Memoriesofmoms

Valerie Malla remembers hermom as having a real thirst forlife.

She was a homemaker – thekind of person who loved to cook,do arts and crafts and constantlybe in the company of family andfriends.

“Our neighbours would comeover and have tea all the time,”Malla said of Mindy, who passedaway of a heart condition at theage of 32 when her daughter wasjust eight years old.

Growing up, Mindy’s passingwas rarely discussed due to thehurt it caused. Mementos andkeepsakes were stashed away, in-cluding a piece of art Mindy hadmade – a design of sequins on apiece of satin.

“I wanted to keep it safe. Ididn’t want anything to happen toit because it was my one thing ofher, it was like a piece of her,” re-called Malla.

For years, she couldn’t bear tocelebrate Mother’s Day.

“I just felt really alone and iso-lated on that particular day, evenmore so on Christmas,” she toldthe Record.

In 2013, something “justclicked” for the SFU student. Sherealized even though her motherwas gone, she could still honourher memory.

“I thought, I do have a moth-er, everybody has a mother. She’sjust not alive in the sense we onEarth determine people to bealive.”

NewWestminster council asksstaff to see if alcohol could beserved in the waterfront park

[email protected]

Should Eats at the Pier include Drinksat the Pier?

During council’s consideration of astaff report about the food services pro-vided atWestminster Pier Park, Coun.MaryTrentadue put forward a motion tohave staff investigate potential liquor salesat the park’s concession. Staff will reportback to council on the request.

While ice cream cones, Pier Park burg-ers and twisted potatoes are the signatureitems at Eats at the Pier,Trentadue thinksit’s worth exploring whether beer andwine can be served at the concession.

“I can see that staff is trying to createsomething there that will pay for the ser-vices and the staff, and are trying to in-crease the services at the park,” she toldthe Record.“I thought, this is an award-winning park, there are amazing thingsgoing on down there, maybe we shouldlook at trying something completely dif-ferent.”

The provincial government has intro-duced a number of changes to liquorlaws, soTrendatue thinks the city shouldinvestigate whether that includes thesale of liquor at concession stands in cityparks.

“It’s just a way to make the park moreanimated, more exciting to go downthere, it’s something different. It’s notjust French fries and hotdogs,” she said.“I also asked staff to look into differentmenu options, healthier options, not justthe same old fried food that we get at aconcession stand.”

Last year was the first year the city of-fered a full season of Eats at the Pier fromMay to September on fair-weather days.

A NewWest mom isswapping out her warmbed for a sleeping bag and apiece of cardboard.

Diana Moric is one of33 mothers participating inCovenant House’s fifth an-nual Sleep Out on May 5 indowntownVancouver.Thegoal of the one-night eventis to raise $75,000 for thecharity’s outreach program,which sends youth workersout on the streets to makecontact with vulnerableyoung people.

This year’s Sleep Out isthe non-profit organization’sfirst “mother’s edition.” Pre-vious events have been lim-ited to executives andVIPs.

Moric is neither scared ornervous, she said. Instead,she’s “pretty excited.”

“I’ve never actually beento Covenant House, so I’mlooking forward to havingthe tour and hopefully chat-ting with some of the kidswho are in the programsthere, and listening to theirstories and what broughtthem there,” she told theRecord.

Moric, mother to17-year-old Jonathan, addedshe “jumped at the chanceto be part of it.” She haddone some volunteer workin early 2015, handing outcare packages to the home-less population inVancou-ver’s Downtown Eastside.

“It just really hit home tome,” she said. “With havinga son, I couldn’t imagine ifhe was on the streets, andnot having a place to go,and not having these pro-

grams that Covenant Houseprovides for these kids.”

The non-profit organiza-tion is 94 per cent private-ly funded, according to dig-ital marketing coordinatorKristy Hayter, meaning ini-tiatives like Sleep Out arevital. Of the $75,000 goal,more than $93,000 hasbeen raised so far betweenthe 33 moms.

Moric admitted she wasinitially intimidated by the$3,000 individual fundrais-

ing goal.“I didn’t think I could

do it,” she said. After a pubevent, a 50-50 raffle andthe many donations she re-ceived from co-workers,Moric surpassed the target.

Hayter, meanwhile,wasn’t sure what to expectwhen Covenant House putout the call to mothers tosleep outside.

“People were so excitedto join.We had no troubleselling it,” she said, adding

the May 5 date was cho-sen to coincide with Moth-er’s Day.

The evening begins at7:30 p.m. Once the momsarrive to Covenant House,they’ll take a tour of thebuilding and go throughthe women’s crisis program.They’ll also have a pan-el discussion with previousand current youth who haveused Covenant House.The“sleeping” starts at 10 p.m.and concludes at 5:30 a.m.

with a reflection exercise.The response from past

participants has been “in-credible,” noted Hayter.

“It’s so impactful andmeaningful for them. A lotof people get really emo-tional either from past stufffrom their life or just to havea glimpse of how tough it isto be homeless,” she said.“We think it’s going to bethe same for the moms.”

CityclosertoQueen’sParkconservationplanIt’s been something heritage afi-

cionados have been requesting fordecades, and it’s a step closer tobecoming a reality.

On Monday, council directedstaff to proceed with the Queen’sPark neighbourhood heritage con-servation implementation plan.A working group has outlined itstop priorities for council’s con-sideration: the creation of a her-itage conservation area, a pho-tographic inventory of heritage

buildings and landscape featuresin the neighbourhood and the cre-ation of design guidelines basedon existing 1999 guidelines andthe photographic inventory to becompleted.

Council also directed staff toexamine the feasibility of estab-lishing a “heritage control period”for the neighbourhood for oneyear, which could restrict peoplefrom altering a building’s exterior,moving a building or structurallychanging a building.The workinggroup felt this would give coun-cil the ability to deny demolition

and unsympathetic alterations tobuildings in the neighbourhood,while consultation for the heritageconservation area takes place.

Through the years, many heri-tage supporters have called on thecity to create a heritage conserva-tion area in Queen’s Park. A staffreport states that a heritage con-servation area “would essential-ly place a layer of heritage pro-tection” over all properties withinthe area, impose minimum main-tenance standards to the proper-ties, and require all building per-mit applications (including new

builds, renovations and demoli-tions) and subdivision applica-tions to have a heritage alterationpermit.

“We have tried these conserva-tion areas in the past in the cityand they haven’t been successful.I think the one difference betweenthis process and the past process-es is this one has really been bot-tom up and driven by the com-munity, whereas in the past it’sbeen more top-down driven bythe city,” said Mayor JonathanCote about the working groupthat has worked on the issue for

nearly two years. “I am optimisticwe are going to have a more suc-cessful result, given that it’s beencommunity driven.”

Work done as part of a heritageconservation area will be embed-ded in the city’s official commu-nity plan.

The city will hire several peoplewith heritage expertise to work onthe project.

The $120,000 for the work willcome out of the development ser-vice’s department’s consultantbudget.

What’snot illegalcanbeunethicalWhere do you live?It’s an easy question

for almost everyone whodoesn’t serve in Canada’sSenate.

P.E.I. Senator and Ot-tawa resident Mike Duffywas acquitted of 31 charg-es this past week related tofraud and abusing the pub-lic trust. Nothing criminalwas going on – just sena-tor stuff.

Yes, Duffy listed a sum-mer cottage as his prima-

ry residence, but nothingin the Senate rules requiresa senator to spend a cer-tain number days at theirhouse.We’d like to believethe omission is an over-sight, but that’s hard to ac-cept from a governmentbody specializing in over-sight.

The legal grey areaseems like a purposeful fogcreated by legislators whoexpect taxpayers to supple-ment their sizable salaries

with free trips.Duffy was legally allowed

to lie about where he livedand file piles of expense re-ports because he was justdoing what comes natural-ly to senators and follow-ing the advice of more se-nior politicians.

According to the judge,it was former prime min-ister Stephen Harper whotold Duffy where he wouldclaim to live and membersof Harper’s office who lat-

er tried to buy their wayout of trouble by forcingDuffy to accept a paymentof $90,000.

But as far as Duffy’s re-sponsibility for the messwas concerned, it was alllegal. Because the Senateoperates in an environmentwhere there are no rules.Of course anyone whowas not part of the politi-cal culture in Canada dur-ing the Harper reign wouldrecognize Duffy’s behav-

iour as wrong and uneth-ical. He certainly knewwhere he actually lived. So-ciety long ago stopped ac-cepting “He told me to doit” as an excuse for immor-al behaviour.

But there’s the law andthen there’s justice, and thetwo are rarely the same.

While Duffy was doinghis victory dance, most Ca-nadians were just shakingtheir heads at the absurdi-ty of it all.

We sure hope our cur-rent prime minister will fa-vour a higher ethical stan-dard.

The Canadian Sen-ate needs rules and over-sight far more than Cana-da needs the Senate. If oursenators don’t like it, theycan always go home – ifthey know where their realhome is.

Measles outbreak hits city

MYVIEWKEITHBALDREY

Strangealliesinenergypolicy

It would have been un-heard of mere monthsago, but there’s a chancea new political triumvi-rate is emerging to domi-nate the energy policies forthis country: Prime Minis-ter JustinTrudeau, AlbertaPremier Rachel Notley andB.C. Premier Christy Clark.

To say it’s an example ofpolitics making strange bed-fellows doesn’t quite cap-ture this group. It featuresa left-of-centre federal Lib-eral, a left-wing governmentthat tilts right in Alberta anda coalition B.C. governmentthat alternates between lib-eral and conservative traitsin this province.

Whether these three ac-tually form a common frontremains to be seen, but itappears the groundwork isbeing laid to accomplish justthat. B.C. and Alberta arenow in exploratory talks thatmay eventually link B.C.’sgreen hydroelectric sales toAlberta to oil pipelines run-ning from Alberta throughthis province to tidewater.It’s early days on this com-plex file, so who knowswhere this is headed.

But it’s important to re-member that Notley – orany Alberta political leaderfor that matter – desperate-ly needs at least one morepipeline leaving her prov-ince.The oil sands develop-ment is critical to that prov-ince’s economic future.

Clark, as I’ve noted be-fore, would love to seea twinning of the Kind-er Morgan pipeline pro-ceed if the five conditionsfor approval set down sev-

eral years ago are met. Sell-ing B.C. Hydro power to Al-berta as a form of quid proquo would presumably meetone of them: the require-ment that a “fair share” ofthe economic benefits of theproject come to this prov-ince.There is a misconcep-tion in some quarters thatthe five conditions were setby the B.C. government assure-fire barriers to ensurethe Kinder Morgan pipelineis never built. Quite the op-posite, in fact: they are de-signed to require the com-pany to meet tests at boththe environmental and FirstNations levels.

Enter the prime minister.IfTrudeau’s govern-

ment green-lights the Kind-er Morgan pipeline, he maythen be pressured to meetwhat could be the lone re-maining condition re-quired by B.C.: a “world-class” ocean spill responsehas to be in place, and thatis largely a federal respon-sibility. Just a few years ago,Trudeau wasn’t taken seri-ously as prime minister ma-terial. Clark appeared des-tined to be thrown onto thepolitical scrap heap, and thenotion that Notley wouldbecome the premier of Al-berta was laughable.

But all three haveemerged as leaders, and cir-cumstances may push themtogether to deal with one ofthe most pressing and chal-lenging issues – energy –facing the country. It’s safeto say few folks saw this onecoming.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-

cal reporter for Global B.C.

Out of 12 reported cases of the disease in NewWestminster in the month previous, 11 occurred at F.W.Howay.The health unit said it would set up a re-immu-nization program for people who were in contact withHoway students and who were vaccinated before 1975,since vaccines used before 1975 were not as effective.

The concession opened119 out of a possible 135days in 2015.

Eats at the Pier sells a va-riety of foods and beverag-es, including fish and chips,burgers, hotdogs, fries,chicken strips, twisted pota-toes, ice cream and cold andhot drinks.

Hot foods were the topseller, accounting for 43 percent of last season’s sales,followed by ice cream (26per cent), cold drinks (26per cent), hot drinks (twoper cent), with healthieritems (bottle water, 100 percent juice slush, and veggieburgers and hotdogs) ac-counting for 13 per cent oftotal sales.

“The service has beenwell received.We expectthat that business will con-tinue to grow down there,”said Mayor Jonathan Cote.“At this point in time thereis still a little bit of a subsi-dy for the concession stand,but given the numbers andthe people using the park,we are definitely anticipat-ing that that gap is slowlygoing to be narrowed and

at one point that concessionmight be a profitable con-cession for the city.”

The city has been gather-ing information about thenumber of visitors to PierPark since last September,when attendance peaked at41,337.

In the following months,the park attracted 28,302visitors in October, 20,598in November and 13,993 inDecember.

In January 2016, 18,358people visited the park, with24,473 visiting in Februaryand 26,835 dropping by inMarch.

Cote noted the city is alsodiscussing the possibility ofbringing food trucks to thesite in the future as a wayof providing more food op-tions at Pier Park.

“It really took a coupleof years for the communi-ty to really discover the newcommunity asset we havedown on the river, but yougo down there on a sun-ny evening, especially as weget into spring, summer andfall, it’s absolutely packeddown there,” Cote said. “Iexpect the number we got

in September, that is prob-ably going to be smashedover the summer months.”

With some interestingcomponents included inWestminster Pier Park, such

as the urban beach, andmore development in thearea and more people com-ing to the park,Trentaduebelieves the city needs toconsider ways to make the

park more interesting to vis-itors.

“We need to absolute-ly know what the risks are. Iwould like to hear from thepolice,” she said.

“Beer gardens happen allover the place. It is done.There are occasionally peo-ple who will go overboard,but a lot of people won’t.”

That year, she organizeda Mother’s Day brunch foranyone who had lost theirmaternal parent or had anestranged relationship withthem.

And she’s doing it again –on May 8, Malla is hosting abrunch atVancouver’s Sea-sons in the Park.

After connecting withB.C. Bereavement, the Low-er Mainland Grief RecoverySociety and local libraries,she said her phone has beenringing off the hook.

“I’m getting so manycalls. I thought maybe sixpeople, but I may have todo it in two events.They re-ally think it’s a wonderfulidea, which just tells me theneed.”

Today, death is not a top-

ic Malla shies away from.It’s something very natu-ral that society needs to em-brace, she said, and there’sa great need for communitysupport.

Her brunch should beseen as one of those pillarsof support, Malla added.

“It’s not so much aboutthe mothers as it is aboutthe person that is partici-pating.We all have a moth-er, we all have a relationship,and when that gets severed,it creates a loss.We can’t justignore that,” she explained.

Anyone interested in at-tending the brunch is askedto call 778-318-1894 to re-serve a seat. Bookings willbe taken up until May 6.

Attendees are asked tobring a photo and/or storyabout their mom to share.

It’s not a request the po-lice department often fulfill,however, in the case of San-draWilson they’vemade an excep-tion.

Wilson, 76, lefther home in New-foundland whenshe was youngand moved outWest. Since then,it’s believed shehas spent much ofher adult life livingsomewhere in theLower Mainland.

Recently, NewWestmin-ster police were contact-ed byWilson’s sister askingfor help in finding her sib-

ling, who she thinks is miss-ing, explained acting Sgt.Jeff Scott, spokesperson forthe NewWestminster PoliceDepartment.

It’s rare for the depart-ment to get thesekinds of requestsfrom family orfriends, but if thecircumstanceswarrant a deep-er search by police,Scott said they’remore than willingto take it on.

“Given (Wil-son’s) medi-cal background –she’s believed to be

schizophrenic and diabetic –there’s rise for concern. It’sbeen a long time since (thesisters have) seen each oth-

er,” Scott said.Wilson and her sister,

whose name was not pro-vided, haven’t spoken inmore than five years, Scottsaid, adding the sister couldnot remember exactly when

she last spoke toWilson.It’s unclear ifWilson everlived in NewWest or whythe NewWestminster PoliceDepartment was contacted,but because of her medicalconditions, Scott said, thedepartment agreed to help.

“We’re certainly willing tohelp out and try to reunitethem, and ensure that sheis safe and in good health,that’s obviously a concernas well,” he added.

Police hope someone inthe community or Low-er Mainland will recognizeWilson’s photo and contactthe department.

“We’re not able to findher, so we just want to see ifanybody has any informa-tion about where she maybe,” Scott said. “She’s be-lieved to be in the LowerMainland somewhere.”

Anyone with informa-tion is asked to contact Det.Matthew Robson at 604-525-5411 or email [email protected].

NewWestminster citycouncil is testing the watersto see what type of facility itwill build to replace CanadaGames Pool.

As the city begins to wadeinto planning for a replace-ment of Canada GamesPool, council has been go-ing on field trips and visitingsome of newer facilities inthe Lower Mainland.

“There’s been a lot ofnew pools built over the lastfive to 10 years in theVan-couver area,” said MayorJonathan Cote. “It’s beengreat going to every pooland getting their experi-ences as to what’s working,some things we may want toavoid, the latest trends.”

The pool tour has in-cluded stops at GrandviewHeights Aquatic Centre in

Surrey, the Fred RandallPool at the Edmonds Com-munity Centre in Burnaby,theWestVancouver AquaticCentre, the Hillcrest Aquat-ic Centre inVancouver, thePoirier Sport andLeisure Complexin Coquitlam andWatermania inRichmond.

Dean Gibson,the city’s direc-tor of parks, cul-ture and recreation,said those facilitiesare “all over theboard” in terms oftheir offerings, andrange from about$30 million to more than$60 million.

“Swimming pools regard-less of their size and featuresare relatively expensive un-dertakings,” he said. “Thiswill be, after Anvil Centre,probably one of our larg-

er capital investments thecity is making in this cur-rent term of council and itsmembers.”

Gibson said the city willlaunch its ‘conversations

with the commu-nity’ within thenext few weeksto give citizens achance to weigh inon what they’d liketo see in the futurefacility.

“What’s work-ing well, what’s notworking well inthose operations,are there areas forimprovement? Ul-

timately there are things likelooking to the future – whatsorts of things ought to beconsidered in planning forthe eventual replacement ofthe pool itself?” he said. “Iam sure the members of the

Citywades intoplansforpoolreplacementCouncil has been visiting pools around the region todecide what facility will replace Canada Games

public that use those facili-ties on a regular basis willbe eager to share that infor-mation.”

Gibson said the city willalso reach out to peoplewho aren’t patrons, as it willrequire a significant capitalinvestment by the city.

The public engagementprocess will include an on-line survey, meetings withstakeholder groups andcommunity organizationsand open houses. As thesurvey results are tabulat-ed, it’s expected that somecommon themes may arise,and the city will have spe-cial focus group sessions todive into the details of thoseissues.

Gibson said the city’s in-tention is to gather enoughinformation to submit anapplication for a federal in-frastructure grant by theend of the year but stressedit would be a “big step” toget from there to having aprecise vision of what the fa-cility would look like.

“We won’t be down topicking paint colours, butwe will have answered some

of the questions like: Howmany bodies of water mightbe within the facility?Whatthe sizes of those might be?Is there going to be a fitnessarea or not, and if there ishow big might it be? Are thecommunity centre compo-nents contemplated as partof phase one or might theybe considered in a futurephase?” he said. “Thoseare the big questions wewill have to answer over thecourse of the next severalmonths.”

Last November, the city

agreed money would bebetter spent replacing Can-ada Games Pool rather thanrefurbishing the existing fa-cility.

“Council is aware of theaging condition of the fa-cility itself.We don’t havean indefinite period of timewith which to make deci-sions to move forward,”Gibson said. “I’m sure thepublic input will probablyreveal the degree of urgencythe public is feeling aboutcontinuing to move aheadas well.”

QUESTION:“Why isn’t RoyalAve-

nue a 30 kilometres perhour school zone in frontofQayqayt ElementarySchool?”– longtime NewWest-

minster resident RobertDenney (via email)

ANSWER:I asked Lisa Leblanc,

the City of NewWestmin-ster’s transportation man-ager.This is what she said.

“We are following currentbest practices and guide-lines on how school zonesshould be signed, and there-fore we do not post a re-duced speed limit at schoolzones along arterial roadssuch as Royal Avenue.

In fact, it is explicit-ly discouraged along arte-rial roads according to theTransportation Associationof Canada (TAC), the agen-cy responsible for develop-ing traffic sign guidelines inCanada.The primary rea-son forTAC’s position on

this is because it has beenshown that a lower speedlimit ‘can appear to mo-torists as contradicting theroadway function,’ resultingin some drivers losing re-spect for the speed limit.

When this happens, theremay be a large variation invehicle speeds, which hasbeen shown to increase thelikelihood of collisions.

“In the absence of a re-duced speed limit, thereare other ways to improvesafety along Royal Ave-nue for Qayqayt Elemen-tary School, some of whichhave been implemented, in-cluding: the provision of acrossing guard at theThird

Street pedestrian signal,school grounds fully fencedfrom Royal Avenue, en-forcement by the NewWestPolice Department, and lo-cating school driveways andother accesses away fromRoyal Avenue.That said, wedo work in an environmentof continuous improvement.

We recently completedan engineering review of theintersection of Royal Av-enue andThird Street, weare currently in the processof reviewing school zonetraffic controls throughoutthe city, and we are devel-oping a City of NewWest-minster policy and updatedprocedures for signage andtraffic control near schools,which may result in actionsthat improve upon existingpractices.

When complete, we willfurther review and imple-ment any applicable traf-fic control measures thatmay be required to makethe Qayqayt school environ-ment safer.”

An 18-storey buildingwith 186 units is next upon the building block at theBrewery District.

Wesgroup Properties re-quested an amendment tothe master developmentpermit for the Brewery Dis-trict, which allows it to builda residential building beforeproviding 125,000 squarefeet of health-related officespace.The requirement tobuild the health-related of-fice space before the resi-dential tower was part ofthe original master develop-ment permit approved forthe Sapperton site.

“They were looking forsome lenience on the re-striction on the health-careuses on the site.There is arequirement and there isabout 45,000 square feet(of health-related officespace) that still has not beenreached. Under the origi-nal master plan what that

would mean is no furtherresidential development un-til that has been reached,”explained Mayor JonathanCote. “What the develop-er was hoping was we’d re-move that clause altogether.Council wasn’t comfortablewith that.”

Instead, city councilagreed to tie that remaining45,000 square feet of officespace in to a future rezoningat the site and deal with it atthat time.

“The clause will remain,but the second tower can goahead,” Cote said. “We willdiscuss when that triggerwould most appropriately fitin, given that the vast major-ity of the requirements – thegrocery store, the office tow-er buildings they were build-ing, and even a substantialpart of the health care – hasbeen met.”

Cote said council felt itwas reasonable to readjustwhere that piece fits into themaster plan agreement, giv-en the successes that have

already taken place at theBrewery District site.

The second residen-tial building proposed forthe Brewery District wouldbe located at 228 Nelson’sCres. It will contain 85 one-bedroom units, 77 two-bed-room units and 24 three-bedroom units.

“I think it’s definitely apositive thing,” Cote saidabout bringing more resi-dents to the Brewery Dis-trict. “Certainly when thedevelopment first came for-ward, the city was actuallyvery worried that we wouldsee all the residential comefirst and we’d not see any ofthe commercial or retail sideof things – that’s why theagreement was set up theway it was, to really encour-age that development.”

Council approved issu-ance of the developmentpermit application April 25.

wagons of the past, packagedup in a modern all-wheel-drive machine. However,for most people the Flex’sstyling will be something toget past. But once you do...

Environment:First box checked: loadsof space. Big, wide, andcomfy, the first two rows ofthe Flex’s seating are great forpassengers. Rear seat passengersespecially will have plenty of roomto stretch out, and this top-of-the-lineLimited version even has a sunroof for each ofthe middle-seat passengers.

Third row passengers? Well, which of your kids isthe least favourite? Actually, that’s the questionyou might ask in most three-row crossovers, butthe Flex is actually pretty good in this regard.The seats have a little less padding than the fronttwo rows, but there’s plenty of room. Cargo spacebehind the rear seats is also very good.

For passengers up front, the fit and finish haveimproved over previous models, and there’s gooduse of soft-touch materials to make things feel alittle more upscale. The big change, however, isthe addition of Ford’s new Sync 3 system, whichis miles better than the old versions. It’s quicker,sharper, and simpler.

Performance:Given that the Flex looks a bit like a tipped-overrefrigerator on wheels, you might be forgivenfor thinking it was dead slow. However, if it’s arefrigerator, it’s William “The Refrigerator” Perry.

Perry, an all-star defensivelineman, wasenormous, buthe could run the100-metre dashin under twelveseconds.

Likewise, theFord Flexsurprises thecritics, especiallywhen equippedwith the 365hptwin-turboEcoboost engine.Pumping out350 lb-ft oftorque from 3.5L

Great straight-line performance and theperfect setup for driving the whole family

FordFlex

of displacement and matedto a six-speed automatic

transmission and all-wheel-drive, the Flex can run to100km/h in just under sixseconds.

It’s a completely ridiculousperformance, the kind of

numbers you’d expect froma Focus ST as delivered by a

giant retro-wagon. It’s the kingof the onramp.

However, when the road gets curvy,the Flex proves less flexible. Steering feel

is negligible, and while Ford employs its torque-vectoring tech to help control understeer, theFlex isn’t a cornering machine. On long highwaysweepers, it’s nicely composed, especially as itslower ride height gives less body roll than tallercrossovers.

Better to think of the Flex as once again a bit of oldschool, with great straight-line performance andthe perfect setup for driving the whole family tothe Grand Canyon. It’s big, fast, and capacious, justlike American cars all used to be.

Features:The styling is big box, but the Flex’s price isrelatively big ticket. Base models start with a3.5L V6, cloth seats, a backup camera, and nottoo much else. The top-spec Limited comes witha huge feature list – including automatic cruisecontrol and power-folding seats – but priced inthe mid-$50K range after all the options wereadded in. Ouch.

Official fuel economy figures for the twin-turbo3.5L are 10.7.0L/100kms on the highwayand 14.7L/100kms city. The twin-turbo V6 ismost emphatically more Boost than Eco, andconsistently got city mileage ratings even withmixed use. However, that’s because it was fun toFlex the throttle.

Green Light:Surprisingly quick; lots of interior space; manyunique interior features

Stop Sign:Sub-par fuel economy; polarizing styling; windnoise at highway speeds; high price tag when fullyloaded

The Checkered Flag:A unique, characterful take on the familycrossover. Neither cheap to buy nor to operate,but never boring.

today’sdriveYour journey starts here.

Did you ever notice that when you buyyour kid something expensive, they’drather just play with the box it camein? Boxes are fun not because they lackimagination, but because they requireit. A box can be anything. It’s the mostefficient use of space, and it can carrymore than just stuff.

This is the Ford Flex, the blue-oval’s big-box solution to family life. (I half-wishit would switch names with the Edge, as

it’s much edgier or at least squarer). It’s a blend ofwagon and minivan and crossover, and it doesn’tsell particularly well. So far this year, Ford hassold ten times as many Edges as it has Flexes.Flexii. Flexuses. Whatever.

And that’s a great shame because the Flex is oneof the few honest-feeling machines left on theroad. Yes, it’s a box, but that’s the charm of it. Ithas a lot of space for your things, it stands out in aworld of swoopy over styling, and then there’s itsone party trick. What’s in the box? Here you go.

Design:While it would be tempting to simply write, “NotApplicable,” here and move on, the Flex actuallyhas quite a lot going on in the details. The retro-modern design has a few rounded edges up front,and the facelifted-for-2013 front end still looksfresh. By writing Flex across the nose in huge,broad letters, Ford gives their three-rower a tinytaste of Range Rover. The side strakes give it a bitof a surf wagon vibe. The two tone treatment forthe roof is the kind of thing a California Kustommight get. The 20” alloys bring the big-rim bling.

All in all, there are nods here to hot-rod station

Seniors’ shu!le helps folks get around city

It’s reallyvaluable, we’d

like to see itcontinue for

so many greatreasons.

DowntownUptown Connector has been popular, but it’s now in need of sponsors to keep it runningThe folks at Century

House are keen on a freeshu&le service in NewWest-minster – and encourag-ing other seniors to give it awhirl.

River Market, Bosa andWestminster Savings havebeen funding the DUC ser-vice (Downtown UptownConnector), with the ive-month pilot project endingat the end of March. RiverMarket is extending the pilotfor two more months andhopes to ind sponsors tohelp with the service.

Seniors at Century Houserecently invited Mayor Jon-athan Cote to ride the DUCwith them on St. Patrick’sDay so he could see irst-hand why they’re so keenon the shu&le and want it tocon!nue.

“It’s extremely impor-tant,” said Robyn McGuin-ness, manager of youthand seniors services in thecity’s parks, culture and rec-rea!on department. “Forthose people who live inthe uptown and can walk toCentury House, that’s great.If you live in the downtown,that’s an added expense toget on public transit and getup here.”

McGuinness said a highpercentage of NewWest-minster’s popula!on is im-migrants, many who bringolder family members toCanada with them. Like allseniors in the community,transporta!on to serviceshelps those folks par!cipatein community ac!vi!es.

“When we surveyed se-niors, one of the number 1

barriers to par!cipa!on insocial, recrea!onal or otherac!vi!es that have helpfulbeneits is transporta!on,”McGuinness said.

Seniors a&ending pro-grams at Century Househave found the DUC to bevaluable, as it makes a num-ber of stops on its route.The free downtown/uptown

shu&le operates Thursdayto Sunday from 11 a.m. to4 p.m.

“It is par!cularly help-ful on Thursday and Fridaywhen people are s!ll havingmedical appointments etc.and helping people ge#ngto those,” McGuinness said.“We have a number of low-income seniors in the area.It is a free service. There areso many stops around theuptown and downtown. It’svery convenient for them.”

The DUC stops includeDonald’s Market at RiverMarket, 309 Sixth St., 611Sixth St. (near Royal CityCentre), 620 Eighth St. (Cen-tury House), 520 12th St.,Quayside Drive at Renais-sance Square and QuaysideDrive at Reliance Court. Pick-up is about every 30 min-utes at each loca!on, begin-ning at 11 a.m. at Donald’sMarket.

“It’s really valuable,” Mc-Guinness said. “We’d like to

see it con!nue for so manygreat reasons.”

Salim Hassan, market-ing manager at River Mar-ket, said River Market hashad very posi!ve feedbackabout the DUC and its rid-ership has been increasingeach week.

Makememoriesma!er –join this walk onMay 1Local residents Peter

Costanzo and Roger Howardhave a few things in com-mon.

They’re both advocatesof educa!on. And they bothlive with Alzheimer’s dis-ease.

They’re the joint honor-ees for the Investors GroupWalk for Alzheimer’s forNewWestminster and Burn-aby. The fundraising eventfor the non-proit Alzheim-er Society of B.C. takes placeon Sunday, May 1, with thetheme “Make memoriesma&er.”

Residents can par!cipate,donate and volunteer atwww.walkforalzheimers.ca.By serving as walk honorees,Costanzo and Howard willhelp educate people aboutthe impact of Alzheimer’sand other demen!a.

Costanzo, a re!red engi-neer who was born in Van-couver, ac!vely par!ci-pates in the society’s localprograms, including Mindsin Mo!on and a supportgroup. He shares his wisdom

and experience to inspireother family members andcaregivers.

His advice about caring forpeople living with Alzheim-er’s disease and other de-men!as is simple:* Answer their ques!ons

as many !mes as they areasked.* It’s be&er to be happy

than to be right.

Costanzo and wife Joyhave a close family consist-ing of two daughters and ason, ive grandchildren andone great-grandchild. Theyhave all gathered for pan-cakes on Sundays for manyyears.

Howard, mean!me, hasbeen deeply commi&ed tosocial jus!ce throughout hislife. A"er arriving in Cana-da from his na!ve U.S.A in1967, he completed a mas-ter’s degree in poli!cal sci-ence and later a PhD in soci-ology. He and wife Pat spentfour years studying andteaching in China before set-tling into teaching careers inthe communica!on depart-ment at SFU.

Pat describes Roger as hu-morous, crea!ve and curi-ous. He wears a bu&on thatreads, “I can’t rememberyour name either.”

Through the Alzheim-er Society of B.C., the cou-ple has found a communityof support, informa!on andeduca!on.

“The involvement of vol-unteers, as well as the net-works created by caregiversand those with the diagno-sis, speaks to the relevanceof the support families canaccess,” says Roger Howard.

Last summer’s droughthas taken its toll on lawnsaround the Royal City.

In the aftermath of lastsummer’s drought andwater restrictions, crows,skunks, raccoons and oth-er critters destroyed lawnsthroughout the city insearch of chafers to eat.Thecritters tear up lawns insearch of the tasty grubs inthe fall and winter months.

Claude LeDoux, thecity’s horticultural manager,said last summer’s droughtand water restrictions chal-lenged lawns. He noted thathealthy lawns are betterable to withstand the effectsof chafers, which were dis-covered in NewWestmin-ster lawns and boulevardsin 2001.

“The reason is becausethe lawns could not livethrough that dryness.Thegrubs were there. In my

view – I’m not an entomol-ogist – you didn’t have moregrubs per se, you just hadunhealthier lawns. It’s thehealth of the lawn that real-ly makes the biggest differ-ence,” he said. “That was atough spot everyone was in,when they put in those re-strictions.”

In a neighbourhoodwhere one lawn looks pris-tine while others are chewedup, LeDoux said it’s likelygrubs are living under thenice lawn – it’s just that thatlawn is healthier.

The European chaferbeetles are currently pupat-ing, so it’s not the time totackle them, LeDoux said,but it’s a good time to fer-tilize lawns and give them abetter start for the upcom-ing summer.

The City of NewWest-minster offers a nematodesubsidy program in thesummer. Residents can pur-chase nematodes, living mi-croscopic worms that attack

the chafer grubs, and applythem to their lawns at a des-ignated time.

Details of this year’s pro-gram are being finalized,but residents usually con-tact the city’s parks, cultureand recreation departmentin June to pre-order thenematodes.

“Normally, you applythem in July,” LeDoux said.“They start flying in thefirst week of June for themonth of June.That’s themating process.That’s theonly reason they’re alive.Most of their life, they liveas a grub, that’s why theyare so damaging.Theycome out, do the mating.The male dies right away.The female lays her eggs,and then she dies.”

European chafer grubsthemselves don’t do anydamage to the lawns,LeDoux said, but the ani-mals who eat them can ruinlawns.

Battlingthosepeskychafers?There’shelpCity is offering a subsidized nematode program forhomeowners whose lawns are affected by the grubs

It’s a sunny spring day,and NewWestminster MLAand NDP health critic JudyDarcy has come to MoodyPark to do something sheadmits she should havedone a long time ago.

She’s here to sign an or-gan donor registration form.

It’s a symbolic gesturesince she officially signed uponline a couple days earli-er, but today it’s a show ofsolidarity with three peoplegathered around a picnic ta-ble to whom organ dona-tion has been a matter of lifeand death.

One of them is NewWest-minster resident JacquelineJubb, who has been waitingfor a kidney for four-and-a-half years and whose life hasground to a halt since shestarted dialysis.

“I have to be honest withyou,” she says, “and say theonly thing that gives mehope are people like Judyorganizing something likethis, volunteers, seeing peo-ple do stuff like that becauseI think through educationand just awareness, I thinkthat’s the only thing that’sgoing to make people say,‘Wow, that’s not any kind oflife, and why are 95 per centof people OK with organdonation but only 20 percent of BCers registered?’”

Jubb admits that statisticangers her but behind that

anger is sadness.“Deep down I’m incredi-

bly sad and depressed that Ieven have friends that aren’tregistered,” she says.

Darcy said she, like manypeople, didn’t consciouslyresist signing up as an organdonor.

“I think it’s that we all areinundated with a lot of is-sues every day, a lot of peo-ple asking for support invarious ways,” she says. “Asthe MLA and as the healthspokesperson, I meet withpeople constantly, and soit really just took sitting ina room with these peoplefrom the Kidney Founda-tion and just saying this iswhat it means in real-lifeterms and realizing it was areally easy thing to do.”

One of the people fromthe Kidney Foundation whoapproached Darcy at thelegislature this month wasNewWest resident and sec-ond year SFU science stu-dent Hailey Cheema, whohas volunteered with theKidney Foundation sinceher grandfather died of kid-ney disease in 2009, raisinga total of $13,000 to datewith the B.C. KidneyWalk.

WHATFOR?

Green Thumb Theatreis bringing its touringproductions to the AnvilCentre Theatre in New Westfor the first time. There’s aperformance ofCelestialBeing (recommended forages five and up) on Tuesday,May 3 and ofStill/Falling (forages 12 and up) on Friday,May 6.

TELLMEMORE

The two productionsare designed for youngaudiences.Celestial Being, which

runs 40 minutes, is aimedat the five-and-up crowd

and explores the world of ayoung girl, Celeste, who ishaving a hard time at school.She can’t seem to makefriends, so she decides shemust be from outer space.

“The play takes uson a journey of her bigimagination and her strugglemaking social connections.,”a press release explains.“As we see the worldthrough her eyes, and thetremendous colour andjoy that her inner worldpresents, we realize thatseeing things differently canbe a wonderful gift.”Still/Falling, for ages 12

and up, is described as a“realistic, honest and bitinglyfunny look at the differencebetween ‘teen angst’ andmental illness,” as seenthrough the eyes of Nina, ayoung girl struggling withanxiety and depression. Itruns 50 minutes.

WHYSHOULDWEGO?

Any production byGreen Thumb Theatre isguaranteed to make a goodnight out for kids and theirparents. In the words of oneplaywright: “They respectyoung people. They alsorespect the theatre artists’need to make good art. Theydon’t talk down to eitherchildren or artists.”

It explores socialissues that are relevant tothe lives of children andyouth in an accessibleway, by telling the storiesof young people just likethemselves.

nephrology research as-sistant last summer, shesays five of the kidney pa-tients she surveyed duringthat time died waiting for atransplant.

She says the experiencemotivated her to push evenharder for more publicawareness on behalf of peo-ple waiting for transplants.

“They’re sick; they’re ondialysis three or four times aweek,” she says. “They don’thave a voice.”

Darcy says hearing aboutCheema’s work was the im-petus that finally motivatedher to register.

“I realized that it’s such asmall thing that the rest ofus have to do,” she says. “It’sa very very small thing.”

B.C. Kidney Foundationmarketing specialistToddHauptman, meanwhile,knows first-hand the life-changing difference a neworgan can make.

Until his transplant at age23 – after surviving an epi-sode that had put him into afive-day coma three monthsearlier – he couldn’t remem-ber a time when his mindwasn’t foggy and his bodylethargic.

“From 16 onwards that’skind of how I felt,” he says.“It wasn’t until I had thetransplant that I realizedhow bad I had felt.”

After getting a kidneyfrom a living donor, hisfriendTanyaTait, the differ-ence was night and day ina matter of weeks, Haupt-man says.

He has since finished hisuniversity degree, launcheda career and recently gottenengaged.

For now, it’s a life Jubbcan only dream of.

“They say you feel reallygood right away,” she says.

GlimpsebacktoNewWest [email protected]

This coming weekend willusher in the month of Maywhen the community looksahead to a series of eventsand enjoyable occasions.

In years recently past,warmer weather would havebeen eagerly anticipated,but with weather patternschanging, we now simplylook forward to more of thenice weather that April pro-vided.

Back at the start of Mayof 1889, NewWestminsterwas experiencing “weatherwarm and pleasant, Sundaylast was a beautiful day andas a consequence our streetswere crowded with citizens.”

The Oddfellows Hall hadbeen the scene of a cou-ple of well received con-certs, one of which was giv-en by “Miss Peters and herpupils” and another by theMendelssohn Club.Theywere “very successful, bothfinancially and musically,a large number of citizenswere present.”

Going out for a specialdrink was an activity not-ed in the press particularlyatThe Hub, near Duncan’sHotel downtown. Curiously,one example mentioned wasa “Tom and Jerry and all the

fashionable hot drinks suit-able for the season.” As theweather was nice and warm,this drink, a variant of eggnog with added brandy andrum and usually a favouriteat Christmastime, seems aninteresting choice.

There were many changesin town with the influenceof the railroad, and it wasreported that land valueswere going up, though theyhad not been as high as theyshould be.“From this time

forward prices will go upfrom day to day and specu-lative values by and by willbe reached.”

We must remember thestreets of the city were sur-faced with dirt, gravel andthe like, and apparentlymany complaints had beenreceived about the cloudsof dust issuing forth alongFront and Columbia streets.Mr. McBroom (yes, that re-ally was his name) had the

contract to water the streetsto keep the dust down, andhe was reportedly hurryingthe preparation of his water-ing wagon and the tanks tosupply the needed water.

The newspaper com-mented on a new book,A Latin Quarter Courtship,written by Sidney Luska,which, a bit of research as-certained, was the pseud-onym of author Henry Har-land.The book’s critique?“There is not much of whatis called plot and with verylittle jolting near the end,the course is very smooth,ending quite agreeably. It isworth reading.”

A truly noteworthy eventwas the launching of a newsteamer for the river tradeby Captain Insley.The ves-sel, a sternwheeler, the Del-aware, was launched withsuitable fanfare and cere-mony from an area we donot regularly link with thistype of shipbuilding, Sap-perton.

It was also recorded onMay 1, 1889, thatThom-asWalsh, noted first-classtrouser maker and ex-RoyalEngineer, had passed away.The paper noted that hewas well liked and “he hada tendency for stimulantswhich he loved not wiselybut too well.”

[email protected] fate of the Pattullo Bridge replace-

ment project is as clear as the skies over

MetroVancouver.Prior to the recent transit and transpor-

tation referendum,TransLink was working

with NewWestminster, Surrey and Coquit-

lam on a public process related to the re-

placement of the aging Pattullo Bridge.The

plan is to replace the existing bridge with a

new four-lane, tolled Pattullo Bridge.

“I think the referendum results have cre-

ated a bit of uncertainty for the Pattullo

Bridge project,” Mayor Jonathan Cote told

theRecord. “Ultimately, I still believe it’s

a project that will have to happen.They are

doing significant rehab work next year, and

that might buy a little extra time. But hav-

ing said that, ultimately something needs to

be done with the Pattullo Bridge.”

In an attempt to raises funds to expand

the region’s transit and transportation sys-

tems, the Mayors’ Council on transportation

Failure of transit vote leaves

fate of aging bridge uncertain

[email protected] residents with asthma,

chronic respiratory disease and heart failure

were warned to take precautions against a

thick blanket of smoke hovering over Metro

Vancouver earlier this week.The regional authority and Environment

Canada issued a joint air-quality advisory

Monday in response to smoke from wild-

fires that has shrouded much of the Low-

er Mainland, the Strait of Georgia and the

southern half ofVancouver Island since

Sunday morning.Air quality readings taken close to the

NewWest border in South Burnaby showed

concentrations of fine particulate matter

shooting past four times the target level over

a 24 hour-period.By 6 a.m.Tuesday, levels had returned to

below target, but the air-quality advisory re-

mained in effect.“Exposure is particularly a concern for

infants, the elderly and those who have di-

abetes, and lung or heart disease,” stat-

ed the MetroVancouver advisory. “Persons

with chronic underlying medical conditions

should postpone strenuous exercise until

the advisory is lifted. Staying indoors and in

air-conditioned spaces helps to reduce fine

particulate exposure.”People experiencing difficulty breathing,

chest pain or discomfort, or the sudden on-

set of cough or irritation of airways are ad-

vised to contact their doctor.

Emergency rooms have seen a jump in

respiratory-related visits since the smoke ar-

rived, according to Fraser Health Author-

ity spokespersonTasleem Juma, but health

officials can’t say conclusively whether the

smoke is the cause.“It’s difficult to determine whether it’s

air quality or heat or something else,” Juma

told theRecord.Fine particulate matter refers to airborne

solids or liquid droplets with a diameter of

2.5 micrometres or less.It can easily penetrate indoors because of

its small size.Most masks available at drug stores won’t

filter out fine particulate matter, according

to Fraser Health, so if people intend to use

masks they should make sure they are rated

to filter out particles of 2.5 microns in size,

and that users are wearing them properly.

The poor air quality, caused by wild-

fires burning outside of the region, includ-

ing a 618-acre fire near Sechelt, 60 kilome-

tres northwest ofVancouver, and two much

bigger fires (49,000 acres and 12,000 acres)

near Pemberton, is expected to last until

there is a change in the weather, according

Heavyhazeposeshealthhazards

NewWestminster residents feel the effects of the wildfires burning

Diabetes &Sleep ApneaSleep apnea and diabetesare strongly associatedwith one another. Clinicalresearch shows that ap-proximately 50% of type 2diabetics have also beendiagnosed with sleepapnea.

Researchers in Toronto’sSunnybrook Hospital tookhealthy volunteers and

sleep deprived them in the laboratory, and they showed asif they were in the pre-diabetic state after sleep depriva-tion. This was only after one week of sleep deprivation and itwasn’t total sleep deprivation, it was four and a half hours inbed. Sleep deprivation, short sleep duration, increases yourrisk for type 2 diabetes.

Research indicates that sleep apnea is independently as-sociated with insulin resistance. However, it is not clear whatmechanisms of action are responsible. Researchers areevaluating a few theories such as:

• Not getting to or staying in REM (deepest) stage of sleep,which is the time for hormones to get regulated

• Accumulation of sleep debt due to sleep fragmentation• Recurrent hypoxia (low oxygen level) leads to the impair-

ment in homeostasis (lack of maintenance of the bloodglucose equilibrium), leading to insulin resistance

• Elevated levels of the hormone cortisol, which is releasedunder conditions of stress in the body, can contribute toincreased energy production and sympathetic nervous ac-tivity, leading to excessive blood sugar levels and reducedinsulin sensitivity

• Increased sympathetic nervous activity cause the releaseof glucose from the muscles into the bloodstream to acti-vate an arousal from sleep, and result in residual circulatingglucose in blood

With type 2 diabetics who have sleep apnea, CPAP usagecan improve their glucose control. Within 48 hours, significantimprovements have been demonstrated in insulin sensitivityusing CPAP therapy. After-meal blood glucose levels can bereduced with compliant CPAP therapy, which suggests thatsustained CPAP use may be an important therapy for diabe-tes patients with sleep apnea.

One of the goals of the clinicians at CanSleep services is toinsure patients pay extra close attention to the risk factors fordiabetes if they have sleep apnea, and making sure they aredoing all they can to ensure healthy sleep if patients happento be diabetic.

Talk to your veterinary team

about liquid products that

are applied to the skin on

the back of the neck once a month.

These products are over-the-counter,

and can be purchased without a

prescription. This small amount of liquid kills fleas on contact

and controls all flea life stages, and is waterproof. It is important

to treat all pets in the household. Thoroughly clean your home

and your cat’s bedding to eliminate flea eggs and larva. Cats

and dogs can also scratch for many other reasons (such as

allergies). If your pet continues to lick or scratch after a flea

treatment, or if the skin does not look normal, book an appoint-

ment with your veterinarian.

We love and support volunteer-ing! Volunteering is a great wayto give back to the communi-ty! Volunteering is also a super

way to test out different industries andsee what types of people various indus-tries attract and whether or not you are

likeminded with those individuals, especially if you are seeking acareer change or your first job. Finally, if you haven’t worked ina while, volunteering is a fantastic way to acquire some currentskills and references to put on your resume. Moreover, acquisi-tion of current skills and references, coupled with daily/weeklyprofessional interactions with others, gives your brain the stimula-tion and inspiration it needs to build confidence, happiness, anda sense of purpose when you begin searching for paid employ-ment. These attributes will likely assist you in connecting to thelabour market quickly.

Obstructive sleep apneaoccurs due to airway col-lapse while you’re sleeping,

and prevents air from reaching yourlungs. The obstruction may be dueto a large tongue, extra tissue ordecreased muscle tone holding the

airway open. As the airways collapse they can cause shallowbreathing or periods of apnea. A breathing pause can last for10 seconds or more and is usually accompanied by a dropin oxygen levels in the blood. Apneas and hypopneas canoccur multiple times an hour. This puts a strain on the heartand can lead to serious health conditions. Talk to your doctorabout getting tested for obstructive sleep apnea and discusstreatment options with them if you have sleep apnea.

Coconut oil is antimicrobial

and antifungal, it sounds like

a dream come true for acne

prone skin. But the issue lies in the com-

position of the oil. All natural oils are

comprised of 2 acids: oleic acid and

linoleic acid. Oleic acid is SUPER pore clogging and linoleic is

not. Guess how high in oleic acid coconut oil is? It is one of the

top dogs! No wonder it is such an issue! But, it may not seem like

an issue right away because it takes acne 90 days to form, so

while you might feel like you are having tons of success with it at

first, the seeds are being planted for a MAJOR breakout after a

few weeks or months. Acne-prone and sensitive-skinned should

seek out oils high in linoleic acid.

Many people experienceblurred vision when drivingat night. Often it is becauseour pupils become larger at

night, allowing more light to enter theeye and making it harder to focus. Orperhaps you need new glasses. Uncor-

rected nearsightedness and astigmatism cause blurred vision,especially at night. Dry eyes can also reduce the quality of ourvision, as can cataracts (a clouding of the lens in the eye), re-sulting in blurred vision as well as halos and glare around lights,which can be quite a challenge when night driving. Impairednight vision can also be a symptom of a rare genetic condi-tion called Retinitis Pigmentosa. If you are noticing any visionchanges, day or night, book an appointment with your Doctorof Optometry, who will check your eyes and make suggestionsto help improve your vision at nighttime.

Recently, while help-ing a parent find a suit-able abridged classic for herchild, I realized it was timeto freshen up our collectionof folk and fairy tales.

And while we do this pe-riodically with all of our ma-terials, there are few collec-tion areas that are as fun toshop for as the 398s!

Scouring catalogues andpublisher sites, we have re-cently purchased roughly100 new titles, including fa-bles from near and far: Eu-ropean and Middle Easternclassics, as well as diverse,multicultural selections inIrish, Inuit, Amazonian andIndonesian folk legends.

We have also acquired arange of retellings and il-

lustration styles that al-low you to share more gen-tle editions with wee ones,and also be able to scare thesocks off older children withsome of the more darklytold and illustrated tales!

My favourite acquisitionis East of the Sun,West of theMoon, retold and illustratedby Jackie Morris, with lyri-cal prose and stunning wa-tercolour spreads.

Another gorgeous must-see is Trick of theTale, byJohn and Caitlin Matthewsand illustrated byTomislavTomic.

These tales originate fromall over the world andTom-ic’s black-and-white engrav-ings are intensely detailedand are simultaneously real-istic and fantastic.

My new preschool favou-rite has to be the Tortoise and

the Hare, illustrated by Nah-ta Nój with flat, pastel die-cut pages and peek-throughholes.

And I promised contentto horrify: try Neil Gaiman’sHansel and Gretel, illustrated

by Lorenzo Mattotti – I’mstill shivering!

I could go on as so manygems have been added toour shelves. And tradition-alists need not despair, wehave also ordered reprint-ed collections of the clas-

sics from Grimm, Aesop,and Hans Christian Anders-en, and illustrated by knownartists like Arthur Rackhamand his peers.

A new favourite is wait-ing for each member of yourfamily so come and en-list the children’s librariansto help you discover thesebeautiful books.

Goaliesre-upwithNewWestTheWLA’s 2015 MostOutstanding netminderis back in Bellies [email protected]

A big part of last year’s march to theWestern Lacrosse Association final willbe intact for another push.

The NewWestminster Salmonbel-lies announced on the weekend that the2015WLA Most Outstanding Goalieand co-rookie of the year, Eric Penney,has re-upped for the coming season andwill join forces again with Alexis Buqueto provide the club with a great one-twopunch to challenge for a league title.

“We look at Eric and Alexis as a sim-ilar tandem that we had inTyler Rich-ards and Matt Roik in 2008-09 – they areboth top-line goalkeepers, and you cando very well with two goalies competingfor playing time, working together,” saidNewWest general manager Dan Rich-ardson.

“I think how you build a winning teamis you start with goaltending, defence andthen work in the offence.”

The two are currently playing in theNational Lacrosse League –Buque inColorado and Penney with theVancou-ver Stealth.

With a strugglingVancouver lineup,22-year-old Penney’s second-year num-bers reflect the overall team performance,with a 14.08 goals-against average and.718 save percentage.

Buque, meanwhile, is also in his sec-ond pro season and holds a 12.95 goals-against average and .758 save percentage.He was named to the NLL’s 2015 All-Rookie team.

Both netminders learned their tradegrowing up in Ontario, but have found ahome on the west coast.

“I know people out there think (Pen-ney) has struggled in the NLL but hon-estly, nearly all young goalies have a sim-ilar growing pain in that league,” notedRichardson.

“I’m not worried one bit about him.He’s a capable No. 1 goalie for us, as is(Buque).”

NewWest also announced a handful ofcommitments for the coming season, in-cluding first all-star team transition play-er Jeff Cornwall,Tyler Crompton, JustinGoodwin, Jimmy and Jordan McBride,Patrick Miles and Reid Mydske.

Among those signing up for 2016are trade acquisitions Brett Dobray andQuinn McKay, 2014WLA first round-er Sean Lundstrom and 2016 draft pickDane Sorensen.The club hopes to addits top pick from the February draft, Mi-chael Messenger, once his college seasonat Limestone is completed.

The Salmonbellies are slated to playthe Maple Ridge Burrards in an exhibi-tion test on May 9 at Queen’s Park Are-na.The regular season kicks off May 21when NewWest visits Coquitlam.

Newfacesaplentyfor juniorBelliesExhibition result spotlights youthful talent in NewWestminster boxla [email protected]

As a learning exercise,Tues-day’s B.C. junior A lacrosse exhi-bition game gave NewWestmin-ster’s new coachTodd Stockdalea glimpse into the future.

A big part of that future is ayear or more away.

NewWest dressed a lineupheavy in intermediate-aged play-ers, with six expected starters inthe stands and six more still atuniversity and college.

While that may make an 8-6loss to the Lakers understand-able, Stockdale still wasn’t ac-

cepting it.“I didn’t like the end result,

but we’re learning things aboutour team,” said Stockdale fol-lowing the game.

“This was a very young rosterand they showed all those attri-butes -- lots of energy, speed andenthusiasm.What we lacked wascohesion, patience...This isn’tthe lineup we’ll have when theseason starts.”

NewWest trailed 5-2 after 20minutes but closed the gap overthe next period, tying it up 44seconds into the third period.

But Burnaby, which weremissing nearly 10 players from

their projected season-start-ing roster, got four goals fromKyle Heiling, a 20-year-old whoplayed junior B last year, and a52-save performance from first-year juniorThomas Hankins totake the win.

For Stockdale, training camphas been all about learning --working with the intermediateprogram to implement strategiesand implementing a fitness levelto give the players a foundationin which to out-last the compe-tition.

He admits one of his biggestchallenges has been just gettingto know the players.

“I think the toughest thing atthe start is just learning every-one’s name,” he said, smiling.“It’s not just the juniors, we’reworking with the intermediatestoo...You talk to them with theirhelmets on then when you seethem without their helmet it’sdifferent.

“One of the guys shaved (hisbeard off) and I was like, ‘Who’sthat?’”

Among the newcomers was a20-year-old walk-on from Den-ver, Max Abbott, who scoredonce.

NewWest opens the regularseason May 3 against PoCo.



TimelyknocksunlockTwinsNewWest gets first 18+ [email protected]

Some clutch hitting andsmall-ball mentality provedto be the right medicine forthe NewWestminsterTwins.

The Lower Mainland18+ baseball team record-ed its first win of the 2016season last week, toppingthe Dewdney Bulls 5-1 atQueen’s Park Stadium.

It wasn’t a case of any onebig hit, but a series of well-played at bats that got thejob done, general managerRon Suffron said.

“We snuck one out and Ithink things are coming to-gether,” said Suffron. “Wejust did a more consistentjob hitting and the guys arepicking up the idea of doingthe small things.”

Losing 13-0 to the Co-quitlam Cardinals and 8-3to the South Delta Padresput a dampener to the start

of the season, but the squadkept a positive mindset en-tering last weekend’s test atQueen’s Park.

“We cashed guys in,which we weren’t doing,”remarked the GM. “Weleft a log of guys strand-ed and didn’t drive them inand that’s how you lose ballgames.

“I’m going to chalk it upto the early season.”

Changing things up onthe mound, the team be-gan the game with regularcloser Pete Carter taking theball, and he went three-plusinnings.Taking over wereSean McCallum and RichieStevens.

“It was kind of pitch-ing by committee but itworked and we’ll probablystick with that for our nextgame.”

TheTwins pay a visit tothe Maple Ridge Jays onSunday.
