continue today, and those 11 neighbourhoods all have their own residents’ associations.

They each differ, offering advantages and challenges, but they have a common thread – a unique character. And, if you’ve been in the city for a bit, you might also say each neighbourhood has true loyalists and boosters.

We don’t want to reignite old whose ‘hood is better arguments – but let’s just say it’s better not to dis anyone’s neighbourhood in this fine city.

Sapperton, a village within the city

S

apperton is a neighbourhood rich in history and strong with community connections, with all the hallmarks of a village and a distinct identity to match.

From the block parties with neighbours, to the walkable tree-lined streets and the downtown feel along East Columbia, the developing Brewery District and the busy hospital hub, there’s a sense that Sapperton is a town within the city.

Sapperton is nestled ON MY BEAT in the northeast corner JENNIFER MOREAU of New Westminster, flush with Coquitlam and Burnaby, and bordered by McBride Boulevard on the west, East Eighth Avenue to the north, and Brunette Avenue and East Columbia Street in the southeast.

Sapperton descends from Massey Victory Heights down to the Fraser, and offers views of the river, Mount Baker and the Coast Mountains.

East Columbia is the main retail strip, where you can get a tattoo, learn martial arts, brew your own beer or have Thai for lunch. Cap’s Bicycle Shop is a landmark in the neighbourhood; the family-owned business has been in Sapperton since 1932. Gino’s Restaurant, another familyrun business, has been in the neighbourhood for decades and is popular among locals, as is Greens and Beans Deli, where the money in the tip jar is donated to various local causes.

The City of New Westminster has spent millions over the years to improve Sapperton’s business area, mainly developing the roadways and sidewalks and installing new streetlights. The Wesgroup

The hospital now sees an average of 66,000 emergency visits per year and offers high-level trauma care. Royal Columbian is a major employer for the neighbourhood (and beyond), but with high numbers of staff and visitors come parking problems for local residents.

Like many New West neighbourhoods, Sapperton has its traffic problems, with trucks rumbling along Braid Street and East Eighth Avenue.

But the recurring theme Sapperton residents talk about when describing their neighbourhood is the sense of connection.

Sapperton rich with connections

BY JENNIFER MOREAU REPORTER jmoreau@royalcityrecord.com

When Catherine Cartwright moved to Sapperton 20 years ago, she instantly felt the sense of community that many local residents describe.

“In one week being out in my yard, gardening, I met more people in one week than I met in six years living in Vancouver,” she says.

Cartwright, 55 and now president of the local residents’ association, says the people are really what define the community.

“You feel like you belong, you feel like everybody supports and cares for each other, and there’s a real diversity in the neighbourhood, which I think is very important,” she says. “There’s old people, there’s middle-aged people, there’s young people, there’s babies, there’s teenagers, there’s a real cross section of nationalities, there’s a cross section of sexualities, there’s a real representation of all diversity in the community at large, and I think that’s really a good thing.”

Most people are familiar with the Sapperton Day Street Festival, an annual community celebration that draws thousands. But feeling connected to your community goes beyond public festivals; it’s also important to know your neighbours.

According to a 2012 report by the Vancouver Foundation, many people are pulling away from community life. Roughly a third of people surveyed in Metro Vancouver find it difficult to make friends in the city and connections are “cordial but weak.” Many people do not know their neighbours, and one in four report feeling alone.

Sapperton appears to be an exception.

Neighbourhood

Sapperton, it was kind of a forgotten little pocket. It was surrounded by little roads. Most of the people in the neighbourhood were original owners. … It was a really family (oriented) neighbourhood, and people stayed. It was kind of overlooked by the real estate market, so it was a lot less expensive. …

But it’s obviously been discovered now.”

Two decades later, people still stop to talk while Cartwright gardens in front of her home.

“There was a time I used to stop and chat, now I keep digging,” she says laughing. “Otherwise I would never get anything done.”

Slow but steady for this neighbourhood According to the latest available census data, Sapperton’s population growth is somewhat slow compared to the rest of New Westminster.

From 2001 to 2006, the population increased by just two per cent to 4,485, but the neighbourhood has more adults in their mid-30s and 40s.

Residents tend to work in areas of business, finance, administration, sales and service. Health is another sector where Sapperton

residents outnumber the rest of the city, which is not surprising, given that Royal Columbian Hospital is in the neighbourhood.

While English is the most common language spoken, Sapperton also has a significant number of immigrants from the Philippines, and, interesting to note, Bulgarian is the second-most common language spoken in the home.

The divide between renters and homeowners is roughly 46 and 53 per cent, respectively.

For the majority of Sapperton residents, roughly two-thirds, housing is affordable, while approximately one-third of both renters and homeowners spend more than 30 per cent of their income on rent or mortgage payments. The average Sapperton household income is just under $63,000.

The City of New Westminster has data on Sapperton from 1970, but it’s a bit like comparing apples and oranges, because the area includes Massey-Victory Heights,

a more affluent neighbourhood.

Four decades ago, Sapperton residents mostly worked in industrial or institutional jobs.

In the manufacturing sector, wood and paper were the top industries. The average family income in 1970 was $11,706, which was the highest in New Westminster and more than the Canadian average at the time, which was roughly $6,400 – again, that data covers Sapperton and Massey-Victory Heights.

have more money – or control more shares – have a greater say when a vote is taken.

More importantly – and this is where the line between business and the business of government tends to get cloudy – a country’s prime assets are its people, and their well-being is the reason for the government’s existence, while in a corporation, people are just assets – and money is the ultimate goal.

That distinction appears to have been lost almost entirely in Canada’s governance of late.

Only science that bears financial fruit is allowed relevance. Research that dares to question the validity of the corporate view of economics is stamped out.

Human rights are those that do not stand in the way of monetary gain.

And now, as apparently clarified by goings-on in Brazil, even our spies have identified the national interest of Canada to be congruent with the financial interests of our corporations.

When it’s only money that does the talking, it’s strictly business.

High time students considered trades IN THE HOUSE

A

KEITH BALDREY

young female friend of our family approached me the other day and said she has decided to drop out of university and pursue something else.

“I’m thinking of becoming a welder. What do you think?” she asked me.

I congratulated her on her choice and told her it was very likely she would have a wellpaying career a lot quicker than most of her university-bound friends and that it would last a very long time.

I was reminded of that encounter upon hearing the news that the B.C. Construction Association is once again heading to Ireland to find about 600 qualified trades people to fill positions in this province.

Not only is this a return trip to Ireland, but it follows a similar expedition to California last year.

I’ve written about our looming skills shortage before, but there are few signs the problem is being addressed in any significant way.

And time is of the essence.

The raw demographical change that is starting to ripple through society at an accelerating pace is

having an impact that literally grows by the day.

For example, as more and more baby boomers ease into retirement (albeit at a later year than in the past) the vacancies in all kinds of trained occupations start to mushroom. The peak of the boomer generation will retire in about 10 years, and that is when we may be in a genuine crisis if action is not taken now.

How do these demographic changes play out in the workplace?

Well, those that retire are often the people who are in management or in senior supervisory positions. On construction projects, that translates into a lot of foremen and project managers leaving, without adequately trained (and experienced) hands to replace them.

Adding to the urgency of solving this problem (“crisis” would not be an overstatement) is the fact that a number of major industrial projects are set to come on line in the foreseeable future. Pipelines, LNG plants, several new mines, wind farms, plus the regular ongoing construction projects – all will require in total tens of thousands of new, properly trained trades workers.

One government estimate concludes that over the next 10 to 15 years more than 150,000 vacancies in the trades will need to be filled. Premier Christy Clark has engaged with the unionized B.C. Building Trade

City needs train derailment plan Dear Editor:

Living in the West End of New Westminster and reading all the stories about train derailments taking place across Canada and around the world gets one thinking that obnoxious noises in the night are the least of our worries. Just imagine for a minute what New Westminster would look like if the kind of derailment that took place in Lac-Mégantic occurred here. New Westminster is already a traffic chokepoint. It can take 20 minutes to drive a few blocks on a good day; a fender-bender on Stewardson Way can create gridlock lasting for hours. Picture tens of thousands of panicky people – families with children, handicapped people in wheelchairs, seniors with limited mobility, hospital patients – trying to flee while a massive fire spews toxic chemicals into ◗Trades Page 7 the atmosphere. Emergency services would soon be

overwhelmed, that is if emergency workers themselves weren’t fleeing for their own safety.

We need information. We need a plan.

The information the city has on its website about emergency preparedness is woefully inadequate; lots of bromides about how good the city’s program is, but not much detail about what to do when the fires are roaring and the toxic clouds are roiling; a time when most people are less likely to be logging on to websites than getting in their cars and stepping on the gas. Obviously different situations would call for different responses, but an evacuation order issued in the heat of battle is going to lead to chaos. We need a plan, and we need public education about what to do when disaster strikes.

What we don’t need are patronizing assurances from “officials” and “experts” that “everything” is being done to assure our safety and that it “can’t ◗Trains Page 7

happen here.”

Tell that to the people of Lac-Mégantic, or the people of Gainford, Alta., where a CN Rail train carrying liquefied petroleum gas and crude oil derailed and exploded on Oct. 18, or the people of Sexsmith, Alta., where four cars carrying anhydrous ammonia derailed two days earlier. The list of derailments is long and growing. It happens all the time, and it happens in cities big and small.

As for those who like to argue that trains are traveling too slowly through New Westminster to derail, please consider the recent (Sept. 11) incident in Calgary where eight rail cars carrying flammable liquids came off the tracks as a slow-moving train was heading northbound out of the Canadian Pacific Railway’s Alyth Yard in the city’s Southeast. It can happen here, and it probably will based on the incidence rate for train derailments and the volume of rail traffic passing through the city, and we better be ready for it when it does.

Trades: Skilled B.C. workers needed ◗ continued from page 6

Council to tap into what she calls their “trap line” of skilled workers in the United States to help fill those jobs.

But we need workers from B.C. as well. And this brings us to our education system and whether it is doing enough to close this skills gap.

Both Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have dropped broad hints some big changes may be coming, in both the K-12 and postsecondary sides of the education equation.

Perhaps students will be offered more choices, or encouragement, at an earlier age to consider getting a trade as their career. If it becomes clear to young people that the way to a well-paying job is through a trade and not a vaguely defined university degree, perhaps there will be a

much bigger take-up of a trades vocation.

Any changes in the post-secondary system regarding making trades more of a priority are trickier and potentially more controversial.

Universities and colleges rightly value their academic freedom and independence. However, the days of a provincial government handing over millions of dollars to a post-secondary institution with no strings attached may be drawing to a close.

I’ve heard the premier say she doesn’t see the point of universities simply churning out more, to pick just one example, teachers when there is a surplus of teachers. This may translate into her government increasing funding for trades training programs by taking funding away from other post-secondary programs, which

will likely be met with howls of outrage from the academic community.

While traditionally academic degrees such as arts degrees remain valuable (the so-called “credentials inflation” means some kind of degree is required even for jobs not needing one a decade ago) we need more young people like my family friend who are willing to step outside the box.

And they must be given greater opportunities to do that, which means more government funding. They are the workers who will not only benefit financially, but who will help solve a problem that could inflict serious damage on our economy.

Young women wanting to be welders?

More please.

City receives ‘fantastic’ response to ’Boro link

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster received a “fantastic” response to its survey about a pedestrian/bicycle crossing from the Quayside neighbourhood to Queensborough.

Carolyn Armanini, a planning analyst with the city, said the city received a lot of questionnaires before the Oct. 16 deadline.

“The response from the community has been fantastic,” she wrote in an Oct. 17 email to The Record. “I don’t know exactly how many but at last count it was around 150 (a few more have come in since).”

Staff will be summarizing the responses and presenting the information to council in November.

“We still have to meet with the spe-

cial services and access committee and Casino.

The city currently has $6.2 million in gaming funds available for the crossing and has until 2017 to use that money to build a crossing.

Five Hyack directors resign before showdown

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Five Hyack Festival Association board directors are resigning in light of the ongoing turmoil within the ranks at the organization that runs the city’s biggest annual festival.

The association has been dealing with an internal dust-up between those who support the former executive director and those who wanted him fired.

Directors Patti Goss, Bill Radbourne, Stephen Loyd, Ron Unger and Mariane Kazemir issued a letter stating they are leaving their posts because they “fer-

Fire chief confident asbestos no cause for concern

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The fog that’s been blanketing the Royal City has been the best dust-suppression measure at the site of a devastating fire on Columbia Street.

When the E.L. Lewis Block and the Hamly Block were destroyed in the Oct. 10 fire, it took out many local businesses. The fire also resulted in a pile of rubble, which contains elevated risks of asbestos.

“The city did street cleaning right after, we did sidewalk cleaning. The engineering department was out washing the sidewalks down. Really containment of any asbestos was to keep it damp and keep it controlled, and keep the dust down,” Fire Chief Tim Armstrong told The Record. “This last week of fog was probably the best wetting agent to keep any dust down in the area.”

Although he said he wouldn’t want to “stick my neck out and say there is 100 per cent no health concern,” Armstrong is confident there’s no cause for alarm about asbestos generated at the site. He said the fire department used its asbestos management plan at the scene during and after the fire, and consulted with the restoration

companies working for insurance companies at the site.

“We are comfortable with the procedures they had,” he said.

“They brought in an environmental protection company that did surface testing for contaminants.

They supplied us with a report that there were elevated levels of asbestos. That’s not a secret. They were just above the permissible limits for WorkSafe B.C.” According to Armstrong, the testing was done a day after the fire, when investigators began entering demolished building.

“From that, they set up a decontamination area for workers coming out,” he said. “They had to have proper personal protective equipment on, proper respirators and suits, gloves and a method of decontaminating and discarding any garments that were used there.”

Armstrong said asbestos is a product commonly used in older buildings; it’s found in cement mortar for brickwork and in drywall joint compounds and is wrapped around pipes.

“Asbestos in its form is fine – it’s the airborne dust particles that are created when you start to do demolition work or things like that. Now you’ve got that fibrous product and it’s airborne,” he said

Jason Lang/THE RECORD

Aftermath: Debris at the site of a massive fire on Columbia Street contains asbestos that exceeds limits permitted by WorkSafe B.C. about the risk. “There are control methods like using hose lines and keeping it wet. And keeping it damp so it’s not fine particulate dust. From a public heath perspective, it’s not like it flies all over the place.”

Armstrong said people working with asbestos on an ongoing basis and not taking precautions would be most at risk.

Ken Donahue, a senior communications consultant at Fraser

Health, said the region’s chief medical health officer said Fraser Health Authority has no information about this particular case. He said the health authority teams would only consider potential health risks from the fire contacted by the fire department because of concerns from a public health perspective.

“We would then go in and monitor it from a public health perspective,” he said. “The fire

department is going to monitor it for any potential risks or hazards, and if there were any from a public health perspective they would let us know. But they haven’t done that, so the first call is going to have to be to the fire department.”

Fire destroyed the E.L. Lewis Block (also known as the Crescent Block) at 634 Columbia St. and the majority of the Hamly Block at 628 Columbia St. The fire department has ordered that the rear portion of the Hamly Block that is still standing to be demolished as soon as possible.

“It’s not salvageable,” Armstrong said. “We don’t want people going back in there. It’s going to need to come down. The same with the site. It needs to be remediated and cleaned up. That needs to be done in a timely manner.”

Having concluded their on-site investigation, New Westminster police and fire departments have released the scene back to the owner and the insurance companies.

“It’s still an active investigation with ourselves and police,” Armstrong said. “I can’t really speculate on the cause and origin right now. We are working on it.”

◗ IN THE COMMUNITY

Greens and Beans host fundraiser ◗P15 Couple makes the move to New West ◗P19

Guitarists coming to city to strum their stuff New Westminster is once again welcoming some of the world’s top guitarists.

The International Guitar Night tour is returning to Massey Theatre for a Friday, Nov. 8 performance.

This year’s tour includes San Francisco’s Brian Gore, founder of International Guitar Night, who brings his original “California fingerstyle” guitar techniques to a suite of songs inspired by the coast and wine country of his homeland.

He’ll be joined by Pino Forastiere, who a press release notes is Italy’s premier composer and technical innovator for fingerstyle guitar.

Forastiere employs “a dazzling blend of slapping, tapping and harmonics to awe and inspire listeners,” the release says.

Also on the bill is Quique Sinesi, considered one of Argentina’s most influential guitarists, who blends the tango and folklore of his country into a personal style that integrates jazz, classical and world music.

Rounding out the evening will be Mike Dawes of the U.K., a 24year-old whose innovative style has won him both Internet stardom and critical acclaim.

They’ll be on stage starting at 7:30 p.m.

For more about the show, see www.internationalguitarnight. com.

Tickets are $24 regular, or $16 for students and seniors, plus service charges.

To buy tickets, call 604-521-5050 or purchase them online through www.masseytheatre.com. jmaclellan@royalcityrecord.com

Hallucinations led to new book

From food allergyinduced hallucinations to a life of art and poetry.

That’s the journey that Tri-Cities resident Gloria

Barkley has been on, and she’s sharing her work with a book launch and art display at the Arts Council of New Westminster.

She’s launching her new book, Water Window Mirror, published by Watle and Daub Books, with a special event on Saturday, Oct. 26 from 1 to 3 p.m.

A press release explains that Barkley’s art is the result of an unusual journey: for 22 years, she lived with allergy-induced hallucinations.

“Tables came to life, her own children seemed unreal, and yet she carried on living life with her trademark humour and grace,” the release explains. “She raised three children, obtained a degree in art, and, luckily for us, discovered and developed her talent for writing.

These beautifully sculpted poems take us along with Gloria through apparent

mental illness through to a new food additive- and hallucination-free life.”

A number of her sculptures will be on hand for the book launch, and she’ll be having a full art show this spring at the gallery.

To find out more about the book, check out wattle anddaubbooks.blogspot.ca.

The arts council gallery is at Centennial Lodge, Queen’s Park.

Post-fire fundraiser a success AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

G

reens and Beans Deli dished out hundreds of bowls of soup on Saturday to help its peers in downtown New Westminster.

While a number of fundraisers are in the works to raise money for businesses impacted by the Oct. 10 fire on Columbia Street, the Sapperton deli wasted no time. Owners Leona Green and son Matt Green decided to donate all proceeds of soup sold on Oct. 19 to the fund established to help downtown businesses.

Fire Chief Tim Armstrong and three firefighters attended the fundraiser, as did New Westminster-Coquitlam MP Fin Donnelly, Mayor Wayne Wright and councillors Jonathan Cote, Bill Harper, Chuck Puchmayr and Lorrie Williams.

Leona says New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy was a “huge help” and stayed at the fundraiser from start to finish. The event raised $1,100.

“Key West Ford was wonderful,” Leona wrote in an email to The Record.

“They got 55 bowls of soup and paid $200 for them. That was so nice.”

Leona was also thrilled with support from another New Westminster business, which contributed to the event’s success.

“I ordered a couple banners from One Source Productions on 12th Street.

When I went to pick them up I said, ‘how much?’ and he said, ‘free, it is my donation to the cause,’” Leona said. “Isn’t that nice? What a nice bunch of people we have in New Westminster!”

Seniors continue to have talent

The recent Seniors Have Talent event was such a hit that a date has been set for next year’s show.

Based on the success of the Oct. 5 talent show, the New Westminster Lions Club and the Sapperton Old Age Pensioners Association have already set the date for Saturday, Oct. 18, 2014. If you can’t wait until then to check out the talent pool, two of the Seniors Have Talent performers will be singing at an upcoming fundraiser.

Bryan Pickering and Howie Hiebert will be singing on the MV Native paddlewheeler on Sunday, Dec. 1.

“They are offering their time for this Greater Vancouver Food Bank fundraiser,” said event promoter Vic Leach. “This is an initiative of Capt.

Doug and Helga Leaney to support the food bank.

With cash plus food donation, you can get aboard and see the shores of the Fraser from the ship, as well as assist the food bank.”

Two sailings will leave from Westminster Quay (by the Inn at Westminster Quay), both lasting one-and-a-half hours.

(Departure times have yet to be confirmed).

For reservations and details, call 604-525-4465 or email: info@vancouver paddlewheeler.com.

M

y grandfather always said “if you can see over the counter you’re old enough to work”. That was the start of a career and a passion. I am a third generation jeweller as my grandfather, James Cartwright started the business in 1933, my father, Don Cartwright followed in his footsteps. In 1985 I joined the family business and have in turn taken it over. This year we are celebrating our 80th year in business. My philosophy is “Always give back to the community for they are the ones who are supporting you.”

Excellent customer service has been and will always be the cornerstone of our family business, combined with consistent top quality craftsmanship and design. This is the reason for the continued success of our jewellery store.

As a third generation business it is truly an honour to serve customers who dealt with my father or grandfather and to help their children and their children’s children.

We were one of the first jewellery stores to carry Canadian Diamonds in the lower mainland and have maintained a continuous climb in the selling of the world’s finest diamonds that have been mined, cut and polished in Canada. Diamond mines of Canada are one of the richest sources of diamonds in the world today. Canadian Diamonds are sought after all over the world for the same reasons that Canadians are respected in other countries.

Our mining practices respect the land, the environment and our people.

Police round up roadrunners Traffic safety blitz found fewer offenders this year

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

Drivers in New Westminster seem to be getting the message that bad driving habits could have serious consequences after police released the results of this year’s Operation Impact traffic safety blitz.

From Oct. 11 to 14, while most people were enjoying the holiday weekend, New Westminster police officers were roaming the streets

looking for dangerous, distracted or impaired drivers. The four-day campaign focused on the four most common dangerous habits of drivers: lack of seat belts, drinking and driving, aggressive driving and distracted driving.

This year, officers issued a total of 87 tickets, a substantial step down from the almost 150 tickets that were issued in 2012, according to the New Westminster police.

Of the 87 tickets issued, only 17 were for distracted driving, which police are calling a success after officers handed out 59 tickets last October.

“We hope this trend continues given the dangers posed by people using cellphones for calling or texting while driving,” said Staff Sgt. Paul Hyland in a media release.

Aggressive drivers, however, still racked up the most tickets this year.

Police issued 52 tickets for aggressive driving, which includes speeding, unsafe lane changes, following too closely, failing to obey red lights or stop signs.

All in all, the results were positive, according to the release. There were two fewer roadside prohibitions than in 2012 and one less seat belt ticket too.

“It feels like its own town. You don’t have to go to Burnaby and Vancouver for everything, and so that was a big draw for us.”

The couple lives in the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood, above Royal Avenue.

Looking up: Mairi Lester moved to New Westminster last Easter and loves that the city is centrally located in the Lower Mainland. Lester and her boyfriend also love that they can do an online treasure hunting game they enjoy. (an online treasurer hunt where one uses a GPS to hunt along with other participants).

Q: What would you change about the city?

A: It would be nice if there was more of an evening life, and I don’t mean evening like clubbing and that sort of stuff, but if there was more evening activities.

With them are the Tiger Exhibit ensemble, including drummer Charles Li, Hayden Goss on trumpet, Tiger Xu on trombone, Spencer Atherley on saxophone and Xander Skelton on electric guitar.

Tigers, Hyacks – and all that jazz

BY DON HAUKA REPORTER

editorial@royalcityrecord.com

These Hyacks have a tiger by the tailgate.

When organizers of the Hyack Football Tailgate Auction were looking for ways to jazz up the event, a hot high school band grabbed them by the ears.

When they found out that Tiger Exhibit – a New Westminster Secondary School jazz ensemble – was trying to help raise money for a band trip to Cuba, they decided to sign the group to perform at the football fundraiser. And a few football players will be jamming with their more musically inclined fellow students when they entertain guests at the Oct. 26 event.

That’s music to the ears of Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji.

“NWSS has team spirit to burn, whether it’s on the field or on the stage,” said Lalji.

“The Tiger Exhibit-Hyacks jazz band will take this Saturday’s tailgate auction football program fundraiser over the top, while helping the band raise funds for their Cuba trip at the same time.”

The six-piece jazz band (part of the NWSS band program) will serenade guests at La Perla Ballroom at the Quay along

with Hyack football players who are also NWSS band musicians.

Tailgate Auction organizers were able to pay Tiger Exhibit an honorarium to play at the event thanks to a sponsorship from Paul Minhas of the Heritage Grill. The funds provide money towards the NWSS band trip to Cuba.

In return, the Tiger Exhibit scratches the Hyacks’ backs by providing the entertainment that helps the football team raise funds for their projects.

The 11th annual Hyack Football Tailgate Auction sponsored by River Market at Westminster Quay takes place Oct. 26.

This year’s fundraiser features a wine tasting reception hosted by Pacific Breeze Winery, live music and appearance by B.C. Lions “Felions” cheerleaders as part of a salute to the Leo’s 60th anniversary.

Prizes on the auction block include a Hawaiian holiday donated by Westland Insurance and a Caribbean cruise donated

by Odenza Carnival Cruise.

Tickets are $70 each or $500 for a table of eight. All proceeds go directly to the Hyacks football program to pay for equipment, training and ensuring that every child, regardless of their financial situation, gets to play football. See www.hyack footballtailgateauction.com.

City’s cultural map needs your input

Are you involved in arts and culture?

Do you create it, promote it, deliver it, care for it, teach it?

If so, make your voice known in the city’s new cultural mapping project.

Organizers of the New Westminster Cultural Map have launched a survey designed to collect details about New Westminster’s cultural resources. It’s the first step in developing an interactive cultural map that’s designed to showcase the full scope of the city’s arts, culture and heritage community.

“We know that mapping cultural assets increases public appreciation, promotes tourism and builds community,” said Greg Magirescu, the city’s manager of arts and cultural development, in a press release.

“The survey is an essential step to building an interactive map, and we encourage anyone involved in the creation, promotion, delivery or care of, or education about, culture to complete the survey and help build the map.”

The survey can be found online at http://hjlinnen.com/survey.

The survey will be open until Dec. 31, after which the creation of the map will begin.

The map will feature cultural assets in a variety of fields – venues, festivals, individuals, organizations, public art/monuments, heritage and stories.

The map is expected to be online, hosted by the City of New Westminster, in early 2014.

The map will be updated regularly and will be linked to community partner websites, as well as being promoted on social media.

The New Westminster Cultural Map is a partnership between the Arts Council of New Westminster, the City of New Westminster and Douglas College, with the financial support of the provincial B.C. Creative Communities grant.

Autumn recipes to celebrate the season ON COOKING

O

CHEF DEZ

ur family loves autumn. The crisp cool days are refreshing after a long hot summer and, combined with beautifully coloured leaves rustling in the wind, make for a wonderful time of year. Cooking with seasonal ingredients enhances this whole experience.

This pumpkin vinaigrette recipe is one of our favourites. It captures the essence of pumpkin pie, but in a savoury format, rather than sweet. Be creative by tossing in greens and topping this autumnal salad with dried cranberries and sliced almonds for a truly amazing visual and eating escapade.

Also, what’s autumn without celebrating the harvest of hearty root vegetables? This recipe

for oven roasted root vegetables has the essence of rosemary and maple syrup and makes a perfect side dish for this time of year.

Pumpkin Vinaigrette Makes approximately 2 cups of dressing.

3/4 cup canned pure pumpkin 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 2 tbsp maple syrup 1 tbsp molasses 1 tbsp Dijon or grainy mustard 3/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 1/4 tsp pepper 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil Mix all the ingredients, except for the oil, together in a bowl, food processor, or blender. While continually mixing (or processing/blending), slowly add the olive oil in a thin stream until completely blended.

Oven Roasted Root Vegetables Makes approximately 5 to 6 cups.

To prevent excessive

bleeding of the red beets into the other vegetables, soak and rinse the diced beets repeatedly with cold water and then drain thoroughly before using in the recipe.

1 heaping cup of half-inch diced of each of the following root vegetables: onion, rutabaga, turnip, sweet potato, beets, carrots 2 large sprigs of fresh rosemary 2 tbsp canola oil, vegetable oil or olive oil 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 1 tbsp maple syrup Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl toss all of the ingredients together (except for the maple syrup). Spread on a large baking sheet, making sure the cut vegetables are not crowded.

Bake for 30 minutes, tossing every five to seven minutes. Add the maple syrup and stir to coat.

Bake for another 10 minutes.

Change might be welcomed. When people are unhappy and don’t know why or feel that they’re stuck in a rut, they may break off a relationship or quit their job, though they may be no happier in the end.

If our current circumstances are not great – we’re passing through a rough patch, we can look forward to them changing as well. As I comfort my patients with constipation and gas, this too shall pass.

We must accept the good with the bad and change itself, but we don’t have to take it lying down.

A new spin on sport: Blake Tsuyuki, in blue, of the Burnaby Judo Club throws Abbotsford’s Jady Retchev at the B.C. Judo provincial championships at the Ag Rec building in Abbotsford on Saturday.

Game-changer: Malcolm Lee rushed for 117 yards and threw for 73 in a stellar outing against Terry Fox. the game-winning TD with just 37 seconds left on the clock.

“Malcolm came in and played one of the best games of his life, maybe in the program,” said Kully.

“It sure is a nice feeling to pull one out in the fourth quarter.”

Lee finished with 117 yards rushing and 73 yards passing.

Flett had 82 total rushing and receiving yards. Marshall had 53 yards receiving.

With the win, STM moved into sole possession of second place in the Eastern conference,

two points behind unbeaten Lord Tweedsmuir.

Anthony Carteri, who scored STM’s second TD of the first quarter had seven tackles on defence.

He also had a hand in the blocked third-quarter field goal attempt.

Nick Landolt led the Knights with nine tackles. McKenzie had seven tackles and two sacks.

Usherwood and Darthe Cappelan had five tackles apiece.

After a poor week of practice two weeks ago that led to the team’s shutout loss to Tweedsmuir, Kully believes the win over Fox could be a season-changer.

“It just shows if we play to our potential we can play with anyone in the province. It restores the belief in self,” Kully said.

It’s crunch time

The New Westminster AAA varsity Hyacks come off a bye weekend with an important pre-playoff Western conference matchup with the Notre Dame Jugglers at Mercer Stadium on Friday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

The Hyacks close out the regular season at home against Handsworth on Nov. 1

The New Westminster Hyacks clinched a playoff spot, but it’s first place they’re after.

The junior varsity high school football team confirmed a ticket into the B.C. high school post season following a 35-6 victory over the Hugh Boyd Trojans last Thursday.

Adrian Cagampan scored two touchdowns on runs of 65 and 15 yards to help the unbeaten Hyacks to a 28-0 half-time lead.

Twin brother Brian Cagampan also rushed for a score, taking the ball into the end zone from 30 yards out for the game-opening touchdown.

Quarterback Jamie Shiho completed the firsthalf scoring with a short run.

Jordan Guzman had the fifth New West score off a short run in the second half.

“It was a good team win,” said former Hyack player and New West’s offensive coordinator Darnell Sikorski. “That clinched us a playoff spot, but overall we knew it was going to be a big test.”

Sikorski described the effort as “the best offensive game of the season.”

But most of the accolades went to the offensive line that had one of its best games, opening up the running game with sound downfield blocking, Sikorski added.

The defensive line also stood out. Grade 9 lineman Josh Olango had three tackles, including a couple in the Hugh Boyd backfield. James Cunningham also had a solid outing.

Next up for the JVs is a battle for first place with the 4-0 Vancouver College Fighting Irish and a chance to win the South division, said Sikorski.

“The kids are pretty motivated. … It’s definitely a big deal,” he said.

The JV Hyacks take on the Irish on Thursday at Mercer Stadium. Kickoff is at 5:30 p.m.

New West closes out the season at home against Holy Cross on Oct. 31.

The only team to take a point away from league champion Burnaby Central will get another chance in the BurWest banner boys’ soccer final today (Wednesday).

The Cariboo Hill Chargers upset league runner-up Moscrop Panthers 3-1 at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West Monday to advance to the district final.

Central kept its unbeaten streak intact, easily disposing of upstart Burnaby Mountain 5-0 in the other semifinal.

The Chargers showed good structure in the midfield to start the game but needed the sound goalkeeping of Mankirat Grewal to ensure them the final result.

Cariboo was rewarded with a 1-0 first-half lead after a scrambly first of two goals by Filip Janicijevic.

Moscrop’s Jakub Vincalek tied the score with a one-time volley off a free kick.

Janicijevic also tallied the game-winner on a similar scramble that began with a corner and ended with a rebound goal off a shot at goal by captain Kirk Menezes.

Manraj Sidhu clanged a shot off the Moscrop cross-
