CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED

Push is on for third ice sheet

Share the joy In our Dec. 7 edition, we began our annual Guide to Giving, outlining all the ways you can help support a variety of good causes at Christmastime and beyond. In this edition, we bring you our final two instalments: stories on how you can support the Fraser River Discovery Centre by donating to its Giving Circle campaign (page 31) and on how you can help Monarch Place with its work providing a safe haven for women escaping violence (page 33).

A contingent of local sports organizations is appealing to the city to put the issue of a third arena for New West on the ballot in the 2018 civic election. Representatives from the New Westminster Minor Hockey Association and the New Westminster Minor Lacrosse Association recently appeared at the city’s parks and recreation committee to make a case for construction of a third ice sheet in New West and to encourage the city to put the issue on the ballot in the 2018 civic election. Daniel Fontaine, a New West resident who spearheaded an online petition supporting a third ice sheet, said the number of students is increasing in New Westminster, but participation in minor hockey is declining – something he attributes, in part, to availability and hours of ice time at Queen’s Park and Moody Park arenas. “My son in bantam, it was down to 39 registrants.That meant we could only pull together two teams.Three or four boys had to go play in Burnaby.When you have only 39 registrants for bantam and last year you had more like 50, something is happening,” he said. “Kids have other priorities.We have to make sure this is as simple as possible.” The delegation stated a third ice sheet would enable local teams to host more tournaments and could provide more ice time – and better times – for local kids.The delegation also noted public skating times are limited due to the minor hockey association’s ice requirements. City of New Westminster officials have made no secret of the fact that the replacement of Canada Games Pool and Centennial Community Centre is the city’s top priority for parks facilities. Fontaine said the group doesn’t want the city to delay that project but to ask citizens if they’re willing to pay a special levy to cover the cost of building a third ice sheet.

‘Momentous day’ for the school district as trustees unveil the first rendering of the new NWSS Cayley Dobie

The community won’t have to wait any longer to see what the new high school might look like when it’s complete. Trustees, along with New Westminster superintendent Pat Duncan, unveiled the first preliminary rendering of the new high school on Wednesday. “Today is a momentous day in the history of the New Westminster school district,” trustee Kelly Slade-Kerr said at the event. “The New Westminster Secondary School replacement project has been on the minds of this community for many, many, many years. Many people didn’t think it would ever happen.” The unveiling coincided with the district’s announcement it had chosen Graham Design-Builders LP and KMBR Architects Planners to build the new school. Both firms have an extensive background in de-

sign and construction. Graham Design-Builders LP was awarded the contract to design and build the new Chilliwack Secondary School, a $51-million project that was completed in 2014. KMBR Architects Planners is currently working on Salish Secondary School, a $55.2-million project in Surrey set to open

Many people didn’t think it would ever happen

in September 2018. “This has been an extremely vigorous process over the last year,” SladeKerr said. “(The new high school is) the largest investment and most exciting, innovative public school project in the history of British Columbia, and it’s here in New West-

minster. It is really incredible that we’ve reached this stage.” Trustee and school board chair Mark Gifford echoed Slade-Kerr’s sentiments and thanked staff, the Ministry of Education and local MLA Judy Darcy for their hard work. “A credit to the work of staff, both in the district and the leadership of superintendent Pat Duncan, who put in countless hours to making sure this could happen this year.Thank you for that,” Gifford said. Now that the district has chosen its design-build team, staff will begin preparations for a second round of community consultations, which should take place in February as promised, according to Duncan. “We’re still going through a process that’s called design development with the builder. At this point, we will begin construction sometime in early 2018. You’ll start seeing ground prep begin, and we will be

substantially completed in May 2020,” he said. The high school replacement is more than a decade in the making and will cost $106.5 million to complete. Construction will take place behind the existing high

school while students and staff continue to use the old building. The new school will house 1,900 students in grades 9 to 12. New Westminster Secondary School was original-

ly two separate schools:Vincent Massey Junior High School, which opened in 1949, and Lester Pearson Senior High School, which opened in 1954.

McBride needs a bigger replacement school Ministry has asked district for updated enrolment numbers

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The Richard McBride Elementary replacement school is getting bigger and it hasn’t even been approved yet. The New Westminster school district has been asked by the Ministry of Education to revise its project definition report (PDR) to reflect the latest enrolment numbers. “Tentatively, we expect that those additional numbers are going to result in the addition of three classrooms,” said secretary-treasurer Kevin Lorenz. “We’ve had growing enrolment, nearly 100 FTE every year for the past four

years.The ministry was interested to see if that would affect our future need at the McBride site.” The original PDR was submitted by the school district in the summer. It presents the ministry with information about what the school district needs in a new school and the rationale for those needs. The report on McBride was based on enrolment numbers that were at least a year old, if not two-and-ahalf years old, according to Lorenz. Lorenz couldn’t say if the PDR included new contract language regarding class sizes, part of a new collective agreement between New Westminster teach-

ers and the district – the result of last year’s Supreme Court of Canada ruling that sided with B.C. teachers on language stripped from the teachers’ contract by the former B.C. Liberal government. “We (were) actually expecting a 10 per cent reduction in available space based on the contract language,” Lorenz told trustees. The revised report will also include new information on additional space needed for support staff, which would be based on new enrolment numbers, Lorenz said. Lorenz said the goal is to get the revised report completed as soon as possible.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Christy Clark’s legacy lives on with Site C

Christy Clark may have disappeared from photo ops and headlines, but her legacy lives on in the continued construction of the $10.7-billion Site C dam project. Clearly, the previous B.C. Liberal government set the province on the course of building Site C and the current government has had no choice but to follow through, gambling that the benefits will outweigh the costs in the long term.

For the current NDP government, as was expected, whether to proceed came down to an issue of affordability. Ultimately, continuing will cost ratepayers less in the short term than cancelling the project, given that mothballing the project would have cost $4 billion in debt, necessitating a 12.1 per cent B.C. Hydro rate hike over a 10-year period. Some of the big winners coming out of the NDP

government’s decision will be farmers, who will benefit from the establishment of a $20-million compensation fund, apprentices who will get jobs and experience, and First Nations groups that will get some say in mitigating the environmental and archeological damage and opportunities for procurement. But the environmentalists, who were the most vocal in opposition, are certainly the biggest losers in

this decision and will have to console themselves with the idea that as the province moves toward electrification to eliminate reliance on fossil fuels, the power from Site C, as costly as it is, will come in handy. It is unclear, however, whether the average British Columbian taxpayer will benefit from the completion of this project. In the short term, they will not have to pay such high power rates. But will reliance on hydro-

electric power slow the development of other sources of energy that have less impact on the planet? And will this dam render useless any meaningful efforts to cut electricity in the future? As well, B.C. Hydro is hardly out of the woods. According to a B.C. government backgrounder, the public utility has $5.597 billion in liabilities that will have to be recovered eventually and is still locked in contracts with independ-

ent power producers whose power is three times more expensive than that produced by B.C. Hydro’s heritage assets – $100 per megawatt hour compared to $32/MWh. So the cancellation of Site C is a good news/bad news story with the true outcome not to be known for years, probably decades. By then, the photo ops of Ms. Clark in hard hat and high-viz vest may be forgotten, but not her mega-project legacy.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Move over, Site C, it’s pipeline time Now that the Site C dam decision is out of the way, look for the NDP government to step up its efforts – as meagre as they appear to be – to block the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. Other than a relatively small number of MLAs, I’ve never really detected a lot of passion amongst the NDP caucus when it came to whether Site C should be built or not. But it’s a different story with the pipeline. The results of the last election have made the NDP a party that is not only heavily urbanized, but it’s also a party that represents many of the ridings that are located along the path where all those oil tankers loaded with bitumen will be plying the waters. Burnaby,Vancouver and South Vancouver Island, where the tankers will pass, are collectively home to more than one-third of the NDP caucus.The dam, on the other hand, is located in the Peace River area, which is about as unfriendly to the NDP as any area of the province. And the dam simply doesn’t ignite the same kind of passionate debate that the pipeline, and especially that huge increase in tanker traffic, stirs up among most people. You can be sure most NDP MLAs hear a lot about Kinder Morgan from their constituents, and those conversations are just going to get more numerous and louder over time as the date of any construction ap-

proaches. The recent controversy that saw the National Energy Board rule that the pipeline company could ignore Burnaby bylaws is a good example of how the NDP sees the two projects. Environment Minister George Heyman was quick off the mark, denouncing the ruling in fairly aggressive language. In fact, I can’t find another instance where an NDP cabinet minister launched such an angry broadside at anything the federal government has done on any file since coming to power. Don’t expect Heyman to shy away from future clashes with the feds as the pipeline project heats up. He’s clearly the government’s attack man on this issue, as Premier John Horgan continues to ignore the issue when he meets with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. But don’t mistake Horgan and Trudeau’s joint decision to ignore the elephant in the room as a sign the two leaders share some kind of common ground on this issue.They don’t. The rhetoric will heat up in the months ahead, and at some point Horgan and Trudeau will have to talk about this. And various political leaders – Trudeau, Horgan, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley and mayors such as Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan and Vancouver’s Gregor Robertson – will have to figure out which of them, ultimately, has control over this pipeline project. Corrigan clearly believes Burnaby has Continued on page 7

Shawn Marsolais, 26, was walking with her cane near Kingsway and 14th Avenue when she was hauled to the ground from behind.When she resisted and struggled to hold on to her purse, she heard a female voice tell an accomplice it was time to “use the knife.” Marsolais struggled long enough for passersby to come to her aid, but not before the crooks made off with her purse.

Horgan in an interesting spot with pipeline debate Continued from page 6 the right to determine what kind of activity takes place within its borders. Horgan believes the province should have the right to determine what happens along its coast. Notley believes her province has the right to ship its natural resources to tidewater through other provinces, since it’s land-

locked. And the prime minister, presumably, may have to be the referee. Trudeau may have to declare the pipeline to be in the national interest, and employ a rarely used lever available to push it through.

If Trudeau gets the sense his party’s electoral breakthrough in B.C. is in jeopardy because of the pipeline, will he stick to his guns and stick with the project? And as the B.C. NDP government shifts its attention to stopping the pipeline, it will be interesting to see how far Horgan will go to assist in the dismantling of the popularity of a PM with whom, so far at least, he has gotten along with rather well.

City Third rink is already in city’s long-range plans Continued from page 1 Noting that Canadian children need lots of physical activity in order to become and remain healthy, the group believes money invested in “active” infrastructure pays huge dividends in terms of reduced health costs. Mayor Jonathan Cote said council hasn’t yet received a report back on the issue from the parks and recreation committee, but he believes the appropriate next step for the city would be to do a needs assessment for a third sheet of ice, consider it in the context of all of the city’s priorities and determine where it fits into the city’s timeline. “The concept of having a third rink has been identified in the city’s longrange parks and recreation plans. Even in the Queen’s Park master plan, it was anticipated that a third rink would be located adjacent to the arena property,” he said. “There already has been some preliminary thinking regarding that, but a lot more work has to be done in terms of the timing, the need.” Cote said the Canada

appropriate for the city to “dig a little bit deeper” to understand the city’s needs for ice facilities and the timing of that project. “Traditionally, the City of New Westminster does not do referendum for any infrastructure or recreation facilities. It’s not our common practice to use that. I think

the major challenge with us going down that road is it doesn’t allow a community to evaluate all the different priorities in the community that really need to be looked at once,” Cote said. “I know referendums are very popular south of the border, but they are a lot more rare up here.Traditionally, New Westminster has kind of developed its long-range capital programs and done so by doing appropriate studies, needs assessments and engaging the community to test the priorities.” Earlier this year, Fontaine initiated an online ballot aimed at seeing if there was community support for the construction of a third arena in New West. He presented the petition, which has been signed by 523 people as of Dec. 13, to the parks and recreation committee.

They know the area very well, and employ excellent strategies for a quick and clean sale. They helped me sell my place for over asking, with only 5 days on the market. I highly recommend Lyle & Sandy’s realtor services.”

“As first time home buyers we needed A LOT of help. Lyle and Sandy have been nothing short of incredible in helping us with everything from advice to organizing needed documents to referrals for other services to being a listening ear to our complaints on ridiculous property prices! We couldn’t have asked for friendlier, more helpful, client-first “Lyle and Sandy helped me to sell one people to assist us in this huge part of our lives.” home and buy the next one in June of this year. They were wonderful to work with, patient and professional - Steve & Aida in every way. They really are lovely people and I would warmly recommend their services to anyone. Thank you to both of you for all your efforts.”

“This is the second time I have had the opportunity of working with Sandy and Lyle in the sale of property. And as with my previous experience, they did not disappoint. Sandy and Lyle are extremely professional, yet friendly and very personable. They are definitely in tune to what’s happening in today’s real estate market and were able to provide me with a very thorough CMA. After some de-cluttering, cleaning, and a bit of staging, my condo was listed, an open house took place over a weekend, and the next day we were dealing with three offers ... all over asking price! If you are looking for a dedicated and honest team, I would highly recommend their amazing service. Any questions or concerns I had were always promptly answered. Their expertise and enthusiasm definitely helped this rather emotional process go that much smoother. And as I am moving out of the lower mainland, I sadly won’t be able to have them help me look for my next home ... too bad as I know they would do an incredible job! Thank you so much once again Sandy and Lyle. You made it easy.”

Community ARENEX COLLAPSE

One year later, groups have adapted to loss

Next step is a 24,000-square-foot multi-sport ‘bubble’ facility to provide new space for some of the activities

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Queen’s Park will be looking a little different in the years ahead thanks to the unexpected collapse of the Arenex. An engineering firm concluded that a number of factors acted “in an unfortunate combination” that resulted in the collapse of the Arenex roof in Dec. 19, 2016.The collapse, which came after several weeks of heavy snow and rain, required the 68-yearold building to be demolished as it wasn’t structurally sound. The second busiest recreational facility in the city, the Arenex was home to city-run programs including gymnastics and trampoline, ball hockey, volleyball, basketball, badminton and a toddler drop-in program. The 1938 building was also home to the Shasta Trampoline Club, the Sapperton Fish and Game Club and the Queensborough Boxing Club. “While the loss of the

Arenex has been very unfortunate for the community and the thousands of individuals and families who have used this facility each year, this situation has given the city the opportunity to think very creatively about Arenex programs and services – not only gymnastics and trampoline but also other gymnasium sports,” said Dean Gibson, director of parks and recreation. “While not offered to the same scale as enjoyed at the Arenex, many of the key programs have been relocated on a temporary basis to other venues across the city over the past several months and will continue in this manner into 2018.” Gibson said the city is particularly appreciative of many of the New West schools and parent advisory councils that have invited parks and recreation to bring the gymnastics and trampoline program into their facilities. He said the city looks forward to using the facilities at the Royal City Curling Club next spring and summer, as

there will be a full schedule of gymnastics and trampoline, including Motoring Munchkins playtime. One year after the roof’s collapse, a number of plans are underway related to the Arenex and its site in Queen’s Park. With the Arenex gone, the City of New Westminster plans to provide a new 24,000-square-foot multisport facility in a “bubble” similar to Poirier Forum in Coquitlam on the tennis courts closest to the stadium in Queen’s Park.The new venue, which is larger than the 10,000-square-foot Arenex, will provide space for gymnastics and trampoline programs, ball hockey, indoor soccer, volleyball, badminton, basketball, pickleball and other activities. Gibson said the city has retained a project management firm (Binne Consulting) to assist staff with moving this project forward. The city has completed a pre-qualification process for design-build firms who have an interest in submitting a proposal to deliver this pro-

Aftermath: The Arenex roof caved in on Dec. 19, 2016, leaving numerous community groups and sports programs without a home. One year on, the city is forging ahead with plans for a new, 24,000-square-foot multi-sport ‘bubble’ in Queen’s Park. PHOTO RECORD FILES

ject and has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for design-build services in November. “This RFP is expected to close in the first week of January, and assuming there is a proposal that meets the city’s requirements, we anticipate site preparation and construction to start shortly after project award,” Gibson

said in an email to the Record. “It is our goal to be operational in the new facility in the fall of 2018. A more detailed schedule will be known once a final contract is awarded.” New Westminster city council has also given inprinciple support to a plan to relocate the Mercer Stadium skate park to the for-

mer Arenex site in Queen’s Park. City staff has met with stakeholder groups and will conduct broader community consultation in January. Gibson said the city’s goal is to start construction of the skate park in 2018, but it’s premature to speculate on a specific construction date at this time.

Cadets: ‘As the saying goes, there’s no place like home’ The 513 Hornet Squadron is thrilled to be back in its Queen’s Park home after being displaced last winter after the Arenex roof collapsed. When the roof of the Arenex collapsed on Dec. 19, 2016, the air cadet squadron was forced to relocate out of its longtime home. The squadron owns a building lo-

cated between the Arenex and the Bernie Legge Theatre. “When the Arenex came down, it actually took out part of our roof and part of the side of the wall. As a result of the collapse, the debris that fell actually blocked off a drain, and then the snow melt and the water from the actual collapse of the Arenex came down

and flooded the basement,” said Marta Sattler, secretary with 513 Hornet Squadron. “We had actual structural damage done, and then as a result of the extra water and snowmelt there was damage to the basement as well.” When its building was off limits, the 513 Hornet Squadron rented space in the Justice Institute of

British Columbia so cadets could complete their training year. “Our squadron started back on Sept. 13.That was the first night the cadets started up. It’s wonderful. It’s like being back home,” Sattler said. “As the saying goes, there’s no place like home.” Now that they’re back at their home in Queen’s Park, about 60

cadets aged 12 to 18 are once again doing parades and taking various classes so they can move up the levels.The squadron is still on the hunt for an indoor space for its Wednesday night parades, which used to take place in the Arenex and are done outdoors at the tennis courts in good weather. – By Theresa McManus

New chair for Mayors’ Council raises questions about 10-year plan Theresa McManus and Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

A new leader is in the driver’s seat on the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation – and it remains to be seen if that means a new direction for the region. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan was elected as the new chair of the Mayors’ Council, replacing Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, who had been at the helm for three years.The Mayors’ Council, which includes representatives from 21 Metro Vancouver municipalities where TransLink operates, is responsible for approving TransLink’s transportation plans and identifying funding for those plans. “It definitely is a little bit of a surprising direction, in the context that we are already well into implementing the mayors’ 10-year vision,” said New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Cote. “To have the new elected chair be the only member elected on the Mayors’ Council who actually voted against that vision and who has been, in the past, critical of the major components of that vision is a little bit surprising.” The Mayors’ Council approved Phase 1 of a 10-year vision in 2016, which includes increases to bus, HandyDART and rail (SkyTrain,West Coast Express) services between

ship. “I think there definitely was an anti- Vancouver, anti-Surrey, big city feeling around the Mayors’ Council. Ultimately that’s probably been bubbling up for a while around that table, and I think that probably is the driving force behind the results we saw.” Beginning Jan. 1, 2018, District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton will become the council’s new vice-chair, taking over a position that’s currently held by Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner. When Hepner decided to step out of the race, she suggested Cote put his name forward for vice-chair as she knows he is a strong champion of the mayors’ 10-year plan. “The next thing I knew I was being nominated for the position and had 30 seconds to write a five-minute speech. It really was last minute,” Cote said. “I just articulated that it was really important that we stay the course, that we have unprecedented federal and provincial commitments toward a major transit expansion in our region and that it’s important to have that perspective be part of the voice of chair and vicechair.” While each of the representatives on the Mayors’ Council have a vote, Cote said the chair has a key role. “The chair has a very

City New chair elected Continued from page 12 critical role in running the Mayors’ Council in terms of setting the agenda and the direction,” he said. “There is no doubt the chair does play a very critical role and does have some responsibilities.

Having said that, ultimately the Mayors’ Council body is responsible to the entire voting body and the direction that’s given from that group. I think there will be plenty of opportunities for the mayor to either want to continue down the road of moving forward with the mayors’ 10-year plan or taking a pause.Those would certainly be open, public discussions that would happen in the new year.” Corrigan told the Record he wasn’t surprised about the result because there’s “been a desire … for a more neutral chair.” “There’s obviously concerns as to whether or not there is a conflict and certainly the appearance of a conflict with the chair having such a strong interest,” he said of Robertson and the Mayors’ Council’s 10year plan, which includes extending the Millennium line, replacing the Pattullo Bridge and creating rapid transit connecting Surrey to Langley. “When the mayors are looking at how they can feel regional interests are

being protected, it’s probably through looking at a couple more neutral parties like Richard Walton from (the District of) North Vancouver and me.” The Mayors’ Council’s chair and vice-chair sit on TransLink’s board of directors. “When you’re in these kinds of jobs, there’s a time to press the refresh button.You’ve been in there for three years and it’s unique in the sense that only the chair and the vice-chair sit on the TransLink board, so what they get is information that is funnelled through those two people, and both Gregor Robertson and Linda Hepner were very much focused on the big projects in their cities, so I think there was a feeling that maybe there would be a little more regional perspective if they got people in that were from more neutral ground.” Corrigan, who is part of an NDP-affiliated slate in Burnaby, thinks his colleagues also wanted someone who will be able to “communicate” with B.C.’s NDP government. Not everyone was thrilled with Corrigan’s win. New Westminster Coun. Patrick Johnstone tweeted: “Holy Christ.TransLink finally has a (provincial government) ready to work with them (and the) mayors put the most transit-regressive mayor in charge.”

Nutcracker returns to Massey Theatre stage It’s not Christmas without The Nutcracker – and for people in New Westminster, that means the Royal City Youth Ballet. The company is presenting its 29th season of The Nutcracker at the Massey Theatre on Saturday, Dec. 23. The annual full-length ballet features a cast of more than 100 young dancers under the artistic direction of Camilla Fishwick-Kellogg, performing to Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s beloved music. In the dancers’ ranks are many from New Westminster. “Performing for their hometown audiences will be the highlight of the season for them,” a press release from the company notes. For those unfamiliar with the story, the ballet opens on Christmas Eve, when a young girl, Clara, receives a present from her godfather during her parents’ annual Christmas party. That present, of course, is a Nutcracker soldier.

“When she falls asleep after the party, Clara is cradling the Nutcracker in her arms and begins to dream. “In her dream her Nutcracker soldier fights a battle and transports her on a sleigh through the Land of Snow to the Land of Sweets, where she meets the Sugar Plum Fairy and people from faraway lands.” Along the way, audiences will enjoy everything they have come to expect from the Nutcracker: magical soldiers, fighting mice, the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Snow King and Queen, the Arabian and Spanish dancers, and much more. Once again, the performance comes to the stage against a backdrop of sumptuous sets designed by JeanClaude Olivier and extravagant costumes by Chris Sinosich. Shows are on at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. For tickets, see www.ticketsnw.ca. For information, see www.royal cityyouthballet.org.

HOLIDAY TRADITION: New Westminster dancers appearing in the Royal City Youth Ballet Nutcracker production include: top row,

left to right: Chanel De Capite, Lia Sokugawa, Emily Simko, Angelica Macdonald, Isabella Domingues, Estelle Meconse, Vienna McKenzie; and bottom row, left to right: Sydney Schiebler, Joya Becacqua, Audrey Neufeld, Mae Pearce, Stella Catania. The show is onstage at Massey Theatre on Saturday, Dec. 23, with performances at 2 and 7 p.m. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

A New Westminster performer is front and centre at the Arts Club’s holiday musical at the Stanley Theatre. The Arts Club Theatre Company is once again offering up a holiday production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, running to Jan. 13. Featured in the cast is New West’s own Peter Jorgensen as Lumiere (whom devotees of the Disney story will know as the amorous candelabra). Shannon Chan-Kent stars as Belle, with Jonathan Winsby as the Beast and Kamyar Pazandeh as Gaston. Susan Anderson is Mrs. Potts and Shawn Macdonald is Cogsworth. Call the Arts Club box office at 604-687-1644 or see www.artsclub.com. GALLERY GETS FESTIVE Have you been to Van Dop Gallery yet? The gallery is hosting its

annual Spirit of the Season exhibition until Dec. 24, and it also has a Small Masterpieces exhibition until Jan. 31, 2018.

TWO ARTISTIC VIEWS An artist is bringing two different views of art to the walls of Plaskett Gallery for December. Two Different Views, by Jacky Hosford, runs at the gallery until Dec. 24. “I hoped to present several views on art, with well-

known media such as oil, acrylic and ink in different formats, such as the fun of an abstract in acrylics and realism in oils. Both, for me, provide different reactions, impressions and moods,” Hosford says in an artist’s statement. Plaskett Gallery is at Massey Theatre, 735 Eighth Ave. It’s open Tuesday to Saturday, 1 to 5 p.m., during performances at the theatre or by appointment. See www.masseytheatre. com. ART WITH A MISSION It’s an art show with a message that resonates – especially at this time of year. Unity of Spirits, a new exhibition presented by Union Gospel Mission New Westminster, is underway at the Anvil Centre Community Art Space until Feb. 2. Unity of Spirits includes works on paper by participants in the Healing Through Art program, a course based at the UGM’s resource centre in New Westminster.The program makes art accessible for

geometric abstractions and landscapes. Check it out. It’s on the third floor at the Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St. GALLERY AT QUEEN’S PARK Art lovers, be sure to stop by the Arts Council of New Westminster tomorrow if you want to catch the ongo-

A closer look ON THE ROAD WITH OPERATION RED NOSE

Dobie’s in the driver’s seat with city mayor ‘The ride is a little awkward at first. Eventually we get talking about housing. How could we not talk housing?’ By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

t’s 9 p.m. on a Friday night, and I am standing in a cavernous loading bay at the ICBC claims centre in Coquitlam. Tonight, New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Cote and I are to drive around the city for Operation Red Nose, picking up folks too inebriated to drive. The plan is to ride around with Rudy, the Operation Red Nose mascot, and visit bars in New West to promote the service, then pick up some clients. By the time I arrived at the claims centre, there were already about 20 volunteers gathered. Chris Wilson, organizer of the local Operation Red Nose, greets everyone as they enter. Some people have been volunteering for years, he says, so they’re pros. Volunteers sign in and pick up their name tags and red vests.There are already clients waiting for rides, so the volunteers who are ready head out. Jonathan and ICBC road safety rep Karon Trenaman arrive a short while later. We say hi and proceed to check in. Chris gives us the rundown of the rules and what to expect, then he introduces us to Rudy (Nicole) and her team. The goal is to get everyone home safely, Chris says. By 9:45 p.m. we’re on our way to our first stop: Sapperton District Taphouse on East Columbia Street. The ride is a little awkward at first. Eventually, we get talking about housing (How could we not talk housing, right?). I tell Jonathan I lived in New Westminster until my rent surpassed $1,000 for a small (tiny) one-bedroom apartment near Moody Park. Now I live in a twobedroom basement suite (with laundry, storage and parking) for $1,350 in Vancouver. He’s shocked. “Usually it’s the other way around,” he says. By 10:11 p.m. a dense fog has settled over the city. We head down Columbia and up Sixth Street to River’s Reach Pub.

Inside, people cheer as Rudy walks in. At the back of the pub, Farhan Lalji, head coach of the winning Hyacks football team, is enjoying a night out with friends. He and Jonathan pose for a photo. At 10:35 p.m. Jonathan wants Rudy to drop by Beer Friday. “What’s Beer Friday?” Karon asks as we pull up to a Brow of the Hill townhouse. Jonathan describes it as a gathering of the “New West Twitterati.” Jonathan and Rudy climb the stairs to Brad and Alice Cavanagh’s house.The who’s who of #NewWest are gathered in the kitchen, and they jump up for photos with Rudy and the mayor. After Beer Friday it’s on to Kelly O’Bryan’s/Carlos O’Bryan’s, then Hops, the Terminal and, finally, the Paddlewheeler. By now it’s almost midnight, and we’re still waiting for our first call.The idea was to only serve clients within New Westminster, but it doesn’t seem to be very busy. On our way back to the claims centre (we’ve almost given up), we get our first call: a pickup in Port Moody with a drop-off in Coquitlam. None of us know the area well, but we go for it.

He claims he only knows New West. Anything past 10th Avenue and he’s lost ...

We make it to the restaurant on St. Johns Street. Jonathan and Karen declare me the driver and Jonathan takes on the role of navigator – a role he’s a little apprehensive about. He claims he only knows New West. Anything past 10th Avenue and he’s lost, he says. Lucky for us, the clients know where they’re going. The clients, Jennifer and Greg, were at a Christmas party. Greg is a longtime Operation Red Nose volunteer, and he typically works

every night of the season. He donates $40. Our next client is a couple looking for a ride from River’s Reach to a condo in the Brow of the Hill. We pull up to the pub and hop out.The couple come out and we walk over to their car. (I will call them Boyfriend and Girlfriend.) Boyfriend drives a Mercedes sports car.Two doors. He asks us to be careful, his car is very precious. I agree and ask for the keys. “You’re the driver?” he asks, incredulously. “Yep, Jonathan is the navigator,” I say, smiling. He shakes off his disbelief and gets into the passenger seat. He doesn’t want to sit in the back, so Jonathan climbs in the back with Girlfriend.There’s a pile of empty plastic water bottles where his feet should go. I climb in. Once I press the push button starter, the seat starts adjusting on its own. I stop it. (Later Jonathan tells me he thought the seat was going to crush him. In his head, he says, he was thinking: “Oh no Cayley, please stop!”) On the way home, Boyfriend tells us normally, he’d just drive. One time, before he met Girlfriend and was

living in uptown, he was on his way home and made an illegal left turn at Sixth and Sixth. Of course there was a cop there, he says. “It’s such a cash grab for the city,” Boyfriend says. “Well actually, the money doesn’t go to the city,” Jonathan says, “it goes to the province.” “Well still,” Boyfriend says, unaware he’s talking to the mayor. He donates $20. When we’re out of earshot, Jonathan bursts out laughing.

Did you see his face when you told him you were the driver?

“Did you see his face when you told him you were the driver?” he says. Karon drives us to our next pickup at Union Jack Public House on Seventh Street. Two young women from Ontario need a ride to Burnaby. They hop in the back seat while Jonathan and I climb in the front. Again, there’s a

Why aren’t there more Bulk Barns in Vancouver? pile of empty water bottles at his feet. We head up Eighth Street and into Burnaby. By now the fog is thick. I can barely see the car behind me. While we’re driving, the women question us.What do we do? Why did we volunteer? Where does the money go? Do you like Bulk Barn? Have you ever been to Bulk Barn? Why aren’t there more Bulk Barns in Vancouver? When we arrive, Karon is not behind us.We must have lost her along the way. The women let us stay in the car while we call Karon. She tells us she lost us near Kensington and is now by Deer Lake. She’s close. I tell her to head over the highway.We’ll be waiting at Holdom and Sumas. We hop out. The women donate $25 USD. It takes Karon 30 minutes to find us. To keep warm, Jonathan and I jump up and down while we wait.We talk about

transit, the Mayors’ Council, housing (again) and crime.The conversation veers over to May Day, but he won’t talk on the record so off the record we go (sorry, folks). Jonathan has a dry sense of humour and is pretty funny. When Karon finally arrives, we’re both overjoyed (and a little frozen). It’s almost 2 a.m.Time to go home.

About Op Red Nose Volunteers with Operation Red Nose are on the roads every Friday and Saturday night until New Year’s Eve (except Dec. 22 and 23). Call 778866-6673 for a safe ride home from your holiday party. Operation Red Nose is still looking for volunteers for Dec. 31.

Community Help Discovery Centre support the Fraser River tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Fraser River Discovery Centre Society needs help to spread the word about the mighty Fraser. Discovery Centre’s yearend Giving Circle campaign is seeking corporate and personal donations in support of the Fraser River. “At this time of year, we know many people are considering how to best ‘give back’ to society,” said executive director Stephen Bruyneel. “If you are – don’t forget about the Fraser River. It benefits all of us in so many ways, and your contributions can ensure that the FRDC continues to educate and inform people about the mighty Fraser in the future.” Fraser River Discovery Centre strives to be the voice of the Fraser by presenting stories about the river and its contributions to the life, history and future of British Columbia.The centre, located on NewWestminster’s waterfront, provides exhibits and hands-on programs about the river, offers a resource centre with

research materials and provides a place where people can meet and exchange ideas about the Fraser River. “As a non-profit without any core funding, we rely on a mix of grants, sponsorships and donations in order to do our work,” Bruyneel said. “RiverSchool student education programs, outreach events like RiverFest, and engagement opportunities such as our Fraser River Dialogue series all need funding in order to happen.” With the competition for donation dollars increasing, the FRDC has revised and updated its Giving Circle program to include more giving categories, as well as different kinds of recognition benefits that range from official tax receipts, to admission memberships, and tickets to the many events and engagement activities the centre puts on every year. “We recognize that the Fraser River is important to people for many different reasons and we have updated Giving Circle program to reflect that fact,” Bruyneel added. “Do you want to support the RiverSchool

Monarch Place offers a safe haven for women Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Monarch Place has been providing a safe haven for women and children fleeing domestic violence for nearly two decades. After establishing as a non-profit charitable society in 1997,WINGS (Women in Need Gaining Strength) opened Monarch Place in New Westminster in December 1998. Since then, several thousand women and children have found shelter and support at Monarch Place. “We appreciate everything that the community does to support what we do for the women and the children,” said administrative coordinator Susan Stephen. “Without their support we wouldn’t be in the place we are in, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do.” WINGS provides 12 emergency first-stage shelter beds for women and children fleeing violence at Monarch Place and 11 second-stage housing beds at Chrysalis Place, both in New West. It opened a new transition home in Delta earlier this year and will build a five-unit affordable rental housing building in New Westminster. WINGS recently held its annual Christmas par-

ty, which was attended by about 200 women and children who’ve been assisted by its programs. “We provide food.We give them gifts.We have crafts and games and things for the kids.They get some social time, so people who have connected in the houses have a chance to reconnect again,” Stephen said. “It’s a bit of a laid back time where they can take their minds off of everything that’s going on and enjoy themselves.” While the Christmas party has passed, Monarch Place still welcomes gifts that can be dispersed to folks involved in its programs. “We actually accept things year round. Along with Christmas, we do birthdays so there is a continuous rotation of things that go through here,” Stephen said. “For Christmas, every woman that comes in between now and Christmas and leaves between now and Christmas will get a gift. Even though we have had the party, and made up gift bags for the party, there is still that need as it goes along.” For many people, including women and children fleeing domestic violence, Christmas can be a tough time of year, and they appreciate knowing that they

haven’t been forgotten. “The gifts are in some cases the only toys that their kids have,” Stephen said. “It’s a huge impact to them. In some cases, this is their moment of escape and they grab what they can throw into a bag and they are gone. Being able to have things that make their lives easier and more comfortable is a major impact on how they can deal with

things.” Monarch Place’s Christmas wish list includes items such as towels and face cloths, dish towels and dish cloths, birthday cards and gift bags, boxes of chocolates or Christmas candy, pantry goods, coffee, office supplies, deodorant, makeup, nail polish, tampons, umbrellas and large Rubbermaid and Tupperware containers.

Because they’re often more challenging to buy for, gifts for teens and pre-teens are the biggest need at this time. Items such as bath products (for male and female), headphones, games, adult colouring books with pencil crayons, journals, makeup, manicure set and gift cards (iTunes, movie tickets, fast good, coffee shops) are suggested gifts for teens.

In addition to its housing programs, the non-profit provides outreach support services and other community programs. To help, call 604-5211888 or see www.monarch place.org.

OUR PAST

THE NEW GERSHWIN MUSICAL

What was New West like in December, 150 years ago? Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Throughout this year, we have looked back to 1867 in New Westminster in recognition of the 150th anniversary of the Confederation of Canada. Now, as this anniversary year is drawing to a close, we will look a little further at this city in the late days of 1867. Early in December of 1867 there was a major article in the local press.The article, entitled “The Dominion Parliament,” marked the first session of the Dominion of Canada, which was opened by Lord Monck. He congratulated the Commons on the consummation of Confederation and a major quote sets up the country of today: “It laid the foundation of a new nationality that, he trusted and believed, would ere long extend its bounds from the Atlantic to Pacific oceans.” On a lighter note, a new publication was introduced

for purchase.The publication was a “Weekly Paper of Fashions called Harper’s Bazaar. It is the best thing in the fashion line yet issued. Each number contains six pages of plates besides a sheet of patterns and 10 pages of reading matter.” A year’s subscription in New Westminster was $7.50. It was noted the consecration of the newly rebuilt church, Holy Trinity, in New Westminster, took place on Dec. 18. It was noted as being the “first stone church and the finest edifice of the kind erected on the British Pacific.” One description of the weather certainly left a mixed impression. “The weather, which had been clear and frosty, thickened towards evening and yesterday morning found all nature decked in white, snow having fallen to a depth of about two inches. Little or no snow fell yesterday and the thickening clouds towards evening appeared to

give promise of rain.” The Governor and Lady Seymour had arrived in the Royal City on board the steamer, Enterprise, the vice-regal party landing at Government House at the Camp, former site of the Royal Engineers detachment.The vessel then headed back downriver to the city’s main docks where the remaining passengers and cargo were landed.The Enterprise then returned to Victoria. A few days later, a large holiday party was held for the community at Government House in celebration of the Christmas season and NewYear’s.The paper noted that “The invitations were, we understand, very general, and the attendance was large.” And so we have a final look at day-to-day life in 1867 as the Royal City wrapped up an important year.

Seniors home marks a milestone anniversary Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

More than 1,000 seniors have called Dunwood Place home since it opened its doors 40 years ago. The Colborne Street building is currently home to 210 tenants. Another 940 have lived in the building since it opened 40 years ago. “Dunwood opened in 1977, at a time when pensions were small and people were retiring on next to nothing, so subsidized accommodations were a blessing,” said administrator Linda Bilinski, who has worked at Dunwood for 21 years. “Forty years later, Dunwood is still providing the same blessings in many ways.” In the 1960s, some folks started talking about the idea of building low-cost housing for seniors. “They started a society and kept going forward,” Bilinski said about the Pres-

byterian Senior Citizens Housing Society. “They made it happen.” Annie Hill, a member of First Presbyterian Church, donated $100,000 from the sale of her property in uptown New Westminster to the project. Other funding came from the federal and provincial governments and donations from members of the Presbyterian Church. “It belongs to the Presbyterian Senior Citizens Housing Society,” Bilinski said. “Annie Hill donated the funds to start this building. She gave it to the society for the seed money for this.With some help from the city, they were able to snag this little piece of property.” Dunwood Place provides 193 low-cost housing suites where seniors aged 65 and up and some persons with disabilities can live independently in bachelor and one-bedroom units, enjoying activities like karaoke, barbecues, craft sales,

thrift sales, movie nights, crib, bingo, cards and more. Some residents enjoy tending to the building’s gardens or volunteering around the building, while others take part in church services and Bible study programs. Bilinski’s mother is among the many seniors who have called Dunwood Place home through the years. “She didn’t really want to come in – she thought it was a place for old people,” she said. “She moved in here and she loved it.That’s a testimony, I think.There are tons of things going on here.” Dunwood Place is home to a café where residents and people from the neighbourhood, including residents of Kiwanis Care Centre, Rotary Tower and Ross Tower, come to enjoy an affordable meal. “Somebody is on duty 24 hours a day here in case of an emergency.We are first responders in the office and

the other staff, the caretakers, if there is a problem, they will go to them and decide if they need an ambulance. It works pretty effectively,” Bilinski said of the building that has two

caretaker suites. “It’s a nice community.” When Dunwood Place opened 40 years ago, the $5.5-million project was one of the largest senior citizens developments in B.C.

Along with the society’s financial contributions, the province paid one-third of the construction costs and the federal government provided 10 per cent.

Cartwright fundraiser brings in $10,000 for Orphans’ Fund Theresa McManus MOVERS & SHAKERS

Well, that was fast. For the past 19 years Cartwright Jewellers has been raising funds for the CKNW Orphans’ Fund by selling items such as stuffed animals and Christmas ornaments.This year’s offering was snow globes, which sold out in record time. As a result of this year’s sales, Cartwright Jewellers will be presenting the CKNW Orphans’ Fund with a cheque for $10,000. Including this year’s contribution, the local business will have raised more than $150,000 for the Orphans’ Fund. In 2016, Susan Cartwright-Coates received the Giving Hearts award

After being located in Cadeaux Boutique and Day Spa for nearly seven years, Urban Bliss owner Clara Kovats had to find a new space when the shop closed in April. Urban Bliss recently reopened in its new 580-square-foot space just three doors down at 459B East Columbia St. in Sapperton.

“It’s exciting. I am completely confident it will be a big hit in the neighbourhood,” she said. “It looks beautiful in here.” The new space has been renovated to feature a bit of a farmhouse feel with a touch of glam. Urban Bliss provides personal care services such as spa services like facials, waxing, hand and foot treatments, tinting and tweezing. Kovats is looking at adding massage therapy and makeup artistry to its offerings. The reopening couldn’t come soon enough for some of Urban Bliss’s regular clients.

“People are complaining that they are getting too hairy,” Kovats laughed. Kovats, a certified master pedicurist, certified reflexologist, skincare specialist and cosmetic tattoo artist, provided facials to celebrities attending the 2012 Oscars

as her salon carried products by the official skincare provider to attendees of that year’s Academy Awards. Do you have an item for Movers & Shakers? Send news from the NewWest business scene to tmcmanus@ newwestrecord.ca. Workshops for volunteers and service providers who work with seniors

Community Cemetery fundraiser passes goal Cayley Dobie

Respect: Rob Rathbun and his group, the New Westminsterbased Society of the Officers of the Honourable Guard, are raising funds to buy a headstone for deceased First World War veteran William Stevenson.

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Thousands of dollars have been donated to a group raising money to buy a gravestone for a First World War veteran buried at Fraser Cemetery. The New Westminsterbased Society of the Officers of the Honourable Guard set out to raise $1,200 earlier this month and instead raised more than $4,400. The money will be used to buy gravestones for veterans buried without one at Fraser Cemetery, including William Stevenson. Stevenson fought in the First World War. He died at his home on East Columbia Street on April 14, 1939. Because he had no family in the area and wasn’t married, there was no one to pay for a headstone. The Society of the Officers of the Honourable Guard plans to change that. “It’s been absolutely overwhelming,” said society member Rob Rathbun. In addition to the donations, an anonymous donor reached out to the society

PHOTO RECORD FILES

and offered to sponsor eight more graves, Rathbun said. As well, the Last Post Fund, a non-profit organization that administers the Veterans Affairs Canada funeral and burial program, has also reached out to Rathbun to provide funding support for the society’s initiative. “They want to work with us, so we’re going to stick our neck out and say we’re going to do all the graves in New Westminster,” he said. First up will be Steven-

son, Rathbun added. Before they can have the stone made, the society needs Stevenson’s service records, which they’re searching for with the help of a researcher in Ontario. Rathbun expects they’ll be able to get the necessary information early next year in time for an unveiling ceremony in the spring. From there, they’ll move on to the other veterans buried without a gravestone at Fraser Cemetery. “What’s kind of impor-

tant, too, is we want to give each person their own due recognition. All of them are going to be done, but we just don’t want to do an unveiling and say, ‘Here’s 10 veterans.’We want to give each veteran their own recognition,” Rathbun said. Folks can still donate to the society at www.gofund me.com/foom3o. Anyone interested in helping with research can contact Rathbun at honourableguard@ gmail.com.

Hyacks McDade eager for hometown challenge step up NewWest’s new head coach looks forward to helping the club defend itsWLA title at STM By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Eliciting some subterfuge, New Westminster senior girls basketball coach Doug Woodward is weighing the benefits of laying low. Unranked, the Hyacks are not listed among the favourites to make next March’s B.C. AAA championships in Langley. But if there’s a will, Woodward has a way. His team has had a few good tournament challenges, but for the most part are working hard on their game at practice, and making it pay off in exhibition. “We’ve done this before; nobody knows about us and that’s a good thing right now,” said Woodward. The Hyacks stuck to it last weekend, capping their run at the St.Thomas More Knights’ senior girls Chancellor tournament with a 69-52 victory over the hosts in the final. And it came after a sluggish first half, where New West trailed STM 35-32, and losing their top player early in the fourth quarter. “(STM) really hustled the first half, and they were out-beating us,” remarked Woodward. “It wasn’t a great game for us – we lost (Sarah Forgie) early in the last quarter when she fouled out, and had to watch her time in the third (quarter).” New West out-scored the Knights 15-5 in that third frame, and pulled away in the final 10 minutes. Devin Strome led all shooters with 20 points, picking up the MVP award, while Forgie counted 16 – 12 of them in the first quarter. Natalie Nastase tallied 11 points, while Ianon Imachi and Mia Obrovac both counted 10 points. It came after New West stopped Duchess Park 6850 in the semifinal, where the Hyacks broke open 1212 game with a 12-point run. Setting the tone was Strome with 24 points and Forgie adding 19. They opened the tourney by beating Credo Christian 81-63. Both Forgie and Obrovac were named to the first all-star team. New West hosts its own tournament next week with games against Burnaby South (Dec. 19), Cambie (Dec. 20) and STM (Dec. 21).

Growing up, New Westminster’s Rory McDade got to know Queen’s Park Arena like his own playpen. Summertime, he logged a lot of lacrosse hours bouncing the ball down the wooden floor. In the winter, he’d carve a slick line to the net, ripping a shot for the top corner. The venerable old 1930s barn was a second home. Now, it’s going to be his office. “I’m excited and looking forward to getting on with the job of continuing what (former coach Steve Goodwin) started, and that’s working towards a Mann Cup,” McDade said. “I don’t think there’s any better job (than coaching New West).” It’s not his first rodeo when it comes to coaching. A former offensive whiz on the lacrosse floor and hockey ice, McDade has built up his coaching credentials in both sports over the past 10 years. In the Western Lacrosse Association, he spent four seasons behind the Burnaby Lakers bench, compiling a 40-31-1 record and guiding the team to the playoffs three times. After being relieved of those duties prior to the start of the 2017 season, McDade took time to catch his breath, re-evaluate his goals and re-energize. He came to the conclusion that he still wanted to coach, and coach his hometown team. “I followed the league and definitely followed (New West) as well. I’ve got a lot of insight and I’m looking forward to working with (general manager Dan Richardson) and the players,” the 36-year-old McDade said. “Just taking a year off gives you a chance to get better. It gave me a chance to see a whole lot of games, (National Lacrosse League) and WLA, to see what other teams are doing.What I can bring to the table is a strong work ethic and being well-prepared.” Along with the Burnaby job, McDade also served as an assistant in the NLL with Minnesota, as well as at both the minor and junior levels. He’s also a hockey instructor for both RPM and Pacific Rim Hockey Academy. Having played both sports at a highly competitive levels, in the NLL and four years with Kelowna of the Western Hockey League, McDade understands the sacrifices and determination required to win those battles. He is also young enough to relate with players juggling family responsibilities, careers, winter pro lacrosse and the summer game. “I’ve had good lacrosse coaches, and take a lot from my hockey coaches,” he said of his coaching influences. “In lacrosse, I had a lot of coaches make an impact on me: Joe Hiltz, ex-senior Salmonbellie, had a big impact on me; both Rob Allison and Bryan Ansley, and, in Burnaby, we had some good guys

Good days ahead: The New Westminster Salmonbellies had much to celebrate en route to last season’s Mann Cup championship series, which saw them fall to Peterborough in six games.

as well. (Former New West assistant and one-time Burnaby head coach) Russ Heard, I played under him for a few years, and it was guys like him who left an impact.”

In lacrosse, I had a lot of coaches make an impact on me. Along with Goodwin’s decision to retire, assistants Kevin Stewardson, Bill Ranford and Heard also chose to step down, clearing the deck for a whole new staff. For Richardson, a big attraction was McDade’s approach to the game, and how he saw the program moving forward. “I was surprised when Burnaby let him go,” Richardson told the Record last month. “He’s always been well-prepared and had his teams compete hard. “I like his compete level. He’s a compassionate coach and is active behind the bench.”

The assistants McDade chose – with Richardson’s blessing – also bring a high degree of familiarity and competitiveness. Ian Paterson played with and coached with McDade in Burnaby. Darren McEwen served as New West’s captain for a number of years and was a veteran shut-down defender. Curtis Palidwor grew up wearing Salmonbellie colours, backstopping the miracle 1994 juniors to a Minto Cup title, and starred in both the NLL and WLA. It’s a group McDade is glad to work beside, and he feels the mix can piece together another serious run. “They’re veterans for sure. They’re older than me and I played with all of them in Burnaby at some point.They are all guys who bring a lot to the table, and I’m fortunate to have them.” Although much remains unknown as to who will be in the 2018 ’Bellies’ lineup – who’s retiring, who is arriving – the focus at this point is contacting the players to make a connection and preparing for the

February Junior Draft. McDade feels there is no reason New West won’t be able to be in the hunt to defend its league crown. “(The team’s) strength for a while has been being in great shape and being able to run the floor. I think last year they made a couple of moves that upgraded their (defence) and their grit factor,” he said. When all is said and done, McDade is happy to be back in the game. His experience in Burnaby only whetted his appetite for the game and the challenges of staying competitive.Taking on the coaching duties in New West brings things full circle. “I just like to compete.Whatever it is, this opportunity came to me and it’s a good opportunity for me,” he said. “I chatted with guys to see who’d be able to help and when I heard who could come with me it was a no-brainer for me. “Being so close to home and the Salmonbellies being the organization that they are and what they have on the table right now, I’m really excited about it.”

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
