Realtors’ biz booming – with offspringFamily ties:RE/MAXRealtyAdvantageco-owner andreal estateagent AlisonHazelwood,right, broughtson JayHazelwoodonto her team acouple of yearsago. She is oneof a handfulof establishedNew West realestate agentswhose childis following aparent into thebusiness.

City pushes for four-lane Pattullo with tollsNo more than four – that’s the city’s

stance on the number of lanes it will sup-port on a new Pattullo Bridge.

The City of New Westminster is callingfor a new or rehabilitated four-lane tolledPattullo Bridge, as well as proper connec-tions from South Fraser Perimeter Road to

Highway 1 and the Port Mann Bridge, butneighbouring Surrey has been pressing fora new six-lane crossing.

“We know that four lanes will work, butit has to have tolls on it so we can go backto livability,” Mayor Wayne Wright said ata press conference in council chambers onWednesday.

According to the city, replacement ofPattullo Bridge was proposed to address

the structural integrity of the aging cross-ing – not to increase road capacity. Cityofficials point out that traffic volumes onthe Pattullo Bridge have been decreasing inrecent years, but that changed when tollswere introduced on the new Port MannBridge and the Pattullo provided a freealternative.

“These tolls have led to a significantincrease of traffic, including truck traffic,

over the bridge, on major arterial streetsand on our local streets, as drivers seek tofind faster ways to avoid congestion – con-gestion because we have no streets on ourside big enough to take the volumes com-ing over the bridge,” Wright said. “In fact,traffic on the bridge has increased by 8,000trips per day, accompanied by a 75 per cent

There seems to be something of ababy boom in New West’s real estatebusiness.

A seemingly unusual number of chil-dren are following their parents into theoften-fickle world of real estate.

Thirty-year-old Jay Hazelwood is oneof them. He made the move after workingas a mortgage broker, saying he prefers thehustle and bustle of selling real estate.

His mom is RE/MAX RealtyAdvantage co-owner and real estateagent Alison Hazelwood. She says it’s notunusual for the children of agents to fol-low their parents into the business, but inNew West the recent influx is likely relatedto the age of the established realtors.

Having Jay onboard has been idealfor Alison, especially as she expands herbusiness with the recent purchase, alongwith her partners, of two offices in the Tri-Cities.

“It’s nice for our clients to be able toknow if one of us goes away, the other oneis fully up to speed and can handle anyproblems that should arise,” she says.

The children of agents will succeedbecause they know how hard you have towork in the business, Alison says.

“It is really cyclical, and that’s one ofthe most difficult aspects to get used to,”she says. “It’s not the business for some-body that is looking for something safeand reliable.”

As for the real estate game, Alison saysin the last year or so it was in a “soft spot,”

but it’s picked up in recent months.One of the key differences between

those who are successful and those whoaren’t is being able to keep their headsdown and work during the lean times.

In fact, Alison and Jay say that’s whenit’s time to work even harder.

“A lot of people have a hard time

because they don’t keep the motor run-ning,” Alison says.

Evidently, it steadies the steering whenfamily is helping manage that motor.

Twenty-year-old Kellie Vallee joinedher dad, Dave Vallee, 58, a couple ofyears ago.

Despite watching him hustle to managean extremely busy business, Kellie says shewas always interested in real estate.

“It’s not 9 to 5, and it’s never, ever bor-ing … ever,” she says, laughing.

For Dave, bringing Kellie in meant hecould ponder retirement.

growth in truck traffic on Royal Avenue.”The city released the 33-page report, A

Reasonable Approach: A Perspective on thePattullo Bridge, on Wednesday.

“The Pattullo, as the free alternative, is sig-nificantly and negatively affecting the livabil-ity of New Westminster,” Wright said. “Tollson a new four-lane bridge are needed, notonly to finance the new bridge,but also as a critical measure tolower demand for car travel overthe bridge and to promote theuse of alterative transportationmodes.”

Wright said a new four-lanebridge must also respect NewWestminster’s established urbanand historic context.

“Freeway style on- and off-ramps are not an option in NewWestminster ’s highly urban-ized context. It’s impossible,” hestressed. “We have no room with-out destroying our neighbour-hoods and without destroying ourparks. And our road network hasno room to expand.”

Along with a four-lane tolledreplacementforthePattulloBridge,the City of New Westminster sup-ports a direct link between South FraserPerimeter Road and the new 10-lane PortMann Bridge. Without a direct connection,the city says regional truck traffic will con-tinue to be a significant challenge for NewWestminster and impact the community’slivability.

Jim Lowrie, the city’s director of engineer-ing, said a new tolled four-lane bridge would

cost $850 million and a rehabilitated four-lanebridge would cost $250 million. He said thatcompares to a $1.5 billion estimated cost of anew six-lane bridge.

“The new, four-lane tolled bridge wouldbe directly upstream of the existing bridge,essentially the same alignment,” he said ofthe proposal.

New Westminster is also willing to con-sider an option calling for a reha-bilitation of the existing PattulloBridge into three lanes, combinedwith a new four-lane crossing fromSurrey to Coquitlam.

“It is still on the table. It is stillunder review,” Lowrie said. “Therehabilitation option, TransLinkwould like to take off the table.”

According to Lowrie, openingday volumes on a new four-lanebridge would be 49,000 vehicles,compared to 52,000 vehicles ona costlier six-lane bridge. Thecity believes the money savedby building a four-lane crossingcould be better used on other traf-fic and transportation initiatives,such as a light rail transit systemin Surrey.

Surrey Coun. Tom Gill, chair ofthe city’s transportation and infra-

structure committee, told the Surrey NOWthat Surrey stands by its position that thebridge should be replaced, and it shouldhave six lanes. He said rehabilitating of thePattullo Bridge isn’t viable and is a “poorchoice” in utilizing taxpayer’s money.

“We’ve taken the position that we thinkthe six-lane is appropriate,” he told the NOW.“I would go as far as to say that we should be

concentrating on a six-lane bridge.”With the provincial government recent-

ly offering to contribute one-third of thecost of replacing the Pattullo Bridge, Gillsaid it’s important for the cities to worktogether to reach a decision. Both cities,along with Coquitlam, have been workingwith TransLink on a strategic review of thePattullo Bridge.

Wright said New Westminster’s streets arealready highly congested for much of the day,so there’s no place for additional traffic to goonce it crosses the bridge into the Royal City.

“It’s not that we don’t want it – we haveno more room,” he said. “There’s no room onthe streets.”

B.C. Transportation Minster Todd Stonerecently outlined changes to TransLink’sgovernance structure and asked TransLink’smayors’ council on regional transportation toreport back on its key priorities.

As a result of that request, TransLinkrecently postponed a consultation processthat was set to begin about the PattulloBridge, in order to give the mayors’ counciltime to determine how the Pattullo Bridgeproject fits into the regional vision.

“The Pattullo was on the list of to-dos,”said Wright, a member of the mayors’ coun-cil. “A month ago it was number 10. Now itis number 1.”

Coun. Bill Harper noted that the city’sreport analyzes how the six options still beingcontemplated meet nine regional objectivesincluding travel, environment, livability, eco-nomic development and cost.

“We meet seven of them on a four-lanebridge,” he said. “Surrey meets two of themwith a six-lane bridge.”

Overweight vehiclesmay have contributed to thedemise of the Bailey bridge,says Mayor Wayne Wright.

Wright said the city hasreceived reports that “hugetrucks” were seen crossingthe bridge from Coquitlaminto New Westminster. TheCity of New Westminsterannounced March 4 that theBailey bridge in the Braidindustrial areas is closed tovehicles after cracks werefound on the underside ofthe bridge.

“We are looking to seehow do we replace it andwhat do we do,” he toldThe Record Wednesday.“My understanding fromthe engineers’ report is thatthey can’t see some of therepairs needed so it can’t berepaired.”

While the existing bridgeis out of commission, thecity had contacted theprovince to see if anoth-er temporary structure isavailable until a decision ismade about a more perma-nent solution for the con-troversial crossing. Built inthe 1990s, the bridge wasintended to have a lifespan

of 15 to 20 years.“At the same time we

are in discussions withCoquitlam – should it be asingle or a two-lane bridge?”Wright said. “That’s takingplace at the same time.”

In February 2013, the Cityof New Westminster closedthe Bailey bridge after anengineering assessmentrevealed the bridge had acrack in one of the structuresupports, something thecity attributed to excessivewear and tear. The citiesof New Westminster andCoquitlam shared the coststo have the repairs done sothe bridge could reopen.

When the bridgereopened a few days later,new load restrictions wereput in effect that limitedvehicle traffic to 15 tonnesmaximum – meaning heavycommercial trucks are nolonger permitted to crossthe bridge.

Coquitlam has beenpushing for the replace-ment of the one-lane bridgewith a multi-lane bridge,but New Westminster fearsa two-lane bridge wouldworsen the longstandingtraffic issues that exist in theindustrial area and Braid/Brunette corridor.

New Westminster’s report on thecity’s perspective and proposed solutionto what to do with the aging PattulloBridge is titled A Reasonable Approach– A Perspective on the Pattullo Bridge.And we believe it is exactly that: a rea-sonable approach to a difficultproblem.

New Westminster doesn’tcall for the bridge’s entireremoval, it doesn’t call forit to be turned into a big planter withcommunity farms, it simply suggests amiddle-of-the-road solution. Make it afour-lane bridge with tolls. Surrey, on

the other hand, wants a new six-lanebridge. Of course, from Surrey’s perspec-tive, that makes abundant sense. Getthose cars and trucks out of Surrey anddamn the consequences on the other sideof the river. And, if New Westminster

had taken the same “I’m allright Jack” approach, it wouldhave suggested building anew four-lane bridge with anentirely new access point – say

into Coquitlam. But it didn’t. And that’sa good thing. As Mayor Wayne Wrightsays: “We have no room without destroy-ing our neighbourhoods and without

destroying our parks. And our road net-work has no room to expand.” New Westis not Langley or Abbotsford, it’s notSurrey, or Mission. It’s a small, aging citytrying to maintain some quality of life.And, dare we dream, even improve uponour neighbourhoods and business areas.

But here’s where the rubber meets theroad. Transit officials may agree that NewWestminster’s plan makes sense, but theugly, hungry snout of politics is alwaysready to root around in the issue. NewWestminster has an NDP MLA, a councilthat’s viewed as one leaning to the left,and it holds little political clout. Surrey,

on the other hand, is a rich politicalfield that always offers some hope for aLiberal bounty.

Now, we hope, that common sense andnot politics prevails in the Pattullo deci-sion. But given the Golden Ears bridge,the latest plan for a bridge to Richmond,and other projects that look a tad likepolitical payoffs or carrots, we’re notholding our breath on this one.

If common sense doesn’t prevail, wesuspect the usually civil citizens of NewWestminster will demonstrate exactlywhat unreasonable behaviour could looklike.

Ageism at heart ofB.C. driving rules

Ageism shows up in manyaspects of seniors’ lives,including condescension,

arbitrary rules of retirement anda general attitude of treating sen-iors as less than equal.

Unfortunately, ageism alsomanifests itself in B.C. drivingrules for seniors. When B.C.drivers reach age 80, they aremandated to have amedical examinationto determine theirfitness to drive.According to the let-ter I received as Iapproached my 80th birthday,the full cost of the examinationis borne by the individual. Butaccording to the Motor VehicleDepartment website, the MedicalServices Plan will cover $75 ofthe cost. This is only one of themany confusing aspects of B.C.’sprocess.

For many seniors, a driver’slicence is their only hope ofmaintaining an active life-style. Public transit, includingHandyDART, does not givemany the ability to get to med-ical appointments or recreationaland cultural activities – in short,to maintain their independence.Many seniors are not well offfinancially, and the cost of themedical exam (some people toldme they paid as much as $200for the exam) is itself a hardship.

Failing the exam results inmore time and expense. Theymust take a cognitive exam onthe computer, even if they arecomputer illiterate or simplyintimidated by the computer.

Apprehension and confusion donot help to get favourable testresults, and there is little evi-dence to support claims of thetest’s effectiveness. If they passthe cognitive test, they must takea new driving test.

These rules are based onan outmoded view of seniors.CARP (A New Vision of Aging

for Canada) viewsmany of these peopleas zoomers – boomerswith zip.

They are not con-tent to lounge in their

rocking chairs until infirmityputs them in wheelchairs orsends them to an early grave.Zoomers travel extensively, par-ticipate in sports and other rec-reational programs, and contrib-ute to their local communities inmany ways. They are the largestgroup of volunteers, contributingmillions of hours of unpaid workto sports organizations, charities,community and health organiza-tions.

Some seniors shouldn’t bedriving; some younger peopleshouldn’t be driving, either. Butthere must be a more humaneway to determine those still fitto drive.

As of April 21st, Ontario’snew rules will weed out unfitdrivers while treating seniorswith respect and dignity. Thenew process will include:

1. A vision test.2. A driver’s record review.3. A short group education

session.

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Make school programs more fairDear Editor:

The New Westminster school district is cur-rently consulting the community regarding the cre-ation of catchments for their French immersion andMontessori programs of choice. I am disappointedthat they aren’t also looking at changing the enrol-ment process for these programs.

Currently, families are able to register their new-borns for these programs as soon as a birth cer-tificate is available. These programs thus rely on afirst-come, first-served basis, meaning that childrenresiding in New Westminster since birth are theones with the best chance of getting in. There isalso a priority for siblings, which is sensible, but theremaining spots available are skewed towards chil-dren born early in a given year or from families withhousing and job security who already know aboutthe current enrolment process through word of

mouth. This process greatly privileges a certain sub-set of people, and with constant over-demand forthese programs, it is the burden of the school districtadministrators to ensure that the available spots aredistributed in a fair and impartial manner.

I understand that the present process was put inplace to avoid having folks camping out for registra-tion day. However, nowadays other school districtsin the Lower Mainland have moved to an onlineregistration process that happens in conjunctionwith kindergarten registration in the spring, priorto the school year of enrolment. This system wouldcompletely bypass any physical difficulties withregistration and would also allow for all childrenirrespective of their birth date or length of residencyin the school district to have an equal chance of get-ting into these programs.

to contact all those on the current priorityenrolment list to inform them of the catch-ment changes, it would make sense to alsoimplement a much-needed change to ourenrolment process that puts us in line withwhat our neighbours are doing and is fairfor all who live here.

For a city that otherwise welcomesnewcomers and embraces 21st-centurydiversity, the school district’s registrationpolicies indicate a clear need for a morepurposeful and inclusive plan of action.

Democracy? Not in CanadaDear Editor:

We do not have a democracy in thiscountry: we have a plutocracy (govern-ment by the wealthy).

The rich and their corporations withthe Canadian Council of Chief Executives,have the best government money can buy.

What has been forgotten, or I shouldsay deliberately ignored and avoided, isour signed commitment to the UniversalDeclaration of Human Rights.

We may proudly say as Canadians, itwas written for the UN (United Nations)by a Canadian named John Humphreyand signed by Canada in 1976.

Article 22 (3) states: Everyone whoworks has the right to just and favourableremuneration ensuring for himself and his

family an existence worthy of human dig-nity, and supplemented, if necessary, byother means of social protection.

I raise this because we need to take alook at the document which our countrywas not only instrumental in creating butby signing it, was committed to worktowards its implementation.

I should add there is so much in thisdeclaration that everyone should take thetime to read it, as it is an inspirational trib-ute to our humanity.

We have no right to talk about being acivilized society and a democracy when itfunctions on the backs of working peopleand depends on the suffering of many forthe sake of a few.

Those of us who care need to call for anEconomic Bill of Rights, to say enough isenough.

We need to shake up the politiciansat all levels of government and demandequal rights and a life of dignity for allpeople.

If we don’t, with the neoconservativedespots we have in government, condi-tions in our country and community willonly get worse.

Have we not had enough of povertyand inequality?

Our governments have to do more thandeclare Family Day our new statutoryholiday celebrated on Feb. 10.

It’s time to eradicate poverty if in factwe believe in the family. B.C. has the high-est poverty rate in Canada and, as report-ed recently, this Liberal government is oneof only two provinces in Canada with noplan to reduce poverty.

In this rich province and country, it is,to say the least, an outrage.

THE RECORD STORY: Savvy biz leader buys New West tower– March 36Facebook I Dave Lundy: This should be an election issue … how flippant staff mayorand council appear to be in how are tax money is treated. The city should NEVEREVER risk public monies in Commercial Real Estate speculation. As, well what aboutthe $40 million budgeted in anticipation of this sale in this year’s budget? That’s ashortfall of 3.5 million right there! So what gets cut or cancelled to make up for thatshortfall? This isn’t something to be celebrated... this is nothing short of trying tolimit the damage done by utterly irresponsible decision-making on staff, mayor andcouncil’s behalf.

THE RECORD STORY: Former NWSS principal passes away – Feb. 25Comment via RoyalCityRecord.com I Barbara Leonard: I was an adult student in Mr.Popowich’s Grade 12 Biology Class in 1972. I was very impressed at his dedicationand high ethical standards he set for his students. I recall he once said he wouldnever scale marks in grading as if his top students were not getting over 90% thenhe needed to go over the chapter with the class again as he, the teacher, had nottaught something in an understandable way. “Good enough” was not good enoughin his teaching method. I was fortunate to have him as a teacher and I, like many ofhis other students, will miss him but will never forget him.

“I’m glad Kellie did it because at somepoint I want to be put out to pasture … Iwant wind things down and pursue lifeafter work, with Kellie here there will bea fairly smooth transition,” he says.

Kellie was one of the reasons Dave gotinto real estate.

The year before she born, he decidedit would be a better route for the family– his wife could stay home with the kids,and he could work closer to home.

He took a leave from his job as a rec-reation and child-care worker for teenageboys with learning disabilities and doveinto sales, but it was a tough start.

“The first year I made minus $25,000,because I had to take $25,000 out of myRRSP to live and pay all of the bills,”Dave says.

But he stayed on and has run the topteam in the local RE/MAX AdvantageRealty since 2003.

What he liked about real estate – andsays he still does – was meeting peopleand seeing properties.

What’s surprised Dave about hisdaughter since she entered the business ishow much of a “go-getter” she is.

“I thought she might be a little more ofa slacker. She’s keen, she’s really on top ofeverything. She’s getting more and moreefficient,” he says.

At a time when most young peoplecan barely manage exorbitant rents,Kellie, with the help of her dad’s goodplanning, recently purchased a GlenbrookNorth townhouse.

Her dad started tucking away thechild-tax credit for both his daughterswhen they were young. When they wereold enough, the girls started working for

their dad – helping to stuff envelopes andother small tasks. Kellie was able to usethe savings for her down payment.

In this day of steep property prices,it’s common for parents to help their kidspurchase their first place, Dave says.

“Sometimes the parents help themwith the down payment,” he says.

“A lot of times,” Kellie adds.The other option for young people,

Dave says, is to use their RRSP. A personcan withdraw up to $25,000 for a downpayment (though it must be replaced overthe course of 15 years to maintain tax-feestatus).

For some young people, the bestoption is to stay at home with their par-ents long enough to save up their downpayment, Dave says.

A nurse he knows who works withhis other daughter Carmen at RoyalColumbian Hospital is an example. Shesaved around $40,000 for a down pay-ment on a $300,000 property by living athome with her parents throughout her20s.

The one thing almost all of the localreal estate agent “parents” saidwhen they spoke with The Record is

that it’s best to get on the real estate lad-der and to start small with a condo, pref-erably one that can be spruced up.

That’s what local Realtor TraceyDavies’ son Sean Davies plans to do.

“My five-year plan is to try to buy acondo and probably fix it up and try tomake some money on it, and either rent itout or just sell it and move up into a nicercondo,” says the 20-year-old, who worksas his mom’s assistant.

Tracey says younger buyers wouldbenefit from laneway homes beingapproved.

“It might help provide other affordableoptions,” she says.

Sean joined his mom two years ago,just after he graduated from high school.

“It is a lot of work … I think peopledon’t understand how much goes intolisting a house,” he says, summing up thebusiness that’s been the bread and but-ter for three generations of Davis’ – hisgrandparents are also realtors.

◆

Wes Goss is another real-estatebaby with the business in hisDNA.

Both his parents, Patti and Ed Goss(who divorced when Wes was just a fewmonths old), have been in the businessfor decades. But the plan wasn’t for Westo jump into it.

The 34-year-old worked as a highschool teacher in the Vancouver schooldistrict for five years before he switched

careers. Wes left the stability, benefits andguaranteed lengthy summer breaks forthe volatile world of real estate.

But, he insists, he has no regrets.“It just wasn’t for me – teaching is a

job that you have to be passionate about,”he says. “It just wasn’t there for me.”

Today, Wes works with his mom, aRE/MAX Realty Advantage agent. (Wes’shalf-brother Adam Goss is also an agent.)

The partnership has been a dream forPatti.

“Over the years, I’ve had a number ofbuyers’ agents, and it’s just not the same,and since Wes came, I can trust him 100per cent. And he’s got a really good workethic, and I don’t have to worry about it,”Patti says.

Like Dave, Patti says she’s also think-ing about the succession of her businesswhen she retires, but Wes notes she prob-ably never will.

“It’s hard for her to take a day off,” hesays.

“Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTIL NOW!”PAID ADVERTISEMENT

If you suffer from poor circulation,injury, swelling or any condition thatleaves your feet fatigued and sore, thenread on to discover the breakthroughthat can change your life.

Good news comes in the form of a‘pain-busting microfiber’ that is used toweave a circulation-boosting sock,called BambusaTM.

Better Blood FlowThe ‘miracle sock’ is made from a

new, patented anion-technology that isweaved into every strand of thread usedto make a BambusaTM sock. This specialmicro-fiber thread is made from revolu-tionary bamboo charcoal to stimulateblood flow and revitalize feet. Whenthis material comes in contact withbody-heat it is proven to release circu-lation-boosting ions.

The 3D-weave technology used inthe material has been compared toinfrared light therapy to help revitalizestiff and sore muscles. The manufac-turer, who also makes a back and wristsleeve, says the material provides almostinstant relief to any part of the body ittouches, making it ideal for diabetics,athletes, inflammation, stiffness andswelling.

Anne M. from California agrees.“Bambusa socks are absolutely the mostcomfortable socks I have ever worn! Myfeet are no longer fatigued!”

Doctor RecommendedPain specialist of 30

years, Dr. Ronald Jahnercomments on the 3D-weave technology, “In-frared therapy has beenused for years at medical

clinics to treat vascular and circulatoryconditions. Physical therapists use in-frared therapy to speed recovery. Betterblood flow equals less pain. This mi-crofiber works much the same way.”

Therapy Without A Prescription!When the socks were photographed

using a thermographic imaging camera,results showed up to a 17% to 22%increase in blood flow. This helped toimprove muscle oxygenation anddecrease foot fatigue. The socks havebeen proven to provide extended relieffrom cold, swollen and fatigued feet.

Relief for Tired, Swollen FeetBambusaTM socks are not a medical

device or compression socks becausethey don’t restrict blood flow. Utilizingthe special negative-anion technology,they comfortably increase blood flowand oxygen to tissues.

They are ideal for diabetics and thosesuffering from neuropathy or injuryfrom repetitive use. BambusaTM sockscan also bring comfort to tired legswithin minutes of putting them on,energizing individuals who spend longhours on their feet.

BENEFITS:• Increased blood flow andoxygen

• Reduced swelling and pain• Anti-microbial• Wicks away moisture• Increased range of motion

IDEAL FOR:• Neuropathy• Raynaud's Syndrome• Cramping• Cold Feet

Goodbye to Pain and NumbnessMarilyn H. has suffered persistent foot

problems and noticed fast results. “Theissue for me was persistent numbness inmy toes - it was gone completely after afew days of wearing these socks!”

“I went out on the golf course for 18holes of golf, and when I got home myfeet weren’t swollen, they weren’tsweating and my feet didn’t hurt,” saysLou B. from New York.

Tom from NJ reports, “I suffer fromchronic foot cramps. My feet were sorefor days after the cramping. My wifegave me the BambusaTM socks, I worethem, and the foot cramps stopped. Ireplaced all my socks with BambusaTM.My feet feel great now.”

◗ON THE TOWNPoetic Justice brings words to life ◗P12Top 5 Things To Do this weekend ◗P19

It seems, perhaps, an unlikely subjectfor a musical: the story of a cave explorerin 1925 Kentucky who becomes trappedwhile navigating an underground networkhe hopes to develop into a tourist attrac-tion.

His family and fellow cavers begin arescue attempt, while a mob of reportersgathers at the scene in one of America’sfirst nation-wide media frenzies.

ThatmusicalisAdamGuettel’sacclaimedFloyd Collins – which is being brought to theVancouver stage by New Westminster’sown Patrick Street Productions.

It’s onstage at the York Theatre March11 to 30.

The musical premiered off-Broadway in1996, but Patrick Street’s staging is the firsttime it will be seen in Vancouver.

“We have wanted to stage Floyd Collinsin Vancouver for many years; we hearthe future of musical theatre in AdamGuettel’s nuanced and evocative score,”said Katey Wright, co-artistic producer ofPatrick Street, in a press release.

This year the show has special mean-ing for the company, since it opened itsseason in February with a Rodgers andHammerstein revue, Out of a Dream. Guettelis the grandson of Richard Rodgers.

“We just love the balance betweenthe two shows and the lineage betweenRichard Rodgers and Adam Guettel,” saidPeter Jorgensen, Wright’s husband andco-artistic producer, in an interview withThe Record.

Wright and Jorgensen have been drawnto Guettel’s work before – in 2011, theystaged his Light in the Piazza.

Jorgensen said that work is notablefor the way the music itself tells the story– something that Patrick Street strives tofind in its productions.

Floyd Collins, he said, is similar.“It’s got all the sophistication of The

Light in the Piazza, but textually and musi-cally it’s quite different,” Jorgensen said.

Wright noted that Guettel is known for

his ability to create an entirely new musicalvocabulary for each of his shows, based onits own particular time and place.

“He creates a musical universe for thestory,” she noted, adding his ability to doso is “phenomenal.” “You won’t find agluey pop ballad in the middle of a 19th-century costume drama.”

The musical style draws from bluegrassand Americana, while integrating elementsreminiscent of Bartok and Stravinsky.

Jorgensen said the music is integral tothe show.

“The music just keeps unraveling in asort of inevitable way,” he said.

Guettel himself recently came toVancouver for an evening talk and per-formance, thanks to the efforts of PatrickStreet – and, while in town, he worked

with the cast of Floyd Collins.That cast includes a coast-to-coast net-

work of Canadian musical theatre talent,with Daren A. Herbert in the title role. TheBermuda-born Herbert – whose first homeupon moving to Canada was, in fact, inNew Westminster – previously appearedin Patrick Street’s Piazza and has mostrecently been seen in Vancouver in the ArtsClub’s Dreamgirls.

He’s joined by CBC TV stars KevinMcNulty (of Arctic Air fame) and KrystinPellerin (of The Republic of Doyle), alongwith local and national talent includingDavid Adams, Nathan Carroll, GrahamCoffeng, Michael Culp, Jay Davis, MichaelTorontow, Kris Truelsen, Andrew Wade,Ashley Wright and Katey Wright.

They will be accompanied by a live, six-

piece band.The production is directed by Jorgensen,

with musical direction from JonathanMonro and assistant direction by ChrisAllan. Sets and props are designed by AmirOfek, with costumes by Barbara Clayden,lighting by Jeff Harrison and sound designby Bradley Danyluk.

Floyd Collins is onstage at the YorkTheatre, 639 Commercial Dr. in Vancouver,from March 11 to 30.

Previews are on March 11 and 12 at 8p.m., with opening night on Thursday,March 13 at 8 p.m. Tickets are priced from$19. Buy online at tickets.thecultch.com orcall 604-251-1363.

The ultimate goal? Tobecome better poets.

warns that it’s not for thefaint of heart.

Anyone with ques-tions can email Carol [email protected] you don’t have ques-tions, you’re welcome tojust show up at the groupmeeting.

Delving deepA new writing work-

shop is exploring ways

to help writers find the“more” within themselves.

Jonina Kirton is lead-ing a workshop at the NewWestminster Public Libraryon Tuesday, March 18 from6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The workshop issponsored by the RoyalCity Literary Arts Societyin partnership with thelibrary.

The workshop, pageas bone – ink as blood,explores the idea of memo-ry, as it resides in the mind,or as it exists on a cellularor ancestral level.

“As writers, we often

seek to access memory. Attimes, we circle the sametopic or theme over andover,” a press release says.“Somehow we know thereis more, but we do notknow how to get to it.”

Kirton will show how,through simple breathingtechniques and group writ-ing exercises, writers canfind that way in.

An Oscar Wilde classic is comingto life on the Douglas College stage.

The college’s department of the-atre is teaming up with thestagecraft and event technol-ogy department to stage TheImportance of Being Earnest,onstage March 7 to 14.

Wilde’s comedy, first per-formed in the 1890s, tells thestory of stylish AlgernonMoncrieff and gentlemanlyJohn Worthing, close friendswho each encounter romanticconflict while masqueradingunder the name of Ernest.

“Wilde’s play is light-hearted and humorous onthe surface, but beneath that he isdelivering some sharp critiques ofthe society and times he lived in,”

said director Thrasso Petras in a pressrelease. “I think this work still reso-nates with us because we all come

up against social orcultural boundar-ies when trying tofigure out our ownhappiness.”

Petras notes thatthe play can be achallenge for begin-ning actors.

“The world ofthe Victorian eracan be unfamiliarand difficult to con-nect with,” Petraspointed out. “Our

theatre students had to immersethemselves in the period’s culture,esthetics and even etiquette, until it

became second nature.”The cast of theatre students includes

Alexandria Gamache as GwendolenFairfax, Sam Hahn asAlgernon Moncrieff, OliviaLindgren as Lady Bracknell,Jordy Matheson as JohnWorthing, Adam Tatelman asLane/Rev. Canon Chasuble,Aylin Vandeputte as CecilyCardew and Heather Wybornas Miss Prism.

The Importance of BeingEarnest runs March 7 to 14 inthe Studio Theatre at DouglasCollege, 700 Royal Ave. indowntown New West.

Tickets are $10 to $12, andthey’re available through the Masseybox office at 604-521-5050.

Ray, a resident for the past seven years

hy wait until itmay be too late?Take steps nowto find out what

your future options are! As ourlifespan increases, many seniorsare able to remain independentfor many years; others willrequire some assistance tocontinue living the lifestyle theydesire.Debbie Clarke, marketingmanager atThornebridgeGardens says “We are a Senior’sRetirement Communitydedicated to helpingseniors enjoy a lifestyle asindependent as possible foras long as possible. We offerindividualized services forresidents in a caring, friendlyand homey atmosphere.”The park like setting ofThornebridge provides 144suites, ranging from studiosto two bedroom apartmentswith plenty of commonareas to take advantage of.Residents can take part in asmany activities as they preferor enjoy the privacy in theirown apartment.There is afull calendar to choose from,including exercise classes,bus outings, entertainment, avariety of games and interactivefocus groups plus much more.Since the residence opened

seven years ago, Clarke hasmet and taken many seniorsand their families on tours ofits beautiful accommodations,explaining the many servicesavailable to enhance theirdaily living. Besides the socialopportunities, there arenutritious and delicious meals,weekly housekeeping and thepeace of mind that goes alongwith a 24-hour emergencyresponse system.Clarke suggests that seniorsand their families start to talkabout future options soonerrather than later. “We findthat it is a process of comingto terms with the idea ofmoving.This process involveslooking at various residences,often more than once, perhapsenjoying a meal and thenmaking a decision on what feelsright for them. It is importantthat all involved experiencewhat makes “IndependentRetirement Living” so muchdifferent than a “NursingHome” or “Long Term Care”.She states “They are completelydifferent so give your parent’stime to process the idea and seefor themselves. Don’t push, butbe a support in the transition!”Many times the day to daydemands of keeping a home,shopping, preparing healthy

meals, having social interactionas well as having someoneclose by if a need arises arethe practical reasons to makea move. “Once a senior hasmoved in, they often tell methat they wonder why they tookso long to make the decision,”says Clarke. “They findit’s not about giving up theirindependence but rathercelebrating a new stage inlife that can be fulfilling andhappy.”For some seniors the fear ofletting go of the familiar maystop them from enjoying orembracing the new. Don’t letthat be you!Thornebridge Gardens islocated at 649 8th Ave. atthe corner of 6th St. NewWestminster.

It’s that time of yearagain – when kidsgive a collective “yip-

pee!” and parents sigh andscratch their heads wonder-ing how to cope with twoweeks of spring break.

Are you the parent of a pint-sized dic-tator, also known as a toddler? Are meal-times a battle with your little general whomutinously refuses to try anything thatisn’t plain pasta? The New WestminsterPublic Library has a number of booksabout helping picky eaters become lessso. Read on!

Give Peas a Chance was written by KateSamela, a dietitian and pediatric special-

ist who provides good examples of howmuch food is enough for your toddler,how to combat a reliance on milk andor juice, and how to combine the foodgroups to broaden your toddler’s palate.Stuck in a food rut? Samela gives alter-nates to commonly loved toddler foods soyou can offer variations on familiar foodsthat stand a chance at being accepted.

Looking to inject a little Gallic flairinto family mealtimes? Try French Kids EatEverything (and Yours Can Too) by KarenLe Billon. She and her family moved to

France from Canada and watched theirpicky children evolve into less pickyeaters. There are 10 “food rules” thatLe Billon shares that transformed herchildren’s relationship with food, andmade family mealtimes much less tense,although remember, yelling Rule No. 6(“you don’t have to like it but you dohave to taste it”) at your little refusenikwon’t help things along. However, dokeep Rule No. 10 in mind: “Remember,eating is joyful. Relax!”

For every parent who has desperately

coaxed one more spoonful of anythinginto a child’s mouth at mealtime, JustTwo More Bites offers solutions and infor-mation about child development andreassures parents that food refusal is anentirely normal part of a child’s develop-ment. Thankfully author Linda Piette alsooffers strategies to help parents navigatethe stormy waters of family mealtimes.

Check out the booklist in the librarycatalogue called Help for your PickyEater, and let peace reign at family meal-times once more!

Perfect choice named college athleteIt was second time lucky

for Douglas College gradRuiLin Huang at the SportB.C. athlete of the yearbanquet on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old five-time college athlete of theyear was named the SportB.C. college athlete of theyear award winner at theFairmont Hotel Vancouveron Wednesday.

Huang, who posted aremarkable 207-1 careerrecord in college badmin-ton, beat out two-timePacWest women’s soc-cer league MVP AlannaBekkering and PacWestfemale athlete of the yearKayla Bruce, the Universityof the Fraser Valley vol-leyball star who was alsoa runner-up for the colle-giate award last year.

Huang was also nomi-nated for Sport B.C.’s topcollege athlete award in2012.

“I was so surprised.Last time, I had so manydoubts. I didn’t win it,”said Huang, following herreceiving the award onWednesday.

The Mainland Chinanative won an unprec-edented five consecutiveCanadian Colleges’ asso-ciation national women’ssingles titles from 2008 to’13.

The perennial All-Canadian was also chosenCCAA female badmintonathlete of the year in fourof the five years.

In 2012, she was alsonamed the CCAA ath-lete of the year across allsports.

“It’s a good accomplish-

ment for all the hard workand all the people whohelped me,” Huang said.“Without them, I wouldn’teven have been nominatedfor this award.”

Perhaps not surprising-ly, Huang was the choiceof Douglas College as itsfemale athlete of the yearin all five years she attend-ed the New Westminstercampus.

While receiving theaward for top collegeathlete in the province,Huang became emotionalon stage.

“I don’t know why,”she added. “I never speak

English in front of so manypeople.”

After graduating fromDouglas with a degreein accounting, Huang isready to start on a newpath.

“I’m going to have anew life, start work andkeep coaching and playsome games sometimes,but not so much anymore,”Huang said.

Huang honed her bad-minton skills at China’sProvincial Sport Institutein Hunan Province for 17years before coming toCanada’s West Coast tostudy.

“When I tell (my par-ents) they will be veryhappy and proud of me.I think they would be sohappy and tell everyone.

“I won a provincialaward in China, too, andthey were so happy. It waspresented by the govern-ment in 2005, when I was15-years-old.”

Huang shared the spot-light with another athletefrom Burnaby.

Wrestler Stacie Anaka,ranked No. 2 in the worldin her weight class, wonthe female senior athlete ofthe year award.

Anaka, a Simon Fraser

University grad, earned asilver medal at the 2013senior world champion-ships and a gold at the PanAm Games.

As well, several localvolunteers were honouredwith Presidents’ awardsprior to the dinner.

Gary Steeves of NewWestminster was namedby the B.C. Blind Sports andRecreation Association.

Burnaby’s AlexanderRosemann and BurnabyCentral Secondary instruc-tor Gianni Buono weresimilarly honoured fortheir work with B.C. TableTennis and wrestling.

Clanmoveson to

secondroundSimon Fraser University

advanced to the semifinalsof Great Northwest confer-ence women’s basketballplayoffs.

The Clan reboundedfrom a disappointing loss toWestern Washington in itsfinal regular season game,beating Seattle Pacific 87-79 in a conference quarter-final playoff matchup onWednesday.

“I thought many peoplestepped up and played verywell,” said SFU head coachBruce Langford in a schoolpress release. “Meg Wilsonwas outstanding in the firsthalf and I thought Marie-Line Petit was outstandingin the second half.”

Wilson’s last-secondthree-pointer of the open-ing half, highlighted a 13-4run by the Clan.

Petit took over in thesecond half, nailing threelong-range treys, includingher third of the night in thefinal minute.

New Westminster’s KiaVan Laare also chipped inwith three three-pointers.

“We lost it a little bitand had a few stupid pos-sessions. But I think wejust stepped back, lookedat what we had to do andknew we could break theirpress,” Petit said in therelease.

SFU will play first-placefinishers Montana StateBillings today (Friday)in Lacey, Washington fora spot in the conferencefinal.

All-academicsLast week, three Clan

women were named to theGreat Northwest all-aca-demic basketball team.

Katie Lowen and VanLaare were both repeathonourees, while ChelseaReist earned a first-timenod.

Lowen, a Bachelor ofArts candidate, boasts a3.45 grade point average,while Van Laare has a 3.36GPA in kinesiology. Reist,who is close to complet-ing a degree in archeology,earned a 3.38 GPA.


All the Northwest Giants need-ed was a win, and they got it.

The Giants won a seventh con-secutive B.C. major midget hock-ey league title, narrowly edgingrunner-up Okanagan Rockets bya single point in the final regularseason standings.

“We had a little help. It waspretty shocking when we heardthe news,” said second-yearGiants coach Clint Thornton.

Last weekend, the Burnaby-based Giants swept a two-gameset with the Cariboo Cougars inPrince George, while Okanaganonly needed to do the same athome against the Northeast Chiefsto place first overall.

They couldn’t do it, tying the

fifth-place Chiefs 7-7 in their open-ing game on Saturday.

In fact, the Rockets apparentlybecame the victims of their owncomplacency, giving up five unan-swered and unexplainable goalsin the opening six minutes of thefinal period to drop what provedto be the valuable single point tothe Giants, which cost the club theregular season title.

“Our guys played well. It didn’taffect them. We just said, ‘Let’skeep doing what we’re doing,and we put four (goals) in,’” saidThornton.

The Giants blanked the Cougars7-0 in their opening game and thenensured themselves of a seventhstraight regular season title with a4-1 win on Sunday. Colton Kerfootled the Giants in the title-winningvictory with a hat trick.

On Saturday, Kerfoot, whoplaced second in league scoringwith 38 goals and 86 points, hada goal and two helpers against theCougars.

“(Kerfoot) has been good for usthat way when we needed him,”Thornton added.

Keegan Jones tallied a pair ofmarkers for the Giants in the win,as the Giants took a 3-0 first-peri-od lead before burying the PrinceGeorge club with four more goalsin the final frame.

In Sunday’s pivotal win, theGiants spotted Cariboo the firstgoal of game and then repliedwith four markers in the final12 minutes of the opening frameto coast to their 33rd win of theseason.

The Giants finished the sea-son with a record of 33-5-2, one

point better than the Rockets. TheGiants also led the 11-team loop ingoals for, fewest goals against andleast penalty minutes.

They open the playoffs onFriday with the first game of abest-of-three series against theSouth Island Royals.

“I know for a fact they will beready for us,” said Thornton. “Themessage I sent to the players wasthey are going to know your sys-tems, power play and forecheck,and we have to execute quickerand more efficiently.”

The Giants host the Royalsat the Burnaby Winter Club onFriday, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Thetwo teams play again the follow-ing night at 7:45 p.m.

If necessary, a Game 3 will beplayed on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. atthe winter club.
