Brides who lost dresses in fire get lifeline Mario [email protected]

Marisa Wiens had never been to the Golden Brides wedding shop in Downtown New Westminster.

In fact, she bought her own wedding dress from a competitor on Columbia Street’s bridal row.

But when she heard about last Thursday’s fire that destroyed two heritage buildings, including the one that housed Golden Brides, her thoughts immediately went to the women who’ve suddenly found themselves without their dream gown.

She looked at her own dress, packed away in a bag in the closet of her Surrey home for the past three years, and had a brainwave.

“Really, my dress is just sitting there,” she thought. “I’d love to donate my own wedding dress.”

So she started a Facebook page to put her idea out to other women whose own dresses are similarly packed away, but might be able to salvage a new bride’s big day.

District is open for business as area recovers from ferocious fireGrant [email protected]

While the heavy smoke from last Thursday’s fire in Downtown New Westminster had people choking the big blaze did not choke off business in the area.

That’s the message the area’s Business Improvement Association

(BIA) is trying to get out in the wake of the fire that destroyed three historic buildings along Columbia and Front Streets.

Although more than 15 businesses and offices have been affected there are still 300 businesses open and ready to serve customers, said BIA executive director Kendra Johnston.

“It’s important to us to let people know that. That’s our fear. Even though it’s been a big loss, there are still places open down here,” said

Johnston.She added smoke damage affected

several businesses across Columbia Street and west of McKenzie, but they were all cleaned up over the weekend and reopened.

“It’s amazing how everyone has been coming together and supporting each other,” said Johnston. “It is going to be tough but there’s a lot of positivity in the air. There are a lot of people coming together and helping each other.”

The Network Hub in the River Market offered office space, and ACORN and Twisted Lime Media took them up on their generosity. Network Hub co-founder Jay Catalan said a third business, Pacific New West Tax, will be moving in temporarily. In addition, Five Stones Church, which was just up Columbia Street from the fire, used the Hub’s meeting room for its Sunday services.

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERSRailway Community Advisory Panel

The City is seeking applications for a Queensborough Community Representative on the Railway Community Advisory Panel (RCAP).

The panel, with representation from the City, the railways and the community, is intended to:

• Provide a forum for the exchange of information between the Canadian Pacifi c, Canadian National, Southern Railway of British Columbia and Burlington Northern Railways and the City of New Westminster.

• Meet, discuss and provide updates of plans, concerns or issues and assist in resolutions between the railways and the City.

• Provide recommendations to the railways and City on specifi c issues or items as required, such as railway operations and infrastructure improvements and planned developments or area restructure plans adjacent to railway right-of-way.

RCAP is intended to meet quarterly, or at the call of the panel’s Chair as issues arise.

Committees are created by Mayor and Council to consider information concerning specifi c issues which would otherwise absorb the time and attention of Council. By fulfi lling this role, committees enable Council to perform its legislative function more eff ectively and effi ciently. A committee must therefore operate in accordance with the specifi c mandate and terms of reference or bylaw approved by Council. The Local Government Act provides that all proceedings of a committee are subject to the approval of Council (except if certain powers are delegated by bylaw).

Please note, you must be a Queensborough Resident in order to qualify for the vacancy. If you wish to be considered for appointment, please submit your application with a brief personal resume of your background (even if you have done so in the past). We encourage you to apply online or download an application form at www.newwestcity.ca. Applicants may submit their hard copy applications by:

Catalan said the businesses are welcome to stay up to three months until they settle in elsewhere. “We had space and they needed space. It was just a horrible thing to happen, and if we can lend a hand, why not?”

The New Westminster police and fire departments are conducting a joint investigation of the fire which claimed three heritage buildings, two constructed in 1899. It started in the E.L Lewis building, which was built in 1904, but investigators were still trying to determine the cause this week, said city spokesperson Blair Fryer.

In his capacity as New Westminster’s economic development manager, Fryer said the city is working with the BIA to help the affected businesses by expediting any permits they need to relocate.

“We want to assist them in their setup and then deal with the paperwork afterward,” said Fryer.

The long-range plans for the historic block are in the gestation period and what form, heritage or otherwise, it takes has yet to be determined.

“It’s too early at this time, but

clearly with what’s happened there and with the additional work that needs to be there, there’s a vacant spot in our Downtown commercial district, and a lot of thought will go into making that corner shine,” Fryer said. “It is going to be an interesting challenge, but the community has demonstrated by its actions the last few days it’s up

for this challenge.”New West’s Downtown has

been experiencing a revitalization in recent years, and Fryer doesn’t see the fire affecting that negatively, especially if the reconstruction is done relatively quickly.

“If anything it’s really heightened and drawn attention to all the work that’s been

happening on Columbia Street and all the revitalization that has been occurring,” said Fryer of the fire.

The BIA wants to be part of that discussion, said Johnston, but she wasn’t certain how much a role the heritage aspect of the site—which housed the iconic Copp’s Shoes store for more than 85 years—would play.

“It’s hard for us to grasp that yet. We’ll certainly be discussing that for us as a board and looking at it as we go forward,” she said.

Johnston said another building on the block suffered some water and smoke damage but the businesses there were set to open within a week.

Karmavore vegan restaurant and deli is also on that block and was closed while they went through the insurance, and health and building inspection process. Karmavore’s Facebook site said the store lost power for more than 24 hours which affected their refrigeration, forcing them to throw out most of their product and ingredients.

Fryer said the Anvil Centre, the civic facility currently under construction at Columbia and Eighth, was not affected by any smoke damage but many businesses on the north side of Columbia Street were. “It certainly did cause discomfort for those in the vicinity.”

Union Gospel Mission is along that stretch and with its gas shut down its Thanksgiving turkey dinner had to be cooked at its downtown Vancouver location and then delivered to New West to serve 300 guests.

The New Westminster Chamber of Commerce is setting up a fire relief fund to assist businesses affected by last week’s fire that claimed three Downtown buildings.

The chamber, led by director Bart Slotman, is setting up a community committee to establish criteria for how any raised or donated funds can be

disbursed. The Downtown New

Westminster Business Improvement Association and the media will also be invited to participate on the committee.

“The business community has responded with generosity,” said chamber president Christine Conway of

the fire’s aftermath. “It has been very

encouraging to see businesses across New West support other businesses for the greater good of the Downtown area.”

Donations to the fund can be made at any Westminster Savings branch, account No. [email protected]

Truck rollover jams traffic in New West and beyond

Traffic throughout New Westminster and southeast Burnaby was snarled Tuesday afternoon after a large demolition truck flipped its load of debris on a cloverleaf leading to the Queensborough Bridge.

New West police say the accident happened about 11:30 a.m. at the north end of the bridge as it circled off Stewardson Way onto the bridge. The trailer tipped and dragged the tractor unit into the cement barriers causing major damage to the cab, said police.

The driver escaped with minor injuries and no other vehicles got hit by the debris. The bridge was closed to southbound traffic until after the evening rush hour. The incident caused gridlock on several feed-in routes such as Marine Way, Stewardson Way, Royal Avenue and many others.

WeeklyHealth Tip

While many studies in the past have often suggested that

standing is a better posture than sitting, the truth is that prolonged standing is not a solution to most aches and pains either! The fact is that MOVEMENT is the key to remaining healthy. Whether at

home, at work or in your activity of choice, try to move often from one posture to another, and back

and forth, and your body will thank you.

The response, she said, was immediate and overwhelming. In less than a day the site had more than 450 “likes” and dozens of women had uploaded photos of their dresses to a special album.

Each photo is accompanied by a description of its size, how old it is, who designed it and any special features.

“It’s amazing to see so many women willing to donate their dress,” said Wiens, who hasn’t

been able to make contact with anyone from the Golden Brides shop so she can connect women who lost their dresses in the fire with those donating dresses. She’s hoping as word spreads, those women will be able to browse the gallery, and find something that suits their needs.

Wiens said she’s taking it on good faith that those browsing the donated dresses are genuinely in need.

She’s not collecting dresses herself; recipients and donors

will be able to connect to each other directly through the Facebook page.

“I’m more so thinking of the brides who are in a pinch,” said Wiens.

“I hope there aren’t people out there who are going to take advantage.”

I went down to the site of the fire yesterday.

Part of me didn’t want to. I knew it would be a mess,

and there are serious people there trying to get work done in whose way I don’t want to get, and although we are (thankfully) lucky that no-one was seriously hurt or killed by the fire, the site is a type of grave—the smoldering remains of people’s businesses, aspirations, dreams.

I didn’t want to be a gawker. Approaching the site in the early evening, I was angry at the news helicopters circling. I was bothered by people who brought their kids to the parkade to ogle the damage and get pictures. But there I was, a gawker, an ogler. I even took a picture.

I talked to quite a few people on Thursday and Friday. I heard sad stories of loss. There are people who lost almost everything in this fire. There are businesses not coming back. Some things insurance can replace, some it cannot.

For me, it was strange how emotional this fire is. I didn’t lose

anything personally, I don’t even live close enough to have heard the sirens. Several years ago when I lived on Royal and 10th, the paint store right across the street burned to the ground in a spectacular display. Right next door, but to me it wasn’t much more than a curiosity. Why is this fire different? Of the shops that were lost, the only one I frequented was La Saigonnais.

But there is something about those heritage buildings on Columbia Street, something in their 110-year-old bones, that make their loss different.

The Copp’s building was one of those locations I remember going into and remarking at the space, which filled me with ideas. I could see a funky bar/coffee shop, a book/media store,

a decent men’s clothing place that isn’t Moores. There was so much potential there to be realized. Maybe that’s where the difference was: this building was not just part of our landscape, it was part of our imagination about what New Westminster will be if we keep pushing ideas.

Fortunately, the loss is only half the story. The rest of the story is about a community coming together in time of crisis. It started with our neighbouring communities, Burnaby and Delta, backing up our fire crews.

The rest of the story continued as the first social media and old-school phone call offers of help. At first, so many offers to help that they outdistanced the requests for help from the impacted businesses. The city stepped in with business continuity planning. The chamber of commerce and Downtown BIA immediately started sending out messages, and developed lists of all the businesses and individuals in town who want to provide temporary space, technical help,

services, cupcakes, whatever. People around town were not

gawking, they were asking how and who they can help.

This fire was a strike at the soul of the city, but the soul did not lose a piece, it was just tempered a bit. This city will be strengthened by the community connections that are being forged as we get past this.

There is talk of a benefit event of some sort at The Columbia.

People will be sharing as they try to move their businesses forward. People will say thank you, and others will say you are welcome. This will be the social glue that fills the gaps created by this fire, long before a new building fills the physical gap in our downtown.

The day after the fire, the marquee on the Paramount Theatre said “We Love You New West. Stay Strong.”

I love this city.

City goes through trial by fire

School zones should be quiet oases where children can walk safely without fear of being tomorrow’s headline. In fact, school zones during morning drop-off are some of the biggest danger areas, worse than mall parking lots during the Christmas rush.

This past week, school authorities, IWALK, Dash BC, TransLink and ICBC worked on various campaigns, including prizes, to promote more children walking to school during International Walk To School Week.

It was a feel-good exercise. But the fact remains many

kids never walk to school, and a campaign like this doesn’t accomplish that much.

Kids get driven to school every day for a variety of reasons: convenience or lack of time; parents’ fears for their children’s safety; or because their child attends a program of choice outside their catchment area.

While it would be nice if more people walked their kids to school or neighbourhood “walking school buses” got kids to school safely, the fact remains cars are still a popular form of transportation and school zones are congested and dangerous.

What’s needed is not prizes for kids but more awareness for parents, some of whom take great risks — and put other children at risk — when they drop off their kids. Sometimes, it’s not even the fault of parents that school zones are dangerous but the fact these zones are poorly planned because they were built when most kids did walk to school.

Maybe it’s time for some more lasting solutions. Where possible, schools need proper pick up/dropoff zones. Children old enough to do so should be encouraged to walk if they’re close enough—especially if they have a buddy or two to walk with.

And maybe the best solution is for all of us is to have a little more patience. A sign, perhaps, as you enter the school zone, saying simply: “breathe.”

COMMENTWe want to

commend all those who came out and offered assistance to those who were and are devastated by last week’s horrendous fire on Columbia Street.

It was amazing to see how many actually came in to show support.

Vic and I were walking at Westminter Pier Park on Wednesday evening and looking at the Fraser and back onto Front Street. A few weeks earlier, Vic had spoken with Norm Friesen, the singing barber, who had a shop on McKenzie Street and would be retiring in early November.

Norm is now living in Penticton and was driving down every second week.

Vic had also spoken with Doug McCallum, a Second World War veteran and local retired man in his late 80s that is a member of Sapperton OA Pensioners. Doug’s grandfather and uncle had a barber shop in that same location in the 1920s.

Norm had a picture of Doug’s grandfather and uncle in his shop, which is now likely gone.

Vic also knew Terry Brine and his father, Ralph, who wrote the book on Eastward Ho, the canoe trip that

took them to Montreal in 1967 for EXPO. All the proceeds from that book went to Ralph’s granddaughter, Eva Markvoort, who had cystic fibrosis.

Then we heard the news on Thursday morning just before 7 a.m., and came down to take a look.

Wow. What a shock. Vic Leach and Louisa Lundy

A CHALLENGE TO OTHER ’HOODS

On behalf of the McBride-Sapperton Residents’ Association, I would like to thank the dedicated group of neighbourhood volunteers who braved the torrential downpours on Sunday, Sept. 29, to help clean up several blocks of Sapperton.

With funding provided by the Vancouver Foundation Neighbourhood Small Grants, 17 residents formed the Sapperton Trash Mob, which, within approximately 75 minutes, managed to clean up a substantial amount of garbage on East Columbia Street and the residential blocks in the surrounding area. These volunteers included a number of young people, ranging

in age from 3 to 16, among them members of the 12th New Westminster Scout Troop.

In that short period of time, the trash mob collected 21.56 kg of garbage, including a dead rat, and 12.89 kg of recyclables, which included small panes of glass and a discarded bicycle. Disturbingly, the most common items collected were cigarette butts—2,918 of them!—and the plastic wrapping from cigarette packages that smokers carelessly discard on the sidewalks and streets.

This is the second neighbourhood clean-up this year, and we hope to make it a biannual tradition. We encourage and challenge other New West neighbourhoods to have similar clean-up days in their areas of our city. If we can make such a difference in our area in just over one hour, think of how much more beautiful New Westminster will be if all neighbourhoods dedicate one hour twice a year to cleaning up their streets!

IT COMES DOWN TO ENFORCEMENT

There have been a fair number of comments and concerns about the heavy trucks on New Westminster roads—all justified.

My experience with city hall has been close to dismal.

Living in the West End, on a 20th Street corner has been frustrating at best.

Heavy trucks continue to use it even though it has not been a truck route for 12 years.

There has been intermittent police enforcement at best.

So, even if Royal Avenue becomes a ‘’no truck route,’’ or any other New West street does, for that matter, residents can expect poor enforcement.

Even though fines would greatly increase city hall coffers.

Work halted after ‘unauthorized changes’ to heritage homeOwners seek changes to original agreement; council dividedGrant [email protected]

Owners of a Queen’s Park heritage home that breached its covenant with the city are asking to modify the agreement retroactively to allow a variation of the renovation changes already made.

Although two city councillors don’t want them to get away with it, council is giving the owners an opportunity to go through the process to get the changes approved.

A covenant for 218 Fourth St., at the corner of St. George Street, was established in September 2007. It outlined the proposed design which the owners were expected to stick to during renovations with some wiggle room for contingencies.

Since receiving a building permit in 2007, the owners have been renovating in small steps. The house had been receiving

regular city inspections and some small changes were allowed.

However, when a building inspector showed up Aug. 21 he said some recent work did not conform to the building permit or the covenant plans, and put a stop-work order on the property.

The city told the owners to either dial the renovations back to the design in the covenant or provide updated plans that honour the original covenant and ask council to approve those modifications.

The original architect has since been rehired—he had been replaced after the co-owner who

spearheaded the 2007 design bowed out—to come up with drawings that give the owners what they want and also honour the original designs.

“He did a really good job of that,” said city heritage planner Julie Schueck. “However, council is understandably concerned with somebody doing work contrary to the permit.

“There was such a change that was allowed at the beginning to make it bigger, that while it’s a well-done design, and a lovely design, it’s a new house.”

The original ownership group included three people. But one—the driving force behind the original covenant—has withdrawn.

In an email to the city, the owners said they have done their best to address the issues quickly, including meeting with neighbours and the Queen’s Park Residents Association.

“We wish to resolve the situation in a way that is mutually satisfactory to us as

homeowners and meet the city’s expectations for building codes and neighbourhood standards,” they wrote.

At last Monday’s meeting, council decided to go ahead with an Oct. 28 public hearing on the requested modifications, although two councillors were against it.

Coun. Bill Harper said if council allows the changes, it will enable owners to essentially renegotiate their covenants retroactively after doing unauthorized renos.

“What’s the sense of having a bylaw?” wondered Harper.

“Why follow rules and regulations if they can get away with it?” added Coun. Betty McIntosh. “I don’t think it’s acceptable to say, ‘Oh well, we’ll just take it to a public hearing.’ ”

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said he’s willing to have an open mind and let the proposal go through the public hearing process before making a decision. Mayor Wayne Wright said council should go see the house before they decide.

Late last year, Victoria Lambert went looking for a spot to take her burgeoning furniture paint mixing business which she’d been running out of her Downtown New

Westminster apartment kitchen.

She and her brother and business partner Bradford fell in love with a spot on Front Street and opened Fat Paint in March. Now they’re looking again, because Fat Paint

was collateral damage in last Thursday morning’s fire that claimed three heritage buildings on Columbia, McKenzie and Front streets.

Lambert had a bird’s-eye view of the blaze from her 17th floor abode. At first her building wasn’t affected since it started in the E.L. Lewis building. But as the morning progressed so did her concern. She could tell the water damage was going to be bad.

“In the beginning we were obviously upset and concerned watching the fire grow, knowing we would be faced with smoke and water damage knowing that could be the least of our worries,” said Lambert as she hunted down other places to set up shop.

Since opening, the business had taken off, she says. Retail outlets were interested in their innovative process, especially after she’d switched from using her KitchenAid mixer in her apartment to an industrial mixer in the new place.

They were supplying 22 retailers throughout North America, with a list of another 10 to be brought on line in the next few months.

“We were just growing leaps and bounds,” said Lambert, who noted they had seven orders on deck when the fire broke out.

They’d also used the Front Street space to set up workshops for the public and the mezzanine became an art gallery.

“The place was so fantastically gorgeous,” said Lambert. “It’s been very devastating, but also for our neighbours. It’s not just been us that has been affected.”

Although it was still standing as fire crews cleaned up, it didn’t take much for them to

realize their building, which also housed Twisted Lime Media, wasn’t worth saving. The water damage was just too much. Before tearing it down, fire officials allowed two people to go into the store to salvage what they could. Bradford Lambert and artist friend Robyn Murrell poked around and only managed to find a couple of items and some small stuff worth preserving.

“A lot of what we had we brought into the business, all of our equipment, a lot of our supplies, a lot of our product, it’s all gone,” said Lambert.

Lambert and Murrell are part of the B2B women’s business network, which Lambert says has been “enormously supportive” and so have city staff and politicians, among others.

“Our retailers have been very patient. We can’t lose them so we have to get back to work,” said Lambert.

That’s why she and her brother are scouring the area for a new space.

They want something with at least 800 square feet, easily accessible with lots of water for cleanup.

The circumstances have them considering shifting their focus to strictly paint manufacturing.

“This tragedy is having us take another look at our business plan and how we move forward.”

Fat Paint had insurance but Lambert said it’s hard to know how much of their losses will be covered.

The building where Fat Paint was located— shown in this photo before the fire—had

many of the features the historic buildings in

the area are famous for, including high ceilings

and exposed brick.

ROB MICKELBERRY’S JOURNEY TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCYAfter nearly a year travelling on a “rock star” bus from one end of North America to another, Rob Mickelberry, his wife and three children were ready to re-establish permanent roots back home in Victoria.

“We bought a property while we were on the road,” says Rob, “then lived in the old house while we sub-divided the lot and built a new home that would be ours.” Because Rob wanted the home – completed in May 2013 – “for the long haul,” he was determined it would not cost a fortune to run.

By calling in certified energy advisors City Green Solutions early in the design process, Rob was able to build-in a number of refinements – including an air source heat pump, triple glazing, a heat recovery ventilation system and extra insulation – that resulted in the home achieving a remarkable EnerGuide 88 rating from Natural Resources Canada.

That makes it, says Mike Young of City Green, “approximately 59 per cent more energy efficient than if this home had been built to BC Building Code standards.” It will also save Rob an estimated $1,500 to $1,800 a year on his energy bills.

Icing on the cake: the high EnerGuide rating also qualified Rob for $2,000 in incentives from the BC Hydro Power Smart New Home Program, and he’s eligible for the ENERGY STAR® Package incentive of $150 per home for installing qualified energy-efficient lighting and appliances.

A memorial was held for West Vancouver Police Const. Jeff Beglaw in New West last last month. Beglaw, 50, died after going into cardiac arrest at police headquarters. He had previously served with the Royal Westminster Regiment. After the funeral service, a procession marched by the Armoury on Queens Avenue.

Publisher Margaret Cadwaladr will talk about the process, challenges and rewards of memoir writing in a free workshop at the New Westminster Public Library on Nov. 5 at 6:30 p.m.

Cadwaladr recently collaborated with the late George Reid on his memoir of his experiences in Italy as a Seaforth Highlander during WWII, including 18 months spent in eight Nazi POW camps. Like many soldiers, Reid never talked about his harrowing service, but he did take copious notes.

Cadwaladr transcribed and edited those notes and worked with Reid to turn them into a book, Speed’s War: A Canadian Soldier’s Memoir of WWII, which was published when he was 84 years old.

Reid, who became a firefighter in North Vancouver when he returned to civilian life, died in February.

The workshop is sponsored by the Royal City Literary Arts Societ and the New Westminster Public Library.

Wu sentenced to three months in absentia for contemptJeff Nagel and Wanda ChowBlack Press

A rogue Burnaby dentist still wanted on a Canada-wide warrant was sentenced in absentia Tuesday to three months in jail for contempt of court.

Tung Sheng (David) Wu has been on the lam since his makeshift illegal dental office in a rented Burnaby house on Southwood Street was raided in April after a tip from the public sparked an investigation.

Wu had been working without adequate infection control systems – in contravention of an earlier ban on practising dentistry dating back to 2003 – prompting a public health alert and warnings to more than 450 patients to get tested for blood-borne diseases.

According to the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C., Wu responded to the prosecution by filling a vehicle with dental equipment in August in an attempt to relocate and set up shop in a new jurisdiction.

College CEO Jerome Marburg said in a conference call from Edinburgh, Scotland that Wu has gone into hiding and taken active steps to avoid justice.

“He is a person without honour or regard for Canadian civil society,” he said. “He has preyed on the vulnerable and put many persons’ health at significant risk.”

A B.C. Supreme Court judge also awarded the college special costs, including the cost of investigating and prosecuting the case that already exceeds $140,000.

Marburg said the three-month sentence reflects the seriousness of the case and underscores that the illegal practice of unsanctioned dentistry

will not be tolerated.“We are starting to

hear about clients of Mr. Wu’s who have orthodontics and need treatment. We strongly encourage them to see a qualified, registered dentist to have those orthodontics assessed, adjusted or taken out.”

He was also using materials not approved by Health Canada, Marburg said, again urging former clients to get checked out by a qualified dentist to ensure there are no lasting health effects as a result.

Wu is suspected of being in hiding in either Metro Vancouver or Toronto and Marburg said the case won’t be closed until he is found.

Marburg said they’re not convinced they’ll be able to collect on the costs awarded.

“You’ve got to get him first, is the problem … we’ve got to get him and go from there,” he said.

“This is a public health issue, much more than a money issue as far as we’re concerned.”

The college’s has not determined what level of training Wu has but is clear it’s not adequate.

“Here’s somebody who’s doing stuff without radiographs, you can’t diagnose things without radiographs. He’s doing things without infection control. Those two alone tell you he doesn’t meet … the standards of a Canadian practitioner.”

Marburg said it would be naive to assume this is an isolated case.

“It’s relatively novel to us, not entirely so, we’ve had experience with this in the past, not a lot,” he said.

“Yes, we are looking into some other files.”

The courts have granted the college permission to speak with Canada Revenue

Agency about some of Wu’s financial records it discovered during its investigation, which show him taking

cash payments from clients and sending substantial amounts of money overseas while reporting a lower level of income on his

tax return.“Our conversations

with CRA is going to hopefully bring more powers of the state to this case and CRA

certainly has more resources and more powers than we do.”

Anyone with information on Wu’s whereabouts can call the college at 604-209-1708.

An online registry to check any dentist’s status is on the college’s website at cdsbc.org. Wu was never registered with the college or qualified to practise in B.C. and is not to be confused with two other Metro Vancouver dentists with similar names.

ALAN WARDLE/HYACKSNew Westminster Hyacks quarterback Tommy Robertson goes head-over-heels to score a touchdown against the host Vancouver College Fighting Irish on Saturday. Robertson scored three TDs but the Hyacks lost 34-21.

New Westminster quarterback Tommy Robertson scored three touchdowns but it wasn’t enough as the Vancouver College Fighting Irish downed the visiting Hyacks 34-21 in a AAA varsity football game Saturday.

The Hyacks had gone into the game with a newly minted No. 4 ranking while the Irish had been knocked out of the Big 5 and dumped down to honourable mention status.

New West trailed 20-7 at the half but could not close the deficit to any less than 13 the rest of the game. All three of Robertson’s TD runs were short ones. Receiver Tristan Sands tied a NWSS record with nine catches.

The loss gives the Hyacks a 5-2 record overall and 2-2 in conference play. They have a bye this weekend before playing the Notre Dame Jugglers at Mercer Stadium on Oct. 25, 7:30 p.m. A win would clinch a playoff spot for the Hyacks.

They will finish the regular season with another home game against the Handsworth Royals on Nov. 1.

• In junior varsity play, New West blanked Vancouver’s Eric Hamber Griffins 50-0 last Thursday. They were to play the Hugh Boyd Trojans in Richmond Thursday. They’ll take on Vancouver College at Mercer next Thursday, 5:30 p.m.

The New Westminster Warlocks captured the 2013 Canadian senior men’s field lacrosse championship last weekend.

The Warlocks defeated the Whalley Ballers 13-11 Sunday to take the Ross Cup. New West’s Mark Negrin was named offensive tournament MVP while goaltender Ross Manson took the defensive MVP honours.

The Warlocks defeated Alberta 17-10 Friday and Elora, Ont., 17-10 Saturday to lock up a spot in the final before finishing the round robin with an 11-8 loss to the defending champion Ballers later Saturday.

Other Warlocks named to the tournament all-star team were defender Jono Rachfall, forward Reece Robinson and Negrin.

Performance is a revealing composite of life in skin tradeMonisha MartinsBlack Press

As her colleagues strike poses under a spotlight on stage, Flora Karas twirls just beyond the curtain.

Decked out in a white and gold bustier, Karas sparkles. Her tail feathers fall in a cascade as she shakes her bottom, seemingly oblivious to theatre technicians around her at The Columbia in New Westminster.

Much like her character, the spunky bombshell who plays Pink Champagne in NeverYouMind Productions’

presentation of A Particular Class of Women needs to float into her own world at times.

“People don’t know if Pink Champagne is in reality or not and I think a lot of people look at me like that. They think Flora lives in her own world. Trust me, it’s way better in Floraland,” Karas says with a cheeky grin.

Written by Janet Feindel, who spent 10 years as a stripper, A Particular Class of Women is a revealing composite of life in the skin trade. It was inspired by a 1985 court case in Ontario, where a stripper was raped at knife-point. The presiding judge paid little attention

to the crime because the victim “was from a particular class of women whose profession it is to promote lust.”

Featuring raw monologues, the play offers a realistic look at

the lives of these often marginalized women.

Karas’ character is a Polish immigrant – a feature dancer – who is alienated and bullied by the other strippers at the club.

Transforming into Pink Champagne has centred Karas. Though daunting, it’s a role she

wants to honour.“She’s probably

one of the strongest characters in the play,” says Karas.

“She had to make a really hard choice in life. All she truly wants is to be accepted.”

Karas can relate to Pink Champagne’s drive to be a feature

dancer – a star.“It takes a lot of

responsibility and hard work to get yourself to that status. It wasn’t just given to her. It’s not far from how I am,” she explains.

“I think the other girls don’t understand that she is where she is because she’s worked hard for it.”

To prepare for the role, Karas got Polish women to read the script, tweaked her accent to turn the “k’s” to “g’s” and learned to accept her body, flaws and all.

“I believe my whole life has been building up to this part,” says Karas.

“This play forces you to accept yourself 100 per cent. Once you give yourself permission to use your humanity and your meat-suit to tell a

real, truthful story, it’s magical.”

NeverYouMind Productions draws its name from Blueberry Girl, a book and poem by Neil Gaiman, a tale of empowerment that director Lisa Marie Marrelli often reads to her twin daughters.

It’s perfect for the company whose goal is to create theatre that feeds the soul. As the director Marrelli has had to acquaint herself with all the characters in A Particular Class of Women.

“It’s about empowering women putting them in a place of being in control.”

• A Particular Class of Women plays at The Columbia in New Westminster Oct 24-25. For tickets, visit neveryoumind productions.com.

Style reigns supreme at Salix, Woodbridge Homes’ condominium project in Surrey’s Clayton Heights neighbourhood that combines gorgeous homes and a great location in one amazing package.

“The value we’re presenting here is really unmatched,” says sales manager Rob Carlsen. “You’re going to have a well-built home that

you’ll enjoy for years to come.”Stylish elegance is the name of the game at

Salix, with its Georgian-inspired architecture. Red brick and styled ironwork combine with the craftsman woodwork accents to make for a chic entrance to the four-storey building.

Woodbridge is now selling the final homes in the project. Most are two-bedroom and two-bedroom-and-den plans, but Carlsen says there’s still a wide variety, with six different plans to choose from.

“Now is really the time to buy,” he says, adding that Salix recently opened up their new model home.

When it comes to finishings, buyers have two different interior design schemes to choose from: one contemporary and one traditional. The contemporary scheme (called Sallow) feature stone countertops and chic

white satin flat panel upper cabinets and dark laminate flat panel lower cabinets, complemented by a modern stainless-steel feature hood fan in the kitchen. Meanwhile, the traditional scheme (called Willow) includes elegant granite countertops and Victorian cabinetry in a dark wood, with its own custom Broan hood fan.

“Our unique finishings really stand above the crowd,” Carlsen says.

Both options feature stainless-steel appliances and under-cabinet lighting, along with spacious bathrooms with walk-in showers surrounded by ceramic tile and well-lit large vanity mirrors.

Storage space abounds at Salix, and purchasers now have the opportunity to upgrade to a huge storage locker as part of the new incentive package offered by the

developer.The views from the homes at Salix are

spectacular, with some facing Mount Baker. Oversized windows let the natural light pour in, and you can easily imagine spending your evenings on your private patio or balcony. Nine-foot ceilings (10 feet on the top and ground floors) contribute to the overall feeling of spaciousness.

Salix is perfectly located in the Clayton Heights area to take advantage of all its amenities, from shopping and dining at Willowbrook Shopping Centre to schools, leisure and recreation opportunities in the neighbourhood itself.

“I feel really good about the value we’re providing to purchasers,” Carlsen says. “It’s a small, quiet building in a prime location.”

Woodbridge is also offering a $10,000 incentive package right now to buyers, who can put that money towards upgrades on their home.

“It’s a gift from the builder to our buyers,” says Carlsen. “It’s an amazing value at our price point.”

Homes at Salix start at $219,900, and you can move in this fall. For more information, visit www.salixliving.com, call 604-530-0054 or visit the presentation centre at 6477 196th Street, Surrey, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

Submitted photosWoodbridge Homes’ Salix features Georgian-style architecture, with red brick accents and styled ironwork, above. The homes are spacious and inviting, with wood laminate flooring and large windows to let the natural light pour in, above right.
