Soccer plan strikes out with baseball Proposal would see Queen’s Park Stadium become home to pro soccer league

Play ball: Ron Suffron, left, president of New West Baseball, and his group have serious concerns about how a proposal to transform Queen’s Park Stadium into a dedicated soccer venue for a United Soccer Leagues PRO franchise will impact local baseball. At right is Brandon Howell, who plays on the New Westminster Twins.

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

New West Baseball has come out swinging against a proposal to transform Queen’s Park Stadium into a dedicated soccer venue that would become the home pitch for a United Soccer Leagues PRO franchise. Vancouver Whitecaps FC and the City of New Westminster have signed a memorandum of understanding marking their intent to look into the feasibility of launching the league – a U.S. men’s professional soccer league that is just below and supports Major League Soccer – in New West. But for Ron Suffron, president of New West Baseball, the offer might be “sexy,” but it’s not sensible. “They are pushing this thing through for a private enterprise without knowing what it’s going to cost (the city),” Suffron said. “If we have to move out because of the Whitecaps, the Whitecaps should have to foot the bill, that’s the bottom line, without unloading it onto the taxpayer.” Queen’s Park Stadium is one of a few fields that can accommodate evening games – an important factor in older youth sports and tournament play. It is also the only venue that can support evening skills training for the group’s Little League and B.C. Minor baseball players, according to New West Baseball. As well, the organization has raised approximately $60,000 to make upgrades to the field, Suffron said. “There’s a lot of kids that look up to that place as a place to play, and that’s their field of dreams,” Suffron said. “I think that’s a really good thing for the city to invest in their kids, and that’s money that you can’t put a price tag on.” Suffron said he received a supportive email from Major League Baseball all-star player Justin Morneau, who honed his skills playing ball as a youngster in New Westminster. The main concern for Suffron and others in New West Baseball is that they will be pushed out to make room for the soccer field.

Their goal is to start the new league franchise for the next season, which starts in March 2015. In order to meet the deadline, they need to have a commitment from the city by midSeptember. The city is also reviewing the benefits of hosting the soccer league and having the field, which has the support of Royal City Youth Soccer Club. “Another piece of our work is doing an impact study that talks about (it) both from a financial, social and community development perspective,” Gibson said. New West Baseball plans to rally against the proposed changes to Queen’s Park Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 23 from noon to 3 p.m. at the stadium.

Day camps, activities being planned if strike continues City waits before ﬁnalizing programming BY CHRISTINA MYERS REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

With Labour Day looming and no end in sight for the ongoing teachers’ strike, local kids could be out of the classroom for a few more weeks – leaving some parents scrambling for ways to keep them busy. Staff at New Westminster’s parks and recreation department are putting preliminary plans

in place to offer daytime programming – day camps similar to those that run through July and August – should the strike continue into September. “It’s very much wait and see right now,” said Dean Gibson, director of the parks and recreation department. “What we’re assessing right now is how things are developing. … We’re keeping an eye on it and we’ll be making some decisions (in the coming week).” Gibson noted the city set up additional programming during the rotating strike action before summer, and had minimal

uptake, but once the labour action moved to full school closures, the programs were very popular. Summer day camps and activities tend to get full registration. “Local residents seem to really enjoy our programs and take full use of them,” he said. He said parents can call local community centres, check out the City Page, or go to the parks website at www.newwestpcr.ca. In neighbouring Burnaby, the parks and recreation department there is also in a holding pattern as they wait to put plans into place closer to the start

of September. The Burnaby Village Museum, however, has already posted two series of day camps, with optional extended hours if needed. Last week, longtime labour mediator Vince Ready agreed to meet with both sides. More than 40,000 teachers in B.C. have been on full strike since June 17.

Stanley Cup returns to city

LAST CHANCE! Extended offer on until March 28th February 28th

BY TEREZA VERENCA REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Get your camera ready. The Stanley Cup makes an appearance in New West this week. The trophy will be on display tomorrow (Thursday) at the Glenbrook Fire Hall between 3:15 and 6 p.m. This is the third time Bill Ranford, local resident and L.A. Kings goalie coach, is bringing the cherished silver chalice to the Royal City. In 2012, it was shown at Queen’s Park and at Moody Park Arena in 2004. Donations are encouraged, with proceeds going to the Firefighters’ Charitable Society and Honour House. “This is also about giving back to the community. Honour House is really a home away from home for first responders and their families who need a place to stay while receiving medical treatment,” said Tim Armstrong, New West fire chief. Armstrong said his squad is also throwing a barbecue and will have the 1929 Mack fire truck parked out front. “Not only will you get a history lesson of the Stanley Cup, but of the fire department too. Come down, have a hot dog and get your picture taken,” he said.

OUR VIEW

So we have to give kudos to the government after hearing today’s announcement from Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett that two reviews will be carried out in response to the dam failure: first, that three independent experts will investigate the dam breach at Mount Polley mine and, second, that all mines with tailings dams will be required to have independent experts carry out reviews of their facilities and submit their findings to the government. Media reports over the last week have noted that routine inspections at mines

in B.C. are significantly lower than they were in 2001, the year the B.C. Liberals won a landslide election. We hope that while all these independent investigations on Mount Polley and other mines are being carried out, Victoria takes a moment to “investigate” itself and reconsider the frequency of inspections it carries out. Another dam failure could be a massive environmental disaster, and deadly to boot. But not working hard enough right now to prevent such a thing will surely prove to be a political disaster, too.

Protect the PNE before it’s lost IN THE HOUSE

KEITH BALDREY

ne of B.C.’s grandest and most historic traditions is up and running again, but it’s not entirely clear how long it can keep going. I’m talking about the Pacific National Exhibition, a 17-day whirlwind of entertainment that combines midway rides, livestock exhibitions, concerts, exhibits of all shapes and sizes and way too much food. But the annual fair faces mounting pressures as time goes on. It is essentially a throw-back to earlier times, when it was the only big event in town. It began as an agriculture fair, located on the distant outskirts of the young town of Vancouver (its east side location was fairly remote when it began in 1910). Over the years, it evolved into a major entertainment destination and a significant cultural event that celebrated the idea of British Columbia itself. For years, school children in the Lower Mainland got a major prize with their final school report card of the year: a free ticket to the PNE (this year, kids under 13 get in free). And so for decades, the PNE

was a big deal. Visiting the fair was a tradition for thousands of families, who would arrive early in the day and leave late at night, exhausted from seeing and trying everything, from riding the midway to watching the demolition derby, the Festival of Forestry, livestock shows and, of course, eating in the Food Building. The famous Challenger Map of B.C. was located there for years, as was the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame. This is where the annual Boat Show, Auto Show and Home Show got their starts. The entertainment was legendary. Huge stars appeared: Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Neil Young and, of course, The Beatles. But, over the years, the PNE found itself looking a bit aged, a corny piece of the past that seemed overtaken by newer, faster and more varied forms of entertainment. It had become a period piece and its nostalgic charm wasn’t enough to make it the dominant event of the year anymore. Still, the fair has survived and this year hundreds of thousands of people will walk through its gates, which is a testament to its endurance and the widespread public support for it. However, recent years have seen the emergence of all kinds of neighbouring communitybased festivals and celebrations and they pose direct competition to the PNE.

Dear Editor:

Driver gets five-year suspension for woman’s death, The Record, Aug. 15. The sentence for causing a fatal and senseless tragedy is as shocking as it is surprising! It has been said that “there was no mention in the charge of it being a fatality,” and that the mother “had been told by police that if it were up to them (the suspect) would have been charged criminally along with (more) numerous traffic offenses.” Unfortunately (in the opinion of some), the decision is entirely up to Crown counsel. Why were no criminal charges laid? Why was this tragic accident not seen as caused by negligence? Why is the real factor of causing death not even mentioned in the charges? Is the fact that the ◗PNE Page 7 accident caused death thought to be immaterial?

Does the surprise decision imply that no negligence was committed at all? If not negligence, then what is the factor? Another allegation that makes no sense to some is that “Follack was … on Sixth Avenue pointed west toward the Royal City Centre mall” before he turned left. This contradicts the impression of many people that the accident happened on the north side of the intersection, when Gemma had been running from Safeway (well known to be on the north side) in an attempt to catch a northbound bus. It does not seem plausible that the accident was on the south side or that the bus was southbound. Was the car pointed east, away from the mall, when it made the sudden (and tragic) left turn to the north? Something is radically wrong in this society, involving the law and the present system. Many feel that the decision to lay no criminal charges was

a mistake. Perhaps there is some specific reason for it, but nothing has been said, and Crown counsel’s decision should perhaps be open to question, at least in a democratic society. If not, why not? Would another Crown counsel have laid criminal charges? If there is some legal complication in the law preventing this, there should be changes in the law. If such a change is “impossible,” which would allow the police authorities to make the decision or strong recommendations which would carry more weight, if not pressure, then what could prevent an arbitrary counsel from refusing to charge for any reason or for no reason? That is a real problem in this already troubled society with a broken legal system. Terry Hilmar, New Westminster

Keep the stadium, please Dear Editor:

I read with interest the Whitecaps’ proposal for Queen’s Park Stadium and question why they need the only first-class baseball diamond in the area. To change it from baseball to a soccer field is not needed, as there are two other

New Westminster possibilities in Queen’s Park alone: 1. The city of New Westminster recently built a very nice soccer field right below the arena and all it would need is washrooms and stands (or bleachers) and it would be ready to go. 2. South below the baseball stadium there is a large area of land suitable for a soccer field and all they have to do is build around it to their needs. Queen’s Park Stadium is used by a large number of good quality baseball teams and we should never lose the baseball option for New Westminster. Let’s say the Whitecaps take the stadium, cut it up and change it for their use only. A year or two later they may find that the attendance did not make it worthwhile for them to stay in New Westminster and they leave us with a broken down stadium. The city then will be responsible for renovating and/or changing it back to a baseball field, or maybe not all is lost, they could make it into a dog park! I have nothing against soccer and/or the Whitecaps coming to New Westminster but I would request that they leave our baseball field as it is. Earl Marshall, New Westminster

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Queen’s Park Stadium has significant heritage value Dear Editor:

While I support the refurbishment of Queen’s Park Stadium, as well as the continuation of its intended use of hosting high-level sport, I do not support one aspect of the current proposal: for the wooden stand on the stadium’s east side to be demolished. This wooden stand is built in the tradition of British pitched-roof grandstands, and has significant heritage value. While it is not currently listed or designated for heritage protection by the City of New Westminster, there are very few such stands remaining anywhere in Canada, and thus it should be protected

for the enjoyment of future generations. The stadium’s wooden stand is a miniature version of similar stands in the United Kingdom that are today protected by English Heritage and Historic Scotland. It resembles stands designed by renowned Scottish architect Archibald Leitch, who built the stadiums of such famous soccer clubs as Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea. Not many local people seem to (yet) appreciate it, but New Westminster has an absolute gem of historical sporting architecture in its midst. Rather than knocking down the wooden stand at Queen’s Park Stadium, it should be preserved, and the proposed new stadium stand should be built (in a complementary way) around it.

A second wooden stand previously existed in Queen’s Park Stadium’s outfield, but unfortunately it was torn down in 1979 to make way for additional playing-field space. That stand is gone forever, but we still have the opportunity to save the remaining wooden stand. One day this wooden stand could become an international tourism draw for what the British refer to as “groundhoppers” – those who visit stadiums to experience their character and aesthetic treasures. Are we seriously considering simply razing it to make way for an unexceptional modern structure? As the first incorporated city in British Columbia, New Westminster boasts a tremendous historical legacy. The preser-

vation of heritage architecture shouldn’t be limited to residential homes – heritage value exists in various city structures, including stadiums. Devon Rowcliffe, Vancouver

Suspect injured during altercation last week in city

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER

cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

A suspect sustained serious injury during a domestic disturbance call last week and now B.C.’s civilian-led police watchdog is investigating. According to a release from New Westminster police, officers were called to the 400 block of Garrett Street, just off Braid Street, at about 7 p.m. last Thursday following a report of a domestic disturbance at a home in the area. When officers arrived,

they found a man allegedly armed with a knife. The responding members deployed a conducted energy weapon, also known as a Taser, to apprehend the suspect and take him into custody, stated the release. During this time, however, the suspect sustained serious injury, which police say was self-inflicted, and he had to be taken to hospital for treatment. Less than 45 minutes after the initial call, New West officers contacted the Independent Investigations Office. Investigators from the civilian body were deployed to the scene at 7:43 p.m., added a release from the investigations office. At this time, no further

New Westminster police’s major crime section is, however, conducting a concurrent investigation and has charged the suspect, 28-year-old New West resident Christopher Lindsey Gilkin, with one count of possession of a dangerous weapon and two counts of disobeying a court order. He was in custody until his next court appearance on Aug. 25. As laid out in the Independent Investigations Office man-

Riding to honour 9-11 heroes BY TEREZA VERENCA REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

On Sept. 11, the Peace Arch border crossing will transform itself from a dividing line between two nations into a symbol of what unites them. “We’re celebrating those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, and the fact we’re truly children of the common mother; though we are separate countries, that’s just an imaginary line going through the 49th parallel,” says Howard Blank, the Canadian chair of the 9-11 Memorial Ride and Service. Hundreds of emergency services and military personnel from both sides of the border will converge at the Peace Arch in a motorcade of motorcycles, fire trucks, police cars and ambulances. Among them will be five first responders who worked at Ground Zero after the World Trade Centre attacks in 2001. They’ve been invited to attend the event to bring home the message that their neighbours to the north will always remember the sacrifices that were made that day. “We’ve been doing it for five years now, bringing people from across America,” says Blank. The organizing committee has been working hard to raise money to pay the five guests’ travel cost but still needs about $3,000 to pay the remainder of the flights. They’ve set up a crowdfunding campaign on FundAid.ca. If they exceed their fundraising goal, any extra money will be given to Honour House. The New West heri-

◗ FARMERS’ MARKET

Funding buys time for coupon program

FREEAPP

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR REPORTER cnaylor@royalcityrecord.com

A provincial program helping lowincome New Westminster seniors access healthy foods at the local farmers’ market got a $750,000 boost this week. The Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program provides coupons that can be used like cash at participating markets. Each week, until October, program participants receive $15 worth of coupons to buy locally grown fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, dairy, nuts and herbs. The government has already invested $4 million in the program provincewide since 2012, and another $750,000 in funding announced this month will keep it going beyond 2015. About 50 families and 30 seniors in New West participate in the program, including clients of the Seniors Services Society’s new Seniors to the Market program for low-income people 55 years and older. The B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets, which oversees the provincial program, allocates coupons to local partner groups, like the Seniors Services Society, based on their capacity to offer food-centred skill-building programs for participants. Seniors to the Market, for example, offers participants informative workshops while busing them from their doorsteps to the market. “I think this program is an amazing

Seniors to the Market participants shop for about an hour, with volunteers on hand to help pack groceries. Afterwards, the bus drops the shoppers off at their doorsteps. While the funding announced Monday will maintain rather than grow the local coupon program, B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets executive director Elizabeth Quinn hopes the extra time the

Church to commemorate signing

A New Westminster church will mark the 100th anniversary of the War Measures Act this Friday, joining 99 groups across the country. Holy Eucharist Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral will unveil an aluminum plaque commemorating the signing of the Act and a dark period in Canadian history that followed. During the First World War, while Canada was at war with Austria and Hungary, roughly 4,000

Ukrainian men, women and children of AustroHungarian citizenship were kept in internment camps between 1914 and 1920 under the terms of the Act. Germans, Serbians, Armenians and Croatians were also targeted. “Here are people who had been lured to Canada by freedom and free land and suddenly by a stroke of a pen found themselves as enemy aliens, not because of anything they did, but because of where they came from,” said Lubomyr

Luciuk, a member of the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Foundation. There were 24 internment camps at the time of the Great War. Plaques commemorating the signing of the Act will be unveiled at 11 a.m., starting in Amherst, N.S. and ending in Nanaimo, B.C. Made possible through a partnership between the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund and the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties

Foundation, the idea of the unveiling came a year ago from Luciuk. “This is to remind Canadians the Act was used to abrogate civil liberties and human rights three times in the 20th century,” he said. – By Tereza Verenca

Canada beats Haiti on PKs

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Three former Burnaby Girls club soccer players helped Canada to an international first. Canada’s under-15 girls’ national team, including Camila Gomez Hernandez, Julia Grosso and Emma Regan of Burnaby, defeated Haiti 4-1 on penalty kicks to win the inaugural CONCACAF championships on Sunday. The two previously unbeaten sides played to a 1-1 draw in regulation time, despite Canada outshooting the Caribbean Islanders 14-3 and holding a 4-1 edge on corner kicks in the title match at Truman Bodden

Sports Complex in Georgetown in the Cayman Islands. The two teams also drew 1-1 in a previous Group D game on Aug. 11. Haiti’s top scorer Nerilia Mondesir opened the scoring on a steal in the offensive zone, firing home her sixth goal of the tournament, in the 37th minute. Mondesir, 15, shared the Golden Boot as the tournament’s top scorer with Chelsea Green of the Cayman Islands. Tournament MVP Sarah Stratigakis tallied the equalizer for Canada in the 64th minute, heading in a cross from Shana Flynn that beat Haitian keeper Magdala Macean.

Macean did well to repel later chances from Anyssa Ibrahim and Lauren Raimondo. Nahida Baalbaki also rattled a shot off the post on a free kick opportunity, while Mya Jones also came close, clipping a shot on goal off the top of the crossbar on a long-range effort. In the shootout, Canada keeper Lysianne Proulx stopped two Haitian attempts from the penalty spot. Canada scored on all four of its opportunities, including Samantha Chang’s eventual championship winner. Stratigakis, Flynn and Jordyn Huitema also scored in the shootout.

CORRECTION: On August 8th, our organisation placed a letter in this newspaper stating our opposition to the proposal that Queens Park Stadium be transformed into a facility that will house a USL Division 1 soccer team. In that document, we erroneously stated that the City had approached the Vancouver Whitecaps FC with the plan. City representatives have since informed us that the reverse is true. The executive of New West Baseball apologise for the error, our intention was to inform the public, not misinform. Regardless of who approached whom, our opposition to the plan remains unchanged: cost questions remain unanswered, youth and community sports teams will need to relocated and community events annually held in the Stadium are at risk of being lost or relocated as well (eg: May Day and movie nights in the Park).

Award winner: New Westminster Salmonbellies Jeff Cornwall, in red, was named the Western Lacrosse Association defender of the year.

New Westies win WLA lacrosse awards Former New Westminster junior A goalie Frankie Scigliano was named the Western Lacrosse Association rookie of the year. The Maple Ridge Burrards starting goalkeeper led the senior A league this season with a 6.65 goals against average and an .838 save percentage. Scigliano is also the leading keeper in the playoffs to date with 163 stops, following Saturday’s 10-8 win over Burnaby that eliminated the runner-up Lakers in six games in the bestof-seven semifinal playoffs. Maple Ridge head coach Chris Gill was named coach of the year.

Shaun Dhaliwal earned the league’s unsung hero award. The Burnaby Lakers righthander garnered 10 goals, including a pair of game-winners, 11 assists and just 15 minutes in penalties in the regular season. New Westminster Salmonbellies Jeff Cornwall was named the WLA’s defender of the year. Cornwall, who is one of the fastest players on the floor, had 12 goals, including two game-winners and a pair of shorthanded markers, six assists and an impressive .364 shot percentage. He also had just four minutes in penalties. tberridge@royalcityrecord

Canadian women come up short to England at Rugby World Cup Canada had to settle for second-best in the world following a 21-9 loss to England at the Women’s Rugby World Cup. Canadian winger Magali Harvey, who was named the International Rugby Board women’s player of the year following the game, booted three penalty goals for all nine of Canada’s points in the championship final in Paris on Sunday. The senior women were the first-ever Canadian rugby team to make a World Cup final. The Canadian national squad, including starting front row forward Kim Donaldson of Burnaby Lake Rugby Club and reserve Julia Sugawara, fell

behind 11-0 but closed out the half down just eight points following a Harvey penalty kick. Harvey brought Canada to within two points midway through the second half, with two more successful kicks at goal. But England’s Emily Scarratt, who had 16 of the team’s total points and was the tournament’s top scorer, put her team up 14-9 before breaking free in the final minutes of the contest to seal the win with a converted try. Canada and England played to a 13-13 draw in the group stage earlier at the World Cup. Canada and England also met on three other occasions in the past year,

with the Maple Leaf winning two matches during last year’s Nations Cup tournament in Denver, Colorado. England avenged those losses with a decisive win in the final game of Canada’s tour to Great Britain last November. The Canadians opened the World Cup with a 31-5 win over Spain on Aug. 1, before defeating Samoa 427 in pool play. Canada upset host France 18-16 in the semifinals before a soldout crowd of 20,000 fans at Stade Jean Bouin in Paris last Wednesday. Elissa Alarie and Harvey both scored exciting tries to lead Canada past the favoured French.

Be part of the tradition. During the first and second world wars, Salmonbellies serving overseas took their sticks and balls and played lacrosse.
