Cemetery changes planned BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Enhancements to Fraser Cemetery will be considered as part of the 2011 to 2015 capital budget process. A Fraser Cemetery master plan that was conducted in 2002 examined the need for a range of options for addressing the need for expansion of cemetery services and the demand for a range of affordable memorialization options. Phase 1, done in 2006, saw the addition of a columbarium that consists of 503 single niches and 36 double niches, an ossuary (a communal tank for ashes) and a water feature. Phase 1 cost $955,000, but the city estimates that when interment rights for all the niches in the columbarium

and ossuarium are sold, it will generate net revenue of about $758,000. A staff report states that cremation is the growing trend for the disposition of human remains because of the scarcity of land at cemeteries, economics and environmental concerns. The report notes that awareness and sales of the columbarium has grown during the past few years and it’s projected the columbarium will be sold out within the next four years. The city recently introduced conceptual design to the public to get feedback from residents about two areas of the cemetery that are targeted for development: ◗ A small columbarium with an overhead structure, a water feature, benches and planters is proposed as

a Heritage Plaza near the centre of the east side of the cemetery, where the old washroom building used to be located. This proposal is estimated to cost $359,000 to build and to generate revenues of $668,646 through sales of niches in the columbarium. ◗ An additional columbarium is proposed to replace an existing rock garden, in an area just north of Phase 1 of the columbarium. Called Richmond II, this project would cost $905,000 to build and would generate nearly $1.6 million through the sale of columbarium niches. New Westminster city council referred the Fraser Cemetery enhancement project to its capital budget process. www.twitter.com/TheresaMcManus

to the report Wait Times Tables – A Comparison by Province, 2010 by the Canadian Institute for Health Information. That report echoed the 2009 Wait Times Alliance report, in which only B.C. and Ontario received an A in every category – radiology, hip, knees, cardiac and sight – when it came

OUR VIEW

TransLink seems oblivious to these realities. The funding of transportation should be reconnected to the use of transportation, through some combination of gas tax, a vehicle levy and, yes, the tolling of some routes. Pillaging municipal budgets is not only unfair, it’s just not sustainable. More importantly, though, the province needs to clean up its mess and reconnect the people who make the plans with the people who are going to

pay for them. This means doing away with the TransLink cabal, who effectively hold the region’s mayors for ransom by producing a fait accompli plan and only giving them an up-or-down vote. The taxpayers’ interests should be in the minds of planners at every stage, not just at the very end. The unelected board can’t keep trying to shift the funding responsibilities over to municipalities – it just doesn’t work.

Conflict policy overdue Dear Editor:

Re: Trustee raises conflict question, The Record, Nov. 13. It’s fascinating to watch the Herculean effort being made by trustees Michael Ewen, Lori Watt and James Janzen to stonewall the development of a conflict of interest policy for the New Westminster school board. If they’d put that much effort into getting a new high school built, we would have had one built years ago. I strongly suspect I’m not the only person who finds it shockingly negligent that a conflict of interest policy does not already exist for New Westminster school trustees. Conflict of interest is an easily understood concept and one with a long history in the common law, not to mention the

School Act. Moreover, the New Westminster school board passed a motion nearly a year ago to develop such a policy. So where is it? The motion didn’t call for anyone to reinvent the wheel or come up with a clever solution to a complex issue like climate change. The motion simply called for a conflict of interest policy; a basic, common sense, garden variety conflict of interest policy that would ensure the integrity of public processes and place them above reproach. Nevertheless, efforts to facilitate discussion of the conflict of interest question were voted down at the Nov. 9 school board meeting, notably by the same trustees whose potential conflicts are under question. Why? And what agenda is being served by inhibiting the implementation of a policy that

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Conflict concept is simple ◗ continued from page 6

unequivocally spells out what constitutes a conflict of interest for trustees? Section 56 of the School Act, which addresses conflict of interest for school trustees, states clearly that “a trustee has an indirect pecuniary interest in any matter in which the board is concerned if … the trustee … is in the employment of a person or firm that has a pecuniary interest in the matter.” If Watt is not absenting herself from discussions involving CUPE, it represents a flagrant conflict of interest on her part. However, it would not be the first time she has failed to recognize the most basic elements of conflict of interest: Watt has also been attempting to further a major national policy objective of CUPE by seeking to ban bottled water (as opposed to all bottled beverages) in the district. Conflict of interest is not a complicated concept. And for school trustees, it’s spelled out very clearly in the School Act. So I’m left wondering what part of conflict of interest do some people not seem to get? Patrick O’Connor, New Westminster

Op-ed misses the point

Dear Editor:

Your dreadful and misleading op-ed

(Don’t confuse criticism with anti-Semitism, The Record, Nov. 13) draped in the flag of free speech, missed the point of the Ottawa Protocol entirely and, in the process, gave licence to anti-Semitic rhetoric. It is a sloppy rant that insults world leaders combating rising global anti-Semitism. The whole premise of the article is bogus, i.e. that Stephen Harper is confusing antiSemitism with legitimate political debate. Absurd. Readers should know that the exact purpose of the internationally authored Ottawa Protocol is to clearly delineate abhorrent hate-speech from appropriate criticism. Canada’s support of the document is to be applauded, not ridiculed. Anti-Semitism is a uniquely insidious and dangerous form of prejudice. Your paper glaringly omitted this point and instead cast a cloud of suspicion around those taking a stand against an ancient evil. Curiously, to support your paper’s untenable position, you resort to the standard device typical of anti-Semitic rhetoric: the conspiracy theory. You paint a sinister picture of “bizarre hype” emanating from a secretive “ad hoc group of MPs” floating “questionable” statements. You even suggest there is a secret agenda to control the media. And we all know who is out to control the media, right? David H. Brett, New Westminster

Watchdog: Disabled adults need one ◗ continued from page 6

them and makes it impossible for them to continue to live in the group home. This is incredibly shortsighted, given that adults with development disabilities require stability in their lives and a traumatic move may result in negative consequences. Families have told me they have not been consulted and that now, after an inadequate needs assessment, their loved ones have no choice but to leave group homes against their will. Families point out that residents of group homes have the benefit of support workers and the companionship of other residents. Moving into individual living arrangements could mean isolation and reduced services. New Westminster resident Andrew Latta worries that his 48-year-old sister Susan, who has Down syndrome and other challenges, will be forced to leave her home of 20 years.

“She’s very, very happy, very well served and she wouldn’t be doing as well as she would without the services and supports she’s getting,” he told the Coquitlam NOW newspaper. “What the government is about to do is kick her out of her home, take away all those services, and it’s going to be devastating to her life.” Mary Jo and Peter Dawe of New Westminster have the same concerns about Michael, who has lived in the same group home for 14 years, since the age of 18. The three residents are like family, they say. I wonder what happens to the people with developmental disabilities who don’t have someone to speak up for them. Will they be shuffled into a setting where they may spend their time alone without staff members trained to help them live a full and happy life? I agree with Alanna Hendren, executive director of the Developmental

Disabilities Association, that it is time this province has an independent watchdog with a mandate to look out for disabled adults in the same way that Children’s Representative Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond protects the interests of children. I fear that despite caring staff who want only the best for their residents, some men and women with developmental disabilities are going to fall through the cracks. An advocate could bring these cases to the public’s attention. In an effort to save $22 million, the Liberal government is hurting disabled residents in our community and throughout the province. As a society, we will be judged on how we care for our most vulnerable residents. This is a time to speak out for those who cannot easily speak for themselves. Dawn Black is the MLA for New Westminster.

New building proposed

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A four-storey apartment building is being proposed for a Sapperton neighbourhood near East Columbia Street. The city has received an application to build a fourstorey apartment building with 25 two-bedroom units at 309, 311 and 315 Ward St. The site is currently occupied by three houses. The city’s design panel reviewed two proposals for the site – one with a flat roof and one with a sloping roof.

A staff report noted that the neighbourhood has indicated a desire to see a more “village” type of approach to architecture of this project, which would indicate a sloped roof building. The city’s design panel, however, supported a flat-roof approach for the site development. Jim Hurst, a development planner with the city, said the design panel was concerned that neighbours’ views would be impacted and shading from the sun would be a concern if the building had a sloped roof. While some people

feel that buildings should have more of a village type feeling, such as that being proposed at the Brewery District at the former Labatt’s site, Hurst said that’s not going to happen overnight. “The buildings around there are going to be around for another 30, 40 or 50 years,” he said about the Ward Street site. “I don’t think a lot of the buildings are going to change very quickly.” A public hearing on the issue is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 22 in council chambers.

with each person getting a mat, pillow and blanket, but it’s a welcome respite from the biting cold outside. Finding beds for all the city’s homeless is always a challenge. While the Salvation Army caters mostly to men – women are also welcome – women also have the Elizabeth Fry shelter in Sapperton and children younger than 19 have the Purpose Society in downtown New Westminster as a refuge, according to Macpherson. “We don’t turn people away,” said Macpherson. “If we don’t have room or you’re younger than 19, we do try and find an appropriate place for them to stay.” With this weekend’s

The $4,000-plus donation comes from the pub donating half of their Thursday sales to prostate cancer research. In addition, the pub gave away a humidor and five cigars, which tied in with the Mo theme. As for Saran, his homegrown ‘stache is so poor that his staff have a variety of fake moustaches for him to try on a daily basis. “They’ve had me go with the full ‘trucker’ look, and I look pretty silly,” said Saran. “When my wife looks at what’s on my face, she wants to throw me out of the house. … It’s all for a good cause, and we raised a lot of money for prostate cancer.” Rivers Reach is located at 320 Sixth St. follow us on

forecast of snow and cold temperatures – including a forecast for a prolonged stretch of below freezing temperatures next week – Macpherson said he expects to be as busy as in 2008. “We were open for 50plus days that year, and if the weather forecast for this year is true, we may be up to those numbers this year,” said Macpherson. People who use the shelter get a meal each night, along with a small breakfast in the morning. This year, Macpherson and the Salvation Army have partnered with the River’s Reach Pub, located across the street, to provide

the shelter with food left over from the day’s business. “The staff at (River’s) Reach are very good at helping out, and they’re very supportive of everything we do,” said Macpherson. “Last year, we did a penny drive for the Salvation Army, and that raised more than $6,000,” said River’s Reach day manager Peter Saran. “This year, we wanted to do something different, and donating our leftover food was one way to help. “We’re also going to be doing something in the next couple of weeks where we donate two big turkeys, a big box of mashed pota-

toes and other food for the Salvation Army. … They’re our neighbour so we want to try and help them wherever we can.” That help is music to the ears of Macpherson, who also makes sure that people who need winter gear, such as dry socks, toques, coats and mittens, get them. “We’re always looking for donations of those items,” said Macpherson. “There are always people who need them.” Extreme weather beds are different from emergency shelters, which provide homeless people with shelter, food and support services, and operate all year.

Motorcyclist hurt in Royal Avenue crash A 62-year-old Royal City resident suffered a broken left leg after being hit by a car on Royal Avenue on the afternoon of Oct. 13. The accident occurred just before 1 p.m. and began when New Westminster Police Service vehicles were responding to a call in the 700 block of Princess Street. “As patrol officers travelled north on Sixth Street, they stopped before entering the Royal Avenue intersection,” said New Westminster police Sgt.

However, the vehicle approaching from behind did not. The vehicle struck the motorcycle from the rear, causing the motorbike and rider to impact the roadway.” The 62-year-old motorcyclist sustained a fracture to the lower left leg and was transported to Royal Columbian Hospital. www.twitter.com/AlfieLau

If you wanted to fish every day of your retirement, you’d naturally like some fish left, right? Clean coastal water is important, and so is return on investment. That’s why Vancity helped finance the profitable Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation’s Canoe Creek Hydro plant, built to exacting environmental standards to reflect the First Nation’s stewardship of the land. With annual revenues of $1.6 million, it appears what’s good for business is also promising for our future fish stocks.

THE RECORD

Seniors help make beautiful music BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Making music – and musical instruments – has proven to be a rewarding experience for some of the folks at Queen’s Park Care Centre. Each Friday, a group of the residents meets in the centre’s music therapy room to make musical instruments from kits ordered from Minnesota. The group will be selling some of the instruments they’ve made, as well as some music boxes, at its annual sale on Nov. 25 and 26 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the lobby of Queen’s Park Care Centre.

“We have a banjo, a beautiful oval harp. We have several wood ukuleles and several cigar box ukuleles – it is an old-fashioned kind of thing,” said Jeremie Tucker, music therapist. “We have some beautiful lap harps.” The sale will also feature some strumblies, which is like a guitar – only lighter and easier to play. “You hold them like a guitar. They are little and sleek,” Tucker said. “We have a 77-string hammered dulcimer. It has 77 stings – you play it with these little hammers. We have a couple of traditional dulcimers.” Copper wind chimes and music boxes

will also be available at the sale. Items will range between $5 (music boxes) to $200. One instrument sold for $350 at last year’s sale. The 2009 sale raised $1,300, which gets reinvested in the program. “It goes for more kits,” Tucker said. “They love doing this. It gives them a sense of accomplishment. There is a community feeling around the table.” Tucker compared the musical instrument-making sessions to quilt-making groups of the past. “I think it is the only one in Canada,” she added. “I am pretty sure this is unique.” The group, which consists of people

into their 90s, enjoy their musical instrument making meetings so much that they often don’t want to leave. Six to eight people usually participate, and a handful of others often watch. The musical instrument making meetings start and end with singing – and participants make some beautiful instruments in between. The music therapy department offers music on all three floors of Queen’s Park Care Centre, including its extended care, hospice and adult day units. Queen’s Park Care Centre is located at 315 McBride Blvd. People attending the sale are reminded that the parking lot has pay parking.

Explore what happens beneath river’s surface AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

f you want to check out something lurking just below the surface of the Fraser River, today’s the day to be at Fraser River Discovery Centre. The centre is giving families a chance to get to know the mysterious white sturgeon during the Living Dinosaurs: Shadows of the Fraser program that’s taking place Saturday, Nov. 20 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Fraser River Discovery Centre. According to Fraser River Discovery Centre, sturgeon have been around since the time of the dinosaurs, can live to be over 150 years old and can reach lengths of more than six metres. “The sturgeon look a bit like a shark, but has no teeth,” said Shannon King, the centre’s education coordinator. “It comes with its own set of armour for protection from predators. It has whisker-like barbels that help it find its food in the silty waters of the Fraser River. It is extremely well adapted to life in the Fraser River. It is a giant fish that has survived for millions of years, but now it is an endangered species.” In 1993, approximately 34 large adult sturgeon washed up on the shores of the Fraser River near New Westminster, and no one could identify why they died. The following year, First Nations people, conservationists and the government came together to ban sturgeon fishing for harvest. Today, the sturgeon is a catch and release fishery. A strong conservation program is in place to monitor the health of the population and educate the public about the fish. During the Living Dinosaurs family program, visitors to the Discovery Centre can get eye-to-eye with a threemetre-long sturgeon model, check out real specimens of the eggs, larva and fry, and play a sturgeon survival game to

see who will be the ultimate survivor. There will be storytime, a puppet show and crafts for younger children, and a presentation and conservation lab for those keen to know more about sturgeon conservation efforts. Fraser River Discovery Centre is located at 788 Quayside Dr. and is open Wednesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is by donation for the exhibit galleries.

Poinsettia sale

The Maple Leaf chapter of the Eastern Star is selling poinsettias to raise funds for a project to assist children dealing with cancer. Royal City resident Lynn Radbourne, a member of the Royal City and Maple Leaf chapters of the Eastern Star, said the funds raised through this year’s sale will go toward the creation of a website to assist children and pre-teens who are dealing with cancer in their family. The website is for children five to 12 years of age. “It’s children that are either suffering from cancer themselves or have a family member. Kids sometimes don’t want to speak their true feelings,” she said. “The website is called Cancer in My Family. It answers questions, it lets kids vent. They can hook up with other kids.” While the Royal City chapter is hosting a luncheon to raise funds for Eastern Star cancer projects, the Maple Leaf chapter is selling poinsettias. Eastern Star chapters raise funds for projects such as dressings for cancer patients and cancer research. Prepaid orders are due by Nov. 22 and will be available for pickup on Dec. 4 and 5. “These are beautiful, healthy plants and would be a joy to give or have in your own home,” said Lynn in an e-mail. The poinsettias are: $4 for a four-inch red, white or crinkly red poinsettia; $11 for a six-inch red, white, pink, marble or burgundy poinsettia; and $23.50 for a 10-inch red, white, pink or marble poinsettia. To place an order or get more information, call Radbourne at 604-5245675.

Getting arty

The Royal City Gogos are getting set to host a textile art show at the River Market at Westminster Quay. The group supports the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign, whose goal is to ease the pain of HIV/AIDS in Africa, and raise awareness about the plight of African grandmothers who are raising their grandchildren after losing their own children to AIDS. Thousands of Canadian women are now involved in the groups, many of which are called Gogos after the Zulu word meaning grandmother. “This is a moving and memorable exhibit of 53 works of art that is on tour throughout western Canada,” said an e-mail from the Janine Reid, coordinator of the Royal City Gogos. “The work will be auctioned in Victoria in March 2011. This is your chance to see this work in our area. Come on down to the new Quay in New Westminster, see the show, shop for fabulous hand made gifts and support African children and the grandmothers who care for them through the Stephen Lewis Foundation.” The exhibit will be at the River Market at the Quay from Dec. 2 to 5 from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. People can get a sneak peek at the art work at http://glaciergrannies. org/textile-art/gallery.

Fraser River story worth hearing and seeing OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

he story of the Fraser River is one that draws our attention whether we are reading about its history, looking out over it from some vantage point, or standing a few metres from its silt coloured waters. Being close to the river, it is easy to imagine those

who have marvelled at and feared its strength: First Nations, explorers, prospectors, travellers, homesteaders, tourists and local residents. At its mouth, the river flows peacefully along to join the waters of the Gulf of Georgia, the river’s plume of light brown sediment often showing its effect across the open water seemingly all the way to the Gulf Islands. At its start near Mt. Robson, the Fraser is a clear babbling stream, then picks up momentum and runs 1,375 kilometres to the coast, at times in a broad calm expanse, at

times through a frighteningly narrow channel. There are many places along its route where the Fraser roars and crashes as it forces its way through gorges of rock or eroded hillside. The central part of the Fraser Canyon, for many people this is the river at its best – dangerously violent, but captivatingly picturesque – blending awe-inspiring sights with deafening sounds. Rafting down the Fraser and through Hell’s Gate means seeing many faces of the river ranging from relatively placid, albeit fast moving, to overwhelmingly tumul-

tuous and frightening. The feeling of exhilaration when you are safely through this part of the canyon is amazing in its own right. While in the canyon, you can look up to hillsides and canyon walls and imagine the people of the First Nations, explorers and gold seekers as they moved along trails and almost non-existent pathways. The river canyons, by water or by foot, offer great historical inspiration and a feast for the imagination. Photographs of this waterway include many different scenes, qualities,

and colours, as there are so many factors that play upon the camera. Old black-and-white photos of the river allow us to see the simple river features, as well as other details of the scene at the moment the shutter opened. Colour photos add reflections of the sky in the water, the darkness of the forests, the flatness of the rocks and hillsides – all mixed together. But always, the river dominates and can change colour from one instant to the next. The Fraser River has a great story that demands

Monarch seeks donations Transition house gathering gifts BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A local transition house for women and children fleeing violence welcomes donations for its annual Christmas celebration. Monarch Place is holding its annual Christmas reunion celebration. The event will be attended by those who have stayed at Monarch Place. This year’s celebration will take place on Saturday, Dec. 4. “We usually look for

donations from the community to give the women and children gift bags,” said Roshni Vedmanikam, Christmas project coordinator at Monarch Place. “We usually get about 90 to 100 women and a little over 100 kids.” With about 250 people anticipated to attend the event, Monarch Place would appreciate donations of new items that could be included in gift bags put together for each guest. The bags can include items such as toys, chocolates, stationery supplies, packets of coffee, teas and hot chocolate, socks and slip-

pers, gloves, hats, scarves, girt certificates, bus tickets, small decorating items such as candles or picture frames, games, perfumes, soaps, children’s books, makeup and nail polish, and pajamas for women and children. Items are needed by Nov. 26. Anyone wishing to donate items had been dropped off Monday to Friday at the Canadian Autoworkers Hall at 326 12th St. For more information or to volunteer to help sort through the items and pack the bags, call Roshni at 604521-1888.

ADOPTING IN NOVEMBER Autumn is indeed a ‘purrfect’ time to check out the local shelters for a new companion at Royal City Humane Society (www.rchs.bc.ca; Facebook Royal City Humane) or the New Westminster Animal Shelter (www. newwestcity.ca/residents/residents_ services/animal_services). Adopting in November means longer evenings and more time to enjoy giving tummy rubs. It also means the pet will have time to settle in before the annual winter parties and

celebrations begin. Should you do a lot of entertaining, ensure that your pet has a quiet place to retreat. They may not appreciate all your friends as much as you do. A special reminder: In their search to keep warm outdoors, small animals, such as cats, often take refuge next to a warm car engine or tire. Always slap or bang your hood before you start your car.

VARIETY SHOW & FUNDRAISER

It was a dark and rainy September night…..but we raised $5000. RCHS wants to thank everyone who attended our annual event. Our gratitude is especially extended to Lorrie Williams, master of ceremonies Gordon Hobbis, our terrific volunteers, the wonderful sponsors who donated auction items, the outstanding acts who entertained us and you, the animal lovers, who support us. DONATIONS MAKE THE WORK WE DO POSSIBLE.

Please remember us this holiday season and throughout the year. We would like to express a special thank you to those caring people who have included us in their charity cheques and wills this year. You help to make the low cost spay/neuter, TNR (Trap Neuter Release), feeding stations and shelter programs possible. Thanks to your generous support, there is NO excuse not to have pets spayed or neutered.

SANTA PICTURES WITH YOUR PET

Saturday, December 4 & Sunday, December 5 from 11 am to 4 pm each day. VANPET will be hosting RCHS again this year. They are located at 8th Avenue and McBride Blvd (Royal Square Mall). Bring in your pet for a photograph to treasure. Don’t have a pet to photograph? RCHS adoption hours are Saturday 1-4 at our shelter at 201 3rd Ave; phone 604-524-6447.

This ﬁne and friendly young guy was getting quite desperate to get inside to be warm and dry. He would make a great addition to your family and would do well with a feline buddy.

The power behind believing

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

They look like pixies as they dance on narrow wooden beams and seemingly float effortlessly through the air. But the calloused palms of teenage Burnaby gymnast Briannah Tsang tell a different story. “There was a time I thought I couldn’t do this anymore and I really wanted to quit. But my mom said to just keep going and I could get through this,” said Tsang. That was three years ago. Since then, the Grade 9 Burnaby North Secondary student is quite possibly only a year or two away from joining an elite few who will make it to the senior national level. Tsang has already earned a spot on the Canadian national junior artistic gymnastics team and is the recipient of three consecutive provincial gymnast of the year awards. The latest was being named the Kate Richardson outstanding female athlete of the year at the Gymnastics B.C. annual awards banquet last month. “I was pretty surprised because I thought someone else would win it. So that came as a bit of a shock,” Tsang said. Those other someones were Omega Gymnastics Academy teammate Shae Zamardi and Taylor Ricci of Flicka Gymnastics. All three finished in the top eight at the Canadian junior championships in Kamloops in May. Tsang placed seventh in the all-around at the nationals, while also qualifying on three separate individual apparatus. There, she won gold in the individual vault and a silver medal in floor exercises, while also finishing seventh on uneven bars.

“Well, like every kid, your dream is the Olympics, I guess,” said Tsang. “It’s still my dream, but I would like to get a scholarship with a university in the States.” Both are very real possibilities for the powerful

14-year-old. In 2007, Tsang stood on the podium in her first high-profile level appearance at the national championships, winning the floor in the national novice division. The following year, she

took top spot in the vault at the Elite Canada competition. Last year, Tsang dominated the Elite Canada competition at the junior national level, winning both the individual floor and vault, while also placing runner-up on bars. She also took the overall bronze medal in the all-around at the elite competition. “It’s like amazing and exciting,” Tsang said. “It’s kind of like I can’t believe I did it.” Despite the highs, gymnastics also has its lows, says Tsang. The sport she says is one where personal doubts have a direct bearing on success or failure. “Everyonedoubtsthemselves,” she said. “It’s the ones who can persevere, even when it’s tough. … As you go higher in the levels, (gymnasts) either quit or go to the lower levels, so you know (the others) are tough, when they’re still at a high level.”

She says committing to training for up to 30 hours, six days a week, year after year is taxing on young athletes. “But I thought, why did I spend so much time doing this just to give up. I’m happy I made that decision,” Tsang said. Gymnasts has also helped her believe in herself. She says many gymnastics are probably capable of performing at a level higher than they realize. The error, she says is not believing you can in a sport that allows few second chances. “It’s more letting yourself down. You know you can do it. You just couldn’t do it at that moment,” she said. “But it is your fault. It’s like, why didn’t I do that? It’s something you want to turn back time and do again, but you can’t.” Tsang has one more year of junior before she ◗Gymnastics Page 25

Clan freshman shines despite lack of wins Linebacker Casey Chin had 10 tackles in the final regular season game for the Simon Fraser University varsity football team. Chin, a New Westminster Secondary grad, placed sixth in team tackling, contributing 28 solo stops and 39 in total, including one sack in seven league games. The varsity Clan ended its first Great Northwest Athletic

Conference season without a win. The Clan lost 66-20 to the Humboldt State University Lumberjacks in Arcata, California in the final regular season game Nov. 13. SFU gave up 28 first-quarter points and never recovered against a Humboldt offence that rolled up 548 total yards, including more than 350 yards on the ground.

Lumberjack running back Lyndon Rowells rushed for five touchdowns, while Clan quarterback Greg Bowcott threw four interceptions, one which was returned 25 yards for a score. SFU running back Gabe Ephard finished off the season well, rushing for 170 yards, while adding a pair of receptions for 58 additional yards.

Ephard finished second in conference rushing with 941 total yards, tying teammate Bo Palmer with 6.1 yards per carry just behind that of rushing leader Rowells, who had 6.2 yards a carry. Bowcott ran in two TDs for the Clan. Ephard plunged over the line from four yards out late in the fourth quarter for the other SFU score.

The Burnaby North Vikings lost a heartbreaking final at the Lower Mainland AAA boys’ volleyball championships. The district champions fell in a five-set tiebreaker to upstart wild card qualifier Eric Hamber Griffins in the provincial qualifying final at St. George’s School Wednesday. Leading 2-0 in the final game, North was forced to sit out star power hitter Preston Wong with a muscle cramp for most of the next two sets, allowing the Vancouver No. 4 seed to mount a comeback rally. Hamber claimed the No. 1 Mainland seed with a 23-25, 21-25, 25-17, 25-20, 15-11 score. “That was the biggest difference,” said fourthyear North coach Aaron Lock. In the final tiebreaker, the Vikings fell behind 8-3 at the interval but Wong, clearly slowed by the cramp, still managed to rally North to within a point of Hamber. Trailing 10-5, North broke back, picking up four points on Wong’s service and three back-court kills. But it wasn’t enough. North upset B.C. No. 7-ranked Vancouver Technical in five sets to advance to the Mainland final. Wong contributed more than 30 winning attacks to the final score. The Vikes also got by a stubborn Burnaby South in four sets in the quarterfinal. It was the North boys’ fourth city championship and fourth straight appearance at the high school provincials. Now what is important is just where the honourable mention Vikings will be seeded at the B.C.s, said Lock. “That first round is the hardest to got out of. The placement is very important, especially when you’ve been ranked top 10 all year,” Lock said. The high school boys’ AAA provincials take place at the UBC Okanagan campus in Kelowna from Nov. 30 to Dec. 4.

Selects to Super-Y

◗ CURLING

RCCC skips to Games

BY SHARIE EPP CONTRIBUTOR Times Colonist

Daniel Wenzek curled his way to a berth in the Canada Winter Games. The 15-year-old former Royal City Curling Club skip, who attends the Esquimalt High School Curling Academy, along with third Nolan Reid, second Max Langlais, and lead Calvin Heels, stole their way to victory at the Games qualifying bonspiel last weekend in Vernon. Tied 3-3 without last rock, playing the last end of the final against Brady Ursel of Vernon, Wenzek drew top button and inched his rock behind overlapped stones on the top eight-foot circle. Ursel’s hammer shot was heavy, and Wenzek won 5-3, earning a trip to the Canada Games in Halifax, Feb. 11-27. With all three of his teammates sweeping the line, the finish was perfect, although the final result was somewhat unexpected.

“I thought it was light and inside ... it felt good when it landed,” said Wenzek. The three other teams at the qualifier had all medalled at the B.C. Winter Games last season, but, in a new twist this year, Curl B.C. added a backdoor qualifier, which Wenzek won two weeks ago in Cloverdale. It was the first time Wenzek’s team had curled together, and except for having a connection to Wenzek, none of the others knew each other. “Our team was kind of put together at the last minute,” said Reid, a 17year-old from Duncan. In the four-team round robin, their only loss was to Ursel, whose grandfather Jim Ursel, a Brier champion, and dad Bob Ursel, a three-time B.C. champ, watched from behind the glass. “Daniel did fantastic,” coach Cindy Tucker said. “For him to have that kind of composure was very cool to see.”

Mountain FC will be taking 17 Burnaby Selects to the North American SuperY league soccer finals in Florida this month. Parker Ellis, Thomas Tassone, Jeffrey Ramen, Niko Sulentic, Daniel Pervan, K.D. Konneh and Alex Chima play for Mountain under-14. Jayson Santiago, Gilbert Kyne, Jordan Lashar, Lucas Sweda, Jordan Campbell, Karl Bhandal, Danny Chahal, Miguel Bustamante, Lucas Reis and Paris Gee are all on the u-16 Mountain team.

The win improved Burnaby’s record to 5-1 and a share of top spot with the UBC Old Boys. Burnaby Lake received a fifth bonus point with the victory, keeping the club two points up on the Meralomas, who also shares a 5-1 record.

must compete at the national senior level. There she plans to work on the power that has made her such a strong developing national talent on the vault and on floor. “I’m happy, but I could be better,” Tsang added. Another strong showing at the upcoming Elite Canada competition in Gatineau, Quebec next month and Tsang will undoubtedly be well on her way to reaching her dreams.

CAREER COACH Bitter or Grateful?

This article is by Chris Newell, Career Coach and Facilitator with Transitions Career & Business Consultants. Chris Newell When I was quite young, I remember hearing a lot of negativity concerning work, money and bills, such as: “you have to work to survive, nobody likes their work”; “money is a necessary evil”; and “bills, bills, bills” (exasperated tone here). I wondered what made working such a bad experience for people that they were miserable so much of the time. What was the point in going to a job they didn’t like to earn money that they were resentful about spending, and then spend the rest of the time complaining about it all? It seemed depressing to spend one’s whole life feeling so bitter about this whole process and about something that is a huge part of life, given that we all need to make a living and pay bills. Life is just too short! So, I went on a quest to find another way of living and working in a more positive, purposeful and productive way. I read books, such as: What Colour is My Parachute?” and I experimented with different types of jobs, either by working in that area, or by taking courses or volunteering to learn more about it. After much exploring (almost 18 years), I found my ideal career, which allows me to feel grateful, not bitter, about going to work and generating enough money to pay my bills (and for me, bills mean I have something such as a home or car that I can even pay for). These last 13 years, I’ve had a positive experience surrounding work and life because of never giving up my quest to find a satisfying career. I feel grateful, not bitter. How about you? For help finding the work you love, call Transitions Career & Business Consultants, coordinators of The Transitions Program, a free 3-week career exploration program available to all unemployed people at 604-434-1177 or 604-681-2774.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Cancer June 21-July 22: Work and health issues loom large for the next four weeks. These are most intense to Dec. 7, as work swells and the stakes rise in your reputation and career zones. A working partnership might be volatile, but if you can keep tempers level, a splendid success is possible. Rest, withdraw to plan and contemplate Sunday to Tuesday eve. Midweek, your energy and charisma step up a notch – start projects, tasks. Chase money, or spend, Friday/Saturday. This month ahead will favour machinery. This week, buy it Friday, but watch for electrical/tech faults. Romance? Next week. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead offer romance, pleasure, beauty, creative surges and speculative urges.This is your time to accent your own desires, to take a chance on your talents – to expand and express yourself! A semi-romantic relationship could take off with fireworks the first two weeks, or a new, intense romance could spark. However, neither of these is likely to emerge into a stable marriage. You might wed, swiftly and impulsively, but create huge tensions as a result. Be patient. 2011 is your time. Your hopes, popularity soar early week. Rest, midweek. You shine, Friday/Saturday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Home, children, diet, nutrition, Mother Nature, gardening, parks, rest, hibernation, security, real estate – these form your “best world” for the month ahead. You might invest in property, or renovate or improve your present abode, especially over the immediate two weeks ahead. That’s good, BUT be aware of two “unforeseens” – 1) an unpredictable reaction by your mate, and/or 2) electrical issues. Make sure both are “settled” before you begin. You’ve had a bit of a wild ride in relationships over the last seven years. Decide now with whom you’ll go to the future.

Aries March 21 - April 19: A month of mellow understanding, gentle love, intellectual pursuits, legal, travel, cultural and religious involvements begins Monday morning. As your planet (Mars) is in this same area until early December, the first two weeks of this period will be intense, memorable and “high stakes.” You could fall in love, engage in a major lawsuit, travel afar – something unusual, a once-in-a-decade thing. Be honest, true-hearted; if you are not, the rest of December, into January, could bring retribution from higher-ups. Someone is ready for love with you. You’re romantic, Friday/Saturday! Taurus April 20-May 20: The weeks ahead accent depths, mysteries, investments and debts, lust, lifestyle changes, health diagnosis and cures. Your subconscious desires swell to the surface. A big decision or commitment might be demanded of you. For the next two weeks, these matters are more intense, more “impatient” than usual – and might also have more “strings attached” than is healthy. Be cautious, don’t be rushed into a situation or promise. Chase money Sunday to Tuesday – luck’s mixed, so be alert. Errands, paperwork, casual friends frustrate Wednesday, succeed Thursday. Home, family Friday onward. Gemini May 21-June 20: Drudgery ends, fresh horizons blow in, now to late December. A “quiet” relationship might take off like a rocket, or a new one begin. Links, confrontations, opportunities, challenges, competition, enmity, attraction – all grow intense. But in all the intensity, even in enmity, there is a definite streak of friendship, buoyancy and hope. A mingling effect can occur – e.g., love/hate, or you might become “best enemies.” Relocation and business/fame opportunities arise. Maturity, flexibility, diplomacy and an eagerness to join are your success tools. You’re energetic, charming this week!

Nov. 21 - Nov. 27

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The weeks ahead feature travel, paperwork, errands, details, casual acquaintances and siblings, and communications. Usually this would be a ﬁne time to buy phones, computers, etc. – but lemons lurk until Dec. 7 (and to some degree until March 2011) so delay such purchases if you can. As in the last few weeks, you might meet a “viable” potential mate while travelling or talking. But here, too, glitches exist – long-term tension and/or an unpredictable relationship. Patience, Libra – real love’s coming! Enjoyment, happiness abound this week! Be ambitious Thursday (morning best). Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The month ahead emphasizesmoney,possessions,sensualinvolvements and memory or rote learning. (This is always your best 30 days of the year to memorize anything – vocabulary, foreign languages, math techniques, etc.) Sensual = anything from good drapes, beautiful paintings, to someone’s closeness. Buy/sell, seek new clients, ask for a pay raise. BUT in all this, go slow before Dec. 8, as pitfalls exist. E.g., you might get too sensual and alienate a romantic prospect, or push too fast for a pay raise and spark tension. Love, legal, intellectual, travel success Thursday! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness rise now through December! Your sexual magnetism, determination and “wilfulness” have already grown over the last few weeks – now these increase also. Start new projects, ask favours, see and be seen, attend “in person,” get your way, negotiate – you’re in charge! But, especially until Dec. 7, don’t recklessly overpower other’s needs, desires and sensibilities, or you could create “invisible rebellions” that erupt later, just when you need allies. This week’s happy. Financial, sexual luck soars Thursday! Love, wisdom Friday/Saturday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Take a break. During the four weeks ahead, rest, contemplate and plan. Your energy will ebb. Attend to government-related tasks, institutional and charitable involvements. Fulfil obligations, but don’t volunteer for new ones. Avoid the spotlight. Avoid places where belligerent people gather – bars, dark alleys. Chores call Sunday to Tuesday – get them done. Relationships face you Tuesday eve through Thursday – be diplomatic, even evasive before Thursday. True friends, real loves, show Thursday. Mysteries, big finances, lifestyle decisions come Friday/Saturday – good results! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Friends, popularity, wish fulfilment, optimism, flirtation and happiness visit for the next few weeks! You might face an unexpected dilemma in which your money and your wishes don’t agree, and you might have to choose one. Pick the dream – maybe you can accomplish it for less. You might discover that the person you “possess” doesn’t mix well with your friends. Choose friends – but don’t listen to friends’ advice about money. Romance, flirtation, pleasure, a risk-taking mood buoy you Sunday to Tuesday. Tackle chores midweek. Exciting meetings Friday/Saturday – forgo eccentricity. Pisces Feb.19-March20:Yourcareer,neighbourhood prestige, relations with parents and bosses, are emphasized for the month ahead. I’ve already warned you that bosses are temperamental. That continues to Dec. 7, so be diplomatic, good-humoured. Expect unexpected reactions, results! Hustle to perform tasks, to meet deadlines. Bosses love eager screwups more than competent grouches. (In some fields, engineering, math, medicine, Pisces are truly favoured now.) Sink into “domestic rejuvenation” early week. Creative, romantic success Thursday. Tackle chores Friday/Saturday – practise safety Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
