◗ WAIT FOR ME DADDY

The big reveal

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

An iconic image from the Second World War is being immortalized in more ways than one.

As soldiers marched down Eighth Street on Oct. 1, 1940, Province newspaper photographer Claude P. Dettloff snapped a shot of a young boy who broke away from his mother and reached out to his father as he passed by – a photo that’s known around the world as Wait For Me Daddy.

The City of New Westminster will unveil a monument based on the photo on Saturday in Hyack Square – the very place the British Columbia Regiment marched through that day to catch a waiting ferry to take them to a training destination.

“I’m positive the reaction is going to be one of surprise, of awe and of wow,” Mayor ◗Wait For Me Page 8

Monumental change: Crews install the Wait For Me Daddy war memorial – under wraps – at Hyack Square. The new public art piece, by artists Veronica and Edwin Dam de Nogales, was inspired by Claude P. Dettloff’s famous Second World War photo. It’s being unveiled Saturday in a day of festivities that also includes the release of a new Wait For Me Daddy stamp and coin.

PAYING BACK GOVERNMENT BIG PAR T OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SCHOOLS

District cuts a cheque for $1 million

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

If the school’s district budget woes were a movie, it would have been a horror flick.

But superintendent John Gaiptman told the school board and attendees at Tuesday night’s meeting to “change the movie” in` their head, because the school district is working toward a budget turnaround plan that means no more scary plot twists.

“What we were looking for is stability for the next five years and beyond,” Gaiptman said. “This board is dedicated to financial stability.”

Gaiptman delivered an update on the district’s preliminary budget numbers for the 2013/14 school year, which at this point, show a modest $8,606 surplus.

The final surplus is yet to be determined.

The school district’s business company, which operated a school in China, is closing

down, but the district doesn’t yet know the costs to dissolve it, Gaiptman said.

Also not included, the $363,998 in strike savings, because the final count on what was spent and what wasn’t during the strike hasn’t come in.

“Next week, we’ll tell you what the (strike) savings might be,” Gaiptman said.

The district managed to “cobble” together $1,058,400 to make its first installment on the $4.87 million it owes the province for

previous budget shortfalls.

The district is paying back the remainder of the outstanding debt, but it won’t come with the loss of more staff, Gaiptman said.

The district plans to move from its headquarters at Columbia Square to a new facility at the middle school being built on the former John Robson Elementary site. The move is slated for the 2015/16 school year and will save the district $690,000 annually,

‘I THINK DEMOCRACY IS MOVING IN A WHOLE NEW DIRECTION ...’

Learning the value of voting

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

#whyIvote

B

arbara Hilstad’s life experiences have helped shape her views on the importance of voting.

When civic elections roll around, Hilstad is often seen at allcandidates meetings jotting down notes about candidates’ views on issues. With people around the world willing to give their lives for the opportunity to vote, voting is something Hilstad takes seriously.

“I have lived, studied and worked in many countries in Latin America and I too realize the value of the vote,” she wrote in an email to The Record. “Also, when there are so many candidates, how can a citizen of New Westminster ever remember who stands for what?”

While living in Ecuador in the late 1960s, Hilstad saw the same person elected president become a dictator – all within three years.

During a study program in Cuba in 1989, Hilstad witnessed a “unique brand of social democracy” – where people didn’t get to vote for their leader, but were able to elect representatives on a state and local level, and had a system of recall they could use if people didn’t keep their promises.

There were roaming death squads in Guatemala in the 1990s, when Hilstad was teaching in that country. Although there were elections in Guatemala, she said they didn’t make the country a safe place today.

When it comes to senior levels of government, Hilstad is troubled by some of the changes she’s seen through the years.

“I think democracy is moving into a whole new dimension, run by corporations,” she said. “I am not sure that we even have a democracy anymore. The question of voting comes up big in my mind again.”

On a local level, Hilstad believes it’s important to vote in municipal elections. She strongly supports change, as she thinks people become entrenched and comfortable in their

“I want to hear what our next leaders have to say about themselves, how they get along with others or if they are stuck on a personal issue.”

positions if they’re in office for a long time.

“The basic reason I vote is I think we ought to change our government regularly,” she said.

“I like countries that have laws, like Mexico, where the president can only be in for six years. In the States, they can only be in for eight years. Here, you can be in forever. I think it’s much healthier if you have organized, regular changes.”

During election campaigns, Hilstad reads and listens to what candidates have to say – information that helps shape the choices she

makes on election day.

“I want to hear what our next leaders have to say about themselves, how they get along with others or if they are stuck on a personal issue,” she told The Record. “Do they look at New Westminster as being as part of a much larger whole? Or are they myopic, seeing only their own backyard? When I was growing up in Kitsilano, New Westminster was at the end of the world. Today, we are just one little step in getting from wherever to somewhere. We live in a global world – even here.”

JOIN THE CONVERSATION: WHY DO YOU VOTE IN NEW WEST? The turnout in New Westminster’s civic election was 24.2 per cent in 2011.

That means less than one eligible voter in five in this city decides who makes the decisions that impact our lives. Is that good or bad, or does it even matter? We’re

Who was the first to file papers in the city?

ON THE TRAIL

F

THERESA MCMANUS

irst-time school trustee candidate Kelly Slade Kerr was the first out of the gate to file nomination papers for the upcoming civic election.

The nomination period for candidates planning to run for mayor, councillor and school trustee opened on Tuesday, Sept.

30 at 9 a.m. and closes on Friday,

Oct. 10 at 4 p.m.

In the last trip to the polls, New Westminster had four candidates for mayor, 17 for city councillor and 12 for school trustee.

If you happened to be perusing the nomination papers filed on Tuesday afternoon, you may have thought incumbent mayor Wayne Wright was first to file.

Turns out that Slade Kerr was the first candidate to meet with chief election officer Isabell Hadford to file her nomination papers, but Wright’s papers were the first posted online.

Slade Kerr requested the city hold off on posting her papers until the afternoon as they weren’t publicized until her cam-

paign website was active.

Getting out the vote

The Record isn’t the only group in town hoping to spark better voter turnout for the civic election.

A group called We Vote New West (WeVoteNW) has emerged with a goal of increasing participation in civic affairs.

A press release states the group is non-partisan and doesn’t endorse or support any particular candidate or issue but wants to promote the principles of democracy and a fair democratic election process.

“Our current goal is to help achieve voter turnout in upcom-

ing elections on Nov. 15, 2014 to 31 per cent, up from 24.5 per cent in previous elections,” states a press release. “To achieve this goal, we are in process of encouraging the New Westminster community to organize a debate for all candidates seeking the office of mayor.”

The group hopes separate debates will be held for candidates vying for spots on city council and school board.

In its press release, We Vote New West states that it’s a nonpolitical group that promotes democracy as opposed to politics, and it has a letter from Elections B.C. confirming it isn’t considered an electoral organization

under the B.C. Election Act. “P.S. Sorry, no names can be given at this time to avoid a perceived conflict of interest in case any member(s) may decide to become candidates,” concluded the press release.

Meetings set

The New West Chamber of Commerce is holding a civic mayoral forum on Tuesday, Oct. 28 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Inn at the Quay. The Queensborough Residents’ Association will be holding an all-candidates meeting Wednesday, Oct. 29 – from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Poplar Island Room at the Queensborough Community Centre, 920 Ewen Ave.

Tell us what you think are the top issues in New West Do crime, train whistles and property taxes keep you up at night?

Are you passionate about arts and sports in the community? Do you think city hall is transparent and accountable to the voters? Or is it none of the above?

We want to know what you think.

Now’s the time to make your voice heard. Please take a minute to go to our website, www.royalcityrecord.com, to fill out our very

short survey on what matters to you most in this election. Click on the tab #ELXNNW on the top bar on the home page and go to the Hot Button Issues story. There you will be directed to the survey link.

The Record will use your responses to deter-

mine the top three “hot-button” issues for this year’s election, and we will ask the candidates questions related to those topics.

You can also email us with what you think are the top issues in New Westminster’s civic election and school board elec-

tion. Email your thoughts to editorial@royalcity record.com – please put Hot Button Issues in the subject line.

You can also go old school and actually write a letter to the editor.

OUR VIEW

cipal governments, it is the local city councillors and mayor who call the shots on an incredible number of things that directly impact residents’ quality of life here in New West. While school districts are completely dependent on provincial money, school boards determine what policies and programs go live or get the axe.

Yes, federal governments set the rules for a lot of things that overlap with provincial and municipal governments.

You only have to read the daily headlines to see the battles for who handles what and who gets cash to pay for what.

It’s just one big endless tug-of-war.

And we understand that witnessing all the political battles is enough to make any potential voter throw their hands up in the air. But if we took that approach to everything in life, we’d never do anything. There are endless reasons to be cynical about everything – including politics.

Seriously, if only about one in five eligible voters vote, then that means even in the best of circumstances a minority is determining how we are governed. That is very scary stuff in a relatively small city like New Westminster.

Get off your butt and vote already IN MY OPINION

I

JULIE MACLELLAN

confess, I’ve always been a bit of an election geek. I couldn’t wait to turn 18 so I could vote – it was, as far as I was concerned, far more exciting than driving a car.

To this day, I find elections entertaining. I love the campaigns – the brochures, the door knocks, the Tweeting, even the all-candidates meetings. And, on election night, whether I’m working or not, I tend to remain glued to election results coverage online or on TV (or both) regardless of whether the vote at hand is municipal, provincial or federal.

All of which, however, I find secondary to the one act in an election that still thrills me: casting my ballot.

Despite the fact that I’ve done it dozens of times in the 25 years since that very first trip to the polls, there’s something about heading to the polling station and marking my “X” that remains oddly exciting.

That one small act makes me feel that I am doing my part for democracy – that although I am but one voice, it’s one voice among thousands (or millions) and together we add up to a whole greater than the sum of

our parts.

Admittedly, I have a poor record when it comes to backing winners; for a while there I almost felt compelled to send apology cards to any candidate I voted for, as they all seemed to go down to ignominious defeat.

Admittedly, too, I have enormous issues with the first-pastthe-post electoral system, particularly in provincial and federal elections – I don’t for a second believe it properly reflects the actual wishes of the people. (But that’s a blog post for another day.)

All that aside, I still vote every time I can. And there’s no surer way to make me crazy than to tell me you don’t vote.

I hear it often, and from many people whom I consider to be thoughtful, intelligent, contributing members of the community.

Usually, the “Oh, I never vote” is accompanied by a statement something like, “Why bother?

They’re all corrupt/greedy/ stupid/untrustworthy/insertunflattering-adjective-of-choice here.”

Sorry, people, I just don’t buy it. For one thing, it’s not true – sure, politics has its share of corrupt/greedy/stupid/untrustworthy people, just like any other field. But to paint all political hopefuls with the same brush and use it as your lame justification for not being bothered is just not good enough.

There is no excuse, not one, for not taking a short time out of your day once every few years to

Dear Editor:

I have been going to the Queen’s Park dog park since it was established. Often I go daily with my two dogs, one big and one small. Yesterday there were three official-looking people with clip boards there when I arrived. I had to ask what their purpose was, fearing for my beloved pet’s favourite park. They explained tentative plans to section off part of the park for small dogs only.

They said their “survey” concluded there were small dog owners who wanted a space for only small dogs, citing fears and concerns of perhaps a few “elderly” citizens who didn’t feel secure putting little Fluffy in with the big dogs. In the many years I have been going there I have yet to meet one person who wished for a separate small-dog-only park!

I was horrified when they shared their intention ◗Vote Page 7 to cordon off the best part of the park for little dogs

only and their owners who are, perhaps, two per cent of the population that would actually use it!

Everyone who goes there knows that 98 per cent of the dogs play in the north end of the dog park where there are lots of trees, boulders, logs and benches to provide stimulating play for rambunctious dogs, large and small. The south end of the park is rarely used as there are fewer of the obstacles at that end and fewer trees to provide shade. So, logically, wouldn’t you first look at utilizing the part of the park least used for the separate small dog area?

Why would you take away the part of the park that 98 per cent of the dogs – big and small – play in 99 per cent of the time and give it to the maybe two per cent that may or may not even bother to use it – and certainly not even remotely close to the amount of time big dogs and their owners spend there?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dog park plan illogical ◗ continued from page 6

dog park to a segregated large and small dog park, then do so in a manner that recognizes and respects how many actually use which areas and base the decision on the factual numbers of past and current utilization.

Also this fact; if their aim is to reduce the possibility of small dogs being subject to big dog aggression, then putting a fence between them is totally counterproductive to that end. Just watch the dogs inside the dog park react to someone walking a dog past them on the other side of the fence.

Watch both sides go ballistic as they jump at the fence trying to get to each other.

The best way to ensure animosity is to put a fence between two dogs; even leashing can trigger protective behaviour between

them. Put those same dogs together free in the park and they will play together just fine 99 per cent of the time – large and small. In fact, it is generally the small dogs who are the troublemakers and boss around the big dogs!

Their last reason for their plan of putting the small dog only area in the most popular part of the park? “That is where the drinking fountain is.” Really? My solution: get another bowl and put it at the other end for them. Seriously, it is the big dogs running around with each other that use it mostly anyways. I’m sure anyone there will gladly fill the bowl with fresh water for the little pups that don’t want to be in with the general pupulation.

exercise your democratic responsibility.

If you don’t like the people who are being voted in, then ask yourself why. Could it be because you – and people like you – aren’t bothering to have a say? The people getting elected are being chosen by somebody, so if you don’t like who the rest of us are choosing, then get off your butt and do something about it.

If you don’t like the quality of the people running for office, that makes it even more important for you to get involved – ask questions at all-candidates meetings, hold the hopefuls’ feet to the fire about what matters to you, write letters to your newspaper editor; heck, even run for office yourself.

And, on election day, if you’re really unhappy, then march to the polls and spoil your ballot in protest.

But whatever you do, just don’t write off that chance to vote.

How can you in all conscience not cast a ballot when, in other parts of the world, people are literally dying for that simple privilege?

govern themselves, of oppressed people who rose up and defied despotism and tyranny of all stripes for the right to determine their own destiny.

Even here in Canada, that right hasn’t always been clear for all of us.

When my grandmothers were born, women didn’t even have the right to vote – the federal Act to Confer the Electoral Franchise upon Women wasn’t passed until 1919. Other groups – like ChineseCanadians and JapaneseCanadians – were even less fortunate. The federal Elections Act was finally amended in 1948 to remove race as grounds for exclusion from voting. Even then, First Nations people didn’t earn the right to vote in federal elections (without losing their treaty status) until 1960.

I could go on and on.

But the point stands: People have fought long and hard for this one right, and you’re writing it off because – whatever excuse you wrap it up in – you just can’t be bothered?

Big fail.

So, frankly, if you don’t get out there to the polls on Nov. 15, then I don’t want to hear what you think about much of anything.

I don’t want your opinion about traffic, or taxes, or schools, or parks. I don’t want to know whether

you hate the highrise that’s being built down the street or whether you feel safe walking in your neighbourhood at night. I don’t want to hear you moan about the lack of ice time at your local arena or the fact that your local soccer fields are of poor quality or the fact that the city needs a new theatre or a better art gallery. I don’t want to hear that you hate shopping malls or SkyTrain or that you wish the city did a better job clearing snow.

Because you have a say in all of those things – and if you’re not availing yourself of it, then I’ll thank you to keep your opinions to yourself.

Democracy gives us many rights, which go hand-in-hand with responsibilities – the very simplest of all of those responsibilities being the simple act of marking your choice on a piece of paper.

As the French political philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville famously said, we get the government we deserve.

Join me on Nov. 15, won’t you, and let’s make sure we get a good one.

Wait for Me: Unveiling this weekend

A family-owned Funeral Home does make a difference...

◗ continued from page 1

Wayne Wright told The Record. “It’s that different.”

Since its arrival in Hyack Square on Tuesday, the monument has been shrouded in preparation for the weekend’s big reveal.

At the event, Canada Post is unveiling a stamp and the Royal Canadian Mint is releasing a $2 coin, both based on the image captured in New Westminster 74 years ago.

Whitey Bernard – the little boy in the photograph – will be on hand to unveil the monument.

The City of New Westminster selected internationally acclaimed artists Veronica and Edwin Dam de Nogales over 15 other artists to create the memorial. The juried process was overseen by the mayor’s Wait For Me Daddy task force.

“In the two years since we began this, our approach was to create a piece, which will act as a beacon to bridge the past with the future. Our hope is that viewers appreciate the subtle echoings of the architecture of the new Anvil Centre in its geometric form within an image captured from the past,” stated the artists in a press release.

“We are thrilled with the outcome, we hope everyone else will be too.”

The Wait For Me Daddy monument, stamp and coin have put New Westminster on the national stage, with special guests at Saturday’s ceremony to include veterans, presidents of Canada Post and the Royal Canadian Mint, a representative of the defence department in the Netherlands, federal and provincial representatives and Dettloff’s grandchildren.

Because of protocols surrounding the unveiling of a war memorial, it’s expected the ceremony will last about an hour. The city suggests people bring folding chairs, as it may be a long time to stand.

Offering:

Simple cremation to full funeral services • Fair and affordable prices • Arrangements can be made in the comfort of your own home • No commissioned sales people • Pre-planning and pre-paid funeral arrangements • 24 hour On Call Service

Iconic: The Wait For Me Daddy photo has inspired a new statue in Hyack Square.

In addition to being shown on a big screen at the site, the ceremony will also be live-streamed through the city’s website (www.newwestcity.ca) and CBC (www.cbc. ca/bc).

Sales of the new Wait For Me Daddy stamp and coin will begin at noon. A variety of activities are taking place at Anvil Centre from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m., including the opening of the Wait For Me Daddy museum exhibit, an art exhibition, a vintage car display and a toonie exchange (bring an old toonie and get a new Wait For Me Daddy toonie.)

The celebration resumes in the evening, when the New Westminster Police Department lights the Wait For Me Daddy war memorial for the first time at 7:30 p.m.

Three nabbed in truck theft

Three people were arrested in New Westminster while driving an allegedly stolen vehicle.

Around 3 p.m. on Sept. 24, local officers spotted a GMC pickup truck that had been reported stolen out of Burnaby earlier in the day. It was parked in the 900 block of 12th Street, according to a media release from New West police.

A short while later, three individuals returned to the truck and drove away.

With help from the Air 1 police helicopter, officers were able to arrest the suspects without incident, the release added.

All three suspects were in court Thursday morning where charges were officially laid against them.

“We are extremely pleased that these individuals are now in custody, and we

believe their arrest will have a positive impact on some of our recent property crime stats,” Staff Sgt. Paul Hyland said in the release.

New West resident Kevin Richard Montemurro, 21, and Surrey resident Robert Arnold Karajaoja, 31, are each facing one count of theft of a motor vehicle and one count of possession of stolen property. Karajaojo is also facing one count of breach of recognizance. Monique Maisie Andreasen, a 33-year-old from New West, was charged with one count of possession of break-in instruments, one count of theft of a motor vehicle and one count of possession of stolen property.

The three are scheduled to be back in court on Jan. 7, 2015.

Budget: District ‘changing the movie’ ◗ continued from page 1

which it will use toward its debt.

The district allocated $384,000 for staff for this year, with teachers added at both Richard McBride and Lord Kelvin elementaries, as well as keeping a teacher at Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary. The district is also working with the New Westminster Teachers’ Union to hear how it wants to spend new dedicated money ($872,742) that was negotiated in the recent contract between teachers and the government.

The union is recommending new teachers at Connaught Heights, Queen Elizabeth Elementary, Queensborough Middle School and École Glenbrooke Middle school, New Westminster Teachers’ Union president Grant Osborne told The Record.

Osborne praised Gaiptman, calling the district’s budget turnaround “astounding.”

Trustee Casey Cook echoed the praise.

“This is the first time in my sixth year that I am at this table that I have opti-

mism that we have built sustainability into the system,” he said.

On Tuesday, trustees voted for a draft policy that would ensure the district develops a contingency fund to deal with unexpected costs.

Meanwhile, Gaiptman said the strike didn’t impact this year’s enrolment projections. The district is only six students below the 5,660 kindergarten-to-Grade 12 students it predicted for fall.

Final counts are not yet in.

The new Experience the Fraser exhibit promotes the Canyon to Coast trail and blueway components of the Experience the Fraser project. The project aims to connect the Lower Fraser River from Hope to the Salish Sea by means of more than 640 kilometres of trail and via the river itself.

With its location on New Westminster’s waterfront, Fraser River Discovery Centre believes it’s the perfect venue to bring awareness, educate and encourage visitors to experience the natural beauty and opportunities of the Fraser River.

SALMONBELLIES Celebrating a Lacrosse Legacy Slur became a name to take pride in

BY JENNIFER THUNCHER CONTRIBUTOR editorial@royalcityrecord.com

For more photos, scan with Layar

O

riginally a sport played by the Iroquois and Algonquin peoples, an adapted version of (field) lacrosse was played in New Westminster by at least the 1800s. The first official lacrosse club was set up in the Royal City in 1888. The first lacrosse game was played in June of 1889.

According to one legend, the team got its iconic “Salmonbellies” name when, wearing salmon-red sweaters, the New Westminster team was taunted by their rivals as “salmon-bellies”, a slur basically referring to the weakest part of the fish. For whatever reason, the Salmonbellies players and fans adopted the name, and it stuck. By 1897, the name was being referenced in newspaper reports about the team.

There have been plenty of highs and lows in the Salmonbellies 125 year history. The Record asked the man who literally wrote the book on the history of the Salmonbellies, Bruce MacDonald (author of Salmonbellies Versus The World: The story of the most famous team in lacrosse and their greatest rivals), and senior Salmonbellies president and general manager Dan Richardson to each share a few highlights of the ’Bellies long history.

MacDonald said the first highlight was when the Salmonbellies beat the reigning champion Montreal Shamrocks in 1908 to win the Minto Cup for the first time. (Nowadays, the juniors play for the Minto Cup, but back in the day there was no Mann Cup, teams just played for the Minto.) Before the Salmonbellies took the cup in 1908, Montreal had won it since its conception in 1901.

“It was a complete shock. Today it would be like a team from Smithers plays the Chicago Blackhawks for the Stanley Cup, and wins. It was just impossible,” said MacDonald.

When the team returned home to New Westminster, the Minto Cup was proudly displayed in Thomas

Gifford’s jewelry store on Columbia Street.

MacDonald’s second pick for an historical Salmonbellies’ highlight was during the 1920s, generally a time when there was a lot of turmoil in lacrosse in Canada as the game had lost some popularity during the First World War. The Salmonbellies were the dominant team during the

‘20s, but the 1927 Mann Cup was extra special.

“By winning that 1927 Mann Cup the Salmonbellies earned the right to represent Canada at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam,” said MacDonald. (Lacrosse was a demonstration sport at the 1928 Summer Olympics.)

“That is the only instance of a single team in lacrosse, ◗History Page 16

History: A passion for lacrosse ◗ continued from page 15

or maybe in any other sport, that competed in the Olympics… and it was a team from New Westminster,“ said MacDonald.

The team was made up of all Salmonbellies players, but they were representing Canada.

“They were all young men and they were all raised in New Westminster,” he said.

The players had to raise about $29,000 (equivalent of close to $400,000 today) for the trip, which, thanks to community support, they did.

MacDonald’s third and final pick for a historical Salmonbellies highlight was in 1937 when, after several years of struggling, the Salmonbellies won the Mann Cup. (In 1932 the B.C. league switched over to box lacrosse, which lead to the team’s years of lackluster play.)

In the ‘37 Mann Cup, the Salmonbellies defeated the reigning three-time Canadian champion Orillia Terriers. To achieve this the then Salmonbellies general manager and president – and Royal City mayor – Fred Hume had hired the three best players off the Orillia Terriers.

“He brought them to New Westminster and gave them jobs and everything,” said MacDonald, with a laugh.

MacDonald said this kind of extreme action by Hume is an example of the passion for the Salmonbellies many in New Westminster have demonstrated

over the years.

“What these people do, doesn’t make a lot of sense,” he said. “They spend tons of money and they don’t get a lot of recognition, they just do it out of love.”

Richardson’s picks for Salmonbellies highlights includes the era between 1915 and 1925 referenced by MacDonald.

“We won nine of 11 Canadian championships (Mann Cups),” Richardson said.

He also chose the period from 196876 because of the number of championships the team wracked up during that period. “(Between) 1968 and 1976 we won a world championship and four out of seven Canadian championships,” he said. It is a period he has hoped to recreate with his modern-day team.

Richardson’s final highlight pick was just this past summer when the Salmonbellies celebrated their 125th anniversary with an alumni gala event at the Starlight Casino attended by about 250 former players, their families and supporters.

Richardson said the anniversary shows the continued strong bond between the four levels of Salmonbellies lacrosse: alumni, seniors, junior, minors, coupled with the city and community.

“You will not find the history, the green wooden floor, the success, the partnership, the bond, the pride, the community spirit anywhere else in Canada than what the Salmonbellies have,” Richardson said.

Lacrosse stars replay career highlights

BY JENNIFER THUNCHER CONTRIBUTOR

Q: What was the highlight of your Salmonbellies career?

A: [After a hardy laugh at the question.] One night, I think I scored eight goals and one assist against the North Shore Indians. That immediately comes to mind. I was just a young one, about 17 years old. It was the first year I got on as a Salmonbellie, 1938. The previous year I had just been a spare.

n honour of the 125th year of the Salmonbellies, The Record caught up with a few of the lacrosse stars of the past to find out what the highlight of their career was, what they have been up to since and what being a member of the Salmonbellies meant to them. What follows is an abridged version of those conversations.

Q: What do/did the Salmonbellies mean to you?

A: The people of New Westminster, they followed the Salmonbellies right through from the 1800s. That was a big thing for me to be able to go and play for the Salmonbellies. I even had a spare tire cover on my car with a big Salmonbellies crest on it. I was quite proud of the fact that I was a Salmonbellie, believe me.

Paul Parnell Played with the Salmonbellies 1961 – ’75.

Parnell was captain, won five Mann Cups and to this day remains the team’s all-time points leader and one of the 10 alltime Canadian point getters.

Q: What was the highlight of your Salmonbellies career?

A: I would have to say winning two Mike Kelly medals (Mann Cup most valuable player awards). That was in 1970 and 1972. It is an award for the best player in a series. I don’t know why, it just stands out.

It was just great.

Q: What did you do after you finished playing lacrosse?

A: I was a Salmonbellies commissioner for many years, I am a Salmonbellies alumni and I am chairman of the Lacrosse Hall of Fame, and was the treasurer. I was fire chief for New Westminster for many

together and it was a real good team.

Q: What do/did the Salmonbellies mean to you?

A: It has been great playing for the Salmonbellies and being a member of the Salmonbellies. It is kind of a brotherhood. We all partied together, we went out

Ralph Burton Played for the Salmonbellies from 1937 to 1947.

He played forward and was known for scoring goals.

Q: What did you do after you finished playing lacrosse?

A: I went to dental school from 1946 and graduated in 1950. I practised a couple of years in New Westminster and then in Vancouver for many years. Now, I am just up to growing older gracefully.

Eric Cowieson Played with the Salmonbellies from 1978 to 1995 He was captain of the team for 14 years and accumulated 1,045 points in 635 games.

Looking back: Oldtimers recall career highlights ◗ continued from page 18

Cowieson also holds Mann Cup records for most games played (62) and most series played (11).

Q: What was the highlight of your Salmonbellies career?

A: The biggest highlights are probably when we won the Mann Cups. I was able to win four in my time. I think the one in 1986 was the most gratifying because we won it back in Ontario and after losing here the year before in seven games, so it was kind of redemption to go back and win against the same team that beat us here, in 1985. No one has won it back east since we won it in 1986, so it shows how tough it is to win back there.

Q: What do/did the Salmonbellies mean to you?

A: I grew up in Burnaby and you always knew who the Salmonbellies were, but when I got there that is when I met Wayne Goss (considered one of the best lacrosse players in the game) and that changed my perspective of the whole organization, and it just grew and grew and became part of our whole family. All the kids in New West seem to grow up and play lacrosse. I don’t know if there is a whole lot of hockey players that come out of New West, but there are certainly lots of lacrosse players. They are the Montreal Canadiens of lacrosse.

Q: What did you do after you finished playing lacrosse?

I took a couple of years off and then I helped coached the senior Salmonbellies team for a few years. My kids played lacrosse so I coached my son and daughter coming up. I also got to be assistant coach with the Vancouver Ravens for a few years. (The Ravens were a National Lacrosse League team from 2002 to 2004.) I worked for the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch for 35 years. Now I am retired and enjoying it.

do you give to the ‘Bellies?

A: I probably spend as many hours with the Salmonbellies as I do with my paid job.

I grew up in a family that volunteered and that is just what you do – you give back.

Q: You are Salmonbellies’ president, general manager, and on the Q: What do you think the board of directors (all unpaid and Salmonbellies mean to New volunteer) and you have a full-time career with a bank. How much time Westminster?

A: It means a lot. I mean you walk around in the city of New West in the summer and there is not a day you don’t see a kid in a pair of red shorts with a ‘Bellies logo on and carrying a stick and a ball. I travel around with my work and I go to different communities and I don’t see that kind of concentrated support for one particular team. Every other team in our league has private owners. The Salmonbellies are owned by the community, and they know that.

Q: How long will you keep at this?

A: I had some goals when I took over. At the time the club was kind of in a downswing. We had such a good run through the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, and this was in the late ’80s early ’90s when I came on board and quite frankly it wasn’t good. I wanted to get it back to its glory years.

I wanted to fill Queen’s Park to the rafters, I wanted to win our 25th Mann Cup and I wanted to turn the ship around and, for the most part, we have done all those things, except for win the 25th Mann Cup. I would love to stay on until we get this club to the Mann Cup. For the full interview, go to www. royalcityrecord.com

From one heritage brand to another...

Congratulations Salmonbellies on 125 years.

We started over 50 years ago in Vancouver, BC as a casual, affordable place for great steaks.

Today, we’ve stayed true to our roots. We’re still serving juicy flame-grilled premium Canada AAA steaks, and our famous Mikeburgers. Not into beef? No problem. We have tasty pastas, stirfrys, seafood and salads. There’s something on the menu for everyone.

No fancy frills. No stuffed shirt attitude.

Just real people and great food. Everything you’d want in a steakhouse. Only casual.

Explore behind the scenes at the fire hall

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

An auto extrication and a high-angle rescue demonstration will be featured during the New Westminster Fire and Rescue Service’s open house.

The fire department is holding its annual open house on Sunday, Oct. 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Glenbrook fire hall.

The open house features live demonstrations, equipment displays, tours of the fire safety house, a visit from Sparky the fire dog and ALI from E-Comm, a barbecue (by donation) with proceeds going to the New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society, as well as prize draws.

“We have an exciting bunch of activities taking place,” said firefighter Kathy Ius. “We have interactive displays with various agencies, community partners, we work with.”

B.C. Ambulance Service, New Westminster Police Department, the Victims Services Unit and the Community Policing Unit, will be among the partner agencies on hand to showcase what they offer the City of New Westminster and how they work with the fire department.

“We have a couple of different dem-

onstrations we are going to feature,” Ius said. “The first one is an auto extrication exercise, which we are going to try and reenact in real time.”

The exercise, which gets underway at 10:50 a.m., will begin with the fire department getting dispatched to a call, and continue with the various fire crews and emergency responders attending in a simulated way, and extricating someone from a car.

“We want to send a message about the story behind the driver – I don’t want to give it away,” Ius said. “We want to explain and show why it is when there are certain MVAs, there are so many emergency vehicles.”

In the afternoon, fire crews will do a high-angle rescue demonstration that shows how firefighters can do rescues.

The open house is the kickoff event to Fire Prevention Week, which runs from Oct. 5 to 11.

“Needless to say, we are going to have a display on all things fire prevention,” Ius said. “This year’s theme is, working alarms save lives.”

The Glenbrook fire hall is located at 1 East Sixth Ave., next to Canada Games Pool and the recycling depot. twitter.com/TheresaMcManus

◗ HEALTH

Want to be healthy?

Get active now HEALTHWISE

DR. DAVIDICUS WONG

T

he greatest predictors of your health tomorrow are the habits you practise today.

I recognize four facets of self-care. They form the foundation of your future.

The first is what you eat (a healthy diet); the second, how you feel (effective emotional management); the third, how you relate (healthy relationships) and the fourth, what you do (physical activity).

For some illogical reason, human beings take some if not all of these four foundations for granted. We can spend more time websurfing and updating Facebook than talking face-to-face with the people we really care about. Most of us spend more time in chairs, in cars, on transit and in shopping malls than in getting the physical

activity our bodies were designed for.

If we put more thought into what we eat, how we feel, how we relate and how we move, we wouldn’t leave choice to chance, and we would all be empowered to take control of our own health.

In fact, many of my patients feel they are too busy to fit healthy activity into their days. They see exercise as a luxury – something they vaguely hope they will get around to some time in the future.

But if you’re sedentary now, it is less likely that you’ll enjoy good health and be able to move so freely in the future.

Exercise is not just for athletes. Any body can adapt and improve with healthy activity.

Even in our 60s, we can build muscle and increase strength with resistance exercises, such as light weight training. If our brains and bodies are engaged in sports: we can learn new skills and new dances at any age.

But what we don’t use atrophies. The muscles we neglect shrink and become

weak. Our cardiac and respiratory fitness plummets if we restrict our movements to short walks.

If we become accustomed to moving little and very slowly, we will lose our sense of balance.

Without stimulation and practice, coordination deteriorates and we are more prone to falls and injuries.

At the end of your workday, you may feel tired and feel you’ve had enough physical activity for the day. If you’re a firefighter or a Vancouver Canuck, you may be right, but for the rest of us – even if we’ve been on our feet and walking most of the day – our bodies require particular types of activity to remain in peak condition.

Consider the six aspects of physical function (from Carolyn Kisner and Lynn Allen Colby’s text,

Giving new life to old traditions

St., 442-6th442-6th St., New Westminster 5412 A Imperial St., Burnaby New Westminster

Canada’s First Nations and Metis people have long used finger weaving to create beautiful sashes and belts.

Mechtild Morin is keeping the tradition alive by hosting workshops at the 100 Braid Street Studios. Oct. 4 will be Introduction to Basic Finger Weaving Technique. Oct. 18 will be Advanced Finger Weaving - Learning to Create Patterns. It’s $20 per session, which includes materials.

You can register at 100BraidStStudios. com or by emailing her at mechtildmorin@ gmail.com. She’s also started a crowdfunding campaign on FundAid.ca to help fund her teaching efforts.

Smell ‘n’ tell 1

Smell rotten eggs?

It could be natural gas.

2

Go outside.

Call FortisBC’s 24-hour emergency line at 1-800-663-9911 or 911.

Natural gas is used safely in B.C. every day. But if you smell rotten eggs, go outside first, then call us.

Health: Exercise isn’t optional ◗ continued from page 28

Therapeutic Exercise): cardiopulmonary fitness (endurance), flexibility (the ability to move freely), coordination (smooth, efficient movement), stability (joint stability and muscle balance), dynamic balance, and muscle performance (strength, power and

endurance). Just running and cycling is not enough, neither is weight training alone. A good exercise program will address all six aspects of function – reduce falls and injuries, maintain vigour and strength, and keep us fit well into our golden years.

Dr. Davidicus Wong will

be speaking on self-care at the Bob Prittie (Metrotown) Branch of the Burnaby Public Library on Oct. 20. Register by phone at 604-436-5400 or online at www.bpl.bc.ca/ events. You can read more about achieving your positive potential in health at davidicuswong.wordpress. com.
