Families protest cutbacks

Hopefuls step up for school race

BY JENNIFER MOREAU REPORTER

Five new candidates, so far, will challenge the incumbents

editorial@royalcityrecord.com

A small group of parents held a protest outside the office of Social Development Minister Harry Bloy on Wednesday, opposing cuts to programs for people with developmental disabilities.

Kimberley Yanko said she organized the protest outside Bloy’s office after she received calls from parents upset that funding was cut for the Consumer and Job Preparation Program at Douglas College in New Westminster, a program that prepares young adults with developmental disabilities for the workforce.

“One of them was a mother and she was just hysterical on the phone with me, asking me to help her,” Yanko said.

Yanko has a 20-year-old son who just graduated from the program. According to the parents, Community Living B.C., the Crown agency that provides support for people with developmental disabilities, cut $130,000 in funding for the program.

The parents state Douglas College was informed that Community Living B.C. funding would end by Dec. 31, leaving current students with no funding just three months into the 12-month program. CLBC changed its tune on Tuesday, Sept. 20 after parents voiced their concerns, and extended the funding until August 2012.

But that’s not good enough for Yanko, who worries about the temporary reprieve.

“You’re pulling funding from the disabled, the people who need it the most, the people who are most vulnerable in our society. And you’re leaving them high and dry. It’s cruel it’s nasty,” she said. “These kids have hopes, they ◗Families Page 4

While New Westminster school district trustees are beginning to line up for re-election, a host of challengers are now putting their names forward for one of School District No. 40’s seven board seats.

Most recently announced are Jonina Campbell, Nikki Binns and MaryAnn Mortensen.

Campbell, a Richmond teacher, mother of three local students, and outdoor play advocate, announced Monday that she will be on the ballot.

Campbell said she is running on a message of getting New Westminster’s students more physically active.

“Students are spending too much time in front of screens. I have three children and I know that physical activity improves not only their physical health, but also their attention span and mental health,” she said in a press release.

As a trustee, Campbell said she would push for policies that would bring more activity to the school day starting with encouraging kids to “walk, bike or roll to school.”

Campbell said she is also running as a strong advocate for public education.

“All students are entitled to a quality education that develops their intellectual, physical, social and emotional growth,” she said.

Campbell said she hopes to receive a New Westminster and District Labour Council endorsement.

Nikki Binns, a parent advisory council member and mother of seven, said Tuesday that she is in the process of getting election pamphlets made up for her campaign.

Binns first became active in local school politics when she became a strong advocate for keeping Hume Park Elementary open, but she ◗Election Page 10

Concert celebrates a life in music

S

erendipity. George Ryan offers that one simple word as a summation of his life in music.

The life path that has taken him from New Zealand, to the Kootenays, to Germany, to Vancouver, and on to New Westminster and Burnaby has been one filled with the kind of happy and unexpected fortune that he could never have foreseen back when he first sat down at a piano as a child at his great-aunt’s home.

That life path will be celebrated on Sunday, Oct. 2 when Holy Trinity Cathedral offers up a retrospective concert of Ryan’s work.

Dare To Dream: The Music of George Ryan is an idea that was, in part, JULIE MACLELLAN prompted by Ryan reaching his 70th birthday.

“When you get to another birthday milestone, ... you start thinking, what do you leave behind, what kind of legacy do you leave?” Ryan muses, in the resonant voice that still carries a touch of his native New Zealand.

He looked back on the career that included time teaching in Trail, B.C., a 17-year stint at St. George’s boys’ school in Vancouver, years working abroad in Germany, a long affiliation with the Bard on the Beach Shakespeare festival and, of course, his tenure as music director of Holy Trinity – and he started to realize just how much music he’d written over the course of that career.

At first, he thought he might record a CD of some of his own work. But then he thought how much more entertaining it would be if an audience could share his work as it was written to be heard: live, on stage, and sung by a variety of talented people.

So the idea of the retrospective concert was born.

The concert will feature the Holy Trinity Cathedral Choir, augmented by extra singers, and a wide range of special guests. Ryan can’t reveal them all, but expect to see some top-notch professional talent with whom he’s been associated over the years.

“I think of it like a painter, a retrospective of what I think is some of my best stuff,” he says.

It will raise funds for two causes close to Ryan’s heart: the City Stage New West theatre company and Holy Trinity Cathedral. he concert showcases work that dates back to Ryan’s arrival in Canada. He came, incidentally, on a holiday just after Expo 67. He knew one person in Canada then, a teacher with whom he’d worked in New Zealand and who had moved to Castlegar.

He worked as a musician at various churches before meeting John Bailey, the rector of Holy Trinity, at a church function.

There, Ryan found out that Holy Trinity’s music director was moving on and there would be an opening in New Westminster – where Ryan was living at the time.

“Again, serendipitous,” he says with a smile. “I have been very happy there ever since. They’ve treated me very well.”

The cathedral choir, only about a dozen voices strong, has dedicated itself to learning all the music for the retrospective concert, and extra singers are coming from the Holy Trinity congregation, from St. Laurence’s and from St. George’s for the occasion. Some are even coming in from Trail.

“It’s probably going to be a very emotional evening,” Ryan admits. “It’s also going to be a great amount of fun.”

Families: Parents protest cutbacks ◗ continued from page 1

have dreams, just like you and I and everybody else, they want to go to college, they want to get a certificate, they want to get a job, they want to get married, they want to have children, just like you and I do. And who are we to stop them?”

Yanko’s son Daniel recently graduated from the program.

“It was a really good experience, and they taught me a lot of stuff, how to take buses, and where to find jobs,” he said, adding he didn’t like the idea of cuts. “(People with developmental disabilities) will miss out on the whole program. They won’t get work experience.”

Doug Woollard, vicepresident of organizational development with CLBC, noted parents were part of the reason the agency changed its mind.

“They certainly let us know what the impact was going to be for those people, and our priority is the people we are serving, and we realized we made a mistake and we reinstated it,” said Woollard. But, the program may not continue after next August in its current form. Woollard said they may look at having people with developmental disabilities attend regular

classes.

Parents have been voicing concerns over provincial government cuts to CLBC, but Woollard pointed out that funding has not been reduced.

“Our budget has never been reduced in the entire time that we’ve existed since 2005,” he said. “What we are doing is managing our contracts to use the dollars that we currently have as effectively as possible.”

But Faith Bodnar, executive director of the B.C. Association of Community Living, characterized the situation differently.

“My knowledge is that services have been cut to people across the province in order to fund services to others, so while CLBC’s budget per se may not have experienced real cuts, if you don’t have an increase in a budget for funding services … that says to me you’ve got to find the money

somewhere, and how you find the money is you cut services for those that are currently being supported, and that to me is a cut,” said Bodnar. “A flat-line budget is basically a budget cut, because you are not keeping up with demand for services.”

The Social Development Ministry forwarded a statement on Bloy’s behalf: “I appreciate the concerns of the parents and share their commitment. That’s why I directed CLBC to find a solution for the Meadow Ridge Recycling Society and the Douglas College employment program.

I’m happy a solution was found. We’ve demonstrated our commitment to CLBC by increasing its budget every year since it was created in 2005 – totalling $3.5 billion and with last week’s $8.9 million announcement, bringing this year’s budget to $710 million.”

Snakes alive! Another reptile dumped

BY BRENT RICHTER REPORTER brichter@royalcityrecord.com

Just one month after New Westminster police and parks workers had to corral a 1.22-metre long corn snake into a box, parks workers again have had to collect a snake from Queen’s Park.

The snake is a 38-centimetres ball python that was likely dumped in the park late last week.

Unlike the last snakein-the-grass, this one was hand delivered, according to James Short, the animal services officer who is rumoured to be the only one in the city brave enough to handle snakes.

“Someone walked up to parks staff, handed them a box with a snake inside and said, ‘Here we found this in Queen’s Park,’” he said. “Whether or not they

“Don’t let them go. At the very least, take them in to animal control,” she said. “You’re sentencing them to death.”

Once healthy again, Ayo can be put up for adoption by the rescue society but unfortunately, no one in New Westminster will be allowed to adopt him as the city’s wildlife bylaw prohibits pythons and boas.

“Anything that can constrict is a safety hazard, especially when you’re dealing with little kids and they’re unattended. Things can happen,” Short said.

Kika, the 1.22-metre long orange and white corn snake picked up in Queen’s Park on Aug. 21 is still at the rescue society, w said, and she is “lovely to handle.”

OUR VIEW

mins.ca, and the spectacularly misconceived radio ads.

Each ad is a conversation between a man and a woman. Although deeming it “conversation” may be generous: inside 30 seconds, each ad turns into a string of accusations directed at Cummins.

“Just what we need, another unprincipled politician,” the woman snaps in the second ad. Unprincipled? As unprincipled as springing a massive tax shift on voters right after a general election?

The Liberals have been in power for

more than a decade. For many of the province’s younger voters, the NDP are a fuzzy memory, and the Socreds are ancient history. But the Liberals … well, like any party that clings to power for this long, they’ve racked up their share of blunders, mis-steps, and fibs.

Attacking Cummins’ policies is fine.

But the Liberals should have taken a long look in the mirror before booking ads with such a mean-spirited tone.

This move may just come back to bite them.

NDP walking a fine line with Quebec IN THE HOUSE KEITH BALDREY

T

he recent visit to B.C. of federal NDP leadership candidate Brian Topp served as a reminder that the sudden success of the party at the national level presents a potential downside for the provincial wing.

Topp, like many other federal New Democrats, expressed his support for giving Quebec more seats in the House of Commons at the expense of provinces such as B.C. He argues Quebec has a unique and historical place in Confederation, and so must be treated differently.

The federal NDP doesn’t like plans to expand the House of Commons to give 30 new seats to Ontario, B.C. and Alberta.

The three provinces are severely underrepresented in Parliament, based on growing populations in each of them.

But Quebec, which is already guaranteed 75 seats, would not receive more seats under the proposal and therefore its actual influence in Parliament would be diminished. This doesn’t sit well with Quebec nationalists, of course, who wield considerable influence over the electorate in their province.

And now that the NDP is the dominant federal party in Quebec, it finds itself pandering to that province’s self-interest at the expense of the interests of other provinces.

The federal NDP has been courting Quebec’s support for some time now. Its late leader, Jack Layton, pledged to block the redistribution plans last year and even wrote a letter to thenBloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe pledging that his party would block any legislation “that would lead to the reduction of Quebec’s political weight in the House of Commons.”

The NDP also supported a law making it mandatory that Supreme Court of Canada justices had to be bilingual, which may bar a large number of qualified jurists in Western Canada from ever being appointed to the top bench.

Layton made it clear that winning seats in Quebec was a top priority for him. The fact his party exceeded even his loftiest dreams made for a deliriously happy election night for the NDP. But now the party may start paying the price that comes with cozying up to a province that demands special status above all others.

The NDP has its historic roots in Western Canada, and B.C. has long been a particular stronghold. But will those ties now become strained, even broken, as the party shifts its focus to Quebec?

What is mayor’s opinion?

Small things important, too

In response to the announcement that he will be challenged for the mayor’s office, as quoted in the recent news article, it is unclear if Wayne Wright truly has an appalling homophobic attitude or, if not, his base comments are a reflection of the lowest form of politicking: character assassination.

As for Mr. Pigeau’s letter to the editor (Who is this Crosty fellow?, The Record, Sept. 16) it is well known that he is a long-time supporter and financial backer of the mayor and no one is fooled by his disingenuous questioning of Mr. Crosty.

There is no room for divisive, out-dated thinking at city hall; it is damaging to New Westminster. In fact, the mayor’s public expression of that kind of prejudice has no place anywhere ever.

If Mr. Wright sees himself as a visionary, he may need to have his eyes tested.

While he sets his sights on big projects using our tax dollars, we are tripping over treacherous sidewalks and damaging our cars on potholes.

The boardwalk has nails protruding to such an extent that I have friends who refuse to use it any longer. Fixing the small things first worked for Rudy Giuliani in New York City and it can work here as well. As for Ray Pigeau (Who is this Crosty fellow?, Letters to the Editor, The Record, Sept. 16), he must have his head buried in the sand.

Mr. Crosty is one of the most positive persons I have ever met. He also has an incredible amount of energy and uses a lot of it volunteering for the benefit

and the south Okanagan – a priority for him in the next election.

But those areas are also former strongholds of the old Reform Party, which had at its philosophical core a deep animosity towards Quebec.

I suspect many people who voted for that party – which put up some impressive landslide wins in elections – felt the same way. A number of political observers – including myself – said on the recent federal election night a few months back that the NDP should be careful what it wished for when it came to winning electoral success in Quebec.

And now the B.C. NDP may be about to find out how true that prediction was.

the impact that pandering to Quebec may have on the B.C. wing of the party.

NDP leader Adrian Dix has only said he supports giving B.C. more seats in the House of Commons, but he has not – at least at the time of this writing – explained whether he also favors retaining Quebec’s current strength in the House.

If the federal NDP becomes painted as a Quebec-first party, this will undoubtedly give the B.C. Liberals (and the B.C. Conservatives) a lot of ammunition with which to fire away at Dix and his colleagues.

The impact of this situation would be felt most significantly outside of Metro Vancouver.

Dix has made winning seats in the Interior – places like Vernon, Penticton, the Cariboo

The federal caucus is now dominated by MPs from Quebec.

Many of those 59 MPs are Quebec-firsters, and whoever wins the party leadership must walk a fine line between accommodating Quebec’s interests while not penalizing traditional areas of strength such as B.C. and Ontario.

But blocking attempts to give B.C. a more deserving presence in Parliament is a no-go in this province.

Topp appeared on CKNW radio last week and said he thought British Columbians would gladly give Quebec more than its fair share of seats, which suggests he is severely out-of-step with public opinion in this province.

A recent letter (Wright gets the job done, The Record, Sept. 21) praising Mayor Wayne Wright and attacking mayoralty candidate James Crosty seems to reveal a civic leader of such immense stature that the whole world needs him, not just little New Westminster.

Re: Fines just don’t cut it; seize their cars, Our View, The Record, Sept. 21 Regarding your editorial on road-racing: I know a young man who tried out his old BMW at night alone and was caught at double the speed limit.

He got a ticket for $600. On appeal, the judge reduced it to $400. He had no money, being an apprentice – and no “rich” parents.

I wonder about this $196 fine, when a simple ticket costs $175 nowadays, could somebody explain that to me?

A letter to James Crosty: I believe many people are disenchanted with elections for the exact reason that people running for public office choose to go on a negative attack on the competition instead of presenting a positive position on how they would like to do things if elected.

In a cross-examination worthy of a supreme court trial, reader Ron B. Gordon fires about a dozen questions at Mr. Crosty, clearly insinuating that Mr. Crosty does not have the answers, but Mr. Wright does.

It seems to me that if even half these probing questions are indeed in the grasp of Mr. Wright, he would qualify for a position of much greater magnitude: Secretary General of the United Nations, perhaps, or at least Canada’s prime minister.

Yet even the worshipful Mr. Gordon admits that, after nine years at our civic helm, Mayor Wright faces some issues still lacking a solution.

We are told, however, that the mayor “has a plan”. We are not told what it is, but we are assured that Mr. Crosty doesn’t have one.

Hyack looks for new executive director

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The Hyack Festival Association is embarking on the hunt for a new executive director.

Melanie Vogel has resigned as the association’s executive director effective Oct. 3.

“While I believe I am moving on for an exciting reason, I am sorry to leave,” she said in a press release. “It has been a great honour and privilege to serve the community in New Westminster by putting on its major fun, family-oriented events such as the recently held Hyack Festival week and FraserFest, and to help organized Hyack’s 40th anniversary. I hope residents and guests enjoyed all our festivals and festivities as much as we did.”

Vogel, who has served as Hyack’s executive director for the past two-and-a-half years, is proud of the changes that have been instituted at the association, including strengthening relationships with city hall and community partners, revising the design of promotional materials, and revitalizing FraserFest. She’s also pleased with initiatives to bring the FraserFest fireworks back to the riverfront from Queensborough Landing and to support the youth centre, Greater Vancouver Food Bank and adopt-afamily program for Christmas.

“Our focus was mainly directed towards making the operations more efficient and effective,” she said about her time as execu-

in

tive director. “We put a lot of effort in finetuning and improving many small details which resulted in a better operating system, more vibrant events, new revenue sources, improved community relationships and as a result a more positive feedback from the community. In addition I am happy that there are changes to come, which have already been set in motion.”

Vogel plans to travel the world for an extended period of time, starting at the end of October.

“I am a traveller, and I haven’t arrived yet,” she said. “The Hyack Festival Association was an important destination in my life journey, but I felt I needed to start moving again. India will be my first destination on this world trip.”

Rick Molstad, president of the Hyack Festival Association, joked that the board was tempted to take Vogel’s passport from her so she wouldn’t be able to leave.

“She has been a wonderful executive director for the past two-and-a-half years.

She has instituted some changes in Hyack to make it fresh and not the same-old, same old,” he said. “She has worked hard with us. Nobody has a better work ethic than Melanie. We are going to miss her.”

The Hyack Festival Association’s board has appointed a hiring committee to identify and hire a new executive director as soon as possible. In the meantime, the board will supervise day-to-day operations, supported by the office team.

said there are other issues that need attention including special needs education and the capital plan.

“Children with special needs, obviously, is a huge one for the district. There’s just not enough funding there to get them the help they need,” Binns said. “Getting these schools built is another huge issue for me, and keeping schools open in our district – not closing them.”

Binns, who is also vying for a labour endorsement, said she is seeking a seat on the board because she wants to advocate for everyone’s children the same way she advocates for her own.

“I know I’m not a politician. I’m just a concerned parent. I want the best for every child in this district, including mine. This is the next step in doing that,” she said.

Mortensen issued a press release Wednesday declaring her campaign, after stepping down as chair of the districtwide parent advisory council.

Mortensen first became involved in local school governance in 2008 when the board of the day announced plans to build a new elementary of middle school in Grimston Park with “a lack due process” in deciding where new West Side schools should be located.

As such, Mortensen said seeing the long-standing capital plan through to completion must be the top priority for the next board.

Mortensen said, if elected, she will also help refocus the board on prioritizing students’ education and openness in decision making.

“Every facet of decision-making needs to be child-centred, and better opportunities need to be created for parents to engage in their children’s education,” Mortensen said in the release. “There also needs to be greater transparency and accountability in how the New Westminster school board operates.”

Mortensen is requesting endorsement by Voice New Westminster.

Coquitlam teacher David Phelan announced last Monday that he would be running again. Phelan ran in 2008, netting 2,322 votes – about 1,300 short of a board seat.

Vivian Garcia, who lost by just two votes after a judicial recount in 2008, said she will not be mounting a campaign this year, but she has an offer for this year’s candidates.

“No, I’m not running, but I have a stack of four-foot long sign posts if anyone wants them – totally unused in the last election. There’s about 100 of them,” she said.

Four of the current board’s trustees have committed to running again.

Turning a passion into business

A love of video games leads to new store on city’s 12th Street

BY STEFANIA SECCIA REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Twelfth Street has a new addition by way of Press Start, a new and used video game store that takes a love of retro games to the next level.

After working for video game stores, Russell Bradley, 26 – a passionate gamer from his early youth – decided to not only be his own boss, but also turn his hobby into a business.

“I started to play video games when the first Super Nintendo came out,” Bradley said while at the back of his store, sitting in front of the 55 inch LCD TV screen hooked up with an XBOX, XBOX 360, Nintendo 64, PlayStation 2 and 3, Sega Mastersystem and Wii, put there for anyone to play on a big comfy couch. “We also have an original Nintendo hooked up to an older TV.” Press Start officially opened last November, and it specializes in older games dating back to the Super Nintendo to the current PlayStation 3 – he also has old and new consoles in stock, such as the Nintendo 64, Wii and others.

“They are $12. We will donate $3 to the Union Gospel Mission.”

The anniversary celebration runs through Sunday, Sept. 25. The café is located near the Inn at Westminster Quay.

The latest issue of MONTECRISTO magazine includes an article called, Waterfront Revival.

“It’s being called the new West End and ‘Poor Man’s Kitsilano.’ Just a half-hour SkyTrain ride from downtown Vancouver, New Westminster is an increasingly desirable place for young urbanites and families to live, work and play,” says the article’s opening paragraph.

“The city, the oldest in British Columbia and the province’s first capital, is undergoing a revitalization, and is redefining itself as a hip and historic hangout.”

The magazine, founded in 2008, describes itself as a “lifestyle quarterly for discerning, cultured Vancouverites.”

Three-sporter top STMC athlete

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Being involved was a hallmark for two-time defending St. Thomas More Collegiate senior female athlete of the year, Sarah Hughes.

Hughes made sports a career path while at the Burnaby independent school, participating in three sports from the day she enrolled in Grade 8.

In fact, from her junior years on, Hughes went to all but one of the provincial high school championships available to her.

Hughes also volunteered with school programs that helped the unfortunate in the community and Agape, an outreach Christian ministry program that serves the unfortunate on the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.

“I feel like I’m giving back. It makes me feel good,” said Hughes, who was also a part of the school’s pep squad.

“We make candy bags for the people. We have fun making them, and it brings us together. We know it helps.”

Help is something the multi-sport athlete brings to whatever team she happens to be on.

Hughes helped STM to three consecutive varsity volleyball and soccer provincial finals, while missing out on a third straight appearance at the B.C. AA basketball championships when STM’s star player Lexie Der went down with a leg injury late in the season.

“I had played with (Lexie) for so long, and when that happened it was not good at all,” remembered Hughes. “(Lexie) took it so well, she came to all our games and practices. We all texted her every day. I guess it showed our

But rather than see her Grade 12 year reflected in a championship medal, it was shadowed in disappointment.

Salmonbellie rookie top pick in NLL draft

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Kevin Crowley of New Westminster was made the top pick in the National Lacrosse League pro entry draft on Wednesday.

The multi award-winning Stony Brook University grad was taken first overall by the Philadelphia Wings.

Crowley scored 131 markers and added more than 100 helpers in 60 career games at Stony Brook,

the only player in school history to record the century feat in goals and assists.

He was one of just three players in America East history to be named a four-time first team allstar. Crowley was also named the winner of the Enners award as the top Division I player in 2010.

“Kevin is going to be a star in the NLL on the floor, and we know he will represent the values of the Wings organization in the community,” said Wings general

manager and head coach Johnny Mouradian in a club press release.

“We really like his commitment to develop his game at the highest levels.”

Jordan McBride, a former junior Salmonbellie and Stony Brook teammate of Crowley, was selected in the second round 13th overall by the Colorado Mammoth.

Other B.C. products drafted in the six-round sweepstakes included Coquitlam junior Travis Cornwall, highly regarded as the

Veteran defenceman Chris Busto will captain this season’s Grandview Steelers through the Pacific International Junior Hockey League season.

Entering his fourth season of junior hockey, the 20year-old Busto will head a veteran backline consisting of returning players Colton Shock, Cody Rowand and Simon Horlick.

The Steelers are a little younger up front with Burnaby’s Alex Roberts and Geoffrey Soo headlining a rookie crop of almost a dozen teenagers, including Northwest Giants graduates Sean Lan and Jordan Hall.

The Burnaby-based club also signed Joel Gaudet and Vik Sanghera from the Semiahmoo midget program and Anthony Bori from Coquitlam.

Also new to the Steelers are Brandon Gantz, Tyler Bognar and 17-year-old Julian Davis, who was traded to the North Vancouver Wolf Pack on Tuesday in return for veteran Mico Dragutinovic.

The 20-year-old Surrey forward played for three teams last season, including Port Moody and Mission, before ending up with the Wolf Pack.

Last season, Dragutinovic collected 41 points, including 15 goals and 87 minutes in penalties.

The Steelers also moved a couple of players off last year’s squad to the junior A ranks.

Robert Wilkinson, whose playing rights were traded to the Weyburn Red Wings of the Saskatchewan league for future considerations Sept. 16, signed on with the Prairie club.

Nic Gushue also signed a junior A card, hooking up with the new Langley Rivermen of the B.C. Hockey League.

Grandview will find itself in tough company again this season in the Tom Shaw conference.

But a two-point loss to Seycove in the final provincial qualifying matchup was not the first or last disappointment that shaped Hughes’ final year at STM.

highly ranked soccer field also found its road to the final rerouted.

“I think that was just shock,” said Hughes.

“Really? That just happened? We were that close to going to the final.”

The pivotal moment came in STM’s final game of pool play at the provincials. Leading by a goal in the final minute, the Knights gave up the lead to Ballenas, which tied the score in the final 30 seconds. The Nanaimo school then went on to win in overtime.

The loss dropped STM out of the final four.

“Just going through it all, I just think, I don’t know, it was difficult. … Maybe it helped me,” Hughes said. “I grew as a person and learned from that. It helped me. Now I know what I have to do as an athlete to get over it. I have to learn to push myself harder.”

Hughes was recruited by college scouts to play basketball, but chose to try out for volleyball at Capilano University this fall instead.

A power hitter with the Knights, Hughes has played club ball since Grade 10 with the Thunder club, which finished fourth at this year’s nationals in Division 1 Tier 2.

Hughes is determined to learn and grow from her high school experiences.

“When everything did happen it was why?

But, when you’re going through it, you have to take that positive from it and go with it, and learn more,” she said. “I just always played. Other people would like to dance.

I’d just like to kick a ball. “(My older brother) helped me out. I always liked playing, and he’d tell me to stick with it. I never really thought about not playing.”

Rovers Utd. upset in home opener

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Norvan Pacific rode a three-goal performance from co-player of the week Blake Burgon to upset Rovers United 4-1 in the team’s home opener at Queen’s Park Stadium last Saturday.

Rovers United, 3-2 winners over the Delta United Hurricanes last week, was missing its two goal scorers, Rizal Ganief and Bobby Jhutty, from the team’s Vancouver Metro Soccer League premier division home opener.

Kyle Phillips accounted for the Rovers’ only goal, when he beat a couple of

Norvan defenders and scored from the edge of the 18-yard box in the second half.

Newly promoted Norvan Pacific was named team of the week for its win over the favoured New Westminster-based club.

Rovers United is currently locked in a five-team tie for fifth place, all with three points, in the premier league.

This weekend, the former Sapperton club will enjoy a bye in the schedule.

The following week, Rovers United will take on the currently unbeaten West Van FC at Ambleside Turf on Saturday, Oct. 1.

Twenty-nine riders, 900 km, nine days, one goal

By Shivani Malli “Life is like riding. We can work as individuals or together. Life is easier when we work together towards a common goal,” says Bob Lee, a BC Ambulance Services paramedic and third time rider of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast team. For Lee and the rest of his team, the common goal that is at the forefront of their vision as they ride throughout the various communities on Tour, is to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research and support programs.

Lee points out, “When you’re on Tour, it’s more than just cycling.

It’s about meeting kids, families and communities who are affected by cancer and hearing their heartwarming stories. And if I inspire others along the way to donate, then I will have truly reached the finish line of Tour.”

“Our team is a community in itself. Together, we’ll reach the top of the hill, smiling and laughing.

Some riders are even huffing and puffing away, but that’s OK, because we’ll all make it. To me, this is like childhood cancer survivors, where they’ve made it over the bumps and the big hill with the help, generosity and support of others,”says Lee. Lee leaves us with a nice twist to

an old proverb, “It takes a community to raise a child. For childhood cancer to be beaten it will take a community to raise the funds.”

The Cops for Cancer team needs support from local communities to help the Canadian Cancer Society, BC and Yukon Division raise money for pediatric cancer and support programs like the acclaimed Camp Goodtimes.

Obituaries

CROCKFORD, Victor Howorth Ernest

May 16, 1917 - September 18, 2011

Vic was born in Vancouver in the spring of 1917.

Growing up, he enjoyed an active life in the Kitsilano area. He attended Kitsilano High School, graduating in the late 1930s. Soon after, Vic left for England, where he joined the Ordinance Survey Unit and applied his education and skills overseas with the British army when war broke out. During the war, Vic spent three years in two POW camps.

Vic returned to Vancouver after the war and, while frequenting a Rexall drug store, met Doreen, who had recently moved from Wapella, Saskatchewan, accepting a job as an assistant pharmacist. Clearly, Vic had more than aspirin and kleenex on his mind. Vic and Doreen were married in 1950 and celebrated their 61st anniversary on August 12 at their home of 46 years in New Westminster. Vic became a B.C. Land Surveyor in 1956, eventually becoming senior partner in a firm until retiring in the early 1990s. He loved the days spent in the field and surveyed many areas of B.C. Vic was a true giver; he was devoted in service to his community (Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, Planning Commission, the Presbyterian Church and more), and to his family and many friends. It was all so natural and altruistic for Vic, and he made all who knew him feel needed and loved.

Vic is survived by his wife Doreen, his daughter Carol (Stewart) and son Bryan, granddaughters Julia and Anna and grandsons Trevor and Tyson.

Vic will be cremated and requests no service. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the CNIB would be appreciated.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent lies on relationships, through late October. You’ll feel romantic, brave, adventurous – this helps you meet exciting new contacts, love prospects, and business or monetary opportunities. But it can also propel you to quarrel, make unwanted advances, or be a little too rough with a loved one or children. (All this to Nov. 10.) So use a light touch – your “vibrancy” will come through. You could meet true love. Tackle routine chores Sunday/Monday. Relationships intensify Tuesday-Thursday: one bond breaks, another forms.

Wisdom, love, travel Friday night onward!

Taurus April 20-May 20: Sunday/Monday gives you one last taste of pleasure, poetry and romance, as you enter a month of hard work. (You’re a slow starter but a great worker, accomplisher.) Tuesday/ Wednesday bring a real taste of that work. Knuckle down; ignore the temptation to daydream. Your nights might hold strange, deep, muffled dreams, about alienation or relationship difficulties. (If you work the graveyard shift, these might be actual relationship or work – computer? – problems.

Proceed cautiously.) The world offers new meetings, new horizons Thursday/Friday. Saturday holds mysteries – research!

Gemini May 21-June 20: The past few weeks brought endings, perhaps one big (and believe it or not, lucky) one. These endings somehow will lead to better horizons in love, mating, general opportunity, relocation and dealings with the public. Though Saturday contains a hint of these, they won’t arrive “full bodied” until June 2012 through July 2013.

Meanwhile, you’ll still receive a “boost” from these endings – relief, freedom of spirit, etc. Spend the next eight months healing,getting square with governments (e.g., taxes) being charitable, and seeking spirit. A hint of those new horizons appears Saturday.

6020

Cancer June 21-July 22: The weeks ahead (especially this Tuesday/Wednesday) feature your domestic situation, children, property, garden, your soul, stomach … and give you a mild hibernating experience. Some relationships, projects and situations will end, others begin: prune the stale, nurture potential. Your money heats up through early November – avoid impulsive spending. More will come in, but much more can go out, unless you’re careful. Sunday/Monday are abrupt, unpredictable: practice safe driving and “safe career” – a new one possible! Romance, beauty lure Thursday/Friday.

Tackle chores Saturday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Short trips, mail, communications, paperwork, errands and details fill the busy weeks ahead. Those communications will be profitable if you send them to the powers that be.

You’re greatly favoured by them now. Through early November, your sexual magnetism flares strongly, your determination grows, and your mental side grows. You might speed to a foreign country, start a lawsuit, begin higher studies, or otherwise throw your consciousness into a swift adventure! You might also talk marriage with someone. Careful midweek: a bigger job than is apparent lurks under the surface.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: The weeks ahead feature possessions, sensual relationships, money, earnings, buying/selling. Your charisma, energy and luck soar Sunday/Monday – take advantage!You’ll meet unusual, unpredictable money situations Sunday into Tuesday: take it in stride. Invest only cautiously. An unusual sexual attraction might occur – it will seem merely friendly, but suddenly approach “other zones.” This is not likely to be a stable, lasting bond. Separations or love disappointments can come midweek. Thursday/ Friday promote travel, casual friendships, love bonds.

Be home, in nature, Saturday.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Sept. 25 - Oct. 1, 2011

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: You ride a wave of success now into late October! You’ll get along well with others, especially a spouse or business associates. You could meet a potent lover in a group setting (anything from double dating to a political convention). The more you mingle socially, the more chance you’ll meet someone intriguing. Normally anyone you meet in the next six weeks (or did, last week) would make a splendid partner. But this year promotes deeply sexual, not necessarily faithful, bonds. Lie low, plan, rest Sunday/Monday. Conquer people and problems midweek. Money, Thursday/Friday.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your mood rises to friendly, optimistic heights Sunday/Monday. A “bump” might occur in your duties and relations with organizations, government or care-givers.

Tuesday/Wednesday strike the general tone for the weeks ahead: you’ll be a bit weary, quiet and contemplative – seek sweet solitude, plan your future. Give to charities, be spiritual. Realize (as you know so well) that secrets and communications don’t mix. Your energy rises nicely Thursday/Friday, but don’t be fooled Friday eve. Saturday brings good money, shopping. Fifteen years of home insecurity will end forever by 2012!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Adventure strikes! A wish will come true during the month ahead. You’ll feel friendly, feted, flirtatious, optimistic and ready for fun. The seven weeks ahead will intensify your legal, intellectual, far travel, cultural, publishing, religious, and/or educational involvements. You could visit another country, succeed at school, etc.

You could also fall in love, even wed – but a caution here: overall, now to June 2012 is a work period, not especially a lovey-dove one. (You’ll see this very strongly November/11 to June/12.) Your “true relating” time occurs June 2012 to July 2013.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The accent lies on your career over the month ahead. Not everything will be easy here, as Sunday to Wednesday show. Sunday/ Monday provoke abrupt, unpredictable events in your career zone, while Tuesday/Wednesday lead to calmer waters. (But you sense, correctly, that there is a big need for change beneath those calming surfaces.) By October 2012, all this career pressure will end, but until then, don’t quit your job unless you have a better one “in hand.” Your mood lightens, and a wee wish could come true, Thursday/Friday. A flirtation could surprise you. Retreat, rest Saturday.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Relationships intensify until early November – whether it’s love or hate, you’ll do plenty of talking, writing. The stakes might be your lifestyle, assets, sexual “health” – as November to July 2012 will show. For a few weeks ahead, your “opinion” remains mellow, wise and understanding. Love could blossom. Legal, intellectual, far travel, cultural and educational themes envelope you. Happiness is possible! But tread carefully in legal waters midweek: don’t hide anything. Career important Thursday/Friday.

Popularity, social joys, light romance visit you Friday night, Saturday.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Relationships hold some surprises Sunday/Monday, especially in money and sexual areas. It’s not the best time to seek cooperation. The month ahead focuses on big finances, secrets, lifestyle, health diagnoses, sexual urgings and intimacy, research, changes, commitments and consequences. These themes are very apparent Monday night to Wednesday eve – proceed carefully, as some hidden barriers exist (again mostly barriers to co-operation) but so do some sweet successes. Gentle love and understanding flow over you Thursday/Friday.

Be ambitious, mix with power people Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
