Play time: Royal City Farmers Market operations manager Melissa Maltais, accompanied by her nine-week-old son Logan, is intro-ducing a mini-farmers’ market feature to the market, where little ones can “sell and barter” with play fruits and vegetables. It’sjust one of the new additions to the summer season, which started yesterday at Tipperary Park.

Market is a growing eventRoyal City Farmers Market is ripe for

change as it enters its seventh summerseason.

The first summer market of the 2014season was yesterday from 3 to 7 p.m.in Tipperary Park. The family-friendlymarket includes gourmet prepared foods,entertainment, crafts from local artisans,and locally grown food and produce.

“I really want folks to come and meetthe farmers, meet the small scale pro-ducer,” said Melissa Maltais, the market’soperations manager. “I think that’s whatthe difference of shopping local at your

farmers’ market is, because the face ofthose products and those vegetables areright there. You look at farmers’ hands– they are caked with dirt, they haveworked hard. They were up at four inthe morning to pick those cucumbers andstrawberries.”

This year’s summer market will fea-ture 14 different farms, including somenewcomers.

“We have a few more organic farmscoming, which is very exciting for us,”Maltais said. “Farmers are something thatare not as easy to get as people wouldassume for farmers’ markets because thereare quite a few in the Lower Mainland. It’sa bit of a competition to see which markets

get the best farmers. I think we have donea very good job this year of getting somereally good farmers on board, as well asour returning farmers that we know andlove. It’s going to be a nice mix of newfaces and familiar faces.”

Earlier this year, the Royal City FarmersMarket surveyed its shoppers to see whatthey thought was missing from the mar-ket. More organics, variety and seatingwere among the requests.

“We have a few different vendors, afew different food trucks coming this year.We have got quite a few who cater to glu-ten-free and vegan diets. We are trying to

Studentswalk out

Students at New Westminster SecondarySchool joined their counterparts across theLower Mainland, walking out of schoolWednesday morning to show their frustra-tion with the ongoing labour strife betweenthe British Columbia Teachers’ Federationand the provincial government.

Approximately 35 students gathered atthe high school, near the corner of EighthStreet and Eighth Avenue, chanting, “Weare not your leverage.”

“We are out here in support of students,”said Freddie Young, a Grade 12 student whohas been accepted to UBC. “We feel boththe BCTF and the government are equallydetrimental to students.”

Young acknowledged there are problemsin the education system, but said they needto be resolved without impacting students’education.

“It’s not that I’m against the BCTF. Ithink both of them don’t look out for stu-dents,” Young told The Record during themorning protest.

A Surrey student initiated provincewidewalkouts through social media to protestthe labour dispute. Thousands of studentssigned on to participate in the walkout,but at NWSS the response was minimal.Considering the size of the school – about2,000 students – a small margin turned upto take part, though more were expected tojoin the rally after the school’s first block.

NWSS principal Phil Cookson said thosewho did miss school to attend the walkoutwould be marked absent from class thatday, but would receive no other discipline.

He applauded the students for becoming“politically aware,” but didn’t like that theywere missing school.

“I don’t think this is a good thing becausethey’ve missed so much school,” he said.

Cancer.It’s a scary word that

brings any number ofthings to mind – sickness, weak-ness, hair loss, struggle, survival,surgery, pain, suffering, fear, lossand death.

But for New Westminster resi-dent and Province sports reporterSteve Ewen, he chose to ignorethe chatter surrounding the dis-ease and take on his tumour withhumour.

Ewen’s battle with cancerbegan nearly four years ago when,what he thought was musclepain in his shoulder, radiated tohis chest. Thinking it was a heartattack, he and his wife took a tripto the emergency room at RoyalColumbian Hospital where thedoctor told them Ewen was not, infact, having a heart attack.

“I hadn’t been feeling well for awhile, I’d been feeling kind of list-less, but we didn’t put everythingtogether until he (the doctor)came back and he said, ‘I thinkyou might have a tumour,’” Ewenrecalled.

In October 2010, only a fewdays after Ewen’s first visit toRoyal Columbian, he was diag-nosed with solitary plasmacytoma– a type of cancer characterized bythe formation of a single tumourin the bone.

Ewen, whose tumour was inhis T2 vertebrae, was quicklyadmitted to Vancouver GeneralHospital and started on a 25-ses-sion radiation plan. The experi-ence was one he’ll never forget,but he said the most importantthing for him was to keep off theInternet.

“I think you can get lost on theInternet, and I mean things areadvancing so quickly, so rapidlythat things are improving every-day. You look at where cancerwas five years ago to where it isnow, you know the stories youhear and the things you hear. Ipurposely stayed away from it,”Ewen said.

Rather than spend his timescouring the Internet, Ewen andhis wife spent their time speakingto doctors and getting informa-tion from friends and family whohad gone through similar experi-ences with cancer. In fact, one ofthe first people he phoned afterhe received the diagnosis was afriend who had also been diag-nosed with cancer.

About two months after the

diagnosis, Ewen’s health took aturn for the worse. On Nov. 28, hisback collapsed due to the effectsof the radiation, which was target-ing the tumour in his spine. Theexperience was one Ewen stillstruggles to describe.

“It was frightening and embar-rassing and gruelling, and allthose things. I was in a chair forsix months,” he said.

During that time, Ewen hadeight surgeries, including twoback reconstructions, in order torebuild his spine. His spine is nowmostly made of titanium, with sixrods, 15 screws and several otherpieces of “shrapnel.”

Ewen spent three-and-a-halfmonths at Vancouver General andtwo-and-a-half months at the G.F.Strong Centre for rehabilitation.When he was finally able to gohome, it wasn’t without struggle.

An at-home physiotherapistwould come by each week to helpEwen learn to walk again.

“It was just a matter of gettinginto the pool and doing somewalking in the pool, and gettingout with her and doing somewalking,” he said. “To be on awalker was very frustrating andvery depressing.”

But Ewen persevered.He continued to walk every

day, and often his neighbourswould cheer him on as he passedby.

“I’d walk around the neigh-bourhood on the walker, and I’ddo a lap of the block and peoplewould be out supporting andcheering, and stuff like that,” hesaid.

He also started a blog called“Crush the tumour with humour”to dispel some of the rumours

about what it’s like to have canceras well as to share his experienceand story with friends and familywho continued to support him.

“We had neighbours whowere over raking our leaves, andneighbours were here doing allsorts of stuff. One of our neigh-bours had a key to the house andwould come over and clean outthe fridge because we couldn’t doit,” he said.

Ewen has been in clinicalremission for three years now, andhe said the support he receivedduring his treatment and recoverywas overwhelming. To show hisappreciation he decided, almoston a whim, that he would par-ticipate in the upcoming Ride toConquer Cancer, a two-day ridefrom Vancouver to Seattle on June14 and 15.

Ewen has a few friends whohave participated in the ride inthe past, but it was somethinghe never dreamed he would do,especially after his back collapsed.

“I got talked into this (the ride)probably about six months ago,”he said. “I hadn’t owned a bike,hadn’t been on a bike, to be reallyblunt, I didn’t know whether Icould still ride because I did lose afair bit of balance.”

Despite his doubts, Ewen wentout and bought himself a bike.He immediately took it for a spinwhen he got home, and much tohis surprise, he didn’t fall down.

“I thought it was a majoraccomplishment. It was prettyscary leap of faith, and I knewthat if I didn’t go all in that I’dprobably fail,” he said.

With one week remainingbefore Ewen embarks on hiscycling adventure, he has alreadyraised more than $4,000, whilehis team, Crush the Tumour withHumour, has raised more than$20,000. When asked what he ismost looking forward to comeJune 14, Ewen gave two answers:getting across the start line andpaying tribute to everyone whohelped him when he was sick.

“No matter what happens,just getting across the start line isgoing to be a huge goal for me, soI think anything after that is reallykind of gravy,” he said. “I’m excit-ed about the challenge, and a lotof it was about raising the moneyfor me, and now it’s kind of goingthrough the follow through.”

We get the picture. The province issiding with Coquitlam in its fight toexpand traffic options from Coquitlamto New Westminster. Coquitlam want-ed a two-lane bridge linking UnitedBoulevard with Braid Street.New West didn’t. NewWestminster, in fact, wouldprefer a drawbridge with amoat.

Transportation minister Todd Stone isfinally fed up with the impasse (whichis going to arbitration next week) andtells New West in a letter that its options

are limited and issues it an ultimatum.Accept a second crossing over theBrunette River for Coquitlam, or buyyour own bridge. Clearly Stone thoughtNew Westminster would either fold

like a cheap tent – or brokenBailey bridge – or the offerwould interfere with the arbi-tration. He sorely underesti-mated our wee kingdom.

We are simply fed up with peoplerunning roughshod through our streetsand simply clogging our roads. Trafficfrom United Boulevard is but one leak

in our road defense system – but it’s onetoo many. So, what to do?

Buy our own bridge. Of course thatwill cost taxpayers and we’ll also prob-ably be stuck with maintenance, but itwill be ours, dammit! Now, perhaps, thiswas Stone’s plan all along – thereby sav-ing the province the cost.

However, we doubt it. The provinceseldom seems concerned about highwaycosts, and this would be a very minorone. No, we think Stone is tired of deal-ing with New Westminster’s apparentlyself-centred view on the traffic situation

in the Lower Mainland.And so, it appears, are our neigh-

bours. City council’s plan for thePattullo Bridge, which it paraded beforeneighbouring city councils, was metwith little support – and, in some cases,downright negativity. Why, other pol-iticians asked, does New Westminsterthink it should be spared the traffic thatother municipalities endure? They sortof have a point.

But every city tries to maintain a live-able environment for its residents – thatis not only its right, but duty.

Why do we have tobargain for the best?

It’s hard to remember a timewhen there wasn’t an awfullot of conflict between teach-

ers and the B.C. governmentover the state of education inthis province.

Certainly not in my years asa parent (nearly seven) and noteven in my years as a reporter(more than a dozen).

Perhaps older and wisermothers and journalists than Ican recall a time of labour peaceand stability in this sector, and Ienvy them if they can.

One of my first assignmentsafter I left journalism schoolwas to cover a teachers’ rally inRichmond over the then-still-fresh “stripping” of contractprovisions like class size andcomposition limits.

For a newbie reporter, it wasan intimidating but eye-open-ing event. There was a senseamong those protesting that thepower of a collective voice (andperhaps common sense) wouldeventually win out.

Older teachers nearing retire-ment grieved the loss of agree-ments that had taken years togain; younger teachers won-dered how they’d be able to dotheir jobs the way they wanted

to in such an acrimoniousenvironment. There was frustra-tion and sadness and, yes, angerin spades that day (and most ofthe days since, it seems).

Premier Christy Clark waseducation minister then, andthough I have no memory nowof what I asked her, I recallclearly the impression I was leftwith: here was one cool, calm,collected politician.

Clark was a master at giv-ing a great, solid quote – and ofanswering her way around (andaround and around) the originalquestion.

Not much has changed:teachers are still fighting andworrying, education ministersare still good at giving soundbites, Clark is still calm, cool andcollected. Rallies are still beingheld, questions are still answeredin roundabout ways, we’re stilltalking about contract stripping(it was, for the record, foundby the courts to be illegal) andevery few years we all strugglethrough a strike and lockout.

It seems endless – the mainplayers change a little (except inthe case of Clark), but not muchelse has.

I can’t help but think thatsomewhere along the way, we’velost sight of the critical, at-the-core, heart of the matter – andmaybe it’s time to reevaluatethat.

I remember returning to thenewsroom that day, after therally in Richmond, and trying tofigure out why issues as

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Parents proud of son’s protestDear Editor:

My son was one of the students protesting theeducation labour disruption yesterday. My son is aGrade 10 student at NWSS and I have lost count ofthe number of strikes and job actions he has experi-enced as a student. He is frustrated by the ongoingjob action and took the opportunity to show hisfrustration.

At NWSS students are required to bring a note ifthey are away from school. This is the letter I wroteto explain his absence:

To Fraser Barton’s teachers:I am writing regarding my son Fraser Barton’s

absence from school yesterday (June 4, 2014).After discussing it with us, Fraser decided to take

part in the student protest yesterday. He did so aftergiving it a lot of thought, reading about the issue inseveral newspapers and on social media, and with

the permission and consent of us, his parents.Fraser has benefited greatly from the work teach-

ers do, no one is arguing that. But his education hasbeen littered with labour disruption and he, likemany students, is sick of it.

His protest was directed at neither the teachersnor the government, but rather it was directed at theseeming inability of both sides to reach a compro-mise. As Fraser puts it, teachers are always telling uswe need to learn to compromise. I would add that ifneither side is willing to, what kind of a message isthat sending to the kids?

As you know, Fraser is a rule follower by nature.As such, this brush with civil disobedience has beenvery difficult for him. But he stood up for somethinghe believed in, that BOTH sides need to negotiate,be willing to compromise, and find a path down themiddle.

We are proud of him for that, and we, his parents,excuse his absence from school yesterday.

IN MY OPINIONCHRISTINA MYERS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

fundamental to a child’seducation as class size orlearning supports or com-position had even become“agreements” in collectivebargaining in the firstplace.

I chalked my confu-sion up to being youngand uncertain of how theworld worked, and then Igot to work on filing mystory.

But here I am, morethan a decade later, nownot so young and uncer-tain, a mother, havinginterviewed hundreds ofteachers (and counting afew among my friends andfamily as well), and hon-estly I’m still baffled.

How is it that creatingthe best possible learningenvironment for our kidsis not something held sosacred that it’s just partof the framework of oursystem? Why did teachershave to bargain class sizein the first place, as thoughthe difference between 18kids and 22 kids is nothingmore than a “workplacecondition”?

This seems to me likeasking police officers tonegotiate for limits onspeeding in their contractsor for doctors to negotiatefor drugs to be banned.

Reduced speeding

and fewer drugs wouldcertainly make the jobs ofpolice officers and doc-tors “easier” but no oneexpects them to negotiatefor them – we, as a soci-ety, have determined thatcertain rules and laws andlimits are in our best inter-est and so we enshrinethem into law. Why is thecomposition of a classroomany different?

As a reporter, I’vealways maintained anunbiased “let’s hear bothsides” approach – that’smy job, and the job of allthose who seek to provideinformation to the public.

But as an individual– as a parent, and moreimportantly as a humanand citizen of this countryand world – I support theteachers.

Not because I believein their right as a union toprotest (though I do), andnot because I think that thegovernment has repeat-edly made poor decisionsand, at times, illegal onesin the province’s educationsystem (though they have),and not because I want mychildren to have a conflict-free education (though I’dbe ecstatic for it).

I support B.C. teach-ers because I believe inthe fundamental power ofpublic education – there

is nothing else I can thinkof that can so thoroughlytransform, empower andimprove a society as qual-ity public education.

When we talk aboutissues like class size andcomposition, what we’rereally talking about is cre-ating a system for publiceducation to exist in itsbest, most transformative,most powerful form.

Why that’s not thepriority of every singlepolitician in this province– in the country, frankly– is not just confusing butinfuriating.

That it’s been left toteachers to “bargain” thatframework into place is asad testament to the factthat it’s not a priority.

Until it is, we’ll be hav-ing this conversation overand over and over again.And while we do, anentire generation of kidswill grow up in a societythat hasn’t deemed itnecessary to give them thebest we could.

In return, our kids willnot be able to give societythe best they could.

“Now we have two dairyvendors instead of one. We havea bit more options,” she said.“There were some calls for morevariety. There are different ven-dors with the same products sopeople will have more to choosefrom, that kind of thing. Wehave really listened.”

The provinceis expected to soon begin rolling out newliquor guidelines, which will make salesand sampling of beer and wine possiblefor July. People will be able to buy a bottleof wine to take home and enjoy with theirfood purchases.

“I was in Halifax last summer and theirfarmers’ markets already have beer andwine there,” Maltais said. “It’s not like afree-for-all beer garden. It’s very classy. Thedisplays are always really nice. It’s a verycasual atmosphere where wine or beer areconcerned.”

In addition to Pacific Breeze Winery,Steel and Oak Brewing Co. and Four WindsBrewery have expressed interest in attend-ing the market.

“We’ve got a nice mix of different beerand wine vendors that are going to come,”Maltais said. “I think it’s going to be a verydifferent for us – but a good step.”

A mini-farmers’ market willbe a new feature in the chil-dren’s area at the market.

“They have got a little farm-ers’ markets stand of their own,they’ve got play fruits andvegetables to sell and barterbetween them, a little cash reg-ister,” Maltais said. “I did this atthe Surrey Farmers’ Market lastsummer – it was adorable. Youcould hear the little kids in theplay area going, ‘anybody wantto buy some vegetables?’ It wasso cute.”

With a ONE-prize grantcourtesy of Donald’s Marketand River Market, RoyalCity Farmers Market aims to

improve opportunities for seniors to attendthe market. It will use the money to providea market shuttle program for seniors.

“Some of these farmers we have areyoung kids and they are just trying it out.People don’t farm to make money. Theyaren’t out there to make a million dollars.They are there because they love what theydo, they love the land and they really wantto feed people,” Maltais said. “I really wantto impress upon our community that this iswhere you should buy your local producebecause it’s really local.”

The City of NewWestminster is compiling acase for a one-lane replace-ment for the existing Baileybridge as it fears a two-lanecrossing could significantlyincrease traffic in the con-gested corridor.

The crossing has beenthe subject of a longtimeconflict between the cit-ies of New Westminsterand Coquitlam, with NewWest supporting a one-lanebridge in the Braid indus-trial area and its neighbourpreferring a two-lane cross-ing.

“Recent modelling hasidentified that traffic vol-ume across the bridgecould increase significant-ly (approximately 45 percent) if two lanes of trafficwere introduced,” said JimLowrie, the City of NewWestminster’s director ofengineering. “This addedtraffic will result in lon-ger queues and increaseddelay times at the five levelrailway crossings on BraidStreet, and the Braid Street-Brunette Avenue intersec-tion, which are already

heavily congested.”The province has

appointed an arbitrator toconsider whether the cross-ing in the Braid industrialarea is best served by aone-lane crossing, as NewWestminster wants, or thetwo-lane crossing soughtby Coquitlam. The arbitra-tor’s decision will be bind-ing.

“We are putting togetherour final submission on thearbitration. They are dueon Tuesday,” Lowrie said.

Because the arbitrationis similar to a legal case,Lowrie was unable to pro-vide any specific detailsabout the city’s submissionuntil the arbitrator consid-ers it.

“The arbitrator has 21days to make a finding,” hesaid. “It’s not like a courthearing where you arecross-examining the otherparty – it’s an arbitrator’sfinal decision.”

By the beginning of July,the city expects to have adecision on the arbitra-tion and a new temporarybridge in place.

The existing Baileybridge has been closed tovehicle traffic since the

beginning of March, whenengineers hired by theCity of New Westminsterdeemed it to be structur-ally unsound. In an effortto reopen the crossing, thecity has resourced a newtemporary bridge that itexpects to be delivered inthe middle of June.

“It’s a lease-to-ownarrangement. We are leas-ing the bridge, and wehave the option to purchaseit,” Lowrie said. “The leaseterm is for one year.”

The city anticipates thatthe cost of the bridge willbe about $175,000. The citycould have received a freebridge from the Ministryof Transportation andInfrastructure, but it wouldhave had to agree to twocrossing lanes to get thatbridge.

Coun. Jonathan Cotesaid the city couldn’t agreeto that condition, as itwould have compromisedthe city’s position in thebinding arbitration pro-cess.

“The city has, from thevery beginning, recognizedit does have a responsi-bility for that crossing,and certainly does have

a financial obligation topay for the transportationinfrastructure in our com-munity,” Cote said, adding

the $175,000 cost is partof that. “Unfortunatelytaking the province’s offerwould have completely

undermined our positionthrough the arbitration pro-cess and really made thearbitration a moot point,which we think wouldhave been against the bestinterests of the City of NewWestminster.”

Although the bridge isconsidered a temporarystructure, Cote told TheRecord it could be used for20 or 25 years, dependingon the arbitrator’s deci-sion.

The crossing has been abone of contention betweenNew Westminster andCoquitlam for more thana decade.

For a look back at someof the significant dates in thislongstanding dispute, visitTheresa McManus’s blog onThe Record’s website.

A Maple Ridge man has assembled a teamof canoeists to paddle 1,300 kilometres, fromFort Langley to Alaska, to highlight environ-mental threats to the West Coast.

The group of paddlers left from FortLangley on Sunday, June 1, and made a stopin New Westminster on Monday, June 2, for

a special ceremony at theQuay.

Chris Cooper, a natureguide and canoeist fromMaple Ridge, is leadingthe Spirit of the Coast tour,which features a single, six-

person canoe named “Hiyakw e te Stahluxw”which is a Hun’qu’ma’num word for “Chief ofthe River.”

“Spirit of the Coast is about education, cul-ture, environmental stewardship and most ofall spreading awareness about our beautifulB.C. coastline,” Cooper said in a media release.“It is not an environmental protest but rather ajourney to educate those who have never seenthe coast up close.”

Canoeists from B.C., Ontario, Alberta,Scotland, England, the U.S. and the KwantlenFirst Nation are joining Cooper on the journey.

Voyage: A small group of canoeists is paddling 1,300 kilometres, from Fort Langley to Alaska, to highlight environmental threats tothe West Coast. The group stopped in New Westminster on Monday for a ceremony. See video at www.royalcityrecord.com.

◗ IN THE GAMEGlenbrook wins two medals in high school track ◗P20Shasta club tumblers win five at gym nationals ◗P20

Juniors redeem team downing Delta

Nina Schultz wrote not only anew chapter in New Westminsterhigh school track history, butadded to some family history aswell.

The 15-year-old Hyack phe-nom was named the first-everoutstanding female performerat the B.C. high school trackand field championships fromNew Westminster following theschool’s history-making win inLangley on Saturday.

The New West Secondaryjunior won three events – thegirls’ heptathlon, high jump andtriple jump, while also sharingin a fourth gold medal on thegirls’ 4x400 metre relay team that

clinched the school’s first provin-cial banner since the meet beganin 1967.

“It’s a good way to finish offa good weekend,” said Schultz,who is a grandchild to the greatChinese high jumper ZhengFengrong, who broke the worldrecord in the event in 1957 clear-ing the bar in 1.77 metres usingthe orthodox scissor kick.

Her milestone jump madeFengrong a celebrity in her coun-try and the first Chinese womanto hold a sport world record. Atthe time, she was heralded in theChinese media as “the swallowwho announced that the spring ofChina’s sports has arrived.”

Schultz won the high jumpin Langley with a leap of 1.75m,using the now convential Brill

bend method.“It’s hard to live up to, but

I think she’ll be proud,” saidSchultz, who speaks regularlyto her 77-year-old grandmotherwho still lives in Mainland China.“She really wanted me to go intotrack when I was a kid. She’sreally proud of that.”

Since the People’s Republic ofChina did not compete in theOlympic Games from 1952 to1984, Fengrong was unable tocompete. But her 1977 jump didbreak the record of 1956 Olympicchampion Mildred McDaniel ofthe U.S.

“It’s special,” Schultz said afterfinishing her individual events onSaturday. “At practice, I wasn’t

The Stealth announcedTuesday that head coachand vice-president oflacrosse operations ChrisHall is retiring from coach-ing due to health-relatedmatters.

Hall will remain withthe organization as senioradvisor to the president.Perreault’s position as headcoach is effective immedi-ately.

Perreault has served asan assistant coach with theStealth for the past two sea-sons and has four years ofpro experience behind thebench in the NLL.

“I’m honoured to havethe confidence of (owner)Denise Watkins, (clubpresident) Doug (Locker)and Chris (Hall).

New Westminster didan about face againstthe Delta Islanders onTuesday.

The junior ASalmonbellies showed acomplete reversal of form,redeeming a recent 12-6loss to the Islanders inLadner with a sparkling14-4 victory at Queen’sPark Arena on Tuesday.

In fact, the similaritiesbetween the two diver-gent outcomes, prompt-ed ’Bellies captain SteveFerdinandi to claim, “Wedid what we had to do.”

In the May 17 loss toDelta, New West scoredjust once in the final twoperiods on Islanders’keeper Ryland Hood andwere outshot by doublefigures.

The middle periodproved the Salmonbellies’undoing, with New Westgiving up seven goals tothe home team.

At Queen’s Park, NewWestminster reversedits fortunes in a mirror-image-like way.

Trailing 3-2 headinginto the middle period, theSalmonbellies wasted notime pelting Hood with21 shots on goal, scor-ing on eight of them. Thefirst coming from JeremyBosher at 40 seconds of theperiod.

Bosher, Jakob Doucetand Josh Byrne, with fivegoals in his first seasonstart, all collected a pair ofgoals in the period.

Ross Bowman wasstellar following a lack-lustre outing in the wildwin over Victoria twodays earlier. The second-

year starter blanked theIslanders for more than40 minutes before he gaveway to backup MichaelFlintoff with five minutesleft to play.

Ferdinandi said theteam knew it had to bringa different energy to thegame on Tuesday.

“We just played a goodteam game,” he said. “Ithink we just came intothe dressing room with adifferent mindset.

“Everyone knew theyhad to personally play bet-ter. I thought right from the

start we were focused.”Byrne opened the scor-

ing for New West withgoals on his first two shots.He counted his fifth of thegame while shorthanded,spotting an opening in theIslander defence and tak-ing it to the net, firing theball through the head of aneedle on the short side ofMatt Keith, who came onin relief of Hood late in thesecond period.

Luke Gillespie andTyrell Hamer-Jackson alsocounted goals on the short-man to bring the ’Bellies’

season total to a league-high 10 goals on the pen-alty kill.

Connor Robinson heldon to his lead atop thescoring ladder, adding fourassists to remain a pointahead of Nanaimo’s CoreyShires with 52 points.

Bowman allowed justthree goals and made 30stops.

“It’s coming,” said jun-ior Salmonbellies headcoach Dan Perreault, whoearlier in the day took overas the new head coachof the National Lacrosse

League Vancouver Stealth.“Right now, we’re

thinking about league playand playoffs,” he added.“It’s all about fundamen-tals and good habits. It’shuge at this time of theyear.”

Coquitlam edged apoint ahead of New Westfollowing a 14-9 win overBurnaby on Wednesday.

The juniors are on theroad for two games thisweek before returninghome for a tilt with PortCoquitlam on Tuesday at8 p.m.



Check it out: Johnny Pearson, seen in white against Victoria, collected his 20th and 21st goals this season inNew Westminster’s dramatic 14-4 victory over the Delta Islanders at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday.

Coach: Won’t be leaving junior A club

hitting any of my jumps (prior to themeet). I came in just wanting to do the bestI could. I was really happy with that.”

Not only did Schultz match a personalbest in the high jump, she also addednearly half a metre to her previous best towin the triple jump in 11.66m.

Last week, at the combined events final,Schultz also PB’d in the long jump, win-ning that discipline easily with a leap of5.72m.

“I hit a growth spurt a few years ago,and since then I’m just getting stronger asan athlete,” she said.
