‘NEVER, EVER, EVER HAS ANYONE BEAT THE ODDS THE WAY SHE HAS’
Narrow vote stalls closure debate BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER
nhope@royalcityrecord.com
Enrolment at Hume Park Elementary plummeted this year, and parents from the school are blaming it on the fact that the board of education has targeted the school for closure two years in a row. The back-and-forth debate on whether to keep the small Sapperton-area school open is what prompted parent Sandi Pinkerton to pull her two sons out of Hume and enroll them at Richard McBride Elementary. Shrinking enrolment meant her sons would have been placed together in a Grade 12-3 split. She was concerned about the educational impact of the split. “It is an unacceptable solution,” Pinkerton said. Another blow to the school was the district’s decision to not offer a kindergarten class this year, Pinkerton said. (The district has said only two students registered for kindergarten at the school.) “Once they cut out the kindergarten class, they basically destroyed the school,” she said. Despite having to uproot her kids and her concern over Hume’s closure, Pinkerton ◗Hume Page 9

Happy reunion: H1N1 survivor Alexandra Kroetsch had an emotional reunion with the hospital staff at Royal Columbian Hospital’s intensive care unit, where she spent four months recovering from a near-death experience with the flu last year.
‘I remember bartering with God’ H1N1 survivor returns to RCH to thank staff for saving her life BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER
nhope@royalcityrecord.com
An H1N1 survivor had an emotional reunion in Royal Columbian’s intensive care unit Thursday with the staff who saved her life. Burnaby resident Alexandra Kroetsch and her family visited the hospital to say thank you to the doctors and nurses who cared for her as she clung to life for four months in intensive care. “It’s kind of weird, but I’m happy I was here. I’m thankful everyone was here to help me,” said the 28-year-old flu survivor. Kroetsch shared hugs and tears with the
team of hospital staff who gathered around their former patient. Nurse Yasmin Pickering was among those on hand for the reunion. “I looked after her lots and lots,” Pickering said. “I was here the day she arrived, and the day she left.” It’s remarkable that Kroetsch survived, she said. “Never, ever, ever has anybody beat the odds the way she has,” Pickering said. “She was truly born again.” It was a year ago this month that Kroetsch got sick. Initially, she thought she had a bad cold. A doctor at a walk-in clinic diagnosed her with pneumonia and prescribed antibiotics. But her conditioned worsened. Three days later, she was so sick that her boyfriend said she looked grey, and he called the ambulance. She was admitted to Burnaby Hospital, where the then 27-year-old was diagnosed
with H1N1. She was then taken to Royal Columbian. By that time, Kroetsch’s lungs were already so badly infected that she had to be placed in an induced coma and put on a life-support system. “I do remember lying there and begging for my life … bartering with God,” Kroetsch said about her month in a coma. A few weeks later, tests showed that despite antibiotics and intense respiratory therapy, her left lung and other vital organs were showing signs of potential failure. Surgeons were forced to remove her severely infected lung while she remained in intensive care, as she was too unstable to be moved to an operating room. “The doctor said if they didn’t take out my lung, I’d be dead,” Kroetsch said. ◗H1N1 Page 3

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Criticism part of politics ◗ continued from page 6
Oct. 23) and wanted to share my view of politics in our city. Before moving to B.C. 13 years ago, I lived in a much larger city where municipal elections there were much the same as here: heated, hotly contested and often rife with rumour and innuendo. The difference between where I grew up and New West? Slates were a reality, and no one questioned their existence or dubbed them as negative because they opposed those in power. It seems in New Westminster, we haven’t gotten quite used to an official slate, as your esteemed editor points out. Voice wasted no time in offering criticism of current council and school board and was almost instantly “tagged as a negative group.” I disagree, however, that Voice was given this moniker for “obvious reasons,” or at least not the reasons offered in the editorial. An opposition’s purpose is to highlight the shortcomings and failures of the ruling party/government, the outcome of which will hopefully lead to improved government policy. This is how an opposition adds constructively to the democratic process. The non-ruling party at the provincial and federal levels of government is known as the Official Opposition, and no one questions their purpose. New Westminster does have a silent slate, and, in response to this, Voice was formed. They launched an aggressive campaign against the then council and school board. That is their job, if you will. Should Voice ever form government here in New Westminster, I would expect and hope the silent labour slate would provide an official opposition. A slate or party has more resources than
an independent and allows for members with common concerns and ideas to come together in opposition against the government. How many elections of any level have you seen where the independents who failed to get elected continue their opposition of the government long after the polls have closed? It happens, I’m sure, but not very often. I think it is rather simplistic to condemn the opposition as negative, as you are ignoring the very fact that their job is to offer criticism. Subtlety is not the norm when you speak of opposition but rather the anomaly. Though it is difficult at times to separate the constructive criticism from the personal, it is necessary for us to see through the criticism and realize it is a necessity of the democratic process.

Kudos for Honour House
Dear Editor:
Thank you to Mayor Wright for spearheading the effort to locate Honour House in New Westminster, and immense gratitude to my friend Al de Genova for being the visionary behind the facility. I attended the first annual Honour House Gala (Oct. 28) with 800 other people, and I would consider this event as one of the greatest philanthropic nights in our city’s history. Thank you, Al, on behalf of everyone in New Westminster, for having the faith that our city would make a great home for injured military, police officers, firefighters and paramedics. They are every Canadian’s hero, but tonight you were theirs. One person really can make a difference. Gary Pooni, New Westminster

cial governments can only do so much to help or hinder the economy. For our first seven years in power, we were riding a worldwide crest of wealth, and we were mostly smart enough to not screw up a good thing. I am not surprised to be the focus of the animosity towards the government. This has been almost a one-man operation since we arrived in Victoria. The premier’s office is more
powerful than at any time in B.C. history. My recent shuffle of cabinet ministers serves mostly as a useful reminder of the top candidates to replace me. So today, I offer my head on a platter. I resign. Just let it just be said that I screwed up less than Clark and Vander Zalm. Matthew Claxton is a reporter with the Langley Advance, a sister paper of The Record.

Bringing smiles to children Operation Rainbow Canada provides cleft-lip and cleftpalate surgeries for kids in developing countries
BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com
Almost two years ago, John Buis was flipping the channels in his Delta home when he came across a Delta Cable story about a local doctor who was going to Asia and other developing countries to provide reconstructive cleft-lip and cleft-palate surgery for children. Buis didn’t know much about the surgery, but he sure knew who the doctor was. “When I was shot 30 years ago,” said Buis, now a staff sergeant major with the Burnaby RCMP, “that was the doctor that helped put me back together.” Dr. Kimit Rai is an internationally renowned plastic surgeon who started the non-profit medical group Operation Rainbow Canada and the man who Buis now considers a friend. “John saw the video clip, and it was great to hear from him,” said Rai from his New Westminster doctor’s office. “When he asked if he could help, I said we’re always looking for volunteers. ... Now John’s in charge of our administrative issues, and he’s been a great help with everything he does.” Buis, who calls Rai every couple of years to catch up, is better known as one of the top

Leah Yallop
Massage Therapy As a teen, Leah Yallop found her calling. After a skiing accident Leah underwent massage therapy, and it was then that she knew what she wanted to do as a career. “I liked the idea of helping people heal, and massage therapy interested me,” says Leah. After a few years of traveling, Leah went to the West Coast College of Massage Therapy. In 2008, she graduated from an intensive three-year program. For two years, Leah honed her skills at a couple of clinics. Then, the lifelong New Westminster resident decided to branch out on her own. While in school, she learned New Westminster didn’t allow for RMT’s to practice in their homes so Leah advocated for change. Because of Leah’s efforts, the city bylaw now allows for RMT’s to work out of their homes. Leah built a state-of-the-art clinic in a separate area of her home. “It’s completely self-contained and like a spa, it is warm, relaxing and inviting,” she says. Leah says having a clinic in her home allows for more flexibility for her and her clients. “I can accommodate my clients just about anytime, so if they need me at night or on the weekend, I will do my utmost to see them at their convenience,” says Leah. “I am all about personalized service.” Leah takes the time to explain her mode of treatment to each client prior to beginning each session and customizes treatments to promote healing and wellness. “It’s not enough to just treat the injury, my goal is to provide clients with pain management and relaxation strategies they can do at home as well,” says Leah. Whether it’s a sports injury, pregnancy discomfort or general aches and pains, Leah offers both deep tissue and relaxation massage. Her methods are working. Leah takes pride in the many referrals she receives, and credits the personalized service and versatility of treatments she offers for her thriving business. “I have a passion for what I do and I empathize with my patients,” says Leah. “It’s rewarding to see someone, who for example, suffers from daily headaches tell me later that they are pain free.” Meanwhile, Leah stays up to date with any new treatments. Later this year, Leah will offer hot stone massage and paraffin wax and exfoliation treatments. The clinic is located at 114 Glover Ave. For more information or to book your appointment, 604-374-0352 or visit www.leahyallopmassagetherapy.com.

With a commitment to excellence in customer service, Samantha and her staff of eight are seeing the branch grow every month. “I have a wonderful team of dedicated bankers,” says Samantha. “I see myself as a guide and coach, one who wants my staff to excel.” Prior to taking over the management of the new branch, Samantha was the manager of BMO’s Business Development Group Support – an exciting pilot project. “I managed a team of eight who processed all the mortgage specialist files in the province,” says Samantha.

HYACK
It is hard to believe that it has been over twenty years since I began selling real estate in the New Westminster area. I have had the opportunity to meet so many people that I may have otherwise never gotten to know. It has opened many doors for me; from helping out in the community with “Meals on Wheels”, to canvassing for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Cancer Society, to becoming involved with the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, and becoming a director for the Burnaby/ New West/ Tri-Cities real estate division. Jacki Thoreson, my multi-talented assistant continues to make my life and that of our clients, just a little bit easier. I receive compliments on a daily basis about her awesome abilities. I hope she will be with me for a very long time and continue with her own real estate goals. On a final note, I am pleased to inform you that my son Wesley Goss is now a realtor. I am really looking forward to working with him. For any of your real estate questions, please feel free to call me at 604-526-2888.

Arbo and Tomkinson are the dynamic duo behind Hyack Interactive, a boutique marketing consultancy devoted to providing writing, editing, social media coaching and strategic guidance to small businesses in and around New Westminster. "Hyack Interactive is the natural evolution of what we do on TenthToTheFraser.ca, which we like to describe as a 'passionately local' weblog about life in New West," says Tomkinson, who co-founded the blog in 2008. "I've always thought it was important to do what I could to support small businesses in the city. Through Tenth to the Fraser, we spread the word about local shops and restaurants through guest posts, Twitter and Facebook links, and low-cost ads. Through Hyack Interactive we can do even more to give a leg up to local businesses looking to maximize the cost savings and viral potential of the social web."

Through her work as the manager of the Royal City Farmers Market and contributions to Tenth to the Fraser, Arbo saw New Westminster businesses were keen to take advantage of digital marketing, but unsure where to begin or how to best reach their customers online. "Marketing is so crucial to small business success," says Arbo. "A large budget isn’t necessary. Hyack Interactive can help them find the best way to maximize the dollars they do have to encourage people to shop local, helping boost our city’s economy and promoting New West as a livable city." In addition to in-house expertise in copywriting, social media and digital marketing, Hyack Interactive also partners with a talented pool of New West freelancers to round out a list of services that includes photography, web development, graphic design, and human resources.

Lorrie Williams City Councillor Lorrie Williams is a popular three-term New Westminster city councillor. The longtime local resident cares deeply about her constituents and her city. To that end, Lorrie gets out in the community often to talk and listen to what the voters have to say. “The first time I ran (for office in 2002) I came six out of six, the second time I ran I topped the polls,” says Lorrie. “The key to success is attitude… if you just start and don’t wait until you have your ducks in a row - ducks just don't line up well - you will succeed with your goals.” Lorrie came to City Hall with a wealth of credentials and experience. Lorrie, who has her Bachelor’s of Arts degree from UBC and a Master’s in administration from Western Washington University, is a former vice principal and teacher of more than two decades in New Westminster as well as the past director of the Royal City Humane Society. However, this dynamic councillor is especially proud of her charitable organization, The Canadian Harambee Education Society, which she founded 25 years ago. She created it after teaching in Kenya, where she was headmistress of a school. “Just seeing these girls in Africa get some status and become confident, is a wonderful feeling,” says Lorrie. “We are telling a society that favours the male that women are worthy of being educated.” Lorrie is the winner of the Governor General’s Meritorious Service Medal 2005. She continues to be active in the community as the president of the New Westminster Symphony Society and secretary of New Westminster’s Kiwanis Club, among others.
Maria Green
Denture Clinic in New Westminster Maria Green comes with a wealth of experience as a registered denturist, as president of the Denturist Association of B.C. and as an executive on the Denturist Association of Canada. Her clinic has been a New Westminster favourite for full and partial dentures, dentures on implants, immediate dentures, precision dentures, denture repairs, denture relining and soft liners. Many people are under the impression that dentures have a 20-year life span - not so, says Maria. Dentures typically last five years. To prevent problems, Maria suggests you book a yearly consultation to have your dentures checked to make sure of optimum dental health. Signs to watch out for include: they are in your pocket, they are loose and not cutting food well, they are starting to make your face appear old and your mouth appears to be dropping, you are experiencing painful gums and sores. Maria will ensure that if your dentures need replacing that your new ones will conform to the changes that your face has gone through over time. Your best guarantee, besides regular checkups, is to avoid smoking, grinding your teeth, and ensure your general health and oral hygiene are good. The clinic is proud to have the distinction of being named The Record’s Readers’ Choice Awards recipient for seven years in a row. Maria credits that to consistently offering the best customer service and dentures available. The New Westminster Denture Clinic welcomes new patients and offers complimentary consultations. Maria and her staff look forward to your call or feel free to drop by to book your appointment. They are located uptown at 624 Sixth St., Suite 203, just across the street from the Legion and beside the Waffle House.

Ruby Campbell gets incredible satisfaction from her unique career. Ruby helps nonprofits operate more efficiently so they can devote their time and resources to focusing on their missions. “There’s a special feeling that I get from helping worthy charities get grants and sponsorships for their important causes,” says Ruby. Her distinctive career path was paved during her years volunteering for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Then, armed with a marketing diploma from BCIT, Ruby was approached by the MS Society to come on board as an employee. “I accepted because I found it extremely rewarding to be selling such a good cause,” she says. She stayed on with the society for three years, and then went on to a few other nonprofits, including a five-year stint at the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation. “After having my daughter I was looking for something that provided me some flexibility,” says Ruby. Thus, the Ruby Group Fundraising & Event Management was born. With more than 18 years of fundraising experience, Ruby came with a wealth of expertise. Whether it’s helping organizations plan corporate or individual giving campaigns, such as the Youth Centre @ Moody Park, organizing fundraising events, or writing grant proposals for The City of New Westminster, The Fraser River Discovery Centre or other notable clients , Ruby is a professional. “I like to help organizations become sustainable,” says Ruby, who is on a few boards, including the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce. When asked about a career highlight, she says one of her biggest accomplishments in terms of money, was being part of the project team that resulted in a $24 million infrastructure grant for New Westminster’s Westminster Pier Project. www.rubygroup.ca 604-759-9745

Arlynne Holowchak The Wine Factory
The award-winning Wine Factory has been serving New Westminster for 15 years. One of its shining stars is its retail sales associate, Arlynne Holowchak. Arlynne is a specialist in the art of wine making and she subcribes to the company motto that says: “To make affordable wines that our customers are proud to share with their family and friends!” To achieve this, the Wine Factory does a few things differently than its competitors. “For example, we have an in-house, five-stage water treatment facility to make sure that the water we use when we make wine is just that – water, no chlorine, no minerals, just water,” she says. The attention to production quality control and its process means Arlynne doesn’t have to use chemicals, a clear advantage. She also focuses on providing each customer with superior service. It helps when its state-of-the art bottling and corking equipment makes bottling wines at the store a breeze. Generally it takes customers less that 30 minutes to bottle, seal and label their wine for the journey home. In addition to offering a broad range of wines to suit the tastes of any consumer, Arlynne says the company offers a Barrel Aging Program. Since virtually all good wines require some aging and many of its clients live in condos and town homes they are hard pressed to find space to lay down wine for extended aging. The company, as is Arlynne, is committed to quality, service and customer satisfaction above anything else. She says that if, for any reason, a customer is unsatisfied with their wine, she will replace it, no questions asked. Arlynne tries hard to get to know her customers so she can assist them in making wine an affordable part of their lifestyles. She is humbled that many of its customers recommend the Wine Factory to their family and friends, but as they say, the proof is in the pudding. The Wine Factory is thrilled to be the perennial Winner of the Royal City Record Reader’s Choice Award. The company recently placed first in its category in the A-List competition and has won many medals and ribbons in both local and International Wine Tasting Competitions. The Wine Factory has also twice been selected Small Business of the Year in the Chamber of Commerce’s Celebration of Business Excellence awards program. Meanwhile, the Wine Factory has a strong presence in the community. Its owner, Harm Woldring, is a member of the New Westminster Rotary Club, the local Chamber of Commerce and The Hyack Festival Society. The company sponsors numerous community groups and associations through contributions to all sorts of fundraising campaigns and programs. The Wine Factory is located at 337 6th Street (Corner of 4th Ave.). to learn more about making quality and affordable wines, call 604-540-8907 or visit www.winefactory.ca.

Since starting her business, Roni-Lyn credits her team of 10 employees and hard-working volunteers. Her staff knows nearly all of their customers on a first-name basis.

With more than 500 items coming into the store every day, more often than not a friendly staff member will succeed in finding the item they are looking for. From furniture to clothing, to decorative pieces to funky nick knacks for your home décor, the stores a Mecca for shoppers looking to get more bang for their buck. “You can purchase a new pair of Italian shoes for around $15,” says Roni-Lynn. However, customer satisfaction is only one part of the equation – last year, her store raised $29,600 for the SPCA. Every penny raised stayed right here in the province to help animals in need. A strong believer in giving back to the community, Roni-Lyn and her staff are also involved in a number of local nonprofit initiatives. They raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society, the New Westminster Fire Department, as well as support silent auctions for a number of local schools.

Sandy Longridge
Assist-2-Sell • 604.540.SALE (7253) When it comes to buying and selling real estate, Sandy Longridge is a pro. After successfully flipping homes for five years and another five years selling real estate in New Westminster, this savvy entrepreneur/investor has the experience and extensive local knowledge to help others effectively buy or sell their homes. After two years with HomeLife Realty, Sandy decided to branch out on her own. Sandy heard about Assist-2-Sell Buyers and Sellers Option Realty, and started researching the full service discount real estate brokerage. “The agency has been in business since 1987, so I knew they had a great track record,” says Sandy. “I also really liked their business model.” Not deterred by the real estate slump of 2008, Sandy and her partner opened their doors that October. The firm offers the same type of service of a traditional real estate company but at substantially reduced commission rates. “We offer flat fees, which is a great alternative to high commissions, without sacrificing services,” says Sandy, adding she is on call 24/7 for her clientele. Over and over again, testimonials from satisfied customers offer glowing thanks for her business acumen, her dedication and her willingness to go above and beyond to help them buy or sell their home. Last year, Sandy was awarded the Medallion Club Award for being in the top 2 per cent of all real estate sales in Greater Vancouver area — quite a coup. “I love the real estate business and truly enjoy finding buyers homes they will love and save them money as well,” she says, adding on average she sells 10 homes a month. But the key is communicating. Listening at each step, and advising when appropriate, something Sandy is well known for. Sandy provides superior client care, communication and negotiation skills, and high impact marketing initiatives that deliver results. “I constantly keep my clients abreast of the marketplace and about what is selling and buying in their neighbourhood so they are informed throughout the process,” she adds. Her success also lies in the fact that Sandy prefers to build long lasting relationships with her clients rather than simply selling a home. If you are looking for a focused and committed real estate agent that will help you get the highest value for your home at the lowest commission fee, and do it in the shortest period of time, Sandy is your agent.

Thornebridge Gardens Retirement Community
For Debbie Clarke’s career, it takes more than just business savvy to be successful — it takes a lot of heart as well. Debbie is the marketing manager at Thornebridge Gardens Retirement Community, an independent retirement community. She feels privileged to be able to work with seniors and being able to help older adults experience a more vital and active life. “I also choose to look at individuals as if they were my own parent and provide the service and respect that I would like to see them receive,” Debbie adds. She honed her business skills working for more than 14 years as a program director for children and teens. Working closely with families made Debbie the perfect fit for Thornebridge’s retirees. Too often seniors are dismissed, and people seem to forget that their stories are part of the history, she says. Not at Thornebridge Gardens Retirement Community. Her mission, along with the rest of the staff, is to provide opportunities for residents to live as independently as possible, for as long as they are able, in an environment that provides the highest quality of healthy emotional, social and spiritual support. When asked what makes Thornebridge such a special place for its seniors, Debbie replied: “Wonderful location, exquisite building and grounds, personable and warm staff, and last but not least the reputation that we have with residents and their families for enhancing quality of life.” Debbie was involved prior to the independent retirement community opening its doors in 2007. She began in fall of 2005, during early construction of Thornebridge Gardens. Being part of the development from the start enabled her to get involved in ensuring it would a wonderful place for seniors. The purpose of why it exists, Debbie adds is “to enrich and make life better for those we serve.” That motto is embraced by all of the staff and shows in the lives of individuals living here who call this home. Everyday, Debbie and the rest of the staff commit to always giving their best in whatever they do by providing extraordinary service to each individual. “Personal choices, opportunities and respect are high on our list,” she says.

Mystery author shares tales at New West library BY DEBRA NELSON CONTRIBUTOR editorial@royalcityrecord.com
The game’s afoot at the New Westminster Public Library on Nov. 3 at 7 p.m. when local mystery author Elizabeth Elwood reads from her latest collection of mystery stories, The Beacon. Elizabeth’s stories have been described as “reminiscent of Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen,” “well-crafted” and having “smart plotting and a strong sense of place.” This third collection of stories starring
The Beary Family is again set in the Lower Mainland and features city councillor Bertram Beary, his opera-singer daughter, Philippa, and detective son Richard. The Bearys each in their way have a hand in solving mysteries, whether it’s the murder of the husband of an opera singer on the same day his mistress dies in a fiery inferno, or the mystery of elusive Boston teapots, or the puzzle of who killed Lucia in the opera The Bride of Lammermoor. Elizabeth Elwood is well-known in the Royal City. Every Christmas her Elwoodettes Marionettes put on a show,
and her plays have been performed to great acclaim at the Bernie Legge Theatre. Born in England, Elwood moved to Canada in 1957 and graduated from West Vancouver High School and from UBC with an English degree. She has worked as an English and drama teacher, sung in the Vancouver Opera chorus and performed roles with Lower Mainland musical and theatre groups. In 1992, with husband, Hugh, Elizabeth formed Elwoodettes Marionettes. Since then, she has created 20 marionette musicals. Elizabeth’s first play for live
actors, Casting for Murder, was produced by the Vagabond Players in 2000. It recently had a highly successful fifth production with the Scarborough Theatre Guild in Ontario and, in May, 2011, it will be performed in Nova Scotia. Elizabeth’s comedy, Renovations, premiered at the Bernie Legge Theatre in August 2004 and was also produced in Ontario this April 2010. Watch for her third play, Shadow of Murder, premiering at the Bernie Legge Theatre in June next year. Come hear a mystery and borrow Elizabeth’s books from the library.
Our Past marks a milestone 1,500 columns OUR PAST
ARCHIE & DALE MILLER
T
oday we will look at two items of history. The older item is Halloween and some fun things that brought back memories without some of the problems of recent years. The historically younger and much more personal item is this col-
umn, Our Past. According to our files, this Our Past column is issue number 1,500, dating back to the fall of 1981. Over those 30 years and 1,500 articles, this column has brought a wide variety of stories to its readers. We have worked hard to illustrate both large and small aspects of our history, to tell the tales that are not always told and to try to make certain that the story of our community is accurate and remains an active part of our overall heritage. With so many new readers discovering Our Past,
it might help to describe a few of the changes. Starting as Our Forgotten Past, we added The Heritage Around Us for a while and a year’s worth of Did You Know? items. There have been many photographs, published both with the columns and on their own, as well as several special issues and inserts. It continues to be great fun to prepare the articles, and we welcome your suggestions and comments as they play an integral part in the information that we are able to impart. As most of our read-

ers know, we operate A Sense of History Research Services, more simply known as A Sense of History, and it is through that business that we track down stories, find quirky items and identify the things that make history fun, using the tried and true methods of research and investigation. All that being said, it is still hard to believe that our stories have appeared in this paper 1,500 times and counting – it is truly astonishing. For those who want more of this kind of information or want to add
comments and questions to what we’ve written, you can find us on The Record website (www.royalcity record.com) as well as on Twitter and Facebook. Simple e-mails and letters are also always welcome. Thank you all for your interest and support through the years and 1,500 issues of Our Past. Now on to Halloween. We want to think of earlier, simpler times of fun and excitement.

Central in H.S. soccer driver’s seat BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
A pair of goals by Josh Hardy helped clinch first place in the district high school senior boys’ soccer league for the Burnaby Central Wildcats Wednesday. Hardy knocked in his own rebound in the opening half and then iced the match with a secondchance effort off a corner late in the game as Central blanked the Cariboo Hill Chargers 3-0 at Cariboo Oval. Amar Omerovic opened the scoring for the Wildcats with the gamewinner in the 20th minute, knocking home a centering pass from winger Anthony Cristante. Cristante assisted on all three goals for Central. The win improved Central’s season record to 7-0-1, while Cariboo settled for the runner-up spot at 6-1-1. “It was actually our best game,” said Central cocaptain Ivan Mrdjen after the match. “We’re really good. We’ll see how good we are but first we have to qualify (for the provincials), that’s what we’re focused on.” The Wildcats controlled play in the first half of the contest with excellent defending and one-touch passing. Charger goalkeeper Riley Wray had to be sharp to keep the scoreline close. He stopped numerous chances at goal, including fine saves off Lucas Sweda, Cristante and Omerovic later in the game. Cariboo didn’t fold however. Trailing 2-0 mid-

Fighting back: Cariboo Hill forward Denis Ananga makes a move on a Burnaby Central defender in BNW district high school boys’ soccer action at Cariboo Oval Wednesday. Central won the match for second place 3-0. way through the second half, Denis Ananga had his team’s best chance go wide of the post when Ryan Parmar intervened. Moments later David Genet put another ball wide of the mark. “That’s just the way it is,” said first year Cariboo coach Joe Resendes, a former goalie with the Canadian cerebral palsy
national soccer team in 2005. “One thing I try to teach these guys is regardless of what your problem is, you have to keep working. The kids are really buying in. Winning is a big thing. You win five (games) in a row and everyone enjoys it. It’s nice to see.” District playoffs get underway Monday after
school at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West. Cariboo will then take on the highest seeded winner at Cariboo Oval, while Central will face the lower seed at BLSC-W on Wednesday. The two winners will meet in the championship banner match on Friday, Nov. 5 at Burnaby LakeWest.
Getting to the provincials is Central’s goal said Mrdjen, who has three previous appearances at the B.C.s with Central, including as a Grade 8 bantam. “We play great as a team. We move the ball well, work the defence. We have speed in the midfield. We just need a little bit more finish,” Mrdjen added.

Premier Canadians nipped for top spot BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
The Burnaby Girls Canadians lost a tight 2-1 decision to Surrey United in a battle of unbeaten premier division women’s soccer teams at Burnaby North Turf Sunday. The second-year Canadians, 1-0 losers to Surrey United in the semifinals of the Provincial Cup last season, tied the score 1-1 on Kylla Sjoman’s second-half marker. However, mental errors in the final 20 minutes of play led to Surrey’s go-
ahead goal. Later in the half, Sjoman had a chance to tie the game again, but a great save by the Surrey keeper tipped the shot over the crossbar. Surrey and Burnaby both entered the match with identical 4-0-0 records and tied for first place in the Metro Women’s Soccer League. “Surrey’s long-ball game showed itself time and time again,” said Burnaby head coach Matt Holbrook. “Burnaby’s defenders were constantly dealing with pressure and counter attacks. Burnaby tried to
create fluid attacks, and at numerous times in the first half were clearly outplaying the seven-time provincial champions.” The Canadians will take the Halloween weekend off before hosting the third-place North Shore Renegades at Burnaby North on Nov. 7.

MUNRO, Roderick Alexander 1921 - 2010
Our family wishes to announce the passing of a loving husband, wonderful father, grandfather, uncle and friend to many. Rod died peacefully in RCH, October 21st, shortly after suffering a fall that resulted in a broken hip. He lived a very active and happy life of 89 years. Rod is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Joan, and his three children, Patricia (Peter), Marilyn (Chris) and Rory (Shaun) and his 7 grandchildren, Munro-Skye (Santi), Duncan, Gareth, Emily, Michael, Sebastian and Isabella and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Rod was born in Vancouver, was a WW2 Veteran and had a successful career as a sales agent for the railways (CN, GN and BN) and that job took the family to Nelson, BC where they lived for 10 happy years and were actively involved in the community. Rod was a cheerful, optimistic and supportive person who always saw the glass “half-full”. He loved tennis, camping, wood-working, music, travelling to Europe and to Maui in the winter and in his retired years became a breadmaker and amateur vintner, giving Joan pleasure for many years. He was proud of his Scottish/English heritage and kept in touch with relatives overseas. He also spent many happy times at Point Roberts with his brother Bill and sister-in-law Marie, and his brother-in-law Ken Clarke and their families. All have endless happy memories of Rod and we will miss him very much. No service by request. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the United Way.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Romance, charming kids, beauty, pleasure, a gambling mood, creative urges – these flow through your days this week. Friday/Saturday could start a love affair. Indulge yourself. A chore grows larger now through early December – that’s OK, it carries strong career vibes. This is an excellent time to seek employment or purchase machinery. Something or someone will return soon on the domestic, home front – a wandering parent, child, or a real estate opportunity. It’s lucky, affectionate. (Hints Wednesday/Thursday, the “reality” next week onward.) “Home” can help a romance. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: You’ll attract attention Sunday, but you’re unsure of the “giver.” Chase money Monday/Tuesday (careful with spending Tuesday eve/night). Communications, paperwork, details, errands fill Wednesday/Thursday. You could casually meet someone sexy, or your curiosity could lead to a lucky financial revelation, investment. The financial is probably better than the sexy. (The sexy might have a short life span.) All week, especially Friday/Saturday, your home, security, children, real estate and related matters are important – you can make major strides, lucky changes, realty investments. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: This week and the next two emphasize errands, travel, communications, emails, details, casual friends, light romance. But a deeper trend, to early December, might spark friction at home, or you might grow fascinated by the urge to purchase real estate, mostly as an investment; you might begin or end a lust-based link. The pot of your security is being stirred, and you might be surprised by the stew that results by December. So be cautious, honest; proceed, but thoughtfully. You and your skills shine Monday/Tuesday – start things, get your way. Money luck Thursday! Travel Saturday.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Deception (selfdeception?) or indecision invade your creative and romantic spheres Sunday – find certainty, comfort in work Monday/Tuesday. (Careful with tools, electricity Tuesday eve.) Relationships receive a lucky boost Wednesday/Thursday. Sexual drive propels an attraction; research tidbits, hunches or money intuition propel a business proposition. But you could worry about these very things Friday. Don’t – they’ll “help” you again Saturday. All week, don’t suspect friends. Dig deep, seek golden keys, embrace a solid, planned future. Sex is loaded with pregnant possibilities. Taurus April 20-May 20: Rest Sunday, be in nature (golf, etc.) or putter around the house. Suddenly, this night, beauty steals over things. Romance, creativity, pleasure, a winning streak enter Monday/Tuesday – this, and a strong relationship theme, and a potent sexual urge, combine to create obvious possibilities! (Don’t leave it until Tuesday p.m., though, as sudden attractions/sudden splits occur.) Tackle chores Wednesday/Thursday. A powerful relationship or relocation theme enters again Friday/Saturday. Yes, a thread of worry or indecision winds through this, but the general prospect is very favourable! Gemini May 21-June 20: You face several weeks of work and health concerns. Well, plunge in, as nothing else will succeed very much anyway. A minor, sixweek trend has just started, intensifying relationships. This will bring either anger and argument, or a new friend, perhaps lively love prospects. To some degree this depends on you and your attitude; but fate has a wee hand here, too: any new relationship (or fight) might be intended to “blow out” old attitudes and lingering links. Happiness isn’t easy – though it will be in 2011. Rest early week, seek beauty midweek. Tackle work Friday/Saturday.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: November emphasizes money, buying/selling, earnings, possessions, memory and sensual or casual intimacy (especially Friday/Saturday: avoid illusion, welcome high-tech). Sunday’s friendly – but don’t presume an attractive person reciprocates. Retreat, rest, this eve through Tuesday – all’s well, though you might be frustrated by a last-minute glitch or chore Tuesday p.m. Your energy, charisma and effectiveness rise Wednesday/ Thursday – start things, seek attention, woo someone (in love or business) especially Thursday daytime! All month, you might meet a mate while travelling, talking. Scorpio Oct.23-Nov.21:Your status,prestige,career prospects are in question Sunday, and considering everything, the answer should be good! Your hopes, popularity and happiness rise Monday/Tuesday. But that one you’re looking at Tuesday eve won’t be a good “home mate.” (Of course, if it’s your spouse, I’ll shut up.) Retreat, rest, contemplate and plan mid-week. You could make a very lucky contact, application or agreement Thursday, involving a government agency, institution or large company. (At the very least, lucky plans form.) Your energy and charisma soar Friday/ Saturday: start something major! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Remain low-profile. Rest, contemplate, plan, deal with government agencies, large corporations and institutions. Study your life, and decide on big steps to change it where it needs changing. Remember, the decade ahead is your opportunity to erect an “earnings castle.” That means build now for higher earnings: train, choose a field, etc. All week, meditate, connect with spiritual realms, be charitable. Your career, ambitions are prominent Monday/Tuesday. The future you spy/chase/plan for Thursday is a lucky, gratifying one! Delve into that retire, contemplate and plan stuff Friday/Saturday.

Oct. 31 - Nov. 6 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: New hopes and goals will slowly roll toward you for more than a decade ahead. One is forming this November. (It might have started in October; if so, it will “flesh out” now.) This new goal comes from deep within, emerges from a) your subconscious, or b) events that don’t seem logical on the surface. Your home becomes an “active retreat” until early December. Make new friends now, join organizations. (Try “meetup.com.”) Sunday’s for secrets. Wisdom, gentle love come Monday/Tuesday. Midweek, ambition has lucky results! Seek friends, fun, flirtation Friday/Saturday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Be ambitious. Your place in the world has an almost imperceptible but fortunate upward lift now (and will into January). Relations with bosses, VIPs and parents are fruitful – show respect, hold up your end, put forth plans, proposals, insights – show off your skills. If you’re a civil servant, make your push/bid Wednesday; if an intellectual worker, Thursday; otherwise, push (or begin a project) Friday/ Saturday. Relationships Sunday: you puzzle someone. Mysteries, lust, research, finances Monday/Tuesday. Gentle love, understanding come Wednesday and sweetly, luckily Thursday! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Gentle love, compassion, a broader understanding and a mellow mood flow through November. You might fall in love Friday/ Saturday, when these mellow qualities are emphasized. Write, broadcast. Tackle chores Sunday. Relationships flower Monday/Tuesday – though they could be a little abrupt, unpredictable Tuesday p.m. Mysteries arrive Wednesday/Thursday: great opportunity lies here, in intimacy, financial spheres, and “detective work.” Thursday’s investment or “life change” could pay off splendidly over time! Bosses, parents are touchy, impatient all November, so be diplomatic. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
