What now for Pattullo?

Failure of transit vote leaves fate of aging bridge uncertain Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The fate of the Pattullo Bridge replacement project is as clear as the skies over Metro Vancouver. Prior to the recent transit and transportation referendum,TransLink was working with New Westminster, Surrey and Coquitlam on a public process related to the replacement of the aging Pattullo Bridge.The plan is to replace the existing bridge with a new four-lane, tolled Pattullo Bridge. “I think the referendum results have created a bit of uncertainty for the Pattullo Bridge project,” Mayor Jonathan Cote told the Record. “Ultimately, I still believe it’s a project that will have to happen.They are doing significant rehab work next year, and that might buy a little extra time. But having said that, ultimately something needs to be done with the Pattullo Bridge.” In an attempt to raises funds to expand the region’s transit and transportation systems, the Mayors’ Council on transportation

NOW WHAT? Metro Vancouver residents voted against the Mayors’ Council proposal to increase sales tax in the region by 0.5 per cent, which leaves the fate of the 78-year-old Pattullo Bridge up in the air. PHOTO ROB KRUYT

Heavy haze poses health hazards

NewWestminster residents feel the effects of the wildfires burning near Sechelt and Pemberton as air quality nosedives Cornelia Naylor

New Westminster residents with asthma, chronic respiratory disease and heart failure were warned to take precautions against a thick blanket of smoke hovering over Metro Vancouver earlier this week. The regional authority and Environment Canada issued a joint air-quality advisory Monday in response to smoke from wildfires that has shrouded much of the Lower Mainland, the Strait of Georgia and the southern half of Vancouver Island since

should postpone strenuous exercise until the advisory is lifted. Staying indoors and in air-conditioned spaces helps to reduce fine particulate exposure.” People experiencing difficulty breathing, chest pain or discomfort, or the sudden onset of cough or irritation of airways are advised to contact their doctor. Emergency rooms have seen a jump in respiratory-related visits since the smoke arrived, according to Fraser Health Authority spokesperson Tasleem Juma, but health officials can’t say conclusively whether the smoke is the cause. “It’s difficult to determine whether it’s air quality or heat or something else,” Juma told the Record. Fine particulate matter refers to airborne

Sunday morning. Air quality readings taken close to the New West border in South Burnaby showed concentrations of fine particulate matter shooting past four times the target level over a 24 hour-period. By 6 a.m.Tuesday, levels had returned to below target, but the air-quality advisory remained in effect. “Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have diabetes, and lung or heart disease,” stated the Metro Vancouver advisory. “Persons with chronic underlying medical conditions

solids or liquid droplets with a diameter of 2.5 micrometres or less. It can easily penetrate indoors because of its small size. Most masks available at drug stores won’t filter out fine particulate matter, according to Fraser Health, so if people intend to use masks they should make sure they are rated to filter out particles of 2.5 microns in size, and that users are wearing them properly. The poor air quality, caused by wildfires burning outside of the region, including a 618-acre fire near Sechelt, 60 kilometres northwest of Vancouver, and two much bigger fires (49,000 acres and 12,000 acres) near Pemberton, is expected to last until there is a change in the weather, according Continued on page 8

Up Front TRANSIT PLEBISCITE

After the No vote: Who’s saying what? Transit users have mixed opinions about the plebiscite’s failure

We know what the politicians have had to say, but what about transit users? Intern Ethan Reyes took to the SkyTrain to find out what commuters were thinking in the aftermath of the failure of the transit plebiscite – in which 62 per cent of voters said No to a plan that would have seen a 0.5 per cent sales tax hike to fund the Mayors’ Council’s proposed 10-year transportation plan. Here’s what people told him:

Sheila Mongey should have passed

Sinisa Gavric easy decision

“I didn’t vote for it,” said Sinisa Gavric, who went on to say that the substantial increase in taxes made his decision an easy one. “I think it should’ve gone

through,” said Sheila Mongey, who believed the upgrades to TransLink services are inevitable. “There’s still going to be congestion.”

New West resident and small business owner Daniel Ampong wondered why an increase in taxes was even being discussed. “If your income is not going anywhere, how can you afford more taxes?” Business student Harmeej Cheema said he was “so glad it failed.” In regards to TransLink, Cheema said that, “If you don’t care about where each penny is spent, you don’t care about the fiscal nature of transit.” Cheema also added that “I’d rather pay a little more for better service.”

Kim Niddrey, 32, voted in favour of the upgrades. “I votedYes, but I was sort of on the fence. I don’t want to pay more taxes,” she said.

Vote ‘not an excuse’ to ignore transit needs Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Sadie DeCoste is urging the powers that be to keep fighting for improved transit improvements in Metro Vancouver. While the NewWest teen was too young to vote in the transpiration referendum, she worked hard at trying to convince her elders to vote Yes. A member of the environmental club at New Westminster Secondary School prior to her graduation in June, DeCoste was part of theVoteYes New West Coalition. “Obviously it is a disappointment,” she said of the referendum results. “I think these are improvements that we really need in our region.” During the campaign, DeCoste appealed to voters to consider the needs of today’s youth, who will be inheriting today’s transportation infrastructure. She also said society needs to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels in order to combat climate change. “I would say that the referendum decision is not an excuse to ignore the infra-

structure that we need,” she said. “These are the tangible services that we are going to need. I just hope that they work harder to make sure that we do get the improvements that we need.” The Mayors’ Council on regional transportation proposed a congestion improvement tax that would be used to fund upgrades to the major road network, increased capacity of Expo and Millennium SkyTrain lines, increased bus service, additional HandyDART services, cycling and pedestrian improvements, light rail in Surrey and an extension of the Millennium Line along the Broadway corridor inVancouver.The funds would have been collected through a 0.5 per cent increase to the provincial sales tax. “I think quite honestly the referendum was a poor public policy decision to have it in the first place,” DeCoste said. “I guess it’s back to the drawing table.” While she believes TransLink uses its funds wisely, DeCoste said issues related to the handling of the Compass Card and TransLink CEO’s pay negatively affect-

ed its public image. “I do feel optimistic that we can work toward building sustainable systems of infrastructure. I think in general people do support that. I don’t think it was people voting to say, ‘I hate transit.’ It’s hard to change public opinion when there’s a lack of trust, and part of that comes from them having an unelected board.”

Mayor Jonathan Cote said he spent a lot of time in the referendum campaign talking about the mayors’ plan but heard time and time again, from road users and transit users, that people supported the plan and understood the reasons for improving public transit in the region, but they couldn’t voteYes because of frustration with the TransLink or-

ganization. “The referendum highlights that not only do we have a funding gap with public transit in our region, but we also have an accountability gap. I think we need to be advocating for both of these gaps to be addressed,” Cote told the Record. “We need to address the transparency and accountability, and really the

public confidence in the transit organization. At the same time, I think we need to continue to advocate for a funding solution for public transit. As our region grows, I don’t think we can afford to let our infrastructure fall apart and not invest in our transportation system. I think the region is going to be worse off in that scenario.” The plebiscite results were about voters rejecting a tax increase, not about the public perception of TransLink, according to Doug Allen,TransLink’s interim CEO. “I know some of you will say this is about TransLink,” he said at a press conference on Thursday. “No, it is not.” Allen said the system is recognized by experts for its efficiency and the issue came down to the increased cost. He said TransLink will work with the provincial government and the Mayors’ Council on a funding solution. The Mayors’ Council has said it is prepared to work with the province until the end of the year to address funding and the accountability gap.

WHAT WAS THE BUZZ ON SOCIAL MEDIA? @PJNewWest PLAN B: Fire @toddstonebc for not doing his job; referendum on Massey Bridge; have @TransLink complaints line ring @jordanbateman directly.

@BillardArch #greekreferendum, #hst & #transitreferendum show that you should NEVER have a vote on financial matters. It’s why we vote for Government.

@MikeFolka It’s been sad to see the bickering btwn sides cont. The 1 thing we agreed on was need for TL reform. Let’s work *together* to make it happen.

@MikeFolka Continued fighting only further divides us when we should together be holding those responsible’s feet to the fire demanding accountability.

Dave Lundy Yeah...like blowing city tax money pushing forward one side on a public debate. To say nothing of the sheer idiocy of claiming that replacing a 4 lane bridge thats already at full capacity with ANOTHER 4 lane bridge and tolling it, will somehow miraculoously result in reduced congestion!!!!!!!!!!

Jason Lesage Given the projections for the population increase slated for Metro Vancouver in the next decade, traffic congestion can’t be reduced. At best, we can keep it at the same level. Norm Auger HIP HIP HOORAY!

Opinion OUR VIEW

How can we sleep when B.C. is burning? There was something almost Hollywood-like about the sky that hung over Burnaby on Sunday night. The golden-red light that glowed behind the heavy haze was eerily beautiful, in an apocalyptic, beginningof-the-end-of-the-world sort of way. And it was a sobering reminder that it’s about time we all started taking climate change – and all its associated effects on the planet – seriously. We’re done with the de-

niers and with the governments that push environmental issues to the bottom of the pile in a quest for economic growth in unsustainable forms. We simply can not afford to take our world for granted anymore. Consider these numbers, courtesy of Sierra Club B.C.: In the past five years, B.C. has had an average of 320 wildfires per year, burning 12,744 hectares.This year, with most of the summer still to come and no

rain in sight, there have already been 843 fires and 129,028 hectares burned. And it seems unlikely to be improving in the near future, as scientists are predicting hotter, drier conditions for B.C. over the coming decades. So what, you may ask. Once we invest in air conditioners, swimming pools and SPF 50, what’s not to like about this new, California-like climate of ours? Well, how about the fact that record low snowpacks

and record high temperatures are affecting the Fraser River salmon run? Water flows are low, temperatures are high, and that threatens the health of the salmon returning to spawn. And if you don’t care much about the fish, well, what about us humans? Metro Vancouver reservoirs are at their lowest level in more than 25 years, and Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands are already on the highest level of water restrictions.

The rest of us are heading that way fast. And that stands to mean far worse than just letting our lawns go brown. Drought threatens the health and viability of our agricultural industry – and thus the very food we depend upon. Every single aspect of our lives, and the life of our planet, depends on a world in balance, where our temperatures and our rainfall levels reflect the temperate rainforest we’re meant to be living in.

This parched and scorching world we’re inhabiting this summer could well be on its way to becoming our new normal – and that’s a reality with frightening and far-reaching consequences. Let’s just hope governments – at all levels – respond to the urgency. Because this smoky air we’ve been breathing isn’t just part of the lazy hazy crazy days of summer. Our planet is sending us a message – and it’s about time we listened.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Fires a sign of larger trouble It looks like the weather is going to cost B.C. taxpayers dearly this year, but the provincial government is still only taking baby steps when it comes to dealing with what appears to be the chaotic effects of changes in climate patterns. We may be on our way to a record forest fire season, rain levels have dropped significantly and heat records are being set by the dozens. The combination of a hot, dry forest combined with what could be serious water shortages sets the stage for an explosive summer. An average year will see the government spend about $100 million fighting forest fires, even though the annual budgeted amount is set at about $63 million. But with the two hottest months still to come for the most part, we’ve already passed that budget figure. Costs could easily approach a half billion dollars before the fire season is over, and that doesn’t include related costs. Premier Christy Clark, who is locked into getting the liquefied natural gas industry to set up shop in this province, at least provided a couple of clues recently that perhaps taking a closer look at weather patterns is inching up one of her priority lists. Each year she sends “mandate letters” to her cabinet ministers, outlining the expectations for the year ahead. Mostly, they are about balancing the budget and running an efficient operation, the usual things.

But two ministers got special instructions this year. Forests and Lands Minister Steve Thomson is to analyze the impact of lower snowpacks and retreating glaciers on the province’s forests, and Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick is to perform a similar task, and make recommendations on how best to protect farmland. Lower snowpacks? Retreating glaciers? Growing drought conditions?Water shortages? Temperatures hitting record highs? At least the government appears to have woken up to the fact that something unusual is going on. But the impact of these climate changes is not felt simply in the forests, and doesn’t end with the end of the forest fire season. Stream and lake temperatures will likely continue to rise, with potentially devastating results for fish and local ecosystems. We can expect more flooding, and violent storms may result in landslides or the destabilization of land masses. At the very least, this all translates into making a major hit on the provincial economy, which is reason alone for the government to start looking at doing more than simply drafting an analysis or two. I don’t offer any magical suggestions, but perhaps more resources should be allocated to start figuring out ways to deal with what could be a catastrophe in the waiting.

Siren complainer missed the mark

Smoke gets in your eyes - and lungs

Dear Editor In response to “What’s with all the sirens at nighttime?” (Letters to the editor, the Record, July 1). Let me say how appalled I am at Mr. Bandzmer’s comments in his letter. First of all, the person that needs to “get real” is indeed Mr. Bandzmer. Emergency crews are dispatched through the 911 system and treat all calls as emergencies. Otherwise, why would 911 be there in the first place? As trained professionals, they are the ones we rely on to determine the level of attention a call receives and place calls in a priority sequence. He further disparages homeless people and geriatrics and relegates them to being only capable of experiencing “minor emergencies.” It is arrogant and ignorant of him to assume such conclusions based on his own lack of knowledge of emergency procedures and the requisite care for what are commonly our citizens that need the most care and often the most attention. I find it disturbing that he would be so judgemental and callous. Once first responders are on site, as trained professionals, they are the ones that determine the severity of the situation and guide themselves I can’t tell you accordingly. Yes, we live how grateful I in a commuof ever am to hear those nity increasing sirens coming. density and, yes, there will be increased calls and needs for the services from the first responders we have come to rely on in times of need. Perhaps, as well, I am not always happy to be awoken by sirens late at night, but I do take a great deal of comfort knowing that the men and women that make up our teams of first responders are there and all too willing to help and provide us with the skills of which they are so highly trained. My hat goes off to them as I roll over and go back to sleep! As the primary caregiver of a senior in New West, there have been occasions when I have had to call 911 in an emergency. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to hear those sirens coming and know that trained professionals are close at hand. As a self-identified senior, Mr. Bandzmer would do well to consider his options, after all, if he needed the first responders for his own personal emergency, he would be the first to complain that they weren’t quick enough to come to his aid. His remarks are inane, and he should see some degree of irony in his comments. Mike Walmsley, New Westminster

A simple solution for Pattullo troubles? Dear Editor I have the answer for Pattullo Bridge traffic. Make three lanes like the Lions Gate and change traffic flow at a.m. and p.m. with lights. Trucks will only take one lane as designated and do not cross in to the second lane. Will be much safer. Chris Dochtermann, VanPress Printers, New Westminister

Condolences to his family & Lord Kelvin staff & students!

My condolences as well to his family, friends and students. @CaseyCook_NW @TheRecord Saddened at this tragic news. Condolences to family, friends, colleagues and students.Rest in peace Colin Mackay. kitunaha_Hunter Mr. MacKay was the nicest man, he was my daughter’s teacher. She cried on the last day of school just last week and she said, Mr. MacKay made a very sad speech that was full of emotion. He went and got cedar blocks with the kids when a neighbor cut a tree down, now Lord Kelvin has those wood that can be used for future carving projects. He helped the kids with fantastic father’s day and mother’s day presents. I have sat with him and got homework from him, he has worked with my daughter outside of class hours to help her get caught up. He was to me, one of the best teachers I have ever met. I only knew him a little bit but I shed a tear for him as well. I will remember him and hope to see him on the other side. Mr. MacKay, life is but a bridge, cross it but build no home upon it. See you on the other side, you are now are eldest brother.

Remembered: Mourners created a makeshift memorial for Lord Kelvin teacher Colin Mackay, who died in a motorcycle accident last week. PHOTO THERESA MCMANUS

Popular teacher dies in motorcycle crash Cornelia Naylor

More than 100 students and colleagues gathered at Lord Kelvin Elementary School Monday to mourn the loss of a popular New Westminster teacher killed in a motorcycle crash near Kamloops last week. Colin Leslie Mackay, who taught a Grade 5/6 class at Kelvin this year, died Thursday afternoon after losing control of his motorcycle on an uphill curve about 10 kilometres south of Kamloops. He cartwheeled down a 12-metre embankment and died at the scene. Mackay had been a teacher in the New West district since 1998, when he started as a teacher on call. He had also taught drama at New Westminster Secondary before starting at Lord Kelvin in 2013. The school district was notified of his death Friday morning, according to acting associate-superintendent Janet Grant, and school offi-

cials planned events at Lord Kelvin Monday morning to help staff and students affected by the tragedy. More than 100 people came out, including Mackay’s parents and other members of his family, and five counsellors already off work for the summer came in to provide support.

It was a real testament to who Colin was and the tremendous impact that he has made on all of us.

The memorial culminated outside Mackay’s classroom door, where a shrine with flowers and notes had taken shape since Fri-

day, and people shared how Mackay had touched their lives. “It was very, very moving,” Grant said. “There were a lot of tears, and yet there was a lot of laughter as well … It was a real testament to who Colin was and the tremendous impact that he has made on all of us.” The district will continue to provide emotional support to Mackay’s students and colleagues through the summer, Grant said, and extra counselling will also be available when school starts again in September. Mackay was born in 1973 and grew up in Port Moody, according to one of his Facebook profiles. Motorcycling was by far his most avid interest, the profile states, but he also loved snowboarding, acting, scuba-diving and writing. In 2012, he published his first book, Remote, a youngadult fiction/ horror novel.

Take extra precautions Continued from page 1 to Environment Canada. Low-level wind patterns were changing as of Monday morning, according to Environment Canada, ushering in cooler marine air through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, but winds aloft were expected to remain light. Environment Canada predicted slightly cool-

er temperatures and modest improvements in visibility and air quality but stated smoke aloft was expected to linger for some time. Precautions for people with chronic underlying medical conditions: ! Stay in a cool, air-conditioned environment and reduce indoor sources of pollution such as smoking and vacuuming. ! Run an air cleaner.

Some room air cleaners, such as HEPA filters, can help reduce indoor particulate levels, provided they are the right size for your home and filters are changed regularly. ! Take shelter in air-conditioned buildings which have large indoor volumes and limited entry of outdoor air.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS NEW WESTMINSTER?

When residents of New Westminster crave a great selection of beers on tap and in bottles, fabulous food, friendly service and one of the city’s best patios, they head to Frankie G’s Pub | Kitchen | Patio. Opened in 1999 by longtime Queensborough residents (more than seven decades) the Basran family, Frankie G’s serves up a healthy dose of comfort food, pints and hospitality. The interior reminds one of an old fashioned English pub. This favourite local hangout boasts vaulted ceilings, large cedar pillars, hardwood floors and inviting fireplaces. The walls are adorned with authentic nautical artifacts as well as photographs immortalizing more than 100 years of life in New Westminster. Tired of the same old pub food? At Frankie G’s Pub | Kitchen | Patio they are renowned in the city for its innovative and traditional menu, which is focused on fresh, local, and creative food you wouldn’t expect from a neighbourhood bar. Over the years, they have sponsored many block parties as well as numerous local fundraisers for a variety of nonprofit organizations and sports groups. “Cask 4 a Cause” raised more than $15000.00, which they donated to The Micheal Cuccione Foundation for childhood cancer research. The Readers Choice multiple award-winning pub - for best building, lunch and service - is also committed to the community that has supported them for more than 15 years. As a way of giving back, the pub offers free shuttle service to their customers. “You will be picked up and dropped off right at your doorstep” says proprietor Calvin Basran. This service has made a huge impact on business and positioned Frankie G’s Pub as a responsible place for good times.

City expects new Pattullo

Continued from page 1 planning proposed a 0.5 per cent increase to the provincial sales tax in Metro Vancouver.The money raised would have funded a wide range of transportation and transit initiatives, including a new Pattullo Bridge. “Regardless of the plebiscite vote, the structural and seismic rehabilitation will go ahead to ensure safety of motorists, cyclists and pedestrians on the bridge,” said Chris Bryan,TransLink’s media relations advisor, in an emailed statement to the Record. “That work is already budgeted and will extend the life of the bridge for some years until a longer-term decision about replacement is required. Deck work is expected to begin in mid-2016.” Jim Lowrie, the city’s director of engineering, said it was anticipated the capital costs of the Pattullo Bridge replacement project would be offset by user fees and contributions from senior levels of government. “Accordingly, it is the city’s expectation that the Pattullo Bridge replacement project will proceed regardless of the referendum outcome,” Lowrie said. Cote said tolling has been identified as the main source of funding for the replacement of the Pattullo Bridge. “Even though there is a bit of a shortfall in terms of funding because of the results of the referendum to cover the costs of the bridge, I think there’s still an opportunity, once everyone gets back to the table and starts working on it, that funding will be identified and the tolling will remain the large source of funding for the project,” he said. Cote said the plan has been to toll the new bridge and use that money to pay for the debt financing. He said he’d be open to tolling the existing bridge to help pay for repairs and help with money to pay for the new crossing, but there

hasn’t been a lot of appetite from TransLink on that idea. “With the age of the structure, certainly all the information we have shows that tolls would dramatically reduce the amount of traffic on that bridge, which certainly would be a benefit to the City of New Westminster. As far as I am concerned, that plan is still the plan for the Pattullo Bridge,” he said. “Having said that, I think everyone is still trying to figure out what a No means in the referendum and what happens to the mayors’ plan and all the projects that are included in that.The reasons you are getting mixed messages is the referendum has certainly made things unclear as far as the future of transportation in Metro Vancouver.” Along with TransLink, the province has committed to contribute funds for the Pattullo Bridge replacement, and TransLink planned to seek a federal grant. “I so strongly believe in the mayors’ plan and the investments, both in road infrastructure and public transit, that need to be made in our region,” Cote said. “I think the No result might be putting a pause on things, but ultimately, the provincial government and the mayors need to get back to the table and figure this out. I don’t think our region can afford to just ignore this problem.”

People PROFILE

Laurin Stenerson Occupation DEPUTY CHIEF OF POLICE Why is he in the news? More than three decades ago the New Westminster Police Department hired a former Mountie who was looking to move back to the Lower Mainland. The relative rookie started his career in New West like any other police officer, at the bottom of the ranks. Over the next 34 years, however, he moved from constable to staff sergeant to inspector, and in March of 2011 he became deputy chief constable, the department’s second-in-command. That officer is Laurin Stenerson, and on June 30 he retired from the New Westminster Police Department. Stenerson, who grew up just across the border in Burnaby, has had a long

How did you get your start in policing? I started with the RCMP back in 1979. I went to Depot and after my recruit training I went to Lloydminster, Saskatchewan/Alberta, and it was an excellent learning experience. I did about 18 months there and decided to come back to the province of B.C. and applied to NewWestminster and was very fortunate to get on in September of 1981. What was it like when you first started here? When I first joined, the

career in New Westminster. He was on the ground when the Royal City was going through some growing pains in the late ’80s and early ’90s, he was on scene at some of the city’s darkest moments, and has witnessed how much the department and city have changed for the better. “As a supervisor, he would want you to challenge yourself and push yourself, which sometimes meant he gave us a lot of freedom,” Chief Dave Jones said when asked what it was like working with Stenerson over the years. Jones and Stenerson’s history goes way back to the first night they ever worked together. Stenerson, a constable at the time, was

city was hopping, there’s no other way to describe it. I think we had the most bar seats per capita in the province, so it was an interesting time. We were extremely busy. (SkyTrain) brought a whole new challenge to the city. The influx of people coming in and out and the easy access, and again, it’s good for people for work, but it also brought the transients and criminal activity, which, I think, sort of caught us off guard, so we really had to bare down on that and start doing enforcement in that area. I was here when we had the influx of crack cocaine, which hit the city hard. How have things changed since then?

TOP COP After 34 years with the New Westminster Police Department, Deputy Chief Const. Laurin Stenerson is retiring. He says he’ll miss the people the most, both sworn and civilian members. PHOTO LARRY WRIGHT supervising Jones, then a volunteer reserve constable, when he asked Jones what he wanted to do with his life. “He tells me, and I don’t

remember it this way, he says I looked over at him and said, ‘Oh, I’m going to be your boss one day.’ I don’t think that really happened

but he keeps accusing me of that,” Jones laughed. On July 1, Insp. Dave Jansen will take over Stenerson’s position. The Record met

with Stenerson to talk about the deputy chief’s career and what plans, if any, he had for his retirement. – Cayley Dobie

It’s totally different, it’s just unbelievable.The reasons behind it, I can tell you, is, as a police agency, we’ve been very effective in dealing with crime. I think we’ve been extremely proactive.We’ve integrated, where integration is good. Another thing is working with the city. We’ve worked very well with the city in terms of the integrated service teams. … We’re really trying to work as a team and I think that’s why we’re having this success in the city, (why) we’re having the growth in the city and the leadership that the city has had over the years with the mayors, it’s been really positive. I just can’t wait to see what the city looks like 10 years from now.

What was your favourite position in the department? They always say the best time of your career is when you’re working patrol on the road, and I did have some outstanding times. Every police officer will tell you, the beginning is always, probably, the best.

er really imagined what it would be (like), I never imagined I would be here. It’s just been unbelievable, to be honest (laughs). Unbelievable.

Any investigations that still haunt you? There’s a couple, one was Megan Gunderson. I was the initial investigator in that (case) and the only other one was the Crysta David homicide that occurred in the mid ’90s, where the young girl on Fourth Avenue was killed in her basement suite.Those two still … I wonder.

Was policing everything you expected? You know what? It was more. I would not change it for the world. I’ve met so many great people, I’ve experienced a lot of interesting things over the years, some good, some bad, but it’s been such a fulfilling career. (Laughs) I think I joined the police department just because I was in between jobs at the time and I nev-

What are you going to miss the most? Everybody says this but it’s true – the people, the majority of the people (laughs). It’s going to be the people I worked with … both sworn and civilian because sometimes we focus on the sworn members of the organization, but I can tell you this, the civilian members are critical.They are an important cog within the wheel, and I’ve worked with some outstanding ones over the years at various levels of organization.

If you get too hot after basking in the hammocks, playing a game of beach volleyball or sunning at the urban beach at Westminster Pier Park, you now have a place to cool down. The latest addition to the riverfront is some water misters that are located on the riverfront, not far from the hammocks and tree planters (and west of the volleyball courts) at Westminster Pier Park. “We are putting in misters in the timber wharf area,” said Erika Mashig, the city’s parks and open space planner. “I wouldn’t call them water features – they are going to be water misters that cool people down.” The misters were set to be installed over the course of three days and were expected to be operating by Tuesday, July 7.

Public art planned for entrance to downtown

A new public art installation will greet people entering downtown New Westminster. New Westminster city council has approved a recommendation from its public art advisory committee to award the proposal Rorschach/Sentinel to Jacqueline Metz and Nancy Chew for their submission as part of the Gateway to Downtown New Westminster public art competition.The piece will be located along the median boulevard at the eastern end of Columbia Street in downtown. “Rorschach/Sentinel is monumental and intricate, its verticality playing off the horizontal sweep of the SkyTrain track and complimenting the vertical structures of the SkyTrain bridge – as if they are all stand-

ing sentry together,” said a statement by the artists. “Its strong imagery is easily read against its surrounding and reminds us of the presence of the working waterway and the local heritage. It is potent and iconic – marking the entrance into downtown New Westminster.” The project is a joint effort of the City of New Westminster and the former New Westminster Commu-

nity Development Society, which provided the city with $37,000 for the project.The city is contributing $38,000 through its public art reserve fund. While the city has yet to sign a contract with the artists, Rorschach/Sentinel is expected to be in place on Columbia Street in the fall of 2015. – Theresa McManus

Royal City resident returns to the stage Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

MarieWest really wasn’t sure what to expect when she decided to make a return to the stage. She’d been on a hiatus from performing, raising her two young children – now aged three-and-a-half and 15 months – and she knew how fast things can change when you’re not in the game. So when she decided to throw caution to the wind and audition for this summer’s Theatre Under the Stars, she didn’t know how it would all turn out. “I thought I’d give it a shot,” she says simply. It worked out, asWest landed the plum role of Nancy in Oliver!, which is alternating with Hairspray over the summer at Stanley Park’s Malkin Bowl. West, who’s lived in New West for the past six years, was no stranger to the stage before her adventures in

motherhood began. She’s a graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in NewYork and has appeared in a number ofVancouver-area productions, including starring roles in both The Music Man and Carousel with Royal City Musical Theatre. She

I’ve been loving every minute of it. also previously appeared with Theatre Under the Stars in Crazy forYou back in 2004. Chatting by phone with the sound of small voices in the background,West laughs about the fact that 10 years have gone by that quickly. “I’m really excited to be back,” she says, noting she hit that point when she was ready to pursue her love of musical theatre once again.

“There just comes that time when, as a mom, I started to feel like my head was coming out of the sand,” she says. “I was needing and wanting a creative outlet again.” It wasn’t an easy decision, she admits, especially since her partner works in the film industry and that means that scheduling life around the needs of two small children isn’t always the easiest. But she has her motherin-law lined up to help out with caring for the kids once technical rehearsals begin – and the rewards of being back have been many. “It’s amazing. I’ve been loving every minute of it,” she says. As with most TUTS performances, the cast runs the gamut of experience levels – from first-time performers (including newcomer Carly Ronning in the title role) to veteran professionals. ButWest says that, across the board, it’s a hands-down Continued on page 20

Your journey starts here.

Pilot

Popularity usually has little to do with what’s on the inside, but what people see on the outside. So, how do you like it now? BY MALCOLM GUNN

www.wheelbasemedia.com

What Honda vehicle seats up to eight passengers, has moving-van stowage capacity and comes with a standard V6 engine? - naturally, the Odyssey minivan. But the Honda Pilot is also the right answer. The same-but-different models are about equally versatile; however the Pilot’s key advantage is an available all-wheel-drive system that allows it to go that extra mile when road and/or weather conditions become unpleasant. Honda’s third-generation Pilot, which heads to market this spring, represents a much different design approach. The previous boxy structure that made the Pilot look the part of a proper boulder basher has been supplanted by more mainstream sheetmetal. Following the usual market research due diligence, Honda determined that a softened appearance could earn the Pilot more friends (i.e. women buyers or influencers). That same approach has worked well with the Toyota Highlander, Nissan Pathfinder and Chevrolet Traverse, whose utility also caters to family life. That’s not to say that the Pilot is necessarily a copycat. The grille is definitely all Honda and from the sides and rear the styling is as plain as vanilla, although not in a disagreeable way. The latest Pilot grows about nine centimetres in overall length and about five centimetres between the front and rear wheels, while the roofline is slightly lower for improved aerodynamics. The changes mean a bit more passenger legroom plus

slightly more room behind the third-row seat. The rear side door openings make thirdrow access a bit easier while pushbuttons on the outer edges of the second row bench, or newly optional individual high-back chairs, make them super easy to slide and tilt forward. Getting in and out is about as easy as it can be. There’s a myriad of bins and storage compartments along with enough USB ports (ﬁve) plus a 115volt outlet to satisfy the power-up needs for all aboard. The engine is the latest rendition of Honda’s 3.5-litre V6 that makes 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. That’s up from the previous 250/253 rating. The V6 mates to one of two automatic transmissions depending on which trim level is selected. Base LX, EX and EXL models come with a six-speed unit, while the top-end Touring version employs a nine-speed automatic. The differences between the two are almost imperceptible, which is testament to the smoothness and efﬁciency of both. All-wheel-drive is optional with LX, but standard with EX, EXL and Touring. Honda says the hardware is about nine kilograms lighter than before and responds more quickly. Unlike most competing systems, the Pilot’s AWD can direct 100 per cent of the rear torque to the outside wheel while turning, without applying braking force to the inside wheel. The resulting “torque

vectoring” creates more corning control/stability with reduced understeer (the natural tendency for the vehicle to want to travel in a straight line when the steering wheel is turned). AWD-equipped Pilots also have “Intelligent Traction Management” that lets the driver vary torque delivery to the four wheels via Normal, Snow, Mud and Sand terrain settings. Despite the increased dimensions and added power, fuel economy is pegged at 12.4 l/100 km in the city and 8.8 highway for frontwheel-drive six-speed models and 13.0/9.3 with AWD (12.4/9.3 with the nine-speed). Those numbers are slightly better than for the 2015 Pilot, aided by a 136-kilogram weight reduction. Over the road, a combination of less heft, more power, and AWD improvements provide the 1,850-kilogram-plus Pilot with impressive acceleration and a noticeable crispness in the turns, which is a quality that many of its competitors lack. We’re not talking sports car-like by any means - that’s not what this rig is all about - but the Pilot’s sharpness is reassuring. At $37,200 (up to $52,200 for the content-laden Touring AWD) the Pilot’s pricing is little changed over the 2015 model. Virtually everything else has been thoroughly retooled, replaced or refreshed to make the vehicle drive better, load and unload more easily and, therefore, should be more popular.

What you should know 2016 Honda Pilot Type: Engine (hp): Transmissions: Market position:

Four-door, front- /all-wheel-drive tall wagon 3.6-litre SOHC V6 (280) Six-speed automatic; nine-speed automatic (opt.) The popularity of mid-size wagons with three rows of seats remains steady due to the transportation needs of many families along with the need for AWD to securely transport them in a variety of conditions.

Points:

Total redesign forgoes edgy for conservative; larger vehicle weighs signiﬁcantly less than previous model and most competing brands. Lighter is better; improved V6 delivers more power with reduced fuel consumption; Adding all the electronic safety features and luxury content raises prices into Acura MDX territory.

Safety:

Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control.

part of the show,” she says. But she adds that fans of the musical, and of the 1968 movie version, won’t be disappointed.

The Hyack Festival Association, in conjunction with our premiere sponsors Cartwright Jewelers and The New West Record Newspaper, congratulate our NWSS graduating Hyack Ambassadors and wish them continued success!

You can hear the exasperation – the painful preteen pleas, the “Ah, C’mon Mom!” when told they have to leave their devices behind.This is a frightening prospect for parent and child alike: A camping trip with no devices! But it’s worth it, trust me.With a bit of planning and preparation, you are guaranteed to have a wonderful time connecting to your “disconnected” kids. Engage them in the art of tying down the campsite. Lead by example and wow your kids with your “knotty” knowledge. Essential Knots by Neville Olliffe covers everything from fishing and boating knots, to decorative knots like the “double Chinese button.” Help break the ice with other kids in the campground by inviting everyone to try a new game from The 175 Best Camp Games by Kathleen Fraser. Once

the ice is broken with other families, the kids will happily play games of their own making for hours. At bedtime, place one or two body books for kids close by, strategically in or near their tent.They will be curious and spend time on their own, learning about themselves. And they will be happy to do this alone! We have puberty books that we can recommend by Lynda Madaras, Shushann Movsessian, and many others. Plan a day hike and take along a species identification handbook. Our collections cover trees, plants, rocks, birds, fish, and other animals for many Northwest regions. Make a game out of identifying plants, animals, or rock types. If space is tight, consider a pocket-sized catchall book like Nature:An Illustrated Guide to Common Plants and Animals by James Kavanagh. Lastly, don’t forget the

City Beat West Coast eagle soars in Calgary Tereza Verenca

Got a News Tip? editorial@royalcityrecord.com

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

A New Westminster man has been wowing Calgary Stampede-goers all week long with his eagle – but it’s not the white-headed, yellow-billed bird of prey you may be thinking of. Peter Boulanger helped kick off the Calgary Stampede festival on July 3 by flying his sixty-foot wide, 550-pound aluminum eagle during a six-minute evening performance. “It’s about 50 feet in the air when it starts going over the Queen Mary stage,” he told the Record during a phone interview from Cow Town. “The lighting is just absolutely beautiful.There’s kind of an ‘oooooohh’ from the audience as soon as they can see it.” The eagle is Boulanger’s second large-scale marionette (the first being David, commissioned for the opening of the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre in 2010).The project began a few years ago when he got a call from Stampede organizers to create something for

their 2012 event. “The only direction I was given was, ‘We’d like a giant eagle.’They didn’t mention how big,” Boulanger recalled. The bird was originally designed to be 90 feet wide, but it was soon realized that would’ve been way too big. After settling for 30 feet less, Boulanger started to build, spending 14 hours a day working in his shop. “It was just nuts,” he said,

adding it was a much more demanding structure than David. “In the wings, there’s 250 places where wings cross each other and have to be welded together, and each of those spots has to be welded from four sides, so roughly 1,000 welds on each wing.” The structure (the largest of its kind in the world) is flown on wires, with Boulanger steering the wings – “the most difficult and dan-

gerous part” – and another puppeteer moving the head. The eyes even light up. At the 2012 Calgary Stampede, the eagle was accompanied by a performer on a separate harness, who “rode” on its shoulders. This year, a dream catcher-like structure was built so that a performer could make it look as though he was being held in the eagle’s claws.

Art space features diversity of local artists Theresa McManus

A piece of “prime real estate” in Anvil Centre is proving to be so popular it’s already booking into 2017. Biliana Velkova, the city’s arts coordinator, said the community art space is booked solid through 2016 and is already considering artists’ groups wanting to display in the space in 2017. “That’s just New Westminster artist groups and we haven’t repeated anybody,” she said. “For such a small city, I am really surprised myself. I thought, ‘Oh, we’ll be done in a year.’” Since its opening last fall, the community art space has exhibited works in a variety of mediums, including pottery, fibre arts, painting and graphic arts.The space has also been embraced by a diverse group of artists from throughout the city, including the Arts Council of New Westminster (Cover Story: Album Art Re-Imagined); Artists in the Boro

(Let Me Count the Ways); and Century House arts and crafts (Expression of Spring). The latest exhibit in the community art space,The Art of History, features four local artists – Gillian Wright, Angie Au Hemphill, Katherine Freund and PeriLane Nilan, who are exploring the city’s past through painting, drawing and mixed media works.The exhibition continues until July 24. Along with more established artists like those taking part in The Art of History,Velkova said the space has also provided a venue where emerging artists can show their work. “It is only open to New Westminster artists,” she told the Record. “Other municipalities have community galleries, of course, but their selection process is far reaching.They have artists from Metro Vancouver, whereas ours really celebrates New Westminster.” Each group of artists gets two months to display

Community OUR PAST

Photographs show the way things used to be Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Most people seem to enjoy historical images of almost anything. There is a tremendous interest in seeing the way something used to be – what a building or street looked like, an old room or two of an early family home, grandparents on their wedding day, etc. Another aspect is the background detail that can be discovered and learned from by viewing the older images very closely, often in closeup form. Our use of this process in our historical research traces back almost 50 years (now that’s hard to believe!). Using magnifiers, closeup camera lenses, and now digital cameras and scanners, we have found a great deal of information to add to our studies. A few examples are in order. One family had old family photos with one view showing a person wearing a particular group pin on his lapel.The pin was too small to identify clearly, but a closeup photo of the old print and the lapel pin allowed the family to confirm the group and even note a particular lodge number. Another family wanted

to see if they could determine whether a ring worn by a great grandmother was the one that was in a family collection. After reviewing a number of prints we found one that allowed a closeup view to be taken, clearly showing the lady’s hand and the ring in question.

There is a tremendous interest in seeing the way something used to be.

In New Westminster, some people believed that the old Hyack Fire Hall, a small building on Columbia Street from the 1860s on, had been torn down prior to the city’s Great Fire of 1898. In a couple of photographs of the appropriate block of Columbia Street we were able to pick out the old hall and show it tucked in between two other much larger structures in the downtown, where it was, eventually lost in 1898. Closeups have often been

used with aerial views with excellent results. Frequently there is no clear photo available of a particular structure though it appears in an aerial view. If the aerial image is reasonably clear, a house or building picture can be obtained. In our own work, we have created such useful images hundreds of times. This is a fascinating adjunct to the study of local history, which we have put to good use here in the Royal City. At the July Historical Society presentation on Wednesday, July 15, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the New Westminster Public Library in the uptown area of the city, we will show a slide program filled with examples of this process in our local history. What can you expect to see? Examples will include a look at Columbia Street, a parade in 1898, some old grave stones, details in a local 1890s grocery store, Chinatown and a whole lot more. Join us – you’ll be amazed at the details you’ve never seen before.

Inclusion B.C., New West Pride, the Garden Gals and others are lined up for 2016 The community art space is located on the third floor of Anvil Centre, near the entrance to the theatre. “Where it’s situated, it’s on the most windowed space of the Anvil Centre.When you are walking along Columbia Street at night you can actually see the work from the outside. That’s prime real estate,” Velkova said. “It does showcase to a really diverse audience as well. Because it’s on the back of the Anvil Centre theatre, it gets their audiences whenever there is a performance. “We also have the conference centre.When they have events, their audiences spills out to the community arts space so they get to see it.When we have our own VIBE events or cultural events that happen on the third floor, it’s an open

Coffee grounds, tea bags are good for gardens Anne Marrison GREEN SCENE

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Question: I was wondering what tea bags, coffee grounds and eggshells do for plants and could you apply them to any type of plant or only specific plants? - Norma Burnett, Chilliwack

or white forms.They’re covered with flowers all summer and are very sweetsmelling.They die in winter, but re-seed themselves abundantly in spring. If you prefer taller plants you might like the perennial Oriental poppies that produce huge, spectacular flowers in red, orange, white or pink in late May.These seed themselves around if you leave the seed capsules on the plants. If you prefer spring flowers, the perennial Hellebore

orientalis flowers give pleasure for many months. Buds pop up in late January, followed by cup-shaped, longlasting flowers then interesting spiky seedheads. The hellebore leaves are evergreen all year until late winter when they should be cut back to make way for next year’s growth and flowers. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions.

Answer: To give your soil some life, Sea Soil or compost spread over the bed would help the fertility immensely. If you don’t have your own compost, garden centres sell bags of commercial compost. A bag of one or the other would be sufficient. On top of whatever nourishment you choose, bark mulch suppresses weeds

flowers. After flowering, the old rosettes die, but new rosettes quickly fill in. Sempervivums are extremely drought-resistant. Cranesbills are another possibility. My top choice would be the deep purpleblue flowered one, Rosanne. This stays blooming for a very long period. It’s dwarf and spreads into a wide, low mound. A pretty, mat-forming annual which is also a great bee plant is sweet alyssum. This is available in mauve

Question: I am planning to make a small bed approximately sixby-five feet and plant two lilies and a banana plant there.All are fairly small. Could I layer the top layer of soil with wood chips or something to give it life? Also what type of flowers would go well with lilies and the banana plant? – Allan L., Burnaby

very well.When seeds finally blow in on the wind and weeds do start, they’re very easy to pull out of bark mulch. My top choice for planting under your banana tree would be sempervivums. Their leaves are rosettes in various patterns and shades: reddish, blue-grey, green with red tips, etc. These plants form a carpet so dense weeds seldom germinate. In summer, some of the older rosettes produce thick stems with

Answer: All three are generally good for the garden.The beneficial elements in them are slow-release and present in relatively small quantities. So you don’t have to keep any of them away from any specific plants. Allowing them to break down in the compost is one good way of using them. Another is blending them into the soil around various plants, but not concentrating any one kind in one particular spot. The tea in tea bags contains nitrogen. So do coffee grounds.The coffee grounds also have trace amounts of phosphorous and potassium. Eggshells provide calcium to the plants they are placed near. Calcium is especially

valuable for tomatoes. The only snag with eggshells is that most people just crush them (potato mashers work well). But in the ground crushed eggshells take ages to break down. Ground-up eggshells release calcium much faster. An old blender might do this job.

MacDonald, a Grade 12 student at NewWestminster Secondary School, celebrated his graduation along with 352 other students at the NWSS Dry Grad festivities on June 25. MacDonald, however, had a little more reason to celebrate: he was the random

prize draw winner of a 2001 Ford Focus 2D Hatchback. “I was so taken aback having won a car, I couldn’t help but scream like a little girl!” he said. KeyWest Ford has been donating a quality used car to NWSS Dry Grad since 2012. “Safety checks, tune-up, repairs and cleaning of the

chosen car comes first to make sure it is ready for the road,” saysTyler Birdsell, marketing and event coordinator for KeyWest Ford. “We believe in supporting the community, and that includes supporting students.

Juniors take on A’s in ﬁrst round NewWest finishes in fourth place following 17-5 win over Burnaby in season ender

Tom Berridge

tberridge@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster has a tall order in front of it heading into the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League playoffs. The junior A Salmonbellies finished off Burnaby 17-5 in their season ender at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Sunday. But now comes the hard part. The fourth-place-finishing ’Bellies must face the 20-1-0 Coquitlam Adanacs in the best-of-five opening round playoff, which begins Wednesday at the Poirier palace. Brandon Clelland led the charge against Burnaby, scoring four times in a game-high six-point outing, all the goals coming in the middle period. Deadline pickup Dane Sorenson and Jeremy Bosher both tallied hat tricks in similar five-point nights. Carter Dickson also garnered five points in the win over Burnaby. Tyrell Hamer-Jackson, Adam Dickson and Owen Barker all contributed a pair of goals in the one-sided win. Newcomer Kevin Orleman and Tyler Landry both got quality minutes in goal for the junior ’Bellies, while a number of regulars got the night off, heading into the first week of playoffs. “We’ll have to play Coquitlam at some point anyway,” said New Westminster head coach Dan Perrault. “They’re a strong

team but we’re up for the challenge.” Picking apart weaknesses in a team that lost just one game very early in the season and is currently on a 19-game winning streak won’t be an easy task. Just two days earlier, New West was humbled by the A’s 17-4 in Coquitlam. Junior A scoring champ Cole Shafer led all scorers with eight points, while top keeper Christian Del Bianco pumped up his save percentage with a .0882 outing

in their final league meeting. Coquitlam’s power play led the league this season with a better than .500 clip. The Adanacs’ shortman was even better, allowing a league-low 25 goals against and scoring a season-high 14 shorthanded counters, while killing off penalties more than 75 per cent of the time. New West’s power play is next best and had just three shorthanded goals scored against it this season – a

league low. The ’Bellies penalty kill was also second best this season, despite been whistled down for more than 450 minutes in penalties. “They’re a solid team,” admitted Perrault. “They move the ball extremely well on offence and their pace is quick.We can’t be caught flat-footed on defence. “On defence, they’re solid there, too.We got to get into qualify scoring areas, and every game we just

have to compete.There can be no passengers and no shifts off. Everyone has to be on top of their game.” New West opens the playoffs on Wednesday at the Coquitlam Sports Centre at 7:30 p.m. Game 2 is at Queen’s Park Arena on Saturday with an early 2:30 p.m. afternoon start. Delta opens up its semifinal playoff against runnerup Victoria on the Island on Saturday.

New Westminster sprinter Raquel Tjernagel competed well in the senior women’s division at the Canadian track and field championships in Edmonton last weekend. The 17-year-old high school champion placed sixth in both the women’s 200 and 400-metre dash. Tjernagel, who gave away as much as 10 years to 400m champion Carline Muir in the metric quartermile, finished with a sixthplace time of 53.18 in the senior women’s final on Saturday. On Sunday, the New Westminster Secondary School grad, was again the youngest in the field of eight in the 200m final. Tjernagel’s time in the 200m was 23.90. Her personal best is 23.34, just a tick or two off the Olympic standard of 23.20. Earlier in the track season,Tjernagel posted even better times at a pair of high-performance track meets in California. The Coquitlam Cheetahs club runner shattered her own personal best in the 400m, clocking a sub53-second 52.52, which, at the time, was the fastest time by an under-20 female in the world.

Tom Berridge

tberridge@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster Salmonbellies suffered their fifth defeat in six starts following a 9-7 upset loss to the Burnaby Lakers on Friday. Burnaby’s come-from-behind victory over the former first-place ’Bellies at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre was New West’s fifth defeat in its last six Western Lacrosse Association games after beginning the season on a torrid 6-0 run. Burnaby looked ripe for the picking in the open-

ing 20 minutes, falling behind 5-3 on the scoresheet, but settled down in the final two-thirds, outscoring the visitors 6-2 the rest of the way. Shane MacDonald, Luke Gillespie and third star Jordan McBride all scored to give the visitors a 3-0 advantage in the opening four minutes of the Western Lacrosse Association matchup. Starter Eric Penney provided the stops the Salmonbellies needed to win, making 40 saves in the New West cage. But after an unlucky outcome earlier in the week

against Langley, Burnaby continued to show the similar emerging loose-ball skills and improving back-end play that was evident in the first two periods against the Thunder. In the end, those two strengths proved the difference in the match. Once again it was the inspired play of first star Robert Church, who found a way past the goalkeeping of Penney. The talented righthander opened the second-period scoring with low bouncer at the seven-minute mark and then set up Dane Stevens for the game-tying goal

a minute later. After Keegan Bal gave New West a brief one-goal lead on an off-balance shot from the right side that beat Tye Belanger, Church replied quickly, knotting the contest off the bench with a deft move on a transition counter. Scott Jones put Burnaby in the lead for good, burying the ball behind Penney from the right crease on a power play with just seconds remaining in the period. Former Salmonbellie Peter McFetridge, with his second transition goal of the game, iced the contest scor-

ing into an empty net with the New West keeper pulled for an extra attacker. “We’ve got to get some wins,” said McBride after the game. But while the New West assistant captain was hopeful the team’s strong start will pay dividends in the final push for a playoff position, the Salmonbellies have still yet to lock up season series wins against any of the contending clubs behind first-place Victoria. Church led all scorers with a six-point outing, while Lincoln had two goals and three assists and Jones

chipped in with four points, including a pair of markers. McBride, who scored on a penalty shot in the final two minutes of the contest, had a hat trick for the 7-5-0 Salmonbellies. Burnaby is right behind in third place with a record of 6-5-0. “We have to buckle up,” McBride added. “We should have won that one tonight.” New West will host the Maple Ridge Burrards at Queen’s Park Arena on Thursday. Game time is 7:45 p.m.

Long-course Hyacks seventh Tom Berridge

tberridge@newwestrecord.ca

Two Hyack club youngsters went head-to-head all meet long at the Swim B.C. long course provincial championships last weekend. Ten-year-old Sergey Chernomorchenko and Nichita Spatari, 11, shared six medals between them and set four new club records in the 11-and-under boys’ division after seven A final swims for the up-andcoming pair at the Commonwealth Place pool in Saanich. Nichita nipped his younger teammate for first place, winning the 400-metre individual medley in a club record time of 5:47.55. He also edged out Sergey for second place in the

400m freestyle, breaking a 1980 Hyacks record, with a 5:03.80 clocking. The younger Sergey turned the tables on Nichita in the 200m butterfly, winning a bronze medal in a club record time of 2:46.02, while also placing fourth ahead of Nichita in the 50m fly sprint with a club record 34.43 time. Nichita and Sergey also finished second and third, respectively, in the 800m free. Sergey bettered his clubmate in A final swims in the 100m fly and 200m free. Sergey made a separate A final, placing third in the 200m backstroke. Octavia Lau was another busy Hyack in the pool, winning six individual medals in the 12/13 girls’ division. Lau won the 200 and

’Bellies beat USBoxla 13-8

400m free, placed second in the free sprint and third in the 50m back, 100m fly and 100m free. Lau also shared a silver medal and a club record with Nicole Sue,Victoria Tocheva and Kyra Tamagi in the 200m free relay. Stella Jin won a pair of gold in fly, winning both the 50 and 100m races in the girls’ 14/15 age group. Mia Bottrill was a silver medalist for the Hyacks in the 16-and-over girls’ 200m fly. Bottrill also won a bronze with the Hyack girls’ relay team of Elaine Lam, May Li and the 13-year-old Lau in the 800m free. Zoe Froh won an individual second-place medal in the 12/13 girls’ 400m IM. Froh picked up a relay gold with Victoria Toche-

va, Carleen Gao and Vivian Truong in the 12-andunder 200m free relay that broke a 1975 club record. The Hyack foursome also placed second in the 800m free relay. Sehajvir Singh earned a bronze medal in the boys’ 14/15 200m IM. Singh also earned three relay medals. The 14-year-old swimmer joined BrodieYoung, Martin Dimitrov and Nicholas Lee for a silver medal in the 14-and-under 200m free relay. The four boys also took home a second relay silver in the 200m medley. Singh,Young and Dimitrov teamed up for a third medal, while Kai Wing Kong subbed for Lee, in the Hyacks second-place finish in the 800m free relay.

The New Westminster Salmonbellies downed the visiting intermediate all-star USBoxla team 13-8 at Queen’s Park Arena last Sunday. The U.S. team is now 1-2 after an opening tour 11-10 win over Burnaby on July 2.The Americans also lost to the Langley Thunder. The U.S. teens finish up the tour in Coquitlam today (Wednesday) at 6 p.m.
