New West homeowners see drop in assessed value Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Assessments for residential properties in New West are dropping at a similar rate to other Lower Mainland cities, says BC Assessment. Owners of more than a million properties throughout the Lower Mainland are now receiving their 2020 assessment notices, which reflect market value as of July 1, 2019. “It is important to understand

that changes in property assessments do not automatically translate into a corresponding change in property taxes,” BC Assessment deputy assessor Brian Smith said in a press release. “As noted on your assessment notice, how your assessment changes relative to the average change in your community is what may affect your property taxes.” According to BC Assessment, assessments for residential singledetached homes in Metro Van-

couver saw decreases in value as high as 16% in West Vancouver. Next door in Burnaby, detached houses dropped 10%. BC Assessment said a typical single-family New West residential property was assessed at $1,147,000 in 2019 and $1,054,000 in 2020 – a drop of 8%. In terms of strata properties, BC Assessment reports the typical assessed value was $547,000 in 2019 and $500,000 in 2020,

which is a 9% drop. “This year, they seem to be moving a bit more in sync with each other,” Smith told the Record. “It’s just general market conditions are changing.” Smith said the Lower Mainland residential real estate market continues to see signs of moderation. “Depending on your location and property type, you will experience a different level of change on your 2020 assessment notice,” he said in a press release. “Homes lo-

cated in Whistler and Pemberton can expect a minimal increase in their assessments, whereas the rest of the region will likely experience a reduced assessment value.” In 2019, a residential property at 1016 Salter St. in Queensborough was assessed at $3,326,000 – the highest assessment in New Westminster. In 2020, that property’s assessment dropped to $1,963,000.

Mayor sets out council’s major goals for 2020

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Tackling climate change will be front and centre on council’s agenda in 2020. In a year-end interview with the Record, Mayor Jonathan Cote reflected on some of council’s accomplishments in 2019 and the city’s priorities for 2020. “I think 2020 is going to be an exciting year in the City of New Westminster. There are definitely some really big and important projects that we are looking forward in engaging with here. Having our strategic plan in place now really allows us to focus on some really important key areas and priorities in the community,” he said. “A lot of the work we started in 2019 is really going to be major themes of the work we are going to continue into 2020.” Cote said one of the biggest accomplishment of the new council was developing a new strategic plan that highlights its priorities for

its term in office. He said the city’s 2014 strategic plan was a bit broader and more project focused, whereas the new plan is more theme based. The city’s 2019 to 2022 strategic plan includes six main areas: affordable housing; sustainable transportation; climate change; innovation and sustainable cultural and economic development; reconciliation, social inclusion and civic engagement; and facilities and sustainable infrastructure. “We have really prioritized six core themes that really are going to be the main focus of our work, whereas in our last strategic plan we actually identified 32 projects that we wanted to get done in that term,” he said. “The one thing we are excited about with the new strategic plan is it really provides a lot more clearer direction about the main areas we want to really push forward, but actually leaves it open for what are the different ways we can actually

Moving forward: Mayor Jonathan Cote says tackling climate change is a major focus for council. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

help to achieve those areas.” In 2019, the city embraced initiatives relating to reconciliation, climate change and affordable housing. “I think this last term we made a lot of really good progress on the work we wanted to do on affordable housing,” Cote said. “We developed new policies to really restrict the challenges we are facing with renovictions.We have recently adopted our inclusionary zon-

ing policy, which I think is a real landmark policy in the City of New Westminster that we are really proud about trying to try and encourage more non-market housing to be built in our community.” Cote cited the completion of renovations to the New Westminster Public Library and the purchase a Brow of the Hill property for future park space as two of the city’s highlights in 2019. Looking ahead to 2020,

Cote said there are a number of big projects in the works, including the opening of the new Queen’s Park Sportsplex, which replaces the Arenex. “We are anticipating next year that construction will start on the replacement of the Canada Games Pool. That is by far one of the biggest infrastructure projects the city has worked on in a generation,” he said. “We have spent a lot of years planning but are looking forward to actually getting shovels in the ground and having that new aquatic and community centre start to take shape.” The City of New Westminster recently initiated a public engagement process related to the 2020 to 2024 financial plan and the city’s “seven bold steps” to tackle climate change. “I think we are looking forward to … really engaging both with the community and with council and staff on how do we actually follow through and start taking meaningful actions to start

to achieve those seven bold steps,” he said. “Working on the climate emergency and those seven bold steps are going to be front and centre in a lot of the work the city moves forward with in 2020.” Cote said the city anticipates the work on the climate emergency is going to have “some budget implications and budget pressures” so it needs to engage the community on the different options. “The reality is the work we want to do on the climate emergency and the seven bold steps, if they are not incorporated in the budget process and don’t actually have the resources, then they are really not meaningful bold steps at all,” he said. “We have definitely framed a lot of our budget process and the prioritization of the budget process is about what are the investments that are going to have the most impact when it comes to the work we are doing with climate change.”

City EDUCATION

IB changes are in the works Stories by Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster school district is making changes to its advanced education program with hopes of opening it up to more students. Currently, those wishing to enter the International Baccalaureate diploma program must take the pre-IB program in grades 9 and 10, according to a recent school board report. The IB program is an internationally recognized advanced education program for Grades 11 and 12, and some universities offer course credits to students graduating from the diploma program. The pre-IB program currently takes in about 90 New Westminster Secondary School students in Grade 9 each year, including 24 French immersion students, according to the district report. New West school district staff ran a review of the pro-

gram, including “inclusive practices,” scheduling, staffing and student success statistics over several years. Based on that review, staff recommended changes to the program that would essentially eliminate the pre-

IB program. Instead, the district will allow Grade 10 students to take advanced courses regardless of whether they’re registering for IB.The district will also offer the IB program – which runs

through grades 11 and 12 – to any Grade 10 student who wants to participate, regardless of whether they’ve taken the higher-level Grade 10 courses. “The upside of the change is that students are given the benefit of a vital transition year in high school – allowing all students the opportunity to engage in honours classes as well as in elective options (such as fine arts, for instance) should they wish to,” said school district spokesperson Holly Nathan in an email. “[The current system] restricted options for pre-IB students who had to give up electives allowing them to participate, for instance, in band classes. … The change effectively opens up opportunities for everybody.” Moving registration for IB from Grade 8 to Grade 10 also allows teachers opportunities to help guide their registration for the program, such as which courses to take.

COURT

Man nets jail time for SkyTrain theft

A man was sentenced to 14 days in jail for breaking into a SkyTrain facility and stealing nearly $50,000 worth of HVAC equipment. Curtis George Romanowski pleaded not guilty to mischief over $5,000, theft over $5,000 and break-and-enter in October over an incident at the Sapperton SkyTrain substation. In a November ruling published online last week, Romanowski was convicted on the theft and breakand-enter. In court, Romanowski attempted to muddy the waters, claiming items containing his DNA found at the site of the incident were not proof of his involvement in the incident. After an alarm was triggered at the substation on March 6, 2018, a maintenance worker found the HVAC system had been broken into and evaporator coils and condenser coils, containing copper, were missing.The worker also

found several items next to the HVAC system, including pliers, a bag, a glove and a hacksaw. Inside the bag, police found a needle, clothing and a work glove, which tested positive for Romanowski’s DNA. Romanowski argued in court his items could have been found there for a number of reasons, not all of which include his participation in the theft of the coils. But Judge Dan Sudeyko dismissed each of those reasons, saying the difficult access to the substation meant it was an “extremely unlikely” place to find shelter. Sudeyko similarly said it was “highly unlikely” the items were simply discarded at the substation. Sudeyko dismissed as “pure speculation” the notion that someone else could have brought the items to the substation while committing the theft.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Public deserves more details on the LifeLabs hack

You would have to be in denial not to be worried about the recent LifeLabs hack of the personal health information of 15 million Canadians. Both the experts commenting on the ransomware attack and the company’s CEO have done nothing to allay our concerns. It’s bad enough that the information was not locked down to prevent an attack, and it appears the information, such as names, addresses and personal health

numbers, likely ended up in the wrong hands. We’re supposed to be comforted by statements that the information hasn’t shown up – so far – on the dark web and that identity-theft protection and insurance is available for LifeLab customers for up to one year. Without more details, it’s hard to know exactly what happened and how, but experts surmise the information was encrypted to deny access and, once the ransom

was paid, access was again provided. It’s worrying that ransom had to be paid because payment may only encourage more such criminal activity. Apparently, the hack took place in October, but we only learned about it in December once a plan had been put in place and the system locked down. No one is coming out of this breach with a clean record. LifeLabs, of course, looks bad and has been roundly criticized by both

the Ontario and B.C. information and privacy commissioners. The commissioners are investigating the scope of the breach, circumstances leading up to it and what, if any, measures LifeLabs could have taken to prevent and contain the breach. But, while necessary, this investigation is a bit like closing the barn door after the horse has escaped. What we are learning now is that the information held by LifeLabs should have

been encrypted so that even if it was hacked, it couldn’t be used.What’s more, it appears that with each breach of banking and other information, hackers figure out new ways to attack public bodies for private gain. Even B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix looked relatively chagrined when he revealed how and when the cyberattack occurred and explained why the details were withheld from the public for so long. But as many have sug-

gested, governments need to do more to pass tougher laws to ensure the protection of private data, with costly fines to go along with them. They must also ensure their own information is protected to the highest level. As for the company, LifeLabs must provide a strong guarantee that information is safe. It will not easily regain the public’s confidence.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

BC NDP in tough on this protest

A pipeline protest is once again putting the BC NDP government in a political pickle. The energy project in question is the Coastal GasLink natural gas pipeline that will connect to the LNG Canada terminal in Kitimat. The company building the pipeline says it has signed benefits agreements with all 20 elected First Nations councils along the line’s route. However, five unelected “hereditary chiefs” of theWet’suwet’en First Nation oppose the project and are doing everything they can to block or disrupt its construction. The latest move by the five chiefs (and a handful of activist supporters) was to issue a so-called “eviction notice” to Coastal GasLink workers at a site near Houston, B.C.That notice came after a B.C. Supreme Court justice extended an injunction against the pipeline protesters barring them from blocking company workers. This dispute has all the markings of a confrontation that could get out of hand easily, and one that will put the NDP government on the spot. Already, the BC Liberals are demanding Premier John Horgan fire Forest Minister Doug Donaldson, whom the party claims has expressed support for the illegal blockades in the past. Horgan is not going to do that over this issue, but his possible cabinet shuffle may lead to a change in who holds that portfolio. A more pressing issue for the government is ensur-

ing the LNG Canada project gets over the finish line, while walking a political tightrope when it comes to dealing with First Nations. The government will inevitably have to align itself with the company’s position and thus will likely find itself in a dramatic showdown with the five hereditary chiefs and their supporters. The RCMP is already involved in the situation, and their presence has heightened tension at the protest camp in the past. The tensions have split theWet’suwet’en community, although most reports seem to indicate the protesters have the support of a minority of the members of the 12 hereditary house groups. As well, the five hereditary chiefs who oppose the pipeline have been accused of unfairly trying to influence three female hereditary chiefs who support the project. This ongoing, unresolved dispute has magnified some key questions that can arise when trying to secure First Nations support for energy projects, such as: are elected councils the proper bodies to negotiate with, or are hereditary chiefs the ones to deal with? And if the support is gained of most First Nations along a project’s corridor, is that enough if a minority of other First Nations oppose it? In this particular case, however, the NDP will have to follow the rule of law as defined by the courts. And doing that is going to be one heck of a political mess to get through. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

My house dropped $280K in value. I wish it had dropped even more Editor: I have just lost $280,000, according to the B.C. Assessment Authority. That is good, but not enough. We need more losses so that my grandchildren have at least a prospect of being able to afford to buy a house. David Huntley

Green leader Andrew Weaver will be missed Editor: Unlike some, I’m sorry to see Green Party of B.C. Leader Andrew Weaver depart, as I feel B.C. overall has greatly benefited from his political presence. When the 2017 B.C. election saw the centre-left electorate (about two-thirds of votes cast) split among the provincial Green Party and NDP, I initially saw it as a great misfortune, as it allowed the governing conservative BC Liberal Party to slither up the middle. Soon after, however, when the elected NDP and Green MLAs joined forces to form an NDP/Green one-seat-majority coalition, I suddenly found it a best-case-scenario election outcome: the merger not only refreshingly replaced 16 long years of increasingly compromised BC Liberal rule with traditionally progressive NDP policies, it also forced the NDP minority government to implement some

environmental protection measures I’m not sure it would’ve applied had it won the election on its own. Also, claims that the NDP had to cater to every Green demand were proven wrong when, for example, the controversial Site C Dam project went ahead over the Greens’ protestations. And of course the corruption known as the B.C. legislature spending scandal came to shameful light only after the NDP/Green coalition unseated the BC Liberals, the party that still resists deeper investigation while long claiming fiscal responsibility. Sadly, though, such infrequent coalitions are likely the closest we’ll get to a genuinely democratic proportional representative governance. Frank Sterle Jr.

World needs more funding for immunizations, not to fight wars Editor: Rather than calls for revenge and retaliation in response to the killing of Iranian military commander Soleimani, we should call for escalation of another sort entirely. Millions of children and adults are not vaccinated and, as a result, many millions more of us are at risk. In 2020, let’s resolve to fund immunizations everywhere. With infectious diseases, without vaccines, there’s no safety in numbers. Randy Rudolph

City UTILITIES

City had an ‘unusual’ year for power outages Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Wildlife, branches and equipment failures are among the causes of what appears to be a higher-thannormal number of power outages in New Westminster in 2019. Statistics provided to the Record by the city’s electrical utility indicate there were 35 outages between Jan. 4 and Nov. 22, 2019, including some on the same day. New Westminster, which operates its own electrical utility, is a city that’s long prided itself on having fewer power outages than other municipalities. “I continue to hear from our customers that they are so happy because they very rarely see an outage,” said Rod Carle, general manager of the electrical utility. While Carle senses there have been more power outages in 2019 than in past years, he doesn’t have the data at this time to confirm his suspicions. “The only way to trend it really is probably to look at a three- to five-year trend,” he said. “After the new year, when things slow down a bit, I could get some of our admin staff to go through and come up with a comparison to this year.” Still, Carle believes 2019 has been “somewhat more

unusual” than previous years. “When I look at the causes and the percentages, 63% is roughly from equipment failure, but they are all various types – connectors seem to be fairly high. The others are not too out of line,” he said. “Overall, the bigger picture is that we have experienced more problems in 2019.” Carle said the city has a robust process in place to test poles, trim trees and take other actions aimed at preventing power outages. “We have probably one of the most rigorous maintenance plans that I have seen,” he said. “A lot of our time is spent on maintenance.We have a whole list

of activities in our maintenance management plan that we go through. I try and track to see what percentage is actually completed – usually we are up in the 80% or 85% in an entire year’s plan.” Of the 35 power outages that occurred in New West from January to November, 22 were caused by equipment failure, nine by wildlife and four by storm. Equipment failures included a variety of issues, including damage by third party, cables and connectors, pole damage by a motor vehicle accident, transformers, blown fuses and wire theft. On the wildlife front, a variety of critters caused

the power to go out in New Westminster – including raccoons in the substation, birds and squirrels in cutouts, and squirrels damaging high-voltage cables. “It’s pretty easy to spot – if there’s a crow at the bottom of a high-voltage switch in the substation, that’s probably what caused it,” Carle said. Last year’s outages occurred in all parts of the city, from Queensborough to Sapperton. In the vast majority of cases (20), power was restored within two hours, but there were five occasions when outages lasted two to three hours and six occasions when power was out for three to five hours. The longest outages were: a five-hour-and-15-minute outage on June 19 caused by equipment failure resulting from wire theft; a ninehour-and-45-minute outage on Oct. 22 caused by a squirrel-damaged high-voltage cable, a nine-hour-and30-minute outage on Nov.

14 caused by an equipment failure due to a high-voltage cable splice.The longest outage was on May 29, when an equipment failure in a high-voltage underground cable knocked out power for 23 hours and 30 minutes. In some cases, residents were none too happy about being without power. During the May 29 power outage, many residents took to social media to voice concerns about the outage and the lack of information they were getting from the city about when power would be restored. “The fact that this is the first update in over two hours and that we can’t get through to anyone at the city is a good test for disaster preparedness,” Liz Iseli tweeted. “Time to make process changes to improve communication and response times.” Those sentiments were echoed in a tweet by Val Bishop, who suggested the City of New Westmin-

ster should have a recorded message on its after-hours outage line to let people know the city is aware of the outage and is working on it. She said residents were “in the dark” on two accounts – they had no lights and they didn’t know if the city was even aware of the power outage. Some were sympathetic to the city’s efforts to restore power. “Hey… I have lived in New West for 22 years. Power has gone out on me three times. Damn good job boys!” tweeted Jay Dubya. In response to complaints about poor communication during power outages, the city introduced new communications protocols in June to improve the way information about power outages is communicated via social media. In December, the city unveiled a new 24-7 number (604-239-6100) that people can now call to report power outages and to get regular updates on the status of outages.

City Public asked to comment on 2020 New West budget through online survey Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

An online survey is one way community members can offer input into New Westminster’s 2020 budget. The online survey, which is available until Jan. 17, is found on the City of New Westminster’s website at www.newwestcity.ca. The current focus of the 2020 budget is on the proposed 2020 to 2024 capital program, which responds to council’s declaration of a climate emergency by prioritizing climate emergency actions in the city’s work

plan. In November, council approved “seven bold steps” to address climate change, which relate to a carbon-free corporation, a car-light community, carbon-free homes and buildings, pollution-free vehicles, carbon-free energy, a robust urban forest and a peoplecentred public realm. During the budget consultation process, the city is seeking input on the seven bold steps. As part of its community engagement regarding the 2020 to 2024 financial plan, the city is holding a workshop about its capital program on Jan.

9 (tonight) at Anvil Centre. The workshop, which is being facilitated by city staff, is designed to allow for more focused discussion on specific items in the proposed 2020 capital program. More details about the City of New Westminster’s budget can be found at www.newwestcity.ca/ budget2020. COUNCIL SETS MEETING SCHEDULE FOR 2020 New Westminster city council is set to have 21 regular meetings in 2020. The 2020 schedule approved by council shows

it will have two meetings each month in 2020, except July, August and December, when it will have one regular meeting. In addition to the 21 regular evening meetings, council will also have nine public hearings in 2020. None are scheduled for July, August or December. In 2020, council will also have 12 open workshops, with nine of those occurring on the afternoon of regular council meetings.Three will be held on days when no other meetings are scheduled.

There is no cure. However, a new medical device is being tested that might help restore sight or improve vision for sufferers of the Dry version of AMD. That device is now undergoing a clinical patient trial in the Coquitlam area. Treatments with the device are non-invasive, and do not include any drugs. The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and evaluate the efficacy of externally applied microcurrent electrical stimulation in subjects with vision loss caused by Dry AMD, and to evaluate the ability of the medical device to improve the eyesight of trial participants. The trial’s protocol has been approved by Health Canada and is being monitored by a local ophthalmologist. Participation is limited, but we ask inquiries to be limited to those with vision between 20/50 and 20/200.

Arts & Entertainment Arts Club’s Shoplifters is coming to New West There’s nothing like a night at the theatre to shed some light on the winter darkness. The Shoplifters, a Canadian comedy by Morris Panych, is touring the Lower Mainland this winter, and it’s stopping in New Westminster on Tuesday, Jan. 14. It’s being brought to the stage by the Arts Club Theatre Company.

I’m really fascinated with what’s happening in the world right now

The play follows Alma (Patti Allan), a career shoplifter who prefers the “fivefinger discount” over any senior citizens’ deal.When a grocery store theft with her anxious sidekick (Agnes Tong) goes awry, her elaborate life of petty crime is halted by an overzealous security guard (RaugiYu) and

his affable mentor (Dean Paul Gibson). “The Shoplifters is about small people with small lives – people who want something and will do anything to get it,” said Panych, the playwright who also directs the production, in a press release. “I’m really fascinated with what’s happening in the world right now, with people being left behind, and I wanted to write about that.” For Arts Club’s artistic director, Ashlie Corcoran, the chance to present something by Panych was an opportunity she couldn’t pass up. “One of my seminal Arts Club experiences growing up was seeing Morris Panych’s shows,” she said in the release. “The Shoplifters is a funny and idiosyncratic script, with fantastic characters and rhythm. I am thrilled that Morris and his partner, Ken MacDonald – an incredible designer – are taking the play on tour.They have been hugely important in our company’s history, and I am excited to share this show with a wider

Jan. 14 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available through www.ticketsnw.ca,

and more information can be found at www.artsclub. com.

Urban life explored in photo exhibition A Lived in City is on at the Plaskett Gallery for the month of January A photographer’s views of urban life are on the walls of Plaskett Gallery for January. A Lived in City, featuring the work of Tyler Wilson, runs until Jan. 31 at the gallery at Massey Theatre. The exhibition features recent photography, a mix of framed black-and-white darkroom prints and colour giclee.

“Through this collection I hope to show the beauty of degradation and change that happens in our built environment, and to capture a moment of silence in a normally noisy city,” said Wilson in a statement. “The main subject of my photography is most often the built environment; I love finding the beauty in the city as

things degrade, tarnish, get repaired or get repurposed. I hope to share the beauty I find in the well-used human habitat.” Wilson also hopes to share a love for everything analog – all of the photos were taken using a variety of old analog equipment, without any digital post-processing.

Massey Theatre and the Plaskett Gallery are at 735 Eighth Ave.The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, 1 to 5 p.m., and during performances at the theatre. Admission is always free. See www.masseytheatre. com or call 604-517-5900 for information.

Help the University of Guelph improve hearing g healthcare across Canada. Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing. Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate? It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

Participants will be significantly adding to growing knowledge surrounding hearing loss.

Community NEW WEST SPOTLIGHT TREE CHIPPING

Fireﬁghters brave wind and rain for charity fundraiser New Westminster firefighters were blown away by their 2020 tree-chipping event. Every year, the New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Association holds a tree-chipping event on the first weekend of January, giving community members the chance to recycle their Christmas trees, to meet with local firefighters and enjoy a barbecue, popcorn and musical entertainment and to support local charities. “It was probably one of the most entertaining, challenging tree chippings I have ever been involved with,” said firefighter Glen Bailey, president of the charitable society. “It was

something else.” Mother Nature cooperated and provided decent weather for Saturday’s treechipping event, but Sunday was a different story.The Jan. 4 and 5 event was held at the Canada Games Pool parking lot. “We had the torrential rainfall, so we were all soaked, drenched.We might as well have held the event in the swimming pool.Then it got sort of warm and dry and sunny.Then there was the windstorm,” Bailey said. “We had pretty much every person, including parents and people who dropped off trees, holding down our tents. People were showing up and there were no firefighters to grab trees

because we were all holding the tents down.” New Westminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian took part in a tree-burning/fire extinguishing exercise at Saturday’s event, but no demonstration was held on Sunday because of the weather. Firefighters collected a bin full of trees at this year’s event, which raises funds that the charitable society disperses to various charities in the community. “We are still counting the donations.The donations seemed to be very generous,” Bailey said. “The people who hung around, it sounded like they had fun.” Along with raising money for charity and celebrating the end of the holiday season, New Westminster firefighters enjoy hosting the event as it gives them a chance to connect with community members. People are always welcome to attend the tree-chipping event, whether or not they have a tree. “We are firefighters.We are members of the community,” Bailey said. “We really do like talking to people and hearing what they have to say.” –Theresa McManus

Douglas serves up hot start to 2020 Hyack girls The Royals men’s volleyball team exacted some revenge by sweeping Cascades GIRLS BASKETBALL

If there was any sluggish, holiday heaviness in the Douglas College Royals’ routine entering last week’s match against the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades, it had evaporated by the end of the game. Motivation and rest combined to put the PacWest men’s volleyball league-leading Royals in the driver’s seat for a pair of twin 3-0 wins over the Cascades in a home-and-home series to begin the second half of the season. Although Douglas had to fend off some fierce rallies and eke out a marathon 36-34 decision in the second set on the second day, the victories were just the kind of tone the squad wanted to set for the new year. That the last time the teams met, in the final game of 2019 six weeks ago in the New West gym, Fraser Valley handed the Royals just their second loss of the season, ending a nine-match win streak. That fueled their fire for Friday’s 3-0 decision in Abbotsford, where the visitors posted wins of 25-20, 25-22 and 25-15 to restart the season.The biggest test came in the second set, when the Cascades were ahead 10-6 and 18-17 before Douglas got on a roll, thanks to clutch kills by Max Haronga and a Greg Moore service ace. Haronga picked up 12 kills and three digs, while Matt Shand tallied 10 kills and five digs. Brother Ben Shand chipped in six kills, while New West native John Colobong notched seven digs on the day. On the second day, this time in New West, the Royals won the first set 25-19, then outlasted Fraser Valley in a 36-34 marathon.They closed out the sweep with a 25-17 triumph. Leading the way Saturday was Haronga, with 15 kills and 10 digs, Reid Marriott, with 12 kills, and Colbong’s game- and career-high 22 digs. The weekend pumped up the No. 2-ranked team in the nation to 11-2 in PacWest action.

New Year ramps up need for consistency

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

It isn’t hard to look at a 93-70 setback and see the bad – what New West Hyacks head coach Ted Cusick is looking for is a silver lining. In a tough match-up against a strong Pitt Meadows Marauders squad on Saturday, the senior boys Hyacks showed flashes of both silver and sand in an exhibition loss. “It wasn’t a game you want to dwell on – we were just too loosy-goosy,” remarked Cusick. When you grant your opponent a 23-3

head start, it’s easy to see white flags everywhere. But credit to New West for not giving up, and actually battling back to take a 66-64 lead early in the fourth quarter. But that run ended, and Pitt finished by tallying 25 of the last 30 points to grab a ‘comfortable’ 23-point victory. “Our heads weren’t in it, but these kids didn’t give up.They chipped away to get ahead. But (Pitt) shot the lights out,” added Cusick. “It’s easy to shoot the lights out when no one is checking you.” Putting up 20 points in the loss was Kirk Bothwell, along with five assists. Caleb Johnson delivered 13 points, while Kevin

Guillermo netted 10 points. Coming on the heels of the pre-break 7370 victory over 3-A ranked A.R. MacNeill, which locked up a Bob Gair Classic tourney title, the cold performance was more evidence that consistency remains elusive for this Hyacks crew. “We’re hot and cold, not just one game to the next, but one minute to the next,” noted the coach. “With this Jeckyl and Hyde team, every game is a good test.” New West plays this weekend in the Sir Winston Churchill tourney, starting today (Thursday) against Eric Hamber. On Monday, they visit Moscrop for a league game.

Pinning up a new calendar, the New West Hyacks senior girls basketball team hopes the good results and bounces they experienced in the final weeks of 2019 carry over. Already 2-1 in Burnaby-New West league play, the Hyacks would like nothing more than to serve up some surprises as an organization that returned to the hardwood after a one-year absence. In the final tournament of 2019, the team worked on those bonds and polished their on-floor chemistry en route to finishing second at the senior girls edition of the Bob Gair Classic. Although they fell 77-41 to W.J. Mouat – who were ranked No. 9 in B.C.’s 4-A circuit as late as mid-December – New West came away feeling good about itself and the progress it has made. “(We) played well in first half of final, got into foul and (had) scoring trouble in the second half,” head coach Roger Hamerton told the Record in an email. “When Mouat went on a run against us we didn’t have an answer.We struggled to score and break the pressure.” New West opened up with an 8-0 lead, but Mouat pushed back, taking an 11-8 advantage into the second quarter. Trailing by 10 points at halftime, the hosts ran into foul trouble over the final quarter as the full-pressing Hawks pulled away. Also going against them was the fact the team committed 30 turnovers on the day. Leading New West shooter Anja Tjernagel cashed in 16 points and five rebounds, while Adit Biar added eight points and nine boards. “The game was a good test for us,” added Hamerton. “We need games against tough opponents to make us compete at a high level for 40 minutes.” The Hyacks beat both Centennial and Maple Ridge to draw into the tourney final. Just the whole process of hosting the sixteam tourney, which highlighted the last Gair Classic in the Massey Gym, with the school slated to move into the new facility next fall, was a great experience, Hamerton said. Taking on a bigger role after missing a month due to injury was Grade 11 Costanza Sandrini, while Tjernagel was a steady force on both sides of the ball. She would be named to the all-star team. Kanon Imachi, a senior who is one of the few holdovers from the 2017-18 roster that advanced to the provincials, was a positive source of turnovers and steals during the three-game set. “Part of our goals are to expand the floor on offense and shrink the floor on defense, successful,” said Hamerton. “For the most part, we aren’t running plays, we are looking to attack the gaps on offense. ... We are now starting to have success, (but) must carry it over to teams like Mouat.” New West has secured league wins over Burnaby Mountain and Cariboo Hill, with the lone setback a tight battle against Burnaby North.They visit Moscrop on Monday.

REID, Helen Beatrice August 19, 1920 - December 24, 2019 We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother on December 24, 2019. Helen Beatrice Reid (Richards) was born in Sheffield, England on August 19, 1920. Amongst the happiest times of her life were early morning rides on her pony. “Dolly” over the English moors. She joined the army in England, met a handsome soldier, married and came to Canada. They settled in Vancouver and later Burnaby. Many happy summers were spent fishing in Pender Harbour. She was petite in stature but had a lion’s spirit. The thief at Metrotown who stole her purse found this out the hard way. “Don’t mess with Helen” was the headline in the Province Newspaper! Helen was a Girl Guide Leader and a founding member of the Burnaby Rhododendron Society, now BRAGS. For many years she displayed her collection of antique garden tools at the festival. Helen was a poet, SFU Biology student (Bamfield Eel Grass), cook on the Phyllis Cormack, a Green Peace boat that sailed from Vancouver to San Francisco. Helen was a gardener extraordinaire. She literally turned the sod and created a garden that she tended until the end of her life. Predeceased by her husband Herbert Wesley Reid (March 1982), and young daughter Margaret Elaine (December 1950). She is survived by her children, Mark Reid, Susan Reid (Doug Bell), Wendy Bissky (Tim), grandson Miles Bissky (Megan), great grandchildren Espen and Kendrick, nephew and niece in Canada Peter Allenbach (Patsy), Rosemary Allenbach (Les), great nephew and niece Alex and Emma Biron, nephews and niece in England Jon, Antony and Thea Richards. Many thanks to the staff and Gerry at Courtyard Terrace for their support. Gardening and the Sunflower raising contest are now a part of life at the Park Place Assisted Living Residence. Special thanks to Imelda, Roy and Michelle who made Courtyard Terrace a true home. Thanks also to a friend, Marshall, for the gift of roses which brought her much joy. Thank you to Dr. Cameron who was there for her for many years. She will be missed. A Celebration of Life will be held in May. Details TBA and will be posted on the Martin Brothers website.
