WOW! It’s the biggest one in Canada

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Canada’s largest outdoor public art installation has found a home inWestminster Pier Park.

Barry Mowatt, founder of theVancouver Biennale, said WOW NewWestminster is the largest installation in the 2014 to 2016 Biennale.

The 140-foot long piece by Brazilian artist Jose Resende consists of four 40-foot shipping containers positioned to form aW. “Containers circulate in abundance and are an integral part of the urban landscape

of NewWestminster,” Resende said in a press release. “Their presence is an evident index of the city’s vitality.”

The city anticipates the sculpture will provoke conversation around NewWestminster’s historic identity as a hub of shipping, industry and transportation in British Columbia.

In early discussions about WOW New Westminster, the project generated considerable community debate – with some people questioning the artistic merits of the piece and council asking whether it could accept the otherVancouver Biennale installations and not WOW NewWestminster.

Stephen O’Shea, executive director of the Arts Council of NewWestminster, welcomes WOW NewWestminster.

“In terms of the theme, I think it’s appropriate for something like that to be there,” he said. “Not everyone is going to appreciate the artist’s interpretation on that.”

O’Shea said he saw a lot of public art in communities when he travelled across Canada with his band.While there will be naysayers, he believes it’s beneficial to create public art pieces that inspire the imaginations of children.

“It puts us on the map,” he said. “It is one of Canada’s largest pieces of public art.”

Marcello Dantas, senior curator for the Vancouver Biennale, said Resende is one of Brazil’s most-respected artists and has a 50-year career in developing sculptures of grand scale that defy gravity.

“Resende’s WOW NewWestminster is not only an interpretation of the economic activity of the Fraser River and the flow of goods through trains, ships and trucks, it’s also about capturing the energy and history of this transportation hub, the transformation of the City of NewWestminster and its waterfront into a recreational arts and cultural

NEWS IN BRIEF

No trick or treats A 26-year-old man has been arrested following a month-long investigation

by New Westminster police into a bank robbery on Halloween.

The theft happened at about 4 p.m. at a bank in the 500 block of Sixth Street on Oct. 31. Police wouldn’t reveal many details about the incident as the case is now before the courts, but they confirmed the suspect got away with some cash. No weapons were used and no one was injured, according to Acting Sgt. Jeff Scott, spokesperson for the New Westminster

Police Department.

The police department’s major crime unit took over the investigation into the robbery and was able to identify and locate the alleged thief – a man from Surrey, according to a press release.

The suspect, David Frederick Daniel Pullen, was arrested and has been charged with two counts of robbery for incidents in New West and Surrey. Police are planning to recommend more charges following the conclusion of the investigation.

Citizen catches thief in the act A suspect police allege broke into a home in Victoria Hill last Friday is behind bars thanks to some quick action by the homeowner.

On Nov. 20, New Westminster police received a call from a resident in the 200 block of Ross Drive at about 2 p.m.The caller told police he noticed his patio door had been pried open and called 911 when he found the suspect still inside his home.The suspect ran away, but the homeowner gave chase and the suspect was soon caught by responding officers, according to a media release from New West police.

“The quick response of officers led to the successful arrest of the suspect,

who is currently in custody,” said Acting Sgt. Jeff Scott, spokesperson for the New West police, in the release.

“Although we do not recommend homeowners chasing suspects, we do want to acknowledge the bravery of this homeowner, which led to the successful apprehension of (the suspect).”

Charges have now been laid against 43-year-old Surrey resident Franklin Hall.

He is charged with one count of break-and-enter, one count of assault and two counts of breach of recognizance.

Hall remains in custody at this time. He is scheduled to appear in court on Monday, Nov. 30.

More density?

The Brewery District is looking to add additional density to its Sapperton site.

Wesgroup Properties hasn’t yet provided the city with a formal application but has been considering the possibility of getting additional density through the use of increased floor space – something that’s available through an incentive in the secured market rental housing policy. Once it has consulted with residents and stakeholders,Wesgroup would identify a preferred option and seek a rezoning for the project.

Coun. Patrick Johnstone is encouraging the devel-

oper to have a “meaningful consultation” with the community about the proposal.

“This is the beginning of a rezoning process,” he said.

“I want to give you a headsup … we got a lot feedback from people on Alberta Street who were concerned about the loss of trees at your newly acquired property at 201 East Columbia St. As you are starting your public engagement process, you might want to start with talking to people on Alberta Street about what you are going to do about greenspace preservation.”

School board backs repeal of spanking law Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

The NewWestminster school board has thrown its support behind a campaign to criminalize spanking and other forms of child corporal punishment.

At a meeting Tuesday, trustees unanimously passed a motion to support Corrine’s Quest, a group working to ban the physical punishment of children.

The organization wants the federal government to repeal section 43 of the Criminal Code, the socalled “spanking law.”

“It’s archaic and I think it’s a ridiculous thing to have in this day and age,” trustee Michael Ewen said before Tuesday’s vote.

Section 43 allows a parent, teacher or “person standing in the place of a parent” to use “force by way of correction towards a pu-

pil or child … if the force does not exceed what is reasonable under the circumstances.”

Corrine’s Quest chair Kathy Lynn and former NewWestminster MLA and MP Dawn Black first asked for the board’s support during a presentation at a Sept.

15 meeting.

Board chair Jonina Campbell and trustee Casey Cook spoke in support of the motion, citing Canada’s obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child – article 19, which commits signatories to protecting children from “all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse, while in the care of parent(s), legal guardian(s) or any other person who has the care of the child.”

“I think that we should not exempt ourselves from parts of an agreement that we are a signatory to,” Cook said.

Campbell agreed.

“We as a board have a history of taking on an advocacy role, even though it’s not our level of governance, when we feel it impacts on our students,” she said.

The board will now bring the matter forward to the B.C. School Trustees’ Association for consideration at its upcoming 2016 annual general meeting. It will also send letters calling for the repeal of section 43 to various federal and provincial ministers, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and B.C. Premier Christy Clark.

The Supreme Court of Canada upheld section 43 in a 6-3 decision in 2004.

In her decision, Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin stated that, without sec-

Want to help refugees?

Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

NewWestminster residents have showed tremendous desire to help Syrian refugees who settle in the Royal City.

NewWestminster MLA Judy Darcy and NewWestminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian are co-hosting a community meeting on Sunday, Nov. 29 from 1 to 3 p.m. at UFCW Local 1518’s office, 350 Columbia St. Darcy said the city, immigrant services organizations and constituency offices have seen “an incredible outpouring of support for refugees and for welcoming refugees to NewWestminster,” from individuals, churches, the Sikh

temple, businesses and other organizations.

“We thought it would be really important to have a public event where people can come and find out how they can support refugees coming to NewWestminster,” she told the Record. “We think it could be as early as mid-December.We understand that the first air lifts will start around Dec. 1.”

Darcy said it’s been heartwarming to see the outpouring of kindness.

“There are so many people coming forward who are offering to donate clothing and food, and to volunteer, and to do translation, to donate glasses or dental work – you name it.We have been

quite overwhelmed with people contacting us,” she said. “NewWestminster has always been a very welcoming community, a very supportive community for newcomers. I think we have just seen the beginnings of that.

People want to know what they can do.”

At the meeting, people will be able to learn how they can volunteer and what kind of donations would help the refugees get settled in the city.

It’s expected NewWestminster could become home to about 100 refugees from Syria and Iraq.

“Usually 23 to 25 per cent of the refugees are school-aged children,” Darcy added.

tion 43, Canada’s broad assault law would criminalize acts like “placing an unwilling child in a chair for a fiveminute ‘time-out.’”

“The decision not to criminalize such conduct is not grounded in devaluation of the child,” she stated, “but in a concern that to do so risks ruining lives and breaking up families – a burden that in large part

would be borne by children and outweigh any benefit derived from applying the criminal process.”

McLachlin’s decision also notes that neither the Convention on the Rights of the Child nor the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights explicitly require signatories to ban all corporal punishment of children.

The Supreme Court did, however, outline “reasonable limits” to section 43, ruling that only children between the ages of two and 12 years should be physically disciplined and that it is unacceptable to hit a child in the head or face or with an object.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Women who won’t take it anymore It sometimes seems like one step forward and two steps back in the battle for gender equality.

Justin Trudeau took one huge leap for gender equality in government when he built a cabinet with 50 per cent men and 50 per cent women. His commitment to equality in government is commendable and historymaking.

And then this past week we heard troubling stories about how female students

at UBC were stalled and thwarted when they complained about sexual harassment and assault.

The young women were stonewalled despite an apparent process and people responsible for administering the system to deal with such complaints.

How could this still be happening in 2015?

But it is. From female firefighters and RCMP officers and military personnel to CBC employees deal-

ing with Jian Ghomeshi – people in leadership still seem to hope that if they ignore complaints it will all go away.

Well it doesn’t.

The young women from UBC have not accepted UBC’s apology and are filing human rights complaints. Good for them.

The RCMP women are still waiting for their day in court – but they continue to speak out.

Of course, bigwigs at

UBC and the RCMP have made numerous pledges to change the system or the way the system works, or doesn’t work.

Change, they often say, takes time and can’t be done overnight. Processes have to be fair and thoughtful.They have some good points, but it’s hard to tell if they’re sincere or if this is just bureaucratic bafflegab.

Unfortunately, institutions seldom move quickly – unless forced to by legal

consequences.

If there is a “good” side to any of this, it seems women are very clear that they will not be revictimized by the same institutions that were supposed to be protecting them.

They also recognize that this is sexism, pure and simple, not something they, as individuals, are responsible for.

They are steely in their resolve for justice and to help other women who may

face similar circumstances.

Their expectations for justice and action are light years ahead of what women expected even a decade or two ago.

Things have changed, and leaders such as Justin Trudeau reflect that change.

But sexism is still a deeply entrenched part of Canadian society, as we are too often reminded.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Energy issues challenge NDP Few issues are as challenging for the New Democratic Party than energy-related ones, and proof of that can be seen in two recent moves by the party both here in B.C. and right next door in Alberta.

In Alberta, NDP Premier Rachel Notley just launched an ambitious plan to bring in an economy-wide carbon tax, phase out coal-fired electricity and cap activity in the oil sands at current levels.

Notley’s plan has been hailed as visionary, groundbreaking and a model for other provinces. However, it also tacitly embraces the existence of the oil sands industry, which may explain why some companies there were quick to sign off on her new policy.

Presumably, the Alberta NDP has its eye on surviving the next election, which may partly explain why it is not turning its back on oil pipelines or the oil industry itself. Introducing a carbon tax in tax-phobic Alberta may be risky, but if the NDP’s political opposition remains fractured and broken that may not matter.

Contrast her government’s energy shift to how its B.C. counterpart is trying to shape its own energy policy. Last week, the B.C. NDP unveiled what it’s calling “Power B.C.,” which outlines what it sees as priorities in that sector.

So things like emphasizing more renewable resources such as wind and

solar power, offering more incentives for energy retrofits, and “maximizing” existing B.C. Hydro dams are at the core of the plan.

It’s hard to argue with much of it – although there are very few details being offered – and one of the underlying themes is that these measures would help negate the building of the Site C dam.

But this is where things get a lot trickier and fuzzier for the B.C. NDP. In some ways, the Site C dam (and, for that matter, the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline and fracking) are the equivalent of the Alberta oil sands in terms of challenges for the B.C. NDP. Officially, the NDP opposes the Site C dam. But here’s the problem: construction of the dam will be well underway – and billions of tax dollars will have been committed through signed contracts – by the time the next provincial election rolls around in May 2017.

Party leader John Horgan, in media interviews after he unveiled his energy plan, left the door open to walking away from the project should his party form government, but he also left it open to having construction proceed.

So while Notley may have found a neat way to deal with the elephant that is in her party’s room, Horgan has yet to find a way to deal with the one in his.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

City has nothing to apologize for

Should spanking be a criminal offence?

Dear Editor Re: Remembrance Day was poorly done, Inbox, the Record, Nov. 19.

I am writing in response to the letter by Bill Davies regarding Remembrance Day. Mr. Davies must not have read the previous articles in the Record explaining why the city changed the plan for the day. Perhaps he needs to speak with the police chief who advised mayor and council to make the changes due to security risks. In light of the attacks in Ottawa and the general tension in the world, public servants have a duty to protect all of the citizens of our city.

It is my understanding that the city planned the day, conferred with the regiment, who then made the decision to go ahead with their own event. It is difficult for anyone to be in two places at once.

The thousands of people who turned out for the service seemed quite happy to be honouring our soldiers, past and present, in the glorious sunshine at the cenotaph. The mayor and council did a fine job acknowledging the sacrifices made by many so that we can enjoy living in freedom.

As the wife of one of the councillors, I was proud to stand beside him with my head bowed. No apologies required.

Delora Harper, New Westminster

Time to ban the leaf blower already Dear Editor The world has become not only very busy but has turned into a terribly noisy place.

We are constantly being bombarded by noise: SkyTrain, trains, trucks, traffic, machinery both industrial and domestic.

One of the worst inventions that has cropped up in the last few years that needs to be addressed is leaf or garden blowers.

The constant noise from these horrible machines can be heard non-stop in most neighbourhoods no matter the time or day.

Not only is the noise pollution one of the worst, it has been identified as one of the worst carbon polluters on the planet. Pound for pound. Just get within a block of one and you can easily smell the gas.

Quite frankly, I can’t see that any job done by a leaf blower couldn’t be done quicker, and certainly quieter, by a good old-fashioned broom or rake.

Please help end the insanity of these horrible polluting machines and demand that they stop being used, personally and professionally.

@MikeFolka @JustifiedBagel @ juliemaclellan @TheRecord If you read the current law it’s actually very restrictive. But allows room for common sense. @_kayteebee @MikeFolka @TheRecord agree. Educate, don’t criminalize. What about damage to kids when Mom/Dad are thrown in jail or battling charges? @MikeFolka @_kayteebee @TheRecord Or trauma just from investigation due to letter of the law?

Police take child abuse allegations very seriously as is.

Kelly Slade-Kerr I don’t agree repeal of the law will make spanking a criminal act. Police do not apply the law literally. There is a legal maxim that the law does not care for trifling matters.

A law that is permissive and expressly allows spanking does not generate the same sober second thought about whether to spank. Maybe behaviour will change if parents come from a place where they know what they are doing could be considered an assault rather than “it’s okay, the law says I can spank”? Also, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child has advised Canada at least twice to repeal s.43, expressing “deep concern” that we have a law permitting the use of corporal punishment. That’s pretty convincing.

Gail Hamill Beau Birds of New Westminster. I love the idea, but it should include all our local birds. We even have Ravens nesting near Patullo Bridge.

Get wowed by art Continued from page 1 playground,” Dantas said.

“WOW NewWestminster will become a respite for citizens and an icon of the city and region for decades as viewers explore the riverside walk alongWestminster Pier Park.”

The official unveiling takes place on Saturday, Nov. 28 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and includes speeches and a ribbon cutting at 11:10 a.m., followed by guided tours of the three Vancouver Biennale installations on the waterfront hourly from 11:30 to 2:30 p.m.

“Families and the community are invited to come and participate and enjoy a walk along the riverfront from one Biennale installation to another,” Mowatt said. “There will be commemorative buttons etc. for those who attend.”

TheVancouver Biennale is encouraging people to take selfies with WOW and post them on a soon-to-beidentified website, where the resulting photo montage will become part of the history of the installation.

NewWestminster is now home to threeVancouver Biennale installations, as Public Furniture/Urban Trees by Hugo Franca was installed on the waterfront esplanade in June and Blue Trees by Konstantin Dimopoulos arrived in October.

“The collaboration between the city and theVancouver Biennale has been a successful one,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “The various outdoor installations have created memorable spaces and experiences for both residents and visitors alike.”

As part of the city’s participation in theVancouver Biennale, council approved $90,000 for the program, which includes the three installations, street banners, educational and cultural programs and more.The Vancouver Biennale later asked the city for additional funding of up to $40,000, as a result of “unanticipated extraordinary expenditures” related to the installation of WOW NewWestminster, with those funds coming out of public art reserve fund.

Police investigating runaway truck crash

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Police are trying to determine what caused a truck to lose control and crash into Hyack Square last Thursday afternoon.

The accident happened around 2 p.m. when a truck travelling south on Eighth

Street lost control and went through the lights at the bottom of the hill, hitting a concrete bench on the east side of Hyack Square.

The driver of the truck was OK and no bystanders were injured.

Investigators are now inspecting the vehicle to see if they can find the cause

How did it happen?

New Westminster police are investigating after the driver of this blue pickup truck lost control and crashed into Hyack Square last Thursday afternoon.

of the crash, said Acting Sgt. Jeff Scott with the New Westminster police.

“Our traffic unit’s investigating, so I believe they’ll be looking at the vehicle’s mechanical suitability to see if it was any sort of mechanical issues … that may have led up to the collision,” Scott said.

City hall set for a multimillion-dollar overhaul Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

You may need a map to find your way around New Westminster City Hall by the time renovations are finished.

The council chamber has been off-limits for the last couple of months while renovations are underway – but that’s just the beginning.

City staff has been working with a space planning/

interior design consulting firms to develop preliminary designs and cost estimates for a massive interior renovation of city hall that will include reconfiguring departments, replacing the HVAC equipment, upgrading an outdated fire alarm system, removing asbestos and upgrading lighting.

In addition to reclaiming space on the eastern side of the building, which once housed the NewWestmin-

ster Police Department and then the RCMP’s Integrated Road Safety Unit, the changes would see parks, culture and recreation department relocated to city hall from its existing space in Moody Park.

“Really, this is about facilitating an aspiration for a one-stop shop customer service,” said Lisa Spitale, the city’s chief administrative officer. “We have been hearing for years from the commu-

nity and our customers that some of our services are not well integrated.We will be commencing with upgrades to city hall to really have departments come together and streamline the permit process for our customers.”

On Monday, council approve the layout and proposed schedule for the interior renovations to city hall.

The plan would see the first phase of department relocations to take place in the

summer of 2016, with construction and completion of most of the construction to be done between July 2016 and December 2017.

Some of the planned changes including moving the development services department from the basement to the main floor of city hall, where it would be integrated with the engineering department. Parks, culture and recreation department would be relocat-

ed to city hall as part of this “one-stop shop” concept.

To help the public in finding their way around city hall, the plan also includes improved signage and graphics.

According to a staff report, the current plan has a target capital budget of $6.5 million. Of that, about $600,000 has already been allocated to the council chamber renovations that are already underway.

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Police department is going green on the roads Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The men and women in blue are going green.

In January 2015, the New Westminster Police Department began piloting a project aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reducing fuel expenses.

Four patrol division vehicles

are now equipped with dual fuel technology.

“We strongly believe that we are doing our part in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while being fiscally responsible to the citizens of New Westminster,” said Acting Sgt. Jeff Scott in a press release. “Over the next few years we will continue to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions as we change our existing

patrol vehicles over to dual fuel technology.”

The police department has announced there has been a 24 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions among its fleet since the rollout of the initial fleet.

The pilot project has also proven to be a major fuel cost saver.

“The Green Fleet dual fuel technology employs a system that uses gasoline as

the fuel source to start the vehicle, before seamlessly transitioning to propane as the primary source of fuel,” stated the release from the police department. “The decrease in the greenhouse gas emissions and the cost of fuel are largely in part due to the new dual fuel vehicles, and the officers making a conscious effort to avoid unnecessary idling where possible.”

As the police department replaces vehicles, Scott said all the new vehicles will be equipped with the duel fuel system.

MONEY MYTHS

PRIME MINISTER CALLS ON LOCAL CANDIDATE You just never know who may be calling when Private shows up on the call display.

Sasha Ramnarine, who was the Liberal candidate in NewWestminster in the recent federal election, was doing some work around home shortly after the election when his phone rang.

Seeing “Private” on the screen, he ignored the call.

A while later his phone rang again from a private line, and he chose to answer.

It turns out the call was from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was calling to personally thank Ramnarine for running in the

election and acknowledging the increase in votes the Liberals got in NewWestminster from the previous election.

Business Yoga helps the animals Theresa McManus MOVERS & SHAKERS

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The owners of a New Westminster yoga and dance studio are using their business to help the local animal shelter.

Twice a month, the folks at MOVEYoga, Pilates and Dance Studio in Sapperton hold a KarmaYoga 101 class that’s by donation. All of the proceeds are being donated to the New Westminster Animal Shelter.

“We are huge animal lovers,” said Aaron Hart, who co-owns the studio with his wife Jenni. “The class is instructed by either Jenni or newly trained teachers looking to gain experience in a studio.”

The next KarmaYoga 101 classes are scheduled for Dec. 5 and 19 at noon.

The Harts are planning to take their donation to the shelter on Dec. 19.

Hart said other yogis are welcome to contribute by donating their time and teaching these classes to gain experience for them-

selves.The company’s goal is to raise $300.

“We have not discussed with the shelter what specifically the contribution will be used towards. We want the money to be used where it is needed most,” he said.

“We have even had staff from the shelter come take class and make donations.

They really care.”

The Harts live in Sapperton, not far from the studio they opened in the Brewery District development on Jan. 12, 2015.

“This business has always been Jenni’s dream and we wanted to build something in our own community,” Hart wrote in an email to the Record. “When we discovered this space in the Brewery District, the timing was perfect, and we were excited to get in and be part of the revitalization of the neighbourhood.”

Challenger SRT

BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

There’s no denying that this car has presence like few other vehicles

With almost any other vehicle, new would be considered improved. However, where the Dodge Challenger is concerned, you really hope they don’t change too much about it.

If you think of the current domestic pony-car line-up as being a bit like Riverdale, then the Mustang is Archie, the newly designed Camaro is Reggie, and the Challenger is Moose. It’s big, it’s not very bright, but dang does it pack a wallop.

The other two rear-drive, V8-powered machines from the big three have developed into legitimate sportscars, with track-bred specials made as much for tackling corners as for the straight-line dash.

The Challenger, on the other hand, has a pair of horns for a halo model with the ridiculous 707hp (!)

Hellcat, and is decidedly old school in its purpose.

This is a proper muscle car, the last of its breed, really. Here, it comes with the 6.4L V8 of the Scat Pack and a manual transmission. It’s big, it’s scarlet, it growls. Basically, it’s the car version of Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Design:

The Challenger first burst onto the scene several years ago, and of all the retro-styled machines available at the time, it easily looked the best.

Last year’s styling tweaks furrowed the big car’s brows lower over its quad headlights and tucked everything lower.

If you park the new Challenger in the vicinity of one of the originals, you can see where the retro design hasn’t quite captured the sheer aircraft-carrier dimensions of the 1970s version. The problem is mostly the height of the new one, which detracts from its width, especially out back.

However, drive the Challenger around in modern

traffic, and there’s no denying that this thing has presence like few other vehicles.

loaded muscle car experience, then the full SRT392 package gives you a host of luxury features to go with a bigger engine.

Environment:

Alternatively, you can go with this Scat Pack variant, which might be the sweet spot in the range. It adds the largest 6.4L Hemi V8, upgraded wheels, tires and brakes, and you even get a few old-school SuperBee badges.

While nominally a four-seater, the Challenger’s rear buckets are a tad on the small side.

Getting a child seat fitted was a bit of a squeeze, even with those refrigerator-long doors.

The rest of the Challenger’s interior benefitted from the same upgrades its four-door Charger cousin received last year. The overall look manages to be both as retro as the exterior, yet at the same time very functional for the modern age.

The seats have a surprising amount of lateral bolstering, and with a red suede finish, you won’t slide around in them much. There’s far more space in here than you’d get in a Corvette, but despite the large size of the Challenger’s exterior, the interior volume isn’t particularly vast.

Chrysler’s Uconnect system remains one of the easiest infotainment systems to use, particularly the voice command system. This latter allows you to be a bit lazy about how you enter commands, so tuning to a radio station doesn’t require speaking the exact pass phrase.

However, if you’d prefer not to use touchscreen or voice commands, then the Challenger comes with some good old fashioned goodies like actual knobs for tuning and volume. And never mind the radio and stereo performance, because there’s 6.4L of V8 orchestra just ahead.

Performance:

Some folks will miss the pistol-grip shifter of the previous manual transmission, but those who opt for the automatic will get a great muscle car experience.

Now fitted with an eight-speed auto, the Challenger actually gets decent highway mileage in all its trims, and even the fire-breathing Hellcat can have its thirst reined in if you’re gently cruising.

While slightly overshadowed by the supercharged insanity of the Hellcat, the normally-aspirated Challengers are all still plenty fierce. If you like the rumble, then the 5.7L option is a great entry-level way to go; if you prefer a more fully-

Driving this big horse hard takes absolutely no finesse whatsoever. The Mustang and the Camaro prefer the backroad waltz, and they’re set up to appeal to the type of driver who regularly throws a helmet in the trunk for track day practice. The Challenger is for the dude or dudette who always faintly smells of burnt rubber, and who has the satellite radio permanently glued to 1970s rock.

It actually corners surprisingly well, thanks to the sheer grip of sticky rubber – while rapid transitions can upset the Challenger, sweeping constant-radius turns are a strength.

The real strength, however, is flicking the traction control to sport mode and getting on the throttle a little early out of the turn. Clifford, as it turns out, just loves to wag his tail, and with that land yacht wheelbase, he does so in a friendly manner.

The Shaker hood wobbles away, and the engine roars, and the gearshift goes *clonk* into third, and the nose lifts like a passenger aircraft approaching liftoff. Best of all, all these antics happen at relatively approachable speeds, so while the ‘Stang and the Camaro squabble it out over Nürburgring lap times, the Challenger is just about having fun.

Features:

Official fuel economy figures for the largest 6.4L V8 are 9.3L/100kms on the highway for manualequipped cars, and 14.8L/100kms in the city. That ain’t great, but it’s not exactly supposed to be a fuelsipper of a machine. While the fun of the manual has to be recommended, I’ll point out that the automatic loses little of the experience, and has a couple of extra-tall top gears for maximum highway cruising efficiency.

Green Light:

V8 power; V8 rumble; V8 everything; classic looks inside and out; solid infotainment

Stop Sign:

Not as roomy on the inside as you’d think; so-so visibility; could use slightly bigger brakes

The Checkered Flag: Big, friendly, fast, and fun.

Local star on Arts Club stage A homegrown talent is onstage in one of the Arts Club Theatre Company’s Christmas productions.

The Arts Club is presenting Peter and the Starcatcher, opening Nov. 26 at the Goldcorp Stage at the new BMO Theatre Centre in Vancouver.

The play, by Rick Elice with music by Wayne Barker, is a Peter Pan prequel that tells the story of how the celebrated character travels from being a lonely orphan to a beloved boy hero who never grows up.

Benjamin Wardle, a 2007 New Westminster Secondary School grad, stars as Peter.

“Join the intrepid Peter on an adventure that takes him from the orphanage to the decks of a ship called the Neverland where he is challenged by the ship’s greedy captain as he seeks out the Queen’s secret treasure – Starstuff,” a synopsis explains. “Cheer for Peter and his ragtag crew as they risk their lives to protect the Starstuff and save their friends.”

Arts & Entertainment THEATRE

Vagabond Players offer up ‘madcap’ comedy There’s nothing like a little theatrical mayhem to get the Christmas season off to a good start.

The Vagabond Players are back to the stage with Inspecting Carol, described as a “hilarious madcap comedy” and running Dec. 2 to 19 at the Bernie Legge Theatre.

Daniel J. Sullivan’s comedy takes the audience behind the scenes of a struggling theatre’s slapdash production of A Christmas Carol.

“Inspecting Carol tells

what happens when an aspiring actor of somewhat questionable talent arrives to audition and is mistaken for the inspector from the National Endowment for the Arts,” a synopsis explains. “Everyone caters to the bewildered wannabe actor, he is given a role, and the accident-filled, errorladen production that follows will leave audiences rolling in the aisles.”

Directed by Miles Lavkulich, the Vagabond Players production stars Mi-

The accidentfilled, errorladen production … will leave audiences rolling in the aisles

chelle Berg as Zorah Bloch, the founding director of the Soapbox Playhouse, with the quintet of Rich-

ard Wiens, Sheldon Landry, Denise Brookson, Diane Tzingounakis and Deborah Merrick as the founding members of the society.

Corrine Out is on stage as Karen Emery, the beleaguered managing director, with Jeremy Heynen as Wayne Wellacre, the aspiring actor with no training and even less talent.

Faith Hurd takes the role of Betty Andrews, the real inspector for the National Endowment for the Arts, and the cast is rounded out

by James Hughes,Wynn Siu and Veronica Berg.

The show runs Wednesday through Saturday nights at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.Tickets are $15 regular, or $13 for stu-

dents and seniors, with $10 previews on Dec. 2, 3 and 4.

The Bernie Legge Theatre is in Queen’s Park. Call 604-521-0412 or email reservations@vagabond players.ca to buy tickets.

ROZZINI’S RESTAURANT There’s a new restaurant in town that is creating quite the buzz. Opened last year, Rozzini’s Restaurant is garnering great reviews thanks to its home style Italian, Indian fusion and Greek cuisine.

Customer favourites, from its extensive menu, includes the melt-in-your-mouth slow roasted roast lamb seasoned to perfecting with traditional spices and its handmade pizza dough with fresh toppings from local produce purveyors – which is fast becoming crowd pleasers. Try the butter chicken, meat special or make your own pizza and you’ll see why customers can’t get enough of its Italian pies!

Add a new dimension to your cat s life

Reprinted from catsinterna<onal.org

Aside from leash-training, there is another way to let your cat enjoy the sjmulajon of being outdoors without the risk of being lost, stolen, or injured–build an outdoor enclosure. It can be any size, but a 6ʹ x 6ʹ x 6ʹ area is sufficient. The verjcal space can be ujlized by awaching perches to the sides of the structure. If the enclosure is against the side of the house, then only three sides plus a wire roof (cats are great climbers!) are necessary.

A pet door will allow the cat free access to the enclosure and eliminate your job as doorman. Solid redwood two-by-fours and 2ʺ x 3ʺ galvanized wire makes a very awracjve play area, but you can choose the NOTE: Cats marked * are special needs.

Contact RCHS for further details.

Max Cat is friendly, social and very playful, and loves having lots of toys around to pounce on. He seems to be more of a “near you” cat than a lap cat. He will gently swat your feet as you walk by and he is smart enough to recognize a few words. Max Cat needs to be the one and only cat in his forever new home and denitely no dogs.

materials that best suits your budget.

The primary requirements are that the structure be sturdy and escape-proof. A wire door will provide access to the inside to clean it and to rearrange the decor from jme-to-jme. Wooden cat trees, logs and other natural items placed inside the pen will give Kiwy choices for perching and scratching.

If the enclosure is not awached to the house, there should be a solid wooden box, or “dog house” inside to provide Kiwy with a safe, dry, place in which to hide, take refuge from a sudden rain shower, or just take a catnap.

It only takes a liwle bit of effort, a small nancial investment in materials, and a liwle bit of imaginajon to add a wonderful new dimension to your cat’s life!

Franny (le�) and Freda are two seven-year old sisters that rst came to the shelter in November 2008 when their human went to hospital and realized he wasn’t going to be able to care for two busy kiwens. They were adopted in about ten days but now the woman who adopted them is too unwell to care for them and they are back at the shelter.

Franny and Freda are extremely playful, affecjonate kives and are a bonded pair so will only be adopted together into a new forever home.

If you’re looking for an excepjonally well adjusted, loving pair of cats, look no further ... these two gals won’t be on the market for very long!

Health Of chronic conditions and how to manage them DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

An important focus of primary care is the management of chronic disease.

This includes high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and chronic lung disease.

The proactive, planned management of these conditions has been shown to reduce complications and hospitalizations, prevent premature death and improve quality of life.

The term, chronic disease carries a negative connotation. I prefer the term chronic condition. After all, each of us shares one chronic condition; it is sexually transmitted, incurable and has a 100 per cent mortality rate.That condition is life.

On good days (and I’m hoping that for you that means most days), you recognize that it’s not all bad.

We don’t choose the conditions of our lives and we don’t deserve misfortune,

but we can choose to make the most of what we have.

We remain agents of positive change.We can learn and do what we can to maintain the best quality of life so that we can pursue our personal dreams and do what is most meaningful to us.

And we can be agents of positive change by helping others struggling with their own chronic conditions, providing the support that we can and empowering them to be active managers of their own lives.

That’s how I see my role as a family physician.

In healthcare, we treat people not medical conditions.We help our patients manage their health in the context of their whole lives.

That management has to be tailored to fit the unique life of each individual.

Doctors and nurses traditionally had the habit of labeling patients with their conditions.They might call the first patient on the operating room slate, “the 7:30

With a new diagnosis of diabetes, some patients are in denial and fail to make lifestyle changes and monitor their condition, while others take on the label of diabetes as a harbinger of impending doom.

With knowledge comes power …

Those with a balanced approach do best.They accept the diagnosis of this chronic condition as lifepreserving and life-enhancing news.They learn what areas of their health require more attention and how lifestyle changes reduce the potential for complications that would otherwise threaten their eyes and kidneys and the circulation to the heart, brain and feet.

With knowledge comes power and a greater sense of control.

HARMONY COURT ESTATE

Invites you to make this a Christmas to Remember for Burnaby & New Westminster Seniors

SeniorsNOW Volunteering brings joy Continued from page 48 Society, Community Centred College of the Re"red, Woman’s Bank Society, South Burnaby United Church Coordinator, the B.C. Seniors Games, Hyack Fes"val, Sapperton Days, 12th Street Music Fes"val and the Anvil Centre.

It’s impossible to list them all, but Der has spent a couple of days each week for most of her life volunteering. That’s on top of raising four kids, working in the charity sector and si!ng on city council in Burnaby, where she lived for more than three decades.

Der gets tremendous joy from volunteering and helping others, and one thing is clear from her infec"ous laugh: the woman is happy as hell.

She has a saying she likes to live by: “Be the kind of woman that each morning when your feet hit the hoor, the devil says, ‘Oh crap, she’s up,’” she says laughing. “He hasn’t got me yet!”

Der especially enjoys the organiza"onal side of most events, helping oversee other volunteers.

“It’s mee"ng the people and ensuring what you give them makes them happy and they enjoy every minute at their volunteer job as I am at mine.

That’s important. It’s important to never waste a volunteer,” she says.

“If they don’t enjoy it, they’re not coming back. If I can make them happy, whew, I’m happy.”

Busy people who think they don’t have "me to volunteer may help others but they don’t think of it as volunteering, according to Der. “(If they’ve) done something for their neighbour, that’s volunteering. And more of them have a misconcep"on of volunteering and what it can be because their life is so busy,” she says. “People get in"midated.”

Besides the obvious benegts to others, Der gets a lot out of helping.

“Friendship, a sense of community, knowing you’re making a di#erence in maybe somebody’s life, enjoyment, giving your life happy moments in your day,” she says.

Der and four Burnaby residents were recently honoured

by Harmony Court seniors’ residence for their outstanding contribu"ons, and Der was chosen in the community category.

“It’s the ini"a"ve to show we care about our outstanding seniors in our community,” said Harmony Court spokesperson Joel Grigg.

Besides the award, recipients received luggage and gi$ baskets.

Harmony Court hosted the awards ceremony on Oct. 1 to mark Na"onal Seniors Day.

SeniorsNOW SFU prof testing softer ?ooring for seniors’ falls A Simon Fraser University professor is teaming up with a local seniors’ home to see if so$er hooring helps reduce injuries from falls, a leading cause of death among elderly adults.

Stephen Robinovitch, an SFU professor in the School of Engineering Science, is working with Burnaby’s New Vista Care Home, where his team has installed “compliant” hooring in half of the care centre’s 150 units for seniors.

“We wouldn’t do the trial unless we expected to see the di#erence,” Robinovitch told The Record. “We’ll know by the results we hope that we will see reduc"ons in injuries due to falls.”

Compliant hooring is the term Robinovitch uses for so$er hooring, similar to the bouncy surface found on some newer playgrounds. Robinovitch thinks the hooring could be used in places for older adults, to help reduce injuries sustained from falls – places like long-term care facili"es, hospitals, geriatric wards and seniors’ centres.

At New Vista, half of the

bedrooms have so$er, compliant hoors, while the other half have control hooring. The clinical trial should be complete in 2017, and Robinovitch is also hoping to gather informa"on on the costs of trea"ng seniors injured in falls to analyze a cost-benegt analysis.

The hypothesis is there may be an opportunity for government to save money by installing these hoors and reducing the costs of trea"ng injuries sustained on harder hoors. The cost of treating seniors falls is $3 billion per year in Canada, and falling is the sixth most common cause of death in seniors, according to the Fraser health Authority.

Fabio Feldman, the Fraser Health Authority’s “fall guru” and fellow SFU professor Dawn Mackey are both working with Robinovitch on the study. No one from New Vista was available to comment by deadline.

But so$er hooring isn’t the only thing Robinovitch is interested in when it comes to researching falls in older adults, something he’s been researching for 20

Robinovitch is also looking at wearable hip protectors, similar to padded undergarments that are recommended in the latest guidelines for hip-protec"on in longterm care facili"es.

Car-Sharing Comes of Age –

With Vancouver Developers on Board

T

he goal is unabashedly lofty: become the “greenest city on the planet” by 2020. And while the jury’s still out on whether Vancouver’s Mayor Gregor Robertson will make his pledge a reality, there’s no question Vancouver has become a poster child for eco-friendly living.

Robertson’s goal also dovetails neatly with the car-light or even car-free lifestyle that’s become a well-documented trend in real estate. As increasing numbers of tech-savvy millennials reject the concept that owning a car equates to a status symbol, forward-thinking developers are finding new designs to give this influential demographic homes that make it easier to meet all their transportation needs through a combination of walking, cycling, transit and Metro Vancouver’s burgeoning carshare programs.

Why Car Sharing is Smart

Like many industry insiders, Brian McCauley, president and COO of Concert Properties, believes providing onsite carshare parking in new developments is smart for many reasons.

“Obviously anything that reduces our carbon footprint is something we should all be looking at. But consider that a parking stall typically costs the homebuyer $20,000 to $30,000 and in downtown Vancouver that could be $50,000. For a demographic that doesn’t see any value in owning a car, the saving adds up to a lot of extra affordability without any sacrifice.”

Then there are the ongoing financial incentives. “Owning a car usually implies a monthly loan payment that immediately reduces the amount of mortgage you’ll qualify for,” says Mark Pribula, general manager of Zipcar in Vancouver, the second car share program to arrive in Vancouver (in 2007 – Modo launched 10 years earlier in 1997). “When you add up other costs like insurance, gas, parking, maintenance and depreciation, our members save, on average, $700 to $1,000 per month per vehicle.”

Heavy-Handed City Move

While most municipalities already give developers who provide car-share parking a break by reducing the number of resident parking stalls required, the City of

Vancouver at one point took the concept one step further. During the rezoning process at Wesgroup’s River District in south-east Vancouver, the developer was not only required to provide parking, they had to provide and pay for the cars as well.

It was a move many in the industry saw as unduly heavy handed.

“I’m a huge fan of car-share programs,” stresses Beau Jarvis, Wesgroup’s senior vicepresident. “However, I’m not a fan of the way the City implemented a requirement that forced us to essentially give the car-share program free cars. And in the discussion about affordable housing, that’s a cost that will ultimately be passed along to the consumer.”

Since then, the City of Vancouver has made car-share spaces an option and offers a variety of incentives to encourage developer uptake. For example, according to corporate communications spokesperson Jag Sandhu, the City may now allow a developer to substitute a single car-share stall for five private parking spaces. Residents save money on the cost of the stall itself as well as being

able to reduce the number of vehicles they own and operate.

Security Concerns

Offering parkade parking does, however, raise what is probably the only significant drawback – how to maintain the security of an underground parkades if the co-op cars are parked there. Jarvis says he believes the City should allow some increase in street parking to compensate.

Alan Woodland, executive director of the Car Sharing Association, says he’s delighted by the way acceptance of car share programs has “exploded” since 2009.

He also sees easy access as an important piece of the homeownership puzzle.

“Upcoming generations of homebuyers wish to have mobility but they don’t wish to own a depreciating asset,” he says. “I believe that in the future, the demand for private cars will continue deceasing as more people opt to live car free or go from two to one car. Paying $20,000 or $40,000 for parking spot that sits empty most of the time doesn’t make sense. So why not use that money towards a better lifestyle?”

Junior Hyacks forge way to B.C. semifinal

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

You could say they handled the spread, and then some.

The New Westminster junior Hyacks stampeded past the Mount Boucherie Bears 76-26 to keep their perfect record intact.

The Hyacks blitzed into the B.C. football Final Four, and face the Seaquam Seahawks today (Thursday), 3 p.m. at Mercer Stadium.The winner advances to the pro-

vincial final at BC Place on Dec. 5.

“It just seemed like we were rolling right from the start, our backfield executed very well,” remarked head coach Darnell Sikorski said of the undefeated squad.

Sammy Sidhu was the catalyst offensively, rambling for nearly 400 yards and five touchdowns as the Hyacks’ offence carved out plenty of running room.

Sidhu scored the game’s first TD, off a 35-yard run, then after the Bears pulled within an unconverted major, he plowed

ahead on a 60-yard dash. In the second quarter, New West erupted for six majors.

Running back RobertsonYagyog scored twice from 22 and 43 yards, Kinsale Philip hit Shane Belsher for a 56-yard TD pass and Sidhu had majors of 59, 78 and six yards to make it 57-20 at the half.

Philip scored on a two-yard QB sneak to start the third, followed by Juan Cespedes’ 10-yard TD carry. Broxx Comia completed the offence with a 60-yard run.

The trio of Sidhu, Comia andYagyog

continues to give the opposition fits, noted the coach, with Sidhu setting the tone.

“It’s kind of pick-your-poison for us.

They’ve all had some big games… We’re very fortunate (Sidhu) is on our side. He’s without question one of our leaders and a good team player.”

The lopsided scores are a result of the process, said the coach. “(Seaquam) has some dynamic athletes like we do, who can change a game,” said Sikorski. “We just need to play our game.”

Defence leads Hyacks into Final Four NewWest vaults over Knights, now one-win away from finals Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Standing their ground, the New Westminster Hyacks’ defence proved to be an anchor that the offence could count on.

In their B.C. High School AAA football quarterfinal against St.Thomas More, the Hyacks’ D accomplished its goal and gave both time and space for the team to pile up points in a 27-13 win at BC Place.

The moments where the offence stalled, the defence played big brother, clamping down on the Knights attack and creating key stops and turnovers.

For a club that chalked up many of its wins with an ‘offence-first’ approach, Saturday’s result was a major step – but not one that was totally unexpected.

“Our defence was really stellar tonight and that Every game really gave us on offence to drive the gets bigger, momentum ball,” said quarterback Jaevery game mie Shiho. “Even when our spark sort of died and gets more we couldn’t put points on pressure. the board our defence was there to spark it back up.

The defence was incredible.”

New West racked up 370 yards to STM’s 175, and looked positively primed to face the Vancouver College Fighting Irish in Saturday’s semifinal, 7:30 p.m. at BC Place.

It was evident early, as the Knights managed little movement and New West’s first few drives stalled inside the 20.

David Penalver put up the first score, a 22-yard run down the right side midway through the first quarter.

Later in the frame, More was stopped in their tracks and Grade 11 Trew Dancey dashed 45 yards to make it 14-0 with a minute left.

The linebacker tandem of Jeff Lugtu and Marcel Wang combined for 12 tackles, with Lugtu tallying seven and a key interception seconds into the second quarter that led to Dancey’s second major. Kevin Osea, meanwhile, pulled down a pair of interceptions and helped silence the Knights passing game.

A penalty would scrub a Michael Thind 25-yard TD catch to start the fourth, but New West made good on its next attempt, when Gurvir Ghuman motored in from 40 yards to give the Hyacks a 27-0 lead.

More put its points up on the board with five minutes left, first with Lucas Dall-Vecchia crashing in from 20 yards, followed by Tyler Eckert’s blocked punt that he corralled and put into the end zone with Continued on page 57

Kiss, Carpenter qualify for B.C.s

Royal City rinks earn berths to Tim Hortons junior curling championships Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The lineup is filling up for the upcoming 2016 Tim Hortons B.C. Junior Curling championships.

And local rinks are taking their share of spots.

Capturing one of the junior men’s Coastal A playdowns was Royal City Curling Club’s Kiss rink, skipped

by Jordan Kiss.

The Kiss rink, which includes third Nicholas Umbach, second Travis Cameron, lead Zachary Umbach and fifth MattYoung, is coached by Craig Lightbody.

Trailing 3-1 after four ends, Kiss recorded points in four straight ends to knock off

the Hagen rink from Cloverdale 5-4 in one of the A finals at the Port Moody Curling Club.

Earlier, they rallied and needed points in each of the final ends to top the Croteau rink from Kerry Park.

The other A final was won

by Victoria’s Team Henderson, the defending junior boys champion.

Another Royal City foursome, led by skip Brayden Carpenter, earned a berth by topping the B qualifier and finishing third overall with a 3-1 record.

It went to 11 ends, where the Carpenter crew scored twice to beat Croteau 8-6.

The team also includes third Tyler Proctor, second Mat-

thew Chan and lead Breyden Chong.

The RCCC’s Mak rink, featuring Horace Mak,Troy Chong, Gordon Clarkson and Bradley Gagnon, finished with a 1-3 record, while the Royal City-Coquitlam team skipped by Hayato Sato wrapped up at 2-3.

Also on the team are Dawson Ballard, Kevin Harbrink, Joshua Miki and Kento Sato.

Another New Westminster team had already locked up a berth to the junior provincials through the B.C. Junior Curling Tour.

RCCC’s Matthew McCrady rink, with third Zac Curtis, second Liam Purgavie and lead Jacob Umbach, secured their spot a week ear-

lier.

Other rinks qualifying through the Coastal playdowns included Team Croteau, through the C event, and in the junior women’s, A event winner Team Coulombe from Victoria, B event winner Team Loken of Delta, and the Jensen rink, which has curlers from Tunnel Town, Juan de Fuca and Parksville.

The provincial junior championships feature eight junior men’s and eight junior women’s teams competing in a round-robin event at Kamloops Curling Club from Dec. 29 to Jan. 3.

The junior men’s and women’s finals will be televised on Sportsnet on Jan. 3.

Hyacks’ test: Van College Continued from page 56 2:56 on the clock.

“I thought it was a decisive win, despite what the score looked like late,” said New West coach Farhan Lalji. “We’ve been a real offensive team the last few weeks, but our defence was fantastic tonight.They gave them nothing… While the game was still in doubt, our D was fantastic.”

The Hyacks are eager to get a second shot at College, who handed them a 49-21 loss in mid-October.

“In the first half (against Van College) we were really able to move the ball I thought on offence. ... In the second half we just lost

the momentum but I think we can play with them, I really do,” said Shiho. “Every game gets bigger, every game gets more pressure but we’re going to do what we do, prepare all week in practice and get into our scouting reports. Nothing changes.”

Coach Lalji concurs.

“I’m not interested in Vancouver College, I’m interested in ourselves. And I don’t mean that with any disrespect. It’s on us. If I worry too much about them it’s like we’re expecting an act of God, and I’m not. If we play our game we can play with anybody.”

This is the team’s first foray into the Final Four since 2009.

Manju Hoonjan stopped five shots and kept Royal City in the game until the late tally.The Riot’s Sarah McCarthy fired two

shots at the Ice net. Also contributing offensively were Ivy Chao and Simran Dhillon.
