MP Julian backs made-in-New West petition Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A made-in-New West petition aims to improve the lives of some of Canada’s most vulnerable kids.

The Elizabeth Fry Society has launched a petition aimed at helping kids from coast to coast, and is encouraging Canadians to support its petition.

“We have a petition that is currently before the House of Commons calling on the government to take certain steps to help remove some barriers that are in

place that are impoverishing Canada’s poorest kids,” said Karen McCluskey, communications officer with the Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver. “There is four components to it. It’s bornand-bred in New Westminster, but the impact is national.”

New Westminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian, who has heard about issues of homelessness and child poverty from his constituents, has sponsored the petition.

“We cannot be satisfied by the current situation,” he said in a press release. “The Government

of Canada must uphold its responsibility to guarantee equal access to federally funded benefits, services and programs so children with informal or less stable living arrangements are not further marginalized.”

In September, Julian tabled a petition with thousands of signatures calling on the Government of Canada to uphold its international commitment to support all children in Canada equally, regardless of how and where they live.

Shawn Bayes, executive direc-

tor of the Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver, has called on the federal government to uphold its responsibility as a signatory of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child to ensure children across Canada have equal access to federally funded financial benefits and supportive programs and services.

“As a society, it’s our collective responsibility to ensure the basic needs of every child in Canada are met,” she said. “Right now, there are barriers and inconsistencies in the way federally funded

benefits and services are delivered, which leaves vulnerable children like those who are homeless, have an incarcerated parent or who are affected by neonatal substances are barred, delayed or disqualified from the supports they desperately need.That must change.”

People who support these changes can sign the e-petition at https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/ en/Petition/Sign/e-1840. More information about the petition is available by emailing petition@ elizabethfry.com.

City A CLOSER LOOK

Task forces ‘dig deeper’ into city issues

Members of the public are invited to view some task force meetings, but city admits the times and agendas aren’t posted online - yet Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Members of New Westminster city council will “dig deeper” into various issues through several task forces.

At its recent inaugural meeting, city council approved the formation of a new local economy task force, which will help implement items in the city’s recently approved economic development strategy and guide the work of the Intelligent City initiative. It joins several existing council/staff committees and task forces: affordable housing task force; Canada Games Pool and Centennial Community Centre task force; land use and planning committee; major projects task force; riverfront and public realm task force; and transportation task force.

“I find the task forces are helpful to recognize in our regular council meetings.We don’t always have the opportunities to dig deeper into very specific topics, given the heavy agendas that we do have,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote.

“It does give the opportunity for there to be a subcommittee of council to really kind of work a little bit deeper and spend more time on very specific topics, and then ultimately make recommendations back to council.”

After being elected mayor in 2014, Cote created task forces to

CITY HALL: Task forces aim to pour more resources into solving specific issues. tackle transportation, housing affordability, public engagement and the development of an economic health-care cluster in Sapperton. Along with Cote, two council members sit on each of the task forces.

“Some of the task forces have completed their work – the public engagement task force did its work, produced a final report, which we are now working off of,” he said. “Other task forces, like affordable housing and transportation, we recognize those are going

to be longstanding, ongoing issues for the city and will have to continue to do the work and continue serving.Those have been in place since the beginning and will continue to serve.”

Cote said the Canada Games Pool task force was created midway during the last term as that project started to take shape. As that project moves into the construction phase, he said it will likely wind up over the next year or two.

While citizens volunteer on the

PHOTO RECORD FILES

city’s advisory committees, commission, board and panels, most of its task forces are comprised of council and senior city staff.

Cote said it’s similar to the way that Metro Vancouver functions, where the mayors across the region serve on the board but other representatives serve on regional subcommittees that “dig down” on specific issues and have indepth discussions on those issues.

“I think definitely the work of the task force needs to come back to council, but I think in terms of

the efficiency of how we work as a council, it’s not always possible to have the in-depth workshops and I think it’s good to actually have different councillors that are able to specialize in certain areas and take on certain areas,” he said. “Ultimately, any of the direction that comes from any of this work has to feed back to council, because the work we do and the decisions we make ultimately have to be decisions for the full council. I think the model has actually worked very well.”

According to Cote, most of the task forces meet monthly. Like council meetings, he said they have an open and closed component, but the public is welcome to attend the open portions of the meetings.

The Record searched the city’s website for meeting times, agendas and minutes for the various task forces, but could only find details about the land use and planning committee.

City clerk Jacque Killawee said the task forces are administered at the department level with little interaction with her department.

“I know that the meeting times and agendas are posted in advance of the meeting on the bulletin board at city hall,” she said in an email to the Record. “The clerk’s department will coordinate with the departments over the next few months to move this notification onto the website.”

Mayor looks to boost city’s relationship with Burnaby Police ID suspect Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster’s mayor is trying to be neighbourly with other mayors in the region.

Mayor Jonathan Cote met with Burnaby’s new mayor Mike Hurley over lunch in New West on Nov. 6.

Cote thinks the Oct. 20 election results provide a “good opportunity” for the two cities to have a new-and-improved relationship.

“I actually think there are huge opportunities for New Westminster and Burnaby to work closer together. I am looking forward to establishing that relationship,” he said.

“I think New Westminster and Burnaby are dealing with a lot of similar issues. I think in the past, I’ll be upfront, myself and the former mayor (Derek Corrigan) didn’t have the closest of relationships and I am hoping there is a new opportunity to work with the new mayor.”

Cote said there’s a lot of returning councillors in Burnaby that New West council members have developed good relationships with

through the years.

Cote has also spoken to Doug McCallum, who was elected as Surrey’s new mayor in last month’s civic election. First elected to Surrey city council in 1993, McCallum served as Surrey’s mayor from 1996 to 2005.

Soon after being sworn in last week, Surrey city council voted to scrap the proposed light rail system in favour of a SkyTrain extension and to replace the RCMP with a municipal police force.

Cote, who chairs the New Westminster Police Board, said he’s more than willing to share New Westminster’s experience of having its own police force with Surrey.

“I’ve already had an opportunity to have a phone conversation with Doug McCallum from Surrey. Although the major focus of our conversation was related to transit, we did briefly talk about the police file,” Cote said. “New Westminster has been very wellserved by having our own independent police force and seeing the advantages of that.There are some extra costs involved in having your own police force. From

my perspective, as Surrey goes through the process and the decisions are going to have to make, if there is any resources or advice they need from communities

that have their own independent forces, I’d be more than willing to share our experience and the work we do by having our own police force.”

New Westminster Police have identified the man accused of stealing a donation box from the Royal Canadian Legion last week.

The alleged theft happened on Nov. 8 at the Legion branch on Sixth Street.

Police say the suspect ordered food, paid for his meal and then staff noticed the poppy donation tin near the register was missing.

They checked video surveillance and it appeared to show the man taking the tin, according to a press release.

Legion staff found the tin discarded outside. It was empty. It’s unknown how much money was taken, Sgt. Jeff Scott told the Record in an email.

On the weekend, New Westminster Police released two surveillance images of the suspect in hopes someone would recognize the man. On Tuesday, Scott confirmed to the Record that the suspect had been identified and that charges were being recommended.

“Once charges are sworn, we will be able to release further information,” he wrote.

Petition aims to stop generational impacts Continued from page 1 McCluskey said providing funds and services for homeless children and making sure they have a roof over their head at night can help fend off lifelong impacts to their physical and mental health, assist kids in positive relationships with their peers and allow them get an education because they’re not always moving.

“For them, that is life changing,” she said.

“We know that the component of recognizing and supporting children of incarcerated parents will also be life changing. It will mean, quite literally, that some children will be diverted from becoming involved in the justice system as adults.We know that from research done in other countries.

That is a societal benefit, obviously, as well. All of these things have the potential to change the most vulnerable children’s lives for the better, and give them the opportunity to live up to their full potential.”

McCluskey said the society learned about the issue through people who asked for help.

“It’s become clear that this is not a one-off family issue,” she said. “This is a systemic issue that impacts families right across the country.”

The society believes Canadians and the federal government have an opportunity – and a desire – to help vulnerable children.

“With some of these things there are systemic impacts of these marginalizing things – homelessness, addiction, incarceration.

They pass down.They are generational in some cases,” she said.

“What we are trying to do is stop that, to break that legacy.”

HERE’S WHAT’S PROPOSED: ! Remove barriers that children living in less stable home environments, such as those whose parents are homeless, incarcerated or have addictions, have in qualifying for federally funded benefits designed to support children, like the Canada Child Benefit. ! Recognize and provide for children living with parents in housing provided through Housing First, a federally funded Homelessness Partnering Strategy. ! Set standards for provincially or territoriality delivered child benefits that are funded federally, so kids in the same situation get the same money no matter where they live in Canada. ! Recognize and provide programs to support children whose parents are homeless, incarcerated or have addictions.

Opinion OUR VIEW

‘Gotcha’ moment raises issues about poverty

The BC Liberals may have been playing “gotcha” when they outed NDP MLA Mabel Elmore for claiming $61 a day in expenses when she was only supposed to be spending $19 a week on food as part of a poverty challenge.

But by doing so they raised a number of important issues.

Elmore and her staff must have been brain dead not to catch this gaffe, which just proves that the daily stipend for food in B.C.’s capital city without receipts should be

re-thought.

TheVancouver MLA may be planning to pay back the $244 she claimed, but the bookkeeping error cast doubt on what should have been a good initiative and raised images of fat-cat politicians dining on the taxpayer’s dime while children go hungry.

But the BC Liberals shouldn’t be smiling too broadly at this PR victory, because they, too, get the stipend.

More importantly, under the previous BC Liberal

Instead of embarrassing one of their colleagues, it’s time for all politicians to work together... government, poverty was a problem — and still is.

According to First Call, a coalition of child and youth advocacy groups, one in five children in B.C. lives in poverty, higher than the national average, and poverty rates among recent immigrant children, off-reserve Indig-

enous children and visible minority children are much higher.

In 2015, for example, under Christy Clark and the BC Liberals’ watch, poor families with two children had median incomes that were $11,000 below the poverty line, meaning that

more than half of them were in even deeper poverty, according to First Call.

What happened under the BC Liberals’ watch: housing prices went through the roof and homelessness increased in recent years in the community of Burnaby, the food banks continued to support families on income assistance rates; high daycare costs squeezed families further; and rents and food costs continued to stretch people’s budgets.

While the poverty challenge is a good way to high-

light the issue, it loses some of its punch when politicians take it on for a short period, only to return to their high-spending ways.

If the BC Liberals truly want to tackle child poverty, they should help the NDP government flesh out and fast-track anti-poverty legislation that was introduced this fall.

Instead of embarrassing one of their colleagues, it’s time for all politicians in the legislature to work together to tackle poverty on every front.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Low turnout on PR bad for democracy If only a quarter of the population – or less - supports the idea of moving to a proportional representation model for electing the provincial legislature, does that strengthen democracy or weaken it?

That’s not a rhetorical question.

Rather, there is a real chance of precisely this kind of scenario happening because of the BC NDP government’s convoluted referendum process.

As of this column’s writing, just under four per cent of the ballots referendum had been returned.

That number should increase over the next couple of weeks, but there is every reason to think the final response won’t hit 50 per cent.

Various polls show the two options are tied in public opinion (with “don’t know” getting a similar share).

If that is the case, then the answers to the pivotal first question on the ballot (basically, “Do you want to stick with the status quo or make a switch?”) will split fairly evenly.

For argument’s sake, let’s say the PR side wins with a 55 per cent to 45 per cent and the turnout rate is 40 per cent.

That would mean less than 25 per cent of the population would change the voting system, which is at the heart of our democracy.

That number will be lowered even further when we move to the second question, which asks which of three PR models do people like the most.

Again, assuming a close near-three-way split on that question, this could result in less than 10 per cent of the electorate choosing the specific voting method.

If this kind of scenario does indeed unfold, I fail to see how this strengthens democratic values and instills fairness in our electoral system.

A better approach would have been to create another “citizens’ assembly” (as the BC Liberals did during a previous referendum) to construct a single question on whether to stay with the current system or make the switch to a specific PR system (be it STV or MMP or whatever).

The assembly would have been able to supply details such as ridings, maps and a clearer picture of exactly what the new system would look like and how it would operate in action.

Instead, many of those details will be worked out by a legislative committee dominated by the two parties wanting a shift to PR (no matter how few people may actually end up being in favour of it) or by a commission.

There are good arguments out there for sticking with the status quo, or for switching to PR. Both sides have merit and both have disadvantages.

However, a lack of specific information may end up suppressing the vote and, if that happens, our democratic system will be weakened, not enhanced.

Police change uniform colour New Westminster’s police force was set to turn a darker shade of blue. After a one-year trial conducted by seven officers, the police board approved a change in uniform.

The light-blue shirt and dark pants traditionally worn by local cops were to be phased out in favour of a matching dark blue shirt and pants.The stripe running down the side of the pants was to be retained, however, to distinguish police officers from firefighters and other first responders. Along with the change in colour, the material and design of the new uniform was also changed to be more functional, comfortable and durable.The change was to be cost neutral.

Remembrance Day reminded me of our great local ‘armed forces’ Editor: As I attended the Remembrance Day ceremony at the armoury, and the subsequent ceremony at city hall, I was reminded of how each day our city’s “armed forces” work every day to keep us safe.

I was only able to thank a couple of our municipal police members, but I wish I had been afforded the opportunity to thank each and every member of the New Westminster Police Department for their daily commitment to keeping each of us safe each and every day.

Please know that you are very much appreciated and you are thanked for what you do each and every day to keep the citizens of New Westminster safe.

You are so very much appreciated.

‘Untested’ PR options are also innovative and worth implementing Editor: Re: Two PR options untested, Record Letters, Nov. 8 In the debate on proportional representation, a lot has been made of the two “untested” options

on the ballot, namely Rural-Urban Proportional and Dual-Member Proportional.

Those opposed to pro rep warn against turning our democracy into an experiment by using a new system never tried before.

A closer look at the systems, however, shows that the word innovative would be a much better descriptor.

The consultation on electoral reform, which had over 90,000 submissions, revealed a number of common threads among British Columbians, in particular the importance of maintaining strong local representation.

That’s why the three options presented each have this as one of their main principles.

Rural-Urban, for example, is an improved version of BC-STV that keeps more MLAs closer to home by addressing the issue of supersized rural ridings that were obviously a concern for voters in the 2009 referendum.

Dual-Member is a brilliant ProRep system designed in Canada, by a Canadian, specifically to offer the benefits of fair, proportional electoral results, while tailored to our unique geography of concentrated urban centres on the one hand and vast, sparsely populated regions on the other.

This type of innovation is something we should embrace, and certainly not fear.

I therefore made the new systems my top two choices as I believe they would each serve our province well.

City SAFETY

School district to lobby the city for Queensborough traffic fixes Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Parents and students could soon see some relief from the traffic woes that plague the elementary and middle schools in Queensborough.

Queen Elizabeth Elementary and Queensborough Middle schools are both located on Salter Street, between Howes and Campbell streets, and anyone who has ever been in the area at drop-off and pick-up times knows what a nightmare it can be.

Cars often line both sides of Salter and are usually blocking some of the road because of the deep ditches on the south side of the street, while commuters zoom by and students dodge passing cars as they cross to enter the schools.

There are also no crosswalks.

With more than 700 students attending the two

schools, trustee Mary Lalji put forward a motion to have the school board strike a task force to find a solution to pedestrian safety concerns at the Queensborough schools.

“I felt that it’s a safety issue that needs prompt attention and there are many factors to consider,” Lalji said at Tuesday night’s school board meeting.

“I think that it will take all stakeholders collaborating to find a solution to keep our kids safe. I believe that this is the best practice so that everyone involved has a voice.”

Queen Elizabeth PAC chair Bernadette Gourlay echoed Lalji’s concerns.

Gourlay has three children at Queen Elizabeth and Queensborough Middle, including a kindergartener.

She described the situation on Salter Street during drop off and pick up as insanity.

“There’s fender-benders and things like that, but it’s miraculous to me that a child actually hasn’t gotten hurt or an adult even,” she said. “I’m seeing it every day, and as a PAC chair

Safety concerns: Trustee Mary Lalji wants a safety task force set up. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

I’m getting it from all the parents.

“It has to change.”

But when it will change remains unanswered.

Superintendent Karim Hachlaf, who recently visited the Queensborough

schools to experience it first-hand, agreed that this needs to be a priority.

“It’s clear this issue has been building up and getting worse,” Hachlaf said.

But any solution will require the support and assistance of the city, he added, especially if pedestrian crossings are needed.

While some trustees agreed there is an urgency about the situation in Queensborough when compared to traffic problems at other schools in the district, none felt that a task force was the best way to tackle to problem.

Instead, trustees agreed to have staff contact the City of New Westminster in writing about what solutions are available and for recommendations on how to get these solutions in place.

“We want to use our influence and our partnership to see what we can do, to see what steps we can take,” Hachlaf added.

Cote eyes top transit role

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Cote is hoping to take on a leadership role with the new Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation when it gets back on track this week.

The Mayors’ Council, which includes representatives from municipalities throughout the region, is responsible for considering TransLink plans dealing with transportation service levels, major capital projects, regional funding and borrowing limits. Mayors who were elected in the Oct. 20 municipal elections will attend the next Mayors’ Council meeting on Nov. 15 (today) at TransLink’s head office in New Westminster.

I would consider myself as a strong advocate for public transit.

“I am going to be considering putting my name forward for chair of the Mayors’ Council at TransLink,” Cote told the Record. “I have served as chair of a few subcommittees of the Mayors’ Council. Certainly, I would consider myself as a strong advocate for public transit in the region, and have really enjoyed the opportunity to serve on the Mayors’ Council. I would love the opportunity to be able to take on a leadership role on that front.”

Cote, now serving his second term as mayor after three terms as a councillor, is now one of the longest-serving mayors in the region.

“It’s definitely an area that I’ve got a lot of interest and background in. I think I’d be able to represent the region well in terms of how

we move forward,” he said of the Mayors’ Council.

“I think TransLink is actually in a really good position to see some significant investments in public transit across the region and I think it’s going to be a really exciting time for the Mayors’ Council to start to see some real advancements of the plans that the region has been working on for decades.”

A large number of mayors in Metro Vancouver didn’t seek re-election, and incumbent mayors in Burnaby (Derek Corrigan), Pitt Meadows (John Becker) and Port Moody (Mike Clay) were defeated. Cote is now the fifth-longest-serving mayor in the region, behind Malcolm Brodie (Richmond), Richard Stewart (Coquitlam), Jack Froese (Township of Langley) and Doug McCallum, who served as Surrey’s mayor until 2005 and was re-elected on Oct. 20.

Surrey city council voted last week in favour of stopping work on the $1.65-billion light-rail line and working with TransLink on a SkyTrain extension.

In June, the Mayors’ Council approved Phase 2 of its 10-year plan, which included a new street-level Newton-Guildford light rail line.

“I think the vast majority of the mayors’ 10-year plan remains intact and we are going to be able to move forward, but there’s no doubt the change in direction from the new city council in Surrey is going to require a discussion around the Mayors’ Council table about what do we implement in terms of rapid transit south of the Fraser River,” Cote said.

“I think that will no doubt be one of the first conversations that the new Mayors’ Council is going to have to grapple with. I think the first major decision that is going to come forward to the Mayors’ Council is to decide whether we actu-

ally stop work on the light rail project to Guildford and Newton. A significant amount of money has already been invested in those projects, but I think there does need to be a recognition that the new Surrey city council is no longer supportive of that project, and I think it would be very dif-

ficult for the region to move ahead with a billion-dollar rapid transit project in a community that no longer wanted to host or cooperate in the building of that project.”

According to Cote,TransLink estimates it’s spent approximately $50 million on the LRT project so far.

Community Students use design-thinking skills at maker event Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Students at Ecole Qayqayt Elementary School got to try their hands at woodworking recently – thanks to a group of New Westminster Secondary School plumbing students.

The maker event, held on Nov. 2 at Qayqayt Elementary, was the first Industry Training Authority-sponsored event of the school year. Organized by the career programs department at the high school, the goal of the event was to help the elementary students work through a problem using design-thinking.

“At this age, this is still new for them.What is design-thinking? How did we solve this problem? Did the problem actually get solved?

And that’s the thing with design-thinking, it doesn’t always get solved.We need to be able to go back and forth to solve problems in a way that makes sense,” Gary Pattern, trades teacher at the high school, told the Record.

Pattern has been lead-

ing the charge in the district to get more schools onboard with the new applied design, skills and technology curriculum. Part of this project included the creation of maker spaces on wheels – portable carts filled with power tools and other equipment that can be used by all schools to conduct their own design-thinking projects.

And soon each school in the district will have its very own cart. Pattern is still

making his way from school to school to train other teachers to use the equipment in the carts.

These carts, and much of Pattern’s work on the ADST curriculum, has been funded by a special Ministry of Education grant the district received three years ago.The district also receives a substantial amount of funding from the Industry Training Authority of B.C. to put on events and to support ADST train-

“We’re really trying to create critical thinkers and problem solvers. Instead of just typing it into the internet and Google searching a problem, they’re coming up with the problem that is real world and I think it’s giving them a skill-set that employers are looking for later in life,” Pattern said.

Hotel was a city landmark Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

From the very first years of New Westminster’s existence, this town has had accommodations for travellers to, and through, the area.

These places could be crude and simple, or elaborate and fancy.

In the 1880s, a place that had been prominent for years, the Colonial Hotel, was replaced with a new version that was truly a highlight for those visiting the mainland and the city on the Fraser River. An article in the local newspaper described the building, and from this report we are shown a hotel that really sounds like it must have been a special place.

From fall of the year 1884, we visit the Colonial Hotel on the main street of New Westminster, through the writings of the Mainland Guardian newspaper. Under the heading “A very fine hotel” we read, “The new Colonial Hotel on Columbia St., in this city, is both use-

ful and ornamental. It has risen phoenix like, on the ruins of the old house, and is a substantial brick building.”

The ground floor of the structure apparently offered space for three storefronts and also accommodated the building’s kitchen, bar room, and a billiard room that was large, being 24 by 58 feet.This latter room had a glass wall along one side and a ceiling that “was decorated by seven superb centrepieces made at Seattle.”

The second floor was where the public dining room was situated, along with three private parlours.

One special feature was a suspension system by which “the dinner will come up in a minute, hot from the kitchen stove to the dinner table.” On each of the floors “the bath rooms and closets are all perfect and supplied with the latest improvements. Hot and cold water are to be had at once in any part of the building.” In terms of the rooms as accommodations, there

were 58 in the building, and “they will be luxurious consolations for those who wish to rest in peace on splendid beds.”

It is obvious from the description of the views that there many windows in the hotel. From one side could be seen a “magnificent stretch of the Fraser River and the solemn solitudes of the mighty forest” and from another “you get very pretty views of the snow-capped mountains of the north.”

The full cost of the structure was to be $50,000 and “the whole house, from turret to foundation stone, is perfectly finished.The architect displayed evidence of design and taste; the carpenters, painters, and plasterers did their work well.”

The report ends by making it clear that this hotel was very bright and comfortable: “the best thing in the house is a thing that cost nothing, and that is the light. It is in every nook and corner.”This was New Westminster’s Colonial Hotel of 1884.

Community Students raise thousands in honour of Terry Fox Cayley Dobie CLASS ACT

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

I’ve got some more good news to share this week.

Recently, I highlighted some of the great work students at Ecole Lord Tweedsmuir, Connaught Heights, Lord Kelvin and F.W. Howay elementary schools did to raise thousands of dollars for the Terry Fox Foundation.

Well, I’ve got a few more to note.

Students at Queen Elizabeth Elementary raised $571 during their Terry Fox Run in September while over at Queensborough Middle School students raised $1,568.

At Fraser River Middle School, meanwhile, the students raised $525 for the foundation.

Students at Ecole Glenbrook Middle School didn’t too bad either.They raised more than $5,700 for the Terry Fox Foundation through a number of differ-

ent fundraisers, including bake sales and a “Toonie for Terry” day held every Tuesday for about a month.

“One student took it up a notch and brought her teacher a toonie every day of the campaign. If she missed a day, she doubled up the next day,” Glenbrook vice-principal Tu Loan Trieu wrote in an email to the Record.

Because the students raised so much money for the foundation, teachers were on the hook for a few out-of-the-box rewards.

For hitting $1,000, the top fundraisers got to toss a pie in their teachers’ faces (Trieu included), and for reaching $2,000 the class that raised the most money got to throw dodgeballs at the teachers, but the most sought-after reward (and one they surpassed by more than $700) was the $5,000 prize.

For raising more than $5,700, one of Glenbrook’s teachers agreed to shave his head.

“This is the most mon-

ey the school has raised and I’m hoping this will be something we will be known for: top fundraising school in the district,”Trieu wrote.

Congratulations to all students on their fabulous fundraiser efforts. It’s incredible and you should be very proud of yourselves.

Oh, and I’d love to hear from the rest of the schools, too. I’ve heard Richard Mc-

Bride is still tallying up the total, so we should know how much those kids raised shortly, but it’d be great to hear from folks at Ecole Herbert Spencer and Qayqayt elementary schools too.

NEW SCHOLARSHIP UP FOR GRABS In case you missed it, this week well-known Burnaby developer Ryan Beedie an-

nounced he was donating $50 million to create a new scholarship program for B.C. students.

IN THE LIBRARY

Love video games?

The library can help Alicia Dobbs

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

If you’re an adult with no reason to venture into the wilds of the children’s department at the library, you might not realize that we have a collection of video games available for loan.

While we only collect games with a maximum age rating of T (Teen), don’t think that adults can’t have fun with them too! Here are a few of our personal favourites.

Do you aspire to a career in city planning? Get your fix with Cities: Skylines, a simulation game where you construct a city from the ground up, including zoning land, building infrastructure, and dealing with crises.

You’ll never see traffic the same way again.

Artists, mythology enthusiasts, and world travelers are encouraged to try Okami, a visually stunning action-adventure based on Japanese mythology. It’s worth a look for the gorgeous and unique art direction alone.

Do you enjoy puzzles?

Do your friends remark on

your slightly “off” sense of humour? Portal 2 is for you.

Escape from the bizarre Aperture Science facility and its evil AI overseer in this excellent (and weird) puzzle game.

Recommended for those seeking a quiet escape from reality is StardewValley.This is a relaxed, upbeat game where you move to an idyllic small town to become a farmer. Build a farm while developing relationships with the locals, fishing, digging up treasure, and more.

Keep an eye on the clock, though – it’s addictive!

For a slightly less quiet escape from reality, pick up Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, an open world fantasy adventure game that pits you (as iconic hero Link) against an ancient evil. Complete quests, fight monsters, or just ride your horse around the scenic landscape.

Come in to the library and see our complete collection, which includes titles available on the Wii,Wii U, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One platforms.

Arts Society has announced the winners of its 2018 Fred Cogswell Award for Excellence in Poetry.

Taking first place in the fifth annual award competition is Aislinn Hunter for Linger, Still, published by Gaspereau Press.

Second place went to Catriona Wright for Table Manners (Signal Editions/ Véhicule Press) and third to Catherine Graham for

The Celery Forest (Buckrider Books/Wolsak & Wynn).

The awards come with cash prizes of $500, $250 and $100, respectively.

Awards will be presented at a special ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 24 from 2:30 to 4 p.m. in Room 417 at the Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St. The awards ceremony is free and open to anyone who’s interested.

Community Protesting peanut bans in school is just plain nuts Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

Imagine your five-yearold child is sitting at a table eating lunch with some classmates when, all of a sudden, another child playfully sneaks up behind and puts their hands on your child’s face, trying to initiate a game of “Guess who?”

Now imagine that child has just eaten a peanut butter sandwich and your child has an anaphylactic reaction to peanuts.

Does the one teacher who is supervising the classroom of 30 students notice your child, who has by now fallen to the ground in shock?

As your child’s throat quickly swells and closes, causing a loss of consciousness, is the supervising adult able to rush to an EpiPen and treat your child before the allergic reaction takes their life?

Fortunately for those parents who have children with serious nut allergies, most schools across Canada have banned nuts in classrooms.

For one parent, however, this ban poses what she believes to be a serious problem.

A mother based in Waterloo, Ont. is challenging the school board to overturn the ban on nuts in school because her picky eater will only eat peanut butter sandwiches.Through a public online petition, the mother hopes to recruit other parents, like herself, who detest the district-wide nut ban, favouring easier lunch options for their fussy children.

She hopes to receive 50,000 signatures.To no surprise, she has not yet met her goal, with only 514 signatures from supporters listed on the site.

In the introduction to her petition, the mother shares, “I am a single mom with three kids under six, being told that my children do not have a right to attend public school because I pack nuts in their lunch.The children allergic to nuts are not deserving of more protection than any other allergic student.”

Many allergies do exist, but peanut allergies in particular are the most common cause of food-induced anaphylaxis - a life-threatening medical emergency that requires treatment with an epinephrine (adrenaline) injector (EpiPen, Auvi-Q,

Share warmth with those in need The 24th annual REALTORS Care Blanket Drive kicked off on Tuesday in New Westminster to collect warm winter clothing for those in need across the Lower Mainland.

The drive is the largest and longest running blanket drive in the Lower Mainland. Between now and Nov. 20, volunteers will collect warm clothing and blankets across the region.

The donations are then distributed to partner charities from the same community where the item was donated.

The public can make donations at more than 100 participating real estate offices across the Lower Mainland.The locations in New Westminster are Park Georgia Realty at 718 Second St. and RE/MAX Advantage Realty at #102-321 Sixth St. The blanket drive seeks to collect enough clothing to help more than 30,000 people stay warm this winter.

“A recent homeless count in Metro Vancouver indicates there are more people living in shelters or on

the streets than ever before,” Phil Moore, Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver president, said in a news release. “Our partner charities need all the support they can get this winter, so please donate what you can. Every little donation helps.”

Since beginning in 1994, the program has helped provide warmth to more than 345,000 Lower Mainland residents.

To follow this year’s blanket drive on social media, use #RCBD2018 or go to www.facebook.com/ BlanketDrive.

“Anything you can give that’s in good shape – an unused blanket, spare coat, even a pair of mittens – will directly help a person in need in your area,” John Barbisan, Fraser Valley Real Estate Board president, said.

Items needed: ! Blankets or sleeping bags, gently used or new ! Warm clothing, coats ! Hats, gloves, scarves ! New socks and underwear For more information, visit www.blanketdrive.ca.

Twinject) and a trip to the emergency room, so in my opinion, it’s a great place to start.

She ends her statement wildly with, “Should we kill all the bees because people are allergic to them?”

Be sure to grab a barf bag before you read the comments that are shared by the supportive signees, found at the end of the petition.

One commenter shares,

“I’m so tired of society having to cede to people who feel their needs outweigh everyone else’s. My children were also prevented from enjoying their favourite foods at school.”

Other commenters agree with this notion, saying things like, “Children that are not allergic shouldn’t be punished.”

The ban is not about inconveniencing busy parents

by forcing them to choose a new ingredient to squash between two slices of bread.

The nut-free school rule was put in place to save the lives of those children who could die from exposure.

I, too, am a busy working mother of three with very picky eaters, but when it comes to packing lunches, I play the role of parent, not peon.There are tons of other healthy lunch options

available, and my children fully understand the risks to their friends when bringing nuts into the school.

If you can’t look past the PB&Js that your kids love to eat, in order to save a life, then you’re the one who is nuts, not the school bans.

Little Mermaid comes to Massey Do you have a young musical theatre lover in the house?

Tickets are selling fast for The Little Mermaid Jr., a production by the Children’s Theatre of Richmond Association that’s coming to Massey Theatre in November.

The theatre group will also be staging Beauty and the Beast Jr. at the Norman Rothstein Theatre in Vancouver in December.

“Last year’s production of Aladdin was a huge success, so we expect The Little Mermaid Jr. and Beauty and the Beast Jr. to sell out quickly this year,” said LilyYuan, the company’s founder and producer, in a press release.

“We not only have a talented team of young perform-

ers and renowned directors, we have also incorporated original art with digital technology to bring audiences a stunning, lively and one-of-a-kind performance stage.”

Three Disney Channel child actors will be joining this year’s Little Mermaid cast: Zoey Siewert as Ariel, Zac Siewert as King Triton and Jaedon Siewert as Chef Louis.

They’ll be joined by Neil Hong as Prince Eric and Victoria Kazantseva as Ursula.

The production is choreographed by internationally renowned choreographer Harry Zhao, who has represented China in the World Sports Dance Open.

Canadian surrealist artist

Michael Abraham is handpainting the props and backdrops for such scenes as Ursula’s cave, mirrors for the mermaids and more.

The Vancouver-based digital media company FStar Media has used 3D mapping technology to showcase the 20 animated backdrops, and local construction company Kiewit has created a ship that can accommodate up to nine actors.

“This year’s show embraces technology and mixes it with traditional art, while celebrating the culture and talents of the young generation in our community,”Yuan said.

Tickets are available at www.ticketsnw.ca.The show is not recommended for children under age two.

FRIDAYS ON FRONT

WHAT’S HAPPENING? The Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Area and Douglas College are presenting a holiday edition of the popular Fridays on Front on Friday, Dec. 14. It’s taking place from 4 to 9 p.m. under the Front Street Parkade near Fourth Street.

“This really came from the community, the people that attended and loved Fridays on Front all summer.

The feedback that we got from them was that they wanted to see more and they’d love to see a holiday market edition,” says Kendra

Johnston, executive director of the BIA. “We are super excited about it.”

Fridays on Front is normally held at the new Front Street Mews, but the holiday edition is heading further east.

“We are going to be on the east end of Front Street, underneath the parkade, protected from the elements,” Johnston says.

“It’s an area of Front Street that is not usually activated, so we are excited to activate it and give some of the businesses on that end a little extra promo as well.”

HOW FESTIVE CAN IT BE UNDER THE PARKADE? “It will be super festive,” Johnston promises. “We are working on some really fun lighting to light up that space.”

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT THE HOLIDAY EDITION? New West Craft will be hosting a holiday artisan market, where attendees can find some last-minute items on their Christmas lists.

The Arts Council of New Westminster will be programming some live music, and New Westminster Family Place will be providing some activities for the little ones at this free event.

“It is going to be fully licensed,” Johnston said.

“Steel and Oak is going to be serving beer and Pacific

Breeze is going to be serving mulled wine. We are pretty excited about that.”

WHAT IF I’M HUNGRY? Bring an appetite. Some of the popular food trucks from the summer Fridays on Front, including Fryingpan, Crab Park Chowdery, Japadog, Brazilian Roots, Slavic Rolls, Bread & Cheese, Cannoli King and Hugs by Mollie’s Minis, will be selling yummy food.

“There will be plenty of hot chocolate and beverages,” Johnston said. “We will have 10 food trucks on site. It is a bit bigger – we can definitely fit in a few more trucks and a few more vendors. It’s going to be bit larger than the typical Fridays on Front.”

FEEDBACK WELCOME: “This is our first time

trying out this event. We are open to feedback. We are really anxious to see what the community will think about our take on the holiday edition,” Johnston said. “We look forward to

Community Be a star and help the hospital at fundraising night Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

The Group of Five and Friends are shooting for the stars with their next fundraiser.

The Group of Five and Friends Benevolent Society is holding a Christmas fundraiser, where folks can socialize, enjoy light refreshments, purchase beverages at a cash bar and take part in live and silent auctions.

The Become a Star fundraiser – which believes everybody is a star when they get involved and support Royal Columbian Hospital – is on Friday, Nov. 16 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at Centennial Lodge in Queen’s Park.

“We do at least two fundraisers a year.This is our Christmas-themed one,” said Betty McIntosh, the group’s vice president. “We are trying to expand a little bit on this one.We have rented the lodge.There will be light refreshments.We are going to have a live auction.”

Items up for grabs in the live auction include a 43”

flat screen TV, a Toronto Blue Jays jersey autographed

by Canadian Hall of Fame player Lloyd Moseby, a baseball autographed by retired National Baseball Hall of Fame player Roberto Alomar and an electric cordless lawnmower. Other items in the auctions include a wooden wine rack with 20 bottles of wine and a Justin Morneau package includ-

We are trying to expand a little bit on this one … ing a photo, limited edition ball cap and an autographed baseball by the NewWest native.

Become a Star is raising funds to help purchase a tilting wheelchair for Royal Columbian Hospital, which costs about $4,000.

“It’s a high back chair for the Intensive Care Unit.The back of the chair moves. Depending on the position that the patient needs to be in, it can tilt back,” McIntosh

said. “We go to the foundation and say, ‘what are the requests from the different wards?’We go throughout the hospital. In the spring we bought two Dopplers that are these little gizmos they can run along arms and legs to check for blood clots. Again, that was for ICU too.”

Founded in 2004, the society raises money to buy equipment needed at Royal Columbian Hospital that isn’t funded by Fraser Health. Past purchases have included items for the operating rooms, education department, children’s department, emergency room and children’s play area.

Tickets are $30 and available by calling Betty McIntosh at 604-6198455 or Gerda Suess at 604-522-7196. If you can’t make it to the event but want to bid on live auction items, you can send bids to groupoffivenw@gmail.com and put Live Auction Bid in the subject line.

Community New West museum explores the history of ‘fake news’ In an era when “fake news” is a bit of a buzzword, a new exhibition aims to shed some light on local newspaper history.

The New Westminster Museum and Archives’ latest exhibition, Getting the Word Out, brings together the social media era and New West’s earliest newspapers.

“The digital age has changed how people consume news. How do we begin to tease out fact from opinion or information from disinformation?” said a press release from the museum. “Fear and emotion can influence how we respond to, share and perpetuate the stories we are exposed to. However, thoughtful consideration and critical thinking also contribute to what we choose to do with what we read.”

According to the museum, New Westminster became a major centre of printing, from the first cumbersome printing press dragged over the stumps and hills of the budding city.

At times in its history, New Westminster has been home

to multiple newspapers vying for readers.

“The Getting the Word Out exhibition tells these stories in the prism of today’s concerns,” said the press release. “Along with

The digital age has changed how people consume news. the printing industry’s tools of the trade on display, there will be some of the subjects of past ‘fake news’ too: patent medicine from the 19th

and early 20th century.Why medicine? Often patent medicine ads were disguised as newspaper articles. Or the ads used fake testimonials from non-existent doctors.The exhibition pairs up antique medicine bottles with their newspaper ads so visitors can see for themselves how our ancestors were manipulated.”

Getting the Word Out, located in the museum on the third floor of the Anvil Centre, runs to April 28, 2019.

“While we think of social media today being a sort of Wild West, our news feeds filled with disinformation, this is not a new thing,” museum curator Oana Capo-

ta said in a press release.

“We have many examples of headlines that manipulated people’s emotions in the past. Articles were often biased, with little regard for impartiality.”

A series of programs is planned to enhance the Getting the Word Out exhibition, including Protest &

Propaganda, a printmaking workshop combining history and examples from the museum collection to inspire the creation of a New Westminster propaganda poster, and Read All About It, a presentation by the city archivist about the archives’ newspaper collection ranging from the 1870s up to

the modern era.

The New Westminster Museum, located in Anvil Centre at 777 Columbia St., is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (with extended hours on Thursdays to 8 p.m.), and admission is by donation.

Party speech: Inn at the Quay general manager Kathy MacKerricher speaks at her surprise party.

Theresa McManus

Inn at the Quay may have missed out on a 30-year anniversary celebration, but it couldn’t miss out on a milestone for longtime general manager Kathy MacKerricher.

About 70 people attended a recent surprise party in honour of MacKerricher’s 30th anniversary with the hotel on New Westminster’s waterfront.

“The hotel opened 30 years ago in August. I have been with the hotel since it opened,” she told the Record. “The team here did a surprise 30th anniversary party for me. I thought I was going up into the Hyack Room to check out the outdoor patio and walked into a room full of people. It was very much a surprise. I had no clue.”

Current and past employees, community members, members of the management team at head office, as well as some of MacKerricher’s family and friends attended the party – and managed to keep it a surprise. And just why has MacKerricher stayed on the job for so long?

“Good owners. Good management company.

Great team. It allowed me to have a career and a family. It’s all just worked well,” she said. “There have been rough times, changes with owners and management can be difficult but for the most part it just keeps ticking along.”

Stay tuned for some other news regarding MacKerricher’s bash in an upcoming issue of the Record.

Chan has welcomed more than 80 students into his Sapperton business.

Inspired by a childhood and life dedicated to martial arts, Chan has been an award-winning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) competitor and an entrepreneur in the competitive fitness industry locally for more than a decade, running a successful women’s kickboxing boot camp and offering private training to BJJ athletes.

He spent numerous years with the Gracie Barra family in Vancouver before deciding to start a franchise of his own.

Chan’s father, James Chan, founded one of Canada’s first martial arts school in the 1960s in Winnipeg, Man. It was one of many businesses that the Chan family had, which dipped between highs and lows.

“What I didn’t know then was how martial arts would become my therapy,” said Chan, 49, in a press release.

“Martial arts as a way of life has made me more resilient and instilled in me discipline, self-confidence, and an appreciation of how to approach life’s challenges.”

Chan, a Burnaby resident, has written two books

on personal development, and was recognized as one of Shaw Communications’ Top 50 Outstanding Canadians in 2017. For some students, attending BJJ has become a family affair, as family memberships make up almost 30 per cent of Chan’s current sales. Children’s programs and women’s self-defence seminars are just some of the offerings at Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, 482 East Columbia St. For more information on upcoming programs, visit https://gbnewwest.com.

GEMINI RISING A local vintage clothing store was excited to see one of its outfits grace the small screen.

Gemini Rising, located at 43 Sixth St., recently posted a photo on Instagram after spotting actor Kristin Chenoweth (as Lavinia) wearing “a killer 70’s jumpsuit” on Trial and Error.

“Keeping our eyes peeled for the other pieces we’ve sold to the local film industry including Riverdale, and looking forward to The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina airing on Netflix …. (shot here in #newwest).”

Hospital volunteer earns Health Hero honour A Royal Columbian Hospital volunteer is this year’s recipient of the Above and Beyond Fraser Health Hero Award.

Finderson Alves – known as Fin to everyone at RCH – started volunteering after becoming a renal dialysis patient at RCH 20 years ago.

“I was on dialysis three times a week,” Alves said in a Fraser Health news release. “Like other patients, I felt tired and frustrated.”

But spending those long hours at the hospital were helped by the friendships he formed.

“There is a real sense of community in the renal unit and more importantly – trust,” he said.

After six years of being on dialysis, Alves underwent a successful kidney transplant.

Grateful for his new lease on life, he was inspired to give back through volunteering.

“He could have just walked away, gone on to live his life at new highs and try to recuperate all those hours he spent on dialysis,” said diabetes nurse Fibia Zgreaban. “Instead he gathered

all his energy and continued giving back to the same unit.”

Being on dialysis is not an easy journey and patients can struggle with depression, but staff in the renal unit say that Alves lights up the day when he arrives and that his ability to empathize with dialysis patients has a positive impact.

“Sometimes when people are on the verge of quitting dialysis and withdrawing all treatment, Fin will talk to them,” says Zgreaban. “After, they are calmer and more content.”

Alves says his philosophy is that in giving he receives more: “We are all human beings and we learn from each other.”

When asked what he loves about volunteering, he said: “The moments that stand out are seeing people light up with a smile when they see me. I enjoy being there for people and helping to comfort them.”

Alves is often invited to attend funerals by the families of patients who were touched by his kindness.

“It can be emotional,” he

said. “But I value my experiences in helping others. It’s a collection of beautiful, invaluable moments.”

Alves volunteers mainly in the renal support, spiritual care and therapeutic touch programs at RCH, but he’s often spotted helping people outside those areas including staff and other volunteers.Whether he’s showing people around, asking people if they are feeling okay or getting someone a glass of water while they wait for a loved one – he’s always ready to help.

“Fin is so passionate about his volunteer role, sometimes I have to gently remind him this isn’t a full-time job,” says volunteer resources manager Kathy Corbeil. “He wears many hats, and his kind spirit shows through his big smile. If he sees a problem, he won’t give up until it’s fixed.”

Outside his volunteer work, Alves spends his time raising awareness about kidney health. At the hospital’s annual Diabetes Day and Kidney Day events, he speaks to people about the

importance of screening and prevention. And he extends this passion beyond the walls of Royal Columbian Hospital.

“Once I asked him to help me organize a Diabetes Day at Surrey Memorial Hospital,” said Zgreaban.

Mud track marks Queen’s race

Have bike, must carry is part of the deal when cycling at Queen’s Park

Clear skies didn’t detract from the muddy trails and difficult trek for competitors at last weekend’s Queen’s Cyclo-cross Race, held Sunday.

Elite division champions Nathan Killam, of Vancouver, and Kelly Welbourn, of North Van, surged to the front of the pack during their respective men’s and women’s finals.

Killam overtook Victoria’s Raphael Lalumiere midway through the eightlap event and held on for the win, while Vancouver’s Brett Wakefield finished third.

Welbourn led the five-lap race from

the get-go, while Joele Guynup of Victoria and New West’s Lilly Ujfalusi, who at 16 was at least half the age of the top two finishers, battled it out for second and third, respectively.

In the intermediate division, 14-year-old Carden King carted off the men’s title, edging out North Van’s Drew Pautler, 39. On the women’s side, Megan O’Rourke of North Van collected the intermediate crown, edging Vancouver’s Lindsey Von Bloedau.

In other men’s finals, Chris Kam edged out New West’s Paul McCarthy in masters B division, while James

Birkenbuel won the masters A title.

Other winners were: Jessy Hoffman (open), Nathan Bishop (novice), Kai Sargent (under-13),Timo Clement (u15), Manu Moore (u17) and Timothy Ho (u19).

For the women, Carolyn Russell of Vancouver beat out North Van’s Kristin Campbell in the masters race, while Caitlin Reimer prevailed in the novice event. Picking up divisional titles were Anna Seglkeu (u13), Susanna Ujfalusi (u13), Katrin Rytir (u17) and Annabella Stoll-Dansureau (u19).

Win propels Hyacks into underdog role against Panthers Defending provincial Subway Bowl champs draw No. 1-ranked Lord Tweedsmuir in Saturday’s quarterfinal

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The last time they ventured to B.C. Place to play, the New Westminster Hyacks exited as champions.

It’s going to be slightly different heading into Saturday’s quarterfinal.

New West will enter this weekend’s game as underdogs when they face No. 1-ranked Lord Tweedsmuir (Saturday, 5 p.m. at B.C. Place), after launching the B.C. Subway Bowl playoffs last Friday with a resounding 44-7 victory over the Abbotsford Panthers.

What the Hyacks accomplished against the Panthers of the Fraser Valley was a glimpse into what they’ll need to put together against the undefeated Surrey team,

which also bears the Panther moniker.

To keep the drive alive, they need to deliver a near impeccable performance, as they did in the playoff opener.

“Our kids played well, although Abbotsford was a little under-manned,” remarked New West head coach Farhan Lalji. “We did some good things offensively, and we stood up very well against (Abbotsford’s) run.”

The defence shut down what had been a strong rushing game, holding Abbotsford to just 116 yards on 41 carries on the night.

Meanwhile, the Hyacks’ attack capitalized on its first two possessions, with Broxx Comia dancing in from 35 yards and quarterback Kinsale Philip making a one-yard TD plunge, followed by a two-point convert.

Ahead 14-0 after the first quarter, the

hosts saw the Panthers reply to start the second frame, but New West came right back with a long march that ended with a threeyard run by Comia.The polished Grade 12 rusher boosted the lead to 30-7 with a 36yard TD catch from Philip before halftime.

In the third quarter, Shaye Rathjen scored on a 41-yard interception, followed

by Himmat Garcha’s 15-yard dash into the end zone.

Philip returned at linebacker after a threeweek absence and packed on a team-high nine tackles, while completing three of eight pass attempts. He also gained 60 yards rushing. Comia ran for 79 yards on six carries and two majors, while Greyson Planinsic also ran for 60 yards, off five carries.

Having dropped three of its previous four

games, New West looked like a team that had effectively turned the page and was primed for a new run. Lalji said although Tweedsmuir is an immensely talented team, he feels good about the matchup.

“We believe in our talent (and) in our linemen overall,” he said. “(Lord Tweedsmuir) is a very strong team, but I look at each (quarterfinal) game this weekend and I can see any team winning.We’re capable of winning this.”

The Panthers, who went 7-0 in the Eastern Conference and gave up just 62 points, are led by quarterback Trey Jones, who posted a 57.7 pass completion rate, and conference MVP Kojo Odom at defensive back.Their roster also includes all-star Continued on page 39

Royals surge short of a bronze Dan Olson

In the end, drama ruled the day.

Like a tautly-scripted thriller, the Douglas College Royals pushed their bronze medal hopes right to the last minute before succumbing 2-1 to the Fanshawe Falcons, ending the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s national women’s soccer championships in fourth place.

As the host team, the Royals were aiming to exit with the most.

The Falcons broke a 1-1 tie Saturday in the 83rd minute, when Nicole Nielsen headed the ball past Royals goalkeeper Alexa Gazzola for the game winner.

Although Douglas pulled out all the stops to get the equalizer, Fanshawe, the Ontario champions, were able to protect the lead.

“Everyone should be proud of their performances, and the team showed well against some formidable opponents,” said Laxton. “We had a bit of turmoil to start the season but as the season went on the players galvanized together to make a good push.”

The Falcons opened the scoring at the 42-minute mark, but the hosts charged out and tied it barely a minute into the second half. Captain Samantha Kell delivered a well-placed free kick into the box, where team-

mate Alyssa Lum headed home the equalizer. Picking up the team’s Player of the Game award was defender Hannah dela Cruz.

Douglas peeled off a two-game win streak to advance to the bronze medal game, after opening the tournament with a harsh 4-0 loss to four-time defending champion Elan de Garneau.

In their second match, the Royals rebounded with a resounding 4-1 triumph over the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology Trojans.

The two teams traded goals in the opening 20 minutes, before Caitlin Limmayog-Danielson tallied what proved to be the game-winner at the 36-minute mark. Samantha Kell,Taylor Wettig and dela Cruz also scored, while Burnaby’s Martina Pettenon

was selected the player of the game.

They needed penalty kicks to advance to the bronze game, edging Northern Alberta Ooks 1-0. Douglas counted five goals on their six penalty kick attempts, while the Ooks managed just two.

Scoring for the Royals were Mikaela Montagano, Mikayla Hamilton, Kell and Gazzola, who also earned player of the game honours.

Kell was named to the All-Canadian honour roll list, while defender Preet Thandi was selected for the Championship All-Star team.

In the national final, it was an allQuebec showdown, with Champlain St. Lambert edging Garneau 3-2 on Thalin Krauth-Ibarz’s second marker of the game in the 89th minute.

New West face Panthers Continued from page 38 receiversYosef Drysdale and Kaiden Lilley, lineman Noah Bedard and linebacker Nathan Gernon.

The Panthers also anticipate the return of receiver Jaden Simon – son of B.C. Lions legend Geroy Simon – after missing time to injury.

As formidable as their perfect record and stats are,Tweedsmuir is a test New West’s players are eager to

take on, said the coach.

“I think they’re excited.They know each other through community and other football events, and there are no secrets between them.We haven’t played them since 2012 but I think there is a familiarity. “(Tweedsmuir) is very talented and dynamic across the board, but this is the kind of matchup you’re going to get as you go in the playoffs.”

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