◗ ANTI-HST CAMPAIGN

Petition hits its target BY ANDREW FLEMING CONTRIBUTOR editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Organizers of the grassroots campaign led by former premier Bill Vander Zalm to repeal the harmonized sales tax estimate they’ve already met Elections B.C.’s minimum requirement of 10 per cent of voters’ signatures from the New Westminster riding. With eight weeks still to go before the July 5 deadline, hitting the internal threshold of 15 per cent set by the Fight HST campaign in order to be on the safe side doesn’t seem like it will be a problem. The campaign wants a comfortable safety margin in case signatures are rejected by Elections B.C. for being registered in a different riding or otherwise ineligible. According to head organizer Chris Delaney, 56 out of the total of 85 provincial ridings have reached the 10 per cent mark while 34 have met the 15 per cent target. “This is the largest sample of public opinion ever done in the history of B.C.,” said Delaney. “It has become much more than just a legal petition to repeal the HST. It has become a referendum on the tax and the government that gave it to us.” The petition against the new 12 per cent merged tax on goods and services remains available for signing Monday to Friday at Greens & Beans Deli Café (143 East Columbia St.) from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Wednesday to Sunday at Coming Home Café (753 Sixth St.) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Gathering the sufficient number of signatures is no guarantee the HST will be dismantled. The Liberal government could instead choose to defeat or ignore the repeal bill.

Heritage buildings and mobile homes don’t usually share much in common, but an exception occurred uptown late at night over the weekend. Shortly after midnight on Saturday night, the prominent 1913 circa building known as the Wadsworth house was picked up and moved at a snail-like pace from its longstanding location at 508 Sixth Ave. several blocks away to a new address at 218 Saint Patrick St. The house’s new owner, local real estate agent Dave Vallee, couldn’t be happier about it. “It went really smoothly,” said Vallee. “Although I have to admit there were a couple of tense moments.” Several traffic lights, power lines and phone lines had to be removed in advance of the stately home’s progression.

◗ PARKING IN SAPPERTON

Sunlight will run stations BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster will be testing solar-powered pay parking stations in Sapperton. Council has asked staff to pursue a pay station parking system as part of the streetscape improvements that are taking place on East Columbia Street. Under the pilot project, pay stations will replace meters on East Columbia Street between Braid and Sherbrooke streets. “You pay through your credit card or your debit card,” said Coun. Bob Osterman. “I love it in White Rock.” A staff report notes that one pay station will serve up to 12 parking stalls, so the number of meters and signs will be greatly reduced and free up sidewalk space for people. “I think it is going to make the street look a lot neater. It is all in one place,” said Coun. Lorrie Williams. “It’s the perfect location for it because the beautification program is going on right there.” Williams said removing meters from sidewalks will improve accessibility issues. A staff report states that each parking meter costs about $1,000 to install, while the pay stations can range from $10,000 to $15,000. The city believes six to eight pay stations will be required as part of this pilot project. The City of New Westminster received a Canada-B.C. Building Canada grant for the East Columbia Street beautification project, which will help pay for the pay stations. The city’s share is onethird of the total cost, or about $40,000. “It is expected that there will be ongoing savings with the use of centralized stations as collection of money will be faster, and there will be far less meters to service,” said a report to council. “An increase in revenue may also be realized as individuals will be able to use other methods of payment other than coins.” As part of the East Columbia Street beautification project, the city will be able to evaluate the merits of pay stations and determine if they should be expanded to other areas of the city. The city will issue a request for proposals for the trial implementation of a pay station parking system to replace the current parking meter system.

One of the more unique stops on this year’s Heritage Homes Tour and Tea is the Massey Heights “Screen House.” Les Linfoot and Jeanine Harper renovated their ‘50s rancher in 2008 into a strikingly modern home that blends mid-century sensibility with contemporary architecture. “I never wanted to build something like Beaver Cleaver’s house,” says Linfoot. “We wanted to build something that fit in (with the neighbourhood) but still moved forward.” It’s called the “Screen House” because of the large wood and aluminum screen suspended in front of the second-storey addition. The screen is intended to keep too much sun from coming into the home’s large windows. The York Street house was conceived by the owners and their architect, Randy Bens, who had worked with famed architect Arthur Erickson. The couple bought the home about 10 years ago, when they made the decision to downsize. Two of their three sons had gone to university, so ◗Tour Page 4

they sold their Queen’s Park home and bought the Massey Heights bungalow. “I liked the rancher,” Les says, but when their sons finished university and returned to the nest, space became an issue. Instead of moving, the family decided to renovate. “We’d always wanted to build a house,” says Linfoot. And what a house they’ve built. They pushed the house out 10 feet further in the front yard, to make way for the living room, then left that space open, without a ceiling to the second floor. The living room and the dining room on the main floor were reversed. The biggest change, though, was the addition of the second floor, where they built a studio for Linfoot, who’s a painter, and a master bedroom, walk-in closet and master bathroom. A bridge-style walkway separates Linfoot’s painting studio and the master bedroom. In the corner, between these two spaces, is a charming small outside patio Linfoot calls the “secret garden.” One of the most prominent features of the second level is a spacious deck. Massey Heights is a neighbourhood known for its views, and the York Street house may have one of the more breathtaking vantage points. Wherever possible, Linfoot says they chose sustainable building options, which includes the decision to renovate rather than totally tear down and rebuild – which would have likely been a much less expensive endeavour, he says. “We are not eco-warriors, but we do have an appreciation for recycling,” Linfoot says. The cabinetmaker, architect and builder are all locals, Linfoot adds. The house and its contractor won a SAM Award in 2009 from the Canadian Home Builders’ Association for Whole House Renovation and were finalists for a 2009 Georgie Award, and have been nominated for a Royal City Builders’ Award. Gordon and Wilena Morgan built the York Street house in 1954. It was one of the first houses in the new Massey Heights neighbourhood, the place to live in the 1950s and ‘60s for the city’s professional elite, says the Home Tour guidebook. The home is one of 12 stops on the selfguided home tour. This year marks the 31st year for the tour, which was founded by the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society to preserve and protect heritage in the Royal City. Catherine Hutson and Kathleen Langstroth have organized the tour for the

last five years. Hutson’s first taste of the annual event was as a tour-goer in 1988. At the time, she didn’t live in New Westminster. After seeing the tour, Hutson and her husband, Jim, decided to sell their East Vancouver house and buy a heritage home in Queen’s Park. Then, in 1990, they were asked to have their home featured in the tour. “My husband and I were horrified that anyone would want our house on the tour,” Hutson says, laughing. Their homes have been featured three times through the years. In 1998, she started volunteering with the annual event. When it comes to finding homes to feature on the tour, Hutson says she and Langstroth learn a lot through word-ofmouth. They also do a lot of walking through the city, looking for unique homes that spark their interest. But then comes the hard part – asking people to open their homes to the public. Hutson says they get more people saying no than yes. “It’s intimidating to have two middleaged women with big smiles, saying ‘This is why we are here,’” she says. Those who do say yes are helping charity because funds from this year’s tour will go to the New Westminster Heritage Foundation, which provides grants to owners of city-designated heritage properties for restoration, Queen’s Park Healthcare Foundation, which raises money for Queen’s Park Care Centre, and Tourism New Westminster. “This is not just about old homes, this is about people who live in New Westminster. … They made a choice to live here because they love their home,” Hutson says. Talking about Linfoot’s York Street house, Hutson says, “I think they are taking a page from Arthur Erickson.” “In the past, that era was scorned. Now, it’s being heralded as a great, functional house,” she says. “It’s still heritage because they are taking an older home and respecting the era of the 1960s. One of the great things about New West is that we have such a great stock of heritage homes. I hope people in Massey Heights understand they have great ‘60s homes, and in the West End, we have great 1930/40s homes.” Hutson says, “heritage isn’t just a structure, it’s a feeling in the home.” As for the tour, it’s the 400 people who volunteer who are crucial to its success, Hutson says. The tour is being held on Sunday, May 30, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets to the Heritage Home and Tea Tour are $35. For information on where to buy tickets, visit www.newwestheritage. org.

Art project celebrates Eva’s legacy

Sixty-ﬁve Canadian artists will create one work each for 65 Red Roses BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Canadian artists are coming together to celebrate the legacy of Eva Markvoort. Sixty-five members of the Canadian Federation of Artists have created a piece of artwork in honour of the New Westminster resident who passed away March 27 after a lifelong battle with Cystic Fibrosis. Artists including Robert Bateman and

Angela Au Hemphill will contribute to the project. Au Hemphill, a New Westminster artist whose family has known the Markvoorts for many years, watched the positive effect that Eva and her family had on the lives of so many people, locally and now around the world. A member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Au Hemphill believes the project is a perfect opportunity to pay homage to Eva’s struggles, triumphs and indomitable spirit, to provide a fundraising vehicle for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and to raise awareness of organ donor programs.

City working towards ‘density bonus’ system BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster is continuing to work toward its goal of making sure that development helps address a growing population. Work is continuing on implementing a density bonus system in New Westminster. Density bonusing allows the city to increase the maximum allowable densities in certain zones, in exchange for amenity contributions. Back in 2004, council asked staff to review the city’s approach of securing contributions from

new development to help fund the capital costs that are needed to provide services for a growing community. Lil Ronalds, a planner with the City of New Westminster, said the key message is that density bonusing is a way for developers to get more density, but within the same land use. “Lowrises are still lowrises, townhouses are still townhouses,” she said. “An applicant may be able to add a few more units on that same parcel of land.” In 2008, council approved a two-phased density bonusing system, with the first phase to include the creation of new

Liberals, business Liberals wanted.

OUR VIEW

In a surge of anger and mistrust surely beyond their wildest dreams, organizers of the anti-HST movement say they already have more than the required 10 per cent of voter signatures in many of B.C.’s 85 ridings – including right here in New Westminster. With eight weeks to go before the petition deadline, organizers expect to have no problem hitting their 15 per cent target. Despite Winter’s support of the HST, thousands of restaurants, real estate

agents, developers, accountants and others facing an extra seven per cent on the goods and services they provide want to stop the HST. The HST may very well be a good change for B.C. in the long run, but too many people are too angry to listen. And nobody wants to feel that they’ve been lied to or misled by their government. Yes, voters do have short memories, but, in this case, every time they pull out their wallets they’ll have a fresh reminder.

Lessons from the Kash Heed case IN THE HOUSE

KEITH BALDREY

lot has been said and written about the train wreck that has become the Kash Heed affair, but some of the most misplaced comments have had to do with our unique process of investigating cases of alleged criminal activity that come near our political system. For the past 20 years or so, B.C. has used a “special prosecutor” system to ensure there is no perception of political favouritism when it comes to deciding whether a politician – or someone close to a politician – is to be charged with any offence. It has worked rather effectively since its inception. It failed spectacularly in the Heed case, but only because of a wrongheaded decision by the man appointed to be the special prosecutor. (Lawyer Terence Robertson failed to disclose that his law firm had made a financial contribution to Heed’s election campaign, a clear-as-day conflict of interest.) But the ongoing fallout over the affair has raised some important questions and may lead to some necessary “tweaking” of the system (as Attorney

2007 WINNER

General Mike de Jong has characterized the situation). However, whatever changes occur should not trample on the core principle of the system: namely that the attorney general does not exert control or even influence on any special prosecutor. Some NDP MLAs have suggested that in the Heed case, the government should have checked out Robertson early on and informed the Criminal Justice Branch (which actually is in charge of appointing special prosecutors) of his apparent conflict and had him removed. This is nonsense. To take such action would be to directly inject the politicians into the non-partisan, objective decision-making process that governs how politicians are dealt with in the court system. The head of the Criminal Justice Branch, Bob Gillen, takes no direction from his political masters on such matters, and rightly so. He consults with the Law Society of B.C. on special prosecutor appointments, not with elected officials. Still, the Heed episode has exposed a potential flaw in the system. Should lawyers who make financial donations (or whose firms make such donations) to any political party be allowed to be appointed special prosecutors? This hasn’t really been a problem in the past, but then again no one has raised it as an issue

Dear Editor:

On Thursday, May 6, my daughter was walking on the sidewalk along Sixth Street near Fourth Avenue in the early evening. Without warning, she was rammed in the back by a racing bicycle ridden by a teenage boy. My daughter was stunned by the shock and the pain of the collision. By the time she came to her senses, the cyclist had disappeared. She was left with a very sore back and an extremely painful arm and elbow. I regret not being present at the incident to hold this cyclist responsible for his disregard for human safety. Why was he riding on the sidewalk? Why was he speeding? The impact was so forceful. Why did he have no common decency to apologize for hurting my daughter? Why did he not stay to see if she needed assistance? I shudder to think what ◗Law Page 7 might have happened if the victim was an elderly

person. Surely they could have much more serious injury from such a hard impact. Parents, please review with your children the rules of riding a bicycle and the rules of common decency, respect and concern for others. Maria Andoff, New Westminster

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pedestrians are at fault ◗ continued from page 6

lately? The notion that traffic needs to be slowed down is a cruel joke; if traffic were any calmer, it would slip into a coma. Curb extensions in particular are a pet peeve of mine. They screw the driver who wants to turn right and screw everybody if a driver wants to turn left. Furthermore, curb extensions and speed bumps ignore the fact that there are times when travelling quickly is appropriate. I am of course speaking of emergency vehicles. And yet, they provide little benefit of any kind to justify these drawbacks. So why keep putting in more of them? I do understand that, in government, there is always the temptation to do things not because they particularly need to be done, but just to be seen as doing something. I also understand that the goal of these measures is to reduce the number of pedestrian fatalities. So I think it’s reasonable to ask the question: Is it working? It doesn’t seem to me that it is. Despite all the measures taken by the city – extensions, speedbumps, crosswalks, pedestrian-controlled traffic lights – we still see stories in the paper on a regular basis of pedestrians being injured or killed by automobiles. Whenever I see these stories, I always find myself wondering: How is it possible for a pedestrian to not see a car coming? It’s not like cars are inconspicuous objects. They’re big, they’re noisy, and they’ve got bright lights on ’em! And they do not, inevitable statements by the victims to the contrary, “come out of nowhere.” So how is it possible to not see them? The answer, of course, is that it isn’t; pedestrians do see the cars, and they step out in front of them anyway. I’ve seen it

more often than I care to remember, and I’m sure others have too; people who play the game of ‘crosswalk-chicken,’ sometimes with small children in tow! Considering that it is far harder for a driver to see a pedestrian than vice-versa, is it any wonder how often this ends badly? I think there is the assumption, buried deep within the minds of city engineers, that if they can just spend enough money, install enough crosswalks, build enough extensions, then eventually nobody will ever be hit by a car again and the world will be a good and happy place. I hope that merely stating that assumption out loud is all the refutation that is necessary. Clearly, the current approach isn’t working, and just as clearly, is not worth the trade-off of gridlocking our streets on a daily basis. Maybe a new approach is needed. I think that if you really want to stop pedestrians from getting hit, the best way to do it is to give cars the right-of-way in all situations, make pedestrians automatically at fault if they are struck while in the road and hold them responsible not only for their medical expenses, but the damages to the car as well. I guarantee you’ll see pedestrians taking a little more responsibility for their own safety. A controversial statement, I know. But the older I get, the more I come to appreciate that there is no amount of government intervention that can replace plain old personal responsibility. Crosswalks and curb extensions are no substitute for looking both ways and waiting your turn. People love to complain about drivers who don’t stop, but they seem less willing to consider the insanity of daring them to hit you. “I had the right of way” makes a lousy epitaph.

before. It’s not a clear-cut situation, but the issue does need addressing. Another issue that has arisen is the length of time some special prosecutors take to make either a decision when it comes to laying charges, or actually prosecuting the case at hand. Two glaring examples of this kind of delayed justice stick out like sore thumbs. Liberal MLA John Les has been in political limbo for two years now, forced to resign from cabinet after it was revealed he was being investigated over land deals in Chilliwack. That is an unacceptably long time to essentially leave a public figure twisting in the wind, unsure of

his personal future. Surely a special prosecutor can work quicker than that. The second case of delayed justice is the trial stemming from the raid on the B.C. legislature back in 2003. This has seen three young political aides having to put their lives and careers on hold, as the special prosecutor has from time to time failed to make timely disclosure of evidence to the defence. So if changes are indeed made to the special prosecutor system, who initiates them? It can’t be the attorney general or the provincial cabinet. Either the Criminal Justice Branch itself implements new guidelines, or perhaps it is time have a review of the system conducted by an independent party.

Please join us for the next Fraser Health public board meeting Date: Time:

Law: Special prosecutions under ﬁre ◗ continued from page 6

Our Vision: Better health. Best in health care.

Perhaps a legal authority from outside the province, with no ties to any political party, could be asked to conduct the review. Or the man whose recommendations led to the creation of the system in the first place could be asked to step in. That would be former provincial ombudsman Stephen Owen. The fact that he is also a former federal Liberal MP may taint him in the eyes of some, but I think he’d be a credible choice. In any case, the special prosecutor system is not broken, not by a long shot. But it may need that tweaking to ensure its credibility survives in the long run.

trickiest moments was making the tight turn at the corner of Fourth Street and Second Avenue, which ended up involving the impromptu pruning of trees by on-hand city arbourists. The move was orchestrated by Nickel Brothers House Moving and the trailer itself guided by the steady hand of driver Gary Hands. Vallee said the final step, taking place around 6:30 a.m., was probably the hardest. “(Hands) had to back the whole thing down Oakland, which is really just a lane, and there were only a couple of inches between the house and a building next door. It was pretty amazing.” The change of address was authorized after city council granted his application under the heritage revitalization agreement that allowed for not only the move

itself, but also for a 672-square-foot addition to be built onto the back of the house. The agreement also allows for a reduction in the side yard setback in order to keep the home’s character-defining bay window and for a shortening of the front porch to allow the original design to be re-created. The Wadsworth’s previous location on Sixth Avenue is now zoned as commercial and will soon be redeveloped. Although Vallee was pleased with how everything went and hopes not too many new neighbours had their sleep interrupted, he said he wouldn’t want to attempt something similar any time soon. “It probably costed around $100,000 in total when you factor in everything from the Nickel Brothers’ fees, demolishing the previous house, permits etc.,” he said. “Hopefully I’ll be living there a long time.”

Minister defends decision

Access granted to B.C.’s representative for children and youth is ‘unprecedented’: Polak BY JENNIFER MOREAU REPORTER jmoreau@royalcityrecord.com

Children and Family Development Minister Mary Polak is defending her government’s move to bring in legislation restricting the use of cabinet documents by B.C.’s representative for children and youth. Representative Mary Ellen TurpelLafond is taking the government to court on May 13 over access to documents she says she needs to complete an audit of the Child in the Home of a Relative Program. Turpel-Lafond’s petition states the government failed to comply in its statutory duty to provide her with the requested documents. Polak said she’s happy to turn over the documents, as long as TurpelLafond signs a protocol that restricts their public release. “This isn’t about access. The representative (Turpel-Lafond) has access the same way that any independent officer would,” Polak said in an interview with The Record on Monday. “What the representative is seeking is the power to release materials at her discretion, and that’s a power that no other independent officer has.” Turpel-Lafond wants documents about changes made to the Child in the Home of a Relative Program, including any cabinet submission the ministry made to support the chan-

Late hours OK’d for work on park Work on the future Westminster Pier Park can go a little later than what’s normally allowed. Council has approved a construction noise bylaw variance to allow the hours of construction to be extended from June 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Council has agreed to allow construction to take place Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., rather than 8 p.m. as is permitted under city bylaws. A staff report noted that “multiple activities” will be taking place at the same time, including soil remediation and piling placement, so the city needs to gain more efficient use of equipment and resources. “If approved, this variance will effectively add 15 per cent to the work day, or almost one extra day per week which will better enable the project schedule to be met,” said a staff report. “The project manager will ensure that the contractor will be closely supervised with a view to minimizing noise during early morning and late evening hours.” tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

◗ MAKING A DIFFERENCE: VALERIE JOHNSON

Inspiring kids to reach new heights

Our Making a Difference series is introducing you to some of the unsung heroes in the city – the people who are making the community a better place by caring passionately about it. This week, Alfie Lau talks to Valerie Johnson, a recreation programmer for the City of New Westminster.

Judy Pearce has many reasons to thank Valerie Johnson. Johnson has spent the last four decades coordinating the gymnastics and trampoline program out of Queen’s Park Arenex, and Pearce remembers when she was one of the kids lucky enough to fall under Johnson’s tutelage. “She has moulded many young people into being team players and has given them confidence to succeed into adulthood,” said Pearce. “She is an amazing human ALFIE LAU being and one the city should feel proud to have as a citizen. She has been such a good influence on so many people, and she deserves to be recognized.”

LOCAL HEROES

Q: What is your name and title? A: My name is Valerie Johnson, and I am a recreation programmer for the City of New Westminster. I was also one of the people who helped start up the Shasta Trampoline Club in 1975. Q: What’s the best part of your job? A: To see kids grow and develop within the program has been very fulfilling. All of my instructors started in the program themselves, and it’s great to see them come full circle and help promote the same philosophy of getting fit and participating.

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

‘There’s no reason to stop’: Valerie Johnson is a recreation programmer for the City of New Westminster and also helped to start up the Shasta Trampoline Club in 1975.

A: This was my first job. Back when I was 16, I started as an instructor, and I just kept on teaching more classes and taking on more responsibilities before it became my full-time job.

Clearing out the clutter for a good cause AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

ichelle Panzlaff is accustomed to helping people

clear out clutter, but she’s switching gears for a good cause and seeking donations of household items. Panzlaff, who runs the New Westminsterbased business Tidy Tiger Solutions, is holding a charity drive for household items on May 15 and 16. All donations will be passed along to Gather and Give, a Christian non-

profit charity that works with the poor in Metro Vancouver and partners with more than 100 agencies to provide essential goods. Panzlaff learned about the Gather and Give charity while attending another event. The non-profit group accepts donations of kitchen, bath, bedding and other household products.

“They gather it together,” she said. “They make home essential kits for people who may be in need.” People will be able to drop off their donations in the centre court of 210 11th St. on Saturday, May 15 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday, May 16 from 1 to 4 p.m. Gather and Give

appreciates donations of gently used or new donations of household items, such as pots and pans, dishes, utensils, cutlery, dish cloths, pot holders, oven mitts, alarm clocks, towels, sheet sets, pillows and blankets. Items such as winter jackets, gloves, scarves, toiletries, socks and underwear are also welcomed.

In addition to collecting donations for Gather and Give, Michelle is also assembling some friends who are in the business of helping people clean and organize their homes. They’ll be on hand to answer questions. For more information about the charity drive, go to www.tidytiger.biz. ◗Around Town Page 13

Around Town: Contest helping to ﬁnd a name for newly built boat ◗ continued from page 11

Name the boat

The Fraser River Discovery Centre is inviting residents to help build and name an 18-foot Fraser River skiff. Through Build-a-Boat: Wooden Boat Building on the Fraser, volunteers and visitors are building the boat in the gallery. The builders have completed the frame, and they have begun work on the planks. “Since this is a community building project, we wanted to have the community’s ideas for boat names,” said Kathleen Bertrand, exhibit and com-

munication coordinator. “A boat-naming contest seemed perfect.” Once the boat is complete it will be on display in the Discovery Centre. Boat building will continue every Saturday into the spring. “Every week, we are getting closer and closer to finishing,” Bertrand said. “If you’ve been meaning to come down, you don’t have too many weeks left.” Boat naming ballot forms are available at the Discovery Centre; suggestions are also welcomed on the Discovery Centre’s Facebook page. The contest winner will

receive a prize pack with an annual family pass to the Fraser River Discovery Centre and five family passes to any City of New Westminster parks, culture and recreation facility. Fraser River Discovery Centre has also launched a call for artists for a photography exhibit opening in September entitled, *click* Photos of the Fraser. The photos submitted will be displayed online and selected images will be installed in the galleries. *click* Photos of the Fraser will open during the centre’s annual Artists on the River festival in September. More informa-

tion about the contest is available at www.fraser riverdiscovery.org. Fraser River Discovery Centre is located at 788 Quayside Dr. It’s is open Wednesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and admission rates apply for the galleries.

Help for health

The Group of Five (and Friends) is holding a garden-themed luncheon to raise funds to buy a new piece of equipment for Royal Columbian Hospital. The group, which consists of Mary Lou Chesman, Shirley Piper, Alana McIntyre, Marion

Osterman, Jennifer Peyton, Helen Bodner and Gerda Suess, is holding a fundraising luncheon on Friday, May 14 at the Old Bavaria Haus, 233 Sixth St., from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. In addition to a threecourse garden-themed lunch, people will also be able to purchase containers with plants, garden accessories, picnic baskets and gift baskets with a garden theme – with everything priced at $20. A garden specialist will be on hand to answer horticulture questions, and bedding plants will also be sold. The Group of Five

(and Friends) is working to buy a “pressure monitor,” which is a device that helps monitor how much pressure blood is putting on a muscle and can be used by various departments at the hospital. The group seeks to raise money to buy items for Royal Columbian Hospital that are needed but are not being funded. For more information about the May 14 fundraiser, call Gerda Suess at 604-522-7196 or e-mail groupof5society@hotmail. com. Send Around Town ideas to tmcmanus@royalcityrecord .com.

Making a difference: Former competitive athlete found a way to give back ◗ continued from page 11

Q: How did you get involved with Shasta? A: I was a competitive athlete myself, and this was a chance for me to give back. I won the nationals in 1971, ‘72 and ‘73, and I competed in the worlds in 1972 and 1974. I had gotten so much out of trampolining and this was a way I could give back. Q: What are your duties with Shasta? A: Right now, I coach

45 kids four times a week, and it’s about 12 hours a week. We just came back from the Pan American championships in Florida, where we had 11 kids come back with nine medals, five of them gold. We’ll have 13 kids going to the Canadian championships in Kamloops in May, and in June, we have six kids eligible for the IndoPacific championships in Japan. That team will be announced … and I’m hoping our kids are part of

that team. Q: What’s the best part about working with Shasta? A: I really enjoy working with the different age groups and personalities. You see how the kids grow from when they start at six, and I’ve got some who are 28. I want to be able to help them get as high as they can go and compete at as high a level as their talent will take them.

Q: Last question, what’s your guilty junk food pleasure? A: I don’t really have

much junk food, but, for a guilty pleasure, Starbucks coffee will do it all for me. Do you know someone

BEST offer solutions to car addiction

Interested in learning about how cutting down on your driving can help cut down the spare tire around your stomach while padding your wallet at the same time? Stop by the New Westminster Public Library tomorrow (May 13) at 7:30 p.m. for a free presentation by Better Environmentally Sound Transportation to find out all about the so-called “AutoObesity” epidemic and what you can do to help stop it. Roughly 85 percent of Lower Mainland households own a car, and over half of those own two or more. With personal motor vehicles belching out greenhouse gases while gobbling up close to 20 per cent of most household budgets, there’s never been a better time to try out BEST’s car diet solution. The program supports long-term behaviour change by helping people fight car addiction by addressing not just the

environmental aspect of car use, but also the social, financial and health components. When people are shown how getting rid of that second and third vehicle will save them money, cut air pollution, make their streets safer for children while also helping them them a bit healthier, it can often become an easy choice to donate a vehicle to charity. In exchange, households will receive a charitable tax receipt for the full value of the car, access to driving credits in the Coop Auto Network, personalized transportation planning services and other incentives such as bicycles, ebikes, and transit tickets or passes. If AutoObesity can be considered a disease, the BEST car diet is part of the cure. Visit www.best.bc.ca or call 604-6692860 for more information.

Poster earns honours

FIND A HOME NOW! 604 526.2888

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster Secondary student Krista Gibbard was one of three winners in a Teens Against Gangs poster contest. The Vancouver Sun and the Gang Task Force chose her work from among 300 entries, and now Krista, and the two other students, will have their winning posters mass produced for distribution to schools and community centres throughout B.C. Neil Gibbard, Krista’s father, said he’s “inordinately proud” of his daughter’s accomplishment. “I’m crazy about all of her artwork,” he said, then laughed, adding, “Do I have a choice?” Krista’s poster played on a common children’s book theme, showing various people doing different jobs like doctor, astronaut and builder. Then she has a hooded gangster, his back showing with handcuffs on. “I am really excited that I won, but mostly I remember why I made this poster,” she said. Gang life has been glamourized in the media, especially in music videos and video games, Krista said. But the reality is that youth have to understand the risks and reality of gang life. “It is really not a career option,” said the Grade 12 student, who is heading to Emily Carr University in the fall with a full scholarship. The other winners are Douglas Scandrett, from Elgin Park Secondary in South Surrey, and Budimir Markovic, of North Van’s Sutherland Secondary. Sun editor-in-chief Patricia Graham said it was a tough choice to select just three from the dozens of creative submissions.

have a theory about celebrity relationships. Of course, celebrity gossip is an industry in itself with tabloids, newspapers, radio and TV shows keeping us up to date with the latest on the greatest. Who’s in rehab? Who is sleeping with whom? Who has been pulled over for driving while intoxicated? Who has caused a scene in a club? We seem to be fascinated by the real-life private drama of our public figures – musicians, politicians and actors. They are like the Greek gods: powerful, legendary but fallible and emotional like the rest of us. But celebrity relationships seem more likely than ours to be short-lived, and I wonder if that is because the very famous don’t really know who they are. When Brad Pitt first met Angelina Jolie, did he see the real person behind the look, the image and the history? When he looks in

you, what do they see? Your gender and your age. Your height and your build. The colour of your hair, your eyes and your skin. Your ethnicity and your language. Your clothes and your shoes. People make snap judgments about the inner you based on these outward features. And how others see and categorize you can constrain you. How you see yourself constrains you all the more. Having shared the intimate secrets of my patients – listening to their dreams and visions and helping them with their personal struggles, I withhold any judgment based on outward appearances. There is more to us beneath the surface, perhaps more than we have discovered ourselves. Take a look in the mirror. Who do you see? Do you think the world or you yourself has constrained your potential by limiting you by assumptions and generalizations based on your outward appearance?

the mirror, does he see the image we see in movies and magazines or his true self? Politicians and performers invest a lot in the creation and maintenance of their public image, but beneath the polished masks, they are normal human beings who act and speak in ways that would surprise us. When two famous people meet and fall in love, have they really met the private individuals behind the public masks? Or are they really in love with their personae, their polished public images? They may be disappointed to discover that they are living with someone quite different than advertised. They may have difficulty relating to one another as regular human beings with excessive wealth and in the public eye. And a celebrity may have difficulty identifying himself or herself beneath the public façade. But us regular folks can have just as much trouble identifying our true selves. We too wear masks. We wear one at work, another in the public and another at home. Do we shed our masks when we look in the mirror? When others first see

Jason Lang/THE RECORD

Surprise loss: Burnaby Lake forward Corrine Jacobsen takes the ball into contact in a 21-0 upset loss to Capilano in the premier women’s rugby semiﬁnal match at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-East last Saturday. The seventh consecutive appearance in the playoffs proved unlucky for the undefeated league champs.

United to ﬁnals in women’s rugby United Rugby Club made it to the final of the B.C. women’s premier rugby championships with a come-from-behind 16-15 semifinal win over the Meralomas. Raeann Galuska booted a pair of penalty goals, the winning threepointer coming on the final whistle. United fought back from a sevenpoint deficit in the last five minutes to earn the berth into the champion-

ship finals. Leading 8-5 at half-time on a try from Crystal Nikolai and a penalty from Galuska, United gave up a pair of tries in the second half while playing a player short due to a yellowcard offence. But when United got back to full strength, Lisa O’Neill barged across the line for a try with little time remaning.

Following the kickoff, secondrow forward Brittany Freitag got possession and burst downfield for 40 metres, setting the stage for Galuska’s game-winning kick. United also won a women’s second division semifinal 25-0 over Capilano. Yvonne Lai, Lexi McKinnon, Karli Coupland and Sam Maddalozzo all scored tries for United.

Lakers are young, and they’ll run BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

While many eyes are watching to see if first overall draft pick Kevin Crowley will make an appearance, incoming Burnaby Lakers head coach Bob Johnston already likes what he’s seeing. “I’m focused on here, and what is here is pretty good,” said Johnston. “Actually we’ve had a great training camp and everyone is working really hard.” Aside from Crowley, who is currently still caught up in NCAA Division I field lacrosse championships following a three-goal performance in the America East conference final last weekend, Johnston is bullish on this season’s rookies. First-round picks Dane Stevens and Shaun

Dhaliwal, third-rounder Eric Sage from Victoria and Port Coquitlam’s Scott Davidson, who went to the Lakers early in the fifth round, have all had strong camps, Johnston said. Second-round pick Trevor Moore is currently coming off his junior year at Robert Morris University, where he led the Div. 1 field lacrosse squad with 60 points, including 35 goals. He is expected to be in Laker green soon. Rory McDade, who missed all last season with injury, will be ready for the season opener this Friday against last year’s league champion New Westminster Salmonbellies at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. Bryan Safarik and Scott Janssen, who both finished last season with injuries, are also back in camp.

Kerry Susheski, who did not play last season, has been out to practice this spring and is expected to play. Scott Lowe, who shouldered much of the goaltending chores last season in his rookie debut, will likely start in the Burnaby goal. Pro players Tom Johnson and Cam Sedgwick, who will lead the Washington Stealth into the National Lacrosse League final this Saturday against the Toronto Rock, are both on the coach’s wait-and-see list. “We’ll see,” Johnston said. “If Sedgwick isn’t there, it will change things. I’d like to have him on the floor all the time.” He’d also like Sedgwick, a Minto Cup MVP in 1998, in the lineup for his experience. “It’s a young team. You

can really tell that we’re pretty young. We could also use the leadership,” Johnston added. But with anywhere from 20 to 30 players out for the three-a-week practices, Johnston has lots of options to sort out. He says, as many as five rookies could make the squad this season in what he described as a competitive camp. “I’m excited to see what these guys do because they’re really good. There are a lot of guys in the mix. There’s a lot of good competition,” he said. And what about the competition ahead of the Lakers in their season home opener? Johnston says there is no better way to start than to “get right after’em.” Game time for Friday’s matchup at the Copeland centre is 7:45 p.m.
