Music city:Live bands,beer gardens,food trucks,a kids’ zone,BMX display,contests andmore wereamong theattractions atUptown Liveon Sunday,Aug. 10. Thearea aroundSixth Avenueand Sixth Streetwas closed toaccommodatethe festivalthat attractedpeople fromall over MetroVancouver.At left: Eghosa,11, Shade,6, and EfeMoore, 8,hang out withMcDonaldsmascots.

They were dancing in the streetOrganizer Douglas Smith was already

thinking of the line-up for next year the dayafter Sunday’s Uptown Live.

Thousands flocked to the city’s uptowncore at Sixth Street and Sixth Avenue totake in the daylong musical offerings thatincluded the Texas-quartet Bright Light SocialHour, percussion-rich Five Alarm Funk andAmericana-inspired rockers The Matinée.

“I think we couldn’t be happier withthe evolution of this event,” Smith told TheRecord Monday. “I think the overall responsewas really, really positive.”

Uptown Live organizers plan to meetwith the city to “debrief” on the event, Smithsaid.

“We are anxious to enter into a longer-term agreement with the city to help in the

planning and sustaining (of) this event,” hesaid.

Smith looks forward to having more timeto plan for next year – rather than the fourshort months they had to pull off Sunday’sevent.

Smith is the force behind the Khatsahlanoand Surrey Fusion Festivals, which are mag-nets for their respective host areas. One of hisgoals is to create the same legacy for UptownLive – to help the city show off what it hasto offer.

“It seems like for the first time we arekind of in the consciousness of the LowerMainland, and that’s a huge,” he said.

But for Smith it all comes down to themusic.

“Uptown Live is staying true to its roots,and it’s all about the music … we are goingto stay true to our roots,” he said. “We wantto stay true to that, and the (Uptown) BIA is

on the same page in terms of what we feel weare trying to achieve.”

The date of Uptown Live – funded bythe City of New Westminster, the UptownBusiness Association and various corporatesponsors – was scheduled to run along withthe Hyack Festival parade (Smith is the for-mer executive director of Hyack), but thatdate provided too little time to organize themusic and street festival.

Changing the event date came with“risks,” Smith said, but it was a move theyhad to make.

“We made the transition to the summer,and we are happy we did, and the futurelooks really, really bright,” he said.

The introduction of beer gardens broughta new flavour to the event – something Smithsaid they felt was necessary for festivalgoers’overall experience.

Charges laid in alleged domestic assaultCharges have been laid

against a 32-year-old who alleg-edly attacked his girlfriend lastFriday.

As The Record previouslyreported, patrol officers werecalled to the intersection of

Churchill and Burnaby streets atabout 4:20 a.m. on Aug. 8. Whenpolice arrived, a woman told theofficers she had been assaulted byher boyfriend at a home in the 400block of Cumberland Street.

Several hours later, officers

arrested the suspect at the homeon Cumberland Street.

New West resident AndrewDuran is now facing severalcharges, including two counts ofassault, one count of unlawfulconfinement, one count of assault

with a weapon and one count ofuttering threats.

Duran remains in custodyat this time. He is scheduled toappear in court on Wednesday,Aug. 13.

“I don’t know if that’s true,”Osbornesaid.“Theteachers’resolveis really strong.”

Thetwosidesarecloseonthesal-ary and benefits, Osborne said.

“We are very close there - theyhavetobewillingtoaddressandpayattention to class size and composi-tion,” he said.

Finance Minister Mike de Jongannounced the $40 a day will bepaid using savings made from nothaving to pay teachers during thestrike.

B.C. teachers have been on a fullstrike and out of classrooms sinceJune 17.

Two mediators have declinedoffers to step in and resolve theongoing dispute, saying the twosides are too far apart for mediationto be effective.

◗ continued from page 3The other aspect Smith is proud of

is that it ran with the help of the ZeroWaste Initiative, which was sparkedby their relationship with Vancity.

Acting mayor Jonathan Cote, whotook in the festival with his seven-year-old daughter Renee, enjoyed the after-noon, munching on a dish from theHoly Perogy food truck and fresh-fruitpopsicles from Johnny’s Pops.

“I think the layout was interest-ing, and it was kind of interesting

to walk around Uptown without allof the cars and enjoy a street-festivalatmosphere with all of the bands,” hesaid. “I think the city really does needto do its bit to support these types ofevents.”

His daughter was thrilled aboutUptown Live because it was her firstrock ‘n’ roll show.

“So she played that up and was allexcited to go on the first rock concert,and I had her on the shoulders,” Cotelaughed.

Charges have beenlaid following the dis-covery of a stabbing vic-tim in a residence in the500 block of Ash Streeton Wednesday evening.

According to police,officers were called to ahome on Ash Street afterreceiving a report of anassault with a weaponat about 7 p.m. on Aug.6. When police arrived,they found a male victimsuffering from severe but

non-life threatening knifewounds. He was treatedon scene and taken tohospital by ambulance,the release stated.

Following their inves-tigation, police arrest-ed 38-year-old KevinFrancis Murphy of New

Westminster. Murphy ischarged with one countof aggravated assaultand two counts of utter-ing threats.

Murphy is scheduledto be in court on Aug.11.

Anyone with informa-

tion on the incident isasked to contact Const.Elizabeth Leaver.

You win some, you lose some. But let’shope for New Westminster’s sake therecent Bailey bridge loss doesn’t signal atrend.

The battle over replacing the Baileybridge with a two-lane crossingin the Braid industrial area isnow over. The arbitrator camedown on Coquitlam’s side andNew West has no choice butto get on with the rebuild and anticipateadditional traffic woes.

The arbitrator did not give a writtenreport, and we, like city politicos, are left

wondering what was the most persuasiveargument presented by Coquitlam.

Surely the arbitrator did not buyCoquitlam’s premise that the route wasnecessary for quick access to Royal

Columbian Hospital in case ofemergencies. Two lanes willnot eliminate the potential ofbeing stuck for up to 20 min-utes at the train tracks. What

may have lost the argument for NewWest is that there are simply few waysthat any city or municipality can justifyblocking the ever-increasing flood of

commuter traffic in the Lower Mainland.The “it will make life more difficult forour residents” argument just doesn’t cutit anymore.

Traffic, like water, will find a way.Whether it is through neighbourhoods orindustrial areas, it is hard to hold it back.The unfortunate fact of the Braid StreetBailey bridge battle is that the route is anatural collector for commercial trafficfrom the warehouses and small commer-cial enterprises that operate in that area.It’s always been a struggle for them tomanage the one-lane rickety bridge and

the railroad tracks. But they managed.Now with two lanes, commuters will seethe route as a viable alternative or short-cut and it will become just as congestedas the one-lane was – if not more con-gested.

The only bright spot in the newarrangement is the fact that there will bea pedestrian path and bike lane. Whilethe area isn’t exactly Stanley Park, thecreek is home to otters and waterfowl andperhaps someone will step up and adoptthe neglected waterway as an environ-mental project.

Collapse could beLiberal opportunity

The recent disaster of thecollapse of the MountPolley mine tailings pond

may force the B.C. Liberals tofinally revisit a key policy deci-sion made early on in its firstmandate: the cutting back ofenvironmental protection meas-ures.

Since 2001, environmentalcritics have denounced the gov-ernment for turning a blind eyeto environmental protection andhave long warned a disaster wasjust around the corner.

Well, that disaster has nowoccurred.

As of this writing, it is stillnot clear why the tailings pondfailed, and dumped 10 millioncubic metres of water and 4.5million cubic metres of mineslurry into Polley and QuesnelLakes.

Energy and Mines MinisterBill Bennett has denied thata lack of inspections playedany role in the pond collapse,and has insisted the number ofannual mine inspections is prettywell the same as five years ago.

He may well be provenright that inspections (or a lackof them) played no role in thetailings pond collapse but the

Mount Polley disaster has never-theless re-focused attention onthe B.C. Liberals’ controversialhistorical record when it comesto protecting the environment.

That controversy prettymuch started right after GordonCampbell and the B.C. Liberalswere swept into power in 2001.

At that time, the govern-ment proceeded to gut a num-ber of government programsand budgets, which includedreducing staff in areas it obvious-ly considered to be of low-prior-ity status, such as environmentalprotection.

It was obvious early on theB.C. Liberals did not share thesame zeal for environmentalissues that characterized much ofwhat the previous government,formed by the NDP, seemed tobe all about. The environmentministry lost a quarter of its staff.

Not only did the B.C.Liberals cut resources forenvironmental protection, itimplemented a fundamental andphilosophical shift when it cameto this issue. It essentially movedto a self-regulating and self-enforcement model for naturalresource companies.

Penalties were increasedfor violations of environmentalprotection rules and regulations,but companies were essentiallyallowed to police themselves.Critics predicted this wouldtranslate into more incidents thatcould threaten environmentalvalues.

Indeed, over the years, there

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Truck issue not black and whiteDear Editor:

Re: New West residents divided on truck ban, TheRecord, Aug. 1.

In the article by Theresa McManus, the followingwas written:

“Not everyone supports the city’s position,with Dave Lundy being among those who believeTransLink made the right decision. In a commentposted on The Record’s Facebook page, he expressedconcern that the city is ‘talking out of both sides oftheir mouth’ on the issue, as it’s allowed off-dock con-tainer yards to open in Queensborough but still voicesconcerns about increased truck traffic in the city.”

I constantly hear people complaining aboutthe amount of truck traffic going through NewWestminster and it being an election year, I see thatour politicians are once again using the trucks as

“whipping boys” for what ails New Westminster.I thought I would take some time to explain myposition and also to perhaps explain where thesetrucks are coming from and going to and why sometrucks use the Pattullo Bridge instead of the tolledPort Mann.

In fact, New Westminster city staff and councilhave allowed a huge expansion of warehousingand distribution centres in the Queensborough area.There are two “off dock container facilities” (oneon Boyd Street and one on Ewen Avenue) a mas-sive distribution centre behind the Loews store, theQueensborough Logistics Centre on Duncan (withanother distribution centre under construction onthe same site.)

I am an hourly paid company driver who haulscontainers throughout the Lower Mainland, includ-ing to the two “off dock facilities” and to the

Queensborough Logistics Centre as well asother facilities across the Lower Mainland.Along with others, we deliver containersfrom the four container docks in the LowerMainland, Vanterm, Centerm, Deltaportand Fraser Surrey Docks to places likeQueensborough Logistics, who thenunload the marine containers and loadrailway Intermodal containers (mainly 53-foot containers) with the goods. This iscalled “cross docking.” Something prior totrucking I also used to do.

The two railways, CP and CN, trucktheir empty intermodal containers eitherfrom their facilities in Pitt Meadows andthe North foot of 176th Street respect-ively, or from other rail customers whothey delivered to. Then they take theloaded containers back to the respectiverail terminals to be shipped across Canada.Between the rail containers and the marinecontainers, there is a lot of truck trafficgenerated by an operation such as the onein Queensborough.

I don’t know why or how come citystaff, council or the mayor wouldn’t haveknown this. It’s kind of like Field of Dreamsbuild a big distribution centre for majorCanadian retailers, and “they will come”by the truckload. Plus collect taxes andlicensing revenue from these businessesas well. So you have the city complaining

about all the trucks going through NewWest on the one hand, while on the othercollecting taxes and fees from businessesoperating in Queensborough, which arebringing those trucks into and out of NewWest. As a truck driver, as well as a citizenof New Westminster, this is aggravating tosay the least.

As for why trucks use the PattulloBridge, well shippers do not want to paythe toll for the Port Mann Bridge. Andthe driver and owner operator isn’t goingto pay for the toll out of their pocket onbehalf of either their employer or theshipper. And as for East Eighth Avenue,when I’m coming from Port Coquitlam inthe morning, I use the Pattullo when I’maccessing the South Fraser Perimeter Roadto head west. after 7 a.m. when its legalto use it. (From 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. both EastEighth and Royal avenues are restrictedto trucks, meaning they can’t use thoseroutes).

A lot of the time its faster to use EastEighth Avenue to access the Pattullo thanto sit in the traffic on Columbia Street wait-ing to use the on-ramp. It should be notedthat the congestion on the on-ramp is moreoften than not cars, not always trucks. Butas always, it all depends on traffic, not justtruck traffic.

I hope that this will help people under-stand where my “both sides of theirmouths” thinking is coming from.

have been a number oftailings pond failures andbreaches of dams, includ-ing the collapse of anearthen dam near Oliverin 2010 that destroyed fivehomes.

Premier Christy Clarkhas made it clear hergovernment’s core philo-sophical value is to “growthe economy,” particu-larly through the naturalresource extraction indus-try. In particular, it haschampioned the miningindustry and the naturalgas sector.

However, as practicessuch as fracking becomemore controversial andas various infrastructurearound the province (suchas dams, tailing ponds andpipelines, for example)gradually age, her govern-ment will undoubtedly feelmore pressure to ensuremore serious environment-al disasters do not occur.

While the B.C. Liberalsrightly feel their surprise

re-election in 2013 wasstrongly tied to its pro-industry platform and amuch weaker pro-industryplatform put forth by theNDP, they may risk losingsupport if there are anymore major accidents.

As Finance MinisterMike de Jong puts togethernext year’s budget, he mayponder whether it is polit-ically prudent to revisit theresources he has allocatedto two ministries givenshort shrift in his three-year fiscal plan.

The environment min-istry is scheduled for atiny ($6 million) lift to itscurrent annual budget of$134 million. That doesn’tsuggest any major increasefor environmental protec-tion measures, such asinspections and enforce-ment.

And the energy andmines ministry, which con-ducts those tailing pondsinspections, has its smallannual budget of $21 mil-lion frozen for the next

two years. Given infla-tion and other cost pres-sures, it’s hard to see howthat translates into moreinspections.

Clark has tried todistance herself fromher predecessor, GordonCampbell, in a numberof areas since taking overfrom him. She’s increasedthe minimum wage,scrapped the HST andfolded the Pacific CarbonTrust.

Perhaps she will use theMount Polley disaster asan opportunity to distanceherself from Campbelleven further, by imple-menting a more aggressiveapproach to environmentalprotection.

The government willunderstandably neverabandon its support fornatural resource industries,including mining. Butthere’s not much politicaldownside to painting itselfwith a greener brush.

A New Westminster Secondary gradhas brought to life a turbulent chapter ofVancouver history that will be featured inboth a TV documentary and a book thisweek.

Stevie Wilson, who graduated fromNWSS in 2006, is co-producer and writerof Catch the Westbound Train, an award-winning, short-form documentary that airson the Knowledge Network on Thursday.

The film delves into the history of TheGreat Depression in Vancouver and theflood of transient, unemployed men thatcame with it because Vancouver was theonly Canadian city “where you couldstarve to death before you froze to death.”

Wilson’s work on the same subject willalso be featured in Vancouver Confidential,a mid-twentieth century social history/anthology that focuses on the lives of com-mon folk in the port city.

Wilson’s chapter (and much of Catchthe Westbound Train) centres on the so-called “hobo jungles” that sprang up inVancouver in the 1930s to house the tran-sient men who poured into the city at thattime.

Wilson stumbled on the subject whilelooking for material for a Vancouver hist-ory column she writes for Scout Magazine,a popular food and culture website.

Serendipitously, a friend and documen-tary filmmaker, Sean Shaul, approached

The rest, as they say, ishistory

The 27-minute Catch theWestbound Trainhas been wellreceived, earningawards at both theWinnipeg Reel toReal Film Festivaland the CanadaInternationalFilmFestival.

A self-styled“historian mas-querading asa writer,” 26-year-old Wilsonsaid she firstdeveloped a passion forhistory at NWSS in Mr.James Robson’s historyclasses.

“The discussions heencouraged us to have,they were a little bit aboveand beyond, I think, whatthe normal curriculumwas,” Wilson said. “He justhad very high expectationsof us, and I think for a lot

of us that’s whatwe needed … Hewas obviouslyvery passionateabout history aswell, so that wasinspiring to us.”

At UBC,Wilson focusedheavily on theSecond WorldWar and theHolocaust aswell as historiog-raphy, the study

of history itself.While she still loves aca-

demic research and writ-ing, she admits Catch the

Westbound Train and herScout Magazine columnhave allowed her to explorea side of history and writ-ing that is “more instantlygratifying.”

“It’s a way to engagewith people that a lot ofacademics don’t necessar-ily get to do,” she said.

◗ IN THE GAMEMidget 5-game series in New West Aug. 18 and 19 at Queen’s ParkGame times are Aug. 18 at 6 p.m. and Aug. 19 at 5:30 p.m.

Bantams close; midgets win in a walkB.C.’s bantam boys’

representative lacrosseteam gave Ontario allit could handle at theCommissioners nationalchampionships.

Team B.C., includingNew West’s Cole Catton,Johnny Edin, captain JordyMahal and Finn Stark, ledfrom the opening goal butcould not quite hold onbefore surrendering a 5-4loss to Ontario late in thegame in the gold-medalfinal at Queen’s ParkArena on Saturday.

Carter McKenzie scoredthe game-winning goal forthe Ontario all-stars unas-sisted off a rebound ongoal at 12:18 of the thirdperiod.

Earlier in the period,Brett Handsor knotted thegame at 4-4 for the even-tual champs.

Edin was B.C.’s gamestar, stopping 31 shotsin the B.C. goal. BrettUnderwood faced just 18shots in the Ontario cage.

“I just did my best,”said Edin, who posted a.856 save percentage inthe championship tourna-ment coming into the finalgame. “It was amazing. Itwas one of the best thingsI’ve ever been to. I’d justdo it again in a heartbeat.”

Hearts were certainlyin the throats of the siz-able crowd that took in thegold-medal game.

Jake Cantlon of Deltaopened the scoring withhis first of two goals.Connor Wilson of Juande Fuca gave B.C. a 2-0lead on a nice passing playfrom Mahal and Stark.

Stark closed out theperiod with his seventh

goal and 11th point at thenationals.

Burnaby’s SajjunShokar set up Cantlon fora shorthanded breakawaygoal midway through thesecond frame to help giveB.C. a 4-2 advantage.

But Ontario kept up theattack, winning a lot ofthe loose-ball battles in thelater periods.

“We didn’t get enoughquality shots,” said B.C.head coach Rich Catton.

Earlier in the week,Ontario beat B.C. 5-3 in theround-robin. B.C. edgedAlberta 6-5 to advanceto the gold-medal match.

Edin stopped 20 shots ingoal to get the win.

The unbeaten B.C.midget boys were runawaywinners in theirage group, defeat-ing Alberta 14-2 towin the gold.

B.C. went a per-fect 7-0 and com-piled 105 goalsfor with just seven goalsagainst.

Burnaby’s MackenzieBurns recorded four goalsand two assists for B.C. inthe tournament.

B.C.’s midget goldmedal proved a warmupfor a five-game series

with Ontario that willbe played in conjunctionwith the upcoming MintoCup in Langley, beginning

Sunday, Aug. 17.“It gives us a lot

of time to work asa team,” said B.C.midget runnerTavin Grant, wholost the peewee

title to Ontario and a 6-4heartbreaker as a bantam.

“It’s just so much of arivalry for our age group.I just love it.”

Game 1 will be playedin Coquitlam on Sunday.Games 2 and 3 will be atQueen’s Park Arena.

Game 4 is in Coquitlamand 5 in Langley.

The B.C. peewee team,including Kai George ofNew West and Burnaby’sThomas Vela, was beaten8-2 by Ontario in the final.

B.C. got by Alberta 5-2to make it into the gold-medal game.

Vela had a big game inB.C.’s opening 18-1 winover Nova Scotia, scoringtwo goals and adding twoassists.

George had two goalsand two assists in B.C. winsover Nova Scotia, NewBrunswick, Saskatchewanand Alberta.

At the nats: B.C.’s bantam boys’ lacrosse team, in blue, lost a tight 5-4 final to Ontario in the gold-medal gameat the national championships at Queen’s Park Arena on Saturday.

Midgets win third straight title; bantams get second

B.C. girls won two of three nationallacrosse championship titles in Whitby,Ont.

The provincial bantam and midgetgirls both came away champions overhost Ontario, while the junior girls earneda bronze medal at the Ontario LacrosseFestival at Iroquois Park last week.

The midget girls, including tournamentall-star goalie Bianca Ballarin and NewWestminster teammates Katie Browning,Delaney Davidson, Chloe Nottingham,Keeley O’Neill and Nadine Stewart, andCarlene Spagnuolo of Burnaby, defeatedOntario 6-2 in the gold-medal final to earnB.C.’s third straight national age-grouptitle at this division.

The B.C. midget team went unbeaten atthe nationals, forging a 5-0-1 record in the

double round-robin, including a 2-2 drawwith Ontario on Aug. 7.

“It was really nice to see. We were try-ing a lot of different things in the roundrobin,” said B.C. midget head coach DanStroup.

“The team was unbelievable, theirdefence, transition and O (offence) wasbetter than any other team.”

Stewart topped the locals with sevengoals and nine points, while O’Neill hadfour goals and four assists in tournamentplay. Spagnuolo chipped in with six mark-ers.

The bantam girls, including New West’sHannah-Lise Bernoe, Caitlin Croxen,Graceyn Dean, Andreea Serbanescu andPriya Sidhu, had a tougher go of it, losingtheir opening game 3-1 to Alberta and oneof two earlier meetings with Ontario in thedouble preliminary rounds.

“We had heard rumours about Alberta

and how good they were; they showedup,” said B.C. bantam head coach ChrisGill.

B.C. bounced back from the Aug. 6loss to Alberta, edging the hosts 3-1. ButOntario came back in the return match,eking out a 4-3 win to set the stage for awinner-take-all final game.

B.C. turned the tables on Ontario, win-ning the gold medal 4-3 in a tight cham-pionship final that went down to the finalminutes.

Trailing 3-1 in the final seven minutes,Ontario capitalized on a pair of power-play goals to draw even with B.C.

Mykhaela Johnson of Ridge Meadowsscored the game-winner on a pick-and-rollto the net late in the game.

“It was pretty awesome,” said Gill. “Itwas tough for the bantams, many of themhadn’t been there before.

“It was a big thing for B.C. It was pretty

special.”Bernoe and Dean were the top New West

scorers with seven points, including fiveand four goals, respectively. Serbanescualso tallied four times in a six-point tour-nament contribution.

Alberta also had a strong bantam show-ing, finishing the tournament with a recordof 5-2, including a 5-4 win over Ontario inthe preliminary round, and the bronzemedal.

The junior girls team of Leah Purdeyof New West and Burnaby’s RaffaellaCaporale, Amanda Jackson, OrchidKamron, Monica Mastromonaco andAngela Preissl, won the bronze medal fol-lowing a 5-3 win over Nova Scotia. Ontariowon the gold 8-1 over Alberta.
