DREAMING OF A VINTAGE CHRISTMAS

◗ NEW MAYOR

◗ NEW HIGH SCHOOL

Ministry still on board

Cote is eager to lead BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER

Mayor-elect Jonathan Cote is getting set to take the top spot in city hall after breezing to victory on election day. In the Nov. 15 civic election, Cote garnered more votes than the four-term mayor in every poll, finishing with 7,661 votes compared to Wayne Wright’s 5,149 votes. On election night, Cote told supporters about an elderly woman he met earlier that day who said she had voted for Cote and Wright, but was told her ballot would be rejected for picking both candidates. When she found out she could only vote for one, she cried. “Wayne has done an incredible job,” Cote, 35, said about Wright, 71. “He’s been my mentor.” Cote, who attributed his election success to running the hardest working and strongest campaign, will officially be sworn in as mayor on Dec. 1. Cote said his first priority as mayor is to tackle New Westminster ’s transportation issues. “The Number 1 priority is taking the master transportation plan we have spent the last two years developing and actually work on implementing it and trying to address some of the challenging transportation issues we face in New West,” he said. “The last thing I want to do is see that document gathering dust up at city hall. To me, I want that to be the top priority of what the city is working on. I know we’ve got a lot on our plate, but to me that is the top priority.” ◗Cote Page 8

A recent letter from the Ministry of Education has New Westminster school district staff reassured about the future of the long-awaited high school replacement. The letter outlines project details that have been agreed upon between the Ministry of Education and the school district, including that the school will be replaced, not renovated. “The Ministry of Education is committed to work with School District #40 to advance this project on a priority basis,” says the letter, signed by deputy minister Dave Byng. The replacement school will be built on the existing New Westminster Secondary School site, taking into account the areas which have been designated as cemetery; the capacity of the school will be 1,900 students, serving grades 9 to 12, the letter states. Another development, based on recent survey work, is that the existing school is now deemed to have a high-risk seismic ranking, “meaning the school becomes an immediate concern,” which helps the call to replace the aging building, the district’s director of operations Doug Templeton told The Record. Templeton and school board chair Jonina Campbell met with local media Monday to discuss the letter from the Ministry, which they saw as a positive step toward getting the school replaced. ◗NWSS Page 8

Vintage vibes on home tour BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

atherine and Jim Hutson are taking a trip down memory lane to Christmases past for the upcoming Homes for the Holidays tour. Having opened up their Queen’s Park home for the heritage home tour in the spring, the Hutsons are now letting folks see how they decorate for the holidays. On Dec. 7, they’ll be showing off their collection of Christmas kitsch from the 1940s to 1960s. “Jim likes to recreate the Christmas of his youth,” Catherine said. “I call it his Mad Men Christmas.” While some of the homes on the Homes for the Holidays tour will be decked out in more classic décor, the Hutsons are opting for a funkier vibe in their 1912 home. As folks check out the home, decorated in a mix of shabby chic/vintage flair, they’ll hear Christmas records from the ’50s and ’60s spinning on a replica turntable. Jim, a flea market and thrift store aficionado, has amassed a collection of vintage made-in-Japan Christmas figurines that will be on display.

Whose crown is it? City looks into logo use BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A trio of Royal City residents may have picked the wrong crown to deal with during the recent civic election. As part of the 2014 civic election campaign, mayoral candidate James Crosty and councillor candidates Gavin Palmer and Scott McIntosh sent out brochures in an envelope bearing an image of a crown above the words New Westminster. The enveloperead:“PLEASEOPEN–Important Election Documents. Information you should know before you vote November 15th, 2014.” Blair Fryer, the city’s manager of communications and economic development, said the crown logo shown on the envelope is immediately recognizable locally as representing the City of New Westminster and was trademarked in 2010. “Currently the issue is with our solicitors,” he said. “From the city’s perspective, at this point the election may be over, but it

is still necessary to ensure these candidates are aware of the trademark infringement and they understand that we do take this issue very seriously.” Fryer said the elections office informed him on the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 14 that it had received a couple of complaints earlier in the morning that elections staff had forwarded to Elections B.C. Elections B.C. informed the city the issue around trademark infringement was for the city to address. “Later in the day the elections office came to me and said they had received many phone calls and emails over the course of the day from people either asking if it was from the city and the elections office, either that or calling to complain that when they received it in the mail they believed it was official communication and when they opened it up and candidate information spilled out they were quite upset about that,” he said. “I immediately spoke to our solicitors and asked them to look into what avenues the city has and

Contributed/THE RECORD

Whose logo is it? The city is investigating possible trademark infringement in the use of this envelope by three candidates in the recent civic election. recourse the city has for this.” Although the election is over and the mailout appeared to have no impact on the results, Fryer said the city has to ensure that the city logo and brand is presented in a positive and professional manner at all times. The issue caused considerable debate among local residents on Twitter. “The crown is an essential part of the city logo,” he said. “Essentially what was

done, the crown icon which is a key feature of the city logo was used on the cover of a mailing that led to many residents thinking it was official communications from the City of New Westminster.” According to Fryer, the city received trademark certificates for the crown icon as well as the crown icon with the words New Westminster below it. “We certainly would like to get our solicitors to inform us as to the best approach on this,” he said. “Whether the election is over or not, it is important for us that our city logo and brand be presented in a professional way at all times, and when people see that logo and brand, they understand it is communicating official communications from the City of New Westminster.” Both Crosty and Palmer told The Record they had no comment about the use of the crown. McIntosh couldn’t be reached for comment before deadline. www.twitter.com/TheresaMcManus

She points out that the number that says B.C.’s child poverty of poor children in B.C. was rate is the highest in Canada. 153,000. That’s enough kids to B.C.’s child poverty rate is THE RECORD fill the Canucks’ stadium more 18.6 per cent compared to the than eight times. national rate of 13.3 per cent.

It would be laughable if it wasn’t That’s almost one in five children in so tragic. this province.

OUR VIEW

The province essentially ignores the issue hoping someone else will step in. To say this is a doomed non-plan of a plan seems rather obvious. First Call’s report makes 16 recommendations, including increasing the B.C. minimum wage and welfare rates and adopting a $10-a-day child care program to cut the child poverty rate to seven per cent within the next seven years. Not surprisingly, most of the children are found in single-mom homes who exist in low-income homes or on social assistance. Single moms who, if they

can’t get help with child care, may be doomed to a life on welfare. And, even if they can get a job, it’s likely to be at the minimum wage which, again, puts them at a poverty level. Our premier continually tells us that we live in one of the richest and most bountiful provinces in the country. If that is true, how on earth can we justify this incredible injustice forced upon the children in this province. ‘Families first.’ We only wish it applied to the kids in poor single-parent households.

Election was a warning to the NDP IN THE HOUSE

KEITH BALDREY

he municipal election results in three key areas should cause alarm bells to ring in NDP circles, and celebration fireworks to go off in Green Party ones and perhaps among B.C. Liberals as well. In Vancouver, Surrey and the capital region, voter turnout increased significantly – but relatively few of those new voters opted for NDP-linked candidates. Instead, the Green Party and centre-right parties were the chief recipients of the flood of new voters. Those in the left in Vancouver are tearing their hair out because they think that the far-left COPE party split the vote and cost Vision Vancouver support, but that’s not necessarily what happened. The real story is that the NDP is not getting new voters out, and that has dire implications for the party in the next provincial election if that trend holds. In Vancouver, for example, the Green Party’s Adrienne Carr shot to the top of the council polls as she increased her support by more than 25,000 votes, which is somewhat staggering. The right-leaning NPA boosted

its council vote by roughly 12,000 votes. But while incumbent Mayor Gregor Robertson boosted his own totals slightly, the Vision/ NDP vote was essentially stagnant, as its top candidate got slightly less than its top candidate in 2011. The party also flat-lined in the vote for school board, and lost control of the park board (this, even though 37,000 people voted who did not vote in 2011). It’s hard to see a credible argument that if COPE were to disappear tomorrow, all of its supporters would flock to Vision. A significant number would, of course, but I fail to see any evidence to suggest most would. In fact, the vote for COPE city council candidates in this election actually dropped in this election, despite all those new voters. No, the story in Vancouver is that the Green Party was able to greatly increase its support, while the NPA also boosted its vote by a significant amount (the Greens also elected two parks board commissioners and hold the deciding vote on the school board, as their support shot up by 10,000 to 15,000 votes). In Victoria, the outcome was slightly more encouraging for the NDP, but the party lost the seemingly impregnable mayor’s chair to a Green-like candidate. Lisa Helps beat incumbent Dean Fortin, despite the fact that the

Dear Editor:

Re: Wright, McIntosh will collect severance pay, The Record, Nov. 21. The gravy train never ends. To say I was shocked at the front page news that Wright and McIntosh will be receiving a “severance” would be an understatement. I think it’s disgusting that by virtue of choosing not to run or not winning an election entitles these two to $70,000. So what does “about” $70,000 mean? Again fuzzy finances from city hall. As taxpayers, why can’t we be told exactly what it’s going to cost us? When I hear “about” from city hall it feels like it’s going to be a heck of a lot closer to $80,000! I also take offence at McIntosh’s comment that “It’s like a tiny pension.” It’s an insensitive remark ◗Election Page 7

and insults those in the city that make less than that a year and still have to fork out property taxes to feed unsustainable policies like this one. Let’s have some transparency here! How many and what other “benefits” and pensions will these two continue to receive after their “service” to the city? Perhaps we could throw them retirement parties at the new Anvil Centre but only hire companies approved by city hall with the living wage provison. The idea of a separation allowance is distasteful, to say the least, and just exhibits another example of pigs at the public trough that just can’t get enough. The concept of serving the community is greatly blinded by the entitlement that these people feel is their right. It is simply not sustainable, and it’s in poor taste.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Kudos to independents Dear Editor:

Congratulations to the successful candidates elected to mayor, council and school board. I would like to thank and commend the unelected “independent” candidates for their honesty in declaring their independence up front, and who put their best foot forward and became involved in Election 2014. You are the real winners for standing up for your beliefs. Once again I found it a very enlightening and somewhat shocking experience to see how democracy really works in New Westminster. Once again the efforts of developers, labour groups, socialist media providers and endorsement/promotion by the provincial NDP MLA (past and present) have resulted in even a greater imbalance of control of our city. It is now up to all of us to be diligent watchdogs to assure our elected representatives live up to the concerns of the taxpayer. It is now time to reflect on the elected officials to make sure issues like transparency, accountability, transportation issues, spending, private sector job creation, economic development and avoidance of discrimination towards those who do not march to their drummer. I invite all taxpayers to join in over the next four years to hold elected officials’ feet to the fire by ensuring they are accountable to taxpayers for the benefit of all. This is to include federal NDP and provincial NDP politicians who undemocratically endorsed their friends in the DLC slate and bypassed the views of the balance of their constituents. John Ashdown, New Westminster

Praise from a ‘free thinker’ Dear Editor:

Regarding our recent election: I’m not grumpy about (m)any of the results. I was offended when it was suggested (rather

strongly) that I might vote the same way a number of certain people (for whom I might vote myself) recommended. That would have taken all of the fun out of my hard work in deciding. I don’t attend meetings (or watch them online) in order to heckle, but to think independently. Heck, I don’t even expect politicians to “toe the party line.” I’ve tried to be a free thinker for decades. (Oops, have I just lost possible endorsements?) Thank you for your thorough coverage. After clipping items of interest on Nov. 19, I didn’t get enough ‘double double’ pages left from either local paper for my composting.

capital region’s NDP MLAs all strongly endorsed him and publicly campaigned for him. Helps’ victory sent a number of New Democrats reeling. Unlike Vancouver, Victoria’s municipal scene is less party-oriented, so it’s hard to make apples and apples comparisons on the council front, but it appears NDP-leaning candidates were able to take advantage of a higher turnout (almost 7,500) to slightly boost their winning totals from 2011. Not so Fortin. His support actually dropped by almost 1,000 people, despite that higher turnout. Helps was propelled into office by new voters, many of them young and likely Green-oriented. Considering the fact

Obama has the right idea Dear Editor:

It’s official, President Obama is against the Fraser Surrey coal port on logical reasons. Here’s what he just said about approving the Keystone XL oil pipeline through the U.S.: “It is providing the ability of Canada to pump their oil, send it through our (the U.S.) land, down to the Gulf, where it will be sold everywhere else.” Given that flawless logic, it makes no sense for Canada then to be accepting the lowest grade coal available from Montana, through Fraser Surrey Docks then barging it up to Texada Island and shipping it off to Asia. I like the U.S. president’s thinking. We won’t have to barge it up to Texada for too long, however, because as soon as Christy Clark can build her new Massey Tunnel replacement bridge, deep-hulled coal ships will then be able to sail up the Fraser River to Surrey and directly load there for shipping overseas. And you thought the bridge was being built to ease commuter congestion. When did politicians ever do anything that didn’t have a business-based ulterior motive? Gavin Wishart, New Westminster

the Greens almost won the federal byelection in Victoria two years ago, Helps’ win shouldn’t come as a total surprise. The capital region itself saw other Green candidates elected, including a new mayor in Central Saanich. These events suggest the NDP has work to do to consolidate one of its traditional strongholds. But I’d say right now, the odds favour the Greens stealing at least one more seat in the capital region in the 2017 provincial election. In Surrey, the centreright Surrey First party steamrolled to victory in both city council and school board races, as again more new voters backed that party than any of the other alternatives. This put a big smile on the faces of B.C. Liberals, who know Surrey – not

Vancouver – is one of the keys to them holding power in this province. There are two dozen provincial ridings spread among these three cities and regions. If a similar wave of new voters materialize in the 2017 provincial election and vote in similar patterns, the Greens could be the biggest benefactors. Of course, this latest round of municipal elections – with the spike in voter turnout – may be an anomaly. But if it isn’t – if it is a sign of renewed interest in politics among those who never bothered to vote before – it could be point to a big shake-up in future election outcomes in this province. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

NWSS: ‘We are going to celebrate every step of the way’ ◗ continued from page 1

“To me this is a commitment from the ministry to work with us to get us to a position where we can be successful,” Campbell said. Still, she acknowledged the letter doesn’t means the district has secured funding from the province to put the shovels in the ground, but it says something about the ministry’s willingness to move forward. “I don’t know how many people celebrate a pre-announcement,” Campbell said, laughing. “We are going to celebrate every step of the

way.” Campbell is optimistic that having the information in writing from the ministry, along with timelines and clear expectations, means the project is proceeding forward. The high school replacement project is one of the costliest and mostcomplex projects in the province. New Westminster Secondary School was built over an old cemetery in the 1950s. Some of the hefty $110 million price tag to replace the aging school includes costs for potentially deal-

ing with issues on the site, including those related to the cemetery. The deputy minister’s letter also asks for various pieces of information for the project to move forward, including determining the actual area of the high school, including the Neighbourhood Learning Centre space, a procurement review, a summary of capital expenditures, an understanding of the risks reviews, a budget by a surveyor and a completion of the project definition report. The ministry will assess each item submitted by the school district and

respond within two weeks of receiving it, deputy minister Byng’s letter states. Much of the requested work is already underway and near completion, Campbell said. The district expects the project definition report will be submitted to the province’s treasury board by February 2015, after it has the Minister of Education’s approval. The district anticipates a response on funding for the project by March 2015. Follow Niki Hope on Twitter, Jonina Campbell @nikimhope board chair

Cote: Mayor-elect says his platform is ‘ambitious’ but ‘doable’ ◗ continued from page 1

Making a decision about the future of Canada Games Pool is also a priority for Cote. “I am no stranger to city hall. I have been there for nine years. I know all the senior staff very well. It’s not going to be the new person in shaking everything up. I think it’s going to be getting the lay of the land and gradually working on a plan to see how we accomplish the big things, whether it be transportation or Canada Games Pool,” he said. “I did set out a very ambitious policy platform. I do think it was very pragmatic and very doable, but it’s going to require a lot of work.” While Cote finishes some work at the Insurance Corporation of B.C. before his last day there on Dec. 12, Wright is wrapping up some of his mayoral and police job duties at city hall. He’s also been fielding

calls and emails from people thanking him for making the city a better place since he arrived on the job 12 years ago. “It gives you a lot of satisfaction for what you’ve done and what you were working towards,” he said. “I have had some of the staff come in now and say the same thing, which is good because they are the ones that are going to be doing the work now. They are quite confident. I think there’s a great culture in here now of getting jobs done and bringing the city forward.” Wright, first elected mayor in 2002, would have entered the record books as New Westminster’s longest serving mayor if he’d won. He’ll likely spend Christmas in Australia and take some time to ponder his future, which could include a business opportunity in New West. “I’ve got a little bit of a plan done. I

have to think it through, evaluate it, what it costs, what is the potential. It’s going to get a good hard look,” said Wright, owner of Olde World Fudge. “If I do something, I’d rather do it in New Westminster than any place else. I will start to look into that.” Wright said he called Cote on election night and congratulated him on his win and wished him all the best to keep the city moving forward. Although Wright was seen by many to be non-partisan, he said the newly elected council mayor and council were all endorsed by labour and are viewed by many to be pro-NDP. “The people who aren’t with labour want to have a voice,” he said. “It’s up to them to ensure them that they do.” Cote was proud to be endorsed by the New Westminster and District Labour Council but agrees that city hall isn’t the

place for partisan politics. “I think I have demonstrated during my nine years on council that I haven’t taken a partisan approach to city hall and always worked for the best interests of the City of New Westminster,” he said. “To me, I don’t think it is the role of city hall to be getting involved in provincial or federal politics, other than to advocate for the interests of New Westminster. I don’t intend to change the way I have approached my work at city hall.” As he prepares to take on a new role as New Westminster’s mayor, Cote is planning to follow through with various ideas he put forward during the campaign, including starting a mayor’s blog, and carrying on with projects already in the works. “I’m pretty happy with how I’m leaving everything,” Wright said. “There’s enough in the hopper to keep everybody busy.”

Morning blazes keep ﬁreﬁghters busy BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Two early-morning calls kept New Westminster firefighters on the move and in need of a helping hand from their peers in Burnaby. New Westminster Fire and Rescue was called to a garage fire on Jardine Street in Queensborough at about 4:15 a.m. on Nov. 20. “It lapped on to the house on the property and got a bit of it going,” said Fire Chief Tim Armstrong. “I understand it was a pretty dilapidated home and garage.” Armstrong said it’s believed someone was living in the house but wasn’t sure whether they were home at the time of the fire. No injuries were reported. Armstrong said it appears the garage is a “write-off” and the house suffered some damage.

While firefighters were attending the Queensborough fire, New Westminster Fire and Rescue Services received a call at 5 a.m. about a fire on the Front Street parkade “Burnaby covered that for us,” Armstrong said. “We didn’t have any crews left. They were all at the Queensborough fire. We freed up one crew at that (Queensborough) one, and Burnaby backed us up. It didn’t turn out to be anything. It was a rubbish container on fire. It looked more dramatic than it was.” According toArmstrong, the call came in as “smoke coming from the parkade” but it turned out to be a rubbish fire. The fire set off a sprinkler on the parkade. “Anytime we get a working fire in the city here, we are pretty much all hands on deck,” Armstrong said.

trust anyone – it takes a lot to build up their confidence. It’s amazing the transformation after the eight weeks.” Anderson “blames” her students for her ongoing passion to help those who may be struggling. “It’s all my students’ fault,” she laughs. “To see them from the first day walking in and the transformation on the last day walking out or coming back with their very first paycheque or their own apartment – it’s overwhelming.” Anderson said she was shocked to be named New Westminster’s Citizen of the Year. “There’s so many people that were nominated that are worthy of it,” she said. “I really, really didn’t think I was going to win. There are so many great people who have done so much good stuff for New West.”

Anderson was so convinced that she wasn’t going to win that she didn’t even tell her daughter she was attending the Platinum Awards dinner. “My daughter got mad at me. She phoned me when we were there – she said, ‘You’ve been nominated, why didn’t you tell me?’ I said, ‘I am not going to win,’” she recalled. “When they called my name, you could have knocked me over with a feather. I was so surprised.” Anderson’s efforts in advocating for 12th Street, cooking for those in need at Christmas and helping to put people with barriers to employment back to work may have earned her the distinction of being Citizen of the Year, but Anderson said she’s the lucky one. “I am a very lucky girl because I get to do what I love to do,” she said. “I get up in the morning. When you’re smiling going into work, that’s pretty incredible.”

Revving up ministers’ image AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

ongtime New Westminster resident Kimiko Karpoff is challenging the cliché of women in ministry. Karpoff, a United Church minister, is featured in a calendar that aims to challenge stereotypes of women in ministry. The Calendar Revs features United Church women clergy engaged in activities such as taking part in protest marches, sporting high heels, hunting and bellydancing. “Some people have notions about what is proper for women in ministry to look like or what are proper activities,” Karpoff said in a press release. “We wanted to show the diversity of women in ministry. It’s potentially provocative, but it is also done with humour.” Proceeds from sales of

the Calendar Revs will support the Malala Fund, an international organization that aims to create a world where girls are empowered to reach their potential through quality education. “I am shown practising healing pathway, which is a type of energy healing,” Karpoff said. “Many people have expressed surprise to me that a minister could practise energy healing.” Karpoff said the idea of the calendar began with a conversation among a clergy group on Facebook after one woman had her photo taken for the clergy gallery in her church. “The photographer told her to tilt her head differently because she looked ‘too Jennifer Aniston.’ We started sharing stories of being told we looked too young or shouldn’t do certain activities or should dress a certain way,” Karpoff said. “From that came the idea of creating a calendar to counter some of the stereotypes and criticisms we experience as women in ministry.” Calendars are $20 (including shipping) and

Packages that look unusual or like they’re hiding something may be prone to inspection more so than others. Be honest about declarations of value and what is contained in the package.

The holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year for the shipping industry, and packages may endure a few bumps along the way. For fragile items, use extra packing peanuts, newspaper or other protective wrapping material. Choose the right size package so the gift does not move around much inside of the box. If the gift is expensive, insure the package in the event it gets lost or damaged. Also, you may want to spend a little more money to have the shipment tracked and a confirmation sent when the package is delivered. This can offer some peace of mind during a hectic time of year.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS !

New Westminster firefighters are set to face off against the Vancouver Canucks Alumni and two Canadian country singers in the Hydrant Cup. Every two years, the Vancouver Canucks Alumni come to town to play against the firefighters hockey team in a fundraiser for the New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society. “This is our number 1 fundraiser that our charitable society puts on,” said firefighter Paul Adamson, who organizes the Hydrant Cup. “We raise about $20,000 that we distribute throughout the community. We are hoping for another good turnout.” This year’s Hydrant Cup is taking place on Friday, Dec. 5 at Queen’s Park Arena. The puck drops at 7 p.m., but the off-ice action gets underway at 5:30 p.m. A live band will be performing in the lobby, fire trucks will be parked out front for kids to view, and firefighters will be offering a barbecue outside the arena. Sparky the firedog will drop by. “It’s more than a hockey game,” Adamson said. “It’s an extremely cheap family night out.” Tickets are $10 for a family of four (two

Country singers Aaron Pritchett and Chad Brownlee (a former Canucks draft pick) will be skating for the alumni team. Orland Kurtenbach and Ernie Dougherty will be behind the bench, while New Westminster Bruins coach Ernie “Punch” McLean will also return to his old stomping grounds as the firefighters’ celebrity coach. Tickets for the eighth Hydrant Cup are available at Queen’s Park Arena, Moody Park Arena and the Glenbrook Fire Hall at the Sixth Avenue and McBride Boulevard. – Theresa McManus

Album art show

Art lovers won’t want to miss the next exhibition in the Community Art Space at the Anvil Centre. The Arts Council of New Westminster is presenting Cover Story: Album Art Reimagined. The exhibition runs until Jan. 16, and an opening reception is set for Thursday, Nov. 27 from 5 to 7 p.m. The group exhibition shows what happens when you give local artists free rein to explore reimagined fake album covers using provided band names and album titles as prompts. “The work reflects the visual themes often explored in music design, reminiscent of 1970s rock, folk music, classical and pop music genres,” a press release says. “The albums are all standard music record size, appear familiar, as the artists used images often associated with popular cover designs. But on a closer look, they are all reimagined, an appropriated take on a popular cultural phenomenon.” You can check out all the fun at the new Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St. – admission is free. Call 604-527-4640 or see www. anvilcentre.ca for all the details.

Century House hosting holiday dinners

ew Westminster’s Century House is gearing up for its annual Christmas dinners, where members gather to celebrate the holidays over a traditional meal with all the trimmings. “I think (it’s) a chance for people to socialize together in a place that many consider their second home, quite frankly. ... There are many isolated seniors in our city,” said Kevin McKay, a recreation leader at Century House. “It’s pretty meaningful to a lot of them, and for many of them, it is the main Christmas dinner they’ll have.” There are two dinners scheduled for the holidays. The first is on Wednesday, Dec. 10 at 5

p.m. The Richmond Singers will be providing choral entertainment, and the mayor and council have also been invited. The second event is on Tuesday, Dec. 16, and the Langley Ukulele Ensemble will be performing. There will also be a traditional yule log ceremony, where people touch the log with a spring of holly to clear any bad thoughts or experiences, McKay explained. “Everything you’ve gathered up for the year you didn’t want to keep, you get rid of symbolically,” he said. Both nights feature a full, catered Christmas dinner, with turkey, mashed potatoes, all the trimmings and dessert. There’s also a 5 p.m. happy hour on both

nights, with drink specials. Both events will run till about 9 p.m. Century House regularly holds themed-dinners for members, and the Christmas ones can be popular. “Christmas is just a season where people like to have those traditional dinners,” McKay said, adding that Century House’s first one was held in the 1950s. Tickets are $19 for members, or $23 for nonmembers. McKay expects the Dec. 16 event to sell out, although there were still roughly 20 tickets left out of 150. Century House has more than 2,100 members. Anyone 50 or older is welcome. Info and tickets: 604519-1066

Seniors seeking Santas N

ew Westminster’s Seniors Services Society is hoping local residents will play Santa to seniors in need this Christmas. The society runs the annual program where people can pick up a gift for a senior at a local shop. “We have a lot of seniors in the community that are isolated, they maybe don’t have a network anymore of friends, lots of people have experienced loss as they age, maybe families live at a distance,” said Kelly Friesen, an independent living coordinator with the society.“We want to make sure seniors in our community

are not overlooked this time of year.” The society is hoping to help more than 200 seniors this year. So far, 169 have signed up for the program. “We are supporting atrisk and homeless seniors, seniors that are displaced and may be in the shelter system,” Friesen added. “It’s terrible enough not to have support and family (during) the holidays, … it’s a whole other scenario when you don’t have a home on top of it.” To get involved, visit one of the participating shops before Dec. 13, and look for a Christmas tree decorated with tags. Grab one of the tags (or more if

you are feeling especially generous), and shop for a gift, which can be left at the customer service desk. Seniors Services Society will wrap and deliver the present to one of hundreds of vulnerable seniors in the community. There are five participating stores: London Drugs (at 7280 Market Crossing and 555 Sixth St.), Save-OnFoods in Sapperton, Your Dollar Store With More at 811 Carnarvon St. and the PaddleWheeler Pub at 810 Quayside Dr.

Are you your own worst frenemy? tive way. “I might make mistakes, but that doesn’t make me a loser, and the only way to move forward is to try new things, test my limits and learn.” 2. A frenemy feeds your vices. I encourage my wife not to shop with friends who spend more than her. By comparison, they convince her that she hasn’t spent too much, and when she asks their opinion about buying yet another purse, they of course will agree and suggest buying two. If your friends smoke or exceed the healthy limit of two or three alcoholic drinks on any day, you are more likely to accept this as the norm and continue to harm your body. Do you rationalize your own excesses? 3. A frenemy’s negative attitude is infectious. If you keep company with people who are critical and negative about everything in the world, your own thoughts and attitudes are likely to shift towards cynicism. This is a perfect set-up for unhappiness and discontent. Could you be breeding negativity in your life with your own self-talk? Make your mind your friend. Knowing that what you habitually think shapes what you see and how you feel, observe your own thoughts. Substitute unhelpful thoughts and attitudes with both realistic and positive ones. You could ask yourself, “Is this line of thinking helpful or not?” What would you do if you recognized that a friend was really a backstabber and working against you? You’d probably break off your association. You can’t really do

HEALTHWISE

DR. DAVIDICUS WONG

n Joseph Goldstein and Jack Kornfield’s book, Seeking the Heart of Wisdom, “near-enemies” are states that are mistaken for desirable qualities, such as unconditional love, compassion and equanimity. For example, the “nearenemy” of love is attachment or desire. It seems like the real thing but is quite the opposite, especially when one doesn’t get what one desires. It can then transform into jealousy, envy and anger. The “near-enemy” of compassion – feeling connected to another through their suffering – is pity, which sets us apart from the other. The “near-enemy” of equanimity is indifference. The “near-enemy” personified in our lives is the “frenemy.” Frenemies are bad two-for-one deals. They may call themselves your friends, but they may act more like your enemies, doing things they ought not do. You might think that if you’re not a pre-teen or teenaged girl, you don’t have any frenemies, but take a close look at the actions of a frenemy. You might be surprised that you yourself are your own worst frenemy. 1. A frenemy puts you down. The most manipulative frenemies put you down behind your back. If you’re a frenemy to yourself, you might not even recognize the negative selftalk running in the background of your mind. Have you ever said, “I can’t do it,” “I’m a loser” or “Why should I even try?” When you catch yourself doing this, talk back to yourself – in a posi-

that if you discover that the frenemy is yourself. But having become more mindful of your negative self-talk and how you have been sabotaging your own well-being, you can choose to act like your own best friend and do what is best for you.

Help keep the roads safe BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

Residents looking for a way to give back to the community this holiday season are encouraged to consider volunteering for Operation Red Nose. The annual campaign, which provides drivers with a safe ride home for them and their vehicles during the holiday season, kicks off in New Westminster on Friday. “We’re always looking for volunteers,” said Chris Wilson of Operation Red Nose B.C.. “As the program grows in awareness, there’s just always more demand for rides, and we are kind of limited with how many rides we can give based on how many volunteers we have.” This is the third year Operation Red Nose has been active in New Westminster,

which is part of the Tri-Cities and New Westminster regional outfit. Last year, nearly 1,000 rides were given to drivers in the area and that number is expected to increase as awareness for the program grows, Wilson said. Offered on the four weekends leading up to Christmas and on New Year’s Eve, people who’ve had too much to drink or not feeling fit to drive can call 778-8666673 and three volunteers will come and pick up them up. Two volunteers – the driver and a navigator – will drive the person home in their own car while the third volunteer follows in the escort vehicle. Volunteers work 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. and are provided with free food throughout the evening. For more information on becoming a volunteer, visit operationred nosetricities.com.

Hyacks fumble away playoff op

Runner helps T-Birds to threepeat

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Hyacks were stopped in their playoff tracks by the Terry Fox Ravens on Friday. The Western Conference wild-card winner turned the ball over early against the No. 1-ranked Ravens and paid dearly for it, dropping a 37-0 decision in a wet and windy B.C. high school AAA football quarter-final matchup at Percy Perry Stadium. New Westminster fumbled the ball away on its first play from scrimmage and then coughed up the ball again on the ensuing kickoff after a quick Ravens’ score. Terry Fox also capitalized on a third fumble giveaway in the third quarter. “We blinked and it was 13-0 before the game was four minutes old,” said Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji. “You can’t gift a team that good three touchdowns, and unfortunately we did that.” The Hyacks generated just 168 yards of offence, including a combined 90 yards through the air from quarterbacks Mackenzie Ratcliffe and Jamie Shiho. Shiho completed threeof-three passes, including two for 48 yards to Dylan Musgrove, who also pulled in a 30-yard toss

Dark and stormy night: New Westminster Hyack Jeff Lugtu, left in white, pursues a Terry Fox ball carrier in miserable conditions at Percy Perry Stadium in a second-round playoff loss to the Ravens on Friday. from Ratcliffe for a total of 78 yards. All-conference wide receiver Matt Seymour had just three pass receptions for 12 yards for the Hyacks. Lalji praised his defensive line of Ebrahiem Farroghi, Hakam Williams and all-conference players Harper Sherman and Jorge

Yarwood for their play in the loss. The big four led the Hyacks in tackling, teaming up for a combined 17 tackles. “I thought our defence did some very good things, especially in the first half,” Lalji said. “We forced them to throw the ball in bad condititions, and (Fox was)

able to do it, so full marks to them.” Ravens’ pivot Conner McKee completed five of 11 pass attempts for 101 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown pass to Mike West. He also scored off a short quarterback keeper in the second half. West made his presence felt on defence as well,

leading all tacklers with 10 individual stops, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. With the win Terry Fox advances to the semifinals against South Delta at the University of British Columbia’s Thunderbird Stadium on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m..

Tamara Harris made her debut at the NAIA national cross-country championships count. The New Westminster runner earned AllAmerican status, finishing 29th overall to help guide the University of British Columbia to a third consecutive women’s cross-country title at the national championships in Lawrence, Kansas on Saturday. Harris completed the women’s five-kilometre race in a time of 18:35. UBC placed four runners in the top 10 to win the women’s aggregate title, while giving retiring head coach Marek Jedrzejek his fourth national title in his final meet. Senior Maria Bernard pulled away from the field with two kilometres to go to win the program’s first cross-country banner and the school’s first-ever individual title at an NAIA national championship. “It was exactly what I was hoping for,” said Bernard in a school press release. “I’m happy that’s the way we got to go out.”

Incredible comeback not enough for JV Hyacks BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

An incredible New Westminster comeback went for naught in B.C. high school junior varsity football last Thursday. The Hyack JVs scored 28 points in the second half and led with two minutes left in the game before eventually falling 39-35 to the visiting Mt. Boucherie Bears in a quarter-final game at Mercer Stadium on Nov. 20. “The kids showed a lot of heart to come back and lead the game for a brief moment. It shows they want to work hard for each other,” said Hyack head coach Chad Oatway after the game. “Of course it’s disappointing. We expected to go further.” Instead, New West, which had amassed a 10-0 season record up to that point, suffered its one and only loss of the season, while the interior champions moved on to take on Notre Dame in the semifinals later this week.

The junior Hyacks fell behind 20-0 following a successful opening drive and a big play on offence and defence by the Bears. The Hyacks, on a one-yard touchdown rush by Sammy Sidhu, trailed the West Kelowna school 26-7 at halftime. It looked like New West was about to implode to start the second half, when a miscommunication off the opening kickoff started the ball on the one-yard line. But quarterback Lucas Sabau marched the orange and black downfield and eventually scored. Boucherie replied with an impressive drive of its own, but Trew Dancey closed the gap again, scoring from 13 yards out with four seconds left in the third quarter. The Hyacks then recovered a short kickoff to start the final quarter and Sabau got himself into the end zone again to make it a one-score game.

New West stopped the Bears three and out on the subsequent drive following a combined sack by Dancey and Isaiah James and an individual sack by Sarban Sidhu on Boucherie QB Taylor Knoll. New West got the ball back on their own 27-yard line and drove the length of the field before Dancey scored his second TD of the game from 17 yards out to give New West its only lead of the game. But Boucherie wasn’t finished. Knoll took over the ball on his own 40-yard line and found his favourite receiver Nathan Humes for a big gain. With less than a minute to play and inside the red zone, Boucherie eventually punched the ball over the line on a threeyard run by Jesse Benneke. “You have to learn from every opportunity you can get,” said Oatway. “But these kids wanted another week.”

◗ MAJOR MIDGET HOCKEY

Defence keeping Giants near top BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The Northwest Giants slipped into a second-place tie with the Okanagan Rockets despite a threepoint weekend in B.C. major midget hockey. Giants captain Keegan Jones scored a pair of goals, including the second-period game-winner, in a 32 victory over the Greater Vancouver Canadians in Richmond on Saturday. The two teams played to a 3-3 tie the following day also in Richmond. The outcome left the Giants and Rockets three points behind regular season leading Cariboo Cougars with identical 134-1 records. Injuries and the lack of top-20 scoring appears to have caught up with the Burnaby Winter Clubbased team. The Giants, who raced out to a 10-0 record to start the season, have been playing .500 hockey in the month of November, including 2-3-1 against topsix teams.

The positive is the Giants’ defensive record, which is second in goals against up to this point. Goalie David Tendeck currently leads the league with a 2.09 goals against average. Warm is 7-2 this season, with a 2.66 average. On Saturday, defenceman Carter Stephenson opened the scoring with his third goal of the season. In the rematch, the Giants took a 3-0 first-period lead, but were shut out the rest of the way, allowing the Canadians time to post a three-goal comeback. Desi Burgart, Josh Latta and Nash Dabb, with a shorthanded goal, scored for the Giants in the first period. Canadians scoring leader Kyle Uy scored early in both the second and third periods, before setting up Michael Tilbury for the game-tying counter. The Giants play host to the 3-13-2 Kootenay Ice this weekend. Game times are 7:45 p.m. on Saturday and 9:30 a.m. on Sunday.

Burnaby South Secondary wrestler Jimmy Sidhu inked a national letter of intent to South Dakota State University. Sidhu placed third at the Pan Am cadet wrestling championships. He also won the Canadian juvenile/cadet championships and FILA cadet trials earlier this year.

On track: The Burnaby Velodrome is paying big dividends for B.C. riders at last weekend’s national junior and cadet track championships in Burnaby.

Hyacks halted in opener by MEI The New Westminster Hyacks dropped its senior girls’ basketball season opener 74-47 to No. 6-ranked Mennonite Educational Institute in an exhibition game on Monday. Madisen Obrovac led the honourable mention Hyack girls with 12 points, while Justice Steer and Emma Forgie chipped in with eight and six points, respectively. MEI led 34-28 at halftime. The Hyacks take on No. 7 McMath in Richmond on Thursday. Game time is 6 p.m.

Juniors off to good start

The junior girls’ Hyacks got off to a great start, edging MEI 53-51 in overtime. Sarah Forgie led New Westminster with 24 points. Devin Strome added eight points, while Mia Obrovac, Aly Fieber and Keja Davis all contributed six points to the win. The juniors will be taking part at the Collingwood junior girls’ basketball tournament this weekend.

Burnaby’s Kaleigh Fratkin was the only player from B.C. to be named to Hockey Canada’s national women’s development team for the upcoming 2015 Nations Cup in Germany. Canada will play national teams from Finland, Germany, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland at the four-day event. The international tournament runs Jan. 3 to 6.
