Want frites with that? A

Massey to get $10.7M

SkyTrain stop led Dan Close to an appealing location for a restaurant concept he’d fried up during his years in the restaurant business. Close and his partner, Tim Ferguson, were searching for a spot for Spud Shack Fry Co., a Belgian frites shop, when Close came upon the Shops at New West – the vast retail space at the New Westminster SkyTrain station. “I hadn’t taken the SkyTrain for awhile, and I stopped here, and I was like, ‘Uh, what’s this?’” NIKI HOPE says Close, a triathlete who was on his way to a fivekilometre race. “On the way back, I had a chance to see the development. I was able to walk around and get a sense and a feel. I saw all of the towers that had just come up over the last five or six or seven years, some of the plans for the downtown core. Then I started looking at the numbers, the ridership: a quarter of a million people a week.” Close and his partner decided it was the perfect space to “fry” out their new venture. The concept is based on the national snack food of Belgium: frites. And don’t be fooled into thinking it’s just a fancy way of saying fries. Frites are distinguished by the fact that they are cooked twice, are thicker than American fries, fresh cut and are served in a paper cone with a choice of flavour-packed dips, like lemon and chive, chipolte, roasted garlic, and on and on. The Spud Shack Fry Co. space also includes touches of the western European country. The room’s colours: black accents, red chairs, yellow tiles all incorporate the colours of the Belgian flag. “We are old-world Europe meets the west coast,” Close says about the atmosphere. Close brings a dash of Canadiana to the shack by offering poutine, which has become the most-popular staple at the restaurant. Interestingly, vegans – those who eat no animals products or by-products – have fallen in love with a meat/dairy-free poutine offering Close cooked up by chance one day. Local vegan Melissa Balfour was in the Spud Shack one day and told Close she

He them popped downstairs to Safeway and grabbed some vegan “cheese,” came back upstairs, threw some frites in the fryer and served Balfour up a vegan version of the rich gravy dish. Balfour was delighted, and the vegan poutine has become a cult favourite for vegans in the know (it’s not officially on the menu). Along with frites, Spud Shack’s menu includes sandwiches, burgers and, of course, – another touch of Belgium – artisan draught beer. Close began his cooking career about 15 years ago with a Red Seal apprenticeship at

the Fairmont Waterfront, where he spent six years. Later, he worked at the test kitchen for Cactus Club. The father of two lives with his wife in Cloverdale but spends a great deal of time in New West, where he’s carved out a band of loyal and hungry followers – especially through the social media site Twitter, where locals rave about his salty frites. “New West loves us, (and) we love being in New West,” Close says. “Right now, it’s all referrals. It’s Twitter. It’s Facebook. It’s social media. It’s my food. It’s all about the food. It has to be.” Spud Shack is located at 352-800 Carnarvon St. To check out the menu, visit spudshack.ca. nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The much-awaited replacement for New Westminster Secondary School is a step closer to becoming a reality. New Westminster city council has approved a resolution to spend $10.7 million on the reconstruction of a new Massey Theatre that will be built as part of the high school. In addition to the city’s contribution, a staff report stated the school district would contribute $10 million in provincial funding for a new theatre with up to 1,000 seats. The city’s contribution would be used to upgrade the facility from a school theatre standard to a regional civic theatre standard, said the report. “It is a momentous day,” school board chair Michael Ewen told council Monday night. “It is a very exciting day.” Ewen said it’s a “momentous” occasion because it marks the final cornerstone for the district to move forward and build a new high school. “This has been a long process,” he said “As I am constantly reminded, public consultation takes time” A staff report states the school district anticipates that

CITY POLITICOS STEP IN HOPING TO SAVE THE SAPPER TON STORE

Save Thrifty’s drive gains momentum BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster isn’t buying what the Competition Bureau is selling. The Competition Bureau recently ordered Sobeys Inc. to sell 23 stores in Western Canada, including the Thrifty Foods in Sapperton, before it would approve the company’s purchase of Safeway Canada. The announcement that the local Thrifty Foods must be sold has been met with considerable concern among New Westminster residents. Coun. Jonathan Cote said he’d like council to ask staff to review the Thrifty Foods closure in Sapperton and report back to council on how it could participate in the process. Although it’s not something normally within city council’s jurisdiction, he said the community has rallied together since hearing that Thrifty Foods must close its Sapperton store. “It came as a great surprise,” said Coun. Betty McIntosh. “It was in the Twitter world that this federal Competition Bureau decided Sobeys has to get rid of 23 stores.” McIntosh pointed out that the City of New Westminster is trying to plan a walkable community, which includes nodes where it makes sense to have services. She’s been told that if the Sapperton store gets sold, the space would continue to be used as a grocery store. “That’s not the point,” she said. “They have embraced the community, and the community has embraced them.” McIntosh said the manager and staff at Thrifty Foods have supported many community efforts, such as the grocery shopping for seniors programs and neighbourhood cleaning efforts. “It’s very difficult for the employees,” she said. “They have

Sapperton Green and Brewery District developments will see Sapperton’s population grow in the coming years, so there will be a need for a grocery store in Sapperton. Wright suggested that the city write a letter to the Competition Bureau to express concerns about the requirement for Sobeys to sell the Sapperton store, and to make arrangement for Williams to meet with the Competition Bureau while she’s in Ottawa later this month doing Federation of Canadian Municipalities business. New Westminster residents have voiced concerns about the closure of Thrifty Foods at the Brewery District and started an online petition. Within days, the petition had been signed by more than 1,000 people.

City teen facing charges after fight in Moody Park A New Westminster youth could be spending some time behind bars. Police arrested the 17-year-old boy earlier this week in relation to a fight that took place at Moody Park on Monday. New Westminster police were called to the park around 2 p.m. on Oct. 28 after receiving a report that a fight had broken out near the outdoor pool. When the officers arrived, they found a 16-

year-old suffering from “a number of significant but non-life-threatening injuries,” according to a New Westminster police media release. The victim was taken to hospital and has since recovered. Shortly after the incident, police arrested and charged the 17-year-old for his alleged role in the dispute. The boy made his first court appearance on Oct. 31, and the judge upheld the charge – one

count of assault causing bodily harm, according to the release. The youth was released on bail and will be back in court on Nov. 6, but because he is under 18 years old, he will not be identified. Police believe there are other individuals who were involved in the fight and are asking anyone with information to contact Const. Justine Thom at 604-525-5411. By Cayley Dobie, staff reporter

sequences of their actions, but surely even Port Metro, which is ostensibly in charge of approving such matters, has to see that this plan is doomed. Citizens have held rallies, and the opposition is growing. At the last rally, a cloud of dust was forming over the docks transfer facility, possibly grain dust, offering protesters a sneak preview of what could become of the air quality if coal was the cargo and not grain. Given the rising opposition, and rather lame attempts at securing a serious environmental assessment, one would

almost think that Fraser Surrey Docks is expecting its first run at this project to be a feint or trial balloon. Are they expecting it to fail? And, if so, what is the back-up plan? Or, much worse to contemplate – do the proponents of this plan have such confidence in the lack of democratic accountability and transparency in the process that they are expecting – albeit after some twists and turns – to have their plan approved? Surely that would be too cynical a conclusion, wouldn’t it?

Big trouble ahead for health care IN THE HOUSE

KEITH BALDREY

overnments like to release bad news on Fridays, and a prime example of that was last week’s announcement that the Fraser Health Authority was in trouble. Of course, the official news release didn’t actually frame it in those words. Instead, it said that Health Minister Terry Lake was “directing a strategic and operational review” of Fraser Health, and it was a review designed to “assist” the health authority. But the key line that was buried in the news release was this: “It is anticipated Fraser Health will require additional funding from the Ministry of Health to meet its service requirements.” I hate to be one of the “I told you so” types, but there are many of us who predicted back in February that the funding increase for the health-care system was well short of what was required just to maintain the status quo when it comes to service delivery. The funding lift was about $620 million, which brought the overall Health Ministry budget to $16.5 billion. But as large as the funding increase was, it was significantly lower than previous

years’ increases. A number of observers concluded the health-care system was underfunded by at least $250 million and said there were going to be inevitable cuts in service delivery. And that is exactly what seems to happening, at least in the Fraser Health region, which is the fastest growing of all the health authorities. It serves more than 1.6 million people in an area that extends from Burnaby to Boston Bar. To be clear, spending gobs more money on health care isn’t necessarily a good thing. B.C. has the country’s best health “outcomes” in a variety of measuring sticks, but trails a number of provinces in per capita health care spending. And it is clear that pouring hundreds of millions of dollars in increased funding for health care every year is a fool’s errand. Eventually, government services in other areas will be cut or taxes will have to rise, or both. But the sudden belt tightening (if a $620 million increase can be called “belt tightening”) over the course of a single year obviously has a significant impact on a complex system that is used to spending more money. Fraser Health was given an additional $135 million more in funding this year, but clearly that was not enough. The health authority spends about $7 million each and every day, which shows just how expensive

Hyack willing to stage parade

Dear Editor: 30.

Re: City jumps into Hyack mess, The Record, Oct.

I am the longest “active” member of Hyack (over 40 years) and have volunteered with the Hyack Christmas Parade of Lights since the beginning approximately 25 years ago (in recent years playing the role of “Mrs. Claus” riding the float). Hyack has many members who are qualified and willing to organize this year’s parade (with the machinery and, I believe, a sponsor in place). In 1971 the mayor and council encouraged a group of citizens to start a society (which is now the Hyack Festival Association) to take the May Day parade “out of city hall.” Why would our current mayor and council (with ◗Health care Page 7 the exception of Betty McIntosh) want to take a

parade back? How will this be done? Will someone be hired to do this instead of Hyack volunteers? Is there time for the city to succeed? I am saddened that a couple of members with less than two years as members caused a “mess” that the city feels they have to jump into!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Hyack has kept its word ◗ continued from page 6

◗ Councillor Puchmayr’s “the sky is falling” reference to the Nov. 1 deadline for grant applications is disingenuous at worst and puzzling at best given that president Gavin Palmer was present at the city council meeting where he was prepared to make a presentation on that matter. By the mayor’s motion, and approved by all but Betty McIntosh, council removed Hyack from the agenda without even consulting its executive. They then added Bart Slotman to the agenda, contesting the way Hyack was running festivals, who had seen his particular Uptown Festival subsidized by Hyack. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you! ◗ Mayor Wright, who refused to hear the Hyack presentation then turns around and castigates Hyack for some alleged mistreatment of a “parliamentarian” originally hired to chair the special general meeting. In a prudent fiscal move, Hyack replaced the $4,000 to be paid to the parliamentarian, pushed by the resigned board members, with local prominent lawyer Terry Hewitt who agreed to chair the meeting for free.

◗ Five board members resigned from Hyack at noon the day the special general meeting was to take place, indicating that they didn’t see that their “palace coup” would be sustained by the 75 per cent of the membership required. ◗ The board met, accepted their resignations, appointed four replacement board members, of impeccable reputation and long-standing civic involvement and cancelled the special general meeting, informing all members, including the writer. ◗ The 25 folks who showed up went ahead with the agenda, cancelled by the board’s vote, without the knowledge of the board or the members who respected the board decision to cancel the meeting. ◗ In all of this, the Hyack executive has gone ahead with its commitments and even kept their word by showing up at Issaquah with the generous help of the membership contributions and Key West Ford who stepped up to the plate with a vote of confidence and substantial funds in order to keep the city’s reputation from suffering. Surely, the city council can now hear the presentation from Hyack, which it postponed by its own motion, or is there another hidden agenda afoot here?

solving this funding problem may be. This all undoubtedly makes Finance Minister Mike de Jong very nervous. Balancing the budget is the key, dominant part of the B.C. Liberal government’s agenda, and right now it is balanced on a proverbial razor’s edge. The last fiscal update project a miniscule surplus of less than $200 million on a budget of $44 billion. There is precious little room for error, and even a tiny bump in health-care funding could quickly turn that small surplus into a very real deficit. ◆ A lot of ink was spilled last week over two blatant

patronage appointments by Premier Christy Clark, but should anyone be surprised by them? Appointing ex-B.C. Liberal MLA Ben Stewart as the new trade commissioner to Asia was an obvious reward for him giving up his Westside Kelowna seat so the premier could win a byelection there. And giving former party leader Gordon Wilson a government contract connected to the liquefied natural gas file seemed derived from the fact he endorsed her party during the recent election campaign. Certainly, the qualifications of both appointees can be questioned, and there is at least some irony with Wilson’s appointment

(he clashed with Clark in the past, and recently expressed doubt about the prospects of LNG actually taking off in this province). But spare me the howls of outrage from critics who seem to think this is some kind of major war crime. Patronage appointments are an inevitable byproduct of pretty well any political system, and all political parties engage in that activity. The B.C. Liberals have made a lot of political patronage appointments in the last decade, as did the NDP government of the 1990s did before them. There will be more to come, and life will go on. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Hurdle cleared: The city’s promise for a new performing arts centre at the high school is one of the ﬁnal hurdles standing in the way of a new school. Jason Lang/ THE RECORD

site preparation and possibly partial demolition of the secondary school will begin in 2015. Because construction of the secondary school and the theatre is expected to take three years, it’s expected it will open sometime in 2018. According to the staff report, the next step in the process is the preparation of a new memorandum of understanding between the school district and the city, which would outline the enhancements needed to create a civic regional theatre and the city’s role and involvement in the design and construction process. The school district intends to finalize and submit the “project definition report” to the Ministry of Education by December 2013,

and to begin a public procurement process to select the design-build contractor in the spring of 2014. Ewen told council he understands people’s frustration about the time it’s taking to build the high school, but the district wants to make sure it gets it right for the community and the school district. “I am feeling very confident saying your children will be in a new secondary school,” he said to Coun. Jonathan Cote, a father of three young children. “I am going to hold you to that,” Cote replied. Cote, whose daughters are aged one to six years of age, hopes Ewen was referring to his oldest daughter. www.twitter.com/TheresaMcManus

Conflict of interest rules under scrutiny BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The B.C. School Trustees’ Association has formed a group to examine conflict of interest rules for its members who serve on boards of education. The conflict issue has surfaced in the New Westminster school district where three of seven school trustees are teachers (trustees Michael Ewen, Jonina Campbell and David Phelan)

Trustees divided on consultant BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Trustees are divided on whether the New Westminster school district should spend money to bring in a consultant to help implement a plan to define the district’s direction and goals. Board of education chair Michael Ewen said spending upwards of $2,500 on a consultant to help implement the district strategic directions plan isn’t a prudent idea given the district’s dire finances. “We’ve given our schools 10 per cent of last year’s supply budget in the hope that we will find the money somewhere. … We made the decision to give service to kids over things. I can’t support it,” Ewen said, when the topic was discussed at the board of education’s meeting on Tuesday. “I actually think the best strategic plan comes from the people who have to implement it.” Senior staff should be the ones to carry it out, Ewen said. But Voice New Westminster trustee Casey Cook said hiring a consultant is a small investment that will lead to significant

trustee to declare a conflict because of his daughter’s employment as a special education assistant in New Westminster. As a result, he began the practice of abstaining from voting and leaving the room during budget talks related to his daughter’s union. Last year, the confederation passed a resolution – put forward by the New Westminster district parent advisory council – to follow Ontario and Alberta’s lead in banning school board employees, including teachers,

working in other school districts. As well, three trustees have family members working in New Westminster’s school district. “Long overdue,” trustee Casey Cook wrote on Twitter in response to a B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils update on its website about the group. Cook, a two-term trustee, raised the issue of conflict of interest when he was elected to the board of education in 2008. He was the first

savings down the road. “We are going into critical periods, in terms of budget setting, it is critical that we get a strategic plan in place,” Cook said. Fellow Voice trustee Lisa Graham agreed, saying devising a plan with outside help is a “no-brainer.” It was Voice trustee MaryAnn Mortensen who made the motion calling for the district to engage a consultant to conclude the strategic directions plan with the goal of expediting its implementation. In the end, the board voted down the bid to bring in a consultant with Janzen, Ewen, Campbell and Phelan against it, while Cook, Mortensen and Graham were in favour. For an extended version of this story and more on school board issues, see www.royal cityrecord.com.

from serving as school trustees to avoid a genuine or perceived conflict of interest. The confederation is a provincewide group that lobbies the government on behalf of parents and represents a membership of more than 1,000 parent and district advisory councils from every school district in the province. Currently in British Columbia, school board employees are only prohibited from becoming trustees in the district where they work.

‘More than just putting the fire out’ Mobile command unit allows fire department to stay on scene and support the community after a fire

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster Fire and Rescue Service won’t be dousing flames and heading back to the hall after major fires. Following an apartment fire on Ash Street on Aug. 29 and a fire in commercial buildings on Columbia Street on Oct. 10, the fire department set up the city’s mobile command unit for several days following the fires. “We used the mobile command unit, not only for command operations but for community outreach,” Fire Chief Tim Armstrong said about the Columbia Street fire. “We dealt with the business owners, we dealt with customers of the businesses. I think a lot of people were in shock the first day. After the weekend, it sunk in.” Armstrong said he’s been encouraging his staff and the city to recognize that the department has a role to play after the flames have been extinguished. “We are more than just putting the fire out. We are there after the fact, we are the emergency management office to support the community and give some leadership and direction on how to recover,” he said. “Any kind of a major fire, we are going to continue to have a presence on scene. They come back and they need some answers. Even if they don’t necessarily like the answers they are getting, they still need support and direction.” In 2012, New Westminster city council moved responsibility of emergency management from the city administrator’s office to the fire.

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Service on the go: Fire Chief Tim Armstrong with the New Westminster mobile command unit, which allows the ﬁre department to remain on scene after major ﬁres and continue to help with emergency operations and community outreach. “That is something I have implemented, now that emergency management is under fire,” Armstrong said of the changes. “I

have been saying we are risk mitigators first through our fire prevention efforts and things like that, but when we do have

an emergency response, then we are also there to support the recovery efforts to the community and people.”

City names its new development director BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster didn’t have to go too far to find its new director of development services. After a nationwide search, the city concluded that Beverly Grieve was the best person for the job. Grieve, the city’s manager of planning, has been serving as acting director of development services since June. “Beverly has been doing great work for the city throughout the time she’s been here,” Mayor Wayne Wright said in a

press release. “I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her and to her contributions in her new leadership role – she will be busy.” Grieve, who has worked with the city’s planning department for six years, previously worked as a senior planner with Metro Vancouver for three years and as a housing planner with the City of Burnaby for nearly two decades. Grieve has a master’s degree from the University of British Columbia’s School of Planning and is currently an instructor at Simon Fraser University’s centre for sustainable community devel-

That is just one-third of this person’s responsibility.” John Stark, the city’s senior social planner, is currently serving as the acting manger of planning.

Is there an Annie out there? THE LIVELY CITY JULIE MACLELLAN

he search is on for a “spunky, friendly and big-voiced” girl to play everybody’s favourite orphan. The Royal City Musical Theatre Company is holding two casting call sessions to cast the title role in its upcoming April production of Annie. The casting calls are on Sunday, Nov. 17 – one at 11 a.m. in Vancouver and the other at 2 p.m. in Port Coquitlam. Director Valerie Easton and musical director James Bryson will be on hand looking for a 10- to 12year-old girl who fits the “spunky, friendly and bigvoiced” description. Girls should bring sheet music and come prepared to sing a song from a Broadway show. They should also bring jazz shoes, as there will be a dance audition. The Vancouver audition is at Broadway Edge Studio, 8713 Cambie St.

The Port Coquitlam session is at Broadway Bound Studio, 2701 Kingsway Ave. Interested performers can sign up for the audition online at www.tinyurl. com/FindingAnnie. You can find more information at www.royal citymusicaltheatre.com or email rcmtoffice@telus.net for more details.

Hot fundraiser

A recent movie night fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society was a big success. The night included an exclusive screening of the new Brooke Shields comedy The Hot Flashes at the Landmark Cinemas at New Westminster station on Oct. 10. A press release from the organizers notes that a total of $8,205 was raised for the cause – including $2,690 in cash and $5,515 of in-kind donations. Robyn Murrell of Zhoosh Fitness by Design, one of the event organizers, said: “We had so many supporters, we really want to thank the community and businesses. Too many

to list here, but I can tell you that we had 35 local businesses participate and could not have done this without each and every one.” It was a particularly difficult day in New Westminster – it was, of course, the day of the big fire that destroyed the E.L. Lewis Block downtown. One of the event organizers from B2B NOW (Business-to-Business Network of Women) lost her business on Front Street, The FAT Paint Company, because of the fire. “Several people did not make it to the event because of the fire, but the team decided to proceed and are very grateful for the support,” said Sonja Curry of Sonja Curry Design Inc., one of the event organizers. The organizing team has posted thanks to their supporters and photos of the event at their Facebook page – tinyurl.com/ HotFlashesFacebook.

Orchestra ushers in fall with colourful concert

As Mother Nature puts on her annual display of colour, the New Westminster Symphony Orchestra presents its first fall concert with a vast array of colourful music to match. MaestroJin“Jack”Zhang opens the Nov. 10 concert at the Massey Theatre with the famous toe-tapping overture to Glinka’s opera, Ruslan and Lyudmila – a thoroughly entertaining piece of Russian classical music that concertgoers will immediately recognize, according to local arts

promoter Tony Antonias. Finnish composer Jean Sibelius of the late Romantic period follows with The Karelia Suite – a collection of orchestral pieces Sibelius wrote for a patriotic historical pageant to be presented by students of the University of Helsinki. More family music follows, with the orchestra performing the very popular and beautiful music by Borodin known as The Polovetsian Dances. They happen to be the bestknown selections from Borodin’s exceptional yet

seldom performed opera Prince Igor. Asked why Prince Igor is rarely staged, a world-renowned conductor once replied, “the casting is extremely difficult to fill the various singing roles.” Immediately following intermission, Zhang will lead the orchestra in a performance of a great masterwork by British composer, Sir Edward Elgar, Enigma Variations. Antonias points out Elgar composed his Variations on an original theme for orchestra; a set of

14 variations on a hidden “theme” that is, in Elgar’s words, “not played.” As history tells us, Elgar dedicated the piece to “my friends pictured within,” each variation being an affectionate portrayal of

one of his close acquaintances. The enigma is the hidden theme. “This is going to be one of the most beautiful classical concerts you’ve heard in ages,” says Antonias. “So don’t miss it!”

The concert takes place Sunday, Nov. 10, 2 p.m. at Massey Theatre. As always, admission is by donation. For more about the orchestra, check out its website at www.nwso.ca.

Storytellers help businesses Dreaming of sharing your story with the world? Don’t know where to start? Royal City Writers has just the thing for you. On Nov. 12, Royal City Writers is hosting a workshop with all proceeds going to help the businesses affected by October’s Columbia Street fire. The evening workshop starts at 6 p.m. at the River Market and features a number of writers and artists. Among the guest speakers is New Westminster’s own Marilyn Norry – creator of My Mother’s Story, a project that encourages people to write their mother’s story. Norry is set to speak about the project. The event is free, thanks to New

Westminster’s city and neighbourhood small grants program, but organizers, including speechwriter Diane Haynes, hope people will donate as all the money goes to businesses affected by the fire. “For eons, people have gathered around a fire to tell stories,” Haynes said in the release. “It seemed fitting to offer this event as way to raise funds for the local businesses affected by October’s fire.” For the first part of the workshop, guests will hear from the various speakers, including Colleen Winton, Dr. Yvette Lu, Elee Kraljii and Stephen Toope, founder of Royal City Writers. In the final hour, guests will participate in a mini writers’ workshop. See www.royalcitywriters.ca. – Cayley Dobie

Want to play Santa for an isolated senior? AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

he Seniors Services Society is getting set for the Christmas season. The society is hard at work on plans for the Be a Santa to a Senior program that it will offer in conjunction with its partner, Home Instead Senior Care. Starting Nov. 15, four businesses will be setting up trees where people can

find the name of a local senior they can help over the holiday season. Kelly Friesen, a program coordinator at the Seniors Services Society, said the society was able to delver more than 200 gifts to its clients last year and was a “huge” success. The society is hoping that, with the community’s support, it will be able to reach even more isolated seniors as part of this year’s program. Be on the lookout for trees at four locations in the upcoming weeks: Thrifty Foods in Sapperton (270 East Columbia St.); London Drugs at Westminster Centre (555

Sixth St.) and at 7280 Market Crossing; and Your Dollar Store with More (811 Carnarvon St.)

Helping youth

A New Westminster organization has donated funds to two causes – and continues to work towards a bigger goal. Rover Scout Merch in New Westminster, a division of the End2End Media design firm, has donated more than $400 to each of two funds – the Scouts Canada Brotherhood Fund and the No One Left Behind Fund, for a total of $858.40 donated to date. All of the proceeds have been raised from

the sale of Rover Scout Merch products benefiting Scouting. “Given the difficult economy, I feel that it’s important to give youth the opportunity to experience the adventure that Scouting provides,” said Kimberly McGilvray, project leader and lead designer for Rover Scout Merch. “I feel like these opportunities, which many youth will not otherwise have, provide young people with the chance to experience the leadership developing that Scouting provides.” Rover Scout Merch has set a goal of raising $2,000 for each of the two funds during the next two years.

McGilvray, who runs End2End Media, is also a Cub Scout leader and Rover Scout with Scouts Canada’s 21st Burnaby Highlanders at SFU.

Friendly city

The City of New Westminster is a friendly place to do business. That’s the verdict of the Vancouver chapter of Commercial Real Estate Development Association, which recently presented the city with a 2013 NAIOP Award for Municipal Excellence in the Most Business Friendly category. “We’ve been working hard to create a business

friendly environment in New Westminster, and this award is proof that we’re making good progress,” said Mayor Wayne Wright in a press release. The City of New Westminster, which shared the award with the City of Abbotsford and the District of North Vancouver, received the award for implementation of policies to support the creation of new job spaces. NAIOP singled out the city’s decision to phase in a reduction of property taxes for light industrial users beginning in 2013. Send Around Town ideas to Theresa, tmcmanus@royal cityrecord.com.

New Westminster resident campaigns for cannabis BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A New Westminster resident thinks it’s high time laws were changed around the possession of marijuana. Patrick, who asked that his surname be withheld to avoid potential repercussions with his employer, is a volunteer with the Sensible B.C. campaign that’s seeking to decriminalize the simple possession of cannabis in

B.C. While providing people with information about the campaign at local SkyTrain stations and parks, Patrick also shares his experience of being caught with marijuana in 1974. “I got caught with two joints. I ended up doing 30 days in jail,” he said. “It had a profound effect on my life – my chance for jobs, jobs that required security clearance.” While Patrick has since received a pardon, he said people with

great skills and abilities get passed over for jobs because they have criminal records for possessing small amounts of marijuana. “It’s a bad law in general,” he said. “There are some people who don’t like the substance of marijuana, but they don’t like the aspect of it being a criminal thing.” In addition to affecting people’s work and travel opportunities, Patrick said the existing marijuana laws impact how some

members of society view them. “Look at it in a sane and humane way,” he urges people. “Even though you may not have any interest in it or the substance, it’s all about the laws and how these laws can affect us and our way of looking at people.” Sensible B.C. volunteers are collecting names on petitions calling for a marijuana referendum. In order to get a provincewide referendum next September on the Sensible Policing Act, which

would amend the Police Act, the campaign needs to get signatures of support from 10 per cent of registered voters in every riding in B.C. AccordingtoSensibleB.C.,more than 3,580 British Columbians were charged with simple possession of marijuana last year. For more information on the Sensible B.C. Campaign, visit http://sensiblebc.ca.

The City is currently making upgrades to the full length of Ewen Avenue. These upgrades will make Ewen a more safe and attractive street for walking, biking and driving. As part of these upgrades, the City is redesigning the intersection of Howes Street and Ewen Avenue. There are two design options for this intersection: a roundabout or a trafﬁc signal. The designs for the new intersection seek to balance trafﬁc management, road use safety and creation of an attractive entrance to the community at Ewen and Howes.

New West girls lead district at high school cross-country BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Circus catch: New Westminster’s Matt Seymour goes up high for a clutch pass reception in last week’s 24-21 loss to Handsworth at Mercer Stadium. The loss cost the Hyacks third place in the west.

Sarah Stewart and Emily Chilton of New Westminster were the first BurWest district finishers at the B.C. high school cross-country championships. Stewart and Chilton both finished in just over 18 minutes to lead the Hyack team of Zoe Loewen, Raquel Tjernagel and Amanda Zacharuk to 17th place overall in the senior girls’ 4.3-kilometre race at Aldergrove Lake Park in Langley on Saturday. Jennifer Shannon of Burnaby South and St. Thomas More student Taylor McIntosh both finished among the top 100 senior runners. Glynis Sim of Salmon Arm won the women’s individual title with a winning time of 16:13.05. In the first-ever junior provincial final, overall BNW district champion, Glenbrook Middle School student, Grace Fetherstonhaugh placed 10th in the junior girls’

4.3km race. Fetherstonhaugh’s time of 17:26.06 was less than a minute behind race winner Taryn O’Neill of George Elliot Secondary. Sara Eng of Burnaby South also had a crisp time of 18:41.18 to place four spots ahead of teammate Celine Loriot in 52nd place overall. The Burnaby Central team of Reese Wright, Natasha Louie, Laura Choo and Sara Brinkac combined to place 16th in team aggregate standings. Jemal Reta led the Burnaby/New Westminster district to its best finish in senior boys’ cross-country for a third straight year. The Byrne Creek Secondary student placed 10th overall in the boys’ 6.3km race. Reta’s time of 21:26.24 was less than a minute behind this year’s winner, Nathan Wadhwani of Terry Fox, the fifth-place finisher in 2012. Reta placed eighth at last-year’s B.C. high

Hyacks lose heartbreaker on final play of the game

Second time unlucky for New West striker

ball,” lamented Lalji. “Handsworth plays with a ton of heart, but they’re so undersized. It’s frustrating.” Trailing 17-7 heading into the final quarter, Tyrone Morgan, who rushed for 148 yards on 19 carries, scored his second TD of the game to shave the deficit to three points. Handsworth got that score back in the final three minutes, but Angelo Tanjuaquio answered back, slipping into the end zone to make it a onescore game. Gurveer Dhaliwal recovered the ensuing on-side kick and then caught a long pass from Mackenzie Ratcliffe to set up the last-second dramatics. With no time left on the clock, Tanjuaquio, who also rushed for more than 100 yards, appeared to have scored the winning TD from two yards out, but it was ruled otherwise on the procedure call. Wayne Palmer’s 25-yard field goal attempt from the left hash mark missed its mark. “For us, the defence in the first half played well, but we needed

Trinity Western’s Caitlin Haines came close to playing the hero for a second time at the Canada West women’s soccer final in Victoria this weekend. Haines, a fifth-year education major from New Westminster, scored the game-winning goal for the two-time defending Canada West conference champion Spartans in a 2-1 overtime victory over the University of Victoria in semifinal play on Friday. But a day later, that game-winning magic just wasn’t there for the Spartan senior. Tied 1-1 after regulation time, Julia Ignacio gave the University of Alberta a 2-1 lead five minutes into extra time. Alberta goalie Kelti Biggs did the rest, palming a shot off a free kick over the bar in the first half of overtime and later, with just three minutes left in OT, robbing Haines in a wild attempt by the Spartans to equalize. “We’re obviously bitterly disappointed that we couldn’t three-peat, but I’m really proud of the girls and how hard they fought tonight,” said Trinity Western head coach Graham Roxburgh in a school press release. “It was a good battle out there and, just like last night, one good team had to lose a tough game.” The win was Alberta’s first Canada West title since 2001. In the bronze-medal match, UVic, including Amy Lawrence, defeated the University of British Columbia, including Alisha Penev and Kym Van Duynhoven of Burnaby, 3-1 on penalty kicks.

New Westminster’s first loss at home this season will be remembered more for what didn’t happen. In a fourth-quarter comeback bid that had the makings of a Hollywood ending, the varsity Hyacks managed to negate the game-winning touchdown and then come away emptyhanded following a 24-21 loss to the Handsworth Royals in B.C. high school AAA varsity football at Mercer Stadium last Friday. “It had the potential to be one of the (outcomes) you could never forget, but now want to forget,” said Hyacks’ head coach Farhan Lalji. In a game that had third place in the west at stake, New Westminster turned the ball over four times on fumbles and, at the most crucial point in the game, were penalized on a legit illegal procedure call that brought back a last-second touchdown that would have won the game. “We were not playing clean foot-

stops, and we didn’t get them at times in the second half,” Lalji said, adding there needs to be improvement on both sides of the ball. The loss and the subsequent fourth-place finish in the west leaves the Hyacks at home against Centennial on Friday, with the winner to advance against eastern champion Terry Fox the following week. Game time for Friday’s playoff matchup is 7:30 p.m. at Mercer Stadium.

Hyack all-stars

New Westminster placed three players on the B.C. high school AAA varsity Western conference all-star football team. Wide receiver Tristan Sands and lineman Harper Sherman were both named to the all-offensive team, while defensive lineman Billy Collins also received all-star mention. Seniors Angelo Tanjuaquio, James Nicolas, Jeremy Stewart and all-purpose Grade 11 Matt Seymour also received votes in the all-star balloting.

New Westminster sports briefs Grandview Steelers rookie forward Timothy Chow led all scorers with a goal and two assists in Sunday’s 4-3 overtime win over the Port Moody Panthers. Chow tied the score 2-2 midway though the middle period, set up Christopher Seto with the go-ahead marker on a third-period power play, and then assisted on the game-winner by first star Joel Gaudet in OT. The win improved the Burnaby Winter Club-based Steelers’ record to 8-5-1-2.
