The dust hasn’t even settled andalready New Westminster residents arevoicing their outrage with Port MetroVancouver’s decision to approve FraserSurrey Docks’ proposed coal transferproject.

Thursday morning Port MetroVancouver announced it had granted aproject permit to Fraser Surrey Docks fora $15-million direct coal transfer facilitythat will see four million metric tonnesof coal, mined in the United States, passthrough the docks in Surrey. From thelocal facility, directly across the river fromNew Westminster’s Quayside neighbour-hood, the coal will be shipped by barge toChina via Texada Island.

Quayside resident and vocal anti-coalactivist James Crosty was outraged whenThe Record reached him shortly after thedecision was made.

“It’s really disgusting,” he said. “Ican’t believe that they’ve ignored all ofthe processes that were put into place.”

Crosty was one of the leaders of ananti-coal petition, which was signed bynearly 25,000 people and to this day isstill gathering signatures.

“It’s just so typical to announce it in thesummer hoping that people will let it go,but there are 25,000 signatures opposed tothis in the Lower Mainland.”

The fight against the proposal has beenraging for nearly two years.

Cities including New Westminster,Delta and even Surrey openly opposedthe coal transfer facility, citing the pos-sible detrimental health impacts, whichthey said weren’t properly addressed inthe health impact assessment done earlierthis year.

Municipal leaders, including NewWestminster school trustees, called uponPort Metro to demand a more compre-

hensive assessment from Fraser SurreyDocks.

Council candidate Patrick Johnstonesaid he was disappointed in the decisionbut not surprised.

“Once the federal government decidedthey didn’t want todo a formal environ-mental assessmentof projects like this,I think the port justdid a cursory reviewthat was set up togrant approval,” hetold The Record.

Johnstone saidfacilities like FraserSurrey Docks are dis-regarding the munici-palities in which theyoperate and despiteclaiming they wereopen to public input,ignored an outpour-ing of opposition

against the project.New Westminster Environmental

Partners spokesperson Andrew Murrayagreed.

“The democratic model is broken. Ourdemocratically elected members of our

local governmentsare being bypassedby federal bodies thatare working from avery rigid ideologi-cally viewpoint ontrade, with no con-sideration for theimplications of globalclimate change,” hesaid. “That’s just fun-damentally wrong.”

Coal is not onlya contentious issueacross in the LowerMainland.

South of the bor-der, Oregon recentlydenied Ambre Energy

the permit it needed to build a similarfacility at Port Westward.

Speaking to Port Metro Vancouver’sdecision, Crosty, Johnstone and Murrayall agreed the possible environmental andhealth impacts aren’t worth the 25 jobsthe project will create.

But despite the disappointing decision,all three men are hope Metro Vancouver,which recently issued a ticket to FraserSurrey Docks for a poor air quality assess-ment, can stop it.

“They have to get a licence from MetroVancouver and they have taken MetroVancouver to court on that issue,” Crostysaid. “That certainly has to flow its waythrough the courts. I can’t imagine theywould be allowed to operate until that’scleared. At least that’s my hope.”

Murray echoed Crosty and said heis shocked at the arrogance of FraserSurrey Docks and Port Metro Vancouverto say the coal transfer facility wasn’trequired to adhere to bylaws laid out by

What do you do when you collecthundreds, if not thousands, of itemsover five decades and have no space

for them anymore?Open a museum.At least that’s what Ron Boorman of

Boorman Archery on East Columbia Streethas done.

Nestled inside his shop is a first-of-its-kindarchery museum, with artifacts dating back tothe early 1900s.

“I had a bunch of stuff all over the placeand pieces given to me by friends,” the 82-year-old said. “There was even a little oldlady who came in with a bow and arrow,just to put it in here. I don’t know where shecame from.”

When you first walk in, you notice a quilthanging on the wall. As a tribute to the manycompetitions Boorman has entered, his wifeSheila sewed some of his T-shirts together.

As you continue down that same wall,you’re taken through time. Whether it’s thecompound bow or the recurve bow, thereisn’t a moment of the sport’s evolution noton display. Other pieces include the exactbow seen in Blade: Trinity as well as the arrowLegolas used in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

On the back wall is Boorman’s most prizedpossession – a signed photograph taken ofthe 1992 Olympic opening ceremonies, whereathlete Antonio Rebollo shoots a flaming

arrow towards the cauldron and lights it.“I met Rebollo when I was in Vegas. He

signed it and the guy that made the arrow isa friend of mine so hesigned it too and gaveme one of the arrows.It was with that arrowwe opened the SummerGames in Chilliwack.”

Although a smallspace – 720 square feetto be exact – buildingthe museum was noeasy feat, according toBoorman’s daughterStephanie Smith.

“My son was begin-ning to wonder if I wasever going to comehome,” Smith said witha chuckle. “But theamount of history heregrows every day and it’sreally exciting.”

The project, which was designed and exe-cuted by Smith, took roughly three months tocomplete. Finishing touches, including get-ting placards for each piece, are still required.

Despite these small details however, Smithadmitted the most important section that hadto be built was the sitting area off to the rightof the room.

“It’s the place he can tell his stories. Peoplecome in just for those. We’ve had some leaveway past their dinner time.”

Boorman said films like The Hunger Gameshave increased the sport’s popularity amongwomen. Tabitha Dadson took one of his intro-

duction classes lastFebruary and hasbeen hooked eversince.

“Hunting is some-thing I’ve alwaysbeen interested in. Ilike the idea of killingsomething and theneating it, rather thangetting prepackagedmeat and not know-ing where it camefrom,” she said.

Growing up withthree brothers,Dadson added shenever thought ofarchery as gender-specific.

“This isn’t aboutstrength, it’s about technique. Half of myclass was female.”

Meanwhile, Smith predicted her familymight have to relocate if inventory continuesto grow.

“Ideally, we’d like to have the school, theshop and the museum all on one floor,” shesaid. “Not too sure when that will happenthough.”

A 36-year-old man found dead on thebank of the Fraser River Saturday eveningwas the victim of murder, police say.

The Integrated Homicide InvestigationTeam announced Tuesday it was takingover the investigation into the death ofChristian Klatt, whose body was foundnear Sapperton Landing at about 6:45 p.m.on Aug. 16.

Police say foul play was determinedthrough an autopsy but haven’t said howthe victim died or why.

“Currently the Integrated Homicide

Investigation Team has conduct (of thecase), and we are working closely withthe (New West police) to identify wit-nesses, persons of interest and determine amotive,” the release read.

Klatt’s murder is the first homicideof 2014 in the Royal City. Investigatorsbelieve he was homeless and living in amakeshift camp near where his body wasfound.

Last year, there were four homicidescommitted in New West. Karen Naborsand Jill Lyons were killed in their apart-ments in August 2013, and 19-year-oldKarim Meskine was beaten to death nearthe 22nd Street SkyTrain station.

“People are amazed bythe stuff they’re looking at.We’ve had customers fromall around the world. Justin the last month, therewere people from Swedenand Tokyo,” Boorman said.

Boorman Archery,which also operates aschool for adults and kids,

has been in the New Westcommunity since 1964.Archers like DorothyLidstone have gone on towin world championshipsand celebrities like JenniferGarner have trained therefor movie roles.

But at the end of theday, this not-yet-retiredlocal is motivated by onething.

“Simply put, I lovewhat I do.”

When a rail car loaded with crude oilcrashed and exploded in the centre ofa small Quebec town last summer, thecountry was riveted – and rightly hor-rified. The incident destroyed much ofdowntown Lac Mégantic andkilled 47 people.

It was, by damage and deathtoll, the worst rail accident inCanada’s history.

It was also, according to critics of thecountry’s rail system, a tragic spotlight onjust how destructive such an event canbe, despite its rarity.

It’s unusual that an accident has justone cause, and the recently releasedTransportation Safety Board report onthe Lac Mégantic disaster confirms thateverything from human error to mechan-

ical problems played into thecatastrophe.

But among the most damn-ing was their conclusion thatlax safety practices - by the

railway company itself, but also in fol-low-up and enforcement by TransportCanada – played a key role.

In New Westminster, the railway traf-

fic has largely been a source of conflictdue to noise and rumbling for residentsliving nearby.

But derailments are possible anywhere– yes, we’ve had some here, though luck-ily they’ve been benign in content and noone was injured – and the Lac Méganticreport has left us wondering why thepowers that be have left so much over-sight to the companies themselves.

The federal transportation ministertold media last week that, in terms ofrailway safety, “the government puts therules in place. The companies are expect-

ed to follow the rules.”That’d be a great way to manage

things for industries in which no humanlife or the environment is at potentialrisk or where profit over safety couldnever be a pressure. But transportation?Railways?

Direct, enforced oversight is critical,even if it costs us money to do it right.

One thing we know for certain is thatno investigation and no report – no mat-ter how thorough, how damning, howfull of recommendations for the future– can undo a disaster once it has occurred.

We’re reaping ‘benefits’of long-leash policy

Something changed in B.C. in2001 – and it wasn’t just thegovernment.

When Gordon Campbell andhis Liberals decided to makeB.C. more business and industryfriendly they had a vision of lessred tape, fewer regulations andless gov’t oversight of environ-mental standards.

The change in an entire modelof how government should, orwas, involved in environmentalregulations and oversight was nominor thing – although down-played by Liberals at the time.

I remember an interview inThe Record office with Campbellduring one of the campaignsas he brushed off my questionsabout the changes.

It was, he assured me, notnecessary to have all the red tapefrom decades before because suchstrides had been made in protect-ing the environment. He also saidthat companies and businessesresponded better to a ‘goal’model, instead of a punitive one.

Joyce Murray, then minister ofWater, Land and Air Protection(thankfully this ‘rebranding’ waslater dropped and the Ministryof Environment was reinstated)agreed with the new model.

The cynical journalist in mequestioned exactly why indus-try would be quick to meet‘expected’ regulatory standardsunder this new long-leash for-mula. While Campbell arguedthat it was in industry’s bestinterests to fully comply and beproactive I wondered if he reallybelieved what he was saying.Honestly, it’s all about money.And he of all people had to haveknown that. And what businessor industry doesn’t push the lim-its in an effort to squeeze moreprofits out of its enterprise? Andif an industry’s delay in meet-ing expected goals just draws anasty letter from some bureaucrat– well, heck, that’s not going tocut into the shareholders’ divi-dends. Jump forward nearly adecade later and one can now seethe impact of a lighter touch inenvironmental regulations andcompliance.

These kinder, gentler, lesspunitive environmental policiesallowed the B.C. governmentto dump a lot of professionalswho would have been doingregularly scheduled environ-mental and geotechnical apprais-als. Biologists, engineers – whoneeds them when the industriescan hire their own and give youreports?

The policy may seem minorwhen one goes through the scadsof changes wrought in environ-mental regulations during recentyears.

Mines in parks? No problem.Environmental assessments for

Protect our country’s health careDear Editor:

Seven years ago, I found out that I had breastcancer. I had surgery, chemotherapy, radiation andmany, many doctors’ appointments. I was scared,sure, my mom had died from it. But, I was neverafraid that I would become homeless, or that myson would go hungry. I didn’t have medical bills toworry about.

That’s because we have a public healthcaresystem for doctor and hospital care. It’s paid forthrough taxes, and it ensures that we all get medi-cally necessary doctor and hospital care based onneed, not on our individual ability to pay. We havelaws that protect our public health care system fromthose who want to make a profit off of our illnessand injury.

We don’t have to buy medical insurance for basic

medically necessary care like they do in the U.S.Insurance that only covers some of the costs of care.Many people in the U.S. go bankrupt from medicalcosts, the majority of these have medical insurance.Others just die when they can’t afford to seek medi-cal care.

We don’t want that kind of health care system inCanada. Where those with lots of money buy fasteraccess to health care, and the majority get poorerquality care, wait longer, and die more often.

But for-profit surgical clinic owner Brian Dayis trying to use our courts to strike down the lawsthat prevent a U.S.-style system in Canada. Thiscourt case poses a huge threat. And it begins in B.C.Supreme Court on Sept. 8.

If Dr. Day wins, the public system that people inCanada rely on, and overwhelmingly support, willbe further dismantled across the country.

natural gas producers inthe province? Who needsthem? Fish farms? It’s allgood.

Of course, compared tothe Conservatives’ guttingof federal environmentalregulations, the Liberalslook almost left of center.But it’s cold comfort forthose who care about theenvironment.

In the aftermath of the

Mount Polley tailing ponddisaster Energy and MinesMinister Bill Bennett said“this is not an issue of hav-ing enough inspectors onthe ground.”

He could be right. Atthis point it could be aboutanything.

But it is surely the prov-incial government’s respon-sibility.

When you remodel asystem to allow for the

speeders to push the limitsyou are responsible foraccidents that follow.

The government is justdarn lucky that there wereno people in the path of thePolley washout. This couldhave been about more thanmurdering the environ-ment it could have beenabout manslaughter.

Private hospitals and medical insurancewould be allowed, and the public systemwould be scaled down.

Dr. Day claims the defining principleat the heart of medicare in Canada – thathealth services be provided according to apatient’s need, not their ability to pay – isunconstitutional.

I believe he is saying that a rich person’sright to buy faster care and a doctor’s rightto make a profit are more important thanan average or poor person’s right to havequality healthcare.

Evidence shows that the kind of systemDr. Day wants would lead to longer waittimes for care and poorer health for mostof us. On top of that, there is NO evidencethat private, for-profit care results in bettercare – not anywhere in the world.

Are there problems that need to beaddressed in our public health care sys-tem? Absolutely, and there are manypublic innovations and efficiencies thatcan be implemented across the system todecrease wait times where needed and fur-ther improve quality of care. Let’s focus onstrengthening our treasured system, ratherthan replacing it with a U.S.-style systemthat would ultimately lead to poorer, moreexpensive care for all of us.

Economy relies on all of usDear Editor:

Port Metro Vancouver must be anoth-er privatization initiative by our Liberal

masters, like B.C. Ferries, Translink, B.C.Hydro, B.C. Parks, B.C. Medical, B.C.Lotteries, B.C. Forests, and no doubt oth-ers not as much in the public eye. Waste-to-energy incineration and Multi-MaterialB.C. privatize our waste stream, turningover our lucrative recoverable resources tocorporate control, maximizing waste, pol-lution, and our climate change impact.

Our taxes no longer pay for essentialservices at cost. Now we pay cost plus cor-porate profit-and lose our commons.

Liberal legislation establishes corporateboards (or contracts out) and gives themcontrol of our public services while main-taining the fiction that these are still crowncorporations or government entities. Thislets people blame government for risingprices, furthering cries for private ser-vices.

How many fishers, boaters andfloathome residents can afford a 300 per-cent increase in moorage? If they get ridof the people on the river, where can wego, and who can afford to replace those ofus using our river, and every waterfrontcommons? Do they imagine enough bil-lionaire foreigners to keep our economyhappening?

Low minimum wage and a rapaciouswelfare system escalate child poverty,homelessness, and social stress. Tax anduser fee increases, rising home prices – weall know the list – amplify economic pres-sure and social disorder.

Liberals and their corporate mastersdon’t seem to realize that pricing citizensout of existence puts their economies atrisk as well as ours.

A New West councillor is praising areport calling for stronger oversight byTransport Canada.

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said there hasto be a better way of auditing rail com-panies, including those operating in NewWestminster. He applauded the reportreleased Tuesday by the TransportationSafety Board about last year’s trainderailment in Lac-Mégantic, Que., whichconcluded 18 factors contributed to thetragedy, including a weak safety culture,gaps in training and Transport Canada’sfailure to keep a watchful eye.

“There has to be a better way of audit-ing how these safety performances arehappening and how the railways aredealing with looking at themselves,” saidPuchmayr, who chairs the city’s railwayadvisory panel. “The government needsto play a bigger role because in the lastfew years, it has deregulated the indus-try.”

Although skeptical an accident that sizewould happen in New West, Puchmayrsaid it never hurts to err on the side ofcaution.

“The fact we have four railwaysthrough our city, I think there would be areal efficiency if you had a bigger role byTransport Canada monitoring safety andinfrastructure,” he said. “I would rathergo to one source of information, ratherthan trying to get it from four.”

James Crosty is a longtime Quaysideresident and an active member on theQuayside Community Board. He arguedthe city could learn some lessons from thereport by using its railway advisory panelto negotiate protocols for his community.The panel was set up last year as part ofthe December 2008 settlement agreementbetween the board and the four rail com-panies. The agreement sought to reducenoise and vibrations produced by night-time operations in the rail yard adjacentto the Quayside neighbourhood.

“After years of saying to New Westresidents they would develop protocolsfor Quayside, we have heard nothing,nor has any consultation taken place foremergency response to any potential raildisaster,” he said.

Crosty added the derailment along

Quayside Drive this past June, when fivecars carrying grain came off the tracks,shows there’s potential for catastrophe.

“It could have easily gone onto theroad and taken out the bridge,” he said.“Nobody looked at the worst-case sce-nario. It was all a matter of smoothing itover. It should have been a wake-up calland it wasn’t.”

Crosty suggested the panel shouldtake advantage of their meetings withthe rail companies and discuss topicslike schedules and types of goods goingthrough.

“We sincerely hoped that consultationwould have taken place by now, espe-cially in light of a potential derailment inour community,” he said.

municipalities and Metro Vancouver.Murray told The Record in an earlier

interview: “The opposition will be thereevery step of the way. They don’t take intoconsideration the global impacts of export-ing thermal coal. We question what theend game is. The bigger issue is Port MetroVancouver. They cannot run ramshackleover democratically elected governmentsand the regional growth plans we spentyears putting together.”

According to a press release from FraserSurrey Docks, there was a significantamount of work done as part of the reviewprocess for the project, including environ-

mental impact reports, air quality reportsand human-health risk assessments alongwith the development of a “comprehen-sive” strategy for the logistics of the facil-ity.

“We take our obligation to the com-munity very seriously, as we have for over50 years. We understand our responsibil-ity and will deliver on our commitment toensure this project is operated safely andresponsibly,” Jeff Scott, president and CEOof Fraser Surrey Docks said in the release.

The project is set to start as soon as possi-ble with construction planning. Operationsat the new facility is expected to begin inthe fall of 2015.

LANGLEY FARM MARKETCORRECTION NOTICE

In the August 13th edition of The Record, the date range ofthe specials was incorrectly listed as

Wednesday, August 13th – Sunday, August 24th.The correct date range for the period of the specials advertised

is Wednesday, August 13th – Sunday, August 17th.We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The president of RoyalCity Youth Soccer Clubdoesn’t want a proposalto transform Queen’s ParkStadium into a dedicatedsoccer venueto pit baseballagainst soccer.

Respondingto a Recordreport, GuyCiprian sayshis organiza-tion would notsupport the pro-posal to bringthe Whitecapsfarm team to thestadium if NewWest Baseballwasn’t accom-modated else-where.

“If we feltthey were going to be leftwith hardship and the kidswere going to be hurt, wewouldn’t be supportingthis USL (United SoccerLeagues) project,” Cipriansaid.

The City of NewWestminster is looking intothe possibility of buildinga new baseball field eitherin Queen’s Park (behindthe Queen’s Park Stadium)

or in Upper Hume Park– a plan that doesn’t sitwell with baseball support-ers who want to remainin Queen’s Park and whoquestion the costs related tobringing in a United SoccerLeagues (USL) PRO fran-

chise.But the city

already has$1.2 to $2 mil-lion earmarkedfor Queen’sPark Stadiumupgrades,according toCiprian. (Citystaff couldn’tbe reached atpress time toconfirm.)

“Now thecity has a ten-ant that theycan recoup theircost, whereas

before it would be a taxpay-er expenditure,” he said.

The VancouverWhitecaps FC and the Cityof New Westminster signeda memorandum of under-standing marking theirintent to look into the feasi-bility of launching the teamin New West.

The addition of the USLteam will do a lot for soccerin the community, Ciprian

said.“It gives us a new soc-

cer-only facility, which willnot only heighten aware-ness of soccer in the citybut it’s going to give us …accessibility to more techni-cal support and mentorshipfor these kids,” he said.

Royal City Soccer hasbeen fighting for field spacefor years, he said, and notedthat not having the spacehas hurt the organization.

“What happens withlocal soccer players isbecause they can’t developthem the way other dis-tricts with more facilitiescan is that the young play-

ers eventually leave the cityto go elsewhere for devel-opment,” Ciprian said. “Byhaving a soccer-only pitch,we will be able to get morefield space to help developthe kids in the communi-ty.”

Royal City Soccer has1,200 young people regis-tered – making it one ofthe most popular outdoorsports in the city.

BringingintheWhitecapswill mean more resourcesfor the sport, which will beable to use the dedicated

soccer field when the USLteam isn’t playing on it. Itwill also mean more men-torship and technical sup-port for young New Westsoccer players, he said.

“We are going to haveplayers at a professionallevel that can spend timewith them,” Ciprian said.“It’s also good for the com-munity in the sense that weare now going to upgrade afacility that is in desperateneed of upgrading.”

But the local soccerpresident maintains that he

doesn’t want either socceror baseball to lose out.

“I don’t want this to bea war against soccer andbaseball because this affectsmany of the same kids,”he said. “I think the big-ger picture is what’s bestfor the community, and thateverybody will be accom-modated in the end.”

Meanwhile, New WestBaseball is holding an openhouse and info session atQueen’s Park Stadium onSunday, Aug. 24, from noonto 3 p.m.

Soccer community says it’s a win-win proposal

◗ IN THE COMMUNITYIn Arts: DragonDiva’s production on this weekend ◗P14Our Past: A look back at school supplies ◗P18

There are plenty ofspots to take a two-wheel cruise in New

West says a local cyclingenthusiast.

Andrew Feltham, amember of HUB (for-merly the Vancouver AreaCycling Coalition), offersup his ideas for outings tosuit every level of rider inthe city.

One of the best optionsfor new cyclists lookingfor flat terrain is along thescenic Fraser River.

The only downsideto the route is that thereisn’t a link between theWestminster Pier Parkand Sapperton landing,Feltham says.

“That’s a big chal-lenge. I don’t know whenthat’s going to be putthrough, but the connec-tion between SappertonLanding and the Braid(Street) industrial areais imminent,” says themember of HUB, a char-itable organization thatwas established in 1998as a non-profit to addresscycling issues in MetroVancouver.

Another good localspot to pedal through ison the Millennium Trail inQueen’s Park.

“That basically goesaround the perimeter ofthe park,” Feltham says.

For riders who arecomfortable with cruisingin a bit of traffic, he rec-ommends the crosstowngreenway along SeventhAvenue. The path leads tofun summer stops, such asthe Moody Park pool andAnny’s ice cream shop onSixth Street.

Another quality ride isthe London Street green-way, which goes from NewWestminster SecondarySchool through the city’swest end.

“It’s brand new. It’sabout a year old,” Felthamsays.

Most of thegreenwaysare on traf-fic-calmedstreets, andthe majorcrossingsof the busythoroughfareshave pushbuttons oroverpassesto help riderssafely getthrough.

The rideto Queens–borough isanother routeFeltham recommends.

“It’s quite safe andalmost pleasant,” Feltonlaughs, “so people may

still be daunted, but it’sreally quite safe.”

The biggest barriersfor riders inNew Westis knowingwhere to goand their lackof confidence,says Feltham.

Toimprove cyc-ling in NewWestminster,Felthamsays the cityshould com-plete cyclingnetworks.

“Theyneed to be …not shy about

dealing with safety – cer-tainly some intersectionsare more challenging thanothers. They’ve got to go

all of the way through andmake them safe for cyclistsand pedestrians,” he says.

One improvement he’dlike to see made is to thenew facilities on Londonand 20th streets.

The city did removeparking and made a separ-ated bike lane in the area,but the intersection putsriders at risk because thecity didn’t put the finalbarriers in that they needto make it a one-way streetinstead of a two-waystreet, Feltham says.

“Earlier in the year,there was a pedestrian hitthere,” he says, “and we’restill concerned that some-body is going to be ratracing and hit someone.

“They really need to gothe extra mile and reallymake it truly safe, and that

would make it a wonder-ful facility for riders.”

As for New West driv-ers, Feltham says he’sfound they are typicallyaccommodating to cyclists.

“Generally people whoare aggressive like that

don’t come from here.They come from some-where else,” he says.

With the many optionsfor safe, fun rides, there’sno reason not to go for acruise before summer ped-als away.

Seeking cycle fun in the city? Here it is

Just cruising: Kids go for a zip along the boardwalk at Westminster Pier Park. Andrew Feltham, below, a member of HUB (formerly the VancouverArea Cycling Coalition), offers up ideas for jaunts that suit every level of rider in New Westminster.

Usually, the consum-mation of a marriage isbetween a bride andgroom, but a hilarious ren-dition of a Mozart clas-sic is retelling how thingswere a bit different in earlymodern Europe.

DragonDiva, a NewWestminster-based theatrecompany, is tak-ing on the pro-lific composer’sThe Marriage ofFigaro, a comicopera about thewedding of amaid and butlerwhose master issort of a thirdwheel.

“It’s actu-ally a verycomplicatedplot – it centresaround a countand countessand their per-sonal servants,Figaro andSusanna,” saidmusic directorJohn Arsenault.“Essentially,because of anold law, the master of thehouse had the right tosleep with the bride onher wedding night, so thecount wants to do this withSusanna.”

But, seeing as this isa comedy, nothing goesaccording to plan for thecount as Susanna andFigaro do everything theycan to trick him.

While the four-act pro-duction has stood the testof time for more than 225years, Arsenault wantedto put his own spin onthe classic tale. Instead ofsetting it in 1700s Europewhere it originated, hedecided to set it in Indiawithout any particular

timeframe.“We’ve always done

things with a bit of atwist,” he said, referenc-ing DragonDiva’s 2011 ste-ampunk version of H.M.S.Pinafore. “We wanted to dosomething a little differ-ent, rather than what allthe other opera companieswe’re doing.”

While it’s not necessari-ly set in modern day India,

part of the rea-son for chang-ing the locationwas because ofthe country’sclass system.

“This operais partiallyabout thediffer-ence betweenthe classes,”said Arsenault.“When thisopera was firstperformedin France, itcaused quitea stir with thearistocracy –they were quiteupset that thisopera showedthe servantsoutwitting andoutsmarting

their aristocratic bosses.”“It’s a beautiful story

and a lot of the scenesare sort of timeless, butit would never happentoday in a lot of parts ofthe world. But India’s aplace still in our modernworld where classes verymuch exist.”

The opera is set over thecourse of a single day, butit’s still a lengthy produc-tion. The show containsmore than 20 songs andruns about two and a halfhours.

“The Act 2 finale itselfis about 40 minutes long,”he said with a laugh. “It’s avery, very long opera.”

The opera stars Henry

Chen as Figaro and KatrinPömmerl as Susanna, withmany other actors makingup the 15-member cast.

The show opened inVancouver with two showsat Yaletown’s RoundhouseCommunity Centre lastweekend. They also havethree shows at Coquitlam’sEvergreen Cultural Centre,with two 8 p.m. perfor-mances on Aug. 22 and 23,and a 2 p.m. matinée onAug. 24.

Tickets are $25 and areavailable at the door oronline at dragondiva.org/upcoming.

Without gettinginto the educa-tional dispute in

B.C., it is the time of yearwhen we are inundatedwith advertisements, pro-motions and lots of com-mentary on back-to-schoolneeds.

Our mailboxes havehad numerous flyers overthe last several weeks,all pushing the currentrequirements for startingthe upcoming school year.

Today, these “require-ments” are far broader inscope than what manyfolks grew up with andseem, at times, to be sim-ply another catalogueof things related to day-to-day living, not just toschool. Stationery andoffice equipment storeshave been featuring largedisplays of multiple-pagelists indicating specificitems needed.

For many people,especially those who area little older and whogrew up in the LowerMainland, one store’s back-to-school events stand out– Woodward’s DepartmentStore. There were manyothers, of course, but thisone led the way.

There were alwaysback-to-school hints earlyin the summer, but theWoodward’s late summer$1.49 Day was massive forstudents and their parents.It was a scene of organizedchaos in which, school sup-ply lists in hand, studentsgathered up the neces-sary goods, some withthe Woodward’s nameattached – especially thecoveted blue and whitepencil boxes.

In the decades priorto the Woodward’sexample, back-to-schoolwas sometimes referredto, but not nearly in thesame way or frequency.Some of the shops thatprominently featured sea-sonal items for Christmas,Easter, Thanksgiving andHalloween also pointedout what they had for thelocal “scholars.”

Some of the items we

see in their advertisementsinclude notebooks, diariesand ledgers, pencils, foun-tain pens, straight pens,pen nibs and ink, art anddrafting supplies, folders,binders and brief cases.Even though required text-books were supplied by theschools, the stores notedthat they had selections ofatlases, dictionaries, alma-nacs and encyclopaedias.

When people reminisceabout picking up schoolsupplies, they remembermany different things con-nected to various grades.Pencils were mainly HB(the standard), and nothingharder unless you neededthem for drafting.

Now about the ballpointpen. Well, in the ’50s, itwas a relatively new itemand wasn’t allowed in localschools until around 1958.Many people rememberbeing told when they couldbring them to school. Somewill recall the straightpen and nib and the deskinkwell, especially for writ-ing class. So many thingsconnected to memories ofback-to-school and we’vetouched only a few. Nodoubt you will have yourown favourites.

B.C.pips

East inmidgetseries


There is no gold medalto play for, but beatingOntario 6-3 in Game 3 of afive-game series is rewardenough.

“It says we pretty much(are the best in Canada),”said Team B.C. midgetlacrosse runner MackenzieBurns of Burnaby. “I thinkit’s the first time (B.C.) hasever won.”

B.C. opened the serieslast Sunday with a 10-2victory in Coquitlam andfollowed up the win witha narrow 4-3 triumph atQueen’s Park on Monday.

OnTuesday,B.C. sur-renderedan earlyone-goallead but

ended the first periodwith a three-goal to run,including go-ahead goalsfrom Dennon Armstrongand Reid Bowering ofCoquitlam.

Port Coquitlam runnerClark Walter put the hostsahead 4-1 on a power-playgoal, but Ontario replied,closing the deficit to 4-3heading into the final per-iod.

In the third, Tavin Grantof Burnaby, who finishedthe game with three assists,set up both Jack Kendalland Jacob Campbell ofJuan de Fuca for back-to-back goals to ice the winand the series for B.C.

Team B.C. outshotOntario 34-28 in Game 3.

Earlier this month, B.C.ran away with its firstmidget national champion-ship title without Ontarioand the Iroquois Nation inattendance.

“I think that is why wewere so successful thisyear. We were not just alloffence,” said Burns of theteam’s overall balancedlineup.

Ontario’s box lacrosseteam missed the nationalsbecause of a commitmentto its province’s SummerGames.

The five-game series willwind up tonight (Friday)in Langley, beginning at 6p.m.

Emma Regan receivedan added reward follow-ing Canada’s title win atthe inaugural CONCACAFunder-15 girls’ soccerchampionships.

The converted Burnabymidfielder was named tothe tournament all-starteam following Canada’s4-1 shootout win over Haitilast Sunday.

The 14-year-oldMountain United FC prod-uct was groomed as adefender for the continentalregion championship, butwas left out of the startinglineup for Canada’s open-

ing 5-0 win over PuertoRico on Aug. 7.

“It motivated me to workeven harder,”said the Grade9 BurnabyC e n t r a lSecondary stu-dent. “WhenI didn’t seemyself on thestarting list, Ifigured I had towork 10 timesharder.”

She did,starting in all of Canada’sremaining five games andplaying so well the coach-ing staff kept her on thepitch for all but the finalfive minutes of Canada’s

1-1 draw with Haiti in thegroup stage.

“Every game I think Igot better,”said Regan. “Ithought it wasa great resultfor us to be puttogether andwin the wholetournament. Itwas amazing.”

Now Reganhas her sightson bigger goals.

“My nextthing is the u-17 WorldCup in Jordan, … It’s agreat experience to repre-sent Canada. If I can do itagain, I will, of course,”she said.
