Veteran politician Peter Julian topped the polls in New Westminster-Burnaby – on a night when his party lost Official Opposition status and the Liberal Party of Canada reclaimed prominence in the House of Commons.

The Liberals won a majority government with 184 seats in the House of Commons, while the Conservatives were relegated to Official Opposition with 99 seats.The NDP, which had achieved a record 103 seats in the 2011 federal election, won 44 seats, the Bloc Quebecois had 10 seats and the Green party won one seat. All results are unofficial.

In New Westminster-Burnaby, unofficial results showed Julian won the riding with 22,935 votes (43.5 per cent), besting Liberal candidate Sasha Ramnarine with 15,166 votes (28.8 per cent) and continued on page 9

Will Liberals be good for New West?

Mayor optimistic that new federal government will mean good news for cities on transit, infrastructure Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Cote is looking for a new and improved relationship between cities and the federal government.

Cote said he’s very happy to see NDP incumbent Peter Julian re-elected to the

House of Commons, saying he’s always represented the community very well and advocates for local issues in Ottawa.

“I know he will continue to do so,” he said. “Having him there is going to be very beneficial for New Westminster.”

Cote is hopeful the change in government will also bode well for New Westminster and cities across Canada.

“The Liberals made a number of positive commitments to cities in terms of investing in infrastructure, transit investments, putting investments into affordable housing,” he said. “To me, I think those are really positive things that I am looking forward to working with the new federal government on.”

The Liberals have pledged to make “historic” investments into infrastructure, including transit, affordable housing, seniors’ needs and recreational facilities.

“I am optimistic, based on the platform

they put out,” Cote said. “Here in New West, we face a number of challenges, including an aging Canada Games Pool that we need to act on. Partnerships with different levels of government will be very helpful in that process.

“I am also confident that our MP Peter Julian will also be able to be working in Ottawa to hold the new government to account to the promises that were made in this election. I am looking forward to a new opportunity, really, a new way of cities engaging with the federal government.”

Election 2015

‘People wanted to see Harper gone’ Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Democrat MP Peter Julian easily clinched a seat in the House of Commons despite a red wave of Liberals that swept to power nationwide.

Julian, who has served as New Westminster’s MP since 2004, was elected as the member of Parliament for the newly created New Westminster-Burnaby riding.While he’s disappointed with the NDP’s results at the national level, he’s not entirely shocked.

Mr. Harper has been such a divisive force “We certainly saw in the last few weeks there was a lot of push around the Liberals,” he said. “Certainly on the doorstep it felt good, things were very strong. But people were making up their minds at the last minute.”

New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy was among supporters at Julian’s election party at the Columbia Theatre Monday night. She said the city will still be well represented by a wonderful member of Parliament.

“People wanted to see Harper gone.They wanted to see Harper gone. Justin Trudeau developed some

momentum. Once people decide that that is the best chance of defeating Harper, that’s where they go,” she said. “The Stop Harper (vote) was very, very strong.”

Julian concurs.

“I think Mr. Harper has been such a divisive force in our country that that became priority No. 1,” he said. “Mr.Trudeau must be congratulated for his victory and then the question is, is he going to continue Mr. Harper’s agenda, which he seemed to want to do in a number of areas, or is he going to make a clean break?

Only time will tell.”

Julian said New Democrats will be fighting to make sure Canadians get real change the vast majority of people were looking for.

“I am very concerned about the health-care system,” he said. “Mr. Harper has opened up a gaping hole – $36 billion. It starts in about 14-and-ahalf months. Mr.Trudeau didn’t seem to want to address that issue.We are talking about a sizable gutting of the health-care budget. I was with my father last week for an emergency – we had to wait five hours before he could get a painkiller.That’s not because the staff aren’t working hard; they are working incredibly hard. It’s because the cutbacks are already having an impact.”

Julian said he’s worried

what the pending cuts to the health-care budget will mean to Royal Columbian and Burnaby hospitals, so that will be an issue New Democrats will be championing in the House of Commons.

With polls showing the party in the lead earlier in the campaign, Monday’s election results were a blow to New Democrats, who landed only 44 seats.The

NDP reached a high of 103 seats in the House of Commons in the 2011 election.

“I think we will probably spend a lot of time analyzing what happened in this campaign, what was done right, what was done wrong,” Darcy said. “I think the overriding factor is that people wanted to get rid of Stephen Harper. People went with who they thought had the best chance of de-

feating Stephen Harper.”

Those sentiments were echoed by New Westminster Coun. Jaimie McEvoy, who said the anti-Harper vote consolidated around the Liberals. He said there is still a public perception that the Liberals are the alternative government to the Conservatives.

“The Anti-Harper Party won,” he said.

As for Julian, McEvoy

said he does tremendous constituency work.

“He is one of the hardest working people I know in politics,” he said.

“You’ll never find him sitting around during an election campaign. He knocks on more doors than anybody. Nobody can keep up with him. If I go knocking on doors with Peter Julian, I know I have to be fit and be ready.”

‘I plan to stay here and build,’ says Ramnarine Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Liberal Party’s positive campaign resonated with voters from coast to coast.

That’s the view of firsttime candidate Sasha Ramnarine, who took second spot in NewWestminsterBurnaby on election night.

Ramnarine said Canadians rejected the “politics of fear” of the Harper Conservatives.

“It shows that we ran a very good, positive campaign, a lot of voters resonated with that,” he told the Record. “Our leader, Justin Trudeau, showed a very positive campaign and a campaign for real change.”

Other parties have attempted to run positive campaigns but haven’t al-

ways met with success at the polls.

“A lot of people wanted a positive government, wanted a positive message,” Ramnarine said. “When we went door knocking, when we met people at events, people

We ran a very good, positive campaign. really liked the fact that our campaign and the national campaign led by Justin Trudeau was positive.”

While critics ran with a message that “he’s just not ready,” Ramnarine said Trudeau did an amazing job on the campaign trail.

“Clearly it shows tonight that a lot of people believe he’s ready,” Ramnarine said.

Ramnarine sat with about a dozen supporters at his constituency office to watch TV coverage showing the Liberals win a majority government in Ottawa. Preliminary results show, Ramnarine had 28.8 per cent of the votes in NewWestminster-Burnaby, compared to Julian’s 43.5 per cent.

“Peter Julian has done a very good job here representing the people,” he said.

Ramnarine said he will continue to live in New West, work at his legal practice and do advocacy work.

“Four years from now you will likely see me again,” he said. “I plan to stay here and build.”

Opinion OUR VIEW

Dear Mr. Trudeau: Don’t get cocky Dear Mr.Trudeau: Well, that was an exciting night.We have to thank you for keeping it interesting for us all – not so much here in NewWest, perhaps (our result was all but a foregone conclusion) but right across the country.

And we couldn’t help but watch with interest as you set out your vision for a new, positive, forward-looking future for our nation.

We just want to make a polite suggestion.

Don’t get cocky.

We know, we know, you managed to pull off a miracle, what with turning 36 measly seats into a majority government. Not since that whole five loaves and two fishes thing has someone managed to parlay so little into so much for so many so quickly.

But don’t think for a second that the victory was all about you. It was about a whole lot of factors – and those factors weren’t all

as pretty as your perfectly coiffed hair.

It was about Canadians being mad as heck at Stephen Harper and his Conservative Party’s divisive campaign.

It was about strategic voting and Canadians rallying around those they saw as the most likely candidates to defeat those above-mentioned Conservatives.

It was about the fact that you entered the campaign in third place and had really

nothing to lose by putting it all on the line – unlike your rival on the left,Tom Mulcair, who clearly buckled under the pressure of having to prove he had the gravitas to govern the country.

It was about the fact that your campaign team was clever at coming up with ways to turn all the attacks on you to best advantage.

(If there is a person in the country who hasn’t made at least one “nice hair” joke in the past couple of months,

we’d be surprised.)

And, yes, it was about you.You answered your doubters (and they were legion) by proving yourself to be more shrewd, more savvy and more solid than many gave you credit for – and you managed to remain likeable and upbeat throughout.

That was no mean feat, and we congratulate you.

Now we have one request: Do it. Follow through on what you’ve promised us.

Start with electoral reform. Don’t let the fact that you managed to pull off a first-past-the-post miracle dissuade you from realizing that Canadians deserve a better system that gives more representation to all the voices of this proud nation.Then, step by step, lead us forward into that future of hope, optimism and positive cooperation you’ve promised us.

We’re counting on you.

Please don’t let us down.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Campaigns matter, a lot Whenever Premier Christy Clark is asked to account for her surprising, comefrom-behind victory in the 2013 provincial election, she invariably replies “campaigns matter.”

It’s a view that is now no doubt shared by the three major federal party leaders, who this week finished an epic 11-week marathon campaign themselves. Public opinion about the three of them seemed to shift, swing and move remarkably as the campaign wore on.

I’m filing this column the day before the vote, so I have no idea which of them won. But all indications were pointing to the Liberals’ Justin Trudeau winning and the Conservatives’ Stephen Harper besting the NDP’s Tom Mulcair when it came to votes and seats won.

This, of course, is exactly the opposite of the scenario marking the beginning of the campaign and shows the campaign itself does indeed matter – a lot.

The NDP’s Mulcair, at the start, was the man to beat. Harper looked spent, and Trudeau was miles behind. All signs pointed to an historic NDP victory.

And then people started to pay attention.

That’s another one of the points Premier Clark’s insisted was true when she was being counted out of it in the months before the 2013 vote: “People don’t pay attention to politics until the campaign is well under way.”

Much of what passes

for political debate in this country – question period, talk shows, political panels – is eagerly gobbled up by those with a keen interest in politics. But the majority of folks do not fall into that category and go out of their way to essentially ignore “politics” whenever they can.

During an election campaign, however, those people take out their earplugs and stop averting their eyes, and begin assessing things.

And when they started doing that, public opinion seemed to shift: the Liberals’ popularity started to grow, and the NDP’s began to shrink.The Conservatives, meanwhile, were stuck in neutral for the most part since the campaign began.

Because expectations were so low for Trudeau (and set so low, ironically, by the Conservatives’ “he’s not ready”TV ad campaign) he had the most room of the three to grow in popularity, and he did just that.

As I mentioned, I’m filing this before the votes are counted. But I’ll wager when they are, many folks will come to the same conclusion about one thing: campaigns matter, because that’s when voters really start paying attention.

What seemed like reality at the beginning turned out to be anything but, because the campaign itself determined the election outcome – not the warm-up game preceding it.

Wisdom of citizens gives hope for future

Incumbent MP Peter Julian keeps his seat

Dear Editor October 20, 2015 … and a great sigh of relief was heard across the land. The tyrant has fallen!

Every person who worked to defeat Stephen Harper, no matter what your party, won this election. The wisdom of the citizens gives hope for a future. We avoided splitting the vote. We played it safe by voting for the historically established governing party. The leaders couldn’t cooperate, but the people did. This has been a brilliant accomplishment of our collective mind and spirit. Our unprecedented response was commensurate with the outrages Harper committed against our democracy. This was not just a vote “for change,” it was a vote to remove the Harper government, to take back our country. But the Liberals are taking the credit. Mainstream media focus on party policies, campaign strategies, personalities. Happy under this capitalist alternative too, they’re quick to turn it into a Liberal triumph; Canada’s first “family dynasty.”

One leader takes the credit, the rest take the blame; but it was the voters’ wise decision.

Many a stalwart NDP or Green must have voted for the candidate most likely to defeat the Conservative. But our win-lose culture revises the people’s collective victory. The cult of the individual, the all-powerful male leader, established interests: some of us are making the same mistake again. The people, though, will remember.

Hilda Bechler, New Westminster

Laneway flaws Dear Editor Laneway housing is a good idea in some cases, but one important issue needs to be addressed, parking.

We already have problems in single-family neighbourhoods with too many people parking on the street, sometimes because they’re using their onsite parking for storage or other purposes, and sometimes because they have tenants in suites who also have cars, and sometimes it’s both. It is often the case that residents are unable to park in front of their own homes thanks to neighbours with too many cars. The problem could easily be solved by bringing in a bylaw that prohibits anyone from parking adjacent to or in front of anyone else’s home for more than a certain number of hours – three, four, six, whatever. Such a law would only be enforceable on complaint, leaving room for neighbours to work it on the ground if they so choose. It’s safe to assume that after a couple of tickets the street parking hogs would miraculously come up with onsite parking, and builders of laneway houses would be compelled to include it in their designs. Over-parking in residential areas is already a problem; let’s not make it any worse.

Ian MacNeil, New Westminster

Thank you to police Dear Editor Just wanted to say thank-you to the New West police department.

My husband and I saw a stray dog in our neighbourhood and as it was after hours for animal control we didn’t know what to do with him. My husband said he would call the non-emergency police number and I told him they wouldn’t come out … but they did. They helped us find the owner and were just great!

Such a wonderful feeling to know they cared!

Janet Reid, New Westminster

Margie Fox I’m not sure Chloe Ellis is even a real person. What kind of campaigning politician doesn’t show up to all-candidate meetings or respond to interview requests? Did the Cons just put her there because they knew they had no hope of winning?

Ben Inglis Congratulations Peter!

What is with Chloe Ellis getting 10,000 plus votes? When you don’t show up at anything how do you garner 1 vote at all? Last week I thought I saw the unknown comic but maybe it was her dressed as the unknown politician.

‘This is not the last you have seen of me’ Theresa McManus

Chloe Ellis will continue to lend her voice to the Conservative cause in the coming years.

Ellis, a first-time candidate, was the Conservative party’s candidate in New Westminster-Burnaby, where she placed third in the polls on election night.

“I do intend to use what I have learned here. I really want to continue to be a passionate advocate for the interests of the New Westminster and Burnaby constituents,” Ellis told the Record via phone on election night. “This is not the last you have seen of me yet.”

While all three of the main parties were in the lead in polls during the 11week election campaign, the

Not a typical song and dance production Tereza Verenca

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Two artistic directors want to give queer youth across the Lower Mainland a voice through a community production called PROX:IMITY RE:MIX – and the Royal City is no exception.

Delia Brett and Daelik Hackenbrook, the faces behind Vancouver-based dance company MACHiNENOiSY, are bringing their show to Anvil Centre Theatre this Saturday.

The 30-minute performance is a collaboration between seven LGBTQ+ youth (four of whom are from New West), who explore the issues of identity and gender through personal anecdotes.

But it’s not your typical dance show.

“You’re not going to see

what you’d normally see if you were to base it on something like SoYou Think You Can Dance,” Brett told the Record. “It’s like dance theatre, so there’s a lot of talking.The show is really constructed around the personalities of the participants themselves.”

PROX:IMITY RE:MIX, Brett added, is also a collaboration with new media artist Sammy Chien, who’s been able to fuse sound and video technology into the production.

Alex Bellavance, who identifies as a trans male, is one of seven performers to hit the stage.

The 15-year-old “discovered himself” in 2011 and came out in a letter to his mom on May 25, 2012.

“We kind of brushed it off for a year because it was unheard of at the time,” he explained. “Then I had come

out again later that year, to both my parents.They were fine with it and we still didn’t do much about it.

Then I came out to everyone over Facebook and I had all positive responses.”

Even though the transition process has been mostly positive so far, with surgery to come next year, Bellavance said it wasn’t that long ago where people just thought of it as a “phase.”

“It was just really hard to get going with my transition. … I feel like I’m almost done. Once I finish (surgery), I’m going to feel 100 per cent and focus on doing other things.”

Given the teenager’s confidence, Brett said it was easy to incorporate his story into the show. However, not every trans person feels the same way, she noted, which is why the artistic directors

wanted to create a platform.

PROX:IMITY RE:MIX was born out of a previous project called Law of Proximity, where in 2012, eight youth were mentored in the creation of multimedia dance.The pair then decided to use the same template and invited youth to participate in performances in their own communities, a skill-building process that takes about two weeks.

Participants are asked to write journal-like entries about themselves and share what they like, or don’t like. From there, Brett and Hackenbrook use that information to build the show.

“It’s about giving a voice to people who tend to be marginalized,” Hackenbrook told the Record.

“The youth we’re coming across have all be very powerful in the representation of themselves.”

Brett, meanwhile, suggested it’s also been a very rewarding experience for them, the teachers.

“We get our hearts blasted wide open every time because working with youth, who are so willing, so smart, so talented, it’s just really touching and really inspiring,” she said.

PROX:IMITY RE:MIX at Anvil Centre on Oct. 24 is MACHiNENOiSY’s fifth and final production of the year.

Admission is free, with doors opening at 1 p.m. and the curtain rising at 2 p.m.The show is part of the third annual MOMENTUMYouth Arts Festival (formerly known asYam Jam).

OUR MISTAKE Oops. My apologies to the Arts Council of New Westminster (and to art lovers interested in the new exhibition at the Gallery at Queen’s Park).

lier story.)

The show opened over the weekend with a reception on Sunday, and Gibbs will be returning to the gallery for an artist’s talk on Tuesday, Oct. 27 from 7 to 8 p.m. Check out www. artscouncilnewwest.org for all the details.

MONDAY MOVIES CONTINUE NEXT WEEK

And one more reminder for film buffs: the arts council’s Last Mondays at the Movies series continues on Monday, Oct. 26.

It’s screening at 7:30 p.m. at Massey Theatre.Tick-

ets are $10 regular, or $8 for seniors and students (cash only at the door).

You are invited to the OUR CITY WORKSHOP:

A COMMUNITY CONVERSATION ON HOUSING NEW WESTMINSTER’S OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN UPDATE What kinds of housing are best suited in your neighbourhood? Where in your neighbourhood should higher density housing locate to support services and amenities? How can each neighbourhood include different kinds of housing so people have options?

These are the kinds of questions we will explore in this Official Community Plan (OCP) Workshop. Join us and help shape the future land use in your neighbourhood.

RSVP if you are interested in attending the Saturday, November 7 event. The workshop and lunch is free, but registration is required.

This workshop is part of the OCP update which will set out the vision, goals, and policies for the future of New Westminster. Since we already have community plans for Queensborough and Downtown, the focus will be on the rest of the city.

Can’t attend the workshop? We will be taking the show on the road through November with drop-in style workshops in multiple locations throughout the city. Watch our website and this paper for dates and locations.

Community ‘It can never disappear’ to the trunks of trees.

“It’s pigment and water,” he said. “It just comes off. In London, after three months they just washed it off because they didn’t have a lot of rain.”

In keeping with the environmental message of the Blue Trees, the shocking blue pigment is non-toxic.

“I’ve painted myself with it first before we ever did it,” Dimopoulos smiled. “I said I wouldn’t do anything to the tree that I wouldn’t be prepared to do myself.”

Applying an unexpected colour to an everyday object helps engage people, Dimopoulous said.

“People slow down,” he said “What public art does is gets people to slow down and ask, ‘What are you doing?’”

Depending on the weather, the longevity of the blue trees remains to be seen.

But long after the blue has faded away, Dimopoulos says the Blue Trees live on in the minds of those who’ve seen them and in photos viewed around the world.

“Once a blue tree is here, it can never disappear,” he said. “It doesn’t have to be physically here.That’s what I like – this will disappear in a few weeks but it will still be on your camera, their

Continued from page 19 sculpture behind. I think that’s more important.”

Dimopoulos, whose sculptures and installations appear around the world, first introduced the Blue Trees in Melbourne, Australia in 2005/06. Since then, Blue Trees have sprouted up in cities around the world.

“We did it in Melbourne first, very small, then we did it inVancouver,” he said of trees done in 2011 as part of theVancouver Biennale.

“We have done it in about

Community members joined Dimopoulos atWestminster Pier Park on Friday and at city hall on Sunday to apply pigment to the trees.

Using brushes and rollers donated by the local Army and Navy store, Dimopoulos and volunteers applied an ultramarine blue pigment

TheVancouver Biennale commissioned Dimopoulos to create Blue Trees in tree cities as part of the 2014 to 2016 event. Community members are helping him apply blue pigment to more than 350 trees inWestVancouver, NewWestminster and Squamish.

“Trees are the lungs of the universe,” he said.

A touch of colour: A dozen blue trees can be found in Westminster Pier Park on New Westminster’s waterfront.

Volunteers helped Konstantin Dimopoulos apply pigment to the trees last Friday.

today’sdrive 20 15 Chrysler 300C

Your journey starts here.

There’s more than a bit of Bentley going on here

BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

There was a time when you could still buy a proper American sedan – chrome, eight cylinders, pride. Not to mention a big, brassy presence and an unapologetic demeanour.

That time was about last Tuesday; and yesterday; and also today.

Witness the Chrysler 300C, the machine that quite frankly makes any Lincoln Continental reboot a semi-silly idea. We simply don’t need a big Linc’, not when Chrysler’s already got the whole big car thing covered.

The 300’s name is a throwback to the original Chrysler sedan, known as the letter series cars. They were powerful and luxurious, and the C on the back of this modern machine makes it a suitable carrier of the bloodline: it’s the most heavily-optioned version available.

The question becomes, just because the 300C is faithful to an older ideal, how does it do in our modern world. Fire up the Hemi V8, settle back into the leather seats, and check out a real American machine – which just happens to be built in Canada (don’t tell the Yanks).

Design:

Tweaked for the 2015 model year, the 300C now features a new front and rear section, along with a new grille that’s a third larger than previously. With the LED surrounds and the winged Chrysler badge, there’s more than a bit of Bentley going on here.

Add in 20” chrome alloy wheels, LED foglights, and a length that approaches yachting specifications, the 300C does really start looking like it’s trying to earn its Flying Spurs, so to speak. However, it’s not an imitation – the 300C has a character all its own here.

The side profile is big, but not too big, with a trunk that’s not overlong. The 300S version – the sport model – is a bit more aggressive, complete with spoiler; however, the 300C’s silhouette is a bit more reserved. It’s certainly not a shy car.

than half the time of the old five speed. Not only does this make the car far livelier in a straight line, but it helps keep revs down low when you’re just sailing on down the highway.

And that’s what this big ol’ girl does best. While perfectly capable of dusting off its heels at a stop light, the 300C is more a long-distance machine, fitted with plenty of passing power.

Environment:

Cavernous is the word that springs to mind, especially in the 300C’s rear seat. This is a proper big car, and would only need bench seating to be able to sit proudly on the dealership lot in the late 1960s.

Of course, things are far more modern up front. A huge 8.4” Uconnect touchscreen is the main control surface, and that includes the controls for the heated seats and steering wheel. Here, as elsewhere, Uconnect proves to be one of the easier systems to immediately jump right in and use. Voice commands pick up your instructions quickly and without making repeated errors.

Aside from the dominant central screen, the 300C hasn’t changed much with the redesign. There’s a new rotary-style gearshift controller, operating much like a Jaguar XJ, a two-tone steering wheel, and neat features like heated and cooled cupholders.

It’s nice enough, with quilted-look doorcards, but is starting to get surpassed by high-option trims of the refreshed Charger.

Performance:

Under the 300C’s long hood is the main event, a 5.7L V8 making 363hp at 5200rpm and 394lb-ft of torque at 4200rpm. Yeah, it’s got a Hemi in it.

Thing is, I’m not sure you really need it. The V8 is stoutly powerful and provides wonderful roll-on acceleration (and the soundtrack’s pretty great too). However, most buyers would be perfectly well served by the standard V6, which is also thriftier at the pump.

Having said that, the 300C doesn’t penalize you much for wanting a proper V8 cruiser.

The transmission is now an eight-speed unit that shifts in less

Road noise is not quite as serene as could be hoped for, and we’ll lay the blame on the 245mm-series all-seasons. A touring tire might cut down the road noise a bit.

Additionally, that eight-speed transmission operates smoothly when warm, but will occasionally jar a bit off the line when it’s cold out.

The steering provides more feedback than you’d expect from a machine from the old school, but it’s not really happy threading through the twisties.

Spec a 300S for that work.

Instead, simply hum along the trans-Canada or US interstate, headed for sunshine and maybe a deckchair by the beach. It’s that kind of a car, relaxed and relaxing, but with power reserves aplenty to get past that tractor-trailer blocking the view.

Features:

While fully-loaded, the 300C can be fitted with several enhancements, and this week’s tester had a few extras. Aside from the Hemi, it also had optional HID headlights, harman/kardon premium audio, and a safety equipment package that includes blind spot monitoring and front and rear parking assist. The total just cracked the $50K mark, making the 300C a lot of sedan for a significant amount of money.

Official fuel economy figures for the optional V8 are 9.3L/100kms on the highway for manual-equipped cars, and 14.8L/100kms in the city. That’s actually not bad, all things considered, and the 300C will hit its highway mileage without straining hard. It’s also a relatively huge fuel tank, so it has the legs to go the distance.

Green Light:

Great presence; comfortable, spacious interior; stout V8 power; solid infotainment

Stop Sign:

No all-wheel-drive available with V8; interior is getting dated; some road noise

The Checkered Flag:

Old school manners, but still street smart.

Changes in the works for ’Borough site Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A “complex” site in Queensborough could be heading to public hearing in about six months.

City staff has been working on a master plan for a Queensborough special study area site, which is bounded by Ewen Avenue, Stanley Street, Duncan Street and Furness Street. Now that the master plan is nearing completion, staff said Platform Priorities would like to move forward with a rezoning of the site.

According to a staff report, Platform Properties entered into an agreement with the city to purchase the city-owned land (currently home to the tow yard and animal shelter) and some private properties in the area.

Planner Lynn Roxburgh said the “complex” site is surrounded by a mix of uses and railways.

Some of the city’s goals have been to provide a good transition between industrial and residential properties in the area, and to address residents’ desire to have a commercial node around Frankie G’s pub.

Under the proposed landuse plan, portions of the triangular-shaped site would be designated as groundoriented medium density (townhouses, four-plexes, tri-plexes), low-density residential and a Queensborough Main Street area that’s grounded by an anchor tenant.

Before going to public hearing, the city will have another meeting with owners in the special study area and an open house with the Queensborough Residents’ Association.

The advisory planning commission will also consider the proposed official community plan and zoning amendment bylaws, before council considers first and second readings.

“There’s still more opportunities for the public to be involved as we move forward with this process,” Roxburgh said.

Council has directed staff to consult with a variety of organizations, including Metro Vancouver, councils of adjacent municipalities, Qayqayt First Nation, the school district, and provincial and federal ministries.

New West 7 featured in new pop-up exhibition Tereza Verenca

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Sixth Street Pop-Up + Gallery will be displaying art by the New West 7 next weekend, something gallery owner and original creator of the group Trudy Van Dop is most excited about.

“It’s a first. Because my gallery is in my home, here in New Westminster,

and this is in downtown, it opens it up to all the downtown people who may be uncomfortable or shy about coming into my gallery,” she told the Record.

The New West 7 (a term coined by Van Dop to reference the famous Canadian group of painters, the Group of Seven) was created a couple years ago and is made up of internationally

celebrated artists who work and live in the Royal City.

They are Angela Au Hemphill, Jim Walsh,Teressa L. Bernard, Jerry McLaughlin, Gabor Gasztonyi, Lanta Meng and Leslie Poole.

Many will recognize Gasztonyi for his A Room in the City portfolio, an anthology of photos taken in the living quarters of residents of Vancouver’s Down-

town Eastside.Then there’s Poole, known for his paintings, drawings and prints, all which elicit deeply felt emotions. Hemphill, meanwhile, is widely known for her portrayals of the unique heritage homes and neighbourhoods of New West.

“Each has their own unique style,”Van Dop said.

“When people own a piece of their work, they also feel

proud to have one.”

She added another goal of the New West 7 is to showcase that New Westminster residents do in fact collect art – pieces that don’t have to be flown from overseas, but can be found right here in town.

The exhibit at Sixth

Street Pop-Up + Gallery, located at 42 Sixth St., runs from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

After Nov. 1, the exhibition will move back to its original home in the Van Dop Gallery.

Rookies on the force

Rookie: Chanel Chersak signs the official document making her one of three new constables hired by the New Westminster Police Department this month.

Chersak, who grew up in North Vancouver, is no stranger to policing. Both her parents are RCMP officers.

Three new constables on board with NewWest police department cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

They’re young, keen and ready to hit the road.

The NewWestminster Police Department recently welcomed its newest batch of constables, adding another three officers to its ranks.

The new officers come from a variety of backgrounds.They grew up in different cities, took different education paths, have different interests, but one thing they do have in common is they all wanted to be cops.

“It was always something I’ve wanted to do since I was really, really young. It was just a matter of pursuing it until I achieved it,” Andrew Ravenhill told the Record.

Ravenhill, 24, is fromVictoria. He was a reserve constable for theVictoria Police Department, and he also volunteered with a local homeless shelter. He graduated from the University ofVictoria with an arts degree in history and business, and spent much of his youth playing soccer, which is how he got to know some of the officers from NewWest.

Chanel Chersak also

knew from a young age she wanted to be a police officer – both her parents were RCMP officers. (Her father is retired, and her mom is still working.)

“That was kind of my introduction to the policing world. I know it’s challenging, in the sense that you’re not going to be there for a lot of family events and holidays and birthdays, but at the same time my parents seemed to have enjoyed their jobs, and it was a good stable career,” she said.

Chersak, who is from NorthVancouver, applied to several police departments, but she felt NewWestminster was the right fit. Plus, as a graduate of the law enforcement program at the Justice Institute, she already felt at home here.

Alina Baugh-Allen had a similar answer when asked why she chose NewWestminster.The 33-year-old spent two years at Douglas College before transferring to SFU to complete her arts degree in criminology. After school, she went to work for B.C. Corrections where she’s worked for the past six years.

The recruits spent their first week going through orientation at the department headquarters before heading into their first block of training at the Justice Institute of B.C.They’ll hit the roads for the first time shortly before the new year.

AA Family-Owned Family-Owned Funeral FuneralHome Homemakes does It’s the best time to make a difference... a difference... plant trees and shrubs

Community

Anne Marrison

GREEN SCENE

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Because of our changing weather, fall is now the safest time to plant trees and shrubs or move them.They all need several months of moisture to settle in and so far our winters provide that.

Grass is continuing to grow and people with vegetable gardens can use grass clippings as a nitrogen-rich weed-blocker. Grass clippings are also a great nursery for earthworms.

Fall rye is another useful cover for winter veggie beds.

Fall rye’s myriad fine roots leaves the soil soft and workable once the top growth has been cut and composted. Just don’t let it go to seed.

Leaves make yet another good mulch, though they tend to blow around until they’re thoroughly moistened or rained on.They add valuable carbon when they’re layered-into compost.

Some gardeners bag their leaves and gradually add them to compost through the winter. An easier alternative to bags is hoops of small-mesh wire netting. A twist-tie top and bottom is usually enough to complete the encirclement.

Leaves also make a good mulch for shrubs and perennial flower beds. If some

perennial stems and seedheads have been left for birds to forage on, these form a loose barrier to stop leaves from taking flight again.

Once leaves have fallen and you can clearly see the shape of deciduous trees and shrubs, it’s a good time to prune. In fact, some trees should be pruned in late fall or early winter because they’re “bleeders” and can drip sap for weeks if they’re pruned in spring when sap is on the move anyway.

Fall is now the safest time to plant trees and shrubs or move them.

These “bleeder” trees include birches, maples, laburnums, magnolias, honey locust, lirodendron and willow. Interestingly enough, with sugar maples and birches, the bleeding tendency has been exploited so that today we have maple syrup and birch syrup.

Climbing roses are also best pruned now, cutting back smaller side branches a few buds away from the main frame. Most other rose bushes are best left until late January or early Febru-

ary when the buds begin to swell and redden.

It should be time to take in plants, which have been left outside all summer.These include Christmas cactus and all kinds of houseplants. Every one needs to be checked over for unwelcome visitors.

This can include serious problems such as mealy bugs and whiteflies to more benign nuisances like spiders and sowbugs. All can cause problems for other houseplants.

Sometimes summering houseplants placed on soil for summer can root down through the drainage holes.

If these are big, important roots (this can happen with shrubby houseplants), the plant will suffer from having them severed.Then you’ll need to prune some top growth to keep your plant in balance.

Bulbs and tubers of tender plants need to be taken into inside storage.These can include dahlias, gladiolus, canna lilies and calla lilies. Predictions are for a warm winter, but leaving them outside may mean checking the weather forecast every day to find out when you need to bring them in.

Council has been holding meetings at various venues in the city for the past month, as renovations are currently under-

way at the council chamber in city hall.While it was anticipated council would return to its permanent home this month, council has approved a staff recommendation to hold its November meetings at Anvil Centre.

“Staff has been advised that there will be a two to three week delay in the completion of the mill-

work,” stated a report from chief administrative officer Lisa Spitale. “When the millwork is in place, the audio-visual contractor will be able to install the equipment and then test the system.”

According to staff, it’s now anticipated the work will be completed by Nov. 20.

Are You Tired of Being Tired?

How to get the best care at a walk-in clinic Dr. DavidicusWong

HEALTHWISE

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Walk-in clinics have become a necessary part of medical care.

These no-appointment clinics can be helpful if you have an urgent problem that doesn’t warrant a visit to the emergency department. Examples include acute bacterial infections, such as bladder infections, ear infections or tonsillitis. Of course, if your family doctor is available, you should call the office first.

Sometimes it seems more convenient to pop into a walk-in clinic for a prescription for the medications you regularly take. However, you may need to wait several hours to be seen when you could have tried calling your family doctor’s office for an appointment.

There may be additional consequences to convenience. I had two patients who had not had their blood pressure and cholesterol levels appropriately checked for over two years because they went to walkin clinics for prescription renewals.

As a family doctor, when I write prescriptions for ongoing medications, I include the quantity and number of renewals consistent with how frequently they need to be reassessed. For example, when blood pressure is stable, it should be measured at least annually.With some medications, periodic blood tests are needed to ensure that they do not adversely affect the kidneys or liver.

If you don’t have a family doctor in town, the walk-in

clinic may be the only place you can get your regular medical care. If this is the case, how can you ensure that you get all the care you need, including the screening tests appropriate to your age, gender, personal and family history?

If you get your care from a number of different family physicians, you might be fragmenting your care.

Both you and your physicians may be operating at a disadvantage, not seeing the complete picture of your health over time.

Earlier this year, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. issued professional standards and guidelines for walk-in, urgent care and multi-physician clinics.These standards help address the disparity in the care you might receive at a clinic compared to a traditional family practice.

The college stipulates that all patient medical records must identify your primary health-care provider (or family physician), if there is one, whether he or she is at the clinic or at another location. Furthermore, with your consent, a copy or summary of your visit (including copies of any tests) must be sent to your family physician.

The college also stipulates that if patients do not have a regular family physician, the same walk-in, urgent care or multi-physician clinic must be responsible for offering the longitudinal medical care of a family physician, including appropriate periodic health examinations.

For some walk-in clinics this is a significant change in practice.They are now expected to provide the same

standard of care as a traditional family practice.

If you do go to a walk-in clinic because you can’t get in to see your family doctor or if you don’t have a family doctor, how can you ensure you get the primary care you need?

First, make sure that your treating physician has the essential information to treat you safely. Before anything is prescribed to you, the doctor needs to know the names of all other medications you may be taking as well as any known drug allergies.The treating physician also needs to know about any significant past medical history including any ongoing health conditions, such as asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes.

You could provide all this information on a single page that you should give to a physician treating you for the first time.

If you don’t know if you might be due for any screening tests, such as diabetes or cancer screening, ask. I personally don’t find that addressing screening tests takes a great deal of time, and I consider the same question with each patient I see every day before I step into the exam room to address whatever concerns they are presenting.

If you’d like to ensure that a physician has given thorough consideration in coming up with a diagnosis and treatment, ask the following three questions. “What else could it be?” “What’s the worst thing it could be?”

“What would you advise your own family member?”

A savoury soup for your bowl

Chef Dez

ON COOKING editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Soup is great because just one pot is a blank canvas waiting for you to unleash your culinary imagination.

One of my all-time favourites is Mulligatawny soup.

The name for this currybased soup is derived from the words “milagu” (meaning pepper) and “thanni” (meaning water). It is also a great recipe for using up any leftover cooked chicken from the night before.

When using lentils, salt is typically added at the end of the cooking time as it could slow down the cooking of the lentils, and I have followed that rule here.

However, keep in mind that there is typically salt in chicken broth, so leaving the salt to the end probably doesn’t make too much difference in this instance.

MULLIGATAWNY SOUP 1/4 cup butter 1 medium onion, diced small 2 celery stalks, diced small 1 medium carrot, diced small 6 garlic cloves, minced 2 tbsp flour 2 tsp curry powder 1 tsp garam masala 1/4 tsp dried thyme

Carrier Week of the

Congratulations to STEPHANIE ARMSTRONG

Warm up with homemade soup: Mulligatawny soup offers a flavourful option for fall dinners and it’s a great way to use extra chicken that might be left over in the fridge. Chef Dez offers up tips and a recipe for creating his favourite version of the soup, which includes chicken, lentils and a variety of spices and flavourings including garlic, cloves, garam masala and bay leaves. PHOTO THINKSTOCK

4 cups chicken broth/stock 1/4 cup dried green lentils 2 bay leaves 1 apple, peeled and diced 2 cooked chicken breasts, cubed (preferably grilled) 1 – 400ml can of coconut milk 1.5 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Add butter to a pot over medium heat. Once the butter foams, add the onion, celery, carrot and garlic.

Stir to combine and cook for two to three minutes,

stirring occasionally until soft.

Add the flour, curry powder, garam masala, and thyme and cook for two to three more minutes, stirring frequently.

Slowly add the chicken broth and stir to combine while adding to prevent lumps.

Add the lentils and bay leaves.

Bring to a boil and then simmer over low heat uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the apple, chicken, and coconut milk. Continue to simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes to ensure that the lentils are cooked and to let the flavours come together.

Season with the salt and pepper, discard the bay leaves and serve immediately.

Makes approximately eight cups.

The Bra Lady Is coming to Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Due to the overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Chapman is coming to NEW WESTMINSTER, WEDNESDAY OCT. 28 to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably?

• Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra?

• Do you overflow the cup of your bra?

• Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks?

• Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support?

• Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

PechaKucha New West returns to Royal City Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

PechaKucha is making a move to Anvil Centre for Volume 9.

Ten presenters with an eclectic range of interests will share their passions in presentations featuring 20 images for 20 seconds. Since its beginnings in 2013, PechaKucha has sought to bring together people who are hungry for local culture.

“Our presenters consist of individuals who typically have a tie to our city, through work or play, or are culturally relevant,” said organizers Neal and Melina Michael in an email to the Record. “This has allowed us to have a great mix of people from different do-

mains.”

The latest installment of PechaKucha NewWest takes place on Saturday, Oct. 24 at Anvil Centre. Guests will be gathering for drinks at 6 p.m., with theatre doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and presentations getting underway around 7 p.m.

For Volume 9, PechaKucha is pairing up with the MomentumYouth Festival and showcasing today’s engaged citizens and tomorrow’s leaders. Presenters at the upcoming event include: Jonina Campbell, chair of the New Westminster School Board; Sean Carter, director of Carter Hales Design Lab in Vancouver; Daniel Chai, cofounder of The Fictionals Comedy Co. in Vancouver; Caroline Doerksen, president of gender, sexuality and women’s studies at Simon Fraser

University; and Jen Rustemeyer, filmmaker and producer of Just Eat It and The Clean Bin project.

To reserve free tickets, go to www.eventbrite.ca and search for PechaKucha New West Volume 9.

The public engagement survey is available on the city’s website or hard copies are available at local community centre.The survey, which will run throughout October, is being conducted on behalf of the mayor’s task force on public engagement, which was established to review how the city engagement with residents and businesses and to develop recommendations for enhancing community public engagement and civic participation.

Rainy day library fun for kids and parents Alicia Dobbs

Record contributor

It’s fall on the West Coast, which means that the long days of rain, rain, and more rain are finally upon us. If you’re looking for fun things to do with the family that also keep you dry and inside, the library is a great place to start.

First, check out some of our many activity and craft books.

These are chock full of great ideas for things to make and do: Try 101 Kids Activities That Are The Bestest, Funnest Ever! (Homer) or ProjectKid: 100 Crafts to MakeWith and ForYour Kids (Kingloff). For activities that will keep several kids happy, try The Siblings’ Busy Book (Kempskie), or if your chil-

dren are younger, ask for Crafty Kids: Fun Projects for You andYour Toddler (Hankin).

For more variety, have a look at titles like, It’s All Fun and Games (Bertrand), Unbored (Glenn), and its companion book Unbored Games.These books are great resources with ideas for hundreds of activities and games for all ages.

The library itself is also a great place to hang out with the family on rainy days.We have puzzles you can work on together, and a variety of fun board games like Monopoly, Scrabble, Apples to Apples, and more. For younger kids, grab some puppets and put on a show, or build something fun with our building blocks.

Of course, nothing beats

sitting down in a corner with a good book or magazine as the rain comes down outside.

Adults and kids alike might enjoy spending some time with non-fiction trivia books like the Guinness World Records, Kids Almanac, and the Weird but True! series.We’re always excited to recommend our favourite reads for fun, or help find resources for last-minute homework assignments.

Information on seasonal programs and other family activities at the library is available on our website at www.nwpl.ca.

A Home Awaits at Tsawwassen Springs

L

ongtime local residents Jim and Kathy Clarke watched with interest as Tsawwassen Springs masterplanned community came to life.

“We weren’t even thinking about moving, although we are now empty nesters,” says Jim Clarke. “But we’d been watching the development and gradually we became more interested.” Impressed with the quality and beauty of the natural surroundings, they decided to check out the show home.

“The location was very important to us but it was more than that … the quality construction really got me,” he says, adding his company works with the construction industry. “We also love the fact that many young families have bought here as well.”

The couple soon found themselves buying a three-bedroom sub-penthouse in Phase Two. “My wife Kathy loves the open-concept kitchen, the high ceilings and big decks,” he says. “We have great views of the bluff and

of the golf course. We also like being close to the ferry terminal, the security of the community and the turnkey lifestyle.”

Welcome to Phase 3 of Shato Holdings Ltd’s masterplanned community; Tsawwassen Springs. The six-storey concrete building will feature 90 residences, ranging from 553-square-foot studios up to more than 2600 square feet of penthouse living with oversized private rooftop patios.

“We listened to feedback from buyers in Phase One and Two and took the best of what they told us for Phase Three,” says Sarah Toigo, Director, Sales and Marketing for the project.

The residences feature nine-foot ceilings (11 feet on the sub-penthouse level, 12 feet in the penthouses), engineered hardwood flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, master bedrooms that accommodate a kingsize bed, as well as gourmet kitchens with a premium stainless-steel appliance package, granite countertops and islands (in select

condos).

The homes also come standard with geoexchange heating, air conditioning and hot water on demand, solar panels to offset maintenance fees and one year of free Telus HD/TV and high-speed internet services.

Spacious decks invite outdoor entertaining at its best, with North Shore mountain, water and golf course views included.

Nestled among walking trails and in close proximity to the ocean, Tsawwassen Springs sits on 137 acres in the midst of the Tsawwassen Springs Golf Course. The buzz surrounding this enclave has attracted investors including the likes of Michael Buble and record producer Bruce Allen.

Set to open this fall, Pat Quinn’s Restaurant & Bar (named after the NHL legend) overlooks the fairways of Tsawwassen Springs.

For nearly five decades, the awardwinning Vancouver-based builder, founded

by Peter C. Toigo of the White Spot restaurant chain, has built a reputation for innovative design combined with outstanding quality.

Right now, Tsawwassen Springs is offering limited time incentives: cash enticements for smaller condos (based on purchase price), and double side-by-side car garage for larger condos.

These stylish contemporary condos start at $299,900 and include one parking stall with electric charger for a golf cart or electric car, secured parking and storage.

Larger condos come with two parking stalls.

Tsawwassen Springs Sales Centre show home (the 1600-square-foot corner condo) is located at 111-5099 Springs Blvd. Both are open Tuesday to Sunday, from noon to 5 pm.

Community CITY HALL IN BRIEF

New design in the works for parkade art project Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Muse Atelier is working on a new design for a public art project on the Front Street parkade.

In July, a majority of council opposed the proposed installation by Muse Atelier that had been recommended by the city’s public art advisory committee.

The artists have agreed to develop a new mural design that’s consistent with the urban design principles of Westminster Pier Park.

A staff report states the new concept will be avail-

able for council’s consideration in November.

The public art would be installed after work on the Front Street parkade upgrade is compete and will be unveiled in the spring of

2016.

Mayor Jonathan Cote said he’s pleased a new plan is being put forward for the public art at the location overlooking Westminster Pier Park, as he feels

it needs something unique and representative of the city.

The city recently held an open house to gather feedback from the community about things they’d like to see

Sports Chiefs find ways to grow, win Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Seven games and counting.

The Vancouver North East Chiefs continue to find ways to pull in the points, as demonstrated by a 4-4 draw Sunday against the South Island Royals.

Nicholas Bucovaz’s marker with 2:32 left in the third pulled the Chiefs even with the host Royals, in a contest that saw the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League’s defending champions stake out a 2-0 lead, but forced into playing catch-up over the final two periods.

Chong Min Lee and Ian Macdonald gave the Chiefs an early two-goal advantage but South Island tied it up with two late goals in the first and took its first lead midway through the middle frame.

During their seven-game unbeaten streak, the squad has collected four wins and three draws, but not all of them were works of art, remarked head coach Jamie Jackson.

“We are a young team and we made some mistakes in our backend that (South Island) took advantage of.We were lucky to get the point.”

Liam Everson also scored for the Coquitlam-based squad, which includes players from east Burnaby, New Westminster, the Tri-Cities, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.

In the first game of their twin set, the Chiefs doubled up the Royals 4-2, with Brett Didyk’s goal 47 seconds into the second period proving to be the winner. Also scoring for the visitors were Logan Bromhead, Harris Pearce and Min Lee. This year’s lineup is well-stocked with new faces, after a majority of last year’s players moved onwards.

New Westminster’s Liam Ryan, 15, and Emilio Salas, 16, are making the transition from minor hockey to major midget.

Jackson said both have contributed to the team’s fast start.

“Liam’s doing real well and was leading our team in scoring as a first-year player up until this weekend. ... He’s a big, two-way guy with great skill and a hard shot and a lot of potential.”

Ryan, a forward, was drafted last May by Prince George in the Western Hockey League’s bantam draft.

Salas, meanwhile, missed three games due to injury but has slid back into the lineup, adding a strong, six-foot-three, 205-pound presence to the blueline.

“The injury slowed him down but he’s look good since returning.

He’s a big-bodied kid who can protect the crease.”

A week prior, Ryan pocketed his fourth goal of the season as the team blanked the Kootenay Ice 4-0.

The Chiefs play Greater Vancouver on Saturday, 3:30 p.m. at the Poirier Sports Centre in Coquitlam.

Brief breakdown sidelines Hyacks

Vancouver College capitalizes on long dash, turnover to flip NewWest in AAA tussle Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

When it comes to playing against the provincial elite gridiron programs this season, the New Westminster Hyacks have showed they are contenders.

It’s just contending for a full 48-minute game that is the issue.

The Hyacks ran up against the powerhouse Vancouver College Fighting Irish on Friday and came away with a deceiving 49-21 loss in senior AAA football.

We put together a great march but just couldn’t punch it over.

Although the final score was of the lopsided variety, New Westminster coach Farhan Lalji said the game really hinged on a handful of minutes just before halftime when the No. 5-rated Hyacks saw their 21-14 lead evaporate.

“It was a frustrating game (considering) where we were going in the first half,” said Lalji. “In a span of five minutes, we had one kid get hurt, gave up a long run and an interception.”

Vancouver College’s Jasper Schiedel tore down field for a 72yard major, and Regan Oey pulled down quarterback Jamie Shiho’s pass for a 31-yard score.

There were few sunny ways for New West after that.

Although the two quick strikes put the Hyacks on their heels at the half, they responded and set out to remedy the deficit with a long march that lasted more than

six minutes. However the drive fell short of the goalline, and VC proceeded to pile up the points.

“We put together a great march but just couldn’t punch it over, they came back and scored and the wind just went out of our sails,” said the New West coach.

Scoring for the Hyacks were Josh Olango, on a five-yard run in the first quarter, while Justin Swartz caught a seven-yard TD pass from Shiho. In the second quarter, Michael Thind caught a six-yard pass to give New West the

lead – ever so briefly.

Shiho completed 11 of 21 passes for 82 yards, with Thind catching eight passes for 54 yards and Swartz grabbing three for 42 yards.

On defence, Jeff Lugtu wrapped his arms around eight tackles and added two assists, with Kevin Osea collecting seven tackles.

Picking up five tackles each were Rochan Bhattacharya and Marcel Wang.

It doesn’t get easier for the 1-1 Hyacks.They now turn their fo-

cus to the Island for Friday’s game against the No. 1-ranked Mount Douglas Rams.

“Mount Doug has an outstanding talent, Gavin Cobb, and he’s going to get his (yards),” said Lalji of the versatile standout who has 13 majors on the year. “The key is how we respond to it.

“I think there are areas we match up well with (Mount Doug) and we need to play to our strengths. I truly believe there isn’t a team we can’t beat, we just need to play a full 48 (minutes).”

Breakout year earns Digby new deal

The Vancouver Stealth have signed forward Tyler Digby to a one-year contract.

Digby, a New Westminster native, enters his third season in the National Lacrosse League and has not missed a single game over his pro career. Last season he enjoyed a breakout year, putting up 74 points, including 38 goals, in 18 games with the Stealth.

“I am really excited to be back with the Stealth and continue to have the opportunity to play in front of friends and family at home games. I believe our team has improved through free agency and the draft, and can’t wait to get to a competitive training camp and start the season,” said Digby, who is a member of the Burnaby Lakers during the summer season.

Digby was selected in the third round by the Stealth in the 2013 NLL draft and over 36 career games, has racked up 132 points to go along with 102 loose balls won.

Stealth president and general manager Doug Locker was extremely pleased with what Digby has accomplished the past two years with the club, and is happy to get him under con-

tract for another season.

“Tyler has quickly developed into one of the league’s top players and is a very important part of our offense. He has the ability to score goals inside as well as outside and has a strong work ethic.We love what Tyler brings and can’t wait to watch what he does in the coming season,” said Locker.

ROYALS GOALKEEPER GARNERS AWARD Making the big stops has been Rebecca Mainardi’s calling card. It earned her the PacWest’s women’s soccer Player of the Week honours.

Mainardi played a pivotal role in Douglas College’s two victories over Kwantlen and Quest last weekend.

On Saturday at Kwantlen, she was tested early but came up with a great save and some timely interventions to keep the match scoreless. In the dying minutes and the game still in the balance, Mainardi turned aside a penalty shot to secure the 2-0 win and the Royals’ seventh shutout of the season.

Against Quest on Sunday, she was once

again outstanding in guarding the cage in a 2-1 triumph for Douglas.

The third-year student athlete from Maple Ridge She was a key member of last year’s team that recorded a provincial bronze medal.

CLAN POST YARDS, BUT NO SCORE Simon Fraser University rushed for a season-high 183 yards but couldn’t find the end zone in a 19-0 loss to the South Dakota School of Mines in Great Northwest Athletic Conference football action.

It is the first time since Sept. 4, 2010 when SFU lost 38-0 at home to Western Oregon – its first game in NCAA Division 2 – that the Clan has been held scoreless.

Simon Fraser remains winless at 0-5 this season while the Hardrockers improved to 5-2 overall and 2-1 in the GNAC. Simon Fraser junior running back Ante Milanovic-Litre rushed for a game-high 124 yards on 21 carries.

SFU rally stalls in home opener

A strong third period couldn’t bridge the gap for the Simon Fraser University Clan men’s hockey team, as it fell 5-3 to the Eastern Washington University Eagles in SFU’s home opener Saturday at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre.

The home opener attracted 1,473 fans and saw both teams combine for 66 penalty minutes, with SFU accounting for 38 of those minutes.

The Clan opened the season two weeks ago with a 5-4 win over Trinity Western University, which saw SFU tagged with 28 of the game’s 40 penalty minutes.

“After last week’s penalty barrage, the one thing we had to do was stay out of the box,” said coach Mark Coletta. “We addressed it all week [. . .] and we didn’t do a good job of it.”

Tied 1-1 after the first period, the Eagles surged ahead with a three-goal second.

Eastern Washington took the lead seven minutes into

the middle frame, but the Clan appeared to tally the equalizer 18 seconds later – but the goal was waved off after the referee ruled the puck had been kicked into the net.

The Eagles got a pair of goals off the stick of defending BCIHL scoring leader Beau Walker.

Scoring for SFU were Tyler Basham, with a pair, and Brandon Tidy, off an assist from Robson Cramer.

New Westminster native Jordan Liem started the game in goal for SFU, kicking out 21 shots before being relieved by Lyndon Stanwood, who stopped all 12 shots he faced.

“The goaltending’s not an issue for us,” said Coletta, who was optimistic the team would return to its winning ways next weekend. “They’ll figure it out, they’re good core guys, I think we got good leadership in there.”

SFU hosts the University of Victoria Vikes at 7 p.m. on Saturday in Burnaby.

Closing the gap: New Westminster’s Kyle Jamieson, right, keeps a close eye on his PoCo rival during tier 2 field lacrosse on Sunday. PoCo built up a big lead but New West gave it a decent rally before falling 13-8. PHOTO CHUNG CHOW
