NEW WEST COUNCIL ON THE MOVE

GIVING NEW LIFE TO NEGLECTED PLANTS

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERWith 90,000 people at Saturday’s Columbia StrEAT food truck festival, finding a quiet place to enjoy your meal can be a challenge.

New West woman is a Global HeroMario [email protected]

Katie Bartel is a hero.But she doesn’t drive a

menacing black car that can also fly. She can’t shoot spider webs from her wrists.

Bartel is a Medtronic Global Hero. (Full disclosure, she’s also my wife).

Every year since 2006, the Minneapolis-based medical technology company honours 25 active people from around the world whose quality of life depends on a medical device such as an insulin pump, pacemaker or heart valves. They are invited to the city to run in the Twin Cities Marathon, which this year will be held Oct. 4.

Bartel, 37, has had Type 1 diabetes since she was nine-years-old. For the past six years she’s relied on an electronic insulin pump to provide her body with the hormone her pancreas can no longer produce to regulate her blood sugars.

The cell-phone-sized device is clipped to her waistband or secreted in a pocket. A small plastic tube carries a slow steady stream of the life-sustaining insulin to an infusion in her arm, belly or thigh.

Bartel said she started wearing an insulin pump because it gives her more precise control of her disease while she participates in activities like running, cycling and dragon boating. Previously she relied on needle injections, something that could be difficult and inconvenient in the middle of a marathon race.

Food truck fest eases hunger for 90,000 visitorsMario [email protected]

There was no excuse to go hungry on Columbia Street Saturday.

More than 70 food trucks and another 30 local vendors sated the appetites of an estimated 90,000 people who filled the former Golden Mile from curb to curb at the third annual Columbia StrEAT food truck festival.

“It was big,” said Maddie McKitrick, the program and events coordinator for the Downtown Business Improvement Association, which organizes the culinary gathering. “It surpassed our wildest expectations.”

After working out kinks from the event’s first two years, like demand that

overwhelmed supply at the inaugural festival, and traffic flow and line management issues last year, this year’s event seemed to score a home run with visitors and the food trucks, said McKitrick.

“Every year we fine tune it,” she said.From the moment the first truck threw

open its shutter to start serving customers just before 4 p.m., the crowds grew steadily through the evening. They had their pick from gourmet street fare like duck confit, pulled pork, grilled cheese. In fact, the cuisine spanned the globe, from the Philippines to Slovakia to France to South Carolina.

“People have all these options,” said McKitrick. “These trucks do such gourmet food, they’re creative chefs.”

McKitrick said expanding the festival from Begbie Street to the eastern-most end of the Downtown strip allowed more space to accommodate the 70 food trucks, as well as move the clusters of tables and chairs where people could sit to enjoy their meals from the centre of the street to the sides.

Local businesses also got onboard the event in a big way, said McKitrick. Old Crow Coffee, Rain City Juicery, the New West Farmer’s Market were some of the locals that had booths offering their fare and showing off New West’s growing foodie reputation to the throngs of visitors. Steel & Oak brewery supplied beer to the licensed garden in the Anvil Centre.

Jordan Catton’s beard is worth $1,400.

At least, he hopes it is.Because for every $200 he raises for

cancer research by early September, he’ll shave off an inch of his facial follicles.

Catton’s beard is seven inches long.When the 25-year-old Queen’s

Park resident stopped shaving a year ago, he didn’t set out to grow a long, bushy mane from his chin. But now that it’s reached proportions that catch the curiosity of friends and even strangers, Catton said he wanted a good reason to shave it off.

The past year has been a tough one for cancer diagnoses in his extended

social circle, said Catton. Family members, neighbours and even the parent of one of the kids he coaches in lacrosse have all been touched by the disease. Some have perished.

Catton said he wanted to do something to help, but he didn’t know how. Turns out the answer wasn’t just staring him in the face every time he looked in a mirror, it was his face.

Shaving his beard for cancer research, he said, “seemed like a fun thing to do.”

Of course, Catton said over the course of the past year he’s grown quite fond of his beard.

“It’s the second-longest relationship I’ve had,” he quipped.

He shampoos and conditions it to keep it soft. He trims it to keep it tidy.

He gets compliments, fields questions, mostly about its maintenance.

The decision to part with it wasn’t easy, said Catton.

So far he’s raised $500. That’s just over two inches off his beard.

Donors will be able to participate in the shaving if they so desire. Or they can help style what’s left if he doesn’t reach his goal. That could include hanging baubles and ornaments in it, for another fundraising project he’s pondering.

“I want to do fun things to raise the money,” said Catton.

New West man faces down cancer, with his face

New Westminster city council is on the move.

Starting this Monday, Aug. 31, city council will hold three of its council meetings at different locations throughout the city including the Anvil Centre, Queensborough Community Centre and Sapperton Pensioners Hall.

“Council chamber at city hall will be under renovation until the end of September,” said acting Mayor Patrick Johnstone in a news release in explaining the meeting changes. “Hosting our council meetings at community facilities not only provides us with a creative solution to being displaced, but also allows us to connect with residents who may not otherwise attend a council meeting at city hall.”

On Aug. 31 committee of the whole is at 3 p.m. and regular council at 7 p.m. at the Anvil Centre (777 Columbia St).

On Sept. 14, regular council will be at 5:30 p.m. at the Queensborough Community Centre (920 Ewen Ave).

On Sept. 28, an open council workshop will be held at 2:30 p.m. and a public hearing at 6 p.m. at the Sapperton Pensioners Hall (318 Keary St).

The off-site meetings will not be live broadcast; however, the regular council meeting will be recorded and aired on Shaw television the following Saturday at

noon, with the exception of the Sept. 14 meeting, which will be aired on Sunday, Oct. 4 at 9 a.m.

The city is also putting in place a new council format and schedule starting Sept. 14.

The new format and schedule will see the elimination of committee of the whole and regular council will begin earlier at 5:30 p.m. Items that were previously considered at committee of the whole will now be integrated into the regular council meeting. Open delegations will be held at 7:30 p.m.

On the last Monday of the month there will be an open council workshop at noon and a public hearing at 6 p.m. There will be no open delegations on these evenings.

A new council standing committee on land use planning is also being established to streamline the development approval process and provide a forum for a thorough review of planning matters.

“In the current council format, the majority of discussion and debate is being held at the committee of the whole meeting which takes place during the day,” added Johnstone. “We know the public wants to be more engaged and view these deliberations. By moving many of these topics to later in the day, we hope to better serve the community as well as maintain our commitment to open access to council.”

Even El Santo, a new Mexican restaurant that has yet to open in the Trapp + Holbrook development, was handing out samplers of Mexican soda to help build excitement and anticipation.

“We’ve really turned into a foodie destination,” said McKitrick. “It’s great for us to bring local businesses onto the street and build awareness.”

With the StrEAT festival

billed as Canada’s largest food truck gathering, McKitrick said she’s already beginning work on the next year’s event, to ensure its place as the best food truck event in the country.

That includes surveying the vendors for their feedback and suggestions, mining social media to determine what visitors liked or found didn’t meet their expectations.

One trend McKitrick

did note this year was an increasing number of food trucks offering “sampler” versions of their menus, smaller portions at a reduced price, so visitors could try out a number of different cuisines without overstuffing their bellies.

“I love to see the trucks are understanding the event and gearing towards a chance for people to sample,” said McKitrick. “It’s a fun atmosphere to be a part of.”

Bartel hasn’t let her disease cramp her active lifestyle. While she no longer dragon boats, she has run two marathons, a number of half-marathon and 10 km events, as well as cycled one Gran Fondo bike race. In between, she’s also found the time, and energy, to have a child and change careers.

Along the way, she documents the challenges and triumphs of living and running with diabetes in her popular blog, princessofpavement.com.

It’s that blog that caught the attention of the Global Heroes selection team.

Bartel said she started the blog shortly after she started using a pump and training for her first marathon. She wanted to share her story and possibly connect with other athletic diabetics.

“For many years before I had this blog, I didn’t know anyone else with this disease,” said Bartel. “When you have triumphs or frustrations with the disease, and you’re looking for additional support the people who don’t have diabetes can’t give you, they know exactly what you’re going through.”

In fact, it’s the musings and concerns of that community that affirmed Bartel’s decision to switch careers. Last year she left her job as a newspaper journalist to begin the five-year odyssey to become a registered dietician.

“I had a lot of frustrations over the years when I started running to manage my diabetes,” said Bartel. “I always want to do better. I’ve asked doctors how I can control this disease with my running, but they’re so focussed on helping people who are struggling with this disease.”

Even when Bartel went to a dietician to learn about fuelling options for her runs, she couldn’t get the guidance she was seeking.

“She handed me a thick stack of papers to read through because she, admittedly, didn’t know how to help me,” said Bartel.

Helping healthy diabetics stay healthy and active through diet and exercise is better for them, their families, and the medical system at large, said Bartel.

“It’s being proactive rather than reactive.”

When she travels to Minneapolis in October, Bartel will join other Global Heroes from as far away as France, South Africa, Russia and the United States. Bartel is the only Canadian in this year’s contingent.

“Medtronic Global Heroes represent passionate and empowered individuals, who not only proactively manage their own health needs, but encourage, inspire and contribute to the well-being of their families, friends and communities,” said Dr. Jacob Gayle, the vice president of Medtronic Philanthropy.

“I’m pretty stoked,” said Bartel of her entry in the Twin Cities Marathon as part of the Global Heroes team. “Going to Minneapolis is going to help me meet more inspiring Type One’s and further build this community.”

Arthur Giovinazzo has the seed of an idea that he hopes will give new life to abandoned and neglected house plants.

He wants to rescue them, nurse them back to health and then adopt them out to new, caring homes. Just like the SPCA does for dogs and cats.

The retired cook and former civil servant who’s lived in Sapperton the past five years said the notion sprouted when he rescued a forlorn ponytail palm that had been left behind in an old cigar store in Downtown New West that was slated for demolition.

The shop’s owner had moved up the street, so Giovinazzo enquired about the plant’s fate. He was told he was welcome to the plant, but the proprietor no longer had access to his old store.

Giovinazzo contacted the property’s new owner, the City of New West, which promptly sent someone down to let him into the shop to fetch the plant, and even gave him a ride back to his apartment.

There the plant has been thriving on Giovinazzo’s balcony, along with dozens of others he’s cared for since they were seedlings

or watered and trimmed back to health.“If a plant gets more life, it’s a beautiful

thing,” said Giovinazzo, 66, who’s gleaned most of his botanical knowledge from years of trial and error along with considerable guidance from Google.

“If you listen to plants, you notice what they need,” he said.

And some just need a good home and loving touch, even after their previous owners have discarded them because they could no longer care for them, or they thought the plant was sick or dying.

Giovinazzo said he does what he can to help those plants he often finds in back alleys or next to dumpsters, but his space is limited in his apartment. He’d like to connect with other like-minded individuals to pool their resources, maybe set themselves up as a non-profit society, eventually find a space where they can put the rescued plants on display and people can adopt them.

Like Giovinazzo said, it’s just the seed of an idea. But maybe it will germinate and blossom.

Arthur Giovinazzo rescued this ponytail palm from an old cigar store destined for demolition and nursed it back to health. Now he hopes to do the same for other abandoned and neglected house plants.MARIO BARTEL NEWSLEADER

QUAYSIDE COLOURSaturday’s Quayside boardwalk sale and festival brought all kinds of colour and colourful characters to New Westminster’s waterfront, like the tutus that catch the eye of a passerby (above) or Shawno and Hugo-A-Go-Go, who channelled their inner Fred Flinstones. Everyone was on the prowl for bargains from dozens of vendors.

“Lyle & Sandy sold our family home in less than a week, $62 thousand over list price with full MLS Service & saved us over $20

thousand* in real estate commission fees!”

We just completed our third real estate transaction with Sandy and Lyle. We have bought one property and sold two properties through Sandy and Lyle. Our purchase was made under the listing price and both of our sales were completed

at substantially over the listing price. Both sales were completed within a week of listing and were totally painless. I have worked with full commission agents and can honestly say that Sandy and Lyle provided better service and worked harder than the full commission agents. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Sandy and Lyle to friends and family and of course Sandy and Lyle will be my � rst and best option if I

need any help with a property in the future. It’s a win-win situation. The seller saves on commission

and the buyer is able purchase the property at a lower price due to the lower commission.

Daryl M.7310 Boundary, Burnaby &

1937 Edinburgh, New Westminster

“It has been a lovely experience going through the selling and buying process with Lyle and Sandy.”

They are a great team, courteous, professional, experienced, and knowledgeable, especially on local market. I would highly recommend Lyle and Sandy no matter you are going to buy or sell a property.

Becky Wang & Simon Sun506 Tenth Ave New Westminster

“Lyle & Sandy Longridge sold our home $72K over list price in a few days with full MLS service and saved us over $18,500* on Real Estate Commission Fees!”

Lyle and Sandy Longridge have been great to work with. They were able to sell our rental property in a quick and

ef� cient manner. During the whole process they were very helpful and professional. We would de� nitely recommend

their service to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Pauline and Doug Chang1425 London St New Westminster

“Sold in � ve days above asking price! And the asking price was ten percent

higher than we expected to ask.”

All for a � xed price. They knew the market and guided us on getting the property ready to sell.

Friendly, professional, knowledgeable and fun. They were a joy to work with. Friends recommended them to us and we recommend them to anyone.

Back to school banner - Leslie to place

As summer vacation winds down, thoughts turn from jaunts to the beach to readying for a new school year.

To-do lists include many of the typical tasks that precede going back to the classroom, including shopping for new clothes, purchasing school supplies and finishing summer reading assignments.

Another essential requirement parents must find time for is completing their children’s health screenings and immunizations so youngsters can return to school.

Health screenings may include, but may not be limited to, routine physical exams, eye exams and dental cleanings. Each school district may have its own set of health requirements that must be met in order for children to attend school.

Many schools require that children are up-to-date with all immunizations before they can begin a new school year.

Students who have specific learning disabilities or medical conditions that require classroom modification should obtain recent documentation from any therapists or specialists prior to beginning a new school year. Doing so facilitates the process of setting up procedures within the school while ensuring children have what they need to excel in the classroom. All parents

may want to ask doctors to provide copies of medical and immunization records so that schools will have the most recent copies on file.

Parents should schedule eye examinations well in advance of the first day of school so they have ample time to fill new prescriptions for youngsters before school begins. This ensures kids won’t be starting off on the wrong foot because of vision problems that could already have been addressed.

Parents of adolescents or students on the verge of adolescence may want to address the subject of bodily changes before the school year begins anew. Address which changes

can be expected, including the start of menstruation for girls. This will help children better understand what is happening when they witness changes in themselves and fellow classmates and give them a chance to receive accurate information rather than gossip from their peers.

Keep in mind that health screenings conducted in advance of the school year may not preclude students from school-sponsored screenings. Schools may offer their own vision and hearing screenings and may take physical measurements to ensure students are growing on schedules in line with normal development.

METRO CREATIVE PHOTOSchedule visits to the doctor, dentist and an eye doctor so your child is up-to-date upon the dawn of a new school year.

Add health screenings to back to school checklist

The back to school season is a great time to review your family’s vaccinations.

Immunizations are one of the most effective preventative medical interventions available to protect children against serious vaccine-preventable diseases. However, children are not considered fully protected against vaccine preventable diseases until they have completed the recommended immunizations.

Children between four and six years old should have up-to-date booster shots to protect against polio, tetanus, diphtheria, chicken pox and whooping cough. Subsequent vaccinations are also received in grades 6 and 9 at school, with periodic immunizations also recommended

throughout adulthood.By ensuring your child is immunized,

not only are you protecting their health but those in the community as well.

If you need to make an immunization appointment, call your family physician or local Public Health Unit. Fraser Health’s public health teams are supporting parents in keeping up with their child’s immunization schedule, offering convenient access to immunizations clinics during the evenings and on weekends.

For more information on vaccinations and where to get your child immunized, visit http://www.fraserhealth.ca/your_health/immunizations/.

Back to school season can be as expensive for parents as it is exciting for students. Once the initial letdown of the end of summer vacation wears off, many kids are excited to return to school, where they can see their friends, study their favourite subjects and participate in extracurricular activities.

Parents of school-aged youngsters may share in that excitement while also knowing that back to school season can stretch their budgets. One of the ways to salvage those budgets is to save on school supplies. Fortunately, there are several ways parents can do just that.

• Be patient: Shopping early can save shoppers money in many instances, but parents may benefit by exercising patience when it comes to buying school supplies for their children. Teachers often give students lists of supplies they will need for each class, and parents who wait to receive such lists can avoid spending money on items their kids won’t need. Even if you wait it out, you may be able to get a head start, as some teachers may post supply lists on school websites, while others might email lists to parents before back to school season hits full swing.

• Take inventory: If you have more than one child, chances are you already have lots of school supplies around the house.

Dust off kids’ backpacks and study areas from last school year to determine which supplies you need to buy and which you already have.

Going forward, encourage kids to store their supplies in a predetermined area once the school year ends, as this will make next year’s inventory that much easier to examine and assess.

• Spend more now to save later: While inexpensive supplies can be hard to resist, such items likely won’t withstand the test of time, forcing you to spend time and money each year buying replacement supplies.

Paying more now for certain items, including stronger backpacks and more highly rated calculators, may end up saving you money in the long run, even if the initial pill is somewhat tough to swallow.

• Use technology to your advantage: Department stores and businesses that sell school supplies, such as pharmacies and office stores, may or may not discount too many items once back to school season hits full swing. But savvy parents can still find deals by using technology to their advantage when shopping for school supplies.

School supplies can be expensive, but parents can employ several strategies to save on school supplies now and in the future.

METRO CREATIVE PHOTOSchool supply budgets can be stretched this time of year as parents get their children ready to go back to school.

A melting pot of art and music, the Heritage Grill on Columbia Street is a cultural venue for entertainment and creativity. The main concept of the Heritage Grill is live music seven days a week, but Paul Minhas, the owner of the Heritage Grill, believes in diversity to draw customers in.

“I’ve always had the dream of opening a live music venue, “he says. “There are a lot of pubs already in this area, but I wanted to create my own identity.” Passionate about live music, art and theatre, Paul states that he wanted to create a venue that re� ected his own personality.

The Heritage Grill features a wide range of events from comedy nights to poetry readings, an open mic night and even drag shows. Paul’s vision is to establish the Heritage Grill as an event destination. “My thing is to give the people the biggest bang for their buck and give them options on top of that. They don’t have to go downtown. [We’re] right in their backyard.”

A popular new event is the Ukulele Club that meets on Monday nights. Three years ago, the club started as a couple of people meeting in the back room. Today, the group � lls the entire front seating area. “We’re thinking we might have to have a second Ukulele night of the week. It’s becoming that big.”

Paul says he’s witnessed a lot of growth and change in the community over the years and he continues to stress the importance of keeping an open mind. “Whatever we’re doing, we do to the best of our ability. At the end of the day it’s not just about me. It’s about the people.”

On May 28th the Heritage Grill celebrated its 10-year anniversary.

A view from Primrose Hill in London

Powerfully posh wheels for cruising Primrose Hill

‘‘It’s like one of those darn Yankee cars…too long for my coach house,” he chuckled and strode off into the book store before I could comment.’’Keith Morgan

London, England – Rollers, Bentleys and Lambos are as plentiful as shopping carts at the local Morrisons supermarket in this exclusive and expensive residential area of the old country’s capital city.The posh wheels in which I tooled around Primrose Hill for a week was not to be found anywhere but the drive of my temporary city home, blocks away from where the late, great Amy Winehouse spent her final sad days. The 2016 BMW M6 Gran Coupe, priced here at a base price of $129,000, distracted well-dressed locals from their window-shopping. Some shed the coolness and stroked the ‘bonnet’ of the machine, which conceals the massive 4.4-litre M turbocharged, 560 horsepower, V8 engine. It’s sporty looks, racy carbon fibre roof and large air intakes had signalled to them its power.A few guys, one of whom looked like one of those famous Brit actors whose name you can never remember, broke silence and asked me what it was. Well, they knew it was a Bimmer but wondered at its length.“It’s like one of those darn Yankee cars…too damned long for my coach house,” he chuckled and strode off into the book store before I could comment.Yes, at almost five metres in length it was one heck of a challenge to park at the aforementioned food emporium, protruding considerably into the space behind. But it was worth the effort because that cavernous trunk, I mean ‘boot’ was ideal for stashing the huge quantity of sweet confectionary my kids insist I purchase every time I visit the land of my birth.Pleased as punch with my purchase of malt loaf, Chorley cakes, Curly Wurlys and Jelly Babies, to name

but a few calorie-packed treats, I headed over to the less than elite area of Camden Town, where hippies still roam. That was a mistake.Traffic wasn’t stopped but all four lanes were chock-a-block and merely moving one block took seemed to take an eternity. Thank goodness for the ‘creep on demand’ feature, which kicks in with a light touch of the accelerator and takes the car smoothly up to 14 km/h. I should have been so lucky to reach such a top speed.I was concerned that one of those ever-weaving London taxis would remove a coat of paint from the Gran Coupe. Needn’t have worried. Well, at least, not about the cabs. A glance in my rear view mirror, alerted me to a cyclist speedily approaching. The two-wheeler decided we motorists

were all going too slowly for him. Just as the motorized battalion picked up a bit of speed he whipped by me on the right. To avoid a collision with a fast ‘approaching’ central pedestrian island he cut in front of me. I veered to the left and curbed the car. He took off, oblivious to the costly damage he had caused to the low profile wheels on the passenger side.Time to get out of town and put those 560 horses to better use on the motorway. Where would the local gentry spend the weekend? Ah yes, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, a drive of around 90 minutes. It was a chance to renew my acquaintance with F1 driver Sebastian Vettel, as a guest of Ferrari team sponsor Shell. Having him at the wheel might have been more thrilling but while I didn’t push the pedal to the metal, I did cause the horses to break into

more than a gallop – zero to 100 km/h in just over 4.2 seconds. The Gran Coupe purrs along and effortlessly breezes by anything you choose it to pass. The seven-speed Steptronic tranny offers seamless movement between the gears. I’m not the biggest fan of gearshift paddles but it was fun playing with them on a busy stretch close to my destination.Approaching the track, traffic slowed and for the first time I had time to admire the beautifully stitched leather interior and controls layout, all of which are definitely all ergonomically correct.The cockpit display takes its cues from the driving mode selected using the Driving Dynamics Control switch, the graphics and colors of the displays indicating clearly which of the COMFORT, ECO PRO and SPORT settings has been engaged. Very cool. And it’s loaded with every safety warning system you can think of: lane departure, pedestrian and collision warning. A mad cyclist warning system capable of evasive action would be a worthy addition for 2017.

down 8,300.B.C.’s unemployment

rate tied with Alberta for third lowest in the country in July. Saskatchewan was lowest with 5.2 per cent and Manitoba second lowest at 5.8 per cent, compared with a national rate of 6.8 per cent.

MORREY NISSAN4450 STILL CREEK DRIVE, BURNABY

TEL: (604) 291-7261


The Pacific Salmon Foundation recently awarded $10,000 for a salmon project in New Westminster.

The total value of the project including volunteer time and community fundraising is more than $100,000. The Foundation’s Community Salmon Program supports habitat stewardship, Pacific salmon enhancement and watershed education, and is funded primarily from sales of the federal government’s Salmon Conservation Stamp.

“We are pleased to support the Fraser River Discovery Centre in phase one of its Working River Project, as it will help educate visitors about the environmental, economic and cultural importance of salmon in the Fraser River,” said Dr. Brian Riddell, president and CEO of the Pacific Salmon Foundation in a news release.

The Foundation’s Community Salmon Program supports community groups, volunteers and First Nations across the

province. All give countless hours each year to monitor watersheds, develop and implement habitat rehabilitation projects, and educate communities about the conservation and protection of salmon. The program requires grantees to find matching funds for projects. On average, grantees raise an additional six dollars for every dollar they receive through additional fundraising for donations of in-kind and money at the community level.

The majority of funds

for the Community Salmon Program were generated through sales of the federal Salmon Conservation Stamp. The Salmon Conservation Stamp is a decal that must be purchased annually by anglers if they wish to keep Pacific salmon caught in saltwater off of Canada’s West Coast. Currently all proceeds from the $6 stamp are returned to B.C. through the Foundation, generating about $1 million for community grants annually.

In addition to funds

generated from the sales of the federal Salmon Stamp, the grants are made possible by Pacific Salmon Foundation fundraising dinners, auctions and donations from individuals, foundations and businesses. Several businesses and foundations also contribute to the Pacific Salmon Foundation’s community

salmon program. “The Community

Salmon Program captures the essence of what we are trying to do at the Foundation,” added Riddell. “Government, business, First Nations and volunteers all working together — that is the best way to ensure the future of wild Pacific salmon.”

New West salmon project receives funds

Tom [email protected]

The release of a spring survey of B.C. municipalities confirms the problems that led to the firing of B.C.’s first Auditor General for Local Government in March.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities surveyed the 17 local governments that had participated in former AGLG Basia Ruta’s reviews by March. All but one responded that AGLG staff and auditors lacked understanding of how local government operates in B.C.

One community with RCMP service said the AGLG was “not quite sure how to assess our situation” because the municipality had little discretion over the terms of its policing contract.

The survey also found that high turnover in

Rutia’s office hampered its performance audits. That was one of the factors that led to Ruta being fired, after she refused to cooperate with a review of her office’s functions.

Former B.C. auditor general Arn van Iersel was appointed acting AGLG in April and is working with the UBCM

on its recommendations, including training of audit staff.

Hired to execute an idea proposed by Premier Christy Clark in her 2012 bid for the B.C. Liberal Party leadership, Ruta set herself a target of 18 audits in the first year. Clashes with staff at her Surrey office and her supervising board began to emerge, and only one audit was completed in that time.

7,500 more workers under ‘economic stability’ dealsJeff [email protected]

The province has recently signed new five-year labour contracts providing 5.5 per cent pay hikes with unions representing nearly 7,500 workers at 14 post-secondary institutions.

The recently ratified agreements follow the government’s same “economic stability mandate” that has been the pattern for other public sector unions.

Within the Lower Mainland, the new agreements include 1,000 instructors, counsellors and librarians and other staff at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, plus another 575 support and administrative service staff at KPU campuses in Cloverdale, Langley, Surrey and Richmond.

Other facilities in the region that have new contracts with faculty or support staff include Douglas College, Capilano College, Emily Carr University of Art + Design, the B.C. Institute of Technology and the Justice Institute of B.C.

The economic stability agreements, which now cover 230,000 workers across the province or three-quarters of the unionized public sector, promise extra wage hikes if B.C. exceeds its economic growth forecasts.

Labour contracts inked with 14 institutions

There was never any doubt.

The Victoria Shamrocks jumped to an 8-1 lead before the New Westminster Salmonbellies showed any sign of life, en route to a 10-5 win Friday at Queen’s Park Arena and a four-game sweep of their Western Lacrosse Association final.

New West, who needed a win to extend the series, spotted the visitors a 2-0 lead before Jimmy McBride halved their lead with an unassisted goal 11:19 into the first period.

But less than four

minutes later the Shamrocks embarked on a six-goal run that extended well into the second period to pretty much ensure a champagne celebration in their dressing room later that night.

The Salmonbellies were able to halve their disadvantage on a pair of goals by Keegan Bal, and another by Jordan McBride. But even a desperation move by New West coach Steve Goodwin to pull his goalie in favour of an extra attacker with more than half the third period still to play couldn’t get his club any closer to holding off the inevitable.

Karsen Leung scored for Victoria on the empty net to snuff the Bellies’ mini surge.

Rhys Duch led the Shamrocks scorers with four goals to earn the game’s first star. Goalie Aaron Bold stopped 45 of 50 Salmonbellies’ shots to be named the game’s second star, while Victoria’s Tyler Hass rounded out the post-game notables.

The win sends the Shamrocks to the Mann Cup national championship for the third straight year. But they won’t have to travel far, as they’ll be hosting the tournament at the Q Centre.

Bellies swept aside by Shamrocks

BRUCE STOTESBURY/VICTORIA TIMES COLONISTKeegan Bal of the New West Salmonbellies is chased by Victoria Shamrocks Mitch Jones in game three of their Western Lacrosse Association series at the Q Centre on Aug. 19.

The Vancouver Stealth continues to reshape their roster with talent familiar to Burnaby and New West lacrosse fans.

On Aug. 21, the Stealth re-signed veteran Ilija Gajic and free agent Keegan Bal to one year agreements pending league approval.

Burnaby’s Gajic is coming off one of his most productive National Lacrosse League (NLL) seasons in 2015 scoring 11 goals and adding 17 assists for a total of 28 points. The six-year veteran also collected 87 loose balls and played in a variety of roles for the Stealth during the year. He was originally acquired by the Stealth from the Colorado Mammoth after the 2013 season.

Over his career Gajic has played in 86 regular season games scoring 45 goals and 61 assists, totalling 106 regular season points to go along with 529 loose balls.

“Ilija is coming off a strong season and we love

everything he brings to our roster. He can play defense, run transition and play offence and also brings incredible energy and commitment. We are looking forward to an even bigger year from him in 2016,” said Stealth president and general manager, Doug Locker.

Bal played his Junior A lacrosse for the New Westminster Salmonbellies putting up 57 points in 16 games in his final season. Bal just finished his third season with the senior Salmonbellies. A graduate of Lake Erie College, he was named the ECAC

Division II Offensive Player of the Year and established a school record with 80 points in his final year of eligibility. He was originally drafted in the third round (25th overall) by the Toronto Rock in the 2013 NLL Entry Draft but opted to pursue his Masters degree at the University of Durham in England.

“Keegan has had another really strong summer and has played extremely well in the post season this year. We have been very impressed and look for him to compete for a spot this coming season,” Locker said.

Stealth re-sign Gajic, add Bal

The Western Lacrosse Association recently handed out its 2015 league award winners and all-stars with several New West Salmonbellies and Burnaby Lakers among the winners.

Bellies goalie Eric Penney was named to the first all-star team as was defender Jeff Cornwall.

Lakers goalie Tye Belanger was named to the second all-star team as was forward Robert Church along with Bellies

defender Ian Hawksbee and forward Logan Schuss.

The Leo Nicholson Award for outstanding goalie was presented to Penney, while Penney was co-winner of the Ed Bailey Award for rookie of the year along with Anthony Malcom of the Langley Thunder.

The Fred Wooster Award for unsung hero was split between Lakers’ Jesse Fehr and Zack Porter from Maple Ridge.

Bellies, Lakers pick up awards

The New Westminster Twins had a tough go at the recent AA Western Canadian Baseball championships in St. Albert, Alta.

New West lost all four of its games against tough competition.

Game one was a 3-2 loss to the Olds

Spitfires from Alberta; game two was a 16-7 loss to the North East Red Sox from Saskatchewan; game three was an 11-4 loss to the Oak River Bearcats from Manitoba and the Twins lost 18-3 to the St. Albert Cardinals from Alberta in its final game.

The Oak River Bearcats won the title.

#throwbackthursday

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILEPeter Van Garderen, of the McBride-Sapperton Residents Association, shows a mock-up of one of 40 historic signposts the group proposed to mount at intections on arterial routes through the neighbourhood in 2006. Those routes included East Columbia, Richmond and Sherbrooke Streets.The project was funded by a $4,000 grant from the City of New Westminster.Van Garderen said the signs commemorate the important role Sapperton had in New Westminster’s emergence as a city. East Columbia is the oldest surveyed road in the province. Richmond Street starts at the location of the original Sappers’ camp, and Sherbrooke Street connects the upper and lower parts of the neighbourhood.“There’s a lot of new residents coming in that aren’t aware of this history,” said Van Garderen. “That’s part of the attraction of their neighbouhood.”But the area wasn’t the first in the city to erect historic signs above existing street signs, as Brow of the Hill and Moody Park have a similar program.

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 feature one #throwbackthursday in the NewsLeader.but there are more available on the Twitter feed @newsleaderfotog.
