of our future generations.” I thought that was the job of the parents and family. When has all this ‘child raising’ been transferred to teachers? Educational development of children happens at home, in the community, on television, on a sports team and more. Teachers are a part of it. The government has done some mean moves. Imagine that you are told that you cannot go to ◗Politics Page 7 work early, have to leave the school property at

Imagine that you, as the boss, will be making one million a day, saving on wages and $4 million-plus a week, due to support services not going to work.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letter misses the mark Dear Editor:

Mr. Palmer, in his commentary in the May 30/14 edition of The Record (Teachers show disrespect, Letters to the Editor), starts his lengthy remarks by stating: “The stand they’ve (teachers) taken is selfish, self serving and disrespectful towards students and the people of B.C.” He finishes by stating: “Let’s move forward in a positive and conciliatory manner and be realistic about what is important and reasonable for the benefit of all.” It appears that he believes that the only problem is with the above described teachers. Successful negotiators would never be successful if they were to begin negotiations with those types of insulting com-

is now accepting

ments. It should be noted that Mr. Palmer did not list any specifics, only generalizations. Among other things, Mr. Palmer neglected to note that the Supreme Court of British Columbia ruled twice in favour of the B.C. teachers with regard to class sizes, which of course is one of the major negotiating points. Furthermore, at the same time, the Supreme Court awarded the B.C. Teachers’ Federation damages of $2 million. Therefore, one must guess that Mr. Palmer has no regard for the decisions of the Supreme Court of B.C. What a pity that Mr. Palmer believes it is all the fault of the teachers. So much for “move forward in a positive and conciliatory manner etc.”

Politics: Challenges for NDP in last session of the legislature ◗ continued from page 6

The caucus is slowly coming out of its nearcoma like state that enveloped it for so long after the party’s devastating election loss, and some veteran MLAs often looked like they would have liked to have been anywhere other than the legislature. The party’s leadership problem was a major distraction for most of the session, and helped suck the energy out of the caucus. The inevitable choice of John Horgan as leader came too late in the session to have much of an impact on things. The caucus didn’t garner much media coverage during the session, which isn’t that unusual in the first year of a government’s mandate. The NDP rarely broke new ground on many issues, and often offered predictably negative

responses to anything the government did. Question period, the prime vehicle to get public attention, often consisted of NDP MLAs asking questions about issues or stories that were weeks old or had already received widespread attention. And so QP, so vital a tool to an Opposition party, often became a nonevent. There was the odd exception, of course. Most notable was the NDP’s focus on the “claw back” of child support payments to women on disability assistance. The party made credible arguments about the unfairness of the government’s policy, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some positive changes occur as a result. Two pieces of legislation stood out: one to allow a transit referendum in Metro Vancouver and

the other to divide the Agriculture Land Reserve into two zones, with one of them having more potential for development of farmland. The NDP chose the ALR bill as the hill to die on, and the session ended in acrimony and bitterness (for some) as the bill inevitably passed into law. It was a fitting issue on which to end the session, since the ALR legislation neatly framed a crucial difference between the two parties, as the changes it allows will likely be more popular in the Interior and the North, two areas the NDP is increasingly having trouble connecting with. And so the legislature now sits quiet until October, when the politicians return and the shouting begins anew. I can’t wait! Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

City ofﬁcer injured

A New Westminster police officer is in hospital after he was injured while making an arrest in Surrey on Thursday. The officer, whose name will not be disclosed at this time, was on loan to the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) as an investigator. According to New Westminster police, sometime on Thursday, the officer was in pursuit of a suspected car thief when his car collided with another vehicle. The officer managed to survive the crash unscathed but when he went to arrest the suspect he injured his leg. “The New West member ended up injuring his leg while trying to arrest the suspect,” Sgt. Diana McDaniel told The

Record. “I don’t know the exact nature of his injuries but he is in hospital – he’s at a local area hospital – and he’s going to be for the next few days.” McDaniel said he is in stable condition at this time and is expected to make a full recovery. “He’s going to be OK, it’s just he’s going to be in the hospital for the next few days still, before he’s released,” she added. A 24-year-old man has been arrested and charges are pending. The incident is unrelated to a breakand-enter and shooting that took place on King George Boulevard in Surrey on Thursday. – Cayley Dobie

Anvil: Weddings, conferences at centre ◗ continued from page 3

maxes out at about 500 people. Thanks to the centre’s adaptable spaces, each conference room within the centre can be changed to fit the specific size of any event. The main floor conference space, for example, can either host two separate conferences or one large event by removing the dividing wall. Touted as the centre of Metro Vancouver, Marling and her staff are counting on the facility’s design appeal to draw in events

throughout the fall and spring show seasons. “People will travel if there’s value in the centre,” she told the crowd. And value comes from the staff, from the design of the building itself, and from the amenities it can provide, Marling added. “The building needs to be unique, it needs to be different, needs to be special. It’s definitely a spectacular venue from the design perspective. That attracts people to the venue - then you have to provide the service,” she said. “So

if you can’t get your ducks in a row on that front, then they won’t come back.” Marling is also looking to appeal to the wedding industry. With most of 2014 fully booked for conferences and events, she said the next step is to bring in weddings to fill the vacancies typically seen on weekends and throughout the summer.

On wings: Artist Jill Doyle with the new work she created for the Queen’s Park Care Centre. Doyle’s father was a resident at the facility.

Contributed/ THE RECORD

Artist donates work to local care facility Jill Doyle’s father was a resident at care centre

How does an artist say thank you? With art, of course. Local artist Jill Doyle found the perfect way to express her thanks to Queen’s Park Care Centre for their care of her father – she created original art. TheQueen’sParkHealthcareFoundation held a function May 2 to unveil the art – a large-scale display made up of four panels, each representing a meadow theme and emphasizing the butterfly. “It occurred to me that the Queen’s Park Care Centre is situated on land that was once part of a meadow,” Doyle explains in a press release. “I chose the idea of a meadow and butterflies because

it both connects to the past and speaks to the themes of transformation and renewal that are universal to almost every culture. Everyone understands the symbolism of butterflies.” Doyle noted that the care centre holds special meaning for her. “I wanted to give back to Queen’s Park Care Centre because my late father attended the adult day program there and our family, especially my mother, benefited so much from that program,” she explains. “The staff is amazing.” Doyle emphasized blue and green hues in her work, noting the calming effects those colours have on the central nervous system. “Colour has such a huge impact on mood – even one wall that is painted a bold colour can make a difference,” she says.

She notes that she had several aims with the art – she wanted the scale of the work to provide a visual focus for the large open area of the dining room, and she wanted the colours to be bright and uplifting for residents, staff and visitors. “It was especially important that the imagery in the paintings be accessible to those with perceptual or cognitive difficulties – this mean intense hues and simple, clearly defined forms,” she notes. “At the same time, I wanted the composition to have a level of complexity that would sustain attention. As an artist, I enjoyed exploring the idea of transparencies; the layering of images over pattern. “The goal is to be drawn to the familiar: the simple imagery of butterflies set against the colours of grass and sky; to be calmed, reflective and connected with

what you see.” Doyle is an artist, educator and author living in New Westminster. She studied graphic design and illustration as a young woman, but she found a more satisfying career in helping adults with physical and intellectual challenges to create art in therapeutic settings. For the past 15 years she has worked as a visual arts teacher and has created many collaborative murals with children around the Lower Mainland. The special unveiling event was attended by city councillors Bill Harper and Betty McIntosh, and Miss New Westminster Claire Dresselhuis. It also served as a chance to recognize the commitment of a core group of care centre volunteers – some of whom have been helping out for more than 15 years.

Street Festival Sapperton Day Street Festival’s 12th Year The 2014 Sapperton Day Street Festival is a nonproﬁt community event put together by the Sapperton Business Association with some help from both the McBride Sapperton Business Association and Wesgroup Properties. Sapperton was established in 1859 by the Royal Engineers, known as the Sappers, and Sapperton Days has been around since the early 1970s. This will be the 12th consecutive year for this event after returning from a short hiatus. All proceeds from the Festival are donated to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation. Funds from this year’s event will go toward critically needed equipment, as well as research and innovation at RCH to ensure the best medical standards for the future. Last year’s Festival contributed $13,000 to support their Breast Health Center Campaign goal. RCH cares for 1.6 million people (one in three British Columbians) from Burnaby to Boston Bar. A full 85% of

patients treated at RCH come from outside New Westminster. RCH is responsible for treating the most critically ill and injured patients in the province in the areas of child and adult trauma, cardiac and stroke care, aneurysms, high risk maternity and premature babies. Come join us to celebrate the beginning of summer. We will have bouncy castles, clowns, jugglers, games, live performances, mini-donuts, a pancake breakfast, rock climbing wall, vendors and much, much, more...

Message from the Events Organizer I am very pleased with how well this year’s committee worked together and want to thank them for their efforts. I believe that our hard work has made another notable year and I am conﬁdent that this year’s festival will be its best ever. I am very proud of the tradition that we have created and I believe that this is the best event in our entire city. It has brought together business and community and improved the livability of our community and city. We have worked hard at making this day very family friendly and affordable. While you take in the event please know that the money you spend on much of the food and kids activities is going directly to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation as a charitable donation. I look forward to seeing you there. Guy Ciprian Event Manager

Westfall Mountain (3:00pm)

Matthew De Simone (2pm)

Mike Mountain and Bob Westfall are an original folk-rock group having a slight country music edge. Together since the winter of 2009, the two soloists joined forces when they realized they were fans of each others’ music.

Matthew is a local resident and soon to be a graduate of Saint Thomas More Collegiate. He has recently become a solo artist after leaving his last band project. Matthew is no stranger to the stage as he recently costarred in a local production of Reserve two for murder.

Mike and Bob are frequent entertainers at the Heritage Grill with notable performances at the Railway Club and a one day tour of Gambier Island for a Cancer beneﬁt.

His music styling has been compared to Jason Mraz.

Mike was born and raised in New Westminster and is proud to have the opportunity to perform at this year’s Sapperton Day.

City teen in top 20 CLASS ACT

NIKI HOPE

New Westminster resident is one of the recipients of this year’s Top 20 Under 20 Award. Alexandra (Ola) Lemanowicz, 18, received the award for developing Operation Med School, which she created to introduce high school students to the field of medicine and help them make informed decisions about their careers. Ola has wanted to become a doctor since age three, according to a press release. Her passion for health care has fueled volunteer work with elders and an internship with the Rare Genomics Institute, where she helped create a database of more than 300 diseases for affected families. At age 15, Ola noticed a lack of resources to help students decide whether they should pursue careers in medicine. To fill the

gap, she created Operation Med School. More than 200 students attended the initial conference in 2013, the release states. In the two years since, OMS has raised $1,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and hosted conferences in Vancouver and Toronto, with plans for Montreal and Ottawa in future years. Sponsored in part by RBC Foundation, the Top 20 Under 20 Awards recognize young people across the country for their exceptional leadership, innovation and achievement. They will celebrate the accomplishments of the 20 young Canadians at an awards breakfast on Thursday, June 5 in Toronto.

Play it again

John Robson Elementary – soon to be École Qayqayt Elementary – is looking for more ways to play. The new elementary school, being built on the former Saint Mary’s Hospital site and slated to open in September, is once again in the running for another contest in the hopes to grab a grant of

upwards of $20,000. “We have decided to submit an application on behalf of the community playground at Qayqayt since we are still about $60,000 short of our funding needs,” says an email from Ronda Field, a parent from the school who is on the playground committee. “Despite the short timelines, we are hopeful that we can again mobilize this great community and get voters. But we need your help.” The first voting period (qualification round) started last week, and the parents expect to find out if their school moves forward early this week (after press deadlines), though Field says the odds are very good. If the project does move forward to the final round, the public can vote from June 9 to 16. Winners will be announced on June 23. To vote for the local project, visit www. Vote4Robson.com.

Coueffin began working for the health department in 1980 as a public health inspector and served as the chief public health officer from 1990 to 1996. “I would like to say that the city really has treated me extremely well. It’s an organization I am very proud to have worked for,” he said. “I have had the opportunity to work with a lot of amazing people. The city is a very good employer. I feel very fortunate.” During his three decades with the city, Coueffin was involved with complex files such as drug and nuisance behaviours, bylaw enforcement, smoking control bylaws, liquor licences, marijuana dispensaries and problematic properties and businesses that generated negative impacts to the city,

Coueffin was the lone employee of the New Westminster health unit that moved into city hall when the unit was transferred to the Fraser Health. In 1999, Coueffin was appointed the assistant director of strategic services and in 2006 he was named the manager of licensing and integrated services. “A lot of the work I did had to deal with coordinating actions of a number of groups or parties to

That’s been very satisfying.” As an example, Coueffin said the city developed a comprehensive strategy to help deal with drug and nuisance activities in the downtown. He said one of the creative actions taken as part of that initiative was building a dog park in the downtown to create positive traffic flow and bring positive activity to the area as opposed to leaving it open and void. Coueffin recalls working with former city staffer Brian Coates and others to devise a way to deter graffiti on the city’s traffic control boxes. “It’s really quite satisfying for me to go around

Schools: Dogs lend a paw in classroom ◗ continued from page 19

The school is getting regular visits from their four-legged friends from Pacific Assistance Dogs Society. Principal Patty Farris told the board of education about the program, which pairs kids and dogs in

the classroom, at a recent school board meeting. She told school trustees that “the dogs are nonjudgmental listeners who help to calm our students while reading. The students love the dogs and they are part of our learning community.”

Pacific Assistance Dogs Society is a non-profit organization that trains assistance dogs for people with disabilities other than blindness. Have an item for Class Act? Send it to reporter Niki Hope at nhope@royalcity record.com.

Hyacks make high school history

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

A small band of Hyack athletes made New Westminster Secondary School history, winning the B.C. high school track and field championships on Saturday. The 10 New West performers – including outstanding female athlete of the meet 15-year-old junior Nina Schultz and double-gold sprint champion Raquel Tjernagel –garnered 89 total points to nip defending titlist and 10-time champion Oak Bay by a single point in aggregate team scoring at the 47th annual provincial meet in Langley. For Schultz, who was almost casual after being named the meet’s top female, hearing her school’s name called as the girls’ aggregate and overall banner winners was a thrill. “Oh my God, we won,” Schultz exclaimed as she excitedly jumped up to help accept the championship banners. “We won the banners. It’s actually awesome.” Schultz is the first athlete from New Westminster to be named most outstanding female athlete and just the third Royal City performer to ever win the meet’s top perfomer since long-distance runner Jeff Schiebler in 1991 and Scott Nielson, who swept the weight throw events, in 1974 and ’75. Tjernagel, who won both the senior girls’ 100 and 200 metres in personal best times, was equally satisfied with the history-

The talented pair shared in earning six individual and relay gold medals for New West. A week earlier, Schultz won the girls’ heptathlon in the combined events championships in Abbotsford. She then set personal bests at the Langley meet with a 1.75m leap in the high jump and an 11.66m triple jump.

Jr. ’Bellies win shootout at QPk corral BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

It was the wild, wild west at Queen’s Park Arena on Sunday. The junior A New Westminster Salmonbellies were the last team standing following a 16-13 shootout win over the visiting Victoria Shamrocks at Queen’s Park Arena on Sunday. New West came out with all guns blazing, firing more than 71 shots at the Victoria cage. Johnny Pearson scored his first of four goals in the game, wiring the game-opener past Charles Claxton at 40 seconds of the first period. But Matt Hamilton quickly returned fire, notching his first two of three goals and the shoot-

out was on in earnest. Victoria led 6-5 after the opening salvo and both teams were deadlocked at 9-9 heading into the final frame. But nothing changed in the third. Alex Bohl started off the period with an excellent transition goal, fighting off a Victoria defender all the way down the floor to score shorthanded. But the ’Rocks still had plenty of ammunition left, tying the contest on two separate occasions until Pearson notched the game-winner on a quick reply to McLean Chicquen’s fourth of the game midway through the third period. Luke Gillespie, who scored a brilliant goal in the middle frame with a series of spinning moves, tallied an equally clever counter

to register a career-high fifth of the game minutes later. “We just kept going back and forth. Neither team could really take off until we got those last three,” said Gillespie. “I definitely took a lot of shots I probably shouldn’t have. We definitely got to gear up for (Delta).” Claxton was kept busy stopping 55 Salmonbellie shots in the game, while New West keeper Ross Bowman struggled, stopping just 26 of 39 Victoria chances. Connor Robinson and Anthony Malcom, in his first game of the season, both collected a pair of goals for the home team. Jeremy Bosher, Chris Nasato and Bohl also had multi-point outings. The win drew New West

to within a point of first-place Coquitlam. Delta is currently tied with the Salmonbellies with 16 points each, but New West holds three games in hand on the Ladner club. “Teams are still pretty even,” said Gillespie. “We had a tough game with Burnaby, we lost to Delta, and we had a tough game with these guys. … The team that gets it will definitely have to work for it.” New West played the Delta Islanders on Tuesday (after Record deadlines). The juniors are in Port Coquitlam on Friday and in Nanaimo on Sunday. For a video report on Sunday’s game, go to www.royalcityrecord. com/sports and click on story.

Alexis Buque made his first New Westminster Salmonbellie start a memorable one. The first-year goaltender from Whitby, Ont. faced 45 total shots, stopping all 13 in the third period to help lead the senior A ’Bellies to an 11-8 win over the Burrards in Maple Ridge on Sunday. On Thursday, Buque got his first feel of Western association lacrosse when he was brought in relief of starter Neil Tyacke late in the second period of what turned out to be a 12-11 loss in overtime to the visiting Burnaby Lakers. Trailing 10-6 at the time, Buque gave New West a lift, allowing just one goal for the remainder of regulation and time for the ’Bellie shooters to find the range on former teammate Tyler Richards in the Burnaby cage. Eric Lewthwaite sent the game into extra time with a goal in the final minute, but ex-Salmonbellie junior Tyler Digby scored the game-winning goal in OT with a cut to the middle and a sure finish. In Maple Ridge, transition player Jeff Cornwall had a highlight night, scoring four times, including three straight counters in the final period that broke open an 8-8 stalemate after two periods. Richard Lachlan and Logan Schuss both recorded four-point games for New West. The win elevated the Salmonbellies into a threeway tie for second place with Maple Ridge and the 2-0 Burnaby Lakers. “I’m happy with the compete level. The energy and attitude is positive,” said first-year Salmonbellie captain Curtis Hodgson. “For me to be captain is a huge honour. I’m a teacher and like to mentor, and be a part of the culture in this room. It’s our 125th year. There is so much pride and tradition, … I just want to do the things I know to bring success to this team.” New West hosts Victoria on Thursday at 7:45 p.m. To view a video of the Thursday game, go to www. royalcityrecord.com/sports.

STM girls settle for bronze at AA soccer provincials BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

A hot goalkeeper may have cost the St. Thomas More Knights a shot at gold at the B.C. high school AA girls’ soccer championships in Penticton. The Knights had the better of the play against Lambrick Park in the semifinal crossover match but struggled to get a ball past the Victoria netminder, falling 1-0 on penalty kicks to the eventual provincial runner-up. “It shouldn’t have been, but their goalie played unbelievably,” said STM coach Doug Corbett. “I think we played the nicest soccer. No one could move the ball like we did.” The Knights went on to claim the bronze medal following a 3-2 victory over Nanaimo District in another shootout in the consolation final. Alessia Mastromonaco and Carly Cody got the goals in regulation time for the Knights.

STM topped Pool B with a 3-0 record, opening the tournament with a 2-1 win over Duchess Park from Prince George and then a 3-1 victory over Valleyview from Kamloops. Kassia Hayek and Stephanie von Riedemann scored in the tournament-opening win. Cody, Hayek and Mastromonaco all tallied in the win over Valleyview. The Knights ensured themselves a topfour finish on Friday with a 1-0 win over Sands on the game-winning goal by Maryn Lum-Tong. STM’s fifth-year senior Bridgette Ferrara was named to the commissioner’s XI. “I told the girls at the beginning of the year they had the talent to win it this year,” said Corbett. “We were hoping for a banner but we we can live with a third.” Princess Margaret won the championship final 3-2 over Lambrick Park. Jessie Olfert of Princess Margaret was named the tournament MVP, while Lambrick’s Emma Entzminger earned the Golden Boot with 10 goals.

First podium for sportscar racer Michael Valiante helped Spirit of Daytona Racing win its first podium of the season in the Tudor United Sportscar Championship in Detroit, Michigan last weekend. SDR co-driver Richard Westbrook qualified the Corvette Daytona Prototype on the pole at the 2.35-mile Belle Isle street circuit and Valiante set the early pace, leading the 32-car field for the opening 16 laps before he was slowed up by lapped traffic, allowing the eventual race winner – the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Chevy

– to sneak past. A full-course caution with just over an hour of racing left, allowed for a oneand-only pitstop and a driver change. Westbrook took advantage of contact between the two leading prototypes and slipped into second place, eventually taking the checkered flag just .207 seconds behind the Taylor Chevy. “Unfortunately I got caught up in traffic, … and that’s pretty much what determined the outcome of the race,” said Valiante in a team press release.

Says John P, a nutritionist from Phoenix, AZ. Some say, Garcinia Cambogia is going to put millions out of work. Referring to the countless jobs in the diet industry. But just think about the millions of lives that will be saved from sickness and disease that comes from being fat! Famous TV Heart Surgeon: This is the “Holy Grail for people with Weight problems!”

So exactly why is Garcinia Cambogia wowing the scientific community?

For one thing, it’s not another diet craze that’s in one day and out the other. It’s a remarkable substance derived from an amazing pumpkin shaped fruit grown in southeast Asia… But not just any variety of Garcinia will do. It has to be grown only in specific regions and cultivated under just the right conditions. The very best of the crop is “Garcinia Cambogia 2000”. Garcinia Cambogia wipes away fat so completely, that it has caught the attention of scientists and weight loss experts all over the globe. It works like nothing else seen before. Simply take as directed and eat reasonably. You can almost see your excess fat melt off your body. It’s just that effective! Experts predict, the data is so compelling... “Weight-loss centers could be forced to shut down. Diet doctors could be out of business within 5-years.” “There just won’t be a need for them anymore,” he added.

Gastric Bypass in a Bottle

The real power of Garcinia Cambogia lies deep inside the fruit. It contains an ingredient called HCA (Hydroxycitric Acid) that melts fat away in the same way stomach stapling does. Johan Stifling, a leading scientist in Utrecht Holland says: “With Garcinia it doesn’t take much to fill you up. You’re just not hungry anymore. The compound absolutely kills uncontrollable urges to binge on food in just minutes after taking it. After just a few bites, you’ll feel stuffed to the gills. You’ll swear your stomach has shrunk.” The secret is its ability to inhibit Citrate Lyase Enzyme (the stuff that turns carbs into fat). HCA builds an

“impenetrable wall” so fat can’t get absorbed by your body… so you simply can’t gain weight. Then, the HCA breaks up the fat you already have and forces it out of your body. Think about it. A pill that stops fat from being made, as it obliterates the fat you already have. Incredibly, the pounds and inches just roll off you.

Not Just for the Wealthy

Until recently, only the rich, famous and powerful have been able to try Garcinia Cambogia. But now, for the first time ever, the manufacturer has made this revolutionary perfected Garcina Cambogia and made it available to the general public. They Call it Garcina Cambogia 2000. And since the country’s obesity rate is at an all-time-high; it couldn’t have come at a better time.

When you take Garcinia...”After just a few bites of your meal, you’ll feel stuffed to the gills.”– Johan Stiﬂing, Clinical Therapist
