City forges ahead with Anvil Centre Name for new facility beats out The Exchange Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

New Westminster is forging its past into its future by naming the new civic facility Anvil Centre.

The name of the building currently under construction Downtown at Eighth and Columbia streets was announced at a council meeting Tuesday evening. The new moniker honours the city’s annual Anvil Battery ceremony during the Hyack Festival in May.

“It’s a really good name that has ties to New Westminster history, but also really speaks to where New Westminster is going. It’s a solid, strong name. What really intrigued me is it has a connection with the architecture, which was unintended.

The building looks like an anvil upside down,” said Coun. Jonathan Coté on Wednesday.

“I’m hopeful the community will embrace the name.”

It took a while for Coté to come around to it, though. The second choice was The Exchange, which he said was a little more contemporary and reflected exchanges of ideas, cultures and creativity.

But the Anvil Centre grew on him, especially after the logo was developed reflecting the anvil and the building’s shape.

City arts and culture director Greg Magirescu said naming it The 4x1.25_book_drive_ad_final.pdf Exchange could also confuse people

into thinking it’s a stock exchange.

He also said it was felt there were some negative connotations to The Exchange because some American districts with that name have turned derelict, as well as the area surrounding the New Westminster SkyTrain station being known in the past for drug deals and exchanging of needles.

“The Anvil represented something really unique to New Westminster.

The Exchange could be almost anywhere,” said Magirescu on Wednesday.

Outdoor games, a fitness area and social gathering places top the wish list for the undeveloped eastern portion of Westminster Pier Park.

The ideas for the wharf gleaned from community consultation were presented to city council on Tuesday before approval to hire a park designer to come up with three proposals for the blacktopped surface.

The go-ahead was also given for a structural assessment to see how much weight the area could handle. Its current structural life expectancy is 25 years compared to 75 years for the $25 million developed portion of the park, which opened in June.

In her report, assistant director of parks Jennifer Wilson said community feedback showed the most support was for a versatile outdoor games area that could handle a variety of sports and activities.

Second highest was activities, amenities or equipment for physical fitness followed by social gathering areas such as picnic tables or a festival area, and places to relax. please see, WhAT, A3

What to do with the wharf? continued from FRONT PAGE

The feedback was solicited without consideration of any financial or technical implications.

Wilson said it’s hoped the designer would be able to come up with some ideas by December. The preferred options would go before council in February with open houses in March. The planned timeline also includes construction in April with the goal of having it up and running for next summer.

“The opportunities are endless even in its current configurations,” said Coun.

Chuck Puchmayr, who also noted more people use the park at night than all of the other outdoor parks in the city combined.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER FILE

There were lots of suggestions for what the city could do with the undeveloped blacktopped area at the east end of Westminster Pier Park.

On Tuesday, council approved going ahead with hiring a designer to come up with some options.

Coun. Jonathan Coté would like to see the wharf be able to handle many different sports—such as ball hockey, basketball and lacrosse—and

activities.

“It would be great if it was something that was flexible,” said Coté. “It would be a shame to put something

there that would be just one particular use.”

A night market was suggested as a social gathering activity, but Coun.

Bill Harper said it may not be possible to do even a small one because it would be difficult to get the vendors into the area.

Coun. Lorrie Williams said on a trip to Paris she noticed well-used areas along the Seine River where sand had been brought in. She suggested sand for beach volleyball or for picnicking or tanning.

Other suggested uses for the area that weren’t nearly as popular as the others were: horticulture and connection with the environment; public art; and information on the river and history.

City council has given the green light to organize a working committee to be sent to the East Coast of the United States to gather information on handling natural disasters.

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, chair of the city’s emergency advisory committee, proposed the trip to learn how to deal with storms like Hurricane Sandy that hit the East Coast of the United PUCHMAYR States and their aftermath.

He noted the trip would be worthwhile because that area is similar to New Westminster in that it is at sea level and close to city infrastructure.

The idea came from fire chief Tim Armstrong, said Puchmayr. He doesn’t propose to go right away because it will be difficult to get around and authorities there won’t have had time to assess how they handled the situation. “It would be invaluable,” said Puchmayr of such a fact-finding mission.

He also said the working committee made up of city staff and first responders would look at restoration issues, not only physical but also to get local businesses back up-and-running and injecting money into the local economy.

A representative from the New Westminster school district will be invited to tag along.

Puchmayr said one East Coast school district website directed students on what to do, where to go, how classes were being rescheduled, what’s available and what’s open.

He also said New Westminster has been fortunate not to have suffered flood damage at least twice in recent years, including this year when a heavy winter snowpack throughout British Columbia last winter threatened to wreak havoc in the province.

“We’ve avoided two potential serious dike breaches only by the small advance of summer,” said Puchmayr. “We need to be better prepared and when it does happen we need to be quick in our action.”

City proceeds with its shark fin ban Council approves hearing on proposed bylaw Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Although Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond won’t be considering bylaws to restrict the sale of shark fin products until 2013, New Westminster is proceeding with its proposed ban.

On Tuesday, council approved first and second reading of the bylaw and will hold a public hearing on the issue Monday, Dec. 3.

“It’s the right direction for cities to be going. Ultimately it’s something the higher levels of government have to take a stance on,” said Coun.

Jonathan Coté. “Until that’s the case local governments making those bans are a place to start.”

He said he is comfortable moving forward with the bylaw because from an environmental and animal rights perspective it has been shown the practice of cutting off shark fins for soup is detrimental to sharks and their environment.

A staff report said a survey of Asian restaurants in New Westminster determined only one establishment is serving food items containing shark fins.

The Kirin Starlight, part of a

2013 Bus Service Optimization Open House

chain of upscale Asian restaurants in the Lower Mainland, located at the casino in Queensborough, has several items containing shark fins on its menu.

“The management of this restaurant advises banning shark fin products would not have a major impact on the business,” said the report.

A call to Kirin’s head office in Vancouver was not returned before the NewsLeader’s deadline.

The report advised council a bylaw adopted by the City of Toronto is being challenged in court, and if it is quashed New Westminster might have to review its bylaw. It was also noted a number of municipalities in B.C. and Canada have already implemented bylaws, as well as in the United States.

New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody NDP MP Fin Donnelly introduced a federal private member’s bill proposing to ban the importation of shark fin products into Canada last year. A vote is expected later this year or early in 2013.

Staff also contacted Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond and were advised their city councils won’t be considering bans until sometime in 2013.

New Westminsterbased mobile network company In Motion Technology has been ranked 26th by Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 program that recognizes leaders in the Canadian technology industry.

“In Motion Technology is an example of a company that has demonstrated the passion, determination and drive that are so important for growth in the Canadian technology sector,” said Richard Lee of Deloitte in an In Motion press release.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Pot laws out of step Marijuana reform advocates hope Washington and Colorado states’ vote Tuesday to legalize and tax marijuana sales will add momentum to their push for change in B.C. While it’s not yet clear if the U.S. federal government will allow state-by-state legalization of recreational marijuana use – other states already allow medical marijuana sales – the vote has huge implications here.

Washington state estimates it would collect $560 million in the first year from a planned 25-percent tax on the sale of licensed, regulated marijuana through authorized stores.

If enacted, this could also cause a partial collapse of B.C.’s estimated $7-billion-a-year illegal pot industry, as growers relocate to the U.S. to avoid the need to smuggle. Recently, the Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution calling for marijuana to be decriminalized. They’d rather pot be regulated and taxed instead, much like alcohol.

The U.S. votes are a progressive move toward responsible marijuana use. It’s time for B.C. to take a similar step toward decriminalization, if not legalization of marijuana.

The potential tax revenue and the opportunity to reduce law enforcement costs, and help unclog our court system is too much to pass up.

The poll results south of the border sent a message that U.S. drug policies are not working. As Canada’s drug policies follow the U.S. closely, it means ours aren’t working either – it’s time for a change.

Sensible B.C., a campaign headed by B.C. marijuana activist and medical pot dispenser Dana Larsen, wants to follow in the footsteps of both Washington campaigners and B.C.’s successful anti-HST drive.

It’s time we take our antiquated marijuana laws and let the people decide.

Forging a new hub at The Anvil It could have turned out bad.

Putting something as important as the naming of a civic centre to a committee could have led to some horribly lame pablum.

Consensus can lead to something as bland as a name like The Centre in Vancouver for the Performing Arts.

But with the unveiling this week of Anvil Centre, the new name of the Downtown multiuse civic facility, the City of New Westminster has chosen a name that’s durable, and grounded in something authentic and (pardon the pun) solid.

Until now, the working title of “Multi-Use Civic Facility” has been accurate but also highlighted the fact this new facility is hard to pin down.

What is it going to be?

It won’t be a community centre, in the traditional sense. A cultural centre? Nope.

A trade and exhibition centre?

Strike three.

But it will be a combination of

Chris Bryan

all of the above.

And more. When it opens in 2014, it will include a museum, a lacrosse hall of fame, a 350-seat theatre, dance space, a fine arts studio.

There will be meeting rooms, a visitors centre and more.

Will it work?

Or will it be a huge mess?

What’s the glue that will hold it all together?

A proper name is a decent start.

The city’s arts and culture manager Greg Magirescu says the community stakeholder committee—the group that helped come up with the name— tried to make sense of these multiple personalities.

They brainstormed: What else is multi-functional?

Sofa beds came to mind, but all agreed that wasn’t a flattering example.

A Swiss Army knife was better. Great tools and doo-dads.

Portable. Refined. Stylish (as long as it’s not on a loop hanging from your belt). I don’t know where that all led, though.

The group also looked at the New Westminster’s over-arching theme: past and present, with the civic centre’s location in mind.

It’s being built at the corner of Eighth and Columbia streets, a spot aptly described as the gateway to Downtown.

Look one way and you see the Westminster Trust building, the city’s first skyscraper.

And on the other there’s the newly branded Shops @ New West Station with its three soaring towers above.

“We wanted to link the two,” Greg Magirescu told me this week. “The tradition and the heritage with the contemporary.”

Which is where the Anvil Centre name comes in.

As many know, “anvil” refers to the Ancient and Honourable Hyack Anvil Battery, well known for its explosive annual display at Queen’s Park Stadium during the Hyack Festival, the traditional firing of the anvil.

And it is with aid of the anvil that blacksmiths forge something new.

At the new Anvil Centre, the goal is for it to become an incubator for the city, its creative centre, where new things emerge, through dance and art classes, business conferences and other social gatherings.

With all these uses there might be some great cross-pollination going on at Anvil Centre.

That’s probably why the naming group talked about The Hive being a good name.

Glad they changed their minds.

COMMENT

16th ANNUAL

SiLeNT AUCTioN

A fond Pattullo memory Re: Pattullo Bridge’s 75th anniversary (Story, NewsLeader, Nov. 14) The Pattullo Bridge played a memorable role in one of the best days of my life. My father had been deployed to Europe during the Second World War. He left in September 1942 and I was born in December. Our only visual knowledge of each other were the photographs exchanged in letters.

In September 1945 my Daddy was coming home! My Mom and I, along with her mother and sisters filled a taxi from Blenheim Street in Vancouver to the railway station on the Fraser River in New Westminster. The taxi driver, being unfamiliar with the turn to go under the Pattullo Bridge, mistakenly wound up crossing over the river. What a hubbub!

Reaching the south shore we turned around and raced back—paying the toll twice.

I remember the men getting off the train and, thanks to those precious photos, running straight to the correct uniformed man—my Daddy!

As a testament to my mother’s faithfulness during the years he was “overseas,” when he kissed her I objected— ”You can’t do that— that’s my Mommy!”

They soon bought land at Whalley’s Corner (108th Avenue/Ferguson Road and King George Blvd/Hwy) and we made many trips over the Pattullo Bridge, but none as memorable as that day in September 1945.

control and profit of shipping oil sands unrefined gunk out of the country. These “investors” don’t own anything and take no financial risk, for they borrow only created money—as all loans in fact are.

Not shipping our oil out of the country does not destroy incomes, but keeping all our oil here, refining it here, and using it here will be an economic benefit to Canadians. It will create many long term jobs and gasoline at the retail pump would be cheaper and not the deliberately inflated world price. The oil sands can only be treasure if we use it ourselves.

Terry Smith Garibaldi Highlands, B.C.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH Re: Road pricing has merit (Column, NewsLeader, Nov. 9) I disagree with Frank Bucholtz’s analysis and comments. First of all when the transit ridership pays less than it costs to maintain the transit system, much less grow it, this means one of two things:

1. The transit users don’t pay what it actually costs to commute and/or 2. The transit system needs to review and lower its operating costs in order to become profitable.

What should not happen and what has been happening is that homeowners, through their property taxes, are paying for the transit system despite the fact many of them don’t even use it. Using one’s automobile is way more expensive compared to bus fare, so the price one pays for using the bus must go up to make transit self-sufficient as well as go after those who don’t pay. Charging people when they use the roads is another tax grab over and above the fuel surcharges automobile drivers have to pay.

It is time to increase transit fares and create a user-pay system that is self-sustaining without going after innocent property owners for transit money.

Enough is enough!

Metro Vancouver’s biggest traffic bottleneck further down the highway and onto untolled crossings.

The new bridge officially opens with eight lanes on Saturday Dec. 1 and half-price tolls of $1.50 for regular cars will kick in a week later on Dec. 8.

The transportation ministry estimates the new bridge will cut commute times 50 per cent and save some drivers an hour a day.

But the full 10 lanes on the bridge and on the widened Highway 1 through Vancouver and Burnaby won’t be open until late in 2013 because construction is continuing on much of the corridor.

And some critics say even when the full project is complete, traffic heading to those cities will hit heavy volume at the offramps, backing traffic up onto the freeway.

“My prediction is congestion,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said.

“The pinch point will just be moved.”

He said Burnaby, New Westminster and Vancouver are all refusing to free up more road capacity in response – by eliminating parking lanes, for example.

“The highway is the access point and if that’s where people end up having to sit, that’s where they have to sit.”

North Burnaby Branch 105-4191 Hastings Street

But Port Mann/ Highway 1 project spokesman Max Logan said much of the westbound bridge traffic exits at Cape Horn or Brunette Avenue.

“We’re not expecting anything significant in terms of a pinch point or traffic bottleneck,” he said, adding drivers should see similar conditions they now see west of Brunette, until the entire $3.3-billion project is finished in late 2013.

It’s a different story east of the bridge.

By Dec. 1, there will be four lanes open in each direction running from Brunette over the bridge as far east as 200 Street in Langley – a doubling of highway capacity through Surrey.

One of the four lanes each way will be for HOV users, adding 20 kilometres where car pools and other vehicles with at least two occupants can bypass congestion.

Registered HOV lane users also get a 25 per cent discount at peak times.

Drivers who don’t want to pay a toll will be directed over the Pattullo Bridge, via the South Fraser Perimeter Road, which partly opens Dec. 1.

NDP transportation critic Harry Bains predicts heavy congestion at that crossing and in feeder routes in Surrey and

New Westminster as a result.

“That is going to be a huge concern,” Bains said. “The Pattullo is dangerous and over capacity.”

TransLink has also warned seismic and other safety risks could force the Pattullo to shut down before its 2020 target date for replacement.

Logan said he expects some drivers will shift to the Pattullo – at least initially.

“We’re expecting drivers are going to test out the alternatives that are available to them and make the choice of the one that makes most sense to them,” he said.

Logan said some drivers may have been avoiding the Port Mann and Highway 1 because of construction delays and will now come back to it.

“We expect the Port Mann will be the crossing of choice because it’s going to be just so much faster and more efficient than it is now.”

TransLink launches the Highway 1 RapidBus service over the Port Mann on Dec. 1. It will run between the Carvolth parkand-ride in northwest Langley and Braid Street SkyTrain station in New Westminster – every 10 minutes at peak times and every 30 off peak. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Staged discounts may win over bridge toll resistance Jeff Nagel Black Press

The first big test of whether drivers open their wallets and embrace the new Port Mann Bridge will come Dec. 10.

That Monday is the first business day with regular weekday volumes after the start of tolling on Dec. 8 when most commuters must decide if they will pay $1.50 to cross.

Even then, many drivers will effectively have free use of the bridge for a while.

Those who sign up with the TReO electronic tolling system by Nov. 30 get

a credit for 20 free crossings and won’t really be out of pocket until those are burned off or the credits expire on May 31.

More than 225,000

Dec.10 – First business day with tolls applied. Expect significant shift of commuter traffic to untolled crossings, such as the Pattullo Bridge.

Feb. 28 – Deadline to register and extend discount to December 2013.

March 1 – Full tolls of $3 per car kick in on for unregistered vehicles.

May 31 – Free 20 trip credit expires for early Treo registrants.

Dec. 1, 2013 – 50 % discount for registered users expires.

Late 2013 – All 10 bridge lanes open, including local traffic only lanes that directly connect Surrey to Coquitlam.

2014 – Final dismantling of old Port Mann Bridge.

That doesn’t mean that all those registered users will take the new Port Mann.

And toll opponents are organizing on

social media like Facebook and Twitter to urge drivers to boycott the bridge.

Port Mann Bridge Key Dates Nov. 17 – Westbound traffic shifts onto two lanes of new bridge while Cape Horn improvements continue.

Dec. 1 – New bridge officially opens with eight lanes. Opening ceremony planned. Highway widening and interchange improvements east of bridge largely complete.

RapidBus service begins from Carvolth park-and-ride in Langley to Braid Station in New Westminster.

Dec. 3 – First business day with new bridge open for free. Expect heavier Highway 1 volumes.

Dec. 8 – Tolls begin with 50 % discount – $1.50 per standard vehicle.

drivers have already registered on TReO and the province is well on its way to meeting its target of 300,000 to 400,000 registrants, or more than 80 per cent

Transit fares jump 10 per cent in January Jeff Nagel Black Press

Most transit fares in Metro Vancouver will rise at least 10 per cent in January as TransLink moves to wring more cash out of riders.

And monthly pass holders and West Coast Express users will pay 12.5 per cent more than they do now.

The fare increase will generate an estimated $32 million for the transportation authority and the impact depends on what type of ticket or pass is bought.

Cash fares will rise Jan. 1 from $2.50 to $2.75 to travel one zone, from $3.75 to $4 for two zones and from $5 to $5.50 for three zones.

The one-zone concession fare of $1.75 for seniors and students will be unchanged, but two-zone concession fares go from $2.50 to $2.75 and three zones rise 25 cents to $3.75.

Monthly passes jump to $91 (up from $81) for one zone, $124 (up from $110) for two zones and $170 (up from $151) for three zones.

Concession passes rise to $52 from $45.50.

A day pass will now cost $9.75 or

$7.50 for the concession rate.

HandyDart custom transit users will also see their fees go up.

TransLink has the legislated power to raise cash fares two per cent a year, which enables the 10 per cent increase because cash fares haven’t risen in the five years since 2008.

The prices of prepaid FareSaver tickets remain unchanged, as they were increased in 2010.

TransLink spokesman Drew Snider was unable to provide estimates of how much transit demand might be dampened by higher fares.

“We’re actually seeing transit demand grow substantially each year,” he said, adding it was a “difficult choice” to increase fares.

Fares generate one third of TransLink’s revenue, with most of the rest coming through property tax and fuel tax.

TransLink wanted to raise fares even higher – by about 12.5 per cent overall – but the portion of the proposed increase beyond the rate of inflation was rejected by TransLink Commissioner Martin

Transit users will soon be plugging more coins into ticket machines.

BLACK PRESS

Crilly last spring.

One zone rates apply on transit no matter how far a passenger travels after 6:30 p.m. and on weekends and holidays.

This may be the last year that conventional tickets and passes are issued.

TransLink will introduce its Compass smart card in late 2013, which is to become the new method of payment in the system.

Snider said the Compass card will mirror the existing fare structure when it rolls out,

adding there are no immediate plans for a restructuring that might eventually see TransLink eliminate its current zones in favour of more precise distancebased fares. newsroom@newwestnewsleader.com

Finding a good job a job in itself Over the next several years, the B.C. government predicts there will be one million job openings in the province.

One of them has your name on it.

According to allbusiness.com, an online resource for small businesses, job seekers have to be proactive, seeking out the job of their dreams rather than waiting for that job to find them.

Take an inventory of your interests, skills, accomplishments, goals and values. Recognize what makes you a unique candidate for a job. Target your search by matching those qualifications and skills with potential employers.

In fact, a recent survey of 1,500 recruiters and hiring managers by the online recruitment software company Bullhorn found that 30 per cent of them summarily dismissed applications from people whose qualifications didn’t match the requirements for a particular position.

Looking for a job requires networking, putting the word out about your job search to friends, colleagues, relatives. Join professional organizations.

Tap into the resources offered by an employment agency. Many jobs are never advertised.

Again Bullhorn’s survey of recruiters found many of them are impressed by referrals from friends or coworkers.

Many give the edge to candidates who will be a good fit into the culture of the workplace.

When contacting employers, be

Local resources Locally, there are a number of resources available to job seekers, from private employment agencies to government services to non-profit organizations.

• Training Innovations can help you find a job, a new direction for your career or new skills to improve your performance at your current job. They also work with employers to develop and train employees. For more information go to www.training-innovations.com.

• S.U.C.C.E.S.S. is one of the largest social service agencies in BC, providing a variety of services in health, housing, economic and social development as well as employment. For more information go to www.successbc.ca.

• Fraserside is a non-profit service organization that provides opportunities, counseling and support to individuals and families in New Westminster and Burnaby, as well as Delta, Surrey and the Tri-Cities. They have an extensive employment support program that can help with a job search, training support and work experience.

For more information go to www. fraserside.bc.ca.

• Pacific Community Resources offers a number of employment support programs for youth, immigrants and unemployed job seekers. For more information go to www.pcrs.ca.

concise and precise. Make it obvious you’re the best candidate for the job. Be enthusiastic but not needy. And don’t look down your nose at a temporary position; they provide an opportunity to evaluate an employer while earning a pay cheque as well as put you in a prime position should a job open up.

Of course, finding potential positions and sending in a resume is only the beginning of the hiring process.

The way candidates present themselves in the job interview leaves a lasting impression.

To ensure it’s a good one, arrive on time, be polite and look professional.

Be prepared. Do some research on your potential employer and work some of your findings into your answers.

Show that you’re up-to-date on the company’s current situation and be prepared to explain why you want to work for them.

During the interview make eye contact and speak confidently. Talk about your successes and what your actions achieved. Stay on topic. Don’t talk just for the sake of hearing your voice.

If the interview ends before you get a chance to make your full pitch, add those additional points in a follow-up letter or email.

As your job search continues, keep records.

Follow up, but don’t pester.

And, most importantly, don’t give up.

A million jobs is a lot of opportunity.

SPORTS Wakefield wins at Victoria cashspiel

A team from the Royal City Curling Club skipped

by Jay Wakefield won a cashspiel in Victoria last weekend.

Wakefield’s foursome defeated Neil Dangerfield of Victoria 9-2 in just five ends in the final of the Vancouver Island Shootout on Monday.

Wakefield’s team won all five of its games in the Shootout to pocket the $4,500 first-place prize. The squad that also consists of Michael Johnson, Paul Cseke and John Cullen has won $8,950 in the four events it has participated in.

New Westminster’s Brent Pierce is one of the tour’s top money winners with $21,400 from five events. This weekend he will be attempting to defend his title at the Wainwright Roaming Buffalo Classic in Alberta.

Sean Geall of Royal City has picked up $12,150 and will participate in this weekend’s $100,000 Masters of Curling event in Brantford, Ont.

Royals fifth The Douglas College Royals finished fifth at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association men’s soccer championships in Coquitlam last week.

New Westminster’s Dylan Myers scored a goal while midfielder Jordan Marini had a hat trick as Douglas defeated the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology Ooks 4-1 in the fifth place game Saturday.

On Friday, the Royals fell 3-2 to Élan de Garneau on penalty kicks. The Royals’ hopes for a national title were dashed Thursday when the Vancouver Island Mariners got a last minute goal to defeat the Royals 2-1 in the semifinals.

Hyack grad Casey Chin named GNAC all-star Ten Simon Fraser University players made the Great Northwest Athletic Conference football all-star teams.

They included junior linebacker Casey Chin, a graduate of the New Westminster Hyacks football program, who led the GNAC in tackles with 98 and forced fumbles with 11. Chin was named to the conference’s second all-star team.

Receiver Lemar Durant not only made the first team, but was also named GNAC newcomer of the year for leading the GNAC in receiving yards with 1,318, and in receiving touchdowns with 17.

Head coach Dave Johnson shared coach of the year honours with Blaine Bennett of Central Washington for leading the Clan to a 4-6 conference record and 5-6 overall.

Other first-team all-star berths went to SFU quarterback Trey Wheeler, tight end Jamal Kett and offensive lineman Matthias Goossen. Also making the second team were running back Bo Palmer, receiver Bobby Pospischil, defensive lineman Andrew Marshall, defensive back Derek Jones and punt returner Tore Corrado.

The team’s season came to an end Saturday with a 41-28 loss to the Azusa Pacific Cougars in California. Palmer had 159 rushing yards and three touchdowns while Wheeler connected on 25 of 44 passes for 289 yards, including a touchdown toss to Durant.

Clan advance The Clan men’s soccer team was to play Grand Canyon University Antelopes in Phoenix on

Thursday in the Sweet 16, the third round, of the NCAA Division II national tournament.

SFU was expecting to be the hosts for the third and fourth round in Hayward, Calif., but the NCAA switched it to Arizona on Monday, even though the Clan is ranked first in the region. The Clan hosted the first two rounds in Hayward after the NCAA ruled they couldn’t be held in Canada because it was concerned some players wouldn’t be able to cross the border.

If they win, the Clan will play their fourth round game as well in Phoenix.

Last Saturday, Simon Fraser became the first non-American team to win a game in the tournament by downing Cal-State Stanislaus 2-1 on second-half goals by Justin Wallace and Lucas Ferritto to overcome a 1-0 halftime deficit.

Big show down at Disney Erin Chambers of the Clan women’s hoopsters was named GNAC player of the week for scoring 51 points and bringing down 15 rebounds in three wins at the Disney Tip Off tournament in Anaheim, Calif., on the weekend.

SFU opened the tournament by downing Grand Canyon 69-60 Friday and then beat West Texas A&M Lady Buffs 74-59 on Saturday and eighth-ranked University of California-San Diego Tritons 61-58 Sunday.

Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe also had an impressive tournament scoring 50 points with 31 rebounds, including 22 points and nine rebounds against San Diego.

Guard Kia Van Laare of New Westminster scored 13 points in the three games in 34 minutes of play.

The Clan will play another two games against Div. II opponents at the Dixie State tournament in St. George, Utah this weekend.

UDI hands out Awards for Excellence

ParkLane honoured for River District The Urban Development Institute – Pacific Region hosted its biennial Awards for Excellence last month, which recognized amazing development projects from across British Columbia.

Among the winners was ParkLane Homes’ River District Centre, which won the Best Outside the Box award.

“Our goal with River District Centre was to take a unique approach to community building. We wanted this building to become a neighbourhood hub, and just a year after opening, we couldn’t be happier with the results we see today,” says ParkLane COO Ben Taddei. “Our team thanks

the Urban Development Institute and congratulates all the winners and nominees for their continued dedication to innovative and sustainable development in B.C.” Other winners at the awards included Bosa Properties and Adera.

“I think all the award winners and nominees can take great pride in what the development industry has accomplished these past two years,” says UDI President and CEO Anne McMullin. “The contribution from our industry sustains a healthy urban fabric and a strong B.C. economy.”

The full list of winners is available on www.udi.bc.ca.

A host of amazing details

Elegance can be found at Emaar’s Wills Creek

By Kerry Vital

Emaar Properties Canada is building on their reputation for amazing homes with Wills Creek, a townhome development in South Surrey’s rapidly growing community of Morgan Creek.

Emaar is known for building beautiful homes, and this project is no different.

“There is not a building out there that will beat our quality,” says sales manager Enrica Paris.

The spacious townhomes, ranging from 2,158 to 4,700 square feet, feature Craftsman-style architecture, with cedar-shingled roofs, coarse granite stone cladding and herringbone brick pavers on the patio and sidewalks.

Inside, the rich hardwood flooring throughout the main level is one of the first things you notice. The 10-foot vaulted ceilings in most plans are another feature that contribute to the spacious feel of your new home. Huge windows let the light in, while the oversized doors maximize the space.

The kitchens are elegant and efficient, with custom-designed Shaker-style cabinetry and a large island finished with a polished granite countertop.

That countertop is complemented by a handset textured natural stone backsplash and the under-cabinet and recessed lighting. Stainless-steel appliances are included, along with a stainless-steel canopy range hood from Broan.

Moving into the master suite, you feel like you’re entering your own personal oasis. The ensuite bathroom features an oversized soaker tub with a marble deck and a frameless glass walkin shower with a rain shower head. The handset imported glass tiles in the tub and shower surround are chic and lend a touch of class to the proceedings, while the heated tile floor is especially wonderful on cold mornings. The Shaker-style cabinetry continues in here, as well as in the main bathroom.

That bathroom also includes its own oversized soaker tub and handset imported porcelain tiles as the tub and shower surround.

“We have the lowest price per square foot in the area,” Paris says. “It’s great for everything that is included.”

Currently doing presales for its ninth phase, Wills Creek has been very popular with buyers of all types. Paris says most of the people interested in this latest phase is downsizers, but she has also seen first-time buyers coming

“

There is not a building out there that will beat our quality,” says sales manager Enrica Paris. through the show homes.

The location has been an important piece of the puzzle. Wills Creek is just moments from Morgan Crossing and Grandview Corners, which offer shopping, leisure and dining.

Morgan Creek golf course is also right around the corner. On the property, homeowners have access to a heated outdoor swimming pool, an outdoor hot tub and a 2,000-square-foot amenities centre, The Creek Club. It includes a fitness centre and a multipurpose room.

Buyers in this phase will be able to take possession in the summer of 2013.

Homes start at $539,900. For more information, visit www.willscreek.ca or call 604-542-8971.
