CULTURAL CRAWL SCHEDULE

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERErin Watkins and Susan Buss of the New Westminster Public Library put on their best Mad Hatter faces as they prepare to celebrate the library’s 150th anniversary on Saturday, Aug. 15.

Fatal overdose prompts police warningIan [email protected]

The New Westminster Police Department (NWPD) is alerting the public to three recent drug overdoses, one fatal, suspected to be from drug use in New Westminster within the last week.

According to the NWPD, although the exact cause of these three separate occurrences has yet to be determined from a medical standpoint, investigators noted drug paraphernalia at each of the scenes and received witness reports of drug use in all three cases.

Police said of these occurrences, one resulted in a fatality while the other two individuals were saved as a result of receiving emergency medical attention.

“Drug use is something we see on a daily basis and is not something we would ever consider to be a safe practice,” said acting Staff/Sgt. Chad Johnston in a media release. “We are asking those individuals who make the choice to consume any type of drug to please consider the potential deadly result prior to choosing this path.”

The NWPD is aware of the recent reports of various street drugs being laced with fentanyl.

Johnston said although there is nothing to suggest these overdoses occurred as a result of fentanyl, police cannot discount this possibility, and want to remind the public of the dangers of any type of drug use at any time.

Oldest library marches boldly into the futureMario [email protected]

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

When the New Westminster Public Library (NWPL) was founded 150 years ago, books and periodicals were the leading edge of information technology.

Today printed media is being usurped by digital data stored on discs, hard drives, servers and the Cloud.

But the library is still the place many people go to access that information.

In fact, the library plays a key role in helping people navigate their way through the digital revolution, said Susan Buss, NWPL’s deputy chief librarian.

“We are the place where people go to learn new technology,” said Buss. “Even though many households have computers, there’s still that literacy part of it they need to become familiar with.”

On Saturday, Aug. 15, the library will be celebrating its 150th birthday. It’s the oldest library in the province. But it’s by no means stuck in the past, said Buss.

The library’s 75,000 active members have access to two branches that house more than one million pieces of physical media. That includes books, magazines, newspapers, as well as their digitized versions, movies on DVD, music on CD.

As information technology has evolved, the library has adapted, said Buss.

“It’s changed our expectations, raises the level of what we expect from technology,” said Buss.

“We’re not just an information provider, we’re now a technological resource,” said Erin Watkins, the library’s manager of programs and community development.

That can create challenges for the library, said Buss.

Librarians not only have to help people �nd their way through new technology, they have to be prepared for the next big thing. All while minding the books and periodicals that still �ll most of the library’s physical space.

“We have to �gure out how to split our resources,” said Buss.

And they have to do it in a way that keeps the library open and accessible to everyone.

Because that’s one aspect of the library’s role in the community that has never changed through its long history; it’s a meeting place.

“It’s a place for people to be,” said Buss.

“It’s a place in the community where you can still meet people for free, there’s no membership fee, there’s no commercial aspect to being there.”

The NWPL will be celebrating its birthday with a Mad Hatter’s tea party on Sat. Aug. 15, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. There will be cake, chalk art, a photo booth and hat making. On the library’s second �oor, there will be displays and demonstrations of high-tech equipment like ebooks, 3D printers and electronic gaming.

Mad Hatter’s tea party celebrates 150th

As if a vibrant rainbow crosswalk isn’t enough, a section of Columbia Street is about to get even more colourful.

This weekend more than two dozen volunteers led by Nadine Nakagawa and artist Gillian Wright, will crack open cans of paint and dab their brushes to paint a community mural along a 52-foot section of drab grey wall between 428 and 502 Columbia, right next to the Army & Navy store.

The mural, which was designed by Wright, incorporates a variety of iconic New Westminster scenes, but leaves plenty of space for individual expression.

“It’s like Doodle Art,” said Wright. “There will be a lot of room for people to use their imagination.”

Nakagawa said she got the idea for the

mural project as a way to bring some pizzazz to Columbia Street. The recent arrival of the nearby rainbow crosswalk was an unexpected coincidence.

Nakagawa applied for and received a neighbourhood grant from the Vancouver Foundation to buy the paints and brushes as well as commission Wright for the design.

Securing the wall space was a little more complicated, she said.

That’s because nobody knew who actually owned the �ve-foot high wall that runs next to the sidewalk east of the Army & Navy. It turned out to belong to the department store, and when they gave their blessing the project became a reality.

Nagakawa hopes the mural will motivate the city to consider similar projects in the future.

“There has been some caution about murals in New Westminster,” said Nagakawa. “We can use this as a test run to see what it will look like.”

City councillor Mary Trentadue said the community involvement sets this mural apart.

“The community can look at it and they can say they helped,” said Trentadue. “It contributes to the idea of walkable neighbourhoods.”

Wright hopes the community embraces the mural project and makes it their own.

“I don’t have a lot of ego in this,” said Wright of her design. “This is a starting point.”

Paint New West Beautiful will be held Aug. 8 and 9, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Contact [email protected] to reserve a brush.

Mural project will bring even more colour to Columbia Street

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERTwins Carter and Nathalie Roulaston, 5, are amongst the community volunteers who will be helping artist Gillian Wright and organizers Nadine Nakagawa and Mary Trentadue paint a mural on a 54-foot long wall on Columbia Street this weekend.

Justin [email protected]

On B.C. Day, a section of Columbia Street was closed so crews could shoot a scene for the feature �lm Warrior’s Gate. Next week, the cameras will be rolling again in the same area for the show Country Girl.

And, if the Canadian dollar continues its steady fall, expect to see more movie trucks parked around the city.

“I think it’s going to have a big impact, it always has in the past. When we have a low dollar it certainly attracts �lming,” said Scott Harper, �lm co-ordinator for the city of New West. “For every million dollars every move of a penny makes a big difference in a budget. If you are talking about a $10

million dollar show that’s a lot of money. It just means hopefully we’ll get busier.”

In terms of �lming in New West, Harper said the city had a strong start to the year, but it has slowed a bit as of late, a time of the year, which is typically quite busy.

“It’s kind of the way of it, it has its ebbs and �ows, but I anticipate it being super busy again,” he said.

In 2014, New West issued 61 permits for 88 days of �lming, which translated into gross revenues of $313,114. Net revenues for 2014 — after deducting police, �re and �lm co-ordinator labour charges from gross revenue — were approximately $184,228.

A year earlier, the city issued 54 permits for 94 days of �lming and gross revenue of $431,837.

Harper attributed the dip in gross revenue in 2014 to the absence of a feature �lm shooting and limited �lming on Front and Columbia streets because of �re damage, neighbourhood construction activity and the construction of the Fourth Street pedestrian overpass.

Harper said New West’s downtown and Queen’s Park neighbourhoods are the most popular �lming locations because of the distinct and unique character they offer.

On July 27, the provincial government announced that it was opening a B.C. �lm and television of�ce in Los Angeles to “further enhance the B.C. industry’s marketing presence in the region.”

New West expects �lm crews to keep rolling

Stabbing in New West sends man to hospital

New Westminster Police continue to investigate a weekend stabbing that sent a man to hospital.

Police arrived at the 600-block of Clarkson Street at 4:15 p.m. on Sunday

and discovered a lone male suffering from serious, but non-life-threatening wounds.

Police says the injuries were likely caused by a knife.

No suspects are in custody and the incident is not believed to be a random attack or gang related.

PARKLET CONSTRUCTION The City of New Westminster is set to begin construction on its fi rst parklet as part of a city-wide parklet pilot program. Two parking spaces in the 400 block of East Columbia Street will be converted into a public space that includes a cedar patio, benches, and greenery.

A parklet is a platform built fl ush to the curb that extends the sidewalk and provides a creative solution for enhancing the urban streetscape. Parklets benefi t local businesses, residents, and visitors by providing a dynamic public space that attracts customers and fosters neighbourly engagement.

The space will contain benches that off er diverse seating arrangements to be used either individually or collectively. The parklet will be accessible for those with impaired or limited mobility.

During construction of the parklet, two parallel parking stalls will be closed and will reopen on August 8, 2015. The sidewalk next to the parklet will remain open and businesses will remain accessible during the installation.

The parklet is scheduled for completion on Saturday, August 8, 2015.

All new ridings in Burnaby, New WestWanda [email protected]

As of today, Aug. 6, it’ll be four days down and 74 days to go in the longest federal election campaign in 100 years.

And here, in case anyone’s paying attention amid their summer holidays and backyard barbecues, is a roundup of the candidates available for the choosing in Burnaby and New Westminster on election day, Oct. 19.

Despite the New Democratic Party’s traditional body of support in the two cities, nothing’s a sure thing this time around, what with three new ridings that will ultimately provide Burnaby with one additional representative in Parliament, and New Westminster, one less.

There will no longer be a Burnaby-Douglas riding. In its place is Burnaby North-Seymour, a constituency to be shared with North Vancouver, whose main connection with North Burnaby appeared to be residents’ opposition to having to share a riding stretching both sides of Burrard Inlet.

Mike Little, a three-term councillor for North Vancouver District who works for his family business exporting �nished B.C. lumber to Asia, is

carrying the �ag for the Conservatives.

The NDP will be represented by Carol Baird Ellan, a retired Provincial Court judge and longtime resident of North Vancouver who has the endorsement of Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan.

Liberal candidate Terry Beech is an entrepreneur and adjunct professor at Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia. He was B.C.’s youngest-ever elected of�cial when he became city councillor in Nanaimo in 1999 at age 18.

Lynne Quarmby, the Green Party’s candidate, is an SFU science professor who made headlines for her protests against the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project which led to her being arrested on Burnaby Mountain and sued by the company.

Over in the new Burnaby South riding, Burnaby-Douglas NDP MP Kennedy Stewart is its de facto incumbent after he threw his hat in that ring, having determined he had stronger ties to Burnaby than a riding that includes North Vancouver.

Stewart is on leave from SFU where he is a professor in its School of Public Policy. He just completed his �rst term as MP, during which he accomplished the rare feat of getting a private

member’s motion passed, garnering support from all parties, to establish an electronic-petition system in the federal government.

His Liberal challenger is Adam Pankratz, a Burnaby Central and SFU grad who works in commercial banking for Coast Capital Savings.

Grace Seear, the Conservative candidate, was a teacher for four years before becoming a political staffer for the party, most

recently working for Senator Yonah Martin as the chief of staff to the deputy leader of the government in the Senate.

For the Greens it’ll be Wyatt Tessari, an engineer, �lmmaker and political organizer who previously ran for the provincial party in Burnaby-Edmonds in 2013.

New Westminster-Burnaby replaces Burnaby-New Westminster and New Westminster-Coquitlam and will now include all of

the Royal City as well as the Edmonds and Cariboo Hill areas of South Burnaby.

The NDP’s Peter Julian is the incumbent and is seeking his fourth term after �rst being elected in 2004 in Burnaby-New Westminster. He had previously worked as a �nancial administrator and executive director of the Western Institute for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

Representing the Liberals

is Sasha Ramnarine, an entrepreneur and business lawyer.

The Conservative candidate is Chloé Ellis, manager of a Vancouver hair salon and art gallery, who previously worked as a supervisor at a Starbucks in Burnaby.

The Greens had yet to name a candidate for the riding as of the NewsLeader’s press time on Wednesday.

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

thousand* in real estate commission fees!”

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

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

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

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

Daryl M.7310 Boundary, Burnaby &

1937 Edinburgh, New Westminster

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

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

Becky Wang & Simon Sun506 Tenth Ave New Westminster

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

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

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

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

Pauline and Doug Chang1425 London St New Westminster

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

higher than we expected to ask.”

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

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

When the Columbia Theatre opened in 1927, it was a “pretty big” deal, said Archie Miller, a New Westminster historian.

The city had rebuilt much of its downtown after the great �re of 1898 and its population had boomed to more than 20,000. Other theatres like the Edison and the Royal already enlivened Columbia Street, but the newcomer up the block was bigger, classier and equipped to present Vaudeville acts, movies and even a unique combination of the two. In fact, the Royal couldn’t compete and was forced to close.

The Columbia was an atmospheric theatre, with intricate frescoes painted on the walls and ceiling to evoke the outdoors.

“You were feeling like you were outside even though you were inside,” said Miller.

The new addition to the city’s theatre row was an instant hit, adding to the hustle and bustle on Columbia Street, particularly on Saturday nights.

“It was a Saturday night town,” said Miller.The �rst movie to play the Columbia was

Swim Girl Swim, a silent romantic comedy starring Bebe Daniels and featuring a guest appearance by renowned English Channel swimmer Gertrude Ederle.

The theatre continued to be the focal point of New Westminster’s nightlife through the 1950s and into the early 1960s. In the 1970s the theatre was divided in half to create two movie theatres so it could compete against multi-screen theatres that were popping up in the suburbs.

Barry Buckland is selling the Columbia Theatre. The historic venue has been part of New Westminster’s arts and culture scene since 1927. As with any old theatre, many of its stories aren’t told just on stage. They’re on the walls, in the back rooms and storage areas the ticket-buying public never gets to see.

Clockwise from top left: Barry Buckland opens the Columbia Theatre for another day. The view into the theatre from behind the lattice work in the wings. Comedians waiting to get on stage at Lafflines can assess the house from a window in an office near the back of the comedy club. The “VIP Room” at the Columbia is often used as a makeshift dressing room or green room for visiting performers. The small waiting room where comics bide their time before taking the stage at Lafflines. The set list for an Eagles and Wings tribute band is still posted in the Green Room. Comics leave their mark at Lafflines.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILEIn 2007, a million dollar penthouse condo was a new benchmark. Now it’s a bargain. Dawne Edwards, a sales representative for Onni’s The Point on Sixth and Carnarvon streets, takes in the million-dollar view from one of the building’s two penthouse suites. They were the first new condos in the city to sell for at least $1 million. One was purchased by a New West businesswoman, and the other by a local resident. “New Westminster is getting the Yaletown effect,” said Edwards. “They’re sending a message that New West is up and coming.” Brian Naphtali, the president of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, said the price achieved for the condos points to the city being a desirable place to live.Each of the condos feature 2,100 square feet of interior space on two levels, and 2,200 square feet of rooftop deck.

The streets of New West could get some additional traf�c when Port Mann Bridge tolls go up in mid-August.

Starting Aug. 15, passenger vehicles will pay $3.15 per crossing — an increase of 15 cents.

New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Coté is concerned higher tolls will displace traf�c, with drivers steering towards the untolled Pattullo Bridge.

“The big concern for New Westminster is that any increases in tolls on the Port Mann will further increase more people moving to the Pattullo Bridge as the free option and moving away from the highway network and onto our already overburdened road network,” said Coté.

The province’s Transportation Investment Corporation (TI Corp), tasked with building and �nancing the Port Mann project, said a toll increase was needed “to keep up with the costs associated with operating and maintaining the project and repaying the debt.”

Longer-term, the New West mayor said he’d like to see a more equitable tolling policy across the region rather than the current system that only has drivers paying to cross the brand-new Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges.

“I’d actually much prefer to see a much smaller toll, but one that is distributed throughout the region and was equal across the region as opposed to having certain neighborhoods in certain parts of the region paying a very high toll, but then also having other neighbourhoods like New Westminster becoming the free alternative and facing some negative traf�c and livability impacts.”

In December 2014, the Metro

Vancouver Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation revealed its future plan for Metro Vancouver transportation.

One of the three key strategies identi�ed to improve the transportation system was the future introduction of road pricing.

“The mayors also recognize that we cannot solve congestion by investment alone; we need new tools to manage the system more effectively,” the document read. “Of these, the most effective tool is the same one we use to allocate scarce resources everywhere else in the economy: pricing. A more consistent approach to pricing transit and roads is the single most cost-effective way to reduce congestion and overcrowding.”

“I know everything is in �ux with the [transit] referendum being defeated, but the mayors’ [council] always had the long-term plan [that] was to look at road pricing and tolling and not speci�c to any particular plan, but to analyze that as a potential way to fund transportation and reduce congestion in the region,” said Coté.

“It would be through that discussion that I’m hoping to put forward some of these ideas,” he said, adding he’d like to see time-of-day tolling looked at.

Currently the same toll applies whether drivers cross at 10 o’clock in the evening or during rush hour, he noted.

“I think the tolls should be in place when there’s heavy demand on bridges, but give opportunities during less demand — midday, evenings, and on certain days — to either reduce the toll or to have toll-free periods, so that those who have the option and maybe cannot afford the tolls can make a choice and thus further reducing the pressure on our road network during periods when its most congested.”

Port Mann toll hike may divert traf�c to New West

Carol Rose’s compassion took her around the world.

In return she found her voice as an artist.

Rose, a Métis who was raised on the Prairies of Saskatchewan, did missionary work with indigenous communities in Indonesia, Borneo, Mexico, Thailand, India, Australia and New Zealand. Even though life was often hard for many of those communities, they were able to express joy and purpose in their art.

She loved the vibrant colours of Indonesia and Mexico, the intricate spirals and loops of the Maori in New Zealand.

When she returned to make her new home in New Westminster, Rose started integrating those in�uences into her own style, which is based on Métis bead work.

“I’m pregnant with ideas,” said Rose, who works on whatever surface has a little space in her walkup apartment near Simcoe Park. “One idea leads to another idea and eventually I bring them together.”

Rose inherited her wanderlust from her mother, who always aspired to become a �ight attendant until the demands of raising �ve kids in poverty diverted that dream. Her artistic talent comes from her father who taught her to draw using numbers.

In school, Rose said she was an habitual doodler. She was the student called upon to draw maps for social studies class. She didn’t mind.

“I used whatever I could for my palette,” said Rose.

She sees her current work as a way to connect the dots between the disparate indigenous communities of the world.

“It speaks to many people in different ways,” said Rose of her painting style.

Cross-promotion to be unleashed with new liquor reformJeff [email protected]

Wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries with licensed lounges can now sell patrons liquor they didn’t produce.

Until now, a distillery couldn’t sell anything other than the spirits it produces

— a glass of B.C. wine was off limits — and a winery couldn’t oblige if one guest at a table wanted a beer instead of the local grape.

Those lines are erased under the latest change stemming from B.C.’s liquor policy review.

But there will be a limit — a maximum of 20 per cent of sales by a given producer can consist of liquor produced off-site.

That’s intended to keep the focus on unique local offerings.

“We are doing away with B.C.’s archaic liquor rules,” Attorney General Suzanne Anton said, adding the change will give more choice to consumers while supporting B.C. tourism and small businesses.

Craft Distillers Guild of B.C. president Tyler Dyck said the move opens

the door for craft brewers, vintners and distillers to cross-promote each other.

The new rules also apply to special events, so a wedding or other event at a winery or other liquor producer will no longer have to get a special occasion licence to serve alcohol.

Anton indicated more reforms may be coming in areas where “further red tape can be cut.”

Wineries, brewers can sell booze they didn’t make

FLICKR/QUINNANYAWineries can now serve craft beer in their lounges and breweries are no longer barred from offering wine after the latest provincial liquor policy reform.

Last Friday, Bif Naked was setting out on a journey to play Grizfest in Tumbler Ridge, which meant a �ight to Calgary, renting a van, and then driving 240 km to the northern B.C. festival venue — and then back again right after her show.

Fortunately, she’ll be able to walk to her next gig.

Next Saturday (Aug. 15), the inked-up Vancouver rock star will perform at the New West Pride Street Party.

“New West is a very amazing community that is very close to my heart. I live there half the time. It’s fantastic I can basically walk from my �ance’s apartment to the festival,” she said.

Naked was thrilled to learn that New West Pride Society organizers wanted her to be a headliner on the �nal day of the week-long Pride fest.

“We were elated, absolutely elated. I can’t even tell you how excited we were. You know this is our community. I think that any Pride organization, any community that has one, either a Pride Organization or a Pride Society, if I can support them in any way I always will, whether it is through social media or volunteering when I can and to be asked to perform is a huge honour for us,” said Naked, who has played Pride events in the past, including Toronto Pride.

“It’s going to be awesome. All our neighbours are going. It’s just a great sense of community. It’s a wonderful family event, in a really nice community. The population in New West is growing, it’s an extremely diverse population, and something like this is a really great community

building event, and it helps promote inclusivity.”

New West Pride Street Party takes place on Columbia Street from 3 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 15.

Other musical entertainment

includes: The Rainbow Band, Amanda Luv, Current Reigning Empress 11 of Surrey & the Burbs, Curtis Newart, Daren Wait Collective, Kate Reid, Iskwé, I Am Mandrake and Los Furios.

Bellies score 10 straight to silence Thunder in game oneMario [email protected]

The New Westminster Salmonbellies overcame a lacklustre opening 10 minutes by scoring 10 straight goals to propel them to a 15-12 win over the Langley Thunder in the �rst game of their Western Lacrosse Association playoff series, Tuesday at Queen’s Park Arena.

The Salmonbellies, who �nished the regular season with �ve straight

victories, spotted the visitors an early 1-0 lead and trailed 4-2 before the game was 10 minutes old.

But Logan Schuss scored twice for the Salmonbellies to send the teams to the �rst intermission tied at four. That momentum carried on after the break as the ‘Bellies scored eight more times before Langley’s Anthony Malcom was able to reply with a power play goal with less than two minutes to play in the second period.

Langley seemed to regain its equilibrium in the third period, outscoring the Salmonbellies 7-3. But it was too little too late.

Schuss led all New West scorers with six goals and a pair of assists, while Keegan Bal scored �ve times along with two helpers.

The teams resume their series Thursday at the Langley Events Centre. Game three will be played at Queen’s Park Arena on Saturday.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERNew Westminster Salmonbellies forward Jeff Cornwal is squeezed by a pair of Langley Thunder defenders in the first period of their Western Lacrosse Association playoff game, Tuesday at Queen’s Park Arena.


With his grandmother watching from a shaded bench above the turf �eld at Queen’s Park, homegrown lacrosse star Kevin Crowley practised some skill drills with 30 young players.

For Crowley, it was nice to be home, if only for a short visit, to run a lacrosse camp for kids.

Crowley grew up not far from Queen’s Park Arena where he starred for the New West Salmonbellies lacrosse program.

“I’m a New West boy, I grew up down the street here, walking distance,” he explained.

His lacrosse talent earned him a full-ride �eld lacrosse scholarship to Stony Brook University in Long Island, New York.

At the NCAA Division 1 university, he set a school record for most points and earned D1 mid�elder of the year and player of the year honours, as well as twice being named �rst team All-American.

His stellar collegiate career made him �rst overall pick in both the indoor National Lacrosse League (NLL) and outdoor Major League Lacrosse (MLL) drafts — earning him a spot in the lacrosse history books.

Crowley currently

plays for the NLL’s Toronto Rock and MLL’s Chesapeake Bayhawks. He also suits up for Team Canada internationally.

Still despite his enviable lacrosse resume, it’s hard to make a living just playing lacrosse.

“The thing about the sport is it’s not at a level yet where you can make a living solely off of being a lacrosse player. You can supplement your pro salary with coaching and doing stuff like running travel teams and doing the clinics and the leagues and tournaments. I’m fortunate to be able to do what I love full-time with coaching and playing.”

Crowley lives in Philadelphia and is co-founder of Fusion Lacrosse, which runs camps, clinics and travel teams.

The New West camp was the �rst time he’s brought his Fusion Lacrosse to his hometown.

Along with a strong contingent from New West, the camp also drew players from as far away as North Vancouver and Chilliwack.

“It’s very cool to be able to come home and give back to the community where I grew up in and take what I’ve learned on the East Coast and bring it to these West Coast guys and hopefully elevate the level of play.”

Local athletes ready to take on West’s best


Recently, the New Westminster Police Department has received many calls from citizens asking questions about personal identity theft — a burgeoning new crime. It has become such a widespread topic that police have received updated training in order to answer questions about this topic.

According to Phone Busters (a national anti-fraud call centre), approximately 11,000 Canadians were victims of identity theft last year, totalling �nancial losses of

approximately $7.2 million.Identity theft occurs

when someone uses your personal information such as your name, social insurance number, credit card number or other identifying information without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes.

Types of personal information stolen consist of names, addresses, phone numbers, social insurance numbers, driver’s license numbers, credit card and banking information, bankcards, calling cards, birth certi�cates and

passports.Identity thieves get your

information by any of the following means:

• Stealing mail, such as bank and credit card statements, credit card offers, and new cheque and tax information, before delivery.

• Stealing delivered mail by breaking into mailboxes, completing a fraudulent change of address form to redirect your mail to another location,

• Searching through personal or business trash, or the public trash dumps, breaking into mailboxes,

delivery boxes and other Canada Post property to steal incoming or outgoing mail, or using fake identi�cation to trick someone into revealing personal or �nancial information.

Recovery is time consuming and costly. There are plenty of visits and phone calls to banks, creditors, and the credit bureau who may have given or sent out information. Identity theft is costly and inconvenient.

Reduce the risk and protect your good name

• Find alternatives to paper bills. For instance, eliminate paper statements,

use online account access, and instruct your bank to stop returning cancelled cheques with monthly statements.

• Do not leave outgoing mail unattended overnight. Instead, use a post of�ce to deposit your mail or drop off your mail close to the stated pick-up time located on the post box. As well, remove mail from your mailbox promptly after delivery.

If going away, have your mail collected by family or a trusted neighbour. Upon request, the post of�ce will hold your mail.

• Pay attention to billing cycles. If credit card or utility bills fail to arrive, contact companies immediately to ensure bills have not fraudulently been redirected.

Scrutinize all financial statements. Do not dismiss minor amounts and make sure to report errors to the bank as soon as possible.

• Do not carry unnecessary credit cards and leave your SIN card at home.

• Be careful about sharing your personal information, especially over the Internet and over the phone.

• Ensure you have

computer security consisting of a �rewall, anti-virus software, and/or spyware. An unprotected computer is like leaving your �ling cabinet out on the street.

• Be careful what you throw out; your recycling bin and garbage may be vulnerable.

Most importantly, every home should have a cross cut shredder. Shred documents that contain personal �nancial information, such as statements, credit card offers, copies of credit applications, receipts and insurance forms. The shredder is the number one crime prevention tool in identity theft.

• Check your credit bureau report at least once each year.

If you suspect or are a victim of identity theft, the following tips will assist you in the recovery process: collect your thoughts, start a log book, contact local police, contact �nancial institutions, contact a credit bureau, contact Phone Busters, restore your identi�cation, recheck credit reports annually, and get insurance protection.

$489,000 #710 - 668 COLUMBIA STREET, NEW WESTWelcome to Trapp + Holbrook, New Westminster’s premier address and newest building! This 1,000+ square foot 2 bedroom + den and 2 bath home features rare 10’ over height ceilings and an oversized balcony. Owner added upgraded fl ooring throughout and custom brick feature wall. This well designed corner suite boasts AMAZING views of the Fraser River, Pier Park, Patullo Bridge & mountains beyond (from every room). New and never occupied. New Home Warranty and GST Paid! Comes with parking and storage.

full-sized outdoor kitchens with huge gas range BBQ, a dining terrace and various lounging spots that are sheltered from the wind in strategic places by high glass walls.

Also on the lower level of the unit are three bedrooms (two with ensuites), a media room/den, a glass-walled corner office that would be the envy of any CEO, a family bathroom, another powder room and a small laundry. The master suite itself has a huge bedroom, a dressing room with an integrated safe, and a black-marble-clad ensuite with a tub in the window for spectacular city views and a walk-in shower with a giant rainshower head.

Upstairs is the larger of two laundry rooms, another powder room and access to the upper, split-level deck where the smaller of the two outdoor kitchens can be found. Up some steps, at the very top of the building, is the piece-de-resistance: a lap pool with jetted resistance for swimming, and a large separate hot tub. “We know of very few penthouses that have private rooftop

Taking up the top two floors of the otherwise sold-out Maddox tower in downtown Vancouver is a

spectacular, recently finished residence that has just come on the market for $7.8 million.

This two-storey, 3,493-square-foot “true” penthouse is the crowning jewel in Cressey’s development at 1351 Continental Street, just off Drake at the point where downtown meets Yaletown.

REW.ca was invited for a tour of the penthouse, just ahead of Cressey’s exclusive party at the suite for top-tier real estate agents.

REW was guided by Jason Turcotte, Cressey’s vice-president of development, who explains that only those with a security fob can access the private penthouse-level elevator corridor. For extra security, the owners can use the biometric fingerprint security system to close a sliding glass door between the corridor and the suite.

Inside the suite proper is a double-height lobby with floating steel stairs and a trio of modern steel globe

chandeliers. Underfoot are 24-by-24-inch white marble tiles that stretch through to the open-plan living and dining room. This great room enjoys the best of the 360-degrees of views, facing south and west and enjoying vistas over English Bay all the way to Vancouver Island.

Walking clockwise round the unit, the flooring changes from white marble to grey-brown hardwood as you enter the kitchen area, the highlights of which are the 18-foot quartz entertainment bar and the custom-built, 150-bottle, variable-temperature wine storage. The state-of-the art kitchen units and Sub-Zero appliances are in a recessed section that can be separated off with sliding frosted-glass doors – a feature sure to appeal to those who wish to keep cooking smells in their place.

Further round to the north-west corner of the unit is the family room, which leads out directly to the lower-level deck, the larger of two decks that total a staggering 2,400 square feet of outdoor living space boasting 360-degree city views. On this deck is one of two

pools in Vancouver,” says Turcotte.The entire penthouse is kitted out

with the latest technology, including an integrated system than enables a mobile device to control the entertainment, lighting, window coverings and Nest thermostat, among other elements. And down in the parkade is a private five-car garage for the penthouse owners’ exclusive use, as well as extra storage space.

With its stunning finishings and myriad fine details, the Maddox penthouse manages pull off being opulent without being ostentatious, luxurious but also highly livable. At $7.8 million (plus nearly $16,000 annual property taxes and $1,415 monthly strata fees), there’s no doubt that it’s an expensive piece of real estate. But it is also relatively sharply priced, considering what else is on the market at that price point.

Listing agent Malcolm Hasman told REW.ca, “I’ve seen a lot of high-end properties in my time, but this is really luxurious.”
