KICKED OUT OF NAVY FOR BEING GAY

Apology is deeply personal for McFadyen ‘I don’t think people can understand unless they lived through it ... the feeling of being worthless ... a degenerate’ By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

When 17-year-old Vance McFadyen’s three-year term with the Royal Canadian Navy was cut short after 11 months by a medical discharge in 1960, there was nothing wrong with him medi-

cally. The lie he told family and friends was that he’d been let go because of acute sea-sickness. The truth was he’d been discharged because he was gay. During his first shore leave in Bermuda he had gone out partying with another sailor and was in-

vited to the home of a 30-something hotel manager. “I fell in love, I thought,” the long-time New Westminster resident told the Record. “I thought I was going to live in Bermuda for the rest of my life. I was a very insecure, immature 17-year-old, so I stayed AWOL for two-and-a-half

days until he was tired of me and I had to go back to the ship.” Upon his return, he was shunned, given the silent treatment by the entire crew, he said. He was charged with being AWOL and, after breaking down and admitting to his duty officer that he was gay, he was sent home

on the next ship back to Halifax – isolated in the sick bay for the duration of the trip. Two days after his arrival, he was taken by himself to a large gymnasium, seated on a chair and interrogated by four officers. Continued on page 11

Meet New West’s new Citizen of the Year PROFILE

Nadine Nakagawa Occupation

CONSTITUENCY ASSISTANT FOR MLA JUDY DARCY FOR THE LOVE OF A CITY:

Why is she in the news? It was 2008, and Nadine Nakagawa was moving from Vancouver Island to the Lower Mainland. She didn’t know much about the area, so she figured a place close to SkyTrain would be ideal. Enter New Westminster. Nine years later, and Nakagawa and her partner are still living in the city. They’ve moved around a few times within its boundaries, but they could never bring themselves to leave, she said. It makes sense. Nakagawa has become entrenched in the community. She’s volunteered for the Elizabeth Fry Society, Lookout Emergency Aid Society, New Westminster Environmental Partners, Brow of the Hill Residents’ Association (she is currently its president), and more.

What was your first volunteer experience in New Westminster? One of the first things I volunteered for was the Elizabeth Fry Society. I volunteered in their dropin centre for marginalized women, and then later I ended up working for them for three years. From there, what was next? Once I started working for EFry, I could no longer volunteer for them, obviously, so I did a community kitchen for three years for Lookout Emergency Aid.We used to do Christmas dinner and Thanksgiving dinner. … I just started going to things in New West and realizing that there’s a big group of people in New Westminster who are really involved and passionate about the community and obviously, since that

Nadine Nakagawa and her dog, Gus, at the community garden at city hall. The garden project was spearheaded by Members of New Westminster Environmental Partners, including Nakagawa, Laura Cornish, Melody Gibson and Kevin McConnell. After securing funding from the City of New Westminster in the spring, the group opened its garden to the public in July.

For her impressive number of accomplishments, Nakagawa was named the 2017 Citizen of the Year at the Platinum Awards held last week at Starlight Casino. “It was really nice,” she told the Record. “There were a few women there who I’d worked on projects with, and it felt really validating for their work as well – so it was a really nice moment.” Speaking with Nakagawa, it’s obvious she finds joy in helping people pursue their passions. The Record caught up with her this week to hear more about her volunteer experience, what’s left to do and where she’d like to see the city go from here.

– Cayley Dobie

time, I’ve found a change in the community – the number of events that go on, the number of things that are happening in the city has changed quite a bit since I first moved here. What are some challenges? What keeps you going? I think again it’s working with other people. It’s really exciting sharing your passions with other people and helping people work on things that they’re passionate about. I think the challenge is that there is so many good things going on that … there’s too much that I could say ‘yes’ to that I’d be very, very happy to be a part of, but (I’m) really trying to pick which will have the most impact or just (decide) where best to spend my time because there’s so many amazing things to be done here. Are there any other challenges that stick out? Something that I talk about a lot is diversity and diverse voices. I think that

there are lots of people who are engaged in the city. I don’t necessarily know that that group of people reflects the entire city, and I would love to be able to work with more diverse community members whose issues aren’t normally represented. … OK, so how do you get these people out if they’re not out already? I think there’s work to be done on lots of different levels, like the city, as an organization, and other local organizations. Just trying to continuously talk about it and (trying to welcome) people. I think things like when I hold events, having child care at them is always really important to me because if people are busy and working, and (if) they’re having to pay for child care to come out to a community meeting, (that) isn’t realistic for a lot of people. And … how we host events. If you have to push your way to the front to speak, to say something, to make a point, to share, a lot of people

aren’t going to be willing to do that – that’s hard for me to do – so I think maybe just trying to rethink how we behave in the public space. What kinds of supports would you like to see from the city? Recently, at council, there was a lot of discussion about diversity on committees. What role do you think the city should be playing in that? I think the city first needs to acknowledge that often what they do doesn’t reflect certain aspects of the community, and also acknowledge that they might not know because they don’t ask the question. On things like the official community plan, they asked how many renters were there, and we saw quite drastically that there was not very many renters participating. So knowing that that is true is the first step to addressing the problem, and I think being creative in outreach and also finding partners and community leaders is the key to reaching out to the

communities. You are the constituency assistant for New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy. How does your job work with your volunteer life? It goes really nicely because my job is a lot of listening, and I hear from a lot of members of the community about how things impact them. So I really have a good ear to the ground for that. It makes me even more involved that my job is working for the people of New Westminster. … I think it really just amplifies it. When you moved here nine years ago, is this where you saw your life going? No. No, I don’t know. I’d just graduated with my undergraduate degree, and I wasn’t sure. I think that this sense of community that I feel right now is really something that I didn’t expect to feel here. So no, I wasn’t sure, but it feels pretty good right now.

What’s next for you? I really want to know. That’s what everyone wants to know. Well, you’re part of so many projects and some of them are big – the truth and reconciliation stuff, it’s a lofty thing. I think I want to continue to see how that evolves in the city, and I think, again, I want to work on representation issues in the city and the community atlarge. I think moving away from some committees to more projects-based work is where I see myself focusing. Any projects lined up right now that you’re excited about? I’m very passionate about women’s leadership and diverse leadership. So there’s something that’s been sort of buzzing around about doing something about that maybe in the new year, but I don’t know exactly what that’ll look like just yet.

SCAM WARNING

If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam. Stay four steps ahead of a scam by using this scam test:

Late November to Late February 7:00 am — 8:00 pm Monday to Friday (except holidays) From Fader Street to East Columbia Street As part of Royal Columbian Hospital’s redevelopment, Bird Construction will be installing a utilities and IT pathway along Sherbrooke Street between East Columbia Street and the hospital’s private service laneway just east of Fader Street. Here’s what to expect: • Sherbrooke Street will still be open to drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, but expect delays and frequent changes. • Construction will be done one lane at a time, in ~50-metre sections (each section taking about one week) to minimize the disruption to drivers, people, and parking. Traﬃc will be diverted into the open lane as a single lane of alternating traﬃc during construction hours. (7:00 am — 8:00 pm Mon-Fri, but not holidays or Sundays) • The road just east of Fader Street will be under construction for a few days in late November, where Sherbrooke intersects the hospital’s laneway.

Vehicles foul up city’s greenhouse gas targets Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster would be on track to meet its greenhouse gas reduction targets – if it wasn’t for those darn vehicles. In 2008, the city adopted a corporate energy and greenhouse gas emissions reduction plan that sought to reduce greenhouse emissions by 15 per cent by 2017. A staff report states that the city’s total greenhouse gas emissions had decreased by 7.7 per cent between 2007 and 2016. The city tracks energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in four sectors: buildings; lighting; waste and wastewater; and vehicle fleet.While emissions have declined in most of these areas since 2007, emissions in these sectors rose from 2015 to 2016, due to factors such as increases in heating of buildings because of colder weather, the number of street lights and lighting on sports fields. The vehicle sector saw an increase of 2.8 per cent (or 47 tonnes) in emissions from 2015 to 2016, which

the city attributes to the increased services related to the collection of organics and recycling and for snow and ice removal. “The city continues to focus on undertaking projects that reduce fuel/electrical consumption in the buildings and fleet sectors,” said a staff report by environmental coordinator Jennifer Lukianchuk. “This subsequently reduces energy costs for the city.” Initiatives that are underway or being considered for implementation in 2018 include: retrofitting the lighting over the ice-playing surface in Queen’s Park Arena, in the police building and certain locations at the Queensborough Community Centre; converting some police vehicles to a dual gasoline/propane system; purchasing city vehicles with lower fuel consumption rates; piloting new LED street-light technology in three neighbourhoods; and replacing aging pump station equipment with highefficiency models. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said the city is making inroads and having successes in most sectors, but the fleet

is what’s impacting the overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. He’d like the city to take a more comprehensive look at the use of alternative fuels, such as propane and bio-diesel, for its fleet and expand the use of electric vehicles. Coun. Patrick Johnstone said the city is approaching the end of its 10-year plan and needs to start thinking about goals for the next 10 years. He said the city needs to be aggressive about meeting greenhouse gas targets and set policy that allows the city to meet its targets. “We need to have a better discussion about our fleet. Our fleet is what is holding us back right now,” he said. “We are doing really well in buildings.We are doing really well in solid waste.We are doing well in a lot of things. It’s really our fleet that we have to take a serious look at.”

“As first time home buyers we needed A LOT of help. Lyle and Sandy have been nothing short of incredible in helping us with everything from advice to organizing needed documents to referrals for other services to being a listening ear to our complaints on ridiculous property prices! We couldn’t have asked for friendlier, more helpful, client-first “Lyle and Sandy helped me to sell one people to assist us in this huge part of our lives.” home and buy the next one in June of this year. They were wonderful to work with, patient and professional - Steve & Aida in every way. They really are lovely people and I would warmly recommend their services to anyone. Thank you to both of you for all your efforts.”

“This is the second time I have had the opportunity of working with Sandy and Lyle in the sale of property. And as with my previous experience, they did not disappoint. Sandy and Lyle are extremely professional, yet friendly and very personable. They are definitely in tune to what’s happening in today’s real estate market and were able to provide me with a very thorough CMA. After some de-cluttering, cleaning, and a bit of staging, my condo was listed, an open house took place over a weekend, and the next day we were dealing with three offers ... all over asking price! If you are looking for a dedicated and honest team, I would highly recommend their amazing service. Any questions or concerns I had were always promptly answered. Their expertise and enthusiasm definitely helped this rather emotional process go that much smoother. And as I am moving out of the lower mainland, I sadly won’t be able to have them help me look for my next home ... too bad as I know they would do an incredible job! Thank you so much once again Sandy and Lyle. You made it easy.”

- Antonia Reynolds

“My experience with Lyle and Sandy has been just wonderful. From the beginning they were very professional, friendly, and very prompt in answering any questions I had. My decision to list with them resulted in significant savings in listing fees, but more importantly, my condo sold in less than a week for more than the asking price. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of listing to consider Assist2Sell and rely on Lyle and Sandy’s professionalism and market expertise to get the job done!” - Ed Kim 14 Begbie

News May Day celebrations a go for the coming year Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

There will be no changes to the 2018 May Day celebrations. School trustees approved a motion at Tuesday night’s board of education meeting to keep the status quo for next year’s May Day. Trustee Michael Ewen argued it would give the district more time to consult with the community and the city “to more fully explore issues and options for the celebration of May Day.” The City of New Westminster made a similar request earlier this month. Out of concern there wouldn’t be enough time to act on any of the recommendations made by the May Day task force, the city urged the school board to forgo any changes to the 2018 event. Trustee Casey Cook agreed. “The city is telling us that they expect to be part of a

consultation process to look at what the options are for the future of May Day and how that will play out,” he said. Superintendent Pat Duncan sent a memo to principals and vice-principals earlier this month asking administrators to see if any staff were interested in being part of the organizing committee. Only one person stepped forward, according to Duncan. Given the low response rate, board chair Kelly Slade-Kerr said she was disappointed the city would ask the district to hold off on any changes until after the 2018 event and public consultation is complete. “We have a bare bones staff.We have no one to organize this event, and I recognize where this is coming from, but it is insulting to me that they (the city) say ‘we know you have operational challenges, but please go ahead and do this so we can consult.’ It is not rec-

ognizing the difficult position that this board is in,” she said. Slade-Kerr proposed the board ask the city to take a lead role in organizing May Day “to relieve the operational challenges of the school district.” None of the other trustees supported her amendment. The motion approved by trustees includes an invitation to the city to “partner in a public consultation to determine the future observation of May Day.” What that consultation will look like and whether the city will take part has not been decided yet. Monday was the deadline for the community to respond to the recommendations made by the May Day task force. A report on the feedback is expected to be presented to the board of education at a committee meeting next Tuesday.The meeting is at 7:30 p.m. at the school district office, 811 Ontario St.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Does an apology make the pain go away?

There’s a rainbow crosswalk in downtown New Westminster. Every year there’s a Pride festival here that celebrates the full diversity of gender identities and sexual orientations. People from all persuasions, and their allies, come out (no pun intended) to show their pride, support for each other and courage in the face of an often unwelcoming society. There’s no question soci-

ety has come a long way. If you have a rainbow flag on your car window, chances are a whole lot better nowadays that you won’t have your car window broken. Gay folks can now marry legally and adopt children.There is legislation protecting their rights in the workplace and in housing. It is sometimes hard for those who grew up in the last 30 years to grasp that homosexuality was illegal, and gay men and les-

bians were jailed for simply loving someone, that “coming out” often meant losing one’s children and that gay folk had to hide in fake marriages to keep their jobs. But it would be foolish to think everything is wrapped up in a pretty rainbow flag. Statistics Canada data released this week for 2016 show a 29 per cent increase in hate crimes. A large portion of that increase was for

crimes targeting LGBTQ people. And those crimes were more violent than hate crimes against other groups. Justin Trudeau’s apology this week, and his government’s pledge to pay reparations to the gay people who suffered punishing discrimination in the past, is a timely reminder that the equality we often take for granted is often gained through decades, if not centuries, of incremental

steps forward – with some brutal setbacks on the way. Does an apology make the pain go away? No, of course not. Ask Vance McFadyen. But it is a great contradiction to the oppression and a reminder that we can make a difference. Many will see Trudeau’s apology as politically-motivated.We would like to believe it isn’t. What support he may gain from these apologies

and reparations will probably, unfortunately, be balanced by those who may not voice their disapproval at the water cooler but will strike back in the voting booth. But even if it is politically motivated, here’s the thing: At the very, very, least it will make a huge difference for many LGBTQ people and help educate Canadians on the hidden history of another oppressed group. And that’s a good thing.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Is it time for the far right to rise?

The NDP seems hellbent on ensuring B.C. won’t see the kind of government headed up in the past by such party premiers as Dave Barrett, Mike Harcourt and Glen Clark ever again. That’s one takeaway from the NDP government’s absolute determination to change our voting system to a proportional representation model, a change that would prevent the party from having total control over its agenda should it prove victorious in subsequent elections. And that’s why a number of party stalwarts are scratching their heads, wondering why the NDP would so willingly give up the chance every four years of being in a position of implementing its own policies – and not those forced upon it by other – in favour of electoral reform. BillTieleman, a veteran NDP activist and commentator, is among those in the party who say the days of an NDP government with a mandate of progressive change – as was won by Barrett, Harcourt and Clark and, one could argue, the current Premier John Horgan – “are just about zero” in the future under a proportional representation model, he argues. “Would we ever see the future equivalent of an Agricultural Land Reserve? Public auto insurance? Worker-friendly labour code? Snowball’s chance in a very hot place,” he told me. Here’s the problem: the NDP has never won 50 per cent of the popular vote and in all likelihood never will

(only the B.C. Liberals, in 2001, have exceeded the 50 per cent mark). Under any model of proportional representation, to hold power, the NDP would have to form a coalition with another party (most likely the Green Party) and it would have to accommodate their interests, potentially sacrificing some of their own along the way. That is not the arrangement in the legislature right now.While the NDP needs the support of the Greens to maintain power, there is no formal coalition agreement (and the Greens, for all intents and purposes, are stuck having to keep the NDP in power until at least July, 2021, since that is the earliest an election under a proportional representation model can take place). And Tieleman, who successfully led public campaigns against the HST and past attempts at electoral reform and will be doing so again this time around, points to another worrisome scenario (from the NDP’s point of view) that may well take root under a proportional representation model. He says NDP supporters of proportional representation are mistakenly assuming that such a model would routinely elect left-centre governments, with the NDP taking the lead role. Not so fast, he warns. “More likely is a regular diet of right-of-centre governments with a B.C. Liberal-B.C. Conservative coalition, sometimes propped up by new and fringe hard-parties,” he says. “It would Continued on page 7

Stabbing, fire, propane, oh my! The quick action of local police and firefighters averted what could have been a serious and potentially deadly fire in April. Police were called to an apartment at 425 10th Street for a reported stabbing.They found a 58-year-old man in the hallway who had been stabbed in the back, neck and arm. He told police his assailant was still in his suite.When officers entered, though, they found a recliner engulfed in rapidly spreading flames instead.Three officers were briefly trapped in heavy smoke but managed to escape. Firefighters extinguished the blaze before it got to a nearby truck carrying a 250 gallon propane tank.

Stranger’s kindness brightened her day Dear Editor: I was at the checkout at London Drugs following a visit to the retinal specialist at Sixth Street in New Westminster, where I found I had left my wallet at home. This morning it was necessary that I take my cat to the vet, so rather than carry my purse and the cat carrier, I took only my wallet to pay the vet bill. Returning home, I set the wallet on the table instead of putting it in my purse. When it came time to pay for the item, I had no money. A kind gentleman in line behind me paid for my purchase. I wish to thank him publicly for his generosity and wish him the best of health and a measure of prosperity in return for his benevolence. Kathy Clark, by email

May Day is a colonial insult to First Nations Dear Editor: I see the celebration of May Day here as adding insult to injury by celebrating our British colonial history while ignoring the suffering and environmental destruction colonialism brought worldwide (disease, slave trade, genocide, opium wars, industrial revolution/global warming … ). “The Qayqayt First Nation, also known as the New Westminster Indian Band, is a band government located at New Westminster, British

Columbia. Qayqayt is one of the smallest First Nations in Canada and is the only First Nation without a land base.” I would find it much more appropriate to educate children about the many horrors of British colonialism worldwide and teach them a Qayqayt First Nation dance than a European one. I wonder what Qayqayt First Nation chief Rhonda Larrabee might think of settlers dancing (effectively celebrating the spoils of colonialism) on their land. Now, to do something about all those offensive Eurocentric street, school and place names in our city, not to mention changing our anthem to “we live on native land” from “our home and native land.” Paul Esslinger, New Westminster

NDP’s future threatened? Continued from page 6 be ironic if the B.C.

More diverse voices needed Continued from page 3 leadership, for women especially. Is there ever a chance that you’d consider running for city council? I would never say ‘no,’ but … I think the end goal can’t just be myself or just one person elected. I think there’s a lot of structural change that I would want to focus on.

When you say structural change, what do you mean? I think the system makes it very, very difficult for diverse voices to come forward; for women’s voices to come forward. I’ve talked to a lot of women at different levels of politics about some of the difficulties they face before and after they’ve been elected, and I think that there’s some really concrete things that we could work on together about that. Even things like offering child care at council meetings or school board meetings I think would be a real-

‘It screwed up my life pretty bad’: McFadyen Continued from page 1 “They started grilling me, asking me questions,” McFadyen said. “The first question they asked was what role I played. I remember that very distinctly. I didn’t know what they were talking about; I was too naïve. I said, ‘What do you mean, what role did I play?’ They said, ‘Well, did you get buggered?’”

I ended up lying to my family, my parents, everybody.

Shortly after the ordeal, McFadyen was given an honourable discharge for medical reasons. “I had no choice. I was out,” he said. “It screwed up my life pretty bad for the next 10, 12 years. I came back, and everyone was surprised I was back after 11 months when I’d signed up for three years. I ended up lying to my family, my parents, everybody. I told them the reason I was discharged on medical grounds is I had acute sea sickness. I held that lie for about 10 years.” McFadyen, known in New West as the founder of Royal City Pride (now New West Pride) and the Seniors Gay-Straight Alliance, is one of thousands of gay, lesbian and transgender people who got an apology from the federal government this week for discrimination and persecution they experienced at the hands of the Canadian state. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued an apology in the House of Commons to civil servants, military members and criminalized Canadians who suffered discrimination and injustice based on their sexual orientation. “You are professionals. You are patriots. And above all, you are innocent. And for all your suffering, you deserve justice, and you deserve peace,” he said. For McFadyen, who watched the apology at home on his tablet with 41year partner and husband Curt Higham, the apology was deeply personal. “I don’t think people can understand unless they lived

through it, the feeling of being worthless, being a degenerate or not accepted.” The apology comes with $110 million in compensation for LGBT civil servants and military members, like McFadyen, whose careers were sidelined or ended because of their sexuality. The government will spend another $15 million on historical reconciliation, education and memorialization efforts. It will also work to expunge the records of those criminally convicted for same-sex acts in the years when they were illegal. “It tells me that not only society but the government has recognized the injustices done,” McFadyen said. McFadyen didn’t start coming to terms with his sexuality and turn his life around until he was 33 years old, after six weeks of intense group therapy at UBC in 1973. “Once I got my confidence back, then I realized I did have things to contribute to society and to my communities,” he said. “I felt brave enough to be out and to be myself and to get involved.” McFadyen, who lived in New West from 1961 until moving to Vancouver Island in June, became a wellknown public figure here for his community involvement, which included running for city council and the mayor’s seat as well as sitting on numerous boards and civic

I don’t know how anything can make it better and give back the dignity to those people.

Proud: Former New Westminster resident Vance McFadyen, pictured here at a New West Seniors GayStraight Alliance open house, was discharged from the navy in the 1960s for being gay.

to stand up and make note of that is a huge step in the right direction, but for the families that have been affected by what happened from the ’50s to the ’90s, I don’t know how anything can make it better and give back the dignity to those people.”

Residents will soon be able to dine in two prominent buildings in downtown New Westminster. City council has directed staff to process rezoning, special development permit and liquor primary licence applications that will pave the way for the opening of a pub and restaurant in the 1898 Canadian Pacific Railway (formerly the Keg) building at 800 Columbia St. A Carlos O’Bryan’s restaurant will be located on the ground floor and a Kelly O’Bryan’s pub will operate on the upper floor. “It’s what we dreamed about,” said Reg Henry, CEO of Kelly O’Bryan’s Neighborhood Restaurants and Carlos O’Bryan’s Neighborhood Pubs. “We are going to open next week for the restaurant.The pub won’t be open for probably a couple of weeks – we heard two or three weeks for Victoria to respond to what

❄

the city sent them.” The business, which will be owned and operated by Jennifer McCreath, is expected to open on Dec. 6. Also set to open at the corner of Eighth and Columbia is Piva Modern Italian restaurant in Anvil Centre. “I think it’s a really exciting time for downtown New Westminster.We have been working really hard over the last decade to revitalize Columbia Street in the downtown area. I think we are starting to see the retail start to connect with the vision of downtown New West, and we are starting to see more retail like restaurants that serve the local population in the neighbourhood.We are pretty excited about that,” Mayor Jonathan Cote told the Record Wednesday. Cote notes a third restaurant is also set to open in December in downtown New West, with Ludica Pizzeria and Game Room opening on Carnarvon Street.

Top 10 ways to get into the Christmas spirit NewWestminster is full of holiday cheer - here are our picks for the top things you should do this season Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Christmas is here, bringing good cheer – and listmaking and organizing and baking and shopping and planning and stress and headaches … If you need to take some time to step away from the hustle and bustle and get yourself into the holiday spirit, never fear.There is an array of Christmassy events to choose from, and we’ve rounded up our top 10 favourites to get you started. 1. WELCOME SANTA AT THE SANTA CLAUS PARADE. With a ho-ho-ho and a wave or two, the Jolly Old Elf himself is returning to downtown New Westminster for the annual Santa Claus Parade along Columbia Street on Saturday, Dec. 2, starting at 11 a.m. Expect floats, bands and other entertainment as the parade makes its way down the street – and you’ll want to arrive early to stake out a good spot, especially if the weather’s nice. (Be sure to dress well for the weather.) Kids can head into the Anvil Centre between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. to write and send their letters to Santa with some holiday helpers from Canada Post. 2. SHOP. And we don’t mean braving the lineups at crowded malls, either.We mean checking out one-of-a-kind works by artisans at some cool markets. On Saturday, Dec. 2, it’s time for New West Craft’s third annual Christmas Night Market – with 50

vendors, live music, food, wine and beer, and more. It runs from 6 to 9:30 p.m. at River Market, and it’s free and family-friendly. See www.artscouncilnewwest. org for more. Then, on Saturday, Dec. 9, you can return to River Market for the Tinypreneurs market. As the name suggests, the featured vendors are children who want to become successful entrepreneurs.They’ll be showcasing their business ideas and selling their products from noon to 3 p.m. Check out www.tinypreneurs.com for more. 3. REVEL IN THE SOUND OF CHRISTMAS BELLS. The annual Carols and Bells concert returns to Queens Avenue United Church for the 20th time on Sunday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. Five handbell choirs representing players of all ages will share their talents. Combined choir pieces and carol singing will also be on the program. Tickets are $20 regular, $15 students/seniors and $10 children. See www. queensavenue.org. 4. LAUGH YOUR WAY THROUGH A HOLIDAY PANTOMIME. The Vagabond Players are returning to an old tradition by presenting a holiday pantomime of Sleeping Beauty – with more than a few twists. Join the fun as a prince stumbles across a castle in Queen’s Park that nobody else can see, and an old man tells him a tale of how an evil fairy put a curse on a princess 116 years ago. It runs now till Dec. 17,

Community They’re brewing up a new hangout in Sapperton Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Something is brewing in Sapperton – and the Sapperton District Taphouse wants to be part of the action. Hitesh Panchal and Ghalib Rawji purchased the Fireside Pub in Sapperton two years ago with the goal of transforming the pub and creating a social gathering place for the burgeoning neighbourhood. “We wanted to bring a gastropub here with a craft beer combination, and bring aYaletown/Gastown experience to the people of Sapperton and New West,” Panchal said. “Sapperton is booming.” With a variety of developments planned for the neighbourhood, an expansion underway at Royal Columbian Hospital and the Brewery District being built just down the street, the plan was to create a neighbourhood pub so residents don’t have to venture out of town to check out craft breweries in Vancouver, Richmond or Port Moody. “It’s a cool concept because of the craft beer. We want to bring the craft beer community together.They love their craft beer,” Panchal said. “Bud and Bud Light are the only two mainstream beers that we have. Everything else is pretty much craft.” The neighbourhood pub features 33 craft beer taps from Lower Mainland breweries, including Steel & Oak, Dageraad and Stanley Park Brewing, but it also carries a selection of wines. Beer flights can be accompanied by sliders, while wine flights are partnered with a cheese board – all part of the social experience the pub is going for. “It’s more like a social hangout place.That’s the vision we had in mind,” Panchal said. “We wanted a social gathering place.” The Fireside Pub’s crowd typically consisted of middle-aged men, but folks of all ages are enjoying the

ambience of the Sapperton District Taphouse.While minors weren’t allowed in the previous pub, they’re welcome to accompany their parents in the District until 8 p.m. “This is what we wanted – families,” Panchal said. “Families can come in and have a glass of beer and a good meal.” Sports enthusiasts can watch all the action on two large-screen projectors and a dozen TVs, while drinking craft beer and dining on gastro-pub food like Ugly Duck Wings, Creole prawns in garlic butter or deep fried ice cream. The business partners are no strangers to the industry, as they also own Rocky Point Taphouse in Port Moody and The Savoy Pub in Vancouver.The Fireside had seen better days – both physically and financially – when they bought it two years ago. “This used to do $200 a day in food sales. Now I’m doing $2,000 a day in food sales,” Panchal said. “Before, nobody would come in. It was rundown. I’d see 200 people pass by, but out of 200 people, one would stop in. It was a regulars’ bar.The regulars were

Something’s brewing: Hitesh Panchal, coowner of the new Sapperton District Taphouse, believes Sapperton is the “next happening place” in Metro Vancouver.

great.They supported us all the time, and they still support us.They love the change.” In transitioning from the Fireside to the Sapperton District Taphouse, the owners spent nearly $250,000 renovating the space at 421 East Columbia St. With a West Coast vibe, the District retains an oldtime feel with the addition of a brick wall and retention

thrilled to be operating a pub in New West and are exploring other business opportunities as well. “New West is a great community,” Panchal said. “We were looking to get a brewery here, but haven’t been successful so far.That

was before we bought this bar.Then we said, ‘You know what? We are in the bar industry, why don’t we open up another bar?’We are still interested.We will still be looking into it.”

AS WE AGE

Celebrating Seniors

It’s time you joined the ‘longevity revolution’ Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecod.ca

A man who ran a marathon on his 100th birthday and a woman who graced the cover of Vogue in Italy at the age of 73 are examples of the “longevity revolution” that’s underway around the world. Colin Milner, CEO of International council on Active Aging, recently brought his message of Living Bold, Not Old to the Seniors Festival in New West. Instead of setting limits on what they can accomplish, he encouraged seniors to consider what they’d like to do if they had another 30 years of life. “The challenge is a lot of times we don’t stop and think about that until it’s too late,” he said. “It’s never too late.” According to Milner, the average life expectancy at the start of the 1900s was 47 years of age, but people are now living about 30 years longer. He said people can maximize their lives by doing some simple things

such as staying active, reducing stress, getting sleep and maintaining connections with others. “It always starts with a why. ‘Why do I need to worry about this? I’m 80, I’m 70, I’m 85, I’m 90 – I don’t need to change the way I age.’Well, I can tell you are probably going to live a lot longer,” he said. “The question is, what is the quality of life that you want between now and then?” By the age of 65, Milner said 92 per cent of people have at least one chronic health issues and many have multiple chronic health issues. He noted that how people managed those issues has a “very significant” impact on how well they age. “With the chronic health issues, and not managing them properly, some of us will end up spending the last five, six, seven, eight years in ill health. It doesn’t have to be that way,” Milner said. “Today, many of us can actually reverse a certain percentage of that.That

is why we want to change the way we age.” According to Milner, one chronic health issue will take 1.8 years off a person’s life, but the good news is people can manage and reverse that by tackling issues like high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes. Not only does that add time back on to people’s lives, but he said it improves the quality of their lives. Attitude also contributes to longevity, he said, with Dr. Becca Levy atYale University concluding that those who look at the aging process negatively live, on average, 7.6 fewer years than a person who has a positive view on aging. “When we talk about changing the way we age, it all starts up here, with our attitude, with being positive,” he said. “But positive is just one part of it. We actually need to start by changing our attitudes.” While people may not become as active as Fauja Singh, who completed the Toronto Marathon on

his 100th birthday in 2011, Milner said he’s an example of human potential. “We need to change how we perceive what we can do,” he said. “Many of you are probably not going to run a marathon tomorrow, but what it does show you is that you can get stron-

ger, that you can build your cardiovascular capacity no matter how old you are.” The theme of the 2017 Seniors Festival was Set No Limits, a theme Milner said encourages people to consider their potential – their unrealized abilities in various areas.

“It could be unrealized abilities in many, many areas, not just physical. It could be your unrealized ability in art. It could be your unrealized ability in public speaking.What are the things that you are really passionate about that Continued on page 27

you could accentuate and enhance your potential?” he said. “Potential doesn’t mean going to the extreme. It just means finding something that you are passionate about and achieving it.” To embrace their potential, Milner said people need to consider how they want to live their lives – and what changes they need to make to do that. On the physical front, Milner said one of the keys to aging well is to remain active and strong, as it helps to prevent falls. He said one-third of people over the age of 65 fall every year and 50 per cent of those individuals will fall again. “There’s no great secret to what we need to do. It’s just making exercise part of your life,” he said. “You may not like exercise – a lot of people don’t, but don’t

think of it as exercise.Think of it as ‘I’m doing something to keep my abilities at the highest levels that I can so I can get the most out of my life.’That will be your motivator, as opposed to saying, ‘I’m going to go stand on a treadmill.’” According to Milner, a U.S. study found that by the time 46 per cent of people reach the age of 80 they can’t lift a 10-pound bowling ball and 49 per cent of the population can’t walk 400 metres – once around the track – without difficulty. By improving their physical strength, flexibility and balance and addressing their spiritual and social needs Milner said people can enhance the remaining years of their lives. “It’s never, ever too late.”

If you’re worried about your cognitive health, you’re not alone. Colin Milner, CEO of the International Council on Active Aging, recently told local seniors that they should do what they can to keep cognitive abilities as sharp as possible. “There is no magic pill today,” he said. “There’s no magic thing you can do if you have Alzheimer’s, but we can try and minimize the risk as much as possible.” Learning a new language or a new software and con-

necting with others are examples of things people can do to enhance their cognitive abilities, Milner said. “Losing our cognitive abilities and our memory is the number 1 concern of most people today,” he said. “There are some really simple things that we can do to minimize the risk of that. No matter where we are on the cognitive continuum, just like the physical continuum, we can have an impact.We just simply need to do something. The Lancet, which is committed to applying scientific knowledge to improve health and advance human progress, released

the study of its dementia commission in July 2017. “Dementia is the greatest global challenge for health and social care in the 21st century: around 50 million people worldwide have dementia, and this number is predicted to triple by 2050,” said the organization’s website. “The Lancet Commission on dementia aims to review the best available evidence and produce recommendations on how to best manage, or even prevent, the dementia epidemic.” The commission has identified nine potentially modifiable health and lifestyle factors from different

phases of life that, if eliminated, might prevent dementia. “Thirty-five percent of dementia cases can be delayed or prevented through lifestyle changes,” Milner said of the Lancet study. There are nine modifiable risk factors: education (in early life); high blood pressure, obesity and hearing loss (mid-life); and depression, diabetes, physical inactivity, smoking and low social contact (in later life). Getting outdoors and practising mindfulness are just some of the things people can do to reduce these risk factors, he said.

Dazzle and impress with a gift from Cartwright Jewelers

is the season to spoil that special person in your life with all things sparkly. Since 1933, residents from across the Lower Mainland have been shopping at Cartwright Jewelers to surprise those on their Christmas list.

The well-established jeweler has everything you need, including a wonderful selection of stunning necklaces, diamond earrings, pendants and more. One of their most popular gifts this holiday season is one that gives back – it’s the CKNW Orphans’ Fund Santa’s mitten snow globe (pictured above). With four designs to choose from, they make perfect stocking gifts or great hostess gifts. Cartwright Jewelers has a long tradition of supporting the non-profit organization, which assists children with special needs across the province. “Over the last 18 years, we have raised $142,000 for the Orphans’ Fund,” says third-generation owner Susan Cartwright-Coates, adding the foundation has it’s original roots in New Westminster. Every year, Cartwright Jewelers creates a special keepsake. “Who doesn’t love a snow globe? For $10, every penny

from the sale of each globe goes directly to the Orphans’ Fund,” she says. “We pay the cost to make them so that 100 per cent of the proceeds go to this worthwhile cause.” Plus, with every purchase, customers will be entered for a draw to win a $2,000 Canadian Maple Leaf diamond pendant. It’s a win-win.

14KT Canadian Rose gold jewellery set with Canadian Maple Leaf diamonds.

Cartwright Jewelers was founded by Cartwright-Coates’ grandfather, James Daniel Cartwright, back in 1933.The store has always been a family affair, with Don Cartwright following in his father’s footsteps in 1965, and Susan joining in the 1980s. Her grandfather’s legacy of superior customer service, top quality design and craftsmanship, as well as knowledgeable employees, lives on. “Cartwright’s was one of the first jewellery stores in the Lower Mainland to carry Canadian diamonds,” she adds. “We also have a goldsmith on site to create that one-of-akind piece of jewelry.” Whether it’s a gift for someone special or a treat for yourself, its one-of-a-kind bracelets, rings, earrings and necklaces are sure to dazzle and impress. Cartwright Jewelers is synonymous with love. For the best gift ideas this year, Cartwright Jewelers has something for all budgets this holiday season.

f you are looking for one-of-a-kind, handcrafted or unique gifts, then River Market is the place to go. It definitely is NOT your everyday shopping experience. You are meeting and supporting local entrepreneurs, too.

At the kids’ toy and clothing shop called Shnoo and The Pachooch - yes, that’s the name - there are beautiful wooden toys sourced from Europe such as train sets, kitchens and car runs. Store owner, Alicia, also brings in rompers, aprons, tutus, hats and teething jewelry made by local “momprenuers.”

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

An artist is bringing two different views of art to the walls of Plaskett Gallery for December. Two Different Views, by Jacky Hosford, runs at the gallery from Dec. 1 to 24. “I hoped to present several views on art, with wellknown media such as oil, acrylic and ink in different formats, such as the fun of an abstract in acrylics and realism in oils. Both, for me, provide different reactions, impressions and moods,” Hosford says in an artist’s statement. An opening reception is set for Dec. 2, 2 to 5 p.m., and everyone is welcome. Plaskett Gallery is at Massey Theatre, 735 Eighth Ave. It’s open Tuesday to Saturday, 1 to 5 p.m., during performances at the theatre or by appointment. See www.masseytheatre. com.

holiday hustle and bustle? Check out some music at Douglas College. On Thursday, Nov. 30, it’s FusionFest2017, featuring Douglas College Fusion Bands, with special guests from Riverside Secondary and Burnaby North Secondary’s music production and technology programs. It’s at 7 p.m., and admission is free. On Friday, Dec. 1, it’s the annual Student Composition Concert, an evening of new compositions written and performed by Douglas College students and directed by Doug Smith. It’s at 7:30 p.m., and admission is free. Both concerts are at the Laura C. Muir Performing Arts Theatre, fourth floor north, at 700 Royal Ave. See www.douglascollege.ca/ artsevents for details.

VIVALDI’S

THE FOUR SEASONS

IN THE LIBRARY

Get reacquainted with the world of science

AT MASSEY THEATRE

Science doesn’t have to be daunting or boring Alicia Dobbs

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Close your eyes, and think of a science book. Did you imagine a heavy tome full of academic language – or a high school textbook taunting you with memories of exams gone by? Think again! Let us introduce you to popular science writers whose books communicate scientific concepts in works that are highly entertaining, well-researched, and most importantly, accessible to the casual reader. Start with AsapSCIENCE: Answers to theWorld’sWeirdest Questions, Most Persistent Rumors, and Unexplained Phenomena by Canadian author duo Mitch Moffit and Greg Brown. If you want to get even wackier, move on to former NASA roboticist Ran-

dall Munroe’s book What if?, which gives scientific answers to absurd hypothetical questions such as, “What would happen to the Earth if the sun didn’t exist?” and, “Could you build a jetpack using downward-firing machine guns?” Consider the end of the universe with Death from the Skies! by astronomer Phil Plait, who presents cosmic catastrophes like black holes and supernovae in an easy-to-understand and witty fashion. If you haven’t had enough star talk after that, pick up Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, Neil Degrasse Tyson’s snappy introduction to the universe. Looking for something more down to earth? Try medical mythbuster Don’t CrossYour Eyes – They’ll Get Stuck thatWay! And 75 other health myths debunked by pediatrician and researcher

Aaron Carroll. If the news has you feeling down, try some of these inspiring popular science reads. Unstoppable: Harnessing Science to Change the World is an urgent yet optimistic call to action from Bill Nye (yes, the Science Guy). If you’re interested in technology and the future, try Ten Billion Tomorrows by Brian Clegg, in which he discusses how technological advancements shown in science fiction could be – or have already been – developed in real life. There are many other popular science books on a variety of topics at the library, so come by and see what’s in. For more astronomy resources and suggestions visit us in person, visit nwpl.ca or call 604-527-4660.

Arts & Entertainment Inclusion B.C. hosts ﬁlm festival

A film festival this weekend in New Westminster is exploring the representation of disability in Canadian film. Inclusion B.C. is hosting its third annual film festival on Sunday, Dec. 3, in recognition of the 2017 UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The festival features a

two-hour program of short films that explore the way disability has been portrayed in Canadian film. Inclusion B.C. partnered with the National Film Board to present a journey from the early 1960s to the present day, with the première of Inclusion B.C.’s own short film, Disability Pride 2017. “Join us in Canada’s

150th year as we explore how the portrayal of disability in Canadian film has reflected our evolution from exclusion to disability pride over 60 years, and how the disability rights movement related to Canada’s broader transformation towards a more just and inclusive society for all,” a press release says.

The program starts at 7 p.m. at the Anvil Centre Theatre, 777 Columbia St. Tickets are $10. See www. inclusionbc.org/filmfest. At 6 p.m., audiences are invited to a closing reception for the Inclusion B.C. art exhibition Big House: Selections from the Inside/ OUT! at the Anvil Centre Community Art Space.

Inclusive voices: Petra’s Poem is one of the short films that will be featured at the Inclusion B.C. festival Dec. 3. PHOTO COURTESY NFB

Business PLATINUM AWARDS

New West Hospice takes top prize for non-proﬁt Platinum Awards handed out at gala event last Thursday Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A local group looking to bring death out of the shadows was recognized by the New Westminster business community at the 2017 Platinum Awards Thursday night. New West Hospice Society took home the top prize for Not-For-Profit of the Year at the annual business awards gala at Starlight Casino, organized by the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce. The society was founded by five New West residents in the fall of 2016. The idea was to provide people who are nearing the end of their lives with ample opportunity to live as fully and comfortably as possible.The group also works to create support networks for those grieving the death of a loved one. To accomplish this, the community has to learn how to talk about death openly,Vivian Wong, one of

the founders, told the Record when the society was incorporated. “It’s to dispel some of the fear that prevents people from wanting to go there and talk about it, engage in it,” she said. “It’s something that all of humanity shares, but most of society shies away from the topic.” Nominated alongside the New West Hospice Society for Not-For-Profit of the Year were Aware, Boucher Institute, Salvation Army and the Royal Canadian Legion. In all, more than 50 businesses and business people were in the running for an award at the annual Platinum Awards. Categories up for grabs included Customer Service Excellence; Home Based Business of theYear; New Business of theYear; Community Spirit; Green Business of theYear; Innovator of theYear; NotFor-Profit of theYear; Business of theYear; Entrepreneur Under 40 of theYear; and Business Person of the

ASK A HAIR STYLIST

Q A

The dryer’s wattage and weight are the first things to look for. A blow dryer’s ANDRÉA ALLEYNE wattage measures how hard and STYLIST fast its motor works, so the higher the wattage, the faster you’ll be able to dry your hair. If you choose a lower wattage dryer, it won’t dry your hair as fast, and you will have to replace it more frequently. You will also want a lightweight model that will be more comfortable to hold while you’re drying your hair, making it much easier to reach the back of your head. You can find some great blow dryers for sale at our salon, which will make a great gift for this holiday season.

Timeless Shaker style is a sure bet and works with many different counters, hardware and backsplash materials. • Can’t decide between two different styles?

Try playing with two different colors for cabinetry or contrast a single bright color with neutral ﬁnishes. • A distressed ﬁnish can cover all the bases, offering a warm look that embraces wear and tear. • Clever accessories will make your kitchen comfortable and accessible for everyone who uses it. • Whether building or remodeling, keep universal design in mind.

MEDICAL ESTHETICS BY KATIE 2018 Top 3 Skin Care Beauty Trends

What are the most important things to look for when purchasing a blow dryer?

A resurging demand for noninvasive aesthetic procedures with little to no downtime and near-instant results offering an “improved, yet better you”. IV Therapy IV therapy, a method of infusing vitamins, minerals, amino acids, chelating agents, and antioxidants directly into the vein, is a quick, efficient, safe, and powerful way of administering vital nutrients into the body. While a proper diet can provide sufficient vitamins and minerals, various metabolic disorders prevent the cells from obtaining the nutrition they require. This can lead to weakened and damaged cells that require supplemental nutrition to heal. In IV therapy, the nutrients are injected directly into the veins, allowing for easy absorption into the cells. Electric Facials Microcurrent is like a face lift without the surgery. Microcurrent helps to contour the face and tightens any sagging. Microcurrent recharges your facial tissues. It also stimulates your Adenosine triphosphate (ATP, a source of energy for cellular functions) and blood circulation, which delivers a radiant appearance. Electroporation uses an electromatic pulse that opens up a pathway in the epidermis that allows product delivery directly into the cells. This “channel” that is created for a few seconds is allowing whatever product we are sending down into that deeper level where things happen at a cellular level, to create real changes in the skin. When the pulse ceases, the cell closes trapping the product inside which allows for continued corrective changes. Microneedling Microneedling is an innovative and advanced antiaging medical therapy treatment to stimulate the production of new collagen. Using the skin’s ability to heal itself, puncturing the dermis with microscopic needles triggers the production of new collagen and elastin. This repair process begins almost immediately and results in a thicker dermis and softened wrinkles or scars. Benefits are improved skin tone and texture, more youthful skin, and improved skin health.

ASK AN ESTHETICIAN

Q A

What are Sebaceous Hyperplasias?

Sebaceous hyperplasia is the term used for enlarged sebaceous glands seen on the forehead or cheeks of the middle-aged and elderly leading to an ongoing KATIE MARSHALL problem with over-productive oil glands. They appear to be somewhat indented in the middle. This indented centre is characteristic of sebaceous hyperplasia. It has nothing to do with milia or an old spot. Sun damage is a well-known factor in sebaceous hyperplasia. The skin cells are burned or overexposed to sunlight, creating the perfect environment for the condition to prosper but, are not a precancerous condition. Sebaceous hyperplasia can be effectively treated with ﬁne-needle electrocautery, a painless procedure that may or may not require numbing. Occasionally, slightly lighter or darker pigmentation may occur at the treated areas, this usually resolves over time.

Q A

How do I “winterize” my home for the cold winter months?

The best ways to “winterize” a home is to service the furnace. Replace your furnace filter once a month during the heating JAMEISON DEMARCHI season. Dirty filters restrict airflow Owner Operator and increase energy demand. Boosting or adding insulation can make a big difference, make sure your attic floor is well covered by adding some batt or blown in insulation. Prevent cold air from getting in by updating the weather stripping and sweeps on all exterior doors. Reseal the caulking around windows. If you have a fireplace and don’t plan on using it, ask a pro how to properly seal it off. Finally, turn off and drain exterior hose bibs and pipes to prevent them from bursting in the cold weather.

ASK A RETIREMENT HOME SPECIALIST

Q A

What are some of the reasons seniors choose retirement living?

From getting to know some of our residents, I’ve learned one of the most common reasons for choosing retirement living is because many individuals simply don’t want to live on their DIYA DADLANI own anymore, and would enjoy the Chartwell Regional Manager Life Enrichment, opportunity to socialize with peers without having to travel from their Western Canada home. At a retirement community, there are many onsite social opportunities that older adults can choose from, should they wish, and many ﬁnd that having staff available 24/7 brings them a sense of peace of mind. In fact, regular socialization is very beneﬁcial to overall wellness, with many studies showing it can lead to better cognitive health. Statistics Canada research even shows that the greater number of frequent social activities that an older adult participates in, the higher the odds of them reporting positive self-perceived wellness and satisfaction in life. Chartwell Carlton Retirement Residence is a boutique style, independent seniors’ community located at Canada Way and Gilmore. Whether you’re looking to remain active and engaged, or prefer a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere, you choose the lifestyle that best suits your needs. Opening 2018 but now accepting reservations!

For a buyer interested in one of my listed properties, they have a choice. They can agree to ‘no agency’ with me, or seek representation from another agent of their choice.

Arts & Entertainment New West actor stars in A Christmas Carol

Russell Roberts is a “squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner.” Well, not really. But he’s in the spotlight playing one this holiday season. The New Westminster actor makes a star turn in the Gateway Theatre production of A Christmas Carol, appearing as Ebenezer Scrooge in Michael Shamata’s adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic. The show, directed by Rachel Peake, is on from Dec. 7 to 24. The story – which was first published in December of 1844 – begins on a bleak Christmas Eve in London, when the audience first meets Scrooge and his “bah, humbug” approach to the holidays. But a series of visitations from three spirits, taking the old miser through Christmas past, present and yet to come, changes him for the better – and forever. Roberts is no stranger to the region’s stages, with a

Late game heroics carry Hyacks to ﬁnal After blowing a 22-point lead, NewWest finds a new way to win, beating South Delta By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Style and substance have been two trademarks of the 2017 New Westminster Hyacks football team. Those two elements were present in abundance Saturday as the New West crew outlasted the South Delta Sun Devils 52-45 at B.C. Place. In a high-stakes game where elite talent was plentiful and big plays were bountiful, New West got a couple of huge late plays from Sebastien Reid, on both offence and defence, to seal the deal in a semifinal thriller. Now it’s on to Saturday’s B.C. Subway Bowl AAA final, 7 p.m. at B.C. Place. Reid scored the game-winning touchdown with 2:04 remaining and erased a 45-44 deficit, then made a defensive stop on the Sun Devils’ last drive a minute later to complete a thrilling comeback. “I love the ball in my hands.We had a game like that against Notre Dame, and I told coach just throw me the ball,” said Reid. “I just love the ball in my hands. I owed it to (my teammates) because I let up a big catch on the sidelines. I’m happy to get a play to get us to the championship.” After South Delta had cut-andpasted together an incredible rally to go ahead 45-44 with 4:27 remaining, erasing New West’s 22-

point lead in just 10 minutes, Reid took a Kinsale Philip handoff at the Sun Devils’ 40-yard line and sprinted left into the end zone. A two-point convert by Sammy Sidhu upped the lead to 52-45 with 2:04 on the clock. As Delta made one last drive into Hyacks territory, Reid batted down a Michael Calvert pass on a fourth and sixth play to end the threat and earn New West its firstever berth into the B.C. final. “(South Delta) has three awesome players who make plays all night long, so it was last man standing today,” said assistant coach Clint Uttley, who stood in for head coach Farhan Lalji. The Sun Devils’ top threats – Calvert, wide receiver Billy Mat-

wichyna and Ben McDonald – did their share of damage on the night. But New West had its share of spotlight plays, from Michael Kingsley’s 57-yard run in the second quarter, to linemanYanni Angelopolous recovering a fumble, knocked from a charging Sidhu, in the end zone for another major. Reid also pulled down a 35-yard TD pass from Philip midway through the third quarter. “Sebastien, when he’s focused, is probably the best player in the province,” noted Uttley. “He kind of sealed it tonight; he just played the game. He was awesome at specials and they started to kick it out of bounds (to avoid him). He was awesome on defence and had about four batted balls, and he had

a couple of receiving touchdowns and the reverse.” While New West’s offence doesn’t rely on a lot of pass attempts, Reid established himself as one of the most dangerous kickoff returners as well as a reliable defensive back. As a Grade 12 senior, Reid said transferring in from Tamanawis – which has no football program – was a big adjustment, even though he knew nearly everyone through community football. He was also familiar with the Sun Devils, which made the win all the more special. “I played with them since I was young, since peewee,” he said. “(Calvert’s) a great athlete, (Matwichyna) is probably the best receiver in the province or definitely second.They played tough and fought to the end. It was no surprise that they got up (late) but we just came together as a team and took it back. “I knew everybody on (New West) mostly but didn’t know how it was going to go,” he added. “We just got on a roll early and continued it, it was all because our coaches, all to our coaches.Without them we wouldn’t be in this position.” The Hyacks now line up against the defending B.C. champion Terry Fox Ravens for Saturday’s Subway Bowl championship, 7 p.m. at B.C. Place.

Preparation and selective forgetting are among the asks this week as the New Westminster Hyacks prepare one last time to play football in 2017. And there’s nothing routine about this last routine. As they prepare to face their foe the Terry Fox Ravens in Saturday’s B.C. Subway Bowl AAA championship final, 7 p.m. at B.C. Place, it all comes down to details. First, forget a lot of what was absorbed during the 10-1 regular season and playoffs.There’s no substitute for the drills pertaining to the next game. Like an actor, they need to learn their lines, get their blocking down pat and leave it all on the stage. “We’re not going to be one of those teams that all of a sudden forgets its fundamentals this late in the season,” remarked Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji. “Our fundamentals still need work and we have to focus on that this week.We’re not going to radically change how we play, we just need to get better at finishing blocks and getting off blocks and tackling.” The 2016 B.C. champion Ravens entered the year ranked No. 1 but graduated a majority of its starters and stars from the 2016 final.While the pundits would move New West into that top spot midway through a very strong regular season, Fox, now 9-3, continued to grow and gain respect, thanks to a sideline full of experienced coaches and a good mix of youthful exuberance and returning leaders. “We give (Fox) full credit for everything they’ve done.They’re a very good team, they are well coached, and they’ve been here before,” said Lalji. “They’ll take advantage of that.We’re fortunate because our seniors and our juniors, a good chunk of them, were here two years ago with the (junior varsity champions) so we draw on that. It’s not like we’re completely foreign to it.They know what it takes to get it done at this time of year.” The Ravens’ lineup includes provincial all-stars on both sides of the ball: six-foot-six offensive Continued on page 48

Hyacks focused on ﬁnal game prep Continued from page 47 lineman Matthew Hew Baddege, defensive lineman Michael Evans, linebacker Mason Reeves and a Grade 11 extra selection, quarterback Jevaun Jacobsen. Jacobsen scored three times in his team’s semifinal victory over St. Thomas More last week, lining up both at QB and running back. He has good football bloodlines, being the younger brother of Calgary Stampeders Cory Mace, and undeniable skills. “I’ve known Jevaun for a long time. He played in our youth program,” noted Lalji. “He’s a talented kid, a real good leader and a high character kid.When you put all those together, it’s a special player and they’re lucky to have him. Our goal is just to make sure we do everything we can to not let him take the game over.” Lalji, who because of his career as TSN’s West Coast reporter, has regularly been unavailable for the B.C. semifinals due to the network’s Grey Cup assignment.The past two times saw him away and the Hyacks lose. He and his coaching staff decided this year they’d try a different

approach. “I’ve gone through this every year, where I’d get prepared like I’m coaching at the game, watch the game and try talking with the coaches at halftime. It’s the most helpless feeling in the world. So I wanted no part of that, let’s try something different. “We haven’t been able to get out of that round with me away. I just thought, let’s do it differently and see what happens. I had (fellow TSN analyst) Giulio Caravatta surprise me with the result at the end of the game.” When it comes to the final week of preparation, the players understand what is at stake. Lalji said it is best if they could prepare just as they always do, without additional distractions and extra pressure on what this game means. But even he concedes it is tough. “Players know when the big games are. It is different just to culminate and ‘this is it.’ So even when it comes to getting players motivated for practice, like I said today at the film session, ‘This is your last Tuesday film session, and today will be your last Tuesday practice.That’s that.You better make it count.’”

This fresh take on Italian cuisine is coming to downtown New Westminster. Welcome to the highly anticipated Piva Modern Italian Restaurant and Wine Bar, slated to open its doors in time for the holiday season.

Rustic. Modern. Italian. In 1917, one of our forefathers, Giuseppe (Joe) Piva emigrated from northern Italy to interior BC. He spent the next ﬁve decades farming cattle, sheep, poultry, fruits and vegetables. Although he did not make his own wine, he grew grapes & provided them to close friends for their own bacchanalian pursuits. Piva honors Joe’s passion for farm fresh ingredients, traditional Italian cooking and exceptionally prepared food and drink with a modern approach. Our chef works hard, right before your eyes, using consciously sourced ingredients from local farms and artisans. Our wine list features many wines by the glass and carefully selected labels featuring the best of BC and Italy.

We follow tradition where it’s important, and are innovative in areas that our guests appreciate. CARBONARA LINGUINE

There is an incomparable appeal to authentic Italian cuisine, a unique combination of fresh flavours hailing from Italy - a historic hub for culinary excellence.

JUSTIN SYENS, GENERAL MANAGER

Piva’s elegant, industrial chic décor is showcased by soaring ceilings, elements of brass, white Italian marble, rich wood, and plush leather seating - welcoming diners in a sophisticated yet friendly atmosphere. As beautiful as the modern interior is, it’s the food and excellence in customer service that will have guests coming back for more. Staying true to Italy’s rich gastronomic tradition, the executive chef sources the finest ingredients from local farmers and culinary purveyors, with the best imported Italian specialty items for its menu.

“We will be rolling out our own in-house handcrafted pastas, sauces, pizzas and some of our own baked breads,” says Justin Syens, Piva’s general manager. “We follow tradition where it’s important, and are innovative in areas that our guests appreciate.” Its gourmet pizzas will be baked in a Napoli-style wood oven – the same kind used by notable chefs such as the celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck. Meanwhile, the well-curated selection of 90 wines, highlighting boutique wineries from BC and wines from select regions across Italy, will offer something for even the most discerning wine connoisseur. At Piva, Italian culture and Italian food are woven into an experience they like to call “our modern tradition.” 787 Columbia Street, New Westminster 604-522-0221
