When Shadows and Dreams first tookto the stage for its summer Shakespeareproduction in Queen’s Park, Kerri Norris’slittle girl was a wee toddler who used totake naps during intermission in a suitcasestuffed with towels.

Now that little girl is 10, and Aeron willbe onstage with the rest of her family forthe company’s 10th anniversary produc-tion at the bandshell this July: a remountof its first outing,AMidsummer Night’sDream.

Shadows and DreamsTheatre Compa-ny was formed a decade ago after two the-atrical couples decided it was getting dif-ficult to juggle their acting and directingwork with the demands of raising smallchildren. So the couples – Norris and herhusband, Stephen Elcheshen, along withPatricia and Nigel Brooke – joined forc-es to form their own company and presentfamily-friendly theatre at Queen’s Park.

For their 10th anniversary show, they’llbe welcoming back some alumni fromthe original show and also reusing someof their costumes – with a steampunk re-make.The production, as with all Shad-ows and Dreams’ work, is created on aminimal budget. Norris makes all the

Standing on the steps ofthe NewWestminster court-houseThursday morning,Julie L’Heureux took sometime to answer questionsfrom a group of reporters.Just a few minutes earli-

er, Karim Meskine’s moth-er had heard the verdict shewas confident would be re-turned.

Her son’s killer, a youngoffender, was guilty of mur-der.

“There’s no way to de-scribe the way I feel; no-body can tell unless you go

through that,” she told themedia. “It has completelydestroyed and teared apartmy family for the rest of ourlives.”

B.C. Supreme Court Jus-tice Gregory Bowden foundthe accused, who can’t benamed in accordance withtheYouth Criminal Justice

Act, guilty of second-de-gree murder after beatingthe 19-year-old Meskine re-peatedly in the head with abaseball bat in December2013.

Meskine was attackedwhile walking near the 22ndStreet SkyTrain station onthe evening of Dec. 17,

2013. He was found uncon-scious and rushed to hospi-tal but never regained con-sciousness. He died threedays later.

The accused, who was16 at the time of the at-tack, pleaded guilty to man-slaughter, but Crown pros-ecutors rejected the plea,

insisting on a second-degreemurder charge.

The trial wrapped up inMay.

In his verdict, Bowdendetailed the events leadingup to and after the murder.

The executive director of Gen-esis House is calling last week’stargeted shooting near the half-way house “pretty stunning” anda “complete surprise.”

On June 30, police were calledout to the 300 block of Carnar-von Street, where an injured manwas found.The victim, StevenPorsch, was known to police andhad been residing at the halfwayhouse since April, according tothe organization’s Robert Ches-terman.

“I think this was a very ran-

dom event and we don’t have allthe facts in yet, so we’ll definite-ly look at if there’s something wecan do to make sure this kind ofthing doesn’t happen again,” hetold the Record, adding Porchwas on his way to work at thetime of the shooting.

Porsch’s criminal record in-volves commissioning a string ofarsons, some targeting the prop-erties of Abbotsford business-man Paul Esposito, whose prop-erty losses were in excess of $9million, according to court doc-uments.

A third party had hired Porschto carry out the arsons for “busi-

ness purposes,” and he was to bepaid between $5,000 and $7,500for each blaze.

As part of a sting operation in2005, police recovered 40 fire-arms from Porsch, including sixmachine guns, one assault rifleand nine silencers. Police paid$138,400 for the lot, money thatwas never recovered.

Court records reveal Porch’smother described him as “per-fect” and as a role model foryouth to emulate.

“However, Porsch admittedlyled a double life that shielded his

NewWestminster city council isdoling out grants outside of its an-nual grant process – and not every-one is happy about it.

Council has approved a grant forthe Royal City Curling Club to sup-port its efforts in hosting the 2017B.C. junior curling championshipin December.The grant includes$1,500 in cash and $2,500 in in-kind services.

Diane Perry, the city’s manag-er of community development, saidthe Royal City Curling Club wasawarded the competition after thecity’s grant deadline and prior to the2017 grant program.

“It’s a one-off,” she said.In addition to bringing economic

benefits to the NewWest, the RoyalCity Curling Club noted the eventwould promote the city on a nation-al scale, as the junior men’s and jun-ior women’s championships will betelevised on Sportsnet.

While she’s expressed concernabout giving out grants outside ofthe regular grant process, Coun.MaryTrentadue supported the re-quest because of the circumstanc-es of the grant. She plans to bringforward a motion at a later date re-garding requests for funds outsideof the city’s timelines.

The NewWestminsterSchool District has final-ized its plans on what it in-tends to do with the nearly$300,000 in administra-tive savings returned by theprovince last month.

Some of the money willbe used to hire a full-timedistrict learning supportteacher.The position willsupport resource teachersacross the district and as-sist staff in the planning, de-velopment, implementationand evaluation of educa-tional programs.

“This is a position thatwas originally in the districtpreviously, and I believe inthe days when money be-came tight, the position wasremoved,” said superinten-dent Pat Duncan.

The administrative sav-ings will also be used to in-crease occupational andphysical therapy services.Right now, the district em-ploys a part-time occupa-

tional therapist and a part-time physical therapist.Their workload would in-crease by approximately oneday a week.

Duncan said money willalso be put towards a grad-uation coach for aborigi-nal students, someone whoworks with students, teach-ers and counsellors to de-velop a graduation plan spe-cific to each student’s needs.The graduation coach willbe a teacher who is givenone instructional block oftime each semester at NewWestminster SecondarySchool.The initiative will bea pilot project that will bereviewed and refined as re-quired.

Meanwhile, two full-timechild-care workers havebeen added to the 2016/17school year. Prior, therewere four child-care work-ers at Qayqayt, McBride,Tweedsmuir and Kelvin el-ementary schools. As theseschools move to a K-5 mod-el in the fall, with the ma-jority of Grade 6 and 7 stu-

dents heading to the newlybuilt Fraser River MiddleSchool, Duncan said beef-ing up the staffing levels willalleviate the workload andprovide better coverage toboth elementary and middleschools.

The school board willalso be injecting $20,000into early literacy resources.

The funds were part of amandatory administrativesavings plan imposed ondistricts across British Co-lumbia. Last year, the B.C.Liberals announced that to-gether, districts would haveto cut $54 million in admin-istrative savings from theirbudgets – $29 million forthe 2015/16 school year and$25 million for 2016/17.

But last month, the gov-ernment announced dis-tricts would be able to keepsavings from the 2016/17school year. For NewWest,that amounted to $295,560.

“Anytime you get tospend money, they’re notdifficult plans,” Duncansaid. “It’s all good.”

British Columbia to supportevents being held in NewWestminster in 2016 and toassist with its annual generalmeeting.

Trentadue opposed thatgrant, noting the society ap-plied late last year and waswarned to submit applica-tions as part of the regu-lar grant process. By apply-ing outside of that process,Trentadue said group’s re-

quest for funds isn’t con-sidered with all of the otherapplicants – some of whomdidn’t get grants from thecity.

Coun. Chuck Puchmayrsaid he supports having flex-ibility to provide grants out-side the regular process.

A staff report noted thatcouncil approved a budg-et of $834,000 for the city’s2016 grants but had award-ed $920,744 as of June 13.

Is theWorld’s LargestTinSoldier a guy lurking in thebushes or a prominent fig-ure on the waterfront?Thatdepends who you ask.

The City of NewWest-minster has hired a consult-ing firm to develop a visualidentity for the waterfront.Council members support-ed the plan to brand thearea asTheWaterfront, butthey’ve had mixed opinions

on a visual design to accom-pany the branding – withtheWorld’s LargestTin Sol-dier being the sticking point.

Coun Bill Harper said thetin soldier is a “prominentfigure” and should be in-cluded in the design.

Coun. Patrick Johnstonedisagreed. He thinks it lookslike the tin soldier is staringdown over the city.

“I don’t see it fits,” he

said. “It looks a little bitlike Gort from The Day theEarth Stood Still. I don’tthink it adds to it.”

Coun. Jaimie McEvoysaid there’s a “pretty min-ute difference” between thetwo designs, while Coun.Chuck Puchmayr believesthe tin soldier could enticesome people to visit the wa-terfront.

Mayor Jonathan Cote

preferred the design withoutthe tin soldier.

“I think it looks a littletoo cluttered,” he said of thedesign including the tin sol-dier. “When I look at it, Isee a guy hanging out of thebushes.”

Council voted 3-2 in fa-vour of a design includingthe tin soldier.

Scalpingcampsites is justnotrightWe probably should have

written this editorial in Jan-uary – because that’s whenit might have helped some-one.

But we didn’t. So, nowwe, like thousands of oth-er folks in B.C. who actu-ally believe in fairy talesand tourism ads, thoughtwe could book a provincialcampsite before the kids goback to school.

Dream on.By now most campsites

are booked as the province

has moved to a virtual full-time online reservation sys-tem.

Gone are the days whenyou used to be able to sayon a Friday morning, “Let’sgo camping this weekend!”Now, you have to look atthe vacation schedule andplan ahead – way ahead –to ensure you even have achance at a campsite. Book-ing a European cruise iseasier.

It all started decades agowhen the Liberals, then un-

der Gordon Campbell,started enticing private de-velopers to view the greatoutdoors as a NorthernDisneyland to be squeezedfor sparse family dollars.

Large campgrounds wereto have “entertainment” fa-cilities that would make theold nature trails seem, well,boring. Folks might want topitch a tent, but there wereyurts and modern cabins tobe had as well.

A backlash by BritishColumbians, who actually

thought camping was aboutgetting away from civiliza-tion and all that it entails,cooled the government’sjets a bit, but you just knewthey were waiting for anoth-er time.

And that time has appar-ently come.With a bit of atwist.

Now, you just can’t get aspot in a provincial camp-ground, so you’re forced togo to private campgrounds.We’re not saying that therearen’t a lot of very nice pri-

vate campgrounds in B.C.There are. But you can usu-ally hear the folks in thenext site snoring (to putit nicely) and, of course,there’s the corner “coun-try” store full of everythingyou tried to leave behind inthe city. It just isn’t the sameas a “real” campgroundwhere you can hear the softcrunch of leaves underfootwhen a raccoon trundles byin the night.

Before this last CanadaDay long weekend, the lack

of campsites even triggereda death threat. Some busi-nesses are “scalping” reser-vations for foreign camp-ers and making a big profit.This is wrong. B.C. taxpay-ers subsidize those camp-grounds and parks andshould get first dibs onthem.

When campsite reserva-tions are scalped like rockconcert tickets, it’s time fora better plan. Let’s fix thisbefore someone starts tip-ping over outhouses.

Six issuesthatswayB.C.votes

The next provincial elec-tion is just 10 months away,and a handful of issues seemto be emerging as the onesthat may have the biggestimpact on the vote’s out-come.These are the onesgetting more media cover-age – and therefore are be-ing put in front of the vot-ers to a greater extent – thanothers.The list may changein the months ahead, ofcourse, but for now theseare theTop Six:

MEGAPROJECTS:

Both the Site C dam andthe Massey Bridge are high-ly controversial and neatlyprovide a contrast betweenthe two major parties.TheB.C. Liberals, of course, areenthusiastic backers of bothprojects, while the NDP op-poses the dam and is criticalof the bridge to replace theaging MasseyTunnel.

HOUSINGAFFORDABILITY:

While not a province-wide issue, it is a big onein MetroVancouver, whereseven B.C. Liberal-held rid-ings could tip the NDP’sway if enough voters thinkthe B.C. government isn’tdoing enough to address thelack of affordable housing inthe region. After taking hertime, Premier Christy Clarkseems to have hit upon agame plan on this front.She has 10 months to earncredibility on this issue, andso far she’s been upstagedby NDP housing critic Da-vid Eby.

K-12 EDUCATION:

There’s a lot of noise be-

ing made in the educa-tion arena, but it’s not clearwhether it will translate tohaving a big impact on theelection. Most voters don’thave children in the schoolsystem, and voter turnoutduring school board elec-tions is notoriously low.

Nevertheless, passionsrun high in this area, so it’sone to keep an eye on.

RESOURCEDEVELOPMENT:

Another wedge issue be-tween the pro-developmentB.C. Liberals and the most-ly anti-development NDP.It’s another issue that playsdifferently outside of MetroVancouver than within ur-ban areas, and it should so-lidify the B.C. Liberals’ holdon its up-country seats.

CRIME:

It’s a big issue in a vi-tal battleground area: Sur-rey, where there will now benine ridings up for grabs (anaddition of one). At leasttwo of those ridings couldswing to either party.

LEADERSHIP:

Premier Christy Clark iswell-known, of course, andis a polarizing figure. Hercounterpart, NDP lead-er John Horgan, is not wellknown and needs to provehimself.This can be both anopportunity or a landminefor Horgan.The B.C. Liber-als will be trying hard to de-fine him along very negativelines, so Horgan has to workhard to define himself alongterms he’s comfortable with.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-

cal reporter for Global B.C.

City didn’t consult onfood truck issueDear Editor The June 30 issueof theRecordreported that a “newbylaw” regarding theoperationof food trucks inNewWestminsterwas recently approvedby city council.I amverydisappointed to findout about this

turnof events, as it affects our community andespecially thosewho live andwork in theoneblockofQueensboroughapproved for suchoperations. I amcurious to know if anyone intheblockwas askedabout thismatter.Whywouldour city council approve legisla-

tionwithout prior discussionwith residentsandbusinesses affectedby this bylaw? Ibelieve that this decision is dictatorial andtotally opposed toopengovernance andtransparency.Whena zoningbylawchange isto be considered, all property ownerswithin aspecific distanceof theproject property needtobe informedof thependingbylawchangesandwhen thematterwill bebrought beforecouncil.Aswell, anyonewho feels that they are

impactedby the change is allowed to expresstheir opinions before council prior to a vote onthebylawchange.I believe that this newbylawdidnot receive

the sameconsideration and therefore shouldbe struckdownuntil it is brought before allthose taxpayerswhoaredirectly affectedbyits passage, not just inQueensboroughbutthroughout the city.I amnot against the approval of food trucks

to operate in our city; I amopposed to the lackof openness and transparencyof city staffandour city council in their rush topush this legis-lation through, especially to thedisrespect ofthe taxpayers’ rights andknowledge.There is an active residents’ association in

someone for money at theSkyTrain station the nightof the murder, and set upa meeting with someone tobuy an expensive phone.

But the intended vic-tim got suspicious afterthey asked him to meet thegroup in a dark area by thestation, and he cancelled thedeal.

Friends testified the ac-cused was upset, and, whilewalking back, he struck Me-skine, who happened to bewalking along the path nearthe station.

The judge found theyouth hit Meskine with thebat at least three times us-ing a significant amount offorce, causing multiple skullfractures. He was foundby a passerby in a pool ofblood and taken to hospitalwhere he later died.

Less than two hours afterthe attack, the youth called911 and admitted to rob-bing a man. He was arrest-ed at his home by police.

The judge noted theteen had been drinking andsmoking pot the evening ofthe incident but found the

youth to be only mildly in-toxicated. Bowden also saidthere was little evidence theattack was robbery and con-cluded the accused intend-ed to cause bodily harm.

A sentencing date had notbeen set prior to the Re-

cord’s deadline. Crownlawyers told the judge theyintend to seek an adult sen-tence.

Outside the courthouse,Meskine’s mother said theverdict was just the first stepand she was looking forward

to the sentencing.L’Heureux said even if

her son’s killer spends therest of his life behind bars, itwon’t bring Meskine back.

“My grieving process isgoing to be for the rest ofmy life until I die,” she said.

Chesterman said if Gene-sis House had known some-one was trying to kill him,he would have never beenaccepted into the facility.

“(We) had no idea,” hesaid. “The thing is, peo-ple with gang affiliations,they do go to prison andthen they come out.Thecommunity residential fa-cility we operate, the ideais we transition offendersback into the community,we monitor the conditionsthe Parole Board of Canadasets and try to make a suc-cessful reintegration intothe community.

“We try to be very goodneighbours here, so it’s ob-viously a pretty stunning,awful thing to happen, andlike I said, if there’s anythingwe can do to make sure thiskind of thing doesn’t hap-

pen again, we will.”Meanwhile, Coun. Bill

Harper said residentsshouldn’t feel unsafe, not-ing the neighbourhood is astone’s throw away from thepolice department.

“(Residents are) not injeopardy,” he added. “Thisperson was probably injeopardy given the past cir-cumstances of his life.”

Harper said that, as far ashe knows, an incident likethis has never happened inthe Royal City. He said hetrusts the national paroleboard to do its job and workwith agencies like GenesisHouse.

Police continue their in-vestigation into the Car-narvon Street shooting andare asking any witnesses tocome forward by calling604-525-5411.The last up-date on Porsch was that hewas in critical condition inhospital.

City council recent-ly endorsed a plan forthe uptown that includespermanent crosswalk en-hancements at Sixth andBelmont streets and con-struction of a temporaryparklet adjacent to theTimHorton’s where people cansit, socialize and enjoy thecity.

The parklet includesmovable tables and chairs,fixed seating and plantersto buffer the space from thevehicular traffic on BelmontStreet.

But that’s just the begin-ning.

The public realm im-provements also include thecreation of a social “lawn”next to the parklet that in-cludes artificial grass, out-door games and colour-ful Adirondack chairs.Thatside of the road now hasfive back-in angled parkingstalls and Belmont Streethas been restricted to one-way traffic.

Before the parklet waseven completed, it was filledwith locals who were enjoy-ing a place to sit and soakup the uptown ambience.

While the city believesthe plan will transform thestreetscape around Sixthand Belmont into an area

the public can enjoy, someare fear it will contributeto nuisance crimes in theneighbourhood.

TheViceroy’s stratacouncil has met with cityofficials in the past to dis-cuss concerns about drugdealing, drunks and peo-ple sleeping in doorways inthe area.

Uptown resident GordonGrant is pleased the parkletand “lawn” may be tempo-rary and can be removed ifnecessary.

He likes the idea of par-klets but worries about lo-cating them in areas wherenuisance behaviours are al-ready causing problems forneighbours.

“This particular area isnot a good place,” he said.“I hope I am totally wrong.I hope it works. I just don’tsee it.”

The strata only learnedof the city’s plan for Bel-mont Street a week beforethe parklet was created andbefore the city changed theroad from a two-way to aone-way street.

“They should have con-sulted with all the neigh-bouring businesses and res-idents along Belmont Streetbefore proceeding withthis,” Grant said. “Theyseem to have had their ownagenda.”

In an email to Grant,Mayor Jonathan Cote saidthe initiatives are consis-tent with the Great Streetsprogram aimed at makingcommercial districts morewelcoming places.

“I fundamentally be-lieve that you are not go-ing to solve your concerns

by making the area an un-friendly place to be, wherepeople do not want to gath-er and there are no com-fortable or interesting plac-es to sit or be,” he wrote.“I believe it is that kind ofmentality and approachthat leads to streets that fallinto decline. Communitiesneed to embrace their pub-lic spaces, not hide awayfrom them.”

Cote said the success ofthis project will come down

to how the parklet space isdesigned and programmed.

“Success for me is to cre-ate a public space wherepeople of all socio-econom-ic demographics feel wel-

come and comfortable inthis space,” he said. “I ampassionate about our GreatStreets program and see ahuge opportunity to cre-ate a heart and communi-

ty gathering place for up-town.”

BuildinganewFrontStreetWestern part of parkade now [email protected]

The City of NewWest-minster is forging aheadwith work aimed at reo-pening Front Street to traf-fic in August.

Front Street has beenclosed to through trafficsince Feb. 1, when the cityembarked on work to de-molish the western sec-tion of the Front Streetparkade, make improve-ments to Front Street andbuild a new Front Streetmews.With the parkadedeconstruction complete,contractors hired by thecity are now working onthe road itself.

“They have removedall the existing asphalt onthe truck side, the throughroad,” said KeithWhite-ly, the city’s project man-

ager. “What they are doingis removing the road base,which they are replac-ing with a better quality ofroad base.”

The city is still aiming toreopen Front Street to ve-hicles, including trucks, onAug. 22,Whitely said.

“By that time, they willalready be working on themews portion of it,” headded. “The mews will notbe officially completed un-til late November, earlyDecember.”

Sidewalks, asphalt, andcurb and gutter work alongthe mews are expected tobe done by October, butlandscaping and finishingwork will follow.

Part of the City of NewWestminster’s vision forthe waterfront includes im-proving connectivity be-tween the downtown and

the riverfront – in part byremoving a portion of theparkade.The mews willfeature wider sidewalks,street furniture and trees,

lighting, traffic calmingand angled parking in frontof local businesses.

While Front Street isclosed to through traffic,

motorists are still able toaccess local businesses viaFrontage Road, the narrowroad running in front ofbusinesses.

Whitely said the citycontinues to meet withFront Street residents andbusinesses to keep themapprised about the project.

TragicallyHipmaybepartofcity [email protected]

NewWest residents maybe able to watch theTragi-cally Hip sing hits like NewOrleans is Sinking whileenjoying the ColumbiaStrEAT FoodTruck Fes-tival.

The Aug. 20 food truckfestival happens to be theday of theTragically Hip’sfinal performance fromtheir hometown of King-ston, Ont. After announc-ing that lead singer GordDownie has terminal braincancer, the band planned afarewell concert series, withthe final concert airing onCBC-TV on the day of thefood truck festival.

The plan would see ahugeTV screen hoisted ona crane on Columbia Street.

“It’s the right ambiance.You get sort of an outdoorfestival concert feel,” saidKendra Johnston, executivedirector of the DowntownNewWestminster BusinessImprovement Association.“We are proposing the east

end of Columbia Street,near the SkyTrain bridgewhere there is plenty ofroom. It is a slower end ofthe street on event day.”

The association has beenin contact with the CBCand is on a list of potentialplaces to view the concert.It expects to get more de-tails from the CBC on howthe proposal would work bynext week.

NewWestminster citycouncil approved a fund-ing request from the BIA tocover the costs associatedwith the live streaming oftheTragically Hip concerton a big screen during itsfood truck festival.The BIArequested $16,500 in cashand $5,000 in in-kind cityservices.

“It just seemed likea natural synergy to tryand make this work,” saidCoun. Patrick Johnstone. “Iwould suggest we do searchfor sponsorship opportuni-ties.The costs surprised mea little bit.”

What do you try to im-part to these children?

That they have some-where safe to go and thatpeople care about them.

I try to make sure theyare good to each other andother people and they get toexperience as much as theywould get to experience in ahome with more resources,because a lot of them don’thave a lot of money.

What kind of food doyou cook for them?

Everything. Like, any

country. I’ve made Ger-man food like schnitzeland spaetzle, and I’ve donefalafel.

What do the kids thinkof you?

I don’t know, they likeme, they like my food. A lotof them make jokes (that)they come here for the food.

How did you get intothis type of work?

I got a job doing sum-mer daycamps for kids be-tween the ages of six to 12,and then I was really suc-cessful, and they eventuallyasked me to cover for some-one who injured themselvesand couldn’t cook. …ThenI took on full-time work just

being the cook. And eventu-ally they decided to take meon to work with youth.

What are youmostpassionate about in yourjob?

I think I really like beingable to show them that theyare cared about, and I dothat through food and alsojust listening to what theyhave to say and telling themwhat they deserve to hear.

… I like being able to makethe kids feel good aboutthemselves.

What’s the hardestpart about your job?

Oh, it can be very de-pressing because a lot ofyouths’ families have diffi-cult and traumatic living sit-uations or have histories oftrauma.You get exposed toa lot of things you couldn’teven imagine, and you haveto work past that and tryto be happy knowing whathas happened to some ofthese individuals.That partis kind of sad, knowing badthings happen to good peo-ple. But the good outweighsthe bad, and it’s a lot of fun.

costumes – her living roomis, at the moment, filled withfoam she’s using to createsteampunk hats, and she’sbusily repurposing as manyof the original costumes asshe can find. (Yes, there willbe steampunk fairies.)

“It’s pretty incrediblewhat she can do with al-most no money,” says Patri-cia Brooke.

They also get help fromother family members: Nor-ris’s dad lends a hand byhelping to create set piecesand props out of found, sal-vaged and repurposed ma-terials, and Brooke’s moth-er-in-law keeps them all insnacks and is in charge of“wrangling” the kids at re-hearsals and shows.

The shows are free, sothey don’t earn money fromthe productions (beyond thehonorarium provided by thecity’s parks and recreationdepartment). But for bothcouples, it’s been worth allthe effort to be able to dowhat they love outdoors inthe park.

They’ve watched a loyalaudience develop over theyears – alongside those whojust happen to wander byand find them in the parkwill be those who came spe-

cifically to see their produc-tions.

“We’ve had people comeeven if it’s raining to see theshow,” Norris notes.

Of course, producing out-door theatre is an entire-ly different game than pro-ducing a show indoors, in acontrolled environment.

They’ve faced everythingfrom the expected noisehazards – planes and si-rens – to unexpected oneslike karaoke from the picnic

shelter up the hill.They’vehad passersby accidentallywander into the show, andkids and dogs run up onstage to join the fun.

Knowing that, Nor-ris notes, they approach anoutdoor show rather differ-ently than an indoor one:outside, subtlety takes abackseat to “big, loud, fun-ny, faster,” with lots of au-dience interaction, plentyof anachronisms and a fewinside jokes thrown in fortheir own amusement.

“We’re really all abouthaving fun,” Brooke says.

Both actors, being moth-ers themselves, also encour-age people to bring theirkids out.AMidsummerNight’s Dream – what withfairies and all manner ofmagical creatures – is a kid-friendly production just forthe spectacle, and the envi-ronment allows kids to runaround or lie down on a pic-nic blanket under the treewhile the show’s going on.

“It’s a great way to get in-troduced to theatre, so theydon’t have to sit in a seat,”Norris notes.

Plus, they’ll be able to seeother young folks onstage– including Aeron and herseven-year-old sister Cay-leigh, plus the three Brookekids: Jack, 12, Sam, 10, andKatie, 6.

All performances takeplace rain or shine – ifthere’s an audience, there’sa show.AMidsummer Night’s

Dream is on July 16,17,23,24,30 and 31 at 2 p.m.,with6:30 p.m. shows on the Sat-urdays (July 16,23 and 30).For more information, call604-515-0704 or see www.shadowsanddreams.org.

If you see Howard DaiandTiger Xu around theQueen’s Park bandshell,hauling rugs, cushions andboard games onstage, don’tworry.They haven’t decid-ed to move in.They’re justsetting up for OpenStage– a new series of open-air,open-mike nights with atwist or two.

Dai and Xu, who pro-duce a variety of theatricalwork under their profession-al monikerTwo Gents ofNewWest, are launching thenew series this summer.

The whole idea is sim-ple.They set up the stage in“living room” style – withsome big rugs, some bigcomfortable cushions, endtables, board games andlanterns – and invite peopleout to enjoy a night of mu-sic, spoken word and otherperformances. (Oh, yes, andof course there’s a snack ta-ble, too.)

“The idea was like a liv-ing room setting, an atmo-sphere similar to a coffee

shop open mike,” Dai ex-plained.

Audience members canjust sprawl on the rug, so-cialize and eat some snacks,or they can take to the mi-crophone to sing, play aninstrument, recite poetryor share some other talent.Each night will also includea 30- to 50-minute set by afeatured youth performer.

The sessions will run ev-ery other weekend, startingon Sunday, July 10.

“It’s just to encouragepeople to go outside,” Xusaid, noting that his stud-ies in Montreal – he’s cur-rently studying physiologyat McGill University – re-minded him how nice it isto live in a climate wherethe outdoors is accessibleyear-round. “That’s why Ithought of the bandshell,

it’s perfect. It’s really a greatvenue, and I wanted to dosomething unique.”

Which is why the audi-ence isn’t going to be out onthe benches, but rather onthe stage to be a true partof the experience. Not onlydoes it bring them closer tothe performers, but it alsomeans the nights can go onregardless of weather, sincethe bandshell is covered andwalled on three sides.

Each OpenStage sessionis set to start at 7:30 andrun for a couple of hours,but people can come bywhenever they like and stayas long as they want.

The vibe is youth-focused– the featured perform-ers were all found throughthe MomentumYouth ArtsMovement in NewWest,and they range in age from13 to 24. Both Dai and Xuhope the nights will offera chance for young adultswho are away at school allyear long to drop back inand catch up when they re-turn for the summer.

Should you happen to beolder – or younger – than

that demographic, howev-er, you’re still welcome. Allthe performers will be fam-ily-friendly and appropri-ate for all ages, and there’sno upper limit on who canturn out.

“Anyone is free to join,everyone can just come ondown,” Xu said.

They’ll have a guitar,ukulele and keyboard avail-able for those who want touse them, and there will bea microphone and soundsystem.The two are get-ting support from the ArtsCouncil of NewWestmin-ster and MasseyTheatre,and they received a Neigh-

bourhood Small Grant fromtheVancouver Foundationto help offset the costs ofsome equipment – a mixer,microphone and some ca-bling.

The rest of the supplieshave been cobbled togetherfrom a variety of sources

The Act categorizes several kindsof amalgamations. First, it distin-guishes between an amalgama-tion resulting in a corporationwith its home jurisdiction outside

BC (called a foreign corporation) and anamalgamation resulting in a BC company.

Second, the Act distinguishes between a regular amalgamation anda short form amalgamation. Both result in a BC company. Third, theAct distinguishes between a court approved amalgamation and anon-court approved amalgamation. What does a regular amal-gamation involve? Amalgamating companies must use a regularamalgamation when individuals or unrelated companies hold theirshares. In a three-cornered amalgamation, one amalgamating com-pany exchanges its shares for securities in a company other than theamalgamated company. This column is legal information, not legaladvice.

Tennis elbow and golfers’ elboware common names for tendini-tis of the elbow. Although their

names imply specific activities causingthe injury, tennis and golfers’ elbow canbe caused by many sport, recreational

and work activities. People suffering from tennis/golfers’ elbowwill experience pain in the outer/inner sides of the elbow. Pain isaggravated by use of that arm (gripping, lifting), and can resultin weakness and loss of function. When treating tendinitis, yourPhysiotherapist will assess the area to determine the underlyingcause. Possible causes include muscle weakness/imbalance,joint stiffness, poor sport or work techniques, and poorly sizedsport equipment or tools. Although exercise may seem like thewrong thing to do, your Physiotherapist will provide stretchingand strengthening exercises to specifically address the injuredarea and get you back to the activities you enjoy.

Most people think that theyare drinking enough fluid (wa-ter) throughout the day, how-ever a proper fluid balance is

even more important in the heat of thesummer and for optimal performanceand a healthy diet. It is important to

remember that we are always losing water, whether it is throughsweating or through respiration and evaporation from the skin.Water imbalances can lead to dehydration which can leadto further imbalances in the body. Ideally, it is estimated weintake 30-40 ml per kilogram of bodyweight. So if you weigh 50kg (110lb), ideally you’re looking at 1.5-2 L a day. Keep in mindaround 1 L of water comes from food, so in all you’re looking at3L of water a day.

Dentures rely on the supportof bone and tissues for stability.When you lose your natural teeth,bone does not have the support

that it needs to maintain its structure,therefore it begins to shrink. This shrink-age is a slow, ongoing process. If youhave been wearing the same denturesfor a long period of time, your bone and

soft tissues will have changed from when you first received thosedentures. This change will cause the dentures to become looseand may cause discomfort. If this is the case, it is important to haveyour dentures and your mouth assessed to see if you need either areline, rebase or even a new denture. Dentures on average can lastupto 5 years before they need to be replaced and upto about 2years before the dentures need to be assessed for a reline. At PrimeDenture Clinic, we can assess your dentures and help you decidewhat options are best suited for your needs.

The most important thing inmaintaining a healthy mouthduring pregnancy is making sureyou keep up your daily oral careroutines including regular dental

hygiene visits and check-ups. Preventionis key and minimally invasive dental treat-ment, such as a regular cleaning, is totally

safe for you and your baby during pregnancy. If your dentist diagno-ses something during a check up, then she or he will discuss the ad-vantages and disadvantages of waiting until after birth for treatmentversus treating sooner. This will generally be determined by the levelof severity of the problem; something deemed low priority, not caus-ing pain, can generally wait until after birth or be treated during thesecond trimester when the risk of treatment is lowest. Something thatis more acute - pain, swelling or signs of infection - may need to betreated earlier. If you are experiencing problems like this you shouldconsult with your dentist as soon as possible - your overall healthcontributes to your baby’s overall health. If you are pregnant andhave questions regarding your oral health it is always best to consultwith a dental professional who will be more than willing to answerany questions you may have!

NewWest residents areinvited to take a seat at ta-bles and chairs that will bepopping up around the city.

The city’s public seat-ing pilot project is gettingunderway, with bright redmovable tables and chairsbeing placed in spacesaround the city. By the endof next week, movable furni-ture will be located at AnvilCentre, the Belmont Streetparklet, the library and the

Queensborough Communi-ty Centre.

Erika Mashig, the city’sparks and open space plan-ner, said the city has about45 sets of furniture to dis-tribute to a variety of loca-tions in NewWest.The cityis still seeking opportunitiesto partner with various busi-nesses or business improve-ment areas to launch the re-maining furniture.

The idea behind the pro-

ject is to give people theability to adapt the publicspace to meet their needs,whether that’s using the fur-niture to eat lunch, work,hold meetings or relax.

“We recognize that flex-ible seating is important tocreating a successful publicspace,” said Mayor JonathanCote. “We hope to see eve-ryone taking advantage ofthe seats this summer.”

Last November, Cote at-

tended a conference in Dal-las,Texas, where he noticedmovable tables and chairs inpublic spaces such as parks,streets and public squares.

In NewWest, city staff,businesses or adjacent prop-erty owners will manage thefurniture in some locationsby moving it in or out ofstorage every morning andevening or securing it over-night.

Fun in the sun:One-year-old LucasandVincentZhuangcool off in thesprayparkatQueen’sPark. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like sprayparkweatherwill return for theweekend, as the forecast is calling forcool and rainydays.PHOTOJENNIFERGAUTHIER

[email protected]

It is a scene that harkensback to the early decadesof the Royal City. A stern-wheeler heads off on theFraser River, its large pad-dlewheel churning up thewater, making its way eitherup or downstream, carryingpassengers out for a day offun, food and scenery.

Today we watch the MVNative but many years agoit might have been the On-ward, the Paystreak, theSkeena, or any one of thehundreds of riverboats thatplied the Fraser.

Going on a riverboat ex-cursion was something thatoccurred regularly in theearly years of this city.

The river was at thetown’s doorstep.There werelots of vessels available.Many of the captains andowners of these boats wereoffering their services, oftenfor free.

And remember that thiswas a much simpler timewithout the vast, ever-ex-panding array of activitieswe have today.

A boat trip for a fewhours or a day was a won-derful diversion and an or-ganized excursion that in-cluded extra activities waseven better. But where to goand what to do?

Some voyages headed up-stream to the Pitt River af-ter picking up passengersat landings along the way.The cruise would stop at afew places, visit a farm ortwo, perhaps enjoy a pic-nic, and then on the returntrip a band, often a part ofthe organizing group, wouldperform while the travellerssat back, relaxed and some-times danced.

Other trips went furtherupstream to Derby, nearFort Langley, where therewould be the requisite foodand music.

But up here games, races,

sports and other similar funusually took place in a largeopen area that was a fantas-tic feature of this location.Stories are told of the returnfrom Derby being quite qui-et as everyone, especially theyoung, were totally wornout after an active outing.

We have also noted ex-cursions on the Fraser thatwent down to Ladner orSteveston.

Activities might have beenmuch the same as othertrips, but on occasion some-thing very special and differ-ent was added to the day.

Steveston had an operahouse, and a performancewas arranged for those ar-

riving via the steamboat ex-cursion. People were pickedup along the way down, en-joyed the concert, and thensailed home.

Other cruises and excur-sions went to Burrard Inletsites, across the Gulf to Na-naimo, Ladysmith or loca-tions on the Gulf Islands,and sometimes ventured allthe way toVictoria.

There are also stories oftrips into Puget Sound toPortTownsend, Port Gam-ble and Bellingham Bay.

July 1st and July 4th werehighlight dates for such ear-ly excursions as Americanand Canadian communitiescelebrated in fine form, of-ten with reciprocal events.

So next time you see theMV Native sailing by, pausefor a moment and think ofthe history it is re-enact-ing and all the people whosailed on the paddlewheel-ers of the Fraser.

The NewWestminsterMuseum has unearthedsome interesting finds for itslatest exhibition.

Did you know that mon-key puzzle tree seeds are ed-ible? Or that pheasants usedto run around in NewWest-minster’s wild areas because19th century hunters setthem loose? Or that you canrecognize Douglas fir pi-necones by scales that look

like mice trying to hide in-side?These are some of thefacts you’ll find at Branch-ing Out:The Plants of NewWestminster, a new exhibi-tion at the NewWestminsterMuseum in Anvil Centre.

“Some of the storiesabout plants are quite fun-

ny,” said curator Oana Ca-pota. “Around 1940, for ex-ample, the city’s ElectricLight Department trucktried to move some mon-key puzzle trees.The truckended up being lifted off theground as they tried to liftthe trees.”

The exhibition, whichruns until Nov. 13, tells sto-

ries about some of the city’smost famous plants andthe people who grew or atethem.

Museum staff spentabout a year researchingplants in the area and dis-covered some interestingfacts, such as learning thatNewWest once had one ofthe largest seed plants in

North America, sending outSitka spruce, Douglas firand western hemlock seedsaround the world. B.C.Hemlock was processedinto wood at a local mill andused to make high-qualityviolins.

“Museum staff also un-covered some rarely seenartefacts. One is a box of

dehydrated peas from the1940s. In 1946, a familypacked up their entire kitch-en for a move and rediscov-ered the contents only dec-ades later.They donatedeverything to the museum,as a time capsule of 1940sfood,” said a press releaseabout the exhibition. “Andtwo of the Lower Main-land’s remaining pheasants

turned up in the museum’scollection as taxidermy tro-phies.”

The NewWestminsterMuseum is open daily from10 a.m. to 5 p.m., exceptThursdays when it staysopen till 8 p.m. It’s locatedin Anvil Centre at 777 Co-lumbia St.

Digging intothehistoryof thecity’splants

Whoops:Around1940, staff in the city’s Electric LightDepartment tried tomove somemonkeypuzzle trees,which resulted in the truckbeing liftedoff theground.

A MUSICAL COMEDY YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS!


Jr.BelliesbuildplayoffmomentumNewWest looks to make statement in Friday’s final regular season game vs [email protected]

The final stretch has beenmapped out, and all that awaits isthe details.

The NewWestminster juniorSalmonbellies continue to cruise,outscoring its rivals 37-8 over twogames, includingTuesday’s 14-4victory over Langley.

While they wrap up the seasonFriday in Coquitlam against theundefeated Adanacs, everythingthey’ve done recently appearspointed to the playoffs.

At 14-6, NewWest is dead-locked with the Delta Islandersin a battle for second place in theB.C. Junior A Lacrosse League.No matter the outcome from thatfinal game, the semifinal show-down will be Delta and NewWest.

Until it starts, the Bellies arekeeping their focus on the gameat hand.

“From what I’ve seen in thepast, there’s a good chance Co-quitlam will rest some of theirplayers and want to avoid any in-jury risks,” NewWest coachToddStockdale said of Friday’s matchup at the Poirier Sports Cen-tre. “But we won’t be resting any-one. It is a great motivator for us

to make sure (Coquitlam) doesn’tfinish with a perfect record.”

That perfect record includes a10-6 decision over NewWest lastmonth. Since then, the Bellieshave put it into overdrive, scoring55 goals over three games whilesurrendering just 14.

Tuesday’s win saw Connor Rob-inson crack the 100-point plateauwith three goals and two assists,while Jeremy Bosher and AdamDickson contributed two goalsand three assists each.

For the second game in a row,NewWest conceded the open-ing goal, then swamped their rivalwith a well-balanced attack.

“(Langley) got a quick one offthe first shot and caught us offguard,” said Stockdale. “We justdidn’t concentrate on that shift,

but from that point on we were fo-cused and got a full team effortfrom everyone.”

It was a similar story in Nanai-mo on the weekend, where Dick-son counted six goals – reachingthe 50-goal mark in his 18th game– and the squad gained momen-tum as the game went on.

Newly acquired DarrinWilson,who served as Nanaimo’s captainand their leading scorer this sea-son, counted a pair against his for-mer team. Also new to the line-up were Ontario imports AdamBellamy and Brine Rice, who putpoints on the board in their debutfor the Bellies.

Over the two games, the teamgot steady netminding fromLeiton Manuel and Erik Kratz,while the defence was nearly im-

penetrible.While they duel with Delta for

home floor advantage for theirsemifinal series, which isn’t ex-pected to start until July 18 at theearliest, Stockdale isn’t dwellingon that.The Islanders would haveto lose to Nanaimo onWednes-day (past the Record’s deadline)to give NewWest a shot at finish-ing second.

When it comes to B.C.’s Min-to Cup hopes, with the nation-al tournament coming west thisyear both NewWest and Delta aregearing up for a battle to advanceto the BCJALL final.

Both finalists are assured a berthinto the Minto Cup tournament,which will also feature an Albertarepresentative and Ontario cham-pion.

A NewWestminster Salmonbellies legend beingcelebrated by the Coquitlam Adanacs?

Stranger things have happened, and in the case ofCanadian Lacrosse Hall of Famer Geordie Dean, thisone is long overdue.

Dean is being honoured this Friday by the Co-quitlam junior Adanacs, who will retire his No. 5in a ceremony prior to the NewWestminster-Co-quitlam junior A lacrosse game, 7:30 p.m. at the Po-irier Sports Centre.

Dean, raised in Coquitlam, was a sniper with thejunior Adanacs for four seasons, tallying 378 pointsover 100 games. During his time in the junior Aleague, he was a four-time all-star, two-time scoringchampion and MVP in 1981.

After being drafted by the senior Bellies in 1982,Dean would go on to help the team win three MannCup titles, establishing a number of national offensiverecords along the way. His record for career MannCup assists still stands.

NewWeststagesrallyagainstU.S.Touring field team gives Bellies ascare before third-period [email protected]

A touring group of U.S.lacrosse players transferredtheir field skills to the boxand nearly exited Queen’sPark with a win.

However, the NewWest-minster intermediate ASalmonbellies put in acomeback clinic, scoringseven unanswered third pe-riod goals to eke out a 10-9win in the exhibition con-test.

Finn Stark’s second goalof the game came with 0.7seconds left on the clock tosecure the victory.

The U.S. under-18 team,which included players frommostly western states, fea-tured a handful of collegiatescholarship recipients andcoached by ex-Western La-crosse Association playersBen Prepchuk and ShaydonSantos.

While NewWest took to

the floor with just 12 run-ners and without their lead-ing scorer Nick Hannay,they shook off a 9-3 deficitwith a flurry of third-peri-od markers. Parker Johnsoncounted three goals and twoassists, whileWill Malcomtallied all three of his goalsin the final frame.

But with the game dead-locked 9-9, the U.S. foundthemselves with a chanceto reclaim the lead off apenalty shot with 1:30 left.Netminder Cam Moles-worth stood his ground andturned the shooter back,setting up Stark’s game-winning moment.

It was part of a five-gametour of B.C. Intermediate Ateams, with the U.S. postingits lone win in Richmond.
