TWO NEW WESTMINSTER SIXTH GRADERS TAKE ON THE HEALTH SYSTEM

Brothers say girls-only vaccine is unfair BY CORNELIA NAYLOR REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Two New Westminster middle school boys don’t think it’s fair they’re not getting the same free protection against the cancer-causing human papilloma virus (HPV) as the girls at their school. Twin brothers Elliot and Nelson Roy were handed notices last week about upcoming vaccinations for Grade 6 students at their school, École Glenbrook Middle. The two 11-year-olds noticed the HPV vaccine was being offered to girls only. Most of their male classmates didn’t make much of it, they said, and others thought boys couldn’t get the virus, but the Roy brothers knew better because they had watched a documentary on the subject a short time before. “It showed how deadly these sicknesses can be,” Elliot told The Record. “I went to sleep that night kind of thinking, ‘Why are we not getting this? This is a life-saving vaccine.’” Nelson agreed. “We heard what it could do to people

Vaccination equity: New Westminster twins Nelson and Elliot Roy want free HPV vaccinations for boys, too. Now in B.C., only girls are vaccinated for free. Cornelia Naylor/ THE RECORD

Report: Archeological dig needed on school site BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

A recent consultant’s report says an archeological dig is the only way to determine the extent of the old cemetery on the New Westminster Secondary School site. School board chair Jonina Campbell said the report provides more information on the complicated site but won’t stifle progress on the decade-long bid to get a new high school in the city. “I have been assured by our secretary treasurer and staff that this will not hold up the high school project, that the infor-

mation in here is information that helps us understand the site better,” Campbell told The Record. “We are in conversations and moving forward on the project, but this information is not going to hold up the building of the high school. Once we know the footprint for the new school, we ask for designs for that footprint.” Secretary-treasurer Al Balanuik told The Record he could not “definitively” say that Golder Associates’ findings will delay or alter the high school replacement project. “I can’t say definitively,” Balanuik said. “My sense is that information is important, so this is additional information to inform

decisions regarding the capital project. … It is part of larger package of information that been compiled and shared with respect to the site.” The fact is the New Westminster school district isn’t footing the bill for the project that is estimated to cost $100 million to complete and is one of the most complicated and costly school replacement projects in the province. It’s up to the provincial government what it’s willing to shell out and what it’s willing to risk for the school that parents in the city have been begging for more than a decade.

The Record contacted the Ministry of Education for a comment on the report and the project in general. The ministry received a draft document from the New West school board about the New Westminster Secondary School site, communications staff member Matt Silver said. Ministry staff are reviewing this draft and continue to work with district staff, he added. Meanwhile, Campbell is encouraged by the fact that the school district opened a new elementary school last month and has started construction on a new middle ◗School Page 10

Park here? Kendra Johnston, executive director at the Downtown BIA, says maintaining parking is key to businesses in the area. about the plan. The area will benefit in the long run, but its business will likely take a hit during the demo, she said. “The whole idea of it being another Cambie Street is looming,” she said, referring to the lengthy construction of the Canada Line, which caused major disruptions for business owners in that area. The city held an information session for downtown business owners on the plans for the parkade demolition and rebuild last week. Attendees heard that the street in front of the shops will be closed to cars for about eight weeks. The city wants to begin construction in February. The project includes updates to the parkade, from Sixth to Fourth streets, which will remain intact.

The project is estimated to cost $3.3 million. Foot traffic will be able to access the area, but that’s not good enough for Woldring, who says he has trucks delivering materials that weigh thousands of pounds to his wine-making shop. “They can’t unload this from a side street, which is on a hill,” he said. Maintaining parking is one of the key issues for downtown businesses, Kendra Johnston, executive director at the Downtown New West Business Improvement Area, told The Record. Tearing down the planned portion of the parkade will mean about one-third fewer parking spots, she said. ◗Parkade Page 4

Parkade was built to lure back mall shoppers

The Front Street parkade was built in a doomed effort to pull back shoppers who were fleeing to malls that were popping up around the Lower Mainland. Times were good for the downtown shopping district after the Second World War, when it was dubbed the Golden Mile for being such a lucrative commercial centre. “There was so much money going through those doors, everybody made the investment,” local historian Jim Wolf says. “You had all of these retailers that were just reaping incredible profits.” But the shine started to fade. Swanky new shopping malls with acres and acres of free parking arrived and changed the retail landscape. At the same time, the trams and street car lines that once carried eager shoppers into downtown New Westminster were being cut and discontinued, Wolf says.

“The downtown business association essentially saw the writing on the wall, what they blamed was the lack of parking, ‘If we could only get free parking down here, we would be able to compete with the malls,’” Wolf says. Worried merchants pressured the city to put in more parking, thinking it would stop the leak. It didn’t, but it did give the city a concrete structure that for better or for worse has loomed over Front Street for more than six decades. It was built in February 1959, a time when the city was trying to separate downtown from industrial eyesores on the Fraser River. “They were turning their back on the river at that point anyways,” Wolf says. Clearly these days, the city is looking toward the river. Follow Niki Hope on Twitter, @nikimhope

Parkade: ‘Noise is going to be a big challenge for everyone’ ◗ continued from page 3

“One of the conditions that mayor and council put in place, and the BIA agreed with, was that if they were going to take away a parkade, that they needed to ensure that there was sufficient parking replacement for that, so some of that will come from the parking stalls they will be putting

on Front Street when they redo Front Street,” Johnston said. The city intends to demolish approximately 305 parkade stalls and retain approximately 462 stalls. In addition, approximately 40 stalls will be created on the street below the west parkade, Julia Dugaro, a city planning analyst, told

The Record. The city’s new community facility, Anvil Centre, will also bring more parking to the area, Johnston said. The project will include a complete overhaul of Front Street with new lighting, signs and beautification. “The BIA is looking at the big picture, (but) we do understand that those Front

Street merchants, during the process, are going to have some real challenges: access, noise is going to be a

big challenge for everyone,” Johnston said. But in the end, Johnston said, foot traffic, access and

waterfront connectivity will improve. “And that’s huge,” she said.

Valuable bows stolen from archery museum BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

A local museum owner is hoping recent media attention will help bring back nine bows stolen last week. Ron Boorman of Boorman Archery awoke last Thursday morning to the news his shop on East Columbia Street had been broken into. In total, nine bows were stolen, many of which were the most valuable pieces of archery artillery he owned, including Jessica Biel’s bow from the Blade Trinity movie and several he made himself. The nine bows stolen were the only items easily accessible to thieves, who had only about four minutes to rob the shop before the alarm went off, according to Boorman. “We actually had two people

across the street in apartments phoning in and watching (the thieves) taking them out. The alarm and the phone and everything was going, so they just about got caught,” he said. Despite the loss, Boorman is already working on replacements for his collection. He’s spoken with the manufacturer of the Blade Trinity bow to find out if they made any extras. “If they did, then they said they’d send it to us,” Boorman added. While the museum might get a new Blade Trinity bow, many of the others that were stolen are irreplaceable, Boorman said. Among the irreplaceable ones is a shoot-through bow he shot in Las Vegas and a Hoyt bow – both were handmade by Boorman. “You can’t replace them,” he said.

Boorman has received a lot of media attention over the past few days and hopes the coverage will help him get the bows back or at least make it harder for the thieves to sell them. “I think they’re too hot to handle now, so they’re probably dumped off somewhere,” Boorman said. “And if they are, that’s good, they’ll get back here.” If the thieves did attempt to pawn the bows, New Westminster police Sgt. Diana McDaniel said investigators would be notified right away. “Certainly they’re going to be hot commodities, and people are going to know that definitely it’s stolen goods. It’s hard to imagine what somebody is going to do with them,” she said. Anyone with information on the theft is asked to contact police at 604-525-5411.

take, his apology was likely scripted by senior bureaucrats as well.) However, the authenticity of an apology is measured by action. You can cry all you want and you can say sorry, but are you willing to change your behaviour? The Conservatives had a chance to do just that, thanks to an NDP motion that would give the speaker more power to stop irrelevant questions and answers during question period. The vote was Tuesday night, and as we were going to press, Burnaby-New

Westminster MP Peter Julian was trying to get a minimum of 12 Tories to support the motion to get it passed. When The Record last spoke with Julian, he had one. The speaker already has the power to quash irrelevancy in other areas of the house – it’s just question period where this silliness still happens. If Calandra is truly sorry for his performance in the house, we expect him to not only support the motion but lobby his fellow Tories to back it. Otherwise, his apology is just more empty theatrics.

OUR VIEW

Dear Editor:

An open letter to the mayor: Recently I spent an hour or so walking around our downtown neighbourhood looking for trees – or especially the absence of trees. There are probably fewer trees downtown now than there were 11 years ago. Trees are essential, “the lungs of the city,” a part of life that can substantially, by more than 20 per cent, especially if near railroad tracks and truck routes, reduce air pollution of all kinds. More than 10 people die every day in B.C., mostly in the Lower Mainland, from smoke- and pollution-related illnesses. Your official community plan for downtown, with all the highrise apartment building construction, has probably doubled the number of people

and the number of cars, most used every day, downtown. People rank health as their most important concern, followed by traffic, in New Westminster. Your promises of a more family-friendly, healthier and more livable downtown are clearly not true, with so much more air pollution, etc. Surely, pretending a 20-storey or more residential apartment built over a one-storey or less commercial space and then basically treating it as a primarily commercial development project, so as to eliminate greenspace and trees, is not only devious but outrageous. Trees are a most useful amenity, working 24/7/365. Downtown is now probably 97 per cent residential and not really commercial anymore. People’s, especially children’s, health is of utmost importance. We live at 610 Victoria St. There is no greenspace setback or any trees in front of our building.

THE RECORD LETTER: New West mayors’ race offers no real choice – Sept. 25

Comment via RoyalCityRecord.com I Rata4u: If it wasn’t for Mayor Wright and that “ﬁre in the belly,” New Westminster would still be the ghetto it was pre-Wright and I would never have made my home here. Let’s be honest with ourselves and admit that this city was disgusting before Wright arrived and the only reason why it is the city it is today is because of him. It takes money to build parks and civic centres – it’s called “investing” and without this investment developers would never consider building homes here and consequently the streets would still belong to the drug dealers, thugs, prostitutes, etc, today. Mayor Wright, you have my vote because you accomplished more for this city than any mayor before.

This Condo has 2 HUGE Balconies! One Huge Balcony is enclosed which adds an extra 100 sq. ft. to the already 900 sq. ft. of inside space.

Does the city need another committee?

Mayor Wayne Wright believes better communication is needed among the city’s sports groups. The city recently considered a proposal to allow Queen’s Park Stadium to be used by a pro soccer team. As part of the plan, the city would have created another field in the city for the baseball teams that use the stadium. The proposal was divisive in the com-

munity, with baseball supporters urging the city to reject the idea and many soccer fans backing the plan. Wright believes the city should create a sports committee, as he thinks that some of the issues that arose during the soccer debate could be warded off if the groups were sitting around the table and talking things through. – Theresa McManus

and apparently how the vaccine should be taken around 12 or 11,” he said, “so then when the vaccinations at our school came up and it said that only girls could, we were a bit upset about it.” Their dad, Michel, encouraged them to write a letter to the editor. In it, they argued boys should get free vaccinations because they are at the same risk as girls for getting the disease and passing it on. “It is a life-threatening virus as it can produce many forms of cancer,” states the letter. “We have heard that the vaccine is available for free for boys in P.E.I. and Alberta, so we do not understand why boys cannot get it for free as part of our Grade 6 immunizations.” Two types of HPV cause 70 per cent of cervical cancers in women, according to the Immunize B.C. website. In men, the virus is associated with cancers of the mouth, nose, throat, anus and penis. B.C. has offered a free HPV vaccination program for girls in grades 6 and 9 since 2008. P.E.I. was the first province to extend their program to boys; Alberta has followed

suit this fall, and Nova Scotia is reportedly considering the move. B.C. is not, even though the Canadian Cancer Society recommends males between the ages of nine and 26 be immunized and that HPV vaccines should be “available and affordable to Canadians.” “At this time, B.C. is not covering HPV vaccination for males,” reads an email statement to The Record from the Health Ministry. “The cost of such a program is a factor in this decision. When making decisions about what vaccines to cover under the province’s vaccination program, the ministry looks at both cost-effectiveness and potential benefits, keeping in mind B.C.’s specific circumstances.” That explanation doesn’t sit right with New West’s Roy brothers. “I don’t find that very fair because then why should the girls get it if the boys can’t,” Nelson said. “If it is too expensive, then why can’t everyone just pay the same?” The family now faces a total cost of about $1,000 for the boys to get the shots through their family doctor. “Our family’s been touched by cancer a couple of times, so we take it very seriously,” Michel said.

Where do you go with knocked-out teeth? Dad raises questions after long wait in ER – only to be told RCH couldn’t deal with dental emergency

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Should you ever find yourself holding a handful of your kid’s teeth and need emergency dental care, Royal Columbian Hospital isn’t the place to go, according to one Burnaby dad. Keith Renfrey’s seven-yearold son knocked out seven of his teeth, including three permanent front teeth, during a shopping trip near RCH last week. Knowing time was of the essence, Renfrey picked the teeth off the ground, packed up the family and headed to the New Westminster hospital. Once there, however, he said they got no advice on what to do with the handful of teeth. It wasn’t until he had waited

for half an hour, he said, that he decided to take matters into his own hands and ask for some milk to store them in – something an off-duty nurse had suggested as the family was making its way out of the store to the hospital. Staff eventually located an unopened carton after rifling through several food trays, according to Renfrey, but the family would wait another half hour before the most upsetting part of the experience took place – a nurse telling them the hospital was not equipped to deal with their dental emergency. “The most important thing is timeliness to get those [teeth] back in,” Renfrey said. “I sat there for an hour while I went through admissions and triage and then sat and waited for a doctor, just to be told that they can’t help me, and I lost an hour.” Renfrey was eventually able to contact his dentist despite it being a Sunday, but it was about three hours from the time his son’s teeth were knocked out before they were re-implanted.

It will now take three to six staff provided Renfrey with milk months before he’ll know wheth- for the teeth, and the role of er they’ll survive or turn grey, emergency departments is to deal with medical, not dental, emerbrown and then die. “It doesn’t look good when gencies. “The physician must deteryou wait three hours to get the mine if there are any teeth back in,” Renfrey other injuries that said. need attention and He’s now worried treatment – this canabout the practical not be done at triand emotional impli- “I sat there for age,” Fraser Health cations for his son if an hour … just emergency program his teeth don’t surdirector Neil Barclay vive, since he’ll have to be told that told the NOW in an to be an adult before they can’t help email. “If the physhe can get implants, which cost thousands me, and I lost an ician determines that no additional treatof dollars apiece. hour.” ment is required, the “It’s hard enough patient would need to going through your KEITH RENFREY see a dentist for denteens, let alone hav- parent tal work.” ing three teeth missThere is no dening…,” Renfrey said. “In my opinion, I should have tist on call at Royal Columbian, walked in the front door; they according to Fraser Health staff.

things parents can do. If they’re up to it, popping the teeth back in place after rinsing them with milk (not water) is best, he said. Storing loose teeth between the gum and lip will also help keep the root cells alive, as will storing them in milk. The most important proactive step is finding out ahead of time how their dentist handles afterhours emergencies. Ward said his association has information about how to handle dental emergencies on its website and has contributed information to the 24-hour HealthLink health advice phone line at 8-1-1. He said it’s up to health authorities to decide how information about dental emergencies is communicated in hospital emergency rooms. “The problem is that it’s not a necessarily priority until it is, until you’re sitting there with your kid and their teeth in your hand, then it’s a priority,” Ward said, “but most of the time you don’t think of it.”

Helping teens think

re you a parent facing the challenges of raising a teen? (Don’t tell me about it, I just don’t want to think about it for another 11 years or so.) In any case, the New Westminster Public Library can help. The library is hosting a workshop called Getting From No to Yes: Creating Strong Decisions with Youth. It’s set for Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. “This workshop is designed to help parents or anyone involved with youth understand the dynamic process of strong decision-making using arguments as a method for truth finding,” a press release says. It will cover issues such as health, computer use, employment and risk reduction, and it will look at how to develop “open-mindedness, intellectual maturity and thoughtfulness” in youth. The workshop is led by David Rossi, an author, producer and mentor. The library is at 716 Sixth Ave. Space is limited, so you’re asked to register in advance – call 604-527-4667 or email listener@nwpl.ca.

Happy Halloween

The musical trio was onstage as part of Culture Days, a nationwide celebration of the arts that happened over the weekend. The group performed music using a variety of traditional ethnic instruments, as well as invented instruments fabricated out of recycled household items. They also got kids involved

coming up. So far I’ve learned of a couple of Halloween-related events for families. Of course, it wouldn’t be Halloween without the Queen’s Park Pumpkin Patch. Realtor Derrick Thornhill is back to host the pumpkin patch in support of Monarch Place, which helps women and children fleeing domestic violence. It’s on Saturday, Oct. 18 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Queen’s Park picnic shelter. You can pick up a pumpkin, enjoy coffee, hot chocolate and Timbits (compliments of the Tim Hortons community cruiser), take part in pumpkin carving, enjoy a colouring contest and munch on some popcorn. Kids are encouraged to come dressed in costume, with prizes awarded and free photos on site. On Thursday, Oct. 30, the library’s main branch is hosting a Halloween Hullabaloo, with spooky tales, a Halloween craft and goodies aimed at the six- to 10-year-old set. It runs from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Do you know of other Halloween fun happening around town? Is your group or organization

Getting active

Rain, rain, go away, come again another day … Well, we might be chanting that for the next six months, so that means it’s time to start thinking about indoor play options. Fortunately for New West parents, the City of New Westminster has thought of the need to let kids burn off their energy, regardless of the weather. The Queen’s Park Arenex plays host to regular Motoring Munchkins drop-in sessions, aimed at kids aged one to six (babies are also welcome). Recreation staff are on hand, and the gym is filled with toys, climbers, slides, ride-on vehicles and more to keep the kids going. Kids can even try out the trampoline. The sessions are on Mondays from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., Wednesdays from 9 to 11:45 a.m. and Fridays from 9 to 11:45 a.m. and again from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Each session costs $3.25 for parents and one kid, and each additional sibling is $1. You can also buy a 10-session pass for $26 or a 20-session pass for $48.80. There’s also a regular

drop-in Parent and Tot Gymnastics program at the Arenex, also for the one- to six-year-old crowd. It runs Mondays and Tuesdays from 9:30 to 10:25 a.m., Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 12:25 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:30 to 9:25 a.m. There’s also dropin Gymnastics and Trampoline sessions for three- to 14-year-olds – Saturdays from noon to 12:55 p.m. and again from 2 to 2:55 p.m. For those in Queensborough, the Queensborough Community Centre offers an Indoor Playland (also aimed at one- to six-yearolds) that runs from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Mondays and Thursdays, and it costs $3.55 for a parent and one child. Each additional child is $1.05. Of course, the city has plenty of registered courses available as well, covering every conceivable interest and activity for all ages. Check out the Active Living Guide at www. newwestpcr.ca or pick up a copy of the guide at any city facility.

New Westminster resident Carrie Dignan, who swims with the Coquitlam local of Special Olympics B.C., has been named to the roster for the national team that will be competing in L.A. next summer. According to a press release, Dignan qualified through her performance at the Special Olympics Canada 2014 Summer Games in Vancouver, where she won two gold medals and one bronze in her individual races. She also swam to silver in her

team relay event. Seven thousand athletes from 177 countries will compete in the 2015 Special Olympics World Games, which are being held July 25 to Aug. 2, 2015 in Los Angeles.

Stand up for seniors

Community members are invited to stand up for seniors. The Seniors Services Society invites people to clear their calendars for noon today (Wednesday, Oct. 1) and participate in their third annual Stand for Seniors in celebration of National Seniors Day. Kelly Friesen, independent living coordinator, said “the more the merrier” so everyone is invited to drop by. “Join us at the corner of Sixth Street and Sixth Avenue in New Westminster outside the Royal City Centre,” Friesen

said in a press release. “We will be standing for seniors for one hour. We will bring along our placards to help send the message to support the seniors in our lives.”

Fitness fundraiser

A national boxing champion is back in New Westminster. Lydia Walczak, who was awarded the Best Senior Female Boxer in B.C. and won Gold in the Canadian championships in 2007 and silver in 2005 and 2006, is the newest instructor at Zhoosh Fitness Garage. (Read

more about Walczak on page 23.) “Lydia will be heading up our new boxing program, and I’d say she is very qualified to be your coach,” Zhoosh Fitness Garage owner Robyn Murrell said in a press release. Walczak, who started training at nine, joined the Queensborough Boxing Club when she was 17. In 2007, she was ranked 10th in the world and received the Boxing B.C. Award of Excellence. “Boxing focuses your mind – it is a way of expressing yourself, understanding your weaknesses, as well as a way of instill-

ing confidence,” she said in a news release. “I am bringing what I love about training at a boxing club. Seeing a fellow athlete push his limits and having a coach right there to push him some more. It is those moments that you begin to see something beautiful in his movements and focus – passion. At Boxing Bad, I’ll be bringing that old-school boxing feel mixed in with a functional style of training to give you a total body workshop. Community members are invited to meet Walczak and other Zhoosh Fitness Garage instructors at its grand opening on Sunday, Oct. 5 from 12

Stay connected to school happenings CLASS ACT

NIKI HOPE

chool is finally back in session for more than 6,000 students in New Westminster. A good resource for parents looking for New Westminster-related education information (besides reading The Record) is the school district’s website: district.sd40.bc.ca. Notices related to what’s happening throughout the district are posted on the site, as well as the agendas for the school board’s open meetings. Parents and staff can see what policies and issues school trustees are discussing and debating that will impact education in the Royal City.

Qayqayt opens

As readers know, the school district opened Qayqayt (pronounced kee-

kite) Elementary last week. The downtown school, located on the former St. Mary’s Hospital site, is still in need of a few finishing touches, including landscaping, a gym and two playgrounds. Nonetheless, Qayqayt parent Ronda Field said they are “confident” that staff and students will make do. “The good news is that with combined donations from Kiwanis, Aviva and CST (Canadian Scholarship Trust), as well as school district funding, we were able to order the first phase of playground equipment,” she wrote in an email to The Record. “This Phase 1 structure is expected to be installed by the contractor in the lower play area by mid-October.” Parents also busy submitting applications for further fundraising options for the second playground and are about $85,000 short. “Stay tuned for another attempt at Aviva and CST campaigns,” Field wrote.

Civic election

The Record is launching

a #whyIvoteNW campaign to urge residents to get out and vote in this November’s civic election. City residents will have the chance to elect city councillors, a mayor and school trustees who will make decisions about how to spend their tax dollars. Here’s #whyIvote: “To have a say in the people making policy that directly affects the lives of me and my children, and because voting is a right that people in many parts of the world have fought long and hard for (and deserve).” Please visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ RoyalCityRecord, Twitter @TheRecord and our website at www.royalcity record.com, for election coverage. Send news from local schools to Niki, nhope@royal cityrecord.com, or find her on Twitter, @nikimhope.

Life-Saving Tips This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign includes the following smoke alarm messages:

Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including the basement. Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. This way, when one sounds, they all do. Test alarms monthly by pushing the test button. Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they don’t respond properly. Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound of the smoke alarm and understands what to do when they hear it. You can learn more about this year’s important Fire Prevention Week theme on Sunday October 5th, 2014 between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. On that day, we will be once again hosting our Annual Open House. Join us for an interactive, behind the scenes look at the services we provide for the community, the agencies that we work side by side with, and more information on home safety including smoke alarms.

A Salute To Our Local Firefighters

Smoke Alarms: the sound that saves lives By Kathy Ius, Community Outreach Coordinator When was the last time you tested the smoke alarms in your home? Was it last week? Last month? A year ago? If you’re like many people, you may not even remember. Smoke alarms have become such a common feature of Canadian households that they’re often taken for granted, and aren’t tested and maintained as they should be. However, working smoke alarms are a critical fire safety tool that can mean the difference between life and death in a home fire. According to the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), smoke alarms can cut the chance of dying in a home fire in half. Meanwhile, almost two thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign ' @2!H =?=#<! 2=7I <69HI :; &E!IF9" HI2 includes the following smoke alarm messages: H2!H :EHH69. ' >9!H=?? !<6B2 =?=#<!

In a fire, seconds count. Roughly half of home fire deaths result from fires reported at night between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am when most people are asleep. Did you know that, when you go to sleep, your sense of smell also goes to “sleep”? It’s an interesting fact that though your sense of smell goes to sleep, your auditory senses do not. That is one of the reasons smoke alarms are so effective. They can alert people to a fire before it spreads, giving everyone enough time to get out.

Hyacks score another win

BY JENNIFER THUNCHER REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster AAA Hyacks continued on a winning streak with a 277 win over the Notre Dame Jugglers at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex Sept. 26. A highlight of the game included a school recordbreaking 95-yard pass from quarterback Mackenzie Ratcliffe to wide receiver Matt Seymour to make the score 14-7 in the second quarter. A Seymour 50-yard punt return, followed by a David Penalver 12-yard touchdown run made it 20-7 at halftime. In the fourth quarter, tight end Dylan Musgrove received a 14-yard pass from Ratcliffe, making it 27-7. Thanks to a Seymour interception late in the fourth, the win was cemented for the Hyacks. “Our defence is doing some great things right now, and everyone is contributing. Guys are making plays all over the place and really feeding off one another,” said Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji by email. The Hyacks’ defence recorded six quarterback sacks led by linebacker Tyrone Morgan’s two, along with his seven tackles. Adding to the defensive prowess, linebacker Jeff Lugtu added 11 tackles. The win improves the Hyacks streak to 4-0 over B.C. teams. “It was a quality win against a scrappy, well-

The win streak is nice, but it only gets tougher from here. We have some big games coming up starting with next week against Mount Douglas.

Boxing champ set to inspire at new gym Boxer Lydia Walczak has come full circle since her days as a kid in her basement swinging at a heavy, homemade punching bag and kicking a foam-wrapped metal pipe her dad made to help her train. Walczak, 29, is now the instructor of Boxing Bad, a noncontact, fitness boxing program at New Westminster’s newest gym, Zhoosh Fitness Garage, a fitness club that prides itself on its backto-basics look and approach to fitness. Walczak said boxing has mesmerized her since she saw her first local boxing match as a little girl. “I find it absolutely beautiful,” she said. “In terms of footwork, the combinations, the speed… everything about boxing is just

There were lots of smiles and hugs last Wednesday night when New Westminster’s 1978 Doc’s Blues Women’s Softball team was inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame for 2014. “This is great being with all my team again,” said Diane Materi, who played left field for the team. “It is really a great recognition,” she said. Several of the former players, managers and their family members attended the plaque unveiling, held in the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame at B.C. Place Stadium. “I think this is a dream everybody has, if you were able to get there some day; this is an absolute dream,” said Debbie Duke, who was the team’s catcher. “We started off as a team where there were a few seasons that were a little hard and we were very persistent and we were not giving up. We went to the 1974 Worlds in Stratford, Connecticut and we didn’t do that well there and we said we are coming back … and that is why we are here today,” she said. After placing seventh in ‘74, they did indeed come back, and win. The New West women were silver medallists at the 1978 Women’s World Softball Championship, held in El Salvador (they lost to the United States in the final game). They were also the last club team to represent Canada at the world championships and the only Canadian women’s team to ever win a world championship medal. In the ’78 season, the Blues had 113 wins, 16 losses and two ties. The team was a sisterhood of sorts, and the players had as much fun off the field as on, according to some of the players on hand at the induction. “We just played for each other,” said Ann MacLeod, who was the team’s shortstop and married the team’s assistant coach, ◗Blues Page 24

Alistair MacLeod, who passed away in 2012. “We raised money to go places and Janice [Robinson, the team’s first base] made up songs and we sang songs and we went up the middle of New Zealand singing songs and getting billeted, and those are things people don’t get to experience anymore,” said MacLeod, while giving Robinson a hug. “When we come together, we are just really good friends and we really just like each other.”
