45-8TH STREET NEW WESTMINSTER (OPPOSITE TO NEW WESTMINSTER SKYTRAIN STATION)

Like many Canadians, SteveVandermey fell in love with hockeyat a young age, and pursued the

sport at the competitive level rightthrough his adult years.

It wasn’t until hewas in his mid-30s- when he devel-oped complicationswith diabetes andlost 90 per cent ofhis vision withinfive years - that hehad to hang up hisskates.

Or so he thought.After a chance meeting with a

member of the B.C. Blind Sports andRecreation Association at a Canucksgame, Vandermey heard about theVancouver Eclipse, a recreational hockeyteam made up of blind and visuallyimpaired players.

At first he was skeptical that anyonecould play hockey without seeing thepuck, but eventually he decided to giveit a try and has been playing weekly eversince.

“It was great to be back on the ice,” hesaid of his first hockey practice as a visu-ally impaired player. “It’s like riding abike; you don’t lose that skill. As soon asI stepped on the ice I knew exactly whatit was like, but it was just getting aroundand trying to adapt to the blind gamethat was the toughest, because I was soused to seeing.”

To the spectator, a blind hockey gameis much the same as any other, except forone noticeable difference: the noise.

The puck is about double the normalsize, and is made of hollow metal thatcontains ball bearings. When it’s hit witha hockey stick, slammed into the boardsor slides down the ice, it rattles loudly,which gives players an acoustic means oflocating it at all times.

Also, some of the rules of the gameare modified to avoid injuries.

All players must wear full face masks,and there are no slap shots, high stickingor body checks allowed; though inevi-tably there will be some body contact,Vandermey noted.

Sometimes players do accidentallyrun into the net or the boards or evenother players, but for the most part, thegame is quick and players position them-selves as sighted players do, he said.

The Eclipse has about three sightedplayers on the regular roster who helpwith calling out positions or locatingthe puck if it stops, but only blind orvisually impaired players are allowed toscore a goal. As such, goals can only bescored in the bottom half of the net, forthe safety of the goalie.

Vandermey played goalie throughouthis competitive hockey days, and is nowone of two goalies for the Eclipse.

Whereas he is considered visuallyimpaired, the other goalie is consideredblind, though he can perceive a smallpinhole of light in each eye.

What many people do not realize isthe vast majority of people who have avisual impairment are not totally blind,though they may be considered legallyblind, Vandermey said.

There is a ranking in blind sports,which ranges from blindness to severevisual impairment.

B1 means totally blind, B2 meansvery low vision and B3 means partiallysighted.

The Eclipse team is made up of play-ers in all three categories.

Players come from all over theLower Mainland – from as far away asAbbotsford – for the noon ice time everyFriday, from September through March.

The team was formed about 15 years

ago and, until this year, held practices inVancouver, but found they had increas-ing challenges with getting ice time,Vandermey said.

In September, the team moved toMoody Park Arena in New Westminsterwhere management allows players toleave their equipment on site during theweek and staff watch over players’ guidedogs at the front desk while they’re onthe ice.

“We’ve been there ever since andit’s worked out really, really well,” saidVandermey. “It’s an excellent rink.”

The team’s calendar is filling up forthe coming year.

The non-profit B.C. Blind Sport andRecreation Association sponsors TheEclipse by helping with coordinatingevents and covering the cost of rentingthe rink each week, but the team is alsoplanning to host some fundraisers oftheir own.

This Saturday, Dec. 22 from noon to1 p.m., the public is invited to drop in

to check out blind hockey and watch ademo game at Moody Park Arena at 701Eighth Ave.

Admission is by donation, and every-one is welcome to join in for a free skateand get tickets for a raffle draw.

The Eclipse will also be playing ademo game on Jan. 15 during an inter-mission at an Abbotsford Heat AHLgame as a fundraiser for next year’sblind hockey tournament at Maple LeafGardens in Toronto.

Vandermey said his team is alsoworking on lobbying the InternationalOlympic Committee to get ice hockey onthe list of Paralympic winter sports.

“They’re watching what we’re doingand, I think as Canadians, it’s up to us tobring every kind of hockey to the globalstage; so why not low-vision/blind hock-ey as well?”

New Westminster citycouncil isn’t quite readyto consider a developmentproposal for a property inQueensborough.

The city has received anapplication to rezone 702Salter St. to allow a 65-unitresidential development. Inaddition to 63 town homes,two units would be includ-ed in the Emery property’s1912 house, which wouldbe retained through a heri-tage revitalization agree-ment.

The City of NewWestminster has alsoreceived an application todevelop the adjacent prop-erty at 620 Salter St.

On. Dec. 10, councilreceived two reports fromthe city’s director of devel-opment services – one thatdealt with the rezoningapplication for 702 SalterSt. and another that dealtwith the official commu-nity plan amendment forboth properties.

“The intent of theQueensborough officialcommunity plan was to seethis area developed withmulti-family housing,”stated a staff report. “Thecommunity is currentlyconsidering the future ofthe Queensborough com-munity plan.All of the land-use proposals reviewed bythe community and councilhave shown these proper-

ties designated for residen-tial development at medi-um density.”

Council moved forwardwith the official commu-nity plan bylaw amend-ment for 620 Salter St., buttabled the report about theproposed rezoning of 702Salter St. to a future councilmeeting. It also asked thatthe bylaw amendment for702 Salter St. be broughtback for its considerationat the completion of theQueensborough commu-nity plan.

A staff report noted thatboth sites have inconsis-tencies between the land-use designation and thedevelopment permit areadesignation in the offi-cial community plan. Thereport notes that the exactland-use designation ofthe parcels in the existingQueensborough communi-ty plan is in “cartoon formrather than parcel based”so it’s difficult to determinethe exact land use of theparcels in the plan.

Jim Hurst, a develop-ment planner with thecity, said the communityplan that was developedin the 1990s reflected theway plans were done atthat time. He said there arefewer inconsistencies withthe property at 620 SalterSt. so council felt comfort-able moving forward withthe public process for thatsite.

“It was conceptual,” he

said about community plandeveloped in the 1990s.“It was meant to be a bitlooser, but it posed theseproblems.”

While some councillorsfelt it was better to waituntil the Queensboroughcommunity plan processhad concluded to deal with

the proposal for 702 SalterSt., Coun. Betty McIntoshopposed tabling the appli-cation, as she doesn’tbelieve this is the way acity should do business.McIntosh felt comfortablecontinuing with the publicprocess.

“We, as a council, have

been the ones who have notbeen expediting the pro-cess,” she said of the officialcommunity plan updatefor Queensborough. “NewWestminster gets a poorreputation with developersby doing this.”

McIntosh said the appli-cation should come as no

surprise to council as it’sbeen in the works for sometime. She noted that thecity’s community heritagecommission had alreadyconsidered the matter andrecommended the heritagehouse on the property at702 Salter St. be retained.

Are you spending more, less or thesame amount on Christmas this year?

That’s the question The Record askedUptown New West shoppers on a recentweekday morning.

Renice Edmison, a New Westminstermother of three, said she was going tospend about the same as the previous year.Kathy Roening, a Port Coquitlam resident,who was on her way to the Save-On-Foods at Westminster Centre where herson works, also said she planned to stay atabout the same amount, though she notedthat the sluggish economy has impactedher spending overall.

The mother of two said her family haspulled back on how much they go out toeat.

She also has another trick for avoidingoverspending during the holidays – sheshops all year round. That way she cantake advantage of sales throughout theyear.

“I’m certainly not going to pay topdollar for something that will go on sale,”Roening said.

Another trick, Roening sets out a bud-get of what she will spend per child.

“It’s easy to get caught up in Christmasspending,” she said.

Having a set amount means holdingfirm to that figure and determining whatone can buy within that amount.

But two other shoppers – who did notwant to give their names – were candidabout the challenge of budgeting for, andeven affording, the holidays.

“I’m poor,” one of the women said,laughing.

But then she became serious and said,“It’s tough for me; my daughter is seven,and she’s got a huge list.”

She noted the rising cost of food, andthe cost of her daughter’s many lessonsand activities.

“It’s really expensive,” she said.“Everything is going up. … I work every-day, and I don’t make it.”

Her friend agreed but said her wayaround spending top dollar is to go southto shop in the U.S. where many items cost

less.“I buy everything in the States,” the

woman said.To avoid loading up on debt this

season, Julie Jaggernath, with the NewWestminster-based Credit CounsellingSociety, suggests starting with a spendingplan.

“If you are going to use credit, pick onecredit card, and pick one that has a lowinterest on the balance owing and checkyour list before you go. Do you really needto buy for everybody?” she said. “There’slots of time to do some comparison shop-ping.”

Though the shopping days, and, at thispoint, hours, are slipping away on thisyear, anyway.

City wants moredetails on newplaza proposal

New Westminster city council wants more analysisabout the impacts of a plaza that’s proposed in front ofWestminster Centre.

The Uptown Property Group, which owns the mallat 555 Sixth St., has applied for a development permit toreconstruct the plaza in front of the mall. Its plan wouldinclude the elimination of three on-street parking spaceson Sixth Street.

Council has asked staff to request a report from thepolice department about the activity that’s been generatedin this area during the past two years. Council also wantsstaff to examine the realignment of parking meters andloading bays, safety considerations at the crosswalk andthe installation of outdoor seating areas and public artwith the property owners.

Coun. Betty McIntosh said some councillors wereconcerned about the loss of three parking spaces on SixthStreet, but she believes they could be replaced nearby.

“I have been talking to engineering for years – the cor-ner of Sixth and Sixth has too much space for bus stops,”she said. “That has been bothering me for years.”

While she believes the spaces could be reallocatedelsewhere nearby, McIntosh said pedestrian safety isparamount. The Sixth Street crossing at Belmont Streetincludes a sidewalk bulge, with a coffee shop located oneither side of the street.

“We wanted to make it pedestrian friendly years ago,”McIntosh said about the traffic calming initiative. “Nowpeople will walk out anywhere. I think it needs a verythorough look.”

Coun. Bill Harper said part of the property owner’smotivation for remodelling the site was to address con-cerns about certain people who loiter outside the mall. Ifthe Uptown Property Group wants to create a plaza, he

It’s hard to talk of holiday joy whenthe world of late has been filled with somuch frightening news: a mass shoot-ing in Connecticut, ongoing conflicts inSyria, the economic woes of most of theglobe, to name but a few.

And yet, it’s human natureto seek the positive amongstthe bad, to find and celebratethe small flames of good-ness in a confusing and chaotic world– especially at Christmas. Over the lastseveral issues, we’ve tried to highlightjust a few of the good people, organiza-

tions and events that happen in this citybecause we, like many, feel it’s not just“nice” but actually vital to a communityto see and hear about the good happen-ing in it.

Still, the realists among uswould say that it isn’t helpfulto ignore the woes of thosearound us in an effort to cap-ture some fleeting sense of

holiday goodness. And they’re right.With that in mind, we propose a

middle ground on this day, the eve ofChristmas: to relish the everyday good,

to marvel in the holiday spirit as itappears in our city in simple small waysand, with the wider world in mind, tocontemplate our own roles and respon-sibilities in the world.

What does that mean in a practicalsense? It means that we hope you enjoyevery moment of the holiday season,from opening gifts (if that is part of yourtradition) to visiting friends and family,or simply taking a walk in the cold nightair to check out the sparkling lights onyour neighbours’ homes.

But we’d also encourage you to get

and stay involved: to know what’s hap-pening in the news here, and furtherafield, to question what our role asCanadians should be in the larger world,to ask ourselves what we can give tothe people around us that helps fan theflames of holiday joy all through theyear. It’s the small simple acts, whenmultiplied, that change the world – andthat remind us that there is, indeed,much to celebrate, even in a world seem-ingly filled with darkness.

From our “news” family to yours: allthe best this week and beyond.

Battle brewing forB.C. school boards

Another big fight is brew-ing in the education sys-tem, but unlike the last

dustups, this one doesn’t involvethe B.C. Teachers’ Federationgoing to war with the provincialgovernment.

The government is a party inthis fight as well, but this time itwill be school boards facing offagainst the B.C. Liberals.

Many school districts havebeen saying for years that thesystem is underfunded, evenwhen funding increases andenrolment drops.

It’s been death by a thousandcost increases – everything fromrising MSP premiums, inflation,employee benefits, heating costetc. – that have left school boardsscrambling to table balancedbudgets every year.

But this year a new wrinklehas been added to the mix, andit’s potentially a very expensiveone.

Education Minister DonMcRae has written to schoolboard chairs, telling them theymust file a “savings plan” withhim that will show how costsarising from anticipated wageincreases for unionized supportstaff will be paid for under exist-

ing funding arrangements.McRae has informed them

the so-called “cooperative gains”mandate governing all govern-ment contract talks (which dic-tates that wage increases can begiven only if enough internalsavings are made to ensure thewage hikes don’t inflate the bot-tom line) will apply to upcomingnegotiations with support staffunions (primarily CUPE locals).

The move has outragedschool trustees.

B.C. School TrusteesAssociation president MichaelMcEvoy fired off an angryresponse to McRae, telling himmost school boards are alreadyfacing deficits and that there areno operational savings in thesystem. In fact, any belt-tighten-ing that occurs will be done sim-ply to meet existing cost pres-sures, let alone wage increases.

Any further “savings” on topof the existing fiscal problemswill inevitably hurt services forstudents, McEvoy argues.

McRae has informed theboards he wants them to find“savings” equivalent to a 1.5per cent wage increase for theirsupport staff employees. Thefinancial impact of that variesfrom district to district, but theVancouver school board esti-mates a two-year contract underthose terms would cost the dis-trict almost $5 million, while theVictoria board pegs its costs tobe $1.5 million over two years.

To put those numbers in con-text, the Vancouver board

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

More trouble at the boardDear Editor:

I recently read that once again, as it has been yearafter year after year, two labour-endorsed trusteeswill occupy the positions of chair and vice-chair onthe New Westminster School Board.

On the one hand, this is not surprising becausethe labour-endorsed school trustees have long car-ried the mantle of power at the decision-makingtable; they set the meeting agendas and as a “major-ity body”, they have the ability to endorse or rejectany proposed action.

On the other hand, it is surprising; in consider-ation of the school district’s $2.2 million dollar defi-cit crisis (I believe it is the third one in a decade), onewould think it prudent to take a different approachto leadership.

Surprising or not (or perhaps both simultane-

ously), that trustees Michael Ewen and JoninaCampbell have the support of their campaign run-ning mates (David Phelan and James Janzen) per-fectly illustrates two things: (1) it underscores thepower of the majority, and (2) it demonstrates theirreluctance to share that power. While disappointing,this is consistent with the apparent lack of collegial-ity that exists among our elected trustees.

With two teacher-trustees at the helm of theschool board for the coming year, the potential forboth of them to be in a conflict-of-interest situationis a very real possibility and that is no small matter(just ask the mayor of Toronto who was removedfrom office by the courts for conflict-of-interestreasons).

Locally, it is both concerning and short-sightedfor trustees Ewen and Campbell to dismiss andcriticize the issue of conflict-of-interest but I am not

surprised by their comments; it must beuncomfortable for them to be smack in themiddle of the conflict question.

Still, burying the fact now will onlyoffer a temporary reprieve from futureproblems; today’s conflict-of-interest“annoyance” will be tomorrow’s district“headache”. Remember, we’ve seen thisbefore with the high school replacementand cemetery problems.

The one thing that is a certainty is thatpolitical double-speak and denial will onlyhurt, not help the problem-riddled NewWestminster School District. Maybe in thecoming years, the board of trustees, as awhole, will demonstrate better sense andlearn to share the power base of chair andvice-chair.

“We are all responsible”Dear Editor:

Mr. Oppal got two things right. Wemust put an end to endemic poverty, andwe are all responsible.

Ending poverty among indigenous peo-ples is easy enough: end two centuries ofinjustice: accept aboriginal title and rights.Using their own resources on their ownterms, indigenous nations can generate an

economic base in their homelands. Createjobs, ease poverty at home, and womendon’t have to hitchhike; look for workin the city, in spite of racism; risk the sextrade.

Using their own resources, nativenations can ease the inter-generationaldamage done by residential schools; by200 years of enforced poverty and power-lessness: the abuse of lawless occupyingforces.

Aboriginal title and rights are enshrinedin British colonial law, in our Constitution,and in international law. Yet from its rob-ber baron beginnings, B.C. refused to rec-ognize land and resource rights: took everyresource, all lands, without compensation,as our own laws demand. We have beenillegally forcing poverty on the indigenouspeoples – and we still are.

The treaties we offer – unilaterally– reduce sovereign nations with legaland moral right to all their territories, tomunicipalities under the control of non-native governments. So talks have stalled;and native nations “owe” the TreatyCommission hundreds of millions of dol-lars – to give away 95 per cent of their ter-ritories; to see remaining communal landsbecome fee simple, available for sale.

We are committing cultural and humangenocide. We are all responsible. Our gov-ernments carry out these atrocities.

Politics: Problems brewing with moneyestimates its funding short-fall is already between $15million to $25 million.

That shortfall includessuch items as $4.2 millionfor salary and benefitsincreases, $3.5 million foran increase in pension planpayments for teachers andmore than $7 million inpotential “holdback funds”for next year.

While school boardsroutinely scream aboutunderfunding every yearand yet still seem to mir-aculously balance theirbudget nevertheless, theadditional task of havingto find money for wageincreases may be thebreaking point for a num-ber of them.

Evidence of how ser-ious a problem this newdemand poses for trusteesis the fact that the chair ofthe employers’ bargain-ing group has also writtento the education minister,telling him it is impossiblefor boards to meet his callto find new savings.

Melanie Joy, chair of

the B.C. Public SchoolEmployers’ Association, isalso the chair of her schooldistrict in the Kootenays.She has warned McRaethat her district alreadyfaces a shortfallof $1.1 mil-lion and thata CUPE wageincrease wouldcost a further$300,000, lead-ing to cuts toeducation pro-gramming.

This fester-ing problemmay not beconfined to theeducation sys-tem. In fact, allparts of the larger publicsector may be affected byhow the cooperative gainsconcept plays out.

Nurses, health workersand university employeeshave all received wageincreases without newfunding being added totheir budgets. We haveyet to see any details ofhow those wage hikes willbe covered without any

reduction in services inthose sectors.

If the impact is bothsubstantive and negative –taking the form of layoffs,program and service cuts

for example– it may fur-ther cloud thealready dim re-election chan-ces of the B.C.Liberals.

In the mean-time, get readyfor a loudand raucousscreamingmatch betweenthis province’s60 schoolboards, and

what could become onevery unpopular educationminister. McRae wantsthose savings plans on hisdesk by mid-January. Asit stands now, I’d be sur-prised if all boards comply.Open defiance seems to beon the horizon.

believes it should includeseating and public art.

“Some (council mem-bers) were concernedabout giving up the park-ing spaces. To me it ismore about the plaza andthe public benefits it givesthe city,” he said. “Havingpublic squares is an impor-tant component for the city.As far as I am concerned,the more the merrier.”

Coun. Jaimie McEvoysaid he appreciates thespirit of what the UptownProperty Group is try-ing to achieve but thinkssome details need to befine-tuned. He noted thatsome people have voicedconcerns about issues suchas people smoking at thefront entrance to the mall.

While he’s open to con-sidering plans for a plazain front of WestminsterCentre, McEvoy isn’t keenabout giving up parkingspaces.

A staff report to councilstates that the proposedrenovation would be con-sistent with several objec-tives in the city’s officialcommunity plan, includ-ing an expanded publicrealm that would be usefulfor events such as UptownLive and improvement ofcrime prevention throughenvironmental design ele-ments.

The report stated thecity’s authority to issue thedevelopment permit hasbeen delegated to the city’sdirector of developmentservices. The developmentservices department isworking with engineeringand other departments onprocessing this applica-tion.

Lisa Spitale, the city’sdirector of developmentservices, said all develop-ment permits are consid-ered by city council beforea decision is made. Thecity’s design panel willalso be considered as partof the review process

“All the applicationsgo to council,” she said.“That is our routine here.Everything still goes to thedesign panel.”

Spitale said staff willconsider some of the con-cerns raised by council,including the loss of threeon-street parking spots andthe possibility of gainingon-street parking spaces inthe area. While there is arecognition that the citywants the “public realm”to be animated, she saidsafety needs to be assured.

The British Columbia Human RightsTribunal has dismissed a discrimina-tion complaint against the City of NewWestminster as it has “no reasonableprospect” of success.

Daniel Kombo filed a complaintagainst the city alleging discriminationin the provision of services on the basisof colour and country of origin, which iscontrary to the Human Rights Code. Thecity countered by asking that the case be

dismissed.According to a Nov. 5 report from the

Human Rights Tribunal, Kombo returnedto his car on Feb. 26, 2012, where heencountered a parking patrol officer.

He stated that the city employee toldhim “you black people, you don’t under-stand the law, this is Canada.”

The city stated that Kombo’s car wasparked at an expired parking meter, butthe parking patrol officer gave him theoption of inserting money into the meterand getting a warning.

The document states that the mandidn’t put money into the meter so theparking patrol officer proceeded to writea ticket.

The city stated that the man became

“verbally abusive” and the parking officerreported the incident to the police becauseshe felt threatened. While Kombo wasarrested for uttering threats, no chargeswere laid.

“The city denies Mr. Kombo’s colour orplace of origin were factors in the events,”stated the Nov. 5 report by B.C. HumanRights Tribunal.

The city filed an affidavit in which theparking patrol officer stated that whenshe tried to hand Kombo his ticket, hesaid, “I’ll get you.” When she replied, “Isthat a threat?” he responded, “yes.”

According to the Human RightTribunal, a witness confirmed the conver-sation, which led to his arrest.

In May 2012, Kombo filed a complaint

with the Police Complaint Commissioner,including allegations of racial discrimina-tion. The commissioner concluded therewas no misconduct under the Police Act.

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal reportstated that Kombo did not mention thealleged statements or comments by theparking patrol officer when police arrest-ed him. The city employee denied makingthe comments.

She said she issued the ticket becauseKombo’s car was parked at an expiredmeter and he declined her request to putmoney in the meter.

Bernd Walter, chair of the B.C. HumanRights Tribunal, dismissed the complaintsaying it has no reasonable prospect ofsuccess give the material presented.

Coal projectsparks concern

Health leaders are urging Port Metro Vancouver tothoroughly assess the risks of proposed coal facilities inthe region.

Port Metro Vancouver is currently reviewing two coalexport expansion projects, one of which would be locatedat Fraser Surrey Dock that’s located across the FraserRiver from New Westminster.

TheB.C.LungAssociation, thePublicHealthAssociationof B.C., the Canadian Association of Physicians for theEnvironment and numerous health leaders have writtento Port Metro Vancouver asking that it delay decisions ontwo coal export expansion proposals until the “cumula-tive health impacts” of increased coal train traffic throughMetro Vancouver communities can be properly evalu-ated.

Numerous physicians have also signed the letter, inwhich the health leaders point out that there are knownhealth risks from exposure to diesel exhaust and coal dust,and approval of the coal export plans would increase pub-lic exposure to both substances.

In addition to the Surrey Fraser Docks proposal, PortMetro Vancouver is also considering a coal handlingexpansion project on the North Shore.

According to the health officials, if the port authorityapproves the plans and allows the facilities to be builtto capacity, it would result in a minimum of three morereturn trips (six one-way trips) by local trains throughMetro Vancouver daily. They state that this would be inaddition to the six or more return coal train trips that cur-rently pass through the region each day.

“If the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority truly aspiresto be a good neighbour to Metro Vancouver communities,it should start by acknowledging that these coal exportproposals have the potential to generate cumulativehealth impacts in areas outside their jurisdiction,” saidKevin Washbrook, director with Voters Taking Action onClimate Change. “The port authority should put thesedecisions on hold and work with regional communitiesand health authorities to assess the impacts and deter-mine if these development proposals are in everyone’sbest interest.”

The health officials have forwarded the open letterto the port authority, Metro Vancouver and numerousmunicipalities and First Nations in the region.

New Westminster city council is writing a letter to PortMetro Vancouver opposing the installation of a coal portat the Fraser Surrey Docks until a comprehensive envi-ronmental review and full public consultation has beenconducted. It has also asked that Port Metro Vancouverbe requested to make a presentation to city council aboutthe proposal.

Port Metro Vancouver is currently a reviewing anapplication from Fraser Surrey Docks to develop partof its riverfront site to accommodate coal that will bebrought by train from the United States.

The coal would then be put on barges and towed toTexada Island, where it would be stored before being sentabroad on freighters.

For many people thedays and weeksaround Christmas

are prime time for family,friends, special occasionsand festive gatherings.

It is a period whenitems from past holidayseasons – Christmas, NewYears, and the other mid-winter social times – are

brought out, displayed,and talked about, some-times with more than alittle embellishment.

Our own collection ofChristmas-related thingsincludes cards fromdecades past, cardboardornaments, vintage booksof Dickens and others,and even a strand or twoof old series tree lights– remember them? Onegoes out, they all go out!.

Other items are morepersonal and relate totimes and places in ourown family histories.

There is a 1947 photoof a small boy on Santa’sknee at either Kresge’s or

Woolworth’s on ColumbiaStreet, and we even havethe suit of clothes he iswearing in the photo-graph.

There is a rubber inflat-able Santa that still standsquite proudly, though hehas been around for 65years.

How long will we beable to blow him up?Don’t know, but eachyear we handle him morecarefully – will this be theyear he stays flat?

A small Santa of che-nille with bells on the feet,and a clay-like, paintedface, has a well-wornstring to hang him up on

the tree or elsewhere.This is an interesting

piece we know to be atleast 65 years old, butthere are stories that makehim much older and pos-sibly of ‘folk art’ origin.

There is a ‘MerryChristmas’ sign – thetypical form with lettersstrung together, about sixfeet long, like a garland tobe put on a wall, a tree, orover a mantel.

No other decorationswere available in town in1945, so it was handmadefrom cardboard, cut intoletters, covered with foilscrounged from cigars,cigarettes, or any other

source, and is still servingits holiday role mountedon a living room wall.

There are other depres-sion-era decorations fromthat period when therewere few choices of decor-ations to make a simpletree a bit more festive.

These clear glass ballswith coloured bands ofred, blue, yellow or green,were proudly displayedalong with paper chains,wooden beads, colouredcardboard shapes, andembossed heavy papercut-outs of Santas, angels,and a myriad of otherpossible shapes.

These and other pieces

all come with memories.They come with stor-

ies of how they wereacquired, where they wereused, how often they havebeen shown and on.

They are wonderfully,delightfully and irrevoc-ably tied to the season.

They are always there– an integral part of thefestive season and prep-aration for a New Year.

How ever you cele-brate this winter seasonof festivities, cherish yourmemories – old or new;they will serve you andyour family well.

We wish you all a veryMerry Christmas.

OUR PASTARCHIE & DALE MILLER

A longtime NewWestminster restaurant willhave to stick to its currenthours of service.

Stefanos Restaurant hadsought the city’s support toextend its hours of liquorservice to 2 a.m., sevendays a week. The restaurantis currently able to serveliquor until midnight.

Stefanos, which has beenopen at 315 Columbia St.since 1994, sought extend-ed liquor service hours toaccommodate patrons whoprefer to dine later at night.

According to a staffreport, the city received 31pieces of correspondencefrom people opposing theapplication (including 24from nearby residents) andone letter of support. Thereport stated that the park-

ing lot and entrance at therear of the restaurant facesmultiple residential build-ings, so an extension of therestaurant’s hours of opera-tion would exacerbate cur-rent noise impacts on localresidents.

New Westminster citycouncil didn’t support therestaurant’s application toextend its hours of liquorservice until 2 a.m. Staff hadrecommended that councildeny the request.

“We have tried to shiftthe downtown, rather thanbe an entertainment area, tobe a family friendly area,”said Coun. Bill Harper.“They are a restaurant.”

While he has no issueswith Stefanos, Coun. ChuckPuchmayr said he doesn’tbelieve a 2 a.m. closing timeis conducive to what thecity’s aiming to achieve inthe neighbourhood.

Merry Christmas – past, present and future

Grit proves popularThe recent launch of a book

celebrating some fine womenfrom New Westminster’s historyattracted quite a crowd.

More than 200 people attend-ed the Dec. 6 launch of thenew book, Grace Grit and Gusto:Profiles of Remarkable Royal CityWomen.

The book release was held tocoincide with the National Dayof Remembrance and Action onViolence Against Women. Allproceeds from the sale of thebook go to Monarch Place, atransition house for women andchildren fleeing violence.

Lorraine Brett, who is help-ing to publicize the book, noted

that former MLA Anita Hagenspoke at the book launch. Inaddition to being profiled in thebook, she was a key fundraiserfor Monarch Place.

“The most dramatic momentcame when Hagen recounted astory of Dorothy Beach, a 99-year-old environmentalist alsoprofiled in the book, and to thesurprise of all assembled thediminutive Beach chose thatmoment to arrive, front andcenter,” Brett wrote in an emailto The Record. “Dorothy receiveda round of applause and after-ward a family friend noted thatthis opportunity to reconnectand ‘relive her journey’ wasfor Dorothy and her family just‘priceless’.”

The book is $20 and avail-able at the Arts Council of NewWestminster, Greens and BeansDeli, the Queen’s Park HealthCare Centre Gift Shop (315McBride Blvd.) and online atwww.vivalogue.com.

Xmas filmsEverybody has one

– sometimes more thanone. What’s your favouriteChristmas movie?

At the top of many listsyou’ll find It’s a WonderfulLife. George Bailey andthe angel Clarence havecaptivated audiences formore than 60 years in whatis often called one of themost inspirational moviesever made. Another peren-nial favourite is Miracle on34th Street, where six-year-old Susan finds that therereally is a Santa, and sodo we.

Perhaps your favouriteis Charles Dickens’ TheChristmas Carol, in whichScrooge is visited by theghosts of Christmas past,present and future. It’sbeen filmed many timesand in many ways. Somepeople think the bestversion is the original,in black and white, withAlastair Sim, but GeorgeC. Scott’s portrayal ofScrooge is also excellent.Movie makers didn’t stopthere with interpreting thisclassic story. Bill Murrayplays a more contempo-rary Scrooge in Scrooged.And for even more fun,there’s a Muppet ChristmasCarol and an entertaining

Christmas Carol musicalversion starring KelseyGrammer.

Christmas wouldn’t beChristmas without Howthe Grinch Stole Christmas.And don’t forget JimmyDurante’s Frosty theSnowman and Burl Ives’classic retelling and sing-ing of Rudolph the Red NoseReindeer. Who doesn’tlove the Charlie BrownChristmas, his little firtree, and that great rendi-tion of Hark! The HeraldAngels Sing!? If you wantmore Christmas music inyour movies, you can’t gowrong with Bing Crosbyand friends in Holiday Innand White Christmas.

For something alittle different, there’s AChristmas Story wherenine-year-old Ralphie,growing up in the 1940s,tries to convince everyone,including Santa, that a RedRider BB gun is the perfectgift for him. The originaland visually delightfulNightmare Before Christmasblends two favourite holi-days.

If you’re looking forsomething more serious,try Joyeux Noel, based ona true story about a FirstWorld War Christmastruce.

So, put up your feet andrelax. Happy viewing.

Thunder made ringette history in 2012The Lower Mainland Thunder

went from an expansion NationalRingette League club to nationalchampions in April, making itthe The Record’s sports story ofthe year.

Run by the league after pri-vate ownership dried up theseason before, but bankrolled bythe players themselves, the sev-enth-ranked Thunder knocked offthe top four clubs in the country,including three from back east ina two-day span, to win the first-ever Canadian ringette title in anydivision for B.C.

The host Thunder handedEastern conference regular seasonchampion Montreal Mission justits third loss of the year, upsettingthe high-scoring Quebec club 7-2in the gold medal final at the BillCopeland Sports Centre.

First team all-star forward SallaKyhala was the tournament MVP,scoring four goals in the final tolead the Lower Mainland team toits history-making win.

“This is where I saw the teamgoing,” said Kyhala, who hadnine goals and two assists in herlast three games. “Our defencescored, other people scored – Isaw us as a team that we could dothis. I saw us going this way – wecan do this.”

Jennifer Wakefield joined tour-nament high-scorer Kyhala anddefender Melanie Thomas on theNRL tournament first team.

Wakefield, who enjoyed two ofher nine previous national ringettetitles with the Eastern runner-upCambridge Turbos, helped theThunder defeat her former club

6-2 in a must-winmatchup leadingup to the final.

“It is so special,”added Wakefieldof the team’s trueamateur commit-ment to the game.“(The women) areso deserving. I’m so proud tobe a part of this team – we loveringette and would do anythingto play.”

But perhapsa more perfectending wasorchestrated byBurnaby’s JuliaScigliano, thelongest-servingplayer on theLower Mainland

team.Scigliano keyed the Thunder

victory in the championship finalwith the game-opening goal from

a shot in front that beat Montrealkeeper Claudia Jetté high to theglove side at 4:23 of the first peri-od.

“Everything is so unbelievableright now. I’m the only playerfrom Burnaby. It’s so special to allof us. Seeing everyone’s faces –everyone up there (in the stands)is so excited – everyone I grew upwith in Burnaby was watching. Toscore that first goal, I will neverforget that.”

Veteran leadership: Julia Scigliano, in black, has been part of all three elite women’s Lower Mainlandringette teams. But none were closer to her heart than the 2012 version.
