MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERRuss Cooper now gets to enjoy watching the tugs he used to pilot on the Fraser River from his front row seat along the New Westminster Quay where he lives. Cooper was recently honoured with a Legacy award from the BC tugboat industry.

Show and Shine loses its lustreMario [email protected]

The New Westminster Show and Shine has lost its lustre.

The Hyack Festival Association, organizers of the July 12th event, announced its cancellation in a press release Thursday, citing “logistical difficulties in the timeframes required.”

The Hyack association took over organizing the event earlier this year after the Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association decided to focus its energy and resources on the Columbia StrEAT food truck festival that began in August, 2013.

During its 15-year run on Columbia Street, the Show and Shine annually attracted more than 100,000 spectators to ogle and admire more than 300 classic and souped-up cars and trucks as well as live entertainment and other activities.

Kendra Johnston, the executive director of the Downtown BIA which handed over the reigns of the Show and Shine to Hyack, said the cancelation is “disappointing.

“We know more than anyone how much work it takes to put it together.”

Johnston said her group had had several meetings with the Hyack organizers and staff from the event’s title sponsor, Key West Ford, but there was no indication the event was going off the rails.

“It’s unfortunate they’re not going ahead with it,” said Johnston.

Fraser River a constant companion for retired tug captainMario [email protected]

The Fraser River has been Russ Cooper’s constant companion his entire life. But he doesn’t let himself get sentimental or romantic about it.

The Fraser has provided a “great livelihood” for four generations of his family, plain and simple, said Cooper.

That pragmatism was recently recognized when the B.C. tugboat industry awarded Cooper a Legacy award at its annual conference in Victoria.

The Fraser courses through Cooper’s blood.

His grandfather Tom started Westminster Tug. His father Art worked aboard the tugs, guiding ships and barges up and down the river.

Cooper said he knew when he was six years-old he’d be joining them.

“I was fascinated with the tugs,” said Cooper. “I just knew I wanted to do that.”

At 14 he did, getting a job as a deckhand while he was still attending high school. After graduation he worked full time on the boats for various companies, including a stint running long haul boats up and down the coast. In 1965 he obtained his Masters Certificate and a year later he returned to the family firm.

The river was busier, more industrial then. Sawmills lined each bank. Barges heavy with aggregate from Mary Hill were guided downriver to Gilley Bros., where people now enjoy cappuccinos and Pad Thai at the River Market. Piloting the 1,000 HP tugs was hard work, dodging deadheads floating on the current.

One winter a fierce gale on Boxing Day ripped a number of ships and barges from

their moorings up and down the river. Cooper and his fellow tug operators were scrambled to corral them back to safety. But a runaway log transporter eluded them and Cooper could only watch as the 350-foot vessel smashed into the railway swing bridge beneath the Pattullo, tearing out a huge chunk of its superstructure and passing right over the wreckage as it continued up river.

Cooper eventually caught up to the transporter and managed to get it under control at Queen’s Reach.

“It was a pretty remarkable day,” said Cooper. “We just took it in stride.”

By 1976 Cooper spent more time in the office than on the bridge, becoming operations manager, then general manager and then a part owner of Westminster Tug.

Two years ago Bob Orava could stride up and down New Westminster’s hills. Now he needs a walker just to amble from the rose garden at Queen’s Park to the Arenex.

He’s thankful he can at least do that.

Orava, 72, has Parkinson’s.

What started as small tremors in his hands progressed to rob the former musician of his ability to play guitar, and to get around without support.

But a new walking program started by Parkinson Society BC has got Orava on the move again, enjoying the sunshine and new walking routes around the Royal City and beyond.

The 12-week program is run by Robyn Murrell of ZHOOSH Fitness Garage.

An avid advocate of the fitness benefits of boxing and kick boxing, Murrell has also seen the ravages those sports have inflicted on some of its best-known athletes, like Muhammad Ali.

The weekly walks are just the first step in her development of a comprehensive exercise program for people with Parkinson’s to help restore some of their mobility, and more importantly, build their confidence.

“You don’t want their muscles to atrophy,” said Murrell. “Their muscles just aren’t moving the same way and if they don’t keep

moving they’re going to be in a lot worse shape.”

That was Bob Turner’s fear. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s seven years ago, the disease progressed to the point he could no longer work and he left his job at Lee Valley Tools two years ago.

“It’s gone downhill since, because I wasn’t doing anything,” said Turner, 65.

Walking with the group hasn’t just helped his mobility, it’s also improved his outlook, he said.

“It makes a difference having people there with the same troubles,” said Turner, adding he’s now more optimistic about being able to do more activity in the future.

Indeed, the mental benefits of the walking

group are as valuable as the physical effort, said Murrell.

Everyone in the group wears a pedometer with a goal of achieving 10,000 steps a day by the end of the 12 weeks. Before and after every walk, participants compare each other’s step counts. During the stroll they move from group to group, chatting about the weather, catching up, comparing notes about new treatment regimes or tips to relieve symptoms.

“It makes you part of a community,” said Orava. “You learn all kinds of things about your disease. It’s nice to get first hand experience from other people.”

The weekly walks last for about two hours,

with varying lengths or options to cut the route shorter according to the capabilities and mood of the dozen or so regular participants. In addition to Queen’s Park, the group has walked along the New West waterfront, in Queensborough, the River District in East Vancouver. In case of inclement weather, Murrell has made arrangements for the group to walk in the Royal City Centre or upstairs at River Market.

“It gets them out to places many of them haven’t been before,” said Murrell.

More importantly, it gets them out, said Orava.

“I’m still alive,” he said. “I’m still able to do things. It’s nice to get out again.”

Walking group creates community for Parkinson’s patients

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERStep by Step Parkinson’s group walks through Queen’s Park as part of a 12-week program run by Robyn Murrell of ZHOOSH Fitness Garage to keep them active and fit.

A ring of thieves is thought to have preyed on patients in as many as six Lower Mainland hospitals, including Surrey Memorial and Royal Columbian.

One suspect was recently arrested and two others are under investigation after staff at Vancouver General Hospital spotted them June 2 and alerted security.

A description had previously been circulated after the trio were seen at other sites, including B.C. Cancer Agency facilities, wearing hospital scrubs and stolen ID to blend in with staff.

That tactic isn’t entirely unusual, according to John Acorn, director of operations for the Lower Mainland health authorities’ Integrated Protection Services.

“I’ve seen individuals trying to blend in,” he said. “What makes this one a little bit more unique is we were able to confirm multiple people working in concert.

“Rarely have we seen this kind of organized or targeted theft in our environment.”

Typically, Acorn said, thefts from hospital are relatively uncommon and, when they happen, tend to be crimes of opportunity involving small, easily concealed items, such as wallets, small electronics and jewelry.

He credited staff for spotting the intruders and reminded patients and visitors not to bring valuables to the hospital

and to report any suspicious behaviour.

The main suspect had 52 outstanding offences, including a Canada-wide warrant, while the other two are known to police.

NWPD seek help after serious assault

New West Police Department (NWPD) is hoping the public can assist them as they investigate a serious assault, which took place early Sunday morning.

On June 14 at approximately 2:20 a.m., the NWPD responded to a report of an unconscious male lying on the sidewalk in the area of Church Street and Columbia Street.

“The 28-year-old male, a resident of Surrey was first believed to have simply been intoxicated however, further investigation has revealed the male was likely the victim of an assault and is suffering from life threatening injuries,” said Sgt. Chad Johnston in a news release. “This investigation has been taken over by the NWPD Major Crime Unit and investigators are requesting the public’s assistance.”

If anyone was in the area of Church Street and Columbia Street in the early morning hours of Sunday, June 14 and believes they may have information about this occurrence, please contact Det. Gareth Blount at 604-525-5411.

Grade 12 students at New Westminster Secondary school (NWSS) want politicians to know that their vote does matter.

The students sent that message through an event at the school on Monday.

NWSS was one of eight Lower Mainland schools that hosted Day of Democracy events to get out the youth vote in the 2015 federal election. Having partnered with Elections Canada, the event helped Grade 12 students to register to vote, and encouraged them to go to the ballot boxes with climate change as a priority.

The NWSS Youth Initiative Club hosted Monday’s event at the school.

“The mission of the club is to make sure all youth have a say and youth have a voice,” said spokesperson Mahima Saini. “With federal elections sometimes youth don’t vote, they don’t care and government doesn’t focus on us because we don’t vote, so we want to show them that

our vote does count and that it is very important.”

Saini said the Grade 12 students at the school are actively involved in many social and awareness clubs and everyone is very supportive of a number of initiatives.

“Everyone is excited about being a part of this,” she said.

In the 2011 federal election only 39 per cent of eligible youth voted.

Almost two thirds of young people had no say in the Members of Parliament who represent them. Political analysts have said that if all these young people voted, the political landscape of Canada would be drastically different.

“My generation deserves to have a say in the decisions that will define our future,” said Kate Hodgson, a Grade 12 student at Kitsilano

secondary in Vancouver who, along with Grade 10 Prince of Wales secondary student Bryan Buraga, organized the Day of Democracy events in the Lower Mainland on behalf of the youth environmental group Kids for Climate Action. “I think the best way to accomplish that is to make sure the high school students who can vote, will vote in the upcoming election.”

New West students get their vote out

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERKuljit Grewal writes on a white board announcing a Day of Democracy at New Westminster secondary school as students take the opportunity to register to vote for the first time. Students organized the registration session in the school’s library as a way to get more young, first-time voters involved in the political process.

The event included a pancake breakfast, live entertainment on the Teamsters stage as well as performers roaming the street. All proceeds from the festival were donated to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation.Right, members of New Westminster city council, including Patrick Johnstone, Mayor Jonathan Coté and Mary Trentadue compete in the annual trike race.

MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY FUNDRAISER

The B.C. government has asked to take over an environmental review of a proposed liquefied natural gas export terminal in Delta that would bring LNG tankers into the lower Fraser River.

The National Energy Board has already granted WesPac Midstream LNG a licence to export 3.5 million tonnes of LNG a

year by tanker and barge that would be supplied by the adjacent Fortis Tilbury LNG facility.

Federal regulators with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency set a June 11 deadline for public comment on whether an assessment is warranted, and, if so, whether a provincial review should take the place of the federal

process.Climate change activist

Kevin Washbrook wants Ottawa to proceed with its own review and reject the provincial request.

“Given the B.C. government’s clear bias in favour of LNG exports, handing this over to the province would be like putting the foxes in charge of the hen house,” said Washbrook, who is also fighting coal exports.

CITY OF NEW WESTMINSTER

NOTICE OF DISPOSITION

Pursuant to secton 26 of the Community Charter, the City of New Westminster hereby

gives notce of its intenton to dispose of the property located at 327 Fenton Street and

legally described as PID: 001-206-656, Lot 15 District Lot 757 Group 1 New Westminster

District Plan 69092, shown on the drawing below to Ranjit Singh Shergill. As

consideraton for the transfer, the City will receive $430,000 from the purchaser.



It’s a sunny day for 143 employees of the City of New Westminster.

That’s how many of them earned more than $100,000 in salary and expenses in 2014, putting them on the city’s “sunshine list,” a popular term for government workers whose earnings reach six figures. That’s more than double the length of the sunshine list in 2010 and 56 more than made last year’s list.

The figures were contained

in the city’s annual financial statement presented to council on Monday.

But Mayor Jonathan Coté said the significant leap was brought on by retroactive pay for firefighters after they settled their contract with the city last year. That one-time payout put 48 of them into the $100,000 club.

“It definitely is an anomaly,” said Coté.

Fire chief Tim Armstrong was the city’s top earner in 2014, pulling in $245,247 including $8,645 in expenses. In 2013 he earned $179,638.

But again that was an exceptional circumstance, said Coté, as the chief claimed a payout of banked time he was owed from a number of years.

City manager Lisa Spitale was the only other city employee to crack the $200,000 barrier, earning $211,746 in salary and expenses.

According to provincial regulations, municipal governments and school districts must disclose salaries and expenses of all employees who earn more than $75,000. Last year 213 employees reached that threshold compared to 194 in 2013.

Compared to the bureaucrats, the city’s elected officials are paupers. Only the mayor’s job is considered full time.

Former mayor Wayne

Wright earned $89,999 plus another $7,026 in expenses until he was voted out of office in November.

His successor was the top earning councillor, earning $42,454, part of which would have been the pay he received from his new responsibility as mayor. Incumbent councillors Bill Harper, Chuck Puchmayr, Jaimie McEvoy and Lorrie Williams all received just over $39,000. Former councillor Betty McIntosh, who chose not to seek reelection, earned $36,279, while council newcomers Mary Trentadue and Patrick Johnstone received $2,794 for their new gigs.

City of New West’s top 10 earners:

1. Tim Armstrong, fire chief, $245,247

2. Lisa Spitale, city manager, $211,746

3. Gary Holowatiuk, financial manager, $177,930

4. Dean Gibson, parks director, $177,828

5. Roderick Carle, electrical utility GM, $177,341

6. Jim Lowrie, engineering manager, $173,382

7. David Price, fire captain $162,567

8. Joan Burgess, human resources dir, $162,141

9. Bev Grieve, planning director, $161,393

A pair of artists with a history of creating public pieces in cities like Richmond, Thunder Bay, Seattle and Winnipeg will soon be lending their talent to create a signature installation at the eastern gateway to New Westminster’s Downtown.

The city’s Public Art Advisory Committee has recommended Jacqueline Metz and Nancy Chew be commissioned to create their piece, Rorschach/Sentinel, as a “prominent visual marker into downtown and the City as a whole,” said a report presented to council on Monday. The art piece will be installed on the median at the east end of Columbia Street, near the SkyTrain bridge.

The 24-foot-high sculpture is comprised of a 16-foot silhouette based on

a profile of a merchant ship that would have docked at the city’s waterfront during The Second World War. It is mounted on 7.5-foot galvanized steel and concrete base. The ship silhouette is powder coated primer red.

The sculpture is “monumental and intricate,” said the report. “Its strong imagery is easily read against its surroundings and is reminiscent of the presence of the working waterway and the local heritage.”

The design was one of 24 proposals submitted after a public call for proposals last December. A technical review of the proposals by the city’s parks and engineering departments that considered things like upkeep and maintaining a clear line of sight down the street whittled those proposals down to 11

finalists.A seven-member

selection panel comprised of artists, Downtown residents, a member of the Public Art Advisory Committee and a former member of the New Westminster Community Development Society then adjudicated those 11 finalists for their appropriateness and artistic merit, feasibility, as well as the artists’ qualifications and proven ability to complete the project on time and of high quality.

Metz and Chew’s piece was praised for its “striking visual effect.”

The project is budgeted to cost $75,000, split almost evenly between a contribution from the New Westminster Community Development Society and the city’s public art reserve fund. It is expected to be unveiled on Sept. 12.

How do I get the most out of my practice time on the Driving Range?

1. Be methodical and Specific: —Focus your thoughts on what you intend to practice on. —Be specific setting your goals. —The quality of your practice is more important than how many ‘swings’ you make.

2. Warm up your body: loosen your muscles. Check out Burnaby Golf’s warm-up video!

3. Specify your practice goals. For example, break your hour practice into 15 minute intervals. —15 minutes: work on chip and pitch shots —15 minutes: work on alignment with a 3/4 swing using your 9 iron —15 minutes: work on distance control by switching to a long iron & using a full swing —15 minutes: work on accuracy by switching back to a specific club or shot for that practice session. You don’t need a full set of golf clubs when you visit the range. Bring a club you feel comfortable with and another you have trouble with. Two or three clubs at a time are all you need.

4. Be comfortable: Dress appropriately by wearing comfortable layered clothing. Remember to bring plenty of water and a light snack.

5. Have Fun: Practice with a friend. It’s more fun to create games by choosing targets and seeing who has the best aim.

We hope to see you working on your game at the Driving Range soon. Thanks for swinging by!

This Saturday, June 20 you can raise money for New West 2015 grads by simply test driving a car.

For every test drive of a Ford vehicle on site at the New Westminster secondary school upper parking lot on 8th Street from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Ford will donate $20 towards Dry Grad celebrations.

While you are there you can have your car washed for a donation and enjoy food truck offerings from Tasty Torpedo Sandwich Co and mini donuts.

Celebrate Father’s Day and bring him along to test drive a Ford Mustang. New drivers are welcome too and all of the proceeds from the day go toward the Dry Grad festivities planned for next week.

“With the help of our New West Ford dealership our fundraising committee is aiming to raise $2,000 on the day for Dry Grad simply by asking the community to test drive one of the Fords available,” said parent volunteer Andrew Barron. “We have tried to make it a fun event by adding the food trucks and car wash — hopefully people will support us and take some time out of their day to test drive a car.”

This year all 480 New Westminster graduates will be bussed directly to the Dry Grad celebrations after their grad ceremony. Parents have been fundraising all year for the celebrations and this is the last opportunity for the community to support their 2015 New West graduates.

PHOTO SUBMITTEDGraduating students Courtney Jacobsen and Max Gerhardt promote the Drive 4 UR School event this Saturday, June 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at New Westminster secondary school.

More love for that tiny two-door

‘‘The MX-5 is a car that can make you feel like a hero, or a champion without breaking too many road rules.’’Alexandra Straub

Los Angeles, Ca – The Law of Attraction suggests that we invite things into our lives that we project – or “like attracts like.” For instance, if we’re positive people, I believe positive people will then gravitate to us.Perhaps it’s because of a long-standing history, or love of the Mazda MX-5, née Miata, that our lives were once again inter-twined for yet another round of memory making.It’s hard to wipe the smile off my face when I have this two-door as a companion on a journey along the sinuous and slender roads of southern California.It sparked girlhood feelings of giddiness and excitement as I shifted through the gears of the new and lighter six-speed manual transmission; remembering the times when I rode shotgun with my mom in her red, 1990 Miata, when I would have rather been the captain.It brought so much mirth into my life then and continues to do so today. With the introduction of the 2016 model, expect that merriment to be increased for MX-5 lovers. Ten-fold. Perhaps more.One can look at the specs sheet, gripe

about its 155 horse-power and 148 lb-ft of torque from its 2.0 L four-cylinder, and argue that’s not nearly enough power. Through its renaissance, it loses 12 horsepower but gains eight 10 lb-ft of torque compared to the outgoing 2015 MX-5. Though I’d argue it can possibly convert even the blackest of hearts.Less is more certainly applies in this case. I will agree that 155 horse-

power isn’t a shocking number, and yes, it could have a little more gusto, but that doesn’t mean it’s devoid of flavour and flair. The beauty of the MX-5 is that it’s still a driver’s car. And Mazda made sure that specific elements trickled down from generation to generation. Sure, specs, engines, transmissions, compo-nents would change, but at its core, it would stay the same.That core involves the mantra of “from grandmas to Grand Prix drivers.”Meaning, you can be from any walk of life and still have a blast behind the wheel.

That’s solidified with the fourth generation.Without getting too technical, dimen-sionally, it has changed. It’s actually smaller – the overhangs in the front and rear don’t hang as much – yet space is used even more efficiently inside. The driver sits lower, and so does the engine.I’m not a particularly tall individual, but my driving partner, an above average height male, didn’t find himself as cramped as he thought he would be. Even when we put the top up, claustrophobia was nowhere to be found.And speaking of top up driving, cabin noise is reduced significantly. Thanks to an aluminum front panel and insulating headliner, wind noise is cut by 40 per wwcent. With the top down, engineers have used their wizardry – or in this case, scientific knowhow – to keep cabin wind at bay and to allow conver-sations to be carried on without having to yell. And without too much hair being blown around. Side note: ladies, bring a hair tie just in case.Perhaps MX-5 admirers should also bring their sunglasses, because this front-engine, rear-wheel drive car is hot. Hot meaning sexy. And sexy in regards to its styling.

The MX-5 fully embraces the Kodo or “Soul of Motion” design language that inspires clean and crisp lines on new and future Mazda products.You won’t find hard edges on this car, but you will find a flowing form that is highly attractive at a standstill. While the looks of a car are essential, it’s not what the MX-5 relies on for its cult-like following. It’s the drive. The MX-5 is a car that can make you feel like a hero, or a champion with-out breaking too many road rules.It’s a car whose steering, suspension and transmission work so seamless-ly together with the driver that it requires effort not to enjoy yourself.If the Laws of Attraction are yet again on my side, the 2016 Mazda MX-5 and I will cross paths again. Hopeful-ly sooner rather than later.The 2016 Mazda MX-5 (the GX trim) has a starting MSRP of $31,900. The GS has an MSRP of $35,300 and the GT of $39,200. All three trims can be outfitted with the six-speed manual or the six-speed automatic for the same price.

#throwback thursday

The dike around the Stanley St. pumping station in Queensborough is shored up after part of it collapsed into the Fraser River in June, 2003. The breach was first noticed by a passerby out for a walk along the dike on Father’s Day afternoon. By 5:30 p.m. trucks with fill material were on their way to the scene and by 9 p.m. a temporary dam to hold back the approaching high tide was completed. Pumps were also deployed in case heavy rain put additional stress on the temporary fix. “We realized we had a potential very serious situation on our hands,” said New Westminster’s director of engineering Pat Connolly.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILE

Every Thursday, users of the social media platform Twitter revisit the past by posting old photos and recollections recalling former triumphs or moments of infamy.

The weekly viral exchange is called #throwbackthursday, or #tbt by those looking to conserve a few of the 140 characters allowed in Twitter posts.

With an archive going back more than 25 years, the NewsLeader has plenty to throw back.

Every week we’ll feature one #throwbackthursday in the NewsLeader, but there are more available on the Twitter feed @newsleaderfotog.

The throwbacks aren’t always the big stories we all remember; they’ll also recall some of the smaller moments and characters that have helped shape our community and brought us to where we are today.

TEL: (604) 291-7261


But he still got his hands dirty when needed right up until his retirement 13 years ago.

He’s still close to the boats. His riverfront

condo along New West’s boardwalk affords him a front row seat to their ongoing activities, and the occasional glimpse of his son, Gordon, who’s also a tug pilot on the Fraser.

“It gives people something to see that’s more than just water flowing by,” said Cooper of the river’s allure. “It’s a connection. I’ve been around it all my life.”

Still close to his boats⫸ continued from PAGE A1

But Hyack association president Don Swindells holds out hope the cars will return to Columbia Street next summer. He vowed his group will “work closely with all stakeholders for 2016.”

Adam Isfeld, the general manager of Key West Ford, also expressed his desire to see the Show and Shine return.

“We want to maintain the quality and value this significant event has in New Westminster,” said Isfeld.

Life’s better here

Chart topping jazz pop singer and former New Westminster resident Tia Brazda will perform at this year’s Vancouver International Jazz Festival.

Her free show is this Sunday, June 21 at 12:30 p.m. on the Georgia Street Stage and will be accompanied by the Juno-nominated Cory Weeds Quartet.

Brazda is currently completing her highly anticipated second release Bandshell (available at HMV, Amazon and iTunes on July 24.) The album features 10 jazzy tunes infused with sounds

ranging from swingin’ jazz to sassy rockabilly.

Her first release, Cabin Fever, in 2012, was met with critical acclaim and peaked at number one on the iTunes Canada Jazz Chart.

Brazda has toured in Ontario, the U.K., France and the Netherlands and is currently embarking on her first U.S. tour beginning in New York on July 25.

Brazda, whose family resides in Sapperton, attended both elementary and high school in New Westminster before moving to Toronto in 2004 to further pursue her dreams of singing and writing.

Men — get over your ego, get over your embarrassment, and get the test.

That message may hit below the belt, but if it can save a few men from dying from prostate cancer, then Kirk McLean will keep on saying it.

“It’s a guy thing,” the former Vancouver Canucks goaltender says of men’s reluctance to get the prostate exam. “You don’t want anything tickled or played around with down there.”

The numbers have convinced him that the few seconds of awkwardness are worth it: one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer but, if it’s caught early, 90 per cent of them will survive.

“It really is ‘get over it,’” Bob Lenarduzzi tells men who let the momentary embarrassment prevent them from being screened for the disease. “You’re worried about how it’s perceived rather than having a long life.”

He’s got a powerful reason for speaking out: his father died of prostate cancer 19 years ago after a seven-year battle.

“I saw first-hand the devastation,” said the president of the Vancouver Whitecaps. “It’s down to the individual [to get tested.] If you want to tempt fate, you’re not giving yourself the best chance.”

The two Vancouver sports icons joined Vancouver Canadians broadcaster Rob Fai, former BC Attorney General Wally Oppal and BC Chamber of Commerce president John Winter at the local launch of Wear Plaid For Dad, a new nation-wide fundraising initiative for Prostate Cancer Canada, at Robson Square on June 5.

Why is it, asks Prostate Cancer Canada president Rocco Rossi, that men think they can beat the one-in-a-million odds of winning a lottery but don’t think they’ll be the one who becomes the one-in-eight statistic?

As Fai said, one-in-eight “is a statistic that in baseball gets you a release.”

Twenty years ago, 6,500 Canadian men died of the disease every year. Thanks to donations for research and treatments, that number is down to 4,000, Rossi says. That means that, “there are 2,500 dads, sons, husbands, coworkers who will be celebrating Father’s Day this year thanks to donors. That’s 2,500 men alive this year, next year and the year after.”

Wear Plaid For Dad is a workplace fundraising campaign that sees teams raise money by Father’s Day. Everyone celebrates — and helps spread the message about the need for screening — by wearing plaid on Friday, June 19. The vice-admiral of the Canadian navy, the premier of Nova Scotia and the mayor of Toronto have issued challenges to their counterparts to Wear Plaid For Dad. Lenarduzzi and Fai joined the chorus, calling on their teams’ fans

to get involved.Earlier this spring, the

Task Force on Preventative Health Care said there was no evidence that PSA screening — a blood test that raises red flags if there’s a spike in the indicators that something may be wrong — reduced mortality rates.

John Winter, the CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce, says that he wouldn’t be here today if it

wasn’t for the fact he was lucky enough to work for an employer who required that he be tested every year. As a result, after tracking his benchmark PSA numbers for 30 years, when a test revealed that they were high, he was able to catch the cancer early and undergo treatments right away.

Wally Oppal’s prostate cancer was detected after “that god-awful digital test that we all hate.” When a

biopsy revealed cancer, he had it treated and today, all of his PSA tests are fine. “That’s what can happen when you have early detection, but you can only have early detection if you take the time. I know how men hate that but I’m urging all of you to do it, if not for yourselves but for your families.”

Hospitals remain severely congested in Fraser Health and by some measures the problem has worsened despite repeated vows in recent years to improve conditions.

Three years ago this month, a 2012 congestion review warned hallway medicine was so rampant

in Fraser that staff were “resigned” that the jammed conditions would remain “intractable.”

At that time, just 51 per cent of patients admitted through emergency were getting a bed within 10 hours.

Fast forward to April 2015 and that measure has worsened to 35.1 per cent of patients getting

a bed within the 10-hour benchmark, down from around 40 per cent for most of the last year. It means two-thirds or more of patients now wait longer than 10 hours at hospitals such as Surrey Memorial, Abbotsford Regional and Ridge Meadows.

The target for timely access to a bed has actually been lowered over the years.

Today, Fraser is only aiming to get 55 per cent of patients into a bed within 10 hours. Back in 2011, the health ministry gave Fraser a goal of 67 per cent rising to 90 per cent by 2013, but — with the health region falling far short — the province eliminated those targets from subsequent health authority service plans.

Fraser is currently averaging 222 patients across its hospitals who’ve been admitted but not yet given a proper bed and are instead being treated in ERs, hallways, lounges or other non-acute care areas. That’s the highest level since 2011 and well above a target of 165 or less.

The health authority’s May report card shows

other measures of how long patients stay in hospital are also much worse than the region’s goals.

Fraser’s new strategic and operational plan, completed last year on orders of Health Minister Terry Lake, was supposed to find new ways to decongest hospitals.

Fraser Health president and CEO Michael Marchbank said he expects to see some improvement by fall but he is not banking on swift change.

“It’s going to take a lot of hard work and a lot of time to begin to move that needle,” he said in an interview.

Marchbank noted Fraser added $5 million this year for more staff to help move patients through the system more quickly or divert them from emergency to other options when appropriate.

He insisted acute care decongestion “is definitely a focus and a priority for us.”

Much of the region’s current strategy is aimed at areas outside of hospital: providing more community support, home support and increasing home nursing where required.

As more capacity in the community comes on stream, it’s hoped there will be fewer people in hospital occupying beds and clogging the flow of incoming patients.

“Somebody might get an extra hour or two a day of support in their home and it might prevent them from going to an emergency department or moving to higher levels of care,” Marchbank said. “I think that’s the area that will show some of the greatest return.”

A report released last week by the Integrated Care Advocacy Group argued government claims of shifting the emphasis to community care has so far been mainly talk rather than action, with the number of seniors receiving home support virtually unchanged in a dozen years, despite a doubling in the number of B.C. seniors.

Marchbank had no comment on the findings.

“What I’m concentrating on is really the future and moving forward,” he said. “We recognize in Fraser Health that we are going to have to invest more in the community sector.”

It’s a long way from New Westminster’s Queen’s Park to Camp Nou in Barcelona. For eight years Shawn Cody has been working to bridge that divide with a group of young female soccer players he first started coaching when they were playing U-10 house league.

That many of them are now graduating to play at post-secondary institutions across North America is testimony that his experiment to instil in his players the same values of commitment, dedication, confidence and teamwork that have made FC Barcelona one of the most revered soccer clubs in the world paid off.

As a young coach in the Royal City Youth Soccer system, Cody was dismayed that many of the organization’s best players moved on to other communities when their competitive desire outpaced the league’s emphasis on recreational play.

“We try to be accommodating to everyone, which often means you can’t be accommodating to the higher levels of players,” said Cody.

So he challenged his girls that if they were able to commit to one extra training session a week, they’d be able to build a team that could compete against other top teams. More importantly, they’d learn to be better players, better teammates.

Cody christened the team New West Barcelona, to emulate one of the best soccer development programs in the world that has consistently produced champion

players and teams.Juliet Davies liked the sound of that.Davies played soccer when she was

younger, then drifted off to try other sports as well as dance. When she decided to take another kick at the soccer ball, she was worried she wasn’t good enough.

Cody convinced her otherwise, made her believe in herself, said Davies.

“Shawn was really persistent in getting me to come out,” she recalled. “I loved the game and loved the girls.”

Eventually Davies became the team’s captain. In the fall she’ll be attending the

University of Regina.Cody’s belief he could get the best out

of each of his players came from his own experience as a high school basketball player with marginal abilities. His coach at Pitt Meadows secondary, former St. Thomas More grad Rich Goulet, made him, and his teammates, think otherwise and whipped them into championship contenders.

“It made a huge impression,” said Cody. “It gave you something you believe in, what we can accomplish.”

Cody formed partnerships with TSS soccer academy and then Trinity Western

University head coach Graham Roxburgh to expose his players to an even higher level of coaching and mentoring. Players and their parents from neighbouring communities like Burnaby, Richmond, Port Moody and Coquitlam took notice, sought to join Cody’s program.

Jessica Filipelli had knocked around various teams in the Burnaby youth soccer league and she was always told she wasn’t fast enough or she was too small to play at a high level. Then she heard about New West Barca.

Cody and the girls welcomed her into their fold.

“I was accepted like a family,” said Filipelli, who will be playing at Trinity Western in the fall. “You have a bond. It’s encouraging to have support.”

While some players have come and gone through the years, the core group has remained together, grown up together, lost and won championships together.

Cody hopes that will continue even as the girls scatter to colleges and universities across the country. He hopes they’ll continue to play together in the Premiere Women’s League when they return for summer break, and he can stand on the sidelines cheering them on as a fan.

That is when he’s not busy with the next incarnation of his Barca project, a team of U-13 girls from Burnaby. They had no choice for their team nickname, Cody said.

“It’s challenging,” he said. “You’ve got to be supportive and encouraging, but you also have to challenge them in a way that doesn’t break down their trust in you.”

Unique program builds champions on and off the soccer pitch

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERShawn Cody has coached many of the same group of girls on his New West Barca team since they were playing U-10 house league. Now most of the players, including Carly Cody, Jessica Filipelli and Juliet Davies, are graduating to play at various post-secondary institutions around Canada.

Bellies streak stands at six

The New Westminster Salmonbellies almost let their perfect record slip away Sunday against the Maple Ridge Burrards.

But the visiting Bellies withstood three unanswered goals by the home side to hang on for a 7-6 win.

It was New West’s sixth straight victory to start the Western

Lacrosse Association season, and increased their lead over the second-place Victoria Shamrocks to four points.

After the Burrards opened the scoring, the Salmonbellies roared ahead with four straight goals, two by Jordan McBride.

Ben McIntosh got Maple Ridge back to within two goals with 30 seconds left to play in the first frame.

But it didn’t take long for New West to restore their three-goal margin when Logan

Schuss scored on a power play 1:40 into the second period. McBride, with his hat trick goal, and Brendan Ranford added to the Salmonbellies’ lead despite the Burrards holding a huge advantage in play. They outshot the visitors 20-8 in the second period.

Tom Johnson was able to convert one of those shots with just under three minutes left in the second period to pull the Burrards four goals behind the Bellies heading into the third.

The Burrards onslaught on Bellies keeper Alexis Buque carried into the final frame. They fired another 15 shots at the former Whitby Warrior who led his team to a Minto Cup over the Junior Salmonbellies in 2013. And while three of them reached the twine behind Buque, Maple Ridge couldn’t score the equalizer.

Sunday’s win was the second straight one-goal victory for the Salmonbellies, who needed five goals in the third period to

squeeze past the Burnaby Lakers, 9-8, last Thursday at Queen’s Park Arena.

Again the Bellies were outshot, 49-35. But this time it was Eric Penney who provided the net minding heroics. Schuss had a five-point night and Luke Gillespie chipped in a pair of goals along with two assists.

The Salmonbellies will put their six-game win streak on the line Thursday when they host the Langley Thunder at Queen’s Park Arena.

Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase

of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for

our oil, everyone will benefit. Workers will gain from

the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more

revenue for their product. And Government will

collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend

on programs such as health care, education and

other services that benefit all British Columbians.

Plus, we can invest in new training programs and

create new jobs for our youth.

The Royal City Capitals Sr. B lacrosse team took on the first place and undefeated Ladner Pioneers Saturday evening at Queens Park Arena handing them their first loss of the season 10-8.

The Capitals were led offensively by Leif Mydske with four goals and four assists and Mark Negrin with three goals and two assists.

Defensively the Capitals had a strong game from goalkeeper Neil Tyake who made 41 saves on the night.

The win moves the Capitals into fourth place in the standings with a record of 5-5. The Capitals next home game is this Saturday, June 20 against the North Shore Indians at Queens Park Arena at 8 p.m.

Capitals edge Pioneers


Team Canada finished in fourth place just missing out on an Olympic berth at last week’s World League field hockey semifinals in Buenos Aires.

With New West forward Brenden Bissett and Burnaby forward Gabriel Ho-Garcia both putting in strong efforts throughout the event, Canada dropped a 6-0 decision in the third-place game on Sunday against the Netherlands.

Canada started pool play with a 3-2 win over Spain June 3 and followed that up with a 3-0 win over Austria on June 4.

Host Argentina edged the Canadians 2-1 on June 6 and Canada wrapped pool play with a 9-0 setback to Germany on June 9.

Canada pulled out a thrilling 8-7 shootout win over New Zealand on June 11 in the quarterfinal setting up the semifinal against Argentina, which Canada lost 3-0 on Saturday.

Canada’s strong play at the event bodes well for the squads’ chances for success at next month’s Pan American Games in Toronto.

And Canada can still qualify for the Summer Games in Rio next year.

In order for them to earn a berth, they will have to wait for a combination of results from other World League semifinal and continental qualifiers from around the world. Canada can also qualify for Rio in their own continental qualifier if they win the 2015 Pan Am Games.

Team Canada fourth at World League semifinals


MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERNew Westminster Salmonbellies forward Austin Ducommun tries to get around the check of Ridge Meadows Burrards defender Kaidin Sheehan-Davies in the first period of their Bantam lacrosse game, Saturday at Queen’s Park Arena.

BANTAM LACROSSE


The New Westminster Junior Salmonbellies and Coquitlam Junior Adanacs still have some scores to settle.

A donnybrook late in the third period of their BC Junior Lacrosse League game Tuesday at Queen’s Park Arena resulted in the ejection of seven players. It was the first time the rivals had met since the Adanacs defeated the Bellies in six games in last year’s league final. The Adanacs had the advantage on the score sheet again, winning the game 10-6.

The brawl, which erupted with just over five minutes left in the game, was

precipitated after Bellies forward Brandon Clelland stood in front of the door to the visitors’ bench, preventing the Adanacs from changing players. When he retreated to his own bench, Clelland tried to bring a rival with him.

That’s when frustration boiled over. At one point almost every player on the floor but Adanacs’ keeper Christian DelBianco was involved in the melee. Salmonbellies’ Jordan McKenzie left the bench to try to help an outmanned teammate. He was one of the players ejected.

The Salmonbellies opened the scoring just over a minute into the game, when Nathan

Stewart converted a pass from Mitch Stokes.

The Adanacs tied it two minutes later then went ahead on two straight goals by Evan Wortley.

Johnny Pearson got one of those back for the Bellies halfway through the period. But five minutes later the Adanacs were up by three, 5-2.

Carter Dickson got the home team back to within a pair just before the end of the first.

After the break, the Adanacs took control. They outshot the Salmonbellies 16-4 and outscored them 4-0 to take a 9-3 lead into the final frame. They extended that advantage by another goal when Challen

Rogers scored shorthanded as Clelland served a minor penalty for holding.

New West scored the next three goals, including two more by Pearson on power plays after the brawl, but it was too little too late.

Pearson added two assists to his hat trick to lead all Bellies scorers. Jeremy Bosher had three assists.

Michael Messenger led the Adanacs’ attack with a pair of goals and four points.

The Bellies will play the Port Coquitlam Saints at PoCo Arena on Friday, then host the Burnaby Lakers at Queen’s Park Arena next Tuesday.

The New Westminster Hyacks concluded its 10-day spring training camp with a solid effort at a jamboree in Bellingham last Thursday.

The Hyacks headed south to Civic Field taking on Blaine, Mt. Baker and Burlington. Each of the four squads put in 10 to 15 plays on both offence and defence with an emphasis on performance and not so much the final score.

Hyacks head coach

Farhan Lalji said he saw many encouraging performances.

On the offensive side, quarterback Jamie Shiho took control of the offense and had a strong day.

“Last year we had a certain amount of uncertainty from the quarterback position, but this year Jamie has really taken the bull by the horns and worked pretty hard at it,” said Lalji. “He is a really good athlete and will probably play receiver at the next level, but in

terms of what he did for us, he ran the ball real well and threw the ball with authority and on time and we need that, because no matter whether you are a running offence or a passing offence if you can’t throw the ball you won’t be successful.”

In limited plays, the running back duo of Jordan Guzman and Marcel Wang also impressed, especially during the spring camp leading up to the jamboree.

“We didn’t run it a ton

during the day because we were doing other things, but the two weeks of camp leading up to the jamboree were really encouraging,” said Lalji. “They both ran well. Our running backs kind of underachieved last year, so this year we are pretty confident with those two guys that we can get a bit more out of that position.”

Another bright spot was at the receiver position, particularly Michael Thind, who was injured most of camp, but caught five passes in Bellingham and looked fully recovered from his injuries.

Defensively, Lalji said linebackers Jeff Lugtu, Gurvir Ghuman and Wang all played well and this group will be counted upon to be the heart of the defence.

“With all four of our d-linemen graduating we have some holes to fill in that area, but Jeff and Marcel were the focal point of the spring camp and made a lot of tackles, so that’s certainly encouraging,” he said.

Overall Lalji said he was very happy with the 10-day camp and jamboree and is looking forward to summer training and stepping it up even higher.

“We got a lot done during that 10-day period. A lot of questions were answered. We’re still trying to build depth, but I think we are going to be a much more balanced team than we were a year ago,” he said. “We’ve had a couple of good seasons and now we want to have a great season. Last year in the summer our kids worked

harder than they ever have before and they responded. We are going to continue that this year and expect to raise it that much more, so I’m curious to see what the summer workouts look like.

“When the kids are on vacation that’s wonderful, but when they are in town, they are going to be expected to be in the gym.”

This Sunday, several members of the team are heading to Seattle for the University of Washington seven-on-seven tournament, then on June 30 the whole squad heads to Oregon for a three-day team camp.

Fall camp starts Aug. 24 with the season-opener Sept. 4 at Blaine High School.

Junior varsityThe Hyacks JV team

is also working hard in preparation for the new season.

“We are really excited about the JVs — they are very good,” said Lalji. “They dominated GM Graham two weeks ago. They open up against Bellview High School and are a powerhouse who have won something like 10 of the last 12 Washington State titles and we are going to play them at Blaine High School before the senior game.

“They are really gunning for that and should be a huge test for that group. They were 10-0 last year and then lost in the playoffs, and most of that junior team was Grade 9 and most of them are back, so both teams have pretty high expectations.”

Jamboree yields strong results for Hyacks

PHOTO SUBMITTEDThe New Westminster Hyacks put in a strong performance at a spring football jamboree in Bellingham on June 11.

significantly more difficult than a single transaction. Each owner needs to find a new home to go to, which Ng describes as the hardest part of the transaction.

“It definitely requires teamwork,” he advised. “You need an agent who is working for you – not the buyers. Some Realtors are over-promising and under-delivering in order to get your business. My advice is to work with someone who’s

Metro Vancouver is growing... we’re expecting an additional million people to move here

over the next 25 years. To prepare, the region’s municipalities are adding density. Neighbourhoods that have traditionally been zoned for single-family detached homes are being transformed into communities with condominiums and townhouses. It’s a trend that has visions of dollar signs dancing in some homeowners’ eyes.

Many neighbours are banding together to sell their properties as land assembled lots. While this is happening throughout the region, it is especially apparent along several major arteries in Vancouver including Cambie, Oak, Granville and 41st where the for-sale signs are lining up, row upon row. The assumption is that when owners sell together, they will receive a higher price for the assembled land than they would individually. But how realistic is it to think that the value of your home could double or even triple because of potential redevelopment?

Seeking Unsuspecting Buyers“The City has an overall plan that

will allow some single-family lots to be redeveloped as apartments,” says local architect and planner Michael Geller. “In some cases, developers tried to quietly assemble these sites themselves. Resi-dents thought they might get better deals if they worked together.

“Now we have a situation where lots are being assembled, but the city plan isn’t to rezone all of them. It’s startling to me to see rows of Realtor signs in locations I know the City has no plans to rezone now or in the immediate future. Realtors are hoping to find unsuspecting buyers who think it is logical for these places to be redeveloped.”

Further EastWhile Vancouver’s West Side is the

area where most land assembly real estate speculation is taking place, there are pockets in East Vancouver too. The Norquay Village community is an 18-unit townhouse complex that will replace torn-down detached homes. Further down Slocan Street, another four proper-ties have been assembled. Jackson Ng is the agent who helped put together the latter deal.

“The first four lots are zoned for an apartment building,” he said. “The buy-ers purchased the first house four or five years ago and held onto it as an invest-ment property. I listed the three homes next to it as part of a land assembly. The owners received offers substantially over their assessed value because they worked together.”

Tricky NegotiationsNg cautions that land assemblies do

not come together overnight. The num-ber of stakeholders makes negotiations

realistic about what you’ll be able to achieve.”

Not Just the SuburbsDensification is also happening at a

fast pace in the city’s downtown core. In the Hornby Slopes neighbourhood, Grosvenor Americas is taking a rezoning proposal to the city for parcels of land at Hornby and Pacific. The site includes the former Il Giardino restaurant and heritage Leslie House, which will be re-stored as a community amenity building. Michael Ward, senior vice-president and general manager, anticipates the rede-velopment will eventually see a residen-tial tower between 30 to 40 storeys plus a handful of townhouses.

“There’s a renewed sense of interest in Hornby Slopes,” said Ward. “[But] there are a lot of unknowns around construc-tion and marketing costs and there’s also uncertainty about density when you have to rezone a property. The profits are commensurate with the risks but prob-ably far less than people think.”

Regarding land assemblies, Ward notes they have been happening “forever” and warns that homeowners are taking the chance that the City will “upzone” the properties.

“Speculation is not a great way to run a development business,” he said. “Those can be dangerous games to play.”
