SIGNS OF SPRING?:

The mercury may have dropped well below freezing this week, but 20-monthold Zion Dalueg wasn’t about to let the temperatures stop him from getting an early start on the soccer season. Zion was out playing with his dad at Westminster Pier Park over the weekend. Those planning outdoor adventures this coming weekend may want to plan for just about any kind of weather.

Saturday’s forecast calls for sun and cool temperatures (with a low of –1C), while Sunday may see a mixture of rain and snow. But we’re pretty sure spring’s arrival is imminent.

Any second now.

Just around the corner …

Arcade gets go-ahead for Sapperton Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

It’s game on for a retro gaming arcade that’s been trying to set up shop in New Westminster for nearly two years.

New Westminster city council has approved a temporary use permit for 457 East Columbia St., which will allow Brad and Maryanne Eyers to operate a classic arcade

in the building for two years. Staff recommended that the operation be reviewed after 18 months. If it hasn’t caused any issues, the city could proceed with a zoning amendment that would enable the business to operate on a permanent basis.

“We believe it will be a fabulous family-based entertainment spot for the neighbourhood,” Maryanne Eyers told council at Monday’s public hearing. “It will also

be a destination for people throughout the region to come to New West that maybe hadn’t come to New West previously.”

Eyers said the couple has received quite a bit of positive feedback about the arcade from businesses on East Columbia Street and from the McBride Sapperton Residents’ Association.

“We even had the New Westminster Police Department reach out to us through so-

Up Front PATTULLO BRIDGE

New bridge coming within five years Provincial government has agreed to design, finance and build a $1.377-billion replacement Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Motorists, cyclists and pedestrians could be crossing the Fraser River over a brand new bridge within five years.

The provincial government has announced it is taking on the role of designing, financing and building a $1.377-billion structure to replace the Pattullo Bridge, which opened in 1937.The new bridge has been included in the mayors’ council on regional transportation’s 10-year vision for the region but had no identified funding source.The bridge will now be funded from the province’s $14.6-billion, three-year capital plan.

“The last time we were gathered talking about transportation in the region, it was to announce the elimination of tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges,” Premier John Horgan told a crowd gathered at Westminster Pier Park Friday morning. “That has relieved pressure here in New Westminster, as well as on the Pattullo Bridge, with more traffic going back to those new pieces of infrastructure. But that does not change the fact that this bridge was designed in the 1920s, built in the 1930s and is well past its best-before date.”

Claire Trevena, minister of transportation and infrastructure, said there are

68,000 crossings of the Pattullo Bridge each day. She said there are “serious safety concerns” with the structure, noting there are times when trucks straddle lanes when crossing the bridge.

“It’s not designed for the size of vehicles we have now,” she said. “It was designed for the size of vehicles they had in the 1920s.”

The new bridge will have four vehicle lanes, as well as specific lanes for cyclists and pedestrians on both sides.

New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Cote welcomed the announcement, saying it makes it a lot easier for the mayors’ council on regional transportation to take on other aspects of its 10-year plan.

“This was a major hurdle that didn’t have an identified funding source, but which we as the region’s mayors recognized needed to be done,” he said.

“Having the Pattullo Bridge come off the plate of the mayors’ council and TransLink, I think now makes it a lot easier for us to move forward with the public transit investments we have been working hard to put in place.”

Cote said there’s no doubt that construction of a new bridge is going to have some traffic impacts but said he’s confident the province will work closely with Surrey and New Westminster to mitigate the impacts.

“The bridge on the New Westminster side lands in some very urban residential neighbourhoods.There is no reason why that type of infrastructure can’t fit in, but if it’s not done right it can have a negative impact,” he said. “I know the City of New Westminster is very eager to work with the parties involved to make sure that we get this right.”

New Westminster MLA

Judy Darcy said the bridge is just one component of a regional transportation plan for Metro Vancouver.

“We are also talking about a regional transportation plan – this is one piece of it,” she said. “This is the first major announcement, but there are going to be more announcements to come.”

While it’s a “necessary and overdue” upgrade for

the Pattullo Bridge, Jonina Campbell, deputy leader of the B.C. Greens, said it raises questions about the provincial government’s broader plans for transportation funding.

“I am particularly glad to see that the project will include space for cyclists and pedestrians,” she said in a press release. “The removal of tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridg-

es put $4.2 billion onto taxpayer-supported debt.

There are many vital elements of the mayors’ 10year plan that await funding – in particular the Broadway subway extension and the surrey LRT. It is important to meet our commitment to fund these projects, especially as the population of the Lower Mainland continues to rapidly expand.”

City explores ban on plastic bags and straws Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Could plastic bags and plastic straws become a thing of the past in the Royal City? One city councillor sure hopes so.

Coun. Lorrie Williams is concerned that plastic bags and straws aren’t biodegradable and end up in landfills and waterways. She originally put forward a motion recommending the city ban the sale and use of single-use plastic bags and straws by 2019 but amend-

ed it to have staff report back on the issue of banning single-use plastic bags and straws.

“I was quite moved by the fact that Victoria had done the same thing,”Williams said. “They are being taken to court and challenged by the plastic people.”

Williams said her motion isn’t an attempt to ban all plastic bags.

“What I am truly attempting to do is cut down on the use of unnecessary plastic bags,” she said.

“Those are the ones that end up in the landfills and are floating around and looking like jellyfish and getting into the stomachs of wildlife.”

Williams said she’d like the city to also seek input from the business community about how to best implement a ban on the items.

“I am hoping the whole of Metro Vancouver will come onside. I think with this, if it’s a regional thing it will have much more of an impact,” she said.

While she was concerned

about the original motion to ban single-use plastic bags and straws in 2019, Coun.

Marry Trentadue supported the amended motion to have staff look into the issue.

“I really want to have a better understanding of how it impacts the community and also what other jurisdictions have done and if they have had challenges or where it has worked,” she said. “I would like to see more work done behind this before we are able to move it forward.”

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said the city needs to keep a close eye on the challenge against Victoria’s bylaw and Metro Vancouver’s efforts to tackle single-use items.

“I think the spirit of trying to deal with single-use products is something that we as municipalities need to deal with,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “I think it’s important that we don’t need to reinvent the wheel on this one. Metro Vancouver is actually dedicating a significant amount of time to working over the next year

on single-use products, and I think we need to combine our work with those efforts.

I think, in the end, Metro Vancouver may have recommendations for the region as a whole, but they may also be in a situation where some municipalities have different views.”

Metro Vancouver will be consulting with cities and stakeholders this year on the issue of waste from singleuse items, with the goal of developing a regional strategy by late 2018 or early 2019.

News Paintball gun mistaken for rifle in Victoria Hill Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Two people were arrested recently for firing what appeared to be a rifle from a building in Victoria Hill.

The incident happened on Feb. 10 at around 9 p.m.

Police were tipped off after someone saw a man on the upper floor balcony of a building at Memorial Drive and Ross Drive shooting a rifle into Memorial Park below, according to a police press release.

Officers were dispatched

to the building and two adults – both New West residents – were arrested without incident.Turns out the “rifle” the man was using was a paintball gun, according to the release.

“After a discussion with officers, it was determined

that the male was not shooting at people but was calibrating his paintball gun with no intent to cause harm,” the release noted, adding no one was injured and no damage was located.

Both residents were released without charges.

“This man was seen by witnesses shooting what appeared to be a rifle into a nearby park,” New Westminster Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Jeff Scott said in the release. “We would like to remind people to be mindful of how

their paintball guns may appear to other members of the public and that they can easily be mistaken for real firearms. Keep your paintball activity to the paintball park.”

Council agrees to temporary use permit for arcade Continued from page 1 “I am not sure what my generation did in the late ’80s to lead to the widespread restrictions on arcades, but I think times have changed since that time and there is a resurgence in the retro games and these types of facilities have been very popular all across North America,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “I think it would be a really good fit for a city like New Westminster. I do have concerns we have been a little bit cautious in moving forward with this application. I think the last six months have demonstrated that New West residents can

play board games and drink a beer at the same time and not cause too much trouble.

I don’t see that there would be any significant issues with this.”

The temporary use permit includes a number of conditions, including no liquor service, no gambling and operating hours between 6 a.m. and midnight.

Following the public hearing, council approved the temporary use permit but expressed concerns that the city’s rules on arcades are a bit old school and that the restrictions being imposed on the Capital City Classic Arcade, such as a

two-year temporary use permit that prohibits the sale of liquor, could affect the economic viability of the business.

“Two years seems to be a long time for a temporary use,” said Coun. Patrick Johnstone. “Maybe we can talk about having an actual proper change to the zoning bylaw to facilitate this kind of change on a shorter timeline than that?”

Jackie Teed, the city’s acting director of development services, said two years seems like a long time – unless you’re looking at the work plan that the development services department is

trying to enact.

“What we have discussed with the Eyers, is after 18 months, if everything is going well, that would be the time to start initiating a rezoning process for the property in order to make the use permanent. At that time, if the Eyers are interested in pursuing a liquor licence as well, we could do that at the same time,” she said. “So really, it’s only 18 months out to actually starting the process to get them in place permanently.”

Coun. Bill Harper, chair of the city’s economic advisory committee, said attracting businesses to the

city is a key component of the city’s economic development strategy. Noting the changes in technology and gaming, he doesn’t think the rationale that was behind banning arcades 20 years ago still exists today.

Council approved Harper’s motion to direct staff to report back to council in six months and to provide a police report so council can determine how to move forward with the temporary use permit.

Let’s ditch democracy and bring on the games Forget democracy.

We’ve got a much better idea for choosing our next New Westminster council and school board.

Much as we love New West, any city hall watcher would have to agree its municipal elections tend to lack a little zing.What with the whole powerhouse New Westminster and District Labour Council endorsement, results haven’t always been as suspenseful as one

might hope.

It was while we were watching the Olympic figure skating ice dance final that we realized our city is missing a golden (pun completely intentional) opportunity to rework the way we choose our elected officials.

We need to scrap boring old elections in favour of an Olympic-style competition.

Prospective council members would be required to present two programs to the

public.

Their short program – to be performed in a public venue in front of a live audience – would have to contain all the technical elements required to make an excellent elected official.These elements could be determined by a panel of experts, but we suggest contestants should show mastery of such skills as Understanding Budgets, Providing Efficient Public Transit,

Keeping Our Streets Safe, Balancing the Needs of ‘Old’ and ‘New’ New Westminster, and Creating Affordable Housing (a.k.a.

Finding a Unicorn).

Then, in the long program, the hopefuls who made it through the first round would be required to demonstrate their ability to pull all those technical elements together in one appealing, accessible, relatable package – with extra merit

points provided in such categories as Pleasant Personality,Work Ethic, Sense of Humour and Overall Human Beingness.

Only those candidates who are able to demonstrate sufficient mastery of all the skills would then be allowed to ascend to the podium – a.k.a. the council chambers or school board table.

This plan still has a few details to be worked out (not the least of which are:

would candidates be required to wear sparkly spandex outfits, and could Mayor Jonathan Cote nail a twizzle sequence?), but we think it’s got some potential.

Oh sure, we could just go back to encouraging more people to step forward to run for office and being pleased about the presence of new voices in the political discourse of the city.

But we like this idea better.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

NDP is playing blacktop politics For more evidence that the NDP government is very Lower Mainland-centric, look no further than last week’s announcement that it would replace the Pattullo Bridge with a new one built with provincial dollars.

The government is willing to take the bridge off the hands of TransLink and local mayors and pile up about $1.4 billion (the cost of the bridge replacement) in debt. Don’t expect the NDP to be spending that kind of money on highways and bridges outside the Metro Vancouver area any time soon.

The NDP owes its position of power to the fact that in the last election it ran the table in almost all the ridings from Boundary Road to Maple Ridge. Smack in the middle of that political geography is the Pattullo Bridge.There’s nothing quite like blacktop (or, in this case, bridge connection) politics. It’s a timehonoured tradition for governments to build things in parts of the province that are friendly to them.

The Social Credit government of the 1980s built the Coquihalla Highway, which ran through a number of Socred-friendly ridings in the Interior.The NDP government of the 1990s built the Island Highway, which connects a number of strong NDP ridings, as well as the Millennium SkyTrain extension, which runs through traditional NDP ridings in Burnaby and the Tri-Cities.

The previous B.C. Liberal government, having built

the Port Mann Bridge to serve the politically vitally important area of the Fraser River suburbs, was all set to build a mammoth bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel.That would have served Richmond, Delta and Vancouver, all areas of Liberal strength.

But the new NDP government made it clear it was having none of that, and consigned the Massey crossing to further and perhaps prolonged study.

It’s been thought for some time the number 1 priority for the region’s mayors has been replacing the aging and crumbling Pattullo Bridge, yet the previous government was deaf to their concerns, smug in the knowledge it belonged to TransLink and therefore the mayors would have to figure out a way to pay for it.

The 2013 election result, which shifted the core political power of the B.C. Liberal Party to much of the Interior, helped shape that government’s views on Lower Mainland transportation issues. Essentially, the B.C. Liberals all but ignored them.The 2017 election result, which centred the NDP’s power base in the eastern suburbs and much of Surrey, has likewise had the same impact on that party’s views on transportation issues.

The Pattullo Bridge is surrounded by about a dozen or so ridings held by the NDP, including a few they poached from the B.C. Liberals. So it comes as no surprise this government Continued on page 9

If a tree falls in the forest …

Residents living near Glenbrook Ravine were startled awake in June by the sound of trees being felled in the dead of night.They called police just after 2:30 a.m. to report the noise, and officers were dispatched to check it out. Upon arrival at the park, they found numerous trees had indeed been cut down. A canine unit was called in, and an early morning manhunt ensued.The dog picked up a scent, and police soon spotted two youths trying to run away through the bushes.The duo, one 15-year-old and one 17-year-old, were quickly apprehended and appeared in provincial court later that same day.

Opinion Letter was offensive Dear Editor: Re: ‘Superstitious nonsense’ has no place in society, Inbox, the Record, Feb. 8.

Mr. Granewall has written a bigoted and offensive letter against legitimate, mainstream religion, while using one of the oldest and most transparent fallacy tricks in the history of debating. First, he creates two straw men in different ways, then he hacks away at the straw men, while claiming that’s all there is of his opponent’s beliefs, and of all religion in general.

His first straw man is a model of evil and malevolence, a topic not introduced yet, but Mr. Granewall digresses over to it. It is like saying if both North Korea and the Khmer Rouge claim to be “democratic,” that must mean all “democracy is bad.” He completely ignores the possible explanation that pedophiles (by essential definition, not genuine priests), under a deep guise of a “priesthood,” corrupted and used individual churchmen and children for their own purposes.

No religion is ever guaranteed against any incursion by evil.

His second fallacy is labelling all religion, by implication, as mere fundamentalism, a simplistic, literalistic and willfully ignorant version of “religion.” Few believers in mainstream religion follow simple-minded, literalistic, “inerrant” interpretations of ancient scriptures. He simply paints all members of all religions as moronic followers of a cult of fundamentalism. In all my experience with legitimate religion, I have never met such a person. Labelling them “monuments to ignorance,” he completely ignores the possible role of churches (and buildings) in the

fields of the arts, architecture, institutions with diverse roles, or even the general human need for cultural ceremony.

There are religions of fear, religions of law and morality, and religions of self-realization, the latter especially having the beneficial influence of motivating people to be a little less egotistical, selfish, greedy or vengeful. Not all faiths are based on fear or dogmatic cults, and we don’t need a diatribe which sounds too much like the very same fundamentalist cult propaganda which he bitterly attacks.

Terry Hilmar, New Westminster

Pattullo pledge appeals to NDP’s urban base Continued from page 8 is willing to dive headfirst into the expensive, but politically charged, exercise of building big things where their voters are.

With the Pattullo Bridge riddle now solved, look for the NDP government to ramp up planning for the Broadway subway line and light rail transit lines in Surrey.

Both Vancouver and Surrey are vitally important areas for the NDP, so the government will be eager to court favour in both cities with these megaprojects.

This is all blacktop politics to a point, but it’s also smart politics, as well as a reflection of how urban-centric the NDP has become.

Coun. Bill Harper said the biggest gain from last year’s Innovation Week was the partnerships the city was able to establish through the event.That included con-

“When you really look at it – that’s the basic principle behind why are we doing it and what is the benefit,” he said. “The real benefit is, we have already had some pretty important tech hubs

Community

Pink Shirt Day is a year-round philosophy Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

OnWednesday, Feb. 28, students, teachers and administrators in NewWestminster will wear pink to mark Pink Shirt Day, a campaign of kindness and anti-bullying.

In NewWestminster, however, the spirit of Pink Shirt Day extends beyond a single day.

Twice a year, the New Westminster school district teams up with Family Services, Fraserside Community Services, NewWestminsterYouth Services, New Westminster’s district parent advisory council, NewWestminster Police Department and the NewWestminster Teachers Union to put on Parents’ Night Out. The events offer parents in the community an opportunity to hear from experts about issues affecting youth today. It began 10 years ago to address concerns about crystal meth.Today, one of the topics most requested by parents is social media safety and awareness, according to NewWestminster Police Department’s school liaison officer.

“How do I know that my kids are being safe online?What can you tell me?

What’s out there?What’s posing a danger or threat to my kids?”These are just some of the questions parents ask during the events, said Const. Gerald Lau. “It generates a lot more questions.”

During his day to day work at the local schools, he spends almost half his time talking to students about safe social media use and helping them navigate tricky online situations, he said.

“I just helped out an 11-year-old girl last week with social media because she was way over her head,” he said, adding many teens and pre-teens share too much personal information on social media, leaving them vulnerable to a variety of threats.

It’s because of situations like these that parents need to be informed about social media, Lau argued. His pet peeve, he said, are parents who ignore their kids’ social media use or who don’t know enough to help.

That’s why the Parents’ Night Out events are important, Lau said.

THINK PINK: New Westminster Secondary School students on a previous Pink Shirt Day. The annual anti-bullying campaign returns this year on Wednesday, Feb. 28, and this year’s theme is cyber-bullying. PHOTO RECORD FILES NewWestminster community school coordinator Robin Stewart couldn’t agree more.

“It gives parents access

How Pink Shirt Day began In 2007, Nova Scotia teens David Shepherd and Travis Price organized a high school protest to wear pink in sympathy with a Grade 9 boy who was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt.

Since then, the idea has grown each year, with worldwide support and participation. Countries across the globe are now organizing anti-bullying fundraisers of their own, including Japan, New Zealand, China,

Panama, and numerous others. Last year, people in almost 180 countries shared their support of Pink Shirt Day through social media posts and donations.

This year, Pink Shirt Day is happening Wednesday, Feb. 28, and the focus is cyberbullying.

Official Pink Shirt Day T-shirts, bracelets and pins can be purchased at London Drugs. Proceeds from the sale of official merchandise

are donated to programs supporting children’s healthy self-esteem, teaching empathy, compassion and kindness.

Since 2008, more than $1.8 million has been distributed to support youth anti-bullying programs in British Columbia and throughout Western Canada.

to professionals that they wouldn’t normally get access to,” Stewart said. “(Parents) just sometimes don’t have the time, so we can provide them information which might stoke them to educate themselves on different things,” Lau added.

The events, while aimed at parents, are sometimes open to students, which provides a different dynamic, according to Stewart.

“It’s kind of funny because they want their parents to be aware of what’s going on in the world, but they don’t want to talk to their parents about it,” She said.

But being uncomfort-

able having these kinds of conversations is OK, Stewart said, because one of the goals of Parents’ Night Out is to give parents the tools they need to talk to their kids about issues affecting teens today, including social media.

Stewart, who is a parent herself, said the events have helped her navigate different situations – especially around social media.

“I had the great opportunity to bring my daughter to the workshop we did on social media,” she said, “and it’s funny because every once in a while it comes up.

We did not have a focused one-hour conversation after the night, but occasionally

things will come up.”

Things like Snapchat, she added, which is something Stewart said she’d never have known anything about without having attended Parents’ Night Out. Lau’s advice if any parents out there are contemplating coming out to the next event? Just show up.

The next event is on Thursday, March 1 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Justice Institute of B.C., 715 McBride Blvd.The topic of the evening is understanding anxiety and strategies to support children. It’s sold out already (it sold out in 48 hours), but there might be some extra space, Lau said.

Arts & Entertainment New West photographer earns acclaim overseas Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

A New Westminsterbased photographer is gaining international attention – and opening a new exhibition right here at home at the same time.

Gabor Gasztonyi’s work is featured in Portraits, an exhibition opening March 3 at the Plaskett Gallery in Massey Theatre.The gallery is open Tuesdays through Saturdays and during performances in the Massey Theatre, at 735 Eighth Ave. Call 604-517-5900 or see www.masseytheatre.com for details.

Gasztonyi, who also happens to be a filmmaker, has also been busy overseas. His documentary NoWay Out – which he created with Daryl Bennett – was accepted into the International Filmmaker Festival of World Cinema in London, England.The festival ran from Feb. 10 to 17.

NoWay Out, which was completed in the fall of 2017, is described as an “intimate story of addiction,” interspersing Gasztonyi’s black-and-white images of the Downtown Eastside with the personal stories of two middle-aged couples who began using injection drugs in childhood – capturing the story of their sur-

Community CITY HALL IN BRIEF

Laneway homes proposed for Queen’s Park properties laneway house with three bedrooms, in exchange for long-term legal protection of the 1908 John and Adelaide Jardine House.

The owners of 312 Fifth St. propose to build a oneand-a-half storey laneway house with two bedrooms at the rear of the property and to restore the 1897 William

Townsend residence.

CAPTURING ART Sapperton will be the newest neighbourhood to take part in the Capture Photography Festival.

City council approved a recommendation from the public art advisory committee to approve up to

$20,000 from the city’s public art reserve fund to support a Capture Photography Festival project on East Columbia Street.The festival will take place in April 2018.

Last year, two large-scale photo installations were unveiled in New Westminster; Matthew Brooks’ The Tel-

ephone Salesman is at 350 Columbia St. and James Nizam’s Heliographic Scale is at 610 Sixth St. The 2018 project would see a temporary, large-scale photo installation erected on Sapperton Park’s chain link fence along East Columbia Street.

Rustic. Modern. Italian.

In 1917, one of our forefathers, Giuseppe (Joe) Piva emigrated from northern Italy to interior BC. He spent the next five decades farming cattle, sheep, poultry, fruits and vegetables. Although he did not make his own wine, he grew grapes & provided them to close friends for their own bacchanalian pursuits. Piva honors Joe’s passion for farm fresh ingredients, traditional Italian cooking and exceptionally prepared food and drink with a modern approach.

Our chef works hard, right before your eyes, using consciously sourced ingredients from local farms and artisans.

Community New West residents in Korea for third Olympic Games Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

While athletes from around the world were getting set to descend on Korea for the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics, two New West men were already hard at work getting ready for the big show.

In January, longtime residents Ken Elmer and David MacGrotty departed for Korea, where they are working and volunteering at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics.

They previously worked at the Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014 Olympic Games.

“This is like a real winter Olympics. David and I were in Sochi – it was right on the Black Sea.There were palm trees.We were walking around in our running shoes and our shorts and T-shirts the whole time. Of course, you remember Vancouver – people were cycling around the seawall.

With this one, the high this week is -7 and the low is -16 for the next four days,” Elmer told the Record be-

fore heading out of town. “I had to go buy long johns.

My wife packed me toques and gloves and long socks.

It’s the real deal.Who would have thought snow at the winter Olympics?”

When the Record spoke to Elmer, he wasn’t sure exactly what work he and MacGrotty would be doing at the Winter Olympics.

I had to go buy long johns. … It’s the real deal.

All told, they’ll be in South Korea for 51 days.

“We are helping them set up,” he said. “I ended up driving the NHL VIP guys around last time – Gary Bettman and some of the crew doing the NHL network.We are working and volunteering with NBC when we are over there.”

After the balmy weather conditions in Sochi, temperatures are much different in PyeongChang, dipping well below the freezing mark.

Elmer, who competed in athletics for Canada in the 1972 Olympics in Munich, was last in Korea 30 years ago.

He was in Olympic Stadium for the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics when Canadian Ben Johnson beat American Carl Lewis in the men’s 100 metres – only to be stripped of his medal a couple of days later after testing positive for steroid use.

The PyeongChang Winter Olympics run until Feb. 25.

As of the Record’s deadline on Wednesday, Canada had won a total of 21 medals.

Fun and the Games: Ken Elmer, in back, and David MacGrotty, centre, pose with local volunteers at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Coldest Night of the Year walk supports seniors Fundraiser returns to River Market this Saturday to help combat homelessness among seniors Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Seniors Services Society is hard at work on initiatives aimed at helping the growing number of seniors who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

The society, which is the only society in Metro Vancouver working exclusively with homeless and at-risk seniors, is holding its annual Coldest Night of theYear fundraising walk on Saturday, Feb. 24 at River Market, 810 Quayside Dr. “We are running a walkathon to create awareness and raise funds to combat the plight of homelessness among the senior population in Metro Vancouver,” said Kara-Leigh Bloch, executive director of the Seniors Services Society. “This walk is run all over Canada on the same day – on what they have deemed the cold-

est night. It’s usually quite brisk.”

According to the society, in the last year, its seniors housing programs have delivered individualized housing counselling to more than 2,000 seniors, one-onone housing outreach to

the work needed.

The national Coldest Night of theYear campaign seeks to empower agencies in communities that are working to combat hungry, homeless or hurting folks by raising funds through a walk that takes place on a chilly evening in February. In New Westminster, the Seniors Services Society is raising funds for its homeless outreach program, which provides full-time outreach workers who work specifically with seniors.

“We just recently changed our mandate to working with (seniors) over 60 years of age. Last year we would have been working with those 55-plus, but this year we have seen such a rise in the older senior, the 70-, 80-plus senior and we have changed it to work with 60plus,” Bloch explained. “It’s for providing one-on-one outreach. Basically what

Inspiration Day invites seniors to reflect, laugh If you’re in need of a little inspiration, Century House is the place to be this weekend.

Century House is hosting its annual Inspiration Day on Saturday, March 3 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The annual event aims to inspire local seniors through a variety of different presentations and activities.

“We all need to be reminded to be inspired about life,” said Shelly Schnee, a recreation programmer at Century House. “Inspiration Day helps seniors find inspiration.”

Inspiration Day was originally held in November but is now offered in February at Century House.

“The whole idea is sometimes winter is hard for us,” Schnee said. “It’s nice to find some inspiration on those cold, dark days.”

The day’s lineup includes healthy snacks provided by

Family Services of Greater Vancouver, a mindfulness activity, a visit from Dr. Davidicus Wong, who will share his inspirational look on life, and a performance by the Laughter Zone 101 senior comics, who will share their inspirational humour.

It’s about laughing and having fun with life

“They do some comedy,” Schnee said. “It’s about laughing and having fun with life.”

Tickets are $6.50 for Century House members and $8 for non-members.

Tickets are nearly sold out and unlikely to be available at the door. For more information, call 604-519-1066.

Watch out for these tax scams

The New Westminster Police Department is warning residents about a couple of scams that have been making the rounds around town.

Earlier this month, the local police force posted information on social media about a scam that had been reported.

A resident had received a text message indicating the Canada Revenue Agency had sent an Internet eTransfer and requested they click on the attachment so the agency could deposit the income tax return.

“The CRA does not communicate to you via

text message and will only send payments by direct deposit or by cheque, never by email money transfer,” stated New West Police.

The New Westminster Police Department has also warned residents that it’s seen an increase in reports of scammers who are requesting the virtual currency Bitcoin.

A press release from the police department states scammers will call and identify themselves as employees of the Canada Revenue Agency.

The scammers are able to manipulate their phone numbers, so the call dis-

play can look as if it’s coming from the CRA or a local police department.They tell victims they have overdue taxes and that if they don’t pay immediately they’ll be arrested.

“The Canada Revenue Agency does not want Bitcoin,” Sgt. Jeff Scott said in the press release. “Furthermore, we would like to remind everyone that the CRA does not contact people by telephone and the CRA never arrests anyone for outstanding balances owed.”

To prevent others from falling victim to the CRA scam, police are recom-

mending people talk to elderly friends and family about the scam and how it works.

The police department advises the public that any calls or emails asking for payment in Bitcoin should be treated as a scam.

Anyone who has been victimized by the scam can contact New Westminster Police at 604-525-5411.

Fast facts about the Coldest Night event Registration for the Coldest Night of the Year fundraising walk opens at 4 p.m. at River Market, 810 Quayside Dr. The opening ceremony is at 5 p.m., the walk begins at 5:15 p.m. and registration closes at 6 p.m. A light meal will be served to all walkers

and volunteers beginning at 6 p.m., with the route closing and meal service ending at 8 p.m.

A number of options are available, so you can walk two, five or 10 kilometres. An indoor loop is also available for folks who want to partici-

pate but may have mobility challenges.

The Coldest Night of the Year walk is free for kids up to age 10, $40 (or raise a minimum of $75) for youth aged 11 to 17), and $40 (or raise a minimum of $150) for adults aged 18 and older.

If you can’t take part in the walk, you can support the cause by volunteering at the event or donating to a walker or team.

The Seniors Services Society raised $33,000 at last year’s walk and is aiming to raise $35,000 this year.

Fundraising walk helps at-risk seniors they are just being priced out of the market.”

Because there hasn’t been a lot of movement in subsidized housing, the outreach workers often seek homes for low-income seniors in market housing and help them access subsidies from the provincial government.

Market housing, however, can create some challenges because that’s where renovictions are occurring.

“We do see it and then we have to start the housing search again,” she said.

Everyone is invited to take part in this weekend’s Coldest Night of theYear fundraiser and support local

seniors who may be hungry, homeless or hurting.

“It’s really just everyone coming together. It’s a small walk, but it has such a big impact in terms of being able to house seniors,” Bloch said.

“With that outreach worker, we can probably house about 30 seniors that were homeless and at-risk in one year.That is just to house.To be able to help, there would probably be another 30 or 40 that they can stabilize or help prevent homelessness or empower.

It really does have that nice little impact.”

More and more seniors are finding themselves homeless because of the region’s affordability crisis.

“What is absolutely astonishing was the homeless count that came out in 2017 – 21 per cent of the homeless population is now over the age of 55.That has gone up,” Bloch said. “That is just huge.

One of the most effective ways to get out of debt is through a consumer proposal.

A consumer proposal is a legal agreement negotiated with all unsecured creditors, including the Canada Revenue Agency, that allows a debtor to settle his or her debt for only a portion of what is owed. Under a consumer proposal, the debtor makes one affordable monthly payment over a period of no more than five years, and upon full performance of the proposal, the debtor will be legally released from all unsecured debts.

Community New West folks on hand for torch relay in Korea Theresa McManus

AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Two New Westminster residents were thrilled to be part of a historic event in Korea.

Karen Baker-MacGrotty and David MacGrotty were invited to attend the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Torch relay and Imjin River Classic Hockey Game for Day 80 of the torch relay, which occurred in the remote countryside near the northern

border of South Korea last month. MacGrotty, who is currently working at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics (see related story page 22) took a train to join his wife in Seoul for the event.

“We then travelled by coach bus along with the three Canadian war vets and their family members, who came from Eastern Canada to be honoured, to reach Paju – one-and-a-half hours northeast to Seoul and on the border,” BakerMacGrotty, the honorary colonel of The Royal Westminster Regiment, said in

an email to the Record. “It was very meaningful for us to see firsthand the mountains of North Korea just a few miles away, and barbed wire fencing all along the border.”

In the lead-up to the Winter Olympics, 7,500 runners took part in the 101-day, 2,018-kilometre torch relay.

Coinciding with the torch relay, the Imjin Classic 2018 was held on Jan. 19 to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the end of the Korean War and to pay homage to the competitive spirit of Continued on page 38

Glenbrook students host entrepreneurial fair CLASS ACT

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Glenbrook students are showing off their business skills this week at the second annual Glenbrook Entrepreneurial Fair.

The fair offers students at the middle school a chance to show off their business ideas. Students have prepared a basic business plan and will be selling homemade items or services.

Slime seemed to be the big seller at last year’s event.

Other items have included handmade cards, jewelry, crafts, woodwork and snacks. Oh, and some of the money will go to charity.

Students will donate 10 per cent of their earnings to a charity of their choice, noted an event write-up.

There will also be pizza available for purchase, if you’re hungry.

Everyone is invited to the fair. It’s on today (Thursday, Feb. 22) from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the gym at École Glenbrook Elementary School,

701 Park Cres.

Don’t forget your cash!

HELP OUT THE GRADS Organizers of NewWestminster Secondary School’s annual dry grad celebration are trying something a little different when it comes to fundraising this year.

Dry grad is a supervised, parent-sponsored, drugand alcohol-free event for graduates. It takes place after the cap and gown ceremony in the spring at the Queensborough Community Centre and features food, prizes and activities, including a mechanical bull, hypnotist, photo booth, tattoo artist, food truck and more.

Dry grad is completely organized by parents, and this year, they’re looking to raise $9,000 to fund the celebration. In past years, parents have hosted car washes, pub nights and other community-style fundraisers, but this time they’re hoping to reach friends, family and alumni beyond NewWestminster’s borders by fundraising online throughYouCaring.

Anyone can donate to

the campaign. So far the NWSS dry grad committee has raised more than $1,500 for dry grad – but they still need $7,500.To donate, go to www.youcaring.com/nwss 2018graduates-1020796.

OPINIONS WANTED! Ever wanted to share your ideas with the NewWestminster school board?Well, now’s your chance.

Planning is currently underway for the 2018/19 annual budget, and trustees want to hear from the community about what it wants to see prioritized in the coming year.The 2018/19 budget survey is available online until the end of the month and it is open to any-

one in the community to fill out (because it’s not only parents’ taxes that fund school districts).

Folks will be able to use the survey to share with the district what specific programs, areas or activities they’d like to see additional resources put into.

Anyone completing the survey is asked to read Teaching and Learning in Diverse Classrooms: A District Blueprint for Learner Success, which helps inform the district’s decisions in the budget process. (The report is available at www.tinyurl. com/NWSchoolsReport.)

To complete the survey, go to www.tinyurl.com/ NWSchoolsSurvey.

Community Oscar Night

A pre-Olympic adventure Continued from page 34 the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. Representatives of two Canadian Army regiments, the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry and the Royal 22nd Regiment, were joined by Canadians living in the Republic of Korea and played as Team Canada in a friendly game against Team Corea, made up of university students.

According to a National Defence press release, the Imjin Classic hockey game has been an annual tradition in Canada since 2013.

It’s inspired by the games played on the frozen Imjin River in 1952 and 1953 between the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry and the Royal 22nd Regiment during the Korean War. “Two rival Canadian regiments and two rival university teams all played together in intense competition and then in harmony.The temperature that day was balmy and the ice actually started to melt so the game was called early after the second period.

“Canada won 7-1, but in my opinion the winners of the day were all the participants and the nations involved,” said Baker-MacGrotty.

“David and I were honoured to participate in such a significant event with meaningful purpose and harmonious global intent.”

FESTIVAL OF WORDS

WHAT’S UP? LitFest New West and the Federation of B.C. Writers are joining forces for a first-ever event: the New West Festival of Words. It’s a combination of LitFest and the Federation’s Spring Writes Festival, and it’s all happening here in New West.

WHAT WILL BE INVOLVED? The festival will include a

variety of programming – with readings, storytelling, workshops and discussions, all around the theme of words. There’s also an ongoing short story writing contest for youth and adults.

Events announced by the Federation of B.C. Writers so far include talks by a range of authors: Overcoming Our Fears to Write Powerful

Stories, by Gail AndersonDargatz; Associative Leaps in Poetry, with Rob Taylor; A Guided Hallucination into the Past, with Roberta Rich; and The Unexpected Memoir, with J.J. Lee. There will also be a “writein” event, a casual gathering with writing prompts, writing and sharing, and “blue pen” sessions that will allow writers to have their work read by the pros.

Expect more events to be announced as the date gets closer.

WHERE IS EVERYTHING HAPPENING?

On the waterfront. Events will take place in and around Inn at the Quay and River Market.

WHO CAN TAKE PART? Everyone who’s interested. Whether you’re a visitor or a local, a beginning writer or an experienced one, an amateur or a professional, there will be something to appeal to you.

HOW CAN I FIND OUT MORE? See www.litfestnewwest. com and www.bcwriters.ca/ springwrites2018 for all the details.

Fun with words: A taping of the Pop This! podcast was a highlight of LitFest New West in 2017. Here, Lisa Christiansen, Andrea Warner and author J.J. Lee share some laughs during taping. This year’s New West Festival of Words starts April 13. PHOTO RECORD FILES

Business Wedding show connects couples with vendors

Continued from page 40 are aiming to connect couples to vendors who offer services that will help make their wedding easy, attainable and affordable.

“With affordability being an issue with many young people in the city, and weddings averaging a cost of $30,000, planning a wedding can be very daunting,” says event co-producer Winnie Chick. “The DIY Wedding Show can demonstrate that a beautiful yet low-cost wedding is possible, and in the end, makes the big day a far more personal experience.”

The DIY Wedding Show features food truck vendors (who can cater weddings), a demonstration stage highlighting some of the show’s vendors, and a wedding wishing wall where people can wish to win prizes like customized textile boutonnieres, a DJ package and more.The first 50 people through the door will receive swag bags.

Breanne Dodge, coproducer of the event, said about 16 vendors are expected to attend, including companies providing wedding services such as photography and artisans who offer products that can help couples personalize their wedding day.

“I had the pleasure of catering a wedding at 100 Braid Street while we were searching for a place to host the DIY Wedding Show, and when I walked in it was obvious the space was what we needed,” she said of the venue.

“Not only was it a beautiful and intimate wedding venue, but it was also a workshop space and it is just full of creatives – people who made their life for art. 100 Braid Street Studios screamed everything that we wanted for the DIY Wedding Show, not to mention its central location in the Lower Mainland and its proximity to transit.”

Admission to the DIY

Wedding Show is $5 (https://fieldtripp.com/ events/diy-wedding-show).

All proceeds from the coat check (suggested donation of $2) and a Wedding Wishing Wall (suggested donation of $1 per entry) will go to A Wish to Wed, the event’s not-for-profit partner, which grants weddings to couples facing terminal illness.

Community New Westminster pub tackles overdose crisis

CONSTRUCTION ALERT!

East Columbia Street

Information session set for Saturday at Paddlewheeler Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Another line of cocaine was the last thing a man needed as he lay unconscious in the Paddlewheeler Pub on a busy Friday night before Christmas.

Bar manager Brad McLaren called 911 after attempts to wake up the customer were unsuccessful.

“His buddy is, ‘No, no, he’s fine man. Just leave him. His wife is coming to get him. Maybe he just needs another line,’” McLaren said. “They don’t want to get in trouble, they don’t want you to call the cops or anything like that because they are scared.”

After moving some chairs out of the way so the man could lie on the floor until first responders arrived, an off-duty paramedic, who happened to be at the pub that evening, took control of the situation, speaking to 911 and tending to the man.

“The first responders got here.When they gave him the shot of Naloxone, he sat right up,” McLaren recalled.

“It was like, holy sh**. For the sake of argument, you are pretty much looking at a dead guy on the floor, and then he sits right up and looks at people.They said to him, ‘Welcome back.’ It just seemed so nonchalant, and we are freaking out because it’s the first time it’s hap-

pened in the pub. An hour or two hours later, they are going to do it to somebody else.That’s just going to be part of their night shift. It’s horrible.”

While McLaren was unaware that the man had been doing drugs, he’s not surprised a customer overdosed in the pub.

“It can happen anywhere,” he said. “You don’t know where they are, when it kicks in. I don’t think there’s any rhyme nor rea-

They are playing Russian roulette right now.”

Following the incident, the Paddlewheeler Pub contacted Fraser Health about getting staff trained on the use of Naloxone.

“I had them come into the pub and train us.We now have three kits – one at the pub, one at the liquor store and a spare in my office,” said pub manager Janet Lucarino, adding that overdoses have hit close to home for pub staff. “After we had our training, one of the girls that used to come out for Monday Night Football, she was 33, she died

of an overdose. Just before Christmas one of our server’s brothers overdosed and died.”

The staff training session got Lucarino thinking about how the pub could help the public learn to recognise and respond to an opioid overdose. NewWestminster public health nurses are offering a presentation and providing naloxone training at the pub on Saturday, Feb. 24 at 10 a.m.

“I think it’s a great idea.

If anything it’s just going to inform people,” McLaren said. “I am not one of those people who thinks we should just sweep stuff under the rug. I have four kids.

It could happen to any one of them if they are at a party on a Friday or Saturday night and have had a few drinks and want to try something different. It all depends if that bullet is in the chamber, it seems like. I know friends that have lost kids. I do not want to bury a child.”

If people feel awkward about attending a presentation about the opioid crisis and overdoses, Lucarino said they could just happen to be having breakfast at the pub on Saturday morning.

“It’s a random place that nobody would suspect,” she said. “I just feel it is so important.”

It’s free, and everyone is welcome to drop in.

A series of programs aimed an enhancing this exhibition include a walking tour in the summer.

SPOTLIGHT ON: NEW WEST MUSEUM AND ARCHIVES WHAT’S HAPPENING? The New Westminster and Museum and Archives has unveiled its latest exhibition, Be/Longing, which blends five immersive artworks with community-selected artifacts and stories to explore the layered meaning of home and belonging in contemporary New Westminster. It’s running at the museum until Oct. 7.

TELL ME MORE: A press release states that each artist and community member involved in the exhibition drew upon everyday items, from wind chimes to woven blankets, to illuminate complete patterns of being and belonging.

“This exhibition shows how everyday objects and images have the latent power to tell us more about who we are,” said guest curator Kate Petrusa. “It also shows how to better understand big ideas like identity, inclusion, discrimination, and injustice, in a colonial society.”

City’s waterfront has evolved Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

The recent announcement regarding a new bridge at New Westminster prompted much thought about other earlier announcements that have also taken place on this city’s waterfront.

It pays to remember, when thinking back in this manner, that the line of the docks on the waterfront has changed a great deal.

Some gatherings were on the wharves built out into the river, while others were at the actual shoreline very close to the rail line, the old line of Front Street, and the actual river’s edge.

In terms of river crossings, there would have been gatherings to announce the operation of the couple of simple ferry boats that carried “traffic” (wagons, livestock, cargo, and people) between New Westminster and Surrey from the 1880s to the early 1900s.

We get ready … to watch history unfold one more time. And to say in later years: I saw it happen.

In the early 1900s, the first of what we might consider major decisions regarding the river and crossings was announced, pointing to the doubledecked structure we now refer to as the old rail bridge, then the New Westminster Bridge, which began service in 1904.

It has provided road and rail crossing of the Fraser since that time, although the road aspect was replaced in the 1930s by today’s Pattullo Bridge.

There most certainly would have been public announcements at that time to discuss the new modern structure that would connect both sides of the Fraser. It would link the rapidly expanding highway system

of the time in joining B.C. to the U.S. through the border into Washington State and, for those south of the line, north to the Lower Mainland and Vancouver.

The last crossing announcement near this same location on the local waterfront prior to the most recent one would have been for SkyBridge and the linking of the SkyTrain system into Surrey.

At that point, there would be three crossings in view with memories of the two earlier ferries passing quietly underneath.

Another major public announcement to take place on the waterfront was the formal marking of the harbour facilities and system when the mayor of the day,

Wells Gray, started everything off by opening up the steam to a pile driver that hammered in the first of many thousands of piles.

So much over the history of this city has taken place with a river connection of some sort.

From the earliest docking improvements to wharf expansions, from industries to ship handling facilities, from operations areas for government vessels such as the Samson V and the Essington, from public amenities to massive housing initiatives, right up to the present day, gatherings and “ribbon cuttings” have met on the waterfront to introduce a project to come. Just last week the latest of these took place.

And now, like many, many times in the past, we get ready to watch it happen; to take photos as things start to change; to watch history unfold one more time. And to say in later years: I saw it happen.

ASK A REALTOR When can we expect the detached housing market to bounce back?

It’s already started! The most affordable well-kept homes in the city are experiencing considerable upward pressure on pricing. Typically, this is where upswing in markets generate from. I have DERRICK THORNHILL participated in several multiple offer Park Georgia Realty situations in this segment of the market in the past few weeks, some selling upwards of $70K over list price. As we move through spring, we will find this pressure work upwards through the market until May and June where, at the top of the market, our $2M inventory will finally start getting attention from serious buyers.

The escalating value of strata properties will give our detached market a push this spring. After all, if history has taught us anything, you can’t keep Greater Vancouver land values in check for more than a couple of years without witnessing another boom in value.

Whether you are taking part in our supervised daily exercise or yoga classes, the volunteer bible study, playing billiards or taking up painting in our arts and craft centre, your time spent at The Derby Manor will be filled with rewarding activities. The Derby Manor has its own bus transportation and three times a week the residents are swept off to another adventure; it could be a trip to the museums and parks, or a drive across town to watch a live theater production or a trip to the casino or the local malls for shopping, either way there is always something to do at The Derby Manor.

The Derby Manor is a leader in the retirement community with our inter-generational “Buddy Program”. A senior resident is paired up with a high school volunteer who will teach the residents to navigate the computer, open a face book account or learn to Skype so they can talk to their grandchildren more often. This way the residents can learn to surf the net in safety and the high school volunteers learn the benefits of patience and understanding.

If anything, a friendship is formed between generations. Because senior loneliness is an epidemic in our society, the Derby Manor has opened this program up to all the seniors who live in our area.

We are looking to replace our backyard deck. What are the pros and cons as well as the economics of different deck surfaces?

If you are looking to work with a wood product, pressure treated lumber is going to be your cheapest JACOB NEUFELD option. It won’t require a lot of Owner Operator maintenance but is not as visually pleasing as other lumber. Also with time it tends to become quite slippery when weathered. The most common choice is Cedar and is most preferred due to the look, work ability of the material and ability to stain a certain color or shade to match your vision.

Always remember that you will need to re finish every few years to keep it looking fresh. There are also composite products that look fantastic as well. Feel free to contact us for outdoor projects this spring.

My veterinarian is recommending stool testing. I don’t see any worms in the stool so is this necessary?

Stool samples are sent to a laboratory where a pathologist checks the sample under a microscope. Stool DR. MANJU ARORA parasites in our area include roundworm eggs, tapeworm eggs, hookworm eggs, Giardia (‘beaver fever’), and coccidia. All of these parasites can infect humans and stool sampling should be done routinely. Tablet dewormers do not kill parasites other than worms, so it is important to check for other infections. A dog can have a stool infection and not act sick. Worm eggs are microscopic and are not visible in the stool.

The actual worms will not be visible in the stool unless there is a very large worm burden and then they can appear in the stool or vomit.

How Do I plan for the care of my aging parents?

Start with the following few tips:

1. Talk to your parents or family members before a crisis situation.

With this conversation you will better understand the true wishes of your aging family members. Discuss health insurance, Independent/Assisted Living, Long-term or in-home care options, and important legal documents.

2. Locate any community resources that may be available to you and your family. Senior Support Services, Meals on Wheels, and Adult Day Care Facilities. You can access many of these services via the local hospital or skilled nursing facility discharge planners, or senior’s citizen centres.

3. Ask friends and family for help. Ask them what experiences they have had with some of the community services. Many of these people may have already gone through this and can be of assistance.

Oreo came to us for help to find a new home due to her owner’s declining health. It’s been quite a shock for Oreo because she was only five weeks old when she was adopted. Other than being a little plump she passed all her vet tests, but she’s definitely going to need reducing diet food. Oreo doesn’t enjoy the company of other cats. She’s got a strong personality and lets you know if she’s not pleased, but she really enjoys the company of humans.

Bounce-back effort nets Hyacks’ BC berth NewWest knocks off McMath to finish third

By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Under the radar, the New Westminster Hyacks have just gone about their business of climbing the ladder and targeting a berth to next month’s provincial AAA senior girls basketball championships.

Despite going through three-quarters of the season with but two losses to their name, New West received little love from the high school ranking gurus.

They’ll keep on plugging along, but now will do it against the cream of the crop as the Hyacks won a spot to next week’s B.C. tournament in Langley by finishing third at the Lower Mainland championships last week.

By stopping McMath 62-52 on Saturday, New West corralled the zone’s final berth to the big tournament, which runs Feb. 28 to March 2.

There were some speed bumps along the way, most noticeably a 69-41 loss to Argyle in the semifinal, but it all came out good after the Royal City crew rallied and peeled off two straight wins to earn its

way back to the B.C.s after a year away.

“We had a 15-point lead (over McMath) at halftime, and they came within five points by starting to press,” New West coach Doug Woodward said. “But we didn’t fold, we kept making our free throws, and they had to foul us to get the ball back.”

Mia Obrovac counted a team-high 21 points in the win, while Sarah Forgie counted 19 and Devin Strome chipped in nine. Forgie, who averaged 18.7 points per game over the four-game series, joined Strome on the Lower Mainland all-star team.

To cut the pollsters some slack, no Lower Mainland team has been among the top-10 list since Carson Graham, who finished second at the tourney, was seeded 10th on Dec. 20. And yes, New West, at 30-3 overall, was given a nod of respect this past week when for the first time they made the ‘Honourable Mentions,’ joining fellow zone rivals Argyle and Graham.

After Argyle served up New West’s third loss of the season in the semifinal last Thursday, the Hyacks were in mustwin territory. And they responded resoundingly, bouncing Lord Byng 64-28 to draw into the third-place game. “(Argyle) just out-played us,” said Woodward. “They shot really well, they out-hustled us and we were down 20-6 before we knew what hit us.We couldn’t hit anything; the only thing we hit was the the backboard from behind.”

Coming to the fore during the last two wins were Forgie, Strome and international student Kanon Imachi, who drew some tough assignments on defence.

“She’s why we beat (Carson) Graham last month,” the coach said. “We put her on their best post player, and despite the height difference (Imachi stands five-foottwo) she got on her nerves. She’s really irritating for the opposition.”

Without feeling much love most of the year from those who have a say in the ranking, New West will get their best chance to prove them wrong when the B.C.s start up. It won’t be easy.

Douglas College stakes out favourite spot at provincials

By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Excellence isn’t easy to forecast, but the Douglas College Royals women’s volleyball team is going to give it a go.

Fresh off of dominating the PacWest League’s regular season, with a 21-3 record and dropping only 20 out of 92 sets, the Royals enter this week’s provincials with a full head of steam.

They are motivated to get back to the B.C. final after a hardfought but disappointing loss last year. Advancing to the nationals is a treasured goal, and one within their grasp. Most importantly, they have worked towards it all season.

Co-captain Claudia Corneil

says with the playoffs, it is crucial that no one has a preconception of how it will go. Expectations, when not coupled with action, are minefields for the favoured and ranked.

Douglas, which has sat atop the national CCAA rankings since the start of the month, is an obvious target for any hard-working underdog. Corneil said no matter who stands on the other side, it is the Royals’ role to be ready to get the job done.

“We’re really just focusing on our side of the net. Especially provincials, it really is a weekend of unpredictable matches,” said the third-year blocker. “None of the games in the past matter, so if we just stay consistent on our side and don’t change, regardless of

who’s on the other side of the net and what they’re doing, I think we’ll be fine and we’ll find success at the end.”

Douglas defeated Capilano 3-1 and 3-2 last week to wrap up the regular season. It was a weekend where those players not returning, and those who’ve been in supporting roles, got more floor time.

It meant Saturday’s final, which came to a fifth set, decided 15-13 for the Royals, had them fired up to finish on a high note.

The emotion of the final home game for some fell into the background with the game on the line.

“Thinking that maybe we’re going to give it up to Capilano was not really an option for us, but I think that only clicked in in that

fifth set when we knew it was make or break at that point,” said Corneil.

This year’s charge has been led by a whole crew, with first-year players sharing turning point moments with third-year vets. Among those who’ve stepped into the spotlight and garnered plenty of notice, from opposing players and coaches, have been Vania Oliveira and Caet McCorkell.

Oliviera, a rightside standout from Brazil, has grown into a bigplay role for the squad and was named the PacWest’s Player of the Year, as well as a first-time all-star spot, alongside teammate Jane Kepler.

“We call her our spicy Brazilian, because Vania just does her own

thing out there,” said Corneil with a laugh. “She goes out, bangs balls and we know what to expect from her. … She’s been great and has really developed herself as a player – being more smart with her shots, not always going up there swinging but tipping.”

Oliviera placed fourth in the league in kills, averaging 3.14 per set, and total offensive stats. A week ago she was the league’s Player of the Week, having sparked Douglas past No. 2 Vancouver Island in twin sweeps in Nanaimo.

McCorkell, from Kamloops, has gone from freshman to powerhouse as an outside hitter en route to claiming the top rookie award.

“We all knew what (McCorkell) Continued on page 51

Royals ready for final run

Continued from page 50 was capable of but we were just waiting for her to come out of her shell, just give some fiery energy and even a bit of attitude (at the start of the year). She doesn’t have any attitude at all but just watching her come into her own confidence, there has been a huge difference for her,” said Corneil.

McCorkell finished second in kills (3.38 average), fourth in aces and second overall offensive production. Corneil stood second overall in digs per set (3.90), while second-year blocker Olivia Cesaretti was thirdbest in the league in blocks (0.75 per set).

Those were the leaders, but Corneil said, even as cocaptain, her team didn’t rely upon any leader or leaders to push the message.

“The strength of this team is, I’d say, is definitely that we are a group of 17 leaders. ... Each one of these girls has such a big personality and is capable of leading this team. I think that really sets us apart. No one is leading anyone, we’re all

kind of leading ourselves and driving off of each other and I think that’s where we’re finding most of our success,” she said.

Wearing the target this weekend as the favourite means they’ll get their chance.While oddsmakers would plug them into the final, Corneil said no one gets a bye and it will all come down to who can take three games first, starting on opening day.

“We already know we can beat all the teams in our

league but like I said, the provincials are so unpredictable.Teams come out and play like they never have all season.We just need to be prepared to play whoever it is and bring our A game,” said Corneil.

The provincials begin on Friday for Douglas, when they will face the winner between Fraser Valley and College of the Rockies at 6 p.m. at the Valley campus.

The championship game is slated for 6 p.m. on Saturday.

Hyacks return to BCs

Continued from page 50 “There are eight (Fraser) Valley teams, with two winning the last wildcard games,”Woodward noted.

“They are all intense, they all practise hard, they have a lot of club players.You need a team game and hopefully some others can step up.”

The draw was held late Wednesday (after the Record’s deadline) to determine who the Hyacks will meet in the opening

round.

The next week will provide a lot of valuable practice time for the seniorheavy lineup, who like Woodward are looking at their final trip to the B.C.s.

“Every game will be an underdog situation for us,” said Woodward. “We want to be competitive every game and if we didn’t get much respect during the season we’ll earn it there.”

FUNERAL SERVICES

THOMPSON , Thora “Amma” Kapitola Amma was our sunshine.

She sang “I was born about ten thousand years ago, there’s nothing in this world that I don’t know”.

She was extraordinary, she was a cheeky monkey, we adored her.

She loved to sing, dance, have fun and eat chocolate but every day she made sure she made someone else’s day a little brighter.

She is lovingly remembered by her daughters Janet, Diane and Karen, her “precious little darlings” Patricia (granddaughter) and Christopher (grandson) and very close cousins, nephews and nieces. Amma was predeceased much too early by her beloved husband Murdo Thompson and son-in-law Doug Webb, and outlived many close friends and relatives including her dear friend and sister-in-law Katie McAskill.

Amma was of proud Icelandic decent and born on December 15, 1924 in Lundar, Manitoba. She often told people she was named after Thor, the God of Thunder. She grew up in Lundar, as a strong prairie woman, and moved to Winnipeg and then Vancouver in 1953 where she met and married Murdo. They made their home in North Burnaby. She spent her last days at Fellburn Care Centre in Burnaby where she had volunteered for decades and where her name is on wall for her years of service. She had been Burnaby’s Star Volunteer more than once.
