Helping the healers Honour House wants more people to know they are here to help families of wounded soldiers and ﬁrst responders BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

During hard times, Honour House is a home away from home for soldiers, first responders and their families. It’s been nearly three years since the Honour House Society opened the doors to Honour House in New Westminster. Located on St. George Street, volunteers transformed the house into a comfortable place for families of Canadian Forces personnel, firefighters, paramedics and police officers, while their loved ones are receiving care in the Lower Mainland. “We’re still providing homes to veterans, members of the military and emergency services members,” said Craig Longstaff, general manager of Honour House. The need for a place like Honour House – the only one of its kind in Canada – continues to exist and will continue on for years to come, Longstaff added. “We were full to capacity a few weeks ago. We literally had to turn people away. It’s kind of up and down,” he said. When the house, which has a maximum capacity of 20 people, is full, Longstaff arranges alternative accommodations for

FIRE AFTERMATH: ONE MONTH LATER, BUSINESSES ARE UP AND RUNNING

Fundraisers line up for fire victims BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A month after fire gutted two of the most prominent heritage buildings on Columbia Street, the community continues to rally around downtown businesses. The E.L. Lewis Block and the Hamley Block were destroyed in an Oct. 10 fire in downtown New Westminster. In addition to 23 businesses located in the two buildings destroyed by the fire, an additional 25 were impacted by issues such as smoke and soot damage. “A month later, everyone who was impacted but still standing has now reopened. That is great news,” said Kendra Johnston, executive director of the Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Area. “Several others whose businesses were lost have relocated within New West.” Johnston said business owners have been moving at their own pace, and most are now in a position to start making decisions again. “It can be very overwhelming,” she said. “Even if you are prepared in terms of insurance and backing up your files off site and those things, you are not prepared emotionally for something like this and having to make some of the decisions you need to make. Some of those businesses haven’t made decisions yet about whether they will be reopening. All in their own time. We are just trying to support them in whatever stage they are at.” Royal City residents and businesses continue to show their support for businesses devastated by the fire. “Both the chamber and the BIA still have lists – huge lists – of people who have offered help and resources in all kinds of ways, that we are still putting out there for people” Johnston said. “There’s a ton of fundraisers coming up. I believe the Columbia Theatre is planning on putting on a big fundraiser.” Johnston said it’s anticipated that a number of fundraisers will be taking place in the next few months. “I know the chamber has formed a committee to receive those funds and figure out criteria for dispersing funds,” she said. “There’s still lots in the works.” The New Westminster Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Westminster Savings to set up a

May Day consultation postponed BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

May Day is taking a backseat to more pressing matters – including budget woes and a bid to develop a long-term directions plan – for the New Westminster school district. The board of education voted unanimously Tuesday night to postpone a consultation process with the public on ways to improve the long-standing community event in the future. “Our budget issues supercede everything,” said trustee Lisa Graham, a lifelong New Westminsterite and self-proclaimed May Day fan, who first brought the idea to consult with the public to the board table last year. “For over a decade we’ve been either in deficit or in deficit-recovery mode, and I think we need to be focusing on a strategic plan.” It was trustee James Janzen’s suggestion that the board hold off until it dealt with the larger issues, noting that any changes wouldn’t impact this year’s May Day anyway. “We are not contemplating making any significant changes to May Day

for 2013/14,” he said. “I don’t think it’s a high priority.” May Day is an annual event where local school children celebrate the spring season. It has been going on in the Royal City for more than 140 years – one of the longest running in the Commonwealth. The event is “enshrined” in school district policy, superintendent John Woudzia told the board at its committee meeting. The issue of May Day came to the forefront in 2012, when teachers at Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary sent a letter to the board saying teaching May Day dances is taking up too much learning time for students who aren’t directly involved in the annual community event. Teachers with multi-grade classrooms have a difficult time keeping all of their students engaged while teaching the dances to the students who actually need to learn it, the letter said. To prepare for May Day, teachers in New Westminster are expected to show Grade 3 students folk dances and Grade 4 students a ribbon may-

pole dance. At around the same time, there were also rumblings that some teachers at Lord Kelvin Elementary considered May Day a low priority for the parent advisory council spending. May Day is a partnership between the district and the city and a handful of other civic groups. The district oversees the majority of the daytime events, while the city manages the evening activities, according to Woudzia. The May Queen and her suites as well as the Royal Knights are made up of students from the district’s nine elementary schools. The rain for the past several years – there has been one dry May Day out of five – has also put a damper on the festivities, with some older students wanting to stay home “sick” and out of the rain. The plan is for the district to revisit the consultation next year, though the board did pass a recommendation that the May Day committee attempt to identify financial efficiencies, where possible, with respect to this year’s May Day.

OPEN HOUSE

Saturday November 9th • 2-4 pm

Energy: City eyes possible wood chip, sewage options ◗ continued from page 1

– incinerators – being controversial, a communications plan is a major part of the plan unveiled by the city on Monday. “It’s not waste to energy,” Allison stressed. “Waste to energy is taking garbage, the stuff that can’t be recycled, reduced or reused and incinerating it.” The communications plan includes a public open house to inform and build awareness in the community, briefings to city committees, media releases and public opinion pieces, and

a followup open house in early 2014, at which time the city hopes to have identified a preferred option. Norm Connolly, the city’s community energy manager, said district energy system would help move the city closer to its greenhouse gas reduction targets. “It is a significant reduction,” he said of the reductions that could be generated by the system. With Fraser Health needing a heating plant for Royal Columbian Hospital, he said the city might have an opportunity to integrate

a district energy system into those plans. “It is a promising site,” he said of the location near the hospital. “It will be for sewage-heat recovery only.” Rod Carle, general manager of the city’s electrical utility, said the city is only interested in pursuing district energy if it can get an “anchor tenant” for the system. “For us, timing is everything,” he said. “We want council to be aware if we don’t have an anchor tenant, the utility isn’t interested in moving it forward.”

If the city doesn’t reach an agreement with the hospital, Allison said the city wouldn’t proceed with district energy until it has a secured customer. Allison said a wood-chip combustion system would only be considered in the Braid industrial area if there is a “negligible” impact on the community. He said a detailed airquality analysis would be part of the next steps taken by the city. For an extended version of this story, see www.royalcity record.com.

IN MY OPINION

Saving the planet starts with one simple step: energy efficiency Dear Editor:

The cost of exporting oil, gas and coal is exorbitant, in taxpayer and shareholder dollars. Pipelines, rail, tankers, refineries, ports, on both sides of the Pacific – fossil fuels to build and operate such systems are incalculable. They would use up every diminishing resource that our kids will need – including ecosystems. Every country has renewable energy sources and the capacity to raise the productivity of the energy we use. Energy expert Dr. Amory Lovins has good news: “Climate solutions are profitable, not costly, as saving fuel costs less than buying fuel. … Raising global energy productivity by just two per cent a

year … would stabilize carbon emissions; raising it by three per cent would stabilize climate. Energy efficiency, the main tool for profitable climate protection, could actually do the whole job if pursued to its modern potential.” His study, Small is Profitable, has found 207 ways in which decentralized renewable energy is more profitable than centralized energy systems. Improved efficiency, diversification and profitability are win-win for corporations and the public everywhere. Our scarce resources include human energy and time. If we waste them on business as usual, we won’t have them for the climate solutions. We can profit today by protecting our children’s future. Hildegard Bechler, New Westminster

Crisis management is akin to patching a roof that needs replacing; if all you ever do is patch the holes in it, eventually the roof will come down on your head. Concern was raised over the expense of reengaging a consultant previously contracted by the district but nothing was said of the thousands (millions?) of dollars wasted as a result of not having a strategic plan. Does that sound harsh? Some will say that those dollars were used to ensure that students had adequate supports or supplies in the classroom, but that is a red herring. Students may have plentiful supplies and supports in Year 1, but by Year 2, when you have to pay back the money, those same students will have to make do with less. This has happened in New Westminster where our students and staff now have 10 per cent of

the money to purchase supplies compared to last year, and we have seen a support staff reduction of eight per cent. It is difficult to argue that public education needs more money, but it is even more difficult to argue the value of the expense of $900 to prevent another crisis such as what we have seen in New Westminster school district – eight deficits in 14 years. In Ontario, multi-year strategic plans are required under the laws in the Provincial Education Act. In British Columbia, the majority of school districts do have a strategic plan. New Westminster school district fares poorly for stability by comparison. It is well past the time that New Westminster school district implements our own strategic plan and brings about an era of stability. Sadly, we just missed a significant opportunity to move forward towards completion of our strategic plan at Tuesday night’s

board meeting when the board voted against the proposal that would have provided certainty to engage a consultant and bring a strategic plan to completion. Think about this, the past board of education from 2008 to 2011 first raised the issue of a strategic plan, and the current board of education has spent the better part of two years developing the first two phases of this plan. Opportunity for input has been significant and yet, we are still waiting for the final phase to be completed so that we can put our strategic plan into action. When you argue that you haven’t had a strategic plan for decades and that things have been moving along tickety-boo in spite of this, you ignore the reality that we have structural flaws that need more than just a patch job.

Honour House: Home depends on donations and fundraising poster campaign in hopes of spreading the word about Honour House throughout the military and first responders community. “One of our big drives right now is to bring awareness to the country,” he said. The society is sending out thousands of posters to police stations, fire stations, Legions and military bases to garner more attention for the house and how it helps this specific community. “One of the hardest things is getting people to know that we’re actually here so that they can use us when they need us,” Longstaff added. Currently, all paramedics in British Columbia are members of Honour House Society, and each year $20 from all paramedics’ paycheques is donated directly to the society. Longstaff would like to see this type

on donations and fundraising efforts to run the house. On the weekend, Afghanistan veteran Adam Coleman, who owns two Mobil 1 Lube Express franchises in Langley, held a fundraiser for Honour House Society. Coleman donated an entire day’s profits from both locations to Honour House and pledged to donate $2 from every oil change for the rest of the month, Longstaff said. “Half the battle is fundraising, and the other half is getting people to know that we exist. I always say that, potentially, there could be a firefighter or a member of the military sitting in a hospital in Vancouver right now and putting his family up in a hotel just because he doesn’t know that we’re here,” he said. Longstaff and the board of directors have set up a

of program exist for all first responders and military personnel, not only because it helps bring in donations, but because it raises awareness for the house. “You’ll find that a lot of paramedics do know about us because of their membership,” he said. “We’d love to that (for everyone).” For more information on Honour House the society and becoming a member, visit www.honourhouse.ca.

Winter is beautiful... unless you’re driving in it

MARINE WAY & BYRNE RD., BURNABY and GRANDVIEW HWY & RUPERT,VANCOUVER Who Needs Winter Tires?

FROM $18.99

If you regularly encounter ice, unplowed snow, or slush—or if you drive in temperatures that regularly dip below 7°C/45°F—you can benefit from winter tires, also known as “snow tires”. Regular all season tires lose elasticity when the temperature dips below 7°C/45°F. Winter tires are constructed with a special compound that allows them to retain more elasticity in cold temperatures. Technologically engineered tread designs prevent snow build-up and improve ice and snow traction more than ever before—so you get a better grip on the road and better control of your vehicle. Winter tires provide better control for all vehicles—even 4WD vehicles—on snow and ice-covered roads. Whether you drive a car, SUV, pick-up or light truck, you’ll find four winter tires help you get a better grip on the road in difficult driving conditions. Without winter tires you are more likely to fishtail on corners and spin out on that icy hill.

Building his own comic book empire After his favourite comic book shop closed down, Steve Kwasowsky found a solution and started his own BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

In a way, Steve Kwasowsky is the hero of his own life. When a longtime favourite comic book shop closed down, Kwasowsky rose from the ashes and built up his own empire – and BAM, Steve’s Comics was born. Kwasowsky used to frequent a comic book shop on 12th Street in the city’s West End, but when it closed after the owner passed away, Kwasowsky struggled to find a replacement shop. But he couldn’t. So he decided to try his hand at the comic business. The 38-year-old Sapperton resident eyed a spot on East Columbia Street, near the 7-Eleven store. “There was a retail spot just down the road from me. Literally three minutes from my back door,” he says. Eventually, he decided to scoop it up. Today, Kwasowsky runs the store with his mom, Sally Hawkins. He continues to work his day job for ABC Recycling but says business is holding steady. He opened a year ago and has become a stop for those who love to buy – and talk about – comics. Spiderman has always been Kwasowsky’s favourite character ever since he was a kid. He started collecting comics when he was about 12. “I met a friend and he already had a box of comics, and then it just took off,” recalls Kwasowsky, who grew up in Ottawa. While he seems to fit the classic mould of a comic book fan, Kwasowsky says it isn’t just males who read them. “You have no idea, everyone. It’s such a huge genre. There’re so many different fields. I mean it’s not just the superheroes.

To visit Steve’s Comics on Facebook scan with Layar Jason Lang/THE RECORD

Comic-book hero: Steve Kwasowsky opened a comic-book shop, Steve’s Comics, in Sapperton last year after his favourite shop on 12th Street closed down when the owner passed away. There’s drama, or there’s crime, or there’s supernatural, or there’s sci-fi, or there’s horror,” he says. The Superior Spider-Man is one of the store’s most-popular comics. The story chronicles the saga of Peter Parker. He is killed off by longtime nemesis Otto Octavius, who takes over Peter Parker’s body. But Kwasowsky predicts the real

Parker will return. “He’s too iconic,” Kwasowsky says. As for the comic business, Kwasowsky says his bread-and-butter is mail-order subscriptions – where Kwasowsky orders the titles and puts them aside for customers to pick up. As for whether the comic book industry will be defeated – as so much of print

already has – by the Internet, Kwasowsky doesn’t see technology taking too big a bite out of the business. “You don’t collect digital downloads,” he says. “You collect comics. A lot of collectors, they’re so tactile. They want to hold it.” For more, see www.facebook.com and search for Steve’s Comics.

University Women’s Club celebrates AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

he University Women’s Club of New Westminster recently held a special centennial celebration. Founded in 1913, the group’s Oct. 20 gathering at the public library celebrated its 100th anniversary. The local group is one of the oldest affiliate clubs in the Canadian Federation of University Women, which was established in 1919 and has nearly 9,000 members across Canada. Guests and well-wishers at the centennial celebration included: Jeanette Mergens, president of the B.C. Council of the Canadian Federation of University Women; Linda Russell, regional director for B.C. West; Susan Murphy, the organization’s national president; former New Westminster MLA Anita Hagen; Barbara Hall, president of the B.C. Council of Women; Gail Cooper, chair of the New Westminster library board; Debra Nelson, community services librarian at the New Westminster Public Library; and Tracy Green of the Douglas College Foundation. Greetings from Mayor Wayne Wright, New Westminster-Coquitlam MP Fin Donnelly and Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian were also read aloud.

Murphy presented the group with a copy of Linda Kay’s book, The Sweet Sixteen: The Journey that Inspired the Canadian Women’s Press Club. The University Women’s Club is presenting the book to the New Westminster Public Library to show its gratitude for its long association with the library. Once the celebration’s formalities finished, the Hycroft Singers from the University Women’s Club of Vancouver serenaded guests, and members of the University Women’s Club of Coquitlam served tea and cake provided by the local group. In addition to continuing to promote education, rights and opportunities for women, the University Women’s Club of New Westminster supports women in post-secondary education through its endowment funds at Douglas College and the University of British Columbia.

The society’s B.C. and Yukon division is looking for leadership volunteers to help with the campaign that’s held every April. There’s a particular need for a “street team leader” for New Westminster. “It is a wonderful organization, and the New West team is amazing,” New Westminster resident and society volunteer Heidi Clarkson said in a press release. The street team program consists of teams of volunteers promoting pins and cut daffodils in pre-assigned locations, including malls and street corners. The program complements the pin distribution program, a retail effort designed to increase the impact of the daffodil campaign. According to Clarkson, the campaign is primarily a fundraising program, but it also raises awareness of the society’s support programs. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Huda Al-Saedy at the Canadian Cancer Society at 604-215-5203. Got something to share? Send Around Town ideas to Theresa, tmcmanus@royalcity record.com, or find her on Twitter, @TheresaMcManus.

THE NEW WESTMINSTER CHAMBER IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CARTWRIGHT JEWELERS PRESENTS

CANADA’S PREMIERE ONLINE GUIDE TO THE GOOD LIFE

The Cavalier Kind

May Globus

After being buzzed into the jewellery shop in the historic Dominion Building, it’s clear that Cavalier is in a league of its own. Not only is the space beautiful with its tall ceilings, brick and wood, Cavalier is also community-minded, exclusively carrying pieces from local independent designers. Whether more contemporary or traditional in look, high quality materials, precious gemstones and good design makes each work sold here timeless. Classic German-made NIRVEL wristwatches (from $500) run on Swiss mechanics, while the Contoli watches (from $750) are handcrafted just up the street. The ZULA Jewlery + Design leaf print medium necklace ($110) is for those with a penchant for the delicate and feminine, much in contrast to the bronze rock and roll signet-style LACAR skull ring ($146).

The team also works with clients to create customized pieces and has with an in-house goldsmith on hand. There’s something for everyone here — the problem is, we want it all. Cavalier, 217 - 207 W. Hastings., 1-800-808-4367, www.cavaliergastown.com

The New Family Heirlooms

May Globus

New in The Chinatown Experiment’s pop-up space, Izm’s moniker represents a movement focused on existence, essential nature and how one should live, a philosophy that seems inherently West Coast. Clean lines constructed from solid wood are the design foundation and, despite a contemporary minimalist aesthetic, there’s still a delightfully rustic air about the high-end handcrafted pieces, each meant to age and to be passed on between generations. What we wouldn’t give to have the Visualizm cabinet (from $4,650) and Eyeful coffee table ($2,950) accenting our living rooms — that, or the quirky air plant terrariums (from $50) by Gastown !orist Green Stems. By the looks of it, beautiful furniture is new family heirloom. Izm, 434 Columbia St., Vancouver, www.izm.ca

Battleﬁeld poem lives on

he famous lines by Lt-Col. John McCrae, scrawled during the Battle of Ypres, have become enshrined in the innermost thoughts and hearts of all soldiers who hear them. John McCrae was their voice. The poem circulated as a folk song, by word of mouth and all who hear it are deeply touched. The poem speaks of Flanders fields,

but the subject is universal – the fear of the dead that they will be forgotten, that their death will have been in vain. Remembrance, as symbolized by the poppy, is our eternal answer which belies that fear. Sadly, McCrae died of pneumonia at Wimereux near Boulogne, France on January 28, 1918 when he was 44 years old. His words, however, are immortal.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie

The Poppy is a symbol of wartime remembrance

he poppy has stood as the official symbol of Canada’s Remembrance Day since 1921, a visual reminder of all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for war. Some may wonder why this small flower is used to represent the fallen soldier. Poppies and fallen soldiers have a long history together. The origins of the flower can be traced back to the Napoleonic wars in France. During these times of unrest and battle, many soldiers went on to final resting places in graves in Flanders, France. Ensuing literature describing how poppies grew so thickly and vibrantly over these graves – in

soil that once could not produce much vegetation. Years later, a soldier would be instrumental in bringing the symbol of the poppy to the hearts and minds of Canadians. When John McCrae served in the First World War as a lieutenantcolonel, he was stationed near Ypres, Belgium, the area traditionally called Flanders. McCrae observed how poppies grew so well among the makeshift graves of the soliders, which were marked by wooden crosses. When McCrae lost a fellow soldier and close friend, he penned a poem called In Flanders Fields and portrayed the picture of war and the poppy flower visual.

We, the members of

Take time to remember OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

emembrance Day is approaching when, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we pause to remember the effects of war, the value of preserving peace and, for many individuals, all those who served in situations of conflict or peace. We always pause to think of our personal connections to this day and to its meaning. We trust you will do the same. The following is a selection of simple items related to a day of remembrance. A recent militarythemed tour in Fraser and St Peter’s cemeteries led to a discussion about the local cenotaph and the “rolls of honour.” The cenotaph in front of city hall has been in this location since the new city hall opened there in 1953. Prior to this the Remembrance Day or Armistice Day parades proceeded to two other sites. The first site was near the corner of Columbia

Street at McBride Boulevard, while the second was at the north end of the Pattullo Bridge. Stories of Remembrance Days at these locations describe large crowds of citizens, many groups of veterans and others with military links, often a band leading the large contingent of people, and at the earlier events, military officers on horseback. The “rolls of honour” or “honour rolls” were lists, separate from those on a cenotaph, of those who had participated in a conflict, usually in the First and Second World Wars, but they could be for other wars as well. While occasionally these were in the entrance of a large business or industry, they were usually found in churches, schools, libraries, fraternal halls, town or city halls, and obviously, armouries. Some of these still hang in these locations, while others have been taken down and stored away. Many have found their way to the New Westminster Museum and Archives, or similar institution in other towns, for safekeeping. What do these “honour rolls” show? They show the names of those who served, noting particularly

those who died. These are valuable items that are often sought out by those working on their family tree. While these lists are well-known to most members of an older generation, they can be unfamiliar but eye-opening to others. Do you have military links in your family’s story? If you have connections to The Royal Westminster Regiment, its museum is well worth a visit. On Nov. 11, please pause for a few moments. “At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”

A REAL ROYALS’ GOAL-GETTER

District teams get second chance

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Cariboo Hill and Burnaby Central secondary school soccer teams will have to make the best of a second chance opportunity to qualify for the provincials. The Cariboo Hill Chargers went down 2-0 early in the second half to North Shore champion Sentinel in the B.C. high school boys’ AA zone qualifying match at Cariboo Oval on Tuesday. Cariboo captain Kirk Menezes scored a goal off a long free kick midway through the second half that sailed over the keeper to shave the deficit in half. With the Chargers pushing up for the equalizer, Sentinel scored a third goal late in the contest. A day later, the Chargers found out the team would have a second chance to qualify for the AA provincials, which will be played at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West from Nov. 18 to 20. The Chargers played Thursday (after Record deadlines) for the second zone berth. “We didn’t know we’d have a second chance,” said Menezes. On the North Shore, Central lost 2-1 to Sutherland in the boys’ AAA zone qualifier. Vuk Erbez tapped in the game’s first goal off a strike at goal by Parker Ellis to give the Wildcats a 1-0 lead at the interval. But Sutherland scored two unanswered goals in the second half, including the game-winner with just 10 minutes left in the contest. “We missed our chance. We have to take a detour to the provincials,” said Central coach Anto Steko. In the other qualifying match, Moscrop lost to Handsworth by a 1-0 score. Central also played Thursday (after Record deadlines).

A hot hand: New Westminster Royals Matthew Birovchak, in red, scored four times to lead the Royal City atom rep hockey team to a 6-1 victory over the Burnaby Winter Club A4 team at the Canada Way rink on Sunday. Kaeden Humphries and Liam Atchison also scored single markers for the winners. The winter club spoiled the Royals’ shutout bid with a goal 53 seconds before the end of the second period.

North and Moscrop VB champs BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Burnaby North and Moscrop stood up to the challenge. The senior boys’ and girls’ regular season champions both swept their way to a BNW banner, winning their respective No. 1 seeding into next week’s Lower Mainland qualifying volleyball tournaments. The North Vikings played a relatively mistake-free match in the banner final, taking league runner-up Burnaby South Rebels in straight sets 25-12, 25-21, 25-17 at North on Wednesday. “Today everything clicked together on offence and defence. We just played really great overall,” said North captain and league allstar Brian Shim. Shim, fellow all-star Caleb Tam, Jasper Quan and Devon Jones provided much of the firepower at the net for North, which flirted with a top-10 provincial ranking earlier in the high school season. In the final, Jones broke open a tie game early in the first set with a long service run to put the Vikings well in charge. Tied 12-12 in the second set, Tam had a similar strong string of winning serves that put North into the lead for good despite a late South rally. North had control of the final set.

Both North and South qualified for the Mainlands. South’s Josh Lovendino and power hitter Stanley Su were also named district all-stars after the match. Moscrop, a marathon fiveset winner over Burnaby To watch Mountain in the consolation a video, final, took on Gladstone scan on Thursday (after Record with deadlines) for a wild card Layar seed into the provincial qualifying tournament. The match for the third district seed was a thriller from the opening set. Moscrop won the first set in extra ends 29-27, but Mountain broke right back, winning the second set 26-24 in a game where no more than two points separated both teams throughout. The two well-matched school teams then traded the third and fourth sets by similar 25-23 scores, with Moscrop taking the first game and Mountain forcing a fifth and final tiebreak. Moscrop won the tiebreaker 15-5 to remain in the hunt for a spot in the Mainlands. Kevin Giang of Moscrop and Eric Cheng of Mountain were also named to the all-district all-star team. North’s main competition at the Lower Mainlands will likely come from No. 3- ranked StevestonLondon. “I’d say we have a pretty good

chance of even first,” said Shim. We play pretty decent volleyball.” The Mainlands will finish up at David Thompson on Nov. 14 and 15. The top four school teams will make it to the AAA B.C. championships in Kelowna later this month. In the girls’ district final at Moscrop, the host and No. 10ranked Panthers routed the Vikings 3-0, winning 25-21, 25-16, 25-22. The victory was the fourth consecutive high school district championship title for the Moscrop girls, who have been together since bantam. “North started out very strong, matching swing for swing,” said Panthers’ coach Kim Or. “Eventually Moscrop found ways to convert the free balls to kills and stay in system.” Moscrop will now host the 12team Lower Mainland Quad A qualifier that includes North Shore provincial honourable mentions Handsworth, down from No. 3 in the polls, and West Vancouver. The top three placing teams will earn Lower Mainland berths into the provincial championships in Penticton. In single A volleyball, Burnaby’s Carver Christian Phoenix is in the top 10 in both boys’ and girls’ rankings. The Phoenix boys are currently holding steady at No. 3, while the Carver girls’ team dropped a point in recent polling to seventh place overall.

Defenceman Ty Schultz of New Westminster scored a pair of game-winning goals for the Northwest Giants in a sweep of its weekend series against the Northeast Chiefs. The Burnaby Winter Club product got the winner with less than two minutes left in Sunday’s 3-2 win over the Chiefs in a B.C. major midget hockey league game at Coquitlam’s Planet Ice on Sunday. On Saturday, the firstround draft pick of the Western Hockey League Medicine Hat Tigers opened the second period with an unassisted first marker of the year that stood up as the game-winner following a 5-2 win at home over the Chiefs. Playing with just 15 skaters on Sunday, the Giants got big goals from support players to post the team’s 10th victory this season. Keegan Jones opened the scoring in the first period with his third counter of the year. Trailing 2-1 in the third period, first-year forward Ryland Chernomaz scored his first goal as a Giant to knot the contest midway through the final frame. A day earlier, the Giants dumped the Chiefs at the Burnaby Winter Club. Defenceman Mitch Stapely got things started in the first period, counting his first goal of the year in a two-point effort at home. QuinnThompsonscored his 10th goal, and Colton Kerfoot added a team-best 12th goal of the year, while Owen Stout also scored to give the Giants a 5-1 lead before the Chiefs answered back late in the third period. The back-to-back wins kept the Giants in a firstplace tie with the Okanagan Rockets both with identical 10-1-1 records. Kerfoot led all scorers on Saturday with a threepoint effort. The secondyear Giant is currently tied for third place in league scoring with 24 points. The Giants are in Kelowna this weekend for a first-place battle royal with the Rockets.

Lakers suffer ﬁrst home loss

Clan club wins again

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Burnaby Lake was very nearly shocked out of first place in the B.C. Rugby premier men’s division this week. Capilano moved out of the premier basement, winning its first game of the season, handing the Central Valley rugby club its first defeat of the year following a 9-3 loss at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-East on Saturday. Burnaby Lake had won the previous matchup between the two clubs last year at Klahanie Park, beating the Caps 24-22 in the Vancouver Rugby Union’s Miller Cup final. “That was a critical win for us today, and I’m real-

ly proud of how the team fronted up,” said Capilano head coach Tom Larisch in a press release. “The weather wasn’t the best, but we did what it took to win.” The win left Burnaby tied with James Bay atop the premier standings, both with 3-1 records and 15 points. Across town, premier league newcomer Vancouver Rowing Club also pulled off an upset, knocking off the University of Victoria 18-11. UVic fell to 2-2 but remained ahead of the 31 Rowers in the overall points standings. Burnaby Lake has a bye weekend this week, before taking on the Rowers at Brockton Oval on Saturday, Nov. 16 at 2:45 p.m.

Remembrance Day tourney The Burnaby Girls Soccer Club will be holding it annual Remembrance Day tournament at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. More than 90 teams, including clubs from Whistler, Nanaimo and Chilliwack, will be taking part. Special guests from the Canadian women’s national team and Whitecaps mascot Spike are also expected.

B.C. second at Challenge Cup B.C.’s under-16 hockey team failed to win a second straight gold medal at the Western Challenge Cup in Calgary. Alberta bettered B.C., which included Northwest Giants defenceman Dante Fabbro and forwards Tak Anholt, Quinn Benjafield and Keyvan Mokhtari of Burnaby, 4-2 in the final on Sunday. It was the second time in the tournament that Alberta got the better of the West Coast reps. The Alberta rep team also defeated B.C. 3-2 in overtime in earlier round-robin play. Fabbro scored his first goal of the

competition, including the game-tying goal that sent the game to extra time. Fabbro also assisted on three other B.C. goals, helping out with a set up in B.C.’s 5-4 win over Saskatchewan in the opener. Last season’s minor hockey player of the year also assisted on a pair of B.C. goals in B.C.’s 3-2 overtime win over Manitoba, including the OT winner, on Day 2 of the competition. Mokhtari also scored a goal for B.C. in the win over Saskatchewan. Brody Wilms of Coquitlam stopped 36 of 40 shots for B.C. in the final.

Two third-period goals stood up as game-winners for the first-place Simon Fraser University hockey club last Saturday. The Clan club improved its B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League record to 50-0 following a 3-2 win over the University of Victoria at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. The victory was the Clan’s third straight win over the Vikes so far this season. First star Nick Sandor notched the game-winning goal from Graham Smerek and Jesse Williamson midway through the final frame. Just minutes into the third period, Smerek gave SFU a 2-1 lead from second star Jono Ceci and Jared Eng. Jesse Mysiorek opened the scoring for the Clan. Andrew Parent stopped 11 shots in the SFU net. SFU remained in a tie atop the six-team loop with Selkirk College and Trinity Western University, all with 10 points. – Tom Berridge
