The labour “machine” mattersin New Westminster elections,according to independent candi-dates who didn’t win a single seaton city council Saturday.

New Westminster and DistrictLabour Council-endorsed candi-dates swept city hall and won fiveof seven seats on the school board,proving that the powerful anoint-ment means something in an NDPstronghold, say the critics.

“I guess slate politics works. Itlooks like a slate to me from thesenumbers,” former councillor CalDonnelly said after the resultsrolled in Saturday night.

The labour endorses can-didates throughout the LowerMainland. The organization con-tributes funds, manpower and,through phone calls and mailouts,encourages its many union mem-bers to vote for labour-approvedcandidates who have sought andgone through an approval pro-cess.

“I am disappointed that voterturnout didn’t get higher, andI am disappointed that it’s acomplete sweep,” said McBride-Sapperton Residents’ Associationpresident Catherine Cartwright,who came just behind newcomerMary Trentadue by 352 votes,according to preliminary results.

Tourism New Westminsterexecutive director Tej Kainth wasjust 54 votes behind Cartwright.

Although candidates talkedabout the need for balance at citycouncil, that didn’t translate intovotes at the polls.

“I can’t tell you what hap-pened because on the street it res-onated,” Cartwright said. “Maybeit’s who came to vote and whodidn’t?”

Independent candidates pro-vided another perspective on cityissues to the debate during thecampaign, but that was no matchfor the money provided by labour,candidate Harm Woldring said.

Woldring said unions contrib-uted more than $30,000 to localcandidates in 2011 and he expectsthat figure to soar this timearound.

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

Woldring, a downtown busi-nessman who got 1,610 votes,

believes a sweep by the labour-endorsed council candidates willbe “a disaster” for the city andbusiness in the city. While busi-ness had somewhat of a voicewith former Coun. Betty McIntoshand Mayor Wayne Wright,Woldring fears that balance willbe gone.

“They don’t know a thingabout economic development orthey wouldn’t be crucifying busi-nesses in this community,” hesaid. “You can’t run a small busi-ness in this community.”

In addition to tightening ruleson union financing of electioncampaigns, Woldring also thinksthere’s a need for term limits incivic politics.

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

First-time candidate DavidBrett, who placed 10th in thecouncil race, echoed the com-ments of other candidates whoweren’t endorsed by the labourcouncil.

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

whelming resources, in terms ofbudgets, advertising, the kind ofcoordinated campaign.”

According to Brett, first-timecandidates were “squired abouttown by the NDP brass” andintroduced to the community.

While “dire consequences” isa bit too strong wording, Brettthinks New Westminster will suf-fer by having elected a full councilof labour-supported candidates,particularly in its relationshipswith senior levels of government.

“I think he brought a pro-busi-ness, can-do attitude and kindof carried the rest of the councilon his shoulders,” he said ofWright. “I have heard some of thepeople on the labour side evensay themselves they fear group-think. When you have too manypeople in strong agreement, youcan come to believe the directionyou are going is right. If you don’thave any skeptical voice at thetable, things can go wrong.”

Can the level of engagement seen dur-ing the trustee race continue? That’s some-thing trustee-elect Kelly Slade-Kerr is hop-ing for.

Surrounded by family and friendson election night, Slade-Kerr was nearlyspeechless as she watched the results comein from city hall.

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

Slade-Kerr, a first-time candidate, ledthe race with more than 8,100 votes follow-ing the preliminary count, garnering morevotes than the new mayor.

The recent teachers’ strike was the sparkthat lit the match for parent engagement inNew West.

“I said the silver lining in this educationdispute is going to be parent engagementin the election, and it’s come true,” shesaid Saturday night.

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

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

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

parency regarding its budget woes hadmany parents feeling frustrated.

Since then, Gaitpman has pulled backthe curtain on the district’s management.These changes, coupled with the teach-ers’ strike, seem to have had an effect onthis year’s civic election, Jonina Campbellsaid.

In 2011, Campbell (who was runningfor trustee for the first time) received themost support in the trustee race with 5,825votes. Slade-Kerr surpassed that numberby more than 2,300 votes on Saturdaynight.

Campbell agreed with Slade-Kerr, say-ing she’s noticed parents have becomemore engaged in public education over thepast six months.

“I think with the strike, the high school,parents are starting to pay attention interms of what’s happening both locallyand provincially in public education, and Ithink that’s really a great thing,” she said.“What I really hope to see is that samelevel of engagement over the four years,not just during election time.”

To keep this going, trustees and staffneed to work hard to make sure they’recommunicating effectively with parentsand the community alike, Campbell said.

Speechless: First-time trustee candidate Kelly Slade-Kerr was all smiles on electionnight. Preliminary results show Slade-Kerr led the race with more than 8,100 votes– more votes than even the new mayor received.

We won’t let you forget all those promisesMost of the election signs are down,

we know the results and barring post-election analysis, it’s time to get downto the business of running the city andschool district.

But before we file Election2014 under history, let’s pausefor a moment and reflect. Nomatter your political stripe, orpersonal convictions, or lackthereof, it’s not easy throwing your hat inthe ring for political office.

It takes tenacity, perhaps courage, usu-ally some of your own money, definitely

some of your own precious time, andshoulders broad enough to take respon-sibility for your actions on the campaigntrail and a skin thick enough to take criti-cism.

It isn’t easy to stand up atan all-candidates’ meeting andspeak to a roomful of voters– many of whom are there totake their best shots at you on

behalf of a rival candidate. It isn’t easydoor-knocking in your community. Everysalesperson knows the “cold call” is theroughest ... that empty feeling in the pit

of your stomach when you think thedoor will be slammed in your face. And,of course, the civic election is held inNovember, making the campaign trail acold and often dark and wet one.

So, we salute all of those who puttheir names forward in this civic election.

And to those who will represent thecitizens of New Westminster for the nextfour years, we have this to say: Don’t bestrangers.

You said you would be available, youwould listen and you would value citizeninput. We’re expecting you to keep that

promise. Several of you also said youwere keenly aware of the duty of govern-ment to keep citizens informed and forcity hall to be accountable and transpar-ent. We won’t let you forget that pledge.Many also said they were running to fixthe broken things in the city – transporta-tion, ailing infrastructure. Others wantedto build a greener, more family-friendlycity and get that darn new high schoolbuilt. We sure hope it wasn’t just a salespitch, because we’re taking you at yourword – all of you. And, by the way, con-gratulations!

Gambling isn’tgoing anywhere

The latest move to study(and perhaps eventuallyreduce) problem gambling

is welcome news, but don’t thinkfor a minute it’s a sign the prov-incial government is any lessvoracious when it comes to gob-bling up money from gamblers.

Last week saw the estab-lishment of the new Centrefor Gambling Research at theUniversity of B.C. A UBC newsrelease said the centre’s keygoals are “probing the psychol-ogy of gambling, helping prob-lem gamblers and enhancinggaming policy.”

There will be a “casino lab”created in the centre, whichsounds nifty. It will have slotmachines and other games, andit will measure things like heartrates and brain responses ofgamblers.

The whole thing is being paidfor by a $2-million grant fromthe B.C. government and theB.C. Lottery Corporation. This isall well and good.

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

The B.C. government, likeevery other provincial govern-ment (if not governments pretty

much everywhere), long agobecame addicted to revenuesflowing its way from the gam-bling industry.

It wasn’t always like this, ofcourse. For decades, if a personwanted to gamble legally (Istress that word) in this prov-ince, such activities were basic-ally confined to horse racing, thecrown and anchor wheel on thecarnival midway (I used to oper-ate one, by the way) and perhapsan annual Grey Cup pool or theold Irish Hospital Sweepstakeshorse race.

That changed in the mid-1970s, when a national lotterywas established to help pay forMontreal’s Olympic Games in1976. The Olympics came andwent, but the lottery stayed.

Then, in 1985, provinceswere given control of gambling.One can just imagine provincialfinancial ministers of the daysalivating at the prospect of awhole new revenue stream beingopened up to them.

And open it up it did, asprovincial lotteries becamebigger and bigger. Eventually,casinos were brought into being,and with them the biggest cashcow of all: slot machines andother electronic game machines.

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

That money is distributed, inpart, to non-profit arts, culture

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Expansion ‘bad news’ for areaDear Editor:

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

But their good news, is bad news for the neigh-bourhood for the following reasons that all stemfrom that well-known phrase: “Location, Location,Location.” The “bad news” for the neighbourhoodinvolves the following issues:

1. Safety: the increased volume of traffic as chil-dren are dropped off and picked up in a residentialarea that is already on the route for children ofthe newly built Qayqayt Elementary School will

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

2. Parking: even though the proposed redevel-opment includes the provision of an additional 20parking spaces, the proposed expansion will exacer-bate the existing parking problems in what is still aresidential neighbourhood.

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

consolidated property in the UrbanAcademy proposal is 3,341 metres squared(from Committee of the Whole CouncilAgenda, June 23, p. 56) This is eight timessmaller than the B.C. Ministry of EducationArea Standards. Even though we need tobe flexible, council should ensure that stan-dards for private school facilities should besimilar to those of public school facilities.

4. Affordable housing: Urban Academyhas already purchased the eight-unit apart-ment building at 228 Manitoba St. There isreal risk that the affordable housing andlong-term community enjoyed by those

residents will be displaced/eliminated.This is not in keeping with the spirit of thecity’s affordable housing initiative.

5. Heritage: the proposed, creativearchitectural plan wraps the current herit-age building inside a modern school envel-ope and degrades the heritage value of theexisting site. Is this in keeping with theintention of the Heritage RevitalizationAgreement initiative?

Good news for Urban Academy isindeed bad news for the neighbourhood.I hope the city can work with UrbanAcademy to enable them to achieve theirvision in the right location.

The New Westminster Record is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing

and sports groups (likeyour local Little Leaguebaseball team) and tomunicipalities that hostcasinos (which helpsexplain the often mutedopposition to gamingexpansion by municipal-ities). But the vast majority(almost $900 million) goesto the government’s gen-eral revenue fund.

The government’s directshare of the gambling pieis enough to fund, to pickjust one area, what thegovernment spends on allsocial services in an entireyear. This isn’t chumpchange we’re talking aboutfolks, which is why anynotion that the govern-ment – any government– is going to spend gobsof cash treating problemgamblers has dim pros-pects of becoming reality.

There are valid argu-ments to curtail a casino’soperating hours, reducethe number of slot

machines (which are par-ticularly insidious when itcomes to attracting prob-lem gamblers) and anynumber of other measuresaimed at making gamblinga bit harder to access.

But the fact is, evenwith that $2 million grantfor UBC, the money spentannually on problem gam-bling is less than one percent of the profits govern-ment earn on that activity.

And as long as govern-ments refuse to even havea dialogue about revisitingour tax system, they willcontinue to look greedilyat any prospective rev-enues that allow them tomeet ever-rising publicexpectations for govern-ment services, whetherthey are for health care,education, social services,or whatever.

So until a political partystakes out new turf, andputs things like an incometax hike, a substantial cor-porate tax increase, or a

big reduction in spending,revenue generators likethe gambling industry willcontinue to be an indis-pensable part of the socialfabric, as distasteful asmany people find that.

B.C. Provincial HealthOfficer Perry Kendall, inhis groundbreaking reporton gambling released lastyear, has estimated thereare about 31,000 peoplestruggling, at variousdegrees, with problemgambling in this province.

But even with laudablemeasures being taken,such as establishing theCentre for GamblingResearch at UBC, I’mafraid many of thosepeople will end up beingcollateral damage resultingfrom the government’sceaseless efforts to findmoney to pay for thethings that everyone wants– but don’t really want topay any more for them.

A hotly contested mayor’s race, sunnyskies and efforts to spark the vote in NewWestminster translated into more voterson election day.

Depending on which figures you wantto believe, turnout for the 2014 civic elec-tion is either 32.5 per cent or 28.46 percent.

“It was really an excellent turnout,”said Isabelle Hadford, the city’s chief elec-tion officer. “I was really excited to see allthe people come out to vote. There werelineups everywhere. There was a lot ofinterest generated. The lineups startedright at 8 o’clock in the morning and wentall day. There was a lot of interest in it. Itwas really exciting to see that people wereso interested in coming out to vote.”

Hadford said there were a lot of newregistrations on election day, but she didn’thave the figure available. All totaled, 14,564people cast votes in New Westminster.

Hadford said the city’s practice has

always been to calculate voter turnout onthe total number of registered voters. Withcity figures showing 44,768 registered vot-ers, the turnout would be 32.5 per cent.

Civic Info B.C., however, used censusfigures to calculate turnout. With censusdata showing 51,166 eligible voters, theturnout would be 28.46 per cent,

“There’s some debate on that. We havea different number than Civic Info B.C.,”Hadford said. “We have the number ofregistered voters at 44,768. That was fromour voters list. Civic Info B.C. has a dif-ferent amount. They have generated theirnumber through census.”

Either way, more people voted in the2014 civic election than in 2011, when10,614 people (23.45 per cent) voted. It alsoexceeds the 23.86 per cent turnout in 2008and the 25.84 per cent turnout in 2005.

“Thank you for all the electorate com-ing out and voting,” Hadford said. “Thatwas great.”

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

Incumbent candidateCasey Cook, who was alsore-elected on Saturday, dis-agreed that parent engage-ment is a new concept.

“I introduced a motionthat had a parents’ bill ofrights, and that was threeyears ago. So for peo-ple to be talking parentengagement, that certainlyis not new for MaryAnn(Mortensen) and I,” he

said. “We’ve been talk-ing in those terms for aslong as we’ve been on theboard.”

Re-elected for her sec-ond term, Mortensen waspleased with the numberof families who took partin the discussion duringthis election.

“Door knocking pro-duced a lot of parents withreally young kids whomentioned that in some

parts of New West they feelreally disengaged from therest of the city, but they’reinterested in the politics,”she said.

The remaining threetrustee seats went toincumbents Michael Ewen,who has served on theschool board for about 35years, James Janzen, whohas served for more than20 years, and newly electedtrustee Mark Gifford.

It was a mixed bag of emotions atJames Crosty headquarters on electionnight.

The two-time candidate appearedcalm and collected as poll results start-ed coming in. It quickly became clearCrosty hadn’t made as big a dentas he hoped and early results hadhim in third place in the city’s may-oral race with 1,345 votes – more than4,000 votes behind Wayne Wright andJonathan Cote.

“You can only do this so many timesbefore you have to say, ‘It’s difficult towin in a labour town.’ We knew thatfrom the outgoing,” Crosty said.

Crosty had been banking on thehope that the race between Wright andCote would result in a split that wouldhave seen him come up the middle forthe win, but that didn’t pan out.

This campaign has been a positiveexperience for Crosty, who first ranfor mayor of New Westminster threeyears ago (a race in which he garneredmore than 3,100 votes). He credits thechange to his battle with prostate can-cer and having to care for his partner’smother.

“I had a one-year battle on that andI’m two years cancer free,” he said. “Icall it a shotgun at your head. All of asudden you realize you just can’t holdon to the past, you can only do whatyou can do today.

“The election before I was gettingscowls and dirty looks because I wasthe only really one opposing Wayne

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

This time around, Crosty had adifferent strategy – he put forward aspecific platform of ideas, includingthe Stormont connector, a women’scommission and synchronized street-lights.

But it seems that wasn’t enough.“I think we’re headed down a very

serious path with all district labourcouncil candidates and that’s anotherreason why it would be difficult to runin this city again,” he said.

When asked if he had any advicefor Jonathan Cote, the new mayor-elect, he replied, “Good luck.”

Vladimir Krasnogor, the fourth can-didate in the mayoral race, also sawa drop in the number of votes he gar-nered in his second run for a civic seat.

In 2011, he received 1,098 voteswhen he ran for council. This timearound, setting his sights on the may-or’s seat, Krasnogor managed to getonly 315 votes of the 14,470 ballots castin the mayoral race, according to thepreliminary results.

Crosty calm in face of defeat

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

Bailey bridgecoming soon

Motorists who are clam-oring to cross the Bailey

bridge will have a whilelonger to wait.

Installation of the firstbridge has taken placeand it will be opening topedestrians and cyclists byNov. 19. Vehicles, however,won’t be allowed on thebridge until drainage andfoundation works neededto accommodate the secondbridge are done. That workis scheduled to be complet-ed by the end of the month.

In August, NewWestminster andCoquitlam reached anagreement about howto proceed with a two-lane crossing in the Braidindustrial area. While NewWestminster wanted tokeep a single-lane cross-ing in the area, Coquitlampushed for a two-lane

crossing – a decision sup-ported by an arbitrator.

MLA highlightsNew West’sconcerns

New Westminster MLAJudy Darcy recently sound-ed alarms in Victoria aboutsome pressing local needsthat she thinks are beingignored.

Following thethrone speech in theB.C. Legislature, Darcyexpressed concerns thatthere’s inadequate fundingfor public education andthe dire need to replace theaging New WestminsterSecondary School.

“This government hasrecognized since 2005 that anew high school is needed,

yet the capital project for anew New West SecondarySchool has faced delay afterdelay after delay,” she said.“The fact that such excel-lent learning goes on inour high school is an enor-mous credit to our incred-ible teachers and supportstaff. The students in mycommunity deserve better.They deserve 21st-centurylearning in an environmentthat meets their needs.”

In her response to thethrone speech, Darcy, theNDP’s health critic, alsospoke about health careissues in New Westminsterand across the province,saying the governmentfocuses on LNG.

“What about emergencydepartments? Well, thehospital in my community,

Royal Columbian routinelymakes headlines, most fre-quently for … the overflowin the emergency room,”said Darcy. “But the front-line staff who work inemergency – the doctors,the nurses, the admittingclerks – will tell you thatthe crisis in emergency isfar from an isolated occur-rence. It’s something thatthey live with every singleweek.”

But labour-council supporters insist it’snot just the union endorsement that madethe difference for newcomers in this elec-tion. Plain old-fashioned hard work alsohelped push the newcomers into theirseat, they say.

“The district labour council endorse-ment is a factor, but it is not the mostimportant factor,” said resident BrianaTomkinson, who has a presence in thecity’s Twitter community and started alongtime blog on community and civicissues. “The DLC endorsement is a lotof different things, and I don’t think anysingle one of those things is the silver bul-let it’s made out to be.”

The two new district labour-endorsedcouncillors, Mary Trentadue (a formerNorth Vancouver city councillor whomoved to New West abouttwo years ago) and PatrickJohnstone, knocked on thou-sands of doors, mobilizedvolunteers and fostered con-nections to get their name outthere, said Tomkinson.

“They campaigned harder,frankly, than most of the non-endorsed candidates,” shesaid.

Wright, and otherindependents raised the issueof the labour “machine”during his election cam-paign. Tomkinson, alongwith Johnstone, who wrote alengthy blog about the topicafter The Record publishedthree stories, including aneditorial on the possibility ofhaving a fully labour-endorsedcouncil, saw the discussionaround the labour endorse-ment as a “sideshow.”

“(It) had nothing to do withissues, particularly for the incumbentcandidates that were highlighting themachine as a reason not to pick progres-sive candidates,” said Tomkinson.

She didn’t want the machine talk to“discount the hard work candidates putin.”

“The new faces on there are really, real-ly good,” she said. “They’ve done theirhomework; they are not just being floatedin and being parachuted in by the DLCand being handed their victory.”

As well, Tomkinson said she didn’tsee the same level of energy from theindependent candidates.

“It bothers me when you see peoplegiving themselves a pass for not stepping

up to the plate,” she said of independentcandidates who blame the “machine” fortheir loss.

Labour-endorsed newly electedcouncillor Johnstone, an environmentalcoordinator for the City of Richmond,said you can’t single out any part of thecampaign and say it had the single big-gest impact.

“You know what made a difference?My domination of the social media inthe city during the election made a dif-ference,” he said. “The more than 2,000doors I knocked on during this electionmade a difference, the hard work of mybrilliant campaign manager. The hardwork of all of the volunteers who workedon my campaign made a difference. The14 hours I spent of the last day before theelection running around town, knock-

ing on doors and talking topeople, that made a differ-ence.”

Johnstone agreed withTomkinson, saying the new-comers who didn’t have namerecognition worked the hard-est to get elected.

Johnstone sought thelabour endorsement becausehe “wanted to run besideJonathan Cote,” he told TheRecord.

New Westminster MLAJudy Darcy also campaignedfor the 35-year-old mayor-electto win the seat.

Though New Westminsteris a labour stronghold withNDP politicians in Victoriaand Ottawa, Darcy said itdoesn’t mean labour endorsedcandidates can rest on theirlaurels when it comes to cam-paigning.

“I worked for a year and ahalf knocking on doors when I ran prov-incially, so the fact that it’s been an NDPseat historically doesn’t make it a safe seatforever,” she said. “What matters most inmy experience is the face-to-face contactin the community on the doorstep andvolunteers.”

The first-term MLA didn’t think hav-ing a full labour council at city hall anda majority on school board would nega-tively impact the city’s dealing with B.C.Liberal provincial government and feder-al Conservatives, saying Cote had workedas a part of the same team as Wright andthey were successful at attracting projectsand funding from other levels of govern-ment.

“I worked for ayear and a halfknocking ondoors when Iran provincially,so the fact thatit’s been an NDPseat historicallydoesn’t make ita safe seat for-ever.”JUDY DARCYNDP MLA, New West

THE VANCOUVERMEN’S CHORUS

Presents a concert…Making Spirits Bright

For the second year in a row, theAdrian Oliver Memorial Run raised morethan $10,000 for New Westminster-basedHonour House.

About 300 people braved frigid tem-peratures on Saturday to run the five-kilometre charity run around Deer LakePark in Burnaby, Const. Ben Oliver withthe Burnaby RCMP told The Record onMonday.

The run is in memory of Oliver’s broth-er Adrian, who was a constable with theSurrey RCMP. Adrian was killed while onduty in November 2012 when a semi-truckcrashed into his police cruiser.

Last year was the first year for the event– organized by Oliver and a few otherfriends – and about 200 people turnedout for the run. This year, about 100 morepeople took part in the fundraiser, raisingnearly $17,000 for Honour House, Oliver

said.“The raffle and the silent auction

brought in close to $10,000 and then every-thing else was around $7,000,” he said.“We were pretty happy with the turnout.It was good – short and sweet just like wewanted it.”

All the money raised will be donated toHonour House, which provides temporaryhousing for families of Canadian Forcesand first responders.

When Adrian was killed two years ago,the Oliver family stayed at Honour House.The stay made such an impact during thattragic time that Oliver decided to organizea fundraiser for the house in Adrian’shonour.

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

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

Run raises $17,000for Honour House

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

The Royal WestminsterRegiment Museum unveiled anew monument just in time forRemembrance Day.

Terry Leith, president of theRoyal Westminster RegimentHistorical Society, said the muse-um was thrilled to have the offi-cial opening of a new monumentoutside the Armouries.

“It’s a universal carrier, com-monly called a Bren Gun carrier.They were used during the SecondWorld War and onwards,” hesaid. “We’ve got one, and we’vegot it set up as a monument forall the soldiers.”

The Royal WestminsterRegiment held a dedication cer-emony on Nov. 9.

“It’s finally in place,” Leithsaid. “We have been talking aboutthis for about 10 years.”

Keith said the project had abudget of $10,000, which “prettywell covered” the costs – the BrenGun carrier itself was $5,500.

The Royal WestminsterRegiment Museum found the car-rier in Victoria and spent abouttwo years working on the proj-ect. The carrier’s mechanics hadto be altered in order to meet

Department of National Defence(DND) requirements.

“We had to modify it to DNDstandards,” Leith said. “To puta vehicle like that outside anarmory it can’t be in runningcondition.”

While a driver would normal-ly sit inside the vehicle, that’sbeen covered so kids won’t climbinside.

Other safety considerationsmandated that the carrier bebolted down on the pad out-side its new home in front ofthe Royal Westminster RegimentArmouries.

“This vehicle is one of themost produced armored fight-ing vehicles. They manufactured113,000 of them,” Leith said ofthe vehicles that were made inCanada and England. “Canadahad 29,000.”

The Royal WestminsterRegiment Museum’s next projectis to restore a cannon currentlylocated outside the Armouries onQueens Avenue.

“We have to take it to a com-pany that will sandblast it for us.From there it will go to a placewhere it is repainted,” Leith said.“While that’s all being done, weare going to fix up the pad thatit’s on.”

New monument recalls Second World War

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

ALL PROCEEDS GO TOBC CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

Disneyland hasalways been afavourite holiday

destination for my family.When my daughter wassmall, we could spendmore time in lineups tomeet her favourite prin-cesses than to get on thebusiest rides, but fairytalemagic had no power overnature; we would oftenarrive at the front of theline, when a princess hadto take a break. It happenedso often that my daughterstarted to harbour grudges

against Cinderella.Disney has raised gen-

erations of women withmore positive identificationwith princesses and theirstories. Virtually everyyoung woman I know hasa favourite Disney princess.

Some may still dreamof the magic of true love’skiss.

Unrealistic expectationscan set us up for disap-pointment. Falling in loveis like a psychosis that pre-vents us from clearly seeingthe other as a real person:qualities are exaggeratedand faults minimized.

In the grip of infatu-ation, we may not becapable of making ratio-nal decisions. If patientswith advanced dementia,delirium or psychosis arenot able to make their ownmedical decisions, should

those madly in love notbe allowed to get married(at least until the end of acooling off period whena prince turns back into atoad or a beast and has theopportunity to leave thelily pad up once too often)?

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

When the honeymoonends, we become disen-chanted and “happily everafter” becomes work. Wecan start competing withone another and keepingtrack of what we compro-mise. In the ledger of whatwe give and take from arelationship, we all lose.

To avoid disappoint-ment, should we give upthe search for the one truelove who is our perfectpartner and soul mate?

The love we seek is anemotional, spiritual andsocial ideal but is withinour reach. The love wehave sought from someoneelse is what we must nur-ture within our own hearts.It is unconditional love.

It is like a physician’sunconditional positiveregard for his patient,wherein the needs of thepatient take precedenceover those of the physician.The well-being of the othercomes first.

We are human and welove imperfectly. Moreoften than not, our affec-tions for one another areconditional. If our partnersdisappoint and displeaseus, we hold back our love.We project our own idealsand identity onto our chil-dren and if they fail to liveto our standards and rules,

they may feel we love themless.

Unconditional love doesnot judge but easily for-gives. It is like a best friendwho knows everythingabout you but accepts youand loves you anyway;who tells you what youneed to know, sees the bestin you and pushes you tolive your potential.

We are human and welove imperfectly, but wemust accept ourselves andthe love we have receivedas imperfect as it may be.Our world is not perfectbut there is still beauty in it.We are not perfect but stillworthy of love.

By nurturing uncon-ditional love, we maylive more happily everafter, accepting ourselves,improving our relation-ships and becoming better

parents.As an exercise to devel-

op more unconditionallove, picture first some-one you care about andsay, “May you be happy,healthy, peaceful andsafe.” Then picture in turnsomeone you feel neutralabout (no particular feel-ings whatsoever), someoneyou have a quarrel with,and yourself, while say-ing, “May you be happy,healthy, peaceful and safe.”

If you practise thisexercise regularly, you willbecome an agent of posi-tive change – beginningfirst in your own heart andspreading to the worldaround you.

Moscrop girlssecond at 4Achampionships

The Moscrop Panthersgot the win they wanted atthe Lower Mainland quadA high school girls’ volley-ball championships.

The five-time Burnaby/New Westminster districtchampions placed runner-up following a 3-1 loss totop-ranked Argyle in thezone championships atHandsworth onSaturday.

But it was amarathon five-settiebreak win overthe host and No. 4-ranked Royals thatmay well have been themost important win of theday.

“I’m glad that we beatthe team that we neededto beat in the semis,” saidMoscrop coach Kim Or.“Now we can breathe a sighof relief as we prepare forthe AAAA in Cranbrook.”

The win may also proveto give the former eighth-seeded Panthers a higherseeding at the provincials,Or added.

The semifinal matchwas a thriller from start tofinish, with Moscrop com-ing out on top following an18-16 win in the tiebreaker.

The Panthers took aclose opening set 25-23.Ernestine Tiamzon ledthe way with six kills andtwo blocked shots, whileIsabella Cheung addedfour kills and one serviceace for Moscrop.

Handsworth came backto tie with a 25-18 win inset 2, but Moscrop kept thepressure on with a come-back 25-21 win in the fol-

lowing set.Trailing 15-10 in the

third set, Tiamzon turnedthings around with the firstof her five kills in the set.

Moscrop was leadingthe fourth set 21-18 at onepoint but eventually lost25-23 despite an eight-killouting by Cheung.

In the tiebreak, Cheungtallied two of her 26 totalkills to gain the final twogame-winning points,

while Tiamzon fin-ished with 18 win-ners overall.

Marija Bojanicteamed up withElianna Guo fortwo of her three

blocks in the fifth and finalset, while adding an acethat made the score 7-4and a kill that put Moscropahead 13-10.

“It’s a pretty big win.Our goal was to get into theprovincials, and we madeit,” said Tiamzon after thegame. “I think every killwe get motivates us to dobetter. We see each othergetting better. ... The thingis we just have to keepcalm and go on to the nextpoint.”

Burnaby North fin-ished sixth overall at theMainlands following a 3-0loss to Winston Churchill.

Hyacks leap first-round hurdleMatt Seymour was all New

Westminster needed to end a first-round playoff curse.

The senior All-East conferencewide receiver scored three straighttouchdowns between the secondand third quarters to help the NewWestminster Hyacks to a 40-7 winover the Mt. Boucherie Bears in aB.C. high school AAA wild cardfootball playoff at Mercer Stadiumon Friday.

The victory was the first playoffwin in five seasons for the varsityHyacks and sets up a second-roundmatchup with No. 1-ranked TerryFox Ravens this week.

“We wanted to make a statement.We wanted it to be meaningful, that’sfor sure,” said Seymour after earn-ing player of the game honours. “Itwas the last game at Mercer for theseniors and a good way to go out.”

With the Hyacks leading 12-7 latein the second quarter, Seymour tooka short pass over the middle fromJamie Shiho, froze a defender witha step inside and then raced halfthe length of the field for his first ofthree scores.

Seymour also scored a TD offNew Westminster’s opening posses-sion of the second half following a22-yard run by Brian Cagamapan tothe Bears’ 12-yard line.

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

The third TD was a perfectlyexecuted jet sweep that showcasedSeymour’s athleticism and nearlyset a program record as the longestrun from scrimmage.

Seymour easily outlegged theopposition, racing 97 yards on anend-round play up the left side ofthe field to put the Hyacks on top32-7. Wayne Palmer kicked the extra

point.Vivie Bojilov holds the Hyacks’

longest run from scrimmage on a 99-yard romp set in 2009.

Seymour currently holds the pro-gram’s longest pass reception record– a 95-yard touchdown effort againstNotre Dame this season.

Jordan Guzman, with a 19-yardrun in the fourth quarter, closed outthe scoring for New West.

“It was an important win as a pro-gram. We had to get past that,” saidHyacks head coach Farhan Lalji.

Mt. Boucherie took the openingkickoff into the end zone after a six-minute drive downfield.

New West replied with a march ofits own, capped off by a seven-yardrush up the middle by Marcel Wang.Palmer’s PAT was blocked to keepthe Bears on top 7-6.

Soccer Clan stopped in first-round NCAA playoffSimon Fraser University was

stopped short of a third consecu-tive trip to the NCAA men’s soc-cer Final Four.

The varsity Clan lost its first-round matchup with GreatNorthwest conference foeNorthwest Nazarene 1-0 in a neu-tral-site Division II playoff gameat Seattle Pacific University onNov. 13.

Red-shirt freshman midfielderMarshall Hartley scored the onlygoal of the game in the 23rd min-ute for Northwest Nazarene tosend the No. 5-seeded Clan homeearly after reaching the DivisionII semifinals in each of the pasttwo seasons.

“History would tell us thatone goal is not usually enough tobeat those guys (SFU), but we’verealized just how exceptional weare defensively,” said Nazarenehead coach Coe Michaelson in a

Clan press release.SFU came into the game on a

six-game winning streak, scoring11 goals in its last four games.

“The game characterized ourentire season,” said SFU headcoach Alan Koch in the release.“We didn’t show up for the first30 minutes and conceded a goal,and then it wasn’t until we wokeup and started to impose our willon them that we took control.”

The Clan dominated the sec-ond half, outshooting the Great

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

Mateo Espinosa had perhapsSFU’s best chance to score, pounc-ing on a loose ball in the box inthe 70th minute, but his 12-yardshot deflected wide off the foot ofa sprawling Alfredo Ontiveros inthe Nazarene net.

Joel Malouf also had a goodoportunity to tie the game up ona 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 ofthe box.

“We showed the desire to getthe job done, and we createdopportunities, but their keepermade some outstanding savesand we ran out of time,” saidKoch.

Brandon Watson was the topstudent-athlete in recent GreatNorthwest academic all-confer-ence balloting. The sophomoreClan keeper sported a 4.15 gradepoint average in kinesiology.




Musgrove in the end zone on a 31-yardpass reception.

After that, New West’s defence steppedup and shut down the visitors the rest ofway, including four interceptions.

Jonathan Tomalty got the first to stall alast-minute drive to end the first half.

David Haeber had a big return onhis third-quarter pick and Nick Haukasealed the deal with back-to-back inter-cepts late in the game to keep the Bearsoff the scoresheet.

Conference all-stars Jeff Lugtu and

Jorge Yarwood led the Hyacks in tackleswith nine apiece.

New West takes on Terry Fox in thesecond-round playoff at Percy PerryStadium on Friday. Kickoff is at 7:30p.m.

“I want (the players) to approach thisweek with the belief that they can win,”said Lalji. “We have the top offensivelineman, the top defensive lineman andthe top receiver. We have good playershere. We should believe we can play withanybody.”
