Utilities rate hikes coming Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
New Westminster city council has approved inprinciple rate adjustments for the water, sewer and solid waste utilities. But it stopped short of raising electrical utility rates. Staff will prepare bylaws needed to amend the utility rates to incorporate a sevenper-cent increase to each of the water and sewer utilities (with similar increases projected annually until 2023) and a 12-per-cent increase to the solid waste utility (with another 12-per-cent increase projected in 2020 and eight-per-cent increases forecast in years 2021 to 2023). The utilities budgets included in the draft five-year financial plan are based on projections using best estimates of future events that may affect the budget, such as annual wage increments, increased fees charged by Metro Vancouver and BC Hydro, and infrastructure replacement, said a staff report. Council, however, held off on approving in-principle a proposed four-percent increase to the electrical utility. Instead, it’s considering a change in the way it calculates electricity rates. The city’s electrical utility buys electricity from BC Hydro and resells it to New West residents and businesses. While the city is anticipating BC Hydro’s rate increase to be three-per-cent annually from 2019 to 2023, staff recommended
the city adopt increases of four-per-cent annually for the next five years to offset increased operating expenses and to fund the capital program. Coun. Patrick Johnstone said the city’s longstanding practice has been to charge electrical rates in New Westminster that are the same that customers in Burnaby, Coquitlam or other communities would get from BC Hydro. Since the city can buy electricity at a wholesale price and sell it at a retail price, Johnstone said it’s able to make a significant amount of money from that. He said most of that money goes toward the operation of the utility, so it continues to operate and to be sustainable. “But we do also take a dividend,” he added. “As a shareholder, we make a profit every year and that helps offset taxes for the residents of the city. In this proposal, we are talking about raising our electrical rates at a rate that is higher than the proposed increases that BC Hydro is foreseeing for the coming years.” Johnstone said he recognizes the city has “some significant capital costs” to deal with in the coming years, including building a new substation and rising costs of maintaining the utility. He suggested the extra costs shouldn’t come from increasing rates above what customers are paying in cities served by BC Hydro, but from the dividends the city receives. Continued on page 10

City SCHOOLS
Nourishment program set to launch in January
Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
Students at some New Westminster schools will have a new option for healthy lunches when the district’s school nourishment program rolls out in January. The former New Westminster board of education approved the creation of a district-wide food program at the end of the last school year. In September, the school district hired a school nutrition coordinator to help with development and rollout of the new plan. The goal is to make sure all kids are fed and all kids eat healthy while the program is kept universally accessible and voluntary. The public will have its first chance to sample some of the foods that’ll be offered to students at the district parent advisory council meeting in January, and district staff will be at the meeting to answer any questions parents might have. There are also tasting events planned for Qay-
qayt and Queen Elizabeth elementary schools and Queensborough Middle School on Jan. 29, 30 and 31, respectively. On Feb. 6, teachers and administrators will have a chance to try some of the food during a district-wide collaboration day before it starts the following day. The district has planned a phased approach for the roll out, starting with Qayqayt (Feb. 5) and Queen Elizabeth (Feb. 7) elementary schools and Queensborough Middle School (Feb. 8).The week of Feb. 11 will be the first week of full meal service at all three schools, according to a staff report. “For Phase 1 we will be monitoring the program, doing a significant menu analysis on the offerings that we’ll be providing to students and then we’ll look at some perceived barriers to access,” said Quirina Gamblen, the district’s director of programs and planning. Phase 2 of the program is set to begin in September 2019. First up, on Sept. 24, will be Fraser River
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Queen Elizabeth will be one of the first New West schools to take part in a new nourisment program. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER Middle School and Lord Tweedsmuir and Connaught Heights elementary schools. F.W. Howay and Richard McBride elementary schools and Glenbrook Middle School will follow on Nov. 5, 6 and 7, respectively.
Students at Herbert Spencer and Lord Kelvin elementary schools will have to wait until January 2020 to take part in the program. (Schools with existing food programs will continue to operate until they change over.) The final school that will

moving ahead in partnership with the University of B.C., University of Saskatchewan and Fraser Health. The group recently received a $25,000 grant from the social sciences and humanities research council.The money will be used to develop evaluation tools to help support the longterm “success of the new school lunch program and to provide information to the education and health sectors,” according to the report. “That is so we can actually look at the program and evaluate the program because it is the first one in the province of British Columbia in a public school,” Gamblen added For more on this new program, go to newwest schools.ca and search ‘school nourishment’ to download the executive summary.

The officers who helped solve a 20-year-old New Westminster sexual assault case have been recognized by the provincial government at the Police Honours Night. The annual awards, held Thursday night in Victoria, recognize outstanding law enforcement officers for their bravery and dedication.This year, 106 officers from across the province received awards, including six New Westminster police officers who received the Meritorious Service Award. The New Westminster officers included acting Staff Sgt. Dwayne Raymond, Sgt. Josh Hooker, acting Sgt.Trevor Robinson, Det. Const. Chris Cecil, Sgt. Correa and Cpl.Wickham. These officers, along with Const. James Wertz from Coquitlam RCMP, received their award for closing a cold case. The investigation began Oct. 4, 1996. Dorothy Darnel, 80 years old at the time, was asleep in her bed when a man broke into her apartment at 310 Eighth St. and sexually assaulted her.The injuries to her head and face were so severe they rendered her unconscious, according to police. Darnel survived the attack and would go on to become an advocate for seniors’ safety. She died in December 2015 at 99 years old. The investigation into her assault, meanwhile, went cold. Police released a sketch of the suspect, who had been spotted fleeing

Darnel’s apartment building by responding officers, but he was never identified. It wasn’t until March 2016 that investigators would get the break they needed when a DNA sample was collected from the scene of a break-and-enter in Coquitlam.That sample matched the sample taken from the scene of Darnel’s attack. In May 2017, the New Westminster Police Department announced charges had been laid against 48-year-old James Gray of Vancouver. Gray was charged with aggravated sexual assault; breaking and entering; robbery; unlawful confinement; attempting to choke to overcome resistance; and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm. “We never gave up on it, we didn’t stop looking, and when that small piece of evidence came forward, the members stepped up,” said
New Westminster Chief Const. Dave Jones at the press conference in 2017. The six New Westminster police officers were among 57 officers to receive Meritorious Service Awards at the Police Honours Night. “We rely on the officers we honour tonight to do the difficult and dangerous work of protecting all that we hold dear, often without expressing the gratitude and the respect they so deserve,” said Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth in a press release. “Tonight’s awards allow us to recognize the officers who reach incredible lengths to fulfil their oaths to protect and serve their communities. On behalf of all British Columbians, we thank you for your bravery, courage and dedication to duty.” Gray never stood trial for his alleged crimes. He died in custody, awaiting trial in April of this year.

Opinion OUR VIEW
People need more options for buying cannabis
B.C. is getting its first-ever “cannabis professor” – which seems like a natural progression after Canada legalized pot last month. The newly created position at the University of B.C. will see a dedicated professor, M-J Milloy, overseeing clinical trials of cannabis in relation to opioid treatment. Milloy’s position is branded as the Canopy Growth Professor of Cannabis Science, and it comes partly because of a $2.5-million infusion from the canna-
bis research firm, Canopy Growth.The provincial government also contributed $500,000 to the program. “What we hope to achieve together is to minimize the harm that substance use may cause the Canadian society and to maximize the potential benefits of cannabis as a therapeutic treatment,” said Dr. MarkWare, chief medical officer with Canopy Growth. Hear that? The “potential benefits of cannabis as a therapeutic treatment.” We highlight this state-
ment to counter the fearmongering that’s come since pot became legal in Canada. Some people have reacted as though our society is about to descend into chaos. Such hysteria has made some people forget pot’s main benefits. People suffering from such diseases as cancer have found relief through cannabis. B.C. adding a pot prof is further proof that cannabis has real positive benefits. For example, some of the work done in Milloy’s
new role will seek to corroborate and further recent studies he’s been a part of. Research Milloy recently conducted showed that among 2,500 hard drug users in the Downtown Eastside, cannabis helped 20 per cent of those people stay with treatment after a sixmonth period. Some of Milloy’s research earlier in the decade showed those with HIV had significantly lower levels of the virus in their blood if they used cannabis once a day. “This was for me as close
to an eye-opening moment because it suggests cannabis was not simply about symptom management or about recreation,” Milloy said. “Indeed, it was addressing the fundamental disease process for people living with HIV. It opened my eyes.” So maybe stop acting like cannabis is a demon that will destroy Canadian society. We hope local politicians will also stop trying to “protect” us from cannabis by being so frustratingly cautious about how many can-
nabis stores will be allowed in our community. For now, private stores seem to be a non-starter, which seems just plain dumb. When the province allowed private liquor stores years ago, municipal politicians weren’t clutching their pearls the way they are over pot as they approved them. We’re not saying open the floodgates, but it’s time to loosen up and start allowing more options for people who want to use something that is now legal.
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
BCTF rhetoric is a bad sign for 2019
After 16 years of claiming the K-12 education system was starved for funding, the B.C.Teachers’ Federation was no doubt ecstatic to see the end of the BC Liberal government. There are signs, however, that it may not be all that pleased with the BC NDP’s performance when it comes to education policy – which could impact upcoming contract talks. The possibility of another strike by teachers when its contract expires next June cannot be discounted. Several potential trouble areas have come into view: total education funding, a new funding model and teachers’ salaries. The current issue of the BCTF magazine Teacher provides some clues about the union’s thinking on these issues. A key article co-written by BCTF president Glen Hansman expresses considerable alarm about the new education funding model. “Danger! Government Considering New Funding Model” screams the headline on the article, which says teachers should be “alarmed” about it. Hansman’s chief concern is if the model for students with special needs is turned on its head and switched from the current “identified needs” model to a “prevalence and predictive” model, which is a statistical model that would reflect special needs rates of the general population. The authors worry a predictive funding model could lead to fewer students getting help. The government is in-
deed considering changes to class composition issues (which captures the special needs issue), but the ministry insists any changes will be positive, improved ones. We shall see. The magazine also contains a graphic that purports to show the salary gap that exists between teachers in B.C. and those elsewhere in the country. According to the BCTF, B.C. ranks 12th when it comes to the minimum starting salary and 10th on the maximum. Matching the salaries in, say, Saskatchewan would require a salary increase of 15 to 20 per cent. Given the BCTF will be offered what every other public sector union is being offered – an annual two-per-cent increase for three years – one can see just how wide a gap there will be at the negotiating table when it comes to salaries. The NDP claims it added an annual $376 million to the education system. Yet that appears not to be enough to appease a number of BCTF members. The Surrey Teachers’ Association, for example, recently tweeted a letter to Education Minister Rob Fleming from a New Westminster teacher who insists the system remains vastly underfunded. In it, she muses that many teachers may stop donating to the NDP. Given the trouble that may lie ahead, losing some political donations may be the least of the NDP government’s problems when it comes to the BCTF. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

‘Trigger Happy’ loses to ‘Hyack’ It was a tough decision, but, in the end, the New Westminster Police Department decided not to call its new police dog Trigger Happy, Slaughter or LTB (Licence to Bite).Those were some of the names more than 2,700 local elementary school students submitted during a contest to name the department’s German shepherd. In the end, police went with Hyack, a name suggested by six of the kids who entered the contest.The department said the name paid respect to the city’s history and was unique for a police dog. In making the choice, the department had to reject many other creative suggestions, like Killer, Big Boss Man, Darth Vader, Jaws, Mad Dog and Fluffy.

City needs to add more Christmas lights on 12th Editor: Seven days ago, I called New Westminster city hall with an observation and request: Please put up some additional Christmas lighting/decorations on 12th Street. Why? Because what has been done for past Christmastimes consists of only a very pathetic string of lights wrapped around the light poles. Rather sad, don’t you think - especially when a couple/few years ago the city wasted no time in setting up the new parking meter system, which is likely generating even more revenue than the old system. I drove by the 6th and 6th area today - how lovely. Everyone is aware how beautiful Columbia Street looks when all decorated up for Christmastime. Then why is poor 12th Street left with presumably the last dregs of lighting - one sad little string of lights per light pole? I live in the area and would appreciate having additional decorations put up for Christmastime. I’m sure other residents - and the merchants, too would similarly appreciate some attention being given to poor old 12th Street. After all, my house taxes have only increased, so why can’t the city spend a bit more to pretty up 12th Street? Returning to my call to city hall seven days ago with my request, it was never returned. I called
back today and, after being shifted to a few different numbers, left yet another message asking for a reply about getting more Christmas lights on 12th Street. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get a response and who knows, maybe the city will put up more lights. B. Kendall, New Westminster
Rate hikes too expensive Editor: Re: New Westminster approves hikes to utilities for 2019, Record online, Nov. 21 With property taxes increasing at an alarming rate for last year, the headlines in the news of how utilities in New Westminster will be rising seven per cent to each of the water and sewer utilities (with similar increases projected annually until 2023) and a 12-per-cent hike to the solid waste utility (with another 12-per-cent increase projected in 2020 and eight-per-cent increases forecast in years 2021 to 2023) are very frustrating. Coincidentally, the article underneath this one has the headline “Big problem for B.C., one in five children growing up in poverty.” It isn’t just the kids who are affected, it is all of us who don’t receive pay increases that keep up with inflation or those who have fixed incomes. I realize the council sees New Westminster as a “business,” but don’t forget, real people live in this city. We are not just numbers on a spreadsheet who supply them with unlimited funds. I urge council to consider this. Mary Ivens, New Westminster

Q to Q saved from snag Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
When the Q to Q ferry hit a bit of a snag last week, Fraser River Pile and Dredge was quick to come to the rescue. Queensborough resident George Holm and his dog Zoe made their way to the dock for their regular morning ride to the Quay when he noticed that one of its mooring lines had fallen over the side and wound itself around the propeller. He says the ferry’s captain reached into the cold water to try and untangle the line but was unable to free it from the propeller. As luck would have it, Holm says a Fraser River Pile and Dredge tender for the large red dredging ship was at the dock to pick up a crew member. Its crew saw that the ferry captain was having a hard time dislodging the line and offered to help. “A cable was attached, and the ferry was lifted enough out of the water to allow Jim to cut most of the line away with a knife, but a piece was lodged tight, so a second cable was lowered to pull that away and the propeller was free again,” Holm reports. “The ferry was lowered back into the water and the motor restarted. No damage done.” What are the odds, Holm wonders, of a workboat with a crane to be out on the water early in the morning when another vessel needs a helping hand? “They just happened to be at the right place at the

right time,” he tells the Record. “It shows the cooperation between boats on the Fraser.That’s New Westminster.” Holm wasn’t in a rush to get to the Quay when the incident occurred about 7 a.m. on Tuesday, but he says a couple of morning commuters quickly made other arrangements to get to work. As it happened, he says the situation was quickly resolved with help from Fraser River Pile and Dredge, and the ferry was only 18 minutes late leaving for the Quay. According to the ferry operator, the Bowen Guardian sucked a line into its propeller, which stalled and disabled the boat on the morning of Nov. 13. “Fortunately, it happened
while docking, so the boat was able to safely tie to the dock.The skipper (Jim) noticed the tender tug to the FRPD dredge had a lifting A-frame style crane on its bow, as it happened to be going by on the river.Within minutes of the line getting into the propeller, FRPD had the stern of Guardian lifted with its A-frame crane and the skipper was able to remove the line out of the propeller easily.The Guardian only missed one sailing and the service was restored,” says a statement from the ferry operator. “The stranded customers on the dock were impressed and entertained by how smoothly the skipper and FRPD were able to execute this manoeuvre, safely and professionally.”
Staff to come up with rate options Continued from page 1 If the city is going to move way from its longtime practice of charging the same rate increases as those charged to BC Hydro customers, Johnstone said the city needs to have a fuller discussion. “This would be a departure from the city’s past practice in terms of rate setting for the electrical utility,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “This issue was raised with council earlier this year or last year, that this was a discussion that was going to be coming. I think it’s definitely an appropriate request to be getting more fulsome information and options regarding that. I know the utilities commission has

spent more time discussing this particular issue.” Instead of approving the electric utility rate increases with the other increases, council supported Johnstone’s motion to have staff report back to council with more options for rate increases in the five-year plan, including an option
that pegs the city’s electrical rates to the expected BC Hydro rates. “The rates don’t normally change until April, so there’s lots of time to come back and provide the report you are looking for with some other options,” said Colleen Ponzini, the city’s acting chief financial officer.

Arts leaders earn two top Platinum Awards and I’m extremely honoured with this recognition. I’m overwhelmed, that’s truly how I feel,” O’Shea said. Earning the top citizen honours is particularly special for O’Shea as a relative newcomer to the city; he moved here just five years ago with his wife, Becky Ninkovic, and their then-one-year-old daughter. “There’s a real openness in this community,” O’Shea said. “It touches my heart to know I’ve been so quickly and warmly embraced, and completely embraced, by this community. I think it speaks to the strength of the character of NewWestminster that people are included here, all people. I feel like anyone that comes can be woven into the fabric of this community.” O’Shea began his career here with Fraserside Community Services in its Horizons program for adults with developmental disabilities, with a mandate to build inclusion. “To be given an Active Living Guide and told, ‘Go be in the community,’ it was a perfect fit for me for the job, and a perfect fit to discover NewWestminster right off the bat, how the community functions and what it has to offer,” he said. “I was given the opportunity to discover it and build relationships with this community.” Those relationships, he said, helped him slide into the job he took on in 2015, as executive director of the arts council. O’Shea is proud of new events such as Music by the River, which has grown into a major event each summer atWestminster Pier Park. He attributes a huge part of his success with the arts council, and the arts council’s growth, to his partnership with Ewen. “She is a tireless volunteer as president. She has been with me every step of the way in my time as executive director,” he said. “It’s been just incredible to work alongside her.” Ewen, in turn, said working with O’Shea has been a special partnership right from the beginning.

Individually, they’re passionate and dedicated and committed to their community. Together, they’re unstoppable. Stephen O’Shea and Leanne Ewen made it a double win for the Arts Council of NewWestminster at last Thursday’s Platinum Awards, as O’Shea picked up the Citizen of theYear award and Ewen earned the Bernie Legge Cultural Award. O’Shea is the arts council’s executive director and Ewen is the president of its board. “It is incredible that with these Platinum Awards, that Leanne wins the Bernie Legge Award and I win the Citizen of theYear Award. It really speaks to the health of the arts council and the strength of the arts community,” O’Shea said, speaking to the Record Friday morning. “Our mandate is bringing community together through the arts, and I
To be recognized together is extremely meaningful think we do that every single day. To be recognized together is extremely meaningful.” Ewen, who admitted she was still “floating on a cloud” from the night before, agreed. “I’m particularly thrilled for the arts council; we’ve worked so hard. We’ve created a place and space for the arts in our city, and for the arts council,” she said. “I think we’ve also made a difference in the lives of our community. …We’re using this for a bigger dream than just the arts; it’s to bring community together and create connections that we so desperately need in our society.” O’Shea was still reeling from the surprise of hearing his own name announced for Citizen of theYear. “I’m blown away, I’m amazed,
FOR THE LOVE OF THE ARTS: Stephen O’Shea and Leanne Ewen, executive director and president of the Arts Council of New Westminster, respectively, won two of the big awards at the New Westminster Platinum Awards last week: O’Shea is Citizen of the Year, and Ewen won the Bernie Legge Award for contributions arts and culture.

“It’s the kind of relationship that doesn’t come along very often. We just connected right away on a really deep level,” she said. “We build on each other and we bring those ideas to the board, and then the board jumps in with their ideas, and then the members and the artists and the community and city council … Oh my gosh, it’s like concentric circles.” Ewen said O’Shea has been the driving force behind all the positive strides the arts council has taken over the last few years. “His passion has taken the ideas of the arts council and made them come alive,” she said. “It’s been just incredible to work with him.” But she’s quick to note that O’Shea’s commitment to the community extends far beyond the arts council. “Really, he’s everywhere,” she said with a laugh. “He so deserves that Citizen of theYear award.” O’Shea said he’s been pleased
to be able to take on some behindthe-scenes roles in the same spirit of building community. Among those roles, he serves on the board of directors of PechaKucha New West, which has grown into a thriving speaker series with 21 events under its belt to date. He’s also the volunteer chair of the city’s public art advisory committee, a job that’s near and dear to his heart. “I think public art needs champions in our city, and people to really believe in the grand statements of those pieces,” he said. O’Shea is quick to note there’s no way he’d be able to devote so much time to the community without the support of his wife, who is an artist working out of 100 Braid Street Studios. “She’s so patient, so understanding and so supportive of me,” O’Shea said. “I really could not be the person that I am without the support and the fantastic mother

that she is.” Meanwhile, O’Shea has a new goal: to earn himself the “Father of theYear” nod next year from the soon-to-be-six-year-oldVera. “When I was up watching the Hyack Parade last year, my daughter turned to me and she asked, ‘How come my friendViolet gets to be in the parade?” O’Shea said with a laugh – noting that the friend in question is, of course,Violet Cote, a.k.a. daughter of Mayor Jonathan Cote. “My daughter turned to me and said, ‘Dad, next year, you’re going to make sure I’m in the parade with you.’” He didn’t know how he was going to make that happen – but now he does, since the Citizen of theYear gets a chance to take part. “I’m just thrilled because now I’ll get that opportunity to be in the parade,” he said with a laugh. Platinum Awards are nice and all. But earningVera’s approval? That’s priceless.

Women dominated the Platinum Awards on Thursday night, taking home two of the three top honours. The annual awards, which recognize businesses’ and individuals’ achievements and contributions to the community, were handed out at an annual gala event held at Starlight Casino. Organized by the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce, this year there were 13 categories up for grabs, including Citizen of theYear, Business Person of theYear, Bernie Legge Cultural/Artist of theYear, Larry Tamkin Community Spirit, Customer Service Excellence, Home-Based Business of theYear, New Business of theYear, Community Spirit Award, Green Business of theYear, Innovator of theYear, Not-forProfit of theYear, Entrepreneur of theYear Under 40, and Lifetime Achievement Award – 50Years in Business.

The other nominees were Karima Jivraj, owner of Bosley’s PetValu at Columbia Square;VivienWong, manager of Precious EarlyYears Childcare; and Trudi Goels, director of operations, Billard Architecture.

Another NewWestminster resident well known in the arts community also took home the coveted Citizen of theYear award.That was Stephen O’Shea, executive director of the Arts Council of NewWestminster. (See story page 13.) HONOURING THE PEOPLE ‘BEHIND THE SCENES’ This year’s Platinum Awards also recognized the first recipient of the Larry Tamkin Community Spirit
Award, an award sponsored by local resident and lawyer Dale Darychuk in honour of the man most residents knew as theWoodward’s and Royal City Centre Santa Claus.The Larry Tamkin Award recognizes those who work tirelessly behind the scenes for the love of the community and for their exceptional contribution to the welfare of residents of New Westminster. The inaugural award was given posthumously to Bill Radbourne, who passed away last October. Born and raised in Sapperton, Radbourne made his mark on the Royal City
in a myriad of ways. He worked for the NewWestminster Fire Department more than 38 years, starting the department’s first Boot Drive and pub crawl for muscular dystrophy. He was also involved with a variety of organizations, including the Remembrance Day committee, the Ancient and Honourable Hyack Battery, the Hyack Festival Association, the MasseyVictory Heights Residents’ Association, the B.C. and Alberta Guide Dogs, and the New WestminsterYouth Ambassador Society. In 2010, he was named Citizen of theYear.

B.C.’s natural gas supply may be limited this winter
Reduce your use Due to the rupture of the Enbridge-owned natural gas transmission pipeline earlier this fall, B.C.’s natural gas supply will be restricted this winter. Even though the line is now repaired, it’s operating at a lower capacity and will be transporting a reduced amount of natural gas to FortisBC this winter. We’re doing everything we can to ensure all our customers receive the natural gas they need. You can help by reducing your use. Every bit you save helps ensure we have the natural gas to keep homes warm and businesses working. fortisbc.com/reduceyouruse
New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY November 29, 2018 17
Why we need to conserve natural gas this winter
If the Enbridge-owned natural gas transmission pipeline is repaired why isn’t it business as usual?
Enbridge expects their pipeline system to transport up to 85 per cent of its full capacity following approval from the National Energy Board (NEB). Engineering assessments will continue on Enbridge’s system until they receive approval from the NEB to return to 100 per cent capacity. During this period, our supply will be limited when demand is at the highest, such as an extended cold snap.
Here’s how you can help Conservation will ensure we can provide the natural gas our customers need this winter. And with more than one million customers, a little conservation can go a long way. Here’s how you can help: Turn down the heat at home: if just 11 homes set their thermostat 3 °C lower for when they need heat, it could save enough natural gas to provide heat and hot water for one home for a year.1
Savings are approximate, assuming a thermostat setback of an additional three degrees Celsius for when heat is needed in a natural gas heated 2,300 - 2,600 square foot home located in a FortisBC service area. On average, a home this size consumes 90 gigajoules of natural gas annually.
1
Assumes an additional setback of three degrees Celsius for 10 hours each weekday, saving 90 gigajoules of natural gas over the heating season, enough to heat one average sized home for a year.

FortisBC Energy Inc. uses the FortisBC name and logo under license from Fortis Inc. (18-311.34 11/2018)
Turn down the heat at work: if a 23,000 square foot office set its thermostat 3 °C lower during office hours, it could save enough natural gas to provide heat and hot water for one home for a year.2 Take shorter showers: save hot water by shortening your showers by two minutes.

Community Cartwright helps out CKNW Kids Fund for Christmas Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Cartwright Jewelers is proud of its annual Christmas campaign that helps kids across British Columbia. Every year, the NewWestbased jewelry store raises funds for the CKNW Kids Fund (formerly the CKNW Orphans Fund), which has been raising money to help B.C. kids living with physical, mental and social challenges for more than 70 years. “It is still the same amazing organization, still doing the same amazing work throughout the Lower Mainland, the Island and beyond,” said Susan Cartwright-Coates, owner of Cartwright Jewelers. “The
Kids Fund is also part of the Pink Shirt anti-bullying initiative in February.” In the past 19 years, Cartwright Jewelers has sold canned critters, stuffed bears, Christmas ornaments and, for the past three years, snow globes for $10 each. All proceeds go to the CKNW Kids Fund. “We started in 2000.This means this is our 19th year supporting the Kids Fund. If we include this year, because I believe we will sell out, we will have raised $162,000 for the fund – $10 at a time,” said CartwrightCoates. “It feels good.” The snow globes went on sale on Nov. 13 – and are going fast. “This is the third year running we have done snow globes, but they are always
different.This year’s – one has a snowman, one has a reindeer and one has a teddy bear inside the snow globe and they are sitting on an ice skate,” said Cartwright-Coates. “They are super cute.”
We will have raised $162,000 for the fund – $10 at a time
The snow globes are hot sellers, selling out in the first week of December for the past two years. “Usually my first call comes in August or Sep-
tember,” Cartwright-Coates said of calls about the snow globes. “They always go on sale the day after Remembrance Day that we are open.This year it happened to be Nov. 13 – and literally the first person who was standing at the door when we opened at 9:30 a.m. was here to get their snow globe because they missed out last year.” For the $10 donation to the CKNW Kids Fund, Cartwright-Coates said people get a snow globe that’s packaged and gift ready. “With every purchase we enter your name into a draw for a $2,000 diamond pendant,” she said. “We max out at 1,000, so your odds are better of winning that than just about anything.”

New Westminster police officers face off for Movember A battle of the best bristle baton is brewing over at the New Westminster Police Department. Two police officers have spent most of the month working on their ’staches to raise money and awareness about men’s health. Cpl. Sanjay Kumar and Const. Steven Hildebrand are participating in the annual fundraiser that takes place every November. The officers, along with men around the world, are growing moustaches in support of the Movember Foundation, a group focused on improving men’s health “through projects focused on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention,” according to a press release. “What got me involved in Movember was the change in perspective as I saw those I care about face some complex men’s health issues,” Kumar said in the release. “Talking about our own personal health and mental health can be a challenge for

ASK A NATUROPATH
Q A
I get tired, headachy, and acne breakouts every month before my cycle, is this normal?
I get this question frequently in my naturopathic practice. These complaints are part of a group of symptoms loosely termed premenstrual syndrome DR. STEPHANIE PELTZ, ND (PMS). They are very common, but not necessarily normal. Other symptoms include breast tenderness, food cravings, altered mood, changes in digestion, and more. To be considered PMS they must strike any time in the last 10 days of a menstrual cycle. In a healthy woman, several hormones fluctuate in a specific pattern every month. However, if any of them rise too high, drop too low, or change too fast, then PMS symptoms may occur. These complaints are a sign that the hormones are out of balance. I use laboratory tests to assess these hormones, and I give dietary, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations that are very effective in reducing and eliminating PMS symptoms.

Q A
Do I really need my own Realtor® to buy a home these days?
You still have a choice to be unrepresented, but using the same agent to represent both the buyer and seller is no longer an option except in some rural areas of DERRICK THORNHILL the province. The Real Estate Council Park Georgia Realty of BC has made some very aggressive changes to our practice including the banning of dual agency. So, yes you do need your own Realtor® unless you are willing to concede many commonly assumed obligations to you as a buyer. Obligations such as confidentiality, motivation, even financial means. If you are shopping for a home without an agent by your side and bump into just the right place, call me, I would be thrilled to represent your interests, even on short notice.

MEDICAL ESTHETICS - KATIE MARSHALL
The science of maintaining and restoring healthy skin is called Corneotherapy. Corneotherapy is the science of restoring and maintaining healthy skin. Corneotherapy refers to therapeutic interventions aimed at repairing stratum corneum barriers impaired through dermatologic disorders such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, irritant allergic contact dermatitis and chronic alipidic skin. This therapy is centered around the science of corneobi¬ology, which is focused on the anatomy, physiology and biology of the stratum corneum. Corneobiology encompasses disciplines including immunology, endocrinology and psychology, all of which have a connection to the central nervous system. In the past, estheticians, doctors and researchers believed that the stratum corneum was simply a graveyard for dead skin cells with no true purpose. In the 1960s, Professor A. Kligman discovered that the stratum corneum, and the lipid barrier that keeps it intact like mortar in a brick wall, played a much bigger role in the health of our skin. The stratum corneum sends a multitude of signals to the living epidermis below it, which influences the regenerative processes in the deeper layers of the skin. They realized that healthy lipid barrier and stratum corneum equals healthy skin, and Professor Kligman coined the term “Corneotherapy” described as a new philosophy regarding skin care. Traditionally estheticians are taught to scrub, peel and use harsh microdermabrasion treatments to remove this layer to reveal the fresh, glowing skin underneath. What they don’t tell you, is by removing this outer most protective layer, inflammation will set in followed by redness. The deeper layers of skin remain in a state of “fight or flight,” constantly defending themselves against external toxins, bacteria, and water loss. Skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, dry skin, and dermatitis can be caused by an impaired skin barrier that will need more treatments and products to correct. At Medical Esthetics by Katie, I respect the epidermis by recommending a slower approach to skin correction that encourages healthy cell renewal that is long lasting. I do not promote aggressive modalities or radical treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or improper use of lasers that continually shock the skin into a temporary state of repair to restore appearance.

Q A
What is a Microcurrent Facial?
Microcurrent is known to be the most effective nonsurgical method to take years off of your face. We have electrical charges pulsating throughout our bodies. Microcurrent KATIE MARSHALL mimics the body’s own natural bio electrical field and sends tiny electrical currents to our muscles. It’s like yoga for your face! Microcurrent is a low level of electricity that triggers chemical reactions at a cellular level (ATP production) in order to enhance the production of natural collagen and elastin, provide circulatory benefits, and re-educate over 30 muscles of the face. With a series of weekly treatments, the result is immediate firming, smoothing, reduce puffiness, and re-hydration of the skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Microcurrent lifts, sculpts and tightens, provides immediate results, and has no downtime. It’s great for all skin types too!

What is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)?
SAD is a type of major depressive disorder, and sufferers may exhibit any of the associated symptoms, such as feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, thoughts of suicide, loss of interest in activities, WENDY J SCOTT withdrawal from social interaction, RN, BScN, MA sleep and appetite problems, difficulty with concentration and decisions, decreased sex drive, a lack of energy, or agitation. Symptoms of winter SAD often include oversleeping or difficulty waking up in the morning, nausea, and a tendency to over eat, often with a craving for carbohydrates, which leads to weight gain. SAD is typically associated with winter depression, but springtime lethargy or other seasonal mood patterns are not uncommon. Although each individual case is different, in contrast to winter SAD, people who experience spring and summer depression may be more likely to show symptoms such as insomnia, decreased appetite and weight loss, and agitation or anxiety.

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
A new community project in NewWestminster aims to build community and help chase the chill away this winter. Dee Cavanagh is spearheading Chase the Chill in NewWestminster, a project that will see handcrafted toques and scarves distributed in public places around the community during a yarnbombing event in December. Launched in Easton, Pennsylvania in 2008, Chase the Chill has spread to cities in the United States and Canada.
I’d like to target homeless people. “I do a lot of knitting and crocheting and I’m on a lot of knitting sites. Somehow I came across this one, Chase the Chill inWinnipeg,” she said. “I thought that would be interesting here.” After pondering the idea for a bit, Cavanagh decided to go for it and contacted Chase the Chill to get some more information. “I thought it would be interesting to do. It’s helping other people. I do so much knitting – I don’t know what to do with all my stuff,” she laughed. “My sisters
told me, ‘Don’t make me any more scarves.’ I had so many – I thought what am I going to do with them all? I could just donate them but thought this would be a neat idea.” Cavanagh is now looking for volunteers to knit or crochet scarves, which will be placed on trees, fences and other places for people to claim at a to-be-determined date in December. “One lady already gave me some of her stuff,” she said. “She is just like me – she says she doesn’t know what to do with them all.” So far, Cavanagh has assembled a collection of about 40 handmade scarves and toques. “I know my daughterin-law is going to do something,” she said. “My husband has done some knitting – he taught himself how to loom knit. He has made a couple of toques already.” Cavanagh’s mom taught her to crochet when she was just a child, and she took up knitting about 30 years ago when her own kids where young. She hasn’t set a goal of how many toques and scarves she wants to distribute through Chase the Chill, but the more the merrier. “The one inWinnipeg, they said they started out with 66. Last year they got 700. I won’t get that many,” said Cavanagh. “You can put up as many as you want – it doesn’t matter.”
Everyone is welcome to help themselves to the handmade items regardless of income, but Cavanagh hopes some of them will go to local homeless folks. “I am not sure yet. I’d like to target homeless people. I was thinking downtown somewhere.You tie them around trees and stuff like that,” she said. “A tag goes on each one. It says, take this scarf if you are cold or if you want it. It’s supposed to be for anybody.” For more info, contact Cavanagh on the Chase the Chill NewWestminster page on Facebook or at chasethechillnewwestmin ster@gmail.com.

The awards and recognition these business and community leaders have earned are evidence of the truest hallmark of success: the loyalty and respect of customers, and a reputation here in New Westminster and beyond. We have collected their stories here to share a taste of what they do and why they do it, and most of all, to recognize their commitment to excellence. We are excited to give our readers a glimpse into the lives of these entrepreneurs and professionals, who call New Westminster their home.

position, let alone work that is fulfilling. The process can be discouraging without guidance, and people don’t know where to start. “People say the same things: I have no money, I can’t afford that, I have no time – instead of taking the time to think, breathe, reflect and dream of what they really want. Do not waste your time and money making less than you’re worth.” Furber sees herself as a guide, with knowledge and expertise, to help people find their own way. “Excellence means giving the right tools and strategies to ensure success in achieving their life and career goals,” she said. “I hold the
‘‘
now your worth. Find your niche. Love your work. Realize your dreams. For many people, these are goals that sound wonderful – but all too often impossible. For an unemployed professional, who may be battling low confidence while struggling to find a job for the first time in their career, these goals can feel like a slap in the face. Winnie Furber of A.I.P. Services Inc. has experienced this first-hand. “I’ve had clients come in very angry, determined that they don’t have enough experience or education. Some of these people have Masters degrees or PhDs. It’s ridiculous. What they need are the right tools to market themselves to an employer.” That’s where Furber comes in, with a program that focuses on not just getting a job, but renewing her clients’ confidence and their excitement for the future. They may come in discouraged and uncertain, but they leave inspired and confident. Furber loves the transformation. “I have the same amount of passion, excitement and commitment I had the first day I began my career,” she said. “I worked as an employment counsellor for over 10 years, and I believe there is a real need for this. When employers are travelling to other Winnie Furber, Owner countries to seek A.I.P. Services Inc. out talent, and we have talent in our own backyard, I think there is a total disconnect. That’s why I started my own company, to address those gaps for professionals.” Furber specializes in helping professionals from all backgrounds, including new immigrants, new university or college graduates, professionals returning to their career, and professionals who want to advance. They often have one thing in common: they are used to making a high income and being sought by employers, and are in uncharted waters searching for work. Furber knows how her clients feel, because she’s been there. “I’ve walked in their shoes. I emigrated to a country where I didn’t know the language, didn’t have my credentials recognized, and didn’t have the right experience. When I came back to Canada, I had to start from scratch. Within a month I was working at the most prestigious employment agency in Vancouver.” Often, she says, people have bad advice or old wisdom that simply won’t serve them to finding a new
client’s hand all the way through the program, but I expect accountability. People take 100% responsibility for their lives.” Her workshops are based on the Azrin Method – learn, then do – and her clients leave the program with a full toolbox, including branded resumes and cover letters, networking scripts, and information about salary negotiations. However, it’s “doing” that makes all the difference, and brings back the confidence and excitement to take charge of their career. Furber notes that she hosts regular orientations to give potential clients an overview of her program.

or Tahora Eslahian and Tina Ruggiero, there’s no better magic than the ability to transform how a client feels, inside and out. The duo owns Triniti Laser Clinic and Medi Spa in New Westminster, which has re-located into a revitalized heritage house on Sixth Street. Being able to offer top-notch services in a beautiful environment is something the pair is ecstatic about – but it’s the impact that their work has on each client that makes them so proud of the work they do. “People sometimes think of what we do as being about the outside, but what we see is clients who feel great on the inside because of what we can do for them,” said Tahora Eslahian, who owns Triniti along with Tina Ruggiero. “That’s the best part of this work – you may have a client who comes in with acne, for example, who is feeling upset and insecure about that but we can find solutions for them.” The clinic offers an array of services, including laser
treatments to help with skin conditions and anti-aging, body contouring, laser hair removal, medical facials, permanent makeup, reflexology and more. Some services are aimed at treating current issues, others at prevention, and still others – such as hair removal – can simply make life simpler and easier for a client. Other services are focused on providing relaxation, balance, and general wellness. No matter what services a client comes to Triniti looking for, or if they are a long-time customer or a first time visitor, the focus on excellence is the same. “The level of service we have here is the best, hands down,” said Eslahian. “It’s all medically influenced, it’s the best technology, the most effective tools and techniques.” That approach has helped the company grow by leaps and bounds over the years as loyal customers continue to return, but also recommend Triniti to their friends and family.

We treat our clients like family.
“Word of mouth has been the primary way we have grown and we love knowing that someone has recommended us,” she said. The move into the new space has been an exciting evolution for the business. “We renovated a beautiful heritage home on Sixth Street – it’s three levels, a beautiful large space. From the outside it looks a house but inside we have quite a number of treatment rooms and it’s a beautiful place to be able to work with our customers.” Both Eslahian and Ruggiero have substantial

experience in the field; Ruggiero is a certified laser technician with more than a decade of experience, and Eslahian has served as a trainer in laser treatments across North America. “We have great expertise but we are always learning, too,” said Eslahian. “We want to know we always have the best techniques and tools, and that we are educated about the best ways to help our clients. We treat our clients like family – if there’s a service that I wouldn’t do to myself, or to my family or to my best friend, then I won’t perform it on a client.” SPONSORED CONTENT

aving been in real estate for 16 years now, Darcy – head of ReThink Real Estate Group – understands market shifts and the highs and lows of the industry. She got her start in 2004, and then saw her business boom in the low market of 2008, because it offered so many deals for young buyers. This last year has seen a similar shift and provided an opportunity for Darcy and her team at ReThink to refocus on being the best in three key areas: service, presentation, and all things New Westminster. Darcy says her priority is always to do the best for the client no matter what the market is doing: working harder and giving more to help people seize unique opportunities, whether it’s to move to another city, to downsize or upsize, or to invest. “All market dips are when the bravest and often richest people on the planet make their moves,” she said. “This is a time when you need a highly intelligent agent or team working for you. Someone who knows the numbers, how to present a home to a specific market, rental vacancy rates, trends and can offer inhouse staging like ReThink can.” In practical terms that means the team has the capacity to take a listing from “zero to 100” in 48 hours, with in-house staging that allows them to work directly with a variety of tradespeople, gardeners,
photographers, and more to create the best presentation for a sale. “Challenging markets are just that – a challenge. Having happy clients who believe in their move in this market is a win,” she said. “There are no losses, just strong informed lateral moves, or gains when it’s a choice.” For Darcy and her team, there’s no better place than New Westminster to be in business. “We believe in the city, our heritage, our houses, our people, our community, our spirit and tradition – that’s what ReThink Real Estate Group is all about,” she said. “Highs or lows, this is still New West and we are a boom town regardless.” No matter what comes, and no matter how the market or the city changes, there’s one constant that has always shaped Darcy’s approach: providing excellence in client care, on every level and helping each person through

the process with whatever unique needs they have. “You have to be ahead of what’s going on, where is the market going, what do people want and need,” she said. “That varies from year to year, from client to client, so it’s a constant re-evaluation. We’re always asking ourselves what else can we do, what can we do different, what can we do better? But no matter what, it’s always about the client. Always. This business is really about doing the right thing and helping however you can.” Most of ReThink’s new clients come from word-of-mouth referrals, which is gratifying for

Darcy and her team. “There are lots of options in this industry and if someone recommends you, it’s because you did what you set out to do for them,” she said “I want my customers to feel total contentment about the work we did for them.” Focusing on others is a philosophy that doesn’t just apply to customers, but to her team, her family and her community. “At the end of the day, it’s about people. People come first, whether it’s your customers, your colleagues, your family, your neighbours. When you put people first, the rest falls into place.” SPONSORED CONTENT

elping people, regardless of the field, requires knowledge, passion, and empathy. For Karen Nichol, there’s another ingredient – one that not only led her to a successful path as a physiotherapist, but continues to guide her approach with every patient: personal experience, as a patient. “I was a very active growing up. I played competitive basketball and college basketball, and so I had quite a few injuries along the way,” she recalls. “And I just had this fascination with the human body, how it operated, how it restored itself. Having the experience of working with a good physiotherapist and discovering what a huge impact that could have really changed me.” Those memories continue to guide Nichol today as much as they did at the beginning of her career. “It really does come down to listening, to really seeing each client as an individual and hearing their story – what’s happened to them, how does it impact them, what are their goals, what do they need right now?” she said. “The number 1 priority is quality of care for each of our clients – listening, a thorough assessment, top-notch care.” Nichol opened Royal City Physio almost six years ago, building on a long career of working with a wide
spectrum of clients. In particular, her work with athletes of all levels – including professional athletes, NHL players, and serving as chief physiotherapist for Team Canada’s lacrosse team in both 2007 and 2011 World Championships, to name just a few - had earned her a sterling reputation that continues to build on itself. These days, she continues to work one-on-one with clients, while also fostering and mentoring a new generation of physiotherapists at her clinic. “I love my team – these are amazing individuals who are so dedicated, and I love that I can help mentor them,” she said. “Everyone has different interests, areas of focus that they may want to specialize in, or unique backgrounds that help them with particular clients, and so I really enjoy guiding that and supporting them in their growth.” It’s an approach that continues to grow the Royal City Physio reputation and Nichol says she’s looking forward to the coming years.
‘‘
The number 1 priority is quality of care for each of our clients.
“New Westminster is such a wonderful place. I started my career here and it’s been an amazing journey to continue growing here with my own clinic. This community is so supportive, and when we see people referring their friends, family, their children, it’s just so rewarding,” she says. “I have a vision for the clinic, and we plan to be here and growing for a long time.” No matter what the future brings, one thing will remain a constant: giving the best care to every single person who comes through their door. “We’re able to adapt quickly to those unique needs – we might have someone

who is a retired senior who wants to get back out into their garden, and the next client is a professional athlete that needs to get out on the field as quickly as possible because that’s their career,” she said. “Those are very different needs, different goals, but they both get the same care, the same attention, every single time.” For Nichol, it’s exciting to see her clinic grow and to be looking ahead – but the most rewarding part of her day will always be the same: knowing she’s made a difference for someone. “It’s the best part of this work, to help someone feel better.”

f there’s one word to describe Stacey Firth, it’s passionate. Or energetic, enthusiastic, happy, strong, and motivated. And her goal is to help every single woman who comes in the door at 30 Minute Hit feel exactly the same way she does. “I started this business because I honestly felt that every woman needs this feeling in their life, and we are here to bring that to them,” said Firth. She should know: her own experience at 30 Minute Hit was what led her to open the New Westminster location. She was working in commercial real estate when she went in for a free 30-minute trial session in another community. “I can remember being in there and knowing I had to open one,” she said. “I had tried tons of different fitness programs and this was the only one that gave me this truly intoxicating feeling of empowerment, confidence, and truly delivered on the results I wanted pretty much right away. I wanted every woman to have access to that same feeling.” Six weeks after that initial workout, she had officially decided to open a 30 Minute Hit – and eight years later, she’s still in love with the workout and the opportunity to work with other women. 30 Minute Hit is unique in the fitness field: it’s a high intensity boxing/kickboxing circuit workout designed specifically for women. Firth says it’s a fast paced,
challenging and empowering workout that appeals to all fitness levels, in a non-intimidating and friendly environment. “I love everything about the workout, the environment and how it makes me feel,” she said. “I love how I feel energized, beautiful and strong after every session. I can honestly say that I am at my absolute happiest when dripping in sweat, surrounded by other amazing women doing the same thing.” “We’re a welcoming place, you don’t have to be nervous,” she said. “We’re full of women of all shapes, sizes, and fitness levels and we’re all there for the same reason. You’ll find a whole new version of yourself that you didn’t even know was inside of you when you start the HIT. Firth gives credit to her staff for their dedication and commitment.

“My wonderful team of instructors are one of a kind,” she said. “The effort that they all put into their roles is outstanding. Our goal, as a team, is that each and every single member that walks in knows that they matter to us.” She notes that all of the instructors started as members, and understand what newcomers feel like. “They know what everyone goes through from starting with their free trial nerves, to getting better at their skills, to seeing their results,” she said. “Most of all, they have the passion that makes all the difference.

I really love the community and the small-town feel that New West has,” she said. “Everyone that lives in New West are noticeably proud to be a part of this vibrant little city and I absolutely love it.

S
ometimes, a single day can change one’s path forever, leading to new and unexpected experiences – and the chance to help change the lives of others in the process. For Julie Joyal, that day was the first time she experienced the benefits of Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure®. “I had been a personal trainer and martial artist for almost 20 years in Vancouver and New Westminster,” she says. “I had a fellow martial artist who studied Jin Shin Do® say, ‘Hey, why don’t you come onto my table after class, and give it a try.” The experience was unforgettable. “I floated home, feeling deeply relaxed and connected after that session. Everything looked like it was highlighted with a silver highlighter – so shimmery and sparkling,” she recalls. “I couldn’t explain it. That was my first conscious experience with Ki, or Qi – Life Energy.” Now, Joyal hopes to allow others to have their own experiences that come from relaxation. She’s the owner of the New Westminster location of Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure®, which is a registered organization operating in 20 countries worldwide and founded by Iona Marsaa Teeguarden
(see jinshindo.org). According to Teeguarden, there is no stronger conductor of Ki in the world than the human hand, and her no-needle approach to wellness and relaxation uses gentle yet deep finger pressure on specific acu-points and verbal body focusing techniques to help release “armoring” or chronic tension, balance the Ki/energy, and improve vitality. “It helps relieve stress- and trauma-related problems,” says Joyal. “Words cannot explain the feelings and experiences that come with complete relaxation.” She notes being unable to relax or release tension can keep an individual from experiencing the “magic that makes life a sovereign celebration and expression of our uniqueness” and points to the Taoist belief that there are as many ways to live life as there are people. Doing this work with clients and seeing the impact it has on their individual lives is deeply rewarding and exciting, she says. “I want my clients to be able to say ‘Wow, I never

knew I could feel so connected and so relaxed. My mind is my best friend and is so peaceful.’” The process is a powerful one, she says, for creating mind-body-spirit balance. “I want everyone to understand the importance of valuing ourselves, our feelings, our tensions, our stories,” she said. Joyal notes that the relaxation therapy is a useful adjunct to licensed, qualified medical or psychological care, and not intended for the diagnosis, treatment or cure of disease. When used in conjunction with standard medical treatment, the Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® technique can assist the healing

Tierney, who owns the local franchise with his wife Lacey, says that philosophy has been a guiding force since they opened their doors. “Every customer is important, and you treat them that way,” he said. “To me, it’s a matter of being able to offer my expertise – I want a customer to use my knowledge and experience to help them make decisions. When I come into someone’s home and I can use what I know to help them save time, money, and to give them something that fits their unique needs, that’s what it’s all about.” Even if a customer opts not to purchase from him after the complimentary in-house consultation, it’s rewarding to know he has offered help and guidance. “I’m happy knowing I’ve given them information, and that they’ve been able to use my expertise,” he said. The company, which opened in New Westminster five years ago, offers a huge spectrum of window treatments, including shutters, blinds, draperies, and shades, which allows them to provide creative Budget Blinds owners, Clay and Lacey and custom Tierney with their two children. solutions for people. “One of the best parts is that we have relationships with vendors that you can’t get anywhere else, so we can provide unique products that you won’t see elsewhere,” he said. “I love coming in and being able to show people what we can offer and they’re blown away by the options.” While the company does a significant amount of private residential work, they also offer services for commercial and retail locations. Increasingly, there’s also a demand for products that use motorization and automation. “We’re really on the leading edge of that,” he said, noting that these products may include apps, timers, remotes and other technology to fit the customer’s needs. But no matter what is being installed, from the simplest of blinds to the most modern of high-tech solutions, helping a customer beautify their home and
The goal now, says Tierney is to continue growing their reputation and maintaining and exceeding expectations from both prior and new customers. “One of the great things about us is our warranty, which really tops everything else out there: it’s a no questions asked five-year warranty,” he said. “And we really mean that. It’s quite unique.” Ultimately, the secret to success, is offering excellence to each customer. “You need to have incredible customer service and a quality product,” he said. “Plain and simple.”

t’s all about people. For Ian Kinman, the owner and senior lawyer at Kinman & Associates, the only way to provide top-notch legal services is to listen to each client, to help them through the process with consistent communication, and to have a team of staff whose expertise keeps things running smoothly at every step. “It’s really about client service,” he said. “Many people only need legal services every few years, or once or twice in their life, so it’s important to remember that the process may be unfamiliar to them. We really do try to make our clients feel happy and comfortable.” The full service law firm focuses on a variety of areas, such as personal injury, civil and commercial litigation, corporate and commercial transactions, family law and more. “We offer legal services in the most common areas a person might have need for help, with the kinds of problems that the day-to-day person might encounter,” he said. As well, the organization provides legal services for a number of small to large companies. The firm was created in 2007, but grew out of Baumgartel & Gould, a law firm that had been serving New Westminster since 1960, and where Ian had been practicing as a lawyer for many years.
In all, he’s had three decades in the Royal City. “It’s wonderful to have been in the community for so long,” he said. “You really get to know people, and to develop those relationships with clients.” Ian notes that one of the unique aspects of his firm is the diversity of its staff: he himself was born overseas, and has travelled to more than 130 countries, and he has staff members who speak Korean, Punjabi, Mandarin, French and more. “That can provide familiarity and comfort for clients, many of whom are first or second generation Canadians,” he said. “It really goes a long way in making them feel good about the process.” Ian says he’s focused on ensuring consistent communication. “I often take over files from other firms, and I’m quite struck by how little the former lawyer may have done to keep the client appraised of what’s going on,” he

said. “That’s important to me, that someone feels knowledgeable and understands what’s happening next. We do our best to keep the clients involved in what’s going on with their files along the way.” Ian credits his team for helping to create the strong reputation at the firm. “I have a wonderful team – many of them having been working closely with me for many years,” he said. “One of my paralegals has been here for 16 years. They’re all very dedicated and knowledgeable in what they do.”

Most of the new clients who come to them do so through word of mouth, says Ian. “That’s always so rewarding, to know that someone has recommended you to others,” he said. “And then when we see a client come back themselves, for a new item they need help with, that tells us we’ve done our job right. When a client is satisfied, and their issue has been resolved, and we’ve been able to provide expertise and guidance in a way that has left the client happy, that’s when we know we’ve provided excellence service.” SPONSORED CONTENT

community within a community – that’s what Oxygen Yoga and Fitness has created in their Columbia Street location since opening four years ago. Oxygen has fast become a favourite home-base for yoga and fitness enthusiasts of all ages in the Royal City, which itself has a special place in the hearts and lives of its owners. “That whole notion of community and what that means has always been important to us, but it really comes together here (in Oxygen) in such a unique way,” said Kelly Ranford. Ranford and Oxygen partner Faith Wiens opened the doors in January 2014 under the umbrella of the New Westminster-based Stonewater Group. Stonewater is an award-winning restaurant group that is owned by the Ranfords and the Flintoffs, local friends with long established roots in the Royal City. When Wiens – who has been with Stonewater for over 18 years and serves as controller for the organization – told them about her experience with an Oxygen Yoga in another community, they were quick to agree with her assessment on the potential of a local franchise. The decision has paid off in spades: their two studios have a bustling schedule that continues to grow and expand.
“It has absolutely become this incredible community. People enjoy being here, it’s such a happy comfortable place to be,” said Ranford. “What we’ve built here is very special.” Ranford notes the studio is unique in the breadth of its offerings: from traditional yoga practice, to more cardio-based yoga fusion classes with dance, boxing moves and more. “We really pay attention to what members are showing up for, what’s popular, what are they asking about, what’s going on out there in the wider yoga world, what’s best for our bodies, the latest concepts, and then really morphing our classes to fit those needs. Even the same person might need different things at different times and we can give them those options.” On top of that, the studio offers yoga teaching

We have yoga instructors coming from all over to our studio to do training and I think that really is a testament to what Faith created in our particular franchise that we have the best of the best coming here.” Ranford is herself an instructor, on top of her primary role as an educator and counsellor with the New Westminster school district. “It’s a wonderful combination with my career, this ability to use yoga for anxiety and stress in

Being able to not just build community but give back to the wider community as well has always been a primary focus for Stonewater. “We grew up here doing sports and feeling supported in the community and now my own kids are doing the same and we want everyone’s kids to feel that way so a lot of our community giving is focused on youth and sport,” she said. “This city is very important to us.”

It’s community at its best – and there’s no surprise that it’s a concept that’s thriving in New Westminster. We’re talking, of course, about the phenomenon that is the “little free library” – also known as the pop-up library or community book exchange. The little book houses have popped up in neighbourhoods all over the city, giving people a chance to donate books and take books in exchange. The city has three libraries officially registered with Little Free Library (find out all about it at www.littlefree library.org), and a host of others as well. We asked you, our readers, on Twitter and Facebook, and you rose to the occasion by sharing a long list of locations. We have to note that Sapperton and Queen’s Park areas are well represented, but so far we’ve heard of little in the downtown or West End, and no one from Queensborough has shout-

Kids need more playtime Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan
On a visit to the small Texas town of Amarillo last year, I attended theWorld Championship Ranch Rodeo. As I strolled through the sea of competitors and their families, something stood out for me: none of the kids had phones in their hands. Instead of sitting in solitude, hunched over devices with their eyes glued to screens, I saw clusters of children huddled together on the floor, playing with horse figurines and toy trucks. I watched on as they trotted and teetered their trinkets along surfaces, completely immersed in imaginative play while their parents chatted nearby. This not only reminded me of my own childhood, when kids were left to their own devices, but it really emphasized the abundance of free, unsupervised and extremely essential play time that I enjoyed in my younger years – time that is rarely enjoyed by kids today.
With the pressure to increase academic offerings, many schools have cut back on allocated time for outdoor play in favour of more time in the classroom. Not only does this reduce the amount of exercise that children receive, but the cost of cutting these periods of free play extends far beyond the need to keep kids moving throughout the day. In a special edition of TIME magazine titled The Science of Childhood, author Belinda Luscombe highlights the results of a Finnish study that focuses on the correlation between physical activity and sedentary time for schoolaged kids between the ages of six and eight.What they found was that by increasing seated classroom time, the grades of students actually declined.They discovered that children who were less active during school time in the first grade – a year that is heavily focused on reading – received lower grades in both reading and math in second and third grade than those who were given more time to play – especially boys.
While most elementary school kids here in Canada receive one short recess break per day, a program called the LiiNK Project (Let’s Inspire Innovation ‘N Kids) devised by Debbie Rhea of the Texas Christian University, encourages more frequent bursts of outdoor play, with the youngest children in some Texas schools being sent out for recess four times a day. They found that allowing for more frequent breaks resulted in more focused classroom time, as the children knew a short break was coming soon. Free play develops important life skills in children such as creativity and teamwork, and by providing them with activity breaks, we can boost their focus and improve their grades. It’s time to take the reins and steer our children back to a lifestyle where free play was valued. It will not only keep them healthy and active, but it will extend their life learnings far beyond the classroom walls. Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer and editor. Find her online at @bitsofbee.

Landmark Cinemas Welcome To Marwen
Share the gift of wonder at Shops at NW
I Landmark Cinemas Aquaman
t is a place that has always quickened the pulse, caught at the throat or made us laugh. A night out at Landmark Cinemas is the perfect way to share excitement, joy, and wonder with friends and family.
Aquaman, the live action superhero movie, stars Jason Momoa as the DC character Arthur Curry. Curry, the ruler of Atlantis, is caught between two worlds, that of the surface dwellers, and the Atlanteans below the water.
The theatre at Shops at New West offers comedy, tragedy and so much more, and a gift card from there will make any stocking a little more merry and bright. It’s also very accessible, located right on the SkyTrain line at New Westminster station.
On the political comedy-drama front is Vice, starring Christian Bale as Dick Cheney, and directed by Adam McKay. The film showcases Cheney’s time as vice-president of the United States, and how he became the most powerful vice-presidents in America’s history. Welcome to Marwen is a dramatic film starring Steve Carell as Mark Hogancamp, a man who is violently assaulted and builds a miniature Second World War village in his backyard. The movie is directed by Robert Zemeckis.
This holiday season, there are plenty of new blockbusters and unique films coming out that would make the perfect outing for family and friends.
Landmark Cinemas Disney Mary Poppins Returns
One of the most anticipated movies this December is Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns. Mary Poppins is back to help Jane and Michael, now grown, and Michael’s three children in this magical, musical romp. The film takes place in Depression-era London and boasts an all-star cast including Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins, Lin-Manuel Miranda as Jack, and Meryl Streep as Topsy.
These and many more films will be out in time for the holidays, giving the receivers of gift cards lots of choices when it comes to visiting Landmark, whether they’re looking for family fun, action, comedy or drama. And of course, the gift cards last long past the season, making for many magical movie moments.

Community Holiday fundraiser helps New exhibition at Plaskett Queen’s Park Care Centre Homes for the Holidays tour is a no-go this year, but gift shop is hosting special festivities on Dec. 2 Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The Queen’s Park Healthcare Volunteer Society is taking a break this year from organizing its popular Homes for the Holidays tour but still has some festive plans to raise funds for much-needed items at two local facilities. Located in Queen’s Park Care Centre, the Quintessential gift shop has been transformed into a winter wonderland. Along with the shop, the foyer will be decorated for the festivities taking place on Sunday, Dec. 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., when all merchandise will be reduced by 15 per cent and parking is free. “This is our Christmas fundraiser this year, so we are hoping those people who enjoyed the homes tour, as well as those look-
We have more than just Christmas ing for unique gifts and home décor, will come to our shopping event for some retail therapy and Christmas cheer,” said Colleen McDonald, the society’s vice chair. “All proceeds from the sales at the shop go directly to those in care at (the centre).” For those who can’t make the special holiday event, the gift shop is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (but parking isn’t free).The gift shop is located just inside the entrance of Queen’s Park Care Centre at 315 McBride Blvd. “We have more than just Christmas.We have some
beautiful ponchos, shawls, pashminas, and of course home décor and Christmas decorations,” McDonald said of the Dec. 2 sale. Through its fundraising efforts, the society currently covers the monthly cost of WiFi at Queen’s Park Care Centre and William Rudd House and provides funds for Concerts in Care. It recently purchased the Java Music Programme, a peer support activity group program designed for residential care, and will provide funds for the Christmas Giving Event, which ensures all those in care receive a meaningful gift at Christmas. For those who love attending the tour of homes decorated for the holidays, McDonald is hopeful the Homes for the Holidays tour will return to the Royal City next year.

Dream-like and alien landscapes are taking to the walls of the Plaskett Gallery. Un-Natural Landscapes, an exhibition of work by Alyx Essers, is on from Dec. 4 to 23 at the gallery at Massey Theatre. “In this series, abstract mark making and materials are used together to form landscapes that seem alien or dream-like,” a press release says. “Natural raw materials are fused and joined together with chemical and synthetic products such as paint, adhesive glues, wall putty, caulking and clear coat.” Items such as acorn hats, egg shells, moss, tree branches and beach shells
all appear in the art. “This series is a collection of Alyx’s artistic style and signature texture obsession that developed after graduating from her (bachelor of fine arts) program at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and into her studies to become an art therapist,” the release says. “Alyx invites the audience to experience her paintings visually and to enjoy the richness of the canvas surfaces she has created.” An opening reception is Landscape: Work by Alyx Essers. set for Friday, Dec. 7 from PHOTO CONTRIBUTED 4 to 7 p.m. The show is on Dec. 4 to Theatre productions. 23, and the gallery is open The theatre is at 735 Tuesdays to Saturdays from Eighth Ave. See massey 1 to 5 p.m., by appointtheatre.com or call 604ment or during Massey 517-5900 for information.

As part of that project, Routledge is on the hunt for maps of the Brunette River and streams that enter into the Brunette. You can learn more about the project at Green Drinks, which is taking place on Thursday, Nov. 29 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Heritage Grill, 447 Columbia St. HOLIDAY CHEER The Fraternal Order of Eagles are aiming to provide some holiday cheer to local kids.

NEW WEST FIREFIGHTER IN HALL OF FLAME CALENDAR Fans of the annual Hall of Flame calendar will find a New Westminster firefighter in the 2019 lineup. New West firefighter Mike Cameron is December’s entry in the 2019 calendar, which raises funds for charities including the CKNW Kids’ Fund, the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters Association Burn Fund and other programs. “A few of my coworkers have been in the calendar in recent years and they were encouraging me to apply. I also thought it would be a good opportunity to get out to some interesting events and give some time to raise
some money for charity,” Cameron said. “I think the deciding factor was that my mother thought it would be great to see me in the calendar.” Cameron’s seven- and nine-year-old kids thought it was “pretty cool” to see their dad in a calendar. “Everybody is really supportive,” Cameron said of the response from his coworkers. “Of course, there is always some good-natured fun at my expense.” Cameron, an acting captain, has been working with New Westminster Fire and Rescue Services for 14 years. Because he tries to stay in shape for work, he didn’t have to do anything special to prepare for the modelling gig. “I am an active person and I keep myself in good shape for my job,” he said. “I would say I was more aware of my diet and trained a little harder as photoshoot day approached.” The Hall of Flame Calendar, now in its 31st year, gets professional firefighters to volunteer as models.
Through the years, the calendar has raised more than $1 million for charity. The calendars are $17.99 and can be found at London Drugs and select SaveOn-Foods.
EVENT HAS “PROFOUND IMPACT” ON LOCAL YOUTH When the second annual No Stone Left Alone poppy ceremony took place in the military section of Fraser Cemetery on Nov. 5, attendees placed poppies on military gravestones in rec-
ognition of the sacrifices that fallen soldiers and veterans have made serving Canada. “With over 110 students from Richard McBride Elementary joining members of The Royal Westminster Regiment, our cadets, participants from various community groups and individual citizens, poppies were placed on 450 military graves in Fraser Cemetery to honour our fallen and veterans,” said Karen Baker-MacGrotty, honorary
colonel of The Royal Westminster Regiment and chair of the No Stone Left Alone New Westminster. “Students stood at the headstone, studied the inscription on the stone, placed a poppy, read the name aloud then took a moment to reflect and say thank you for their service and sacrifice. This simple act of remembrance has a profound impact on our youth. I believe every time participants pass by the cemetery, they will remember.”

Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada. Why participate in the hearing study? Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the need to better understand how hearing
loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully. It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2. This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.
If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study.

Hyacks hammer Fox to return to BC final
NewWest will defend its provincial title in Subway Bowl final on Saturday against Mount Douglas
Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
Faith may be believing in something when common sense tells you otherwise. But for the New Westminster Hyacks, faith and common sense appear to be on the same page. The defending 2017 B.C. Subway Bowl champions will get the shot to retain their crown next week, after shutting down the Terry Fox Ravens 33-0 on Saturday at B.C. Place. Framed as a rematch of two fierce rivals, the semifinal proved to be a clinical display of how to deconstruct an opponent. New West took control in a first half where they shut down Fox’s powerful running game and picked up approximately 200 yards on offence of their own, despite taking a couple of undisciplined penalties. “I felt awful at halftime, because we gave touchdowns away. Broxx (Comia) took a penalty that cost us a touchdown, we had another
It was maybe an emotional game for them but we had a game plan ...
penalty that almost led to a touchdown at the half,” recalled New West head coach Farhan Lalji. “We were up 17-0 and felt great about our execution but really bad about our discipline to allow it be a close game at that moment.” After having stopped Terry Fox inside the five-yard line on a series of plays to end the first half, the Hyacks tightened things up for the second half, and never really faced another serious threat. The game began with each team having drives hit the wall, although the Hyacks did get inside the 20-yard line before turning the ball over on downs. New West scored on its second possession, moving the ball 95 yards with quarterback Kinsale Philip capping it on an 12-yard pass to tight
end Matthew Drake a minute into the second quarter. They started their third possession at the Ravens’ 45-yard line, but were held to a field goal from Zach Northgraves. With No. 4-ranked Fox eager to get on the scoreboard, the Hyacks’ Matthew Lalim knocked them off course when he stripped the ball from Caden Cote at the Ravens’ 29-yard line. It resulted in Greyson Planinsic’s seven-yard TD run to make it 17-0 with three minutes left in the first half. Terry Fox’s best scoring chance was a direct result of a roughing the kicker flag that returned possession to the PoCo team at midfield, and saw them drive it down to the one-yard line. But a succession of defensive stands killed the clock and the threat. The rest of the game seemed a formality. “We came in calm, cool and collected. It was maybe an emotional game for them but we had a game plan and executed it,” remarked Philip, who finished the day completing seven of 13 passes, including a pair to Lalim for majors, of 26- and 35 yards respectively. The Ravens entered the semifinal showdown with a lot of momentum and emotion, but were unable to get any traction against New West’s defence. “We were just not firing on all cylinders. It was everybody’s fault, no one was in sync so it wasn’t one particular side, one aspect,” noted the Ravens head coach Martin McDonnell. “This is the only egg of the whole season, but just a really bad time to do it.” Planinsic completed his allaround terrific day with six tackles and two assists. Shaye Rathjen also collected six tackles, while Lalim and Philip, in his linebacker role, tabulated four tackles.The former also picked up a big quarterback sack. Lalji said the heavy feelings from last year’s dramatic final may have been present, but he and defensive coach Clint Uttley made a point of diffusing any extra emotions prior to the matchup. “For me, we won last year’s game but we weren’t playing last year’s game again,” he not-

PHOTO MARIO BARTEL/TRICITY NEWS ed. “(Fox) may have felt like that, (and) we heard a lot of stuff indirectly from that way. I said to our players before the game ‘Hate is a fleeting emotion. If they want to play the game with hate, that’s on them.We’re going to play the game with love.’ “I know that sounds corny. It does, but I remember when I was away last semi and Clint talked about that in the South Delta game in the late stages.When things went bad we stayed together, we cared about each other and said we’re going to play this game
with love.” New West now will face Mount Douglas next Saturday in a final that looks like any special summer night at English Bay – with fireworks aplenty in the forecast. The Victoria-based Rams advanced to the final with a thrilling last-play field goal to edge Vancouver College 31-28. New West played Mount Doug three weeks ago and suffered a 34-28 setback. It was the Hyacks third loss of the season, but one they have put in the rearview mirror with four straight victories.
“It didn’t matter for us who won (between Mount Doug and Vancouver College),” noted Lalji. “Certainly VC did really well against us, but (Rams quarterback Gideone Kremler) and the way he’s moving around causes a lot of problems for us. ….We know that Mount Doug is built for this moment. “For us, this is four straight years in the semis and second straight year in the final so we’re use to this.” Tickets are available for the game at nwss.hyackfootball.com.
Royal City’s Chiang earns honour with strong field debut
Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
The pole vault and triple jump are uniquely different – but surprisingly similar – when New Westminster’s Kairo Chiang is concerned. The Royal City Track and Field Club athlete took to the two events as a 13-yearold this past track season and made them his own. Already a talented sprinter, hurdler and long jumper, Chiang impressed his coaches with a new-found passion for the pole vault
and triple jump, and a series of personal bests as the season progressed. His first year resulted in meeting the B.C. Athletics Award standard criteria for his age group, and was front-and-centre when the provincial organization held its banquet a month ago. “It was a fantastic year, that’s how I’d describe it,” remarked RCTFC coach Cristina Weir, who oversaw Chiang’s progress in the two events. In his first year in both disciplines, Chiang proved a quick learner, escalating his personal bests by the end of the season to
2.40 metres (pole vault) and 10.81m (in triple jump). “He’s very athletic and has been running sprints – 200, 300 and 400m – the hurdles and long jump, and this year he also competed in the pentathlon,” said Weir. “With the pole vault, he started it and really enjoyed it, and he was very focused on improving. “He’s just very, very strong and very, very fast and that helps in both events.” As part of the training, club members have weekly training sessions at the Omega Gymnastics Club in Coquitlam, where they
work on flips, balance and jumps. “The vault is definitely one of the tougher ones to learn,” said Weir, who once held the junior national record. “Technical events have a long learning curve, but (Chiang) seemed to grasp it quickly.” She noted he has a good, friendly rivalry with clubmate Ella Foster, 15, who finished third at the junior nationals in pole vault. “He’s kind of chasing her right now but they encourage each other.” Chiang currently ranks fourth in the alltime provincial pole vault list for 13-yearContinued on page 56

Continued from page 55 olds, and is top-13 for triple jump. “I always saw the potential, but at his last meet he competed in seven events, posted seven PBs includ-
ing two standards, four medals and three fourth-place finishes,” recalled Weir. “It was pretty impressive and just points to an all-around athleticism.”
A Hyack Swim Club foursome just caused a stir on the national swimming scene. And that’s good. The Hyack quartet of Paul Orogo, Hao Sheng (Sunny) Zhang, Justin Jung and Kane Pan peeled off a pair of new national records at the Brad Reid Memorial Invitational in Coquitlam two weeks ago. The team delivered new marks in the male 12 and under 200-metre medley relay (2:02.05), then did the same in the 400m medley relay (4:25.34). Both times were also new automatic provincial and club standards.The 200m medley time eclipsed the seven-year-old Hyack club time by more than five seconds, while the team also set a new club time in the 200m free relay, with a time of 1:52.03. The 400m medley time, meanwhile, was a whopping 17-second improvement over the previous best, set in 2016. It was part of a strong club performance at the Hyack-hosted event. Zhang also established a new
Hyack mark in the 50m breaststroke, with a time of 33.41, more than one second quicker than the club standard he set earlier in the year. In the 200m individual medley, Jung finished in a time of 2:20.00, carving more than a second off the Hyack mark established earlier in the year by Peter Huang. Sehajvir Singh, meanwhile, chalked up a 800m free time of 8:15.59, taking nearly two seconds off the old club best. In the female 13-14 division, Eva Wen’s time of 30.75 seconds in the 50m backstroke proved to be a new Hyack record by twotenths of a second. Wen also joined the 14 and under 200m medley relay, along with Michelle Shen, Madisen Jacques and Cassidy Gray, to finish in 2:03.12.The previous mark was more than a second longer, set two years ago. The quartet also broke the old Hyack mark in the 200m free relay with a time of 1:49.99.The previous mark of 1:50.96 had stood up for 15 years.

SAGE, Bud Andrew
McDONALD, Susan Elizabeth .
It is with overwhelming sadness that we announce the passing of Bud Andrew Sage. After a courageous battle with cancer our husband, father, grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and friend is now at peace. Predeceased by his father Floyd, mother Ruby and sister Pat. Survived by his wife Sue Sage; sons Ryan Sage (Alanna) and Kevin Sage (Tiana); daughters Leslie Nichol (Mark) and Carrie Nichol (David); grandchildren Ben, Kaity, Cassidy, Tyler, Anna, Ashley and Kiara; his most loved walking companions Kira and Brynn; sister Colleen Sage; brother-in-law Raymond Bennie (Linda); sister-in-law Janice Bennie Nowick (Andy); nieces Melody Thorp (Pat) and Debbie Wixalbrown (Maleena); nephews Tim Sage (Hana), Joe Wixalbrown (Heena), Aaron Bennie, and Eric Bennie (Meghan). Bud was born in Nelson, B.C. on July 21, 1950 and lived in Salmo until he moved with his family to New Westminster in 1955. Bud was always a proud member of the New Westminster Community. He attended John Robson Elementary, New Westminster Secondary and ultimately settled and raised a family there with the love of his life, Sue. Bud was a man who easily made connections with people, regardless of whether they were with his many valued business contacts (who became friends) or the people he saw at Starbucks everyday. Bud gave back to the community he grew up in, volunteering many hours with the New Westminster Hockey Association and serving as a Royal Lancer. Bud was a true Canadian, an avid hockey fan and a lover of all types of music. Most importantly, Bud was a true family man. Summer holidays, road trips, bike rides around Stanley Park, and family dinners were among his favourite things. A loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather; a caring brother, brother-in-law and uncle; and a loyal friend. We are so fortunate to be left with his legacy of caring, commitment and family values. “Our hearts are filled with sadness, but it is far outweighed by our immense gratitude for the life he gave us”. Our family would like to thank the amazing health care professionals who supported Bud throughout the past year and a half. We would also like to thank our wonderful friends for all their love and support. Celebration of Life will be held on January 27, 2019 at 2:00pm at the Diamond Alumni Centre (SFU), University Drive East, Burnaby, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations made to the Ronald McDonald House BC in Bud’s name would be appreciated.
January 15, 1944 - December 1, 2014
Beautiful memories silently kept, Of one that we loved and will never forget. Ken, Family and Friends.
