What does future hold for Hyack? BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

The dust hasn’t settled as the in-fighting continues, but at least one city councillor says it may be time for the city to step in and help clean up the Hyack Festival Association’s mess before the events it hosts suffer.

It’s absolutely at risk.” The Hyack discussion may be in a closed meeting, because it may involve personnel, he said. But it is time to talk. “I think the citizens deserve council to take a serious look at how we deliver these events that everyone still wants us to deliver,” he said. The former MLA said he and others on council chose to stand back from the Hyack dust-up and hold off as long as they could to allow the organization to resolve its internal dispute, but

Take Back Our Port rally set for high noon BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A proposed coal transfer facility at Fraser Surrey Docks is fueling a debate about port projects. A number of environmental organizations are joining together to support the Take Back Our Port rally that’s being held at Westminster Quay on Sunday, Oct. 27 starting at noon. “So much of what is happening in our community is being driven by decisions

made by Port Metro Vancouver,” said Patrick Johnstone, spokesperson for New Westminster Environmental Partners. “The massive increase in container truck traffic on our residential streets, the baffling expenditure for freeways while transit services are being cut back, the inflexibility of rail operation on the Quayside all impact the livability of our community, yet citizens have a minimal voice on these topics. It is time for citizens to speak up to be part of the decision-making process; it’s time to consider having citizens overseeing gover-

What will replace Thrifty’s? BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

When Thrifty Foods opened in Sapperton, it was like a little piece of the island life Jen Arbo grew up with had come to New Westminster. But it may soon be washed away. Canada’s competition watchdog has ordered Sobeys to sell 23 grocery stores in Western Canada – including the Thrifty Foods in New Westminster – before it will approve a $5.8-billion purchase of grocer Safeway Canada. “It’s super sad. I got it in my neighbourhood and now they are ripping it away,” says Arbo, who does approximately 75 per cent of her shopping at the East Columbia Street store. “We do the Costco run, and occasionally, I will hit up Superstore. Save-On is the other place I go to. I actually have a real dislike of Safeway,” says Arbo, who owns a marketing and communications consulting company called Hyack Interactive. In 2007, Thrifty Foods became a division of Sobeys Inc. There are eight Thrifty Foods locations in Greater Vancouver and 29 locations on the Island as of November 2012. Arbo questions why New Westminster’s lone, two-yearold Thrifty’s is being shut down, while the city’s three Safeway stores and another on North Road at Lougheed Town Centre will stay open. “Why are they not closing one of the four Safeways that are in relatively close proximity?” she asks. “I don’t understand why the one Thrifty’s for miles around, which has already done this fabulous job of ingratiating itself into the community, … is the one being closed?” “It’s not a matter of, ‘There’s four stores, pick one,’” says Sobeys

Shop dropped: Jen Arbo does the bulk of her shopping at Thrifty Foods in Sapperton. She is disappointed that the store is slated to close after the Competition Bureau has ordered Sobeys to sell off 23 stores before it will approve Sobeys’ plans to purchase Safeway Canada for $5.8 billion. “Whoever purchases it, it will spokesperson Andrew Walker. “(The competition bureau) look(s) become their store and they will at the markets in great detail, and operate it as a grocery store,” he they do an incredible amount of says.

Quality Foods, another Island grocery chain, would come in and take over the Thrifty’s location. “I’d love to see someone like (Quality Foods) decide to do what Thrifty’s did and branch out onto the Lower Mainland,” says Arbo, who previously managed the Royal City Farmers’ Market. While she acknowledges that the chances of this happening are low, Arbo says she holds out a little hope because she never expected a Thrifty’s to open in her neighbourhood. When you do the process of elimination, there aren’t many options left, she says. “Thrifty’s actually was the perfect fit,” Arbo says, sighing. –Twitter/nikimhope

City to strike a hazardous materials team The City of New Westminster is planning to strike a hazardous materials team to address the potential for “catastrophic” incidents in the city. Firefighters in Alberta responded on the weekend after train cars carrying oil and gas derailed, creating a situation that was so volatile that they backed off and let the fire burn out. It’s the latest in a series of rail incidents that has prompted

New Westminster Fire Chief Tim Armstrong to recommend that the city consider the formation of a hazardous materials response team for New Westminster. Armstrong’s report – Quayside Drive: Transportation of Dangerous Goods – states that New Westminster doesn’t have the capability to respond to a large incident and needs assistance from outside municipalities

or agencies. According to the report, fire department staff is currently trained to an operations level, where they are able to recognize potential hazardous materials incidents, isolate and deny entry to other responders and the public, evacuate people in danger and take defensive actions such as shutting off valves and protection drains – without having any

OUR VIEW

up for the meeting and the resolutions for firing Gavin Palmer, Alan Wardle and Gloria Munro were voted on and passed. That leaves Hyack without an executive and without an executive director. Also, Hyack has agreed to settle with former executive director Douglas Smith. The settlement is, so far, a secret. But it’s fair to assume it’s a good chunk of change. It would be next to impossible for the organization to regroup and manage to pull together to put on the annual

Santa Claus parade and, we think, even function for next year’s events. But there’s a lot more at stake than festivals. The society has a significant chunk of land its office sits on, and, despite funds being drained for lawyers and settlements, a substantial amount of money. The irony of all of this debacle is that the forces who believed there was a plot afoot for the city to take over Hyack in the first place have now, by their very own actions, made that a necessity.

A nation in search of common sense IN MY OPINION

MATTHEW CLAXTON

think the Americans will soon be coming around to their neighbours, asking if they can borrow a cup of common sense. As I write this, the American government is being coaxed back into life like a rusted-out 1974 Buick, one that will only keep going if you press down on the gas just so, and get your buddies to give it a push start. And off it goes in a cloud of blue smoke to its next inevitable breakdown. Judging by the timelines on the debt ceiling that were being tossed around last Wednesday, that should be around February. We should not be too smug about this state of affairs. Our own government has nearly come unglued several times in our history, as during the King-Byng affair, and a book about our various constitutional crises and attempted secession attempts would be thick enough to use as a cudgel. We should remember that the problem with the American government isn’t Americans. Sure, they have a lot of idiots down there, but no more than any other country. Their problems are structural.

The worst problem the Americans have is the debt ceiling, which is entirely stupid and self-imposed. Like the ability to shut down the bureaucracy, this is a selfdestruct system that American politicians in days gone by deliberately installed. And like big red buttons everywhere, their leaders can barely stop themselves from jamming it down just to see what happens. Secondly, there’s the ability to shut down the government. The United States is probably not the only country in which lawmakers have to approve wages or they just flat-out don’t get paid, but I’m not aware of any others. This means that any time lawmakers get testy (because the president, Senate, or House of Representatives can all trigger a shutdown) they can take their ball and go home. I have read some of the reasons why the Americans set up their government this way, and it seems to have been due to a series of kludges, one fix piled on another, in a way that created a worse problem than they had to begin with. Compare this to Belgium, which in 2010 and 2011 went 549 days without a government. Their parliamentary elections produced a weird setup in which a separatist party won more seats than anyone else, and linguistic and regional differences were tearing the country apart. (Canadians are among the only

Rebuilding of E.L. Lewis Block should respect city’s heritage Dear Editor:

A recent trip to Belgium to see the grave of my great-uncle who died in World War I took us through Ypres. The quaint town looked nothing like I expected after hearing stories of the destruction that had befallen it in the war. Churches, buildings, bridges all looked like they had been there for centuries. We soon found out that Ypres had been reduced to rubble but was rebuilt as it had been (even though Winston Churchill wanted it to remain a ruin to remind people of the tragedy of war). New Westminster is reeling from the loss of Copp’s Shoes and the E.L. Lewis Block. What’s left of this lovely heritage building isn’t ◗America Page 7

unlike pictures we saw of how Ypres looked like after the Great War ended. Elected officials and city staff have called this corner the heart and soul of Columbia Street and have commiserated over its loss. Let’s ensure these weren’t crocodile tears being shed and demand that developers, when they feel the suitable period of mourning is over, don’t come forward with plans to replace it with a new 30-storey condo tower. A new building that respects the past and replicates the E.L. Lewis Block would go a long way in healing some of the wounds opened by the loss of this important historic structure. And the merchants who lost their livelihoods in the fire deserve first crack at re-establishing their businesses once the block is rebuilt. Jim Hutson, New Westminster

◗ IN THEIR OWN WORDS The following is the full press release issued by The Hyack Festival Association on October 23. HYACK FESTIVAL ASSOCIATION APPOINTS FOUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS TO CHART A NEW, POSITIVE COURSE (New Westminster, BC) As a result of the sudden resignation of five board members Tuesday, Oct. 22, the Hyack board of directors met to chart a positive course for New Westminster’s festival organization and to cancel the special general meeting (SGM). With quorum established, the emergency board meeting called by president Gavin Palmer, prior to the scheduled SGM, focused on moving the organization forward. “With the sudden resignation of five board members, we acted to put Hyack back on a secure, positive footing,” stated Palmer. The board unanimously accepted the resignations of Ron Unger, Stephen Loyd, Bill Radbourne, Patti Goss and Mariane Kazemir. It then rescinded both the president’s notice to have those directors removed from office and the board’s notice to have the executives removed from office. Then the board voted to cancel the SGM. Upon approval, emails were immediately sent out to Hyack members and phone calls made. By building a new and vibrant board, Hyack will continue to be a positive force in New Westminster by maintaining our historical traditions in the ever changing festivals, parades and events Hyack is known for. To fill vacancies and to bolster the expertise on the board Peter Goodwin, lawyer; Ken McIntosh, retired New Westminster police officer and Col. Glen Richmond, currently employed by the Vancouver Police Department and the Department of National Defense were appointed. Rounding up

the appointees is philanthropist, business woman and 2003 New Westminster Citizen of the Year, Gerda Suess. “For the foreseeable future we have substantial business that needs to be done quickly and efficiently. We are enthused to have these reputable citizens join our board. The myriad of talent and expertise they bring as well as the beneficial contributions they have made to our city speaks volumes. All of them, will be great assets for Hyack,” states Palmer. Hitting the ground running, the new board wasted no time in establishing several committees, including a financial advisory committee to assure the continuation of its 42 years success record. As these committees deal with the internal workings of Hyack, the board also recognizes its obligation to organize events for the benefit of the city and our community. The next important New Westminster event is the traditional Hyack Santa Claus Parade of Lights. Towards this end, Hyack’s parade committee will work with Key West Ford to ensure Santa’s arrival delights and entertains the children of all ages in New Westminster. “We are now moving forward in a unified way and will continue to proudly represent our city, as we have done for the last 42 years. Building on past traditions Hyack embraces change as it moves toward an exciting future. We will accomplish our objectives while maintaining the respect we have garnered locally, regionally and internationally,” affirms president Palmer. The Hyack Festival Association would like to extend its deepest thanks and gratitude to all our members, sponsors, politicians and citizens who have supported the organization in the past and during these challenging times. Together we will continue our work to create a bright and positive respectful future for all. For further information please contact Gavin Palmer, president, Hyack Festival Association

people on the planet who can both sympathize and understand.) Yet the country’s bureaucracy continued to function. Obviously, it wasn’t ideal, but it wasn’t catastrophic, either. The Americans’ final problem is one we’re more familiar with – gerry mandering. We’ve mostly gotten away from it by appointing independent committees of retired judges to draw our electoral boundaries. In the U.S., the lawmakers draw them, with blatant parti-

san interest. This means they have created a vast number of safe Democrat or Republican seats, which means that the real choice is not between two parties, but between the sane wing and crazy wing of each party. A lot of congressional districts have been picking the crazy option for some time, increasing distrust, polarization, and extremism, especially on the Republican side of the aisle. There’s a lot to fix, and we’d better hope they can repair at least some of these problems. If they

can’t, then eventually someone will push that big red button, and that will do bad things to the world’s economy. Not just recession bad, but potentially Mad Max, wearing hockey padding as armour, eating dog food, and scouring the wasteland for gasoline bad. I’d like to think the Americans won’t let that happen, but that big red button is looking pretty shiny … Matthew Claxton is a reporter with the Langley Advance, a sister paper of The Record.

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.

POET STILL HAUNTED BY AIR INDIA TRAGEDY WHICH CLAIMED HER RELATIVES AND 327 OTHERS

Children’s voices demanded book on bombing BY DON HAUKA REPORTER

editorial@royalcityrecord.com

enee Sarojini Saklikar was buried deep in the archives when she started hearing the children’s voices. And although she hadn’t intended to write poetry about Canada’s deadliest act of terrorism, the voices demanded it. The result is children of air india: un/authorized exhibits and interjections, the first book of poetry about the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182. “It’s very hard to talk about, but if you believe in ghosts and the soul, then you’ll understand that voices did rise up and speak to me, particularly the children,” said Saklikar. “I didn’t start out to write about this tragedy in a poetic way. These voices claimed me.” Sakilkar’s aunt and uncle were among the 329 people who perished on June 23, 1985, when a bomb placed aboard the airliner exploded above the Irish Sea. There were also 82 children who perished. Saklikar is still haunted by the sunny June in 1985 when her aunt and uncle made their one and only visit to B.C. “My aunt was my mom’s youngest sister. She was very passionate about women’s health. She was an expert markswoman and very warm,” she said. In some ways, Saklikar began writing her book the moment she and her family got the news of the bombing. But it didn’t start taking shape until 2009 while she was at the Writer’s Studio at SFU. She began delving into the archives, intending to write a personal memoir. But as she plowed through the pages and pages of court documents, transcripts and letters, she started to hear the words leaping off the page. “A certain phrase or page would speak to me,” she said. “This book is about language, whether it works or doesn’t work.” Over the next three-plus years, Saklikar worked as the poems took shape. She has produced deeply personal poetry that explores personal loss set against public trauma. Published by Nightwood Editions

Haunted: Poet Renee Sarojini Saklikar with her book, children of air india: un/authorized exhibits and interjections. Saklikar’s book recalls the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182, in which Saklikar lost an aunt and uncle. and distributed and marketed by Harbour Publishing, the book is described as a “docu-poetic collection.” Saklikar also writes thecanadaproject, a lifelong poetry project that chronicles her life from her birth in India, her childhood growing up across Canada and her current

career on the West Coast. Daughter of the late Rev. Vasant Saklikar (longtime minister of the Sixth Avenue United Church and school trustee who died in 2002), she is married to B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix. What is her hope for the book?

“One hope I have is people will think about the question of violence and how it touches us when we don’t want to be touched by it,” Saklikar said. “With so much pain and suffering, violence demands something of us. I hope the reader will contemplate on that.”

Putting a modern twist on old time swag lights It could soon begin to look a lot like Christmas – or Diwali or Canada Day – on Columbia Street. After several attempts at dealing with a staff report about proposed swag lighting on Columbia Street, council finally made a decision about new lighting that will

adorn Columbia Street. “It’s an important part of the city,” said Coun. Bill Harper. “I think people in the city will appreciate it.” Staff presented council with several options, including an exact replica of the lighting that draped across the street in past

decades and a modern interpretation. Council approved an option featuring a crown motif in the centre that can be changed out seasonally with other motifs like a snowflake. During the heyday of the Golden Mile, swag lighting with a crown motif decorated Columbia

Street. “We are going to start this year with a modern version of that,” Harper said. While there are “some detractors” on the issue of swag lighting, Harper believes special lighting is a really important way of enhancing the downtown environment.

Although he’s a “heritage guy,” Coun. Jaimie McEvoy said he preferred lighting that could be adapted to reflect the city’s increasingly multicultural community. The city has $30,000 in this year’s budget for the project. – By Theresa McManus

Seaforth Highlander who took part in the invasion of Sicily and Italy in July of 1943. In October 1943, he was captured by the Germans and spent 18 months in eight Nazi prisoner-of-war camps, escaping with six others in April 1945. He recorded his handwritten recollections in the years after the war and wanted to leave a record for his family, and so he met with Cadwaladr – a writer and publisher – in 2004. She transcribed and edited the notes and worked with Reid to develop his story. He agreed to turn the work into a book that was released when he was 84 years old. Cadwaladr’s presentation will include a video recording of Reid describing his wartime experiences. It’s free, but registration is required.

Kids on the GO …

A Local Guide for Preschools, Childcare, Activities, Lessons, Education and more!

Halloween Safety Tips

• Go in groups. Children can be accompanied by their parents while older children should be encouraged to trick-or-treat in groups. • Use a flashlight. When trick-ortreating at night, take steps to improve visibility. • Walk on sidewalks. Avoid walking in the street, where the risk of being hit by a car is considerable. • Avoid distractions. Trick-or-treaters should not be wearing earbuds or talking on a phone while trick-ortreating.

HKIN LA

MERSEYSIDE MONTESSORI

UN C

• Do not enter homes. If an adult or even a youngster whom a child does not know offers entry to the home, the trick-ortreater should not enter. • Consume only factorywrapped treats. * Wear well-fitting shoes. Shoes that are uncomfortable or loose can cause children to fall and risk injury. • Adults should drive carefully. Drive slowly and pay attention to the roads.

Poets wanted

Poets Wanted: Dead or Alive. That’s the theme of the next Poetic Justice gathering, this Sunday at the Heritage Grill. The poetry reading, hosted by Deborah Kelly and Janet Kvammen, features an extended open mike session, and everyone is invited to bring along their own dark, eerie, spooky poetry – or read from the work of a “dead poet” of your choice. A costume contest is also happening. See www.rclas. com for more.

For the record The article, Company takes on overseas programs, published in The Record on Oct. 2, stated that the school district’s business company’s program in Korea was not transferred to a third-party operator. The business company was only a program consultant in Korea and its partners in Korea will continue to operate the program and the school. The article also said changes to Ministry of Education policy forced the company to “close,” when, according to business company CEO Brent Atkinson, it has had to “shut down” operations.

On the prowl for the paranormal BY JANAYA FULLER-EVANS REPORTER jfuller-evans@royalcityrecord.com

Wandering through graveyards at night isn’t for everyone, but for Calvin Price and Amanda Haupt, it has become a passion. The two started the Coldspotters Vancouver Paranormal group on Meetup. com about a year ago, but their interest in ghosts started much earlier, they say. Haupt, who is a New Westminster resident, says she was “absolutely fascinated” by the paranormal at a young age, and she began experiencing it on a personal level when she was 16 and living in a group home in East Vancouver. “We had doors slamming, we had lights that would go on and off, we would have kitchen cupboards slamming open, condiments coming out of the fridge and just being splattered everywhere,” she says. “We had actually a lot of activity.” While the staff advised the residents not to talk about ghosts, Haupt says, there was one adult who believed – a former resident who visited the home. She asked for a tour of the place and at the end, she turned to Haupt and said, “He’s here to protect you – and you know who I’m talking about.” For Price, getting adults to believe him was not a problem

– he grew up in a family that had frequent séances and used Ouija boards. “I got introduced to it by virtue of the fact that most of the members of my family on my mom’s side all had abilities,” he says. Because of that, he says he was never really afraid of ghosts, even when he had his own encounter. “When I was seven years old, I had an encounter or visitation or whatever you want to call it, with what is called a shadow man,” he says. “A shadow man – I think it’s just called that because you don’t know if it’s a ghost or … it’s very unclear what it is. It literally is a shadow that has sort of, the three dimensions to it, as if a shadow lifted off the wall and started walking towards you.” Price and Haupt took The Record for a tour through Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver, which the group has visited twice. One of the most active spots, they say, is the grave of Col. Laurence William Herchmer, where they have felt cold spots and also recorded audio. Ghost hunting can often seem about as exciting as “watching paint dry,” Price says, because it is very quiet and things can happen slowly. But even when it seems quiet, there can be things happening that the group is not aware of,

A Call to Nurse celebrates hospital history OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

ast year there was tremendous interest in the history of the Royal Columbian Hospital as it celebrated its 150th anniversary. The story was presented throughout the year from its 1862 start at Fourth Street at Agnes in New Westminster, to its move to the Sapperton neighbourhood in 1889,

which was then followed by decades of evolution, expansion and innovation. One of the most vital components, discussed frequently in articles, presentations, tours and blogs of the hospital story, was nurses. Who were they? How did they do their job back then? What were their working conditions like? How did they learn about nursing? The Royal Columbian Hospital School of Nursing was co-located with the Royal Columbian Hospital on East Columbia Street in Sapperton. There were nurses at the hospital long before the school

wanted to make our own documentary and everything. So Amanda is videotaping me and I’m calling out team names,” he says. “And Amanda, she calls over to Erin and she says, ‘Wow, you’ve got a big team’ and she says ‘I know,’ and then you hear this voice say, ‘and me.’” Price played the recording for The Record, and at the end, there was a distinct, though low, voice saying, “and me.” Price and Haupt started the group in June 2012 after joining another local group that was no longer active. The group has visited local cemeteries and other reputed haunted spots throughout the Lower Mainland and travelled to

Victoria. They also do private investigations. Earlier this month, the group went to the Kent Cemetery in Agassiz, where they had some spooky experiences last year, Price says. The group also attends movies together and has plans to go to Halloween events such as Fright Nights. They have monthly luncheons, often in New Westminster, as well as monthly Tarot nights where they learn about Tarot cards and do readings.

opened, but over its 77year history, it graduated thousands of dedicated and skilled nurses into the world of medical/ hospital/patient care. Now, a group of people who are proud to have come through this system, has produced a book that tells their story and adds significantly to the overall history of RCH. The book’s short title is A Call To Nurse, and it is a collaborative effort of the Royal Columbian Hospital School of Nursing alumnae book committee. The book’s full title gives a very clear idea of what you will find in it:

A Call to Nurse: Memories of Life On and Off Duty in a Hospital Training School, 1901-1978. Its 274 pages are filled with stories, anecdotes, reminiscences, photographs, many illustrations, copies of items from the nursing archives, and a lot more. The book is written decade by decade with many other relevant sections. Many people familiar with Sapperton and the hospital site will remember the old nurse’s residence kitty-corner from Knox Church, a building named for an early beloved instructor,

Lillian McAllister. They will also remember seeing the student nurses in their uniforms on the street, perhaps going to and from the hospital itself. Watching over many years you would have noted the changes in those uniforms – often a topic of conversation between grads. You’ll want a copy of this book if you or anyone in your family has ever been a nurse or if you’re interested in health care or the history of New Westminster. You will enjoy the candid memories of young women growing up away from home, struggling

with the challenges of learning and working harder than they had ever dreamed possible and loving every minute of it. The books are for sale now at a cost of $45 and are available at the RCH gift shop and other locations. To find out more, contact acalltonurse@shaw. ca or view more information at www.fraserhealth. ca/acalltonurse. The book launch will be on Sunday, Oct. 27, from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at the Sherbrooke Lounge, Sherbrooke building at Royal Columbian Hospital. There will be signs marking the way.

A banner match: Burnaby Central defender Duncan Penman, in red, ﬁghts off an attack by Cariboo Hill’s Alberto Pincelli in a 2-1 Central win in the BNW district senior boys’ soccer ﬁnal on Wednesday.

Central nips Chargers for banner BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

A late first-half goal by Alex Chima stood up as the game-winner as the Burnaby Central Wildcats defeated the Cariboo Hill Chargers 2-1 in the BNW high school soccer final Wednesday. Chima’s harmless-looking shot from outside the 18-yard-box deflected on its way to the goal and beat Cariboo keeper Mankirat Grewal to the near post. The win gave Central the district banner and some redemption for past indiscretions that led to a suspension from the provincials a year ago. “It means a lot more for the team to come back from being suspended and coming back this way is awesome,” said Central defender Duncan Penman. “It’s hard to come back after that. It’s nice to have a second chance.” That second chance will come on Tuesday, Nov. 5, when Central takes on the winner of the North Shore league in a AAA zone showdown.
