Street eats hit the spot

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Thousands of foodies descended on downtown New Westminster on Aug. 23 for the second annual Columbia StrEAT Food Truck Fest.

Organized by Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Area, the event featured a mini farmers’ market, beer gardens, live music and more than 50 food trucks serving up an eclectic range of tasty treats including perogies, tacos and funnel cakes.

With food trucks lined up bumper to bumper along two sides of Columbia Street, diners enjoyed a meal at tables set down the centre of the street – or wherever they could find a spot to sit.

At last year’s inaugural event, many of the trucks sold out of food because of the massive crowds. Increasing the number of truck from 15 to 52 ensured no one had to go home hungry from this year’s event.

“Absolutely awesome #ColumbiaStrEAT food truck festival in @DowntownNewWest tonight! #newwest rules!!!,” tweeted one attendee.

Recognizing the popularity of gourmet food trucks across Metro Vancouver, the BIA wanted to create an event that could draw people from around the region and felt Columbia Street would be the perfect place for a festival.

Politicos will keep protesting coal facility

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster isn’t warming up to a coal facility planned for Fraser Surrey Docks.

Last week, Port Metro Vancouver announced it had approved a permit for a coal transfer project at Fraser Surrey Docks.

The coal would be mined in the United States, transported by rail to Fraser Surrey Docks, loaded onto barges, sent to Texada Island and then shipped to China.

“There don’t seem to be any American ports that are willing to take this coal,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr. “There have been

hazards identified along the rail route, particulates and micro-particles that are causing issues with people’s health.”

Puchmayr is concerned about the risks associated with building a coal terminal handling an “extremely volatile” type of coal 37 kilometres inland in the middle of Metro Vancouver.

“I fear a huge environmental catastrophe from that facility being really in arm’s reach of us being across the Fraser River,” he said Monday night. “We are the first impacted.

There is nothing between us and that dock.

There is open water. There is really nothing between us.”

Although Port Metro Vancouver has made its decision, Puchmayr doesn’t think

the city should give up the fight against the project.

“I certainly want us to communicate our displeasure with this decision,” he said. “I would like us to ask the board how they came to this decision. I would like disclosure of all the documents that they relied on to make this decision. I think we need to continue to keep this matter front and centre.”

Puchmayr said he was very disappointed by the decision and would like to know if it was made by Port Metro Vancouver’s board of directors or administration. (City staff were told it had been made at a staff level but will verify that information.)

“If that is the case, it certainly tarnishes

that decision even further,” he said. “I was worried about the authority Port Metro Vancouver has with respect to the yeas or nays on these types of projects. It gives them incredible jurisdiction over local governments, over First Nations, over the environment. I could not see a very clear way of us avoiding that decision. My comments from the onset were I thought this was a done deal because of the jurisdictional powers that they have been granted by the federal government.”

Coun. Bill Harper believes the blame for the decision falls squarely on the shoulders of the prime minister’s office. He said the ◗Coal Page 8

Residents sound off about proposal ‘Glaring’ lack of information and a rushed two-month deadline concerns many

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Fans of Queen’s Park Stadium have come out swinging against a proposal that would see the field used for pro soccer.

Unimpressed with the information provided at two recent community consultation sessions, 21 residents appeared before city council Monday night to voice concerns about the proposal citing a “glaring” lack of information and a lack of consultation about the proposal, a rushed two-month deadline to make a decision, and financial and community impacts they fear will result from converting the stadium to be used by a pro soccer team.

“I am totally against this proposal. Queen’s Park is probably the best soccer field in the Lower Mainland. It is probably the best baseball field in the Lower Mainland,” said resident Joe McQuade. “When you take that away you are not going to get it back.”

Several residents expressed concern about altering the stadium and the field to accommodate a pro soccer team, as there’s no guarantee it would be successful in the long-term.

Jim Hughes says it’s exciting to think of having pro soccer in New Westminster but it must be done properly. He is concerned about the lack of information being made available

at the community meetings.

“It was an information session with very little information,” he said.

If the city wants to offer pro sports in New Westminster, Hughes said the city should take the time and do it right and find the right location.

On July 8, Vancouver Whitecaps FC and the City of New Westminster held a press conference to announce they had signed a memorandum of understanding to work toward launching a United Soccer Leagues PRO franchise in New Westminster. The Whitecaps are

working to a Sept. 15 deadline from the USL to put in their application, a timeline that would allow the club to launch its first season in March 2015 at Queen’s Park Stadium.

“It is rushed, it is shoved down our throats,” said one resident. “It is not right.”

Sari Glavin said she’s greatly concerned at the haste that a decision is being made and the lack of discussion citizens are able to have about the proposal.

Ron Suffron, president of New West Baseball, said the transparency of the process raises a lot of concerns for residents.

“I’d like to know where the money is coming from,” he said. “I’d like to see a proper business plan from the Whitecaps.”

Colleen Ray said the proposal puts corporate interests ahead of community need and ignores the recommendations of the Queen’s Park master plan, which took 18 months of work and made no mention of pro soccer at the stadium. When there is a void of information being offered bout a proposal, Ray said people would fill that void with misinformation and suspicion.

“How much money is it going to cost?” questioned Paula Bates. “No one can answer.”

If the city spends money on the pro soccer proposal, Bates fears other projects such as replacement of Canada Games Pool will be delayed and kids will lose out.

“To me, that is not fair,” she said.

Several residents said the potential loss of Queen’s Park Stadium for baseball, outdoor movies and May Day would be a “huge loss”

18 arrested: New West police join in Burnaby action

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Eighteen people were arrested when New West police, Burnaby RCMP and the Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team executed a search warrant at a home on Sixth Street last week.

According to Burnaby RMCP, a home in the 7700 block of Sixth Street has been the source of many complaints. Neighbours told police they believed residents of the home were involved in criminal activity in the area.

On Aug. 14, officers executed a search warrant on the home. Eighteen people were arrested, all alleged to have been involved in “ongoing property and drugrelated crimes in Burnaby and neighbouring New Westminster,” stated a release from Burnaby RCMP. The search turned up a large cache of items, including 10 swords, nine knives, a switchblade (illegal in Canada), a stun gun, a crossbow, pepper spray, several pellet guns, ammunition, a collapsible baton, bayonets, low-grade body armour, an explosive device and a decommissioned .38-calibre handgun, according to

for the community. Residents also expressed concern that relocating baseball to another field would then impact users of those fields, such as softball teams.

Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks, culture and recreation, said sites in upper Hume Park and the field south of Queen’s Park Stadium are being reviewed as alternate sites for baseball.

Lisa Spitale, the city’s chief administrative officer, said one of the principles of

Of the 18 people arrested, 16 have since been released while two remain in custody at this time – one on an outstanding warrant and the other on numerous charges.

According to the release, overall police are recommending 23 counts of breaking a court undertaking, five counts of failing to comply with a weapon and/or firearms prohibition order, two counts of possession of a prohibited weapon and one count of unauthorized possession of an explosive device.

An inspection of the property was completed and the City of Burnaby identified several bylaw infractions and “is in the process of working with the property owner to comply with repairs”.

the Local Government Act is that local governments can not subsidize private businesses, and the city has informed the Whitecaps of that requirement.

Acting Mayor Jonathan Cote said the tight timeline for making a decision is a concern to the city.

“Council is keeping an open mind and is still working to get more information,” he told residents who spoke as delegations at the Aug. 25 council meeting, the first since the proposal was announced.

School year start ‘filled with angst and uncertainty’

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster school district is warning parents that schools might be behind picket lines on Sept. 2 – the scheduled start of the school year.

“This is usually an exciting time of year,” superintendent John Gaiptman wrote in a letter to parents Monday. “Instead, the beginning of the school year is filled with angst and uncertainty.”

Teachers around the province launched a fullscale strike on June 17 after three weeks of rotating strikes.

Little progress has been made over the summer, and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association haven’t met formally in face-to-face negotiations since Aug. 8 If the two parties don’t reach a settlement within a week, Gaiptman said he expects schools will be behind picket lines on Sept.

2.

If that happens, the school district is asking parents not to send their kids to school.

“While schools will remain open, we expect

that teachers and support staff will honour the picket lines,” Gaiptman said.

“Although principals and vice-principals will be in attendance at their respective schools, there will not be any regular supervision, instructional or lunch programs available.”

Gaiptman encouraged parents to check the school district website, sd40.bc.ca, for updates on school start up and the labour dispute.

Meanwhile, New WestminsterTeachers’union president Grant Osborne said teachers would be walking the picket lines at the high school and board office today and will look to expand to other schools later in the week.

“We are pulling people back because of the summer,” he said. “We are definitely putting this up here to draw attention to the yet-

to-be resolved issues.”

The hope is that hitting the picket line will increase pressure to get mediation, he said.

“Mediation, mediation, mediation … that’s the big call we are putting to everywhere and to everyone,” he said. “We need mediation to resolve this dispute and we need the government to enter into that mediation without pre-conditions and we need to do it quickly.”

Mediator Vince Ready is prepared to help the government and the union to hammer out a contract, but the two sides have yet to sit down with him.

OUR VIEW

The answer is simple, Port Metro benefits. And Port Metro gets to say who uses its land and how much they pay to use it.

Port Metro is technically responsible to the federal Minister of Transport in Canada. That would be Lisa Raitt, whose resume includes a stint as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Toronto Port Authority (TPA). She had previously served as the TPA’s general counsel and harbourmaster. So, if you’re thinking that an appeal to her environmental conscience will turn things around – don’t waste your time. Oh, and

in case you’re wondering if this is the same ministry that is in charge of monitoring rail safety – you’re right. The same ministry that was called out for a lack of safety inspections on the railroad operating in Lac Mégantic. So, why wouldn’t we trust it to make environmental decisions in the Lower Mainland? Seriously, is this a test of our gullibility?

There’s something terribly wrong with a country that calls itself a democracy, yet allows a corporation to ignore citizen’s concerns and democratically elected city councils.

B.C. ridings key in federal election IN THE HOUSE KEITH BALDREY

W

hile our provincial politicians slumber (with several notable exceptions) on the summer barbecue circuit, our federal party leaders have been busy in this province.

The past couple of weeks have seen Prime Minister Stephen Harper, NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Liberal party leader Justin Trudeau all visit B.C., an indication perhaps that all three see winning certain seats here as critical to forming government come the next election.

Of course, conventional wisdom is that southern Ontario and Quebec hold the keys to winning a federal election, but in a close race a number of B.C. ridings could spell the difference between forming a majority government and a minority one.

This province will have six additional ridings (giving us 42 in all) come the next election, which makes B.C. even more coveted by federal political parties.

Recent opinion polls suggest Trudeau and his federal Liberals are tops in popularity across the country, with the NDP running slightly ahead of the ruling

Conservatives. But, as everyone in this province is well aware, polls don’t have a spotless track record in predicting election outcomes.

And in this province, it would take a significant shift in voting patterns to deny the Conservatives a majority of B.C. seats in the 2015 election.

The party currently holds 21 of 36 seats, and the additional ridings coupled with the redrawing of electoral boundaries favors that party more than the others (in fact, transposing the votes from the last election over the new ridings would give the Conservatives 28 of 42 seats).

And most of the Conservative-held seats were won by large margins. Those transposed results show the party has support of more than 50 per cent of the voters in 17 ridings.

But if the polls are correct and the Conservatives are indeed losing support, the party could be vulnerable in four of the new ridings and perhaps a couple of others.

The party most likely to benefit from any Conservative slippage is the NDP, as it finished well ahead of the Liberals in the ridings that may become competitive in 2015.

This will explain why Mulcair may spend a disproportionate amount of time in this province in the run-up to the next campaign.

Dear Editor:

Re: Coal plan gets green light from Port, The Record, Aug. 22.

Unbelievable – Yes; unexpected – No. How can the decision by Port Metro Vancouver be unexpected when they obediently obey the dictates of Harper and company in Ottawa.

Unbelievable, in that we will now have up to eight-million tonnes of U.S. thermal coal annually passing through White Rock, Crescent Beach, Delta and Surrey.

It will then be loaded uncovered on barges moving through the Gulf Islands to Texada where it will be piled exposed to the elements awaiting shipment to China.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Voters paying attention ◗ continued from page 6

City of New Westminster’s track record of estimating, it will likely be closer to $20 million) to wreck what is perhaps the best community sports gem in the Lower Mainland is totally ludicrous.

This proposal flies in the face of the 2013 Queen’s Park Master Plan, which was adopted by city council last year. I hope that the city councillors, who are thinking about voting for this “white elephant,” remember that there is an election coming up in November and the direction that each councillor votes will be widely publicized Douglas Whicker, by email

Time to increase taxes Dear Editor:

On Gordon Campbell’s first day as premier in 2001 he announced a $2 billion cut in taxes. In the anti-tax climate of the past decade or so that seemed to jive with the general mood. However, perhaps, just perhaps, it is time to consider increasing taxes.

Not taking inflation into account the Liberals’ tax cut has taken more than $26 billion out of provincial services.

While low taxes may seem appealing, recently we have witnessed real examples of some impacts of those tax cuts.

The Ministry of Environment’s budget has been cut by 25 per cent. Mine inspections have decreased to such an extent that

disasters like that at the Mount Polley mine have occurred. Fraser Health was recently criticized for referring stroke victims away from overcrowded hospitals. Then there is the ongoing dispute between the government and the province’s public school teachers. It can hardly be argued that the $26 billion in tax cuts over the last 13 years have not had serious and negative impacts.

Given that Christy Clark was elected, in part, on a no-tax agenda one cannot expect the B.C. Liberals to propose a tax increase (despite the fact that they have regularly increased hidden taxes like hydro and medical services plan rates).

In light of the disaster at Mount Polley, the dire situation in our hospitals, and the ongoing government teachers dispute maybe, just maybe it is time to challenge the anti-tax mantra, so that the quality of life in our communities can be improved.

Following the Dix debacle in the last election, the NDP seems afraid of its shadow, so we have not seen any leadership from that side.

Perhaps two MLAs, the Green Party’s Andrew Weaver, and Independent Vicki Huntington, can play a positive and relevant role by introducing into the political dialogue some honest leadership and propose that taxes be raised to even half of the cut from way back in 2001, so our province and the quality of life that goes with its public services can be built rather than cut, cut, cut.

Kim Manning, by email

Mulcair: On firmer ground in B.C. ◗ continued from page 6

The federal NDP has some challenges in other provinces, notably Quebec, where it unexpectedly won most of the seats in the last election. One of its Quebec MPs has quit the caucus over Mulcair’s position on Israel, and polls suggest the Liberals have surged to even strength with the NDP in that province.

Mulcair’s problems over his Mideast policy threaten to expand beyond losing a Quebec MP. Many left-wing ideologues in his party strongly oppose Israel on any issue and back policies that favor Palestine.

In fact, the further left side of the party is uncomfortable with Mulcair’s push for more pragmatic and centrist policies designed to expand the party’s appeal.

They point to the party’s dismal results in recent

byelections in Ontario and the recent provincial election as proof that such an approach doesn’t work.

But for all his troubles in Quebec and Ontario, Mulcair would seem to be on firmer ground in B.C. and his party has a reasonable chance of building on the 12 seats it currently holds.

As for the federal Liberals, it will take a complete re-enactment of Trudeaumania for the party to find much success in this province. Justin Trudeau may visit this province many times in the next year or so, but his party’s dismal support among B.C. voters has got to be discouraging for him.

His party holds only two B.C. ridings, and those transposed results suggest the party is competitive in just three others.

Of course, Trudeau has

improved his party’s fortunes a great deal according to those national opinion polls, and it stole a seat from the NDP in Trinity-Spadina in a federal byelection in impressive fashion.

And Trudeau’s youth is no doubt appealing to many people, particularly younger ones. But as the B.C. NDP painfully learned in the last election campaign in this province, most young people don’t vote.

Nevertheless, Trudeau will be visiting B.C. quite a bit in the year ahead, as will Mulcair and Harper.

There are about 15 or so ridings that stand a chance of swinging from one party to another in 2015.

And winning those seats may determine whether one of those leaders forms a majority or minority government.

Coal: Proponent produces own report

majority of the Port Metro Vancouver’s board members are appointed by officials in Ottawa, and energy policies are politically driven by senior levels of government.

New Westminster will write to Port Metro Vancouver and Lower Mainland communities expressing concern about the decision and will seek to get the reports that were part of the decision-making process that led to approval of the project permit.

Having developed mitigation strategies to address environmental impact, air quality and human health risks associated with the project, Fraser Surrey Docks president and CEO Jeff Scott said the company would work toward opening the facility in the fall ◗ continued from page 1

“The human health risk assessment concludes that no unacceptable risks have been predicted for the various populations who could potentially be exposed in the study area – this includes residents, commercial workers, urban park users and people involved in fishing activities,” stated Port Metro Vancouver in an Aug. 21 letter to city council.

According to the letter, Port Metro Vancouver reviewed the human health risk assessment and a report about air quality conducted

by Golder Associates Ltd. and concluded that the project is “not likely to cause significantly adverse environmental effects” when the proposed mitigation measures are implemented.

Westcoast Seniors

Building connections N

ew Westminster’s Century House celebrated Pride week in style with an open house hosted by the organization’s gay-straight alliance.

The Aug. 13 event brought out a mix of familiar faces and new people, who mingled while nibbling on cake and cookies.

“It was good,” said Vance McFadyen, one of the group’s founders. “(We had) an introduction around the floor and just socializing. It went really well.”

The group has been going strong for the past two years at Century House, a seniors’ activity centre in Moody Park. The gay-straight alliance’s goal is to bridge understanding between straight folks and the lesbian-gay-bisexualtransgender community, particularly among seniors. “(There’s) still that oldfashioned (attitude) ‘That’s totally wrong, abhorrent, against nature,’” said McFadyen. “As they get educated (they) understand

this is not something that’s brand new in the world, it’s just been hidden in the world.”

The gay-straight alliance, or GSA for short, meets the second Wednesday of every month, and 12 to 20 people usually show up, McFadyen said.

They host presentations and guest speakers, screen documentaries and watch TED talks together.

“We’re trying to educate those gay people and straight people in all aspects of life, not just in the gay community, in helping seniors, especially those who have never been involved in the gay community, to just see we’re regular folks after all,” McFadyen said.

Century House’s peer seniors’ counsellors have become involved in the GSA to better understand gay issues, McFadyen added.

While the group helps connect people, there’s still work to do in addressing

homophobia and understanding the LGBT community.

“It’s just a real lack of understanding, something that’s basically ignored.

A lot 0f that has religious aspects to it. A lot of people have trouble just walking over the bridge … and understanding gay people,” McFadyen said.

One example of building connections, McFadyen recalled, was a husband and wife who came to a GSA meeting.

At first, the wife seemed more open to the group, while the husband seemed reticent.

“I noticed the wife was

Vance McFadyen cofounded the gay-straight alliance at Century House to build bridges between straight folks and the LGBT community.

more open to this than the husband was, but at the end of the meeting he became much more relaxed. He began to relax and see us just as people discussing things. He became more involved

in the group,” McFadyen said. “It’s something that takes a long time to build up, the support and the trust. Also I think it’s something that is going to be more and more successful.”

The gay straight alli-

ance is now an official activity group at Century House. The next meeting is Wednesday, Sept. 10, 1 to 2:30 p.m. at Century House, 620 Eighth St. Participants must be at least 50 years old to attend.

Curious Flea returns to River Market AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

T

he Curious Flea is returning to River Market this week-

end.

Billed as a “unique kind of flea market,” the Curious Flea Market encourages people to explore, discover and shop. Collectors, pickers, junkers, antiques experts and upcyclers are among the folks who will be showing their wares at the event taking place on Saturday, Aug. 30 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 31 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The event also features a Battle of the Curious, which invites people to bring in a “curious item” and try to win a prize.

River Market is located at 810 Quayside Dr.

Time to build

While you’re at River Market, be sure to drop by its two-day LEGO building spectacular.

Market staff invite the community to come together and build 18 tiles, which will form together into a postcard-style mosaic commemorating summer. This event coincides with the Curious Flea on Aug. 30 and 31.

To help curate the LEGO challenge, the team at River Market brought in Joseph Cassidy, a local steampunk and LEGO master who goes by the moniker “who” to help them make the ultimate LEGO postcard. Who has been building complex LEGO structures and art pieces for decades and is a confirmed AFOL (adult fan of LEGO).

To participate in the LEGO event, you can email manager@rivermarket.ca and put “I want to be part of the great summer LEGO build” in the subject line.

Bridge closed

Just a reminder if you’re venturing out of New West this weekend that you’ll want to avoid the Pattullo Bridge.

TransLink has been doing maintenance on the Pattullo Bridge this summer, with the third and final weekend closure set

for Aug. 29 to Sept. 1. The bridge will close at 9 p.m. on Friday and reopen at 3 a.m. on Monday.

Nun remembered

New Westminster native Sister Mary Michael recently died at the age of 98.

The Sisters of Providence announced that Sister Mary Florence Hagarty (Sister Mary Michael) passed away on July 27 at the age of 98 at Providence Centre Infirmary in Edmonton.

Born in New Westminster in 1915, Sister Mary Michael entered the Sisters of Providence in 1940 and served the people of western Canada as a nurse and hospital administrator.

Dr. John Blatherwick, a retired medical health officer, has fond memories of working with Sister Mary Michael at St. Mary’s Hospital in New Westminster.

“As the medical health officer for New Westminster from 1975 to 1984, I got to know her extremely well and the wonderful work that she did at the hospital,” he wrote in an email to The Record. “St. Mary’s Hospital had the lowest

“Sister Mary Michael showed up just before the game and said, ‘Come with me.’ We then went up to her apartment and watched the game together,” he wrote. “A very special woman and a great citizen of New Westminster.”

“There was a Stanley Cup hockey game on and I was looking for a place to watch the game.

infection rate of all the hospitals in the Lower Mainland and one of the lowest in all of Canada.”

Two stories relating to Sister Mary Michael stick out for Blatherwick.

“Simon Fraser Health Unit’s hospital liaison nurse always wore a necklace on Monday that said, “Oh S..t”. When she would see Sister Mary Michael, she would turn it over so that it wouldn’t be easy to read,” he said. “I askedSister Mary Michael if she ever noticed it. Her reply was, ‘I go looking for her every Monday just to see how fast she can flip it over!’”

Blatherwick was on the receiving end of some of Sister Mary Michael’s kindness. When he was

When Six Nations meets West

Golfer third at bantam B.C.s

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

When the Six Nations Arrows Express comes West, watch out.

The Ontario Lacrosse Association junior A lacrosse champions won their third-ever Minto Cup following a 14-8 victory over the Coquitlam Adanacs in Game 6 of the best-of-seven national junior lacrosse championship final in Langley on Saturday.

All three of Six Nation’s Canadian Lacrosse Association national titles have come in competitions held in British Columbia.

Six Nations won its first Minto Cup in a seven-game series over Coquitlam back in 1992.

The last time was in 2007, when the Arrows defeated the five-time Minto champion Burnaby Lakers 19-8 in a winnertake-all single game final at Queen’s Park Arena.

That surprisingly onesided matchup before a national television audience marked the final game the storied junior Lakers would play in the Minto after 12 consecutive seasons in the national championship tournament.

It was also the first time current Six Nations runner Brendan Bomberry, the Arrows’ star in Game 5 of the Minto, experienced a Minto Cup up close.

In 2007, Bomberry was a ball boy for the Six Nations’ national championship club. “(I remember) the leaders really pushed the guys to make it happen,” Bomberry said following this season’s Six Nations’ equally emphatic four-game turnaround

Lisa King/THE RECORD

Nose for the net: The Six Nations Arrows, in black, had a knack for scoring in bunches against Coquitlam at the 2014 Minto Cup junior A national lacrosse championships. after falling behind 2-0 to Coquitlam early in the series. “(This season) I remember that leadership is what drove us to get to this point and it definitely paid off.”

Bomberry, a five-year Arrows’ junior who finished seventh with 19 points in overall Minto Cup scoring, including three goals and two assists in last Thursday’s 12-7 win over the A’s, said the team never got down on itself despite dropping the opening two games of the Minto to the West Coast champs.

The Arrows responded

in Game 3 with a headspinning 19-5 win – outscoring the junior A’s 7-2 in the first period, 8-3 in the second and 4-0 in the final frame – that must have left shock waves in the Coquitlam dressing room for the remainder of the series.

In the following three games of the series, Six Nations served up at least one big, single-period score to wrestle away a third championship banner in the remaining games.

In Game 4, it came in a 5-1 middle period sparked by a hat trick by Six Nation’s goal-scoring

leader Josh Johnson, who topped Minto Cup scoring with 15 markers.

In Game 5, the Arrows broke a 7-7 tie wide open in the final frame with Bomberry’s hatty.

The end came for the Adanacs in Game 6 in the third period as well, as the Arrows fired eight goals past the Adanacs’ keepers, including the eventual game-winning goal by Haodais Marracle, his second of the series, midway through the frame.

“We always have an answer. We came out wanting to make a statement to the whole Canadian

Lacrosse Association.

That’s what he had to do and that’s what we did,” said Bombery.

Minto Cup MVP Johnny Powless led all scorers with eight goals and 21 assists.

Six Nations keeper Doug Jamieson recorded the Minto win in goal, playing all but 28 minutes of the series and posting a Minto Cup best .846 save percentage.

“If you want to win this, you can’t shut down for a minute,” said Bomberry, who will enter his freshman year at the University of Denver this fall.

Sumie Francois of Burnaby finished third at the B.C. bantam girls’ gold championships at the Meadowlands Golf Club in Chilliwack.

Francois, who was one shot back of the first-round leader Shirin Anjarwalla of Nanaimo heading into the second and final round, shot a final round threeover-par 73 to finish four shots behind eventual champion Euna Han of Coquitlam.

Francois fired a tworound, two-over-par total of 142 on 5,025-yard Meadowlands course on Friday, Aug. 22.

The Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club youth opened with five birdies in a one-under 69 in the first round. In the second round, Francois carded a bird and a eagle-three on the 394-yard 11th hole.

Jhunam Sidhu placed seventh on the novice girls’ leaderboard, garnering 55 points using the Stableford scoring system that awards points for net score over or under par.

Fellow Shaughnessy club golfer Andrew Spalti won his first bantam provincial title with a 36-hole 138. Spalti, who led the 45-player field after the opening round, shot backto-back one-under-par 69s to edge out a final-round charge by runner-up Khan Lee of Surrey.

Ice dancers win fifth international skate medal

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

ZhaoKai Pang and Madeline Edwards kicked off the international junior Grand Prix figure skating season with a secondplace medal at Courchevel in France.

Edwards, 18, and 19-year-old Pang of Burnaby won the silver medal in ice dance in the first stop on the International Skating Union junior GP circuit following a tight battle against two Russian teams.

Edwards and Pang led after the opening short dance with a

51.84 score, just six points shy of their personal best that was achieved in their bronze-medal performance at the World junior championships last season.

Their final score of 129.62 was less than three points back of eventual champion Alla Loboda and Pavel Drozd, who garnered 132.44 points to take the gold.

The other Russian pair of Anastasia Shpilevaya and Grigory Smirnov placed third at 121.42.

Ukraine’s Alexandra Nazarova and Maxim Nikitin finished fourth.

“Our big objective is to return to the world juniors and hopeful-

ly improve our result,” said Pang in a Skate Canada press release.

“This is exactly the kind of start we wanted to our international season. What stood out for me wasn’t any particular move, but the energy we displayed from start to finish.”

Last season, the former Canadian junior champions placed seventh in their senior national debut.

It was the pair’s fifth career Grand Prix medal.

“We were extremely happy with how we skated,” said Edwards in the release. “We were

really comfortable and relaxed which is a feeling we really wanted to improve over last season. … The talent here is very deep.

The result was something To view we were trying not to be a video, overly worried about at scan this point in the season. with We just wanted this new Layar program to show our maturity and personalities.”

Last year, the Megan Wing and Aaron Lowe-coached ice dance team won a silver medal in Mexico and a bronze in the Czech Republic.

Edwards and Pang prepped

for France with a first-place finish at the recent B.C./Yukon SummerSkate competition at Burnaby 8Rinks.

The two B.C. Centre of Excellance skaters will compete again next month in Aichi, Japan at the fourth stop on the junior GP circuit.

Brianna Delmaestro and Timothy Lum of Burnaby will compete later this week at the junior Grand Prix event in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The Burnaby team of Danielle Wu and Spencer Soo will tackle a junior GP event in Ostrava, Czech Republic from Sept. 3 to 7.
