NO TREATS TODAY:

The concession stand at Queen’s Park looked pretty forlorn during those weekend downpours – but a few hardy walkers remained undeterred by the weather and took to the park trails anyway.

Sad to say, it doesn’t look like we can expect blue skies over the weekend, since the forecast is calling for light rain for the next few days.

On the up side, temperatures are remaining pretty mild, with highs of up to 9 C over the weekend. And, if the forecast holds true, it might even start to clear up on Monday.

Meanwhile, keep those rubber boots handy. You just might need ’em.

MAKING A POT PLAN

City prepares for pot legalization

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster city council isn’t high on the idea of waiting until 2019 to allow cannabis to be sold in the city.

On Monday, city officials held a workshop to discuss the city’s framework for regulating cannabis, which addresses five areas that may fall under municipal jurisdiction: cannabis retail sales and consumption es-

tablishments; non-medical cannabis production facilities; business licensing regulating; public consumption; and personal cultivation.

Jackie Teed, the city’s acting director of development services, said the province is expected to unveil provincial regulations on cannabis in late May or early June, so municipalities will only have a short amount of time to prepare for the legalization of cannabis.The federal government is set to in-

on the regulation of cannabis in New Westminster, staff will get to work preparing a framework for municipal regulations.

That process includes: hiring a consultant to prepare consultation materials to be used as part of stakeholder survey and a townhall meeting; conducting an online survey to get feedback from the public and businesses; and having a townhall meeting where community members can provide input to Continued on page 6

troduce a Cannabis Act by this July, which would allow Canadians to buy non-medical cannabis from retailers who’ve been authorized to sell the product.

Teed said guidelines developed by the city will be a “key piece” of the city’s regulatory framework, as they could address issues such as the proximity of cannabis businesses to schools and the distance between sameuse sites.

Up Front EMERGENCY RESPONSE

New West reviews risks on rail lines Accident in Port Coquitlam involving a tanker truck carrying ethanol and a locomotive triggers concerns Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A recent train fire in Port Coquitlam is prompting a review of potential risks and responses in New Westminster.

Part of Lougheed Highway was closed to traffic for several hours on the night of Jan. 22, after a fire started when a tanker truck carrying ethanol collided with a locomotive.

“Instant fireball,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, chair of the city’s railway community advisory panel.

Puchmayr and New Westminster Fire Chief Tim Armstrong subsequently spoke to officials involved with the incident and will discuss the matter at the advisory panel’s next meeting.

“It should be noted that we have developed a more direct and responsive incident command and attack to these situations,” Puchmayr said. “It is also important to note that the Port Coquitlam incident occurred at an area where product is being transferred between road tankers and rail cars, which does not happen here.”

While no one was injured in the incident, the fire burned for hours.

In response to the fire,

Puchmayr said New Westminster will set up a briefing with officials from Southern Rail so everyone is “really clear” on what happens in New West in the event of an incident involving trains.

“It’s massive. It’s a major international rail carrier, and it’s a major transfer point of cargo,” he said of the CPR yard in Port Coquitlam. “Ours is not insignificant either because we have four rail companies, three delivering to Southern and then Southern taking it from there.”

New Westminster, said Puchmayr, has a different way of doing things when there are incidents on the tracks.

“It’s a little bit different with CP Rail.They sort of like to contain things on their sites and have jurisdiction, and we’ve established a different protocol in New West. All the railways agree we would lead the incident command,” he said of the city. “We are the first ones there, so we would take control and we would have a joint incident command, not two separate ones.We already have, I feel, a better system. I am more comfortable with that system.”

Puchmayr said the city will also get an update on the chemicals and products that are moving through

New Westminster. He said the fire chief is made aware of all the chemicals passing through the city and contents of rail cars are identified as well.

Puchmayr said the City of New Westminster identified a “real void” in its capacity to respond to a hazardous materials incident

after the 2013 train tragedy in Lac-Mégantic, Que., in which 47 people died when a runaway train rolled down a steep slope into town, derailed and exploded. At that time, Puchmayr said the city would have needed to call in first responders from another city.

“We realized with the

volume of trucks that go through our city and the gridlock that occasionally happens that we had to have that capacity here.That’s when we started a hazmat response in New West, so now we have a fully trained hazmat conversant fire department, whereas prior to that we didn’t,” he told

the Record. “We are miles ahead here. One of our bigger risks is an incident where thousands of trucks that go through our city every day, I think those pose even a greater risk of some kind of release of something from a rupture of a tank or a hazardous vehicle.”

THE CHANGING CITY

Heritage homeowners respond to new rules

‘Requiring residents to invest vast amounts of money to bring their homes’ values up ... is not an incentive’ Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Some Queen’s Park residents fear heritage conservation is already taking a toll on their property values.

Last June, the City of New Westminster adopted a heritage conservation area (HCA) for the Queen’s Park neighbourhood with the goal of protecting its historic nature and ensuring that all building alterations and property development respect the history and en-

hance the heritage character and value of the neighbourhood.

Under the HCA, owners of pre-1941 homes must get a heritage alteration permit and follow a set of design guidelines if they want to renovate the front or sides of their home or demolish the home.

Joanne Matson, one of the residents who opposed the HCA, said the city recently presented three incentives for the community’s consideration, but they

all related to floor space ratio (FSR), which may be great for some homeowners, but not for others. She suggested the city is basically giving homeowners the opportunity to spend “an enormous amount of money” to increase their FSR so they can recoup some of the loss resulting from the HRA. “In my opinion, it is completely unfair. Many of us can’t increase our FSR because we have little lots, our houses are in unusual posi-

tions or simply because it’s prohibitively expensive to do that,” she said. “Requiring residents to invest vast amounts of money to bring their homes’ values up to parity with the market is not an incentive.”

Matson said her family is now in a vulnerable position, as she has a little house and a massive mortgage.

While heritage advocates said the HCA wouldn’t affect property values, she said that was “dispelled pretty darn quickly” by

some of the assessments in her neighbourhood.

“Of course, we are going to have to wait another year to find out how badly it’s actually going to impact property values,” she recently told city council.

“As you may be aware, only one house that had advanced protection forced upon it involuntarily has sold since the HCA launch.

And that one sold for 18 per cent under assessed value, which will certainly be taken into account by B.C.

Assessment. No other advanced homes have sold since then.They are not going to have many houses to look at because most of them are still sitting on the market.”

As part of the two-year work plan related to the ongoing implementation of the plan, staff have been consulting with the community about zoning-based incentives for protected properties.

How the city plans to regulate marijuana New Westminster city council approved motions relating to each of the five areas of cannabis regulation that will fall under municipal jurisdiction. Here’s a closer look at all five:

CANNABIS RETAIL SALE AND CONSUMPTION ESTABLISHMENTS:

New cannabis retail sale and consumption establishment businesses would be permitted through a rezoning application, which could be evaluated by staff and council on a site-by-site basis. This approach is consistent with the city’s approach for liquor licensed premises.

NON-MEDICAL CANNABIS PRODUCTION FACILITIES: The city will consider per-

(Staff noted that federal conditions and requirements for nonmedical cannabis production facilities haven’t yet been established.) The city will also explore the pros and cons of locating these production facilities in the light industrial districts (M-1) zone and report back to council.

PUBLIC CONSUMPTION:

Staff recommends limiting consumption to all public spaces where smoking is permitted and updating the smoking control regulations to add vaping to the definition.

ers believe they should be available anywhere.

Coun. Bill Harper said people can buy corkscrews for wine at a variety of places other than liquor stores and questioned why the city would restrict the sale of devices that allow for the consumption of cannabis.

Kim Deighton, the city’s manager of licensing and integrated services, said the idea of restricting where those items are sold is intended to limit exposure to youth. She said there have been instances where a corner store near a local school

PERSONAL CULTIVATION:

Staff recommends that no additional restrictions be imposed beyond what the federal regulations will allow for personal cannabis cultivation. It’s believed that federal regulations would allow adults to grow up to four one-metre tall cannabis plants for non-medical use.

BUSINESS LICENCE REGULATIONS:

The city supports the idea of establishing business licence regulations for the retail sale of non-medical cannabis that are similar to the regulations now in place for liquor stores.

This could include limiting store hours from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. or 11 p.m., requiring staff to have criminal record

Staff also recommended the city retain current restrictions in the business licence bylaw that would allow cannabis products and paraphernalia only to be sold in cannabis retail stores.

City Have heritage policies affected property values?

The jury’s still out, but B.C.Assessment will continue to monitor Queen’s Park area and watch for trends Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

It’s too early to tell whether the Heritage Conservation Area (HCA) has had an impact on property values in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood.

Paul Borgo, B.C. Assessment’s acting assessor for the Greater Vancouver region, said the recently released assessments reflect

market trends as of July 1, 2017. He said B.C. Assessment will continue to follow sales and see if there’s any indication of a trend.

“It’s not untypical to find areas that went down slightly or went up slightly yearover-year for single-family homes,” he told the Record. “If it declined a little bit in assessed value, I wouldn’t be surprised by that, but I can’t just say it’s

simply due to the heritage conservation area. I would just say it’s just an indication of general market activity for single-family homes in the New Westminster area. Even in Burnaby and Vancouver, there were some that went down slightly and some that went up.”

A B.C. Assessment press release included examples of assessments in various communities around the region:

a 1928 single-family home on the West Side of Vancouver saw a two per cent increase (from $2,381,400 to $2,421,600); a 1908 singlefamily house in the City of North Vancouver saw an increase of two per cent (from $1,591,100 to $1,620,100); and a 1946 single-family home in the Capitol Hill neighbourhood of Burnaby rose five per cent (from $1,336,800 to $1,400,300).

In New Westminster, B.C. Assessment figures showed a 1960s single-family home in Sapperton increased by

20 per cent, a 1992 strata in a Sapperton highrise increased by 23 per cent and a 1993 downtown strata townhouse increased by 17 per cent.

“In the City of New Westminster, typical single-family changes in the assessment value from the 2017 roll to the 2018 roll was typically in the range of -5 to +15 per cent,” Borgo said, “so it wouldn’t be surprising that some properties went down.”

Borgo said B.C. Assessment will continue to look

at sales in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood, which will provide an indication of how the market has reacted to the HCA. “It’s a typical assessment change year over year for the neighbourhood,” he said of this year’s assessment.

“It’s probably a little bit early to see what any market impact is of a planning change or zoning change that just came into effect around our evaluation date.

It usually takes some time.”

Queen’s Park residents invited to take part in discussion

Continued from page 3 Queen’s Park resident Alex Litynsky said he opposed the heritage conservation area because of concerns it would have a dramatic impact on property values and didn’t provide a comprehensive set of incentives for owners of protected properties.

“My ask to council is that you direct staff to develop a

Presented by:

set of incentives that are at least as good or better than what heritage homeowners have already received in the City of Vancouver,” he said. “For the City of New Westminster to implement a single FSR incentive, when Vancouver has this diverse, flexible set – Queen’s Park homeowners are not second-class heritage homeowners.We are not.We are

very proud of the investment we have made in our homes and we certainly deserve a set of incentives that is comparable to what the City of Vancouver heritage homeowners have received.”

According to Litynsky, Realtors are guiding buyers away from the Queen’s Park neighbourhood because they’re obligated to inform them of the restric-

tions that they will be buying into when they buy into a neighbourhood.

“Some buyers just don’t want to look at a home in Queen’s Park,” he said.

“Pricing expectations of people who do want to list are being significantly lowered by agents before a listing even takes place.”

Under a work plan endorsed by city council in

October 2017, the city has been consulting with residents about three potential incentives for protected properties: increase the floor space ratio entitlement; exempt basements from FSR calculations: and exempt attics from the FSR calculations. Following Matson’s and Litynsky’s presentations, council directed staff to explore additional incen-

tives that could be considered through this process.

Queen’s Park residents are invited to attend a panel discussion about how conservation incentive programs have worked in other municipalities on Wednesday, Feb. 7 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Anvil Centre Theatre, 777 Columbia St.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Take ICBC to the junk yard and start over

OK – remember that scene in the French Connection? One of the great movie car races. Now think about ICBC and the NDP. We’re about to start that race if the NDP doesn’t wake up and smell the burning rubber right now.

The Liberals fouled up the whole ICBC situation.They kept kicking the can into the next year of their 16-year reign, assuming some ICBC magic fairy would fix things for

them. Or, more likely, how to blame the whole mess on the previous NDP government – which would be very hard to do, but not out of character in politics.

But they lost. So, now they’re trying to blame the NDP for not fixing the mess in their first six months of government. And it’s a very big mess – a $1.3 billion-inthe-red mess. No one’s buying their attempts to blame the NDP.Well, perhaps some diehard Liberal fans

are buying it – but no one else is. So, what’s the NDP to do?

Raise rates and tweak things and push the whole thing over to next year, like the Liberals did? Sorry, that’s already been tried.

That’s where our car race analogy comes in. Once the NDP starts driving with this bunch of empty tin cans tied to their bumper, they are doomed. And so are the taxpayers who pay for ICBC.

There is only one exit ramp here and the NDP needs to take it as quickly as they can.

The NDP needs to develop a plan to dissolve ICBC as soon as possible and institute a private system of vehicle insurance as many provinces in Canada have done.

Yes. It will be messy.Yes, the unions who have members working in ICBC will be displeased.Yes, it may take a couple of years to ful-

ly finish the job. And, yes, ICBC needs to be completely gone – not left as part of a subsidized portion of the new system.

For those in the NDP who see killing ICBC as giving in to the age-old argument that private enterprise can operate services more efficiently than government – just get over it.This is not that hill to die on.

This is not health care.

This is a lesson in private enterprisers who were in

government who could not manage the operation. It’s a tale of lawyers who became attached to a never-ending bucket of business. It is also recognition that cars, like phones, have now become very expensive to repair. So expensive that it’s easier to junk them than fix them.

The NDP needs to fix the mess they inherited. And there is only one way to do that, uncomfortable as it is.

And the sooner the better.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Who will win Liberal race?

The B.C. Liberal leadership race concludes this week, so let’s take one last crack at handicapping the contest.The race seems to be limping towards conclusion. It has been a quiet affair, unable to attract much media attention since the stakes aren’t as high as the last time they went through this exercise (their 2011 contest was electing a premier, not merely an Opposition leader).

Last week saw some signs of life, however. A debate hosted by Global TV (which I moderated) saw sparks fly many times and may have provided some clues about where the candidates stand versus each other.

Let’s take a look at them: DIANNE WATTS She was the target of more aggressive questions than any of her rivals, which may suggest they consider her to be in first-place on the first count (the party is using a preferential ballot, which will likely mean there will be several “counts” after the last place candidate drops after each count and their supporters’ second and third choices are distributed). Her chief strength is she is a complete outsider, which means she can’t be tagged with any of the misdeeds or controversies associated with the B.C. Liberal government. But her outsider status can also be a big negative, since party members – not the public – are the ones voting (she also did poorly in the debates).

TODD STONE Could be the “compro-

mise” candidate who benefits most from all those second-choice ballots.

His relative youth compared to the others assists his argument that the party must “renew” itself and become younger, but he’s also associated with the previous government’s problems (hello ICBC), and that may hurt him.

MIKE DE JONG The former finance minister has gobs of experience and performed well in that portfolio. But when it comes to political baggage, de Jong has a multi-piece Samsonite set: ICBC, B.C. Hydro, money-laundering in casinos … it’s a long list.

ANDREW WILKINSON Another former cabinet minister who scores highest on the cerebral meter.

But he may have overdone his attacks on his rivals in that last debate, and that may cost him some secondand third-choice support.

MICHAEL LEE The dark horse. A newcomer, he has clean hands from the party’s time in government and he’s signed up the most members, but are they confined to a relatively few ridings which may make it hard to win enough “points” around the province to emerge victorious?

Still, if he can remain on the ballot for a while he’s one to keep an eye on.

First female Kiwanis prez

The New Westminster Kiwanis club made history during Women’s History Month in October by swearing in its first-ever female president: local teacher and future city councillor Lorrie Williams. Formed in 1919, the local club hadn’t always courted female members. “Women were not even allowed in Kiwanis clubs until five or seven years ago,” said Kiwanian Dave Crombie.They were still in the minority when Williams was sworn in, with only seven female members out of 33, but Williams said the club was relatively enlightened. “I would say this group is above the norm as far as progressiveness,” she said.

Letters Play, ad are offensive Dear Editor: Your Jan. 25 article in the Entertainment section (page 26) – ‘Laugh-outloud’ farce opens at Legge Theatre – outlines a comedy in which two nuns “secretly” make wine to keep the convent open. The next page carries an ad for this play which depicts a nun kneeling at a purported alter supported by wine barrels. A sacramental chalice lays on its side on the floor, next to the nun. The sacramental wine contained in the chalice is, of course, spilled.

This depiction of the chalice and spilled wine – as well as the altar supported by wine barrels is highly inappropriate and greatly offensive. It may not have been created with express malice, however, this in no way excuses the disgusting cartoon that derides not only the consecration of the sacramental wine, but the entire Holy Communion. This is 2018, and supposedly a time in which people’s various rights and beliefs – including religions – are respected. Clearly, there is no respect present in this highly offensive ad, and I ask that it be removed.

B. Kendall, New Westminster

Living in a fool’s paradise Dear Editor: Regrettably, our new NDP government has decided to build Site C, in spite of the reasons not to, both scientific and otherwise. In my opinion, it has shown a lack of vision for now and the future. My first concern about Premier John Horgan’s flip-flopping on the issue was that the LNG industry, if approved, needed a lot of cheap energy. Guess what? Our premier is now on his way to Asia, promoting LNG, which he was

so critical of during the election campaign.

The rationale for completing Site C uses the Liberal party and money already spent as a scapegoat, at the expense of economics, the environment, and by trampling on the rights of the First Nations people and others.

It’s not that we do not have alternatives. We have examples of another way. Germany, for example, already draws 30 per cent of its power from renewable, sustainable resources in solar, wind and geothermal and, in the process, has created 400,000 new jobs. In concern for Mother Earth, Henry Thoreau said, over 150 years ago that concern and attention to the natural environment confronted the root of all political evil.

I had hoped that more enlightened people understood that you cannot negotiate with Mother Nature. To do so is to live in a fool’s paradise.

William Zander, New Westminster

Who’ll win Liberal race?

Continued from page 8 provocative policy ideas (such as legalizing all drugs) but he’s expected to be the first candidate to drop off the ballot. But he came across as the friendliest (and funniest) candidate at the last debate.

Party members begin voting Thursday and we should know the winner on Saturday. I won’t predict a winner, but I will predict this: I don’t see Premier John Horgan losing much sleep over any of the outcomes.

practice to do so – he quickly got hooked. After taking drama courses in high school, he went on to do his diploma in musical theatre at Capilano University and then on to Douglas College.

Whether musical theatre will end up being his career, he isn’t yet sure. He points out that, realistically, there’s not much money to be made in the musical theatre scene in Vancouver and that nearly all performers end up doing something else for a living as well.

“Do I want to do this for as long as I can? Absolutely,” he says.

And it’s so far, so good, for the emerging stage star, who already has some pretty impressive credits on his resumé: Robert Martin in Theatre Under the Stars’ Drowsy Chaperone and Enjolras in Arts Club Theatre’s Les Misérables, to name two.

That first Arts Club appearance was, he says, both a triumph and a major learning experience.

“When I got the call for Les Miz, to be Enjolras … as soon as the call ended, I just shouted out loud,” he says with a laugh. “I was so proud of myself.”

Playing the role taught him a lot about himself as a performer, Barkley says, not the least of which was that he’s capable of singing higher than he expected.While he previously considered himself a baritone, he says, he’s since been cast for roles that have tapped into his tenor side.

And he’s quick to say that performing with Arts Club also taught him how much more he wanted to strive for as a performer.

be better,” he says.

He’s looking forward to returning to the Arts Club stage this coming summer as Sky in Mamma Mia, saying he’s ready to show just how much improvement he’s been capable of.

Identity: Work by Manuel Axel Strain is on display in Mutations, opening Feb. 7 at the Gallery at Queen’s Park. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

First Nations identity explored in new exhibition An art exhibition exploring the ways colonization has influenced First Nations identity is opening soon at the Gallery at Queen’s Park.

Manuel Axel Strain’s Mutations runs at the Arts Council of New Westminster’s gallery from Feb. 7 to 25. An opening reception is set for Wednesday, Feb. 7 from 6 to 8 p.m., and an artist talk is on Sunday, Feb. 18 at 3 p.m.

Strain is an interdisciplinary artist of Coast Salish, Secwepemc and Okanagan descent, who was raised in Maple Ridge with little knowledge of what it meant to be of First Nations descent.

“This upbringing led Strain to examine the construction of First Nations identities – in particular the internal conflicts that arise from imposed identity constructs,” a press release says.

! Grow your Website Visitors ! Increase your Search Rankings ! Enhance your Website Appearance ! Create a Social Buzz in Your Community

“His practice confronts the legacies of colonization that have been left upon the identities of the First Nations people of Canada.”

Strain uses painting, drawing, sculpture, photography and video installation to explore post-colonial notions of hybridity, assimilation, cultural appropriation, self-determination and resistance.

“His purpose is to redefine his indigeneity and break the cycle of inaccurate generalizations. His goal is to move beyond the binary opposition of the colonizer and the colonized to establish new ontologies for the First Nations identity,” the release says.

The Gallery at Queen’s Park is open Wednesdays from 1 to 8 p.m., and Thursdays through Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. See www. artscouncilnewwest.org.

Little things a big factor in Hyacks’ playoff hopes

NewWest aims to make next week’s league playoffs a springboard for serious Lower Mainland charge

By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

It’s the clichéd calm before the storm, or where rubber meets the road.

And while the New Westminster senior boys basketball team is putting in a lot of practice hours this week in preparation for next week’s playoffs, it’s hard to forgo the anxiety and seriousness that awaits.

For the Hyacks, a lot of good has unfolded over the past few months, and signs that they belong in the mix with a shot at a possible B.C. 4-A basketball championship tourney trip.

Close but no cigar just won’t cut it this year.

“It’s a different environment going from here now,” remarked New West head coach Arno Richter. “My seniors, who were in a decent run last year, know how much fun it is, The plays how exciting it without the is to win (playoff) games. I can ball (are) see it in them, where we need they want to go to improve. as far as we did last year and they want to get as close as possible where the outcome of the game decides if we get to the provincial championships or not.”

After a solid 6-2 record in BurnabyNew West league play, where they peeled off comfortable wins for the most part but came up a little short against both Burnaby South and Byrne Creek, the gap has closed.

Richter has had to weather the past five weeks without a healthy Ramadan Ali, the Grade 12 point guard who has been a sparkplug for the attack much of the season.

Due to an ankle injury, Ali has been used sparingly, but characteristically pushed to get in the tougher games despite not being 100 per cent, Richter noted.

“He’s the same old player but (played) with a tender ankle (last week against Byrne Creek). He doesn’t quite move with the same explosiveness as he normally does, I notice it for sure. But he has a super-high compete level so he makes up for it in other ways,” said Richter.

It makes this week essential, where a heavy game schedule gives way to practice, with league playoffs starting Monday, when New West, as No. 3, plays a yet-to-be determined No. 6, 4:30 p.m.The site had not been determined by Record deadline.

Richter said the past week’s results, which saw New West go 1-2 at the Victoria Police tournament, wasn’t the success he had hoped. Although they launched it with a 6152 win over host St. Michael’s, the squad didn’t have the same energy level. It also showed in the other two games – losses to Shawnigan Lake and a Manitoba team.

It was followed by last Wednesday’s loss to Byrne Creek, a 79-62 decision that offered as much constructive evidence on how close the Hyacks are to a possible breakthrough, as another tough loss against a league rival.

“We had a really nice second quarter and brought it to a two-point game late in the quarter. I think it was 40-34 at the half and I was really happy,” said the New West

coach. “(Byrne Creek is) obviously a really nice team.Their guard, Martin Djunga, he is a wonderful player. His ability to get in the lane and attack the paint, and he has a terrific jump stop finish. He gave us fits.”

In the end, Byrne, which ended up clinching top spot with a victory over Burnaby South on Monday, had enough to stave off a late New West rally.

“We hung around for long enough before they drew away from us. It was a good game for us and another measuring stick. Eventually, we have to win those, though.”

On Monday, they wrapped up the regular season with a 70-52 decision over Burnaby Mountain – a win without Ali and where

the Hyacks utilized their bench to full effect.

A week earlier, they topped Burnaby Central 101-44.

It’s in closing that gap with the Byrne Creeks and Burnaby Souths that is the next challenge, as well as clinching a spot at the Lower Mainlands in a few weeks. Should they earn one of the league’s passes to the regional tourney, things ramp up quickly for the 16-8 Hyacks.They will get but a few chances for one of three berths to the B.C.s.

It puts the focus purely on bridging more gaps, with each step incrementally smaller but more precise in its importance. Richter says the team has taken the task to heart.

“It’s the little things for us.The plays

without the ball (are) where we need to improve.This week is about closeouts, rebounding; it’s about free-throw shooting – it’s all those things that are difference makers in a game when it comes down to it,” he said. “More often than not the teams that beat us don’t have more talent, but they do the little things better than we do.”

One of the leaders this year has taken it that extra step and set an example, Richter added, that others are following. Six-foottwo forward Luka Cuk has made an impression on his coach in the way he’s working on his game and applying the lessons at practice when the game’s on the line.

Final touches before playoffs for sr. girls

By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Fine-tuning and a final roll down memory lane.

The New Westminster Hyacks senior girls head into the Burnaby-New West league playoffs next week as the favourites.

But that and a five-spot barely buys a latte these days.

Hyacks head coach Doug Woodward is pleased with his team’s progress over the past few months, but admits the number of elite tests down the

stretch makes it tricky when looking towards the Lower Mainland tournament.

“We feel pretty comfortable,” said Woodward, after the squad wrapped up league play with a 75-33 win over Burnaby Mountain. “We know we can compete with the Argyles, the Carson Grahams, but we’ve got to do it again (to get to the B.C.s).”

New West sailed through the Collingwood tournament last week by an average 39-point margin. Grade 12 guard Sarah Forgie was named the tourney

MVP, while forward Devin Strome was selected to the first all-star team.

Last week,Woodward was surprised when members of his first NWSS team, from 1981, turned up to cheer the Hyacks on and say goodbye to the longtime coach. He had announced at the start of the season that this would be his final year.

His focus now is ensuring the squad, with a 23-1 record, is ready for the big hurdles ahead.

The Lower Mainlands, which start Feb. 10, present a fierce

competition for just three berths to the provincials. A fourth team will have a wild card shot at the last spot to the B.C.s.

“I think we’re pretty good because we are always consistent, no matter who we’re playing,” said Woodward. “Key is, are we going to peak at the right time?”

For New West, the league semifinal is the next test on Tuesday (4:30 p.m.), with a win putting them in the final for Thursday (Feb. 7 at 6:30 p.m.).

That would mark Woodward’s last game at the NWSS gym.

Royals’ Beauchamp draws honour

In a battle for second place, the Douglas College Royals women’s basketball team leaned a lot on star forward Rachel Beauchamp.

The fourth-year player helped the Royals earn a split with Vancouver Island, winning

Friday 57-50, before falling Saturday 66-65.

In both games, Beauchamp tallied a double-double, including Saturday’s 21 points and 10 boards. For her effort she earned the PacWest women’s basketball’s Player of the Week award.

Continued from page 23 “(Cuk’s) willingness to make plays without the ball has in some cases changed the game for us,” said Richter. “It wasn’t a one-off.

The game against Burnaby North (a 70-61 win) is the perfect example where we had a really, really poor first half; they were up comfortably and then (Cuk) began to make defensive plays that turned the game for us.

“He’s had the commitment to make the play without the ball, whether that’s defensively, whether it’s rebounding. He just does it all.”

A number of other players have made major contributions of late, including shooting guard Klyde Macahilo and Grade 11 guard Simon Cruz.Yet getting over the next hurdle requires their biggest team effort ever, if they are to play at the Langley Events Centre come March.

“We need our starters to be great, we need guys come off the bench and impact the game, you need it all. I was saying last week

that for us to beat a Byrne Creek or (Burnaby) South we need a perfect game.

There’s no facet of the game that can let us down,” said Richter.

LESLIE, Jim (James) Robert 1920 - 2018

Jim Leslie passed away peacefully in his sleep with loved ones by his side on January 16, 2018. Jim was born to a homesteading family in Onaway, Alberta; the Depression displaced them to Chilliwack, BC. By the age of 14, Jim left school to take over the farm and soon after joined the RCAF during WWII. After nearly a decade of service, Jim left the air force and started a contracting business with Del Hartley. At an RCAF dance James met the love of his life, Helen (nee Turner), whom he married in 1947. Helen and Jim are survived by their three sons who they raised in their New Westminster home: Alan (Judy), Daniel (Sue) and Neil (Jan).

Their home was always welcoming for family members and a haven for their adopted cats. Jim and Helen were well known at William’s Landing on Pitt Lake. After retirement, Jim spent the majority of his time creating projects in his basement turned metal shop. He delighted in engaging youth and visited high school classrooms to tell war stories well into his 90s. Jim is predeceased by his wife, Helen, and grandson Thomas. Jim is survived by grandchildren: Alison (Carson), Kimberly (Simon), Holly (Travis), Michael, David, Karen (Paul), Megan (Scott), Daniel (Heather), Matthew, Michael (Elli), and Cameron (Nicole) and great-grandchildren: Bentley, Hudson, Helen, Malcolm, Saphira, Freija and Calvin.

Harold Allan Taylor, 83, passed away peacefully at 8:45 p.m. on January 17, 2018 in New Westminster BC, surrounded by his family. Harold was born in Portage La Prairie, MB on September 19, 1934. He moved to Burnaby, BC over 52 years ago with his wife Katie Taylor and their children. He worked for the Telus Phone company for 40 years and prior to that for Manitoba Tel. He was a huge Detroit Red Wings hockey fan and a great player himself. He even played junior hockey for the Portage La Prairie Terriers before starting his family. Harold was known as a gentle man with a quiet and thoughtful disposition. He was slow to anger and never passed judgement. On any given Saturday you would find him in a quiet corner watching his grandchildren play hockey or skate.

He is survived by his wife of 60 years Katie, his older brother Keith, sister-in-law Mary, his three children Cindy, Robert (Debra), and Shelly (Peter), 6 grandchildren Jesse (Samantha), Sarah (Carson), Nathan, Naia, Cole, and Mackenzie, and his great-grandson Michael.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
