A NEW COALITION IS BORN IN NEW WEST

Fighting for the missing middle

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A coalition of New Westminster residents is urging the city to consider the housing needs of residents today – and in the future.

Yes in New West is calling on city hall to expand housing options in neighbourhoods across the city by allowing more row houses, townhouses and carriage and laneway houses.

“New West, like Metro Vancouver, has a housing affordability problem,” said Brow of the Hill resident Brad Cavanagh. “The benchmark price for a single-family home in New West is over $1 million.To qualify for a mortgage on a million-dollar house, your family needs an income of at least $170,000, and that’s after you put down your $200,000 down payment.”

Although Cavanagh and his wife, Alice, both have fairly good-paying jobs, he said they had no way of saving up for a $200,000 down payment after paying child-care costs.They rented an apartment and lived in a housing co-op, but they feared home ownership was a “distant dream” because of housing prices.

“Buying a single-family house in New West was completely impossible,” he said. “Luckily for us, we found a townhouse for sale, not quite a year ago.”

Supply is another issue, said Cavanagh, noting a recent search revealed just 13 townhouses up for sale in New Westminster. Of those, five were under Continued on page 3

Public input sought on big grain terminal

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Royal City residents are invited to weigh in on a plan that could see about four million tonnes of grain

shipped out of Fraser Surrey Docks annually.

Fraser Grain Terminal Ltd. is proposing to build a grain-handling facility at Fraser Surrey Docks, which is located across the Fraser

River from Westminster Quay.The facility would be used to ship bulk grain products including wheat, barley, oil seeds, pulses and other speciality grains.

Tom Corsie, vice-pres-

ident of real estate for the Port of Vancouver, said the proposal is currently at a preliminary review phase.

He said the public comment period for the preliminary project inquiry runs

In their own words

MISSING MIDDLE: Brad and Alice Cavanagh and their daughter Elizabeth. The Cavanaghs are part of a coalition calling itself Yes in New West, which is asking city hall to allow more row houses, townhouses and laneway houses in the city. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

‘Current situation is bleak’ Continued from page 1 construction in Queensborough, three were in adult-only buildings, leaving five for families with children.

“For families like mine who would like a little more outdoor space than a condo can offer, the current situation is bleak,” he said. “Try and bid on the rare townhouse that comes up for sale and you are competing against a dozen offers, win the lottery, or move out of New Westminster – those are our choices.”

A recent staff report on the latest round of consultation for the official community plan update indicated that some residents feel “the missing middle is still missing” from the plan and support infill everywhere, not just around main streets.The missing middle refers to housing types like duplex-

es, fourplexes – housing that’s somewhere between single-family homes and apartments.

“There were a number of participants that were concerned about the city allowing further growth. People were concerned about the impacts this growth may have, such as overcrowding, increased traffic and an increased demand for infrastructure, schools and community facilities,” said a staff report. “Despite this, the stronger message was that even more needed to be done by the land-use map to accommodate growth and to achieve a better mix of housing.”

Yes In New West is calling on city council to support a staff recommendation that would permit townhouses in the 500 block of Fifth Street and to add more townhouse designations on

quiet streets near transit corridors.

City staff is taking recent feedback from council and working on the next draft of the land-use designation map and the first draft of the official community plan.The city is planning to accommodate a population of up to 104,000 residents by 2041 – that’s 34,000 more residents than there were in the city in 2011, which means about 16,500 new homes will be required in New Westminster.

With 95 per cent of the city’s current housing stock in single-detached dwellings and apartments or condo buildings, the city is seeking to increase housing choice by encouraging more ground-oriented housing forms.

COMMENT ON THIS STORY

NewWestRecord.ca

! Christa MacArthur, who has lived and worked in downtown New Westminster for the past two-and-a-half years, said her five-year-old daughter told her she wants to “live on a street with little houses so she can get some peace and quiet.”

“It seems that strata-titled housing is only available near loud trains or busy arterial roads,” she said. “Why must people living in apartments, townhouses or condos be subjected to constant noise and traffic? We also desire tree-lined streets and neighbourhood parks. The problem is that a variety of housing types in quiet walkable neighbourhoods is badly needed but is not being accommodated.” ! Mike Folka, a fourth generation New Westminsterite, said he and his wife Julie experienced the challenge of finding family-friendly, ground-oriented housing in his hometown, when the third of their three boys was born.

“A large portion of New Westminster’s housing stock is made up of either single-family homes or condo buildings.

We don’t have much offer in between, but with a little luck and some good timing, we were able to find an affordable, three-level stacked townhome in the very same Glenbrook North neighbourhood I myself grew up in,” he said. “I won’t hesitate to say we got lucky. There are many other young families who haven’t been.”

Adds Folka: “I fear that my kids and others may be forced out of the community they grew up in and not by choice, is very real, one we are already seeing happen today.” ! Jonathan Gibson, who rents a condo in downtown New West with his wife, said more people are entering the condo market as they’re being priced out of single-family homes. Although more rental buildings are being built, he doesn’t think the supply of rental units will be enough to keep rents affordable in future years.

“If the city chooses not to provide more diverse housing choices at an affordable level, this OCP risks forming a New Westminster by 2041 that is no more than a gated community,” he said. “Does the city and council choose to endorse this exclusivity, rather than containing the vibrant community values of inclusion and acceptance? I believe we can and should aspire to be an inclusive community and that this includes the way we plan for future housing forms.” ! Rick Vugteveen, who lives in a detached house in the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood, doesn’t think the city has to sacrifice character by allowing “gentle densification” in residential neighbourhoods.

“The missing middle works alongside single-family homes,” he said. “We can create policies that protects what makes our city unique.” ! Sapperton resident Wes Kinna said the draft guidelines for infill housing are “far too restrictive” and won’t allow many homeowners to add density in the form of laneway and carriage homes and still maintain the character of their neighbourhoods. He thinks the city needs to “go even further” with the guidelines for infill housing.

“I am seeing family after family leave New Westminster for the suburbs to the east because they cannot find appropriate housing for the size of their families,” he said.

HELPING OTHERS

Group responds to New West mom’s death

Postpartum depression organization hopes that other mothers who may be in trouble will reach out and talk to someone

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

An organization is hoping the death of a missing New Westminster mother helps shed light on postpartum depression.

Florence Leung, 32, left her in the city’s West End home on Oct. 25 and nev-

er returned.Throughout the investigation, police were particularly concerned for Leung’s well-being because it was believed she was suffering from postpartum depression.When her body was found last week on the banks of Bowen Island, police weren’t the only ones extending their condolences

to Leung’s family.

“We were deeply affected by the news of this mom, and we know that a lot of people would hear that news and also be affected,” Sheila Duffy, director of the Pacific Post Partum Support Society, told the Record.

The Burnaby-based or-

ganization provides support to mothers and families experiencing postpartum/perinatal distress, depression and anxiety. Duffy hopes Leung’s death will draw attention to postpartum conditions so that other mothers and their families seek support if they need it.

The society runs a sup-

port line, which women and family members can call if they need to talk to someone – it’s a self-referral program, so no diagnosis is needed – as well as seven support groups around the Lower Mainland.

While the search for Leung pushed postpartum struggles into the spotlight,

it’s not without its pitfalls, according to Duffy.

“For some people, their experience isn’t going to be as severe, necessarily, so then it can work the opposite way where it’s like, ‘Well, I don’t want to tell anybody because they’re going to assume I’m suicidal,’” Continued on page 6

Sad end for search

The body of a missing New Westminster mother has been found.

According to the B.C. Coroners Service, a hiker on Bowen Island spotted what he thought was a body in an isolated cove on the island last week. He called police, who recovered the body from the water. On Nov. 16, the coroner’s office identified the body as 32-year-old

Florence Leung.

Leung was reported missing on Oct. 25, after leaving her West End home around 9:45 a.m.

Believed to be suffering from postpartum depression, Leung was deemed a high-risk missing person by New Westminster police investigators.

The search for Leung lasted several days with po-

lice concentrating on areas in and around Stanley Park, where her car was found on Oct. 26, the day after she was reported missing. North Shore Search and Rescue were brought in to help police in the search, which was eventually called off a few days later.

The family has asked for privacy.

At the end of the preliminary comment period, Corsie said, the Fraser River Grain Terminal group is required to submit a consultation summary report to the port authority, as well as a report that describes how the feedback will be considered in a final project proposal.The Port of Vancouver owns the Fraser Surrey Docks land.

Corsie recently told city council that the same group that runs the canola operation at Fraser Surrey Docks would be investing in the grain terminal.

NWSS: Open house triggers lots of questions

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

About 37 parents and curious residents dropped by Fraser River Middle School on Saturday for the second of two open houses on the New Westminster Secondary School replacement project.

Saturday’s open house was part of the school district’s first round of community consultations on the new high school project. Among the folks who stopped by was Fernando Rodrigues, whose daughter is in Grade 5 at Qayqayt Elementary School. He and his family moved from Brazil to New Westminster in August, and he admits they’ve lucked out – his daughter will have attended every new school in the district by the time she has graduated.

“I’m very impressed with this project,” he told the Record.

Rodrigues was particularly keen to learn more about the different spaces that

Kellie Vallee

would be included in the new school, such as science and music areas as well as sports fields.

“We don’t have this kind of opportunity in Brazil; (you) just have to choose a school,” he said. “The community is not part of any kind of a decision, … so I thought it would be interesting to come here and see how it works in Canada.”

For Ingrid Tymm, the open house sparked a flurry of questions about what the new high school and site will look like once it’s complete in December 2019.

“I think everyone is eager to start seeing a design plan, like what’s it going to look like – two storeys, one storey?” she said, adding she thought the future school looked small in the anticipated site plan design.

Tymm, who has two kids in the school system, including a daughter in Grade 3 at Tweedsmuir Elementary School and a daughter in Grade 10 who is already at New Westminster Secondary, was also concerned

Dave Vallee

about the connectedness between Massey Theatre, which will remain in its current location, and the new high school.

The city and school district have been and will continue to be in communication throughout the planning phase for the new high school, according to Pat Duncan, school district superintendent.

But what the new school will actually look like won’t be revealed until the new year, after the second round of community consultations begin. Construction is slated to begin in September 2017.

Folks have until Monday, Dec. 5 to provide feedback to the district. From there, Kirk and Co., a Vancouverbased communications and consultation firm, will compile the information submitted and draft a summary report.The report is expected to be released early in the new year, according to Kirk and Co.

THE CEMETERY What makes the NWSS site so complicated?

There are two protected

ed a cemetery site. Under the Heritage Conservation Act, the district must ensure that any burial grounds within the conservation area remain untouched.

The school district and the province promised that no part of the new high school will be built on known burial grounds.

Opinion OUR VIEW

There’s no right way to hit someone It’s a moot point after the coroner has arrived to pick up the pedestrian struck and killed.

Yes.The pedestrian may have been jaywalking. May have been dressed all in black, and may have even been looking at their cellphone. And, yes, the driver may have been going over the speed limit and not paying attention. And, yes, fault will be found and blame placed. But whether it was a misjudgment by a pedestri-

an or carelessness by a driver, the fact remains that nobody deserves to become a statistic.

Lives are ruined forever when a pedestrian is struck and killed. Family, friends and loved ones suffer.The driver responsible will never be the same after such an event.The impact of such an incident cannot be overestimated.

New statistics released last month (October) reveal that 10 pedestrians died in

B.C. following road accidents, more than twice the average number for October over the past six years.

The total number of pedestrian lives lost in B.C. this year up until Oct. 31 is 47. Not surprisingly, coroners’ statistics show that pedestrian deaths occur more frequently in the fall and winter months, with January, November and December being the months with the highest numbers.

Drivers often blame pe-

destrians, pedestrians blame drivers – and, let’s face it, if you’re a pedestrian and in the right, you’ll still end up getting the worst of the encounter.

So, pedestrians: ! Ensure you are visible.

Wear something light, and wear reflective material. ! Make eye contact with drivers before you cross. ! Don’t jaywalk. ! Don’t try to cross when the light is turning amber or

you’re running out of time.

So, drivers: ! When turning left or right at intersections, watch out for pedestrians. ! Never pass another vehicle that is stopped at a crosswalk or when it is likely to be waiting for a pedestrian to cross. ! Avoid all use of cellphones and pay close attention to pedestrians who may be waiting to cross. ! Remember, being in the

right isn’t going to feel any better after you’ve hit someone. ! Visibility is bad at night, but when it’s raining or foggy, it’s better to assume that you will not see somebody than it is to assume that you will see everybody.

Please, be careful out there.These are not stories we like to write or publish.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Could Trump win in Canada?

As the post-mortems of the stunning (to a point) ascension of show biz miscreant Donald Trump to the White House continue, I suppose it’s inevitable that some will examine the question of whether such a turn of events could happen in this country.The short answer is “unlikely,” but there’s more to it than that.What’s troubling is that some of the elements that drove Trump’s momentum – racism, intolerance and misogyny – are very much on display in Canada, albeit not at the same level.

Recently, this province witnessed two high-profile examples of ugly racism.

First, there was that video of the village idiot spouting racist slurs in an Abbotsford parking lot at a Canadian citizen who happened to also be of Indo-Canadian descent.The video has gone semi-viral, and the hate-spewing loser now faces criminal charges.

Then there is the alarming distribution of racist leaflets in Richmond, essentially warning of a Chinese “invasion.” Richmond is a vibrant, humming municipality booming in economic growth, much of it fuelled by immigration and economic investment from China, Japan and Korea. If anything, the municipality owes a big thanks to the AsianCanadian community for turning it into such a success story.

But those are hardly isolated incidents. If you doubt that, I invite you to read the thread of comments that fol-

low the posting of all kinds of news stories on various media outlets’ web sites or Facebook sites.The comments are often inflammatory to the point of being alarming, often crossing the line when it comes to sexism, racism and intolerance.

The comments are invariably aimed at whatever political party or leader that happens to be forming government. In B.C., the biggest targets are Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (who has inherited the large target his predecessor Stephen Harper wore on his back for years).

Finally, we come to two other female politicians. Alberta Conservative MLA Sandra Jansen bolted her party to join the NDP government caucus, because of serious harassment and sexist attacks from her old colleagues because she dared to run for party leader.

And then there is federal Conservative leadership candidate, MP Kellie Leitch, who seems determined to run a “Trump-lite” campaign, with her call for a “Canadian values test” for prospective immigrants.

Leitch is unlikely to forge a path to government with such talk, but she’ll get some support.That’s because like it or not, for all our Canadian smugness that we would never elect such an offensive candidate such as Trump, there exists among us a large vein of intolerance, increasingly on public display.

Unceasing growth is not the right path

Baldrey asks: Could a Trump-style win happen in Canada?

Dear Editor: Why double our city’s population? Yes, global population is increasing, and more people are displaced by Canada’s and NATO’s wars — by all wars — and by related global warming.

These terrible realities do not impose a moral obligation on us to fill every square foot of earth and airspace, making our own place unlivable. There are many places to live. If it just has to be New Westminster, wait your turn.

Can we even picture in our minds, double the number of people in this small city? On the floodplain of one of the world’s largest river systems as sea levels rise? Bumper-tobumper traffic already wastes time and gas.

Who makes these decisions? Not the people who live here. We just subsidize the developer feeding frenzy at the heart of this dysfunctional growth “culture.”

Yes, more people equals more business, big box emporiums, condos to build. But growth also costs. Financing hard and soft infrastructure leads to social costs: growing income disparity and homelessness, from demolishing good housing for property value and highdensity up-zoning. Resource depletion, waste, pollution. We are being grown too fast to absorb all this change.

We are not obliged to follow the maximum profit demands of the development industry, of planners doing business as usual; of the shadow government — the corporate world.

If population growth were the answer to economic health, the world would not be in the trouble we are in.

It’s past time to look at limits to growth in New Westminster. We need town hall meetings to discuss these issues, not in a context of an ‘open house’ and a plan focused on maximizing growth, but in open investigation of all aspects, including our options for long-term economic, ecological and social stability.

Hildegard Bechler, New Westminster

Why do trains sound horns so often?

Dear Editor I have a question with regards to the trains. For 28 years, I lived in Vancouver near the rail tracks between Grandview Highway and Broadway.

This is a level crossing track. The tracks have lights and barriers that come down to prevent crossing. I never heard a train blast its horn as they travel this route.

I now live near Columbia and Cumberland.

The two level crossings in this area have lights and barriers, but the trains blast their horns, a lot. I have noticed that some trains do not blast their horns, but most do.

Is there any governance with regards to the horns?

It was my understanding that if there are no barriers at level crossings the trains must blast their horns for warnings, but these two crossings have lights and barriers.

I’m just curious. Thank you.

Tom Anstruther Yes it could. And the PC Liberals better wake up because if they continue the way they are going, they are going to be on the outside looking in as someone who will Make Canada Great Again does!

Gail Hamill Beau It is possible this could happen in Canada. I never would have thought so before Nov 8th. I am a Facebook/social media “Junkie” and am appalled by how many Canadians post hateful, spiteful comments about our Federal Government, Refugees, minorities and our “horrible” economy.

The nastiest comments I have seen have been from The Maritimes, Ontario, Alberta, and a few from smaller communities in BC. There are lots of angry people out there and they are feeding on the hateful energy of angry Americans. It’s one thing to disagree with a particular party, but to spew filth and violence toward the opposition is not a rational discussion.

Patti Jackson An interesting read.

I’m not so sure that it couldn’t happen here, as much as it saddens me to say so. Trump’s popularity leading to election was a surprise to many. I find Kelly Leitch’s comments frightening!

Yes in NewWest coalition wants more ‘middle’ housing NewCity What drives prices up is lack of density. Townhouses are more desirable than condos in every way but they take up so much space for the benefit of a few. If we want to address future affordability we need more density not less otherwise yes people will move further afield and be burdened with commuting expenses like tolls and soaring transit costs.

NewWest takes old racist bylaws off the city’s books Inna Zotina better late than never :( I moved to New Westminster from Vancouver - shouldn’t be much difference, right? Wrong :( Some of New Westminster bylaws are rudiculous, some are discriminating - they where initiated by good intentions, but turned to became stupidly restrictive.

Gail Hamill Beau Lets not quibble about the timing. Lets be happy that we live in a Country where bylaws are changed and apologies are given for past injustice.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: During the subdivision process that created 318 and 328 Agnes Street, it was discovered that a calculation error by the applicant would mean that the number of units shown in the original Comprehensive Development District (318 and 328 Agnes Street)(CD-63) zoning schedule and corresponding Development Permit DPD00145 plans could not be built without slightly changing allowable density and site coverage.

WHAT IS ‘HOUSEKEEPING ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW No. 7880, 2016 ABOUT? To correct this mistake, an application has been made to amend the Comprehensive Development District (318 and 328 Agnes Street)(CD-63) in order to permit the transfer of one two bedroom suite from the property at 318 Agnes Street to the neighbouring property at 328 Agnes Street.

This would affect both the density and site coverage sections of the zoning schedule, however the overall unit count of the development would remain at 202 units, and the allowable site coverage would increase by less than 1%.

The design of the buildings has not changed.

New West SkyTrain station gets upgrades

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO LOSE UP TO 20 POUNDS IN 20 DAYS?

TransLink is celebrating the completion of a $12-million upgrade to the NewWestminster SkyTrain station.

The station upgrades include a new elevator, new escalators and stairs, newly installed glass panels, improved lighting and improved station visibility from street level. Officials gathered for a formal unveiling at the site last Friday, but the project that began in the spring of 2015 was completed earlier this fall.

“We are happy to celebrate the completion of these important accessibility and safety upgrades, which will enhance the rapid transit experience for nearly 1,600 passengers who travel through the station each hour,” said TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond in a press release. “NewWestminster station is one of seven on the Expo line being upgrad-

The federal government provided $2.1 million and the provincial government contributed $4.2 million, with the remainder coming from TransLink.

NWSS students share stage with top pros Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster Secondary School music students are getting an awesome opportunity to learn from the best.

NWSS band students are presenting their winter band concert at the Massey Theatre on Wednesday, Nov. 30 at 7 p.m.

The evening will feature the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s brass quintet, made up of some of the top classical brass players in the country.The quintet will play some songs of their own and will also join the students of the senior band for a grand finale piece.

But the performance is really just the icing on the cake – during the day, the quintet members will be on hand helping to work with the students.

Daytime workshops will be held with NWSS music students, as well as guests from Fraser River and Glenbrook middle schools – which, as a press release from the school notes, is helping to make connections between grade levels, between schools, and with the professional community.

“I’ve been to see the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra perform, and every performance is inspiring to me as a student musician,” said Jun Lee, a Grade 12 student who is involved in both bands and choirs, in the release.

Caitlyn Collantes, a Grade 12 student and member of the senior concert band, agreed.

“Opportunities like this, working with such high-level professionals, inspire me

to do better and give me an idea of what I can aspire to,” she said in the release.

Everyone in the community is invited to attend the concert.Tickets are $10 and are available at www.ticketsnw.ca and through the Massey box office at 604521-5050.You can find details at www.nwssmusic. com. (Children under six are free.You can book a child’s ticket by calling the box office.)

A VILLAINOUS TURN He never liked the good guys as much as the bad guys anyway.

New Westminster actor Mike Balser is having fun on stage this season – as the villain Fungus Fox in the upcoming Pinocchio pantomime production by the Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society.

“Mike has always felt that villains are more interesting than heroes,” says a bio about Mike from the show.

“Finally getting to play that role, he is having far more fun than he expected, which is both really enjoyable and a little worrying.”

In his real life, Balser is a teacher in Coquitlam. He’s been involved with the theatre group since 1995 – when he played Geppetto in its first production of Pinocchio.

You can catch his villainous turn onstage at the Surrey Arts Centre from Nov. 25 to Dec. 4, with a preview night Nov. 24. Regular tickets are $22.95 for students and seniors, $27.95 regular ($11.95 for preview night).

Evening shows are on at 7:30 p.m., with matinees at 2:30 p.m.

Buy tickets at 604-5015566 or through tickets. surrey.ca.

Artist’s works explore fear, hope and longing A NewWestminster artist’s depictions of stormtossed seas and wind-torn landscapes are featured in an exhibition at aVancouver gallery.

Fear, Hope and Longing III – Paintings ofVancouver IslandWestern Coast is on at theVisual Space Gallery inVancouver from Nov. 24 to Dec. 7.The exhibition features the work of local resident David A. Haughton.The exhibition’s 27 paintings examine the fear of threats to B.C.’s natural

environment and the frailty of life, tempered by hope as reflected in delicately lit skies and warm light reflecting off turbulent seas.

“Lately I’m inspired by an intense feeling of personal vulnerability and evanescence,” Haughton says in a press release. “Sixty years old, perched on the seam between two tectonic plates, awaiting the heart attack, tsunami or massive oil tanker wreck on the ‘Graveyard of the Pacific Coast’ that will end my life and/or alter our

massively privileged existence.”

Haughton says his work has helped him recognize that he’s not interested in painting rocks, waves and trees per se.

“Rather, I am driven to paint emotions – in particular the three emotions of fear, hope and longing,” he says. “Dark, massive waves reflect dread of loss of control and fear of death.Warm fleeting colours of dawn echo the brief surge of morning hope. Sunset

calm and sherbert colours echo the aching vibrations of longing – ‘may this good life continue.’Yes, my paintings have recognizable trees, sky and ocean, but although that is what I am inspired by, it is not what I am striving for in my paintings.”

Haughton will give a presentation about his work on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. at the gallery.The gallery, at 3352 Dunbar St., is open noon to 5 p.m. daily. See www.haughton-art.ca or www.visualspace.ca.

Singing the blues for Christmas It’s time to get ready for a blues Christmas.

Uncle Wiggly’s Hot Shoes Blues Band is coming to town with its Tribute to the Blues Songs of Christmas.

The band is taking to the stage at the Columbia Theatre on Friday, Dec. 2.

The show is a collection of traditional blues, swing and R&B Christmas tunes from the 1920s through the 1960s, as performed by the likes of Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Charles Brown, Etta James and many more.

“This is not the usual Christmas show of standard Christmas carols you know, but a tribute that gives you a look into the souls of these fabulous blues legends by sharing the Christmas blues songs written by them,” says a press release from the band. “You will find it a very refreshing take on a Christmas music show.”

Jen Arbo Passion

Building communities Why is she in the news?

New Westminster’s 2016 Citizen of the Year, Jen Arbo, moved to the Royal City from tiny Parksville, B.C. on Vancouver Island in 1994.

Like many a youth, she moved to get out of her small hometown, she said, but has spent the better part of the last two decades working to create in New West some of the smalltown sense of community and connectedness she left behind.

President of the Royal City Farmers Market, operational support director for KidSport, member of the city’s community grant committee, intelligent city advisory committee and public engagement

task force, Pecha Kucha organizing committee member, organizer of three Vancouver Foundation small neighbourhood grant projects, Operation Red Nose volunteer, managing editor of Tenth to the Fraser and co-founder of Hyack Interactive, Arbo’s involvement in the community has been prolific and wide ranging.

The Record sat down with the local entrepreneur and community builder for a chat. Here’s that conversation edited for space. For the full interview, go to www.newwestrecord. ca.

- By Cornelia Naylor

accepted to Langara’s journalism school at the same time, and I chose Douglas College because it was less money in bus passes.

When and why did you move to New West?

I moved to New West around ’94. I was, like most people who are 18 or 19, looking to escape the small town. I originally landed in Vancouver for about six months or so and then my roommate and I decided that we both had jobs sort of more easterly, so we decided to find an apartment in New West. So I moved out here, and in ’97 I started at Douglas (College).

What did you take at Douglas?

I’m a graduate of the print futures professional writing program. … I was

Why’d you stay in New West?

It’s an easy place to live for all the reasons New West likes to talk about it: It’s centrally located, it’s super transit friendly. I didn’t have a car at the time, so everything I did was based on buses and SkyTrain. And I found that it was sort of – and, again, this might as well be New West’s tagline – but it was a small-town feel in a city. Having come from a sleepy little town on Vancouver Island, it kind of was that nice middle ground for me.

son?

It wasn’t until I moved to a city and I felt that there was kind of a lessening of that connection that you get when you live in a super rural area, where you really can go and play with the other kids all day and nobody notices. I moved to the city and I felt like you had to almost manufacture connection to a degree, you had to manufacture engagement to a degree. I started realizing I had spare time and I could volunteer for things and that I could help out.

But I lived here and graduated from Douglas before I really started getting involved.

Have you always been a publicly involved per-

What difference has that made?

One is I just feel more empowered to say hello to strangers. I feel a little bit more comfortable inserting myself into things because I’ve done it enough now that I’m pretty comfortable with idea of just sort of going, ‘Hi, I’m Jen. Can I help?’ It’s sort of emboldened me, if you will, to feel more comfortable that I belong here and that the city’s something that I’m a part of and not just living in.

Why did you originally get involved in the farmers market?

I needed a job (laughs).

I had worked for a company for 13 years before I went off on my mat leave.

The work that I was doing, although it paid the bills,

wasn’t the most meaningful work, and the equation of childcare versus wages was not a good equation. … I was trying to find a creative way to be able to stay home a bit more with my son. …

It was just really good timing and the farmers market needed someone, and the job was really flexible. I could do it from home.

How do you feel about the way the farmers market is doing now?

The farmers market is a really healthy organization.

It’s got a number of committed board members, also some committed staff.

We’re all thinking on the same page about what the farmers market’s role is in the community, that blend

of providing a fun event, a food shopping place and also being, on a level, advocates for food security.We’re just about to enter our 10th year, which is great.We have a lot of good systems in place and a lot of good processes in place, so, as an organization, it feels like we’re in a good place and we’re headed in the right direction and that we’re important to the community and there’s good reason for us to continue the work we do.

So Tenth to the Fraser, what inspired your involvement with that?

I was asked. In 2008, I was at home with a newborn and I wrote a long, ranty, angry post on my Continued on page 20

Politics not in the cards ... yet

Continued from page 19

personal blog about people who don’t shovel their sidewalks because I was out with my stroller or baby carrier constantly tripping and slipping. Briana Tomkinson, who owned the site, reached out and asked if she could republish my rant on her website. I was like, ‘Sure.’ As it turned out, Briana and I had a lot of things in common. She had a young kid and was pregnant with her next. So we started hanging out and socializing.There were a lot of good conversations about politics and community building.

What about taking it to print?

When they moved away last December, Briana offered the website to me to take over. I said sure, and then along with Joanna Bartels, we decided that a bimonthly print magazine would be something that would be well received.We both felt that there was a missing community magazine component to the com-

munity. ...We decided to go with a kind of community culture magazine and just go bi-monthly.

How did you get involved in KidSport?

I’ve been involved in KidSport for three or four years, and actually (Steel & Oak owner) Jorden Foss is the reason that I’m involved in KidSport. He was involved in KidSport through some friends of his, ... and I guess he’d seen some of my abilities to be organized and efficient, and he asked if I would be interested in volunteering. I had some spare time and I said sure. I was a registrar for KidSport for about three years. ... Now I’m technically the operational support director.

I love the New West Love Letter to Myself.

Did you write one?

I did.

What did it say?

I can’t tell you. I can’t tell you for a couple years. All of the New West love letters are in a box in my of-

Any chance you’ll go into politics in the future?

I get asked that a lot. I prefer to be a little bit behind the scenes. I’m not saying it’ll never happen, but it’s not on my immediate radar. Kale’s only eight, and he’s actively involved in karate and theatre, so I have to be really mindful that if I want to continue volunteering with all these organizations, there won’t be time to get into politics. Getting into politics means I would step down on a lot of boards, and I don’t know that I’m ready to do that yet.

You seem very entrepreneurial. Do you ever see yourself settling into just one thing?

(Laughs) I would love to. I’d have more time to read books. I can’t help myself if I see a project or if I see something that just needs a little boost, a little push to get going. I like being involved.When I was in school, my teachers would have said that I’m great at starting projects and not as good at finishing project.That’s also, I think, part of the entrepreneurial spirit, that you love that exhilarating excitement of a new project and making something happen and then being able to hand it off to people.

Given all of this, what does this award mean to you?

I don’t think anyone volunteers because they have an expectation of winning awards. I don’t think that’s anyone’s inspiration that they might win an award, but to be nominated by people I respect and admire and to be nominated with people I respect and admire, it’s pretty humbling.

Community Poppy project continues Continued from page 23 she said. “People were dropping them off.”

The Poppy Project’s organizers estimate it takes about 10 poppies to cover a square foot, which means 500 poppies would create a five-by 10-foot blanket. Local knitters will continue to make poppies in the hopes of making enough to put together a blanket in time for next year’s Remembrance Day. “We are going to designate the 11th of each month to have a poppy-thon and keep it going. I think we can get there for next year if we just keep it going,”Waller said. “People loved making them. I have to say they thought they were beauti-

ful, and they are, and they loved it.”

In addition to attending the monthly poppy-thons, people are also welcome to make poppies at home.

More details about the monthly events will be posted on the CosyYarn Facebook page.

Subsequently, the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and more cravings for sweets and starchy foods, which #40 NPN 80061535 should be avoided. Truthful statements from real people: ! My medical indicated prediabetes. I took Blood Sugar Metabolism. When retested, my readings were fine.

Community Safe ride program returns Proceeds from Operation Red Nose campaign in NewWest, Burnaby,TriCities support KidSport Holiday revellers take note, Operation Red Nose is once again cruising the streets of New Westminster helping folks get home safe.

Starting this Friday, volunteers in red vests will be out and about picking up anyone in need of a ride home after one too many libations of the alcoholic variety. Unlike taxi services, Operation Red Nose volunteers pick you up and drive you back in your own car.

The service will be available from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.

on Nov. 25 and 26, and Dec. 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17 and on NewYear’s Eve, Dec. 31.

This is the fourth year the service has been offered in New Westminster. Last year, Operation Red Nose volunteers provided 285 rides to folks in the Royal City and neighbouring Burnaby. Rides are by donation with all proceeds going towards KidSport. Last year’s campaign raised more than $9,000, which allowed 125 kids to participate in a full season of organized sports.

Operation Red Nose is also looking for volunteers.

Anyone interested must complete a criminal record check before submitting an application. For more information or to download an application, go to https://operationrednosetricities.com.

If you need a safe ride home on any of the nights Operation Red Nose is in service, call 778-866-6673.

Community Top cop has Royal roots NewWest resident is the new chief of Surrey RCMP Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

There’s a new top cop in Surrey, and he just happens to be from the Royal City.

Chief Supt. Dwayne McDonald, who lives in the Royal City with his wife and three children, was appointed the Surrey RCMP’s officer in charge during a ceremony in October.

The 21-year RCMP veteran grew up in Surrey, and in 1995 he joined the mounted police and was assigned his first post at the Burnaby RCMP, according to a press release.

There he rose through the ranks, working in several different sections, including general duty, community special sections, Strike Force, major crime and the Emergency Response Team.

After 12 years at the Burnaby detachment, McDonald transferred to the Integrat-

ed Homicide Investigation Team. He would serve four years with the homicide team before being transferred over to the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. (the province’s anti-gang unit), the release noted.

In 2012, McDonald received his commission with the RCMP and was promoted to inspector, during which time he served as the operations officer/senior investigator for the anti-gang unit.Two years later he was promoted again, this time to superintendent, and moved back to the homicide team as the officer in charge, overseeing the largest homicide unit in Canada with 110 police officers, civilian members and public service employees, according to the release.

This month, McDonald was promoted to chief superintendent and made

New job: Dwayne McDonald is the new chief superintendent of the Surrey RCMP. He lives with his family in New Westminster.

the officer in charge of the Surrey RCMP, the largest RCMP detachment in the country. He takes over the vacated space left behind

by Asst. Commissioner Bill Fordy, who was recently promoted himself.

elcome to our fourth edition of the New Westminster Profiles of Excellence, a very special annual publication of the Record.

The men and women profiled in the following pages come from a wide variety of backgrounds, education, experience and expertise, but they all share something in common: a commitment to excellence that is second to none.

Their dedication and passion in both professional and personal endeavours have bred success on all levels, making them leaders not just in their respective fields but in the community as well. 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. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lara Graham, Associate Publisher, New Westminster Record SPONSORED CONTENT

“It’s another way for us to provide what our customers need, and to leave them with a great experience,” said Huhn. Two of the New Westminster stores were previously owned by other grocery chains, and welcoming the staff from those sites into the Save-On-Foods family has been a great experience, says Huhn.

“It’s really given us a great mix of experiences, and I’ve had so many staff say how great it is to be part of the Save-On team,” he said. “It’s been a lot of change and it’s been great.”

he best of the past, present and future: it could be the motto for the three New Westminster locations of Save-On-Foods.

The company has been a hometown favourite in B.C. since it first began more than 100 years ago, but it’s also at the cutting edge of grocery services as it continues to grow and expand.

For Michael Huhn, that’s just part of what has made the company such a success in this town and throughout the province – and what will continue to help it lead the way for customers into its second century.

Huhn is the store manager at the Sapperton location of Save-On-Foods. The city boasts two more locations, one at Royal City Centre and another at Columbia Square.

Huhn says that having three stores in the community helps provide their unique level of customer service and extensive product line to customers around the city and beyond.

“We really do go that extra mile, it’s not just an expression,” said Huhn, of the service that shoppers will find at the local SaveOn-Foods locations.

“We provide exceptional customer service, it’s part of operational focus from the top of the company through all the staff right in the store.”

It’s earned them a loyal customer base, and many of the people Michael Huhn is the store manager that they see for the Sapperton location of each week are Save-On-Foods. familiar faces – or new customers checking out what’s on offer.

“We love seeing our customers back again and again.

We absolutely get to know people and recognize them,” he said. “At the same time, it’s wonderful to have a new customer arrive – maybe they’ve heard about our service or they’re looking for a particular thing we can offer here.”

For example, the stores have expanded their hot-andready meals – foods that are already prepared, and are ready to pick up for a quick meal.

“We try to always be ahead of the curve, updating our facilities and our offerings, whether that’s a service or a specialty counter, or a focus on local products, and so on,” said Huhn.

That can also mean looking at new technology as a way to offer expanded services. At the Sapperton location, online shopping with delivery or in-store pickup has been a big hit over the last year.

The three stores sponsor a variety of local events, sports teams and more, including Columbia StrEAT Food Truck Festival, Sapperton Days, Hyack Football, Uptown Live and others.

Like their counterparts in other communities, the local stores also help fundraise for B.C. Children’s Hospital.

“That’s our main focus across the entire company – we direct a lot of our fundraising efforts to B.C. Children’s Hospital, because there are children who are patients there from every community, from every town,” he said. “It means a lot to us to be able to help that way.”

rowth is a critical goal for any business.

But for Darcy Schlechtleitner, the team lead of ReThink Real Estate, the kind of growth – and how it happens – is even more important.

“We’re growing – and we’re growing up,” said Darcy.

“It’s exactly what I hoped for. Growing just for the sake of getting bigger is never the goal – but growing through education, through referrals, through hard work, building a better team, that’s something to be proud of.”

Best of all, says Darcy, their core values are the same today as they were when ReThink was born.

“I want a fantastic business, but most of all I want my clients to be ecstatic about the process, I want them to be comfortable, to have learned something, to have felt that we were with them every step. That’s the best part: to feel that you were a real safety net for someone.

Moving can be a stressful time, and it’s amazing to be there for someone,” she says. “And I want my team to know that we are all here for each other. One of our values is, always, family first. When you have a great team like this, you can put your families first and your clients first – everyone here works together, so if something comes up for one of us, and we have to be away, anyone else can step in with the Darcy Schlechtleitner is the same expertise founder of Rethink Real Estate. and the same knowledge.”

That approach, says Darcy, is the best of both worlds.

“In a way, it’s like having 10 people for the price of 1 – you get us all, when you’re a client.”

ReThink, under the Keller Williams Elite Realty umbrella, has built a strong reputation for itself – in large part, says Darcy, by really standing out from the crowd.

“We do things differently here, and we’re proud of that,” she said. “We are always evaluating our approaches, always learning, finding better ways.”

Looking at the industry from a new angle has been working for Darcy since she founded ReThink. In fact, the name itself came from a period of time almost 10 years ago when the housing market had “cooled off” a little, allowing Darcy time to re-evaluate and re-consider the traditional approaches to real estate.

That led her to develop new and innovative ways to tackle the process of buying and selling homes – a full-service approach (packing, storage, cleaning,

As for her their home base here in the Royal City, Darcy says she’s always learning more about urban planning, city development and keeping her finger on the pulse of change.

“It’s fascinating to me, all of it,” she said.

“And I just love this community so much, it’s so great to be in the know about what’s coming.

There’s so much happening here and I think it’s just an exciting time to be working here.”

Her enthusiasm is continuing to pay off.

“We’re so busy I can’t even see my desk,” she laughs. “I would not have it any other way.”

Leck notes that “anchor” businesses like Safeway and Landmark often provide jobs for local residents.

“We have shopping centres across Canada, and those anchor stores employ a lot of local people, just like the small businesses do,” she said. “It’s your neighbours and friends.”

For Leck, it’s an interesting homecoming.

“I didn’t grow up in this city but we came here to do our shopping, we came here for the stores,” she recalls. “This downtown area has been known for that for a long time, it’s

‘‘

t’s as true now as it’s ever been: location is king.

For the Shops At New West, location is the primary foundation around which the entire operation is built – literally.

Situated at the New Westminster SkyTrain station, the shopping centre – anchored with a Safeway grocery store and home to more than 40 fellow tenants – sees an estimated 250,000 people pass through the station in any given weekday.

And the location, bordered by Carnarvon, Eighth Street, Columbia and McInnes Street, puts it smack dab in the heart of the Royal City’s historic downtown shopping district.

It’s the sort of spot that businesses dream of being part of.

But for senior property manager Daniella Leck, the location has another benefit: it allows the Shops At New West to truly be part of the community itself.

“That’s really important for us – we don’t want to just be in the community, we want to be part of it, now and going forward into the future,” said Leck. “This is a wonderful community and we’re so excited to be here. There’s opportunities for expansion and growth as a business, but also important opportunities for us, and for our tenants, to be part of this area in the coming years.”

Daniella Leck is the senior property Leck notes manager for Shops at New West. that she recently attended a town hall meeting about the growth of the area and that feedback from the community is critical.

“The more we hear from people, the better we can provide the services that they want and need,” she said.

“I want everyone to have a positive experience here.”

Shops At New West is managed by First Capital Realty Inc., which owns approximately 25 million square feet of retail space across Canada.

The property was purchased by FCR in 2012 and currently includes a roster of tenants over several floors at the New Westminster station including Landmark Cinemas, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, New West Laptops, and several dozen more, including an array of restaurants.

“Our company motto at First Capital is ‘shopping for everyday life’ – and for me, that’s where our focus on excellence really comes in. It’s that pride of ownership, having tenants who are proud to be part of Shops At

absolutely part of the history here. So it’s interesting to be part of that in a really new way.

We’re fortunate to be part of this city, and to be so ideally situated.”

Leck says they couldn’t be happier with how the businesses have been received so far and they are keeping a close eye on future plans.

“We do have more leasing opportunities on the property and we’re looking for the right tenants – the businesses that will be here for the long term. We have four towers being built around us, and that will change things too; we have a vacant lot next to the property so over time we’ll be really growing here.”

The region’s newest public art gallery is all of these things and more, with a focus on sharing provocative art from around the globe. But the words that DirectorCurator team Gordon Duggan and Sarah Joyce are proudest of? Welcoming. Inviting. Moving. Inspiring.

“Right from the beginning we wanted that sense of engagement; an open door policy; welcoming all visitors including those new to art and unfamiliar with galleries. We wanted everyone to feel at home here.”

To help this along, the pair developed a radical change from the usual gallery-viewing experience.

“Early on we began having discussions with our visitors,” said Duggan. “We would walk through the gallery and chat about the work. We’re moving away from the model that communicates an exhibition primarily through text panels on walls, toward the needs of individual viewers.

We’ve got to respond to art academics, artists, and kids in different ways.”

Both Duggan and Joyce feel this has given visitors a deeper appreciation of art. It also lets the curators hear the feedback.

“It’s so Gordon Duggan leads a group of valuable, to visitors through the gallery. hear what people are thinking and feeling, hear how they’re responding. It helps us understand our audience and build better exhibitions.” The success of this approach has, in no small part, been buoyed by a series of exhibitions that bring well-known international artists together with emerging artists.

“At the beginning, we weren’t sure how the gallery would be received,” said Joyce. “But we’ve seen over 45,000 people through the gallery and there has been overwhelmingly positive feedback. It’s been amazing … the excitement and enthusiasm.”

Duggan says the response is endlessly rewarding.

He talks about the range of audience, such as the man who had never been to a gallery but who now visits three times a week. Or the grandmother who dragged her grandchild to the first exhibition in a plastic wagon – two years later the child now runs into the gallery herself. Or the homeless man who asked if he, too, would be permitted inside. Or the teen duo, who

“We’re keen on education and have great partnerships going with New Westminster and Vancouver universities, colleges and schools.”

Anvil Centre provides the gallery with space for diverse events such as artist walks, openings, films, workshops and public events.

The two curators say they can’t wait to see what the future will bring; if the first two years is any indication, it will be continued success and increasing international recognition.

and serve those buildings. That’s our focus right now, every week: where are those places and how do we do it.”

At the same time, the company is determined to maintain that customer-first atmosphere that has helped it grow to this point.

“That goal of growth is intertwined with a goal of maintaining and protecting that helpful outlook, that cohesive approach we have to customer service,” said Robertson.

“We do not want to fall into the trap of the big corporate culture that affects the customer’s perception and experience.” Currently the team at Novus boasts about 65 staff, all of whom hold the same values as the leadership team.

‘‘

here are certain truths in business that never change, no matter how much the world itself evolves.

“The customer comes first” is not just a theory at Novus, but an approach that has helped drive and grow the business year after year.

“We are a communications service provider that puts customers first,” said Donna Robertson, Co-President and CLO. “We provide all the services – Internet, TV, digital phone – that the other telecommunications companies provide, but we are committed to remaining cost effective and most of all, to always, consistently, providing the best technical help, the best customer service, the best experience for our clients.”

“It’s a goal many companies aspire to, or talk about, but it’s not always achieved.”

“I think many of our customers have had poor experiences with some of the big providers – just not as attentive, not caring as much – and then they come to us and they can’t believe what a priority that is for us,” said fellow CoPresident and CFO Doug Holman.

Their efforts haven’t gone unnoticed.

“We get love letters, we really do,” laughed Robertson.

“We get emails and messages from customers every single week telling us how helpful our customer Doug Holman and service Donna Robertson of Novus. representatives were, or about a positive experience with an installer or someone they spoke to. We want to be helpful – if there was one word to sum it up, that would be it – and to do that we often go above and beyond the call of duty for our customers.”

The company provides services to multiple dwelling units, such as condominiums or rental apartments in the Metro Vancouver region, including Vancouver, and some parts of Surrey, Coquitlam, Burnaby and Richmond.

Potential customers can find out online if their building is already connected to Novus, which gives them an alternate choice to the other providers in Metro Vancouver.

“We continue to expand out, and to service more and more high-rise towers throughout the Lower Mainland,” said Holman. “The estimate is that currently there are about 2,000 buildings in Metro Vancouver that fit our profile, and we’re already in about 450 of those, so the challenge for us now is to grow into other areas

“We have a great vibe here, many of our staff have been working here together for a long time, and it’s a wonderful team,” said Holman.

That friendly atmosphere (yes, dogs are welcome, and co-workers have jumped in to lend a hand when someone is having a scheduling challenge due to a sick child, for example) helps support the company’s customer-service goals.

A happy team leads to happy customers – and both are important to Robertson and Holman as they consider the future.

“We have great plans for Novus, and we’re excited about what’s ahead,” said Robertson.

‘‘

We find the world’s best grapes, and we bring them here to B.C. – Bob Fraser

The new company is currently in the process of raising investment funds for the first urban winery in Vancouver, but they’re certainly not new to the industry: Revelation merged earlier this year with Pacific Breeze Winery in New Westminster.

“We’re already making some of the best wines in Canada here at Pacific Breeze,” he said. “These are top wines, the best grapes. Pacific Breeze has an incredible reputation in the industry, and dozens of awards as a result.”

Thanks to a provincial business venture program, investors can take advantage of a 30 per cent tax credit incentive; investments are also RRSP eligible, which provides additional tax offsets.

‘‘

t’s a simple concept with huge potential: find the best grapes from the premier vineyards around the globe, and then turn them into top-notch wines right here in B.C. The team at Revelation Cellars intend to do just that – but with an added twist for local wine lovers.

“Our goal is to have a network of urban wineries – our first ones here in B.C., then across Canada, the US and eventually the world,” said Bob Fraser, Chief Executive Officer for Revelation.

Fraser notes the traditional model of winemaking has been land-based: specific varietals of grapes are grown in a vineyard – be it in Italy, Chile or the Okanagan – and wine from those grapes is made onsite, or very nearby.

Revelation Cellars, on the other hand, has a modern take on that timeless tradition of winemaking.

“We find the world’s best grapes, and we bring them here to B.C.” Fraser said. “There are famous vineyards around the world and we can say ‘Yes, we want some of that, and we want some of this’ and we have it brought home to work with here.”

There are other companies that import grapes, but the plan to create fully operational urban wineries – gathering places where people can enjoy wine and food, a tour, social visit or a great night out – is something that sets Revelation apart.

The team at Revelation Cellars “It’s one is excited about the future of thing to have urban wineries. a wine bar or a demonstration winery, but we will be full commercial wineries,” explains Chief Operating Officer Gary Symons.

“The benefit for clients is that you can really bring them into the wine making process, give them access to the experience and the knowledge.”

Symons, a wine lover himself who has travelled through many of the world’s most renowned wine regions, says the Okanagan is his favourite – but even so close to home, not everyone can take advantage of the experience.

“To have a full winery right here is really offering something new,” he said. There’s another benefit for local wine drinkers: simply put, the cost of a great bottle of wine drops when it is the materials that are imported, rather than the final product.

“We don’t pay duty on grapes, so that bottle that’s going to cost you $150 after it’s been imported from elsewhere in the world, we can make that bottle here in the range of $60.”

“We want people to be part of this from the ground up,” said Symons. “We think this is an exciting adventure, the time is right and people are really interested.”

At the end of the day – business plans and tax credits aside – the team behind Revelation Cellars hope to see their wineries providing something a little more symbolic: the simple experience of enjoying a great wine.

“Wine is fun, it’s interesting, and fascinating, and there’s always something new to learn,” said Fraser. “That’s the heart of it: let’s make the best wines, and enjoy the best wines, and do it right here at home.”

“I think we have an amazing team who are great at making sure that patients feel comfortable and happy while they’re here,” she said. “Our clinic is modern and up-to-date. We all put our patients first, from the dentists to the hygienists, that’s our primary focus every single day.”

Liang grew up in Vancouver and later obtained a degree in science from UBC, then graduated from the School of Dental Medicine at Boston University.

“I decided on dentistry because it’s an enjoyable blend of both science and art. You get to work with people every day and every day is different.”

The clinic has been operating in New Westminster for more than 50 years, for the last seven years under the ownership of Dr. Darcy Murphy.

“We have patients that have been coming here for decades, some of which are multiple generations Dentist Karen Liang works with of the same Dr. Darcy Murphy at Queen’s Park families.

It’s a full spectrum of patient care.”

Liang says that the team works well together in part because everyone is in agreement on a patient-first approach and a warm, welcoming environment is important to everyone there.

“We really want that. Everything has been renovated within the last four years, so it’s very modern but also very homey and inviting,” she said.

Their second floor office in the Princess Medical Building on Sixth Street is airy, bright and spacious.

Services at the clinic range from family dentisty, to implant surgery, oral sedation, botox and more. They are also known for helping lead the way with a new technique called PST, or Pinhole Surgical Technique, a no-scalpel, no-suture alternative for gum grafts.

Liang hopes they’ll be there to serve the Royal City for a long time to come, welcoming both old and new patients well into the future.

CARING FOR SENIORS IN NEW WESTMINSTER

Karaoke Scammers target seniors returns Seniors are asked to report fraud incidents to police Century House is reminding seniors of the need to be wary of scammers.

“Over the last few months there have been a number of fraud phone calls and emails in the community,” says a notice in the centre’s newsletter.

“Please ask a family member or friend if you are uncertain about a phone call or email.”

Anyone who has encountered a fraud situation is asked to report it to New Westminster Police Department or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at

Continued from page 32 beverages may be purchased separately on the day of the lunch. ! Cal’s Karaoke returns to Century House on Saturday, Dec. 17. Host Cal Donnelly will sing a few tunes and invite others to join in on the fun. Refreshments will be served from 12:30 to 2 p.m. and karaoke will run from 1 to 3 p.m.

Admission is $5 for members and $6 for non-members.

For tickets, call Century House at 604-519-1066.

1-888-495-8501 or www. antifraudcentre.ca.

The New Westminster Police Department’s website states that personal safety and crime prevention tips apply to everyone regardless of income, but seniors are more vulnerable because they tend to be very trusting of people and have a desire to help others.

In recent years, seniors have been contacted by people claiming to be relatives – or friends of relatives – in need of money for a variety of emergency situations.

Fraud can come in many forms Continued from page 45 such as birthdates, credit card numbers, social insurance numbers, bank card PIN numbers and family members’ names.

According to the Government of Canada, fraud is the number 1 crime against older Canadians.

“People who commit fraud and scams are commonly called con artists.

Con artists don't just target people who have a lot of money. A con artist may steal a small amount from many people,” says the government’s website. “They use a variety of ways to reach people, including the internet, phone calls and even door-to-door visits.”

Protect yourself: "Keep personal documents in a secure place.

"Never tell another person your PIN or account passwords and cover your hand

The Government of Canada website advises taxpayers to be vigilant when contacted by phone, mail, text message or email by people claiming to be from Canada Revenue Agency and requiring personal information.

“These scams may insist that this personal information is needed so the taxpayer can receive a refund or benefit payment,” states the website. “Cases of fraudulent communication could also involve threatening or coercive language to scare individuals into paying fictitious debt to the CRA. Other communications urge taxpayers to visit a fake CRA website where the taxpayer is then asked to when entering your PIN at bank machines.

Scam prevention With more and more seniors surfing the web, the New Westminster Public Library wants to help people avoid being duped online.

The library is holding a session that aims to help people protect their privacy and avoid scams, by providing new technology skills.The session is taking

place on Sunday Dec. 4 from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

Community members can register at the reference desk (second floor of the library at 716 Sixth Ave.) or call 604-5274665.The course has a $5 refundable registration free and participants must do a quick skill assessment.

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY November 24, 2016 53

COLUMBIA SQUARE for furry and feathered friends The holidays can be stressful for anyone, but especially for pets. Dogs, cats and other animal friends don’t understand what all the fuss is about, or why their schedules and routines have been interrupted.

Doing your best to stick to their routine, even during family visits and Christmas parties, will help. Bosley’s

by Pet Valu recommends putting small pets in a separate room, where they can feel safe away from the commotion. Even cats and dogs can do with a break from the hustle and bustle, so if they have comfortable space they can retreat to, they’ll be much happier.

And it doesn’t hurt to be generous with them. After all, pets love a present, too. Bosley’s also recommends Head to Tail Calming Treats for dogs and cats, to help them relax.

Bosley’s in Columbia Square has many different toys and treats for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds and small furry pets.

For dogs, there are chew toys like the corduroy elephants and donkeys

by Jump. But one of the most beloved toys for any pooch is the Chuckit – a fantastically fun sport launcher that will happily wear out Fido in no time.

For true luxury, though, a good dog

bed is a great gift for a pup, especially if there is travelling involved in your holiday plans. Bailey and Bella have a line of beds for every size of dog, and for every style of home. There are C.$ /B55$1 .$88*5'?05$ 0@B1 ?$D6% C.$ cable knit bolster beds, and even micro velvet pet caves, for dogs who want to get away from it all.

There are many fun toys for cats, as well, such as crinkle toys, catnip toys and lasers. And owners can even go with a holiday theme, like the snowman-decorated catnip sack.

But for a really happy kitty, interactive toys are a great pick. The Catit Senses Play Circuit is made 67$A*EAB11& !08 ABC63 enjoyment.

Four-legged family members aren’t the only ones who could use some extra attention at this time of year. Birds might not fetch sticks, but they do like to play. Bells and mirrors

delight them, but there are also some special items that you can pick up at Bosley’s. Fetch It Pets makes products like Galactic Crunch, with natural materials including wicker planets, vine stars and wooden pieces. The company also makes a piñata for birds – Pete the >B880C4 - D008 *5 C.$ ?BA2 AB5 ?$ E11$D with treats. And JW Pets toys make it possible for birds to bowl, play basketball, or play guitar – at least, play guitar-shaped toys. And toys aren’t just ideal for your own pets. They make great gifts for all of the animal lovers in your life.

RIVER MARKET picks for tots this season The River Market at Westminster Quay is a lovely 670C C0 ,$B5D$8% 6.07% E5D $5C$8CB*5,$5C B5D 6C07 for a delicious meal or a treat. It’s an ideal spot to get some Christmas shopping done while looking out on the beautiful Fraser River, but staying warm and indoors.

The River Market is also home to a small but special shop, Shnoo and the Pachooch.

The toy store may be tiny, but it is also packed full of fun. From toys on wheels, to doodle dolls, to donut snow tubes – there are toys to delight and entertainment children of every age (including those adults who choose to never grow up at all).

One pick that’s popular with the owner’s son is the HAPE Quadrilla block set. It was created by the makers of those bead and wire maze contraptions that can ?$ !0#5D *5 D0AC0863 0!EA$6 $@$8&).$8$ ( C.$ C0& C0Ddlers refuse to leave behind. So the people at HAPE have plenty of experience engaging and entertaining little ones.

The Quadrilla set can be built again and again in different formations, and children can then drop marbles into their creation and watch them slide all the way down. It’s recommended for ages four and up, but children as young as two or three enjoy it, too.

For those looking for special kids clothing for the holidays, the shop carries many items from local mother-artisans. These include onesies and T-shirts with cute sayings and designs, such as the Christmas-

themed Santa Squad shirt. The store also inspires make-believe sessions with its dress-up clothing. And for those kids who like to make believe they’re chefs, you can bring that dream to reality with fun and stylish aprons for children. These come in an array of prints and patterns, and give kids a chance to help with the holiday baking, as well as future meals. It’s a great way to engage them in a new but practical form of creative play.

When it comes to stockings, it’s the little things that count. A favourite of older kids who visit the shop is Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty. The putty comes in many different colours and even different effects, including

glow in the dark. And puttyworld.com offers a number of tricks that can be done with the putty, too.

Whether you’re looking for toys that teach, toys that spark the imagination, toys that comfort or toys that simply take a child’s energy and excitement and give it a joyous outlet, this little toy shop can provide. There are many options available for babies, toddlers and older children.

Whatever your little one has on their Christmas list, Shnoo and the Pachooch most likely has something just right sitting on its shelves. For more suggestions on the perfect present, speak to the staff for recommendations based on age and interests.

ROYAL CITY CENTRE Keep the shiny and bright Silver and gold, silver and gold, everyone wishes for silver and gold. When it comes to Christmas carols, Burl Ives said it best.

From decorations to jewellery, a little glitter adds to the warmth of the season.

One of the best places for sparkle in the city is Verona Jewellers in Royal City Centre.

And though the Canadian diamonds and other jewellery are classic choices when it comes to gifts, there are

other bright and beautiful gift options at the shop.

Ornate Christmas decorations hang in a case at the entrance, gleaming hues of red, green, and yes, silver and gold.

They dangle and catch the overhead lights, showing just how brilliant they would look on a Christmas tree. The glass baubles are a perfect gift to adorn any home, but for those looking for something smaller and simpler, there is also a sweet little collection of snowmen ornaments, as well.

Another special holidaythemed gift idea is the collection of hand-painted vases at the back of the store. One in particular features a snowman scene, allowing the light to glint through the deep blues and reds. But there are also year-round options, such as a taller vase adorned with a garden’s worth of painted blossoms. Any of the vases would make an ideal vessel for a holiday arrangement, a lovely decoration this sea-

son and for years to come.

Along with the glass ornaments and vases, the store has crystal ware and other decorative items, 6#A. B6 E'#8*5$6 to commemorate a variety of moments in life. =*110) 98$$ E'#8*5$6 B8$ B popular option. The store’s current offerings include a large nativity set, with the

OUR PAST

A brief history of trees Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

In gathering information on trees in New Westminster, especially some with interesting stories and historical connections, we came across a couple of excellent examples to look at.

One relates to a single tree and the other to a local park and many specimens.

In 1900, an article headlined “An Old Landmark” commented on the removal of a tree from the downtown area of New Westminster.The location was, and still is, the site of the old courthouse between Carnarvon and Clarkson streets. “The large cherry tree which was cut down yesterday and is being removed from Courthouse square, … was probably the oldest landmark of its kind in the city.”

According to the story, the tree was planted by an early settler named Murphy, who planted it in the early 1860s in the post office garden in that spot at that time.

The tree was looked after by

the postmaster, Mr. Spalding, as well as by Mr. Kennedy, who is given credit for pruning it for the first time. Apparently, many people wanted to remember the tree and requested “a relic of this interesting and historic landmark.” Anyone reading this today have a piece of this tree sitting on their mantle? Let us know.

In 1945, another article described trees planted in Queen’s Park by visiting dignitaries for ceremonial reasons.The author noted, “Are they forgotten, those trees planted in Queen’s Park by famous people on visits to New Westminster on special occasions. … Actually they are.”

The writer pointed out that “the trees are unknown to the residents except for a few who were present at several of the ceremonies.”

One of the “few” in 1945 was W.A. Patchell, who not only took great delight in pointing out the important trees but also had prepared a short history of some of them and had given it to the park superintendent.Trees that were singled out by species and location were those planted by Lady Stanley, Lady Aberdeen, the Duke of Windsor when he was the Prince of Wales, Lady Willingdon and the Earl of Athlone.

These are both very interesting newspaper reports.

ASK A VETERINARIAN

Q A

I am interested in rescuing a dog or a cat.

How can I do this?

There are many options for you including shelters, humane societies or rescue groups. Several websites offer databases that make it easy to DR. MANJU ARORA search for local rescue groups including Petfinder.com. Adopting a pet is a big decision. Before you decide to adopt, consider your lifestyle to ensure you and your family have the time and resources to properly care for a pet. Also, consider the expenses associated with owning a dog or cat including veterinary care and pet insurance premiums. Prior to adopting your pet, talk to your veterinarian to ensure your new family member will be a good fit. Newly adopted pets should have a health exam soon after coming home. Your veterinary team will provide you with the information you need to keep your new pet in optimal health!

Q A

How to begin effective job search?

• Set up an appropriate email and voicemail so employers can leave messages; remember if there is no contact, they will move on to the next candidate.

• Have an up-to-date resume & cover letter. You will need a polished, BRIAN HUNJAN professional & targeted copy: paper Community Relations and e-copy.

Coordinator • Know where and how to find jobs, start with your WorkBC centre.

• Know some job search tactics and expectations. Ask for business card when dropping off a resume, for follow up. Dress code & etiquette: not chewing gum at interview! Finding what employer will ask on phone or interview, equips you with strategic responses. Send thank you card post-interview.

CAN SLEEP

V

What is obstructive sleep apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs due to airway collapse while you are sleeping, and prevents air from reaching your lungs. The obstruction may be due to a large tongue, extra tissue or decreased muscle tone holding the airway open. As the airways collapse they can cause shallow breathing or periods of apnea.

A breathing pause can last for 10 seconds or more and is usually accompanied by a drop in oxygen levels in the blood. Apneas and hypopneas can occur multiple times an hour.

This puts a strain on the heart and can lead to serious health conditions. Talk to your doctor about getting tested for obstructive sleep apnea and discuss treatment options with them if you have sleep apnea.

Sleep is just as important to your health as diet and exercise, so it is important to make it a priority and seek treatment if you are struggling with getting good quality sleep. We spend one third of our lives sleeping, therefore it’s crucial to our health and well-being. When sleep is disrupted it can have negative effect on our family life and relationships and the way in which we interact socially.

The Holiday season is a busy time and we challenge you to make sleep a priority this month! If you are struggling to get a good night’s sleep, talk to your doctor and if you think you have sleep apnea, get tested and seek treatment. We are here to help. Let’s talk about sleep and how we can get you dreaming!

ASK AN OPTOMETRIST

Q A

At what age can my child wear contact lenses?

Contact lenses are a great option for children especially for physical activities. However, a child must be mature enough to tolerate contacts and be motivated to wear DR. JENNIFER DURST them. There is no set age as every child is unique. It’s helpful if parents assess how well their child keeps up with her chores like keeping her bedroom tidy, making his bed and doing things without being told.

A proper contact lens fitting and training is absolutely necessary to ensure the lenses fit the eye, and to teach your child good hygiene, proper replacement and disinfecting techniques. Most Optometrists will recommend a daily disposal lens for children to eliminate the need to clean the lenses overnight. More questions? Don’t hesitate to book an appointment with your Doctor of Optometry today.

ASK AN ESTHETICIAN

Q A

It’s a mistake I see all too frequently. Women with “dry” skin buy heavy, oil-based moisturizers because they think their skin is truly dry. Initially, the heaviness KATIE MARSHALL feels good, relieving that tight, dry feeling. But a few hours later, the old problem returns. Why? It’s the wrong product! Truly dry skin actually flakes. It needs an oil-based moisturizer to replenish that missing ingredient in your skin. On the other hand, dehydrated skin feels tight. A thick, heavy moisturizer will just sit on your skin for a few hours, providing only temporary relief, because it needs moisture, not oil. Worse, these heavy moisturizers clog up your skin, dry it out and create more wrinkles! That’s why oil-based moisturizers are rarely the answer. Because the skin is a complex organ, it takes close examination to understand what it’s asking for.

Is there any type of insurance I could purchase that would provide some financial relief if I were to be diagnosed with cancer or had a stroke?

Yes, it’s called Critical illness insurance. It pays out a tax free, lump sum ADAM JUNG amount, ranging from Licensed Advisor $25,000-2,000,000 upon diagnosis of 25 different illnesses. Just in the past year we had a client diagnosed with breast cancer, her policy payed out $100,000. Though it cannot reduce the emotional stress and physical discomfort she endured during treatment; Critical illness insurance was able to reduce her financial stress.

Allowing her to continue to pay her bills, fly her family in, take time off work, and get free counseling. I think we all know someone in a similar situation who had to set up a go fund me page. I have a $100,000 policy of my own, and I wish more people had one.

ASK A REALTOR

Does hay fever/allergic rhinitis affect CPAP use?

Yes, nasal congestion can make it very difficult to use CPAP therapy. Heated humidification and a climate controlled hose can greatly decrease the symptoms of nasal congestion, dry nose and throat. A hypoallergenic filter can also help minimize breathing in allergens. Remember to change your filter monthly. Keep the windows closed during pollen season, and make sure that dust/pet dander is not accumulating in the bedroom. Many people find that a daily sinus rinse helps relieve congestion. Prescription nasal sprays or allergy medications can also relieve symptoms. Visit a CanSleep location to speak with a therapist about adjusting your humidity. Breathe Better. Sleep Easy. Live Well.

Q A

How will the rise in the interest rate affect the sale of my currently listed home?

If you are currently listed or need to list your home in the next 60 days it’s going to help!

Any time the cost of owning a home looks like it may go up in the near future buyers spring into action. A perfect example was this past spring. With the price of homes escalating, a buying frenzy took place. The recent rise in interest rates is not going to be as profound, but it will still affect the cost of home ownership. People with pre-approvals in place will want to complete their purchase while they have a locked in rate. With home sales slow, and prices falling, anything that motivates a buyer to act, versus wait, is welcomed!

Tie Day gets set for its final fundraising year Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

What do Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, crooner Michael Bublé, actress/comedian Carol Burnett and hockey commentator Don Cherry have in common?

They’re just a few of the athletes, musicians and other celebrities who have contributed autographed ties and items to the 20th – and final – Royal City Jeweller’s Tie Day.The highest bidders in the annual Tie Day auction will receive a tie, and their winning bid will support the GreaterVancouver Food Bank, which provides assistance to more than 26,500 people in New Westminster,Vancouver, Burnaby and the North Shore each week.

“This year, the support would mean more than ever with shelves at the Greater Vancouver Food bank sitting at an all-time low,” said a press release from the food bank. “We have had to pur-

chase over $200,000 worth of food this month to stock the shelves.”

Ken Basso, general manager of Royal City Jewellers and Loans, said the fundraiser was very modest when it started 20 years ago and grew through the years, but it has run its course.

“This will be the final one. It’s unfortunate, but it’s an awful lot of work and the returns have not been high enough,” he said. “We are probably going to be making a large donation every year.”

Tie Day has become a year-round project for the local business, requiring one full-time persona and two part-timers to put it together. In addition to requesting participation from celebrities, the business buys ties, shadow boxes and other materials for the auction items, pays to ship all of the goods to the celebrities, and arranges the ties and items into displays in the shadow boxes.

Bidding is open on the tie

auction until 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 26 at www.rcj. ca/tieday/.

“It’s really good right now in terms of bidding,” Basso told the Record. “Robert Bateman’s is going well.

With Don Cherry’s there seems to be a bidding war on his.”

Community members are invited to attend theTie Day bash at Royal City Jewellers and Loans on Saturday, Nov. 26 at 2 p.m. People are invited to bring cash donations for the food bank, enjoy some refreshments and see if they can win a prize.

“Mark Madryga is here.

He generally does like a Let’s Make a Deal game with prizes. Basically they draw names for the contest and they have a chance to win numerous prizes.There are all kinds of prizes,” Basso said. “People should pack their pockets with things like bobby pins because Mark might just ask somebody if they have one in their pockets. It’s quite a lot of fun.”

So Proud.

Each Christmas, Cartwright Jewellers holds a fundraiser for the CKNW Orphans’ Fund through the sale of stuffed animals or Christmas ornaments. All of the proceeds go to the CKNW Orphans’ Fund.

“To date, not including this year, we have raised $132,000 for the Orphans’ Fund,” said Cartwright-

Coates. “What it makes me feel is that one little store in New Westminster, if everybody does just a little bit, we can make a difference.Ten dollars at a time, year after year, we have been able to have a significant impact on the moneys that are given away to the Orphans’ Fund.”

Cartwright-Coates, a former member of the fund’s board of directors, currently serves on its grants committee.

“Always there are more applications than there is funding. Sometimes some very hard conversations have to be had, trying to make sure the dollars are going where they are most needed and where they can be most utilized,” said Cartwright-Coates. “There’s many families who have physical challenges or mental challenges that they need that extra help.They need that wheelchair ramp built because they can’t financially afford to have that, or just sending a children to camp.”

The Association of Fundraising Professionals has presented CartwrightCoates with its Giving Hearts award, which acknowledges and celebrates individuals and organizations, volunteers, leaders, fundraisers, philanthropists and others who make a difference to their organizations and the social profit community.

The CKNW Orphans’ Fund, established in New Westminster in 1945, nominated Cartwright-Coates for the award because of her years of work on behalf of the charity.The CKNW Orphans Fund’s submission praises Cartwright-Coates’ “outstanding” dedication to the charity and noted it’s hard to encompass all the positive energy she brings to her philanthropic role.

“Helping others is a true passion for Susan.There is no job too large or small, she will roll up her sleeves and take to the task like a true leader,” said the submission. “Whether it is taking donations over the phone during our annual fundraising event or talking to the media about the many children who need our help, Susan is a grand ambassador and has always represented the CKNW Orphans’ Fund with grace and compassion.”

Hyacks’ comeback plants seed for semifinal

NewWest looks to avenge earlier loss to Notre Dame, with spoils a ticket to BCs Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

If a football season can be a voyage, the New Westminster Hyacks are prepared to boldly go where no Hyack has gone before.

That paraphrasing of Capt. James T. Kirk may sound like a leap into space, but the senior AAA football team knows that getting one more win would be historic, as it would catapult them into the B.C. High School championship final.

“That’s the biggest thing and our guys are motivated and prepared for (Saturday’s) game,” said head coach Farhan Lalji of the semifinal, 5:30 p.m. at B.C. Place against the Notre Dame Jugglers.

“We as a program have been (to the semifinals) five or six times without getting to that next step.They really want it.”

Getting to a championship final means exacting some revenge on the Jugglers, who handed the Hyacks a 44-28 setback nearly two months ago in what was the second game of the 2016 regular season.

A lot has changed in that time, as the Mercer machine created some powerful momentum and gone 5-1 since that loss.

Lalji knows how helpful that earlier loss can be in creating layers to the storyline of what is already a emotionally-charged contest.

“The motivation is there, and it always seems to be hard to beat a team two times in a season,” he noted. “But when it’s all said and done, we’ve got to go out and win it.”

Following last Saturday’s 44-35 comefrom-behind win over the Abbotsford Panthers, the Hyacks appear to be well-versed in how to turn the tables.

While Abbotsford was the underdog, it entered the quarterfinal the last of the undefeated teams, having romped through the Pacific Division virtually unscathed.They also stood together under the tragedy which befell the community when an Abby student, Letisha Reimer, was murdered at the school.

Hands down: New Westminster quarterback Kinsale Philip, at right, out-races a trio of Abbotsford tacklers to the sidelines during Saturday’s 44-35 victory, propelling the Hyacks into this weekend’s semifinals at BC Place against Notre Dame. PHOTO CHUNG CHOW

The Panthers built up a 29-14 advantage, powered by standout running back Samwel Uko’s 55-yard dash to start the third quarter. New West responded when Trew Dancey ran six yards for a major and added a two-point convert, making it 29-21.The defence then did their job, stopping Abbotsford on the Hyack 26-yard line.

On the fifth play from taking possession, the Hyacks reclaimed the lead when Dancey bolted free for a 52-yard touchdown with 1:03 left in the quarter.

But the Panthers didn’t look quite done yet, as Uko took the kick off at his team’s 35-yard line and proceeded to bust loose to

open field, only to be caught on New West’s 10-yard line by defensive back Liam Mackay, drawing praise from Lalji after the game for what proved to be a critical save.

“You saw Uko had that long run and (Mackay) chased him down and prevented a touchdown. (Mckay) made a couple of big plays on the wheel where he was able to break up some passes and overall our secondary did some good things in the second half … (Catching Uko) was a turning point, a massive turning point.”

On both sides of the ball, Dancey tallied big numbers, including a game-high seven tackles and three TDs on 148 yards rushing.

Lucas Sabau carried the ball 20 times for 143 yards, including a pair of majors. Quarterback Kinsale Philip completed nine of 14 passes for 161 yards, including a 20-yard strike to tight end Prento Durigon to cap the Hyacks scoring.

Now the focus turns squarely at Notre Dame, led by quarterback Steve Moretto.

“We’ve got to do a better job against Moretto (than the first meeting), he’s a special player and very athletic. He kind of brings everyone up one rung and we have to find the right balance against him and their defence,” Lalji said.

The winner gets a ticket to the final.

First-half spike sets Royals up for PacWest battle Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

There’s no doubt the Douglas College Royals women’s volleyball team entered the 2016-17 seaosn with high expectations.

Last year’s march to the provincial quarterfinals prepared the club for wanting more – even if it meant shouldering that disappointment for some major shifts.

The program appears poised for a breakthrough after getting off to a very strong 8-2 start under new head coach Jeff Ross. But with the exam break and a month sabbatical serving as a bookmark following this weekend’s meeting with first-place Vancouver Island, the hope is the Royals will use their achievements as a starting point for the second half.

Ross, who served as an assistant coach at UBC and coached Team B.C. the past three years, said his first handful of months in the program have gone very smoothly.

“It’s gone pretty well, there have been no surprises,” said Ross. “It was pretty easy in a sense of what we’ve set out to accomplish and how they’ve gotten to know what I expect.”

Last week’s split with the Camosun Chargers was a case in point. On Friday, a three-game win streak came to a halt as the visiting Chargers surprised Douglas 3-1. It served as a wake-up call for the squad, which a day later responded with a 3-0 win.

“It was a total team effort and a good bounce-back on Day 2,” said Ross. “We just didn’t execute as we would have liked (Friday) but

put it back together for the next game.”

Currently ranked No. 5 in the nation, Douglas has a good mix of veterans and newcomers.

Leftside hitter and co-captain Juliana Penner has taken another step in the elite group of PacWest players this year, sitting third overall in kills at 3.15 per set, and fifth in aces, with 0.43 per set, to stand second overall in offensive stats.

But those numbers only tell part of her contribution, said Ross.

“She doesn’t worry too much about the leaderboard,” he said of the fourth-year player from Surrey.

“Juliana is, like all our players, all about seeing how we can play our best each set.”

Co-captain and libero Claudia Corneil, who sits fourth in the PacWest in digs, is another key re-

turnee who has helped the team take another step from last year.

Penticton native Georgia Hurry, meanwhile, owns the second-best stat line for blocks, with a set average of 1.05 per, followed by Surrey’s Autumn Davidson and Brazilian Vania Oliveira.

Third-year hitter/libero Vicki Schley joins Penner and Oliveira in the league’s offensive top-10.

This year’s roster also includes freshmen Rizelle Uy of New West, a backup libero, and Burnaby’s Mackenzie Hutchison, a right-side hitter.

Both have made strong contributions off the bench and added a layer of depth which will serve the Royals well when the season relaunches in January.

“Rizelle sees the court so well, she’s a serving specialist and sub-

stitute libero who is gaining valuable experience coming in from high school,” said Ross. “Both players are intense, great teammates who are getting use to the speed of play at the college level.”

Last year’s fourth-place finish, which also saw the club upset in the provincial quarterfinals

by University of the Fraser Valley, remains a yardstick for this year’s returning players.With only one berth for B.C. to the nationals on the table, the Royals – who have never won a league title – feel it is within their reach.

“The team can always improve in a number of areas, it’s not a case of us just needing to tweak one or two things,” said Ross. “We are like every other team, our focus is to get better and be a more balanced crew going forward.”

Nothing comes easy, as the Douglas College Royals women’s basketball team was reminded this past weekend.

The squad entered the exam break 5-1 after two scrappy wins. On Friday, Douglas played most of the night in arrears before ramping up its rally in the fourth quarter to beat the Langara Falcons 50-44.

A day later, a strong first quarter gave way to a see-saw struggle where they eked out a 70-69 decision over the Quest Kermodes.

On both nights, forward Rachel Beauchamp was front and centre.

The third-year Royal counted 28 points in the win over Quest, chipping in 10 rebounds and four steals.

She also blocked a shot in the late stages to clinch the win. Sarah Jorgenson tallied 10 points and seven boards, while Garaline Tom subbed

in and scored three points, five steals and eight rebounds.

A day earlier, Beauchamp scored 14 points and pulled down 14 rebounds as Douglas erased a ninepoint deficit over the final quarter.

New Westminster’s Jettie McLaughlin tallied eight boards.

On November 15, 2016 we laid to rest my beautiful Mother. It is important that I say how much I love you and how you were such an important touchstone in my life, and for us as a family. You were there, a solid rock, for me and my husband, and daughter, Katarina, who you watched and gave help to when needed. We had so many good times we shared, trips and so many dinners out, so no one had to do dishes. Momo’s favourite phase was, “eat vhat you vant”, You were always generous, and concerned for keeping family ties.

Friends said to say all the things I needed to say or make amend to, before you passed, but we constantly expressed a deep and abiding love, that transcended the need for forgiveness. And nothing seemed better.

Thank you for letting me walk near the end with you, you weren’t looking back anymore. We all felt your presence, and I’m sure you are well taken care of now.

Your loving daughter, Rosalie Nyback

They both grew up on farms in the hard times of the Dirty 30s depression. Then came WWII and all the upheaval that it caused, men off to war and wartime food rationing.

Elvi & my mother came went through these hard times stronger - they were tough cookies! They worked hard, raised families and were eventually able to retire comfortably in their own little piece of paradise.

Whenever I visited my mother in Victoria, I always felt a calm, peaceful sanctuary from all the hubub of everyday life. I always felt the same way when I visited Elvi & Roy at the beautiful home they built for themselves in Sullivan Heights.

So I consider myself very blessed to have had a mother in law like Elvi Steen. She was always very kind to me.
