B.C.’s education minister can’t say whenexactly funding for the NewWestminsterSecondary School replacement project willbe approved, but it is the number 1 priorityfor the ministry.

Education Minister Mike Bernier spoke

with the Record Monday.Bernier responded to a letter sent by

trustee Jonina Campbell on behalf of theschool board in February. In his response,Bernier reaffirms the ministry’s support ofthe project getting final approval and sayshe “is hopeful this can occur within thecoming weeks.”

When asked to provide a specific time-

line, Bernier said he could not.“I’m not deliberately being vague when

I say the ‘coming weeks.’ It’s just it’s now atthe final decision point, … which is out ofmy control. So that’s why I can’t be morespecific,” he told the Record.

Because of the complex nature of the proj-ect, it’s quickly become the largest investmentin education the province has ever made, Ber-

nier said, adding the new high school will like-ly cost more than $100 million to build.

“I think what a lot of people hopefullywill realize is that this is going to be basical-ly the largest school in the province. It’s alsothe largest investment the government hasever made in education for a single project,”Bernier said.

The city’s decision toretain and operate Mas-seyTheatre is music to theears of members of the lo-cal arts community.

It’s long been contem-plated that the school dis-trict would build a new1,000-seat theatre in thenew high school and de-molish MasseyTheatre. In-stead of contributing $10.7million towards a theatre inthe new school, the city hasreached an agreement inprinciple with the provinceand the school district thatwould see it assume own-ership of the existing Mas-

seyTheatre.Stephen Crosby, chair of

Royal City MusicalTheatreSociety’s board of direc-tors, said there’s somethingspecial about the MasseyTheatre, which celebrat-ed its 65th anniversary lastyear.

“To be able to retain thatspecial and unique settingwithin NewWestminsterand to pass it on to futuregenerations, there is some-thing very special aboutthat,” he said. “I am hop-ing, with this announce-ment, we will be able tocelebrate its 100-year anni-versary one day.”

Key points of the agree-ment in principle, an-

nounced April 4, include:!The existing 1,260-

seat MasseyTheatre andthe land under the buildingwill be gifted to the city bythe school district.!The B.C. Ministry of

Education will finance thedemolition of the exist-ing gymnasium and recon-struction of the theatre’sexterior wall.!The province will

work with the city to iden-tify funding sources for fu-ture seismic upgrades tothe theatre.

Puffers forpups–andcats too

Cats and dogs who suffersmoke inhalation in a fire willnow be treated with oxygenmasks specifically designedfor their wee snouts.

The NewWestminster firedepartment is currently out-fitting each of its vehicleswith oxygen masks specifical-ly designed for animals.Thekits include three differentsize masks suitable for dogsand cats of all sizes.

“We just thought it wastime. More and more, peo-ple seem to love their pets asmuch as they love their chil-

dren.They become part ofthe family,” fire chiefTimArmstrong told the Record.

Before buying the ani-mal-specific masks, firefight-ers would administer oxygento rescued pets using hu-man masks.While somewhateffective, the masks didn’tquite fit the four-legged com-panions.

“We have the normalmasks that we’d use with thehumans but they’re not nec-essarily formed to the snout,so we ad-libbed or made do.It wasn’t a real big invest-ment to go the extra (mile),”Armstrong said.

NewWest residents arebeing given a chance toweigh in on proposed payhikes for members of citycouncil.

Using the “regressionanalysis” process that’sbeen in place since 2006,staff has recommended themayor’s current annual in-demnity of $98,868 be in-creased by 3.2 per centto $102,017.This wage,which would include atwo per cent inflation rate,would be retroactive toJanuary 2016.

Councillors’ stipendswould increase from$38,154 to $41,533, whichis an 8.9 per cent increase.In addition to their reg-

ular stipend, councilloralso receive $1,000 for themonths they serve as act-ing mayor.

A staff report comparesNewWestminster may-or stipend to other cit-ies in MetroVancouver,with mayors in in Burna-by, Delta, LangleyTown-ship, Coquitlam, MapleRidge, NorthVancouverand NorthVancouver Dis-trict earning more, andmayors in Port Coquit-lam,WestVancouver, PortMoody andWhite Rockearning less. Councillorsin Burnaby, Delta, LangleyTownship, Coquitlam, Ma-ple Ridge and NorthVan-couver District earn morethan NewWest councillors,based on 2015/26 figures.

NewWestminster reviews

the council remunerationpolicy every four years.Aspart of that review, commu-nity members are invited tocomment on the proposedremuneration at the May 2council meeting.

In addition to the pay in-creases, staff has also rec-ommended council mem-bers’ expense allowancebe increased from $3,000to $5,000 annually, to“more realistically” fundtheir expenses.The coun-cil expense policy providesmayor and council withpayment for expenses in-curred while engaging incity businesses.

MasseyTheatre couldhave been history if the citydidn’t agree to own and op-erate the 66-year-old facility.

Coun. Bill Harper saidthe province had previouslyrequired the existing theatreto be demolished and a newtheatre to be built in thenew school, but there wasa change of plans and theprovince asked the city if itwould be interested in own-

ing the theatre.“It’s been my personal

opinion from the very be-ginning that it’s always beenput on our lap.We didn’town it, we didn’t run it, wedidn’t have anything to dowith it.The ministry said,‘we are going to demol-ish it.’That’s when we en-tered into discussions aboutthe framework agreement,”Harper said. “If we just said,‘Forget about it; it’s notours,’ the thing would begone. If it gets torn down

it’s a loss to the city.”On Monday, the city an-

nounced it had developedan agreement in principlewith the school district andthe B.C. Ministry of Educa-tion that would see the cityassuming ownership of thetheatre.

Having already commit-ted $10 million to the newtheatre, Harper said the citycan put that money into theexisting facility over time tomake seismic and other up-grades.

“They told us it wouldfall down in an earthquake.It had a really high level,”he noted. “They completelychanged their view of that.”

Improvements to bemade include accessibilityfeatures (including a new el-evator and lift), new heat-ing system and emergencylighting, refurbishment ofthe lobby and washrooms,interior painting and remov-al of asbestos and materialscontaining lead.

and the region, so the cityis excited about a plan toretain the theatre.

”The board appreciatesthat there are many de-mands on education fund-ing and resources, so ourfocus must remain onbuilding and operating abrand new, modern highschool,” Jonina Campbell,school board chair, said ina press release. “Through-out this process, the schoolboard and the City of NewWestminster have been un-failing in our commitmentto this challenging project,and we are excited that, byworking together, we wereable to develop an optionthat we believe is a win-win.”

The city hired consult-ants to assess the facili-ty’s structural, mechanical,building envelope, electri-cal, hazardous materials,fire protection and coderequirements and con-struction costs.The cityhas budgeted $9.5 millionfor the renovation and theprovince will kick in $1.19million for demolition andreconstruction of a new ex-

terior wall near the existinggymnasium.

The decision comes asgood news to many folksin the theatre community,who packed council cham-bers in 2009 to ask the cityto save MasseyTheatre.

“To me, the Massey is aplace where people in ourcity can come together toappreciate arts and cul-ture. It is also a place formentorship and commu-nity building. I remem-ber my dance teacher, Do-lores Kirkwood, telling the

story of how she held bakesales to help fundraise tobuy the red velvet curtainsthat open a show,” saidSadie DeCoste, who firstperformed on the Masseystage when she was eightand worked part-time atthe theatre as an usher. “Iwas delighted to hear thatthis cultural gem will be re-stored after so many yearsof uncertainty.”

Crosby said there was amixture of relief and ex-citement as word of thecity’s decision spread

through the Royal CityMusicalTheatre commu-nity.

“The action plan pro-vides a level of certainty,which we haven’t had inrecent years when we havebeen looking at our long-term plans,” he said. “Italso really showcases thatthe City of NewWestmin-ster really has a commit-ment to the performingarts and all the outstand-ing performances that theMassey attracts year afteryear.”

Gasp!Could itbetrue–anewschool?Could it be true?Forgive us if we have be-

come a tad cynical over thewhole replacement highschool thing.

We’ve seen these pledgesbefore and then watched indisbelief as the years wentby. However, Minister ofEducation Mike Bernier,(as reported on page one oftoday’s paper) does say thereplacement high schoolis the top priority in B.C.,and he does say an an-

nouncement will be madein a matter of weeks.

And he does say it willcost in the $100-millionrange, which leads one tobelieve someone has ac-tually briefed him on theproject.

Now, what he doesn’t sayis how long it will take toget the whole thing rollingand how it will be imple-mented.The devil, as theexpression goes, is in thedetails.

But we don’t think it’sa coincidence that the cityhas stepped in at this timeto take over MasseyThe-atre and guarantee that itwill survive any redevel-opment on the site. And,we’re comforted by thatdecision.

We’re also glad the par-ents fighting for a newschool haven’t cancelledtheir rally for Sunday. And,we’re glad a petition call-ing for a new school is cir-

culating.The fact that the petition

is being launched and or-ganized by the city’s NDPMLA is a bit unfortunate.Because no matter howmuch MLA Judy Darcy’spetition has been triggered

by grassroot parents in thecity, it will still be tainted asa political petition. Rightlyor wrongly.

We also hope Bernierhasn’t thrown parents a bitof hope just to tamp downon their anger and frustra-

tion and dilute the rally.But, we think that’s prob-ably not the case. After all,the province hasn’t up tothis point displayed anyconcern about how upsetNewWestminster parentsare regarding the school.

Again, we’ve been hadon this before, but this timecould be the real deal.

‘Godzilla’ risesovertheFraser

I attended the Quaysideannual general meeting onJan. 27. NewWestminsterengineering gave a presen-tation on the proposed pe-destrian bridge crossing ofthe Fraser (Q2Q).While Ihave generally appreciat-ed the competent work ofthe NewWestminster plan-ning department, this cur-rent proposal has shaken myconfidence.The tenor of thepresentation seemed to sug-gest it was a done deal withno alternative.

The addition of the pro-posed elevator structure isfar, far too visually intrusive.At night the lighting on theelevator tower will add evenmore visual pollution.Thedrawings presented by engi-neering show a massive 15-to 20-metre elevator towersurrounded by three-metrewalkways.

The drawings includ-ed people.The people weredwarfed by the massivenessof the tower structure.Thisreinforces the perceptionthat we are contemplatingbuilding a structure that willbe an eyesore for everyonein perpetuity.

Even if most of the struc-ture is built out of glass, thewalkways, the cables andsupport beams certainly willnot be.

Whether one sees theneed or not for a pedestri-an bridge, the proposal hasmorphed into a Godzil-la monster rising out of theFraser.

The original proposedtermination on the oth-er side of the train bridge,where there is more room,

was seen by many as accept-able with its gradually slop-ing walkway.The report toNewWest council of Feb. 2by Jim Lowrie, director ofengineering services, saidthat the idea of a bridge highenough to allow river trafficunderneath was not feasiblefor cost reasons and it wouldbe “physically and visuallyintrusive on the surroundingneighborhoods.” So a low-level bridge was proposed.Now suddenly we have theproposal of a gargantuan el-evator tower.

I realize the original lo-cation was nixed by marine“stakeholders.”That theywere not consulted earlierwas a major oversight.

While I am not direct-ly affected by the proposedlocation, this part of a walkalong the Quay will definite-ly suffer a severe blow. Andif anyone takes affront to thenotion that one should notbe so reactive to a 15-me-tre-plus elevator toweralong with an accompany-ing wraparound stair, oneshould try to imagine such astructure being put in yourfront yard. It is doubtfulsuch an imaginary journeywould be a pleasant one.

Considering how long thisidea has been in the works,it is understandable whysome may be so wedded tothis project. However, not atany cost!

This project has becomea caricature of the origi-nal idea of a visually unob-trusive connection betweenNewWest and Port Royal.Dr.C.S.Wilson is a New

Westminster resident.

Two would-be robbers fled empty handed in Januaryafter a video store clerk threatened them with a fire ex-tinguisher.The men entered the 12th Street store, andone brandished a knife and demanded money.

When the clerk grabbed a fire extinguisher to defendhimself, the two fled. An 18-year-old man of no fixedaddress was later arrested in connection with the rob-bery attempt.

WillTrudeau standup to multinationals?Dear Editor It is hard tobelieve that povertyand inequality could come to suchuncon-scionable levels in a rich country like Canada.It tells uswho is running the showormakingthedecisions for our future and it’s notwe,thepeople. It’s the corporate elite, otherwiseuniversally knownas theoneper cent, using,amongother things, the so-called free tradeagreements andglobalization as the conduit.More andmore, themultinationals are

overriding thedemocratic process, so thatthe electionof government to represent thewill of thepeople is becoming amockery. Theautonomyor sovereignty of countries is beingunderminedby thenewworld order of neo-liberal dog-eat-dog freemarket ideology. Thelatest are CETA, TiSA andTPP.Howour newLiberal Governmentwill stack

up in openly discussing thiswith thepeopleof Canada is not yet known. Will our PrimeMinister Justin Trudeau live up tohis commit-ment toCanadians to represent all thepeople,themiddle class andworking class, orwill hecrumble under theweight of theowners of ourcapitalist system, themultinational corpora-tions, financial institutionswith their uncon-scionable greedand that of their handmaid-ens, the racketeers onWall Street andBayStreet?

Bernier applauded theNewWest school district forits work on the project, add-ing that as much as it’s outof his hands now, it’s alsoout of their hands as well.

“They’ve done their work,and I have signed off on it.It is the number 1 priori-ty right now in the Ministryof Education’s office rightnow, as far as the next capi-tal project to go forward,”he said. “Now it’s at the fi-nal stage of approval.”

The government is nowgoing over the project witha fine tooth comb to makesure it’s the best option forthe district and the businesscase is sound. Bernier saidthe government needs to becautious, especially when

spending taxpayers’ mon-ey on a project of this mag-nitude.

“It’s really just the laststep.We always go throughall these steps to make surewe’ve looked at every op-tion. Is this the best option?Is the business case sound?So there’s all these differ-ent steps to go through to

ensure that we’re spendingtaxpayers’ money proper-ly.This one here, obviously,jumps right to the top,” headded.

Bernier was hopeful hecould make the announce-ment sooner rather than lat-er and finally give the staffand students a school theycan be proud of.

“The number 1 thingout there is to have a good

school out there for the stu-dents to learn in, and onethey can be proud of,” hesaid, adding he was im-pressed to hear parents wereplanning a rally on the issuethis weekend, demonstrat-ing their passion to theirchildren.

The crimes happened be-tween 5:30 and 6 p.m. onMarch 17.

In the first incident, thesuspect approached a wom-an at a bus stop on How-es Street near Ewen Avenueand allegedly pulled downher pants. About 30 minuteslater, he approached anoth-er woman who was sitting inher car.This time, he pulleddown his own pants and ex-

posed himself to the womanbefore she drove away.

Investigators with theNewWest police depart-ment’s major crime unitcanvassed the area follow-ing the incident and wereable to identify the suspectas Kyle Boyco.The 26-year-old was already in custo-dy for an unrelated matterwhen Crown counsel ap-proved charges, acting Sgt.Jeff Scott told the Record.

“Because of the excep-tional investigation by ourmajor crime unit and the as-sistance of the public, wewere able to identify and ar-rest Boyco,” Scott said in a

release. “These types of in-vestigations can be quitecomplicated, but as a de-partment we strive to pro-vide timely resolutions toensure public safety.”

Boyco is charged withsexual assault, assault andan indecent act. He remainsin custody at this time.

the Record. About 30 fire-fighters were dispatched tothe restaurant.

The fire was coming frominside the roof, so crewswent to work to knock itdown, which was no easyfeat, Hatch said. Firefight-ers inside the building hadto use a 24-foot ladder toreach the ceiling and fromthere, they had to removethe interior wood finishingsfrom the affected walls andceilings.

Outside, crews had to tearapart part of the roof to getat the fire, he added.

It took crews about three-and-a-half hours to squelchthe fire.

“We’re very lucky be-cause our whole building ismade out of wood.We areextremely, extremely ecstat-ically thankful to the NewWestminster Fire Depart-ment.They did an amazingjob at just containing it inthat one area,” Basran said.

It’s still unknown whenthe back half of the buildingwill be able to reopen.

“We’re still waiting tohear from the restoration

companies, and we’re stilltrying to nail a solid date onthat one.The back half isgoing to be a little bit lon-ger,” he said.

The kitchen was com-pletely untouched by thefire, but the floors weredamaged by water and willneed some fixing. Basranhas already spoken withFraser Health to find outexactly what needs to bedone before the doors open.

While the cause of theblaze is still under investi-gation, the fire departmenthas said it had to do with anelectrical system problem.Basran confirmed this, add-ing the system will be re-paired prior to reopening.

Art lovers, be sure to popin to the NewWestminsterPublic Library for the nextexhibition in its art series.

For the month of April,the library will feature pen-and-ink drawings by Elea-nor Rosenberg.

Rosenberg, who’s billedas “an illustrator by night

and a branding strategistby day,” has work appear-ing regularly in theGlobeand Mail and in children’sbooks.

“Every day we forgetthe small moments sand-wiched between life’s priori-ties. Upon further examina-tion, I believe that many ofthese discarded snippets areladen with emotional, spiri-tual and intellectual impor-tance,” Rosenberg says in anartist’s statement. “Though

my pen and ink drawingsare whimsical and stylistic, Iaim to embrace the signif-icance of these small mo-ments and grant them theceremony and reverence of-ten reserved for the tradi-tionally acclaimed.”

QUESTION:“Is the left turn ad-

vance fromSixth Streetonto southboundMc-Bride ever in operation?Andwhynot?Makesmewant to tossmy recycla-bles in a ditch.”–Matt Lorenzi (via

Twitter)

ANSWER:I asked Lisa Leblanc,

the City of NewWestmin-ster’s transportation man-ager.This is what she said.

“The left-turn phase ofthe Sixth/McBride signaldoes not come on for regu-lar vehicles; it can only beactivated by emergency ve-hicles.This is done deliber-ately to discourage peoplefrom using Sixth Avenue toaccess the Pattullo Bridge,because Sixth Avenue is in-

tended only as a collectorstreet for people movingwithin NewWestminster,and not as a commuterroute to/from the PattulloBridge.

“When people ask thisquestion, I normally referthem to our MasterTrans-portation Plan, which helpsto explain the many trans-portation challenges thatNewWestminster is fac-ing, and the strategies andpolicies that work towardaddressing them.We areworking with our region-al partners to improve someof the conditions, but ourprimary focus is on makingit easier to get around andthrough the city by takingtransit, walking and cycling,thereby freeing up roadspace for those who abso-lutely have to drive (peoplelike the author of theTwit-ter question, perhaps), and

for moving goods and ser-vices that keep our econo-my strong.”

ASKCITY HALL?

CityMLAopposedtoblood-for-pay [email protected]

The MLA for NewWest-minster says she’s “shocked”B.C.’s health minister wouldconsider allowing a pay-for-plasma clinic to operate inthe province.

In an op-ed last week,MinisterTerry Lake saidBritish Columbia alreadygets about 80 per cent ofits supply from the Unit-ed States, where donors arepaid for blood products.

“In fact, the majority ofthe world’s supply of plasmaproduct comes from paiddonors,” the op-ed reads.“Without this system, therewould be severe shortagesof products for patients whoneed them.”

Canadian Plasma Re-sources (CPR) recentlyopened a facility in Saska-toon and is considering ex-panding outWest. But NDPhealth critic Judy Darcy iscalling it a “bad idea,” argu-ing it goes against the Krev-er Inquiry, which examinedthe tainted blood scandal ofthe 1980s.

“He said we should notput the blood supply at riskby having pay-for-plasma,”Darcy told the Record.

“Thousands of people

were infected with HIV andhepatitis C, many peopledied and many people wereill for a very long time.”

Another concern of Dar-cy’s is where CPR would setup shop.

“They often do it inneighbourhoods where youhave some of the most vul-nerable people living, whoneed money, for whom $25is a lot of money,” she said.“I don’t think we ever wantanyone to have a motive fornot disclosing fully any pos-sible risk factors.”

The MLA added evenif a pay-for-plasma com-pany came to B.C., there’sno guarantee the province’sblood supply would benefit.

“They have the right tosell it wherever they want,”

she said.Lake’s op-ed, however,

states there’s nothing inher-ently wrong with for-profitplasma collection clinics. Hesays the technology for han-dling and processing bloodproducts has advanced dra-matically in the 30 yearssince the blood scandal.

“Today, these productshave a remarkable safetyprofile, resulting from multi-layered production testingprocesses and procedures.… Rigorous donor screen-ing and transmissible-dis-ease testing are two criticalelements.”

He goes on to say plasmaproducts undergo additionalsteps, including quarantine,viral inactivation and pu-rification, making finishedplasma products “very safe.”

“Data shows that prod-ucts derived from plasmadonated by paid donors areas safe as those from non-remunerated donors,” hewrites, adding he’s been as-sured by Canadian BloodServices that the currenttechnology and systems inplace safeguard the supply.

Manufacturers, mean-while, would have to be li-censed and meet the stan-dards set out by HealthCanada.

After living in aVancou-ver shelter for the past twoor three months, some Af-ghani refugees will soon bestarting a new life in NewWestminster.

EllenVaillancourt, who isfamiliar with Muslim cul-tures as a result of her for-mer role with the MuslimStudies Centre at SimonFraser University, is get-ting set to welcome three orfour refugees into her NewWest home. Having space inher home to accommodatesome refugees and being fa-miliar with Muslim cultureprompted the local wom-an to add her name to somelists of organizations wel-coming refugees into Can-ada.

“As it turned out themost in need of housing

were young men, primarilyof middle eastern descent,”she told the Record. “Iguess that would be becauseof what we see and hear inthe media.There is a hugestigma or stereotype. Peopleshy away from that.”

Vaillancourt will soon bewelcoming three or fouryoung professional men intoher home. One of the menstudied medicine for 13years and worked with Doc-torsWithout Borders forseveral years; another wasa chief information officerwith the Afghani presiden-tial palace.

SITE SEEING: Jaimie McEvoy, left, and Jim Hutson checked out the B.C. Gasworks building at 23112th St. in October 2004. Before becoming a city councillor, McEvoy did a six-week research project and de-veloped a list of the Top 10 endangered heritage buildings in the Royal City – and included the Gasworksbuildingon that list.The B.C. Gasworks, the oldest brick building in the city and the province’s first gas plant building, garneredheadlines last month when part of its roof collapsed. McEvoy said he hopes the incident will be a “wakeupcall” tomove forwardwithplans for the site,which is ownedby theprovincial government.PHOTORECORDFILES

Ride the trolley to discover New West’s real estateA San Francisco-style

trolley will be traversing theRoyal City to help househunters get a look as someof the local properties forsale.

DerrickThornhill, a Re-altor with Park Georgia Re-alty in NewWest, is offer-

ing a two-hour trolley tourof some of the properties forsale in the city every Sundayin April.

“I am travelling the entirecity. My route will circum-navigate the city,” he toldtheRecord. “I have a setroute that we will do every

week, and then we will gooff that route to the listingsthat are available. I will tryand touch on every neigh-bourhood in the city.”

Thornhill decided thetime was right to launch atrolley tour because it’s a“super competitive” market.

“Buyers on board thetrolley are going to gainsome really useful knowl-edge about the city of NewWest,” he said. “They aregoing to be learning aboutproperty values, neigh-bourhoods, local business-es, city infrastructure, rec-

reation, where the schoolsare – things you would needto know if you didn’t knowthe city and were thinking ‘Iam going to move my fam-ily here.’”

Each week, the tour willmake stops at four or fivesingle-family homes and al-

low tour goers to go insidethe homes. Attendees willreceive a list of the homeson Sunday’s tour onThurs-day and will board the trol-ley atThornhill’s office at648 Sixth St. and depart at2 p.m.

PerformancePowering both Coupe and Roadstermodels is a turbocharged 2.0-litre4-cylinder. The TT shares thisengine with others in the VWfamily - not that there’s anythingwrong with that - since this motoris one of the most respected in theindustry.

While on paper its 220 hp and 258lb-ft of torque doesn’t stand-out, itworks extremely well in the real world.It’s capable enough to propel the Audi TTfrom 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds, whichmakes it a world-class coupe performance.

If that’s not fast enough for you, the higher performanceAudi TTS boosts horsepower to 292 and torque to 280 lb-ftwhile still using the same basic engine design. Availableonly as a coupe, the 0-100 km/h time with this setup isastonishing fast 4.9 seconds.

All TT’s come with Audi’s famed quattro all-wheel drivesystem, which was freshly updated. This allows the TT tocorner faster and smoother than in the past. Body roll is alsoreduced, and while steering feel is light, it is precise and direct.

Managing the power in all TT’s is Audi’s 6-speed S tronictransmission. Like its AWD system, its transmission is wellknown as one of the best in the industry. The system shiftsquickly and effortlessly, without taking away any feel orcharacter.

Audi drive select is also standard. Changing the drivemodes alters the TT’s character considerably. Comfortmode makes driving on the highway easy, while selectingDynamic makes the car more responsive and thesuspension firmer.

Overall, Audi achieved its goal of making the TT a truesports car. While it certainly lives in the shadow of the R8supercar, the TT is easier to live as a day-to-day car, and itcan still be fun on a twisty road.

EnvironmentAt first glance,while the cabinis certainlyluxurious, theminimalisticdesign bringsconfusion – whereare the controls?But, it doesn’t takemore than a fewseconds to realizethe Audi TT’sinterior is ahead ofits time.

Where mostmodern cars havea touchscreen inthe centre stack, inthe Audi TT thatarea is notablysparse. Instead, all

pertinent information is displayed onthe 12-inch screen in the instrumentpanel right in front of the driver.It is highly customizable, andfeatures like navigation and thebackup camera can be viewedas full screen or split with otherdetails.

The centre of the dash housesthree round, elegant air vents. While

they have a classic look, they arerevolutionary because they also control

the climate controls, including the heatedseat controls, as one unit.

On the topic of vents, Roadster models have heaters inthe seat backs to keep your neck warm on those cold dayswhen you still want to drive with the top down.

The front seats in the TT are immensely comfortable.Ergonomics are excellent and even tall drivers will findplenty of room.

While nobody would consider the Audi TT a family car,the coupe can accommodate small children in the back ina pinch. Keep in mind, they will grow out of them quicklyand adults will only want to use them in an emergency.

For longer trips, the TT offers reasonable practicality with340 litres of cargo space in Coupe trim. Roadsters areobviously not so practical, with very limited trunk capacity,especially with the top down.

All-in-all, the Audi TT’s cabin is distinctive and classy. Theinterior is one of the best in the market, not just in thissegment.

FeaturesThe starting price for the Audi TT Coupe is $51,600, whilethe TT Roadster begins at $55,600. The sporty TTS Coupeprices start at $61,900.

Standard equipment includes keyless entry with push-buttonstart, heated front seats, automatic climate control, auto-dimming interior mirror, heated exterior mirrors, light andrain-sensing headlights, rear parking sensors, and Bluetooth.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims,include navigation, a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring,active lane assist, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for both the Coupe andRoadster TT are 10.1 city, 7.8 highway for 9.1 combined.The TTS returns 10.3 city, 8.6 highway and 9.5 combined.

Thumbs UpThe TT has a futuristic environment and Audi’s quattroprovides driving thrills. Both combine to make the TTunique in this segment.

Thumbs DownPurists may not consider the TT simply because it isnot available as rear-wheel drive or with a manualtransmission. If you want a “pure” sports car, you may wantto look at the Porsches.

The Bottom LineIf you want a fun coupe or roadster that boasts class, style andmodern technology, the 2016 Audi TT has all that and more.

today’sdriveYour journey starts here.

2016 welcomes the third generation of Audi’strendy-looking, fun-loving coupe, the TT.

When the TT was first introduced in 1998,it made headlines thanks to its cool design,unconventional interior, and outstandingperformance.

The only challenge was - while the TT turnedheads – it wasn’t quite up to par in terms ofperformance when compared against the likesof the Porsche Boxster.

Today, the all-new Audi TT promises to changethat impression. The BMW Z4, Mercedes SLK and Porsche718 should be on high alert because the new TT doesn’tjust make great promises, it delivers.

DesignWhile the 2016 Audi TT is all-new, it doesn’t looksignificantly different than the two previous generations.It does have a more masculine overall feel, however, andthoroughly modern design inside and out.

The Audi TT is still a two-door, four-seat luxury sports carthat is available as a coupe or convertible. It now rides onVolkswagen’s MQB architecture and its body is made fromaluminum. These two aspects mean that this generation isover 100 lbs lighter than the previous model.

Coupe models feature a sloping roof that extends all theway to the rear hatch. Roadsters have a fabric roof that isable to open and close in 10 seconds while travelling up tospeeds of 50 km/h.

The front is dominated by a large trapezoidal grille.The available full LED headlights are sharp and have anassertive, animalistic look.

Paying homage to the original TT, this generationfeatures prominently rounded wheel arches and centrallymounted exhaust outlets.

Inside, the cabin is stylish, and clever use of moderntechnology allowed Audi designers to give the TT aminimal, simple layout without sacrificing usability.

W e’re not only about cruise deals! We have an outstanding offer forover 20 well-known 5 star all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, Domini-

can Republic, Costa Rica, Jamaica and Curacao. You’ve probably heard of“surprise” hotel deals – where the big online agencies get you a fantastic dealon a 5 star property, but don’t tell you which one it is until after you book.Basically it’s because the hotel wants to fill the property without being seenpublicly doing so. Our deal only requires that you sign up (for free) to ourprivate emails and then we’re allowed to tell you the actual resort options –and then you decide if you want to book.

The travel must be completed by December 21, 2017. The resort companywill be in touch with you before you arrive to go over details and will inviteyou to participate in their various amenities and programs (which are totallyat your discretion to do so). Unlimited premium drinks and amazing food,

along with many activities, taxes and fees are included, but air isadditional. The resorts we have are normally more than doublethis price. There are adult only and family resort choices. Whenyou find out which properties we have,you’ll agree with me about the incrediblevalue!

Things are rolling forNewWestminster Second-ary’s newest after-schoolclub.

The bike club, organizedby trades’ teacher Dan Lee,aims to get kids interested inbike maintenance and teachthem how to repair theirown bikes.The club is opento all grades, and Lee saidhe had especially good turn-out during the initial work-shop last month.

“We had about a dozen orso students,” he said.

The workshop was es-sentially a kick-starter forthe club. It was a four-weekprogram after school led byGordon Hobbis, owner ofCap’s Sapperton. He intro-duced the students to ba-sics of bicycle maintenanceand repair and even broughtin some donated bikes fromhis shop for them to workon.

“He’s been a huge help.He’s donated probably40-plus bikes so far to theschool,” Lee said.

Lee started the club to

drum up interest in a for-credit course that will be of-fered at the high school nextSeptember.The district-ap-proved course was createdby Lee, who said he hopesthat the students will comeaway with an excitementabout cycling they didn’thave before.

Part of the course will in-clude rebuilding the bikesHobbis donates and do-nating them to communi-ty groups. He’s already con-nected with the LookoutEmergency Aid Society andhopes to find more organi-zations who could use it, es-

pecially ones that work withfamilies.

Another positive impactof the club, and hopeful-ly the course, Lee said, isthat it introduces studentsto cycling as a way of gettingaround. Lee, who himself isnot a hard-core cyclist, saidhe’d like to see the kids takeup cycling as a way of recre-ation and transportation.

Some of the students arealready converts.

Grade 11 student AntonBabiy told theRecord he’salready biked over almostevery major bridge in theLower Mainland, includ-

ing the Pattullo Bridge, andhas gone on rides as long as80 kilometres.This summer,he and his friends plan oncrossing the Port Mann andGolden Ears bridges.

Babiy doesn’t plan ontaking the bike course nextyear – he can’t fit it into hisschedule – but he will con-tinue to drop in on the bikeclub.

Lee has no plans of shut-ting down the bike clubonce the district approvedcourse begins next fall. Hewants to keep that openfor students like Babiy whocan’t take the course.

Recently we have beenlooking back 125 years to1891. Much of what wehave found really showsthat there was a lot happen-ing during the late 1800s inNewWestminster.

Transportation was amajor theme at that time.Connections were creat-ed throughout the LowerMainland, the Fraser Riverwas crossed and even moreconnections were extendedthrough Surrey and into theUnited States.

A streetcar system wasrapidly becoming a reality,and the newspaper eagerlyreported that the contract toclear the right of way fromNewWestminster toVan-couver had been let and 400men would begin work im-mediately.

There was much inter-est in the fact that therewas a good chance thatthere would be regular tramservice by summer. As itworked out, the first phaseof the line was ready in thesummer, and the full con-nection was completed inthe fall.

There was extended ser-vice crossing the Fraser Riv-er between NewWestmin-ster and Surrey with thenew and much better ferry,the Surrey, which replacedthe original boat, the K deK. A short item in the paperpointed out that there wasfirm evidence that proper-ty values were going up andreal estate firms were busybecause of this improved ac-cess to the Surrey area.

A major impetus for theincrease in access to thesouth was the rail connec-tion recently recognizedwith a “last spike” ceremo-ny in Surrey. Newspaperstories about the rail con-nections were filled with thenames NewWestminsterSouthern Railroad and theGreat Northern.There wereplans and hopes for regu-lar rail links in the U.S. withBlaine, Fairhaven and Fern-dale.

The areas were open-ing up, business and in-dustry were watching theevolution, and there waseven a new town site be-ing planned – Liverpool.While it would be a numberof years until a rail bridgewould be built, just having alink close by was exciting.

Just as we watch real es-tate today with its rapidlygrowing prices, so too wereresidents and investors in1891 paying close atten-tion to property, access and

the things that were chang-ing day by day.There weremany property sales of note.

One offered a large area andpromoted the added incen-tive that “the tram will run

through it.”This was landthat had been owned by theLatham family.The land

pieces were being sold for$250 each, with terms of$50 cash with the rest over

two, six, nine or 12 months.This was a busy, changing

town in 1891.

Yes, most likely. Millions ofpeople suffer with low backpain. Back pain is one of the

top reasons people seek acupunc-ture. Acupuncture works! There is

that nagging, aching pain that shoots across your lower backand hips and down your legs to your toes. The worst part is thatyou may or may not have done anything to contribute to yourpain. The pain can be sharp, stabbing or achey and exhaust-ing. Acupuncture promotes healing by increasing energy andblood flow and is essentially a painless treatment. Typically onetreatment is not enough, but most often you feel better afterone session. You owe it to yourself to give acupuncture a try.Acupuncture is covered by Extended Health Care Plans.

two ways in which a shareholderagreement can help your company.This month, I will discuss two more

ways. First, you can keep your shareholder agreement pri-vate. In contrast, your company must keep its articles avail-able for the public to inspect. Second, making a shareholderagreement forces you to write down how you think yourcompany is going to run. When you make a shareholderagreement, you spell out what you expect, so you find out ifthe other shareholders agree.This column is legal information, not legal advice.

Can weight training helpwith Osteoporosis aswomen age?

ASK A FITNESS INSTRUCTOR

The short answer is Yes! Whena women goes throughmenopause this signifies the

decrease of estrogen production andis associated with bone loss (osteo-porosis). There are several studies that

weight training or weight bearing exercises helps in develop-ment, increase and maintain greater bone and or muscle massand is the most effective way to help prevent Osteoporosis. Afterthe age of 35, women tend to start losing bone density whichmostly has been attributed to inactivity and lack of weight train-ing. In pre-menopausal women, developing greater peak bonemass as a young adult with a weight bearing training regimenwill help provide more time before the bones could begin tofracture and deteriorate and potentially keeping Osteoporosisat bay!

Falling is a leading cause of in-juries for seniors. It is estimatedthat 1 in 3 adults over 65 will

suffer a fall each year, and that half ofthose will suffer significant injury. Many

of these injuries, which often lead to a loss of independence,can be avoided. Have a look around your home. Make surehallways and paths are clear of clutter, loose rugs, low furniture,and electrical cords. Have your Physician review any medica-tions you are taking if you feel your balance is worsening. Anassessment from a Physiotherapist can determine what is con-tributing to your poor balance, and identify specific exercisesthat will help improve balance, strength and endurance. ThePhysiotherapist may also recommend walking poles (instead ofa cane) which improve walking posture and stability.

If an adult tooth is dislodged thefirst thing to do is find the toothand make sure it is clean. Thesocket will bleed so applying

pressure with a tissue or gauze is wise.Once the tooth has been located place itinto some warm milk and phone a dentist

immediately. A tooth that has been dislodged can be re-implantedwith moderate success rates, though timing is critical; the soonerthe better! The dentist will need to do a root treatment procedureand splint the tooth to adjacent teeth to increase the success ofimplantation. After a few weeks of healing the splint can be removedand stability assessed. This tooth will need to be checked regularlyin the future to assess for any root problems that can arise as a con-sequence of this type of trauma. Going forward, it is wise to preparefor the future replacement of this tooth with an implant, bridge, ordenture since long-term success is unpredictable. If you have furtherquestions feel free to ask your dentist at your next visit!

The cost of dentures is affectedby many factors. Will this be a firstset of dentures or a replacementset? Do you need partial denturesor full dentures? Will you choose

standard dentures, and if so, which type?Or will you opt for dentures over implants?.The type of material used will also affectthe final cost of your dentures.

Basically the cost of any denture is related directly to it’s quality.That’s the bottom line. You get what you pay for. A good qualitydenture made by a top of the line denturist is going to give you thebest value for the dollars you spend.While it wouldn’t be possible to quote actual prices for each typeand procedure, those vary by denturist. At Prime Denture Clinic wecan help break down the prices for you so you have a reasonableidea of what each procedure will cost. Hopefully this information willhelp you understand that there a varying degrees of cost accordingto the type of denture you finally choose.

Shooting for the stars:KielMagis is launchinghisdebutalbumwithaCD release concert at Anvil CentreonSaturdaynight. PHOTOCONTRIBUTED

“My mom forced me to”may not sound like the mostauspicious beginning for asinging career.

But that’s exactly howKiel Magis starts his story –and it seems to have workedfor him.

Magis is releasing his de-but album with a concert onSaturday, April 9 at the An-vil CentreTheatre.

The young bari-tenorwill be performing mostlycontemporary music, withclassical and some originalworks by Juno Award-win-ning producer Robbie Bu-chanan.

It’s been a long journeyfor the kid who loved bas-ketball, soccer and trackand field and who had tobe forced into singing byhis mother – who was alsohis first music teacher. But,with a little help from acrush on a girl with whomhe was going to sing a duet(thanks, Maria Bamford),he quickly found a love of

singing.“With my newfound ex-

citement for singing and myprofound crush on this girl,it was easy to get on stageand perform,” he says in apress release.

His fledgling perform-ing career quickly took off,as he performed as Cae-sar Augustus in the Christ-mas musical in Grade 5 andthen performed the nation-al anthem at a school talentshow in Grade 7.

From there, he movedon to St. Patrick’s RegionalSecondary School, where heperformed with the concertand chamber choirs underthe direction ofTony Arau-jo and was cast in schoolplays in his later high schoolyears.

He went on to study mu-sic at Douglas College andtransferred to UBC, wherehe finished his bachelor ofmusic degree in vocal per-formance in May 2014.

He has an extensive re-

sume of choral singing ex-perience – including severalyears with Phoenix Cham-ber Choir and performingwith theVancouver BachChoir,Vancouver ChamberChoir, Amabilis Singers andB.C. Boys’ Choir - and hasperformed in backup choirswith Andrea Bocelli at Rog-ers Arena andTheTenors atQueen ElizabethTheatre.

Magis also sings for wed-dings and private and cor-porate events.

He’s hoping his debut al-bum will help him launch acareer in the solo world, ad-mitting he’s “shooting forthe stars.”

“The journey will belong, but the end result willbe worth it,” he says.

The concert starts at 7:30p.m. at the Anvil CentreTheatre, 777 Columbia St.

Tickets are availablethrough www.ticketsnw.ca,and more information canbe found at www.kielmagis.com.

about not changing the way we live. Weneed to break this wide open and reallystart tackling this in every neighbourhoodand on every front.“My go-to neighbourhood to increasedensity is downtown – it’s extremely wellserved by transit, it’s walkable, it’s got greatamenities – yet there is the sentiment thatit’s built out, which is simply wrong. Wehave tower zones that are limited to 300feet high – why not 500 feet? We havezones that are 700 feet, why not 1,000 feet?Why not 2,000 feet high?“We talk about having a limited land base,but we have an unlimited land base aboveour heads. And there are many, manybuildings in downtown Vancouver that areonly three to five storeys high.”When asked about public concern over theprotection of viewpoints and view cones,

Vancouver may be running outof land on which to build morehousing, but there’s plenty of

space overhead – we just need to rethinkthe value of specific views, the UrbanDevelopment Institute’s incoming chairtold listeners of the Real Estate Therapistradio show March 26.Speaking to Joannah Connolly, editor andcontent manager of REW.ca and host of theweekly Saturday morning call-in show, JonStovell said that radical measures had to betaken to vastly increase density and meetthe demand for housing in Vancouver. Heargued that only by increasing supply inmuch greater measures would affordabilitybe achieved.On the live radio show, Stovell, who ispresident and CEO of Reliance Properties,the developer behind the One Burrard

Place highrise project on Burrard Street,said, “Vancouver has arrived on the globalscene. Whether we like it or not, thischange is upon us. People are coming fromall over the world, which is a great thing.But it’s sad that it means that a lot of localresidents can’t afford to own homes, oroften even to rent them.“But this is completely a self-inflictedproblem, on our part, where we’re simplynot responding to the influx of investmentand growth as an opportunity, and insteadwe’re trying to raise the drawbridge andfill the moat with alligators. We shouldbe welcoming the world in, we should befinding ways to create supply of housing.“There are almost infinite opportunities inwhich we could increase supply, and all ofthe constraints are built around artificialbarriers or sentiment or parochial attitudes

Stovell responded, “The view cones aremaybe a questionable extravagance, at thispoint. Our mountains are 4,000 feet high.The view cones protect certain viewpointsat a certain moment. I don’t know that theview cones are something that will be ableto survive the continuing growth pressuresof the city.“As for public concern… it’s only when thecity started to stop a lot of the developmentdowntown, and you move out intoGrandview-Woodland and Marpole wherewe started to get some really strenuouspushback from people, as the changes aremuch more alarming to them.”Tune in every Saturday 9-10am to theReal Estate Therapist Show on CIRHRoundhouse Radio 98.3FM, and listento shows live or on demand atwww.roundhouseradio.com.

With most major competitionshaving come to an end, Simon Fra-ser University unveiled its 2016Athletic Awards recipients lastweek, led by point guard Ellen Kettand linebacker Jordan Herdman.

The pair of student athletes wereselected as the Lorne Davies Ath-letes of theYear, as announced atthe HiltonVancouver Metrotown atits annual awards banquet.

A junior from Melbourne, Aus-tralia, Kett earned a spot on theGreat Northwest Athletic Con-ference All-Conference first team,having placed top-5 in assists andthree-point shooting in the NCAA.

Herdman, meanwhile, proved alock as GNAC Defensive Player oftheYear, picking up an All-Regionfirst team honour as well as theClan’s first-ever NCAA All-Amer-ican second team spot, setting theGNAC single game record for tack-les.

Burnaby’s Cameron Proceviatand Surrey’s Rachel Proctor werechosen as the Bill DeVries All-Around Athletes of theYear, pre-sented to senior student athleteswho excel in competition, the class-room and the community.

Proceviat, a Moscrop grad, fell1.2 seconds short of winning theNCAA Div. 2 800-metres indoortitle after helping the cross-coun-try team to a 12th place result atnationals. President of the Stu-dent Athlete Advisory Committee(SAAC), Proceviat volunteers asa learning coach and carries a 3.9grade-point-average in molecularbiology and biochemistry.

A GNAC All-Conference firstteam outfielder, Proctor proved tobe one of the top batters in the con-ference, and made the Dean’s Hon-our Roll this year as a student inHealth Sciences.

Receiving theTerry Fox MostInspirational Athletes of theYearawards were junior soccer playersOlivia Aguiar and BrandonWatson.

Aguiar finished third in teamscoring while helping the women’sprogram post its best season in fiveyears. She serves as vice-presidentof the SAAC, championing the#consentmatters promotion andis a learning coach. Aguiar holds a3.78 GPA in kinesiology.

Watson has been a leader on themen’s soccer team since transfer-ring from Coastal Carolina.TheVictoria product posted the second-best goals against average and savepercentage in the conference, earn-ing a GNAC All-Conference sec-ond-team honour.

The biomedical physiology stu-dent serves as a learning coach andyouth soccer coach.

Earning top freshmen honourswere Mackenzie Hamill, of themen’s swimming team, and soccerstriker Christina Dickson.

BissettcontinuesfamilyhockeyrunNewWest native puts broken bones behind him to chase Canadian field hockey [email protected]

If it sometimes takes a break to reach yourgoal, Brenden Bissett will take a pass.

The NewWestminster native has overcomea few breaks of the unlucky kind and made theCanadian men’s field hockey team throughperseverance and passion, and now is eager tohelp the national program continue its climbup the international charts.

Today 23-year-old Bissett and his squad findthemselves in Malaysia, playing the secondgame of the Azlan Shah Cup, a seven-teamtournament that serves as a primer for the2016 Rio Olympics.

They opened the international tourney onWednesday with a 3-1 loss at the hands of No.11-ranked Pakistan.

Ranking and position are all part of the pic-ture for the youthful forward, as the AzlanShah provides an excellent opportunity tomeasure the field for this summer’s big games.

“I think we bring a new intensity,” Bissetttold the Record last week prior to jetting toMalaysia. “There’s a lot more competition andeveryday it’s 110 per cent just to keep my spoton the team.

“The Olympics were everyone’s goal fromthe outset and now that we’ve qualified, youwant to be there to contribute.”

Canada officially qualified last year by fin-ishing second at the Pan Am Games inToron-to, beating Brazil by shootout in the semifinals.They would lose the final 3-0 to Argentina,but Canada had already set the tone a monthearlier with a dramatic shootout victory overthen sixth-ranked New Zealand in theWorld

League semifinals in Buenos Aires.“We had set an ambitious goal.We had to

beat a top-six team. … Beating Brazil clinchedour spot. It took 15 rounds (of shooters) to doit, but we did it.”

Since he debuted with the national team in2011 at the age of 17, the experiences he couldhave piled up en route to this junction shouldhave been multi-layered.The only thing is af-ter making that first tour with the team, Bissettmet more surgeons and physiotherapists thanopposing players.

He suffered through three surgeries, afterbreaking his left arm three times, and suffereda broken right thumb last year.

Every time it seemed the healing processwas completed, Bissett faced another hurdle toplaying for Canada again.

“My first tour with the senior (nationalteam) was in 2011 and the next one in 2015,so that was a bit of a wait,” he admitted.

The first break occurred while playing withhis club team in 2011, and put him on thesidelines for four months. A year later, playingat the University ofVictoria, the same arm wasbroken. After three months, the doctors decid-ed it wasn’t healing properly and the arm wasrebroken. Good luck seemed sorely lacking.

Not a superstitious person, Bissett musedhow perhaps a four-leaf clover or horseshoewould be a good idea.

“I don’t have any superstitions, but maybeI should develop one just to keep me healthy,”he said with a chuckle. “(Field hockey) is nota contact sport but you can get injured, as I’veproven.”

With 42 caps – including 25 with the seniornational team – Bissett has absorbed plenty of

on-pitch lessons on what it takes to competeinternationally.

His love for the sport benefited from the ex-periences of others.

“My uncle David went to two Olympics,(Montreal and Los Angeles) so I think I gotthe most influence from him,” said Bissett.“He’s helped me out and comes out to watch,and he’s always talking about the game.”

His older brothers, twins Stephen and Mat-thew, have also worn the national uniform.

In January, Stephen and Brenden were partof the Canadians who travelled to South Afri-ca to train.

The sport provided a common bond forthe three Bissett boys growing up. Althoughtwo years separate the twins and Brenden, theyounger brother benefited from the older sib-lings’ experiences by always pushing to jointhem.

“For a lot of the time I’d play two years upwith their team and try to be two years betterthan my age,” he said.

A member of the Canadian junior lineup atthe 2013 JuniorWorld Cup, Bissett said thebiggest adjustment at the senior level is the in-tensity of the players. At last year’s Azlan ShahCup, he couldn’t help but appreciate how seri-ously everyone took the games.

“It’s a pretty incredible scene, really,” he re-marked. “They fully host you, welcome youright from the airport.We played before acrowd of 5,000 people and you don’t get thatin Canada.”

Each game wearing the Canadian maple leafis special, Bissett noted, recalling his first timeup with the senior squad.

United inCoastalhuntU18 boys box outWest Coast to start Cup playdowns

Give the Royal CityWest-minster United a challenge,and chances are you’ll getpushback – in a big way.

TheWest Coast Juventusfound that out last week, asthe Royal City boys surgedto a 2-1 victory in under-18boys Coastal B Cup’s open-ing round of play.

Westminster started thegame well, with a handful ofscoring opportunities get-ting turned back only to seeWest Coast take a loose balland convert it to a 1-0 leadjust 16 minutes into thecontest.

“We had a good start withthree or four quality chanc-es, but what sometimeshappens is the other teamcomes down and puts one

in,” said coach Ed Zacha-ruk. “That’s what they did.”

Royal City wasted littletime in responding, tyingthe game at the 25-minutemark when CraigTillot-son bent a 25-yard free kickaround the wall and intothe net.

“My son (Markus Zach-aruk) usually takes our freekicks but this time he told(Tillotson) to take it… Itwas a beauty,” he said.

Then, with five minutesleft in the first half,Tillotsontook a pass down the leftside and from 20-yards outburied a cracker of a shot togiveWestminster the lead.

It’s an advantage they’dmake stick.

The best scoring chance

in the second half wouldhave given the home teama two-goal lead.Tillotsonplayed to Ryan Hayes off acorner kick, only to see theshot rise over the net.

Nailing it down was astandout performance fromthe team’s backline, featur-ing Naoll Degife, Josef Fin-lay,Taylor Jensen and goal-keeper Matthew Buchanan.

The team of mostly grad-uating players finishedfourth out of 10 during theregular season, shaking offa cool start which saw themnotch but a couple of tiesover the first month.

Royal City now drawCentral City in its secondCup game, this Saturday inSurrey.

“I was still in high school so it was a bitof a shock and a huge jump,” he said of hisdebut in 2011. “My first game was againstFrance, and our next game was against theU.S. where I scored.Then I waited fouryears for my next game.”

Canada plays its second game of theAzlan Shah Cup against New Zealand to-day. On Saturday, the Canadians play Ja-pan, then take on No. 7-ranked India onSunday. On April 12, Canada plays the hostnation, then draws Australia, ranked No. 1in the world, on the final day.
