Diversity wins big in election

Isittime forlabour candidates toformtheir ownparty?

Team Cote sweep brings a new diversity to New West politics Story by Cayley Dobie & Julie MacLellan

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

T

he faces of New Westminster city council and school board have most decidedly changed.

In an election where “diversity” became a buzzword, and voters and candidates alike started talking about how to get underrepresented people into office, it has happened.

Mayor Jonathan Cote cruised to victory with 73 per cent of the vote – and every member of Team Cote won a spot on city council and school board.

With those wins came a shift away from the allwhite, often male-dominated councils and school boards of the past.

Visible minority candidates have found their way, not only into office, but to the top of the polls. And the gender balance has decidedly swung in favour of women – with some younger women included, at that.

Nadine Nakagawa, a selfdescribed millennial of Japanese descent, finished the night atop the council polls with 7,764 votes, while Anita Ansari, whose family hails from Pakistan, topped the school board race with 6,843 votes.

Ansari told the Record during the campaign that diversity – or the visible lack thereof in the city’s elected officials - was an important consideration for her in deciding to run in the first

“I have a daughter, and I want her to be able to imagine to be mayor of someplace.Whether she chooses to or not, I want the possibilities to be open for a woman of colour,” she said in an interview before the election.

Nakagawa will be joined on council by fellow newcomer Chinu Das, who had championed diversity and inclusion throughout the campaign, bringing up the issue at all-candidates meetings when the predomi-

nately Caucasian audiences failed to reflect the city’s diverse makeup.

Council also shifted from two women to three, as incumbent Mary Trentadue also won her seat back.

They’re joined by fellow Team Cote council incumbents Patrick Johnstone, Chuck Puchmayr and Jaimie McEvoy.

In perhaps the biggest shift of the night, the gender balance on school board shifted dramatically in favour of women. Incumbent Mark Gifford was the

lone male to earn a spot on the board, ending the night in fourth spot.The six other spots were filled by Gifford’s Team Cote running mates Ansari, Dee Beattie, Gurveen Dhaliwal and Maya Russell, and New West Progressives candidate Danielle Connelly and incumbent independent candidate Mary Lalji.

“There’s so many women,” an excited Dhaliwal told the Record.

Dhaliwal said, as a woman of colour, it’s particularly important to her to be

able to connect with a diverse community – for example, being able to talk to residents in Punjabi about issues such as SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) education, and help them to feel connected to the school district.

“When I speak to somebody in Punjabi, and I’m able to communicate the complexities of SOGI in a language they understand, then they feel connected to the school system and it’s so exciting.”

The “labour machine” crushed the competition in New Westminster’s 2018 civic election.

Team Cote, a group of candidates who campaigned together and are endorsed by the New Westminster and District Labour Council and supported by local NDP politicians, ran one candidate for mayor, six for council and five for school trustee – taking the top spots in all three races.The New West Progressives – an electors group that formed a year ago in part to bring some different perspectives to the local elected bodies – won just a single seat on school board.

From its formation, the Progressives struck a nerve with the labour-endorsed candidates and their supporters, by selecting the colour orange (often associated with the NDP in B.C. and federal politics) and the name Progressives, a word the labour-endorsed candidates have often used to describe their platforms.

“The voters that actually do come out and vote in New Westminster are informed. It’s difficult to fool them,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, a member of Team Cote. “We were worried at the beginning that the orange colours and the new Progressives were going to possibly take about eight to 10 per cent of the vote from us.”

City ELECTIONS

Progressives get shut out on council

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The battle of 2018 may be over, but the war to win seats on city council and school board will go on for the New West Progressives.

The electors’ slate formed a year ago in an effort to bring different perspectives to city council and school board, where the entire council and a majority of school board candidates who were elected in the last civic election had been endorsed by the New Westminster and District Labour Council.

On Saturday, all of the candidates who were endorsed by the labour council, including the mayor, six councillors and five school trustees, won seats on city council and school board.

“I think if we had another six or maybe 12 months under our belt, we would have been able to break through on the council.We probably would have been able to get one or two seats on council,” said Daniel Fontaine, who helped found the group. “We just ran out of time.”

When the ballots were tallied Saturday night, the New West Progressives had won one of seven seats on school board (Danielle Connelly placed fifth), while other NWP candidates came in eighth (Cyrus Sy), ninth (Lisa Falbo) and 13th ( J.P. Leberg.). In the council race, labour-endorsed council candidates took the top six spots, with NWP candidates Fontaine, Ellen Vaillancourt, Paul McNamara and Bryn Ward taking the seventh through tenth spots.

Fontaine said the group knew it was in a “David and Goliath” battle going up against Team Cote, which is the group that’s endorsed

Thirty candidates vied for 14 seats on New Westminster city council and school board – one mayor, six councillors and seven school trustees. Here are the unofficial results from the Oct. 20 civic election, according to the city: MAYOR !Jonathan Cote – 10,487 (72.99 per cent) !Nikki Binns – 1,850 (12.88 per cent) !Harm Woldring – 1,512 (10.52 per cent) !Jimmie Bell – 519 (3.61 per cent)

WATCHING THE NUMBERS: Progressives school board candidate Cyrus Sy (left) stands next to council candidate Daniel Fontaine Saturday as they watched the poll results roll in. PHOTO LISA KING by the labour council and supported by provincial and federal NDP politicians.

“At the end of the day, if that is what the community wants, if they want to have 100 per cent of the council, I am not going to dispute that if that’s what the community wants,” he said.

“But what I can say from the results is that we have been around less than 12 months and we have certainly made one heck of a dent in that District Labor Council machine. If we continue down that road over the next four years, I am actually very confident that we will be able to finally have a different voice on council, to have someone elected that was not part of the same political party.You could feel the energy, you could feel the excitement on the doorstep. People wanted change.

They had to come out and vote for that change.”

While some may view the New West Progressives inability to break through at council and to win only one seat on school board as a failure, Fontaine said the fact that the group was able “to make such a dent in the district labour council machine” bodes well for the next four years and will inspire others to get involved.

They need to be held accountable for everything that they do.

“The public has to understand that we have only been around 12 months.

We have only really gotten around to pulling this whole organization together in less than 12 months.The

District Labour Council has been controlling council for the better part of a couple of decades, and they have the full resources of every labour union in town.

They have all the machinery that comes with that,” he said. “We are just a bunch of community people who have never run for political office before, municipally.To be able to do that, and come out on the ballot as we have and to be as strong we have been on the ballot tonight, provides a lot of inspiration to people, and I think it will attract some additional candidates to run in the next election under the New West Progressives banner. I am pretty confident that will happen.”

Fontaine hopes Team Cote doesn’t view the election results as a reason for not engaging and not listening to residents, noting that he heard over and over

again from people that they felt decisions were made befor formally being considered by city council. In particular, he said he heard from many Queensborough residents who don’t think their voices are heard in council chambers.

McNamara encouraged New West Progressives supporters to stay on top of happenings at city council.

“Don’t just say in four more years we will be back in 2022. No way,” he said.

“They need to be held accountable for everything that they do for the next four years. …You’ve got to keep putting your input in and saying we need this, we need this infrastructure, we need something for our youth. If we stay quiet until 2022, it is not going to help us.We’ve got to be vocal.

We’ve got to get ourselves known. Please keep fighting for the next four years.”

‘It’s a big vote in favour of women in politics’ Continued from page 1 Beattie echoed Dhaliwal’s excitement. She ran in the 2016 byelection and lost by fewer than 100 votes to Lalji.This time around, she pushed hard and found herself in second with 6,511 votes.

“I always thought I was a couple votes behind, so that motivated me to work a little bit harder. I know what it’s like to be behind, so I knew what it was like and I just kept going,” Beattie said.

THE RESULTS

When asked what she thought about the new, female-dominated school board, she laughed.

“Mark’s going to be so surrounded by women he isn’t going to know what to do,” she said.

“I think we have some great people with great ideas, and I think we’re going to be able to work together. I think it’s going to really work out nicely.”

Connelly agreed.

“I’ve worked with a lot

of these folks, I’ve been on PACs with these folks. I don’t see any issue moving forward with anyone who’s put their name forward,” she told the Record.

McEvoy said the outcome on council and school board made a big statement about representation in politics.

“It’s a big vote in favour of women in politics and diversity,” he said. “I think people want diversity, I think people want more women in politics.”

Mayor has ‘hesitations’ over forming a party Continued from page 1 While the New West Progressives formed an official elector’s slate,Team Cote did not and billed itself as a group of like-minded, independent candidates.

The New West Progressives argued that the labour- and NDP-supported slate benefited financially by taking the “hybrid route” of campaigning together but not taking it to the next step of forming an electors group.

“If anybody believes that this is a group of independents, I’ve got some land to sell them in Florida,” said Daniel Fontaine, one of the founders of the New West Progressives and the seventh-place finisher in the six-seat council race.

“These are not independents.They are part of a Team Cote caucus or Team NDP, whatever you want to call it.”

While the labour-endorsed slate makes no secret of the fact that its members campaign together, share an office space and other campaign resources, to date it has shied away from forming an official electors group, despite appeals for transparency from critics.

Cote said the labour-endorsed candidates have debated in the last few elec-

resources.We do talk to each other.We do talk about strategy.That is a discussion that we are going to be having for sure: Is it time to continue on? Is it time to form a political party?”

Fontaine suspects the labour-endorsed team will likely make its relationship more official in 2022.

“This was the last time that we’ve seen this so-

called fake slate,” he predicted. “The next time they will definitely band together. I assume what they will do as the next step is to form an electoral organization and they will realize that we came that close to potentially winning some seats on council and they will want to do whatever it takes to ensure that that doesn’t happen again.They

did a hybrid approach this time and it was successful for them, but the public, now knowing what they have done, I think they will form that slate officially.”

While the public has spoken, Fontaine said it’s evident that the NDP or New Westminster District and Labour Council “machine” was hard at work on Team Cote’s behalf.

tions whether the time has come to actually form a local political party. He said it “would be very helpful during a political campaign to help connect candidates together,” but he’s always appreciated the fact that candidates are able to vote on their own after an election – and avoided the “partisan politics” that have been seen in other cities, like Vancouver.

“One of my hesitations of forming a party is that you are cementing that type of partisan politics, not only during the campaign, but also in the future council work,” he said. “It is go-

ing to be something we will debate once again after this election.We will see where that discussion goes.”

Puchmayr, a former NDP MLA and longtime council member, said those discussions will occur before the next election.

“I was at meetings before I ever thought of running for council under the NDP and there was an attempt to start a group called the Royal City Electors.The argument had always been at that time, because we had a majority on council, why change it if it’s not broken?” he said. “There will be some soul searching.We do pool

Voter turnout drops slightly The number of voters in New Westminster has gone up, but the actual voter turnout has gone down.

According to the city’s election office, the voter turnout for the Oct. 20 civic election was 29 per cent, which is based on the number of registered voters (50,613) on the provincial voters’ list for New West-

minster, plus new registrations over the course of voting. A total of 14,655 ballots were cast for this year’s election, which was slightly below the 2014 election, when 14,564 people cast votes.

Because there was a fewer number of registered voters in 2014 (44,768), that year’s turnout was calculated at 32.5 per cent.

Missing vehicle: New Westminster Police are searching for a blue, four-door 1998 Toyota Corolla, similar to the one pictured. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Police search for vehicle owned by deceased man New Westminster police officers are searching for a vehicle that belongs to a man who was found dead recently.

The deceased is a 57-year-old New Westminster man who was found dead in his home. His cause of death is unknown at this time, but police don’t suspect foul play, according to a press release from the police department.

Any time there is a sud-

den death in the city, police are brought in to investigate, according to the police department.

The deceased’s vehicle is one of a number of belongings officers are rounding up as part of their investigation.They say the man regularly parked in the rear parking lot of his building, in the 500 block of Sixth Avenue, but it is missing and officers are trying to determine if it was stolen or

not.

“We would like to ensure that all of his property is secure and turned over to his family,” Sgt. Jeff Scott said in the release.

The vehicle is a blue, 1998, four-door Toyota Corolla with a B.C. licence plate, number 985 MSB. If anyone sees this vehicle, they are asked to call the New Westminster Police Department at 604-5255411 or 911.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Battle of the acronyms coming to your mailbox

So, you thought you were finished with voting?

You thought you were done with petty politics, exaggerated claims and hysterical fear mongering?

You thought you were done having to research in order to make an informed decision?

You were mistaken.

Welcome to the exciting world of the referendum on proportional representation (we’re not being sarcastic; it really is exciting to take part in such an important referendum) – also known as

prop rep.

Or simply, PR. Ballots have been sent out and include two questions – the first will ask whether B.C. should switch from the current first-past-the-post election system (FPTP) to a system of proportional representation; the second question asks voters to rank three systems of proportional representation.

It’s important to get to know all the acronyms involved with PR because there are a few for the different systems being looked at

to have PR replace our current voting system FPTP (hey, another acronym).

There is mixed-member proportional (MMP), dual member proportional (DMP) and rural-urban proportional (RUP). If you do want to ditch FPTP, study up on these three options. (We have a handy guide to them on page 15.)

This isn’t the first time B.C. voters have been asked about switching from the current FPTP electoral system to a form of proportional representation – refer-

endums in 2005 and 2009 were both defeated (a previous recommended systems was the single-transferable vote – also known as STV).

Voting packages are set start arriving in mailboxes across the province between now and Nov. 2. Completed ballots must be returned to Elections BC by 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 30.

Complicating things are the rotating strikes from Canada Post workers.

Chief electoral officer Anton Boegman said earlier this week that the labour

dispute at Canada Post is being watched closely by Elections BC for any potential impact during the mailin referendum period. He expects the delivery of 3.3 million voter packages and ballots to be complete by Nov. 2. Boegman has the authority to add extra time to the deadline, which was done in 2011 when the voting period for a referendum on the harmonized sales tax was extended by two weeks due to a lockout at Canada Post. Packages are also being sent internationally to

registered voters who are temporarily away from their homes in B.C. Anyone who does not receive a package by Nov. 2 can request one by calling Elections BC at 1-800-6618683 or online at elections. bc.ca/ovr.The deadline to request a voting package is Nov. 23.

For more details, visit elections.bc.ca/referendum.

So, that’s a quick rundown on how the referendum works. Now all you have to do is some research and fill out the ballot.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Mayoral upheaval hits the province The outcome of the municipal elections in Metro Vancouver will undoubtedly have a serious impact on the provincial political scene in a number of instances.

NDP MLA Leonard Krog’s successful bid for the Nanaimo mayor’s job creates a hole on the governing bench. His departure leaves the NDP-Green alliance with a reduced majority of just one seat.

Look for Premier John Horgan to call a byelection to fill the seat rather quickly.

The next confidence vote in the legislature will likely be the vote on the budget next spring and, to be safe, Horgan needs that single vote.

Of course, if the B.C. Liberals win that byelection (rather unlikely, given that Nanaimo is one of the safest NDP seats in the province) it would produce a tie in the house, and that, in all likelihood, would force an early provincial election.

Another example? The return of Doug McCallum as Surrey mayor. His vow to scrap the LRT line in Surrey and build a SkyTrain extension may lead to a chaotic situation.The project will cost $1.65 billion, and most of that funding ($1.12 billion) will come from TransLink and regional government. McCallum seems to think TransLink will willingly shift that $1.12 billion to his plan for a SkyTrain extension.There is no guarantee whatsoever of that happening, and the provincial government will be watching with growing alarm.

After all, just last month Premier John Horgan and Prime Minister Justin

Trudeau held a joint news conference announcing the LRT project and the Broadway subway line, and now McCallum wants to wreck one of them with nothing to show in return.

Meanwhile, the B.C. Green Party must like what it saw in the municipal elections, given that civic Greens elected eight of nine candidates on various Vancouver councils and boards, and elected a candidate (exDOA rocker Joe Keithley) to Burnaby council as well.

I am not convinced that kind of breakthrough will translate into a stronger provincial presence for the B.C. Greens, but it has to be encouraging nevertheless.

In addition, the NDP has to like the fact that labourbacked candidates did well in some communities.

Kennedy Stewart, who ran as an independent but is obviously an NDPer, is the new mayor of Vancouver.

Ex-BCGEU president Darryl Walker is now the mayor of the supposedly conservative bastion of White Rock.

Then there is new Burnaby mayor Mike Hurley, who also had labour backing.

A handful of NDP MLAs told me they were just fine with the prospect of a Hurley mayoralty, even it meant knocking off longtime mayor Derek Corrigan, a strong New Democrat himself.

I expect Hurley – and new Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West – to emerge as major political voices in the Metro region, and that will be good news for the sitting government in Victoria.

Driver has lucky/unlucky day A series of “very, very lucky events” saved a motorist from plunging 100 feet from the Queensborough Bridge onto an old sawmill site below in April. A man driving a GEO Tracker clipped another vehicle on the bridge, veered into the northbound lane and took out a section of guardrail. Fortunately, one wheel wedged onto part of the remaining guardrail.The Tracker, however, ended up dangling vertically 100 feet above the old Interfor site below. A passing tow truck and welding vehicle stopped and quickly hooked a cable to the Tracker to prevent it from falling. Firefighters then performed a dangerous long-line rescue to pull the semi-conscious driver to safety.

Great election coverage Editor: I wanted to say thank you to the reporters of the New Westminster Record for all the election coverage that’s been in the paper.

As I do shift work and work weekends, I was not able to get to any of the public debates that the candidates went to, so I relied primarily on the newspaper articles written by yourself and the reporters to make my voting decisions, which I was able to exercise at the advance polling on Wednesday. I also wanted to say thank you to the people at city hall that were able to make it possible for mobility-challenged people to vote. The elevator was not working at city hall on Wednesday, so they managed to set up a separate voting area for people who could not walk up the stairs to the council chambers.

Kim Steel, New Westminster

Disappointed in election Editor: I couldn’t be more disappointed in the outcome of the New West election. I had hoped to wake up on Sunday and find a clean slate had occurred. That people who actually cared about what New West citizens want had been elected, but instead I see the same wasteful-spending mayor and council who have the attitude “We don’t care what you want, we’ll do what we want,” still in charge of running our city.

Add to that the more-than-questionable motives behind the forming of “Team Cote” (deceitful at best) we’re now left to endure another four

years of money being wasted on idiotic projects instead of going to where it is sorely needed. And, of course, us the taxpayers having to pay for that idiocy in the form of even more taxes.

J. O’Reilly, New Westminster

Pot shouldn’t be legal Editor: Growing up in the ‘80s and ‘90s, I witnessed many of my peers using (marijuana).

Often as a way to rebel against parents, teachers, and other authority figures of the day, while at the same time pushing the boundaries of what was socially acceptable. A couple of friends of mine tried it casually in high school, but that wasn’t enough so they then smoked it regularly.

But then that wasn’t enough so they had to move on to something harder, such as cocaine or heroin. These people have ended up dead, in jail, on welfare, or in drug rehab.

These government backers could care less about responsible sale and distribution of marijuana, as long as the money rolls in, it’s just good business. The cannabis act (from) what I’ve read of it has some gray areas and many regulations can be exploited or nullified. The argument of taking profits away from organized crime is bogus, as they will simply move into something else.

Also, the added burden on the health-care system is something to consider given all the health risks associated with smoking it. In conclusion, after seeing where smoking marijuana leads, and who really controls its profits, I oppose marijuana legalization.

While Team Cote holds the balance of power at the school board, Lalji is optimistic the new batch of

“I always hope that with new people, new ideas that they’re going to put students first, and when they sit down at that board table and we have our first meet-

That’s what I want,” Lalji said.

INDEPENDENTS SHUT OUT AT CITY HALL As expected, Mayor Jonathan Cote cruised to victory by a more-than-comfort-

able margin, garnering 73 per cent of the votes. Independent challengers Nikki Binns, at 13 per cent, and Harm Woldring, at 10.5 per cent, plus Jimmie Bell, at 3.6 per cent, were never within striking distance.

The dominance continued at city hall, where the six council spots also went to Team Cote candidates: newcomer Nadine Nakagawa, followed by incumbents Patrick Johnstone, Mary Trentadue and Jaimie McEvoy, then newcomer Chinu Das and incumbent Chuck Puchmayr.

The New West Progressives attempted to find a chink in the Team Cote armour but couldn’t do it, as Daniel Fontaine remained steadily in seventh place throughout the night. He was followed by the rest of his Progressives teammates: Ellen Vaillancourt, Paul McNamara and Bryn Ward.

Independent candidates sat at the bottom of the results list: Mike Ireland, Angela Sealy,Troy Hunter and Benny Ogden, in 11th through 14th spots, respectively.

A voter’s guide to proportional representation Jessica Kerr

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Just when you thought we were done with voting, the ballots in B.C.’s referendum on electoral reform will start going out to households across the province this week. But what exactly are we being asked to vote on?

The ballot will include two questions — the first will ask whether B.C. should switch from the current first-past-the-post election system to a system of proportional representation; the second question asks voters to rank three systems of proportional representation.

So, what is proportional representation and how does it work? We spoke to Richard Johnston, a political science professor at the University of British Columbia.

“The basic idea is that the entitlement of a party to a number of seats in the parliament or legislature should be as closely proportional to its share of the popular vote as arithmetically possible,” he said. “That’s it.”

This isn’t the first time B.C. voters have been asked about switching from the current first-past-the-post electoral system to a form of proportional representation — referendums in 2005 and 2009 were both defeated.

Here are the three systems voters will be asked to rank: MIXED MEMBER PROPORTIONAL (MMP) MMP was first invented for use in Germany in 1949, but it is also the system currently used in New Zealand, Scotland and Wales.

The system divides MLAs into two tiers – local and regional. Local MLAs would be elected as they

Put my 27 years of Successful Real Estate Experience to work FOR YOU! RE/MAX Advantage Realty 321 6th Street, New West

are now.Voters cast a ballot for the candidate they would like to see represent the constituency, and the candidate with the most votes wins that seat. However, residents then cast a second vote for a regional representative. It’s the second vote that determines what the overall share of seats each party is entitled to.

“So if a party gets 40 per cent of the votes cast, then it will get 40 per cent of the seats, to an approximation,” Johnston said.

Any seats that are won at the local level are awarded and subtracted from the overall total.The regional seats are then allocated based on each party’s percentage of that vote.

“So some parties will get a small top-up, some parties will get a bigger top-up, other parties may get seats only through the higher tier, but the total number of seats will be a number that is broadly proportional,” Johnston said.

He added, “It’s an attempt to have local representation mesh with an overall proportional result.”

DUAL MEMBER PROPORTIONAL (DMP) This system was designed in 2013 by Sean Graham, a civil servant in Alberta. It’s not in use anywhere but was one of several electoral systems proposed in a 2016 plebiscite in P.E.I. “From a representational point of view, it’s kind of interesting, kind of smart, but it’s very hard to describe,” Johnston said.

With DMP, almost every riding would elect two representatives. Most of the province’s electoral ridings would be amalgamated with a neighbouring constituency to create larger two-member districts.The largest rural

It’s in the mail: Expect this document to arrive in your mailbox. PHOTO

ELECTIONS BC

districts would likely remain unchanged — parties would run a single candidate and the candidate with the most votes would win the seat.

In the amalgamated ridings, each party would nominate up to two candidates to run in each riding and then designates its number-one candidate and which will be number two.

On election day, voters cast a single vote for the party, not the individual candidates, and the number-one candidate for the party that finishes first gets one seat.

“At this point, half the seats in the house are assigned,” Johnston said.

“Then a counting mechanism is set in [motion] to assign the other half.”

The second seats are then allocated to ensure each party’s share of seats is roughly the same as its share of the popular vote provincewide, needing at

least five per cent of the vote to get any second seats.

RURAL-URBAN PROPORTIONAL (RUP) Johnston said this system “attempts to address straight up what is in some ways a big rhetorical problem for proportional representation in a place like British Columbia, which is that B.C. is vast and mostly empty.”

“They’re trying to preserve some semblance of the existing constituency makeup of the low-density part of the province,” he said.

RUP would combine two proportional systems — MMP and the Single Transferable Vote (STV) system.

“The low-density parts of the province, basically the interior and the north, you would essentially have MMP — individual constituencies and then an up-

per tier of [representatives] selected by basically the same system as described in MMP,” Johnston said.

In the rest of the province, where there are a lot of people but not a lot of turf, ridings would be bundled into larger, multi-member districts and MLAs would be elected using STV. STV was the electoral method proposed by the B.C. Citizens Assembly and was included in the 2005 and 2009 referendums. It uses a preferential ballot where voters rank their preferred candidates on the ballot.

With STV, the counting of the ballots is more complicated, Johnston said, but it is already in use in Ireland, the Australian senate and in Malta. It usually requires several rounds of counting.

Each riding would have a minimum number of votes

needed to win a seat. Any candidate that reaches the quota is elected. If that candidate has more than the required number of votes, the extra votes are transferred to the other candidates based on the voter’s rankings.The candidates with the fewest number of votes are dropped and those votes are also transferred to the remaining candidates using the voter’s next choice.

Voting packages are set to start arriving in mailboxes across the province between Oct. 22 and Nov. 2. Completed ballots must be returned to Elections BC by 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 30.

Anyone who does not receive a package by Nov. 2 can request one by calling Elections BC at 1-800-6618683 or online at elections. bc.ca/ovr.The deadline to request a voting package is Nov. 23. See elections. bc.ca/referendum.

Mr. Hanging Basket has deep roots in New West Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Claude LeDoux has spent a lifetime building community – one plant at a time.

LeDoux recently retired as the City of NewWestminster’s horticulture manager.

LeDoux’s love of gardening bloomed early, as a youngster growing up on a 27-acre property in DeRidder, Louisiana.

“I was born in it. It came to me naturally,” he says of gardening. “I have pictures when I was like six years old – sitting on a step and watching my beans grow.”

Neither of LeDoux’s parents or three siblings gardened, but his father’s friends liked gardening and passed along watermelon, canteloupe and other plants. By the time he was 10, the family had moved to a different home – one where LeDoux single-handedly tended to a massive garden, where he grew everything from okra to turnips, and shared the bounty with neighbours.

LeDoux was planning to go into veterinary medicine, but an acquaintance suggested he take a course with a particular horticulture professor at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now University of Louisiana at Lafayette), and he was soon hooked.

PUTTING DOWN ROOTS IN THE ROYAL CITY On a snowy day in March 1990, LeDoux started work as a gardener with the City of NewWestminster.Within six months, he’d moved into the newly created position of horticulture manager.

“The rose garden was my first project,” he says. “The old rose garden – oh god.”

Now a popular venue for weddings, the rose garden was in sad shape in 1990. Drug paraphernalia was left under a bridge leading into the nearby arena and the garden was filled with half-dead roses.

“I love taking something old and building it back into something,” he says of the project that includ-

ed levelling the site, laying out the new gardens and building a gazebo.

LeDoux had a vision of building community through the city’s greenspaces and gardens – whether it was by connecting people and places through pathways or community gardens.

“The vision was to change the city from a brown situation to a green situation,” he says. “If it’s flowers, if it’s trees, if it’s building the community and getting them more involved in community gardens – all of those things.”

As horticulture manager, LeDoux says he sought to ensure his department was staffed by folks who were passionate about gardening and to give them the freedom to experiment in city gardens.

He also focused on modernizing the city’s greenhouse operation.

“That that is the heart of the operation,” he says. “Without that, you don’t have any diversity and you can’t really control what you are doing.”

MR. HANGING BASKET To some folks around town, LeDoux is known as Mr. Hanging Basket – having launched and hosted the city’s popular hanging basket program more than two decades ago. A rite of spring for many local residents, the program has grown from two classes in its first year to a wide array of classes for beginners, returning gardeners (so many attend that one session is held in Queen’s Park Arena) and specialty classes led by LeDoux and his team.

In addition to beautifying residential areas by helping attendees making about 700 baskets annually, the city makes about 400 baskets annually, some for civic facilities and some that are purchased by local businesses.

“My concept of what I was doing was business and tourism, building beauty in the city,” he explains. “What we want is people to come to the city, or you to go out to dinner and say, ‘Wow this is so cool’ and start promoting our

GROWING COMMUNITY: Claude LeDoux recently retired as the City of New Westminster’s horticulture manager.

He became known as “Mr. Hanging Basket” for launching the city’s popular hanging basket program. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER economy. I would say the most rewarding comments I’ve heard, not by one but by numerous people – is ‘When you drive into New West, there is something different.

I couldn’t figure it out,’ they said, but then all of a sudden they recognize it’s the plantings.”

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS When the B.C. Buildings Corporation decided to sell off the formerWoodlands School property, the city helped develop a master plan for the site. Now known asVictoria Hill, LeDoux is proud that the city pressed for pathways through the parklike setting and connections to other greenways – and the protection and retention of heritage trees on the property.

“There is so much research that speaks to being in a forest, being with trees, how it calms you down and how this area – that is what we wanted, we did not want to lose that,” he says. “These trees

gave significance to the area.Today, people are buying to be in that setting.”

With Port Royal in Queensborough, LeDoux enjoyed the opportunity to help transform the former MacMillan Bloedel mill site from an “industrial wasteland” into a thriving community by creating pathways, planting trees and a insisting the developer construct a community garden.

“Gardening also makes community and draws people together,” he says. “You start to communicate and talk to people.You connect to people. It’s from the heart.

It’s from the earth. It’s your hands.

It’s your passion.You start to see it.

You have food to eat.Your stomach is full, it tastes good. It just builds.That’s why it’s always been a passion to me.”

GIVING BACK LeDoux’s home’s garden, as one might expect, is stunning.

Vegetables, fruits, perennials, succulents, shrubs and other plants fill the NewWest property he’s called home with his partner since 1995.

Instead of grass, vegetables of all sorts grow in the boulevard in front of hisWest End residence, many of them donated to a planting program. Outside of his work with the city, LeDoux launched the Plant-a-Row-Grow-a-Row program, which gets local gardeners to grow extra plants to donate to the program, which passes the fruits and vegetables along to food banks or missions feeding those in need.

“That is why I still have such a closeness to Plant a Row Grow a Row. I am still getting people to grow,” says LeDoux, who continues to coordinate the program.

“You are connected to nature, you are connected to the earth.”

Care homes will get more money for staffing

The British Columbia government is increasing staffing levels in residential care homes to make sure seniors are getting the quality care they need and deserve.

Premier John Horgan recently stopped by Buchanan Lodge in NewWestminster to announce a $240-million investment over three years, funding he said would increase the direct care seniors receive to 3.36 hours per-resident day, on average, in each health authority, by 2021. He said the investment means B.C. will finally hit its own target and deliver the quality care seniors deserve.

“Today, our government announced $240 million – a historic investment in seniors’ direct care that will improve the lives of seniors like Lilly Jacob at Buchanan Lodge in NewWestminster,” said NewWestminster MLA Judy Darcy in a statement to the Record. “All seniors across B.C. will benefit from this commitment to hire 1,500 new staff in all

healthcare professions over three years.”

According to the provincial government, the average direct care hours was 3.11 per-resident day in 2016, but with this new investment that average will increase to 3.24 by 2019 and will reach 3.36 by 2021.

“Staff in residential care homes work incredibly hard and do a fantastic job,” said B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix. “But when residential care homes are understaffed, staff are challenged to deliver the level of care seniors deserve.That is why we’re working to provide the staffing needed to make life better for seniors and the people who care for them.”

By the end of the strategy, the Ministry of Health estimates that approximately 1,500 new full-time equivalent positions will be added, including: 900 health-care aides; 165 registered nurses; 300 licensed practical nurses; 50 allied health-care professionals (physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers); and 100 other

health-care workers, including rehabilitation assistants, activity aides and other allied health-care workers.

Darcy said B.C.’s Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie has done great work in exposing the gaps in care for seniors in B.C. , and the government is stepping up and making the needed investments to ensure that seniors get the care they deserve.

“B.C. seniors and their family members will welcome this significant increase in the care hours that support the most-frail and vulnerable seniors living in care homes throughout B.C.,” Mackenzie said in a press release. “It will mean more help with bathing, feeding and socializing, all the issues identified by those who live in our care homes as what they need.”

The province has also committed to providing funding to support seniors so they can continue living in their own homes longer and help delay or avoid them having to move to

residential care.The 2018 budget announced $75 million over three years would be dedicated to expand respite care and adult day programs to better support family and friend caregivers.

According to the provincial government, residential care homes offer seniors 24hour professional supervision and care in a safe and secure environment.The

majority of people moving into residential care are over the age of 75 years and make up 89 per cent of all residential care clients. As of March 31, 2018, B.C. had 27,913 funded residential care beds, with 9,112 being operated by health authorities and 18,801 being privately operated.

“Caring for seniors is all about relationships,” said

JenniferWhiteside, secretary-business manager with the Hospital Employees Union. “With this significant investment, front-line staff will get the help they need to provide seniors with compassionate, timely care.

And it will make work safer for care aides who have the highest injury rates in the health sector.”

B.C. seniors are using too many anti-psychotic drugs British Columbia’s seniors advocate has released a report showing that the province’s seniors exceed the national average when it comes to the use of antipsychotics.

The Office of the Seniors Advocate recently released a report highlighting the latest health data for B.C. residents receiving home support and living in long-term care facilities.

“These data, released annually by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) are invaluable in telling us about the health of the frail elderly in B.C. who receive home care and live in long-term care facilities,” Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie said in a press release.

The report includes data about the use of antipsychotic medication without a supporting diagnosis for seniors living in long-term care facilities and suggests that one in four residents is receiving antipsychotics without a supporting diagnosis.The numbers also

show that B.C. has a rate 19.3 per cent higher than the national average and efforts in recent years to reduce the number have stalled, with no reduction in the last year.

“Unfortunately, the data show that in B.C., for whatever reason, we are not able to make the gains that other provinces have in reducing the inappropriate use of antipsychotics,” Mackenzie said. “This is troubling, particularly when we look at other data that show our long-term care populations have lower rates of psychiatric and mood disorders and aggressive behaviours than other provinces, and while we have a slightly higher rate of dementia, (3.9 per cent higher) we have a lower rate of residents with moderate to severe dementia, (3.8 per cent lower).

According to the Office of the Seniors Advocate, the data also highlights that B.C. has the oldest and frailest homecare population in Canada, with the second highest rate of car-

egiver distress in the country.

“We can understand the high rate of caregiver distress in B.C. when we look at the population these family members are caring for,” Mackenzie said. “B.C. has the oldest and most frail home-support population in the country. Some positive news is that this year showed a drop in caregiver distress from last year, but there is still an overall increase over the past five years.We hope the data from this year signals a trend and that may be possible given recent government commitments to increase supports to caregivers.”

Seniors at Home and in Long-Term Care, a 2017/2018 Snapshot studies data released by the CIHI on the health status for 32,000 people receiving home support services and 34,000 people living in a subsidized residential care facility.

Former journalist takes helm at Tourism New West Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A former journalist is looking forward to the chance to tell New Westminster’s story.

Judy Frankel, who worked as a journalist before becoming the director of public relations and communications for the Greater Madison Convention and Visitors Bureau and Madison Area Sports Commission in Madison,Wisconsin, is the new face of Tourism New Westminster.The Montreal native is thrilled to be back in Canada after years living in Japan, New York and Wisconsin.

“One of the things I am really excited about doing is working with the destinations in the region – Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby – because I think there is a great regional story to tell here,” she said. “Working together to help tell that regional story is really, really exciting to me. I think that the history, the art and the urban cool that is happening in New West is an inter-

esting story to tell.”

Frankel said she can’t wait to “dig in” to her new job, but her first task is to do some orientation as the position has been vacant since May. “Yes, I have a lot of goals and a lot of plans, but I want to see, really get an understanding of what the financial limitations are as an organization,” she said.

“Certainly as a non-profit I want to make sure we are being penny wise and not pound foolish in terms of spending.”

After moving to Vancouver last fall, Frankel spent some time visiting different parts of Metro Vancouver, including New Westminster. She thought New West was “a very cute, very interesting community” – a view that was only solidified during return visits during the interview process with Tourism New Westminster.

“Each and every time I was more blown away by what I was seeing here,” she told the Record. “I am not like a hippy dippy person, but there was some-

thing palpable.There was an energy.There was an excitement.There was something that was happening here and it was not lost on me at all.”

In addition to a good feeling about the city, Frankel also felt the Tourism New Westminster board members had great enthusiasm and energy. She’s taken over from longtime executive director Tej Kainth, who took a tourism position in Mississauga, Ont. “I was really honoured to be asked to lead the organization because one, I think the organization has been doing a very good job, and now that the former executive director had departed there were big shoes to fill,” she said. “However, I felt really excited about the opportunity of working with a board and a community that is clearly on the cusp of something fantastic happening. I can’t wait to see what we will all be able to do together. I have seen great cooperation, great collaboration, great ideas, great activity. It’s been really

amazing.”

Frankel hopes to use her journalism and tourism experience to highlight New West as a destination.

“There is a youthfulness to the community that is a great juxtaposition to the history,” she said. “You see a lot of young families, you see a lot of younger faces walking around on the streets, yet here it is this historic capital. I love that juxtaposition of the treasuring of the history and the embracing of the past, but also with a modern spin on it.”

Along with a new executive director,Tourism New Westminster also has a new slate of directors for the 2018/19 year, with Susan Greig of 100 Braid St. Studios taking on the role of president, and Tracy Eyssens and Rich Patterson being new additions to the board. Other members of Tourism New Westminster’s board are: Alejandro Diaz; Jorden Foss;Vali Marling; Stephen O’Shea; Glenda Ploegman; Bonnie Poon; and Blair Fryer (non-voting).

Q A

Why is motorization a smart option?

The number one benefit is safety. Motorization is an option, especially if you have kids and/or pets.

LACEY & CLAY TIERNEY And with no cords, loops or tassels, motorization provides a very clean look. Another benefit of motorization is that there is an even usage draw which increases the longevity of the blinds (or shades) and the components. Motorization works with the ease of a button; app on your phone or tablet, including voice commands with Alexa and Google Home. The shades can be powered by battery, plug-in, hard wire, and rechargeable headrail. As with all technologies, the prices have dropped substantially over the years and motorization and/or smart home automation services are now an attainable option.

How can Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® assist Yogis?

Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® is a relaxing way of releasing and exploring body tension, through the body-mind connection.

Accessing your wisdom and JULIE JOYAL Registered Jin Shin Do® Acupressurist inner guidance in that quiet space and place within you, without exertion. It’s another way to “do the work”. It is very relaxing, like savasana.

Sometimes there are stories or emotion inside that tension. And when that story, emotion, tension or energy is released, the body is no longer tying up energy holding that tension. This leaves you with a deep feeling of relaxation and more qi, or vital energy flowing through your body at any given time. I wonder what you could do with that new found energy? Think about this: It is said that blood follows Qi. Qi follows mind. As many yogis are aware, it is possible to reach enlightenment without ever having done a single asana.

Q A

Is Marine Collagen good for the skin?

Marine collagen, comes exclusively from fish skin and their scales. 70% of our skin is made of Type 1 collagen, by supplementing with Marine Peptides, which are a Type 1 collagen, helps KATIE MARSHALL to improve skin hydration and firmness. It also helps in stabilizing blood sugar, reduces inflammation, promotes cell proliferation, protein synthesis, and regenerating the extracellular matrix for tissue strength.

Marine collagen is small in particle size and lowest molecular weight among all collagen types, which allows it to pass through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream more easily to provide better healing, repair, and nourishment. An important benefit is that it provides 8 out of 9 essential amino acids, including substantial amounts of glycine and proline which perform important functions throughout the body.

Halloween can be a stressful time for pets. Here are some tips to keep your pet safe: 1) Ask your veterinarian if he or she will prescribe a gentle DR. MANJU ARORA sedative for your pet or recommend a calming supplement or collar.

2) Create a safe room for your dog to avoid fear and escape when the door is opened for trick-or-treaters.

3) Take your dog for a long leash walk early in the day.

Keep cats indoors and in a secure part of the home.

4) Keep lit pumpkins out of reach or use LED lights to keep excited dogs and curious cats from getting hurt by an open flame.

5) Keep chocolate and candy safely away from your pets as some ingredients are toxic.

Symphony launches new season House music

The New Westminster Symphony Orchestra is launching its 2018/19 season with a pops concert on Sunday, Nov. 4.

The concert is set for 2 p.m. at Massey Theatre.

It will begin with a rousing rendition of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s triumphant Procession of the Nobles, from the opera-ballet Mlada, before moving into Modest Mussorgsky’s sinister Night on Bald Mountain.

Also featured will be Maurice Ravel’s melancholic Pavane Pour Une Infante Défunte and Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite No. 1.

The concert will include Alexander Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances, from the opera Prince Igor – which, along with other Borodin compositions, became the basis for the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical hit Kismet in 1954.That musical resulted in such pop standards as Stranger in Paradise, This is My Beloved, and Baubles, Bangles and Beads.

Symphony audiences haven’t seen the last of Kismet this season.

Get into the Halloween spirit on Kelly Street Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A Sapperton family is trying to liven up a street that’s normally pretty quiet on Halloween.

Christie Man is inviting community members to attend the second annual Rest In Peace on Kelly Street event onWednesday, Oct. 31 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The free event, taking place in the 500 block of Kelly Street, is a chance for folks to “rest in peace” before heading out to trick or treat, to warm up between homes or to be their “resting place” for the night.

After moving to the 500 block of Kelly Street in the summer of 2016, Man was disappointed to have less than 10 trick-or-treaters come to her new home. She found it depressing to live on a street that was deserted on Halloween – and decided to do something about it.

“Having grown up in a bustling Halloween street, I remember the magic, sense of community and fun it had been just outside my door,” she said in a write-up about the event. “This was just not acceptable.”

In an effort to bring back the crowds that once visited the street on Halloween, Man decided the best way to get them to the area was by providing shelter, warmth, food and drinks.

Everyone is invited to drop by and enjoy coffee or hot chocolate, and pizza supplied by Sapperton’s Pappa Leo’s Pizza, warm up

under heat lamps and gazebos, soak up the Halloween vibe and enjoy giveaways and treats.

NO SHADES OF GREY New West Artists are exploring the power of black and white for their next show.The group is holding a show and sale, Black & White, from Thursday, Oct. 25 to Thursday, Dec. 6 at the Network Hub, on the

second floor at River Market.

The show is free to attend, and you can drop in anytime between noon and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to check it out.

An opening gala is set for Saturday, Nov. 3 from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Network Hub. For more on the group, check out www.newwest artists.com.

ARTS STRATEGY Just a reminder to all artists and everyone who loves the arts that the city is unveiling its new, improved arts strategy at a meeting on Saturday, Oct. 27.

Turn out to the Anvil Centre Theatre to check out the new strategy and to give your input.

There’s an open house from 1 to 2 p.m., followed by a workshop session from 2 to 3 p.m. and an open discussion from 3 to 3:30 p.m.

Organizers are asking people to register ahead, if possible, just to get an idea of numbers, but you’re welcome to show up regardless.

See www.newwestcity.ca/ artstrat for all the details.

ARTSTARTS IS BACK If you’re looking for some family-friendly entertainment, don’t forget about the ArtStarts series at River Market.

The monthly free performance series returns on Sunday, Oct. 28 with Robin and the Timeless Forest, a production by Runaway Moon Theatre.

The production promises to be intriguing – the theatre company’s website notes the shows combine different sizes of puppets with live actors on the same stage.

“The line between ‘real’ and imaginary is easily blurred when person and puppet interact, and with the addition of the simple magic that brings an in-

animate object to life, our offerings remind the audience that the possibilities for transformation are all around us,” the website says.

Want to check it out? It’s on twice, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., and performances are free.

Just drop in early to stake out your space, as the 45-minute performances are often popular.

Check out www.river market.ca or www.artstarts. com/events for the details.

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

When I was growing up, conversations around cannabis didn’t exist – especially when kids were present.

Beyond the “marijuana is a drug, never try it!” words of warning, the topic was taboo.

With the recent legalization of cannabis in our country, parents are now worried about how to address the topic of weed with their wee ones, and headlines such as “B.C. child in the hospital after eating cannabis-infused gummy bears” aren’t making matters any easier.

As a result, some parents seem to be in a state of panic, worried that the legalization of (and any mention of) marijuana will cause their children to become curious about cannabis and expose them to the risks that can occur should they accidentally ingest the potent plant or breathe in its fumes.

Others hope to shield their kids by skirting the issue, affirming that they will try to avoid the topic entirely in hopes of keeping their kids safe.

While the questions that arise around discussing cannabis with kids bring up some legitimate concerns, it’s the lack of knowledge

that she now needs to ask adults when she’s over at someone’s house before she eats anything like that. Just like Halloween, if it’s not in a wrapper, it’s off limits, unless cleared by an adult you trust.”

And now that it’s legal, some cannabis-infused edibles are being packaged in fancy wrappers, too, so for children, nothing is safe to consume without getting approval from an adult.

Protecting our kids is a primary focus for parents, but keeping them in the dark about drugs – especially those that are now legal, will do more harm than good.We need to make our kids aware of the risks that can occur, and parents need to do their research.

In response to a comment that discussing cannabis with kids can be a scary conversation, Jenn Honey responds, “Legalization opens the door to discussion that people couldn’t have before, in fear of judgment and even prosecution. It’s precisely the reason that I am in favour,” and I wholeheartedly agree.

and understanding that is creating a state of fear in panicked parents and sparking curiosity in children.

Signs are already beginning to pop up with messages such as “Don’t drive high,” advertising campaigns are going to crop up in mainstream media, and fumes are going to fill the air – and all of these things are going to spark questions.

Questions that we, as parents, should be prepared to answer honestly.

Instead of silencing ourselves, we should be using the new legalization as a launch point for discussion.

One Vancouver mom, Jenn Honey, decided to discuss cannabis with her young daughter on the day pot became legal in Canada – a day which coincidentally coincided with her daughter’s seventh birthday.

In a Facebook post, the mom shares with her family and friends, “I wanted to get ahead of this one, so we talked. (My daughter) knows that cannabis is a drug for adults to use. I told her some adults might have cannabis in the house now that is out and around for her to see and touch, but she has to leave it alone like any medicine, or cleaning products, or alcohol.We also talked about how some adults might use cannabis to make other treats like candy or chocolates, and

CITY IMPROVEMENT Local home improvement stores helped Lowe’s Can-

ada raise $1.1 million for some good causes.

Across Canada, the Lowe’s Canada Heroes campaign raised $1.1 million in September, when every Lowe’s, RONA and Reno-depot corporate store in Canada collected donations to help local non-profit organizations or public schools. Lowe’s Canada matched 50 per cent of all funds raised through instore campaigns, up to a maximum of $2,000 per store.

In New Westminster, the RONA store in Columbia Square will donate $1,000 to the Royal Canadian Legion, while the Lowe’s store in Queensborough will donate $5,692 to the New Westminster-based Honour House Society.

“We are grateful that our employees and customers across the country came together again this year to help people love where they live,” said Jean-Sebastien Lamoureux, senior vice-president of communications, public affairs and compliance at Lowe’s Canada. “With all our corpo-

rate stores participating for the first time, our Heroes campaign extended its support to even more community organizations and projects that our employees feel strongly about. Many thanks to everyone who made this year’s campaign an even bigger success.”

Halloween is just around the corner and, as you get older, it is always fun to think back to younger days and what you did to celebrate this colourful day.

Not long ago, a few of us were reminiscing about trick or treating, fireworks, costumes and decorations.

How many of you have memories connected to some of the following?

While stores today have hundreds of ready-made costumes, many folks can think back to planning how they would dress up, what was needed to create the piece, putting it all together and then going out door-todoor to surprise neighbours, show off their creativity, and gather treats. For others a highlight of Halloween was preparing decorations.

We have been able to collect stories from Halloweens of long ago, of neighbourhood houses that went far beyond others in their decorations. Many people re-

member foggy Halloweens of the 1960s when the fog made it seem that trick or treaters were looming out of a mist.

Certain Sapperton oldtimers from the 1920s or 30s had great memories of houses like the Buchanans, with its decorated front porch and entrance filled with scary creatures, fake cobwebs, spooky sounds, and characters that moved about.These same folks remembered going to farms on Cumberland Street and Cariboo Road to get excellent pumpkins and wheeling them home in a wagon.

Finding really good descriptions of Halloween events in early New Westminster is not always the easiest thing to do, but a look back through the files reminded us of some examples. In 1905 the Trapp home on Agnes Street was the scene of a large exciting party for two of the Trapp children and about 100 of their friends. It was reported that the children stayed at the fun gathering until quite

late at night in what was noted to be a “very merry party.”

Back in those earlier days, Columbian College on First Street was known for its Halloween specials with one particular year being described as an “old-time masquerade.”The buildings with their long hallways, dark corners and subdued lighting were apparently decorated to spooky, creepy, exciting effect that was a scary treat for all the costumed participants.

One Halloween item from an evening of “games and seasonal pranks” held at the Gilley house on St George Street at Fourth Street in the early 1900s was linked to what was obviously a tasty treat for this particular day.The report of this event noted “the timehonoured pumpkin pie and doughnuts were conspicuous on the menu card.”

The pie we know, but what’s with Halloween doughnuts?

Hmmm … not a bad idea.

Hyacks get back to basics

Defending B.C. champs to celebrate graduating seniors Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

It was back to basics at practice.

The New West Hyacks aim to make it carry over indefinitely, too.

With their one bye week behind them, and on the heels of their first two losses of the B.C. High School AAA football season still stinging, New West is looking at getting back to what’s worked.

Friday’s Senior’s Night (7:30 p.m. at Mercer Stadium), where they will square off against the Seaquam Seahawks, is the perfect opportunity to show that their work and dedication has paid off.

“After our last game we did some soul searching,” remarked Hyacks coach Farhan Lalji. “It was important for us, from the players’ perspective, to do somethings differently. ...You get lulled into a sense of security when you’re winning sometimes, but our tackling had deteriorated, so we addressed that.”

At the players’ urging, the team ramped it up in practice and got physical, going over the routines that helped shape last year’s provincial championship.

Lalji said it was vital that the players themselves requested the change, being totally dissatisfied with the results after the 42-0 loss to Vancouver College on Oct. 12.

“That was our first home loss in four years to a Canadian opponent,” he noted. “They realized that we had to get back to the fundamentals, and as coaches we looked at building their spirits back up.

“They wanted to be more physical (in practice) and practise harder.”

The squad, which remains without starting quarterback and linebacker Kinsale Philip, had experienced a tremendous run that saw them roll unbeaten in 2017 and begin this year with three straight wins.

Having clinched a playoff spot already and able to lock up homefield advantage for the first playoff game with a win over Seaquam, is a good starting point.

“We have to build some momentum and fix what we need to before we get into the playoffs, because you don’t want to enter the playoffs after stubbing your toe,” added Lalji.

Grade 11 pivot Peyton Myers will take the snap and lead the offence in Philip’s absence.

The team’s 19 seniors will be celebrated prior to the 7:30 p.m. start at Mercer Stadium.

Fierce fighter: A year ago, Shasta Trampoline Club’s Tamara O’Brien was at the top of her sport, preparing to compete at the world championships in Bulgaria. A cancer diagnosis put her life in jeopardy and on a new uncertain path. PHOTO MARIO BARTEL/TRICITY NEWS

O’Brien bravely fights toughest battle The Shasta gymnast embraces small victories while facing Stage 4 cancer diagnosis Mario Bartel

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Tamara O’Brien stood at the top of her sport.

Just when she should be enjoying the fruits of her international labours, the Shasta Trampoline Club gymnast found herself in the fight for her life.

Just 15 months ago, O’Brien, 21, had won a silver medal in the women’s double mini-trampoline at the World Games in Poland.

Her next goal was to compete for Canada at the 2017 world championships in Sofia, Bulgaria.

But as O’Brien relaxed in her Coquitlam home one evening, her hand brushed a hard, little growth under her chin.

Perhaps it had always been there? Maybe it was just an inflammation and it would go away on its own?

Having had a cancerous mole removed a year earlier had her take such abnormalities seriously.

After returning home from a competition in Spain, O’Brien got a call from her dermatologist, asking her to come to his office, and to bring someone along.The lump was cancerous. It was Oct. 13 – a Friday, no less.

“I had a gut feeling,” she said, “but I thought it was over.”

O’Brien’s initial concern, though, was whether to have surgery right away, or postpone it until after the worlds in Bulgaria. She was still training, she felt great, she was in the best physical condition of her life.

But an opportunity to have the operation quickly changed O’Brien’s decision. She begged off the national team for “medical reasons.”

“I didn’t want people at the worlds to talk,” O Brien said.

The doctors removed 23 lymph nodes from her neck. Four of them showed Stage 3 melanoma.

O’Brien, whose face was left partially paralyzed by the surgery, put her training on hold and wrote an anguished post on her Facebook page.

“Gymnastics was kind of irrelevant,” O’Brien said. “I knew this was much bigger than anything else I would go through.”

The weeks and months that followed were a cascade of doctors’ appointments, tough decisions and more bad news.

A biopsy of a new bump she noticed in December indicated more cancer and another op-

eration last January and again in March as doctors chased down new tumours.

“When people think of cancer, they think of it in black and white – you get diagnosed, you get treatment and you get better,” O’Brien said. “But it’s more complicated than that.”

And it was about to get even more so. A CT scan last spring showed the cancer in her groin, liver, ribs and spine. O’Brien’s diagnosis was now Stage 4.

“That was the first time it got real,” she said. “I don’t know how I got through that day.”

The new diagnosis tossed everything in the air and put all plans on hold.

It also meant O’Brien would require chemotherapy treatment and all the potential side effects that come with it.

Injections of a drug cocktail went well but a fourth dose sent O’Brien to the hospital twice with high fevers.Then another CT scan showed further progression of the disease.

A sore back was revealed to be a tumour in her spine, invading her vertebrae.Treatments became even more intense.

“I really had to ask: is this work-

ing?” said O’Brien, who had to quit two jobs she used to support herself. “It was very surreal.”

A treatment meant to target her tumours with very specific oral drugs was put on hold due to side effects.That’s where O’Brien is today, awaiting a new plan of attack and reflecting on what she’s endured the past year.

“You get a cancer diagnosis and then you think, what will happen to my life?” she said. “I know with Stage 4 it usually ends one way.”

Although every day is framed around that battle, O’Brien is embracing the small victories. She stays connected with her gymnastics community as a volunteer coach at Shasta.

“It’s cool to be back in the community where I can feel useful,” she said. “I have all this knowledge I feel is useless if I don’t get to go in the gym.”

She’s also taking classes at Douglas College with an eye to earning her degree in social work.

“It’s hard to fall on the side of feeling helpless,” she said. “I went from being on top of the world to fighting for my life.

“I always used to be the trampolinist and now I’m the girl with cancer.”

It followed a similar result two weeks ago, where the Royals blanked Capilano 3-0, on tallies from St. Thomas More alumna Mikaela Montagano, Sneha Sandhu and co-captain Sam

Already gifted a golden ticket – as hosts of the Canadian national championships – the Douglas College Royals women’s soccer team now faces its final rehearsal.

After posting a middling 5-4-3 record, the defending PacWest champions enter this week’s provincials with a few items on their checklist.

Staying healthy is high on that list.

Douglas secured the second seed entering the threeteam tournament, which kicks off Friday at Burnaby Lake West complex with the semifinal against the host club, but have that motivation of a defending champ.

Going in as an underdog is added incentive.

With the regular season behind them and a national berth guaranteed, Royals head coach Chris Laxton says the goal this weekend is to lay the foundation for Nov. 7 to 10 at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park.

“I’d like to see the team play a complete, composed game, and hopefully be in the (provincial) final,” said Laxton, who over saw the Royals run to the nationals last year. “We want to win it and defend our title, but we don’t have that extra pressure of needing it to advance.”

The Royals finished the

us, to give everyone some good playing time,” he said.

“We’ve rotated players into the starting lineup and that should pay dividends not only in the coming weeks, but next year as well.”

Captains Taylor Wettig, at midfield, and Kell, at a variety of positions, have set a solid tone heading into the playoff season, the coach added.

“We hope to be in the final and get another PacWest banner. I don’t think we’ve played our best yet.”

Douglas squares off against Capilano on Friday in the semifinal match.

A win will put them in the final Saturday against firstplace Vancouver Island. All games kick off at noon at Burnaby Lake West complex.

THANK YOU!

regular season last weekend with a 2-0 triumph over the Langara Falcons, breaking a first-half stalemate on Mikayla Hamilton’s sixth of the season seven minutes into the second half. Sofia Flores-Aguilera added some insurance in the 69th minute.

For Hamilton, that was her league-leading sixth tally, but first since Oct. 6.

Picking up her second straight shutout was Alexa Gazzola, who was busy in stopping eight shots.The Falcons applied a lot of pressure, especially in the second half as a win was

Douglas men eye provincial repeat

Now, the real challenge starts.

The Douglas College Royals men’s soccer team may be ranked No. 2 in Canada, but to live up to that billing, and have a chance at improving on last year’s national silver medal, they need to produce this weekend.

The PacWest provincial championships take to the Burnaby Lake pitch this weekend, and the Royals enter as the second seed,

Kell.

After a blip of inconsistency during September, which saw them post a sub500 record, the team has strung together a better, more consistent effort. Giving everyone some starts, to help ease the physical strain and lessen injury opportunities, is hopefully going to pay off, said Laxton.

“That’s been big for

needing to beat Langara on Friday (noon) to advance to Saturday’s 2:30 p.m. final against regular season champion Capilano.

Douglas enter the playoffs fresh off an 8-0 lambasting of Langara last week, led by Burnaby’s Tomi Fagbongbe’s hat trick.The sophomore forward scored just two minutes into the game to start the onslaught.

Race Willams also scored twice in the win.

Juniors top Mission

Andros Dancey threw three touchdown passes to spearhead the New West junior Hyacks’ 34-20 win over Mission in B.C. junior varsity football.

Dancey connected on passes to Aidan Sattler (29 yards), DeakonYoung (26) and Gagan Mandair (46), while Jayden Kastelein scored on a 24-yard run and Balraj Munjal returned a fumble 50 yards for a major.
