Are more midwives needed?

Contract costs big bucks Chief says $100K paid to implement new system was good value

Local practitioners are forced to turn away more than twice as many patients as they accept

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR REPORTER cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Expectant New Westminster and Burnaby moms aren’t getting the medical care they want, and local midwives want the government to change that.

“We turn away two to three times as many patients as we accept,” New West midwife Tracy Simpson told The Record. “It disappoints me because those women aren’t getting the care that they’re asking for. … It’s a particular kind of care that people are wanting, and they don’t get to choose.”

The problem, Simpson said, is a shortage of midwives.

There are no midwifery practices in Burnaby and only two apiece in New West and Coquitlam, she said.

With two midwives at each clinic, that makes a total of eight to serve all three cities.

A few Vancouver midwives have privileges at Burnaby and Royal Columbian hospitals, but even with those, there are not nearly enough to meet local demand, Simpson said.

Alison Anderson started looking for a midwife just days after finding out she was pregnant with her first child last year.

The Port Coquitlam mom didn’t find a spot in Simpson’s New West Community Midwives clinic until about six months later, after she’d called every midwife from Mission to New West. ◗Midwives Page 5

A lucrative gig in New Westminster is nearing the end for a retired Surrey firefighter.

The city’s recently released financial reports indicate the city paid Ron Price $106,483 in remuneration in 2013. Price was an assistant fire chief for Surrey Fire and Rescue, where his jobs included initiating an attendance management program.

New Westminster Fire Chief Tim Armstrong said the local department brought Price in last year on a threemonth contract to implement a new TeleStaff system.

“It’s a scheduling system.

What it does is it allows the firefighters to check their schedules if they change shifts, or if there is overtime opportunities it phones them up in order of eligibility,” he said. “It manages, it has reduced the potential for grievances and other things tremendously.”

Price is the “resident expert” in the Lower Mainland in dealing with the employee scheduling software, Armstrong said.

“Nobody here really knows much about it and the software company that developed the software wanted a small fortune to come in and set it up because they are ◗Fire Page 5

Summer is the perfect time to get kids moving and help get them away from their gadgets.

Sandy Earle, the city’s active community programmer, said it’s important to get the kids off the couch in the summertime.

“I think it’s crucial, it’s absolutely crucial, especially with the epidemic of obesity and overweight in children today,” she said. “Kids spend way too much time in front of a screen. Just getting them out and doing stuff is really, really important.”

The Participaction program has established some guidelines for children aged five to 11 aimed at minimizing sedentary behaviours such as sitting for long periods, watching television, playing on the computer or video games, or using motorized transportation such as a bus or car. It recommends children be limited to no more than two hours per day of recreational screen time.

“They should be active at least an hour a day. That’s 60 minutes that kids should be striving for,” Earle said. “Parents play a huge role in that. They need to be role models. If parents are demonstrating that they are active, it perme-

A 2012 report by Statistics Canada suggested that nearly one-third of five- to 17-year-olds were overweight or obese.

“Since the late 1970s, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has risen among children and adolescents in Canada,” states the report. “Excess weight in childhood has been linked to insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes, hyper-

tension, poor emotional health and diminished social well-being.

As well, obese children tend to become obese adults, making childhood obesity a public health concern.”

Tracking activity can be a valuable and fun activity for the family, Earle said.

“I know with my own kids, years ago we used to keep track on a great big chart what we did

for the summer. It was fun. We always illustrated it on a great big chart. We started at the end of the school year, and we would add every activity we did in the summer to that chart. They would draw the activities on there. It was a real list by the end of the summer. You could see all the things we had done.”

Midwives: Association wants better access to midwifery ◗ continued from page 1

“It was very stressful in the beginning not being able to find a midwife and knowing that a lot of my options were no longer available,” she said.

She hopes things will be easier the next time around, but unless the government invests more money in midwives, things are unlikely to change, according to Simpson.

B.C.’s 220 midwives, who have been in the process of negotiating a new contract since March, want the provincial government to

invest $3 million a year over the next five years to expand access to midwifery services.

To protest a lack of progress at the bargaining table, they announced last week they would stop training midwifery students immediately and could withdraw other services within 90 days.

The midwives’ demands include a 15 per cent fee increase over five years, but 85 per cent of the spending they propose would go toward programs that would make it easier for pregnant women to find midwives near

them, according to Midwives of Association of B.C. executive director Ganga Jolicoeur.

Midwives, who supervised 16 per cent of births in B.C. in 2012/13, would like to see that number increase to 35 per cent by 2020 – something the provincial association says would save the province $60 million by reducing hospital stays and invasive medical procedures.

Even at 35 per cent, B.C. would lag well behind midwife-assisted births in the United Kingdom, at 80 per cent, or New Zealand, at

70 per cent.

One thing that could dramatically increase local access to midwifery services, according to Simpson, would be to expedite the certification of foreign-trained midwives.

The province funded a pilot program at the University of British Columbia to that end several years ago, but money for that initiative dried up.

“There are so many internationally trained midwives here, or who want to come here, who have tons of experience,

tons of education, but can’t get their licence here because that program’s no longer funded.”

Simpson said.

As it stands now, Simpson said she can’t expand her practice to meet local demand.

“I don’t have 10 midwives to go pick from,” she said. “I don’t even have one to go pick from, so when I want to expand the practice and take more clients and all these people I’m saying no to, I can’t.” with files from Erin Ellis, Vancouver Sun

of California,” he said. “We hired him to come in as a consultant to set it up.”

According toArmstrong, implementation of the software program wasn’t something the City of New Westminster’s information technology department was equipped to do.

“It’s all stuff that is tied to our fire department management software, and that’s all tied to E-Comm. It doesn’t really get involved in that,” he said. “From a hardware aspect they could probably support it, but not from actual software development and the

some advanced configuration work that we ended up having him do.”

After completing work on the scheduling software program, New Westminster Fire and Rescue Services extended Price’s contract to do some additional work.

Because Price has some expertise in information technology, Armstrong said the department extended his contract so he could do some additional work on its management software, which includes its training records management system.

“We are probably going to keep him until I get this

assistant deputy hired,” Armstrong said. “That will probably be the end of his tenure here.”

Brent Wisheart retired as a deputy fire chief in 2013, and his job has yet to be filled.

“I am hoping no later than September,” Armstrong said when asked when the position would be filled. “The process is underway.”

IN MY OPINION

Dear Editor:

Re: Plans on track for train silence, The Record, July 16.

I suppose we should be encouraged, after more than 11 years of waiting, that now city hall is finally trying to do something about “whistle cessation,” especially downtown. However, until all the “W” (whistle) signs are removed along the railway tracks we will continue to be “blasted” awake by train whistles/horns – like this morning at 6:31 a.m. – at least three very long blasts.

But there are other big noise problems downtown that city hall has total control over eliminating.

The engineering department leaf blowers, with virtually no real mufflers, at least weekly cleaning the steps beside the courthouse. Surely louder than 100 decibels!

Then the motorcycles racing up Sixth Street with outrageously loud, obviously illegal mufflers/ straight pipes. Surely louder than 100 decibels.

Then cars with obviously illegal muffler systems with large diameter exhaust outlets. Surely over 100 decibels! Even this evening, as usual, several times a week, for more than the past year, a car roaring out of the 600-block of Victoria Street.

A noise/sound level over 100 decibels is more than 200 times the sound level of the SkyTrain at 75 decibels, which is more than 100 times louder than the 55 decibels recommended by CMHC for residential areas.

Too much noise over 85 decibels is not only a serious distraction but detrimental to people’s health, especially children and seniors.

Of course, there is also fire trucks, buses, garbage trucks, ambulances etc. to live with downtown.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Karaoke too loud at festival Dear Editor:

Congrats to the West End Business Association and Chuck Puchmayr for a successful 12th Street Music Festival. I was only able to attend in the afternoon, but the lesismore, Wendy Biscuit and T. Riley performances were fantastic!

It is unfortunate that, once again, the overly loud karaoke drowned out the wonderful music of the live bands. Perhaps this could be moved outside the main performance stages so that we may enjoy the music of the great local talent.

A wonderful time had by all!

Kittens left in garbage bin Dear Editor:

Ten kittens from two separate litters were found taped shut in a cardboard box and left behind a GVRD garbage bin on a sweltering sunny July 3. They’d not have lasted another hour, for great lack of necessities of life, including fresh air.

This case is yet another clear cry out loud that society’s collective psyche needs to procure within itself an appreciation for all cats, most notably the homeless. Being in such seemingly large disposable-drove numbers, there is an accompanying large quantity of suffering, abused and even tortured cats by vicious, mean-spirited

people.

When cats are devalued because, most notably, they’re not readily obedient and are potential predators of cherished small singing birds, it makes it a lot easier to dispose of them in such a cruel manner.

My cynical side cannot help but to deride the inhumane side of collective humanity that may consciously and/or subconsciously feel, Oh, there’s a lot more from where they came. More so on the matter of worth, contrary to popular belief, cats can be very pleasant pets if they receive enough genuine affection. Such includes frequent talks to them (judging from my cat’s behaviour, they can appreciate an enthusiastic talking to) and especially physical contact. You pretty much get what you put into them, as with dogs.

As a priority rule and not as a half-assed effort, they should be collected and spayed or neutered; perhaps their eventual great reduction in number will then translate into proper appreciation or at least respect as sentient life.

Furthermore, it would greatly help if respective city halls should order that pet cats be confined indoors when not on a torso-brace leash and accompanied by their owners. Yes, pet cats likely will go through “outdoors withdrawal” and cry a raucous by the front door; however, keeping them healthy and safe should make their finite whining worthwhile.

War: Have we learned our lessons? ◗ continued from page 6

for their plantation stock.

The First World War was a fool’s game played with little regard for the lives of the real people who actually held the guns and stood in front of the bullets.

Battle tactics were inadequate to the rising technology, but worse than that, for the most part the generals and commanders didn’t care. Arrogance reigned supreme in the war rooms and the throne

rooms. It was not deemed honourable to run, duck, or dodge enemy fire – even if that fire was spewing from machine guns that were capable of creating a wall of flesheating lead – and so any soldier with the good sense to break stride might be summarily shot by his own officers.

In the end, it all backfired. Austria-Hungary virtually disappeared, the world changed…

and didn’t change at all.

Nobody won. Now take a long, hard look today, 100 years later, at the events unfolding in the Ukraine, so near where that shot was fired to rain down all the excuses that arrogant leaders could muster to show how important they were – and how stupid they could be.

Lest we forget. Indeed.

Summer: Have fun – and establish healthy habits for life ◗ continued from page 3

way to keep track of all their summertime fun, Earle said it also helped make the kids aware of all the activities they were doing.

Jo-An Cornelius, a mom of three, has no trouble finding ways of keeping her kids on the go in New West in the summer.

“We usually go to the park, have a picnic. We will have dinner here – we will bring the barbecue because we can’t have it at our apartment,” she said. “We like going to Moody Park, just because it’s convenient.”

Cornelius took her kids to Grimston Park a lot when they were younger, as they enjoyed the wading pool.

“Now that the kids are older they like to go to Queen’s Park or Moody Park. The youth centre is here for my older one, so there’s always something to do,” she said.

“Pier Park is a great park, too – we love it, just the atmosphere. It’s great for me to enjoy the scenery, the kids have lots to do – it feels like I can let the older kids go off and do their own thing and they’ll have fun.”

The Cornelius clan is also fond of the city’s Canada Day fireworks and the various festivals taking place throughout the city.

Perennial favourites for families include the Queen’s Park petting farm, the wading pool at Grimston Park, and the Moody Park and Hume Park outdoor pools. Families can enjoy a walk along the trails in Glenbrook Ravine Park or Hume Park or check out the river while enjoying a walk at Sapperton Landing, Westminster Pier Park, the waterfront esplanade or the Queensborough riverfront.

“There are a lot of those little pock-

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Splish splash: Paul DeVera splashes around in the water at Moody Park. The city’s parks offer plenty of fun for families throughout the summer. et parks around New West that people don’t even realize are around,” Earle said.

“Exploring your neighbourhood sometimes with kids is sometimes really valuable – and it’s fun, too.”

Exploring neighbourhoods was one of the reasons local walking advocate Mary Wilson spearheaded Jane’s Walks in New Westminster in 2013. While adults will go for a walk for the sheer pleasure of the

experience, she believes there has to be a “payoff” for kids to go for a walk.

“Kids need a reason to go, they need a reward,” she said. “They don’t want to walk and look at the scenery or look at the landscaping. They are active and they want a destination.”

Earle, who leads walking groups, agrees it’s best to have a destination for kids, whether it’s the library, the farmers’ market or the park.

Marjorie Staal, executive director of New Westminster Family Place, said activities of all sorts appeal to children.

She said kids love visiting Friendship Gardens to watch the ducks swimming in the pond, walking to the park and enjoying a picnic, and exploring pocket parks such as the Toronto Place Park (at the corner of Eighth Street and Royal Avenue), which is home to the child-size public art feature, Puddle Jumper.

“It’s nice for them to see quieter places,” Staal said. “If a parent thinks like a child, there are lots of places in New West they can take them to. Those small things are interesting for children.”

While there’s an abundance of outdoor fun to be had in New Westminster, kids can also keep moving indoors with a swim at Canada Games Pool or a skate at Moody Park Arena. There’s always some kid-friendly activity on the go at River Market and Fraser River Discovery Centre.

“The centre is set up to be a giant program every day,” says Catherine OuelletMartin, the centre’s executive director.

“All our exhibits have a lot of hands-on activities that the kids can come and do any day of the summer.”

Earle has personally seen the benefits of establishing healthy activity habits in

Residents divided on truck ban TransLink nixed city’s request to ban trucks on three city routes

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Should truck traffic be banned on some of New West’s major streets?

TransLink says no – and residents are divided on the issue.

In March, the city asked TransLink to remove Royal Avenue, East Eighth Avenue and portions of East Columbia Street and Ewen Avenue from the city’s truck route network.

TransLink has nixed the request to take trucks off Royal, East Eighth and East Columbia and has deferred a decision about Ewen Avenue.

“As I read this article, I can smell/hear and feel the rumble of huge trucks driving by,” wrote a local resident on The Record’s Facebook page. “Royal Avenue has always had traffic, especially during rush hour, but the last couple of years it has become insane. It’s not even enjoyable having the windows

Queensborough Church brings Middle Eastern families together

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Middle Eastern families have found peace and a sense of belonging in New Westminster.

St. Joseph Orthodox Church is a small congregation currently operating out of a twostorey converted house in Queensborough.

“We are a small, growing parish with less than 50 families. Our growing church community is comprised of members from Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine,” Susan Kafeety, a member of the congregation, said in an email to The Record. “We have many new immigrants attending, as well as many of the church members who have been a part of our community since the ’70s. We provide a place to come together and pray as one family. We

The church held a recent Middle Eastern Food Festival that focused on Middle Eastern food and cultural heritage and the Greek Orthodox faith reflecting the parish’s roots.

Grilled chicken and ground beef kabobs, crispy falafels, baklava pastry and semolina bars drizzled in orange blossom syrup were

among the tasty items being served at the July 20 events.

“We love food. We love food so much,” Kafeety laughed. “We love to share our food with others.”

The Middle Eastern Food Festival also featured face painting and crafts for kids, raffles, and instruction on how to play the hand drum, as well as tours of the church. St. Joseph Orthodox Church is working on plans to build a church on the site of its current converted home.

“We are growing,” Kafeety said. “We are trying to build a church. We are raising money to build a church. We have been here for years.”

Along with services, St. Joseph Orthodox Church is a place where members of the congregation can chat informally, share common experiences and welcome newcomers.

“We are very welcoming,” Kafeety said.

“We are very hospitable. We are a peaceloving people. We just want peace in the world.”

Tales from the cemetery OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

A

couple of weeks ago, we presented an illustrated talk on symbolism in cemeteries including landscapes, foliage and structures.

In New Westminster, a portion of the burial ground that is now Fraser Cemetery was to have a funeral chapel, but it wasn’t built. It would have made a great difference to the site if it had been.

In 1872, the local Masonic group was completing a cemetery that was to operate under their jurisdiction. A few years before that, the Church of England had begun to develop a burial ground of their own adjacent to the Masons’ location on the same hillside. Today, this land is part of Fraser Cemetery below Richmond Street, along what is now Miner Street, formerly called Cemetery Road.

For those who know Fraser Cemetery in

Sapperton, the Masonic area is where the very large monkey puzzle tree can be found. In time, the separate cemetery areas would all come together as one burial ground, but in 1872 there were only the two sites, and the Masons were planning to add a significant feature, a mortuary chapel.

In the middle of the afternoon on July 30, 1872, a sizable body of men, women and children, including a large number of Masons and visiting and supporting Masonic dignitaries, gathered at the Lodge in downtown New Westminster to start the formal proceedings. They then formed up in their proscribed parade order on Columbia Street and, led by the Victoria Brass Band, marched to the cemetery and the planned location of the chapel.

This large group witnessed an impressive ceremony at the new cemetery in which the chapel’s cornerstone containing a sealed copper cylinder was formally laid. The event concluded with appropriate proclamations, prayers and anthems. The group then reformed as a procession, walked back into

town to the Lodge, and this ceremonial was closed.

While the ceremonial part of the plans for the mortuary chapel were at an end, there were further festivities to complete the day. A dinner and ball in honour of the event was held at the Colonial Hotel, and it was noted that it drew attendance not just from the Royal City but from other surrounding communities.

Unfortunately, the ensuing years did not see the construction of the mortuary chapel. It was meant to add another venue as part of a Masonic funeral that would have included the Lodge room, a church, the mortuary chapel, and the graveyard itself. If it had been built it would have added a dramatic feature to the cemetery and if it remained today, the landscape and visual layout of Fraser Cemetery would have been decidedly different.

On cemetery tours we often point out the site of the proposed mortuary chapel in the old Masonic section of Fraser Cemetery.

A great example of what might have been – an intriguing cemetery “what if?”

◗ IN THE LIBRARY

There’s an app for everything

BY ALINA GHERMAN CONTRIBUTOR editorial@royalcityrecord.com

R

ecently the New Westminster Public Library announced the launch of its new mobile app, which gives users quick and easy access to both their library accounts and the main features of the library catalogue.

Those who like to use mobile applications will be pleased to learn that there are several other apps that make it easier to access library resources at no cost, simply by using your library card.

To read eBooks or listen to eAudiobooks on your tablet or smart phone, download the OverDrive Media Console app. It allows readers to download, read and sync across

multiple devices the items borrowed from the Library2go collection.

The Freading app can be used to access library eBooks provided by Freading, and the OneClick Digital app is intended for eAudiobooks users. Anyone who needs help downloading eBooks or eAudiobooks from the library is welcome to register for a one-on-one eBook clinic held Wednesday evenings at the Main Library.

Zinio is one of the Library’s most popular electronic resources, and it has an app, too. Just set up an account using your library card and check out your favourite eMagazines, whether they are back issues or the latest releases. You can download them onto your mobile device and read them offline using

the Zinio app. The downloaded titles will remain in your own Zinio library and can be accessed anytime.

Reading daily newspapers on mobile devices has never been easier. Now, with the use of the PressReader app, library users can download up to five free newspapers per day on the library’s WiFi and read them offline as they please.

If you’ve always wanted to learn a new language, let the Rocket Languages app be your personal tutor. Access and download learning modules, track your progress and more on the go. You can even learn sign language.

For an overview of the apps available at the library, including compatibility details, go to nwpl.ca/your_ library/nwpl_mobile.php.

for this event kept growing until the event day with local sponsors jumping on board to help. The funds will go to research projects specifically to find a treatment for FSHD.” The event raised money through ticket sales, donations, an on-site raffle and 50/50 draw, as well as an online contest. The evening was dedicated to Ann Hardon, a Coquitlam resi-

dent who also had FSHD and passed away from other health complications in June.

“I am thrilled the event was so successful, especially because we dedicated the night to our friend Ann,” said event organizer Asifa Lalji, who also has FSH muscular dystrophy. “This event did more than raise money and awareness for FSHD. It reminded us that anyone

with challenges needs two things to help them get through it – support and a sense of humour. Both were overflowing that night.”

Record-setter this year’s top athlete It’s all about friends and memories, says The Record athlete of the Year

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

If there is a template for the perfect qualities for The Record high school athlete of the year, you needn’t look any farther than Amanda Zacharuk.

The New Westminster Secondary School grad has been the consummate scholar/athlete, beginning as a Grade 8 freshman.

Last year, the all-round athlete became the first-ever student in the history of NWSS to amass more than 250 points in the school’s graded point system that determines its annual top athletes on a total per-sport basis.

Only one other New West student, Catrina Guglielmucci in “I like to have 2009, has ever a full and busy amassed more 200 career life. I just want- than points. ed to be involved “In high school, I decided in everything to pursue the because I have a athletic route. I just wanted to fear of missing be part of a team and to work for out.” other people,” AMANDA ZACHARUK said Zacharuk, 2014 athlete of the year who surpassed all past NWSS grads as the alltime career points leader.

A career athlete in cross-country, volleyball, track and field and five consecutive years on the senior varsity basketball team, Zacharuk was awarded a special necklace from the school to represent her unique record total.

“I like to have a full and busy life,” she added. “I just wanted to be involved in everything because I have a fear of missing out. It’s all about friends and memories.”

In her high school career, Zacharuk went to a provincial championship tournament four times in track and field and three each in cross-country and basketball.

The highlight for the former Miss New Westminster was a gold medal in her final high school sporting event – the girls’ 4x400 metre relay.

“We PB’d in the heats and in the 100m, and that kind of fuelled our 4x4 to do really well,” she said. “Just before the race,

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Athlete of the year: Amanda Zacharuk set a new career points record in a variety of varsity sports with the New Westminster Hyacks. we were focusing on how far we had come as a team. When it came down to race time we felt we could rely on each other to run our best. We felt we could make the podium, and when I watched Raquel

(Tjernagel) run that last leg, that was just amazing.”

New Westminster went on to win the program’s first-ever women’s and overall aggregate provincial banner at the B.C.

track and field meet.

“To achieve that with a team was special,” Zacharuk said. “To win two banners and win gold in the 4x4 was just the perfect way to round my high school career. It was amazing, just incredible.

“I felt like we won it for them, for our school, our community and past grads. It was an honour and a pleasure.”

Zacharuk’s record point achievement was accomplished despite missing most of her junior year through a knee injury. But that did not slow down the active teen.

“I didn’t want the injury to consume me. So I decided to strive through,” she said.

Zacharuk got involved in the Miss New Westminster pageant, volunteer coached high school sports For a teams, helped out with video, the Little League provinscan cials and the B.C. Senior with Games, and at the Red Layar Cross equipment loans department, where she got her leg brace.

“I guess it shows my passion for sport, I’m always smiling. ... Definitely hardships say a lot about who we are and how we cope. Why focus on the bad when there are so many positives to focus on? They are what I like to remember the most.

“I think it is a part of who I am. ... It helped me push past things and helped me get better,” she said. “I’ve just learned to focus on the right things. It just seemed the better way to go.”

Indeed, Zacharuk seems to have accepted each challenge set in front of her with similar aplomb.

From stepping on to the hardcourt as an intimidated first-year bantam to improving her game on regional and provincial teams, Zacharuk learned how to cope with stresses and, more importantly, how to overcome them.

“I learned that ever contribution counted,” she said. “I try to see myself as an equal and not just a leader. … I’m nice, but there are times when it’s ‘Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go.’”

Zacharuk will be moving on to Burnaby Mountain to begin her post-secondary career at Simon Fraser University, where she hopes to pursue a career in sport physiology.

What she will discover about herself there is still an unwritten page in Zacharuk’s next chapter in life. But she already has volumes of memories to look back on.

“I really enjoyed my time (at NWSS), and I’ll look back on my career here and smile,” she said.

◗ JR. A LACROSSE

Salmonbellies need a Minto run

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

There’s an ironic twist to how the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League playoff final is shaping up.

The New Westminster Salmonbellies, last year’s upset winner over league champion Coquitlam Adanacs in the junior A final, find themselves in a similar position following a 7-4 loss to the A’s at Queen’s Park Arena on Wednesday.

The loss left the 20-1-1 league champs trailing Coquitlam 3-2 in the best-of-seven final series, with a potential Game 6 elimination game scheduled for the Poirier Sports Centre today (Friday).

“It was a tight game,” said New West head coach Dan Perreault. “It was a playoff game (tied) 4-4, and when you need a goal you have to generate something. But the ball didn’t go in for us.”

New West started well taking a 2-0 lead early in the first period on a long-range pair from Josh Byrne.

Later in the period, Anthony Malcom got inside to make it 3-1, but it was tough sledding for the Salmonbellie attack the rest of the way.

Coquitlam keeper Pete Dubenski was solid throughout, stopping 36 shots in the game while allowing just one goal in the last 44:41 minutes of the game.

Rocky Bowman got the start for New West and faced 39 shots on goal.

Game 4 winner Eric Penney was serving a one-game suspension for a high

The turnaround came midway through the middle period, when Tyler Pace sparked a three-goal minirally in a six-minute span to put the home team up 4-3 heading into the third period.

Luke Gillespie evened things up with a solo break down the floor at the two-minute mark, but Coquitlam came back again with goals a minute apart by team stars Wesley Berg and Eli McLaughlin.

Evan Wortley iced the game late in the contest for the A’s.

Both teams were playing with one-

game suspensions to key players. A’s goalie Riley Camazzolo and coach Neil Doddridge will be out for a further one and two games, respectively.

“We have confidence in our guys that they can score. They will be better in the next (game),” said Perreault.

“They know what’s on the line and what’s at stake. I expect we’ll come out flying on Friday.”

Game 6 of the best-of-seven final is in Coquitlam on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

If necessary, a Game 7 will be back at Queen’s Park Arena on Sunday. Face off is scheduled for 8 p.m.

B.C. Thunder back in NRL ringette The B.C. Thunder is returning to the National Ringette League after a one-season hiatus.

The 2012 Canadian champs took a one-year leave of absence from the senior women’s league to restructure the franchise.

Former Thunder coach Dale Hannesson is now the new owner. The team also announced the Thunder’s new coaches, Gino Pastro of Delta and Cathy Lipsett from Salmon Arm. “This past season, B.C. Thunder took the time to rebuild the strength of their franchise, and we are very pleased to have them back on the ice,” said Ringette Canada’s director of high performance and events, Frances Losier, in a July 30 press release.

Lipsett, who will head coach Team B.C. at the 2015 Canada Winter Games, was a key member behind the bench with the Thunder in 2012, while Pastro spent last season coaching the Lower Mainland under-19 AA team and the top open A team in B.C. “We are all extremely excited to have an ownership group, coaches and players committed to getting the B.C. Thunder back on the ice for the 2014/15 season,” said Hannesson, who helped coach the Thunder in their inaugural season in the NRL in 2011. “Gino and Cathy join a strong group of committed NRL veterans, and the future looks very promising for the Thunder franchise.”

Tryouts begin the week of Aug. 25. tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
