‘Fifty-five? You’re just a kid at 55’ Jack Thomas stocks the shelves at the Royal Square Safeway. He has no plans to retire – although he just turned 90 By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Forget about sitting out his later years relaxing in a rocking chair. Jack Thomas might be 90 years old, but he’s still putting in a full day’s work. Thomas, a clerk at the Royal Square Safeway, may well be the oldest general clerk in Safeway’s history, but he doesn’t look at the job he’s held for many years after most people retire as drudgery. Instead, he sees the benefits of keeping busy and earning a few bucks to supplement his pension. “I am happy here. I love doing what I am doing, I really do,” he said earnestly. “I look forward to coming to work.” While many workers dream of retiring at 65 – or younger – Thomas has never aspired to reach Freedom 55. “Fifty-five?” he said. “You are just a kid at 55.You’ve got a lot of living to do.” Thomas, who turned 90 on Sept. 30, started working at Safeway when he was 72. A general clerk,Thomas stocks and organizes shelves on the graveyard shift two or three nights a week – and has no plans to retire anytime soon.

BUSINESSES FOR IT, RESIDENTS AGAINST IT
Uptown parklet gets mixed reviews By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Should it stay or should it go? The Uptown New West Business Association likes the Belmont Street parklet
so much it would like it expanded, but many area residents say it’s gotta go. “Most of the feedback we have received, both from our member businesses, as well as from member of the public, has been very posi-
tive,” said Bart Slotman, president of the Uptown New West Business Association in a letter to council. “People like the addition of this fun space in this area. People linger, meet their neighbours, and have
a good time. It is the type of environment we want to create.” In June, the city created a temporary parklet adjacent to Tim Horton’s and furnished the space with movable tables and chairs.
A ‘lawn’ area built onto the road features artificial grass, Adirondack chairs, and planters. As part of the initiative, Belmont Street was reconfigured to be a oneway street at Sixth Street. “We would support mak-
ing it a permanent addition,” Slotman wrote. “In this regard, we actually ask you to put consideration to enlarging the parklet, and perhaps even envision the Continued on page 10

Up Front MERMAIDS INTERNATIONAL LURES COMEDIAN
Mercer makes a splash in New West By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Comedian Rick Mercer made a splash as a merman thanks to a New West mermaid. Along with being a professional harpist, longtime resident Lori Pappajohn is a “professional mermaid” with Mermaids International, which offers mermaid parties. She thought Mercer would be an ideal merman – and wasn’t disappointed when he came to town to tape a segment for the Rick Mercer Report. “He’s a natural merman,” she said. “He had fun, we had fun.What’s great about him is he is a comedian so he’s making it up on the fly. It’s just so funny.We just laughed and laughed.” Pappajohn said Mercer is really coordinated and mastered some of the trickier merman moves with ease. She’s been “mermaiding” for more than five years. “It’s a total different way of swimming.When you are swimming you are kicking and pulling yourself through the water. As soon as you put the tail on, you’re no longer doing that.You literally become like a dolphin or a whale. It’s a totally different feel,” she said. “I always say watching a mermaid swim underwater is like poetry.” Pappajohn recently emailed Mercer to see if he’d like to don a tail and be a merman for the Rick Mercer Report. “The man is brilliant,” she said. “He likes to do fun and crazy things, and
this is pretty crazy.” Pappajohn will be tuning in for the season opener of the Rick Mercer Report, when the segment airs on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. and Friday, Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. on CBC Within weeks of emailing the Rick Mercer Report, Mercer and his crew were sitting in her living room. “He had to try on his merman tail.You’ve got to make sure it fits, right?” said the longtime New West resident and former Record reporter. “It was bizarre to see Rick Mercer sitting on my couch in my living room. How do you wrap your head around that? A national treasure sitting on your couch.” The following day, the mermaids and film crew headed to the Vancouver Aquarium where Mercer took the plunge. “He shot in one of the tanks with the fish,” Pappajohn said. “We assisted with that but we didn’t go in – it was six degrees.” In the days that followed, the Rick Mercer Report filmed at Second Beach and Kitsilano Pool,Vancouver’s only salt-water pool. Pappajohn and several other mermaids, including some local kids, joined Mercer in the pool. “He is so funny, he actually got suspenders. He didn’t need them but why not?” Pappajohn said. “He’s a rad kind of merman.What merman has suspenders other than him?” Pappajohn is pleased to see the myth of mermaids resurfacing. “Mermaids have been in

every culture, literally from Chile to China.They are just part of every cultures folklore.The folklore has been around for over 3,000 years. It goes back to ancient Syria. So it’s there in our psyche as a myth,” she said. “I think in our modern age that myth is laying
quiet. Suddenly this whole mermaid thing has been more in the forefront with people doing it.” A freelance journalist, Pappajohn wrote an article about mermaid tail cre-
ator Monika Naumann, which led to an appearance on Good Morning America in 2012. “Once you’ve done Good Morning America and Rick Mercer, you might as well
pack your tail up and go home,” she laughed, when asked about future plans. “It doesn’t get any bigger than this.”
CITY LOOKS FOR DIRECTION
Does city zoning infringe on religious rights? By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Is the City of New Westminster violating the B.C. Human Rights Code by putting zoning restrictions on churches? That’s a question the city will take to its lawyer. The Canada Islamic Cultural Society has applied for a temporary use permit so
it can use a part of the upper level of the Heritage Hall at 718 12th St. for religious worship and assembly purposes.The site allows for public assembly, but religious assembly is a separate category in the zoning bylaw. “This actually could be discriminatory in the sense of the Human Rights Code in terms of religious free-
dom,” Coun. Bill Harper said. “All they are doing is renting a space in the old Carpenters Hall. … I am actually wondering why this bylaw is structured the way it is. Maybe it should be reviewed.” While groups like Boy Scouts can meet in the space, Harper said religious groups are required to get a temporary use permit.
“That bothers me, quite frankly,” he said. Bev Grieve, the city’s director of development services, said the zoning bylaw has a separate category for places of worship, which is meant for a wide variety of religious institutions. When the Islamic Society approached city staff about the space, she said it made sense the church stay at the
12th Street location while it searches for a permanent home in New West. Council supported the staff recommendation to process the temporary use permit application from the Canada Islamic Cultural Society, but also directed staff to get a legal opinion on whether it’s legal to single out religious assembly as a permitted use in the
zoning bylaw. “There is a reason why you have zoning for churches,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr. “One of them is tax exemptions.The other is so you can have some control over the impacts they may have in a community with regards to parking.”

News Garage fire damages four homes Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
Four homes were damaged when a fire quickly burned through a detached garage on Garfield Street. At about 5:45 p.m. on Sunday, several residents in the 500 block of Garfield Street contacted the fire department when they noticed flames coming from a garage on the block. Fuelled by combustibles inside the garage, including two vehicles, the blaze quickly consumed the garage and spread to the attic next door, Deputy Chief John Hatch told the Record. “The heat radiation and the flames were probably about 15 to 18 feet from the
neighbour’s house and then it burnt the siding and got into the roof line and the attic space,” he said. It took three hours for the 22 responding firefighters to knock down the twoalarm inferno.Thanks to the residents’ quick alert and department’s prompt response, the fire didn’t spread beyond the neighbour’s attic, Hatch noted. “We’re very fortunate they (the firefighters) made a quick interior attack on the exposed house where the attic fire was and managed to save that house,” he said. The exterior siding of three surrounding houses (including the home to which the garage belongs)
We’re very fortunate they made a quick interior attack were also damaged by the heat, but it was the fourth house with the attic fire that
sustained the most damage. The residents of that home won’t be returning for some time, Hatch said. The cause of the blaze is still under investigation, but it doesn’t appear to be suspicious at this time. No residents were injured in the fire, but one firefighter suffered a shoulder injury during the battle.

Lyle & Sandy Longridge were recommended to my wife and I by some close friends who had bought and sold with them in the past. After interviewing 2 other realtors we decided on Lyle & Sandy because of their knowledge, professionalism and quite honestly their lower commission rates. We appreciated their guidance and patience through our condo purchase as this was a new experience for us. And once we were ready to sell our house, they had it listed and sold within one week for much more than our listed price. In conclusion, we couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose Lyle & Sandy to handle our real estate needs. I highly recommend Lyle & Sandy Longridge at Assist2Sell to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. – Sincerely, Robert Gauthier When we met Lyle and Sandy to inquire about their services, we were already impressed by their enthusiasm, professionalism, dedication and above all, their honesty. This was our first venture in the real estate world. We relied heavily on their guidance and we were not disappointed at all. Starting with a good CMA, a great strategy for pricing and the way they advertised our condo. We even got a firm offer with no subject before the open house! As per Sandy’s advice, we used the money we saved in realtor fees to stage our condo and it made a huge difference. We accepted an offer the day after the open house! Lyle and Sandy also worked relentlessly to respond to the other realtors enquiries to put all the chances on our side. Lyle even had another firm back up offer just in case the one we chose did not go through! Our condo was sold in a week, way above asking price! We sincerely believe we would not have achieved this result without Lyle’s and Sandy’s expertise. They were always available and such a pleasure to deal with. It was an amazing journey. Would we recommend them? ABSOLUTELY! We cannot thank Lyle and Sandy enough. We sincerely believe we have been blessed to deal with such awesome persons. Looking forward to work with them again. –Jay and Simla

City people Jack Thomas: ‘You’ve got your bills... Everybody is in the same boat’ Continued from page 1 “I feel good.You are exercising all night long, you are walking all night long.You are up and you are down, your arms are going. Time goes so fast.” If you think Safeway makes concessions because of Thomas’s age, you’d be wrong. Watch him work, and you’ll see for yourself as he moves with ease around the store. “He is not accommodated in any fashion. He is just an amazing guy. He’s up and down. It’s a fairly physical job, lifting heavy totes off of pallets and stocking them to the shelves,” said store manager Steve Nicoll. “Honestly, he is one of the harder working people in the store. Forget his age. He is a super reliable guy.” Coworkers are equally complimentary about Thomas. “He’s better than the young boys,” said one co-worker. “The young boys can’t move like him.” “He’s a good co-worker,” said another. “Everybody loves him.” Thomas said his decision to continue working is a combination of needing to make money and wanting to keep busy. “I am paying rent.You’ve got your cable and your hydro, the same as anybody else. You’ve got your bills, you’ve got your car payment and car insurance.There are never ending bills,” he said. “Everybody is in the same boat.”

Everything was at the PNE.” After being hired at Safeway,Thomas continued to take time off so he could work as a night foreman at the fair every summer. “I loved working the fair,” he said. “There was just so much going on.”

Opinion OUR VIEW
Ageism – there’s no way of escaping it There are a lot of things the very young and the very old have in common. When you’re very young, people older than you think it’s OK to comment on how smart you are for your age. How you can walk so well at such a young age. How you know so many words at such a young age. How much older you look for your age. When you get very old – and sometimes not even all that old – people younger
than you are often amazed at how agile you are for your age.What a good memory you have for your age. How “young” you still look for your age. Ageism, whether it’s directed at young people or old people, is everywhere. So it’s no wonder we all have a tough time avoiding it, and then passing it on. Our entire society is seemingly obsessed by it. The first question new parents often hear is: Is it a
boy or girl? The second question is often how old is she or he. And then begin the endless comparisons: is she big enough for her age? Is he trying to walk yet? The fear of parents that their little ones are not keeping up with the other little ones of the same age is completely understandable on many levels. Developmental issues are significant. But the added layer of, “is he or she behind or ahead”
also speaks to the pressures of keeping up with everybody else. And, of course, the pressure never ends. One might hope that on the other end of the aging spectrum you could catch a break. But, no.Tales of elderly citizens who are still climbing mountains in their 80s get oohs and ahhhs. Young people compare stories about their grandparents, proclaiming in wonder that they are still living
in their own homes or still paying their own bills. Again, some of this is completely understandable. We are raised to measure ourselves against others. But is the shock and surprise we display when we hear of someone older who is still active a product of our own admiration for these individuals or of our ingrained prejudgments about what is ‘normal’ for older people? We profile Jack Thom-
as on our front page today. He’s 90 and still working. There’s no question that’s unusual. He certainly tests our assumptions, and we’re glad that the ‘news angle’ gave us an opportunity to meet Jack and get to know him a little better and share him with our readers. He’s a great guy. Perhaps, in a perfect world, the fact that he’s 90 really wouldn’t be all that newsworthy.
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
Great Divide in B.C. politics The recent gathering of politicians in the capital provided ample evidence of the Great Divide that is deepening in this province. That divide – essentially, those who favour resource developments versus those who do not – will be a dominant theme come the spring election campaign. But it was in full sight last week at the annual convention of the Union of B.C. Municipalities. Two news conferences stood out, as mayors representing rival views duelled over the importance of the natural resource industry. LastWednesday, mayors from northern and Interior towns like Kamloops and Fort St. John took to the steps of the B.C. legislature to make their pitch that industries such as oil and gas, forestry and mining have a huge impact on the provincial economy. The very next day, mayors and councillors from urban areas such as the capital region and MetroVancouver held their own news conference, this one denouncing the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline as posing too great a risk to the environment. This is not simply a geographical split.While the mayors neatly cleaved the province in half, the divide has now come to define our two major provincial political parties. The B.C. Liberals have gone all-in on growing the economy and have put the
kind of environmental protection the anti-pipeline crowd is demanding on a distant backburner.While it is keeping things like the carbon tax in place, the current government is in no hurry to expand environmental protections. The New Democratic Party, on the other hand, has adopted the exact opposite philosophy.The party has almost fully embraced the various positions of environmental activists, which include opposing pipelines such as Kinder Morgan’s and demanding much more aggressive action when it comes to fighting climate change. Now another important distinction between the two parties has emerged. NDP leader John Horgan has now promised to fully implement the United Nations Declaration of Rights for Indigenous Peoples, while Premier Christy Clark has balked at doing so because she thinks a number of clauses in that declaration are more than merely problematic and would in fact give First Nations an absolute “veto” over virtually any economic activity on land they lay claim to. At the very least, the two parties will give B.C. voters two vastly different options from which to choose when they head to the polls next May. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

It’s past time for a new electoral system
SkyTrain changes coming for NewWest
Dear Editor It’s been a year since the longest federal election campaign in modern Canadian history, and many campaign promises are slowly taking shape. One of the most exciting changes that will come about is the electoral reform that three different parties campaigned on. The Liberals, New Democrats and Greens all agreed in the 2015 campaign that the existing first-past-thepost, winner-take-all system is outdated and that we need to change the system so that all Canadians feel like their vote matters and that their voice can be heard. The Green Party of Canada has accurately pointed out that our electoral system unfairly punishes Conservative voters in cities, Liberal and NDP voters in the West, and Green voters throughout Canada. The problem with our current system, as has been pointed out numerous times before, is that it does not accurately reflect the views and opinions of the electorate. In the last two elections, the party with the majority of the seats in the House of Commons has had 100 per cent of the power. Only problem with this is, haven’t had 100 per cent of the seats, and they’ve had an even smaller percentage of the popular vote. The way it has been going in Canada is something like this “40 per cent vote = 60 per cent seats = 100 per cent power.” We need a system that more accurately represents our diverse views; it is our diversity that is a source of our strength. We need to figure out a way to encourage getting our diverse views represented in our democracy. This will benefit our democracy by reducing the need to “vote strategically” and will reduce voter apathy, increasing participatory democracy. There are those who have been calling for a referendum. We had a referendum on electoral reform last year, when over 60 per cent of Canadians voted for a candidate or party who campaigned on electoral reform. The people of Canada have already spoken, and we agree, first-past-the-post negatively impacts approximately two-thirds of voters. In fact, the Liberals could implement any system they like; they do have a majority government, after all. However, they chose to implement a system of proportional representation to form a committee to discuss all the possible options, including members from each party (in the same approximate distribution as the seats in the House of Commons), to see what the pros and cons of these systems would be for us. This is the exact outcome we hope to get from the committee itself! While there are a lot of different ideas and systems that we could use to replace what we currently have, I feel that a system of proportional representation is what would be in the best interest of all citizens. A well-balanced approach to government, with voices and views that represent every Canadian, will help ensure our democracy can flourish in the 21st century and beyond. The more we can get people engaged, the healthier our democracy will be. Times change. Systems change. Progress is inevitable. It’s time we throw our support behind electoral reform, and I strongly encourage writing to your MP or the committee on electoral reform showing your support for proportional representation.

greg Just another reason to drive. Thanks to Translink “improving services” they have severely restricted and limited Quayside bus services to/from New West Station, thus forcing paying customers to walk, and now this.

Cops investigate hit and run in NewWest Michael Tiney That is the worst pedestrian crosswalk in New West. Even after they put in the flashing lights to warn drivers. 1 of the issues is the bus stop heading up 12th St at 5th... If a bus is stopped there a driver coming down 12th has zero view of the opposite side of the intersection. The bus stop should be moved 30 to 50 feet further up. I’ve seen many near misses at this crossing. NewCity Dude 2 Root causes of hit/ run: drunk and/or stoned driver, prohibited driver, no insurance, stolen car, warrant out for driver, lack of appropriate insurance: mis-rated insurance class and minimal amount of liability insurance - I still can’t believe people are permitted to drive around with only $200,000 liability but that’s ICBC for you. The scary thing is that victims of hit/run are only entitled to $200,000 to cover their rehabilitation and lost wages. Also, to be “successful” in claiming that sorry amount you must have made a reasonable effort to obtain a plate number of the vehicle that struck you otherwise you better lawyer up to go to battle with ICBC. Why isn’t ICBC increasing the benefits when they recently acknowledged that liability claims are soaring?

Residents say parklet isn’t working for area Continued from page 1 different role that Belmont Street can play in making the Uptown a strong, vibrant and pedestrian-oriented retail district.” Lisa Leblanc, the city’s transportation manager, said the city’s intention has been to leave the parklet in place, while a decision about the partial closure of Belmont Street at Sixth Street and the “lawn” area will be considered as part of discussions with Royal City Farmers Market and its needs for the winter market. She said the city’s preference is to leave it in place. “We have been monitoring the installation regularly and have not noted any significant issues with parking or traffic circulation; both the parklet and the ‘lawn’ are well used by the community,” Leblanc said. Residents, however, tell a different story. “Nobody wants this parklet to remain,” said area resident Gordon Grant. “It

She said New Westminster police frequently attend Belmont Street for after-hour noise disturbances, including a recent Saturday night gathering where a crowd of 20 loud, drunk adults caused a scene, which was soon followed by a fender-bender in the crosswalk. “I do not believe a parklet should be located close to a pub and liquor store,” she wrote in an email to the Record. “The only business that appears to be benefiting from this parklet is Tim Hortons. But it far outweighs the resources used by our city workers, firemen and police.” Lahn hopes the city would consider the views of area residents, who support the local businesses, before expanding the parklet.

F.W. Howay gets funds for seismic work Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
Work is underway at F.W. Howay Elementary to make the 55-year-old school better able to withstand an earthquake. The $4-million project began in the summer and includes renovations to the school plus improvements to its infrastructure, district superintendent Pat Duncan told the Record. “We’re also replacing the mechanical and electrical systems in the school as well – we got a grant to do that – so the whole school gets an upgrade,” Duncan said. The grant money the district received for the electrical and mechanical upgrades is included in the $4-million price tag, Duncan added. To bring the school up to the province’s latest seismic standards, workers will be reinforcing the walls and roof of the entire build-
ing, including the gym. As the work is completed, students will be moved in and out of a portable the district installed on the site in the summer. “We’ll just move classes through the portable as the process goes along,” Duncan added. In addition to the structural work, the district is also turning an unused space on the school’s lower level into a brand new multi-purpose room. “It was actually an outdoor basement, fenced-in kind of area, so it was just not a usable space.To be honest, I don’t know what it was intended for when it was first designed, but it will allow us to have a multi-purpose room, and it’s something the (parents advisory council) had been asking for for a long time,” Duncan said. The entire project should be complete by spring break in March 2017.
Heritage deal nixed A New West home is being returned to its singlefamily status after work done on the site was contrary to a heritage revitalization agreement. In 2014, the city approved a heritage revitalization agreement for 709 and 705 Cumberland St., which provided for variances and relaxations on a new house on a new parcel of land in exchange for restoration and protection of the 1911 house at 709 Cumberland.
In response to work done that was a breach of related bylaws and the heritage revitalization agreement, staff has been working with the owner on a resolution. Staff recommended that the property be consolidated back into a single lot with a single house and that the heritage revitalization agreement and heritage designation be removed. Council approved the staff recommendation. – Theresa McManus

Youth arts fest gains Momentum Annual event designed to support and showcase young artists Julie MacLellan
jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca
From film to poetry, indie music to swing dancing, there’s something on offer for all tastes at the upcoming MomentumYouth Arts Festival. The annual festival is designed to showcase and support local artists and local youth, and it features a jampacked weekend of activities Oct. 14 to 16. “We’re really excited,” says youth coordinator Julian Legere, who’s working with a youth panel to pull together the festival. The youth fest kicks off Friday at Massey Theatre with a Korean drumming workshop at 5 p.m., followed by an indie band showcase with Smash Boom Pow at 7 p.m. Cheondoong Korean Drumming returns to the stage at 9 p.m. for a performance. Saturday is a workshopbased day, with events taking place in the flex space on the main floor of the Anvil Centre (just inside the main doors).
Programming includes workshops in dance, DJ’ing, creating graphic novels, poetry and painting. (See schedule at side for details.) A highlight of the festival will be an Art 2 Heart event at 6 p.m. – a panel discussion and Q&A with professional artists in a variety of disciplines, including music, acting, filmmaking and graphic design. Legere notes that the youth panel wanted to include a Q&A-style event to give young, emerging talents an idea of how to enter professional careers in the arts. The evening wraps up with a swing dance session that’s part workshop, part party – you can take a swing lesson and then dance the night away, with the fun running from 9 to 11 p.m. On Sunday, the fest moves to the Moody Park Youth Centre for Momentum Open Stage – a living room-style open mike event that’s open to anyone who wants to take part. It’s being run by Two Gents of New West, who hosted a se-

lery, NewWest FilmFest, MomentumYouth Arts Movement and the city’s arts services, is presenting MediatedVisions: film, art and technology, running Tuesday, Oct. 18 at the Anvil Centre
Theatre. MediatedVisions is described as a “convergence of film, contemporary art, workshops and artist talks that address the interconnected nature of human so-
ciety and technology.” It’s running in conjunction with the ongoing WITNESS exhibition at New Media Gallery – a collection of five works that explore how our interaction with technology has reconfigured our ideas about public space. The evening will include
a screening of Werner Herzog’s documentary Lo and Behold: Reveries of the ConnectedWorld, which charts a course from the earliest days of the “world wide web” to the larger implications of today. It starts at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:15 p.m. Following the screening,
guest speakers Adam Basanta and Mazdak Gharibnavaz will be on hand. Basanta is one of the artists whose work is in the WITNESS exhibition. Gharibnavaz is a grassroots development officer at OpenMedia, where he is a staffer “in the fight for a free Continued on page 14

Dance for the Day of the Dead Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Community members are invited to dance, laugh and sing the night away at an upcoming Day of the Dead dance at St. Barnabas Church. The church is hosting a Dia de los Muertos dance on Saturday, Oct. 22 starting at 6:30 p.m.The night’s entertainment includes Mexican dancers from the Caudillos del Sur dance troupe, the a cappella soul quartet What It Is and the blues band The Syndicate. “We have decided on something which brings different cultures together so we are doing Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead,” she said. “It’s just a chance to have a party and have fun. It’s also a fundraiser.” The St. Barnabas Latina women’s group, the Esperanza project, will be cooking up free fiesta food for the bash.The night’s festivities also include a chance to contribute photos and flowers to the typical Altar for
the Dead. “Everyone is invited to make an altar, to bring photos of family members or loved ones who have passed away. It’s an act of remembrance, an act of acknowledging our love for those who have gone ahead of us. It’s a party, not a solemn affair at all, but it’s based on the Mexican tradition of mocking death, rather than being overwhelmed with it, and celebrating life.” The event includes a raffle and door prizes, as well as a special prize for the best Catrina (Day of the Dead) costume. “People are welcome to dress up in whatever they want,” Smith said. “If there’s people that really know what the Catrina is – the Grim Reaper is a woman in Mexico, so if people want to do that that’s welcome. Come as you are. Be ready to dance, laugh and sing and have a great time.” All proceeds will go toward two new parish projects, including the creation of a meditation garden in the church courtyard.

“It is accessible to the whole neighbourhood,” she said. “We are planning to build a quiet place for people to sit, with a little bench. They can come in and pray or be quiet and medicate.” Money is also being raised to help establish a new no-barrier community choir. “It’s not a church choir, it’s a neighbourhood community choir, which is open to everybody that breathes. If you can breathe, you’re in the choir; if you have a
pulse, you’re in,” Smith said. “What this choir director does, she has three choirs in Vancouver, she gets everybody from every ability and walk of life involved. It’s beautiful.We need a little bit of funds to kick that off the ground.” Tickets are $25, or $10 for seniors, children and people on low incomes and available at the hall. St. Barnabas Community Hall is at 1010 Fifth Ave.

A closer look
The last horses in the city Queensborough was once a farming community filled with fields and livestock – now it is filling up with townhouses and new residents. But hidden in the mix are five horses and their devoted owner and trainer. Reporter Cayley Dobie and photographer Cornelia Naylor take a closer look at the last horses in the city. By Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
Queensborough is one of New Westminster’s fastest-growing neighbourhoods, but only a few decades ago, it wasn’t unusual for farmers to let their horses and cows roam the eastern tip of Lulu Island. That history is fading in the shadow of burgeoning development, but just across the highway from the big box stores a vestige of the old ’Boro remains. On a small farm on Salter Street, trainer Aidan Ford is leads a horse into a riding arena to do some groundwork. Before she jumps into the saddle, she has to get the mare used to the sounds of the large excavator working in the field next door. Mia is one of five horses currently living on the property. Ford rents the space, which includes a tiny barn, a riding arena and two lungeing rings, and uses it to train her horses and teach lessons. Ford herself stumbled upon the facility almost a decade ago.The 22-year-old had been riding horses since she was little but had grown tired of the sometimes aggressive techniques used by trainers. A few years later, the East Vancouver resident went searching for cheap horse leases, and that’s when she discovered the local barn. “I did not know Queensborough existed; I had no idea. I had no idea there were horses here. I turned up and went, ‘Oh, this is a little whacky,’” she said. “The women who ran the place at the time were into natural horsemanship, and they taught me their ways and mentored me.” Natural horsemanship is a different way of training and working with horses that’s more about learning to communicate with the horse rather than demanding or forcing it to do something. A few years ago, Ford’s mentors
THE PAST IN THE PRESENT:
Aidan Ford tacks up her horse Mia before taking her for a ride in the arena. Mia is one of five horses living on a small farm in Queensborough. Ford, who owns the horses, rents the space and uses it to train her horses and teach lessons. The 22-year-old, who hails from East Vancouver, stumbled onto the property several years back when she was looking for a horse to lease. PHOTOS CORNELIA NAYLOR
decided it was time to move on. Instead of looking for a new place to ride, Ford decided to continue what the women had started. She went out and got her Canadian Horsemanship Association certification and began teaching lessons herself, again, focusing on natural horsemanship and
horse psychology. “(Students) come, they catch their horse, they groom their horse, tack them up.We do about half ground work and half riding. So they learn how to communicate with their horse on the ground.They learn how to teach their horse new things – develop
some of that trust and leadership and some of that bond before they get on their horse’s back,” she explained. At any given time, Ford has between 10 and 20 students – 20 is her Continued max – ranging in ages from three on page 19 years old to upwards of 60 and 70

A TRUSTY STEED:

Continued from page 18 years old. One of the draws of her riding stable is its central location within the Lower Mainland. While many of her clients are from New Westminster, she also gets quite a few from East Vancouver, Kitsilano, Southlands and even Dunbar. “It’s urban, which I love, … you can get here in about 40 minutes from downtown Vancouver, and it’s in this place that has no farmland left, so we get people constantly coming by with their kids (saying), ‘Oh my God, there’s animals here.’” And their surprise is understandable. The property next door used to be home to a tree farm before it was sold. Now it’s a barren lot awaiting city approval for subdivision into 17 single-family home sites plus a park space on an 18th site, according to Jim Hurst, planner for the City of New Westminster. Further west down Salter Street, another landowner wants to build a 96-unit townhouse complex, pending council approval. It’s all part of a trend that’s trying to capitalize
on Queensborough’s growing population, which has ballooned from a mere 2,000 in 1990 to 7,100 in 2011, according to census data. Ford admits the encroaching development is a concern that brings up questions she’s not quite ready to answer – or even contemplate. “We’re a little worried, as always, but I like to keep my fingers crossed and don’t think on it too much,” she said, adding that if the unthinkable happens and the property is sold to a developer, she’ll likely move the horses to a ranch in the Interior until she can find them a new home in the Lower Mainland. For now, she’s content with how things are going. The self-professed city girl spends nearly every day with her horses in Queensborough. “It’s just a different feel having a place that’s right in the centre of the city and having people drop by and families coming up the driveway with their toddlers to say hi,” she said. “It’s not the same out there. In Langley everyone out there are country people already.” Find out more about Ford and her horses at www. facebook.com/FreestyleHorsemanship.

Big Ideas seminars coming to New West Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Simon Fraser University is sharing some “big ideas” with Royal City residents. The Graduate Liberal Studies Big Ideas seminar series, which provides participants with an opportunity to revisit, rethink and reframe many of the most influential works of Western culture in light of current topics of social importance, is coming to New Westminster. Each seminar consists of two two-hour seminars on a wide range of topics and will be presented by PhD students. “SFU is doing their BIG IDEAs series here,” said Shelly Schnee, a recreation programmer at Century House. “They are doing two here.We are trying one in the day and one in the evening.” ! What’s It All About, Elizabeth Gilbert? will explore topics like travel, identity and contemporary social justice.This seminar runs on Tuesday, Oct. 18 and 24 from 1 to 3 p.m. ! Finding Home in an Evolving City will explore ideas of home, drawn from many disciplines, and how and why those ideas often conflict with urban development.This series runs on Tuesday, Nov. 8 and 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend the seminars. For more information, call Century House at 604-5161066. DINNER A SUCCESS The community came together to support a charity providing therapeutic counselling for youth battling addiction as a result of childhood abuse and trauma. More than 100 guests attended a community dinner at St. Barnabas Church hall on Aug. 27 in support of Dan’s Legacy.The dinner raised $3,500 for the
charity. “We’re absolutely thrilled with the incredible support we received from the community,” said Barbara Coates, executive director of Dan’s Legacy. “For some time now, the media has been reporting more and more stories about the kids lost to overdose or suicide; these funds will help us providing the critical counselling and life skills programs so desperately needed by young people in crisis.” Chef Amber Anderson and her team of students from HAVE Culinary Training Society in Vancouver whipped up a yummy meal from surplus ingredients donated by Save-On-Foods. Volunteers, led by the lo-
We’re absolutely thrilled with the incredible support
cal Union Gospel Mission’s kitchen manager Mike Miller, prepared appetizers for the guests that included clients from Dan’s Legacy, parishioners from St. Barnabas Anglican Church, members of the Immigrant Link Membership Society and others who wouldn’t normally have the chance to attend this type of event. “I have seen firsthand the incredible work Dan’s Legacy does counselling youth who have experienced trauma,” Anderson said in a press release. “My cooking skills, connection with Dan’s Legacy and work with at-risk youth make it an ideal way for me to give back to the community. My current students helped me prepare the food; it is a great way for students to also give back.” For more information, visit www.danslegacy.com. HELP OUT HOSPICE
A group of local residents has been hard at work on plans for the formation of the New West Hospice Society – and now they want your input. The steering committee is holding a forum on Saturday, Oct. 15 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Century House, with the goal of making New Westminster the next Compassionate Community – a place where death is no longer hidden or whispered about, where people know what to say and do, and where residents can die with dignity and family members and friends can grieve. More information is available by emailing newwesthospice@ gmail.com or checking out the New West Hospice Society page on Facebook. MAGIC MOMENTS Also on Oct. 15, St. Aidan’s Presbyterian Church is holding two magic shows with John Kaplan, 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. at 1320 Seventh Ave.Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under, or $40 for a family with two adults and children (maximum of six family members).Tickets are available at 604-5249056. TAILGATE AUCTION FUNDRAISER RETURNS Rounding out the day on Saturday, Oct. 15 is the 14th annual Hyack Football Tailgate Auction, which includes a wine and beer tasting reception hosted by Pacific Breeze Winery and Steel and Oak Brewery (accompanied by music from the NWSS jazz band), a tasty Roma Hall lasagna dinner and the live and silent auction (including a Hawaiian holiday). It’s taking place at La Perla Ballroom and the atrium at River Market at Westminster Quay.Tickets are $70 per person or $500 for a table of eight.

T
his April Holland America has 4 ships repositioning from Florida to VanCo-Founder couver with the best current deal being aboard the ms & President, Oosterdam with our 23 night package for $4599 CAD pp. CruisePlus This price includes air from Vancouver to Tampa, 1 night in a 4 star hotel, 22 nights in a balcony stateroom (with a small 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. Similar pricing and mostly the same itineraries hold true for the ms Nieuw Amsterdam and ms Eurodam sailings, and the ms Amsterdam (which does the world cruise) has less balconies, so pricing is generally a bit more for them. Ask about winter choices between San Diego and Fort Lauderdale (or reverse) – we’ll give you better value on any Panama departure!

Unusual or Increased Tooth Sensitivity? Visit Your Dentist Regularly
When you clench and/or grind, your teeth exert a huge amount of pressure on your teeth. Prolonged bruxism can lead to cracked, chipped, broken or loose teeth, or damage to the temporomandibular joint of the jaws. Through regular dental visits, your dentist will monitor your mouth including any irregular wear on the surfaces of your teeth. This can help to diagnose bruxism early, and limit any damage to your mouth.

Congratulations are in order for the kids over at Lord Kelvin Elementary. A whopping $385.55 was raised by the students during the school’s annual Terry Fox Run held last week. The funds will go to the Terry Fox Foundation to support cancer research. But the most exciting part of the event was the special guest – Terry’s sister Judith. Judith Fox is the international director of the Terry Fox Foundation, and she dropped by the Moody Park school to talk about Terry’s Marathon of Hope and to share the story of “an ordinary guy doing extraordinary things,” teacher Stephanie Musgrove wrote in an email. Musgrove, who organized the event, said the event was a great success. “Kids committed to ‘be Terry’ to those they saw on our run around Moody
Park looking tired, telling them to ‘never give up,’” she said. Way to go, you guys! I can’t wait to hear how much you raise next year. MORE KUDOS! There’s more congratulations to hand out. Grade 6 student Saraya Scobie won herself a seat on the Fraser River Middle School charter bus.The contest, which asked students to write a short essay explaining how their behaviour demonstrates commitment, routine and a strong work ethic, was sponsored by Realtor Matt Brabbins. Scobie’s winning submission described her dedication to library and lunch monitor duties while in elementary school at Lord Kelvin. She was awarded $375, which is enough money to cover the bus fee for the first half of the year. Brabbins will host another contest in December for a chance to win another $375.

You weigh less, people are starting to take notice and more importantly you feel more energized & healthier. Then the plateau arrives and your progress grinds to screeching halt. Here’s LUKE RAMNATH how to push past it. 1. Upgrade Your Workouts: Try training your entire body each time you step into the gym rather than focusing on individual muscles. 2. Stay Active on Your Days Off: Aim for 30-60 minutes of activity - not in the gym! It could be a walk in the park, a game of basketball maybe a bike ride. 3. Track Your Food Intake: The simplest thing you can do and the one that will yield the biggest return on your investment—is track what you’re eating. Remember: what gets measured gets managed! 4. Do What Suits You Best: Simplify things! Take responsibility for what you want, make a plan and you will succeed.

What were those round, purple marks we saw on Olympic competitors?
Its called cupping therapy, and it is a treatment modality in Chinese medicine. A plastic cup with a vacuum pump is placed on the skin. The suction stretches the skin, the fascia and increases blood circulation. Better blood DOREEN HILL flow is the body’s way of healing. I frequently combine cupping therapy and massage in my acupuncture treatments. The increased blood flow is beneficial to boosting the healing response. The suction from cupping draws blood from your vessels into your tissues. The body thinks it has been injured, so it jumpstarts an inflammatory response, which activates antibodies to the area to heal it. Cupping is effective in treating various conditions like low back, neck and shoulder pain, muscle cramping, fibromyalgia, and arthritis. Call me and book an appointment to discover the benefits of cupping. Acupuncture, cupping and other Chinese medicine treatments are covered under Extended Health Care Plans.

What happens in the Consumer Proposal process?
To find out if a Consumer Proposal is the best option for you, you’ll need to meet with a licensed Trustee to discuss your situation. They are the BLAIR MANTIN only professionals legally able to file Consumer Proposals. Your Trustee will help determine terms for a proposal that fit your circumstances. Usually repayment of 20-40% of the total debt is required. Once official documents are signed, the Trustee will contact your creditors, letting them know they cannot seek further payment from you. Once accepted by creditors, you’ll begin fulfilling the terms you offered and attend two credit counselling sessions. After you have completed your proposal you will begin to rebuild your credit with a fresh financial start!

Since there is no “silver bullet” toothpaste, the best option for you will depend on the specific needs of your mouth. Though, as a general rule the most important ingredient of any toothpaste is fluoride DR. LOVELY for cavity control. If you choose a toothpaste without fluoride for personal reasons, be aware that more frequent brushing and flossing might be needed to prevent cavities. Beyond fluoride, a good place to start your search is by asking your dentist what areas of your mouth could use improvement. For instance, if you have a lot of plaque build-up then a toothpaste aimed at tartar removal and prevention is probably best for you. Some other useful toothpaste options include anti-sensitivity, tooth whitening, and gum care ingredients to name a few. It is also wise to choose a toothpaste that has received the Canadian Dental Association seal of approval. Any toothpaste that has received this approval is safe to use and will help you keep your teeth their healthiest.

I’ve just sprained my ankle. When should I see my Physiotherapist?
Ankle sprains are injuries to the ligaments of the ankle (most frequently those on the outside of the ankle). Although they are relatively minor injuries, they can JIM GOVETT lead to significant problems later on if not looked after properly. For example, many people end up with ankle stiffness and weakness years later, which limits activity and performance. The likelihood of re-injury is also greater if balance and proprioceptive training are not addressed after a sprain. You should see your Physiotherapist as early after your injury as possible. Your Physio will educate you on how to reduce pain and swelling quickly. They will ensure that full range of motion is achieved, and show you how to improve your strength and balance to reduce the likelihood of another injury.

WHAT ONCE WAS If you pass the Galbraith House today, you’d never know the beautiful heritage home once looked like a dilapidated,
haunted house, as seen in this photo from April 1995. In the late 1990s, New West residents Ron and Marie Jang purchased the house at 131 Eighth St. and painstakingly restored it to its 1892 glory. What about those reports of the Galbraith House being haunted? Through the years, many people have reported hearing strange noises or feeling strange sensations in the house, and a paranormal team once found at least one ghostly presence. PHOTO RECORD FILES

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.

Immigrant grandparents are invited to take part in the Grandparents and Grandchildren Learning Together program. “It’s a program for immigrant grandparents who are looking after their grandchildren,” said Marjorie Staal, executive director of New Westminster Family Place. “The idea is that grandparents need some supports themselves.” Family Place is running the program in partnership with Family Services
Grandparents need some supports of Greater Vancouver.The drop-in program runs from 12:30 to 2 p.m. on Fridays at the Early Learning Centre at École Qayqayt Elementary School, 85 Merivale St. The interactive program focuses on literacy by giving grandparents an opportunity to practise English skills – which in turn helps them to
prepare their grandchildren for kindergarten. It’s also a place where grandparents can learn about Canadian culture and resources available in New Westminster and the surrounding area. In addition to the ESL component, the drop-ins also include a fitness program offered by staff from the city’s parks and rec department. Grandparents and Grandchildren Learning Together is open to immigrant grandparents of children up to five years of age. Registration isn’t required and child care is provided.

Changes continue in Sapperton The Millers explore the history of the Simpson Street flower shop Archie and Dale Miller
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
There have been many changes along East Columbia Street in Sapperton over the past few decades.There are also some remaining structures that link back to an earlier neighbourhood. One of these is across from the Save-On-Foods store, and it generates many inquiries. The building in question is the flower store at the corner of East Columbia and Simpson streets. There used to be a grocery store at 217 East Columbia St., operated by William Bailey who was noted in a 1938 article as being “well known, a pioneer, and grocery man at Sapperton for the past 16 years.” In time, Bailey needed more space and built a new store: that is today’s flower shop. The store, then a new grocery for Mr. Bailey, of-

The store has a partitioned storeroom at the back with a special garage and delivery entrance for trucks on Columbia Street.” The article further comments on the interior and exterior finishes. “The interior is finished in plas-

not show from the front. The exterior is treated with an attractive stucco mixture of granite and glass.” Bailey started in the grocery trade in England at the age of 14 and then came to Canada, directly to New
Westminster, in 1910. Here he worked at the Annandale supply store for a dozen years prior to heading out on his own. His first store was the one noted earlier, just down the block on East Columbia, then he decided to enlarge and modernize at East Columbia and Simpson streets. He was well known in Sapperton and overall in New Westminster, and he aimed to serve his community well. “Bailey’s Grocery will offer full grocery service in the district and will provide a fast and efficient delivery for customers.” And so we have a building of interest with connections to its architecture, its early operator, and its position in the early economy of the Sapperton area – too bad the structure can’t talk.

Seasons is a boutique-style offering of condominiums and townhomes
Collection of 101 contemporary residences is unique to Burnaby’s thriving Brentwood Town Centre
M
uch has been written about why Burnaby’s Brentwood Town Centre neighbourhood is a good location to live, work and play in. Brentwood is emerging as a sought-after enclave with great outdoor cafes and shopping, parks and trails, recreational amenities, and a historic business district, all within walking distance. Well-respected builder Ledingham McAllister understands the community’s appeal – it has chosen Brentwood for several of its most recent residential projects including Escala, released earlier this year, as well as its sold out high-rise Aviara. Now, the award-winning developer introduces its
newest collection – Seasons. Seasons is a collection of 101 West Coast contemporary one-bedroom and den, two-bedroom and two-bedroom and den condominiums and townhomes, ranging from 641 to 1,053 square feet. Each openconcept home has been designed to maximize the natural light and flow of living while combining style, form, and function. “It’s the only boutique-style residence currently on offer in the Brentwood town centre,” says Manuela Mirecki, senior vice president, marketing and design Ledingham McAllister. “Just 100 homes tucked into an incredibly landscaped enclave.” Inside, these thoughtfully designed home will feature sleek laminate wood flooring throughout the living space, long-lasting nylon carpeting throughout all bedrooms, and conveniently located cable and data outlets throughout most homes. The kitchens will be outfitted with a premium stainless-steel appliance package, Quartz countertops with contemporary tile backsplash, Kohler fixtures and timeless
finishes. It doesn’t stop there. Cooks and those who love to entertain will appreciate the 30-inch refrigerator and freezer with temperature-controlled drawers, metal wine rack and icemaker. For optimum comfort, each home presents energy-efficient, Solarban 60 UV-protected, double-glazed windows and sliding-glass or swing balcony doors with vinyl window/door system. To encourage a sense of community, owners will share a landscaped common outdoor terrace with children’s play area, community garden, and a 1,000 square feet amenity room. Nearby home owners, who purchased in Ledingham McAllister’s Aviara and Escala communities, say they were attracted to the fact that Brentwood is one of the best connected neighbourhoods in terms of transit, SkyTrain, bike networks and highways. Seasons owners will also be close to the urban hub, and just minutes away from several good schools such as Simon Fraser University and BCIT. “In addition, the new Brentwood Shopping

Centre is going to be a destination retail spot and is only a couple of blocks away,” she adds. For the environmentally-conscious consumers, Seasons features two eco-friendly initiatives, a commuter bike package and a transit pass subsidy. With more than 110 years of building landmark developments and 5,000 homes in Burnaby alone, you can rest assured you are buying from a builder renowned for outstanding quality, integrity and solid performance. Meanwhile, Mirecki says interest in Seasons has been very strong. “We expect a quick sell-out. People really need to register in advance to be sure to get an opportunity to purchase,” she adds. The Seasons Presentation Centre, located at 1710 Gilmore Avenue, Burnaby, opens for previews on Saturday, October 15 and the public opening follows on Saturday, October 22.

First-half hole costly to Hyacks Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
They struck first, and even got the last word in scoring-wise, but it was all the offence between those two points that weighed down the New Westminster Hyacks in last Friday’s B.C. High School senior AAA football game. Lining up against the unranked Notre Dame Jugglers, the Hyacks were unable to keep pace in a torrid second quarter, where the Vancouver squad built up a 24-point lead en route to a 44-28 win. New West, ranked third in B.C., were unable to contain the Jugglers quarterback Steven Moretto, who threw two touchdown passes and carried in two others as Notre Dame out-paced the Hyacks 423 to 312 in offensive yards. “(Morreto) single-handedly made us look like a JV team,” said New West head coach Farhan Lalji. “You have to give him credit, but at the same time, that was the worst half of football we’ve played in the last three years. Defensively we were in position, but our fundamentals could not have been worse and we simply couldn’t finish a play.” After winning their two previous games by a cumulative 102-19 margin, the Hyacks found themselves up against a strong offensive counter. Josh Olango darted in on a five-yard major to open the scoring for New West, but Notre Dame replied and tacked on a two-point convert to lead 8-6 after one quarter. In the second quarter, the Jugglers pushed ahead with runs of 20- and four-yards, and Moretto capped the frame with a 31-yard TD pass to end the half ahead 30-6. The Notre Dame pivot began the third frame with a one-yard QB keeper, before Lucas Sabau ended the Jugglers’ run with a five-yard rushing major. Broxx Comia, with a four-yard TD, and Sabau, off a 38-yard dash, completed the Hyack scoring. “Offensively everything we wanted was there, but we made some mental mistakes, couldn’t execute on some simple plays, and I think we got too cute as a coaching staff,” added Lalji. On defence, Prento Durigon picked up nine tackles. New West’s next game is Oct. 14 when they host No. 4-rated Vancouver College, 7:30 p.m. at Mercer Stadium.

Perrotta pilots Douglas past Cap
Forward Andrea Perrotta proved instrumental in a successful turnaround for the Douglas College Royals, engineering a come-from-behind 2-1 win over the Capilano Blues in PacWest women’s soccer action last week. The midfielder led the charge in the second half, as the squad faced a 1-0 deficit and a persistent Blues rival. Perrotta’s corner kick was converted by first-year
Royal Madison Hendry, while the game-winning blow came in injury time, as the veteran threaded a hard strike that eluded Capilano’s netminder. It was her team-leading fourth tally of the season, tying her for second overall in PacWest women’s scoring. While Perrotta supplied much of the offensive fireworks, the defensive tandem of Samantha Kell
and Michelle Wessa did a steady job holding back a Blues charge, with netminder Alexa Gazzola standing her ground to preserve the victory. The Royals face a home-andhome series against first place Langara this weekend, hosting the high-flying Falcons, who are led by Burnaby natives Anjali Dhaliwal and Ana Lukic, Sunday, noon at Town Centre Park.
The Douglas College men’s soccer team, meanwhile, dropped its second straight game, this time 6-0, to Capilano. With the score 3-0, the Royals’ frustration boiled over, resulting in playing a man-short much of the second half. They play Langara twice this weekend, hosting the Falcons on Sunday, 2:30 p.m. at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park.
Berg, Bosher and Messenger get Team Canada call Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
A trio of players with New Westminster connections were among the 26 players chosen to suit up for Team Canada at a pair of field lacrosse exhibition games in Denver later this month. The roster, which includes 11 who will be making their debut for Team Canada, will take on the University of Denver and United States Air Force Academy on Oct.
22 and 23, as part of the planning for the 2018 FIL Men’s World Lacrosse championships. Named to the roster are New Westminster-born Wesley Berg, New West junior Salmonbellies sniper Jeremy Bosher, and senior Salmonbellies defender Mike Messenger. For Berg, it will be like homeaway-from home, as the former University of Denver record-setter was part of Canada’s 2014 World win over Team U.S.A. in
the Rocky Mountain city. Berg, 23, counted five goals and two assists in that championship, which saw Canada reclaim the World title with a convincing 8-5 win over the host and defending champion Americans. The Coquitlam minor product is currently preparing for the upcoming National Lacrosse League season, where he plays for the Calgary Roughnecks, after toiling the summer for Oakville in the Ontario Major Series league.
Also familiar with the territory is Bosher. At 20, the attackman is one of the youngest players named to the Canadian squad.The New Westminster junior and native of Kamloops is entering his junior season at the University of Denver. The 6-foot-2 sniper has played for New West the past four seasons and is slated to wrap up his junior A career next summer.This past season in the B.C. junior circuit, Bosher tallied 11 goals and 12 assists in seven regular season
games, then tagged on another 11 goals and 16 assists over six playoff matches. Messenger, meanwhile, was among the Western Lacrosse Association ‘Bellies’ newest additions this past year, having been selected second overall in the 2016 junior draft. In his first year at the senior A level, Messenger tallied four goals and three assists over eight regular season games, while winning 66 of 96 faceoffs.

MINOR FOOTBALL
Hyacks surge in jr. bantam A four-touchdown performance from Andros Dancey set the tone in the Royal City Hyacks’ 52-0 trouncing of White Rock in junior bantam football play. The Hyacks, who improved to 2-2-1 on the year, also got majors from Ethan Ginogino and Jacob Maccumber. Gus Oliver delivered another standout effort, highlighted by a 50-yard run where he broke several tackles. On defence, Royal City was anchored by the steady work of Gabriel Bastos, who racked up multiple sacks and added PATs. PEEWEE The Royal City Hyacks put on an impressive show, topping the GSL Lions 30-13 to even their record at 2-2. Buoyed by continued improvement on the offensive line, where Maxim Butkovskiy led the way, Callum Rogers rushed for more than 100 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns. A.J. Llwellyn also tallied, while Markus Savela completed three of five passes, including a 50-yard catch and run to Gregory Palmer. FLAG Royal City Hyacks Black triumphed 20-6, with TDs scored by Demitri Biniaris, Jayden Pagaduan and George Paterakis. With Hyacks Orange, the squad put it all on the line in a hard-fought 13-12 loss to Langley. Gavin Domaas, with a 30-yard run, and Keegan Wilson scored.
One step to daylight: Royal City Hyacks’ Benicio Hageleit aims to scramble past a Cloverdale tackler during Sunday’s atom division match-up at Mercer Stadium. Despite a standout effort from defenderNathan Hillmann, Royal City fell 28-0. Hillman recorded two forced fumbles and a pair of fumble recoveries on the day, while the secondary of Jake Gardiner, Nikolas Panesar and Noah Thiessen continue to make strides on the defensive side.

Lillian was born in Arborg, Manitoba on Sept. 30 1921 and moved to Wynyard, SK in 1923 with her father Dagmar (Dan) Thorlakson, mother Josefina and two brothers Carl and Harold. As a little girl, she baked 12 loaves of bread each Saturday for the family and helped with preserving food for the long Prairie winters. She graduated from Saskatoon Hospital Nursing School in 1943 and married Warren Peterson (deceased). They had 3 children; Robert, Craig and Kim (Madhuri). She is survived by all three of her children, five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Volunteering was a huge part of her life. Most recently at the church thrift shop, and earlier on the Board of Stewards for the Burnaby United Church. Other volunteer work included Meals on Wheels and she even went back to college at the age of 80! She was a great comfort to her family and a wonderful resource for health information. Lillian traveled to many parts of the world, and took great pride in her Icelandic heritage. She was a true matriarch and we all sought her wise counsel. Lillian had a long life and noted not all the roads were paved, but she always chose to be happy. Her fortitude and strength of character helped her navigate them with great dignity and grace. Her memorial will be held on Saturday October 8th at 1 pm. Please join us for a celebration of her life at South Burnaby United Church, 7591 Gray Avenue, Burnaby.
