Mayoral candidates weigh in on high school

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The replacement of New Westminster Secondary School has surfaced as an issue in the civic election race.

The replacement school was the top Hot Button issue for education among readers who responded to a recent online survey conducted by The Record. It also surfaced as a concern at a recent mayoral forum, when a community member said the aging NWSS is an “embarrassment” and questioned what mayoral candidates would do to address the project.

“I think the high school is one of the most important issues facing our community,” said Coun. Jonathan Cote, who is running for mayor. “My oldest daughter is seven years old. When she was first born I joked that that high school better be done by the time she is in high school.

Unfortunately, it’s becoming a little less funny.”

Cote pointed out that the high school isn’t a city-funded or city-designed project but is a provincial and school board project.

“Having said that, if elected mayor I will

do everything I am able to do to make sure that that project moves ahead, whether it’s ensuring the city is flexible with zoning or to move that through the development process as quickly as possible. The city has already exchanged land on the site to make it easier for the province and school board to move ahead with the project,” he said.

“I think we need to make sure we continue to push and advocate for the high school because although our high school is filled with a lot of great teachers, the building is a disgrace.”

Incumbent Mayor Wayne Wright said the school is his top priority if he’s re-elected on Nov. 15. While the city doesn’t have authority over the school board, Wright thinks his connections in Victoria will be helpful.

“If I pick up the phone and call any minister I get an answer. The reason being I have been there so long they all get to know me, we’ve all worked together,” he said.

“When you go to them, there is no confrontation there. It’s a discussion.”

A passion for city building: Jonathan Cote is a three-term city councillor who has set his sights on the mayor’s chair in this race. Cote, who lives in New Westminster with his wife and three young children, met with reporter Theresa McManus to talk about the personal and the political. He’s the first in our series of profiles of mayoral candidates.

Passionate about better cities

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Jonathan Cote wants to do what he can to make the world a better place – starting right here in New Westminster.

The three-term city councillor said he’s running for mayor for the same reason he’s served on city council and returned to Simon Fraser University to get his master’s degree in urban studies: to help build a better city.

“I have a passion for city building and what cities can do to make the lives of everyone better,” he said. “How a city is planned, developed and designed has a huge impact on people’s lives. It has an impact on their happiness. It has an impact on how they get around.

It has a huge impact on their health. So designing a city that has good urban design, proper green spaces, really touches on so many different aspects of people’s lives.”

In the weeks leading up to the Nov. 15 election, Cote has been releasing platforms on several issues facing the city: transportation; local economy; public engagement; parks and recreation; and a community that cares.

“We can’t plan the future of our community ad hoc. We actually need to put in some

serious thought. I think we need a mayor to really give the time and thoughtfulness that really needs to go into the proper planning of the future of our city,” he said. “We face a lot of real long-term and complex challenges in our city, and I personally believe I am the best person to actually be able to lead a city to deal with and work with those issues.”

Cote was born in New Westminster but lived in a number or Lower Mainland municipalities with his family. Now a father of three young daughters, he and wife Alix moved to New Westminster 12 years ago after booking their wedding at the Inn at the Quay and falling for the city.

“New West had this sense of charm and this sense of place and really drew us as a young couple wanting to start our lives,” he said. “Part of what we saw, being a younger couple too, was it had potential. It had its commercial main streets. It had a bit of grit to it.”

Cote said the city has changed a lot from the days when his wife didn’t feel safe walking the few blocks home from the SkyTrain station and now walks through the same neighbourhood with their kids. While the city has made progress, he thinks there’s more to be done.

“We don’t necessarily need the person that is going to be the best cheerleader for the City of New Westminster,” he said. “We need someone that actually understands and cares about the policies that are really going to build our city into the future and will determine whether 25 years from now we have a city that we can be proud of or activity that has maybe made a lot of mistakes down the road.”

With transportation being the most important issue facing our city, Cote said it would be his top priority as mayor.

“I think it’s critically important for the City of New Westminster to develop an efficient network to help move both people and goods through our city, but we cannot do that at the expense of our neighbourhoods and our commercial main streets,” he said. “I think it is also important that the city work to provide convenient and accessible transportation options to our residents.”

On the economic front, Cote believes it’s critical for the city to preserve and protect its existing commercial and industrial lands.

“There is tremendous pressure in our city to convert those lands to condo development,”

Cote: ‘I think I have proven myself over my nine years’ ◗ continued from page 3

he said. “I truly believe the city is not in the business of selling condos. …

If you really want to create a livable, vibrant city, it’s got to have a good mix of employment and residents.

It’s also so important for our tax base.”

Getting started on redevelopment of Canada Games Pool in the next four years is at the top of Cote’s to-do list.

Other ideas that Cote is putting forward in his campaign include looking into offering a residentsonly pass for free parking on weekends, getting a city “community engagement truck” out into the community and exploring the idea of a bike lift that would help cyclists

get from downtown New Westminster to Tipperary Park.

“I don’t think the City of New Westminster needs to reinvent the wheel when we are planning the future of our city,” he said. “Cities all around the world are dealing with the exact same challenges we are. I think having a good understanding and knowledge about how other cities are dealing with the same problems is a lot of where my ideas come from.”

Looking back on his nine years on council, Cote said his proudest accomplishments include developing Westminster Pier Park into a park for all residents to enjoy, instead of more highrises on the waterfront.

He is also proud to have been part of a council that helped reduce the street homeless population in New Westminster by 50 per cent, rather than blame other levels of government for the issue and turn a blind eye to its impacts on the city.

While he’s been supportive of the major projects undertaken by council, such as Westminster Pier Park and Anvil Centre and the office tower, Cote said it’s time to focus on New Westminster’s existing facilities and aging infrastructure.

“I think the city always needs to be mindful of the money it is spending and the projects it is moving forward. I think moving forward, the city shouldn’t

be looking for that next really big or exciting project,” he said. “My platform is really focusing on our existing facilities and finishing off long-standing plans in the city. I think we also need to be creative on how we raise funds.”

As a three-term councillor, Cote said he’d bring a collaborative leadership style to the mayor’s office and recognize city hall is a team.

He thinks that’s backed up by the fact that the four incumbents seeking reelection are supporting his campaign.

“My leadership style isn’t about who can be the loudest or make the most noise; it’s how do you effectively move council toward where the team

wants to move,” he said. “I think I have proven myself over my nine years on council.”

Kainth throws support behind Wayne Wright

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Mayoral candidate Jonathan Cote may have the support of four of his council colleagues in his bid to be the city’s next mayor, but incumbent mayor Wayne Wright has the support of longtime New Westminster resident Tej Kainth.

Kainth, who is a first-time candidate for city council, will be putting her X next to Wright when she votes for mayor on Nov. 15.

“It took hard work to get New Westminster to be the city it is today – a city that’s rapidly attracting new families and new businesses, a city with a thriving downtown, and a city that is a long way from where it was 10 years ago,” she said in a press release. “Wayne Wright had the vision to do that. He has steadfastly believed in the city and led us to where we are today. He has a proven track record, and I know he’s just getting started.”

As well as his commitment to smart growth and economic development, Kainth said Wright shares her passion for empowering youth and engaging all residents, regardless of their age.

“As executive director of Tourism New Westminster, and as a community volunteer, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Wayne often over the years,” she said. “Whenever I’ve talked to him about

my ideas for celebrating young professionals, such as the NEXT Up awards and NEXT New West, he’s been incredibly supportive, offering advice and encouraging others to participate. And when I introduced the Key to the City program, Wayne was the first person to get a key and support local businesses.”

Kainth often jokes that if New Westminster was a man, she’d marry him, but she believes Wright gives her a run for her money when it comes to being passionate about the city.

According to Kainth, Wright was her choice for mayor when she voted as a first-time elector and he’s still her first choice today.

She said she respects all candidates in the upcoming election and would be especially honoured to serve with Wright.

“Electing Wayne is electing continued strong leadership, action and success,” Kainth said. “I want to spark excitement, engagement, and conversations – and see Wayne lead the way in doing that.”

OUR VIEW

social problems we face, this is taking us further in the wrong direction.

Not long before he died, then-finance minister Jim Flaherty did something few in his party ever do and publicly questioned the wisdom of the policy being pushed by the prime minister.

Packaged with the announcement, however, was the news that Conservatives are also upping the universal child-care benefit for families with kids under six to $160 per month.

Granted, it’s harder to find fault with

that.

But the government is engaging in bureaucratic gymnastics, making the change effective Jan. 1 – and then issuing retroactive payments in July 2015 in order to make sure the cheques start arriving right around the same time the election signs do.

That would leave a cynic questioning the government’s motives. But since we’re not cynics, we’ll just choose to believe Stephen Harper has families’ best interests at heart.

Climate change won’t be a factor IN THE HOUSE

T

KEITH BALDREY

here has been some wellreasoned and pointed criticism aimed at the B.C. Liberal government’s never-ending push to establish a liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry in this province, particularly on the issue of whether that industry will hinder attempts at fighting climate change.

But critics who assail the government with the argument that boosting LNG at the expense of increasing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) are missing a key, central point: the B.C. Liberals are not nearly as interested in curbing GHGs as they are in creating a new revenue stream for government.

While the NDP, the Pembina Institute and Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver all pitch valid critiques of the government’s recently unveiled legislation that established the “rules” when it came to emissions from LNG operations, they fell on deaf government ears.

The B.C. Liberals, like the Social Credit dynasty they were borne from, are driven by a central philosophical tenet: in order to do anything in this province, they must hold political power.

Everything the government does flows from this realization, that political power drives public policy and not the other way around.

The B.C. Liberals know they were elected not by those with an intense interest in fighting climate change, but by those whose top priority was doing whatever it takes to ensure a growing economy.

The debates that take place in Kitsilano Starbucks outlets are less relevant than ones you hear in coffee shops and bars in Surrey, Kamloops, Prince George and Kelowna.

On paper, the government says it is still committed to reducing GHG emissions by 33 per cent (from 2007 levels) by the year 2020. Whatever. It is a toothless, paper commitment and nothing more.

The 2017 election will not feature GHG emissions and climate change as its central, vote-determining issues and it’s unlikely the election after that one will either, and the B.C. Liberals are well aware of that. They also know that the vast majority of voters have little concept of, say, “one ton of greenhouse gas emissions” and can’t equate that with something easier to visualize, like a pay cheque for example.

None of this is to suggest that folks like Weaver are incorrect in their conclusion that those lofty targets for cutting GHG emission levels can’t be met with a growing LNG industry. It’s rather that

In response to the question: Party? In my naïvete, as a first-time candidate, I filled in “n/a” as there are no civic political parties in New Westminster.

Judging from the numbers of calls and questions I have received about myself and inquiring about other candidates, I now realize that what the public expects in response to that question is whether or not you are endorsed by any particular association and/or part of a slate. I should have answered: “independent.”

‘Party’ status is misleading

include a photo of his team (slate) which includes: Cote, Jaimie McEvoy, Bill Harper, Lorrie Williams, Mary Trentadue, Chuck Puchmayr and Patrick Johnstone – all of whom are obviously working very closely together and are endorsed by the same interests (i.e. New Westminster and District Labour Council). From the calls I am getting I would say that information is what the public expected to see on the profiles.

Kudos to Harper for being the most forthcoming by answering “No civic party, but I am Labour endorsed.” The rest of the members on Cote’s team/ slate answered: “No Municipal Party,” “NDP,” “n/a” or “independent.” I think The Record should invite all candidates to revisit the “party” question to ensure that the answer accurately reflects the candidates’ true status.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Sapperton is losing out

Dear Editor:

In 2006/07, Sapperton residents expressed concerns about proposed building heights on the Brewery site (eight, 12, 16, and 28 to 30 storeys, with the shortest at the foot of Alberta Street, where there was greatest risk of destroying views).

In response, the city allowed Wesgroup to transfer space from the tallest building to the lower buildings. Wesgroup took this as permission to do whatever they wanted, regardless of residents’ wishes, and now plan three 18-storey buildings and a 30storey one.

On Oct. 28, 2014, I attended the design panel meeting at city hall, specifically for the presentation related to this site and the construction of Building 4, the first highrise to be built, at the foot of Alberta.

Several issues emerged: 1) The meeting focused not on the buildings and their effect on the community, nor on the inevitable increase in traffic resulting from this development, but on incidentals, such as tree types and roof style.

2) Wesgroup presented illustrations of the shadows that the first new highrise building would cause, leaving out illustrations of shadows before 10 a.m. If you walk down Simpson Street at about 7 a.m., shadows of the current structures on the Brewery site extend quite far up the street. How far up Alberta Street will shadows from an 18-storey extend? How could Wesgroup exclude such important information from both the design panel and Sapperton residents?

3) Wesgroup spoke at length about the wonderful views this building would offer.

No doubt. These are views that Sapperton

residents know well – and will lose. Why are views of newcomers prioritized over those of current residents? What about the iconic view from the Fraser Cemetery, enjoyed by those from all over New West (and beyond)? Doesn’t the city care?

4) Another presenter raved on about amenities – for those in the condos only, not for Sapperton residents. Sapperton residents’ concerns regarding height, placement and traffic should be addressed before condo purchasers’ amenities.

5) Two members of the design panel asked about the concerns that the McBride Sapperton Residents’ Association expressed in a recent letter. City employee Jim Hurst skirted the issue, making it sound as though residents’ concerns were addressed with the increased height of the three shorter buildings to 18 storeys while maintaining the original 30 storeys of the tallest building, which is blatantly untrue. Residents take issue with these heights. How dare Mr. Hurst misrepresent residents’ concerns on such an important issue? His job is not to play the role of Wesgroup’s salesperson.

City council must acknowledge and address Sapperton residents’ concerns, remedy the situation and prevent such bait-and-switch transactions from occurring again.

Design panel members must be made fully aware of residents’ concerns.

As for Wesgroup? Why are they deliberately misleading us? None of their current marketing material shows the revised building heights; they continue to reflect the plans of seven years ago. Would you buy a condo from a developer who blatantly misled community members at the design phase?

Liberals: Audit finds interesting facts ◗ continued from page 6

in the stark world of political reality, their arguments aren’t necessarily that politically relevant. !

Some interesting financial nuggets have been unearthed by B.C. Auditor General Carol Bellringer in her massive audit of the government’s 2013/14 financial statements.

She highlighted three different unusual aspects of the government’s budgeting methods, and in her report dutifully noted that the financial statements “can tell an interesting story.” Why, yes they can.

For example, she noted the government is paying significantly higher interest rates on the debt it accumulates from public-power partnerships than it does on its own borrowing.

While the interest rates on regular government debt averages about four

per cent, those rates average more than seven per cent on P3 projects (and in one case exceeded 14 per cent).

Interesting, the government – which has the ability to reply to an auditor general’s findings within the report itself – chose to stay silent on this point in her report.

She also tallied up the incentives paid to the oil and gas industry over the past five years. The incentives are credits designed to encourage the production of oil and gas, and the total has now ballooned to $1.25 billion.

While it’s no doubt true that a lot of companies wouldn’t be as active in gas exploration without those credits, that $1.25 billion can be deducted from future royalty payments, which means a lot of natural gas will have to be extracted before the gov-

ernment even sees a nickel from many companies operating in the sector.

Bellringer noted last year’s budget included revenue generated by the sale of more than $600 million in public assets, and she rightly pointed out those were one-time sales that can’t generate similar revenue in the future.

That was not a new observation (many people pointed this out when Finance Minister Mike de Jong tabled the 2013-14 budget) but it serves as a reminder how difficult it may be to balance future budgets.

This was Bellringer’s first major report on government finances since she was appointed auditorgeneral at the end of May, and it’s an encouraging sign that she’s going to be a force to be reckoned with.

New publisher at the helm There’s a new face at the helm of The Record, now that longtime publisher Brad Alden has retired.

Alvin Brouwer, president of Lower Mainland Publishing, is now publisher of both The Record and Burnaby NOW, and sales and marketing director Lara Graham is associate publisher.

“I’m an enthusiastic optimist, and I really believe in our industry,” Brouwer said. “I also believe we really have to accelerate our efforts on the digital side, which is what we are starting to do.”

Brouwer has a long history in the newspaper business. He spent 25 years at Metroland Media, a community newspaper chain in Ontario, then moved to Postmedia to become president of business ventures

Lara Graham

before joining Glacier.

Lower Mainland Publishing is Glacier’s community newspaper division. Brouwer is also president of Glacier Media Digital and publisher for the Delta Optimist.

Brouwer said readers can expect to see accelerated efforts on the digital media side while he is publisher.

“Although it’s a good paper today, I think it’s going to be a better paper,” he said.

Meanwhile, Graham will maintain her role as sales and marketing director in New Westminster and Burnaby, a post she’s held for the past eight years, while she takes on more responsibility as associate publisher.

“I’m really excited to be given this opportunity as associate publisher.

Working with the president of our company is an added bonus,” Graham said, adding that readers can expect to see exciting changes in the next few months.

Both Brouwer and Graham will be attending public functions on behalf of the newspaper.

The two took over their new responsibilities following the retirement of Alden, who spent more than two decades in the industry.

Forum: Candidates face off over NWSS ◗ continued from page 1

candidate James Crosty said he’s disappointed he hasn’t been able to get the school built until now.

Crosty is concerned the province has now requested more information about New Westminster Secondary School.

(As previously reported in The Record, a detailed report is being done that will include the scope of the project, the estimated budget and potential issues associ-

ated with the replacement of the aging school.)

Crosty fears the report will indicate the existing school is at “moderate risk” in an earthquake and will be deemed safe, even though it has many deficiencies.

“My worst fear is that they are going to say it needs to be fixed up,” he said.

Vladimir Krasnogor said the high school is “an embarrassment” and the replacement has gone on for far too long.

Election: Wright’s signs approved ◗ continued from page 5

The meeting is being held on Monday, Nov. 10 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the New Westminster Evangelical Free Church, 7895 Canada Way (just across the 10th Avenue border in Burnaby).

Can’t get out that night? Not to worry, the Moody Park Residents’ Association is partnering with NewWest.tv, which will provide a live video stream of the all-candidates meeting on the web.

“Viewers will also be able to follow the event live on Twitter through @ newwestdottv,” said residents’ association president Christopher Bell in an email candidates.

“This will be an exciting chance to get your message out to the whole New Westminster community, and we look forward to seeing you all on the 10th of November.”

Coming just days before the Nov. 15 civic election, it could be the final in a series of all-candidates meetings for mayor, council and school trustees.

More signage needed

You’re not wrong if you think the election signs look a little wordier than in past years.

All signs must meet a new requirement that states they must include the name of their financial agent on the sign.

That means folks who are reusing signs from past elections must ensure they’re updated to include the information.

A number of changes are in place for the 2014 civic elections, including the need for every candidate to have a financial agent (they can do it themselves), who keeps track of contributions and expenses and files the disclosure statements following the election.

ELECT

Incumbent mayor Wayne Wright has trimmed back the signs in his campaign office.

The city’s election office had received a complaint that signs in Wright’s campaign office on Carnarvon Street exceeded the size limits in the election signage guidelines. Staff measured the signs, confirmed they were too big and returned to ensure the signs complied with the guidelines.

“The signs are all in compliance,” said Veronika Metchie, the city’s acting manager of licensing and integrated services.

Meet with Mary

Council candidate Mary Trentadue is offering 32 Minutes With Mary in the lead-up to the civic election.

Trentadue will hold 32 Minutes With Mary meetings in various locations in the city. She states that Trentadue means 32 in Italian and 32 Books was the name of her award-wining bookstore in North Vancouver.

“In my previous experience as a city councillor, I enjoyed the opportunity to engage people on shared values and priorities the most,” she said in a press release. “I have been knocking on literally hundreds of doors over the past weeks, but I want to engage those that I haven’t yet been able to connect with. As a mother of a young son and a business owner, I believe I bring a unique perspective, and I look forward to sharing my ideas and hearing those of others.”

For more details on where and when you’ll be able to meet with Trentadue, drop her an email at mary.trentadue@ gmail.com.

Marvellous musical takes to the stage

New West director at helm of new Footlight Theatre production

BY JULIE MACLELLAN REPORTER jmaclellan@royalcityrecord.com

A New Westminster director is at the helm as Footlight Theatre returns to the stage with a new musical at the Shadbolt Centre.

The Burnaby theatre company is staging The Marvelous Wonderettes, opening tomorrow (Thursday, Nov. 6) in the Shadbolt’s James Cowan Theatre.

Wayne Nolan, newly arrived in the Royal City from Ottawa,

is directing the production, which stars Katherine Alpen, Sabrielle McCurdy-Foreman, Carolyn Bergstrand and Stefania Wheelhouse.

The four appear as members of Springfield High School’s 1958 Songleader Squad, who are pressed into service at the senior prom when the group originally scheduled to perform is forced to drop out. The first act takes them to the prom; in the second, they’re back together at their 10year reunion.

Along the way, audiences are treated to a hit parade of songs from the era, including Mr. Sandman, Lipstick on Your Collar,

It’s My Party, Lollipop and more.

“A lot of the songs are familiar,” says Susan Reid, president of the Footlight board. “The music is unbelievable. People who see it are like, why is this not being done everywhere?”

Reid is enthusiastic about the quality of production that’s shaping up under the leadership of Nolan and musical director Kate MacColl – both new to the Footlight fold.

She’s pleased that Nolan sought out the theatre group after his arrival from the east, where he has been involved with community theatre since his debut role in a 1980 production of Guys

and Dolls with Ottawa’s Orpheus Musical Theatre Society.

Over the years, Nolan has amassed an extensive resumé that includes both performing and directing – including directing a dozen community theatre productions and earning the Capital Critics Circle Award for Best Director in community theatre.

Reid promises that, under his leadership, The Marvelous Wonderettes will be the kind of high-quality show that Footlight has always been known for.

She’s hoping the show will appeal to a broad base of audience members – from those who

know the music through their parents or grandparents, to those who grew up to the music themselves.

“I think it’s going to be anybody that loves the music of the ’50s and ’60s,” she says. “It’s music that everybody will know.”

The Marvelous Wonderettes is onstage for 10 performances, with 8 p.m. shows Nov. 6 through 8 and Nov. 13 through 15, plus 2 p.m. matinees on Nov. 8, 9 and 15.

Tickets are $25 for all seats, available through tickets.shadboltcentre.com or by phone at 604-205-3000. twitter.com/juliemaclellan

Canadian story

Douglas College theatre students are taking a step back into Canadian history for their upcoming performance of Unity (1918).

A press release informs me that the Governor General’s Award-winning play by B.C. playwright Kevin Kerr focuses on Beatrice, a young woman from a farming family who narrates the tale through her diary.

The town of Unity, Saskatchewan is facing a new threat as soldiers return from the First World War: the Spanish flu.

“This play provides a thought-provoking look at how a community responds when it faces a threat to its very existence,” says director Thrasso Petras in a press

release. “it’s a story about an important period in our country’s history and how people’s expectations regarding the end of the Great War compared with the reality.”

The cast includes New West’s own Allie Melchert, along with Michael Robert Bernard, Emily Brown, Robyn Crawford, Zoe Frank, Dan McPeake, Brendan Saltel, Ashely Scigliano and Claire Temple.

Unity (1918) is on from Nov. 7 to 14 at the Laura C. Muir Performing Arts theatre at Douglas College, 700 Royal Ave. Tickets are $8 to $12, available through ticketsnw.ca or 604-521-5050.

Shadow puppets

Here’s a very cool one from the Anvil Centre.

On Saturday, Nov. 8, you can take the whole family down to the centre to enjoy an Indonesian shadow puppet show.

Anthonius Hardono, a puppeteer in wayang kulit (shadow puppet) performance, will be on hand for the show that is rooted in the storytelling traditions of Java, Indonesia.

“Many of the stories are adapted from the famous Hindu epic, the Mahabharata,” a writeup says. “This play that will be performed, titled Abimanyu’s First Challenge,

depicts the challenges faced by a prince in facing temptation in his early life.”

The play takes place in Room 417 of the Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St. It’s free, for all ages, and it goes from 11 a.m . to 1 p.m. RSVP to 604-5274640 or email museum@ newwestcity.ca.

Golden Age fun

Expect to see some gender-bending fun onstage at the next Golden Age Theatre production.

Male actors will be taking on female roles in Fun, Food and Fitness, the latest production by the Century House drama group.

It’s onstage Friday, Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 22 at 1:30 p.m.

Director Margo Prentice writes that “laughter is guaranteed” and promises that her male actors in female costumes are hilarious.

Want to check out the fun?

Tickets are available at the front desk of Century House, 620 Eighth St. They’re $8 for members or $10 for non-members, and refreshments are included.

Kids and politics mix at playdate event

CLASS ACT

I

NIKI HOPE

t’s a playdate with a political twist. On Saturday, Nov. 8, New Westminster parents are invited to bring their kids to a family-friendly school board all-candidates “playdate” (and Q&A) from 10 a.m. to noon at the Fraser River Discovery Centre.

The playdate is organized by New West moms Briana Tomkinson and Natalie Lawy, on behalf of the New Westminster Moms Group, a private Facebook group that is close to 600 moms strong.

“It’s hard for busy parents to take time out to attend all-candidates events in the evenings – especially if you have to pay for a sitter,” Tomkinson said in a release about the event.

“At our all-candidates school board playdate, moms and dads can do their civic duty over a coffee while the kids play and explore the exhibits at the Fraser River Discovery Centre.”

The playdate event will feature one-minute stump speeches from each school board candidate, followed by 40 minutes of open questions and answers moderated by Tomkinson and Lawy.

The last hour of the event will be unstructured free time, when parents can get to know the candidates over a free coffee provided by River Market’s Tre Galli, or tea from Great Wall Tea, while their kids play.

Child care is not provided at the event, but children in attendance will be able to enjoy the many activities throughout the lower gallery of the Fraser River Discovery Centre.

For more information, please contact Tomkinson at briana.tomkinson@ gmail.com or 778-3230717.

Nutrition talk

Will candy really make my child hyper, grumpy, unintelligent and lazy?

Nutrition and food advocate Preet Marwaha will discuss how food impacts behaviour at tonight’s (Nov. 5) Parents’ Night Out. The event will be an information-packed session that “will shift your paradigm about food and its role in the health and behaviour of our children,” says a media release.

The talk will focus on the fundamentals of nutrition, the brain, marketing of food and new lifestyle choices. The event goes from 7 to 9 p.m. at Lord Kelvin Community School gym. Free child minding is available.

Contact Dan Kalivoda at 778-875-9367 or dkalivoda@sd40.bc.ca for more information.

The event is hosted by the Parents’ Night Out committee: School District 40, New Westminster Youth Services, Family

Services of Greater Vancouver, Fraserside Community Services Society, New Westminster Teachers’ Union and the United Way of the Lower Mainland.

Douglas honours

The Douglas College Students’ Union hosted activist Ernie Crey last month to honour the lives of missing aboriginal women and girls across Canada.

The event is part of the Sisters in Spirit campaign, a call to action for a national plan to end violence against aboriginal women, including an inquiry to investigate the more than 1,000 reported cases of missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls across Canada.

“I support the upcoming roundtable on missing women and the demand for a national inquiry,” said Crey, a senior policy advisor for the Sto:lo Tribal Council and brother to Dawn Crey, whose remains were found on the Pickton Farm, in a media

release.

“This is a national tragedy,” Makailey Preston, aboriginal liaison of the Douglas Students’ Union, said in the release.

“Students and community members are calling on the government to investigate the issue of missing and murdered women.

Families and communities deserve justice and peace, and no aboriginal woman should have to ask, ‘Am I next?’”

In the last 30 years, more than 1,000 Aboriginal women have gone missing or have been murdered, and aboriginal woman are four times more likely than nonaboriginal women to be murdered, RCMP data shows.

“Students at Douglas College, along with others across the country, are standing in solidarity with Aboriginal communities and families who have lost loved ones and are calling for immediate action to end violence against aboriginal women and girls,” said Sonia Keshane

of the student union’s Aboriginal Students’ Collective. “These missing women aren’t statistics, they are real people; someone’s mother, grandmother, daughter, auntie, cousin, and they are all our sisters. Something needs to be done. We need awareness, we need action and we need it now.”

Sisters in Spirit is a joint campaign of progressive organizations across the country including the Native Women’s Association of Canada, Amnesty International Canada, KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives, National Association of Friendship Centres and the Canadian Federation of Students.

The students’ union held the event in association with its Aboriginal students’ collective and the Douglas College Aboriginal Centre.

JV Hyacks post perfect program first

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster junior varsity football team accomplished a pair of program firsts.

The JV Hyacks defeated Lord Tweedsmuir 4920 to clinch the B.C. high school football league’s Valley division – the New Westminster program’s first-ever outright title at any level. It was also New West team’s first unbeaten regular season.

“This junior group has definitely a different mental focus,” said Hyacks JV head coach Chad Oatway.

“We’re bigger up front than we’ve ever been before.”

The size and depth of the boys up front has made Hyack boys a true contender after many seasons as mainly a feeder program to the varsity team.

“It is nice,” Oatway added. “Our (senior) team has always gotten better from our juniors. But these kids have a good base of football. … I think we’re in that upper echelon of teams. We’re definitely a contender.”

Trew Dancey scored rushing touchdowns of 56 yards in the first quarter and 65 yards in the second quarter to go over the 200yard mark in total rushing

Quarterback Lucas Sabau snuck into the end zone from one-yard out following a 38-yard Dancey run two plays earlier.

Sammy Sidhu then

made the score 35-6 at halftime after Dancey took the ball to the Tweedsmuir eight-yard line after a 32yard run.

Josh Olango also had a 50-yard gainer on the ground to open the scoring for New West.

Alan Darby and David Arciaga also scored for the

Hyacks from inside the red zone in the final quarter to round out the scoring.

“We will almost certainly get a first-round playoff bye and will play a quarter-final playoff game on Thursday, Nov. 20 at Mercer,” said Hyacks varsity head coach Farhan Lalji.

New West intends to remain sharp with an exhibition game against Notre Dame, another unbeaten junior varsity team, at Mercer Stadium on Thursday at 5:30 p.m.

“We’re excited to see what these kids can do down the stretch,” said Oatway.

Good things to come in BNW cross-country

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Good things are yet to come for Burnaby/New Westminster district runners.

Grace Fetherstonhaugh of New Westminster finished with a bronze medal and St. Thomas More’s Cobi Juni placed fifth in their respective junior races at the B.C. high school cross-country championships in Victoria on Saturday.

Fetherstonhaugh finished third in a time of 16:28 in the junior girls’ 4.1-kilometre race.

The gold medal came down to a tight finish between winner Taryn O’Neill of George Elliot and runner-up Julie Sevsek of Clayton Heights, both finishing under 16 minutes.

Emily Chilton finished in 13th spot in 17:22 to help the New West team, including Michelle Li and Ellery Hardy, to seventh place.

Rachel Wong and Lauren Semkow of Moscrop placed 53rd and 70th, respectively, in the field.

Burnaby Mountain’s Saira Purhar was 60th. Tea Cecic of Alpha finished 85th.

At the junior boys’ 5.1km dis-

tance, Juni clocked a fifth-place time of 18:22, less than a minute behind winner Joel Harrison of Walnut Grove.

Charles Yu of Burnaby Central finished in 46th spot with a 19:42 clocking. Central teammate Matthew Pomponio placed 65th overall. Shae Janke of Burnaby South was 81st.

Eric Zhang and Tomas Ward also scored points towards Central’s 14th-place team finish.

Byrne Creek’s Jemal Reta finished in 20th place in the senior boys’ race.

Nathan Tadesse of North Surrey won the 6.1km boys’ race in a time of 20:35. Sean Bergman of Kelowna was just 13 seconds behind in second place.

STM’s Alessandro Pozzollo placed 47th in the large senior boys’ field. Julian Hart of Moscrop was 82nd.

Alpha’s Hamish Clinton placed 90th and Andrew Woinoski of Burnaby Mountain was 95th in the field of 235 runners.

Dover Bay won the senior boys’ team title handily.

The pair of third-year Trinity Western University players helped the program to its sixth Canada West conference title since 2001 and second in three seasons following a 2-1 win over the University of the Fraser Valley on Sunday.

Canada West rookie of the year Seina Kashima of Burnaby played the first 65 minutes of Trinity Western’s playoff-opening 3-1 win over the University of B.C. but was not listed on the roster for the Spartans’ semifinal or final matches.

Kashima, who was named a Canada West first team all-star, finished her freshman season with Trinity Western sixth in total scoring, with four goals and a second-best overall six assists.

Canada West MVP Jessica King scored the game-winning goal for the Spartans, beating Burnaby keeper Kayla Klim in the Fraser Valley net with a well-placed shot in the 61st minute in the gold-medal final.

Klim, who was the recipient of the Canada West student/athlete community service award, made nine saves and was named player of the game for the Cascades in the championship final.

“It’s definitely disappointing, Trinity coming out on top again,” said Klim in a school press release. “But we worked hard, and now the focus is next week.

“We’re going all in (at nationals). Our goal is to reach the top, and just keep working hard. We’ve proven ourselves this season, and it’s just time to keep proving ourselves.”

Scrambling: New Westminster quarterback Jamie Shiho, with ball, runs away from the Sun Devils’ pursuit during the second half in a 37-15 loss to South Delta in B.C. AAA high school football on Saturday.

Grid Hyacks finish fourth

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Hyacks chose a tough playoff road following last week’s loss to South Delta.

The varsity AAA Hyacks needed a win over the home Sun Devils to have a chance of bettering their position in the B.C. high school Western conference and didn’t get it.

New West lost 37-15 to South Delta at Dennison Park on Saturday to finish the regular season in fourth place with a 4-3 record.

The Hyacks kept the score close in the open-

ing half on a five-yard touchdown run by Julian Ramirez that tied the score in the second quarter.

South Delta led 14-7 at halftime.

The Sun Devils stretched that lead to 30-7 before Mackenzie Ratcliffe connected with Dylan Musgrove on a 45-yard TD reception early in the final quarter.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t help ourselves much on both sides of the ball – too many penalties on offence and too many missed tackles on defence,” said Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji. “You have

to give South Delta credit.

They have a number of playmakers at receiver and executed at a high level.”

New West registered less than 200 yards in total offence, including 140 yards on the ground.

Jorge Yarwood and Ebraheim Farroghi had solid games on the Hyacks defence.

New West’s fourth-place finish will earn the Hyacks a first-round playoff date at home against Mt. Boucherie next week, with the winner meeting Eastern conference champions and provincial No. 1 Terry Fox Ravens in the quarter-finals.

Steelers remain on winning roll

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The Grandview Steelers ground out a pair of 3-2 wins to keep their current winning streak intact.

The junior B Steelers got a timely first-of-theseason goal from Jackson Waniek in the second period of overtime to defeat the Mission City Outlaws 3-2 at the Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday.

Waniek was picked up in an Oct. 27 swap of forwards with the Richmond Sockeyes.

Lucas Santucci, with his first goal of the season, and Cameron Ginnetti, with the game-tying goal late in the third period, also scored for the Steelers.

Nicholas Anderson picked up his fourth win in goal for Grandview.

Earlier last week, Grandview got back-toback goals in the third period from first star Jordan Hall, including the gamewinner, to knock off the Ridge Meadows Flames at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge on Halloween night.

Hall, a fourth-year Steeler, tallied a hat trick in the win over the Flames.

Second star Timothy Chow assisted on all three Hall goals, while third star Joel Gaudet helped out on a pair of goals to boost his team-high point total to 18 points.

The wins extended Grandview’s current win streak to four games in the Pacific Junior Hockey League, moving the Steelers up in the Tom Shaw conference standings with a record of 9-7-0-0, tied for third place with the Delta Ice Hawks.

Anderson, who was picked up from the North Vancouver Wolf Pack for future considerations in a recent trade, was in the net for both Steeler wins.

Eleven years ago, Matthew dreaded halls like this because of bullies.

TODAY, MATTHEW WALKED DOWN THE HALL.

It’s easy to take for granted the ordinary things in our lives. But for many children, something as ordinary as feeling safe at school is impossible.

You can make it possible.

Help kids be all they can be.

Please give.
