Programs to switch schools

Throwing out the first pitch Cameron Cooledge on the pitcher’s mound.

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

The New Westminster board of education unanimously endorsed a staff report that recommended moving Montessori and early French immersion from two schools that currently house the popular programs. The district will move Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary’s Montessori program to Connaught Heights Elementary. The early French immersion program at John Robson would go to Lord Kelvin Elementary. The programs would be moved in approximately 2012, the report says. The district began reviewing whether to move French immersion and Montessori from the elementary schools that currently house the popular programs last fall. “I think it was a really thorough process, (which) gave people lots of chances to say what they think,” said board of education chair James Janzen. “Tweedsmuir is a triple-track school, and it’s a really big school and we wanted to take care of that.” A handful of Montessori parents from Tweedsmuir pleaded with trustees last month to keep the program at Tweedsmuir. They felt a move could “kill” the program. Instead, trustees have opted to support the report, which called for the district to keep early French immersion and the “regular” school program at Tweedsmuir but move Montessori. Tweedsmuir Montessori parents said Connaught is too small and hard to reach. They were concerned that kids would have to cross 20th Street to get to the school and said the move would hurt their ability to raise money. While the Montessori parents didn’t want their program moved, most Connaught parents welcome Montessori at their school, according to a district report.

Saving old tower shocks groups Proponents of demolition say they aren’t giving up BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Some groups that participated in the public process to determine the fate of the Centre Block tower at the former Woodlands site are still reeling from council’s decision to retain the tower. On Monday, council voted 4-3 in favour of retaining the tower as a commemorative ruin. Council also directed staff to consider reuse of the tower for a purpose that benefits former residents and/or the community. Faith Bodnar, executive director of the B.C. Association for Community Living, was shocked by council’s decision but appreciative of council members who voted in keeping with the majority of people who offered input in the consultation process.

“We entered in that consultation process and supported it in good faith,” she said. “We were willing to accept what came out of it.” The B.C. Association for Community Living strongly wanted the Centre Block tower demolished, so it debated on whether to participate in the city’s process. It ultimately decided to participate and accept the wishes of the majority of people consulted. Bodnar said the results were “unequivocal” in their support for demolishing the remaining portion of the building. “We can’t let it go,” she said about council’s decision. Bodnar said council’s decision is a “serious betrayal” of the community consultation process, and for some, another example of being devalued. Council’s decision went against a staff recommendation that the tower be deconstructed and a garden be built in its place. Ninety-five per cent of people who par-

ticipated in the city’s consultation process supported demolition. Bodnar said that passing the Centre Block building on SkyTrain can trigger a post-traumatic stress reaction for some former residents. Although not all the people who worked at Woodlands were bad, she said some terrible things occurred at the school. “They have a physical reaction to it,” she said. “It isn’t about blocking it from their memory.” Bodnar said she can’t understand the city’s desire to retain the tower. She said the social and architectural history of the building can’t be separated. “They are intertwined,” she said. “It is very evident they are, from Dulcie McCallum’s report, right to the testimony survivors have given from their life there.” (In 2001, former provincial ombudsman Dulcie McCallum wrote a report, The Need

REVIEW OF COUNCIL REMUNERATION POLICY An open delegation period to discuss the proposed update to Council’s Remuneration will be held in Council Chambers during a Regular meeting of Council on May 17, 2010 at 7:00pm. In accordance with the City’s Council Remuneration Policy, every three years the City undertakes a review of Council’s stipend with full public review to set Council’s base compensation level for the next three years. Council’s remuneration is determined by a mathematical formula that uses remuneration data from several Metro Vancouver municipalities and economic indicators. The formula calculates a minimum and maximum increase. Historically, Council has tried to maintain an annual remuneration rate close to the Metro Vancouver average. The results are as follows:

Mayor Council

Current Rate $81,987 $31,534

Metro Avg. $86,878 $34,089

2010 Increase Range Minimum Maximum $76,064 $97,693 $28,205 $39,973

Proposed Council Remuneration Policy Changes The following changes are proposed to the Council Remuneration Policy: • Remuneration will be increased within the 2010 range outlined above • The method for calculating annual remuneration between the three year policy reviews has been revised to better reflect annual economic indicators and market trends • Councillors will receive health benefits equal to those received by exempt staff • Mayor and Councillors will receive a separation allowance upon their departure from office Copies of the Council Remuneration Report, revised policy document and comment sheet will be available on the City’s website and for pickup in the Human Resources Department, City Hall, 511 Royal Avenue during regular business hours beginning Monday, May 3, 2010. Comments regarding this matter are due by May 14, 2010 and may be forwarded in writing to Joan Burgess, Director of Human Resources, by mail, fax (604-527-4619) or email (hr@newwestcity.ca).

A CLOSER LOOK ◗ BRYAN BRAUMBERGER – MISSING SINCE JUNE 1, 2007

‘For us, it’s like a twilight zone...’

It’s an overcast Monday morning, and the living room is dark in Ron Braumberger’s quiet Cariboo Heights home. But even if the sun came out, there would still be little light in the life of the Burnaby sawmill worker. It’s been almost three years since Ron and his wife, Janice, had just returned home from a vacation in Reno when they found out their 18-year-old son, Bryan, had disappeared, seemingly without a trace. The day was June 1, 2007, and Bryan’s abandoned car was found in the George Derby Centre parking lot. Bryan hadn’t shown up for work, and he hasn’t been heard from since. He was last seen in a New Westminster church parking lot. “For us, it’s like a twilight zone, and we’re in limbo because we don’t know what’s A special report happened to Bryan,” by said Ron, who said Alfie Lau his older son, Trevor, is also affected by Photographs by Bryan’s disappearance. “We live with Larry Wright this every day. We wake up with it, we go to sleep with it, but nothing’s changed … We still don’t know what happened to Bryan.” During the course of a 30-minute interview with The Record, Ron’s emotions run the gamut from disappointment to hope, but one thing doesn’t change: He hasn’t given up on his younger son, who would be 21 right now. “I have to keep hope alive that he’s still alive,” said Ron. “Only in the back of my mind, a small part in the back of mind, do I think he’s dead. … It’s only a very small part.” For Ron, talking to the media isn’t easy, but it’s something he wants to do if it can help his family find their missing son. “It’s very hard. Every day when I watch

Keeping hope alive: Ron Braumberger has spent three years waiting for more information about his missing son, Bryan. Bryan disappeared on June 1, 2007, and his family continues to hold out hope he will return alive. Ron has a ﬂyer with Bryan’s information on his car, and he regularly replaces old faded ﬂyers in the Cariboo Hill area. the news or read the paper and they’ve found a body in the river or there’s a body in an abandoned car, I get a pit in my stomach,” said Ron. “We try to do things as normal as possible, but there’s always that part of us waiting for news about Bryan.” Ron tries not to dwell on the negative when he talks about Bryan, but little snip-

pets of regret do come out. “We don’t go on vacations anymore,” he said, referencing the Reno vacation when they found out Bryan was missing. “It would be so hard for us to enjoy ourselves. “I don’t dream any more. I know it’s kind of weird, but that’s not something I

do any more.” Perhaps the toughest moments come with the everyday, routine things in the Braumberger house. Trevor still lives in the spacious basement, but now he has a dog to keep him company. To keep some semblance of sanity, Ron ◗Bryan Page 5

Dad: ‘Somebody knows something’

The Bryan Braumberger story goes back to May 31, 2007, when he went to a friend’s house in New Westminster, to watch TV and play video games. Because there was no street parking for Bryan’s red 1998 Honda CRX, the 6-0, 185pound Cariboo Hill Secondary graduate parked his car next door at a church lot on Eighth Avenue. The last confirmed sighting of Bryan was just after midnight, when his friends walked him to his car after they had finished playing video games. Bryan told them he had to go home because he had to get up for work in the morning. The drive from New Westminster to

the Braumberger home should have taken less than 10 minutes, but there was no evidence Braumberger made it back home. A witness later reported seeing Bryan’s car in the vicinity of Austin Avenue and Marmont Street in Coquitlam, but the witness couldn’t confirm if it was Bryan driving the car. On June 1, Bryan’s abandoned car was found in the staff parking lot of the George Derby Centre. The police did not suspect anything was amiss, so they ordered the vehicle towed, leaving a phone message on the Braumberger answering machine. When Janice and Ron arrived home

from Reno later that day, they picked up the message and started investigating. They soon learned that Bryan had never made it to work that day. They also contacted his friends, but none of them knew where Bryan was. When forensic investigators searched Bryan’s car, they did not find any indication of a struggle. There wasn’t any blood inside the car. Bryan’s identification was found inside, but his keys were missing. When investigators checked Bryan’s bank account, they learned that there had been no recent activity. “Somebody knows something,” said Ron. “Somebody had a part in Bryan’s

disappearance. … We just want them to come forward, it can be anonymously, it can be through a phone call or a letter, but somebody knows something.” Ron keeps laminated posters with Bryan’s information in his car and he posts them on telephone poles in the Cariboo Hill area. When they fade, he puts up new posters. Anybody with information on Bryan Braumberger’s disappearance can contact the RCMP at 1-877-543-9217, or to remain anonymous, CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477). The Missing Children Society of Canada is also accepting tips. Call 1-800661-6160 or e-mail tips@mcsc.ca.

A CLOSER LOOK ◗ BRYAN BRAUMBERGER

Vanished: Ron Braumberger is still awaiting word of his missing son, Bryan, who disappeared on June 1, 2007. Bryan was last seen in New Westminster.

has kept his season tickets to the B.C. Lions – 20 years is how long he’s had the tickets – but even that’s tough because he used to take his sons to games. Thankfully, a close friend has made sure that Ron always has company during those games. The family’s work schedules are also very interesting. Because Ron works a late shift, 3 p.m. to midnight, he has most of the morning and afternoon to himself. More importantly, Janice and Trevor, who work regular day shifts, don’t see him for the entire evening. “I worry for her, probably as much as she worries about me,” said Ron. “The one thing I will say is we have supported each other so much ever since (Bryan disappeared). We’re in this together, we’re going through this together.” While Ron and A special report Janice find support from each other and by son Trevor, it’s not so Alfie Lau easy with friends and acquaintances. Photographs by “I know it’s been almost three years Larry Wright and people’s lives go on, but for us, it’s still taking place,” said Ron. “We find a lot of people we talk to find it hard to mention it or not mention it, but sometimes I wish people would acknowledge it more. It is the big elephant in the room. … I know it’s hard, but we don’t want people to forget that Bryan is still missing.” Ron said he hasn’t heard from the RCMP in more than 18 months, and there hasn’t been any news since September 2007, when the police took down their command centre in the George Derby Centre parking lot. “I don’t blame the police,” he said. “What are they going to tell me if there’s no new developments? … They can’t do something with nothing. … I do know that if something comes up, they’ll call us first.” Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk, media spokesperson for the Burnaby RCMP, said missing persons cases stay open indefinitely and an officer does periodic checks on the case to make sure that any leads are followed up on. “I can’t imagine how hard it is for the family to not know what happened to their son,” said Gresiuk. “What I can say is if we have any new information that helps the case move forward, we will contact the family.” After Bryan’s disappearance, the family, through the Missing Children Society of Canada, put up a $30,000 reward for

We’ve had the best of the best in the police, from their serious crimes unit to IHIT tell us this is something that only comes up every seven or eight years, a case that just baffles them because there are no leads, nothing that helps them.” One thing Ron knows in his heart is that Bryan didn’t run away. “We’ve kept his car (the red 1998 CRX) in the garage,” said Ron. “I know how much work he did, putting in a new motor, transmission and sound system in that car. … If he had run away, that car would be gone as well.” While there are no easy days, there are tougher ones for the Braumberger family. “June 1 is hard, Bryan’s birthday of Aug. 14 is hard, and so are Trevor’s birthday and Christmas,” said Ron. “There’s a lot more hard days than you can ever imagine.” When the third anniversary of Bryan’s disappearance does come on June 1, Ron knows exactly what he’ll be doing. “I spend the morning doing media stuff because that’s a chance to get Bryan’s story out, and hopefully something comes out of it,” he said. “And by the afternoon, Janice and I go away for a hike. … We’ve gone to Squamish or Buntzen Lake in the past. … We’ll just go away and be by ourselves.”

It’s official: All we are getting is a Westminster Pier Porch Park, … and it’s also official that the city is not going to demolish all of the old pier but will leave all of the pier upriver of the parkade a rotting mess. But what’s even more disturbing is that the Westminster Pier Park brownfield site has rivers of toxic materials flowing through it, including uranium. The city had to send its plans for our porch park to a group called FREMP (Fraser River Estuary Management Plan), which coordinates all of the reviews of the project. The city’s April 9th report to FREMP states, with respect to the park size: “The City of New Westminster envisions that Phase 1 will involve construction of the western 50 per cent of the park development.” When you look at the map of Phase 1, you see we

get the “porch” but not the “living room” with the large community gathering area. The city’s report to FREMP states, with respect to the demolition of only part of the old dilapidated pier: “In Phase 1, only that portion of the timber piers that requires removal for the Phase 1 construction will be demolished.” So, all those city promises for a “porch” and a “living room” were an exaggeration, as were the promises that all of the old pier would be removed and all of the new pier infrastructure installed. Remember the city’s line about being able to launch your kayak from the pier and dip your feet into the gently swirling waters of the Fraser River? How about this new city promo line for the pier: “Come picnic with your family at Westminster Pier Porch Park while your genes mutate. Bask in the greenish unnatural light of the heritage glow pile forest! Dip your toes into the raging Fraser River as three-eyed mutant salmon swim by!” The city’s report to FREMP states, with respect

Concentrations of these parameters exceeded British Columbia Contaminated Sites Regulations’ numerical standards.” Let’s see: Uranium flowing through our new park … should we be worried about this? I’m certainly avoiding the Westminster Pier Porch Park’s possibly radioactive lands for the next while – at least without a dosimeter pinned to my jacket. Christopher Bell, New Westminster

Floathomes are a real deal

Dear Editor:

I always knew that my living style was unique, but I had no idea the media didn’t know about it. I refer of course to The Record’s Our View article April 28 (Royal City real estate is still a good deal), and your front-page article April 24, about house prices in New Westminster. To the best of my knowledge, there are a number of homes in this area that value under $500,000, and all of them are waterfront. A quick search of the Internet can easily find float homes at $100,000 and less, and they are not shabby half-sunk wrecks either. I even bought one that measures 20 by 16 feet (with a loft) four years ago for $14,000, and, no, there is not a zero missing from that figure. Although livable at the time, a little TLC restored it to a lovely and affordable one-bedroom waterfront home. The City of New Westminster, the province and the federal government do little to promote this unique and thoroughly wonderful lifestyle and instead place severe limits on their existence. Seattle used to have the same underval-

ued market until a movie with Tom Hanks skyrocketed these unique homes to greater value both commercially and as a tourist attraction. Victoria’s inner harbour has done much the same thing. Sleepless in New Westminster, anyone? Gavin Wishart, New Westminster

Let’s ‘humanize’ traffic Dear Editor:

Here’s the scoop. Recently while walking on the south sidewalk on Sixth Avenue, just west of Eighth Street, my husband and I were almost mowed down by someone who swerved into the sidewalk to avoid another car. Thank goodness the height of the sidewalk prevented this woman’s car from killing us both. You have a children’s pool, a park, a seniors’ centre and soon a youth centre, not to mention the ball park and soccer fields, and that is probably one of the worst intersections in the city. I think it’s far beyond time we looked at changing the rules. People in cars are potential killers. At a high pedestrian location like Eighth Street and Sixth Avenue, the speed must be reduced to reflect a recognition of the importance of life over income. People rush by to get whatever it is people in cars are rushing by to get, and it’s at the expense of safety and life quality. I’m constantly telling people at that corner to be careful. I’m constantly asking mothers talking on their cellphones or just talking to keep their children closer to them as the drivers swerve around those corners with little regard for life. I’m not a frail old lady, and I walk miles most days, and that is one of the most dangerous corners I’ve run into because of the volume of traffic and the number of pedestrians. Rather than make the community less human, let’s humanize the traffic. Slow it down, please.

by enlisting the expertise of doctors David Kuhl and Marv Westwood, coleaders of the UBC/Royal Canadian Legion Veteran’s Transition Program. The program explores the psychological effects of being a soldier or peacekeeper in areas of conflict and how many struggle to live with the horrors they’ve seen, and even worse, the things they had to do to protect themselves and fellow soldiers. Like my friend’s son, many feel guilty for having survived. According

to a recent study by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, in the past 25 years, suicide was the third leading cause of death for members of the Canadian military after motor vehicle accidents and cancer. Not only do many young veterans and emergency responders not realize they’re suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, there’s also often a family involved who doesn’t understand the psychological changes in their loved one.

Vander Zalm hosts forum in Royal City AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

ormer premier Bill Vander Zalm will be hosting a public forum in New Westminster next week as part of his campaign to stop the harmonized sales tax.

The anti-HST campaigner will be hosting a public forum at the Sapperton Pensioners Hall, 318 Keary St., on Tuesday, May 4. Canvassers will be on site collecting signatures for the petition campaign beginning at 6 p.m. and the meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. “This will be a great opportunity for registered voters living in New Westminster to sign the official initiative petition to stop the HST,” said

local spokesperson Tania Jarzebiak. “We’ll be collecting signatures at the hall beginning at 6 p.m., right through the meeting until 9 o’clock.” Jarzebiak said the meeting will also give residents a chance to ask questions and learn more about the Fight HST campaign, both here in New Westminster and across the province. In addition to canvassers collecting signatures door-todoor and at busy locations around town, the petition

can be found at the following locations: Greens & Beans Deli Café, 143 East Columbia St., Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and Coming Home Café, 753 Sixth St. – May 1 and 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and starting May 5, Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The wine is fine

Harm Woldring has good news for his customers. “None of your wine

is in jeopardy,” said the owner of the Wine Factory, which is located at the corner of Sixth Street and Fourth Avenue. “We are fully insured.” Woldring was referring to the hole in the roof of his business. According to Woldring, roofers started punching a hole through the roof on Friday afternoon (April 23), but they didn’t finish the job. When a rainstorm hit later that evening, the inside of the Wine Factory sustained

major water damage. Meanwhile, Brer Rabbit Printing, which shares the space beside the Wine Factory, also suffered damage from the water coming through the gaping hole. “The walls are waterdamaged, and it’s a bit messy in here with all the plastic covering and the dehumidifiers going,” said Woldring. Woldring expects damages to be “a couple hundred thousand dollars,” ◗Town Page 12

but with five separate insurance companies involved it may take some time to get everything settled. “I hope to be back open on a limited basis by Monday (May 3),” said Woldring. “I hope to be able to be bottling wine again by Monday.”

Biking with heart

It’s that time of year again when the Big Bike rolls into town. As part of the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s annual fundraiser, teams from various organizations will ride the multi-seated bike through uptown New Westminster. This year’s ride takes to the streets on Monday, May 3, starting at 10 a.m. Teams scheduled to participate in this year’s

fundraiser include TD Canada Trust, Starlight Casino, Canadian Auto Workers, Curves, Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Health (drug use optimization). Joan Mann, area manager of the Heart and Stroke Foundation for the B.C. and Yukon, notes that the Ministry of Transportation team includes a 96-year-old woman, who came out to see her daughter participate three years ago and has participated every year since. New to this year’s event is the team from the Canadian Auto Workers.

Harper would like to see the green cones offered to residents at a subsidized rate. “We do the subsidized program now for regular composters,” he noted. “We want to see that they work, the way they work.” Although commercial operators in the city don’t have recycling services, Harper believes the green cones could have implications for restaurants. “Just

We love mom

Mother’s Day History celebrated Every May women around the world are celebrated for their sacriﬁces and contributions to the family. With all that Mom does for her children, it would seem like the concept of honoring her would be ages old. However, it really wasn’t until relatively recently that a celebration of mothers was instituted. In ancient Greece individuals honored Rhea, mother of the gods. Christians also celebrated Mary the mother of God. But it wasn’t until the 1900s before the general mothering population was celebrated in earnest. Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis was a young Appalachian homemaker who, beginning

in 1858, attempted to improve sanitation and nursing procedures through women’s clubs and what she called “Mothers Friendship Day.” It wasn’t Anne Marie, but rather her daughter, Ann Jarvis, who created the Mother’s Day that we celebrate today. Anna spent many years caring for her aging and ailing mother. Anne Marie died on May 9, 1905 and Anna missed her terribly. Anna noticed that many children failed to respect and honor their mothers while they were alive, and it wasn’t until after they died that these children recognized what they had lost in their parent. She intended to start a Mother’s Day to honor mothers.

In 1907, Anna Jarvis attempted to establish Mother’s Day to “honor mothers, living and dead.” She started the campaign to establish a national Mother’s Day. Together with her friends, Jarvis started a letter-writing campaign to urge ministers, businessmen and congressmen to declare a national Mother’s Day holiday. Her efforts paid off. The ﬁrst Mother’s Day was celebrated on May 10, 1908 and honored the late Anne Marie Reeves Jarvis. After this initial celebration, Mother’s Day caught on. The Mother’s Day International Association was established on December 12, 1912, to promote and encourage meaningful obser-

Yoga Moms Have Pushed Soccer Moms to the Sidelines

from Sandy’s

Many women are trading in their team jerseys for yoga mats. The busy soccer mom has transformed into the calm and ethereal yoga mom who is more interested in a stressfree life than racing around

to sports practices. For a long time the stereotypical image of a mom was a minivandriving, 40-something picking up Timmy from sports practice and Jenny from cheerleading. Her

fast-paced lifestyle had her racing between kids’ engagements to home to other social obligations in a harried, time-pressed manner. But today you’re more likely to see mom practicing her asanas instead of toting clipboards and team snacks.

Athlete singing the Blues First in family to commit in sports BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Rachael Sider is following in a long tradition of University of Toronto Blues. The New Westminster Secondary School athlete committed earlier this year to the U of T, but the Grade 12 student/athlete will be the first in the family to the affiliated with a Varsity Blues sports team. Sider, who helped high school Hyacks to a seventh-place finish at the recent B.C. AAA girls’ championships, will play next September on the Blues’ women’s basketball team. Her mother and father and three other family relations all attended Toronto in academics. “The opportunity to play basketball in Toronto was amazing, said Sider, who fell in love with the park-like setting and heritage feel of Canada’s largest university in the heart of the city. “They have a very good English program there, but besides the academics, if I wasn’t going to stay in B.C., I knew it had to be gorgeous, and (University of) Toronto is beautiful.” Although the honour roll athlete played most of her high school hoop career for the Hyacks under the bucket, rebounding and posting up, the 5-10 forward hopes to play more of a perimeter role when she earns playing time at the collegiate level. “I am hoping to have the opportunity to play more of a wing position. … There will be some taller players there so it will be easier to play outside

But it will be nice to have a different challenge going up the ladder.” The Blues finished

sixth in the East Division of the Ontario conference with an 11-11 record but had some playoff success, knocking off third-place Queen’s University in the quarter-finals. Sider also ran crosscountry, track and field and played tennis on the

high school team this year. “It’s going to be hard, but I’m lucky I have family in Toronto and in parts of Ontario,” Sider added. “But I think it will be a good experience for me to get away and do my own thing for a while.”

Club centre taken 19th by WHL Giants

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Burnaby’s Anthony Ast was taken in the first round by the Vancouver Giants in the Western Hockey League bantam draft Thursday. Ast, a Grade 9 Burnaby South Secondary student, got the news as he was just walking out the door Thursday morning. “My first thought was, ‘Wow, I never thought I would be playing for them.’ They were always my No. 1 team to go to,” said Ast. “I thought it was too good to be true when I

heard.” Vancouver traded down with the Tri-City Americans to take the 59 170-pound Burnaby Winter Club centre with its 19th overall pick in the draft. Tri-City took goalie Eric Comrie from Edmonton with the 13th pick. Winter club captain Joseph Carvalho was picked up in the fourth round, 73rd overall, by Prince George, while another club defenceman Bo Pellah went in the sixth round to the Spokane Chiefs. Saskatchewan native Alex Forsberg was the No. 1 overall pick

of the Prince George Cougars in this year’s player lottery. When Ast finally got to school, he found the news had spread and kids were coming up to him and telling him things like they would be buying season tickets to the Giants to come watch him play. “It was kind of a cool feeling. I’ve never had people say that to me before,” he said. But before that happens, Ast is more likely to get his feet wet in the B.C. major midget hockey league, probably with the Greater Vancouver Canadians club.

CAREER COACH 3 Tips for Success During Lay-off

This article is by Deb Little, Guest Columnist, Wellness Coach and Career Development Advisor.

Deb Little It is surprising how quickly we become comfortable with the routine and security of a steady job. It may not be your dream job, or it may be. It is definitely a job that meets certain needs like, paying the mortgage or rent, putting food on the table, putting money away for your kid’s college education, or just for a rainy day. Imagine the shock, or remember the shock of being told that your last day in this comfort zone is coming up soon. It is a tough thing to hear! And yet, in this situation there are three key things to remember, which can or will assist you through this change. The first thing to remember is that change is the normal side of life. Every thing in the world is in a constant state of change from birth to death, mountains forming and ice caps melting. All of it is change. Sometimes it happens fast and other times it is very slow, but change is the rule rather then the exception. Lay-off is yet another change. Not comfortable but in recent economic times, very normal. The second thing to remember is you always have choice. Of course, you may not have had a choice in your lay-off, but in this circumstance you have choice about what you want to do with the information. This realization, all by itself offers you some power and control in a circumstance that feels very uncertain. When you look at lay-off as an opportunity instead of a problem it changes the way you think about it. The third and final thing to remember is that there are great resources at your disposal to support you during these uncertain times. For information on how to access government funded (no charge) services call our office at 604.434.1177.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Chase money, especially money owed to you, or pursue past dollar sources such as a former job/employer. Pay old bills. Life is easy, mild. But don’t start any new projects before May 11. You might discover, early week, that there is a ﬂaw or major hindrance in something you thought was “in the bag,” especially in romantic, creative or speculation zones. Work with a Gemini, Taurus or Capricorn to overcome that ﬂaw. (Or just accept it.) Communications are affectionate, especially with someone who means a lot to you (enemies can mean a lot, too!). Happiness, Wednesday/Thursday!

Cancer June 21-July 22: A former friend, schoolmate, could pop by, phone. If this occurs Sunday to Tuesday noon, or Friday/Saturday, it could have bigger implications – opportunity, love, travel, etc. Be engaging, welcoming. Your domestic scene has “lightened up” lately, and will stay light until late July. (This also takes the pressure off marriage and other partnerships.) Use this interval to prepare for the resumption of “serious matters” in this arena late July through 2012. Get contracts signed, disagreements settled, etc. Someone out there wants to “rescue” you. If the knight’s white, say yes.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Mysteries, intimate bonding, sex, pregnancy, lifestyle change, commitments and consequences, crime, research, dreams, investments, ﬁnances, inheritances and other people’s money – these continue to occupy you, and continue to be subject to delays, mistakes and misunderstandings. Be patient. Reprise the past – e.g., grab a former lover, chase former ﬁnancial situations, revisit former mysteries. You might be contemplating marriage, or another cultural passage. Wait: January to June 2011 will bring your answer, ring your bell. Security, home Sunday-Tuesday. Romance mid-week.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy and charisma soar, you love life and it loves you! But once every four years your April/May high-energy period will occur while it is unwise to begin new projects – as now. These 1-in-4 year phases must be meant to nudge you into cleaning up your past, or seizing it so you don’t lose something --- or someone – valuable. That might be why old ﬂames, nostalgia, old contacts, and past “ungrabbed” opportunities return, as they are doing now. So use your high energy and magnetism this week, but use it to reprise (or clean up) the past. Joy, Friday/Saturday!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Start nothing new before May 11. Reprise the past in career, prestige areas – and protect these from mistakes, supply shortages, missed meetings, etc. A former career role might return. You’re still assertive/aggressive, your face is redder than usual, you want quick results, and you might push people too hard – this from last October to early June 2010 (and Monday/Tuesday!). On the good side, higher learning, foreign countries and lawyers beneﬁt you. Your social life has picked up! Work hard Sunday to Tuesday noon. Be ﬂexible, welcoming mid-week. Mysteries, intimacy late week.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Relationships remain your prime focus. Don’t start new ones. Protect ongoing contacts from (your?) neglect. You could deal with a former spouse, business partner or contact, or a former opportunity might return (especially one involving the public, relocation, sex, ﬁnances, and/or a social group). You could grow increasingly intimate with a friend or affectionate bond. That’s good. If you learn a secret Sunday/Monday, it’s true. Take care if a relationship conﬂicts with your career or community status. Slow down, attend to home, family mid-week. Romance, creativity visit Friday/Saturday!

Gemini May 21-June 20: Lie low, rest, make no demands.Cleanup,handleoldobligations,governmentrelated tasks, administrative duties – and be nice. (Bureaucrats do engage in revenge sometimes.) Your speech and writing is a bit aggressive, male, volatile – and unusually friendly – last October to this coming June. Neglected chores will return. So might an old ﬂame, but a quiet or restrictive or burdensome one, perhaps someone you want to protect. (Remember, this is your year for career success, not for shenanigans.) Big money, mysteries and sex favour you Sunday to Tuesday. Mid-week’s mellow.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Start nothing new before May 11. An assortment of old friends, former lovers, teachers, schoolmates, even bosses might have started ﬂowing in – most of these won’t last, so be non-committal until you see who “sticks.” A Taurus, Gemini and/or another Virgo ﬁgure prominently. Romance, creative or speculative urges, love for happy children – these bless you Sunday to noon Tuesday. The “person” side of this shines bright; the sex/ intimate side meets problems, perhaps due to security factors. Relationships intrigue you Friday/Saturday. For 15 years, marriage/love will fascinate you.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The accent remains on work — you have a lot to do, including chores you neglected weeks or months ago. Tackle these. If unemployed, contact former employers, or return to a former ﬁeld. But DON’T start any brand new work projects, nor buy machinery. All this to May 11. If a co-worker’s driving you crazy, just take a deep breath. Your spouse is affectionate. If you’re unattached, others respond sweetly (but don’t seek anyone brand new before May 11). Money has “signiﬁcance” or involves important news Sunday-Tuesday. Be domestic, or in nature, Friday/Saturday.

May 2 - 8 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Romance is deep, meaningful, might be of marriage quality. This applies especially if an old flame has wandered back. Take a chance on this. But don’t start a brand new relationship now – it would forever remain an “unfinished symphony.” Same advice applies to creative, speculative, sports and pleasure projects. Work is pleasant, co-workers affectionate. Your energy and charisma soar Sunday to noon Tuesday – much succeeds, but don’t push love toward intimacy too soon, and beware mixing gambling with investments. Money’s important mid-week – be nimble! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Rest, lie low and contemplate people, things, your life Sunday to noon Tuesday. There is much to think over, and a series of valuable insights, especially in the areas of home, security, spirit, government, sex and intimacy, romance and large finances. Your relations with others (or one other) are at a low, and critical point. Don’t expect agreement, but do realize you are probably in the “power seat” of this relationship now. (As opposed to last October/November, when roles were switched.) A “déjà-vu” situation might exist. Your energy and charisma return mid-week. Money, Friday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: You’re busy, but not pressured (much) – enjoy the respite.Your popularity rises Sunday to noon Tuesday – seek friends, be happy, flirt with a casual acquaintance you haven’t seen in awhile, have fun! (That casual friend might be the key to a significant social, even partnership event.) But realize restlessness can interfere with job success. Settle into rest, contemplation and mild withdrawal Tuesday noon through Thursday. True insight, inspiration arrives Thursday. Your energy and charisma surge Friday/Saturday! Attract and do. But don’t start anything new before May 11. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
