IN CIVIC ELECTIONS

Cote calls for ban on group donations City mayor and school trustee Casey Cook both want union and corporate campaign donations eliminated

By Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestrecord.ca

Casey Cook is a veteran of New Westminster’s election wars. He’s won four elections to be on city council, serving 12 years. He ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2005, and is about to enter his 10th year as a school trustee having been elected three times.

All of the board of education campaigns,

he claims, were on his own dime. No corporate donations, no trade union donations and no endorsement from the New Westminster and District Labour Council.

“Not that that’s important, I’m just saying it buttresses what I believe,” said Cook, whose Elections B.C. declaration in 2014 showed he paid all of his $2,328 campaign expenses.

What he believes is there should be a ban

on corporate and union donations for civic election campaigns.The provincial NDP government recently announced a bill to end corporate and union donations for provincial elections.The legislation did not, however, include municipal elections although they fall under provincial jurisdiction.

A resolution calling for similar financial handcuffs to be put on municipal cam-

paigns is expected to be discussed at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention in Vancouver this week.

“I’ve seen in the press where some people say donations don’t influence decisions, flat out they do. And anybody that says differently is naive, or simply not being realistic,” said Cook. “There’s plenty of cases that Continued on page 6

QtoQ gets high marks City looking to have ferry as part of the transit system

By Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster is talking to TransLink about hooking a future Queensborough to Quay ferry service into the transit fare system.

Mark Allison, the city’s manager of strategic initiatives and sustainability, said discussions with TransLink have begun in response to the success of the two-month demonstration service that concluded last weekend.

The city is currently inputting and analyzing the data accumulated from the “hundreds of surveys” filled out during the demonstration. A 40-passenger ferry that could also carry four bicycles ran every 10 minutes on weekends in August and September. According to Allison, the survey said if the ferry service becomes permanent or a possible

Mayor: More needs to be done for homeless

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster wants the provincial and federal governments to do more to tackle homelessness.

Metro Vancouver’s 2017 homeless count indicates the population in New Westminster rose by 25.5 per cent between 2014 and 2017.

Regionally, homelessness has increased by 29.8 per cent.

“There is no doubt the 2017 homeless count is not a positive report both locally and for the region, but it’s also not a surprise,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote.

“I think most people in the region recognize the issue of homelessness is a growing concern. It’s all municipalities from the North Shore to Maple Ridge.There isn’t a community that hasn’t been impacted.”

Cote said he’s proud of the work New Westminster has done in the past decade to address homelessness, but it’s not an issue cities can address on their own.

In 2014, the federal Conservative government introduced a Housing First approach to homelessness, which prioritizes getting people into permanent housing as fast as possible and providing support services as needed.

“Housing First is not supposed to be housing only,” said Coun.

Jaimie McEvoy. “That is what happened.That approach of dealing with drug addiction, homelessness, other issues of poverty and prevention – tens of thousands of people were prevented from being homeless by some of those

programs. Housing First is only words right now – there’s supposed to be a lot more that comes with that approach to be effective.

We see the result of that change in approach with the most recent homeless counts.”

Council approved motions to take to the Union of B.C. Municipalities to address issues regarding chronically homeless individuals, addictions and mental health services, and the housing outreach, referral and advocacy services that have been cut.

“I think the resolution should end with instructing the senior levels of government to work together, and to ensure that Housing First is not at the expense of the outreach that’s necessary to prevent people from becoming homeless,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr.

John Stark, acting planning manager, said the city began to see some progress in addressing homelessness as a result of developing a homelessness strategy and needs assessment, establishing a homelessness coalition, and working with B.C. Housing and the homelessness coalition to develop new emergency shelter capacity and transitional supported housing. As a result of the creation of new emergency housing and transitional housing, Stark said the number of homeless people who were unsheltered dropped from 72 in 2008 to 41 in 2011 and then 34 in 2014, before increasing to 67 this year.

“It’s the unsheltered homeless population which is the more concerning because typically people

HELP WANTED New Westminster’s homeless population increased by 25.5 per cent between 2014 and 2017, according

to Metro Vancouver’s 2017 homeless count. New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Cote wants the provincial and federal governments to do more to help cities tackle the problem. PHOTO RECORD FILES

who are unsheltered are not accessing life skills training, addictions counselling and other support services,” he said. “In 2014, we see that number continue to decline and then in 2017 we see a significant increase in the unsheltered homeless population.”

Stark outlined some of the reasons for the increase in homelessness in the region, including a lack of affordable rental and non-market rental housing. He said low vacancy rates and increasing rents may lead people to experiencing homelessness for the first time.

Other factors contributing to homelessness include an increased emphasis on the chronically and episodically homeless - at the expense of measures to prevent homelessness; funding cuts to housing outreach, support and advocacy services that targeted vulnerable populations; and inadequate funding from senior governments to address addictions

and mental illness.

“With regard to mental health and addictions, and this is not just within New Westminster but when we look at Metro Vancouver as a whole and based on the 2014 count, we see that large percentages of people who were either sheltered or unsheltered deal with addictions and mental health issues,” Stark said. “Access to those services is really difficult and there are long wait lists.”

Earlier this year, the regional task force on homelessness released an action plan that included a recommendation to have the provincial and federal governments work with municipalities and community agencies to implement an immediate action plan by the end of 2017.

The report, Addressing Homeless in Metro Vancouver, identifies 12 key priorities based on the goals of preventing people from becoming homeless, serving those

who are homeless and finding pathways out of homelessness.

Cote said there are key segments of the population that are over represented in the homeless population, including aboriginals, people with mental illness or addiction issues and people who are aging out of foster care.

“The issue of homelessness is a complex issue and there is no magic bullet solution. But just because a problem is complex doesn’t mean that there aren’t solutions and policy action that can be taken to help address the issue,” he said. “One thing that I think became very clear in the Metro Vancouver report out of the task force was that we spend a lot of time dealing with the immediate problem and hardly any efforts dealing with people before they become homeless.”

EDUCATION

Trustee surprised at McBride school news

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

At least one school trustee is surprised the New Westminster school district’s proposal to replace Richard McBride Elementary School is now before the province’s Treasury Board.

At Tuesday’s school board meeting, trustee Jonina Campbell questioned why the Record was told the district’s replacement proposal for Richard Mc-

Bride Elementary was before the Treasury Board before the school board.

“To my understanding that’s not the case,” she said at the meeting.

“We have not submitted, through the Ministry of Education, this to Treasury, right?” Campbell asked staff.

But according to staff, the ministry does not have to share when a project is sent to Treasury, so while the proposal has been submitted to the ministry, the

district wouldn’t necessarily be told if it made it to Treasury. (Treasury Board meetings are also done incamera so the agenda is not made public.)

“We often know that it may go to Treasury in the next couple of months but … we don’t get a phone call to say you’re going to Treasury,” he said. “What we do is just keep conversations going with the ministry and encouraging them to keep it as a high profile.”

Last week, New Westmin-

ster MLA Judy Darcy told the Record the replacement proposal submitted by the school district was being reviewed to determine whether replacing or upgrading the school made the most sense financially. Because the anticipated cost of the project is so much, the proposal has to receive Treasury Board approval, Darcy said.

“The information that I have is that one of the issues that’s under review is whether given the cost in-

volved for this school, what makes the most the sense.

Is it seismically upgrading it or is it replacing it?” she said.

The Sapperton school was built in 1929. It has a seismic rating of H1 and has the highest risk of widespread damage or structural failure. McBride wouldn’t be reparable after an earthquake. (The existing New Westminster Secondary School is also classified as H1.)

The district estimates a

complete replacement of Richard McBride Elementary would cost about $20 million while a seismic retrofit would cost about $18 million, according to the district’s five-year capital plan.

“I think we present a very good argument as to why it should be replaced,” Duncan said, adding Richard McBride is the district’s number 1 priority now that the New Westminster Secondary School replacement project is underway.

City Beat Mayor backs banning union donations Ferry discussions Continued from page 1 show that donations influence decision outcomes. It simply needs to stop.”

He’s a bit baffled why the NDP didn’t include municipal elections in the legislation.

“If they find those should be the standards and the norms for themselves, it’s hard to understand how they believe that should not be extended to local government,” said Cook.

The bill also includes provision for the province to subsidize candidates to the tune of $2.50 per vote, something Cook opposes on principle.

“It’s difficult to see how that might be extended to the local level. Somebody smarter than I am may figure that out, but that’s a little difficult to understand how that might play out at the local level,” said Cook.

Forcing civic candidates to be basically self-financed with donations from individuals might make it difficult to attract candidates, Cook admitted. But he believes it’s worth changing

the rules.

“The kind of money that is spent on elections is very, very off-putting. I know there’s no solution that resolves everything, but there are definitely issues to consider about how, where financing is a challenge, how they can get into politics.That is something to

... it simply needs to stop be considered. But getting money on votes doesn’t resolve that either,” said Cook.

Mayor Jonathan Cote has won four elections, three to become city councillor before successfully ousting incumbent Wayne Wright in 2014.To get elected three years ago he collected nearly $61,500 in contributions.

Corporate donations totalled $8,700 and unions pumped in $16,700. He managed to collect $34,470 in individual donations.

Cote said the provincial

legislation should be extended to municipalities.

“No doubt it would change how local campaigns are financed, and it would likely mean that local campaigns would become much, much smaller,” said Cote. “Overall, it would be in the best interests of democracy and getting the public’s trust.To me, I’ve always been supportive of these types of changes, and I would encourage the provincial government to provide clarity as quickly as possible.”

Cote doesn’t buy the argument corporate and union donations sway council votes. Perception may be the reality, though.

“I don’t necessarily fully agree those donations ultimately have a big influence, but if they do in a reduction in public trust or to cynicism, ultimately, that hurts our democratic process.

British Columbia has lagged behind many other jurisdictions across the country when it comes to electoral finance reform, and I think it’s time for us to catch up,”

said Cote.

“I’m going to be very supportive of the motion that appears to be coming forward at the UBCM.The provincial government’s focus was on the work they’re doing, but given the province has control of electoral finance at municipal elections, to me it would seem natural that the types of changes they’re talking about and thinking about would also apply there. Given we’re one year (Oct. 20, 2018) away from a municipal election, I think it’s only fair they provide clarity on all those changes so all of the individuals considering running in the next municipal election know what the rules are ahead of the time.”

Cote said elimination of corporate and union donations would lead to smaller, grassroots campaigns.

SFU political science professor David Moscrop told The Canadian Press, “There’s no logical reason now or moral justification to not apply it now to the municipal level. It would be ridiculous not to.”

Continued from page 1 one-year trial is given the go-ahead, many users would like to see it integrated with the transit system. “(TransLink does) have portable readers their agents use on board to check cards and that actually allows people to tap into the system, as opposed to putting in a permanent fare station you could potentially just have people tap in so they could continue to use buses or SkyTrain.That would be one option,” said Allison.

“We’re in discussions with TransLink about the potential to do that.”

Allison said about a quarter of the passengers surveyed said they would use a weekday service for morning and afternoon commutes, or in the evening to go to restaurants, night classes or events in Vancouver.

Other issues raised during the survey were a desire for a vessel with less noise and emissions and improving accessibility for those with wheelchairs and scooters.The ramps at the

downtown dock underneath the Inn at the Quay and on the south side of Port Royal in Queensborough were considered too steep.The city decided to go ahead with the demonstration service anyway because of logistics and cost.

But Mayor Jonathan Cote and city councillors have said any long-term service would have to accommodate accessibility.

“We’re definitely going to have to hit the ground running on that, and we’re already exploring some systems that are used in the United States that potentially allow ramps to be used for wheelchairs. Otherwise, we’ll be looking into a more complex ramp system that provides the grades that allows people in wheelchairs to use (the ferry),” said Allison.

Overall, the response was positive, said Allison. For the final weekend, which included a day in which there was a threat of inclement weather, there were 1,400 passengers who used the service.

Fire rips through home A Sapperton home built in 1925 was nearly destroyed after a fire raged out of control for two hours on Friday.

The home on Garrett Street near Sherbrooke Street was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived around 3:30 p.m.The resident and a neighbour were trying to douse the blaze with a hose and a portable extinguisher, according to deputy fire Chief John Hatch.

In all, 20 firefighters, including three engine teams and a rescue team, attended. It took firefighters two hours to contain the blaze, Hatch said.

“It was controlled at that point, and the threat to the neighbouring houses had stopped at that time,” Hatch said, adding the blaze wasn’t entirely out until later that evening.

As for the cause of the fire, investigators were still combing through the scene on Tuesday.Together, the fire department and police department will conduct an investigation to try and determine what sparked the inferno, Hatch said.

“The house today has been identified as not liveable,” he said. “It’s nearing a com-

From Sept. 8 to 15, thousands of lacrosse fans descended on Queen’s Park Arena for the 2017 Mann Cup.The Peterborough Lakers won the 2017 title, defeating the New Westminster Salmonbellies in six games.

“With over 13,000 fans visiting the arena over the six nights of games, we consider the overall conduct of visitors and teams to the facility to be excellent,” said Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks and recreation.

minimal damage to the arena during the course of the Mann Cup, with staff reporting two minor incidents.

“A patron apparently ‘punched’ a hole in the drywall in one of the washrooms. Damage is considered minimal and easy to repair,” he said in an email to the Record. “The visiting team, during the course of their victory celebrations, did cut one of the lacrosse goal nets off the goal frame.

The team has agreed to pay for the replacement of the net (estimated to be a few hundred dollars).”

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr commended the New Westminster Salmonbellies for a thrilling series. He said he hopes the nucleus of the team remains intact and

gets another shot at bringing the trophy home next year.

“It was an incredible series,” he said. “I think the New Westminster Salmonbellies organization did us very proud.”

Mayor Jonathan Cote also offered congratulations to the Salmonbellies for their exciting Mann Cup run. In the lead-up to the Mann Cup, Cote challenged Peterborough Mayor Daryl Bennett, with the losing team’s mayor having to wear the opponent’s jersey at a city council meeting.

“I understand from the mayor of Peterborough that the Lakers jersey is currently being shipped and is on its way to New Westminster,” he said.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Note to Horgan: Don’t follow Liberals’ FOI lead Thousands of miles from a U.S. voting booth, a Russian company with a history of pushing propaganda sought to sway the U.S. presidential election through social media. That is a threat to democracy.

Amid the chaos of Venezuela, the constitution is set to be rewritten following a questionable referendum.

That, of course, is a threat to democracy.

But closer to home,

British Columbia faces a different democratic threat: sloth.

By law, B.C.’s government must respond to freedom of information requests within 30 days. But approximately 20 per cent of the time, our previous Liberal government broke that law, according to a recent report from B.C.’s privacy commissioner.

By 2016, our government appeared to be over-

run by sedated banana slugs, as the response time for overdue requests leaped from 47 to 62 days.

However, the most dazzling displays of sluggishness were reserved for journalists, who faced the longest lag time.

While not precisely a slow coup, the trend is nonetheless troubling. If the government controls when information is released, it can control how

Government slowdown for releasing info is unacceptable it will be perceived, discussed, and used.

Freedom of information requests must be honoured. And not just be-

cause we need to know how much lead is in our drinking water. And not just because, as a CBC freedom of information request recently revealed, our previous Liberal government asked oil and gas companies to refine the language of recommendations related to climate change.

No, the most basic reason these requests must be honoured is because the

information belongs to us.

And without timely, easy access to information, the simple fact is that that information becomes stale and lost in the process.

We certainly hope one of new Premier John Horgan’s memos to both his government’s new bureaucrats and MLAs is simply: In the case of freedom of information requests, sooner is better than later.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

A quick guide to Liberalcontenders The one feature of the B.C. Liberal Party leadership race that stands out the most is that no one stands out.

There are more than a half dozen candidates, but there is no obvious frontrunner and no clear advantage held by any of them. Most are relatively unknown (even those who had been cabinet ministers in government) or whose identity is confined to geographical regions.

As of this column’s writing, it appeared there would be about eight candidates for at least the first part of the race (to continue past Dec. 29th, each candidate has to give the party $50,000, which should cull the field somewhat).

Here, then, is an attempt at handicapping each candidate (posted in no particular order): Mike Bernier The former education minister from the Peace River area, Bernier’s challenge will be establishing himself in the nearly 50 ridings within Metro Vancouver (each riding is assigned 100 “points,” which are distributed among the candidates based on how many votes they get from members in the riding).

Likeable and moderate, he could benefit from the preferred ballot system that will be used, as he may be many voters’ second or third choice.

Andrew Wilkinson A former cabinet minister, Wilkinson must overcome being cast as a member of the elite, as he represents the wealthy

Vancouver-Quilchena riding on the city’s west side.

But he appears to be wellorganized and seems to have started that organizing earlier than any of his rivals.

Wilkinson must also shed the image he honed while in government – coming across as arrogant and all-knowing (he’s both a doctor and a lawyer).

Dianne Watts A former Surrey mayor and Conservative MP, there’s no question Watts brings some profile and experience to her candidacy bid.

But she’ll get a rough ride by some for her lack of history in the party (some will go as far as accusing her disloyalty) and her lack of party experience may hurt her chances of being named a second or third choice by many voters.

Mike de Jong The best known of the field (he’s been an MLA for more than 20 years), de Jong brings experience but also baggage (some will no doubt lay the election loss directly at his feet). As well, any party member wanting “renewal” is unlikely to vote for him.

Sam Sullivan The former Vancouver mayor’s chief reason for entering the race is to raise some provocative issues, such as legalized drugs, more private health care, charter schools and selling government liquor stores.

Not sure he’ll be there at the end.

Paddlewheeler to the rescue

It was full-steam ahead for the crew of the MV Native when they came across two stranded men in the Fraser River.

The iconic paddlewheeler, moored in New Westminster and serving a routine dinner cruise in July, was just setting out for the dinner hour when the crew spotted the men afloat in the water.

Their Sea-Doo had stalled and began to sink. Fortunately, MV Native’s crew was there at the right time and pulled the soaked men out of the drink. It was the first rescue by the Native in 21 years of operation.

Opinion Think of the children Dear Editor: Your article in Thursday’s paper only adds to the growing concern I have about Richard McBride and the safety of our children.

We constantly hear that there is no question “if” an earthquake will hit the Lower Mainland but “when.” I have two children that attend Richard ...surely the McBride, a safety of our school that is children comes no different than when first I attended over 35 years ago. Given what just happened in Mexico you would think that would be enough to shake things up and stop talking and get doing.

I quite understand the financial magnitude of this project but surely the safety of our children comes first.

You have literally stated in black and white should a 7.1 magnitude earthquake strike here, McBride has the potential of collapsing. This is simply throwing our children to the wolves, so take a minute and think of us parents who are literally doing this everyday and commit to a decision for their sake.

A quick guide to the wannabes in the Liberal leadership race Continued from page 8 Todd Stone The ex-transportation minister has youth and a reputation of thorough organizing on his side. Needs work on his communication skills, and needs to widen his appeal beyond his Kamloops regional base.

City Beat New West school district Toll removal cuts down on superintendent retires traffic through New West

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster school district will lose one of its senior staff members at the end of this year.

Superintendent Pat Duncan announced on Wednesday he would retire as of Dec. 31 to spend more time with his family.

Duncan started as a teacher on Vancouver Island in 1983. During his time in the classroom, he taught English, physical education and leadership, eventually serving as viceprincipal, principal and director in the Cowichan Valley.

“This was my first superintendency. Prior to that I was in Victoria as deputy superintendent and associate superintendent for a combined eight years,” he told the Record.

But Duncan’s favourite job will also be teaching.

“I always will be a teacher,” he said.

“I love being in the classroom, I love working with students. My passion was to make our education system the very best it could be and to do that I felt I needed to leave the classroom and go into administration.”

Duncan took over as superintendent in New Westminster in August 2015 after the previous superintendent John Gaitpman retired. (Before that, Duncan and Gaitpman had worked together for about six years in Victoria.)

During his time as superintendent, the New Westminster school district has opened a new school – Fraser River Middle School – and has received funding for the much anticipated replacement of New Westminster Secondary School.

Duncan has been a major part of the planning for the new high school and is sorry he won’t be around when it opens. Despite

that, he has no regrets after 34 years in education.

“I’m so excited about the transformation our education system is going through in British Columbia. I think we’re leading the pack,” he said.

“I’m glad to be part of that transformation.”

New Westminster has had four superintendents in the past four years, including John Woudzia, acting superintendent Al Balanuik, John Gaitpman and Duncan.

There’s no word yet on who will replace Duncan in the district office.

If you think there’s been less traffic on local streets, you’re right.

Since tolls were removed on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges on Sept.

1, Mayor Jonathan Cote said that weekday traffic has decreased by 11 per cent in New West, while weekend traffic volumes have gone down by 17 or 18 per cent since Sept. 1. He said that’s a “significant step” to getting traffic volumes in the city back to what they were before the new Port Mann Bridge was built.

“Another significant factor is, we don’t have the numbers but anecdotally it looks like a lot of the commercial truck traffic has reduced quite substantially too,” he said.

“Given how that traffic wasn’t efficiently using the Pattullo Bridge, it appears to be having a pretty positive impact in terms of the flow on the Pattullo Bridge.”

Cote provided the Record with the latest numbers on the Pattullo Bridge, which showed traffic on a number of roads in New Westminster.Traffic was counted dur-

ing the week of Sept. 11 to 17 and compared to the same week in 2016. ! Pattullo Bridge – an 11 per cent decrease in total traffic volume, or about 8,620 fewer vehicles per day. ! McBride Boulevard – about 10 per cent less traffic on on an average weekday – or about 4,588 fewer vehicles per day. ! Royal Avenue – about a five per cent decrease in total traffic on an average weekday – or about 1,582 fewer vehicles. ! Brunette Avenue – a six per cent decrease in total volumes on an average weekday – or about 2,372 fewer vehicles.

At the Sept. 21 Mayors’ Council meeting on transportation,TransLink staff said traffic has increased by 25 per cent on the Port Mann Bridge and by 20 per cent on the Golden Ears Bridge since tolls were eliminated.

“There’s no doubt we have seen some benefits here in New Westminster with the tolls being removed, but conversely, there are other areas that are actually seeing new congestion points around the Port Mann Bridge and the Golden Ears Bridge.”

the electrical utility objecting to the use of Roundup and asking B.C. Hydro to monitor and control its use. According to a staff report to council, the herbicide was used to treat vegetation at the New Westminster substation on July 25.

“It really is quite a dangerous

chemical,” said Coun. Lorrie Williams.

The report said B.C. Hydro mostly manages vegetation on its rights-of-way in Queensborough and Connaught Heights and the substation manually with weedwhackers.Vegetation at the city-

owned Royal II substation on Agnes Street is also done manually but Weed B Gon is used at times.

“That appears to be much less harmful to the environment,” said Williams.

Local actor, director part of upcoming play New Westminster residents will be part of the fun when Stage 43 Theatrical Society kicks off its 2017/18 season.

The theatre company opens the season with the comedy A Bench in the Sun, which tells the story of a pair of longtime friends who live in a retirement home and spend their days on a bench in the garden bickering.When a once-famous actress moves in, and they learn that the home is about to be sold, the stage is set for the friends to take action.

New West resident Wayne Nolan appears as Burt, one of the friends in question, and Nancy Ebert is the actress Adrienne.They’re joined by Paul Clarke as Harold.

They’re directed by another New West resident, Stephen Torrence.

A Bench in the Sun is onstage at the Evergreen Cultural Centre, 1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam (next to the new Lafarge Park-Douglas SkyTrain station) from Thursday, Oct. 12 to Saturday, Oct. 21.

Shows are on Oct. 12, 13 and 14 at 8 p.m., Oct. 15 at 2 p.m., and Oct. 18 through 21 at 8 p.m.

An added bonus for attending: Stage 43 is partnering with SHARE Family and Community Services. Partial proceeds from each ticket sold will be donated to SHARE’s Better At Home program, which helps seniors with day-today tasks so they can continue to live independently.

So you can help a good cause and enjoy a good night out.

Doesn’t get much better than that.

– Julie MacLellan

District seeking input from parents Cayley Dobie CLASS ACT

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

School is back in session and so is Class Act. Just a reminder, if you have any school-related tidbits – be it an event, fundraiser or just some good news – to share with the community, give me a shout at cdobie@newwestrecord. ca.

Now, on to the good stuff.

SURVEY SAYS The New Westminster school district is looking to develop a strategy to ensure all students have adequate food and to promote healthy eating, and it needs your help.

The district is asking families with children enrolled in New Westminster schools to fill out an online survey to provide feedback that will help staff develop any programs or subsidies that could be offered, notes a write-up.

Some ideas include a breakfast for students before

school starts, a grab-andgo program, and/or a daily lunch.This is in the early stages, so the sky’s the limit right now.

And for families in need, the district plans to have subsidies available for whatever program it chooses.

The questions are easy (I promise) and should only take a short time.To fill it out, go to tinyurl.com/SD40Food.

GREEN MEANS GOLD École Qayqayt Elementary School was officially recognized with a LEED Gold certification.

The school, which opened in 2014, received the honour from the Canada Green Building Council. LEED, which stands for leadership in energy and environmental design, is an international mark of excellence for environmental design, noted a press release from the school district.

The school features energy efficient lighting and heating, floors that don’t need chemical cleaners, electric car plug-ins in the

parking lot, lots of natural light to help the sustainability of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, and efficient faucets and irrigation systems.

“We’re pleased with it,” said New Westminster Schools facilities and operations director Dino Stiglich. “There’s a lot of extra work involved to meet the gold standards.”

Qayqayt is the first school in New Westminster to be awarded LEED Gold.

The district is also seeking LEED Gold standard for Fraser River Middle School, its newest school, which opened in September 2016, and will seek it for the new high school, once it is complete.

NEW EXECUTIVE FOR DOUGLAS FOUNDATION There is a new set of executive members leading the Douglas College Foundation.

“This year, we are shifting our focus to strengthening and deepening the foundation’s relationships with our donors and volunteers,” said foundation executive director Leanne Poon in a press release. “We are incredibly grateful for our new executive.They are providing their expert advice as business and community leaders to increase the foundation’s community profile and increase philanthropic support for our students, programs and the college.”

The Douglas College Foundation provides financial assistance to students through donations.

Community OUR PAST

‘A celestial fugitive’ in 1867 Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

In the latter half of 1867, the local news still featured stories about the new Confederation of Canada and how it was working out, but elsewhere in the local news of the day there were other items of interest.

Not that long ago, right here in B.C. in 2017, a highly colourful meteorite flamed its way across parts of the province and seems to have ended up in the Kootenays. In 1867 there was a similar sighting and it also attracted strong notice from our citizens.

Under the heading of “A Celestial Fugitive” we read: “A remarkably brilliant meteor made its appearance a few minutes after 10 o’clock on Thursday night, in the eastern horizon, shooting

across the sky with great rapidity, it emitted blue and yellow light,” As we have noted a number of times, our early community had a great affinity for presentations of all sorts including drama, recitations, theatricals, music, and so on. In the newspaper, the New Westminster Dramatic Club stated it was hoping to erect a venue for such presentations and was requesting a piece of land to lease or buy for this purpose in the middle of the town.The “notice to lot owners” makes this clear as they wanted “a lot that would be suitable as a site for the projected new theatre and ball room…within a radius of 300 yards from the junction of Columbia and Mary streets.” (Note that Mary Street was Sixth Street then.)

Also from 1867, an interesting comment on finding people to harvest crops, in this particular case, in B.C.’s Interior.This is an eye-opening item in which the general sentiment could have been written today.

The article under the heading “Passing strange” read as follows: “The weather continues considerably favourable for harvesting, but although $60 a month and board, is offered for farm labourers in the Interior we are assured that thousands of bushels of grain, and hundreds of acres of hay will rot on the ground, owing to the impossibility of procuring help.

Think of that, $60 a month and found, offered, and no takers.”

Cult classic onstage in New West It’s become a cult classic, and now it’s coming to the stage in New West.

The Vagabond Players are opening their 2017/18 season with a production of Little Shop of Horrors, the hit musical featuring book and lyrics by Howard Ashman and music by Alan Menken.

Little Shop of Horrors – best known to many from the 1986 film starring Steve Martin and Rick Moranis – follows the story of meek and mild flower shop assistant Seymour Krelborn, who has stumbled across a peculiar new plant species – which he names after his crush, Audrey.

The plant, Audrey Two, grows into a bad-tempered, foul-mouthed carnivore who offers fame, fortune and the girl he loves in exchange for feeding its growing appetite for blood – mixing Motown, B-movies and the American Dream along the way.

The Vagabond Players cast is led by Ryan Waechter as Seymour, with Annie Arbuckle as Audrey. Ross Friesen is Mr. Mushnik, the cranky owner of the run-down flower shop, and Thomas Lamont is Orin Scrivello, Audrey’s abusive boyfriend. Regi Nevada offers up the voice of Audrey Two, and the cast is rounded out by Carly June Friesen, Janelle Reid and Tiana Swan as Crystal, Ronnette and Chiffon, the trio of 1960s street urchins who set the scene.

BCAA and United Way help kids feel safe, cared for and ready to take on the world.

Join us.

Onstage: The Vagabond Players cast of Little Shop of Horrors. Top row: Janelle Reid as Ronnette, Tiana Swan as Chiffon, Carly June Friesen as Crystal, Ryan Waechter as Seymour Krelbourn, Ross Friesen as Mr. Mushnik, Annie Arbuckle as Audrey and Thomas Lamont as Orin Scrivello.

The production features an all new, custom-built set of puppets that bring Audrey Two to life.

from Oct. 5 to 29, with shows Wednesday to Saturday nights at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

Celebrating Seniors

New West seniors invited to test their limits Theresa McManus

There’s no limit to what seniors can accomplish.

That’s one of the messages older adults will hear at the Seniors Festival 2017, which is taking place on Saturday, Oct. 21 from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Century House.

“The theme this year is Set No Limits, which is a cool theme for us older people,” said Lois Brassart, a member of the city’s seniors advisory committee and chair of the seniors festival committee. “There are many older people doing remarkable things.”

The annual festival is a celebration of National Seniors Day. “It’s going to be fun,” Brassart said. “Come out and find out all about setting no limits.That’s what the whole day is going to be about.We are asking the exhibitors to do something fun at their tables, so it’s not going to be like a bor-

ing trade show. Everything has been geared toward entertaining the people who come.There is going to be a lunch too – a special Seniors Day lunch.”

Red Robinson, who recently retired after 64 years in radio, will be the day’s keynote speaker. He’ll share a few highlights from his new biography, Red Robinson:The Last DJ. Colin Milner, CEO of the International Council on Active Aging, will bring a message about living bold, not old. Crooner Darcy Murdoch (a.k.a. Bobby Bacchus) will entertain with songs by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin and Nat King Cole. “(Murdoch) was the recipient of a double lung transplant,” Brassart said.

“Part of when he’s singing, he talks about how you can do anything – you can get a double lung transplant, you can change your life and be on stage and be Bobby Bacchus.There are no limits to

what you can do.”

About 40 exhibitors from New Westminster will present information that can either assist or be of interest to seniors.

“A new thing this year is the trinket market, which is older adults 55-plus selling art and handicrafts for $25 or under.That’s new,” Brassart said. “Every year we try and do something new.”

The event is presented by the City of New Westminster and planned by volunteers on the seniors advisory committee. Century House is at 620 Eighth St.

On display: Entertainment, information and exhibitors are part of the fun of the 2017 Seniors Festival in New Westminster.

The festival, taking place on Saturday, Oct. 21 at Century House, has a Set No Limits theme.

The Seniors Services Society is making a return trip to Italy for its annual fundraiser.

The society is holding its third annual Evening in Tuscany fundraiser at La Perla Ballroom at River Market on Sunday, Oct. 1 at 5 p.m.The event, featuring an Italian-inspired dinner and show, raises money for the society’s support services programs that serve more than 700 New West seniors annually.

“We need our community’s support to continue these vital support services.

These programs are a basic need and the support can change lives,” said Kara-Leigh Bloch, executive director of the Seniors Services Society. “Help make a difference.”

little assistance to live safe, comfortable, healthy and independent lives. Because the programs aren’t fully funded, the society relies on donations from individuals and businesses in the community.

More than 100 volunteers help ensure the Seniors Services Society is able to help seniors live at home as long as possible. Here’s a sampling of the many programs offered by the New Westbased group: Meals on Wheels: 7,423 low-cost, nutritious meals delivered to more than 60 clients.

Dining and lunch club: took seniors on 141 trips on the society’s 16-passenger bus to eat and socialize in local restaurants.

Better at Home: 7,057 appointments to provide housekeeping, grocery shopping, transportation and support calls.

Assistance, information and referrals: 137 volunteer-led sessions to assist with income benefits and form filling.

AS WE AGE ‘We need to be doing better’ Advocate releases results of residential care survey

A host of improvements need to be made to the province’s residential care system, according to B.C.’s seniors advocate.

On Sept. 15, Isobel Mackenzie’s office released what’s being billed as a “landmark” survey.The questionnaire, conducted between June 2016 and May 2017, asked seniors and their frequent visitors (20,000 British Columbians in total) what quality of life was like at their care home – everything from social connectedness and physician care to staff responsiveness and quality of food.

Fifty per cent of residents rated the overall quality of the care home as very good or excellent. Eightyeight per cent reported they felt safe and 86 per cent said they felt staff treat them with respect.

Meanwhile, 62 per cent of seniors said they don’t get to bathe or shower as often as they want, and one in

four said they sometimes, rarely or never get help to the toilet when needed. Almost 46 per cent of residents said there is no one living in the facility they consider a close friend, and 45 per cent noted there’s no one for them to do things with.

Less than half of respondents said staff regularly make time for friendly conversation.

“For the first time in this province, we have heard the collective voices of some of our most frail and vulnerable seniors across all of our care homes,” Mackenzie said in a press release.

“What they are telling us is that while some are satisfied in some areas, overall, we need to be doing better, and in some cases, much better in ensuring the needs of residents are met.”

The survey also showed nearly half of residents only sometimes, rarely or never have the same care aide

on most weekdays, and that four out of 10 seniors don’t want to be there.

Mackenzie has made eight recommendations to improve the system.

They are: increase staffing levels; increase flexibility around when and how care, services and activities are delivered; increase activities for weekends and evenings; provide better physician care; examine opportunities to improve the meal-time experience; provide ongoing education for all care staff on the importance of residential emotional well-being; foster greater engagement with family members; and do the survey again in two years.

“We have to remember that for people who are living in residential care, this is their home, and very likely their last home,” said Mackenzie. “We need to do all that we can to ensure those who live there, have the very best experience possible.”

Aky Karamli Barat has been hard at work harvesting this year’s crop of goji berries.

Karamli Barat, who has lived in Canada for 20 years, picks the fruit from the boulevard trees in front of Sapperton residences each year in late summer and early fall. She first became acquainted with the berries in Iran.

“In my country we have a lot of these trees,” she said.

“That’s why I know these trees.”

Unfamiliar with the socalled super fruit, many

passersby are surprised to learn the berries are edible and tasty.The key, she says, is picking the berries when they are fully ripened.

“Now is good.Two weeks ago it was good,” she told the Record on Sept. 15.

“Before that, the taste is not good. Sour and very bad.”

Karamli Barat will use some of the berries to make jam, while others will be soaked in vinegar and salt for a couple of weeks before being eaten. In addition to being tasty, she said the berries are a very good antioxidant.

Enrol in MOSAIC’s skilled immigrant program

Staff work one-on-one with clients, connecting them to employers, associations and mentorship opportunities Newcomers to Canada often face the challenge of translating their skills, qualifications and experience into something local employers will value.

MOSAIC’s Career Paths for Skilled Immigrants program helps bridge that gap and transition immigrants and refugees into the workplace.

“If they’re an accountant, our goal would be to get them certified with CPA and have them get a job in accounting at the same level as they were before in their country,” said program coordinator Marina Gherman.

On average, newcomers spend anywhere between 11 and 22 months in the program.

“A big part of the program is connecting them to employers, to associations, to mentorship opportunities,” she said.

Clients also get a career services advisor, added Gherman, and clients attend

workshops on resumé writing, interviewing, networking and team building.

MOSAIC, also provides funding for newcomers who

need that little extra certification to get them hired.

“With accountants, if they need some training in a particular payroll software that is used in Canada, even though they’ve done it before, we would be able to fund the training for that.

If they need to do their credential evaluation to see how their credentials from back home, how it translates

into something local, we would be able to fund that,” explained Gherman.

The program is funded through provincial and federal dollars, and replaces the previous Skills Connect program offered at Douglas College.

MOSAIC has been tasked with helping newcomers across B.C. who have backgrounds in accounting and administration, as well as those living in Burnaby and New Westminster who have a regulated or unregulated occupation. Regulated professions are ones that require certificates (for example, a pharmacist), and unregulated professions are everything else.

Intake for the Career Paths for Skilled Immigrants program occurs on an ongoing basis.

To qualify, clients must be a permanent resident for five years or less; be a skilled immigrant with more than

“If you are a newcomer to New Westminster and you need help with your job search, come to MOSAIC,”

said Gherman, adding the program is run out of MOSAIC’s Burnaby office at 5902 Kingsway.

‘A pretty special ship’ Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestrecord.ca

Mark MacKenzie has had his heart broken many times the last few decades. But, in June, it was mended somewhat by Parks Canada.

For much of his adult life, MacKenzie, 53, has worked with historic sternwheeler boats. He’s fought for their preservation for decades, including New Westminster’s Samson V. He sought to have it designated as a national historic site because of the paddlewheeler’s importance to the city’s waterfront and to industry up and down the Fraser River.That was a no go for the feds.They had already been there, done with a trio of regular paddlewheelers – the S.S. Klondike in Whitehorse, the S.S. Keno in Dawson City,Yukon, and the S.S. Moyie in Kaslo, B.C., which MacKenzie worked on during two stints.

Getting recognition for old boats has been a struggle. But MacKenzie was persistent, even though he has since moved on to operating vessels that actually move as a captain with Paddlewheeler Riverboat Tours. He did another application, this time asking for a broader designation as a historical event because of the importance snagboats like the Samson V were to industry on British Columbia rivers.

“That’s the one they bought,”

said MacKenzie of the unveiling of a plaque in late June acknowledging the historic work of the vessels. “I was just really pleased.Working on heritage ships has been breaking my heart for a long time.”

The Samson V is the fifth in a line of wooden, steam-powered snagboats operated by the federal department of public works.The Samson I was built in 1883 at the W.G. Bowen shipyard in Victoria.

The V was launched in 1937, the same year the Pattullo Bridge opened, and worked the river until it was retired in 1980.That’s when the city bought it for a buck to preserve it as a museum.

In Canada, snagboats were unique to British Columbia.They were mostly confined to working the Fraser and North Coast fishing rivers.

The vessels were especially suited for shallow, fast-moving waterways like the Fraser.Their job was to remove anything that could wreak havoc on fishing nets, log drives or the passenger and freight sternwheelers that operated from the days of the Cariboo gold rush to the 1920s.

Every year they’d haul a thousand or so tree trunks, boulders and other obstructions out of the river.They could also pile drive, and break up log and ice jams.

LOWEST PRICE OF THE YEAR—ALL WEEK LONG!

Samson V significant vessel Continued from page 35 They were right for the job because they were flatbottomed and could skim lightly over the water and scoot up on sandbars, yet still haul objects weighing up to 50 tons with their cranes and pulleys. In their era, they were the heavy rescue tow trucks of the river.

“The engines and the winches on the front of this vessel could pick up some of the largest logs that you could imagine, and just lift them up on the bank.They could pick cars out of the water and swing them onto the bank,” said Rob McCullough, New Westminster’s manager of museum and heritage services.

Former Samson V captain Albert Gibson told MacKenzie about extracting a huge cottonwood from a channel beside Barnston Island.The tree was so waterlogged that when the Samson tugged, its backend lifted out of the water.The crew had to cut the tree into pieces with a chainsaw and take them to shore individually.

In the early 1930s, an old sailing ship anchor was pulled from the river. No one else wanted it, so the Samson adopted it for its own use. It was passed from the Samson IV to the Samson V, where it still sits on deck.

The Samson V weighs 418 gross tons and has 115 feet of deck.The ves-

sel could accommodate up to 14 crew members including a cook, who sometimes would bake pies in the morning and trade them to Natives for fresh salmon that he’d serve for dinner, said MacKenzie.

In all, there were eight snagboats, including the five Samsons, patrolling B.C. waters. Samson I, McCullough said, was repurposed in Prince Rupert where it was known as the Goliath of the North. “(Samson and Goliath) are good names because that’s what they really represented was strength. Sometimes brute force and ignorance is what works when you’ve got to clear ways for things to get through,” said McCullough.

The Samson V is now a floating museum moored just west of the River Market. It’s basically the same spot where the Samsons resided during their working days.

“The history of this vessel is intimately intertwined with the overall narrative of our waterfront,” said McCullough as he stood in the vessel’s officer mess next to the kitchen.

By teaching others about the significance of the vessel McCullough began to realize “it’s a pretty special ship.”

“This ship was one of many factors contributing to a lively, industrious waterfront in New Westmin-

ster,” he said. “It’s kind of pivotal to the identity of our city, and the fact we’re currently undergoing a rejuvenation of our riverfront. It’s got a slightly new identity, different types of industry, different types of work are coming through here.

But we’re also trying to hold onto what made our city and this place what it is today.This is kind of a cornerstone of that identity.”

ASK A REALTOR

Q A

Will the HRA have any effect on home prices in Glenbrooke North?

If you own a home in Glenbrooke North I believe your land value just went up as a result of the new HRA in Queens Park. No one likes local government telling them what they DERRICK THORNHILL can or can’t do with their home Park Georgia Realty and property. The new HRA in the Queens Park Neighborhood is going to feel like a strata to some buyers. Redevelopment potential has now been limited to the handful of homes built post 1941 in Queens Park. Additions to homes will have to be sensitive to the surrounding properties. This will almost certainly equal red tape and extra expense. The true value of the HRA initiative in Queens Park will take generations to be truly appreciated.

However, today, it made Glenbrooke North the most sought after neighborhood in the city overnight.

As such, creating a logo that represents you is a core business activity, just as important as leasing office space, recruiting the right people or developing your product or service. A good logo should be seen as an investment.

Designing or redesigning a logo often involves: 1) Research 2) Naming and tagline development 3) Brand strategy 4) Design or restyling of existing logos 5) Typography and colour palettes 6) Brand identity guidelines.

ASK AN ESTHETICIAN

Q A

Do pores open and close?

Your pore size is determined by your genetics. Fair skinned people tend to have less visible pores, while those with darker and/or oilier skin may have more prominent KATIE MARSHALL ones. Pores are nothing more than tiny openings in your skin that are connected to a hair follicle and an oil gland. Pores don’t have muscles, and that means they can’t open or close. It doesn’t matter what you do there’s no way to change the size or your pores.Your pores are consistently open, which is required to allow us to sweat - sebum, is released from the pores.

When clogged pores fill up with oil and dead skin cells, they stretch the pore. Proper cleansing, weekly exfoliation, using alpha hydroxy and/or retinol serum at bedtime, helps them APPEAR smaller, because they are clean!

Q A

I would like to start cooking for my pet.

How should I get started?

Although there are many specially designed foods for pets, there may be situations when your pet may benefit from a home cooked diet.

Check with your veterinarian before DR. MANJU ARORA changing your pet’s diet.

Your veterinarian can provide you with dog and cat food recipes that are formulated by an animal nutritionist. It is important to use recipes that have been properly formulated and nutritionally balanced. Read more: www.completeandbalanced.com. It is very important not to make any changes to recipes. Supplements that are recommended to balance the diet must be added exactly as specified.

Some human foods can be toxic or dangerous to pets.

Goodwin Penalties fail to slow down Hyacks steps down NewWest maintains No. 2 ranking by knocking off host Mount Douglas as ’Bellies coach

By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Time for a change after nine years standing atop WLA bench

More flags than a shipyard usually spells trouble, but it didn’t hamper the New Westminster Hyacks’ voyage last week to Victoria.

Despite having four touch-

downs called back due to penalties, New West topped No. 4-ranked Mount Douglas 29-6 in the B.C. capital on Friday.

Quarterback Kinsale Philip connected with receivers Finn Stark and Sebastien Reid for touchdowns, on throws of 35 and 25 yards, respectively, to

bookend the offence.

“Statistics-wise we didn’t have huge numbers in the game, it was kind of a collective,” said head coach Farhan Lalji. “The defence did a pretty good job, we caught three interceptions in the game.The offence was all in, but no one totally dominated

with a big, 200-yard game.”

The one major force, building on his recent performances, came from Reid. Each major called back was one the Grade 12 receiver/punt returner had his hands on, including two returns.

Four trips to the Mann Cup, including the last one as head coach, will be the stat line that grabs the headlines for outgoing New Westminster Salmonbellies head coach Steve Goodwin.

What should be the primary lead is the passion which he brought to the game.

The New West native confirmed Tuesday that he will not be returning behind the bench after five years as head coach.

A successful real estate agent, Goodwin is relocating to Kelowna, and while maintaining ties in the Royal City, is stepping down as ’Bellies coach.

“I am stepping away. ... I’m moving to Kelowna. It’s more of a lifestyle decision,” noted Goodwin, 53. “I’m going to miss the team but I’m still going to help out if I can.”

The head coach since 2013, the plan when he took over the club was centred around the 2017 Mann Cup. They got there, but were unable to contain the Peterborough Lakers after taking a 2-0 series lead.The visiting Ontarians prevailed with four straight wins earlier this month to claim the national title. “(Peterborough) did a good job.They had guys that could score from anywhere on the floor,” said Goodwin. “When it comes down to it, that was our job, to stop them. Sometimes we did, sometimes we didn’t.We were pretty much within a goal every game.”

Getting there took a lot of work and strategizing, with the groundwork beginning in 2013, he said.

“Four years ago, after our first year of coaching, the players were still enjoying a Mann Cup high (from 2010) but we were just a middle-of-the-road team. (General manager Dan Richardson) made some changes based on being in the (2017) Mann Cup, at home. Everything we did was based on being in this Mann Cup. “Part of our goal was to be there in 2016 and to come back and win it in 2017.We didn’t get there (in 2016) but we came awfullly close to our goal,” said Goodwin.

Although some players indicated after the loss they were retiring, Goodwin said he believes most will return.

“It’s early, because there were a lot of emotions and other things, but talking to them after it seems like a lot of the core group plans on staying together because we feel we have something special here.”

Goodwin said his coaching career, which included four years as an assistant with Bob Salt, benefited from the help of two mentors.

“I have two of them: Bob Salt and Jack Fulton Jr.They were the two, and the Continued on page 40

New West girls launch new season

The Hyacks senior volleyball coach has numbers, raw enthusiasm at his disposal

By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

With solid numbers to build around, New Westminster Secondary senior girls volleyball coach Manny Valoma can envision a happy run as the Burnaby-New West league hits the courts this week.

Although a third of his players are giving the game a try for the first time, he expects enthusiasm and school pride to provide helpful validation.

As part of that reality, the firstyear high school coach has set out a simple goal – get better each time out.

“For a lot of these girls it’s a first-time playing this sport.The enthusiasm was there, they’re really pumped and they want to play,” said Valoma, who coach-

es at the Focus Volleyball Club.

“It’s good. I’m glad we were able to play Moscrop and kind of get the nerves out before the season starts.”

New West played its first and only exhibition game this past Monday, beating the Moscrop Panthers’Team White 3-1.

Being just the third time the Hyacks took to the court together this year – including practices – the result wasn’t as important as the enthusiasm showed during and after the game.

“We take each of these moments as a bit of learning opportunity, if we can.We don’t get a lot of time between sets to try and correct anything, but we try to do what we can,” said Valoma, who shares the coaching duties with NWSS teacher Jeff Meville and daughter Sam Valoma.

Last year’s Hyacks finished 1-6, with their lone win coming against Alpha.They did push Burnaby Mountain twice before falling 3-2 on two occasions. Prior to that, New West over the past 10 years was a middle-ofthe-pack program, usually finishing a game under or at .500.

And while Moscrop has the numbers and talent to run two teams – Team White will only play an exhibition schedule, while Team Blue will be one of the powerhouses of the league – New West is targeting a playoff spot. Only two players with the Hyacks also play at the club level, whereas a majority of the Panthers’ players compete with the Apex club.

There’s no doubt there will be growing pains, but Valoma is thankful for having 15 keen play-

ers, including a handful of Grade 12s, who come to the court eager to work on their game.

“I think the trickiest part, at this stage, is skill development.

It’s trying to get everyone confident in what they can do, and go from there,” he said. “I think (Moscrop) was being kind to us, for sure. I know they’re a very strong team, so for us to hold our own against (Moscrop) that will be good.

“Our goal that we set out is just to improve as the season goes on. It’s a quick season, so we want to come out and keep improving game after game.”

New West opened the regular schedule yesterday (Wednesday, past the Record’s deadline) against Moscrop.Their next test comes Oct. 4 when they host Burnaby North at 6 p.m.

Hyacks blast past Rams Continued from page 39 the flags didn’t hurt them, it is an area that will catch up to them if the practise continues.

“Our discipline also needs to be better.The officials did a good job and we simply can’t give that many points back as we get deeper into the season,” said Lalji.

“At some point those penalties will come back to bite you.”

Philip completed five of nine pass attempts for 100 yards.

Also scoring for New

West were Lucas Sabau, with a two-yard run in the second quarter, and Broxx Comia, on a 12-yard dash early in the fourth quarter.

Enjoying a strong game was Grade 11 fullback Michael Kingsley.

“Michael has been a really big surprise with us, he’s getting a lot of touches and big touches… He’s having those types of outputs when he gets the ball you look and say ‘Yeah, you’re running pretty good.’”

second of three straight road games (Saturday, 1:30 p.m.).

The No. 5-ranked Fighting Irish lost their regular season opener 25-9 to Belmont last week.

“Defensively, (Van College) has a real plan on how they want to defend us, more so than any other team,” said Lalji. “For them, they are always very good positionally, flow to the ball very well and tackle very well.We have to sustain blocks and play good fundamental football.”

Goodwin steps off ’Bellies bench

Continued from page 39 only reason I’m coaching is because of those two.They were very influential.

“Jack and Bob coached me for three years in junior; we went to two Minto Cups then. Bob coached me for three years in senior, and I coached with Bob for four years in senior. I spent 10 years with Bob Salt.

With Jack, I’ve always phoned up Jack and bounced things off him,” he said.

When Salt was let go by the senior ’Bellies after 2010, Goodwin coached the New West intermediates for two years, before

taking over the top job in 2013.

His record as a head coach stands at 5135-4 in the regular season, and 13-16 over four Western Lacrosse Association playoffs.

Whoever takes over the reins will inherit a strong, committed lineup, Goodwin said.

For now, Goodwin is focusing on next week’s move to the Okanagan. But New West will still be home, he said.

“I’m keeping my roots, we’re keeping our house in New West and my name on the office door. ... I’m not gone. I’m still going to be around.”

DISCOVER JACK’S. ALWAYS NEW STOCK!

Y I A N N I S G R E E K TAV E R N A With the ever quickening pace of modern life, taking the time to enjoy a family style meal in a relaxing environment is a luxury that anyone can experience by stepping into Yianni’s Greek Taverna. An Uptown institution in New West for the past 10 years, Yianni’s presents authenticity with each traditional dish it serves.

RetroTeck Vinyl Windows • Bug Screens Included • All standard sizes stocked - from 2x2 to 10x5

The centerpiece of Yianni’s success is their dedication to quality. “We guarantee each dish that leaves our kitchen is prepared to the standards our customers have come to expect,” says Pawan Thandi, manager. “We prepare authentic Greek cuisine using only the best ingredients.”

• Over 70 Sizes Stocked in store!

• Patio Doors 5’, 6’, and 8’ wide

Doors, doors, doors & more doors!

• Huge selection… Interior, exterior, new and used, residential and commercial 4912 Still Creek Avenue 604-299-2967 NEW & USED BUILDING MATERIALS

• Wood, metal and fiberglass • Double, single, sidelights, pre-hung and without frames

Great service! Great people! Great prices!

We do it the old fashioned way. No shortcuts.

We make everything in-house from scratch.

- PAWA N T H A N D I , M A N AG E R

One way to ensure authenticity is to adhere to traditional preparation methods that have been perfected and handed down from generation to generation. “We do it the old fashioned way,” says Pawan. “No shortcuts.

We make everything in house from scratch.”

Their dedication to the ingredients and attention to detail also extends to their customers. Pawan is particularly proud of the staff at Yianni’s. “The servers who work here go above and beyond to create a connection with the customer. We take pride in getting to know all of our customers, from regulars to one-time visitors, we aim to create a welcoming atmosphere.”

In creating that warm and familial atmosphere, Pawan makes sure to keep his

management style receptive and motivating.

“I trust my employees to make the right decisions and I also encourage them to voice their concerns. We have an open line of communication and we use that communication to create a better workplace.”

And because affordability is an issue for many people in the lower mainland, value is another important aspect of the customer’s experience at Yianni’s. “We want our customers to enjoy our dishes without breaking the bank,” Pawan says. Given that the traditional taverna in Greece is where locals and tourists go for home-cooked meals at affordable prices, Yianni’s is maintaining the taverna’s reputation half a world away.

After earning the loyalty of a legion of regular clientele, Yianni’s is also devoted to giving back to the community that supports it. Every year, the restaurant provides hot meals and warm clothing to those in New West who need it with the Yianni’s Annual Winter Initiative.

Yianni’s recipe for success and longevity in an industry characterized by high turnover is obvious. “Our business model is simple, good food, great prices with the best service,” says Pawan.
