Cat attacks city realtorProvincesupportstwo lanes

The Ministry of Transportationhas agreed to lend the City of NewWestminster a temporary replace-ment for the Bailey bridge – but onlyif the city installs a second lane at thesite to allow for “crucial” two-waytraffic flow.

While Coquitlam has been press-ing for a two-lane crossing at thelocation of the current Bailey bridge,New Westminster wants it limited toone lane because of gridlock in theBrunette and Braid area. The matterwill be considered by an arbitrator.

Transportation Minister ToddStone has informed the city that min-istry staff have reviewed the site anddetermined it’s possible to install asecond single-lane temporary bridgeat this location. He said this wouldrepresent a significant interim safetyand mobility improvement for driv-ers in the area until a more perma-nent crossing is implemented.

Stone told The Record the ministryhas two Bailey bridges in its inven-tory and it’s willing to lend them tothe City of New Westminster for anindefinite period of time. He saidhe’s not prepared to participate in aone-lane temporary solution.

Wounded: Bryn Erin Ward shows some of the scratches, bites and bruises that shewas left with after an encounter with a cat at a house she was showing.

Bryn Erin Ward is hoping she won’t be castin Scarface when the bruises and scratches she’ssporting today fade away.

Ward, an actress who now works as a realtor,was showing a house in New Westminster onTuesday when she and her client were mauledby a cat.

“It was certainly a catfight that I didn’t win,”she told The Record Wednesday.

One of Ward’s clients escaped unharmed inthe unprovoked attack, but the other neededmedical attention at the hospital.

When New Westminster’s JessicaHenderson became a mom for thefirst time almost two years ago, her

joy was mixed with anxiety.Her daughter Aria White was born three

months premature, weighing only about twoand a half pounds.

“Being a premature parent, it’s not a clubyou want to join,” Henderson said. “It’sscary.”

But little Aria had one advantage overmany of the other premature babies in theRoyal Columbian Hospital neonatal intensive-care unit (NICU) at the time – mother’s milk.

Even though she was too little to latch, shenever had to go without breast milk becauseit turned out her mom was a bit of a prodigywith a breast pump.

“I eventually filled the NICU freezer,”Henderson said with a laugh.

For her, it was a revelation that not all theother moms around her could do the same.

“I was completely naive about breastfeed-ing,” she said. “I thought all moms couldbreastfeed, and I thought it was a choice. Ilearned very quickly that, no, some moms thatwanted to breastfeed couldn’t.”

Watching other moms struggle to pumpenough milk for their fragile new babiesinspired Henderson to become a donor anddonate more than 2,000 millilitres of precious

milk before she stopped nursing in December2012.

Those donations likely made the differencebetween life and death for someone else’s pre-mature baby, according to Sidney Harper, leadnurse of the Fraser Health Authorities BabyFriendly Initiative project.

“These little babies, who are so prone topneumonias and to gut infections and to sep-sis, really do significantly better when they’rekept away from formula and are given humanmilk,” she said.

She pointed to studies that showNecrotizing enterocolitis, a devastating boweldisease, is 79 per cent less likely to develop inpremature babies fed human milk than thosefed formula.

“We’re really starting to learn that babiesdo better when they’re not exposed to artificialmilks, rather they do better when they’re fedhuman milk,” Harper said.

To make it easier for milk-gifted moms likeHenderson to step into the breach for momswho can’t produce enough, Fraser Healthplans to open collection depots in all 18 of itshealth units. Thirteen are already up and run-ning.

The new Burnaby depot, which openedin March, has already collected more than 25litres.

All the milk, from women who’ve beenscreened much like blood donors, is sent toB.C. Women’s hospital where it is pooled, pro-cessed and pasteurized.

In the past, almost all of the milk was usedat B.C. Women’s, but Fraser Health is work-ing on a partnership with the Vancouverhospital that would see some of it returned foruse at the local health authority’s two level-three NICUs, at Royal Columbian and SurreyMemorial, where the region’s sickest babiesare cared for.

Pilot projects have already seen smallquantities of human donor milk dispensed atChilliwack General in 2012 and Maple Ridgein 2013.

“Those were our first forays into dispens-ing milk, so that we could learn as much aswe could learn before we started working inour big, more complex NICUs in our biggerhospital.”

Harper had expected the dispensaries atRoyal Columbian and Surrey to be up andrunning by February or March, but she saidthe project has run into some “legal loopholes”that need to be closed before it can go ahead.

“The more milk received at Fraser Healthdonor human milk collection depots, thegreater the opportunity for moms and babiesacross Fraser Health to benefit,” Harper said.

For Henderson, who has seen her ownbreast-milk-fed preemie grow into a robustand active toddler, it’s just the right thing todo.

“It’s a really beautiful thing because you’regiving something that your body is makingfor love for your child and you’re giving thatto another’s child,” she said.

A $15-million container recy-cling facility is coming to NewWestminster, and Multi-MaterialB.C. says it will bring prosperity tothe city.

The 179,000-square-foot facility isset to open in 2015 on Gifford Streetin Queensborough.

Multi-Material B.C. has chosenGreen By Nature, a partnershipbetween Cascades Recovery Inc.,Emterra Environmental and MerlinPlastics, to manage operations.

When the facility was firstannounced, Green By Nature wasreluctant to provide details on thelocation, but The Record has learnedthe facility will be on an existingsite in Queensborough across thestreet from the Starlight Casino.“The owner of the site just wantsto make sure everything is good togo,” Vivian Leung, vice-president ofcorporate administration for GreenBy Nature, confirmed.

At this time there is no timelinefor when construction will begin, asGreen By Nature is still finalizingthe purchase. Once it’s complete,

Green By Nature would begin hiringworkers.

“It will be a brand-new facility,not a relocation of a facility, so therewill be both skilled and unskilledjobs that are going to be employedthere and also a number of jobs dur-ing the construction phase and alsolong-term positions,” Leung says.

When the facility opens next year,Leung says Green By Nature intendsto work with local recycling compa-nies, including New Westminster’sUrban Impact.

“They (Urban Impact) are goingto be working with our company ina recycling capacity. Exactly whatthat capacity is hasn’t been finalizedyet so I can’t say too much, unfortu-nately,” she says.

But Nicole Stefenelli, UrbanImpact’s founder and CEO, saysshe hasn’t spoken with anyone fromGreen By Nature.

“We’re not in partnership. There’sthree companies that are actingtogether in partnership – Merlin,Cascades and Emterra,” she says.“They will probably be using othercompanies to subcontract services.”

Stefenelli wouldn’t comment fur-ther but stressed she hadn’t spoken

to Leung or Green By Nature.The facility’s impact on truck traf-

fic is another concern, but Leungsays Green By Nature is very awareof the issue and will do everything itcan to reduce its impact.

“We have a handful of measuresthat we’re going to be putting inplace to manage that truck trafficand logistics. Instead of small trucksgoing to the facility, we’re goingto be using a number of smallerlocations throughout the province tokind of consolidate the materials sothat things are compacted and bailedso you can put more into long-haultrailers rather than having a lot oftrucks coming in,” she says.

Leung adds that Green By Naturedoes not want its trucks sitting intraffic for long periods of time. Toensure this doesn’t happen, thecompany will be running its trucksthrough New Westminster duringoff-peak hours to avoid the conges-tion.

“Travel costs are things that wehave to bear as costs as well, soit doesn’t make sense for us to bewanting to sit in traffic; that justworks out bad for everybody,” sheadds.

Greener future?: A new recycling facility is coming to Queensborough. The company has chosen an existing site atthe foot of Gifford Street in Queensborough (pictured) for the 179,000 square foot facility, set to open in 2015.

Not everybody in New West is following the “noglass in blue bins” rule.

In its 2014 recycling schedule, the city advised resi-dents not to put glass in their recycling bins.

“It has a tendency to break,” said Kristian Davis,the city’s supervisor of solid waste and recycling. “Itreduces the value of other recyclables and makes itmore difficult to recycle them appropriately. It alsoreduces the value of other fibres.”

The request that residents not put glass into theircurbside collection bins took effect Jan. 1 – but Davissaid the city isn’t penalizing those who haven’t com-plied.

“It’s been a soft implementation for us,” Davis said.“We are not forcing anything. We are not tagging binsor anything like that.”

The city’s recycling depot accepts glass.“It will still continue to collect glass,” Davis said.

“We get all sorts of glass there.”– Theresa McManus

mine,” he said. “The conclusionI came to in terms of what is inthe best interests of the healthand safety of people who live inthe region, I am mostly referringto the ability of people to get toRoyal Columbian in a timely fash-ion, coupled with how importantthat corridor is from a commuter’sperspective and a goods move-ment perspective – the province isjust not willing to participate in aplan that involves replacing a one-lane Bailey bridge with a one-laneBailey bridge.”

Stone said the province is put-ting a proposal on the table that’s a“tremendously good deal” for thepeople of New Westminster as it’sputting $2 million in value on thetable for two temporary bridges.He said New Westminster won’thave to pay any costs related tothe second crossing, as Coquitlamhas offered to contribute up to

$800,000 towards those costs.“We believe that the appropri-

ate solution for this corridor is atwo-lane bridge. The arbitrationwill determine whether the long-term solution is to be one lane ortwo lanes. That arbitration pro-cess will continue,” he said. “NewWest doesn’t have to accept ouroffer here. If they don’t, then theycan proceed accordingly with analternative solution, which wouldbe the acquisition of a Baileybridge from some other source,at a cost to the taxpayer, and theycan explain to their taxpayers whythey are saying no to $2 millionworth of infrastructure, albeit froma temporary perspective while thearbitration continues.”

Lois-Leah Goodwin has beenappointed as the arbitrator whowill be ruling on the matter ofwhether a two- or multi-lane cross-ing is appropriate for the site.

“The arbitration process will

continue. The arbitration processmay take a considerable amountof time – three, six, nine months,”Stone said. “There are a num-ber of different steps in thearbitration process. … It’snot entirely clear how longthat arbitration process willcontinue. Again, it’s totallyup to New West. Nobodyis forcing this on them. Myjob is to ensure the safemovement of people andgoods through our trans-portation corridors in theprovince. When I look attraffic analysis on this cor-ridor, this corridor shouldhave had a two-lane bridgeinstalled years ago. Remember itwas the City of New Westminster,which turned its back on over$60 million in federal funding fora proper two-lane bridge to beinstalled.”

Stone believes anyone who

looks at this with common sensein mind will see that having twolanes on either side of the cross-ing lead to a one-lane alternat-

ing bridge “makes nosense” and is going tocause a bottleneck. Hedoesn’t believe that put-ting two lanes in the areawill increase traffic in theBraid and Brunette area.

“At the end of the dayNew Westminster is inthe heart of the LowerMainland with a criti-cal transportation hub,”he said. “You have oneof the most importantregional hospitals in the

city of New Westminster that thepeople of the region need to haveconfidence they can safely andquickly get to. From the safety ofmovement of people and goods,this corridor more than warrantsa two-lane bridge to manage the

volume of traffic that is alreadymoving through it.”

Mayor Wayne Wright said it’s“more than a red herring” to sug-gest that two lanes are needed sopeople can safely access RoyalColumbian Hospital. He said thecity has been firm in its supportfor a one-lane crossing because thebridge leads to the Brunette andBraid area that is overrun withtraffic and the congested railwaycorridor.

Wright was surprised to learnthe province would only lendthe city a temporary crossing ifit agreed to a second crossing, asthat was something the provincehad never proposed as a conditionin the past. While the minister sup-ports a two-lane crossing throughthe area, he hopes the city will beable to get a “good hearing” andhave an arbitrator who is willingto listen to the facts and considerengineering and safety.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper can’tseem to buy a win in the courts thesedays.

His bid to reform the Senate withoutthe support of the provinces, the case tohave Vancouver’s supervisedinjection facility Insite shutdown, his fight to preserveCanada’s prostitution laws,his attempt to appoint MarcNadon to the highest court, and piecesof his tough-on-crime legislation beyondcount have all been crushed under judg-

es’ gavels. Like a fly repeatedly bouncingoff a window, the PM has been slowto learn that the Charter of Rights andFreedoms is the supreme law of the land.

So it’s understandable, though notexcusable, that his frustra-tion boiled over into a PMOpress release casting asper-sion on Supreme Court ofCanada Chief Justice Beverley

McLachlin last week.Harper and Justice Minister Peter

Mackay are now being raked over the

coals by the Opposition, law professors,the Canadian Bar Association, and edi-torial boards across the country for lash-ing out. And rightly so.

McLachlin and the courts were onlydoing their jobs. And with the primeminister’s reputation as an ideologueand leader with little interest in theconstitutional limits of his power, it ismore important than ever that we havea robust, unflinching branch of govern-ment willing to assert its independenceand put a check on executive’s power.

Harper seems to have a U.S. model ofgovernment in mind whenever he getshimself into a new mess. Perhaps, it’stime for him to remember what countryhe is in.

Prime ministers and their govern-ments come and go – even Harper’sConservatives. The role of our laws andcourts is to make sure the institutionsand foundations the country is builton aren’t legislated away by just 155whipped MPs.

Holding on to themoments that matter

I’ve caught myself lately,when hugging my son,squeezing a little tighter than

normal, pressing my cheek tohis a little longer. I catch myselfwhispering “Mommy loves youvery much. You make my heartvery, very happy” against histemple, kissing his forehead asecond or third time before I lethim go play. At bedtime, whenhe throws his long six-year-oldarm over my neck, I force mybrain to slow, slow, slow andabsorb the feeling of it, the solidlovely weight of his small bonesagainst me.

It’s suddenly very clear to methat these days are ending. Thesedays of endless hugs and kisses,of wanting to hold my handthe second he comes out of theschool door, of wanting to climbinto bed for a cuddle, are wind-ing down.

Being a parent means alwaysevolving into the next stage, thenew thing, and realizing thatit is as thrilling and interestingand funny and amazing as whatcame before. But time, as theysay, certainly flies.

I wish that I could say I wasthe mom who relished everymoment of my children’s lives

from the second they were born.It would be a lie to claim it. I’mpretty sure I didn’t even relishevery single moment of today(though today was pretty awe-some, all around).

It’s enough to say, to myshame – because I’d reallybelieved otherwise all those longmonths as he grew inside me– that motherhood did not comenaturally to me. Motherhood, Isuspect, does not come naturallyto a great many people. Butwe’re not meant to talk aboutthat, so we don’t.

Mothering an infant is likedoing highway constructionwork during a heat wave:sweaty, gruelling, mind-numb-ing, deeply exhausting, physi-cally draining and largely thank-less. Except in this case, there’sno such thing as quitting time(a cold beer at day’s end wouldgo a long way but, oddly, peopletend to frown on that).

It’s hard work, plain andsimple.

But the good stuff – oh,it’s good. You know the goodmoments when you see them:they sparkle like tiny diamonds.They make your heart pitter-pat-ter, they make happy tears prickat your eyes, they make you go“yes, yes, see, this parent thingis going to work out. I haven’tscrewed it up completely.”

Like when your child presseshis hand into yours, squirmyand damp and so delicate, like ababy bird snuggling up againstyour palm, and you feel the

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Rain didn’t stop Jane’s WalksDear Editor:

My thanks to everyone who helped make lastweekend’s Jane’s Walk a successful communityevent. Couldn’t have done it without the enthusi-astic New Westminster participants, instigators andwalk leaders.

Special thanks, too, to both The Record and theNewsLeader, who gave the event good coverage, andto the New Westminster Public Library, which did agreat job of spreading the word.

The weather didn’t cooperate, but over 120people got into their rain gear for the 12 NewWestminster walks.

By Sunday afternoon, when the last 90-min-ute walk was scheduled, the rain had become animpressive, unceasing downpour. But off we went,five adults, five kids and one old dog, wandering

through the West End. It was a pleasure. See you atJane’s Walk next year!

Teachers expect too muchDear Editor:

As of today, the governments in the provincesof B.C., Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundlandand Prince Edward Island are working on contractnegotiations with the teachers. No signed contractsin force presently. Teacher contracts are a hard sellin all 10 provinces.

Alberta’s present contract, ending in 2015, is afour-year contract, with three years of frozen wagesand a two per cent raise and a cash bonus in thefourth year. Saskatchewan’s last contract, ending in2013, was a four-year contract with a 5.5 per cent

wage increase. Manitoba’s last contract,ending in 2013, was a four-year contractwith a 7.5 per cent wage increase.

Ontario’s present contract, ending in2014, is a two-year contract with frozenwages.

Quebec’s present contract ending in2015, is a five-year contract, with a 5.6 percent wage increase.

Nova Scotia’s present contract endingin 2015, is a three-year contract with a 5.5per cent wage increase. Newfoundland’slast contract, ending in 2012, was a four-year contract with a wage increase of fiveper cent.

Prince Edward Island’s last contract,ending in 2013, was a two-year contractwith frozen wages. New Brunswick’s pres-ent contract, ending in 2016, is a four-yearcontract with a wage increase of four percent.

Here in B.C., the government is offer-

ing the teachers a 10-year contract, with a7.25 per cent wage increase over the firstsix years, with further open wage negotia-tions, in written form, after six years on theremaining four years.

Not good enough for B.C. teachers.They want a wage increase of 13.5 per centover a three-year contract.

Not good enough for the B.C. taxpayer.The average B.C. teacher wage is $89,624per year ($70,624 in wages and $18,000 intaxpayer funded benefits).

The B.C. taxpayer also contributes 16.13per cent of teacher wages to the B.C. teach-ers’ pension fund.

All in all, a very generous salary andbenefit package when teachers only haveto work 188 days per year in relation toother taxpayers in the non-teaching pro-fession that have to work 238 days peryear.

Completely outrageous wage demandsin comparison to what teachers have nego-tiated in the other nine provinces.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

fierceness of your loverush through you andyou have to hold yourselfback from squeezing tootightly because you justwant to hold on to this onebubbling moment; whenhe flings his long, lankysix-year-old arm overyour neck as you lay nextto him at bedtime and hesays, in a voice too loudfor bedtime (as usual),“Mama, I love you. You’rethe best mama in the uni-verse.”

Yes. I’ll collect up thesetreasures, these little dropsin time, and store them upinside, keep them for later.

One day not all thatlong ago, he told me to“Go, go, Mama!” andwaved me back to the carwhen I brought him to the

second day of skateboardcamp. Soon, he won’trush to take my hand ashe rushes from the schooldoors – he’ll wait, maybe,until we’re out of sightof friends. Or until we’rehome.

And in a few years,when I look for hugs andkisses, he’ll want to brushme off. “Mom! Enough!”he’ll say. He’ll have friendsto play with, books thatneed reading, video gamesto figure out, homeworkto do.

And that’s good. That’slife. That’s the way it’ssupposed to be. I wouldnot wish to keep my chil-dren the same age – par-enting small children ishard work, harder workthan I care to do indefi-nitely, and I love that each

passing day brings newgrowth and independence.

Still, I know right nowthat, in that moment whenhe turns away, I will cravehis little baby bird hand inmine with a terrible inten-sity.

Lately, when I catchmyself hugging him a littlelonger, or pressing myforehead to his, I suspectI’m trying to memorize theway it feels so that whenthe moment comes, I canbring it to mind again. I’msoaking him up, so I’mready for the dry season.

THE RECORD STORY: Budget numbers don’t say how many liveswill change – April 30Facebook I Dave Lundy: Well if Wayne hadn’t gone riverboat gambler on the Herit-age Square tower at Anvil Center and not lost $19.5 million of taxpayers money thecity could have given a grant to the school board to cover the cost of night schoolprograms. But instead we are all left holding the bag for Wayne’s ego and “his”council’s willingness to go along with his take it or leave it office tower or bust men-tality.Facebook I Trish Webster: I am more concerned about the young people thatneed extra credits to graduate. My daughter had to take a night school class toget enough credits for graduation with her friends, otherwise it would have beenanother year.Facebook I Trish Webster: The woman that was mentioned in the article LIVES inBurnaby!!! She was devastated that New West School district cancelled her ESLcourse. Why was she not taking her ESL in Burnaby? And as an immigrant workingin Canada, why did she not have a command of English (or French) before cominghere and applying for work that required her to know the language?

The first part of her life was spent inlittle mining towns in the UnitedStates.

Kathy Brandon was born in Silver City,New Mexico and grew up in Silver Valley,Idaho, where her father mined silver forthe Sunshine Silver Mine.

“I really think I was destined to forgesilver into wearable art,” Brandon says.

“I’ve kind ofgot silver in myblood.”

Her passionfor the preciousmetal has nowculminatedin a businessshe recentlyopened, calledWorkingsilver.

Brandon’s new store, located near theBrewery District in Sapperton, is a retailoutlet that sells silver, stones, suppliesand tools for crafting jewelry. The spacealso includes a studio for classes she isoffering on the art of jewelry making.

Brandon took up jewelry making as ahobby about 12 years ago. (Locally, Brick& Mortar Living, located downtown, sellsBrandon’s creations.) In her 50s at thetime, Brandon, who worked as a clinicalsocial worker for 25 years, had alwaysliked working with her hands. When shestarted tinkering with silver and creatingwearable art, she became “infected” by it.

She kept taking classes, developing herskills and went from there.

Her passion really took off when shelived on Gabriola Island for three years.Her crafting flourished in the artisticisland community, and she started hersilver-supply business – developing anecommerce website where she sold hergoods.

When Brandon and her husbandmoved back to the Lower Mainland, theypicked New West because they wanted

to be in an urban area. They bought acondo in downtown New West (“Love it,”Brandon says) and have settled into life intheir new home, though Brandon admitssetting up the business has kept her busy.

“It’s been a marathon. I’ve been work-

ing on it for about four months, andpeople say, ‘Wow, that’s really good forstarting a new business,’” she says.

Classes at Workingsilver startedon April 10, and include BeginnerSilversmithing, Bangles, Enamelling on

Copper, Surface Techniques, Prong SetRing, Spinner Ring, Watercoast Pendantand Chain Making.

Visit workingsilver.com for more infor-mation on upcoming classes. The store isat 102-131 East Columbia St.

Organizers of three commu-nity-based projects learned todaythey will receive a $2,000 boost.

The River Market and Donald’sMarket announced the ONE Prizewinners, including a project thatboosts youth training in the tradesand two others that help seniorssocialize.

Hammer and Saw was found-ed by two technical educationteachers, who are committed toempowering youth through skillstraining and community engage-

ment. Through the group, 10 NewWestminster youth will designand build a project they identifyas a community need, accordingto a media release.

The other two winners aregroups that help seniors interactwith the community. Seniors OutN’ About is a Seniors ServicesSociety program that preventssenior isolation in the commu-nity through organized outings.Seniors to the Market ShuttleProgram, proposed by the Royal

City Farmers Market, providesseniors door-to-door services tothe farmers’ market.

“This year, we reserved one ofthe three prizes for a project thatencourages greater social inclu-sion and community engagementfor seniors,” River Market ONEproject lead Leslie Shieh said inthe release. “It was great to seethat two projects that sought tostrengthen seniors’ inclusivitywere among the top three projectschosen by ONE members.”

Nineteen organizations sub-mitted to this year’s ONE Prizegrant. A jury narrowed the field,and over the past two weeks,ONE members voted for the win-ners.

The grant program is a jointeffort between the River Marketand Donald’s Market. Customers,who sign up and use their ONEkeytagwhentheyshopatDonald’sMarket New Westminster, helpfundraise for the local causes.When ONE members shop at

Donald’s, the grocery store con-tributes one per cent of every dol-lar they spend to the communityfund. This year, the fund offered$6,000 in prize money.

To contribute to the ONE Prizefund, shoppers can sign up and gettheir keytag through a Donald’sMarket cashier at River Market.Members also benefit from ONEPrize perks, including discountsat River Market businesses. Seerivermarket.ca/about/one.

The Seniors ServicesSociety is scramblingto find new volun-

teer drivers for its Mealson Wheels program.

Every single weekday,in a small parking lot inNew Westminster, a groupof community membersmeets to organize thedelivery of meals to house-bound and frail seniors.With over 45 meals todeliver each day, it cantake some quick organiza-tion and resourcefulness toensure each one reaches itsimportant destination.

Seniors ServicesSociety’s Meals on Wheelsprogram has been meetingthe needs of vulnerableNew Westminster seniorsfor over 25 years, anddedicated volunteers arethe key to the program’ssuccess. With the growingneed for the service, thesociety is actively recruit-ing new volunteers to jointhe team.

“We are getting newrequests for our Meals on

Wheels service every day.The program has a greatreputation, and seniorsand their family mem-bers know that they cantrust that the meal theyreceive will be deliveredwith a smile and a kindword. Often a warm hug,”said Hayley Sinclair, thesociety’s coordinator ofvolunteer programs. “Notonly that, but the food isdelicious, balanced andwell-made.”

In the fall of 1863, uponthe dissolution of theColumbia Detachment

of Royal Engineers, NewWestminster witnessed theformation of its own militiagroup.

This group, overthe following decades,evolved into The RoyalWestminster Regiment oftoday. And in the spring of1864, the new group, NewWestminster VolunteerRifles Company No. 1,was involved in the festiv-ities and salute of its firstVictoria Day. The news-paper account of the 1864event shows that it wastruly something special.

“Yesterday was indeeda great day in the capital.Hitherto the colonists have,under a cloud and withoutany encouragement fromthose in high places, beenwont to celebrate as bestthey could the anniversaryof the birth of a Sovereignwho truly occupies ahigh place in the hearts

of her subjects howeverfar they may be removedgeographically from Herrevered person.”

“In the celebration yes-terday His Excellency theGovernor and staff took anactive part. The levée andIndian reception over, theydoffed their court habili-ments and mixed with thepeople in the most courte-ous and sociable mannerand assisted in every wayto promote harmony andenjoyment.”

It seems that the levéewas held for an hour lead-ing up to noon when asalute was fired at thepark.

This salute would haveincluded the local militia,and the park in ques-tion would have been theground cleared for gather-ings and sports at the frontridge of today’s VictoriaHill development.

The day was filled withgames, food, music, the-atre, speeches and more.A fascinating highlightwas the “Indian recep-tion” at which 57 FirstNations chiefs were inattendance, three of whomwere chosen to addressGovernor Seymour andto receive his reply. Thewords moved from the lan-guage of the various tribes

to Chinook to English andback again. This wouldhave been incredible towatch and listen to, andthe reporter noted: “this,if not the most interesting,was certainly not the leastnovel and amusing part ofthe performance.”

Gifts and special treatswere given out to the FirstNations people, all 3,500 ofwhom responded with ahearty three cheers at onepoint.

Some of the treats forthe First Nations peoplein attendance includedbiscuits, molasses andtobacco, and we read that“ample justice was doneto these delicacies” with agood supply taken awayfor the journey home.

This and a whole lotmore made up the VictoriaDay of 1864. Rememberthat Victoria Day for 2014is coming up quickly onMonday, May 19.

The Ancient andHonourable Hyack AnvilBattery was not there in1864 but will certainly bethere this year to fire their21-shot anvil salute toQueen Elizabeth II at noonprecisely. Watch for moreinformation on VictoriaDay and plan to come outto the Stadium in Queen’sPark on the 19th.

Helping handJordan Sidoo wants to

make sure vulnerable stu-dents in New Westminsterstart the day with a fullstomach.

The teenager recent-ly donated $3,000 tobreakfast club at NewWestminster SecondarySchool.

He fundraised themoney through a websitehe hosts that sells pens,pencils and tote bags.

“It’s one of those thingsI feel is really important.Going to school you haveto be able to concentrate,”Jordan said, explainingthe significance of theday’s first meal. “I knowfor myself, if I don’t havebreakfast, it’s just gameover at school.”

Jordan, who is a stu-dent at Vancouver’s St.George’s School, put hissupport behind NWSSbecause his dad, well-known businessman andphilanthropist DavidSidoo and his uncle PaulSidoo, were students atthe school.

A former CFL footballplayer, David is now oneof the key supporters ofthe NWSS Hyack Footballteam.

Jordan has long carriedon the family traditionof giving back to thoseless fortunate, includingfundraising to build play-grounds in Rwanda andEast Vancouver.

The Grade 12 studentwas recently accepted atthe prestigious Universityof California – Berkeley,but he says he’ll be able tokeep up the fundraisingefforts while he’s away atschool through his online

store.“That’s what I like

about the website, it’ssomething I can controlanywhere. I have access toit anywhere,” Jordan said

As for the $3,000,Jordan said the school toldhim that amount will beable to help feed hungrystudents until the middleof next year – ensuringthat all high school stu-dents in the city start theirday with a full stomachand ready to learn.

As for David, he’sproud of his son’s efforts

to help less-fortunate stu-dents.

“It was Jordan’s owninitiative,” David said.“Jordan feels that withouta proper meal in the mor-ning, it’s really tough for akid to get going, and thereis a lot of different thingsthat happen in school andyou need a healthy meal.… We are really proudof him that he is givingback.”

David, a high schoolfootball star, graduatedfrom New WestminsterSecondary School in 1978.

“That’s the last time wehad a football team there.After that they disbandedit because they didn’t haveenough money,” Davidsaid, explaining the foot-ball drought at the highschool that went until itwas restarted in 2004. “Wekept it together by sell-ing Pop Shoppe pop anddoing paper routes – everymember of the team.”

David played footballat UBC and for five yearswith the SaskatchewanRoughriders. He is friendswith Hyack Football

coach Farhan Lalji.David praised the foot-ball program Farhan hasdeveloped at the schoolover the last decade.

As for Jordan, his fund-raising efforts continue. Todate, he has raised $8,700for his Breakfast Clubfundraiser. Visit breakfast-club.ca, for more informa-tion.

Improving every stop of the wayIf at first you don’t suc-

ceed, try, try again, mightwell be a mantra TamaraHarris has taken to heart.

The 23-year-old NewWestminster middledistance runner is hav-ing a breakout season atthe University of BritishColumbia and should bein the hunt for a medal inthe women’s 800 metreswhen she competes at theupcoming NAIA nationaloutdoor track and fieldchampionships.

But it wasn’t alwaysthat way for the NewWestminster SecondarySchool grad.

“I just thought I waspretty average. I didn’tknow how far I would begoing,” said Harris.

She competed in the400m hurdles at the pro-vincial high school cham-pionships and was aquarter-miler at DouglasCollege, training mostlyon her own in her first twoyears of post-secondary.

But that all changedwhen she transferred toUBC last year.

UBC head coach MarekJedrzejek tried her out at800m, and Harris respond-ed with an NAIA nationalqualifying standard in hervery first outing.

Although she failed tomake the final of the met-ric half-mile at the 2013nationals, the seed hadbeen sown, said Harris.

“Last year was thestart,” said the New WestSpartans club runner. “Itwas just consistent train-ing and having a greatgroup of girls I train with.I was just more focused,and I wanted to do well.”

In just her second sea-son with the Thunderbirds,Harris shaved a second offher outdoor 400m personal

best and nearly three sec-onds off her PB at 800m.

“She’s in a very com-

petitive group,” Jedrzejeksaid of her UBC trainingpartners. “She’s such a

hard worker and a fighter.… It’s about learning frompast experiences.”

At the recent UBC/SFUAchilles Cup meet, Harriskept within striking dis-tance of frontrunner SarahSawatzky, before catchingthe Clan ace at the lastturn and then outkickingher in a foot race downthe straightaway to winby one-tenth of a secondin race to the wire in thewomen’s 800m.

“She’s still learning,but now it’s in her expe-rience arsenal,” Jedrzejeksaid of Harris’ tactical winover the SFU star. “She’sgetting better and betterevery week. I wouldn’t besurprised if, by the endof the season, she’s like2:07/2:08. She’s capable todo it.”

This weekend, Harriswill travel to Seattle forsome speed work in the400m at the Ken ShannonInvitational meet.

Then it’s on to the smallcollege nationals in twoweek’s time to defendUBC’s gold medal in thewomen’s 4x800m relay anda goal of an 800m final.

“This year, every racehas been a PB,” she said.

Harris went to thenationals last season andcame away with gold inthe relay, but this time,anything less than a top-eight finish in her indi-vidual event at the NAIAchampionships later thismonth would be consid-ered a disappointment.

“This year, I’m look-ing to qualify for the final.That’s my goal,” she said.

Jedrzejek is expectingher to finish as high asthird place overall at thenationals, and that’s allright with Harris.

“I want to keep improv-ing my times,” said thesophomore arts major.“I’ve been running all mylife and always enjoyed it.I think that’s what it comesdown to.”

Every step she takes: Tamara Harris, front, is looking for a podium finish in the 800metres at the NAIA outdoor track championships in two week’s time.

Burnaby Central provedto be the New WestminsterHyacks’ Achilles heal.

The Central Wildcatseliminated the Hyacksfrom district play, down-ing New West 2-1 in theBurWest senior girls’ soc-cer final at Mercer Stadiumon Tuesday.

Central, the only team tobeat the Hyacks in leagueplay, got on the board inthe opening 10 minutes onReese Wright’s first of twoscores.

Wright tallied the game-winning goal with a shotfrom inside the 18-yardbox just before halftime.

New West put thepressure on the visitorsthroughout the secondhalf and finally spoiled theshutout bid with a hardstrike by Celeste Bain from35 yards out that beat theCentral keeper.

“I feel really bad for thegirls. This team has onlybeen together for about amonth, but they’ve reallymeshed well, and I believedthey could make the pro-vincials,” said Hyack headcoach Wayne McCarthy inan email.

Burnaby North sur-vived an initial scare beforedowning a plucky BurnabySouth team 2-1 in overtimeto advance to the districtfinal in the other semi.

Jasmine Manhas gaveSouth an early 1-0 leadbefore North’s Megan Laitied things up with threeminutes left in the openinghalf.

The two teams remaineddeadlocked through ascoreless second half,sending the match to extratime.

Earlyinthefirstovertimesession, Allyson Dicksoncaught South keeper AimeMorrison slightly off herline and right-footed a longball into the back of thenet for the eventual game-winner.

“It was a lot harder thanthe last game (a 5-0 winin the regular season), butthat is expected,” said theDickson.

The high school districtfinal was played Thursday(after Record deadlines).

The AAA girls’ zoneplayoffs begin Monday atBurnaby Lake-West at 3p.m.

Jr. ’Bellies rain Thunder in home openerThe Langley Thunder was a

sitting duck for New Westminsterdefender Jakob Doucet.

The final year junior scoredhis second career hat trick to helplead New West to a 15-4 victoryover the Thunder in the Hyacks’B.C. Junior Lacrosse League homeopener at Queen’s Park Arena onTuesday.

Doucet, who scored 10 timesand sported a 52 per cent scoringaverage last season, tallied on allthree of his shots in the second

period, including a pair right offa faceoff.

“The team is really comingtogether. The young guys arehungry for the last couple of (ros-ter) spots,” Doucet said after thegame.

Second-year lefthander ConnorRobinson moved to the top ofthe league scoring parade with asix-point outing, including fiveassists.

Newcomer Johnny Pearson ledall scorers with four goals andtwo helpers in his debut in theSalmonbellies red and blue.

Riley Glemnitz also scored in

his first game with the ’Bellies,opening the scoring in the secondminute with a wicked underhandshot for the first of his three.

Ross Bowman looked ready forthe season in his first start in goal,stopping 13 shots in the open-ing frame to help give the hometeam a 4-0 advantage at the firstinterval.

The victory was NewWestminster’s third in a row, pla-cing last season’s Minto Cup final-ist in a second-place tie with Delta,just one point behind frontrunningCoquitlam.

The top four teams, including

Victoria, are already distancingthemselves from the rest of thefield after just two weeks of play.

Remaining in contention willcome down to practising whatyou preach, said Doucet.

“I’m a big believer in practisinglike you play,” he said.

“I feel like the veteran guyshave to show the leadership fromlast year and push the guys inpractice.”

New West is on the Island onSaturday against Victoria.

The juniors are back at homeon May 13 for a meeting with thePort Coquitlam Saints at 8 p.m.

WHL plucks six fromwinter club in junior draft

The Burnaby WinterClub placed half a dozenplayers with WesternHockey League clubs fol-lowing the May 1 bantamentry draft.

Defenceman NickWatson was the first AAAbantam Bruin selectedoverall, going 28th over-all to the LethbridgeHurricanes of the WHLEastern Conference.

Also picked up in thesecond round was BWCcentre James Malm, whowas picked up 44th overallby the Vancouver Giants.

Two winter club wingerswere drafted in the thirdand four rounds. TylerPreziuso was selected 61stby the Medicine Hat Tigers,while 5-11 Burnaby resi-dent Brett Didyk went 83rdto the Calgary Hitmen.

“It’s kind of a relief. Itfeels pretty good,” saidDidyk. “I was a little sur-prised (that no Bruins weredrafted in the first round),but it doesn’t work like that.You have to prepare for the

unexpected … I went inwith a positive attitude andwas fortunate to be pickedup by Calgary.”

Didyk will now preparefor Team B.C. provincialcamp in July and later inthe summer try out withthe B.C. major midgetNorthwest Giants.

The date of the Calgaryrookie camp has yet to beposted.

Didyk added he owes alot to the Burnaby WinterClub program and longtimehead coach John Batchelorin particular.

“Any kid would do any-thing to get into his pro-gram. He has higher expec-tations than other coachesI’ve had. He holds us allaccountable. It’s a veryprofessional system at theclub,” said Didyk.

Also picked up in thelater rounds were Burnabydefenceman Will Warm andright winger MackenzieWight.

Warm, a 5-10 blueliner,was chosen in the fifthround by the EdmontonOil Kings.

Wight went to the Seattle
