tverenca@newwestrecord.ca
The second annual Feast on the Fraser returns to the Royal City tomorrow. The 10-day culinary experience, which runs from Friday Sept. 23 to Oct. 2, pairs up local businesses for an evening of food and fun.There’s a different event happening each night, giving participants a variety of outings to choose from. “It’s just lighting up,” said Tej Kainth, executive director of Tourism New West. “I think we already have two or three events almost sold out.” Feast on the Fraser kicks off with an opening night celebration at River Market, with food from restaurants like El Santo,Wild Rice and Longtail Kitchen. Drinks will be provided by Steel & Oak and Pacific Breeze winery. Sept. 24 will see The Boathouse and Samson V Museum team up. Participants will get to tour the last steam-powered sternwheeler to operate in Canada, followed by champagne and oyster shucking inside the restaurant’s lounge.The next day, there’s a guided food tour along 12th Street that starts at Continued on page 12

Innocent bystanders injured during police action Vancouver police were chasing suspects allegedly involved in a double homicide and kidnapping
By Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
Two innocent bystanders were injured when Vancouver police descended on New Westminster Monday afternoon in pursuit of suspects connected to a double homicide and kidnapping in East Vancouver on the
weekend. The incident happened around 4 p.m. in Sapperton on East Eighth Avenue near Richmond Street and Blair Avenue. New Westminster police officers were called to the scene following reports of a vehicle collision, according to New West Staff Sgt. Chad Johnston.
The collision was connected to an ongoing investigation by Vancouver police into a double homicide and kidnapping in East Vancouver. “We were dealing with multiple suspects, potentially multiple vehicles, we were dealing with an active kidnapping.We had an oppor-
tunity to rescue the victim, unfortunately sometimes we can’t wait and our goal is to rescue that victim without having a third homicide on our hands,” Const. Brian Montague, spokesperson for the Vancouver Police Department, told media at a press conference Tuesday evening.

Two motorists were struck in the crash, including a woman, who suffered a broken wrist and a man who fled his vehicle when heard flash bangs. “It is a very narrow window of opportunity that we had, unfortunately, as a result, we had one man who fled his car after it was
struck – he heard the flash bangs, obviously got very scared – he is a completely innocent person and one of our dogs grabbed a hold of him,” Montague said. The man was still in hospital at press deadlines. The Independent Continued on page 7

More than 275 people, including cancer survivors, took part in the Sunday Sept. 18 event, which raised $11,005 – way more than previous years. It was one of more than 9,000 runs in Canada.

Next stop: SkyTrain changes for New West
Mayor says new transfer points will take some getting used to, but overall benefits outweigh the downside By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
There’s good news and bad news for New West residents accustomed to taking SkyTrain. Beginning Oct. 22, the Expo line will have two routes – one branch will travel between Waterfront and King George stations and another will run between Waterfront and Pro-
duction Way-University stations.The Millennium line will no longer travel to and from Waterfront station, and will now run between VCCClark and Lougheed Town Centre stations, continuing on to the Evergreen extension when it opens later this year. Under the new operating pattern, customers can transfer between Expo and Millennium lines at
Commercial-Broadway, Lougheed or Production Way-University. “Obviously, with the new Evergreen line coming into service at the end of this year, there are going to be some changes on how SkyTrain operation works,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “There will be some impacts to the city of New Westminster, particularly for those residents who
get on the SkyTrain line and like to ride the Millennium line all the way to VCCClark.That will be a connection that will no longer be possible without having to make a transfer. It can be at Lougheed or at Production Way.” Cote said New Westminster strongly advocated for the train to continue as far down the line as possible. While the initial plan was
to end service at Lougheed Town Centre, he’s pleased it’s been extended to the next station on the line – Production Way – as that’s the transfer point for people from New Westminster and Surrey to get to Simon Fraser University. “If you have to go farther than Production Way, you’ll have to get off the train and wait for the next train,” he said. “These changes were
necessary to better integrate into the Evergreen line.” Ian Fisher, manager of operations planning for the B.C. Rapid Transit Company, said the changes are being made to accommodate demand expected on the system and to make the system easier for customers to understand. He said the Millennium line has Continued on page 6

Talk with the animals: Clockwise from above: nine-year-old Christoph wants to give Sally the guinea pig a soft peck; Adriana, 4, makes sure the latch is closed to keep the goats out of the barn; a young goat seeks the high ground; six-year-old Kyle offers up a leaf to the goats.
Furry friends It was time for the annual farewell to the farm animals on Labour Day weekend. The Queen’s Park Petting Farm was open for its last weekend of the season, and local folks didn’t let grey skies stop them from turning out to bid a fond farewell to the goats, pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens and more. The petting farm is open all summer long. It will reopen for the new season in May 2017.

SkyTrain changes
Continued from page 3 confused people for more than a decade because it doubles back through the same station twice, but the changes will create a more straightforward east-west line. Local residents took to Twitter to comment on TransLink’s announcement, with some feeling the changes make sense. Others believe “chaos” will ensue because of the changes and some predict they’ll drive more often. “I think probably when the changes start to come into play at the end of October there probably will be a little bit of confusion, but I know TransLink is going to be putting a lot of effort into communicating the changes and making sure people understand the changes that
occur,” Cote said. “Beyond the first week in change in service, I think the regular users will adapt quite quickly to the changes and understand what’s happening.” Cote said there is definitely a negative impact to New West residents as they won’t be able to travel seamlessly on SkyTrain to VCC-Clark, but local residents will benefit by being able to take the train to the Tri-Cities. “There are some slight drawbacks for SkyTrain users in New West, but I think they are outweighed by the larger benefit of the new accessibility of the new stations on the Evergreen line.” Commuters can visit www.translink.ca to see how their travel plans will be affected come Oct. 22.

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY September 22, 2016 7
City
Labour candidate spent big Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
Labour-supported candidate Dee Beattie had $7,400 more in her coffers than her opponent in the June trustee byelection, according to disclosure statements released by Elections B.C. last week. The two-horse race saw Beattie, a retired education assistant and support worker, take on Mary Lalji, who works in public relations for Key West Ford and volunteers with the Hyack football program, for the seventh trustee seat on the New Westminster school board. In the end, it was Lalji who won the trustee seat by a 60-vote margin, but it was Beattie who spent the most on her campaign; her expenditures were more than $9,500. According to her disclo-
sure statement, Beattie’s contributions topped out at $12,369.98 and included donations from nearly a dozen unions, including $500 from CUPE 409, which represents support staff in the New Westminster school district; $500 from CUPE Metro; $1,000 from COPE; $3,500 from CUPE B.C.; and $600 from the New Westminster and District Labour Council, which also gave her its endorsement. Beattie also received personal donations from New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy and staffer Nadine Nakagawa; Mayor Jonathan Cote; and councillors Bill Harper, Chuck Puchmayr, Patrick Johnstone and Mary Trentadue. Current trustees Kelly Slade-Kerr, Mark Gifford, Jonina Campbell and James Janzen also contributed to Beattie’s campaign. But after the campaign,
Beattie still had a surplus of about $4,000. According to Elections B.C., any surplus of more than $500 must be paid to the city in which the candidate ran.The money is then held in trust for the candidate – in this case Beattie – until the next election. If she chooses to run, her money will be returned to her with interest. If she decides not to run, the funds belong to the city. Lalji, meanwhile, spent $6,195.64 on her winning campaign. She paid for the bulk of her race out of pocket. According to her disclosure statement, she accepted only one donation – $175 from Tej Kainth, executive director of Tourism New Westminster. Lalji, however, told the Record it wasn’t a donation, but rather the cost of Kainth’s leftover signs from her 2014 council bid. Lalji
said she used Kainth’s remaining signs for her own signs to cut costs. Another anomaly on Lalji’s statement is the Surrey address provided. Lalji chose to use the address of a home she owns in Surrey instead of her home address in New Westminster, for privacy reasons. COMMENT ON THIS STORY

Public ‘not at risk’: cops Continued from page 1 Investigations Office (IIO), B.C.’s police watchdog, has confirmed it is investigating the incident. For privacy reasons, the IIO would not say if the bystanders were residents of NewWestminster. Vancouver police have since confirmed three men in their 20s were arrested during the incident in New Westminster and “a number of charges” have been recommended, Montague said. Investigators, however, believe there are still suspects at large. Vancouver police have been investigating since Saturday night when two bodies were discovered in a home on Dieppe Place near Dieppe Drive. Also found in the home was a four-yearold child who was physically
unharmed but hiding from what police have described as a “fairly violent scene,” according to Montague. Both theVancouver and NewWestminster police departments received some criticism on social media for not releasing any information to the public. Montague admitted it’s unusual for theVPD not to release information right away and thanked the public for its patience, adding there’s a difference between providing information because it’s in the public interest and providing information because the public is interested. “In situations where the public are not at risk, obviously we have to balance privacy and investigative tactics with the public’s need and right to know,” he said.
Johnston, meanwhile, said the investigation was in the hands of theVPD and the NewWest department was only on hand to assist and liaise withVancouver officers. “Our goal of course is to keep the citizens of New Westminster safe and secure, which includes keeping them informed and up to date. Unfortunately, due to this dynamic event and subsequent investigation, public updates were not made available as things were unfolding,” he wrote in an email when asked why the local department did not put out any public safety alerts at the time of the incident. More information on the IIO investigation was expected to be released after Record deadlines.

Opinion OUR VIEW
It’s time for a ‘food bank’ tax in Canada
Is it a coincidence that B.C. is seeing more families and seniors depending on food banks to survive and that the province’s minimum wage is $10.85 per hour? Is it a coincidence that the food bank is struggling to keep up with supplying the hungry and that Vancouver is one of the most expensive places in the world to live? You won’t find a Fraser Institute study to support our gut conclusions on hunger in the Lower Mainland, but you will find a lot
of folks who simply don’t care why they’re now forced to depend on food banks to survive. They don’t have the time or political energy to debate the whys and who is to blame on the political spectrum for this situation. It’s all they can do to get up each morning and make sure their kids are fed, or, if they are a senior, that they can make their way to a food bank and carry what they can home. The gap between the haves and have-nots is wid-
ening. And with that gap comes the unfortunate tendency for those who “have” to turn a blind eye to the problem. There was a time in Canada when there were no food banks.We have become so used to food bank drives that we have come to accept them as part of the “normal” way of life. The first food bank was started in 1981 in Edmonton. Now there are hundreds of food banks across the country and thousands of food programs.
According to Food Banks Canada, 13 per cent of Canadians live in a state of food insecurity.They do not have reliable access to adequate amounts of safe, good-quality, nutritious food. The number of people using food banks grew by 26 per cent from 2008 to 2015.We doubt very much it’s dropped since 2015. This is not normal. Or, should we say, this should not be considered normal. If people can’t afford good food because social as-
sistance doesn’t pay them enough to live on, if people can’t afford good food because they can’t live on the minimum wage – more food banks are not the answer. Forcing people to line up for charity to be able to survive is simply not OK. Yes, we support and urge everyone to give to the food bank. We can’t allow neighbours and fellow Canadians to go hungry. But, if we are part of the “haves” in this country, we
should not shrug our shoulders and simply accept this as part of Canadian society. We think a “food bank tax” or “hunger tax” should be part of our tax system. If food banks are here to stay, let’s make sure we all support them – or at least that the “haves” who can deliberate on what wine to have with their prime rib support them. We suspect you won’t find the Fraser Institute supporting that idea, either.
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
Economy may help the NDP
The rosy state of the B.C. government’s financial books is good news for the B.C. Liberals as they seek re-election, but it’s potentially even better news for the New Democratic Party. That’s because there is enough financial elbow room for either party to make big spending promises, without having to raise taxes or tip the provincial budget into deficit. The B.C. Liberals have been hesitant, for years now, to dramatically increase the annual budget of pretty well anything.The health-care system routinely gets an additional half-billion dollars a year, but that basically funds the status quo. The education system gets minor funding increases, as do social service ministries.The government’s three-year fiscal plan shows any budget increase in those areas are projected to be less than five per cent, which maintains the status quo. But the latest quarterly financial update shows the government is now awash in money, and while the next two years may not be quite as robust as the current year, they will still be strong performers and will deliver a lot of additional revenue into government coffers. This year’s surplus is expected to hover around $2 billion (a whopping $1.6 billion higher than forecast), plus there’s another $350 million for a forecast allowance, and a $450 contingency fund that may not have to be tapped into to a signifi-
cant degree. But it’s the government’s forecast for the next two years that will play a factor in how parties put together their election platforms. The total budget surplus for the next two years is forecast to be (for now anyway) about $1.8 billion, plus another $1 billion for the forecast allowances that won’t be used if those surpluses are indeed so huge. This sets the stage for the NDP to make the kind of spending promises that were essentially off-limits in the last election campaign, when government finances were much tighter. The party can now promise significant relief for, say, the K-12 education system, perhaps in the order of hundreds of millions of dollars a year. It can also promise to raise various social assistance rates, lower post-secondary tuition costs, and put even more money into health care – all things they have been demanding of the B.C. Liberal government for years. Of course, the B.C. Liberals can promise to do these things as well, but I suspect they will argue such action would be foolish over the long-term because there is no guarantee the state of the provincial economy could fund these increases once they are embedded in the system.That may be a valid argument, but will enough voters buy it to keep that party in power? Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

First local skateboard park A committee formed to plan New West’s first skateboard park had narrowed the field to two possible locations by July: Mercer Stadium and the west side of Canada Games Pool. Most skateboarders preferred the Mercer location because of its uptown location. City council began looking into building a park after conflicts arose with skateboarders using parking garages, building entrances and other public areas to challenge their skills.

Opinion TRENDING
Granddaughter shares memories of home Kristi Alexandra Thanks for turning a light on this! Great journalism. Definitely part of a patchwork that identifies a bigger problem. Mike Folka It’s tough. I really hope people don’t vilify the current owner. And, in my opinion, the city did what they could to try to save the house. It obviously didn’t work out. But at the end of the day a house is really just a house. It doesn’t make memories. The people who live there do. Martha Flanagan Groenwold Well he tried to save it so just shows what the city values Brad Cavanagh The neighbourhood RA wouldn’t approve the plans to save the house. The city tried to save it, the owner tried to save it (with heritage protection and concessions to build another smaller house on the property) but the neighbours rejected it.

City City, union get set to bargain Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The City of New Westminster is keeping an eye on collective agreements in other cities as it prepares to bargain with CUPE Local 387. The City of Burnaby is the latest city in the region to reach an agreement with its employees, inking a new, four-year collective agreement with CUPE Local 23. That agreement, supported by more than 80 per cent of union members, included a 1.5 per cent wage increase in each of the first two years and a two per cent increase in each of the final two years. “You always want to know what’s going on at different tables, but everybody plays their cards pretty close to their chest, too,” said Joan Burgess, director of human resources for the City of New Westminster. “It’s kind of hard to get information until they’ve got-
ten toward some degree of settlement.What’s interesting to watch is it does look like four-year terms is a bit of a trend.” Burgess said two- and three-year collective agreements have been the norm in the past. She said the city has held a meeting with CUPE and will “get back at it” in a few weeks, after things settle down after summer holidays. “We have really worked on a relationship with CUPE over the years.We have got such a solid relationship,” she said. “Every round of bargaining is challenging, but there’s a lot of respect between the City of New Westminster, as an employer, and CUPE, as a union. Even outside of bargaining, we strive to solve any issues that arise. By the time we get to the table, there’s really good, solid dialogue. I think we can always reach a fair and reasonable settlement.”

City City grapples with ‘moratorium’ on demolitions Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
If you thought there was a moratorium on demolition of heritage homes in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood, you were wrong. Or were you? In June, city council approved a one-year “heritage control period” requiring owners of all single-family residential homes constructed before Dec. 31, 1966 to apply for a heritage altera-
tion permit for demolitions or renovations. Bev Grieve, the city’s director of development services, said there’s been some confusion about the issuance of demolition permits during a temporary heritage control period. “The confusion is that there was a feeling that there was in fact a moratorium on demo permits in the Queen’s Park area,” she said. “What there is, and we have confirmed this with
our solicitor, is there is not an ability to have a straight moratorium on demolitions. In terms of a heritage alteration permits, each one of those permits, every demolition permit, must be considered by council. It is possible for council to look at the heritage alteration permits and reject them.” Grieve noted that if council rejected every application for a heritage alteration permit, it could be considered a de facto moratorium.
On Monday, council approved a number of recommendations related to the Queen’s Park heritage control period.These include: ! endorsing some new evaluation criteria for demolitions, new building and renovation heritage alteration permits; ! requiring a heritage assessment for all demolition and major renovation applications in the neighbourhood; and ! convening a review pan-
el to consider the demolition application and new building heritage alteration permit applications. Council also directed staff to use the new evaluation criteria to consider two demolition applications the city has received in the neighbourhood. On Aug. 29, council received staff reports recommending approval of demolition permit applications for buildings at 215 Manitoba St. and 105 College Ct.
Monday’s report triggered a lively discussion in council chambers. Councillors Bill Harper, Jaime McEvoy and Chuck Puchmayr voted against the staff recommendation, while Cote and councillors Patrick Johnstone, Mary Trentadue and LorrieWilliams supported it.

Feast on the Fraser includes long-table dinner in park
Continued from page 1 D Roti Shak and ends at Gospa’s Delightful Food, a new Eastern European deli. On Sept. 26, HUB Restaurant will serve a threecourse tapas dinner featuring preserves from the Vista D’Oro and entertainment by the Arts Council of New Westminster and the Douglas College Performing Arts department. Wild Rice’s chef Dante Ramos will be hosting a
cooking demo on Sept. 27. Students will pick up some basic knife skills, learn how to butcher a salmon, create old-fashioned garnishes from the days of the King Neptune restaurant, all while learning about the city’s salmon industry, courtesy of New Westminster’s Museum and Archives. A three-course dinner will follow. Back by popular demand is the paint and sip night
on Sept. 28 at 100 Braid St. Studios, which includes drinks, appetizers and art. Attendees will get to re-create historical New Westminster signs with The FAT Paint Company. Other Feast on the Fraser events include a pizza and beer night, a long-table dinner at Tipperary Park, a dinner cruise, a 60-minute barre class and night of music and entertainment at Match Eatery and Public
House, celebrating the gold rush days of the Fraser River.Tickets are either $25, $45 or $65, depending on the event. Kainth started Feast on the Fraser last year as a way to bring awareness to what New West has to offer. Her ultimate goal is to make it into a regional dine-out program that would include other communities along the river. “I would love to see res-
taurant or chef takeovers, or chef competitions in a couple of years, things like that,” she said. “Businesses are saying, ‘You know what, we’ve been wanting to work with that other business, and we never got a chance to.’ Feast on the Fraser gives these businesses that chance.” Sourcing local ingredients is another important aspect of Feast on the Fraser, Kainth added.This year,
thanks to a partnership with The Fraser Valley, participating businesses had to source at least one ingredient from a Langley, Abbotsford or Chilliwack farm. Kainth anticipates 2016 to be a sellout year. “I think we’ve really elevated our food scene here. I’m just so amazed and excited for what we have to offer starting Sept. 23,” she said.

El Santo serves up fundraiser for autism Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The owner of El Santo restaurant hopes his business can make a difference in the lives of autistic children in B.C. Alejandro Diaz is organizing an upcoming fundraiser for the Canucks Autism Network. It’s a charity that hits close to home for the father of three boys: sevenyear-old Harrison, six-yearold Parker and two-year-old Beckett. “Parker is on the spectrum,” he said. “He was diagnosed earlier this year. It’s quite a long process.” As the father of a child on the autism spectrum, Diaz wants to raise awareness about the developmental disorder and funds for the Canucks Autism Network. His family has learned firsthand about the lengthy waitlists to get an assessment and the need for supports such as speech therapy and behaviour consultants for children with autism. “He’s a smart guy. His social skills is what he has to work on,” he said of Parker. “On the spectrum, there are different levels. Some kids cannot talk.” The Canucks Autism Network provides sports, recreational, arts and social programs for individuals and families living with autism and seeks to increase awareness and provide training in communities across British Columbia. Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental disorder that’s diagnosed based on communication and behavioural challenges, but these traits vary greatly from person to person on the spectrum.
“I was looking for a charity that would have similar values.We found that they are great partners,” Diaz said. “Having a kid that is autistic, there are so many programs that are not funded. It’s the funding for these, and also the awareness. Sometimes people see kids with autism and they think they are just misbehaving kids.They are just wired a little different.” Along with being judged for their behaviours, kids with autism are sometimes excluded from some social activities with their peers, he said. “Something that breaks my heart is for a six-yearold to come and say, ‘I was not invited to a party because such and such does not want to invite ‘bad kids.’ Sometimes the parents tell kids they cannot invite such and such because he’s not a good kid,” Diaz said. “It’s not that he is not a good kid.” The Oct. 2 fundraiser at El Santo will include live musical entertainment, a five-course pairing dinner (the drinks are a surprise), guest speakers, a chance to mingle with other supporters in the autism network and live and silent auctions. The live auction prize features a dinner for two at El Santo, a one-night stay at the Fairmont Pacific Rim, two tickets to a Vancouver Canucks’ game and a signed Canucks jersey. Tickets are $125 and available at El Santo, 680 Columbia St., or at www. eventbrite.ca (search for El Santo CAN). “It is going to be a fun night,” Diaz said. “There’s going to be a learning part. Good food, good music and lots of surprises.”

A contemporary spin on Mexican cuisine Five things to know about El Santo restaurant: Alejandro Diaz opened the restaurant at 680 Columbia St. in December 2015 to showcase food from his homeland. “When I think of Mexican food, I think of fresh, I think about diversity. Most people know Mexican as tacos and enchiladas. I wanted to show the contemporary part of Mexican food,” he said. “If you go to Mexico City, you will

find El Santo in Mexico City.” Diaz is committed to supporting the local economy as much as possible – whether it’s buying tables from a local supplier, produce from vendors at the Royal City Farmers Market or toilet paper from Kruger. El Santo, which is Spanish for The Saint, is making a name for itself among diners around Metro Vancouver.

“What is really nice about that is it is not just good for me, it’s good for the community,” Diaz said. “We have regulars from West Vancouver, Richmond. They come once or twice and then they bring their friends. It’s good for New West.” All of the tortillas are made fresh at the restaurant. A crane was needed to load the 1,500-kilogram tortilla machine into the
restaurant. Industrial tortilla machines aren’t too common in Canada, which made it challenging for the Canada Standards Association to certify the machine. Because the technicians had “never seen anything like that,” Diaz had to show them a video on how the tortilla machine works so they could assess its safety and certify the device.

Fifth annual Mushtari Begum Festival brings top Canadian and Indian performers to the Massey Tereza Verenca
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
Before Cassius Khan’s music teacher passed away in 2004, she had one wish – that he keep her name alive. For the last five years, the New West resident and his wife Amika Kushwaha have done exactly that. The Mushtari Begum Festival (named after Khan’s guru) returns to the Massey Theatre on Sept. 24 for the fifth year in a row.The evening showcases Indian classical music and dance through a variety of performances, including some by the husband-andwife duo. Khan told the Record one misconception people have about the genre is that it’s boring. “They think it’s very la la land or very ambient kind of music, but it’s not. It’s very exciting, very thrilling.
All the musicians who come have a very high skill level. They play their instruments with a lot of vigour,” he said. Khan, who plays the tabla, explained that Indian classical music and dance is split into two categories – north and south.The genre in the northern part of the country is vastly different from the south, he said. Representing the south this year will be Abhishek Iyer, a master of the mridangam drum, and Kaushik Sivaramakrishnan with the Carnatic violin. Khan’s tabla is from the north, as is the sitar, the most-recognizable instrument from that region (George Harrison of the Beatles played it). Sitar maestro Sharanjeet Mand will also be on stage. A special guest will also be making an appearance, noted Khan. Salil Bhatt, who invented and plays a 20-string slide guitar known

Arts & Entertainment Festival pays tribute to guru Continued from page 14 it to be fitting to have him again for 2016 for the fiveyear anniversary,” Khan said. Kushwaha, who has danced since she was six years old, will be performing a form of dance called kathak, in a duet with Khan. “Whatever the tabla plays, the kathak dancer basically makes those notes come alive through dance. It’s a very beautiful interaction. There’s dazzling footwork, stunning pirouettes and a lot of amazing body movement,” he said. The Mushtari Begum
Festival originally launched as a way of “revitalizing and reenergizing” the genre, according to Khan, who said Indian classical music in Canada has seen “a major decline.” He added often times, world musicians don’t have a platform to perform and show off their craft. “This makes it very difficult for musicians in the professional field, like myself, to present our art and survive in this country.” Most importantly, though, he wanted to keep his promise to his guru. “It took a number of
years, but I’m doing it now,” said Khan. The Sept. 24 show at Massey Theatre, located at 735 Eighth Ave., gets underway at 6:30 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets cost $29.50 for adults and $14.50 for seniors and students (plus patron fee and service charges).

Make Your Renovation Dreams Come True
Bob DeWit l CONTRIBUTION WRITER It is important to hire professionals to transform your largest financial investment into the home you will enjoy for many years to come. Just as you would reach out to professionals to manage your other investments, I recommend working with professional renovators to protect your home investment. Speaking with multi award-winning GVHBA renovator-member Ralph Belisle of TQ Construction, Ralph shared a recent project with me which exemplifies the leading edge work our members offer homeowners. As the story goes, the family had lived in their home for 20 years. They decided to move into a new home with more space, but it was never quite right – so they turned back and renovated the home they loved. Neo-Georgian style with a 20 year-old design, TQ Construction blended features the owners sought out in a new home with the desired upgrades.
for curb appeal and light - both done with minimum heat gain. Originally thought to be a den for the husband, the space provided perfect acoustics and environment for the wife’s love of music. This attic renovation highlights the contributions professional renovators make toward advancements in building science and how experience brings subtle touches to the overall success of the project in reaching the homeowners’ goals. Don’t worry, the husband got his den too – it was just relocated to the main floor. A great way to connect homeowners with professional renovators is at the GVHBA Home Reno Shows. Consumers can talk face-to-face with local, award winning professional contractors, designers and other renovation-related product and service suppliers. Visit www.ghvba.org to find out what events are happening near you.
One of the major features of the renovation included a redesign of the attic into usable space. The open attic concept required a new roof support designed to be capable of holding a typical roof load weight without using vertical beams. The process involved development and methodology to improve the structural integrity of the NeoGeorgian style home without affecting the existing structure, while making the space livable and meeting current building code standards. TQ Construction also recommended placement of large skylights to be placed on north side to allow for natural light, and smaller gable windows used on the south side

Community Knox Presbyterian celebrates 125 years in town AROUND TOWN
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Knox Presbyterian Church is welcoming community members to its 125th anniversary open house and worship this weekend. The church has been located at 403 East Columbia St. since it was founded in 1891. “One of the things we are very proud of is our building has stood for 125 years, the full 125 years, at that historical location,” said Minister Richard Watson. “We really want to get involved with the community.” The church is currently home to meeting spaces for
groups like Scouts and Beavers, as well as community organizations and Zumba classes. Until earlier this year, it had provided space for an out-of-school program. The church continues to attract attention with messages posted on the sign in front of the church – some that have been spread far and wide on social media like Twitter and Facebook. “We get tons of feedback,”Watson said. “Almost always, especially within the past year, it’s positive. People love to drive by and look and see if there is a new one there. It really is one of our big industries, you could say.” Knox Presbyterian Church is inviting anyone who has attended the

Sports and leisure were a big hit in Royal City south off the bridge.This, as we remember, was in the 1960s and was a small format nine-hole course that was a lot of fun. On Eighth Street at Third Avenue there was a miniature golf business in operation that was very popular.This was in the 1930s and followed a popular fad in North America at that time. There was a golf course amongst the trees in Moody Park in the late 1890s, and, from what we can ascertain, it was a very popular spot. Part of the area was shared with a target shooting club, which created some interesting rules that attempted to keep the golfers safe. Oh, yes, and sheep were allowed to graze in the park to keep the grass down for the golf club on the condition they be herded properly and not interfere with the public use of the park! And there is a bit more golf to report. Although it never happened, the city

When we were coming home from Queensborough recently, we noticed walls of containers stacked where a golf course used to be near the bridge approach.That turned the conversation to sports or recreational facilities that were once popular in the city but are no more. In the early 1900s, curlers took part in their sport on ice, when it was available, at the early skating rink in Queen’s Park. Later a curling club was built near the foot of 16th Street, where curlers enjoyed their time prior to the current Royal City Curling Club being constructed.The old club building, last time we looked, is still there, but now stores paper products for Kruger Paper. The golf course already mentioned was near the Queensborough Bridge on your right as you drove
in the 1930s was interested in the possibility of the development of a golf course on the large piece of land bounded by Sixth and Eighth streets, Eighth and 10th avenues.This is home today to the New Westminster Secondary School – lots of talk of former cemeteries, and much community discussion. There was free camping for “auto tourists” in Queen’s Park back in the 1920s.The Gyro Club developed a tourist camp that welcomed the new “driving” tourist who ventured off to visit B.C. in a new automobile. One summer there were 1,370 cars registered, which held 5,300 people representing 37 states and five provinces and produced more than $935 in fees for the city treasury. However, they had to close the camp’s driveway and others in the park because people learning to drive were damaging the lawns and trees.

New West performers honoured at awards gala Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY
jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca
Two New Westminster performers were honoured at the recent Community Theatre Coalition Awards. The two won for their work in Drama Natrix Productions’ The It Girl last year. Dimitrios Stephanoy won the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role – Musical, while Robin Sukorokoff earned Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role – Musical. Theirs were two of nine awards earned by the DramaNatrix Productions show, which took to the stage at Studio 1398 on Granville Island last October. The show also earned Best Production and Best Direction honours. Congratulations to all! AN INTROVERT’S ART Art lovers, be sure to stop by the Plaskett Gallery be-
fore the end of the month. Inside/Outward, an exhibition of work by Peter Kohut, is on at the gallery at Massey Theatre until Sept. 30. Kohut’s work looks at the subject of human interaction, through “weirdly distorted and morphing figures in confusing spaces.” “For an introverted person, meeting other people is often fraught with anxiety. This anxiety is processed into these paintings,” a press release notes. In an artist statement, Kohut says he makes art to feel a connection to the world. “The act of painting helps me to process how I feel about my sphere of daily life. Painting forces me to engage with the present, to be actively aware of the now: my feelings, thoughts and events,” he said. The Plaskett Gallery is open 1 to 5 p.m.Tuesday through Saturday, and during performances at the theatre.The gallery and theatre are at 735 Eighth Ave. See www.masseytheatre.

his April Holland America has 4 ships repositioning from Florida to Vancouver with the best current deal being aboard the ms DAVE Oosterdam with our 23 night package for $4599 CAD pp. FRINTON This price includes air from Vancouver to Tampa, 1 night in Co-Founder & President, a 4 star hotel, 22 nights in a balcony stateroom (with a small CruisePlus onboard credit) and all taxes leaving April 6th. Ask about spoiling yourself in a suite or, if you’re not as concerned about your stateroom, then the prices are quite a bit lower for insides and outsides. This is a great itinerary and a nice mix of port and sea days. Don’t forget to take advantage of the specialty restaurants which I think are more than worth the extra cost. Packages which include up-front drinks and/or gratuities can be worth it and our consultants will guide you to the best value.

The Ewen Avenue streetscape enhancement project isn’t the only work being done in Queensborough. During city council’s Sept. 12 meeting at the Queensborough Community Centre, city staff gave an update on the streetscape project that’s been underway since 2013. Phase 2 is nearing completion and
phase 3 will begin in 2017. “It’s not the end of the work in Queensborough,” said Roger Emanuels, the city’s manager of infrastructure and design. “We do have a couple of other projects that are going to happen before the end of this year.” Emanuels said the city will be upgrading an asphalt sidewalk on Salter Street, between Gifford and Jardine, to provide a walkway for students heading to and

Hyacks Homecoming 2016 features plenty of family fun Don Hauka
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
Usually, it’s the vanquished who have to throw in the towel in a turf war. But at Hyacks Homecoming 2016, that’s one of the perks of victory. One of the highlights of Hyacks Homecoming 2016 is the F.G. Richards Sr. Memorial Tug-of-War competition.The contest pits teams from city hall, the New Westminster and District Labour Council, Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation and New Westminster School District against each other to see who has the most pull in the Royal City. And this year, the winner gets something in addition to the coveted F.G. Richards Sr. Memorial trophy, bragging rights and the odd blister: a commemorative football towel provided by event sponsor Key West Ford. “This is towel power at its best,” said Hyacks Football head coach Farhan Lalji. “These towels are a symbol of the incredible com-
munity support Homecoming enjoys, powered by New West’s unique Royal City spirit.” The New Westminster and District Labour Council’s “More Than They Bargained For” squad beat Mayor Jonathan Cote’s “New West City Haulers” in the finals last year. And while Cote may not get the last word after all the pulling is done this Friday, he will get the first words when he proclaims Sept. 23 Hyacks Homecoming Day in the City of New Westminster.The mayor will read the proclamation
just before the competition commences. Hyacks Homecoming 2016 “New Look, New Ground, New West” kicks off at 4 p.m. with the alumni football game. Pre-game family-fun starts at 4:30 p.m. and features on-field kids’ activities like the bouncy castle and balloon artist Mr. Bubbles.You can also buy a raffle ticket for a chance to win a car provided by event sponsor Key West Ford. The varsity squad takes on the Carson Graham Eagles, with kickoff at 7:30 p.m.

TESTIMONIAL: “The moment I first contacted Bryn to help me find a new home I was immediately taken by her knowledge of the area. Most importantly, I feel that Bryn is someone who is good at reading people, and has an implicit understanding of what they are after, even if they don’t know it themselves! Finding a new home with Bryn felt like a seamless process, and her positive attitude and personality made a sometimes laborious experience fun and exciting. I would have no trouble recommending Bryn to whomever is wishing to make New Westminster their new home.” ~ Mick C.

very seven minutes, another Canadian suffers a heart attack. Every twelve minutes, someone has a cardiac arrest. As many as nine out ten of us have at least one risk factor for heart disease or stroke, and heart disease remains among the leading causes of death. Thankfully, more of us can survive cardiovascular problems these days. Advances in the care available at heart centres like Royal Columbian Hospital offer patients a better chance to recover from their conditions. As the busiest cardiac care centre in the province, Royal Columbian performs high volumes of open heart surgery and interventional procedures like angioplasty, serving one in three British Columbians across the largest and fastest growing health region in BC. A critical component of the hospital’s cardiac care is the catheterization lab. With its two cath lab suites, Royal Columbian cares for cardiac emergencies from across Fraser Health — an area stretching from Burnaby to Boston Bar, including more than 1.7 million residents. Today, these much-used cath labs are in need of full upgrades to introduce the latest life-saving technology and make sure Royal Columbian continues to deliver the highest level of care to some of the most seriously ill and injured patients in the province. Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation is seeking your help to bring the latest, most advanced technology to the hospital’s cardiac catheterization lab. With your help, the Foundation is raising $3.3 million to upgrade our two cath lab suites with new technology and equipment, focusing on two areas: imaging equipment and hemodynamic monitoring technology. Both are essential components of the lab and work in tandem to provide accurate information for safe and efficient patient care.

Want to have a little fun building a city? All you need is some cardboard and some imagination. River Market is hosting a New West edition of the Global Cardboard Challenge on Sunday, Oct. 2. The Global Cardboard Challenge is an annual event presented by the Imagination Foundation to celebrate child creativity. (See www.cardboard challenge.com for more on that.) So what can you do to take part? It’s easy. Just turn out to River Market next Sunday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and help build a city out of cardboard. You can bring along a creation you’ve built at home, or you can build your own creation at River Market (supplies will be on hand) or add to someone else’s creation. Or you can just stay and play. If you need some card-
board in the meantime to start working on a creation at home, pop by the River Market admin office (upstairs, on the second floor) and they can help you out. Check out www.river market.ca for all the details, or just turn out to take part in the fun.

Metro Vancouver Housing Starts and Building Permits See Summer Slump: Reports
T
he number of new homes breaking ground in the Vancouver Metropolitan Area (CMA) trended lower in August than in the previous month, levelling off after what had been a busy few months for home building, according to a Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) report released September 9. Housing starts were trending at 28,108 units in August compared with 30,333 units in July. The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. “While actual housing starts remain well above levels recorded in 2015, August did see a dip in the trend for the first time this year,” said Robyn Adamache, CMHC principal market analyst for Vancouver. “Large multi-unit condo projects in Burnaby, Coquitlam and Vancouver account for just over half of all new residential starts
in August.” Housing starts in the Abbotsford-Mission CMA were trending at 1,005 units in August, down from 1,241 units in July. Across Canada, the trend fell to 195,640 units in August compared with 201,379 in July as the summer slowdown was seen throughout the nation. “Housing starts declined in August, as construction of multi-unit dwellings slowed in most regions, led by lower activity in Alberta and Manitoba,” said Bob Dugan, CMHC’s chief economist. “However, housing market activity levels remain elevated and this decline in starts is the market’s response to increasing levels of supply. Multi-unit inventories are above average in several major markets across the country.” CMHC said it uses six-month moving averages to account for considerable swings in
monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, said the CMHC, analyzing only the monthly seasonally adjusted data can be misleading in some markets, as they can be variable from one month to the next.
Building Permits
The CMHC’s August housing starts figures were released a day after Statistics Canada published its July home building permit values September 8. New home construction permits in Vancouver in July 2016 were valued at just over $435 million, according to the federal statistics agency – a year-over-year decline of 44 per cent, although a rise of 22 per cent over June’s even greater slump. July saw $151 million worth of singlefamily-home permits issued, down 5.9 per cent year over year, and condo-apartment

NEW WESTMINSTER’S FULL SERVICE REAL ESTATE OFFICE
permits worth just shy of $239 million were issued, an annual drop of 55.5 per cent. Across the whole province, $713 million of residential building permits were issued in July – a very slight rise over the $708 million seen in June, but a 31.4 per cent fall year over year. Kelowna was the only BC centre surveyed to see a year-over-year increase, nearly doubling with an annual rise of 94.8 per cent, whereas Abbotsford-Mission and Victoria saw the value of their residential building permits issued drop compared with last July, down 57.3 per cent and 20.8 per cent respectively. Across Canada, the value of residential building permits was down 18.3 per cent year over year, and 4.5 per cent from June, to $4.01 billion. Of all the provinces and territories, Alberta once again saw the steepest year-overyear fall in the value of residential building permits nationally at 36.6 per cent.

Shoppers could buy one to donate and add their own selection of perishable items. But that was just one donation stream. Roughly 600 volunteers from the B.C. Thanksgiving Drive helped by leaving 38,000 donation bags on people’s doorsteps.

The GreaterVancouver Food Bank’s first-ever citywide donation drive pulled in more than 40,000 pounds of food to help feed people who are hungry. The drive covered Burnaby, NewWestminster,Vancouver and NorthVancouver – the four municipalities in the food bank’s catchment area. “While we didn’t meet our ambitious target, what I can say is a day ago we didn’t have 42,000 pounds of food in our warehouse waiting to be sorted,” said Ariela Friedmann, the food bank’s communications director. “We appreciate the community’s support.This is such a win.” The drive was held on Saturday, Sept. 17. Burnaby residents donated 15,217 pounds of food, and the Save-On-Foods on King-
people weekly for one year. The GreaterVancouver Food Bank distributes roughly four million pounds of food annually to Burnaby, NewWestminster,Vancouver and the North Shore. The food bank organized the citywide drive to coincide with the kickoff for Hunger AwarenessWeek, which runs Sept. 19 to 23. “The reality is, hunger awareness is not a week; it is a reality every day, 365 days a year,” Friedmann said. The end of summer is also a time when the food bank’s shelves “thin out,” Friedmann added. Anyone who wants to donate but missed the drive can contribute by visiting the food bank’s website at www.foodbank.bc.ca. Donating money is usually the best way to help, as the food bank can buy direct and in large volumes, which stretches each dollar to three times its value.

Fishermen with faith founded church By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Mount Zion Lutheran Church may have been founded by Norwegian fishermen, but it’s become a melting pot for folks from various cultures and religions. The church is celebrating its 125th anniversary this weekend, making it the oldest Lutheran congregation in New Westminster. “It’s an interesting mix of people,” said Marlys Moen, who has been the church’s pastor for 14 years. “It was initially founded by Norwegian fishermen. Its first name was Nidaros, which is after the big cathedral in Trondheim in northern Norway.When they moved up here they changed the name. Downtown it was called Nidaros.” Nidaros was located at two sites in downtown New Westminster for many years, before the congregation raised funds and moved into a new building at 930 Cumberland St. in 1958. At the time, the Massey Victory Heights neighbourhood was still bush and was just starting to be developed. In the 1960s, Mount Zion’s membership grew to more than 1,000 people, with two or three services needed to accommodate everyone.The church, which merged with Immanuel Lutheran Church in 1990, has attracted people
I
from many different ethnic backgrounds. “We still do have a Norwegian immigrant in the congregation who came in the ’50s, but it still is an immigrant congregation,” Moen said. “There’s probably about 20 different languages spoken as a first language in the congregation – Polish, Hungarian, Swedish, Norwegian, English and all these different African dialects that get spoken here as well.” Moen estimates about one-third of the church’s members are from South Sudan, something that’s led its members to have greater involvement in raising funds to assist those in need in the African country.The congregation has been active in sponsoring refugee families and has been a place where many government-sponsored refugees have felt at home. “There is an openness and welcoming here,” Moen said. “We had a Muslim family that came here to worship, not just for the coffee time after church. The mother didn’t speak much English at all, but one time she told me it was a safe place to pray.” Women in the congregation continue to devote hundreds of hours every year to preparing quilts and baby layettes and providing school supplies for people in need locally and throughout the world. It’s believed to be the only place in town

In addition to a special Sunday worship this weekend, Mount Zion is having a 125th anniversary gathering at the church on Saturday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. that will include a slide show of the church’s history and a time for people to visit and share stories. Mount Zion isn’t the only local church celebrating a milestone this weekend, as Knox Presbyterian Church is also celebrating its 125th anniversary this weekend.

New West aims to do Homecoming up right
Hyacks amp up hopes with convincing win to round out preseason Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
You hear that buzz? It could be a late summer hive of bees stirring up a ruckus near Tenth Avenue and Sixth Street, but this buzz is more along the lines of a forceful movement and ensuing anticipation. Local football fans have reason to be excited about this year’s New Westminster Hyacks, with last year’s impressive run to the B.C. semifinals, a provincial junior title, and recent exhibition victories adding to the ammunition.The players – a skilled mix of experience, youth and positional strengths – are poised and excited for the new season. On Friday, the Hyacks put it all on the line in the B.C. High School senior AAA football season opener when they host Carson Graham, 7:30 p.m. at their annual Homecoming game at Mercer Stadium. The team embraces its official launch, with pregame events and celebratory ambience. But head coach Farhan Lalji knows that while it’s a special night, his players need to be as prepared and focused for the on-field battle as if it was played on Mars. “It’s a showcase event for the program, the school and community, because you get everyone there,” Lalji said of the Homecoming affair. “We certainly try to take the pressure off the players but they all know what it’s about.They’ve been there.” Prior to getting ‘there,’ the Hyacks tuned up in the final exhibition game by dousing the G.W. Graham Grizzlies 51-19 last week, layering it on after stalling out on their first possession. Once they got going, the squad put on a show – racking up five touchdowns over 12 plays in the first half. Seven different players counted touchdowns, beginning with Trew Dancey’s oneyard run on the team’s second possession. Sammy Sidhu followed that with a 64-yard dash, newcomer Prento Durigon hauled down a Kinsale Philip pass, and Mohammed Abdi carried the ball 18 yards for another major – all before the first quarter was done.The first three TDs were capped with two-point converts. New West upped its lead to 37-0 in the second quarter when Philip connected with Shane Belsher on a 44-yard TD pass.

Graham got on the scoreboard off a 53yard passing play, but the Hyacks came out in the second half and reclaimed the momentum on a pair of drives, with Lucas Sabau scoring on a four-yard run, and Broxx Comia driving in from five-yards out. Belsher finished with 78 total yards receiving and 6-foot-5 tight end Durigon made two catches for 51 yards. On defence, Sidhu recorded four tackles and a quarterback sack, while Connor Pattison tallied three tackles, an assist and a sack. While the Grizzlies put up the final two touchdowns of the night – both in the fourth quarter – it didn’t take away from the dominating performance by the visitors. “Graham is a good team and we knew they were missing a few key starters,” remarked Lalji. “But at the same time they have a pretty impressive line and they were all there.We were able to get a handle on that, and that was really the battle we need-
ed to win.” Also unleashed was Philip, who as a Grade 10 has claimed the starting QB role, edging out Gr. 12 Matthew Thind. He completed six of 12 pass attempts for 139 yards, including two for majors, and looked in control. The Hyacks coach said the 5-foot-11 pivot who piloted last year’s junior team to a provincial championship proved his mettle during practice and exhibition tests. “Kinsale is our starter. It wasn’t that he completely outplayed Matthew, but (Philip) earned it.We didn’t want to go out and say ‘Let (the battle for starting QB) play itself out’ to start the season. “We did that in 2014 and gave the players a chance to take the job. But what happened was neither did. It didn’t work for the players and it didn’t work for the team.” Another element that buoys hope for a strong playoff contender is how many weap-
ons the club has in the backfield – with six legitimate ball carriers capable of leading a long march. “We’re comfortable giving the ball to any of the six, and with the style of offence we run we need that,” said Lalji. Sidhu, who was a standout last year with the juniors while also playing a role at the senior level, only got one carry but turned it into a 64-yard major. Sabau took the handoff twice and rolled up 83 yards, including a 79-yard dash. Abdi, who like Durigon transferred to New West from Moscrop after that program folded, racked up 67 yards on four carries. “Mohammed is new to the program but he’s got all the tools.There’s an adjustment coming here but he’s making an impact and working hard.” In the end, hard work will reveal all. And it all starts Friday, 7:30 p.m. at Mercer Stadium.
Chiefs lineup well-stocked for a major midget run Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
There are enough similarities between this year’s roster and the 2014-15 championship lineup to give Vancouver Northeast Chiefs’ head coach Jamie Jackson cause for pause. The cyclical nature of B.C. Major Midget Hockey doesn’t often lead to an encore, but with a lot of key pieces in place – like a mix of veterans, strong netminding, depth up front and on the blueline – there’s reason to believe. With the new season slated to
start this weekend (although the Chiefs enjoy a bye), Jackson feels his club has all the ingredients needed to be in the mix. “I think we’ll be battling the (Cariboo) Cougars for first place, if everything plays out,” said Jackson of his squad, which draws players from east Burnaby, New Westminster, the Tri-Cities and Ridge-Meadows. “Of course, you have to play the games and there are a lot of unknowns, but this team is coming together.” The 2014-15 run had solid leadership, talent and momentum that seemed to build off a strong
effort at the Calgary Mac’s midget tourney, and barrelled through the rest of the schedule on a mission. Improving on last year’s sixthplace showing, with a 17-15-8 record, is the first goal. This year’s roster has its leaders, with two key players hailing from New West and Burnaby. Forward Liam Ryan, a Royal City product, is an impact player who’ll supply leadership both on and off the ice, said Jackson. “He’s back from (the Western Hockey League’s Prince George Cougars camp) fired up and ready to play a big role,” noted the
coach. “Last year we didn’t have a large veteran presence and he took it upon himself to be a leader. “(Ryan) brings a big-body presence and some high-end skills, and we expect him to be one of our top scorers.” As a 15-year-old, he tallied eight goals and 21 assists in 36 games. This year, the sky’s the limit. Burnaby’s Jonny Sheardown will aim to pick up where he left off after leading the blueliners with four goals and 23 assists. “He certainly is an offensiveminded guy, who will be a key to our powerplay,” said Jackson. “We
expect huge things from Jonny.” The roster also has three local rookies making their major midget debut Sept. 30 when the club opens the season against the South Island Royals. Burnaby defenceman Juliano Santalucia is making the move up after winning the Western Canadian bantam title with BWC last spring. Goalie Jonathan Holloway, a New West native, and Burnaby’s Christian Buono, a skilled forward, are graduates from the Burnaby Winter Club’s Elite 15 program. Continued on page 38

BC boxla snare silver Team B.C. walked away with some silver two weeks ago in a pair of field lacrosse championships in Winnipeg. The B.C. under-15 boys squad was edged 13-9 by Ontario in the Alumni Cup final, with a similar result fated to the B.C. u18 side in an 11-8 defeat, also at the hands of Ontario, in the First Nations Trophy final. The u15 squad included Burnaby’s Thomas Vela and New Westminster’s Noah Armitage. The u18 roster featured New West’s Parker Johnson and Liam MacDonald. Both squads were coached by Bryan Poole.
CHIEFS SET FOR MAJOR START Continued from page 37 “This group is very balanced, with four pretty good lines and that’s a luxury you don’t get at this level often,” said Jackson. In a pair of exhibition tests,Vancouver – which plays its home games at Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports Centre – beat the Everett junior Silvertips 6-1, with the line of Ethan Leyh, Brett Didyk and Liam Everson accounting for six points, while Zach Dallazanna tallied twice. This weekend they head to Kelowna to play the Okanagan Hockey Academy’s under-18 team.

GRAHAM, Isabelle McGivern Our proud and feisty Mother, Mother-in-Law, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Aunt and friend to all, died peacefully early in the morning of Monday, September 12th, 2016. She was born on December 17, 1925 in New Westminster and lived there all her life, almost 91 years.
She was determined, positive and never gave in to self pity or complaints. She taught us all that perseverance and a wicked sense of humour could get a person through anything and she was the first one to help anyone who needed a hand. She spoke often about one of the greatest things that she ever did was to move into Thornebridge Gardens in New Westminster, long before she really required any assistance. She loved the friends that she made there and would always fill a little bowl of candy outside her door every Saturday morning for all to enjoy. Her greatest pride in life however, was her family and all their pets; her sons, Jim (Barbi), Howard and John, and precious grandchildren Jane, (Dave), Kris, (Ashit) Maria (Tennille), Angelica (Scott), Daniel (Denise) and Jolene (Krista). Her eyes always danced when she spoke of her greatgrandchildren Robert, Lauren, Samir, Maya, Kaein, Grayson, Irelyn, Peyton and Skylar and her love was clearly shown with chocolate bars given whenever anyone was leaving! Our dear and precious lady will be forever missed. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your local SPCA. A celebration of her life will be held in the near future.
Godspeed Mom, Gran, Great-Granny and friend. You will be in our hearts forever.

She is predeceased by her parents, Mary Ann and Hugh John McGivern, both born in Ireland; her husband Ray, and her siblings, Esther, Hugh and Jim. While raising her sons and working full time at the New Westminster City Hall, she was always busy and had a talent for cooking, baking, gardening and sewing. She enjoyed many global trips with her husband, Ray, and later, to California to see her grandchildren. She hosted many New Year’s Day parties, Easters at their cottage and much later, she joined her family for every important celebration while insisting that she provide the ham and turkey! Despite her busy schedule, she made it a point to always look her very best and have the shiniest shoes in town!
