Q to Q ferry hours now earlier than ever Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Early morning ferry goers don’t have to make reservations to ride the Q to Q – and they’ll be able to board the ferry earlier than ever before.

When city council recently approved an extension of the Q to Q ferry service between the Quayside and Queensborough neighbourhoods until next May, officials said reservations might be considered for early-morning rides because of cost implications.

“No reservations.We looked at it again, looked at the schedule, and found other areas where we could adjust the hours to adjust the required budget to get us through the pilot extension period,” said Lisa Leblanc, the city’s transportation manager. “It means that we will be starting later in the morning on the weekends, we will be starting earlier in the morning on the weekdays and we will be ending earlier in the evening on the weekdays.We just shifted the hours around.”

Starting this week, the ferry service will run: Monday to Thursday – 6 to 9 a.m., and noon to 7 p.m.; Friday – 6 to 9 a.m., and noon to 8 p.m.; and weekends and statutory holidays – 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.The Q to Q ferry will depart from each dock approximately every 20 minutes.

The pilot ferry service, which has been running between Queensborough and the Quay since May 19, was set to end on Oct. 28. Some citizens told council they would like to use the service but couldn’t do so because the first ferry departed Queensborough after 7 a.m.

“They told us if it started earlier they would be much

Prior to the Oct. 20 election, council received a staff report containing a proposed schedule of regular

It’s only Day 1.We are still catching up to get all our signage updated.We will get there. People will learn, and we will see how it goes.”

Bowen Land and Sea Taxi, which will continue to operate the service until May 17, will deploy a 12-passenger water taxi capable of carrying two wheelchairs and four bicycles per trip.

Leblanc said the city is thankful to all the community members who have taken the time to comment on the ferry service.

“We received a lot of really great, really constructive comments.The first (message) is thank you.The second is, let’s give it a go,” she said. “This is a great opportunity to see how this type of service can serve peo-

ple in the less-than-ideal months as well. Let’s use this as an opportunity to learn about how well it works in the dark and in the rain.What does it require for people to commit to this and to really embrace it as a reasonable option for

commuting from Queensborough, in particular? I encourage everybody to take this in the spirit of a pilot project and to continue to share the feedback, and we will continue to listen to them and do what we can to adjust to see what we can do to make this work for everybody.”

The city encourages community members to fill out

a short online survey, which is available until Nov. 9 at www.newwestcity.ca/ qtoqferry.

“Now that we are in the less-than-ideal conditions, we wanted to hear from people about how it is working and what are the things that are on their mind now that it’s less-than-ideal conditions, because that helps us to figure out the hard part of the service,” Leblanc said.

“We are also working with TransLink to understand what this service does that complements the regular transit service.We are interested in knowing if this is something that TransLink would be interested in working with us on.”

Leblanc said the city is also actively working on seeking sponsorship from private donors as well, to help fund a long-term service.

“Council has directed us to develop a business case for a long-term ser-

vice so we are actively working on that,” Leblanc said.

“What would it cost? What would be involved in getting this established as a longer term service? What would the commitments be? What would the other implications be to having this considered for a permanent service?”

According to Leblanc, more than 50,000 passenger trips were completed on the Q to Q ferry between May and October.

In addition to buying tickets onboard using exact change, people can purchase individual tickets or monthly passes at the Queensborough Community Centre, New Westminster City Hall, Centennial Community Centre and several vendors in River Market.

Individual tickets are $2 for full fare and $1 for concession, and monthly passes are $40 for full fare and $20 for concession. Children aged five and under ride for free.

New council to have fewer meetings in 2019 Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

TRANSPORTATION

council meetings in 2019 and debated whether it should schedule more meetings from the get-go or add them if more meetings are needed.

All totalled, council will have 20 regular council meetings and eight public hearings in 2019. Council will have regular meetings twice a month for most months, but only one meeting is scheduled for March, July, August and December.

“There is actually fewer meetings than we had this

year,” said Coun. Patrick Johnstone. “A couple times this year we got into a situation where we had really challenging agendas.We had these 35-item agendas that didn’t really give us a great opportunity to have really fulsome discussion on some of the topics where we could have had more fulsome discussions on if we weren’t buried in a very long list of topics on the same night.”

While it’s very “resource intensive” for staff to plan and attend council meet-

ings, Johnstone questioned if more meetings should be scheduled – particularly afternoon workshops where council has had a chance to dig into bigger topics like cannabis regulations and the Queen’s Park heritage conservation area.

Coun. Mary Trentadue agreed there were meetings this year that were jampacked because there were 35-plus items on an agenda and said it would be worthwhile to have a more fulsome discussion about the

schedule.Trentadue, however, expressed concern that every time council meets, whether it’s through council, task force or committee meetings, it always generates more work for staff.

“I am open to it, but I would like to get more feedback from staff as to how the scheduling of these meetings impacts the work and how all the other meetings that go on also impact the work because I think they are all related,” she said.

A two-day vehicle inspection blitz in New Westminster has netted more than $19,000 in fines and $12,800 in bylaw tickets.

The police department’s commercial vehicle enforcement and traffic units led the vehicle inspection operation between Oct. 2 and 4 in partnership with the provincial commercial vehicle safety and enforcement branch.

The goal was to make sure business vehicles travelling through the city are properly maintained and safe, according to a police press release.

In all, 314 vehicles were inspected, and more than half had deficiencies that had to be repaired right away. Only 23 vehicles passed inspection without any issues, while 122 required minor repairs. A total of 62 tickets were issued during the three-day enforcement blitz, according to the release.

Vehicles that were inspected included: cargo vans, pickup trucks, small delivery vehicles and trades vehicles, among other larger commercial vehicles.

“The New Westminster Police Department is one of the very few police departments that maintain a dedicated team of commercial vehicle inspectors,” said Sgt. Jeff Scott, in the release.

“Officers observed a number of different issues, ranging from minor things that could be repaired on site, to major issues which required the vehicle to be towed.

This type of initiative is one of the many different ways that we ensure road safety.”

Officers focused on a number of mechanical components and driver qualifications including brakes, tires, lights, steering, load security, driver licensing and driver fatigue. Inspections included a quick visual check plus a look into the carrier’s history, noted the release.

Community Group buys veteran a gravestone Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A New Westminsterbased group that raised money to buy a gravestone for a forgotten First World War veteran is inviting the community to the unveiling this weekend.

Last November, the Society of the Officers of the Honourable Guard ran an online fundraiser to raise money for a gravestone for William Stevenson, a First World War veteran who died 79 years ago.

After only a few days, the group had raised more than $4,500, more than four times the amount needed to buy Stevenson’s stone, according to Rob Rathbun, a member of the Society of the Officers of the Honourable Guard.

This Saturday, Nov. 3, the group will unveil Stevenson’s gravestone in a small ceremony, and it’s inviting the community to attend.

“I think it really struck

a nerve,” Rathbun said.

“This year we marked the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, and how does it feel to have somebody who served in the First World War and for 79 years their grave wasn’t even marked?

“Essentially it’s undoing a wrong.”

Stevenson was originally from Manitoba and fought in the First World War. After the war, he moved to New Westminster to a home at 315 East Columbia St. (His home would have been right across from the Royal Columbian Hospital at Hospital Street.)

He died of a stroke on April 14, 1939.

Because Stevenson had no family in the area and wasn’t married, according to his death records, there was no one around to pay for a headstone.

The Honourable Guard Society came up with the idea to buy Stevenson a stone thanks to some curi-

ous kids. Since 2013, the society has been taking school kids on trips to Fraser Cemetery to teach them about the wars.The kids often ask about the unmarked graves, not understanding why the men wouldn’t have headstones, according to Rathbun.

Now that they’ve secured the funds for Stevenson’s gravestone, the society has decided to team up with the Last Post Fund to buy more stones for other veterans buried at Fraser Cemetery in unmarked graves.

“There’s at least, a minimum of 15 of them,” Rathbun said.

Rathbun couldn’t say when these stones will be purchased or when the unveilings will take place.

“We don’t want to do a large number at once, because it doesn’t give due credit to the individual. So what we’re going to do is we’re going to do them in threes,” he said.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Vehicle blitz highlights a lack of effort on safety Trucks.What can we do about them?

We’re not talking about little pickup trucks.We’re talking about those huge ones that – despite serving a valuable purpose – manage to be the bane of our driving existence.

Trucks rumble through our communities, slowing down traffic and often stopping in the middle of intersections with their large rear-ends sticking out during rush-hour, stop-and-go traffic.

Then there is the safe-

ty issue.

It’s clear that a large number of commercial truck drivers and companies are not taking good enough care of their vehicles, and that’s unacceptable.

For reference, we turn to a recent two-day vehicle inspection blitz in NewWestminster that netted more than $19,000 in fines and $12,800 in bylaw tickets.

The police department’s commercial vehicle enforcement and traffic units led the vehicle inspection operation between Oct. 2 and 4 in

So out of 314 vehicles that were inspected, only 23

managed to pass.

That seems like a small number. Is that a small number? Yeah, it’s a small number.

Governments of all levels need to start pouring some more resources into ensuring these vehicles are up to safety standards.We need more inspections. More enforcement.Tougher penalties.Tickets shouldn’t just be a cost of doing business.

Seize the vehicles. Make it hurt to ignore safety standards by cheaping out on repairs.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Sorting through prop rep rhetoric The ballots for the referendum on electoral reform are just arriving at B.C. homes and already I’m getting tired of the rhetoric and exaggerations.

The advocates of switching to a proportional representation model tend to argue their view of the world will lead to a utopian paradise where nothing goes wrong and everyone gets along just swell.

And those who favour the current first-past-the-post system darkly suggest any PR system will put extremists right dangerously close to power.The truth is there are pros and cons for both systems.

For example, it is true that FPTP tends to lead to a two- or three-party system, where a ruling party rarely gets a majority of the total popular vote. However, one party’s candidate often gets a majority of votes in the riding they are elected in (in the 2017 election, 48 MLAs received a majority win).

For some folks, this kind of result is just fine and leads, for the most part, to good government (which it has, many times in this province). However, others feel this is simply not democratic – that a total majority should rule, and that anything less is anti-democratic and leads to voter cynicism.

Critics who point to rightwing populists like Ontario Doug Ford being in power due to a FPTP system conveniently forget that a whole bunch of NDP premiers – Dave Barrett, Mike Harcourt, Glen Clark, John Horgan, Allan Blakeney, Ed

Schreyer etc. – benefited from the exact same system.

One of the presumed attractions of moving to a PR system is the argument that it will increase voter turnout, particularly among young people. I suspect that would be the case – more parties would have a chance of being elected, and younger voters turned off by a two-party system may find a PR model more accessible for them.

And it is clear a PR model would more closely reflect the general popular vote when it comes to determining the makeup of legislature seats. A PR model would also allow some MLAs to be appointed by the party rather than being directly elected by the people. Some folks think this is a travesty because it reeks of backroom wheeling and dealing, while others don’t see much of a problem because the number of MLAs would still be based on the popular vote.

Now, a PR system will not cure all of our social or economic ills, and it may in fact worsen them. But it is just as likely to out-perform anything resulting from a FPTP outcome.

As for so-called “extremist” parties emerging, I think there’s a good chance a social conservative party could garner seats under PR and may hold the balance of power under some scenarios.

Neither system is flawless or ideal. But do some reading up, and cast your ballot.

Thieves hide in couple’s shower A Burnaby couple got a rude awakening in December when two car thieves tried to evade New Westminster police by hiding in their shower and a bedroom. It all started with a stolen pickup in New West at about 2:30 a.m. Police were investigating a burglar alarm at an underground parking lot where thieves had run a stolen truck through the gate.They then spotted the stolen vehicle when it ran into a parked car.The culprits took off at high speed toward Burnaby but didn’t make the turn on 10th Avenue and smashed into a parked car, pushing it through the wall of a Burnaby house.They crawled under the parked car and into the house, trying to hide, but were nabbed.

Letters INBOX

Check back in four years Editor: Congratulations to Team Cote. There will be many debates as to how and why Team Cote were able to win this election, but this letter is not about the minutiae of such a victory.

Winners should be congratulated in all races, and so here is mine. I ask the citizens of New Westminster to keep this letter and refer back to it four years from now and ask yourself these questions: Did they produce a competition-capable Canada Games Pool for competitive swimmers while serving the community at large with the assistance of federal funding?

As Coun. Chuck Puchmayr stated in his open letter that “Queensborough is next line for needed infrastructure funding” (sic) – make sure to tally up what you actually received.

Will the burden of traffic passing through New Westminster neighbourhoods be relieved or did it get worse?

There are winners and losers in every argument before council – just ask yourself if you felt listened to, and was the process open and transparent? Make your own list to see if improvements were really made as promised. If not, get out and vote next time, or you have no right to complain.

Paul McNamara, New West Progressives city council candidate

Vote ‘yes’ in referendum Editor: This week, New Westminster residents

will begin receiving their ballots for the B.C. referendum on proportional representation. Lots of people in the community have asked me for my thoughts and I am happy to share them. I have been a strong advocate for changing our voting system for many years, long before I was elected.

I really believe that our present voting system is unfair. It means that a party that gets 40 per cent of the vote can get 100 per cent of the power. That means the party in power can ignore the views – not just of other parties – but of the majority of voters in B.C. who didn’t vote for them. It leads to more divisiveness, more partisanship, and an attitude of “It’s my way or the highway.” I can recall many times in opposition when I put forward proposals that were shut down by the former B.C. government, simply because the ideas didn’t come from their side.

ProRep encourages parties to work together for the common good. It leads to healthier debate, sharing of ideas and better decision-making. It means more cooperation and less confrontation – which people in New Westminster have told me they would really like to see!

Our present voting system, referred to as firstpast-the-post, also results in many people feeling that their vote doesn’t count, that their needs fall on deaf ears. Too often people feel they have to vote against a party, rather than voting for a party or a candidate they believe in. That leads to even greater cynicism about politics and a low voter turnout – especially amongst young people.

We have an historic opportunity to make our democracy stronger by making every vote count.

That’s why I’m voting to support prop rep.

Judy Darcy, MLA for New Westminster

City Tales from Ovid onstage in city Douglas College is taking a walk back 2,000 years for its new fall production.

Tales from Ovid is onstage Nov. 2 through 9 at Douglas College’s New Westminster campus.

The production is a retelling of the Roman poet’s stories by English poet Ted Hughes, adapted for the stage by Tim Supple and Simon Reade. Students will perform nine stories: Tiresias, Echo and Narcissus, Semele, Bacchus and Pentheus, Arachne, Myrrha, Midas, Salmacis and Hermaphroditus, and Phaethon.

In Tiresias, the blind oracle is punished by the goddess Juno and turned into a woman for seven years, resulting in a unique character who stands between man and woman, human and gold, present and future, the seen and unseen. Echo and Narcissus and Salmacis and Hermaphroditus take unrequited love and obsession to the extreme. Semele and Bacchus and Pentheus are both lessons in trust and faithfulness. Arachne and Phaethon warn of the dangers of pride, while Midas

warns against greed and Myrrha against lust.

“They’re magical stories that we have told and retold for thousands of years, so audience members will find many of the plots and lessons familiar,” said director Kathleen Duborg in a press release.

They’re magical stories that we have told and retold for thousands of years …

She noted that the stories are ones of transformation – both literal, such as humans turning into animals, and figurative, such as in one passion becoming another. Many tackle complex emotional landscapes and difficult topics that require a certain amount of empathy and open-mindedness to understand, Duborg said.

“The actors are encour-

aged to strengthen their empathetic gaze and more confidently assert their voice as storytellers and people,” she said. “Being able to speak directly to an audience in such an engaging way – it’s an important acting skill that forces them to be really mindful and present.”

Duborg said Tales from Ovid promises a unique experience for theatregoers.

“We have created a very intimate set-up between actors and audience, one that forces the audience to pay attention and absorb the stories. At the same time, the dramatic shifts of the actors from first person, to third person, to choral narrator – and the beauty of the language – will draw view-

ers in.”

The cast includes students Hailey Connor, Aidan Currie, Roisin D’Mello, Khyla Granstrom, Jaime Kerr, Aysia Ledoux, Ally Ray, Juan Somma and Douglas alum Dayna Hoffman.

The production is presented by the department of theatre, along with the department of stagecraft and event technology.

Tales from Ovid is onstage at the Studio Theatre at the New West campus, 700 Royal Ave.Tickets are $20 general admission, and $10 for students, seniors and Talkback Tuesdays. For tickets and show times, see talesfromovid.bpt.me.

“This needs a fulsome discussion at committee, and I don’t really want to commit the new board to a direction on this.This is an item that really needs careful consideration, discussion and response,” he said.

Fellow trustees agreed, and also instructed staff to respond to the letter on behalf of the board.

Alphonse told the Record he had yet to hear back from the school district about his request, adding he’d be disappointed if the district did not approve his name-change request.

“We think it would be a huge step forward to do that and acknowledge our history and what we had to face,” he said.

“I hope it all works out.”

Continued from page 1 “It is up to the school district now as to what the school should be named.

When it was discussed in my presence, I believe it was decided to keep the school with the same name.

If that has changed, I am unaware of it.”

Alphonse sent a letter outlining his request to the school district, and at Tuesday night’s school board meeting, trustees discussed the letter. Most agreed it wasn’t something they could deal with in their final meeting (the new board will be sworn in next week), but to get the process started, trustee Casey Cook put forward a motion to refer the chief’s letter to the next committee meeting.

production has drawn back some familiar names from past shows, including Stefanie Stanley as Mother, but also has a host of new performers.

Cuff loves the fact that he’s hearing from other cast members that they’ve returned to the stage for the first time in a decade or more to be part of this outing. He notes Align has developed a reputation for the environment it creates for the cast.

“They really seek to create that sort of equal, warm, welcoming environment for theatre performers,” Cuff says.

Moreover, Cuff says, there’s something particularly special about acting in a musical where half the cast members are under 15 years old.

“These kids are electric.

These kids dance, these kids sing, these kids act,” he says.

And what’s more, he adds, they really understand the comedy that’s at the heart of the show. “Comedy requires timing – these kids have that in spades.”

He notes the show itself is extremely complex, with large set pieces and quick changes – a moment where a house has to disappear and a school appear in an instant; another where kids have to go from classroom to cocktail party in the blink of an eye.

“They make it happen, and they take it with grace and ease,” he says. “It’s remarkable to watch these professionals of the future kind of blossom.”

Though Cuff has had periods of his life where he worked solely as a performer, he no longer does – in his other life, he owns and runs a chain of hair salons and barber shops.

That’s a choice he and his wife made about a decade ago, when he found his life meant he was flying across the country for shows in Charlottetown, Edmonton and Winnipeg.

“I was somewhat nomadic, then all of a sudden I was married and I had a condo and a cat, and my wife’s career was very firmly fixed in Vancouver, being part of the film world,” Cuff explains.

Finding a job as a receptionist at a hair salon that was willing to give him time off for shows was his in to the world of hair; he worked his way up to apprentice, then manager, then to opening his own shops.

Add in a young daughter, who’s now two years old, and his need to balance his time is all the more pressing.

“I’m 50 per cent an actor, 50 per cent a barber, and 50 per cent a dad,” Cuff says.

“It’s 150 per cent of life.”

For the lead-up to the show and its run – he’s needed at the theatre for nine days in a row right now – Cuff’s mother has flown in from Saskatchewan to look after his daughter, and a couple of aunts and uncle in the Lower Mainland have been “instrumental and glorious” on the child-care front in freeing him up for the show.

Now Cuff is hoping good crowds will turn out to enjoy what’s destined to be an entertaining night at the theatre.

“What’s awesome about this show is the pop culture cult classic movie gets you in the door, but good musical theatre writing keeps you there,” he says. “This is a Broadway show just like any Broadway show, in that it has tap dancing, it’s got raucous numbers with tap lines, it’s got sweet, honest, tear-jerking performances, it’s got comedy, it’s got tension. It’s got all the makings of a great show.”

Hundreds of poppies will be placed on military gravestones to ensure soldiers are not forgotten.

The second annual No Stone Left Alone poppy ceremony will take place in the military section of Fraser Cemetery on Monday, Nov. 5.

More than 100 Grade 3 to 5 students from Richard McBride Elementary School will join the Royal Canadian Army Cadets RCAA 2316, St. John Ambulance cadets, Miss New Westminster and the Hyack Festival ambassadors, Canadian Armed Forces members from The Royal Westminster Regiment, representatives from the Royal Canadian Legion, Rotary Club, Hyack Festival Association and members of the public to place more than 450 poppies on military gravestones in recognition

of the sacrifices that fallen soldiers and veterans have made serving Canada.

“Last year’s inaugural No Stone Left Alone poppy ceremony in New Westminster received overwhelmingly positive responses from attendees,” said Col. Karen Baker-MacGrotty, honorary colonel of The Royal

“This year, we are expanding. I am delighted to announce the participation of four classes from our first school in New Westminster, Richard McBride Elementary.”

According to Baker-MacGrotty, students will later

write a note of reflection or draw a picture to capture their feelings and learnings.

“This authentic, powerful educational experience creates knowledge, understanding and appreciation of those who serve, and the sacrifice of our Canada’s military,” she said in a press release. “It helps the next generation understand the importance of remembrance.”

Community members are invited to attend the event, which takes place at 11 a.m. in the military section of Fraser Cemetery, 100 Richmond St. Following the poppy ceremony, hot chocolate and hot apple cider will be served.

“A traditional memorial service to honour our fallen has been held on Remembrance Day in the Armoury annually for the past century. Our No Stone Left Alone initiative is different as it takes place during the week prior, with an outdoor

act of remembrance at the graves of our fallen and military veterans,” said BakerMacGrotty.

“I encourage everyone to attend both the poppy-laying ceremony on Monday, Nov. 5 in Fraser Cemetery and the annual service on Nov. 11 in the Armoury. It

is important to pay tribute to the men and women who have so valiantly served in times of war, military conflict and peace, many of whom have paid the ultimate sacrifice.Their dedication and personal sacrifices allow us to live in peace and freedom in Canada today.

Lest we forget.”

No Stone Left Alone ceremonies, which take place across Canada every November, saw more than 8,000 students place more than 50,000 poppies on veterans’ graves at 101 locations in 2017. See www. nostoneleftalone.com.

Community New West Craft Yes, you should make kids do chores hosts fall markets Mommy’s

Lovers of all things handmade have extra chances to enjoy New West Craft markets this season.

Fall markets are back at River Market, 810 Quayside Dr., on Saturday, Nov. 3 and Saturday, Nov. 17. Both markets are set to run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

New West Craft, hosted by the Arts Council of New Westminster, aims to provide a welcoming environment for crafters, artisans and makers to share their work with the community.

Markets happen on the first and third Saturday of every month, with more than 25 artists and makers selling goods.

As an extra seasonal bonus, New West Craft is also bringing back its Winter Night Market event on Saturday, Dec. 1 from 6 to 9:30 p.m.

This year’s event – which includes shopping, music,

food and drinks – is being held at two locations. Shoppers can enjoy the festivities at River Market and then hop the SkyTrain to 100 Braid Street Studios.

At River Market, more than 50 vendors will be on hand, along with live music, food, and beer and wine.

At 100 Braid Street Studios, the studios’ resident artists will be on hand alongside more than 20 selected artisan and craft vendors – including a group of jewelry makers from Workingsilver.You can grab something to eat or drink at one of the food trucks on site, or enjoy a glass of wine or beer from local wineries and breweries.There will also be live music.

Both markets are free and family-friendly. See www. artscouncilnewwest.org or search for New West Craft Winter Night Market on Facebook.

Bianca Bujan

As a parent, there is nothing more frustrating than trying to get my children to do their chores.While assigning the tasks takes little effort, the struggle lies in the follow-through.

Kids will protest and procrastinate until our patience runs out, and for many parents, it just seems easier to give in and do it themselves.

The problem, though, is that when parents intervene too quickly when a child complains, the child learns that they don’t need to help out at home, and an important lesson is lost.

For me, the benefits outweigh the battles when it comes to my children and chores, but to some parents, chores are not meant for children at all.

“Each work represents a specific moment, simplified and combined with David Pacholko’s love of colour; it recaptures a fleeting moment, vista or experience gone by,” a write-up about the show says. “Each canvas takes on an energy and direction of its own with no script, as it comes from a moment remixed.”

The Gallery at Queen’s Park is in Centennial Lodge. It’s open Wednesdays from 1 to 8 p.m. and Thursdays through Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. See www. artscouncilnewwest.org or call 604-525-3244.

I agree that children should focus on learning, but the lessons that are most important for their development are those that happen outside of the classroom walls. Education will get them the jobs they need to support themselves

Kids are never too young to start chipping in financially, but life skills, like learning how to take care of themselves, will help them to live as independent adults.

The mistake that some parents make is thinking that children are too young for chores, or that chores can be cancelled out by sports or homework.

But it’s the ability to bal-

ance both worlds that will be the most valuable lesson learned. Giving your kids even the smallest of tasks to do around the house, and encouraging them to complete those tasks, will teach them how to be competent, caring and considerate individuals, providing them with skills that they can take through their lives.

I believe that if children can use the TV remote or play a game on a device, then they can use the washing machine and sweep the floors. Kids are never too young to start chipping in – there’s a chore fit for every age.

Don’t give into their delay tactics, and remember that while they may not like doing chores now, they’ll enjoy the benefits of learning important life skills later in life.

HAVE YOUR SAY!

Art opening at gallery Art lovers, be sure to save next Wednesday evening on your calendar.

That’s the opening night for the next exhibition at The Gallery at Queen’s Park – Moments Remixed, a mixed media exhibition by David Pacholko.

The opening reception is on Wednesday, Nov. 7 from 6 to 8 p.m., and the exhibition runs until Sunday, Nov. 25. An Inter/action session with the artist is set for Sunday, Nov. 18 at 3 p.m.

The works in the exhibition were inspired, in part, by a recent trip to Mexico and driving across Canada.

A friend recently shared a photo on Instagram of her daughter vacuuming the house, with the caption, “How awesome is it when your 10-year-old can finally tackle one of your most disliked household tasks?” In response, many envious followers replied with comments such as, “This is why we have kids!” and “Can’t wait until my kids can vacuum for me!”

But for one commenter, the post was no laughing matter. “Making a kid do something that you hate is using and exploiting the kid unless the kid wanted to do it.The work of childhood is play and schoolwork/education not the housework.

If they want to help we let them but we do not make/ force them to do our housework.We teach them life skills but we do not make those skills their jobs,” the disgruntled reader quipped.

ASK A DENTURIST

Q A

Why are my dentures loose?

Dentures rely on the support of bone and tissues for stability.

When you lose your natural teeth, bone does not have the support that it needs to maintain its structure, therefore it begins to shrink. If you have been wearing the BRIAN KO same dentures for a long period of time, your bone and soft tissues will have changed from when you first received those dentures. This change will cause the dentures to become loose and may cause discomfort. It is important to have your dentures and your mouth assessed to see if you need either a reline, rebase or even a new denture.

Dentures on average can last up to 5 years before they need to be replaced and up to about 2 years before the dentures need to be assessed for a reline.

ASK A PARKINSON’S SPECIALIST

Q A

My biggest fear with having Parkinson’s is falling, how can I prevent this?

People with Parkinson’s are at high risk of falling due to problems with balance, rigidity, and slowness of movement -- the primary motor symptoms.

ROBYN MURRELL Serious falls can lead to head injuries, broken hips, and other broken bones.

Complications from these injuries may require hospitalization or long-term rehabilitation. Some keys to preventing falls include exercise, good medication management and a safe home environment. The best way to stay independent and prevent falls is through exercise to build strength, flexibility and balance.

IMPACT Parkinson’s is having a Falls Prevention Workshop on Tues, Nov 27th at 2:00-3:15pm and a one-on-one clinic on Fri, Nov 30th from 8am-4:30pm by Fraser Health Falls Prevention Team.

ASK A DENTIST

Q A

What should I do with my kids’ Halloween candy?

It’s the morning after Halloween, and your kids are waking up to bags of candy bars that they brought home! What’s the best way to manage this sticky DR. THERIAULT situation of having a constant flow of sweet treats? From a tooth decay point of view, it’s best to reduce the frequency of consuming sugars. Bacteria that normally live in the mouth feed on sugars and produce acidic by-products. These acids cause tooth decay by breaking down the enamel (outer layer) of teeth. By reducing the number of times and duration carbohydrates enter the mouth, the chances of getting tooth decay are also reduced!

So, your kids can eat candy, but it’s best to have them “in one-sitting” and then brush their teeth to remove the sugars immediately. Many dental offices offer programs for swapping candies for other gifts…talk to your dentist to find out more!

ASK A FITNESS INSTRUCTOR

Q A

How many times should I work out in a week?

Seven!

So you just rolled your eyes, who has the time? First, make your workout effective and efficient to save time.

Two times really is the minimum and LUKE RAMNATH that might maintain your current level at best. Three times, you can start to make some progress, be patient with yourself. Four or five times and you can see some real results and in a shorter time frame. Six or seven times with a mixture of cardio, resistance and mobility will help tremendously. I’ve said this before, consistency is key. Be realistic with where you’re at right now, too much training can lead to injuries, too much sitting can lead to far worse. The trainers at Dynamic can help you get on the best track and with summer just around the corner, now’s a great time to start.

I have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. What is it and what can I do?

Common symptoms STEVEN MCGEE of carpal tunnel syndrome include numbness and tingling on the front of the thumb, index, middle, and sometimes the ring finger.

ASK A LAWYER

Q A

What effect does amalgamation have?

As I wrote last month, an amalgamation merges two or more companies. At common law, the assets and liabilities of the amalgamating companies become those of the amalgamated company.

STEPHEN GRAF Therefore, an amalgamation usually does not result in paying capital gains tax, sales taxes, or transfer fees.

However, an amalgamating company might have entered into a lease or other contract prohibiting amalgamation without consent from the other parties. In addition, the articles or shareholder agreement of one or more amalgamating companies might restrict amalgamation. Moreover, an amalgamation causes a financial year end for the amalgamating companies. Therefore, accountants usually ask for amalgamation to occur on a certain date.

This column is legal information, not legal advice. If you or someone you know would like to make a shareholder agreement, please contact me.

Community HYDRANT CUP

WHAT’S HAPPENING? The New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society is once again hosting the Hydrant Cup, a charity hockey game between the New West firefighters’ team and the Vancouver Canucks Alumni. Normally held every two years, the popular event returns for the first time since 2014.

DETAILS: The 2018 Hydrant Cup will take place at Queen’s Park Arena on Saturday, Nov. 3.

The puck drops at 7 p.m., but the charitable society is collaborating with Kelly O’Bryan’s restaurant and hosting a barbecue before the game.

ANYTHING ELSE? The evening, which gets underway with pre-game activities and a barbecue at 5:30 p.m., also includes face

painting, entertainment, a 50-50, prize raffles and a Frisbee toss.

WHY SHOULD PEOPLE COME OUT? “It’s family-friendly. It’s going to be a lot of fun. There is going to be a lot of things to do,” said firefighter Dustin Javens, director of the 2018 Hydrant Cup. “And you are going to be supporting a great cause. All the money that is raised stays within the community for various different charitable reasons.”

Local firefighters belong to the charitable society, which is a non-profit society.

Through the society, New West firefighters donate their off-duty time to raise funds for a variety of endeavours including food programs, bursaries and other community needs.

DO THE FIREFIGHTERS HAVE A CHANCE?

WHAT DOES IT COST? Family passes, which are for two adults and three kids, are $20. You can buy tickets at G&F Financial, Queen’s Park and Moody Park arenas,

Kelly O’Byran’s, and some schools and minor hockey players are also selling tickets.

“It’s a great fundraising opportunity for the kids,” Javens said. “Whatever they sell, they are going to get half back. It’s 50 per cent of the passes. ” Folks who are planning to attend the Hydrant Cup can also pre-purchase tickets for a burger package.

“Kelly O’Bryan’s going to be there barbecuing,” said firefighter Glen Bailey. “They are pre-selling a burger package – a burger, pachos and a drink – for $8. At the door it will be $10.”

YOU’VE GOT SOMETHING SPECIAL HAPPENING AT THIS YEAR’S EVENT – WHAT’S HAPPENING? Members of the New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society have been grieving the loss of Olivia Malcom, daughter of longtime New West firefighter Tony Malcom and wife Bridget, who died in a tragic car accident

on June 2. The Malcom family, including Olivia, have been huge supporters of the charitable society’s fundraisers through the years.

Members of the Malcom family will be attending the game, where the charitable society will honour Olivia.

Bridget will say a few words before the ceremonial puck drop, and community members can share their

thoughts or messages on a memory wall in the lobby.

“The Malcoms are going to do a memory wall for Olivia. They are also going to be selling hoodies with the Olivia Malcom emblem on it. Any money they make off of those hoodies will be donated to the charitable society,” Bailey said. “It’s our way of honouring the Malcoms a little bit more and Olivia’s memory.”

Hyacks end losing skid with big running game

FLAG FUN: A brisk autumn day in New West became a cool day for football, as players for the Royal City Hyacks’ flag football teams Orange and Black took to Mercer Stadium for a game last Saturday. Team Black pulled out all the stops en route to a 32-8 triumph, with touchdowns scored by Ben MacKinnon and brothers Alexander and Demetri Biniaris .

PHOTOS JENNIFER GAUTHIER

That’s more like it.

The New Westminster Hyacks put a two-game losing skid behind them with a lot of flash, dash and thrills en route to a 42-29 victory over the Seaquam Seahawks last Friday.

The win also clinched home field advantage for the opening round of the playoffs, which begin Nov. 9.

From their first possession, the Hyacks looked more like a team that had registered 13 straight victories, including the 2017 Subway Bowl B.C. title, than a squad that was outscored 80-35 during the losing streak.

With running back Broxx Comia setting the table – the Grade 12 rusher accounted for 146 yards on the ground on just five carries, including two majors.

The first carry, an 83-yard dart down field into the end zone, put New West in the driver’s seat. He also scored on a 58yard run.

Quarterback Payton Myers displayed his skill with both his legs and arm, dashing 58 yards for the team’s third touchdown, then hit Ajay Chol on a seven-yard pass to make it 28-8, after Seaquam had put up its first TD. The Hyacks’ Michael Kingsley scored the only TD of the third quarter, upping the lead to 35-15 with a 17-yard run.

Taran Birdi intercepted a Jay Mather pass in the fourth quarter and rambled 68 yards into the end zone to make it 42-15.

The visiting Seahawks put up two late scores to make it look closer than it was.

Myers finished with 83 yards gained over three carries and was two-for-seven on pass attempts. Kingsley averaged 8.1 per run on 10 carries, while Greyson Planinsic picked up 23 yards on six carries.

Defensively, Evan Nolli garnered six tackles and two assists, while Arjun Bal picked up five tackles.Vishaan Narayan was in on five tackles and recorded two quarterback sacks.

The Hyacks, 4-2 in conference play, close out the regular season on Friday, 4:30 p.m. at Mercer Stadium, against the 4-2 Mount Douglas Rams.

Royals hit rough patch at provincial championships Both Douglas College men and women’s teams lose semifinals; women’s Royals prepare to host nationals

As a training exercise, the PacWest championships wasn’t all it could have been for the Douglas College Royals.

The women’s soccer team, which went into the provincial tourney knowing they had an automatic ticket to the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s national championships as the host team, failed to advance after a 1-0 loss to the Capilano Blues last Friday.

The semifinal contest was deadlocked after one half,

but Caps’ Adrianna Babinski buried one behind the Royals’ Alexa Gazzola for the game’s only goal.

Pressing for the equalizer, Douglas’ striker Mikayla Hamilton collided with two other players, including teammate Mikaela Montagano, and left the field on a stretcher.

“It was scary at the time as they were worried about a possible neck injury, but she had a concussion and whiplash. ... She’s been at our practice, and we’ve got

our fingers crossed,” remarked Douglas coach Chris Laxton.

Capilano would fall to Vancouver Island in the final.

Prior to the tourney, Douglas sat eighth in the most recent national poll.

The Royals placed three players in the All-Conference all-star team: defender Hannah dela Cruz and midfielders Samantha Kell and Mikaela Montagano.

The CCAA national championships kick off Nov.

7, with the Royals playing the Quebec and four-time defending national champion Elan de Garneau. A victory would catapult them into the Nov. 8 semifinal.

The two met last year at the nationals, resulting in a 1-0 Garneau win.

The final is slated for Nov. 10 at Coquitlam’s Percy Perry Stadium.

DOUGLAS MEN BOW OUT Big expectations and national tournament hopes came crashing down when

the Douglas College men’s soccer team suffered a 2-1 loss in penalty kicks at the PacWest championship semifinal last Friday.

As the No. 2 seed and defending champions in the provincial tournament, Douglas had set its sights on getting a repeat trip to the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s nationals in Prince Edward Island, after placing second last year.

Those hopes came crashing down, but it took penalty kicks to do it.

Going six rounds, No. 4 seed Langara eliminated Douglas by a 4-3 decision, thanks to a big effort from goalkeeper Kevin Monk.

The keeper turned aside three Douglas shots to earn player of the game honours.

The Royals trailed after the Falcons took the lead in the 34th minute on a tally

by James Millar.

Putting all their offence on the table in the dying minutes, Douglas potted the equalizer when Burnaby’s Continued on page 22
