Extend advance voting: residents Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A Queen’s Park couple is dismayed they won’t be able to vote in the 2018 civic election. Keith Gagne and Diana Carr will be away on vacation for much of October – meaning they won’t be able to vote in the Oct. 20 local election or in the three advance voting days on Oct. 10, 13 and 17. “Based on a phone call and visit to the election clerk at city hall, we have been informed that there is no way for us to vote, as the advance polls start on Oct. 10,” Gagne said in an email to the Record. “Oct. 10 is just 10 days ahead of the polls and does not even accommodate someone who is taking a two-week vacation.” Gagne said he was out of town during a federal election, and even though the ballots hadn’t yet been printed, he was able to write in the name of a candidate on a ballot provided by Elections Canada. If the Local Government Act is the problem in allowing write-in ballots in civic elections, Gagne said the city should lobby the Ministry of Municipal Affairs to make changes. “Accommodate the citizenry. Engage the people. Make it easy so we can try and get the per cent of people up,” he said. “Don’t put roadblocks in people’s way.” Gagne, who has lived in New West since 1988, said this will be the first time he hasn’t voted in a federal, provincial or municipal election since he was 19 years

old. He believes municipal government is critically important as it affects people’s day-to-day lives. “If you take a simple twoweek vacation, you are disenfranchised,” he said of the time between advance polls and election day. Carr said he will be checking election results online or on the radio while on vacation – and hopes none of the candidates lose by two votes, as those could represent potential votes from him and his wife. The Record was unable to reach the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, which oversees the Local Government Act, or the city’s chief election officer by deadline. “The city has no flexibility to change the dates, advance the dates or change details of the election process at this late stage, this is governed by the Local Government Act.The city has provided residents statutory notice of the advance poll dates, locking them in stone. At this time the city is not able to offer mail ballots to out-of-town residents because the city’s bylaws do not permit it.While some larger municipalities do offer advance voting starting Oct. 6, most (like New Westminster) are beginning advance voting on Oct. 10, a legally required date articulated in provincial legislation,” chief election officer Jacque Killawee wrote in an email to the couple. “I understand your frustration at being unable to vote but the city is unable to make any changes to accommodate electors who may be on vacation during the election.”

A 27-year-old New Westminster man is facing a number of charges after an attack on three pedestrians on the Queensborough Bridge.The incident happened at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday. Police say a man wielding a hammer attacked a 75-year-old pedestrian who was walking on the sidewalk on the Queensborough Bridge.Two passersby tried to intervene, but the suspect turned his hammer on them, said police. New Westminster Police were called to the scene and instructed the suspect to drop the weapon. He refused, and officers used a less-lethal weapon called an Arwen, a “distance weapon where a hard plastic round is projected from it,” according to Sgt. Jeff Scott. “The suspect continued to attack the victim, so another less lethal option (Taser) was deployed,” said police. Lieto Nasitwitwi has been charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and assault. He remains in custody at this time, according to police.

Dog gets sick from cannabis-laced poop Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A Quayside resident is warning dog owners to be careful after her dog consumed cannabis-laced poop at Westminster Pier Park. Deborah Henry was walking her dog Tobi along the upper gravel path near the fence on the morning of Sept. 19 when she let him off leash when no one was around so he could play ‘wolf in the wild’. “I could hear him rummaging around snorting in the bushes, and went to chase him out when it got quiet,” she said. “He emerged from the bushes looking pleased, guilty and licking his chops.” Later that afternoon, the 20-pound pooch snoozed on his bed and showed little interest when Henry asked if he wanted to go for a walk. “I got concerned when he didn’t come pestering me before dinner, so went to check on him. The poor dog was lying beside a pile of vomited poop, appearing dull eyed yet frightened, rigid and flinching to touch,” she wrote in an email to the Record. “He could prop himself up on his forelegs, but couldn’t move past that.” While Tobi is normally the “bounciest dog you can imagine”, he was unable to move and needed to be carried. A neighbour

ALL BETTER NOW: Deborah Henry and her poop-eating dog, Tobi. drove Tobi and his owner to the vet, who confirmed the dog had consumed cannabis. “It was a pretty scary time, I must admit,” Henry told the Record. “Fortunately, it was cannabis and not something else in it.

tem. Once that started working, about three hours later, he was fine.” Tobi was eager to go out for his morning walk the next day.While he tired out quickly, he was his normal, cheerful self. “So, a word of warning to dog owners, especially of those won-

derful eccentric dogs who like to eat poop. With the recent surge in availability of cannabis edibles, enough active ingredient can end up in human excrement to make an animal extremely ill,” Henry warned. “Don’t let them off-leash in areas where you can’t see them every moment, especially areas

Make Q to Q an all-year service: petition Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A Queensborough pooch is enjoying her daily rides on the Q to Q ferry – and she’s not alone. George Holm and his dog Zoe are regulars on the ferry, taking it from Queensborough to the Quay twice a day – or more. Launched May 19, the Q to Q pilot ferry service is set to run daily until Oct. 28. “This ferry means a lot to us,” Holm said. “This ferry means freedom. Absolute freedom.” A petition being circulated in the community will ask the city to operate the Q to Q ferry yearround. City staff will update council on the Q to Q ferry service at its Oct. 1 meeting. “We need a ferry service,” Holm said. “We are isolated here in Port Royal.We only have two streets out of here.We have to go across the Queensborough Bridge to get to the other side.There is often traffic delays or problems on both sides.” Holm said the ferry has allowed Queensborough residents to access services at River Market and other parts of New Westminster. He knows residents who take the ferry to get to school, go to doctor’s appointments and movies and shop or dine out at businesses on the mainland.

“People go over in the evenings for dinner, which they didn’t do before.There is definitely a boost to business over there. I have seen restaurants over there now that I have never known were there and I have lived here for seven-and-ahalf years,” Holm said. “I have had the most wonderful experiences going over.” Each morning, Holm and Zoe ride the ferry from Queensborough to the Quay and back home again, taking in all the action on the river along the way. “Zoe loves the boat ride,” Holm said. “On Saturday and Sunday they start at 9 o’clock not 7 o’clock. On those days she automatically turns to go down to-

ward the dock when we pass by. This is the thing – to go with her – she greets everybody on the boat, sticks her head in the cabin and says hi to everybody, gets her scratches on the nose.” In the afternoon, the duo take the ferry to the Quay, where they disembark and walk along the esplanade, stop for an ice cream or treat, and sit in a deck chair or a lounge the boardwalk and soak up the riverfront ambiance. Holm sometimes makes a third trip on the ferry, without Zoe, if he needs to pick up groceries or go out for dinner. As a senior who doesn’t want to battle traffic on the road and search and pay for parking in

downtown New Westminster, Holm said the ferry has contributed greatly to his quality of life. “It has changed it completely,” he said. “It is wonderful.” Holm said the ferry service is a hot topic of conversation in Queensborough. “You get down there on weekends and so on and they are sailing with full loads,” he said. “They can only take 12 passengers at a time. I’ve stood on the dock and watched it leave when I was number 13 or 14. For me, that’s fine, I know that in 15 minutes it comes back again.” Lisa LeBlanc, the city’s transportation manager, said response to the service has been great, but the city will continue tracking the numbers until the end of the pilot. “What we did differently this year than the demonstration last year is we have run a seven-daya-week service because we wanted to see what the numbers would look like on the weekdays as well as the weekend.We are seeing consistent numbers during the week, during the commute periods but also midday, which is interesting,” she said. “People are using it.They are not enormous numbers but we are not an enormous community. What we are seeing is steady numbers in the hundreds of trips per day. It’s very cool. It’s definitely serving a need.”

where homeless humans may seek overnight shelter. Another reason why we as a community need to help our homeless find shelter and counselling.” Henry has owned Tobi for just over two years, after adopting the terrier-shih tzu cross through a dog rescue society. “He will eat what he wants, but I never expected that,” she said. “He is unfortunately a poop eater – usually dog poop if someone hasn’t picked it up and it’s out in the open.” Henry is trying to spread the word about Tobi’s ordeal so other dog owners can take steps to prevent similar incidents if they’re letting their dogs off leash. Because the local senior doesn’t have a car and can’t make it to most off-leash parks in the city, she occasionally allows Tobi to walk offleash when others aren’t around. “He is certainly not going offleash up there, that’s for sure,” she said. “I am much more careful where I am letting him off. I have always been one to make sure there’s not another dog he could bother or upset around.” In 2017, the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association posted a warning stating that the effects of using medical marijuana in pets isn’t well studied but it appears dogs are more sensitive.

Costs escalate for two projects Escalating costs of two capital projects in Queensborough forced the city to amend its five-year financial plan. New Westminster has amended its 2018 to 2022 financial plan because of escalating costs related to electrical substation and animal shelter/ tow yard projects. !The 2019 and 2020 capital program has been increased by a total of $10 million to address escalating costs to build an electrical substation. !The 2019 capital program has increased by $1.7 million to address escalating costs to construction the animal shelter and tow yard. Colleen Ponzini, the city’s acting chief financial officer, said the total construction cost for the substation is budgeted at $30 million. “Included in the estimate are contingencies to deal with escalating construction costs that we have been experiencing. The latter is also the reason for the increase for the animal shelter/tow yard,” she said in an email to the Record. “The animal shelter tender has been awarded and work has started.The projects are expected to be completed by 2020.”

College moves into Anvil Centre Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Douglas College students now have access to a brand new, state-of-the-art facility, and it’s only a stone’s throw away from the college’s New Westminster campus. On Monday, Douglas College officially opened its new Anvil Centre office tower location featuring four floors, 21 classrooms, meeting space and a student lounge. “I love it. It’s beautiful. It feels really fresh.There’s an energy here. I love all the open space for students, and I’m really, really happy with how it turned out,” Douglas College president and CEO Kathy Denton told the Record. The college occupies the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth floors in the Anvil Centre tower. Right now, the plan is to have mostly commerce and business programs use the new campus, but Denton said eventually other programs will move over as well. “The Douglas College Anvil Office Tower has added a lot of student-focused study and collaboration space, which is great. I really appreciate having such accessible and modern facilities at my fingertips for the remainder of my program,”

said Jeffrey Banggayan, who is completing a bachelor of business administration. The new campus is 68,000 square feet and will accommodate more than 1,600 students.The college also expects the new campus will help alleviate some of the space constraints at its existing New Westminster campus as enrolment continues to rise. “This expansion marks an important moment in Douglas College’s histo-

ry. It means we can accommodate the high level of student interest in our programs and ensure that students receive the most inspiring and relevant education during their time at Douglas College,” Denton said. New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy congratulated Douglas College on the opening and said it will help make post-secondary education accessible for even more students in B.C.

“It’s a great day for New Westminster and a great day for Douglas College,” she said. “Added seats and learning opportunities in such a convenient, central location will draw students from throughout the province, as well as help local students keep studying and working in the community they love.” Douglas College has a 10-year lease agreement for the space, which totals $8.9 million.

Opinion OUR VIEW

More solutions needed than just capping rent hikes

The latest recommendations from British Columbia’s Rental Housing Task Force go a long way toward striking a balance between the needs of renters and the financial requirements of landlords. Under the proposed recommendations, landlords would not be able to increase rents higher than the rate of inflation. But they can still raise rents higher if they can prove more is needed to cover maintenance and other costs.This is an important consideration for land-

lords opposed to smaller rent hikes. OnWednesday, Premier John Horgan made an announcement that he was accepting and implementing the task force’s recommendations. Currently, the rent hike formula is inflation plus two per cent, a ceiling that has been in place since 2004 and has resulted in some hefty rent increases. For example, next year, renters are facing increases of up to 4.5 per cent as the allowable rate set by the Residential Tenancy Branch;

Clearly, these kind of rent controls need to be done in concert with a broader program. this year, it was a four per cent hike and, in 2017, landlords could boost rents by 3.7 per cent. Obviously, some landlords will not be happy with a reduction in potential increases and many might have to review their entire business plan. It’s true this change to

the rent-control formula would be a blow to landlords because it gives them less flexibility, and possibly less incentive, to build and maintain rental accommodation. On the other hand, renters do not have access to a money tree and, it could be argued, have even less flexibility with their fi-

nances. Rents typically make up 30 to 50 per cent or more of the average salary and average rent hikes of 4 per cent or more — without corresponding improvements or any justification — are not sustainable. Clearly, these kinds of rent controls need to be done in concert with a broader program to improve housing affordability, including support for coop housing, subsidies for seniors and others on fixed incomes, as well as more funds for the construction of non-market housing

for people with limited incomes. As well, the government should continue to look at tax incentives and other mechanisms to increase the number of rental apartment units in communities where rental stock may be under pressure to redevelop into condos. These rent hike guarantees will help with affordability, but they can’t be the only tool to ensure there is decent housing for people who have chosen to live and work in the Lower Mainland.

MY VIEW CHRIS CAMPBELL

Do those election signs even work? Monday was the first day that the elections officer said candidates in the New Westminster civic election could post promotional signs. And it only took a few hours for somebody to violate the law. When you post your signs, you must do it on private property and one candidate posted it on city land at the side of a street. I’m not going to name the candidate because, frankly, it’s not the end of the world and I’m not trying to shame anyone – especially people who are new to this whole political thing. But rules are rules and I’m hoping people smarten up and stay within those rules for the duration of the campaign. Incumbent New West city councillor Patrick Johnstone even tweeted out a handy photo showing people where they are allowed to put their election signs. You can’t put them on utility poles or transit stops or garbage cans (although I would appreciate the connection) or parking meters or in public parks. Please. Read. And. Follow.The. Rules. In the old days (for me, that’s the 1990s) it was the Wild West for election signs in many cities. I can recall some ginormous signs posted on the corners of busy intersections, making them look slightly more subtle than the advertising in Times Square. Some candidates love posting scores of gaudy signs with their names in huge letters (some egos

need soothing). I read up on the sign law on the New West city website and under 11.6.2 it says the “sign area shall not exceed 3.0 square metres.” That seems pretty big so we’ll see if anyone pushes the envelope. One question I’ve always had is if these signs actually make any difference in securing votes. Candidates seem to spend a lot of money on signs, but do they really work? No offence to candidates, but I hope they don’t because that would mean people make vital decisions based on name recognition or if they like the face that is sometimes emblazoned on an election sign. I don’t want people going into the voting booth and thinking, “oh yeah, I remember that name on the sign I see every day on my way to Starbucks” or “she looks trustworthy in her photo.” That would be really depressing. I asked Johnstone about it and he responded with this: “I have my own opinions about signs. Like tonsil removal: No one likes it, it is a big hassle, apparently you have to do it, no one is really clear if it serves a purpose.” Oh, and one final note. According to the law, signs must be removed within 14 days of the election. Please feel free to ignore that rule and take the signs down (much, much) earlier. How does Oct. 21 sound?

Union demands admin cuts New Westminster Teachers Union president Tom Westwater was calling for a $20,000 pay cut for senior school district administrators in February.Westwater was emboldened by then-Finance Minister Glen Clark telling a meeting of labour representatives there were more people making over $79,000 a year at the Vancouver school district than there were in the entire provincial government. Westwater said he’d been saying the same about New West’s senior administrators for years. “I believe that they should get the same rates as classroom teachers,” he said. “The administrators should have $20,000 taken off their salaries.”

More enforcement needed on 20th Street Editor: Re: When drivers ‘hog the box’, Record Opinion, Sept. 13. Enjoyed your article. I’ve lived on 20th Street for 15 years and have seen lots of traffic. New West city and police can’t be bothered to enforce the “no truck route” because Victoria gets the revenue from tickets (20th is considered to be a highway). Imagine how much quicker traffic would flow. Also, when transit opened the new “bus barn” in east Richmond beside the casino, it added 40-plus buses up and down 20th Street (buses are empty) going to and from their routes twice daily. I have contacted TransLink, but they are uncaring. Imagine again how quickly the car traffic would flow. And, of course, the poor design - seems to be the B.C. way. Geoff Porteous, New Westminster

‘Line butters’ on 20th Street are frustrating to our neighbourhood Editor: Re: When drivers ‘hog the box’, Record Opinion, Sept. 13. I could not agree more that the traffic on 20th Street is a problem. Money spent to supposedly move traffic freer on the Queensborough Bridge has not done what it was supposed to do. Think about what will

happen when they start building highrises around 22nd Street station as well. This is my neighbourhood. I have been blocked from turning into just about every road to reach my house. I use a right on 7th Avenue occasionally to try to get over the bridge but only at non-peak times. The frustration of the line butters and people blocking that road is terrible. I now drive all the way down Southridge Drive and turn left at Marine Way and use that to go over the Queensborough. I arrive at my destination relaxed and in a much better frame of mind. There needs to be dividers put up on 20th and better signage for lanes. Might solve some of the problems. Janet Reid, New Westminster

Objecting to tattoos isn’t ‘hate speech’ Editor: Re: Don’t judge moms for their tattoos, Mommy’s Grounded, Sept. 13. I was struck to read in Bianca Bujan’s Mommy’s Grounded column that a social networking page disparaging tattoo-wearers was removed as “hate speech.” While I have no objections whatsoever to people getting tattoos if they want, I am amazed at the double-standard in our society under which objecting to tattoos is branded “hate speech” while the denouncing of nudity - the natural state for our species - as perverted exhibitionism doesn’t just find expression on web postings, but is endorsed by the laws of the land.

City Next phase of RCH will not be built as a P3, says minister Maria Rantanen editorial@newwestrecord.ca

The second phase of the Royal Columbian Hospital rebuild will be a design-built project rather than a publicprivate partnership as previously planned. A new acute care tower and a larger emergency department are part of the second phase – currently, the first part of the new hospital is under construction behind the current hospital, and it will include a 36,000-square-metre Mental Health and Substance Use Wellness Centre which will replace the 30-bed Sherbrooke Centre, expected to open in 2020. The decision to proceed as a design-build model for this phase was made after a review by Fraser Health executive and was subsequently approved by the provincial Treasury Board. They determined Fraser Health had an experienced and knowledgeable project team that, along with qualified external advisers, would be able to ensure a successful project under the designbuild model.

Big changes: Royal Columbian Hospital’s second phase of construction will include a larger ER department. PHOTO RECORD FILES

“We felt given the quality of the team here at Royal Columbian, especially how people work together and how they know the building, the existing building, which continue to have to be maintained like the new ones this made sense to them, it made sense to Fraser Health and it made sense to patients, it made sense for the whole healthcare team and so that’s why we decided to go this route at Royal Columbian Hospital,” Adrian Dix, minister of health, told the Record. The second phase, which

will be operated by Fraser Health, will include 229 new beds in the ER and the acute care tower, MRIs, a neonatal intensive care unit and a helipad. When complete, the new Mental Health and Substance Use Wellness Centre will include Fraser Health’s first dedicated older-adult psychiatric unit for seniors, with 20 beds, a 10-bed psychiatric high-acuity unit, 45 beds for acute mentalhealth inpatient care, clinical teaching space, more outpatient clinics and a 450-stall parkade.

Dear Constituents, As we begin another busy legislative session I wanted to take this opportunity to update Richmond-Queensborough residents on the many issues to be discussed in Victoria this fall. With many analysts predicting an economic slowdown, there is growing concern about how the government is managing our economy. Already the NDP has announced they will increase or introduce 18 separate taxes, including the speculation tax. The NDP spec tax is framed as addressing affordability, but it’s just generating revenue at the expense of homeowners. Despite initial comments that the tax would not affect British Columbians, we now know that two-thirds of those paying the tax live in B.C. One of the other main issues we will question the NDP on this fall is the Union Benefit Agreements, which will restrict contracts to unionized companies and force workers to join only the unions that have donated to the NDP. This excludes 85% of construction & trades workers and severely infringes on their freedom to work. These agreements are a blatant payback to the NDP’s union buddies who have bankrolled the NDP with millions of dollars for years. On Oct. 17, cannabis is legalized with the age of consumption set at 19. Retail sales will occur through public and private stores, however retail licenses won’t be approved without the support of local governments. Rest assured the opposition will keep a close eye on the implementation of this file, as we want to make sure community values, health, and safety remain our guiding principles. Recently on Global News, I highlighted residents’ frustration with the inaction surrounding the Massey Tunnel replacement. With piles of sand spanning over 6 kilometers beside Highway 99, I decided to play golf on the NDP sand-trap for Global News cameras. The sand was moved in initial steps to replace the Massey Tunnel with a 10-lane bridge. The bridge project has been cancelled by the NDP government. Transportation Minister Claire Trevena is still reviewing a $350,000 consultant’s report on moving forward. The unnecessary report comes after 5 years and 14,000 pages of consultation already done by the former BC Liberal government. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting many of you at community events this fall. Yours in service,

Jas Johal, MLA Richmond-Queensborough Opposition Critic for Jobs, Trades, and Technology

Queensborough’s shoreline gets a cleanup About 25 volunteers turn out to help clear garbage and invasive plants during annual event Maria Rantanen

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

The front bumper of a car, a plastic chair, large chunks of Styrofoam, a bicycle wheel, a car tire, cigarette butts, a Tim Hortons plastic cup, roofing tiles and a water-logged double-sized mattress – these were just some of the items found at Thompsons Landing Park in Queensborough on Saturday morning by a group of about 25 volunteers. Connie Reichelsdorfer, the executive director of Zero Waste Canada and a Burnaby resident, pointed out the small bits of plastic from cigarette packag-

Trash is so easy; it’s so easy to put it in the garbage ing and candy wrappers that were littering the ground under the overpass and by the shoreline. Birds will eat the plastic and it’ll get lodged in their stomachs because they it be digested, she said. “If they have too much plastic (in their stomach), they will die,” she added. They can also choke on it or get caught up in string.The eco-system will get “out of whack,” she added, if too many animals die both in the oceans and on land. Her message to humans: “We’re all in this together; we’re all in the same environment.” Zero Waste Canada en-

courages people, through participating in events and through education, to not only recycle but to actually reduce consumption. A shoreline cleanup around Burnaby Lake was also conducted on Saturday by volunteers. Martin Lowe and his nine-year-old son Max dragged the water-logged mattress to the pile of refuse that was growing on the sidewalk under the highway overpass.The father-son pair had found remnants of a camp with empty food containers, clothing and a blanket. “It’s kind of sad people are living by the water,” Lowe said. “It makes you realize that people are roughing it.” The Lowe family came to help out at the Queensborough Shoreline Cleanup, organized by the Queensborough Special Programs Committee. With plastic buckets and long-handled garbage pickers, the volunteers picked up small non-organic items that pose a risk to wildlife. This is the eighth year the shoreline cleanup was organized in Queensborough, and while the numbers were much smaller than a record of 118 a few years ago, the volunteers found plenty of garbage along the shoreline and under the overpass. Several volunteers were also pulling invasive plants like blackberries and English ivy that were choking out native plants. Allowing the native plants to grow deep roots stabilizes the riverbank, explained

Lisa Egan, who is a member of the Queensborough Special Programs Committee and one of the organizers, found large chunks of Styrofoam that she thought were coming off boats that ply the waters along the New Westminster neighbourhood.The Styrofoam chunks were small round pieces pressed together, but they can crumble and head out into the ocean as the tides go in and out, she pointed out. “This stuff should be illegal,” she said, showing three large chunks she collected. This year, in an effort to keep the event zero waste, volunteers were asked to bring their own mugs, and

Miriam Castro came from Langley with her husband to help in the cleanup. She has been in cleanups around the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island. “Everywhere you go you see so much trash – it’s nice to be part of that not just in our community, in Langley, but we try to go to other communities and take part in all the cities in B.C.,” she said.

Community Piva offers Thanksgiving meal for people in need Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Pasta and pizza will be on the menu when Piva Modern Italian restaurant serves up a feast to those in need on Thanksgiving. The local restaurant, located in Anvil Centre, is closing its doors on the afternoon of Sunday, Oct. 7 so it can serve a Thanksgiving lunch to homeless folks. “Piva is going to be shutting down in the afternoon to serve people through the Lookout society,” said Kerilee Raven, Piva’s marketing coordinator. “We want to make sure we are giving back to New West. New West has been so supportive of us.Thanksgiving is a time of sharing and family, so we just wanted to make sure that everyone had a nice warm meal and were around people who cared about them.” Raven said Piva is partnering with Lookout because it’s a fan of the society’s work.

“We are going to be doing pasta and pizza and salad,” Raven said. “We have asked Lookout society to send as many people as possible.” Lookout is a non-profit charitable organization that offers a range of services and housing to adult men and women who are destitute and require assistance. In addition to a number of

programs in New West, it operates in Vancouver, Surrey, the North Shore, Burnaby, Langley, Abbotsford, Mission and Maple Ridge. Piva Modern Italian Restaurant opened in Anvil Centre in December 2017. “It’s the first time we have been able to shut down the restaurant to serve, but we have had quite a few charitable initiatives,” Raven said.

“We have done cocktails where the proceeds have been donated to a couple of charities in the past.” Jennifer Goyette, coordinator at Lookout’s Russell Housing Centre in New Westminster, said the society is extremely grateful that Piva has chosen to welcome Lookout guests. “Lookout is very excited to have the opportunity to partner with Piva.Without their support, it is unlikely that Lookout guests could afford to eat dinner and feel welcome in a nice restaurant,” said Goyette, who is working with Piva to organize the dinner on behalf of Lookout. “Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for family and abundance of food. This simply does not exist for many of the folk we serve; families are often estranged, and healthy food is just too expensive.We expect over 100 Lookout guests will attend the Piva dinner.This will likely be one of the best meals they have had for a while!”

Exploring the art of stories Seth Macbeth is interested in how creativity speaks a language all its own. Her work will be on display in Page To Page – Building New Worlds, Exploring New Depths, at The Gallery at Queen’s Park from Oct. 3 to 28. In her work, Macbeth tells stories using many forms and mediums. “Our lives, our history, our worlds are made of stories,” says a press release about the show. “The intention behind her work is for the viewer to hear the story she is telling, but also begin a tale of their own, with their own experiences leading their interpretation.” Macbeth’s work is based on material from books, which she cuts by hand and weaves together into a new image. An opening reception is set for Wednesday, Oct. 3 from 6 to 8 p.m. A discussion with the artist, part of the gallery’s Inter/Action series, is set for Sunday, Oct. 14 from 3 to 4 p.m. The Gallery at Queen’s Park is in Cen-

Do you know a senior struggling to pay the rent? B.C. government has expanded eligibility requirements and increased benefits with SAFER If you’re a low-income senior, you may qualify for rental assistance programs offered by the province. As part of the British Columbia government’s 30-point housing plan, the province recently announced it was expanding the eligibility requirements and increasing the benefits under the Rental Assistance Program and Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER). Effective Sept. 1, 2018, more low-income families and seniors will be eligible for additional assistance to help with their monthly payments in the private market. The average monthly payment for SAFER recipients will increase by approximately $78, or 42 per cent, from $187 to $265. “Many seniors are struggling to pay their bills, and some are even forced to choose between paying for

medications or paying rent,” Anne Kang, parliamentary secretary for seniors, said in a press release. “These are decisions no one should have to make, and our government is working to make sure life is affordable for seniors, so they can stay in their homes and communities.” SAFER provides direct cash assistance to eligible residents who are aged 60 years or over, to assist them in meeting their monthly rent payment in the private market. Isobel Mackenzie, British Columbia’s seniors advocate, said seniors have been seeking SAFER increases for a long time, so these changes will be very welcomed by the 23,000 seniors in B.C. who receive the grant. “Many of the seniors we work with are having a

tough time making ends meet,” said Kara-Leigh Bloch, executive director of the New West-based Seniors Services Society. “The increase to SAFER subsidies is great news for seniors on a fixed income across

the province who have been struggling to pay their rent.” In addition to the SAFER grant, the province also announced changes to a grant program for low-income families.Through the Rental Assistance Program,

the maximum gross household income to qualify for benefits is being raised from $35,000 to $40,000 and the average monthly subsidy for recipients is increasing by approximately $67, or 17 per cent, from $405

to $472. For information about the Rental Assistance Program and SAFER, go to www. bchousing.org and search for Housing Assistance.

Celebrating Seniors

Seniors urged to make health-care wishes known Advance care planning can save stress for loved ones should a person become incapacitated British Columbia Notaries are urging seniors and baby boomers to plan ahead for potential health surprises. As National Seniors Day (Oct. 1) approaches, the B.C. Notaries Association is advising seniors and baby boomers to ensure their healthcare wishes are clearly and legally documented in case they develop an unforeseen health condition where they can’t speak or care for themselves.They note that many people wait until it’s too late – and leave their loved ones unprepared to make decisions on their behalf. Because most people over age 55 are healthy and active, the B.C. Notaries Association says this is the optimal time to capture their instructions, while they are still physically robust and legally of sound mind. “As notaries, we often see previously healthy clients, even in their 50s and

60s, who are facing a critical illness diagnosis or have recently been diagnosed with dementia who want to put plans in place for their health care and sometimes, sadly, it’s too late,” Daniel Boisvert, president of the B.C. Notaries Association, said in a press release. “Health issues can be surprising, particularly when you’ve always been active, and create a very stressful time for those diagnosed and their loved ones.We strongly recommend planning before a major illness strikes, so you have time to carefully consider your options.” According to the association, this advice applies to everyone, but it’s particularly important for the many seniors who are living alone or with a partner to whom they’re not married. A report from Statistics Canada’s 2016 survey showed that 33 per cent of women and 17 per cent of men over

age 65 live alone, while seven per cent of couples live with their partner outside of traditional marriage – a 56 per cent increase since 2011. “Seniors who are living common law, and particularly in new relationships, may have legal ties to previous partners and, of course, to their own children,” said a B.C. Notaries press release. “Regardless of how complex or simple these relationships might be, identifying a decision-maker without clear direction can create confusion, hurt feelings and inconsistency with an individual’s actual wishes for healthcare measures, financial decisions, and distribution of property. Legal fees can also escalate.” According to the association, similar issues exist for people living alone because a spouse would typically make such decisions on their behalf.When these wishes are not clear, the

court can step in and appoint a decision-maker, who is unlikely to be aware of the individual’s own intentions. “People put off advance care planning, and the result can be stressful and sad. It can even result in futile or delayed health-care measures for the patient and unnecessary trauma for families and friends who are faced with decisions they’re not equipped to make,” said Tarja McLean, a Kelowna notary. “It is important to create a plan before it is needed, before dementia or other diseases become advanced.” The B.C. Notaries Association states that advancecare planning documents ensure your decisions are followed, even during dementia or a critical illness. Depending on your unique needs and situation, you might require a representation agreement, an advance care directive, and/or a power of attorney.

Plan ahead: Drawing up advance care plans can save stress for seniors and loved ones. PHOTO THINKSTOCK

“Having an advance care plan in place provides peace of mind for clients and their families and loved ones, particularly if they are single, separated or living with a common-law partner,” said Kristy Martin, a Langford notary. “It’s easier to create a plan than most people think, and most clients find the process a big stress relief.”

The B.C. Notaries Association represents more than 380 notary professionals, who deal with a wide range of non-contentious legal matters, including residential and commercial real estate transfers, mortgage refinancing, wills and advance healthcare planning, powers of attorney, and other important documents.

A new video campaign has been released by WorkSafeBC on commercial kitchen safety. More than 60 per cent of injury claims in the foodservice industry involve kitchen workers, who routinely work with tools and equipment that, used improperly, can cause serious injury. In the B.C. restaurant industry alone, there were 269 serious injuries in restaurants in 2017 and 47 per cent of those happened to kitchen workers. Around 97,000 people in B.C. work in kitchens, as chefs, cooks, food-counter attendants and helpers.They can be found in workplaces spanning many industries — from restaurants and pubs to institutional kitchens, from remote work camps to mobile catering.

Can you help drive New West cancer patients? tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Volunteers are needed in New West to help drive patients to cancer treatments. In the past year,Volunteer Cancer Drivers have provided 429 rides for New West patients who are travelling to and home from cancer clinics in Surrey and Abbotsford. “We have a number of dedicated drivers – both women and men, but more are needed in the Royal City,” said George Garrett, the group’s spokesperson. The service means the world to cancer patients who need to get treatment in Surrey and Abbotsford. While New Westminster is served by a program offered by the Freemasons, it doesn’t cross the river – so the Volunteer Cancer Drivers’ volunteers take patients from New Westminster (and a few from Burnaby) to

Arts & Entertainment New West actors star in Stage 43’s M*A*S*H Hungary Three New Westminster residents are in the spotlight for Stage 43 Theatrical Society’s first production of the season. Stage 43 is kicking off an “As Seen on Screen” season with Tim Kelly’s M*A*S*H, onstage Oct. 11 to 20 at Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam. The cast includes New Westminster actors John Cousins as Capt. Benjamin Franklin Pierce (Hawkeye), Chris Gursche as Capt. Frank Burns and Bob Le Pine as Gen. Hamilton Hartington Hammond. The play is based on Richard Hooker’s book MASH:A Novel About Three Army Doctors, following his own experiences as a doctor in a MASH unit in Korea. It’s since become best known for the TV version (starring a cast of such luminaries as Alan Alda, Loretta Swit and Jamie Farr) that follows the antics of talented surgeons who use mischief and insubordination to deal with the pressure of finding themselves in the middle of the Korean War.

The idea of staging the play came from Stage 43 vice-president Michelle Berg, who took it to an executive meeting last summer.The play – which features an ensemble of 30 characters (requiring at least 15 actors, even with doubling roles) – is a stretch for Stage 43, which typically picks plays with no more than 10 actors. “We bravely took on the challenge, knowing that the title alone would draw both talent and audiences,” said a press release from the theatre company. Director Dale Kelly stepped up to lead the production, which has been in rehearsals through the summer. “The rehearsal room has not only been filled to the brim with cast and crew (and chairs standing in for army cots), it has also been full of laughter and passion for project,” the release said. Stage 43 is also continuing with its “not-for-profits helping not-for-profits” campaign by using this production to help raise awareness and money for Honour

Why vertical blinds?

They do have a great ability to control how the light may enter a room by tilting the veins. Verticals can suit patio doors as they stack to the side so doorway access is unobstructed.

DERRICK THORNHILL

Derrick Thornhill and Park Georgia Realty are thrilled to announce the opening of their new office at 718 Second Street in the heart of Glenbrooke North. Steps away from the hustle and bustle of Uptown Derrick welcomes you to visit him at his newly opened ‘boutique style’ real estate office. Benefit from some sound advice in a comfortable and familiar space. Those who grew up in Glenbrooke North or went to Herbert Spencer as a child will be familiar with the former D.C. Wong’s corner store.“This office has a great feel with lots of windows and a real back yard for relaxing with clients”, says Derrick. Derrick and his staff, Renee and Dawn say they don’t miss the diesel buses on Sixth Street one bit! They enjoyed the high street location of their Sixth Street storefront for nearly 12 years. However, the building is slated for redevelopment and it was time to move. Derrick’s real estate accolades are well known and wide spread. However, if you were to ask Derrick what he is most proud of, he would say, helping families accomplish their goals through great sound advice in the same neighborhood he grew up in. Derrick’s business model is anything but typical. It has been developed and massaged over years with one maxim: always put the client ahead of the deal. He has built his business one client at a time. No team of agents behind Derrick, only his long-time support staff of Renee and Dawn.“I’m the only person you will speak with from the day we meet until your home changes hands, unless you walk in my office which I encourage you to do!”

ASK A REALTOR

Q A

I noticed that one of your listings stated that it was virtually staged. What does that mean?

Virtual staging is a new stateof-the-art technology that I have been trying out on some of the newer homes that I have listed. Although these homes are empty, this technology gives me the ability to DERRICK THORNHILL virtually add things like furniture, area Park Georgia Realty rugs, patio furniture, ﬂowers, etc. People often have trouble visualizing how things will look in an empty home. This technology gives a sense of what the space will feel like once furnished. With different staging styles, I can customize each listing with items that are appropriate to that style of house. The other advantage is how quickly the process happens. I can virtually stage a home in 24 - 48 hours compared to the much longer process of traditional staging. As always, I like to stay abreast of the latest marketing tools in the world of real estate. This is another one of the many marketing tools that I use to sell your home for top dollar. Call me today to discuss marketing your home!

ASK A VETERINARIAN

Q A

My cat hates having her nails trimmed! What can I do?

Regular nail clipping can help prevent destructive scratching. Get your cat used to grooming from a young age. Start slowly. At the DR. MANJU ARORA beginning, you may only gently stroke one paw for a second or two. Immediately offer a special treat (preferably a delicious treat such as yoghurt or liver pate). Repeat for several days until your cat is comfortable with this. The next step is to gently press the top and bottom of a digit to extend the nail and to clip the very tip of one nail. Slowly work up to trimming more than one nail per session and reward each time. This process may take weeks so be patient! Do not to clip too far up the nail where there is a blood vessel. Talk to your veterinarian for more help and advice.

Change Your Skincare with the Seasons

Yes! It’s time to pack up our summer clothes and sandals and dig out our sweaters, leggings and boots! Just as we need to change our wardrobes we need to switch up our skincare KATIE MARSHALL routine to protect and moisturize against the environmental changes which impact the way our skin behaves. As a rule, it’s a good idea to maintain two primary skincare routines – Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. You know your skin better than anyone, but in general you should opt for lighter weight products with higher SPF in the warmer months and thicker, more hydrating products in the cooler months. Typically clients will change their gel cleansers to creamier cleansers and light weight moisturizers to heavier or silicone based moisturizers. Some clients will add a hydrating serum to help lock in moisture and prevent TEWL.

Community OUR PAST

How people did vacay in the 1870s Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

When people travelled in the early decades of our city and province, there were places to stay as they took in the communities and enjoyed the landscape, the steamboat travel between the Island and the Mainland, and viewed reminders of a gold rush that prompted much of the colony’s start. In the late 1870s, travellers from Seattle or San Francisco, for instance, would likely initially arrive at Victoria, then make their way through the Gulf Islands to the Fraser River and Burrard Inlet. In all these places there were hotels in which to stay while seeing the sights. In Victoria, there was the Colonial Exchange, the Pacific Telegraph Hotel, and the Douglas House among a long list of accommodations. The Colonial Exchange offered a hotel and restaurant and called itself “the best accommodation for travellers.” The Pacific Telegraph Hotel on Store Street described itself as the cleanest hotel in the area and that it operated on the “European principle.” The Douglas House was somewhat different in that it was a former private home redone as a hotel, fully “fitted and furnished” with rooms that were “cheerful and sunny.” On the mainland, Burrard Inlet had a spot that probably drew visitors because of what it offered.The Hastings Hotel was “situated at the end of the road

from New Westminster” and was kept up as a “First Class House” which had “a table which will be supplied with the best the market affords and all the delicacies of the season.”The bar had the “choicest brands of wines, liquors, and cigars.” And to add one more item of interest meant to attract the visitor and traveller, there was a skating rink attached to the hotel. A visitor, completing a trip to the Island and the Mainland, had a couple of options to take to see New Westminster. Travel could be arranged on the road that ended at Hastings as this would arrive in downtown New Westminster, the former capital on the Fraser, or it was possible to travel on one of the steamboats that regularly went from Burrard Inlet to the river. Once our traveller got to the Royal City there were many places to find accommodation, meals and shops that were well known. The hotel that stood out was the Colonial Hotel owned by P. Arnaud, on the main road, Columbia Street. “This handsome structure is now complete and is without exception the best hotel in the province.” This hotel advertised that it had accommodation for 80 guests, suites for families, drawing and dining rooms for private parties, a spacious billiard saloon; the bar had the best to offer and the food available was “superintended by an artist from Europe.” And so we can see that a traveller in early B.C. had many options and usually had a good time.

Community Time to ditch junk food fundraisers? Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

Bake sales, pizza parties, cake walks and hot dog days.These are the go-to fundraising options at most B.C. schools and some parents aren’t too pleased. People love food, so it makes sense to have edible offerings when raising much-needed funds for schools. Many parents (like myself) dislike making lunches, so offering lunch programs that both bury the burden of lunch-making and raise much-needed funds for their child’s school seems like a great solution. But junk food isn’t the only option. When it comes to ensuring that kids are presented with healthier lunch options in school cafeterias, the new policies that have been put in place in several provinces across Canada seem like a great start, but is banning all non-healthy foods from schools the right solution? One province has taken it

a step too far. In New Brunswick – the first province in Canada to ban junk food from schools and where a healthy food policy has been in place for over a decade – a stricter policy was put in place this past June, increasing bans on foods. As a result, local parents are left starving for more options as they face challenges that have arisen as a result. The list of food and beverage items banned has expanded to include items such as chocolate milk and juices – drinks that are no longer allowed in school cafeterias. Not only are kids restricted to water and milk as drink options, but what’s most upsetting for local New Brunswick parents, is that the food bans now extend to those school-fundraising activities that reach beyond the cafeteria walls, including outside initiatives hosted by the school parent advisory councils. These PAC groups run several school events geared towards raising funds for children who come from

families who cannot afford to provide lunch for their kids, and school supplies for classrooms with a lessthan-satisfactory budget for books. One school in the region raised over $8,000 through a Halloween candy campaign, and with these new regulations in place, they are worried that those missing funds will result in hungry kids and a serious scarcity of supplies. B.C., P.E.I., Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario all have healthy lunch policies in place, but an outright ban on foods has not been put in place – at least not yet. According to the Guidelines For Food and Beverage Sales in B.C. Schools – a mandated policy created by the Government of B.C. to encourage healthy eating in schools – the minimum nutrition standards that must be met when food and beverages are sold to students are clearly defined, yet many fundraising initiatives have opted for some less-than-healthy lunch options instead.

While I agree with the push to put healthier foods in schools, I think moderation should be modelled, with some exceptions made for special occasions such as birthdays and holidays. Instead of vilifying certain foods, we should educate parents about the damaging effects that some of the junk food items can have on their children, and encourage them to make healthy meals at home. I would love for my children to nosh on quinoa and kale chips for their school lunch fundraisers, but my picky eaters would just pack those items and bring them back home. I’m happy to treat them to a few pizza days if it helps their school to feed children in need and provide much-needed funds for supplies and other items. School districts shouldn’t feel fed up with fundraisers that feed kids; they should be focusing on making sure that the kids get fed.

Operatic tenor explores his Indigenous roots in concert A classically trained operatic tenor explores his Indigenous roots through music – and the result is a concert that “promises to be one of the most incredible things you’ll see at the Massey Theatre.” That’s how a press release from the theatre describes the upcoming performance by Jeremy Dutcher. A Musical Mosaic is onstage Saturday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. Dutcher, a member of the Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick, studied music in Halifax before taking a chance to work in the archives at the Canadian Museum of History, transcribing Wolastoq songs

from 1907 wax cylinders. “Many of the songs I’d never heard before, because our musical tradition on the East Coast was suppressed by the Canadian government’s Indian Act,” Dutcher said in a press release. Dutcher heard ancestral voices singing forgotten songs and stories, and he found himself drawn to creating his own music in dialogue with those voices. Those “collaborative” compositions were collected together on his debut LP Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa – an LP that earned him the honour of being shortlisted for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize.

“I’m doing this work because there’s only about a hundred Wolastoqey speakers left,” he said in the release. “It’s crucial for us to make sure that we’re using our language and passing it on to the next generation. If you lose the language, you’re not just losing words; you’re losing an entire way of seeing and experiencing the world from a distinctly Indigenous perspective.” Massey Theatre is at 735 Eighth Ave. Tickets for the Jeremy Dutcher concert are $22 regular or $10 for students and seniors, available through www.ticketsnw.ca.

Chilling drama kicks off new Vagabond season It’s cut off from the outside world by its remote location, shunned by all who know its forbidding and sinister reputation. Hill House has stood empty for many years – but its isolation is broken by the arrival of Dr. Montague, an investigator of supernatural phenomena who intends to delve into the morbid history of the house. That’s the premise of The Haunting of Hill House, the drama adapted by F. Andrew Leslie from the novel by Shirley Jackson.Vagabond Players are bringing the chilling drama to the stage at Bernie Legge Theatre from Oct. 4 to 27. The play’s action follows the arrival of a small group of visitors, led by Montague, who come to probe its secrets – and who are made uneasy by strange and eerie occurrences until the evil forces of Hill House are goaded to a new and fatal fury. The cast is led by Roger Monk as Dr. Montague and Elizabeth Drummond as Eleanor Vance, a shy young

woman who becomes deeply affected by the occult forces that have made the house uninhabitable. Alex Ross is Luke Sanderson, the young heir to Hill House, and Bev Pride is Mrs. Montague, a woman as deeply committed to communicating with the spirits as her husband is. The cast is rounded out by Celeste Musseau as the free-spirited Theodora, Bill McNaughton as Mrs. Montague’s assistant, Arthur, and Alison Main-Tourneur as Mrs. Dudley, the dour caretaker who always goes home before nightfall. The Haunting of Hill House is onstage at the Bernie Legge Theatre, Queen’s Park, from Oct. 4 to 27,Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $17, or $15 for seniors and youth, with $12 previews on Oct. 4 and 5. Tickets are available online at vagabondplayers.ca or by calling the reservations line at 604-521-0412.

When two a cappella quintets find each other, it only makes sense to team up. That’s what New Westminster-based Quayside Voices and Victoria’s Fifth Street decided when they first worked together during a Canada Day performance at River Market this summer. They decided to go on tour together starting this fall, but, when a medical issue came up for one of Fifth Street’s members, the two groups postponed the tour until 2019. But their original tour launch date, Oct. 6, will still be a special occasion: the two groups are performing a special concert at 100 Braid Street Studios instead. “We are all determined to put on an amazing experience and only see this as a detour for our tour QUINTEssential (because we’re both a cappella quintets),” writes Quayside’s Stephanie Lam in an email to the Re-

Carving a diamond passion from wood NewWest teen creates own hitting tools with a lathe, a gouge and a lot of patience

GOING YARD: New Westminster’s Oscar Porcellato has launched his share of hits, and now has added bat making to his repetoire. He turns a 36inch billet of maple into a slugging tool in under six hours. PHOTOS CORNELIA NAYLOR

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

In a dimly light garage, Oscar Porcellato works away. Patiently, he guides his gouge across the 32-inch stalk of maple that spins in the old lathe he found online.The machine churns noisily and the shavings, fine pieces that seem to float briefly, carpet the concrete floor. It’s nearly a finished product, but there are still a few hours of fine-tuning before Porcellato has another maple tool to add to his arsenal. “I’ve always been pretty hands on,” said Porcellato. “We’ve always had a garage where I’m making stuff, breaking stuff. I’ve always done woodworking in school so I was always around it. It was approachable. It’s not like ‘I want to make a bat, but I don’t know if I can.’ I’m pretty sure I could do it.” The first one was a challenge, as he began with a four-sided stalk of maple and not the cylinder bil-

lets that are quick to start. Porcellato had to grind down the corners and smooth the wood before seeing the makings of a bat.The measuring, tapering and sanding took longer, too, but after nearly two days of labour he had his first at hand. Now he can whittle a billet into a custom bat in about five hours. “The second one I’ve gotten a bunch of hits with. I’ve sold two to teammates, and they really like them. It’s awesome.Whenever I get a good hit with a bat I’ve made I hear about it, ‘What’s that, that’s the bat you made?’” The final touches include putting his signature mark on it, a stylized OP, before staining it. This bat he’s working on is being made for an acquaintance – New Westminster’s own Justin Morneau – who Porcellato had a chance to meet when Morneau’s team paid a visit to Seattle a few years ago. The one-time American League MVP and two-time Silver Slugger

winner, who retired after 14 seasons in 2016, is working with the Minnesota Twins as a special advisor. One of Porcellato’s prized possessions is one of Morneau’s MLB bats, given to him by Justin’s dad. He’s got nearly a half-dozen wooden weapons on hand, tools

Whenever I get a good hit with a bat I’ve made I hear about it.

that the 16-year-old swings to full effect when he’s on the diamond. The New West Secondary student spent this past year as the designated hitter with the North Shore Twins junior premier team, a squad that went on to capture the provincial title to cap an overwhelming 45-3 season.

In 34 games for the Twins, Porcellato hit .277, driving in 20 runs. In his one playoff appearance, the six-foot-one lefthanded hitter was 2-for-3 with three runs driven in. But it was a stacked powerhouse lineup and while he filled the role of designated hitter admirably, the teen has taken the opportunity as a graduating junior to sign with the Whalley Chiefs of the B.C. Premier League. He’s been told he’ll get to play first base and likely hit in the heart of the order. His connection to Morneau began a handful of years ago while playing with New West Little League, when Justin’s dad George took an interest in the young slugger. He was patient and helped the youth become a better player. “I wasn’t super good at first, but I liked it,” recalled Porcellato. “After a while, when I was 10, I started working with George, and he kind of taught me how to be good. I worked privately with him, because my dad knew him from la-

crosse.” His dad, who also operated his own business until recently, said the athletic side and now a business side are good fits for Oscar. “He’s got the entrepreneurial bug. He did his research, learned how to do this himself.When he sells one he charges GST, creates an invoice and all those things,” said Ray. The evolution of the baseball bat has distinctive Canadian lineage in the modern era. Barry Bonds began swinging the Canadian-made rock maple Sam Bat, which along with other reputed elements, helped launch an MLBrecord 73 home runs in 2001. There’s the love of the game extending into a business hobby. The result is the joy of holding a bat that when used right can leave opposing pitchers hanging their heads. “My job was to drive the ball. Other guys maybe their jobs were to get on, but my job was to get Continued on page 40

Hyacks utilize running game to catapult past Royals

Scooping up a fumble at the 20-yard line, New Westminster Hyacks’ lineman Evan Nolli picked up a rare touchdown to lead his team to a 36-6 victory over the Handsworth Royals in B.C. AAA football action last Friday. Nolli’s major came in the first quarter, after Broxx Comia gave the Hyacks an early lead on a 27-yard run. Michael Simone converted Nolli’s touchdown, scoring the

two-point play to make it 14-0. Handsworth would counter on a long 92-yard passing play, but New West quarterback Kinsale Philip replied on a 20-yard dash. Up 22-6 entering the second half, the Hyacks added to their lead when Comia broke free on a 46-yard play. Grade 11 rusher Michael Udoy capped the offence in the final frame with a 35-yard

run into the end zone. The run game provided the heavy lifting offence-wise, racking up 254 total yards on the day. Michael Kingsley produced a teamhigh 107 yards on 17 carries. On the other side of the ball, the Hyacks defence limited Handsworth to just 139 yards, including a minus-31 on the run side. Nolli set the tone at that end, too, picking up four quarterback sacks and five tackles.

Arjun Bal contributed four tackles, while Ajay Chol and Saahil Bhambra chipped in three tackles apiece. Bhambra also sacked the Royals’ QB three times. New West, which travels to South Delta to play the 1-1 Sun Devils on Saturday (1 p.m. kickoff), is one of just two undefeated Western Conference teams (at 2-0), alongside Notre Dame.

Royals split with Cap Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

It was a tale of two games – well, actually, four halves – but when the smoke cleared it could be said that the Douglas College Royals were lucky to earn a split. If anything, the Capilano University Blues may have just been a tad unlucky. A heroic rally in injury time saw the Royals erase a 2-1 deficit and exit the pitch Saturday with a 3-2 victory, thanks to two quick strikes from Burhan Waisy. A day later, Capilano exacted its revenge with a dominating 6-2 trumping of the visitors. Douglas struck first Saturday on Tyler Richardson’s goal 22 minutes into the game but spent nearly all of the second half on their heels, as Capilano tied it two minutes into the frame then took the lead at the 60-minute mark. It appeared that was how it would end, until Waisy’s heroics in injury time. He won it just a minute after tying it with a strike in the dying seconds. From that surge, the defending league champions should have garnered some momentum for the next day’s rematch. Somebody forgot to tell Capilano that, however. The Blues’ Keith Jackson scored

four times as Cap built up a 5-0 first half lead en route to an easy decision. David Sun and Richardson supplied the goals for Douglas. The Royals still sit first overall in the PacWest men’s soccer league at 3-1-2 but just a point ahead of the Blues. They visit Langara on Saturday and return home to play third-place Vancouver Island on Sunday, 3:30 p.m. at Town Centre Park.

SPLIT LEAVES ROYALS BLUE A home-and-home series against the last place Capilano Blues left the defending provincial champion Douglas College Royals holding a narrow twopoint lead in the PacWest women’s soccer league standings. Capilano eked out the game’s only goal in the 83rd minute when Claire Ye beat the Royals’ Alexa Gazzola. While they had their fair share of possession, Douglas managed just three shots on Darian Roussy, who picked up the shutout. It was same story but a different winner the next day, with Mikayla Hamilton netting her league-leading fourth goal in a 1-0 Royals victory. Douglas visits second-place Langara on Saturday, and hosts Vancouver Island on Sunday, 1 p.m. at Town Centre Park.

when I’m hand-making them, the knob might be a bit different, the weight might be different. I can customize it.When I make one and I might swing it around it’s like ‘Oh, this is nice, I want to take some cuts with this.’”

Lois lived in many Saskatchewan communities growing up as her family moved regularly with her school-teacher father through the tough Depression and War years. The family moved to White Rock, B.C. (1949) where Lois graduated from Semiahmoo High School (1952) and from the Vancouver General Hospital School of Nursing (RN, 1956). She met Irwin at a curling game between the Stewarts and the Stapletons on New Year’s Day in 1954, and the incredible team of “Lois and Irwin” was joined in marriage in September of 1956.

COMING EVENTS

Mom and Dad were two prairie kids who wanted to experience the world and they chose first to advance Irwin’s medical training in both England (1957-1961) and New York (1961-1963), before they settled in New Westminster in 1963. Here Mom became an integral part of the community while raising her family she organized sports club and school trips and fundraising ventures, organized and supported Rotary activities, hosted and counselled Rotary Exchange students, led family vacations, and more. Their love of travel and their shared passion for contributing to others led Lois and Irwin to set up itinerant medical clinics in many locations in remote parts of B.C., the Yukon, and the world. They led teams of health professionals and other volunteers to Africa (Zimbabwe and Uganda in particular), Fiji, and Thailand but also explored and enjoyed Australia, China, the Philippines, Bali, India, Mexico and Pakistan, making lifelong friends everywhere they went. Rotary, an integral part of Mom and Dad’s life and volunteer efforts, supported many of their overseas medical projects and recognized Lois as a Paul Harris Fellow for her many contributions. Amidst her many accomplishments, Lois was committed to her children and her eight grandchildren - creating magical times together; cheering them on in their many activities of lacrosse, hockey, basketball, dance, track and field and more; sharing some of her special places with them (Whistler, Sakinaw Lake and Wenatchee cherry orchard) and even taking them on trips to Disneyland, Africa, Australia and Fiji! Support from the family and her incredible care-giver, Karen Cavaleri, helped Mom in her later struggles with Alzheimer’s disease, as did the dedicated staff at the Kiwanis Care Centre. A Celebration of Lois’s wonderful life will be held at Kearney Funeral Home Chapel, 219-6th Street, New Westminster on Saturday, September 29th at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to either the Rotary Foundation of Canada (PO Box 493, New Westminster, B.C., Canada V3L 4Y8) to support ongoing health care work in developing nations or the Alzheimer Society of B.C.
