◗THE CHANGING CITY

Trimmingdown theriver towers

The City of New Westminster is pro-posing a “bold” new vision for a primepiece of real estate on the waterfront.

In response to recent and future chang-es to New Westminster’s waterfront, thecity is proposing a new vision for theLarco site. The site is currently a parkinglot between Westminster Pier Park andRiver Market.

An application approved by city coun-cil in 2005 allows Larco Investments Ltd.to build 911 residential units in five high-rise towers on the site. On Monday, citycouncil directed staff to consult with Larcoon the city’s desire to amend the zoningand special development permit for 660Front St., to conduct community consul-tation to discuss the implementation ofthe downtown waterfront vision and toprepare a new zoning amendment bylawfor the site for council’s consideration at afuture meeting.

Coun. Bill Harper said it’s a “boldmove” by council.

“It’s a logical next step,” he said. “I amreally hoping Larco will be sympathetic tothis and consider redevelopment.”

The staff report stated TransLink’sdecision not to proceed with construc-

tion of North Fraser Perimeter Road pro-vided council with a new vision for theFront Street corridor and the Front StreetParkade, which includes opening FrontStreet to sunlight and enhancing views ofthe Fraser River.

“As the city implements the down-town community plan, Front Street willbe returned to a pedestrian friendly retailstreet with historic storefronts. Seamless

connectivity to the waterfront will beachieved by an elevated Sixth Street over-pass, allowing for barrier-free movementsto the waterfront and the Westminster PierPark for pedestrians and cyclists,” stateda vision statement adopted by council in2011. “Over time, the Front Street Parkadewill be replaced with new public parkingdecentralized throughout the downtown.The rail corridor will be cleared up and

train whistles will be eliminated. Whenthe Pattullo Bridge is reconstructed, directaccess will not be permitted to Front Street.In addition, the city will seek to prohibit itor restrict commercial truck traffic fromFront Street.”

Mayor Wayne Wright said the proposalis not only bold and visionary but it’s alsopractical for Larco. He said the company

Christy Clark’s Liberal government isn’tproviding enough funding for special edu-cation – that was the theme at Tuesdaynight’s board of education meeting, wheretrustees heard from concerned union mem-bers and parents on how laying off 27special education assistants will impact thedistrict’s most vulnerable students.

the board that job cuts will impact learning,but it was Lord Tweedsmuir Elementaryparent Katrine Ireland who provided afirst-hand account of how cutting class-room support will affect her special-needsson.

Picture perfect

Photo finish: Above, Miles Ambridge, aGrade 2 student at Herbert Spencer Ele-mentary in New Westminster, sits with hisclassmates in a re-shot school photo – a de-parture from the previous image (at left),which garnered national media attentionbecause Miles was set apart.

It’s all smiles now that a new, inclusive photo of seven-year-old Miles Ambridge has been taken.

Anne Belanger was finally able to show her son his Grade2 class photo, where he sits amongst his classmates at NewWestminster’s Herbert Spencer Elementary.

“He said, ‘Oh Mommy, this is so nice,’” Belanger says,describing Miles’ reaction to the new picture.

He never saw the old school photo, where Miles was setapart from his classmates in his wheelchair. The picture dev-astated his parents, and their story garnered attention after itran on the front page of The Province. Media outlets aroundthe globe, including the Toronto Star, Washington Post and theUnited Kingdom’s Daily Mail, later covered the story. The origi-nal photo went viral with more than 4.2 million views on TheProvince’s website, the paper reported Wednesday.

“All we wanted was a retake and an apology, and people justran with it beyond anything we could (have) imagined,” saysBelanger, who was shocked by the reaction to the “heart-break-ing” photo.

When she saw the new class photo, Belanger smiled.“I was really, really happy, and that was that,” she says.Miles has spinal muscular atrophy, a genetic disease that

attacks nerve cells in the spinal cord, causing muscles through-out the body, especially in the arms and legs, to weaken. Thedisease does not affect cognitive abilities.

Miles’ parents and the school principal contacted LifetouchCanada, which at first didn’t see a problem with the photo,according to the The Province. The company later agreed toreshoot the photo. In the new photo, a beaming Miles is out ofhis wheelchair and supported by a caregiver on a bench withhis classmates.

Spitale: Wants to find a win-win scenario on developmentowned the property for many years buthasn’t been able to build up until thistime.

“The city has changed,” he said aboutthe need for a new plan for the site.

According to Wright, Larco stands tobenefit from some of the positive changestaking place in the area around its prop-erty.

“We are in constant touch with them,”he said. “They know how important thatpiece is.”

Lisa Spitale, the city’s chief administra-tive officer, said the city needs to have aconversation with Larco about communityvalues, given that North Fraser PerimeterRoad is off the table and the adjacent siteis now a park instead of the formerlyplanned high-density residential develop-ment.

“We still want development along thatwaterfront. The downtown is a growthconcentration area, and we still want to seeresidential development along the water-front because it actually services all the

things we have been talking about – therelationship to the River Market, certainlevels of densification for the downtown,”she said. “The issue then is, good planningprinciples say you need to work with whatis happening around you.”

Staff will report back to council whenthey have a sense of Larco’s interest in theproposal.

“What I want to say to them is, ‘we stillwant you to build, but we want you tobuild in a more sympathetic way, and wedon’t see the existing level of density assomething that is sympathetic, so let’s talkabout what still works for your develop-ment and is sympathetic for ours’,” shesaid. “I really do want to find a win-winfor them and a win-win for the city.”

Coun. Jaimie McEvoy said the imageof five towers on the waterfront no longerfits in with the goal of creating a livabledowntown.

“This is a huge step,” he said.Staff created a set of principles that

will be brought forward for discussionwith Larco and the community, as part

of the city’s proposal to work with Larcoon a new plan for the site. The principlesinclude supporting an esplanade and mul-tifamily residential as an appropriate landuse at the site, with two tall, slender resi-dential towers that are sited to maximizeopen and green space on the site being oneproposal that could be supported.

The principles state that Larco has anumber of development obligations underthe existing development agreement, sothese would need to be re-evaluated andamended if a new zone and special devel-opment permit were devised.

In March 2005, council voted 4-2 infavour of allowing Larco Investments Ltd.to proceed with a residential project thatwould feature five towers ranging from 25to 30 storeys. As part of the plan approvedby council, the developer would provideamenities such as pedestrian overpassesat McKenzie and Begbie streets, 50 percent of the costs of a vehicle and pedes-trian overpass at Sixth Street, a landscapedesplanade on Larco’s property and thewater lot located over the Fraser River and

148 public parking stalls.Spitale said the Larco’s obligations were

based on the plan for a certain level ofdensity along the waterfront. She saidthe requirements being sought from thecity, as well as the creation of a park onthe Westminster Pier site that was slatedfor several highrises, could change therequirements and make the project feasibleand economical for Larco.

In 2005, some councillors were consid-ering a proposal to downzone the propertyor reduce the scale of the proposal, butsome were concerned about potential legalramifications.

“What is our responsibility? What canwe do?” Wright asked The Record Thursday.“We are not going to overstep our bound-aries. There is a lot of dialogue.”

Spitale said the city plans to meet withLarco representatives in the next fewweeks to discuss the site. She couldn’tsay whether the city would take action toprepare new zoning for the site if it wasunable to get support from Larco on a planfor the site

The Gunderson family is hoping thesound of children’s laughter will fillMegan’s Place playground this weekend.

The Queensborough special programscommittee and New Westminster’s parks,cultureandrecreationdepartmentareteam-ing up for the QueensboroughChildren’s Festival on Saturday,June 22 from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.at Ryall Park, 920 Ewen Ave. inQueensborough.

June 20 marked the 17th anni-versary of the death of three-year-old Megan Gunderson,who was struck and killed bya hit-and-run driver in frontof her Queensborough home in1996. Following her death, thecommunity rallied together toraise close to $100,000 for a newplayground.

The first QueensboroughChildren’s Festival was heldat Megan’s Place tiny tot playgroundand Ryall Park last year, after the Cityof New Westminster spent $135,000 tocompletely renovate the playground andthe neighbouring water park. Additionalfeatures will be unveiled as part of thegrand reopening of the QueensboroughCommunity Centre on July 6.

“That is what pleases the family somuch,” said Dolly Gunderson, a longtimeQueensborough resident and Megan’sgrandma. “The park is getting more andmore beautiful all the time.”

The tiny tot playground was created inmemory of Megan, who loved her visits tothe park.

The Queensborough Children’s Festivalincludes live entertainment, interactive funand games and a teddy bear picnic.

“It’s going to be just wonderful. Wehave tried to keep it as free as you can.We are going to have some teenage pro-gramming as well,” Gunderson said. “AtMegan’s Place, we are having a teddybear picnic. People can bring their teddy

bears.”Two years ago, the New Westminster

Police Department held a press confer-ence to appeal to a person who had sentin an anonymous tip regarding the case,as well as the driver. Although police haveevidence from the 1996 accident scene andwitness testimony, they wanted to speak toan anonymous tipster who had “crucial”

new information about the case.Gunderson said no arrests

have been made in connectionto the hit-and-run and the fam-ily still hopes that will occur sothey have some closure to thetragedy.

“It’s not that you are everyover it, but just to have some-thing concrete,” she said. “Myson says there is no closure. Thebottom line, she is gone.”

Each year, family memberstake flowers to the graveyardwhere Megan is buried. Theyalso celebrate a happier occasion– the birthday of Megan’s older

sister Madison.On the day she was killed, Megan had

been gardening with her mother and raninside to get a hat to protect her blondehead from the sun. The little girl then sawa van that looked like her father’s and ranout towards the vehicle, likely thinking herdad was coming home.

Melanie Gunderson, who was preg-nant and due that day, delivered daughterMadison a day after her younger daugh-ter’s death. Megan also had an older sisterCandice, who attended the 2011 press con-ference with her parents.

“It says a lot about a person when theyhave the courage to come forward on theirown, under such difficult circumstances,”Melanie Gunderson said at the 2011 pressconference. “It says a lot about the personyou are. We are hoping the tipster will helpus out once again.”

A woman in her mid- to late 30s withbrown hair was seen driving a 1990s redDodge Caravan or Plymouth Voyager atthe time of the accident.

Elementary schools in New Westminstercould see their hours extended by minutesa day now that the district is going to a two-week spring break next year.

The district was planning to take awaystudents’ break time to compensate forthe extra week off, but the board passed amotion from trustee MaryAnn Mortensencalling for those minutes to be found at thebeginning or end of the school day instead.

“Given that students are in the care ofthe New Westminster school district forthe better part of the day, we have a moraland ethical obligation to ensure that theyare provided adequate time to eat, social-ize and to partake in physical activities,this includes recess and lunch periods,”Mortensen said in her rationale for thechange.

The board wasn’t willing to support hercall for having all schools – just elementaryschools, for now – apply the additional min-utes at the beginning or the end of the daybecause of the different school schedules.

The district has to add eight instruc-tional minutes every day to make up for

hours lost as a result of extending springbreak by a week.

Parents and staff will be consulted on theschedule change, said Mortensen.

Her recommendation was one of threemotions from Voice New Westminster trust-ees, which did not appear on the board’sopen agenda package for Tuesday. Instead,it was in the closed meeting – a movethat bothered Mortensen and fellow Voicetrustee Casey Cook, whose two motionsalso didn’t appear on the agenda.

However, all three motions were ulti-mately discussed at Tuesday’s public meet-ing.

Mortensen couldn’t say why the changewas made because it was determined in aclosed session.

Cook’s motion – that all trustee andsenior staff expenses are to be listed on thedistrict’s website immediately followingmonthly reporting periods – passed.

A second motion calling for the districtto separate out financial statements forthe business company, which oversees aschool in China, from the district’s budgetwas sent to staff for review and comment,Cook said.

B.C. politics is never short of irony.Take, for example, Premier ChristyClark’s recent action to hike politicalstaffers’ wages, and then after feeling theheat, deciding to backtrack onthe decision.

She gets brownie pointsfor taking full responsibilityfor the utter stupidity of themove. After all, didn’t we hear endlessplatitudes about tightening belts dur-ing the very recent election campaign?(According to media reports, Clark and

her outgoing cabinet increased the topallowable salaries for political aidesto $102,000 from a previous ceiling of$94,500 – initially the outgoing cab-

inet raised the maximum to$105,000, but the incoming cab-inet brought the amount downbefore the issue became public.The move came as part of a

reorganization that elevated top advisersfrom the role of ministerial assistants tochiefs of staff for each individual minis-ter.)

And then, on top of that, one of thefirst things she does is hike her ownstaff’s wages to exceed what PresidentObama pays for his own right-hand manin the White House. To say that this alldidn’t sit well with B.C. taxpayers is a bitof an understatement.

But what is equally ironic is thatClark’s main criticism of Adrian Dix dur-ing the election campaign was that he“flip flopped” on everything. Seriously?You just can’t make this stuff up.

We hope that this first misjudgment

by the new premier is a one-off due toa lack of sleep as she juggled appoint-ing her new cabinet, hiring staffers andkick-starting her own election campaignin Kelowna. To be sure, she’s got a lot onher plate.

But, Clark needs to walk the talk andlead by example. There are kids in schooldistricts, such as New Westminster, whowill have to do without – at least partially– because of a lack of provincial fundingand now is certainly not the time to bethrowing taxpayers’ money at your staff.

Many more reasonsto mistrust media

I have to agree with PatTracy’s column of June 14,Another reason to distrustjournalists, although I will addanother dimension of concern.

Pamela Wallin and MikeDuffy are surely bad examples,but much worse are those mediamoguls, whether inTV, newspaper orradio, who coveredup or refused to askquestions about theIraq war.

For example, Phil Donahue,of NBC, who opposed and chal-lenged the White House scriptabout the Iraq war, was sum-marily fired from his job andostracized, even though he wasright and the weapons of massdestruction, etc. were outrightlies.

The sanitized version by theimbedded journalists, as agreedto by the U.S. military, was swal-lowed hook, line and sinker bythe press.

The consequences of thiscatastrophic unwarranted massmurder will go down as oneof the most disgraceful mediajournalistic coverups in humanhistory.

Having said that, the newsmedia in this country is little orno better, and that includes theCBC.

As a contributing member ofFriends of the CBC, while I amfrustrated with its continuingirrelevance, I want it back to theway it was. I know the Harpergovernment would like noth-ing better than to privatize CBC

Radio and television or boot itoff the air, and put an end to anyinvestigative journalism.

It’s no problem: just continueto cut the budget, cut it off atthe knees financially, cut orundermine the world-recognizedtalent, ensure bad management,

have it run by polit-ical appointees andservants rather thanby people of merit.Discredit the CBC and,in the end, dismantle it

and turn it over to the cable andsatellite monopolies that nowcontrol most private broadcast-ers in the country.

So, I agree with the PatTracys of this world. I believethat (excluding people like MikeDuffy and company) most jour-nalists are “part of the quest fortruth, honesty and justice” –journalism that provides us withfacts, to fulfill the media’s licenceand obligation to the country, sopeople can make rational andreasoned decisions.

I would suggest that manyjournalists self-censor their workin order to keep their jobs andput bread on the table; other-wise, how could any honestinvestigative journalist surviveworking for the disgraced andconvicted media empire ownedby Rupert Murdoch – a media sopervasive to the political processthat it came close to bringingdown the British government.

As bad as Duffy and Wallinare in cheating us out of ourhard-earned money, cheating

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Consult public about water taxiDear Editor:

Re: Bring on the water tax, Letters to the editor,The Record, June 12.

Given the enthusiastic support that TomLittlewood indicated the mayor, city council andmost of the engineers and managers at city hallsupported his water taxi connection between PortRoyal and the River Market area, I was surprisedyesterday that Quayside to Queensborough pedes-trian/cyclist crossing options, tabled at city council,didn’t include evaluation of his superior option.

We find his option superior as:1. It provides more direct connectivity to Port

Royal residents to the business/transportation andcivic amenities the city is trying to support andpromote.

2. With the exception of an appropriate landing

near the Discovery Center/River Market area, exist-ing infrastructure, including Mr. Littlewood’s twowater taxis, are in place.

3. The required dock landing could easily beaccommodated within the plans for the dock repairscontemplated by the $4-million tranche of DACfunding designated for such purpose. (Recall herethat the new city manager has previously indicatedthese projects are not subject to change under theDAC funding agreement.)

4. Private investment in this project has the sup-port of Aragon Development, many local businessesand a host of citizens on the Queensborough side ofthe proposed water taxi.

5. One can easily see businesses like the RiverMarket, hotel and restaurants and other business-es at the Quayside Landing area and downtownwould likely also prefer this shorter, less costly and

The New Westminster Record welcomes letters to the editor. We do, however, edit for taste,

legality and length. Priority is given to letters written by residents of New Westminster and/or

issues concerning New Westminster. Please include a phone number where you can be

more direct connective solution.6. The water taxi option, so enthusias-

tically embraced by tourists at GranvilleIsland, would also be an attraction here inNew Westminster, allowing a greater drawto the area and its other amenities such asthe Anvil Centre, Landmark Cinemas andthe Discovery Centre.

7. The water taxi option is also a far bet-ter all weather transportation connectionto SkyTrain, being shorter, more direct andsheltered.

For all of the above reasons it is clearthat during the public consultation pro-cess, this exciting option should be resur-rected, evaluated and tested in a collabora-tion with a “3P2Q” focus – public/privatepartnership of both Queensborough andQuayside interests.

In taking this suggestion, the city wouldnot only be minding its P’s and Q’s, butalso ensuring the best logistical solutionevaluation to minimize costs to tax-pay-ers, optimize the use of available DACfunding and incorporate maximum syner-gies for downtown businesses and civicamenities.

Let’s all work together with a robust setof options.

New owners within rightsDear Editor:

Re: Hopes for heritage demolished, TheRecord, June 14.

Not everyone was surprised that thesale of 221 Third Ave. resulted in thedemolition of the house and planned con-struction of two new homes. The previousowners of 221 Third Ave. initially pur-chased a property that consisted of threeseparate lots. Twenty years ago, one ofthose lots was sold and a new home builtby one of the authors of this letter.

The recent listing of the property waspriced at a level that negated the optionof keeping the house. Even the real estatesales video highlighted the fact that thislisting was two legal and separate lots. Itmight have been a different story if thehouse had not straddled the two lots.

As mentioned in your article, if thehome had been less central on the prop-erty, a prospective owner may have con-sidered updating the old house and build-ing a new one beside it.

We welcome our new neighbour andrespect his right to build a home that suitshis and his family’s needs, within the zon-ing regulations set out by the city.

Janet Brine, and Bill and Anne Markvoort, NewWestminster

Too much greed at city hallDear Editor:

Re: Who gets big bucks, The Record,June 12.

In regard to your recent article, all I cansay is disgusting, disgusting, disgusting!

For a city with a seven square mileradius. Why we need to employ 70 peoplemaking more than $100,000 a year isbeyond logical fiscal thinking.

We can’t even get a new high schoolbuilt! Well, I wonder why? How disgust-ing! What blows me away is that 24 ofthem work for the fire department. Howmany fires do we need to put out in oursmall city?

After hearing about the Liberals givingthemselves huge pay raises during suchchallenging times, this just frosts the cake.

I am so done with paying such hightaxes for such a small city with a greedycity hall. Time to catch the next bus out.

Stockpiling coal a bad ideaDear Editor:

Re: Mayor votes with anti-coal metrodirectors, The Record, June 19.

At the May 13 New Westminster townhall meeting regarding the proposed trans-ferring of coal at Fraser Surrey Docks , Mr.Jeff Scott, president and CEO of FraserSurrey Docks, spoke at length trying toassure the audience that in spite of thecompany’s own website stating, “the facil-ity will provide for a short-term stockpileof up to 30,000-metric tonnes (two trains)in case of a supply chain delay,” there willbe no stockpiling of coal at the docks.

Now Mr. Scott is saying that thoughthere will be provisions made at the site tostockpile coal if necessary, he is “very confi-dent” coal stockpiling will not be required.I do not believe that Fraser Surrey Dockswould address the issue of stockpilingcoal unless it anticipates a forseeable needfor stockpiling. Given the problems whichassuredly will occur in a supply chainoperation of this magnitude, I am “veryconfident” that stockpiling of coal will benecessary at Fraser Surrey Docks

A pile of 30,000-metric tonnes of coalsitting on the Fraser Surrey Dock , exposedto the wind and rain for an undeterminedlength of time, will assuredly produce coaldust and toxic runoff. This is a situationthat is unacceptable to me. I do not wantthis blight across the river from my home.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

people out of the truth andhonest reporting is, in myopinion, much worse.

As the poet Lord AlfredTennyson put it, “Cursedbe the lies that warp usfrom the living truth”or – as we were warnedby George Orwell in hisbooks Animal Farm and1984 about government

surveillance – Big Brother,media control and brain-washing.

Recent examples ofsilencing or cancellingscientific governmentresearch or withholding itfrom the media and publicscrutiny by the Harpergovernment is a crime.

Relying on the cour-age of whistleblowers to

get at the truth is only anunfortunate alternative.

We have much to beconcerned about. Duffyand Wallin are just the tipof the iceberg and small,though significant, part ofthe problem.

But while there may be a solution forIreland, she later questioned how studentswhose family can’t or don’t advocate fortheir children will be helped.

District parent advisory council past-chair Wendy Harris, whose son has specialneeds, told the board her son needs full-time support at school, but he is attend-ing mainstream science and drama classes.She feared the district would segregate orcluster special-needs students, but trusteesassured her there was no plan to do that.

She urged the board to support a returnto targeted funding, which means the dis-trict must spend the amount of funds allo-cated per student. Currently, school districtsare provided a certain amount per student,which is given in a lump sum to spend onsupports for special needs students.

“All districts spend more than what theyget on special education,” said Janet Grant,the district’s director of instruction for stu-dent services.

The district received just over $5 millionfor categories that garner supplementalfunding (over and above the base operat-

ing), but spent more than $8 million for the2012/13 school year.

Trustee Lisa Graham prefers the targetedmodel and wants the board to lobby thegovernment to return to targeted funding.However, the board didn’t support themotion she put forward Tuesday. Instead,trustees voted to ask the government toincrease funding for special needs andresource learning assistants to reflect “actu-al and needed support costs.”

Graham was upset her target-fundingmotion was shot down.

“I can see where this is going,” saidGraham, whose son has autism. “I haveno personal benefit. My child is done. … Iknow of what I speak. I’ve lived it. I can’tbelieve, on principle, you won’t supporttargeted (funding).”

Responding to the union’s call that trust-ees advocate for more funding from theprovince, trustee James Janzen said parentswould have a better chance of being heard.

“Parents are the ones who can make thisgovernment change,” Janzen said. “Themost effective lobbying will come from par-ents. It’s the public that has to rise up.”

Blind talent show with a lot to proveVisually challenged contest-

ants will show their talents – andpossibly clear up some miscon-ceptions about the abilities ofbeing blind – when they com-pete in the Blind Beginnings HasTalent fundraiser this weekend.

About 16 entertainers willtake to the stage at the SappertonPensioner Hall on Saturday nightto compete for prizes in the tal-ent show.

“I havebeen want-ing to do atalent showfundraiser,”said ShawnMarsolais,manager ofprogramsand servi-ces for BlindBeginnings.“There is a lotof talent with-in the blind

community.”Marsolais worked with

youth leaders involved in BlindBeginnings to plan the show thattakes place on Saturday, June22 at 7 p.m. at the SappertonPensioners Hall at 318 Keary St.

The show features entertain-ment by blind artists from aroundthe Lower Mainland aged 11 toearly 60s.

“It’s a bit of an ambitioustask,” said Marsolais, noting thegroup only started planning theshow about six weeks ago. “Ihope people will come out. Ithink it will be a really awesomeevent.”

One contestant will perform ahula dance, while the remainderwill sing and play a variety ofinstruments including the guitar,piano and flute.

“It should be a very musicalevent,” said Marsolais.

The judge panel is made up oftwo blind adjudicators and onesighted person, in order to evalu-ate the dancing component of theentertainment.

“I think a lot of sighted peoplearen’t thinking about talent whenthey think about blindness,”Marsolais said. “I really want toshowcase that talent.”

Funds raised at the BlindBeginnings Has Talent event willsupport the non-profit organiza-

tion’s youth leadership program,which allows young people fromvarious parts of B.C. to meet anddevelop their leadership and lifeskills. It also gives them a chanceto meet and developfriendships with otheryouth who are visuallyimpaired or blind.

Marsolais, a NewWestminster native,foundedBlindBeginningsfive years ago. The NewWestminster-basedorganization seeks toempower blind and visuallyimpaired children and youthand to support their familiesthrough a variety of workshopsand programs, including par-ent-to-parent support programs,youth leadership initiatives, cre-ating confidence workshops and

a community discovery programthat allows children to experi-ence the world around them.

Marsolais was born withretinitis pigmentosa, a disease

that leads to the loss ofvision. Marsolais, whohas two per cent visiondue to retinal pigmen-tosa, inspires youngpeople to adopt a “nolimits” philosophy.

Marsolais not onlypromotes that philoso-phy, but she lives it;

she competed in swimming inthe Canada Summer Games in1993, was an alternate to thenational Paralympics swim teamfor Atlanta in 1996, competedin tandem cycling in Athensin 2004, and was a member ofCanada’s national goalball team.

In November 2012, she earnedher master’s degree from UBC.

Through Blind Beginnings,Marsolais mentors 17 blind youthleaders, including seven who areinvolved in planning the eventand others who are competingand creating a promotional videofor Blind Beginnings Has Talent.

“We can accommodate up to300 people – at this point thereare lots of tickets,” she said.“Everybody is welcome.”

Marsolais believes that sheand her family would have hadan easier time adjusting to herblindness if a program like BlindBeginnings existed when she wasa child.

“I was born with a degen-erative condition,” she said in aprevious Record article. “I couldsee when I was a kid, but I was

legally blind.”Marsolais didn’t know she

was going to go blind until shewas about 12 years of age. Herparents learned of her diagnosisseveral years earlier.

“My parents were reallyyoung, quite shocked and didn’tknow how to tell their little girlshe was going blind – so theydidn’t,” she said. “Adjusting tomy blindness was really hard.”

Marsolais’s goal is to inspirethe children and youth she workswith to believe they can be any-thing they choose and they don’thave be limited because they areblind.

Tickets are $15 for adults and$10 for seniors and students, andfree for children five years andunder. To reserve or purchasetickets, call 604-434-7243.

Talent pool: Clement Chou practises his song for the upcoming fundraising concert Blind Beginnings Has Talent, being held on Saturday,June 22 at Sapperton Pensioners Hall at 318 Keart St. in New Westminster. Tickets are available by calling 604-434-7243.

It’s been almost fiveyears since BrendanMcLellan was living on thestreets, addicted to drugsand running away from allhis problems.

Today, he’s still runningbut for a different cause;the Union Gospel Mission,the organization he sayssaved his life.

Almost two yearsago exactly TheRecord spoke withMcLellan.

At the time hewas preparing for hisfirst half marathon andwas eager to meet his$2,000 fundraising goal.

Since then McLellanhas run two charity halfmarathons and with plansto run in a third – theScotiabank half marathonon Sunday, June 23 – hedoesn’t seem to be slowingdown anytime soon.

“I’m sure there willbe hard times again, butright now, it just keeps get-ting better and better,” hesaid, in a press release. “Ihave no complaints, and Icouldn’t be happier.”

McLellan has a job anda strong relationship with

his son.He continues to volun-

teer with the Union GospelMission in his spare time,mentoring recoveringaddicts and leading run-ning groups.

He is also the presidentof the mission’s alumniassociation, which helpsgives back to the mission.

“I work with a lot ofguys that have relapsed, so

my phone constantlyrings off the hook,”he said. “But theinvestment is worthit. People were thereand reached out to

me when I was in mydarkest place, and Iwant to be there for

others. Now, life is abso-lutely fantastic. It justkeeps getting better. I usedto be so selfish. I’ve giventhat all up to God, and mylife is completely trans-formed.”

McLellan is runningon the Union GospelMission’s team. This yearthe mission is hoping toraise $50,000. To donate tothe mission half marathonteam or McLellan, visitwww.ugm.ca/run.

◗ IN THE GAMECareer-night for New Westminster junior ◗P19Rare draw in Western Lacrosse Association game ◗P19

Learning every step of the wayGood things come to those who

wait. Even better things happento those who use that time toimprove themselves.

That certainly appears to bethe case for the New WestminsterSalmonbellies current No. 1 keep-er Neil Tyacke.

The just turned 25-year-oldplayed perhaps his best seniorA lacrosse game on the eve ofhis birthday last Thursday, sincebeing drafted into the WesternLacrosse Association in the thirdround by the Victoria Shamrocksin 2010.

The New WestminsterSecondary School grad was thefirst star in the 5-4 victory overthe Burnaby Lakers in a gamethat was anything but a defensivestruggle.

More than 100 shots raineddown on both goalies at Queen’sPark Arena, with Tyacke stoppingthe lion’s share with 49 saves.

In his first nine games as theSalmonbellies starter this season,Tyacke has a goals against averageof nine and is third in the leaguewith a .797 save percentage.

Not bad numbers for a youngman who almost didn’t get a lookin junior A.

Tyacke spent most of his juniorcareer playing at the B levelbefore finally getting a chance tostart in his final year with theSalmonbellies in 2009. Before that,he played just 102 callup minutesin goal with the junior A ‘Bellies.

The likeable Tyacke said hewas lucky to have been in thatposition. It gave him an opportu-nity to learn and grow behind co-starters Sean Tessarolo and RayHodgkinson.

“Just watching them and howthey prepared, I tried to learn atevery opportunity I got,” Tyacke

said. “I just really wanted to be ajunior A goalie. It was a dream.It’s just awesome to run out on thefloor wearing the red and white.”

The possibility of ever play-ing again for New Westminsterlooked remote after the draft.

Tyacke was released by Victoria

after playing in just four senior Agames, but was later picked up ina trade by the Burnaby Lakers forthe remainder of the season.

In 2011, Tyacke started the sea-son in Maple Ridge, but was againlet go.

As luck would have it, the

expendable Tyacke was broughtback to Queen’s Park last seasonas a backup for all-star starterTyler Richards.

This season, Tyacke wasthrust into the starting role whenRichards was slow to returnto the team after backstoppingthe Washington Stealth to thepro National Lacrosse LeagueChampionship Cup final. Tyackehas played all but 29 minutes sofar this season.

“I’m just grateful I got theopportunity here,” said Tyacke.“I knew T (Tyler Richards) wasgoing to take a little time off, butnot this. I’m just taking the oppor-tunity.”

Tyacke said he fully expectsto go back to a backup role whenRichards returns. But like hisjunior days, Tyacke chooses todwell on the upside of that expe-rience.

“I had no problem playingjunior. I just knew I had to play.I had to get the shots from some-where,” he said.

And that above all, just mightbe Tyacke’s mantra.

This year, he worked his wayonto the practice roster of theStealth behind Salmonbellie team-mates Richards and Matt Roik,and revelled in it.

“I got experience in Washingtongetting the shots. The shots I gotall year were so huge,” he said.“I took every shot I could. I want-ed every shot I could. Honestly,every opportunity I have had, I’vewanted to learn and to get bet-ter.”

And his falling career goalsagainst stats and steadily improv-ing save percentage numbers real-ly do bear him out.

“I think teams need two goal-ies they can be confident in,” headded. “I just want to help theteam. … It’s what I wanted as akid.”

Murray Lehman will be honoured for his 2012induction into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fameat a junior A lacrosse game next week.

Lehman, who gave a half century of his life tothe junior game, mostly in New Westminster, wasinducted into the hall last November.

“I was shocked,” said Lehman, when he firstheard of his induction.

Only one other hall of fame member, John VanOs, Lehman’s mentor, has been inducted as a build-er at the junior level.

“I say it was 50 years, but some say it was lon-ger. But it’s an experience I didn’t think I will feelagain,” said Lehman, who stumbled on Canada’ssummer sport by accident.

Back in the 1960s, Lehman and Bob Marineauco-owned the Junior A Royals baseball club thatplayed in the Metro Vancouver league.

“It was funny how I got involved (in lacrosse),”said Lehman.

One Thursday, after a rainout at Queen’s Park,

Marineau suggested the pair take in a senior lacrossegame at the arena across the way.

“There were three guys I knew working the timeclock,” said Lehman. “They asked me, ‘Do youwant to get involved?’ I said, ‘Doing what?’

“I played (baseball), I coached it and I managedit. But when I saw my first lacrosse game, I said,‘This is the game I could enjoy.’”

He started as a goal judge and then was elevatedto a bench official in the old Inter-City league,which is now the Western Lacrosse Association.

He soon began to coach youngsters where helived in the South Burnaby minor association andlater managed teams across the border in NewWestminster, when the two Burnaby associationsmerged in the mid-1970s.

In 1981, Lehman took on the mantel of B.C.junior A league commissioner, a position he heldfor nine seasons.

In the ’90s, he turned to managing, working inCoquitlam for a short time before returning to theRoyal City for the next 11 years in a variety of roles,

The New WestminsterSalmonbellies are ready forthe fray.

The junior A lacrosseclub wore down the DeltaIslanders in the trenchesand then blitzed the vis-itors 6-2 in the final perioden route to a 10-4 victoryat Queen’s Park Arena onTuesday.

Just two days afterarguably New West’smost complete win – a 17-8 decommissioning of theVictoria juniors – with justtwo weeks left on the B.C.Junior Lacrosse Leagueschedule, the Salmonbelliesappear battle-ready for theplayoffs.

After a 20-shot bombard-ment in the opening per-iod was repelled by Deltakeeper Ryland Hood, goalsby Chris Nasato and JoshByrne – with the team’s46th and 47th shots on goal– less than a minute apartlate in the second period,gave the ’Bellies the break-through they were work-ing for.

New West closed outthe campaign, scoring thelast five goals in the game,including four unassistedmarkers.

Four-ging ahead: New Westminster’s Jeremy Bosher had a career-night, scoring fourtimes in a 10-4 victory over the Delta Islanders at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday.

Juniors: Hall of famer honoured on Tues.four-goal barrage.

“We have a very good defensive core,”said 20-year-old Brendan Ranford. “Ourwillingness to compete is second to none.We just wear teams down and just work asa whole 20 guys.”

The Salmonbellies back end held theleague’s top two scorers to a pair of goalsapiece, while limiting the shots on FrankScigliano to a meager 31. In turn, NewWest fired its third 60-plus salvo in fourgames at the Islander bunker.

“We just got to keep it up and keepworking, keep moving and pressuring.We’re expecting everybody’s best,” saidRanford, who came to the Salmonbelliesfor his final junior season after a five-yearWestern Hockey League career with theKamloops Blazers, where he chalked upnearly 150 goals and 400 points in leagueand playoffs with the major junior club.

Ranford recently signed a pro entrylevel contract with the Texas Stars of theAmerican Hockey League. He is a cousinof New Westminster future hall of famerBill Ranford.

Born into a military family, Ranfordpicked up a lacrosse stick in Edmonton,applied it after a move to Vancouver Islandand then took his passion to the next levelas a peewee in the Royal City.

Getting a chance to go to a Minto Cupis a goal, and would be a highlight forwhat could be Ranford’s final season ofcompetitive lacrosse.

“Hockey’s my game, but lacrosse is agame I love,” he said.

New Westminster is in Port Coquitlamtonight for an 8 p.m. start against theSaints. On June 25, New West plays hostto Burnaby in a night game celebrating thehall of fame induction of Murray Lehman.Game time is 8 p.m.

including junior A clubpresident and a Minto Cupin 1994.At the same time, he alsoheld a position on theCanadian Lacrosse Hall ofFame board of governors,including that of chair from1994 to ’99.

“One of the best movesI made was turning the(junior A) franchise overto Walt (Weaver). He wasone of the reasons I came

back,” said Lehman, who isthe current general manag-er of the New Westminsterjunior B club.

“(Walt) didn’t want theBs to fold. He didn’t haveto twist my arm too hard.”

Lehman cannot beginto list the many experi-ences he has had from hisconnection with lacrosse.But remembering the old-time all-star games and theinspired playoff run thatled to the club’s last Minto

Cup in ’94, stand out.“Lacrosse was so unique.

To see these guys out therewith wooden sticks andno helmets. They got to becrazy. But it began a loveaffair that hasn’t stopped,”he said.

Lehman will be hon-oured in a special ceremonyat the game between NewWestminster and Burnabyto be held at Queen’s ParkArena on Tuesday, June 25at 8 p.m.
