KICKING UP A SAPPER TON DAY STORM

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Royal City residents will have to head out of town to enjoy a night around the campfire.

While more and more retailers are selling wood-burning fire bowls and chimineas, outdoor fires are prohibited in New Westminster. Portable propane campfires are included in the city’s ban.

Kathy Ius, who works in community outreach and emergency preparedness for New Westminster Fire and Rescue Services, said portable appliances or devices that people can sit around are strictly prohibited unless it is used for the preparation of foods. All appliances being used for food preparation must have a grate on top.

“It isn’t sufficient enough to have a large pit with a grate over top of it, for example, with one hotdog or a marshmallow to qualify as OK,” Ius said. “There has to be a clear and demonstratable use of these devices as being used solely for cooking.”

The city’s fire bylaw states that no person shall start, light, ignite or burn any fire of any kind whatsoever in the open air or ◗Fires Page 4

SPECIAL ADVISER WILL REVIEW SCHOOL DISTRICT’S BOOKS OVER SUMMER

‘I knocked on ... doors and asked for help’

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The Ministry of Education is covering the bill for a special adviser to help the New Westminster school district deal with its finances, including a plan to start paying back the $4.8 million the district owes the province.

Superintendent John Gaiptman said he asked the ministry to bring in consultant

CINDY GERING 604.779.1292

David Greenan, a retired secretary-treasurer from Vernon, to review the district’s books over the summer.

“He’s coming in to deal with my insecurities, my inabilities … I knocked on the doors and I asked for help that would be at no cost to the school district,” Gaiptman told The Record. “I have made commitments to staff teachers and support staff that we will make sure that we get our budget in working order. … I made the

same commitment to parents.”

The superintendent took over managing the district after John Woudzia left the district in February.

Over the years, frustrated parents have called for a ministry-appointed special adviser to oversee the school district – in 2007, 2009 and in January of this year, – to address the district’s ongoing money troubles. Nothing materialized from those requests.

Previous budget shortfalls have left the district owing the province almost $5 million – the plan is for the district to start repaying the money next year and pay it off over the course of five years. By law, school districts cannot run deficits.

The school board passed a balanced budget for this school year, school board chair Jonina Campbell said in a media release. ◗Schools Page 4

‘IT’S INSANE TO ME ... HE STILL DENIES KILLING ANGIE’ – BEN DOYLE

Murderer granted day parole

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A man convicted of killing a New Westminster native nearly 22 years ago has been granted day parole.

Wayne Alexander Perkin was convicted of second-degree murder in the 1992 murder of 24-year-old Angela Richards.

Richards, a graduate of New Westminster Secondary School and a Miss New Westminster contestant, had moved to Langley to train to become a helicopter pilot.

She was murdered in her Langley apartment on June 13, 1992.

About 10 of Richards’ family members and high school friends attended the June 5 parole hearing at William Head Institution on Vancouver Island.

“Absolutely devastating,” Richards’ longtime friend Ben Doyle said of the decision.

“I feel like I have just been coming out of a 22-year coma of sorts, and now he seeks his freedom and gets it. I just can’t believe it. This is a guy who murdered while on parole. I am pretty sure most people don’t understand why he can get out.”

After a three-and-a-half hour hearing, the two members of the parole board supported Perkin’s application for day parole. Day parole means he’s out during the day and stays at a halfway house at night, and faces restrictions such as no alcohol, no drugs and no sex with females under 18 years of age.

“They are satisfied that he is a manageable risk,” Doyle said. “It’s insane to me. He still denies killing Angie, and he minimizes all the other crimes, all the things he has been convicted of. It’s unbelievable. I really believed they were going to deny his application, but they didn’t. I was floored.”

Corinne Schafer, Richards’ sister, said evidence was presented at the hearing that suggested Perkin did well on the second of two unescorted temporary absences and has job opportunities when he leaves prison. While incarcerated, she said he’s also had more than 300 temporary escorted absences to attend meetings and appointments.

“I wouldn’t have thought in a thousand years he would get off,” she told The Record after the hearing. “I am amazed. He is still a moderate risk to reoffend – not a small risk – as a sexual, violent predator of women.”

Schafer said it’s “shameful” that her sister’s family and friends even have to attend parole hearings, given his history.

“The fact that he murdered while on parole and we have to fight to keep him in is so stupid. We shouldn’t have to,” she said. “You know what? It doesn’t matter how much we cried our hearts out and say he shouldn’t – it doesn’t make a difference, from their point of view, which is risk factors involved. And even though he is still a ‘moderate’ risk, they’re letting him out.”

“The guy today said ‘I have to tell you, all your statements were touching, and you are very smart about what you say and very moving.’ I said, ‘Yeah, because we have had 20 years’ experience writing them.’ It really doesn’t matter what you say because it’s really not taken into the scope of what these parole officers look at.”

Life cut short: Angie Richards enjoyed a camel ride during a visit to the Middle East.

The man convicted with her June 1992 murder has received day parole. ruled that Perkin wouldn’t be eligible to apply for parole for 18 years, based on the nature of the “brutal” killing and the public’s safety.

The Crown’s case was based on the theory that Perkin, an experienced kickboxer who lived across the hall from Richards, struck her in the head and repeatedly stabbed her.

At the time of Richards’ murder, Perkin was on parole for aggravated sexual assault and unlawful confinement. A manager of a townhouse complex at the time of that crime, he was found guilty of luring a woman to a shed where he bound and gagged her, sexually assaulted her and hit her over the head with a ball peen hammer.

Richards’ family and friends disagree with the parole board’s view that Perkin is a “manageable risk” in the community.

“Absolutely not. I fear for people living in his vicinity,” Doyle said. “Here is the reason: if he won’t even come to terms with what he has done, he is totally out of touch

with his own risk factors.”

Following the hearing, Schafer called her mom and let her know that Richards’ killer had been granted day parole.

“We cried a bit. She did say she knew in her heart from watching all the different news stories about people who did get out, she sort of knew in her heart. It’s really hard. It’s just so hard for us,” she cried. “I hope he doesn’t hurt anyone else. That would be nice for us if he actually has rehabilitated himself. That would be wonderful to know he is a success story – you can murder and still rehabilitate yourself.”

On the same evening that they learned Richards’ killer would be getting day parole, her family presented the Angie Richards Memorial Bursary to a graduating student from New Westminster Secondary School.

“It’s a really nice thing,” Doyle said. “It’s really nice to have something in your loved one’s name that sustains itself. In front of Massey Theatre we still have a memory stone.

It is nice to have these tangible things.”

Prior to the hearing, a friend of Richards launched an online petition against Perkin’s request for day parole. As of June 5, 750 people had signed the petition to the parole board of Canada on change.org to deny day or full parole to Perkin.

“It’s really hard to tell everyone we failed. I failed my sister. That’s how it feels. We didn’t win for her. We didn’t change anything,” Schafer told The Record. “The guy today said, ‘I have to tell you, all your statements were touching, and you are very smart about what you say and very moving.’ I said, ‘Yeah, because we have had 20 years’ experience writing them.’ It doesn’t matter what you say because it’s really not taken into the scope of what these parole officers look at.”

Students lobby for hockey box at Glenbrook

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Forget the NHL playoffs, there’s some hockey drama right here in New Westminster.

The New Westminster school district plans to meet with the Grade 5 students at Herbert Spencer Elementary, who are taking a shot and hoping to score a hockey box at École Glenbrook Middle School for their arrival next year.

“We, the fifth graders of Herbert

Spencer Elementary School, are very excited about going to Glenbrook Middle School in the fall. However, we aren’t all that happy about the lack of a hockey box there,” says a letter, signed by “the fifth graders,” and sent to the board of education.

The students wrote that they “love” playing hockey but will be “deprived” of that pleasure once they hit the bigger school.

“We hope you will take the time and money to build a hockey box,” the letter urges.

Fires: Don’t burn in city ◗ continued from page 1

in any portable incinerator or portable appliance or device, except where fire is contained within a portable appliance or device and is used solely for the cooking and preparation of food and is fuelled by propane, natural gas or charcoal.

Outdoor burning of garden materials or waste is also prohibited.

“The intention here is to ensure that fire protection is kept at a maximum,” Ius said in

an email to The Record. “In the drier summer months, the interface (i.e. trees, shrubs, forest) becomes critically significant when considering the use of these devices in our backyards.

The potential for fire spread is very high.”

Under the city’s bylaws, people who have an open fire or burn building or yard waste face a $200 fine for the first offence or $400 for repeat offences.

The board directed staff to look into the prospect of having a hockey box at the school and to meet with the students to talk about the situation. Trustees questioned whether a hockey box would encroach on city land and want staff to provide clarity, but were generally receptive to the idea.

“I think it’s great idea,” said trustee David Phelan.

He also suggested the district talk to F.W. Howay school about the cost of putting in a hockey box as that

school recently put one in.

Board of education chair Jonina Campbell’s own son, Mathew, is among the Spencer petitioners, which included every Grade 5 student in the school.

This isn’t the first request for a hockey box. Last year a parent came forward with the same hope, she said.

“In my experience, it’s something people would definitely like to see there,” Campbell said. twitter.com/nikimhope

David Phelan trustee

Schools: Fresh set of eyes for district The school district has a “moral imperative” to make sure it doesn’t burden families with anymore deficits, Gaiptman said.

“We have to get everything in line, and here’s somebody that turned around a district previously – he has an outstanding working record, and there’s something for the ministry if there’s some way to do it better, they’re get paid back sooner.

It’s good for them,” Gaiptman said. “The ideal is that he sits down and he shows me something I have not thought of before, and I learn something, and I do my job better.”

Gaiptman expects to receive an update from Greenan in September. twitter.com/nikimhope

◗ continued from page 1

Gaiptman wanted to work with Greenan, who has a track record of helping financially challenged school districts.

“He was the person that walked out and helped out Langley. He’s done this in Vernon, he’s done this in Mission,” Gaiptman said. “He’s acknowledged as one of the very best, and one is never too old to learn, and I want to learn and make sure we are doing everything the right way.”

Greenan will bring a fresh set of eyes to the district, said Gaiptman, who hopes to gain understanding with the consultant’s help. The situation is ideal, the superintendent said, because it “comes to us without a price tag.”

Coquitlam backs city’s call for road upgrades

BY JOHN KURUCZ REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Officials from both New Westminster and Coquitlam were in the same room Monday discussing truck traffic, vehicle congestion and the movement of regional goods.

But unlike the vast majority of recent talks, both sides seem to be in total agreement on the ideal outcome. Monday’s discussions centred around the South Fraser Perimeter Road and how both cities would benefit from added connectivity options on the south side of the Fraser River.

New Westminster Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said the tolls on the Port Mann Bridge have exacerbated truck and other vehicle traffic in New West, Coquitlam and Pitt Meadows.

“The fact that there is no connectivity is a huge deterrent in the use of (the Port Mann Bridge),” Puchmayr said.

The councillor added that because of that follow us on

current lack of connectivity, greenhouse gas emissions are on the rise, as large trucks are taking longer routes to get to their destinations.

Puchmayr said a few options have been studied in the range of $250 to $400 million to build the necessary infrastructure, which would likely come in the form of an onramp or small bridge.

His appearance before Coquitlam council was simply to ask for its support in pursuing one of those options with the province, and council unanimously backed his push.

That solidarity was a far cry from the rhetoric involved in the ongoing dispute between the two cities regarding a replacement for the Bailey bridge.

“I think it’s appropriate to stand up and be counted and speak where we have the opportunity to speak and say, ‘This needs to happen and it needs to happen quickly,’” said Coquitlam Coun. Neal Nicholson.

OUR VIEW

behaviour can be predicted. It defies logic to suggest that such risk is therefore ‘manageable’.

We agree with Richards’ family and friends that it would be “wonderful to know he is a success story – you can murder and rehabilitate yourself.” They, like us, hope he doesn’t ever hurt anybody else. But as Doyle says, “I fear for people living in his vicinity.”

We agree.

The parole board’s two members who made this decision bear a huge responsibility. We hope nobody is harmed by

Perkin ever again. But if he does hurt someone again, he will, of course be at fault, but what of the parole board members who believed the risk was manageable?

Their decisions are difficult ones, we are sure. They cannot lock offenders away forever and just throw away the key. But their decisions can literally mean life or death for innocent members of the public who may encounter a ‘manageable risk’ who failed.

That gamble is just too much for us, and the public.

What’s the answer to teachers’ dispute?

IN THE HOUSE

A

KEITH BALDREY

s the latest contract dispute involving B.C.’s teachers careens towards the inevitably unsatisfactory conclusion for all involved, it’s worth asking whether another bargaining model should be adopted.

But while it may be worth it to pose the question, it’s far from clear that any alternative exists that is the magic solution that would satisfy all parties.

Take binding arbitration, the most commonly referred to option to the current system. I’ve not heard enthusiasm for this solution from either the employer or the teachers’ union.

The problem with binding arbitration for the parties involved in it is that it can lead to an outcome that is beyond the control of those affected.

For the employer, this can mean a financial arbitration that may greatly exceed its ability to pay, or may have a “domino” effect on other contracts involving other groups of its employees (i.e. other public sector unions) with the total financial impact being substantially higher than anything contemplated in a single set of negotiations.

For a union like the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, binding arbitration would mean it would have to buy into the notion that its wage proposals (always substantially higher than any other public sector union) would likely have to be scaled back considerably to be treated seriously by an arbitrator.

Of course, prior to 1987, binding arbitration was actually used to settle teachers’ pay (and few other issues). That was the year the Social Credit government of the day gave the BCTF the right to strike, which led to full collective bargaining.

But if binding arbitration was to be used today, it presumably would include many more cost items, not the least of which would be the thorny and expensive issues of class size and class composition. The fact both parties likely fear that an arbitrator could rule against their self-interest on these issues is another big reason for the lack of enthusiasm for that model.

And frankly, I’m not sure binding arbitration could adequately deal with the class size/composition situation.

That’s because it’s a very complex issue, and it’s as much about a philosophical split between the employer and the union as it is about funding.

The BCTF wants fixed rules in place that govern how many special needs students can be in a particular classroom, while the employer argues the system

Dear Editor:

Having made innumerable submissions to various regulatory boards in the United States and Canada over 30 years, having been on a regulatory board staff that approved both routing of pipelines and siting of major industrial projects and having made more than 50 appearances before regulatory boards as an expert witness on energy matters, I may be in a unique position to opine that the Fraser Surrey Docks coal terminal will likely be approved.

I am so convinced that approval is inevitable that after 25 years living at Quayside across from Fraser Surrey Docks, I relocated to Coquitlam.

ease) problems. Add in rail noise, increased traffic congestion, and the potential for increased flooding of the Fraser River was a receipt for this investor/ economist to divest New West.

I do, however, have some encouraging thoughts as there are two recent events that may provide a juxtaposition for leverage to convince Port Metro Vancouver federal appointees to reject Fraser Surrey Docks’s coal terminal.

First is U.S. President Barack Obama’s recent conversion to coal aversion in recognition of the impacts of burning coal and resulting CO2 emissions on global warming. Wouldn’t it be wise for Stephen Harper to instruct his Port Metro Vancouver appointees to block the U.S. coal train alternative to ensure that a shunting of that same U.S. coal through Canada, to be turned into CO2 in China, is derailed?

Second is Obama’s long-delayed decision on granting the U.S. presidential permit required for building the Keystone XL Pipeline. (N.B. As former president of a small pipeline company, I have personally applied for and received a presidential permit for a cross-border pipeline.)

If the U.S. president blocks the issuance of the Keystone XL Pipeline permit to export Canadian crude oil, based on environmental grounds, then it puts Stephen

Harper in the position of a quid pro quo rejection of U.S. coal exports.

It doesn’t help that New Westminster has no politicians of the “right” political stripe to press these issues at either federal or provincial levels.

At hearings of the Metro Vancouver board on the Fraser Surrey Docks coal terminal project, climate change experts projected that 38 per cent of New Westminster will be underwater if the juggernaut of rising ocean levels remains unchecked.

Teachers: Arbitration isn’t the answer ◗ continued from page 6

needs flexibility to deal with what can be very complex situations (the employer also argues fixed ratios are actually discriminatory against special needs kids).

The union’s position inevitably translates into more classrooms being created, and therefore more teachers being hired (this fits with the BCTF’s constant struggle for control of the classroom). The employer’s position would presumably not create the same number of classrooms.

Each side exaggerates the merits of its own position, and the dire consequences of the other’s.

There’s no question the issues involved are vital, but I wonder if most people even know what is meant by “special needs” when it comes to diagnosing children.

Do people know there are actually 12 “categories” of special needs?

They include: physically dependent, deaf or blind,

moderate to profound intellectual disability, physical disability and chronic health impairment, visual impairment, hard of hearing, autism, severe mental illness, mild intellectual disability, moderate mental illness, learning disability and gifted.

The definitions of what constitutes each category are shaped by diagnostic findings of the American Psychology Association, and those diagnostic tools are used to diagnose students when their parents or their teacher(s) think it’s necessary to do so.

And some of the definitions can change. Take autism, for example. In 2000, about 1,300 kids were diagnosed with autism, and this past year the number was 6,750.

Experts say this phenomenal growth is because much more information has become known about autism, and the diagnostic tools are vastly different now than they were back in 2000.

I’m providing this kind

of detail because I think it shows the complexity of the situation may be beyond the skill set of a traditional labor arbitrator.

Best to leave the decisions surrounding this issue in the hands of those actually running the system – which means teachers and administrators.

The BCTF has made a compelling argument that more funding is needed to address class composition situations, while the employer has made an equally good case about the need for flexibility in the system. Hopefully the two sides can still achieve some middle ground in the current dispute.

To accomplish that, they will have to engage in real collective bargaining. The traditional model hasn’t served teachers well for a number of reasons, but binding arbitration may prove to be no better, at least when it comes to class size and composition issues.

School district makes it harder to suspend students

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster school board passed a series of sweeping policy changes recently, including one that makes it harder to suspend students.

The changes mean the district is actually doing what it has claimed to be doing for years, trustee Casey Cook said when the policies were passed at the board’s May 28 meeting.

“I really support and appreciate the work being done – I think the common theme here is that we aren’t just talking about putting the ‘child in the centre’ but actually doing it,” Cook said during the vote on student suspensions.

Along with the suspension issue, the board passed a motion to set out guidelines for developing district policies, in general, to provide consistency. Two other motions – one on the delivery of special education and a policy around charging student fees and deposits – were also implemented.

In regards to the suspension motion, board vice-chair Michael Ewen questioned whether there should be a clear delineation in the policy on what would warrant

a five-day suspension.

Under the new policy, suspensions in excess of five days will not be considered for students identified with special needs or for students in Kindergarten through Grade 7. Suspensions in excess of five days may be considered for students in Grade 8 through 12, though homework and learning materials must be arranged for the student during their time away from school, according to the policy.

Speaking to Ewen’s concern, superintendent John Gaiptman said the district should avoid being too rigid in defining what would garner the hefty suspension.

“The one thing we don’t want to do is have automatics (and say) ‘I’m sorry, it’s policy, and we have to send you away,’” Gaiptman said.

The main focus of the new suspension policy is to ensure kids are kept in school, the superintendent said.

Another change under the new suspension policy is that the district parent advisory council will no longer have a representative on the review committee.

Trustee Lisa Graham praised the suspension policy, saying it “allows for common sense, context, clarity.”

A special Lancers’ dance

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The Royal Lancers’ tradition of dancing at the May Day banquet dates back more than 100 years.

While the chair of the Royal Lancers normally dances with the May Queen, this year David MacGrotty asked Lancer Bud Sage if he’d like to dance with his granddaughter at the banquet. Sage is a longtime member of the Royal Lancers, a group of men who dance with the May Queen suite.

“To me it’s exceptionally special. That happens so rarely,” MacGrotty said. “To me it’s a fabulous thing. We honour the family, we honour the May Queen.”

The fate of the Royal Lancers’ role at the May Day banquet was uncertain, after city council approved a recommendation by Coun. Chuck Puchmayr to enter into discussions about modernizing the Royal Lancers’ dance at the annual dinner. Changes introduced at this year’s May Day banquet included eliminating the waltz between the Lancers and the girls in the May Queen Suite, and having the Royal Knights – rather than the Royal Lancers – march in and march out with the girls

According to MacGrotty, the Royal Lancers and coordinators of the Royal Knights and the May Queen suite were pleased to introduce the changes to the city.

Historically, the four square dances between the Royal Lancers and girls in the May Queen suite is the aspect that has a long tradition, MacGrotty said.

In past years, the Royal Knights sat on the floor while the girls danced with the Royal Lancers, but this year they were on stage during the four square dances and they held signs supporting their respective schools.

While New Westminster has crowned a May Queen for the past 144 years, boys were only introduced as Royal Knights in the 1990s.

“They were sort of relegated to being at the May Day draw and having a fairly insignificant role at the event,” Puchmayr said. “The idea of modernizing was to make it more child-centric and bringing the boys more into a role with that event.”

MacGrotty, a member of the May Day committee for about 20 years, said the 144year-old tradition has always been about the children.

Frothy fundraiser helps the kids Brewery, pub join forces to raise money for Children’s Hospital

For event tickets, scan with Layar

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

They have more than just a love of craft beer in common.

Frankie G’s Pub owner Calvin Basran and Jorden Foss of Steel & Oak Brewing have both watched young family members fight leukemia with the help of B.C. Children’s Hospital.

Now they are saying thanks to the hospital and its staff with a craft beer fundraiser, called Casks 4 A Cause, being held on June 14 in the parking lot at Frankie G’s.

A year ago Basran’s daughter, who was two-and-a-half at the time, was diagnosed with the illness after he and his wife noticed bruises.

“She wasn’t acting herself, and she was a little bit down. We took her into get some blood work done, and that’s when we found out. But working with Children’s Hospital was absolutely amazing over the course of the last year,” says Basran, whose daughter is on the mend.

“She’s still going through a little bit of chemo right now.

She is in the maintenance phase.

Technically, she is in remission – it’s still a really long, long process.”

For Foss, it was his second cousin who was diagnosed with leukemia about seven years ago, when the boy was just three years old.

“I remember it like it was yesterday,” Foss says. “I was at The Keg restaurant. … I’d just finished dinner, and my wife and I were supposed to go over and visit with his mom and dad the next day, and I got a phone call that he was in the hospital and what had been happening and that we weren’t going to be able, obviously, to meet up with them.”

Today, that boy is healthy, happy and active on a swim team.

Frothy fundraiser: Frankie G’s Pub owner Calvin Basran, right, and Jorden Foss of Steel & Oak Brewing have both had young family members deal with leukemia with the help of B.C. Children’s Hospital. Basran has organized a craft beer event called Casks 4 A Cause on June 14, from 1 to 6 p.m., to give back to the hospital for helping his three-year-old daughter.

“I remember how important Children’s Hospital was to his mom and dad and how much they really relied on it to get them through everything,” Foss says.

Basran is organizing the event at his Queensborough pub as a way to give back to the hospital that has done so much to help his daughter and thousands of other children throughout the province.

“Children’s Hospital, the way that they work with the patients and their family is just amazing – especially when everyone is

The muchanticipated New Westminster- the first opportunities for people

to try our beer.”

Along with Steel & Oak, there will be multiple craft breweries taking part in the fundraiser, which includes live music, draws, a souvenir six-ounce glass and three tasting tickets for $25.

“A lot of what these craft brewers did is they made a small batch of beer specifically for the event, and we’re going to have a big craft beer tasting,” says Basran, who expects upwards of 250 people to attend the fundraiser.

ew Westminster Secondary School student David Yi is causing a stir in his chemistry studies.

The high schooler recently returned from the National Chemistry Olympiad Finals in Toronto. He was invited to Hogtown after writing his Chemistry 13 exam, where he placed third out of 2,455 students across the country.

“While I was preparing for my biology presentation on Monday, May 12, I decided to open my email. Lo and behold, I was invited to the National Chemistry Olympiad Finals!” wrote Yi in an update on his experience.

“I remember last month I was thinking that I really had no chance to get in the nationals, and I still have a hard time believing that my score on the Canadian Chemistry Contest was one of the top 10 in Canada. I was hyped up

Douglas College recently awarded its highest distinction, honorary fellowship, to Dr. Julio Montaner, a renowned researcher and pioneer in the fight against HIV and AIDS. “I am very thankful and honoured to receive this special distinction from Douglas College. This fellowship is a testament to the work my colleagues and I have carried out over the last three decades to stop HIV and AIDS,” Montaner, director of the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, said in a media release.

Montaner is also a professor of medicine at UBC and has held the St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation/ University of British Columbia endowed chair in AIDS research since 1996.

Montaner has been an advocate for improving the efficacy and accessibility of HIV treatment and care. In the mid-1990s, his innova-

tive research led to the development of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), a triple-drug therapy which lowers HIV levels in the bloodstream and improves the immune system. HAART is now the gold standard of HIV treatment, the release says.

Over the past decade, a main focus of his work has been the development and implementation of an approach known as Treatment as Prevention, according to the release.

This approach calls for early engagement of HIVpositive individuals into treatment to reduce the virus to undetectable levels in the body, making it very difficult to transmit and improving health outcomes drastically.

“We are proud to recognize Dr. Montaner with our institution’s highest distinction, honorary fellowship. As an internationally recognized leader in the fight against HIV and AIDS, his research and advocacy have changed and saved countless lives.

He is a remarkable inspiration to not only our college community but also to an entire generation of people,” Douglas College president Scott McAlpine said in the release.

Wildlife art on display at library READERS’ CHOICE THE RECORD’S

THE LIVELY CITY

I

JULIE MACLELLAN

t’s all about the art of wildlife at the New Westminster Public Library this month.

Two different art shows are underway at the library in June – both featuring wildlife.

On the ramp gallery, Tamara Sale is presenting an exhibition of wildlife photos entitled The Merganza Sisters and More.

A press release notes that all the photos are local, taken Tamara’s preferred locations at Piper Spit on Burnaby Lake, and at Fraser Foreshore Park.

“The variety of local species provides plenty of opportunity to capture a broad range of subjects,” she says.

In the reference department, Colleen Harrington is showing Ravens with Roses. The focus is on watercolour birds, inspired by the ravens of London – where ravens are treated like royalty in the Tower of London because legend has it that when there are no ravens in the tower, the monarchy will fall. They’re accompanied by threedimensional roses.

The art can be seen at any time during library hours – just pop in to 716 Sixth Ave., or call 604-5274660 or see www.nwpl.ca for more information.

Dance your way to a still mind

Are you ready to dance?

Everyone is invited to check out the new Ecstatic Dance New West, described as a “non-facilitated, conscious freestyle dance event” that’s held weekly at Ammara Dance Studio, downtown.

It runs Saturday mornings from 10 to 11 a.m.

There’s no instruction and no choreography involved, and adults of all ages, all abilities and all experience levels are welcome to take part.

“Come sweat, let go of the past week, and move (and groove) into your weekend,” organizers invite in an email.

Music starts with medi-

tative pieces, followed by faster, more rhythmic pieces to get you moving, peaking with highenergy music to give you a chance to let go, and then gradually coming back to meditative stillness.

The music lasts about an hour.

It costs $15. You can register through eventbrite.ca or pay cash at the door.

The next event is set for Saturday, June 14.

There’s also a special all-ages, family event on Saturday, June 21, where children can join in for $5 apiece (provided they’re accompanied by an adult).

For information, check out homecomingdancer@ gmail.com.

Art moves to Ravine Park AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

Now you see it, now you don’t.

Ab oVo The Fertile Nest, a piece of public art that was unveiled in Hyack Square in June 2009, recently moved as the city makes way for the Wait for Me, Daddy installation. Sculptor Carlos Basanta worked on the piece in partnership with the New Westminster Qayqayt First Nation.

Rob McCullough, the city’s manager of cultural services, said Ab oVo can now be found at the foot of Glenbrook Ravine Park. He said a lot of thought went into finding an appropriate location for Ab oVo, as there once was a First Nations village at the foot of Glenbrook Ravine, where it let out to the Fraser River.

“Placing that art piece within proximity of that original village seemed to be a nice sentiment that could relate to that aspect of our heritage,” McCullough said. “It tied in both esthetic and location for the selection of this piece.”

McCullough believes Ab oVo will be more noticeable in its new location at Glenbrook Ravine Park, where it will be framed by a backdrop of greenery.

“You really didn’t notice that piece. It was lost because the background was somewhat of more industrial backdrop with bricks and metal and stone and those sorts of things. …

In the ravine park it’s quite noticeable and is framed quite nicely by the trees in that area.”

McCullough worked closely with the city’s horticultural manager to select a new location for Ab oVo.

31 RS! A YE

“If you go over the bridge past the amenities building, you will be seeing it,” said McCullough. “The trails all merge together at a point before they head further up the ravine. It’s right at the point where they meet up. It’s kind of a meadowed area.”

The city will be unveiling the new Wait for Me, Daddy installation in Hyack Square on Oct. 4.

Province newspaper photographer Claude P. Dettloff took the famous Wait for Me, Daddy photo

on Oct. 1, 1940, as soldiers marched down Eighth Street toward Columbia Street. Five-year-old Warren “Whitey” Bernard broke free from his mother to reach out to his father who was marching by. The city commissioned artists Veronica and Edwin Dam de Nogales to create the public art installation that will immortalize the iconic photo.

Crossing the Fraser OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

C

rossing the Fraser River was a major challenge when New Westminster was founded.

Trails headed up the Fraser Valley to places like Fort Langley, Semiahmoo, Boundary Bay, or to the river’s mouth itself. These trails started at the banks of the river across from the new city.

Many decades later, people used canoes, rowboats and an occasional paddlewheel steamboat to cross the river, and began the innovation of a ferry system. Although not warmly received by some, the two ferries, the K de K and the Surrey, proved to be valuable assets.

Greater transportation demands led to the first local bridge crossing, today’s rail bridge, which opened in 1904 to tremendous acclaim. It brought the ability to cross the river all the time. Remember that this first bridge was double-decked with rail on

the bottom and a road deck on the top.

As the decades rolled along and transportation needs grew, the general physical logistics of the old span meant that another change was needed.

There was discussion about altering the 1904 bridge to meet demands and also considerable debate about where a possible new crossing should go. Eventually a new bridge was built – the Pattullo.

The booklet produced to mark the opening of the Pattullo Bridge in 1937 contains some very interesting comments, especially when read with an understanding of the current discussions regarding this same bridge.

The 1937 booklet notes: “Many pioneers of B.C. will remember the ferry K de K which fifty years ago crossed the Fraser River every two hours during daylight, with a capacity of two teams and wagons.

Some may even remember the inaugural trip on Monday, March 17, 1884, and the arguments for and against the service. At the time many charged that this was an extravagant experiment doomed to failure.”

After explaining that

Steveston “DOCKS IN BURNABY”

the ferries were successful, the booklet notes that more was soon needed: “In those days a farmer living more than twenty miles from New Westminster often required three days to complete a return trip to market … traffic developed until farmers demanded less delay in getting to town and the need for a bridge became imperative.”

This led to the 1904 structure which “has given thirty-three years of increasingly strenuous service to the public. But the demands of modern highway traffic ultimately exceeded the capacity of the structure,” which had further led to the new 1937 modern crossing.

The Pattullo Bridge is described in one paragraph: “Glistening in all its silvered beauty of line, spanning the mighty Fraser in a curving sweep of concrete and steel … another and magnificent link is forged in the famed Trans-Canada and Pacific Highways.”

For a photo history of the story of Crossing the Fraser, come to the New Westminster Historical Society presentation, Wednesday, June 18, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the New Westminster Public Library auditorium.

FAMILY TIES

JULIE MACLELLAN

H

appy almost-summer! The weather’s been remarkably cooperative lately, so I hope everyone has had a chance to get out there and enjoy the season in our fair city.

With summer looming, now seems like a good chance to remind families about some of the many fun activities available for us all in the city.

Before I start with some new items, a reminder to stop by the petting farm at Queen’s Park. Remember, it’s open again for the season, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily until Sept. 1 – your kids (and you) can enjoy visiting with goats, pigs, chickens, rabbits and more.

And, without further ado, here are a few more tidbits for summer fun in the city:

Summer reading club returns

Ready or not, school’s almost out – and that means your three- to 12year-old readers can have a great time taking part in the library’s popular summer reading club.

Registration for this year’s club is ongoing at both the main branch (716 Sixth Ave., uptown) and the Queensborough branch.

A special kickoff

Spray parks up and running

The spray parks are back!

Yes, outdoor fun means getting wet, and the city’s spray parks are back in operation. Check out the free drop-in fun at Queen’s, Hume, Moody, Ryall and Sapperton parks, ongoing from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

The city’s playground leaders are also back on duty on good-weather days – near the spray parks or wading pools in Queen’s, Moody, Hume, Ryall and Grimston parks.

They lead a variety of fun-filled summer crafts, games and activities for kids.

Playground leader hours vary – check out the city’s Active Living Guide at www.newwestpcr.ca for the full details.

Try your hand at outdoor piano

Here’s another fun idea for families – the outdoor piano in the park.

Queensborough Community Centre invites everyone to play the handpainted piano in Ryall Park.

“Tap into your inner Mozart with this unstructured, free-spirited and fun opportunity to sing, dance or simply play!” a writeup says.

It’s free – just drop by

Concerts, dances for all ages

Also on the outdoor entertainment front, don’t forget that the city is jampacked with outdoor performances and fun at the Queen’s Park Bandshell, Ryall Park and Hyack Square.

This year’s performance series kicks off Sunday, June 15 at the Queen’s Park bandshell, with the Royal City Concert Band celebrating its 80th

anniversary with a 2 p.m. concert.

The Ryall Park series starts July 2, with a 1 p.m. performance by David Cassel, and the Hyack Square Friday night dances start July 4 with a night of zumba.

Shadows and Dreams Theatre is also bringing Shakespeare back to Queen’s Park this summer with Love’s Labour’s Lost.

For the full concert and events listings, check out the city’s Active Living Guide (page 77) – you can pick it up at community centres and city facilities or you can see it online at www.newwestpcr.ca.

Outdoor movies

Another one to add to your future calendar – outdoor movies are back!

Yes, Queen’s Park Stadium will once again be the site of a summer outdoor movie series, presented by Derrick Thornhill of Park Georgia Realty, G&F Financial and the City of New Westminster.

It all kicks off on Friday, July 11 with the new Disney hit Frozen.

Other summer titles include a raft of family-friendly options both old and new, including Despicable Me 2, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Muppets

Truthful experience by people: ! I am calm now in stressful situations!

In the past 10 years I had a very short fuse, because my job is quite unpredictable. After I started Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 the difference was amazing. My reactions to stressful situations are totally changed. I also have more energy, too. I don’t yell at others. I have more patience and I am much happier as well. Thank you. Mary-Anne Thompson, 61, Lasalle, ON ! I suffered #66 NPN 80041855 greatly from anxiety.

Standard treatments did not make me feel good. So my mother bought Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 and it has been helping me a lot. I am on my 3rd bottle. Remington Fletcher, 19, Ponty Pool, ON ! I have a very high stress career in the film industry. There was no time for relaxation or meditation as you are on demand for 12-15 hours a day with no breaks. Since using Bell #66I am able to focus on the tasks at hand with more patience. Thank you for your help!

Christina Ollson, 36, Burnaby, BC !It’s exactly one year since we began using Bell Calming Chronix Stress #66 for our two sons. Our local health food store recommended it. Both of our sons suffer from anxiety disorders. Our older son (14) was going through puberty and had become quite unmanageable, because he is much larger than I am. We are delighted with the immediate results.

Our older son became his former sweet self and our younger son’s (12) anxiety is dramatically reduced. Thank you so much. Donna Van Veen, 48, Grand Prairie, AB

Using manufacturer’s fluids isn’t just a ploy RAY & TOM MAGLIOZZI

CLICK & CLACK

Dear Tom and Ray: The owner’s manual for my 2010 Honda CR-V with all-wheel drive states only Honda fluids may be used in the car, except for motor oil.

The dealer’s service department confirms this.

FINANCING

The rear differential gear oil, automatic-transmission fluid, power-steering fluid, brake fluid, engine coolant, etc., have to come from Honda, they say.

Dire and catastrophic results are promised otherwise.

I think “hellfire and brimstone” is in there somewhere, too. Is there a chance that Honda is over-dramatizing this as a way to provide extra revenue to the dealer?

Honda, and other carmakers, use different alloys of aluminum in their components — mostly to make their vehicles lighter and more fuel-efficient.

RAY: And they say that their own fluids are designed to minimize corrosion in those specific kinds of aluminum over time.

own fluids? Sure.

RAY: But they also may be absolutely right about their fluids minimizing corrosion on their own cars. And it’s in their longterm interest to not have key components of their cars corrode and fail as they get older.

TOM: Keep in mind that just because you want to use Honda fluids, you don’t have to go to the Honda dealer for service.

You can ask your independent shop to use Honda fluids, and it’ll get the stuff

RAY: We have an independent shop, and – with the exception of motor oil – we actually use nothing but Honda fluids on all late-model Hondas. The difference in cost is pretty minimal. And we figure, why risk a part that costs thousands of dollars to replace in order to save a few bucks on fluid?

’Rocks get the better of Salmonbellies

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

If the New Westminster Salmonbellies’ game on Thursday had been a boxing match, they would have likely won on the judge’s scorecards.

The senior A ‘Bellies outscored the Victoria Shamrocks in both the first and last periods but lost on the scoresheet 9-7 at Queen’s Park Arena.

The Salmonbellies caught the ‘Rocks early, scoring on their first three shots of the game on Victoria keeper Matt Flindell, including the first two of three by Martin Cummings.

Jordan McBride also had a hat trick for the home team, giving New West a 4-3 lead late in the first period on a nice goal in close off a nifty setup by Eric Lewthwaite. McBride led all scorers with a gamehigh six points.

But the second period proved the Salmonbellies’ undoing, giving up five straight goals before Colton Clark got one back on the power play with about a minute left in the period.

Alexis Buque got his first home start in goal and made 35 saves in the loss.

Buque was also victimized on two short-handed counters in the middle-period letdown.

“There were a lot of weird calls … a lot of weird bounces, and they weren’t going our way, and

we didn’t get the shots we wanted,” said McBride.

To their credit, New Westminster hung in and played some of its best lacrosse in the final period, scoring goals by Cummings and McBride to shave the deficit to a single digit early in the final frame.

But Hass managed to get a second one by Buque and give Victoria a two-goal bulge before both teams played out the remaining 15 minutes without another To view goal being scored.

Despite its 2a video, 2 league record, scan with New Westminster Layar has outscored the opposition in the third period in every game so far.

“Yeah, it’s definitely a good stat for us to have. It’s hard work and shows our level of fitness a little bit,” added McBride. “We have a lot of young bucks who are just figuring it out. I think we’ll be a good team down the stretch. I know this team is a good team, we’re right in the mix.”

The loss left New West in fifth place just two points behind Burnaby, Maple Ridge and Langley, which share second spot.

Victoria currently leads the loop with an unbeaten 4-01 record.

New West takes on Maple Ridge this Thursday at Queen’s Park Arena.

High times: New Westminster’s Anthony Malcom, seen in white versus Victoria, posted season-high numbers in the junior A Salmonbellies’ one-sided wins over Port Coquitlam and Nanaimo last weekend.

Jr. A juggernaut beginning to roll

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Salmonbellies dog-piled the oppositition in B.C. Junior Lacrosse League game action last week.

The junior A Salmonbellies silenced the Port Coquitlam Saints crowd early, building up a 5-0 lead in the opening period before cruising to a 19-5 decision at the PoCo rec centre on Friday.

New West then ferried over to the Hub City and gave the Nanaimo Timbermen a 22-2 paddling.

New West runners scored early and often in the middle frame in PoCo, firing nine goals past the two Saints keepers who took turns taking their licks in the one-sided contest.

The ‘Bellies pelted the opposition

for more than 70 shots on goal for a second consecutive game.

In Nanaimo, New West posted its most one-sided game of the season, outscoring its host 13-1 after 40 minutes and then adding insult to injury with another nine goals in the final stanza.

New West rained another 63 shots on both T-Men keepers, scoring at a better than 33 per cent shot ratio.

New West has scored a total of 98 goals in its last six outings.

Anthony Malcom had his most productive game to date since returning to the lineup last week, garnering 10 points, including eight assists againt the Saints. He added eight more points against the TMen. Josh Byrne also gave notice that his five-goal spree in his first game

back this season was no fluke, tallying four more and adding as many assists in the win over PoCo. The second-year lefty collected five goals and a dozen more points in Nanaimo.

Connor Robinson increased his lead over Langley’s James Rahe in league scoring, with five points in PoCo and seven more, including four goals in Nanaimo.

Johnny Pearson tallied his teambest sixth hat trick of the campaign for the Salmonbellies, with backto-back hatties in the two contests.

Nathan Stewart also carded a hat trick in Nanaimo.

New West’s Connor Goodwin led the Saints with four goals.

New West took on the Saints again at Queen’s Park on Tuesday (after Record deadlines).

Winter club names new hockey director

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

What does Burnaby Winter Club’s new hockey director Maco Balkovec have in common with Scott Neidermayer, Sandis Ozolinsh and Alexei Zhitnik?

Answer: They are all defencemen taken in the 1991 National Hockey League draft.

Balkovec was a fifth-round draft pick of the Chicago Black Hawks back in ‘91 and was the highest junior A player selected out of the B.C. Hockey League

that year.

◗ FLAG FOOTBALL

Grid Hyacks win first-ever banner Royal City Hyacks were assured of a B.C. championship title this weekend at the spring flag football provincial finals in Kelowna.

The Royal City Black team took on its Team Orange counterparts in the under-14 championship, with the latter coming out ahead 46-18 in the goldmedal final.

Hyack Orange trailed for most of its semifinal against Cloverdale Cougars until a key first-down diving catch

by Matthew Slater sparked a 24-14 comeback win against the Surrey club.

Shaye Rathjen saved the victory for Team Orange, picking off a Cougar pass to stymie a go-ahead Colverdale score.

The Hyacks were a perfect 9-0 at the provincials, including six wins by the 29-point mercy rule.

Team Orange did not give up a point until its semifinal against Cloverdale, oustcoring the combined opposition 27632.

The Royal City Hyacks, including Matthew Glover, Jerrell Cummings, Henry Rankin, Farouq Ibrahim, Evan Nolli, Will Clarke, Cameron Mah, Daniel Sulentic, Malcom James, Rathjen and Slater, lost just two games this season, finishing first in their division with a record of 23-2.

The Hyack Orange team was coached by Burt Cummings, Randy Slater, Rick Raynesford and Mike Glover.

The provincial banner was the first championship of any kind won by the New Westminster Hyacks football program.

Cup final tied at 1-1

Bottom corner: New Westminster novice lacrosse player Noah Cecic goes for the corner against Port Coquitlam in a house division matchup at the annual Bellie Bowl tournament at Moody Park Arena last weekend.

Brendan Ranford could be tied up for at least another two weeks.

The New Westminster Salmonbellies draft pick is currently playing a key role with the Texas Stars in the American Hockey League Calder Cup final against the St. John’s Icecaps.

Ranford, who drew an assist in the Stars’ 63 opening win over the Icecaps, scored the lone goal – a team-high eighth in the playoffs – for Texas in Monday’s 2-1 loss to St. John’s in Game 2 of the best-of-seven championship final.

Ranford, a rookie, had 12 goals and 33 points in the regular season.
