When faith fails: A matter of Pride After coming out in the media, a city teen gets a call from her church and is forced to make a decision

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Last month, when 17-year-old Tory Inglis was featured in a newspaper article about her involvement in the city’s first-ever Pride celebration, she never expected to face fallout from her church.

Tory, a lesbian, has been going to the First Presbyterian Church on Seventh Street in New Westminster her entire life but withdrew her membership last month, after the church’s minister and another senior church member took her to task for being involved with New Westminster’s Pride Day. “They want me to leave the Pride organization, even though it stands for all of the things they preach in their church, which is acceptance of all people,” Tory said.

Tory knew the church opposed gay marriage but was unaware that her involvement with Pride would be so contentious.

“I knew their stance on it was you can’t get married,” she said.

“I didn’t realize it’s … almost like ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy in the States.”

A photograph of Tory and two gay men was featured on a front-page story in the June 12th edition of The Record. Roughly a month after the story appeared, Tory said the minister called her house to talk about her involvement with Pride. They discussed the gay “lifestyle” during what was an uncomfortable and emotional phone call for Tory.

Tory later met with the minister and another female church member. Tory was anxious about the meeting.

Tory, a New Westminster Secondary School student, said she doesn’t regret posing for the photo or being interviewed for the story, despite the fallout.

As well, her parents are “100 per cent” supportive of the article, she said.

Tory’s mother, Karen Inglis, has also left the church because of the situation. After Tory’s meeting, Karen had her own sit down with the minister and the church member.

10,000 party on 12th St. Organizer delighted with festival turnout and variety of entertainment

BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com

Calling it the best 12th Street Festival he’s seen, organizer John Ashdown was still over-the-moon happy two days after the event ended.

“It went good,” said Ashdown. “We set records with attendance, and we had such a great variety of music, food and activities for the kids.”

Ashdown said at the height of the Sunday afternoon festival, there were 4,000 people packed onto 12th Street between Sixth Avenue and Eighth Avenue.

“We go by what the police For more photo coverage tell us, and we figure there were of this story, go to 10,000 people who came and www.royalcityrecord.com visited 12th Street at some point during Sunday,” he said.

The festivities kicked off with a pancake breakfast, and, as organizers geared up for the 11 a.m. start of the festival, the clouds went away and the sun shone brightly.

“Everything went according to plan,” said Ashdown.

“What made it even better this year was we seemed to have a lot more kids this year. The bouncy castle was very busy, and the kids zone seemed to be full all day.

“I think a lot of families did a staycation and decided to do something closer to home,” he said.

The night ended with the after-party at the Terminal Pub, with volunteers thinking about ways to make next year’s event even better.

“We had some people ask us to put in a beer garden but we have to look at what that means,” said Ashdown.

“This is a family-oriented event first. … All in all, we haven’t had many complaints, and everybody had a great time.”

When Tory came out to her mom two years ago, Karen barely batted an eye. It just wasn’t a problem to them, and the family believed they could maintain their church membership and accept their daughter.

It was Tory’s public display in the newspaper that seems to have gotten the backs up of senior church officials, the family believes. “(The minister) said because it became public knowledge, we have to act on it,” Karen said.

The Record contacted the First Presbyterian Church’s minister to request an interview for this story.

Rev. Timothy Bruneau wanted to have a face-to-face interview with The Record and the fellow church member who had met with Tory. Due to time constraints, The Record was unable to meet with the church before Bruneau’s summer holidays.

Religion and gay folks – the last frontier?

While some religious organizations, It is probably not surprising to the such as the Unitarians, welcomed gay majority of our readers that young Tory people early on, for many other faiths, Inglis received a call from her church it has been a real struggle. Some allow after she came out publicly endorsing gay people to remain members although what that church, no doubt, considers their belief system condemns an inappropriate or, more the “sin” and/or the “sinner.” likely, an immoral “lifestyle.”

Other religious groups, such Whether the church elders THE RECORD as Anglicans, have been divwould have turned a blind ided on the issue. eye had she not gone public, There was a time when gays were is another question – but there is clearly sentenced to be burned at the stake by no turning back for Tory or her church. religious leaders. And then there was a Religion and gay and lesbian folk time, much more recently, when a gay have had an often rancorous history.

OUR VIEW

minister in many faiths would attract censure or at least a headline or two. But nowadays, gay and lesbian ministers in many faiths are, if not totally accepted by their parishioners, at least tolerated.

But, currently, human rights legislation in B.C. and Canada does not forbid religious organizations to deny membership or ordainment to gays and lesbians if that church’s doctrine holds that homosexuality is forbidden.

Is that right or wrong? We, of course, have our own opinion. Our opinion is that human rights is an evolving

process, one that includes education, engagement and enforcement.

We hope that in New Westminster, we’ll reach a point in the not too distant future where Tory Inglis’s treatment by her church will be seen as an error in judgment – one based on too little experience and information and too much dogma. But we also understand that change does not come as quickly as many of us would like, and people of good conscience and Christian compassion can hold beliefs that we find discriminatory.

Gateway pipeline a PR disaster IN THE HOUSE

T

KEITH BALDREY

his year’s bad timing award has to go to Enbridge Inc., the latest oil company to become enmeshed in a public relations nightmare caused by a leak in one of its pipelines.

I wrote in this space a couple of months back that Enbridge’s bid for approval of its northern Gateway pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat would be a hard sell, from both political and environmental perspectives.

That hard sell has now become near impossible, as public outrage over the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and now Enbridge’s own spill in Michigan may be sounding the death knell of Enbridge’s plans.

While its Gateway pipeline will still go through a federal environmental process, it’s almost impossible to believe the Harper government will give the final go-ahead. While there is some local support for the project, based on its job creation potential, the opposition is more organized and vocal.

First Nations firmly oppose the pipeline, and the Michigan

spill will heighten concerns about the same thing happening in this province. Enbridge has been criticized for its inadequate response to the spill of 3.1 million litres of oil into the Kalamazoo River, creating a 50kilometre slick that threatens to drift into Lake Michigan.

As well, it has been accused of ignoring concerns that its pipeline had seriously deteriorated. Not exactly the kind of publicity Enbridge needs as its pushes to build another such pipeline here.

The spill in Michigan took place in a populated area that is relatively easy to get to for cleanup. But the proposed northern pipeline runs through remote, pristine wilderness where access is anything but easy, thus presenting a nightmarish scenario of a similar leak occurring in a place where a clean-up response may almost be impossible.

But before all the antiGateway folks get too excited, remember this: Alberta’s dirty tar sands oil will still be shipped to Asia (notably China) and that means potentially even more oil being loaded and shipped out of Vancouver.

That could translate into even more tanker traffic through Burrard Inlet and the Juan de Fuca Strait. Tankers have been plying those waters for decades, and traffic is already up significantly the past few years.

Cote misunderstood letters Dear Editor:

Re: Pier park reclaims waterfront, Letter to the Editor, The Record, July 28.

Mr. Jonathan Cote, with respect, you clearly misunderstand the letters that have been published.

I don’t recall letters or citizens that don’t want a new park.

I have read about concerns regarding the cost to build the park, the return on investment and the timing of the purchase.

Others about the remediation plan, the impact on the Fraser River and safety for people who will visit the park.

Was the public ever asked if it wanted the city to spend more than $1,031 for every man, woman and child in New Westminster (estimated cost to ◗ Oil Page 8 complete the park)?

No doubt it was great to get $17 million in grants, but no mention is made of the $17 million the city will spend ($8.5 million to build and $8.5 million to purchase). Perhaps as others have written (if the city had consulted), they may have opted to fix Canada Games Pool instead.

What are the economic benefits that Cote espouses? Was the business community consulted about spending $54 million dollars? What are the borrowing costs on our share? Where are the connections to the park? Are these costs included? Will it be hard to get to, like Sapperton Park?

Jonathan speaks about how much park will be completed and what is included, but this is still not confirmed (see the article, Wharves first to go, The Record, July 28). On consultation, there have only been two meetings. Is this enough for a project this size?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pier park questions remain ◗ continued from page 6

There is no question, let me repeat this for Jonathan, there is no question that residents will love a park on this site.

All we are asking is it at any cost, will it be safe and was it the wrong priority? We trust the city will provide a full accounting before the election and prior to the ribbon cutting in the fall of 2011.

Long-form census makes good financial sense Dear Editor:

Since the end of June, I have watched with an increasingly sinking feeling our federal government’s plan for the 2011 census; namely, to do away with the mandatory long form and replace it with a voluntary survey.

This decision will cost taxpayers $30 million more and seriously damage the information the census provides; the quality will be worse, as it will ignore important and vulnerable parts of society (the poor, new immigrants, etc.) and will make it impossible to compare future censuses with nearly a half-century of painstakingly gathered information that has been called a “national treasure” for the role it plays in making our country great.

The logic of paying more for a worse product is obvious and should offend all members of society who find government waste distasteful.

However, this decision is doubly wasteful.

The information, which is gathered by the census, is used every day to make good decisions by governments, community organizations and businesses.

Commonplace questions like “what kind of languages should the New West library stock?” or “how many buses do we need to purchase in the next 10 years?” are answered largely by the census.

Businesses (especially small) use the census to target their flyers, or to decide which neighbourhoods they should open stores in. Doctors use it to plan life-saving pandemic response plans, or to focus hospital care. Nearly everything you care about is touched by the long-form census – and without the census, the many decisions we (as a society) need to make will be less informed and, therefore, worse.

Worse decisions mean worse outcomes for our community, and a shameful waste of money.

There is no replacement for the census.

No other survey can provide the same information and create the same value.

The government’s stated rationale is that some find the census “intrusive” (though the privacy commissioner has recorded only a handful of complaints)

and disagree with it being mandatory.

With respect, I disagree – we live in an amazing and wonderful country. Part of being a citizen means helping our country stay that way.

Anonymously answering a handful of questions every 25 years, in the interests of good government and sensible decision-making, should be a responsibility of citizenship we all welcome.

I certainly do, and I hope you feel the same way – and will call upon our government to change its decision on this matter.

Jonathan Graves, New Westminster

New high school plan works for everyone Dear Editor:

I am thrilled at the prospect of three new schools, including a high school for the children of New Westminster.

As chair of the Lord Tweedsmuir parent advisory council, I look forward to the beginning of the new school year this September.

When we will consult with the parents of Tweedsmuir, this plan will be the top of our agenda. We look forward to a robust consultation process.

In my opinion, this is a very wellthought out plan by both the city and the school board. The plan does its best to address the concerns of the sports community, the Massey Theatre group, parents and school-aged children of New Westminster.

The school district and the city have done more than I expected to help out our theatre community by offering them $10,000 a month for a 30-month period, during the time that the theatre is not available.

When the new theatre is finished, they will have a new state-of-the-art facility that is only 200 hundred odd seats smaller than the current theatre.

The Massey Theatre group have been involved in the process, as we all have, over the last 10 to 12 years. This may not be the result they were expecting, but it is the best result for all of New Westminster.

We get a new high school, middle school and grade school.

I am told that almost half the school population of New Westminster will be sitting in a new school once this project is finished.

In addition, New Westminster will have a new Massey Theatre, and a repaired sports track with the stadium seats attached.

I think all levels of government, provincial, municipal and the school board, should be congratulated and supported.

Let’s get on with the process of consultation and input from the community and then let’s build these schools.

For now, the tankers have carried oil from the Kinder Morgan pipeline that extends from Alberta to Burnaby. One of the trickiest parts of the ocean voyage occurs early on: navigating through the Second Narrows in Burrard Inlet, which is just 121 metres wide and not very deep.

The BP oil spill understandably has everyone concerned about oil drilling and has revived awful memories of the Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska.

Many people have called for a ban on tanker traffic.

But those who want to kill all the pipelines and beach all the oil tankers are ignoring an essential part of the picture – we depend on oil for our state of living.

That’s not to say we shouldn’t try to wean ourselves off of oil dependence, but that will take

many, many years and require a huge shift in our social behavior. There is a hypocritical streak embedded in many of the moral arguments against oil usage. (For example, how many people who attend anti-oil protests take dieselburning transit or gasfuelled cars to get there?)

The Alberta oil sands are an enormous financial investment for the companies involved up there. They are not going to walk away because a pipeline doesn’t get built to Kitimat.

Rather, the dirty oil will find a way out of the province – and that still means cutting through B.C. – either through the existing pipeline or, more likely, via tanker rail cars — and likely into the Burnaby refinery.

And that will mean more tankers cruising past Vancouver, the supposedly green capital of Canada.

Kitimat’s loss is not necessarily Vancouver’s gain.

Oil spills do happen.

Let’s just hope and pray one doesn’t occur if a tanker runs aground or collides with something in Burrard Inlet or out in the waters surrounding the Gulf Islands.

If it does, we’ll have a tough time continuing to brag about being the “best place on Earth.” Oil-soaked beaches along Stanley Park aren’t exactly the kind of image that goes with that claim.

A grateful SkyTrain passenger was reunited with a lost $200,000 US certified cheque on Thursday afternoon.

The businessman lost the cheque shortly after 1 p.m. on July 29 and used the emergency platform phone at the Sapperton SkyTrain station in New Westminster to ask for assistance from SkyTrain attendants.

Within 20 minutes, two attendants had located the missing cheque on a SkyTrain at Gilmore Station in Burnaby. The cheque was on the floor, underneath the seats where a mother and her young children were sitting.

Local artisan with a touch of glass

She had to overcome fear of fire to learn

BY JANAYA FULLER-EVANS REPORTER jfuller-evans@royalcityrecord.com

You never know what you can learn at night school.

Two years ago, Susan OttoBain decided to attend New Westminster’s continuing education glasswork course.

She had always had an interest in art and had various projects on the go, and she was ready for a new challenge.

“I always wanted to try it,” she says.

She had to face her fear of fire to learn the craft, she says, adding she doesn’t even like using gas stoves of barbecues.

“The biggest challenge was overcoming my fear of the flame,” she says. “Turning on the torch and facing it.”

But Otto-Bain says she has never burned herself while working with the glass.

Otto-Bain crafts glass lampwork beads, using a technique where she melts glass rods around a rounded metal stick.

Another challenge is making sure the glass doesn’t drop, which requires turning the metal rod constantly while working with it, she adds.

She works in her studio from about five to 20 hours a week, depending on her schedule.

She sells beads, fish and turtle designs, fused glass pendants and earrings.

Photos contributed/THE RECORD

Heart of glass: Susan Otto-Bain will be selling her lampwork glass beads at the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival on Aug. 14. Top right, a sample of Otto-Bain’s work.

“I make all kinds of wild, colourful beads,” Otto-Bain says. “”They’re very funky and colourful.”

Otto-Bain will be bringing her work to the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival in August.

It is her second time at the

festival – she was one of the first eight artisans to take part in last year’s market.

“They picked artists that really went with the festival,” she says of the inaugural market.

“It was fabulous,” she says. “It is such a great environment.”

Otto-Bain has also sold her work at the Herbert Spencer Elementary School and St. Thomas More Collegiate craft fairs.

Other local artisans featured at the festival include Shannon Powell of Air-a-Tatt, who will be

selling airbrush tattoos, and the New West company, Sunseeker Toe Thongs.

Burnaby’s Tom Wray, who builds custom-made guitars, and Rita Khimani, who will be selling exotic henna tattoos on site, are also among those selling their goods at the festival.

Wray was at last year’s festival as well.

There should be about 11 artisans this year, according to JulieAnne Slade, the special events officer for the city who is in charge of organizing the market.

Displays range from airbrushed and henna tattoos to neon artwork, from guitars to toe jewelry.

This year’s Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival includes performances by Taj Mahal, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Serena Ryder, Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real, Colin Linden, Little Miss Higgins and Yukon Blonde, and will be held on Saturday, August 14 at 12:30 p.m.

The winner of Shore FM’s Sounds of Summer Contest, Zaac Pick, will also play.

The 11th annual Blues and Roots Festival will be held at the newly renovated Deer Lake Park.

Cultural crawl set to kick off in city

Culture vultures looking to escape the dog days of summer will be descending on the Royal City on the weekend.

Van Dop Gallery employee Samantha Allen. “The idea is to shine a light on what’s going on in arts and culture in the city and our goal is to put it on a par with the Eastside Cultural Crawl.”

One of this year ’s hotspots is sure to be the Hwang and Company law firm (711 Columbia St.), which is displaying a unique tribute to the late Eva Markvoort, a New West resident who gained fame through a documentary, 65 Red Roses, about her lifelong struggle with cystic fibrosis.

The project, spearheaded by local artist Angela Au Hemphill, features 65 artists contributing

a single painting of a red rose, with all the works being combined into one composite painting.

Commemorative prints will also be available for $65, with all proceeds going directly to the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

“The 65 Red Roses painting is one of the highlights in this year’s New Westminster Cultural Crawl,” said Au Hemphill. “It is a perfect example of how artists contribute and make a difference in our community.”

How much water?

ANNE MARRISON

Question Could you provide any advice as to the quantity and frequency of watering newlyplanted cedars and a maple tree in our backyard?

Josephine, Burnaby Answer In this weather, water them lots. Cedars are moisture lovers. Summer isn’t a good time to plant cedars, and a heat wave can cause them immense problems. If your cedars are a newly-planted hedge, watering them by handheld hose could take an enormous amount of time and water.

It would be better to acquire soaker hoses. They could run along each side of the hedge, or around individual cedars if yours are island plantings in your garden.

With soaker hoses, you can run water at a very low level for a long time.

Gradually, the moisture will soak down to the roots. Be sure to check that pressure in the soaker hoses is strong enough to

Question Something eats the flowers, buds and leaves in my garden. I have lots of slug visitors, but I control them with slug bait. Whatever eats my plants can climb up tall flowers, climbing roses and even eats the nasturtium leaves on my balcony. I have lots of little ants and grey

critters which roll into a ball when they feel threatened. Do any of these eat plants?

Heidi, via e-mail Answer Ants, sow-bugs and pillbugs don’t eat the top part of plants. You may have several different pests eating different parts of your flowers.

Perhaps your slugs aren’t controlled as much as you think. Snails do similar damage and climb very high at times.

Urban areas now include raccoons, skunks, rats, squirrels and coyotes.

Squirrels, rabbits and chipmunks all nibble on plants if they need moisture.

Deer sometimes invade suburban gardens and mature ones can reach at least two metres (six feet) high. They love munching on roses.

About your nasturtiums: If the damage is only edge notches, the culprits could be vine weevils or leaf-cutting wasps.

Slugs or snails eat holes in the middle of the leaf as well. If you go out at night with a flashlight, you could check what beasties are among your plants.

Don’t look casually – scan the soil surface, lift leaves and check underneath. An outside light could show you from your window if some animal is around.

get water to the far end.

It’s also important that water doesn’t evaporate out of the soaker hose into the hot air. That’s why soaker hoses should be lightly mulched. Compost, bark mulch or grass clippings would all be suitable.

If you prefer hand-held hose watering, I’d suggest holding the stream for at least 30 seconds morning and evening by each tree. Mulching the cedars would help to hold moisture in. When rainy weather returns, you should still water your cedars once a day on any day that rain doesn’t fall or is very light.

You should be able to quit this routine by early November – but keep an eye on the soil around your trees all winter.

Drought can happen at any time of year.

Maples aren’t as waterdemanding as cedars, but because yours is newlyplanted, it would be best to treat it exactly the same.

WLA Salmonbellies lock up top spot ◗P20 Junior Bs win provincial bronze ◗P21

SECTION COORDINATOR Tom Berridge, 604-444-3022 • tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Juniors make it a best-of-five series

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

It was the New Westminster Salmonbellies time to turn the tables on the Coquitlam Adanacs in Game 2 of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League playoff finals.

In a similar fashion to the A’s overtime win in Game 1, New Westminster broke open a tightly played playoff final game with five goals in the final period to defeat Coquitlam 9-5 at Queen’s Park Arena last Friday.

The win evened the best-ofseven championship final at one game apiece.

Game 3 is scheduled for tonight (Wednesday) at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. Game time is 8 p.m.

The junior A Salmonbellies clawed their way back into the match after falling behind 2-0 after the opening period.

Mark Negrin and Jay Card got New Westminster right back into it, scoring less than a minute apart to start the middle frame.

Keegan Bal and Colton Clark, with his seventh goal of the playoffs, knotted the game at 4-4 to head into the final frame.

But like Game 1, the home team struck quickly and completely.

Brandon Goodwin, Cody Bremner and Bal all tallied in a three-minute span early in the period to give New Westminster the momentum it needed.

Frank Scigliano made 31 stops in the Salmonbellie net to record the win.

Bal and Goodwin both scored their second goal of the game and eighth of the playoffs to give the junior ’Bellies a five-goal lead late into the stanza.

Coquitlam’s Robert Church tallied his hat trick in the final minute of play with the goalie out for a sixth attacker.

“We didn’t want to go down two games,” said Salmonbellies captain Jarrett Toll after the game.

“We know they are a great team, but just knowing we can beat them is a big boost for the boys.”

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Jason Lang/THE RECORD

Leading by example: New Westminster Salmonbellies captain Jarrett Toll, in white, makes the going tough for a Coquitlam shooter in Game 2 of the best-of-seven B.C. junior A lacrosse final at Queen’s Park Arena last Friday.

So too, is knowing that it will take a 100 per cent effort from everyone, added Card, a late season pickup from the Ontario league.

“Coquitlam is very well coached and for us to be successful, we have to give everything we’ve got. That was our mistake last game – letting up,” said Card, who led the junior ’Bellies with two goals and three helpers.

Clark also contributed a five-

point effort to the mix.

“Coach (Dan) Perreault just told us to stay positive, and it started with our defence. They had a great game.

“Hard work is contagious and that’s what happened tonight.

Our coach told us that is what it’s going to take.”

After the slow first-period start, New Westminster replied with 26 shots in the middle period and eventually outshot the visitors 49-

36 overall, holding the Adanacs to just 20 shots in the latter two periods.

That’s the kind of effort it’s going to take for the rest of the series, Card added “It’s going to take hard work to beat them. We’re just going to have to bring our A game every game,” he said.

Game 4 of the series will be played back at Queen’s Park Arena on Friday. Game time is 8 p.m.

Hosts finish Little League provincials with win

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster went out with a bang at the provincial major Little League championships at Justin Morneau Field.

The host association defeated West Vancouver 9-5 in the final round-robin game of the provincials Friday.

Starting pitcher Markus Zacharuk got the win for the home team, striking out five and allowing four runs in five and one-third innings. Zacharuk also had a pair of hits, includ-

Lax teen ’Bellies medal at B.C.s

ing a run-scoring single in the fifth inning.

Jonathan Tomalty got the save, giving up two hits and striking out two.

New Westminster won the game on the strength of a seven-run second inning, capped by Brandon Lee’s first-ever Little League home run.

Lee slammed the tworun dinger over the centre field fence for his second hit of the game.

Jake Bell started the rally with a line drive to right field that scored Joelson Del Rosario.

Zacharuk and Tomalty

hit RBI doubles in the second inning.

Del Rosario also had a two-base hit in the game.

Reece Davies and Daniel Li also recorded hits for the New Westminster team.

Riko Mochizuki stole home in the third inning.

The win left the hosts with an overall 2-4 record, just one win short of a semifinal berth.

“I was hoping it would mean something, but it’s a good win to get this far,” said New Westminster team manager Ed Zacharuk. “I think they learned they can play with

these guys.”

New Westminster held a two-run lead against eventual finalist Hastings earlier in the tournament before the East Vancouver association found its stride in an 11-3 win.

The Royal City side then rebounded with a 95 victory over Vancouver Island champion Layritz July 27.

Layritz wrapped up a spot in the semifinals with a 10-8 win over Whalley on Friday.

“We showed some heart and showed dedication, and we came to play even

though Whalley didn’t help us out,” Zacharuk added.

Round-robin winner Little Mountain went on to win the provincial title, blanking Hastings 8-0 in the championship final on Sunday.

Zacharuk, who is vicepresident of the association, praised the city and sponsors for a successfully run tournament.

“New Westminster is definitely on the baseball map,” Zacharuk said.

We scared … a couple of teams. Our kids never let up, it was awesome.”

New Westminster ’s intermediate A and B teams both won medals at the provicial lacrosse championships in Richmond this past weekend.

The B team had to settle for a silver medal after two tough matches against eventual champion Juan de Fuca.

The Vancouver Island club, 7-2 winners in roundrobin play, beat New Westminster 6-4 in the B gold medal final Monday.

“The boys deserve a ton of credit,” said New Westminster intermediate B head coach Chuck MacDonald.

Russell Birosh was named top goalie and selected to the provincial all-star team along with teammate Carson Metcalfe.

Justice Pash, Ian Ham, Jordan Smith and Hudson Ducommun scored one game apiece, while defenders Brandon Sidhu and James McKenzie also played well against the physical Juan de Fuca side.

New Westminster, the North conference league champs, defeated the South conference winners, Delta, 6-5 in its opening match.

“The boys showed fantastic composure. The kind of composure you’d expect from a team that was competing at a higher level,” MacDonald said. “As far as I’m concerned, they were the better team on the floor as far as skill and dignity.”

The intermediate A team won a bronze medal, defeating regular-season runnerup Coquitlam Adanacs 8-7 in the provincial consolation final.

The win was the second of the tournament against Coquitlam, giving New Westminster a 3-2 series advantage in head-to-head meetings this season.

“I’m more than happy. It clearly proved the first time was not a fluke,” said intermediate A head coach Don MacDonald. “In the friendly, adversorial competition between the two associations, it was sweet to go in and beat the second-place team convincingly.”

Salmonbellies lock up first place with win

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Salmonbellies locked up a second Western Lacrosse Association regular season title in three seasons with an emphatic 13-5 win over the Burnaby Lakers July 29.

Salmonbellie rookie righthander Corbyn Tao sparked a five-goal scoring spree midway through the second period that opened up an otherwise close game.

Alex Gajic, with back-to-back markers 23 seconds apart, Ilija Gajic and Sean Robinson also scored to give the home team a 94 edge going into the final frame.

Tyler Richards backstopped the win with 32 saves to garner the game’s third star and Salmonbellie player of the game.

“We took it to (New Westminster) two weeks ago, and you could see they were hungry tonight,” said Burnaby head coach Bob Johnston. “They forced us into some errors and you can’t play defence that many minutes.”

“We’re just getting started.

We’re not full strike yet. We got a couple of strides to go,” said Tao after the game. “ New Westminster opened the third period with more of the same.

Jamie Floris drew Laker keep-

er Drew Dickie out position to give the ’Bellies a 10-4 lead.

Pete McFetridge, with a pair of opportunistic goals, and Robinson, with his second of the night, had New Westminster well on its way before Burnaby countered with a late goal from transitition runner Patrick Corrigan.

“We’re definitely hitting our peak. What we want going into the playoffs is to be confident and playing ’Bellies ball,” Tao added.

The following night, the senior A Lakers could have played spoiler in a must-win game for the Coquitlam Adanacs, but were outclassed 17-7 by the playoffbound A’s instead.

The Adanacs left nothing to

chance, scoring six goals on 29 first-period shots against the Lakers. The A’s then outscored the visitors 5-2 and 6-1 in the two latter periods.

This year’s WLA regular season was one of the most competitive in years.

Burnaby finished tied with Langley for last place in the WLA with similar 6-12-0 records.

Nanaimo, which upset the runner-up Victoria Shamrocks 10-6 in its final regular season game, finished out of the playoffs despite tying Maple Ridge and Coquitlam with a 9-9-0 record.

◗ JUNIOR B LACROSSE

UFC 117

’Bellies win bronze at B.C.s

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Salmonbellies left no doubt which was the better Lower Mainland team at the junior B lacrosse provincial championships in Langley.

New Westminster won the bronze medal, following a 12-3 victory over Port Moody in the consolation final Sunday.

The junior B ’Bellies finished the round robin with a 2-1 record, tied with eventual finalists Kamloops and Westshore, but lost

Setting the record straight There was an error in the Record’s coverage of last week’s B.C. Summer Games held in Langley.

The Zone 4 girls’ softball team was short-changed.

The team was in fact the gold-medal winner, beating Fraser Valley 8-2 in the championship final.

Burnaby Oakeys ’96 players Madison Newman of Burnaby and New Westminster’s Meghan Malkowich shared a gold with the Fraser River Delta squad.

the ensuing goals-for-andagainst tiebreaker.

New Westminster’s only loss of the competition was a 12-5 defeat by Kamloops on the morning of the second day after a tough 10-8 opening day win over Port Moody.

“It was the best junior B game I’ve ever seen. I had the best fun watching. (Port Moody) wanted to get even,” said Vince Taylor, who shared junior B coach of the year honours with his staff Darrin London, Craig Anderson and Kevin Manson.

But New Westminster paid a price for their efforts, losing a chance for a third gold medal for the regular season and playoff champs.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 7TH

“We were far and away the best team,” Taylor said.

Still, Taylor was happy with a third medal, particularly since New Westminster had resurrected the junior B program after it had folded two seasons ago.

In New Westminster’s final game at the provincials, it was all about motivation after losing a spot in the gold-medal final.

“We just went at ’em.

It was rough and tumble, and we beat the tar right out of (Port Moody),” said Taylor.

Junior B playoff MVP Andrew Polkinghorne of New Westminster was named to the provincial all-star team following the competition.

Your BC Lions — In Their Own Words I’m a B.C. boy – born and raised in Richmond. I began playing football while attending high school at Vancouver College and continued to develop my skills during my university career at Simon Fraser. I have been a fan of the Black and Orange all my life and distinctly remember attending Lions games at BC Place in the 1980s. My brother Mark was briefly a Lion in 1990 – so football genes definitely run in my family!

After 10 seasons with the Lions, I still can’t believe that I get to come to work every day and play the game I love, and I’m more determined than ever to bring the Grey Cup home to B.C. at least one more time during my career.

As one of the longest-serving veterans on the team and the guy anchoring the offensive line in the centre position, I take a leadership role in the locker room and am sometimes looked to for advice by the younger players. Our team — and the O-line in particular — is like a family to me and I’m proud of my contributions in the locker room and on the field.

As the second-youngest of six kids in my family, I looked up to my older siblings when I was growing up for inspiration and guidance. For that reason, I love taking part in the Lions’ community programs throughout the year, particularly the club’s Lions in the House initiative. It makes me feel proud to know that I could have a positive influence on a young person who is at a very important time in their life.

As much as I love playing professional football, I believe it’s also important to give back to the community you grew up in and set a good example for the next generation.
