Movies fire renewed interest in archery Mario bartel

Patricia Gonsalves is making it her mission to put the sexy back into archery, one butt at a time. While Orlando Bloom’s character in The Fellowship of the Ring may have been able to slay Orcs and Sauron’s wolves with his longbow and arrows, he would have been hard pressed to hit a bullseye, says Gonsalves, who runs Lykopis Archery with her business partner Jason Holmes. Likewise Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood and Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye in The Avengers.
But it’s those very movies, along with this summer’s blockbuster The Hunger Games and Disney’s animated fable Brave which are firing renewed interest in the ancient sport that dates to the Stone Age. Gonsalves and Holmes say they’re seeing new clients every week at the workshops and classes they conduct at the Boorman range in Sapperton. They’re starting a youth program in November. They also teach at Acadamie Duello in Vancouver. Too often Hollywood makes archers “look stupid,” says Gonsalves, who is also working to

fix its portrayal from the inside as the archery instructor for the new TV series Arrow. Directors and actors favour flash and panache over proper technique, but what they don’t realize is a properly drawn bow and well-shot arrow can look sexy. “It has this fluidity of movement,” says Gonsalves, an archer for 30 years. “It’s like a dance, you need to be calm, disciplined. When someone does it well, it comes across as a martial art.” Doing it well is about more than
just hitting the butt, or target. “People get target-obsessed,” says Gonsalves. “But there’s a connection with your own being, there’s breathing involved, you have to concentrate. When you settle into it and the arrow goes where you want it to go, you can feel it.” Archery’s newfound big screen glamour has attracted everyone from computer programmers to bus drivers to yoga instructors to a biker to their classes. please see ‘It’S MAGIc’, A3

As the crowd gathered in the lobby of Royal Columbian Hospital munched on cupcakes and apples while listening to speeches about its 150th anniversary, two paramedics pushed a gurney carrying an elderly patient through the assemblage and past the podium. It may have been party time but, just like the past century and a half, the hospital’s work continued. RCH officially marked its sesquicentennial Friday morning in front of staff and visitors. The stretcher came through, appropriately enough, while Dr. Sadiq Abdullah, the 1,000th intern to graduate from Royal Columbian, was speaking. Still dressed in scrubs, he told of only getting a couple of hours sleep after a busy night. “We had a memorial for an appendix we took out, we got a pacemaker going and a baby born,” said Abdullah. “It was another successful night.” please see rcH, A3

Studio brings a new spin to fitness Mario Bartel
photo@newwestnewsleader.com
Pole dancing is back in New Westminster. No, Muggs & Juggs hasn’t reopened. And these dancers aren’t spinning themselves around a brass pole en route to removing their sequined underthings. They’re working out. After two years of nomadic wandering, planting her poles at fitness centers in Burnaby and Port Moody, Jessica Lyn has finally bolted them into her own studio, Polenastics, on Sixth Street. Ironically, she’s only a block away from the former strip club that once enlivened the old College Place Hotel. And while pole dancing for fitness may share the same heritage as twisting for titillation and tips, they’re now worlds apart, says Lyn. “It’s evolved a lot from where it was,� says Lyn, who discovered pole dancing when she was living in England. “It’s more than dancing around a pole. It’s very much based in gymnastics.� In fact there are more than 1,500 recognized manoeuvres from simple spins

to inverted scissor kicks to the “flag� in which the dancer locks her arms and
suspends straight out horizontally from the pole.
It’s all about building core and upper body strength. “Being on the pole is hard.â€? Her studio offers a range of classes and workshops for beginners to “ultimate pole,â€? during which dancers work through their entire routine without touching the ground. She also offers classes in flexibility and conditioning, as well as a program that’s more performance-based. And yes, she does give private lessons to exotic dancers. But you don’t have to be a hardbody exhibitionist to take on the pole, says Lyn. Her clients range in age from 18 to a woman who is over 70. “We have everyone from nurses to teachers to librarians to students,â€? says Lyn. There’s even a few men. “It’s not about being sexy,â€? says Lyn. “It’s about breaking through barriers and doing something you never thought possible.â€? • Polenastics is located at 42 Sixth St, and is celebrating its grand opening on Saturday, Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. For more information, including a schedule of classes, go to www. polenastics.ca.

An unexpected constituency has been gamers who want to bring life to their fantasy personas. Most just want to learn how to shoot an arrow; they’re not interested in competing or hunting. “It’s magic,â€? says Holmes. “This is as close to magic and fantasy that a lot of people are willing to get. They’re happy just doing it.â€? Many of their clients may have had a taste of archery during high school or at summer camp, but that’s as far as it ever went, explains Gonsalves. “It’s something they had one opportunity to do, but there was nowhere for them to continue to do it.â€? • To learn more about Lykopis Archery, as well as a schedule of their workshops and classes, go to www. lykopisarchery.ca.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Regarding Untreated Hearing Loss.
Your hearing affects your ability to get a job? say Dr. Sergei Kochkin, executive director of the Better Hearing Institute. “Great workplace communication is critical to both job performance and to getting a job. Great communication starts with great listening. And great listening starts with the ability to hear.” In North America, approximately 31.5 million people have hearing loss, and that includes three out of 10 people ages 60 and older, according BHI.
You walk into the job interview. your hair is groomed. Your smile gleams. You’re wearing your best interview suit. You look fabulous, right? Not necessarily. What happens when you sit down and the interviewer starts asking you a question and you suddenly realize you can’t really hear what she’s saying? Now you lean in, furrow your brows, and hunch your shoulders. You scrunch up your eyes and strain with all your might to hear your best. How do you look now? Unfortunately, the interviewer may see you in a different light. Now she’s wondering why you look so uncomfortable. She’s noticing the confidence slip from your face. And she’s thinking that maybe she needs to keep interviewing others. “Treating hearing loss early is no longer an option. It is a career imperative.”
With today’s down economy, many of these seniors either need to postpone retirement or return to work. Sixty percent of workers older than 60 are postponing retirement due to the impact of the financial crisis on their long-term savings, according to a recent CareerBuilder/USA Today national survey of employers. And those re-entering the work force are competing against younger workers eager to scoop up the jobs. Excellent listening skills are ranked high by employers as desirable job attributes. Fully 73 percent of employers surveyed by ACT, a leading college and work force planning organization, ranked listening among “extremely important” job skills. Before going in for an interview, follow these tips:

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
The meat we eat
LAST WEEK:
The massive and unprecedented recall of beef that emerged from a Brooks, Alta., processing plant should cause people to pause and think about the food chain, and how demands for low consumer prices may have a long-term effect that goes far beyond this recall. The way meat goes from farm to the table has changed dramatically in the past 50 years. There used to be many more slaughterhouses or killing plants than there are today. They were smaller and, by today’s standards, pretty primitive. There were several in B.C., including what was once called Pacific Meats and later Intercontinental Packers, in South Vancouver. There were also many small slaughterhouses. B.C. farmers and ranchers produce a large supply of cattle for the meat market each year. But for the most part, they are now shipped off to huge feed lots on the Prairies for a final fattening up before being butchered. A few farmers and ranchers raise some cattle to full size and sell meat to customers or specialty butcher shops directly. In virtually all cases, this meat is more expensive — but it comes with the assurance the final consumer knows just where the meat originated and how it has been handled. Grocery chains today have to offer low prices to get customers in the door, and meat prices are among the most closely-watched. Getting good value for your dollar has never been more important. But as details about the recall emerge, it seems clear the volume of cattle moving through the Brooks plant and the sheer difficulty in keeping E.coli infections under control are major factors in this serious health issue. Hopefully out of all this will come a demand by meat eaters for better information about the food they eat. —Black Press

THIS WEEK: Will cuts to BC Ferries runs cause undue hardship for those living on less-travelled routes? Vote at www.burnabynewsleader.com
Fantasies won’t keep ferries afloat It was a sunny Thanksgiving weekend when I took my first all-transit trip from Victoria to Vancouver for a B.C. Lions football game. Despite all the doomsaying about people shunning ferries because of some mediadetermined “tipping point” in fares, you wouldn’t have guessed it that weekend. Articulated buses were jammed coming and going from the Tsawwassen terminal to the Canada Line. Returning to Vancouver Island on Sunday, I was struck by the crowds, and the low cost: SkyTrain, express bus, walk-on passenger fare and express bus to Victoria totalled about $20. This explains the surge in walk-on traffic. BC Ferries issued bulletins advising first that Tsawwassen’s parking lot and then Swartz Bay’s were full. Tsawwassen First Nation’s shuttle parking next door was overflowing, with cars tucked into every space. Even with hourly sailings, the major route had plenty of vehicle traffic, with all vessels running.
Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca
Now the long, late summer is gone, and the political theatre resumes. Transportation Minister Mary Polak picked up where the retiring Blair Lekstrom left off, reminding people that BC Ferries is going to deal with rising costs primarily by ceasing the practice of running vessels a third full or less. This comes as “consultation” begins with smaller ferry communities on where and when these sailings will be cut. And it follows the first major price-cap decision by the newly empowered B.C. Ferry Commissioner, Gord Macatee. He now can determine service levels as well as fares, which are permitted to rise about four per cent in each of the next three years. The NDP’s ferry critic, North Coast MLA Garry Coons, has

also decided to transition to his government pensions next year. But before he sails away, he has doubled his repertoire of outraged sound bites to two. Along with every coffeeshop know-it-all on the coast, Coons perpetually reminds us ferries are “part of our highway system.” He remains convinced this financially illiterate cliché somehow deals with the fact even a subsidy approaching $200 million this year can’t keep all those boats afloat forever. A family of four on a long driving trip faces similar price increases, when you factor in tolls, insurance, food and other costs beyond the fuel tank. But for some reason the “government” is supposed to provide special relief to those who choose the most inaccessible places to live. Coons’ latest tack is BC Ferries has lost its way, trying to be a fancy cruise ship service instead of giving people basic transportation at an affordable price. That would be terrible if it were true. But those amenities on

newer vessels are there because they make money, utilizing staff who have to be on board anyway. As everyone but the NDP seems to grasp, the big costs are fuel, maintenance, and minimum crew levels to meet federal regulations, regardless of passenger revenue. I was reminded on the last busy weekend of the year that the new Coastal-class ferries kept vehicle capacity the same while increasing passenger space. This choice anticipated today’s travel reality nearly a decade ago. Good thing somebody was able to understand ferries as a business, as opposed to a welfare program for the reclusive and the rich. BC Ferries has already cut sailings on the TsawwassenDuke Point route. As described in an earlier column, this needlessly long run is the biggest boondoggle in BC Ferries history, a Dave Barrett-era payoff to the union that continues today. Changes will now come to other routes that minimize shifts and overtime, rather than inflating them.

Some names for New West schools Re: Naming New Westminster’s new schools I really like the name Eva Markvoort Middle School or, for either the middle or elementary school, 65 Red Roses school. But I would ask Eva’s family which they prefer. My other ideas for names are Rhonda Larrabee School or Chief Rhonda Larrabee School, named for the chief of the QayQayt First Nation. Perhaps it would replace John Robson as a name because he supported racist policies but, as he was a supporter of the female suffrage movement, he might have liked a female leader to be recognized. Or one of the schools might be named for Rhonda Larrabee’s mother, Marie Joseph, her name when she was one of the last Qayqayt to be sent away to residential school. Or Marie Lee Bandura, or what ever name Rhonda and her family would prefer. Despite the fact some have said all New West’s schools are named

Leak at library a mystery
FACTORY
Librarians love a good mystery but the New Westminster Public Library had one on their hands they couldn’t solve on the weekend. Part of the non-fiction section on the second floor was closed off as a precaution after water came through the tiled ceiling in the library on Sunday, said chief librarian Julie Spurrell. She called in roofers Monday to investigate the leak and to find a way to make sure it

doesn’t happen again. “It’s a flat roof so it’s hard to know where exactly it comes in,” said Spurrell. “That was an incredible storm yesterday. The sound of the wind, and the entire area the trees were going sideways. I guess we’re paying for our beautiful summer. Finally the rain is here and it came with a vengeance.” No books were damaged, and although a small area was still cordoned off on Monday, staff
developed a way to get to the books if a visitor needs access to any of them. Spurrell said occasionally in the past the library has had some leakage, but not in the area that it occurred on Sunday. High rain and heavy wind sometimes causes leaks on the west side of the building but they can be dealt with quickly, she said. The library was built in 1958 with an expansion in 1978.

Cartwright also attacked the city for “blithely” accepting a parking study commissioned by Elizabeth Fry that said only 20 spaces would be required, when the 26-vehicle lot that’s there today is frequently full. “They know the parking is inadequate,” she said. “They already need more than that.” Coun. Bill Harper said the rezoning wasn’t sent to the APC because the only changes were the size of the building and the parking. Day care can be included in the future because it would be allowed under the new
zoning. He said all the issues raised by the residents are well understood by councillors. “We know all about the issues, so it’s really difficult to say we haven’t heard them,” said Harper, who pointed out the city has gone to great lengths to notify area residents of the proceedings, even expanding the radius of the usual notification. “I’d conclude the residents already know what’s going on. If they didn’t they’ve been asleep or gone away.” He has been upset about some of the things being said by the residents. “The kind of communications
from some of the neighbours has been inappropriate,” said Harper. “They said staff was manipulative …. That’s wrong and inappropriate. No. 1 it’s not true, and No. 2 there’s no benefit. And if they really want to have council listen to what they say then they should be doing it in a respectful manner.” The west side of the new, 15,000-square-foot building is expected to have a multipurpose space on the ground floor and the society’s offices on the second and third floors while the east side would have 10 units of non-market housing for women and children.

Some steps are magical.
NWSS grad wins award
Specializing in SAS shoes
A New Westminster secondary grad now working as a radio journalist in Africa is one of the first recipients of Royal Roads University’s alumni awards. Mading Ngor came to Canada as a child after his village was destroyed by violent attacks and his father killed during the civil war in Sudan. He graduated from NWSS in 2006 before going on to get a bachelors degree in professional communication from Royal Roads. Ngor returned to the new country of South Sudan “where he is a fearless radio journalist and a contributor to other media outlets such as Reuters and the Huffington Post,” said a Royal Roads press release. Ngor and one other recipient will be given their award, which was created to honour alumni who have become leaders of change in their communities, at a luncheon in Victoria on Oct. 22. Ngor will also present a lecture, Voices for Freedom, on Oct. 24.
May they all be comfortable.

be branded family friendly. The program is a partnership of KidsNewWest.ca, the United Way and New Westminster’s Child Development Public Partners. Businesses can sign up to qualify for the amenities, activities or attitude categories. Amenities are items that can improve a child-care provider’s experience, such as a high chair or kids menu. The activities category focuses on children, for example a play area or colouring sheets. A family friendly attitude refers to how staff interact with families. “When people become parents we all know their lives change,” said Marjorie
Staal, a committee member and executive director of New Westminster Family Place. “By working with the local businesses to promote the Family Friendly Business Program, it is win-win—from the parents who are trying to shop, to the businesses who are depending on their customers returning, to the children learning about their community.” Businesses signing up for the no-cost program get a window badge and a listing in the online directory. River Market, Boston Pizza and Gino’s Restaurant have already signed up. Visit www.kidsnewwest.biz for more.

MV tipping fees to dip Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver plans to trim its garbage tipping fee by $2 to $105 per tonne next year. The waste fee had shot up sharply in recent years, largely because waste volumes have fallen since the 2008-09 recession, forcing all other users to pick up a larger share of regional garbage disposal and recycling costs than before. Metro managers say regional waste volumes have now stabilized and they can afford to cut the fee since the function is running at a surplus. Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt wanted to keep tipping fees at $107 to encourage recycling and because waste handling costs are forecast to climb much higher in the years ahead. “That gives a solid indication to business that want to invest in recycling that the number isn’t going to go all over the place,” he said at Metro’s zero waste committee. If there’s extra money, Hunt suggested it could go to helping cities deal with illegal dumping along rural roads. Even with the $2 reduction they will be 60 per cent above 2006 levels. Waste flows in Metro have declined from 1.3 million tonnes per year before the recession to about one million now. Another reason Metro planners support a tipping fee cut is because some commercial haulers are increasingly taking loads out of the region to Abbotsford, where they can save about 40 per cent by using a private transfer station. Solid waste manager Paul Henderson said Metro wants to take some pressure off haulers who continue to use Metro transfer stations and pay tipping fees that support recycling here. Regulations will be proposed next year to ban the commercial hauling of waste outside
Metro Vancouver. Metro is also chopping its mattress recycling fee from $20 to $15 per mattress, saying that more accurately reflects the costs. Officials hope the lower fee will reduce the problem of illegal dumping of old mattresses, which became much worse since Metro banned them from the landfill in 2011 and imposed the $20 charge at its transfer stations.
Small tax hike The regional taxes and utility fees paid to Metro Vancouver by homeowners are expected to go up 0.9 per cent next year. That translates into a $4 increase to $448 in 2013 for all Metro services for an average home assessed at $714,000. The regional district’s draft budget for 2013 rises 2.5 per cent to $635 million, but growth in the region’s tax base means the tax hike per home is smaller. Sewage and drainage is the biggest part of the budget, accounting for $171 next year per average home, followed by $148 for drinking water, $89 for solid waste and $40 for other regional services, including parks, air quality monitoring, planning and administration. Utility costs have already risen sharply in recent years but the regional district expects further significant increases will have to be passed on to property owners in the future. Elected directors had agreed to a maximum average household hit of $11 or 2.5 per cent this year, but staff reduced that by shelving or cutting some spending. One of the big bills on the horizon is the estimated $1.4-billion cost to replace the Lions Gate and Iona sewage treatment plants.

The New Westminster Hyacks certainly weren’t singing in the rain Friday night as the Notre Dame Jugglers rained on their parade with a 32-6 AAA high school football victory at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West. The loss left the Hyacks winless in three regular season games and 3-4 overall. New West had seven turnovers in the game with four of them coming in the first half and leading to 24 points by the Jugglers. “I’m disappointed we handed them the game,” said Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji on Monday. “They’re a good team and played well, but seven turnovers and alan waRdle/hyackS more than half we just gave up because of Sonu Kainth (76) and Jordan Chin (55) of the New Westminster weather conditions that we didn’t respond Hyacks tackle Notre Dame running back Mike Aranzaso during their AAA high school football game at Burnaby Lake Sports to and they did.” Complex West on Friday won by the Jugglers 32-6.

Metro lowers bar for incineration alternatives Qualifications debated for new waste-to-energy plant Jeff Nagel
jnagel@blackpress.ca
Metro Vancouver will set a lower bar for emerging waste-toenergy technologies to be considered when it calls for bidders to build a new plant to
consume a big chunk of the region’s garbage. Proponents must have recently operated a reference plant somewhere in the world where they can prove their technology processes at least 25,000 tonnes per year of municipal garbage. That’s a much lower threshold than Metro staff had
previously envisioned but a majority of the regional district’s zero waste committee endorsed the change Thursday. It’s also a lot less than the 370,000 tonnes per year in extra waste-to-energy capacity the region plans to build by 2018. The compromise aims to satisfy
Vancouver councillors, directors who think who oppose mass-burn incineration conventional garbage will ultimately be the incineration most efficient, outright but cost-effective – after failing to solution and block it entirely fear Vancouver’s – want to give quest for alternative a greener, technologies a newer system corrigaN fighting chance may prove of being chosen. unworkable, too costly On the other side or both. of the debate are Vancouver Coun.
IF EVERYONE IN B.C. CHANGED ONE INCANDESCENT LIGHT TO AN ENERGY STAR® LED, WE’D SAVE ENOUGH ENERGY TO LIGHT 47,941 CLASSROOMS FOR A YEAR. Let’s be smart with our power and waste less energy by switching to ENERGY STAR LED and CFL bulbs. Find great deals on ENERGY STAR lighting at powersmart.ca/lighting
Andrea Reimer had proposed to set the bar even lower – at just 15,000 tonnes processed by emerging technology a year – but other directors rejected that. “That is scary for me,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, who supports incineration as a tried-and-true option. He suggested Vancouver is happy to fight incineration not simply out of aspirations to be seen as a green city, but because it owns the Vancouver Landfill in Delta, where it has cheap garbage disposal that’s separate from Metro’s system. “They’ve got the Vancouver Landfill at a significantly reduced cost compared to what all the rest of us are paying.” Reimer rejected that accusation, saying Vancouver council is not pro-landfill. “We would love to get out of the landfill business,” she said, adding she fears that if the region invests in mass-burn incineration it will end up “feeding the beast” – sending too much garbage to be burned – instead of finding better ways to recycle more of it. Metro’s board will vote at the end of October on the final procurement strategy, which starts with a request for qualifications to identify qualified proponents and their technologies. A separate call will seek potential sites – both in and out of
region – for the new waste-to-energy plant or plants. A short list of proponents would then be matched with sites and they would bid in 2014 in a final request for proposals. After a winning bidder is picked in early 2015, the project would go through an environmental assessment and other permitting. Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt said he wants Metro staff to consider not just the costs of a new plant but the revenue it might generate from the sale of electricity, heat or other byproducts. “To me it’s a much bigger picture than just the cost of the facility and choosing the cheapest one possible,” he said. Hunt also proposed – as a way of mollifying Vancouver – that staff ensure at least one nonincineration technology gets short-listed. But that was shot down when Corrigan and others said it would be wrong to deem a proposal to be qualified that wouldn’t otherwise pass that test. Metro staff said they are confident nonincineration options will be proposed and will qualify for consideration on their own merits. About 280,000 tonnes per year is burned at the existing Burnaby waste-toenergy plant.
