Cote takes mayor’s seat in decisive win Some new faces join incumbents on New West city council and school board

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Jonathan Cote has dethroned four-term mayor Wayne Wright to become New Westminster’s new mayor.

Cote, the mayor-elect, will be sworn in as the city’s next mayor at the Dec. 1 inaugural council meeting. The three-term councillor garnered 7,661 votes (53 per cent) in his first bid for mayor, beating Wright’s 5,149 votes, as well as James Crosty (1,345) and Vladimir Krasnogor (315).

Incumbents Michael Ewen (5,214) and James Janzen (5,145) were also re-elected to school board.

All five school board candidates endorsed by the New Westminster and District Labour Council were elected.

ELECTION HINDSIGHT: DOES LABOUR ENDORSEMENT CARRY THE BIGGEST PUNCH?

Independents blame the machine

BY NIKI HOPE, THERESA MCMANUS REPORTERS editorial@royalcityrecord.com

The labour “machine” matters in New Westminster elections, according to independent candidates who didn’t win a single seat on city council Saturday.

New Westminster and District Labour Council-endorsed candidates swept city hall and won five of seven seats on the school board, proving that the powerful anointment means something in an NDP stronghold, say the critics.

“I guess slate politics works. It looks like a slate to me from these numbers,” former councillor Cal Donnelly said after the results rolled in Saturday night.

The labour endorses candidates throughout the Lower Mainland. The organization contributes funds, manpower and, through phone calls and mailouts, encourages its many union members to vote for labour-approved candidates who have sought and gone through an approval process.

“I am disappointed that voter turnout didn’t get higher, and I am disappointed that it’s a complete sweep,” said McBrideSapperton Residents’ Association president Catherine Cartwright, who came just behind newcomer Mary Trentadue by 352 votes, according to preliminary results.

Tourism New Westminster executive director Tej Kainth was just 54 votes behind Cartwright.

Although candidates talked about the need for balance at city council, that didn’t translate into votes at the polls.

“I can’t tell you what happened because on the street it resonated,” Cartwright said. “Maybe it’s who came to vote and who didn’t?”

Independent candidates provided another perspective on city issues to the debate during the campaign, but that was no match for the money provided by labour, candidate Harm Woldring said.

Woldring said unions contributed more than $30,000 to local candidates in 2011 and he expects that figure to soar this time around.

“It is going to be $80,000 to $100,000,” he predicted. “I spent less than $2,500. I didn’t have a single ad or a single sign in the city.”

Woldring, a downtown businessman who got 1,610 votes,

Anticipation: Patrick Johnstone, a labour-endorsed councillor candidate elected to city council, watches the results pour into council chambers on Saturday night, with his campaign manager Jen Arbo. believes a sweep by the labourendorsed council candidates will be “a disaster” for the city and business in the city. While business had somewhat of a voice with former Coun. Betty McIntosh and Mayor Wayne Wright, Woldring fears that balance will be gone.

“They don’t know a thing about economic development or they wouldn’t be crucifying businesses in this community,” he said. “You can’t run a small business in this community.”

In addition to tightening rules on union financing of election campaigns, Woldring also thinks there’s a need for term limits in civic politics.

“There should be term limits, especially with four-year terms,” he said. “Two terms and you are gone. You shouldn’t be sitting on city council for 20 years, the same with school board.”

First-time candidate David Brett, who placed 10th in the council race, echoed the comments of other candidates who weren’t endorsed by the labour council.

“I am disappointed but not terribly surprised that the slate got in,” he said. “As the race went on, it was apparent there were over-

whelming resources, in terms of budgets, advertising, the kind of coordinated campaign.”

According to Brett, first-time candidates were “squired about town by the NDP brass” and introduced to the community.

While “dire consequences” is a bit too strong wording, Brett thinks New Westminster will suffer by having elected a full council of labour-supported candidates, particularly in its relationships with senior levels of government.

“I think he brought a pro-business, can-do attitude and kind of carried the rest of the council on his shoulders,” he said of Wright. “I have heard some of the people on the labour side even say themselves they fear groupthink. When you have too many people in strong agreement, you can come to believe the direction you are going is right. If you don’t have any skeptical voice at the table, things can go wrong.” ◗Campaign Page 16

‘This was the parents’ election’

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

Can the level of engagement seen during the trustee race continue? That’s something trustee-elect Kelly Slade-Kerr is hoping for.

Surrounded by family and friends on election night, Slade-Kerr was nearly speechless as she watched the results come in from city hall.

“This was the parents’ election,” she told The Record.

Slade-Kerr, a first-time candidate, led the race with more than 8,100 votes following the preliminary count, garnering more votes than the new mayor.

The recent teachers’ strike was the spark that lit the match for parent engagement in New West.

“I said the silver lining in this education dispute is going to be parent engagement in the election, and it’s come true,” she said Saturday night.

Now that she’s been elected, Slade-Kerr wants to see the momentum continue.

“I’m not going to let the community go back into their houses and their living rooms, we’re in this together,” she said.

Prior to the arrival of superintendent John Gaiptman, the district’s lack of trans-

parency regarding its budget woes had many parents feeling frustrated.

Since then, Gaitpman has pulled back the curtain on the district’s management.

These changes, coupled with the teachers’ strike, seem to have had an effect on this year’s civic election, Jonina Campbell said.

In 2011, Campbell (who was running for trustee for the first time) received the most support in the trustee race with 5,825 votes. Slade-Kerr surpassed that number by more than 2,300 votes on Saturday night.

Campbell agreed with Slade-Kerr, saying she’s noticed parents have become more engaged in public education over the past six months.

“I think with the strike, the high school, parents are starting to pay attention in terms of what’s happening both locally and provincially in public education, and I think that’s really a great thing,” she said.

“What I really hope to see is that same level of engagement over the four years, not just during election time.”

To keep this going, trustees and staff need to work hard to make sure they’re communicating effectively with parents and the community alike, Campbell said. ◗Engagement Page 8

Gambling isn’t going anywhere IN THE HOUSE

T

KEITH BALDREY

he latest move to study (and perhaps eventually reduce) problem gambling is welcome news, but don’t think for a minute it’s a sign the provincial government is any less voracious when it comes to gobbling up money from gamblers.

Last week saw the establishment of the new Centre for Gambling Research at the University of B.C. A UBC news release said the centre’s key goals are “probing the psychology of gambling, helping problem gamblers and enhancing gaming policy.”

There will be a “casino lab” created in the centre, which sounds nifty. It will have slot machines and other games, and it will measure things like heart rates and brain responses of gamblers.

The whole thing is being paid for by a $2-million grant from the B.C. government and the B.C. Lottery Corporation. This is all well and good.

But if you think that grant is “guilt” money, you would be correct.

The B.C. government, like every other provincial government (if not governments pretty

much everywhere), long ago became addicted to revenues flowing its way from the gambling industry.

It wasn’t always like this, of course. For decades, if a person wanted to gamble legally (I stress that word) in this province, such activities were basically confined to horse racing, the crown and anchor wheel on the carnival midway (I used to operate one, by the way) and perhaps an annual Grey Cup pool or the old Irish Hospital Sweepstakes horse race.

That changed in the mid1970s, when a national lottery was established to help pay for Montreal’s Olympic Games in 1976. The Olympics came and went, but the lottery stayed.

Then, in 1985, provinces were given control of gambling.

One can just imagine provincial financial ministers of the day salivating at the prospect of a whole new revenue stream being opened up to them.

And open it up it did, as provincial lotteries became bigger and bigger. Eventually, casinos were brought into being, and with them the biggest cash cow of all: slot machines and other electronic game machines.

By 2002, revenues for the B.C. government broke through the $500 million level. Since then, they have doubled to almost $1.2 billion expecting to come in this year.

That money is distributed, in part, to non-profit arts, culture

Dear Editor:

Good news for Urban Academy is bad news for the neighbourhood. As you are aware, Urban Academy has a proposed expansion at their current site, 101 Third St., New Westminster. Their vision is to almost triple their school population to 400-plus students. They are to be congratulated for their vision and current success.

But their good news, is bad news for the neighbourhood for the following reasons that all stem from that well-known phrase: “Location, Location, Location.” The “bad news” for the neighbourhood involves the following issues: 1. Safety: the increased volume of traffic as children are dropped off and picked up in a residential area that is already on the route for children of ◗Gambling Page 7 the newly built Qayqayt Elementary School will

decrease the safety of all involved. Qayqayt parents are already calling the dropoff/pickup chaos there “zoo central.” Do we want to replicate that chaos two blocks away?

2. Parking: even though the proposed redevelopment includes the provision of an additional 20 parking spaces, the proposed expansion will exacerbate the existing parking problems in what is still a residential neighbourhood.

3. Zoning: a simple walk from the current Urban Academy site across “low traffic” Royal Avenue to the new Qayqayt Elementary School very quickly illustrates the difference in site areas. The current B.C. Ministry of Education area standards (www. bced.gov.bc.ca/capitalplanning/resources/areast andards.pdf, p. 32) recommends a site area of 2.5 to 2.8 hectares (25,000 to 28,000 metres squared) for a school with a nominal capacity of 400 to 450 students.

consolidated property in the Urban Academy proposal is 3,341 metres squared (from Committee of the Whole Council Agenda, June 23, p. 56) This is eight times smaller than the B.C. Ministry of Education Area Standards. Even though we need to be flexible, council should ensure that standards for private school facilities should be similar to those of public school facilities.

4. Affordable housing: Urban Academy has already purchased the eight-unit apartment building at 228 Manitoba St. There is real risk that the affordable housing and long-term community enjoyed by those

residents will be displaced/eliminated.

This is not in keeping with the spirit of the city’s affordable housing initiative.

5. Heritage: the proposed, creative architectural plan wraps the current heritage building inside a modern school envelope and degrades the heritage value of the existing site. Is this in keeping with the intention of the Heritage Revitalization Agreement initiative?

Good news for Urban Academy is indeed bad news for the neighbourhood.

I hope the city can work with Urban Academy to enable them to achieve their vision in the right location.

Gambling: Casinos here to stay in B.C. ◗ continued from page 6

and sports groups (like your local Little League baseball team) and to municipalities that host casinos (which helps explain the often muted opposition to gaming expansion by municipalities). But the vast majority (almost $900 million) goes to the government’s general revenue fund.

The government’s direct share of the gambling pie is enough to fund, to pick just one area, what the government spends on all social services in an entire year. This isn’t chump change we’re talking about folks, which is why any notion that the government – any government – is going to spend gobs of cash treating problem gamblers has dim prospects of becoming reality.

There are valid arguments to curtail a casino’s operating hours, reduce the number of slot

machines (which are particularly insidious when it comes to attracting problem gamblers) and any number of other measures aimed at making gambling a bit harder to access.

But the fact is, even with that $2 million grant for UBC, the money spent annually on problem gambling is less than one per cent of the profits government earn on that activity.

And as long as governments refuse to even have a dialogue about revisiting our tax system, they will continue to look greedily at any prospective revenues that allow them to meet ever-rising public expectations for government services, whether they are for health care, education, social services, or whatever.

So until a political party stakes out new turf, and puts things like an income tax hike, a substantial corporate tax increase, or a

big reduction in spending, revenue generators like the gambling industry will continue to be an indispensable part of the social fabric, as distasteful as many people find that.

B.C. Provincial Health Officer Perry Kendall, in his groundbreaking report on gambling released last year, has estimated there are about 31,000 people struggling, at various degrees, with problem gambling in this province.

But even with laudable measures being taken, such as establishing the Centre for Gambling Research at UBC, I’m afraid many of those people will end up being collateral damage resulting from the government’s ceaseless efforts to find money to pay for the things that everyone wants – but don’t really want to pay any more for them.

Voter turnout climbs

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A hotly contested mayor’s race, sunny skies and efforts to spark the vote in New Westminster translated into more voters on election day.

Depending on which figures you want to believe, turnout for the 2014 civic election is either 32.5 per cent or 28.46 per cent.

“It was really an excellent turnout,” said Isabelle Hadford, the city’s chief election officer. “I was really excited to see all the people come out to vote. There were lineups everywhere. There was a lot of interest generated. The lineups started right at 8 o’clock in the morning and went all day. There was a lot of interest in it. It was really exciting to see that people were so interested in coming out to vote.”

Hadford said there were a lot of new registrations on election day, but she didn’t have the figure available. All totaled, 14,564 people cast votes in New Westminster.

Hadford said the city’s practice has

always been to calculate voter turnout on the total number of registered voters. With city figures showing 44,768 registered voters, the turnout would be 32.5 per cent.

Civic Info B.C., however, used census figures to calculate turnout. With census data showing 51,166 eligible voters, the turnout would be 28.46 per cent, “There’s some debate on that. We have a different number than Civic Info B.C.,” Hadford said. “We have the number of registered voters at 44,768. That was from our voters list. Civic Info B.C. has a different amount. They have generated their number through census.”

Either way, more people voted in the 2014 civic election than in 2011, when 10,614 people (23.45 per cent) voted. It also exceeds the 23.86 per cent turnout in 2008 and the 25.84 per cent turnout in 2005.

“Thank you for all the electorate coming out and voting,” Hadford said. “That was great.”

Civic Info B.C. states that the average turnout in B.C. municipalities was 33.3 per cent.

Engagement: ‘That certainly is not new…’ ◗ continued from page 5

Incumbent candidate Casey Cook, who was also re-elected on Saturday, disagreed that parent engagement is a new concept.

“I introduced a motion that had a parents’ bill of rights, and that was three years ago. So for people to be talking parent engagement, that certainly is not new for MaryAnn (Mortensen) and I,” he

said. “We’ve been talking in those terms for as long as we’ve been on the board.”

Re-elected for her second term, Mortensen was pleased with the number of families who took part in the discussion during this election.

“Door knocking produced a lot of parents with really young kids who mentioned that in some

parts of New West they feel really disengaged from the rest of the city, but they’re interested in the politics,” she said.

The remaining three trustee seats went to incumbents Michael Ewen, who has served on the school board for about 35 years, James Janzen, who has served for more than 20 years, and newly elected trustee Mark Gifford.

Crosty calm in face of defeat

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

It was a mixed bag of emotions at James Crosty headquarters on election night.

The two-time candidate appeared calm and collected as poll results started coming in. It quickly became clear Crosty hadn’t made as big a dent as he hoped and early results had him in third place in the city’s mayoral race with 1,345 votes – more than 4,000 votes behind Wayne Wright and Jonathan Cote.

“You can only do this so many times before you have to say, ‘It’s difficult to win in a labour town.’ We knew that from the outgoing,” Crosty said.

Crosty had been banking on the hope that the race between Wright and Cote would result in a split that would have seen him come up the middle for the win, but that didn’t pan out.

This campaign has been a positive experience for Crosty, who first ran for mayor of New Westminster three years ago (a race in which he garnered more than 3,100 votes). He credits the change to his battle with prostate cancer and having to care for his partner’s mother.

“I had a one-year battle on that and I’m two years cancer free,” he said. “I call it a shotgun at your head. All of a sudden you realize you just can’t hold on to the past, you can only do what you can do today.

“The election before I was getting scowls and dirty looks because I was the only really one opposing Wayne

Watching: James Crosty placed third in the 2014 New Westminster mayoral race with preliminary results showing he received 1,345 votes of the nearly 14,500 ballots cast.

(Wright) and he was the darling at the time,” he said.

This time around, Crosty had a different strategy – he put forward a specific platform of ideas, including the Stormont connector, a women’s commission and synchronized streetlights.

But it seems that wasn’t enough.

“I think we’re headed down a very serious path with all district labour council candidates and that’s another reason why it would be difficult to run in this city again,” he said.

When asked if he had any advice for Jonathan Cote, the new mayorelect, he replied, “Good luck.”

Vladimir Krasnogor, the fourth candidate in the mayoral race, also saw a drop in the number of votes he garnered in his second run for a civic seat.

In 2011, he received 1,098 votes when he ran for council. This time around, setting his sights on the mayor’s seat, Krasnogor managed to get only 315 votes of the 14,470 ballots cast in the mayoral race, according to the preliminary results.

Love it or list it?

Here’s one from the TV files – especially for those whose homes may need a little help.

Love It or List It Vancouver is currently accepting applications for the third season of the W Network series, and New Westminster homeowners are being invited to take part.

For those unfamiliar with the show, design expert Jillian Harris and real estate agent Todd Talbot take on clients with a “problem” home – Harris renovates it in an attempt to get the homeowners to “love” it, while Talbot looks for new dwellings in an effort to

get the homeowners to “list” it.

Applicants must be a twosome – which can include married/partnered couples, parents/children, siblings or friends.

A press release notes that “selected homeowners must be financially and logistically prepared to endure a major renovation project lasting roughly four to five weeks.”

Applications are being accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until Jan. 31.

T

he city is seeking input about a proposed off-leash dog area in Moody Park.

In response to requests from some community members, the city is considering the possibility of creating an off-leash area in Moody Park. Currently, three locations are being considered: ◆ Option A is a 1,850square-metre space near the corner of Sixth Avenue

and Eighth Street. ◆ Option B is a 1,130square-metre space located west of the Moody Park playground and south of Century House. ◆ Option C is a 930square-metre space at the corner of Eighth Avenue and Eighth Street, near the outdoor lacrosse box.

Anyone wanting to vote on their preferred option is asked to visit www. newwestpcr.ca or drop by the parks, culture and recreation office or Century House in Moody Park before Nov. 21.

Bailey bridge coming soon

Motorists who are clamoring to cross the Bailey

bridge will have a while longer to wait.

Installation of the first bridge has taken place and it will be opening to pedestrians and cyclists by Nov. 19. Vehicles, however, won’t be allowed on the bridge until drainage and foundation works needed to accommodate the second bridge are done. That work is scheduled to be completed by the end of the month.

In August, New Westminster and Coquitlam reached an agreement about how to proceed with a twolane crossing in the Braid industrial area. While New Westminster wanted to keep a single-lane crossing in the area, Coquitlam pushed for a two-lane

crossing – a decision supported by an arbitrator.

MLA highlights New West’s concerns

New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy recently sounded alarms in Victoria about some pressing local needs that she thinks are being ignored.

Following the throne speech in the B.C. Legislature, Darcy expressed concerns that there’s inadequate funding for public education and the dire need to replace the aging New Westminster Secondary School.

“This government has recognized since 2005 that a new high school is needed,

Royal Columbian routinely makes headlines, most frequently for … the overflow in the emergency room,” said Darcy. “But the frontline staff who work in emergency – the doctors, the nurses, the admitting clerks – will tell you that the crisis in emergency is far from an isolated occurrence. It’s something that they live with every single week.”

yet the capital project for a new New West Secondary School has faced delay after delay after delay,” she said.

“The fact that such excellent learning goes on in our high school is an enormous credit to our incredible teachers and support staff. The students in my community deserve better.

They deserve 21st-century learning in an environment that meets their needs.”

In her response to the throne speech, Darcy, the NDP’s health critic, also spoke about health care issues in New Westminster and across the province, saying the government focuses on LNG. “What about emergency departments? Well, the hospital in my community,

For honour: Emergency Response Team members ran five kilometres around Deer Lake Park on Saturday while carrying about 70 pounds of gear.

Run raises $17,000 for Honour House

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

For the second year in a row, the Adrian Oliver Memorial Run raised more than $10,000 for New Westminster-based Honour House.

About 300 people braved frigid temperatures on Saturday to run the fivekilometre charity run around Deer Lake Park in Burnaby, Const. Ben Oliver with the Burnaby RCMP told The Record on Monday.

The run is in memory of Oliver’s brother Adrian, who was a constable with the Surrey RCMP. Adrian was killed while on duty in November 2012 when a semi-truck crashed into his police cruiser.

Last year was the first year for the event – organized by Oliver and a few other friends – and about 200 people turned out for the run. This year, about 100 more people took part in the fundraiser, raising nearly $17,000 for Honour House, Oliver

said.

“The raffle and the silent auction brought in close to $10,000 and then everything else was around $7,000,” he said.

“We were pretty happy with the turnout.

It was good – short and sweet just like we wanted it.”

All the money raised will be donated to Honour House, which provides temporary housing for families of Canadian Forces and first responders.

When Adrian was killed two years ago, the Oliver family stayed at Honour House.

The stay made such an impact during that tragic time that Oliver decided to organize a fundraiser for the house in Adrian’s honour.

Planning for next year’s run is already underway, Oliver said.

“We have a meeting with our guys probably in the next week to see what went right and what went wrong and what we can do better,” he said. “It’ll be even bigger next year, I hope.”

◗ 10-YEAR-PROJECT IN THE CITY

New monument recalls Second World War

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The Royal Westminster Regiment Museum unveiled a new monument just in time for Remembrance Day. Terry Leith, president of the Royal Westminster Regiment Historical Society, said the museum was thrilled to have the official opening of a new monument outside the Armouries.

“It’s a universal carrier, commonly called a Bren Gun carrier.

They were used during the Second World War and onwards,” he said. “We’ve got one, and we’ve got it set up as a monument for all the soldiers.”

The Royal Westminster Regiment held a dedication ceremony on Nov. 9.

“It’s finally in place,” Leith said. “We have been talking about this for about 10 years.”

Keith said the project had a budget of $10,000, which “pretty well covered” the costs – the Bren Gun carrier itself was $5,500.

The Royal Westminster Regiment Museum found the carrier in Victoria and spent about two years working on the project. The carrier’s mechanics had to be altered in order to meet

Department of National Defence (DND) requirements.

“We had to modify it to DND standards,” Leith said. “To put a vehicle like that outside an armory it can’t be in running condition.”

While a driver would normally sit inside the vehicle, that’s been covered so kids won’t climb inside.

Other safety considerations mandated that the carrier be bolted down on the pad outside its new home in front of the Royal Westminster Regiment Armouries.

“This vehicle is one of the most produced armored fighting vehicles. They manufactured 113,000 of them,” Leith said of the vehicles that were made in Canada and England. “Canada had 29,000.”

The Royal Westminster Regiment Museum’s next project is to restore a cannon currently located outside the Armouries on Queens Avenue.

“We have to take it to a company that will sandblast it for us.

From there it will go to a place where it is repainted,” Leith said.

“While that’s all being done, we are going to fix up the pad that it’s on.”

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Remembering: Terry Leith, president of the Royal Westminster Regiment Historical Society, was thrilled to welcome the new Bren Gun carrier to the Armouries. It was unveiled on Nov. 9, just in time for Remembrance Day.

Stay away from the Disneyfied ideal of love D

isneyland has always been a favourite holiday destination for my family.

When my daughter was small, we could spend more time in lineups to meet her favourite princesses than to get on the busiest rides, but fairytale magic had no power over nature; we would often arrive at the front of the line, when a princess had to take a break. It happened so often that my daughter started to harbour grudges

The love we seek is an emotional, spiritual and social ideal but is within our reach. The love we have sought from someone else is what we must nurture within our own hearts.

It is unconditional love.

It is like a physician’s unconditional positive regard for his patient, wherein the needs of the patient take precedence over those of the physician.

The well-being of the other comes first.

We are human and we love imperfectly. More often than not, our affections for one another are conditional. If our partners disappoint and displease us, we hold back our love.

We project our own ideals and identity onto our children and if they fail to live to our standards and rules,

those madly in love not be allowed to get married (at least until the end of a cooling off period when a prince turns back into a toad or a beast and has the opportunity to leave the lily pad up once too often)?

When infatuation fades (as it always does), many ask with sober reflection, “What was I thinking?”

When the honeymoon ends, we become disenchanted and “happily ever after” becomes work. We can start competing with one another and keeping track of what we compromise. In the ledger of what we give and take from a relationship, we all lose.

To avoid disappointment, should we give up the search for the one true love who is our perfect partner and soul mate?

they may feel we love them less.

Unconditional love does not judge but easily forgives. It is like a best friend who knows everything about you but accepts you and loves you anyway; who tells you what you need to know, sees the best in you and pushes you to live your potential.

We are human and we love imperfectly, but we must accept ourselves and the love we have received as imperfect as it may be.

Our world is not perfect but there is still beauty in it.

We are not perfect but still worthy of love.

By nurturing unconditional love, we may live more happily ever after, accepting ourselves, improving our relationships and becoming better

parents.

As an exercise to develop more unconditional love, picture first someone you care about and say, “May you be happy, healthy, peaceful and safe.” Then picture in turn someone you feel neutral about (no particular feelings whatsoever), someone you have a quarrel with, and yourself, while saying, “May you be happy, healthy, peaceful and safe.”

If you practise this exercise regularly, you will become an agent of positive change – beginning first in your own heart and spreading to the world around you.

Moscrop girls second at 4A championships

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The Moscrop Panthers got the win they wanted at the Lower Mainland quad A high school girls’ volleyball championships.

The five-time Burnaby/ New Westminster district champions placed runnerup following a 3-1 loss to top-ranked Argyle in the zone championships at Handsworth on Saturday.

But it was a marathon five-set tiebreak win over the host and No. 4ranked Royals that may well have been the most important win of the day.

“I’m glad that we beat the team that we needed to beat in the semis,” said Moscrop coach Kim Or. “Now we can breathe a sigh of relief as we prepare for the AAAA in Cranbrook.”

The win may also prove to give the former eighthseeded Panthers a higher seeding at the provincials, Or added.

The semifinal match was a thriller from start to finish, with Moscrop coming out on top following an 18-16 win in the tiebreaker.

The Panthers took a close opening set 25-23.

Ernestine Tiamzon led the way with six kills and two blocked shots, while Isabella Cheung added four kills and one service ace for Moscrop.

Handsworth came back to tie with a 25-18 win in set 2, but Moscrop kept the pressure on with a comeback 25-21 win in the fol-

lowing set.

Trailing 15-10 in the third set, Tiamzon turned things around with the first of her five kills in the set.

Moscrop was leading the fourth set 21-18 at one point but eventually lost 25-23 despite an eight-kill outing by Cheung.

In the tiebreak, Cheung tallied two of her 26 total kills to gain the final two game-winning points, while Tiamzon finTo view ished with 18 wina video, ners overall. scan Marija Bojanic with teamed up with Layar Elianna Guo for two of her three blocks in the fifth and final set, while adding an ace that made the score 7-4 and a kill that put Moscrop ahead 13-10.

“It’s a pretty big win.

Our goal was to get into the provincials, and we made it,” said Tiamzon after the game. “I think every kill we get motivates us to do better. We see each other getting better. ... The thing is we just have to keep calm and go on to the next point.”

Burnaby North finished sixth overall at the Mainlands following a 3-0 loss to Winston Churchill.

New Westminster and wildcard Burnaby South failed to get out of the pool round.

The 4A girls’ provincials take place in Cranbrook from Nov. 27 to 29.

The Moscrop junior girls placed third at the Vancouver and District volleyball championships to also earn a spot at the provincials.

Hyacks leap first-round hurdle

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Matt Seymour was all New Westminster needed to end a firstround playoff curse.

The senior All-East conference wide receiver scored three straight touchdowns between the second and third quarters to help the New Westminster Hyacks to a 40-7 win over the Mt. Boucherie Bears in a B.C. high school AAA wild card football playoff at Mercer Stadium on Friday.

The victory was the first playoff win in five seasons for the varsity Hyacks and sets up a second-round matchup with No. 1-ranked Terry Fox Ravens this week.

“We wanted to make a statement.

We wanted it to be meaningful, that’s for sure,” said Seymour after earning player of the game honours. “It was the last game at Mercer for the seniors and a good way to go out.”

With the Hyacks leading 12-7 late in the second quarter, Seymour took a short pass over the middle from Jamie Shiho, froze a defender with a step inside and then raced half the length of the field for his first of three scores.

Seymour also scored a TD off New Westminster’s opening possession of the second half following a 22-yard run by Brian Cagamapan to the Bears’ 12-yard line.

Mackenzie Ratcliffe lofted a high pass to the corner of the end zone, and Seymour did well to go up for the ball and keep his feet inbounds.

The third TD was a perfectly executed jet sweep that showcased Seymour’s athleticism and nearly set a program record as the longest run from scrimmage.

Seymour easily outlegged the opposition, racing 97 yards on an end-round play up the left side of the field to put the Hyacks on top 32-7. Wayne Palmer kicked the extra

point.

Vivie Bojilov holds the Hyacks’ longest run from scrimmage on a 99yard romp set in 2009.

Seymour currently holds the program’s longest pass reception record – a 95-yard touchdown effort against Notre Dame this season.

Jordan Guzman, with a 19-yard run in the fourth quarter, closed out the scoring for New West.

“It was an important win as a program. We had to get past that,” said Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji.

Mt. Boucherie took the opening kickoff into the end zone after a sixminute drive downfield.

New West replied with a march of its own, capped off by a seven-yard rush up the middle by Marcel Wang.

Palmer’s PAT was blocked to keep the Bears on top 7-6.

Soccer Clan stopped in first-round NCAA playoff

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Simon Fraser University was stopped short of a third consecutive trip to the NCAA men’s soccer Final Four.

The varsity Clan lost its firstround matchup with Great Northwest conference foe Northwest Nazarene 1-0 in a neutral-site Division II playoff game at Seattle Pacific University on Nov. 13.

Red-shirt freshman midfielder Marshall Hartley scored the only goal of the game in the 23rd minute for Northwest Nazarene to send the No. 5-seeded Clan home early after reaching the Division II semifinals in each of the past two seasons.

“History would tell us that one goal is not usually enough to beat those guys (SFU), but we’ve realized just how exceptional we are defensively,” said Nazarene head coach Coe Michaelson in a

Clan press release.

SFU came into the game on a six-game winning streak, scoring 11 goals in its last four games.

“The game characterized our entire season,” said SFU head coach Alan Koch in the release.

“We didn’t show up for the first 30 minutes and conceded a goal, and then it wasn’t until we woke up and started to impose our will on them that we took control.”

The Clan dominated the second half, outshooting the Great

Northwest regular season runner-up 9-1 and 15-8 overall.

Mateo Espinosa had perhaps SFU’s best chance to score, pouncing on a loose ball in the box in the 70th minute, but his 12-yard shot deflected wide off the foot of a sprawling Alfredo Ontiveros in the Nazarene net.

Joel Malouf also had a good oportunity to tie the game up on a cross in front late in the game.

With five minutes left to play, Malouf just missed the goal on a

14-yard volley from the centre of the box.

“We showed the desire to get the job done, and we created opportunities, but their keeper made some outstanding saves and we ran out of time,” said Koch.

Brandon Watson was the top student-athlete in recent Great Northwest academic all-conference balloting. The sophomore Clan keeper sported a 4.15 grade point average in kinesiology.

Hoop Royals sweep, upsets in volleyball

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The Douglas College Royals remained in tie for first place in PacWest women’s basketball with back-to-back wins over Columbia Bible College and Kwantlen Polytechnic last week.

Ellen Fallis came off the bench to score 17 points to lead the Royals to a 76-37 win over the lastplace Bearcats at home on Friday.

Nanaya Miki posted a double-double in Saturday’s 61-46 win over Kwantlen to help Douglas improve its league-leading record to 5-0.

Miki scored 12 points on six-of-nine shooting and grabbed 13 rebounds for the Royals.

The Douglas women will be in Squamish this Friday for a first-place matchup against Quest University.

“They like to run a ton,” said Douglas head coach Courtney Gerwing of Quest’s high-scoring offence.

But with the stingiest defence in the league, Gerwing believes the Royals will match up well against the Sea-to-Sky school.

Douglas also remembers how Quest knocked them out of the provincials last year.

“Our offence is not predicated on one or two people, it makes us hard to scout and prep for,” Gerwing said.

The Royal men moved up to fourth place in PacWest hoops with a similar weekend sweep.

Kristian Hildebrandt scored 20 points, including four three-pointers, and Jacob Juras counted 19 points for Douglas in Friday’s 99-68 win over CBC. On Saturday, Malcolm Mensah and Andrew Bacon both posted doubledoubles in a 79-67 victory over Kwantlen.

Mensah tallied 17 points, 13 rebounds and four blocked shots, while Bacon had 16 points and 12 boards.

In PacWest volleyball, Douglas College landed its first big fish in women’s play.

Afterlossestoconference leaders Camosun College and Capilano University back in October, Douglas got its first victory over a top-three school, upsetting second-place Fraser Valley 3-1 in the opening game of a two-match series last Friday.

Douglas won 26-24, 2517, 19-25, 25-19 to chalk up a third win in PacWest play. The Royals dropped Saturday’s matchup 3-0 to remain in fifth place with a 3-5 record.

The Douglas men’s team had its six-game winning streak stopped by Fraser Valley, losing a five-setter on the road in a 15-10 tiebreaker.

The nationally secondranked Royals got back in the win column on Saturday, blanking Fraser Valley 3-0.

The Royals take on second-place 6-2 Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo this weekend.

David Haeber had a big return on his third-quarter pick and Nick Hauka sealed the deal with back-to-back intercepts late in the game to keep the Bears off the scoresheet.
