Mercer process puzzles parents City asks for bids on stadium and track – does it mean decision has been made?

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster is making tracks toward upgrading Mercer Stadium, and it’s left parents scratching their heads over where the replacement New Westminster Secondary School will be built.

Mercer Stadium was thought to be a frontrunner as a possible site for the long-overdue replacement high school, but the city is going out to tender for bids to upgrade the stadium and the track.

Don Ellam, a Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary parent, said he is “confused” by the news, and he questions what it means for the long-overdue high school.

“I’m not really sure what’s going on,” he said. “I’m perplexed. It would seem obvious to me if the track goes ahead, there would be an agreement from the school district, (saying) ‘Yes, you can use our land.”

The school district owns a small portion of Mercer Stadium. The city owns the majority of the stadium, which includes the track.

Ellam is a member of the district parent advisory council, which ◗Mercer Page 4

Both sides of bullying: New Westminster Secondary School drama students Stephanie Sukkau and Justine Lynn play “mean girls” in a play about bullying, which is being performed for the public on May 12, 7 p.m. at the Massey Theatre. Admission is by donation.

‘Mean’ girl takes centre stage Students drive home antibullying message in play

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Grade 11 student Justine Lynn is the mean girl.

That’s how she describes her role in an upcoming New Westminster Secondary School play about bullying.

She might be playing the part of a bully, but in real life she knows what it’s like to be on the other side.

Advantage Each Office Independently Owned and Operated

When she was in middle school, Justine said a group of girls came after her.

“I don’t even know why they did it,” she says. “They cornered me and told me they were going to beat me up.”

She was saved when another student ran for help.

When Justine told her mom what had happened, her mom called the school, which was in Coquitlam, but staff there weren’t too concerned.

“They made it seem like it wasn’t a big deal, so my mom pulled me out of that school,” says Justine.

Justine says her story isn’t unique.

“Almost every student in my (drama) class has experience with bullying,” she says.

“It happens at almost every school.”

To raise awareness about the perils of bullying, Justine and her fellow drama students are putting on a public performance.

Students wrote and will star in the series of anti-bullying plays, which deal with themes of teen pregnancy, homophobia, rejection and sibling bullying.

Each year, the drama department puts on an anti-bullying performance, under the banner of the Rock Solid program, which partners the high school and the New ◗Bullying Page 4

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).

‘It was a promise I made to mom’ First ones: City man puts his trees in city’s heritage register

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Grant Henderson has become the first Royal City resident to place trees on the city’s heritage register.

City council recently approved a staff recommendation to include two beech trees at 308 Ash St. on the heritage register.

Henderson wants to dedicate the trees’ addition to the heritage register to his parents, Violet Mae and Roy Grant Henderson.

“It was a promise I made to mom,” he said about protecting the trees on the property of their longtime home. “I’d like to see the trees saved. We have had people coming by in the past asking to buy them for hardwood.”

Henderson understands why people would want the wood from the beech trees, but he thinks they serve a greater purpose.

“They are old trees,” he said. “They have something to do with the story of this property, with the history of New Westminster.”

Henderson said people coming down Scott Road in Surrey can see the trees if they know where to look.

The trees are among the biggest beech trees in New Westminster.

“They are pretty huge,” he said. “Mom had them topped three times in my time. Each time she took off 25 or 30 feet. They are probably 150 years old.”

A city staff report said the trees are considered to have heritage value because of their age (planted sometime between 1860 and 1880), their size, their landmark status in the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood and their connection to an important New Westminster family. The Cunningham family started the Cunningham Hardware Company.

Henderson, who’s a bit

of a New Westminster history buff, said his property was once part of Thomas Cunningham’s estate.

The estate, whose exact boundaries haven’t been defined, include the area around Third Avenue, from about Eighth to Seventh streets.

An elm tree, a European beech tree and a Copper beech on Henderson’s property are remnants from the Cunningham estate.

“They are all in a perfect row,” Henderson said.

“They were definitely planted.”

A fourth tree that had been in the row of trees blew over when the remnants of Typhoon Freda hit the region in late 1962.

The two beeches, however, withstood the storm and still stand tall.

“I think it means they will be preserved,” Henderson said about placing the trees on the heritage register. “If they want to destroy them or do anything with them,

it gives them a real good lease on life.”

The European beech has green leaves, while the copper beech has leaves that change colour several times a year, ranging from green to maroon. The European beech produces a big crop of edible nuts every second year.

“My family has been here (New Westminster) for over 100 years,” he said.

“They (the trees) were just little guys when my batch came here.”

Claude LeDoux, the city’s manager of horticulture services, isn’t sure if Henderson’s trees are the biggest beeches in the city, but they rank right up there.

“They are definitely some of the largest. There appears to be a number in town planted around the same time frame,” he said.

“There are a number of beeches in town. It is the size of these that is nice.”

LeDoux noted that two

Created in 1994, the city’s heritage register has about 180 properties listed, including residences, commercial buildings, parks,

beech trees are located in Queen’s Park, not far from the city’s greenhouse.

“I think it’s a great idea that people are wanting to put their private trees on there,” he said. “The important thing is to maintain

roads – and now, trees.

“Increasing the number of properties and having a diverse selection of heritage resources on the heritage register supports a strong heritage conservation program,” said a staff report.

Bullying: Drama with a serious message ◗ continued from page 1

Westminster Police Service in an effort to raise awareness about the consequences of bullying.

In the fall, the drama classes, led by teacher Traci Cave, performed a similar show – though with less racy themes – for middle school students in the New Westminster school district.

This month, they will perform a new round of Rock Solid plays for senior students, but, as a bonus, the public is invited to attend an open performance on May 12, 7 p.m. at the Massey Theatre. Admission is by donation.

Justine says they are hoping for a good turnout.

The Rock Solid program

came to New Westminster Secondary School in 2003 – as a combined effort between police and the school’s senior marketing class.

Saanich police started Rock Solid, in response to the tragic death of Reena Virk, a 14-year-old who was killed in 1997 by a group of teenage tormentors.

Development in city starting to boom again

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A number of new developments are in the works for New Westminster.

“What we are seeing is the market is heating up again,” said Lisa Spitale, the city’s director of development services.

“I know when the market crashed, all the residential projects came off the table.”

In recent weeks, city council has received preliminary reports about various projects that are in the planning stages.

UPG Property Group Inc., which owns Westminster Centre and other properties in the area, is proposing to build a fourstorey commercial building at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Fifth Street. In 2009, city council had issued a development permit to allow a one-storey building to be built at the site at 504 and 508 Sixth Ave. That developer has since amended that proposal and hopes to build a four-storey commercial building. As proposed, the project would require variances for parking spaces (48 are proposed where 76 are required), a setback on the east side of the site and height (a 16.5-metre building is proposed, but zoning allows a 9.1-metre building).

Also in the uptown, Blue Sky Properties Inc. is proposing to build a 24-storey mixed-use highrise at 609 and 625 Fifth Ave. The proposal calls for 170 residential units and 6,564 square feet of commercial floor space facing Belmont Street, as well as a four-storey residential building facing Fifth Avenue.

The uptown site is home to the former Petro Canada gas station, which is now vacant, four two-level commercial buildings and the Westminster Medical Building. The medical building at Fifth Avenue and Seventh Street would remain, but the building at 608 Fifth Ave. would be demolished.

Staff will report back to city council when the architectural and technical reviews are done.

Spitale said the economic slowdown didn’t impact New Westminster’s development services department because planning and development work continued on the city’s three master planned neighbourhoods – the Brewery District, Victoria Hill and Port Royal.

“We haven’t felt a slowdown at all,” she said. “We have been busy. … We are seeing a lot of activity.”

Spitale said the city has also fielded some serious inquiries about two projects in the downtown.

“Queensborough has always been busy,” she added. “Aragon has been steadily working (on Port Royal).”

City council recently approved variances that will allow the Aragon Group to build 83 ground-oriented residential units in phase four of the Port Royal development at 180 Ewen Ave. The project will include 13 single detached dwellings, 56 townhouse units and 14 rowhouse units.

A staff report said that a lowrise apartment had originally been proposed, rather than townhouses, triggering the variances.

Children’s Minister Mary Polak dismissed the petition as “unfortunate” and a “waste of scarce resources.” She contends that the issue is not whether Turpel-Lafond’s office has the right to read such documents, but whether she has the authority to disclose them publicly in her reports. It all smacks of

a continuing effort by the government to try and avoid revealing potentially embarrassing ministerial actions or inaction.

Dear Editor:

Re: HST: We don’t like what we see (The Record, Letters to the editor, April 24).

Someone really needs to write an HST for Dummies book for all the gullible people who’ve been conned into believing the HST is a new tax that will cost them more money than they’re paying right now.

P.T. Barnum really knew what he was talking about when he said there’s a sucker born every minute, and B.C. seems to be full of them these days.

There are layers and layers of hidden provincial sales tax embedded in the things you buy right now.

And it works out to far more than the seven per cent PST you currently see on your receipts.

Do people in B.C. really want to go on blindly paying these hidden, very costly layers of PST? I don’t.

The PST is an antiquated, costly, uncompetitive tax. B.C. is one of the last places in the country to do away with it and replace it with a value-added HST. People need to open their eyes and start doing the math instead of running after fools and charlatans like lemmings heading for the cliff.

This is definitely a case where ignorance is not bliss.

City’s gardens are ‘magnificent’

Dear Editor:

Just came back from Van Dusen Gardens: beautiful, yes, but have you visited our Quay recently?

Really magnificent! Without the gardeners, New Westminster would be an absolute disaster. A big thank you to them all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Incinerator is no solution

Dear Editor:

One incinerator at $470 million, plus the cost of landfilling the 30 per cent of our garbage that remains as ash, and the cost of operations, means we might spend close to a billion dollars for a $20 million return in district heating. Add up to five more incinerators, and it’s clear that taxpayers can’t afford conventional waste management. Neither can we afford to waste the resources in our garbage in view of the coming resource shortage.

We can’t keep shipping our recycled materials overseas, subsidizing Asian economies. The escalating cost of oil collapses those markets. Add the cost of pollution, cancer and other health impacts, and it’s clear we need to move to sustainable solutions.

We can reduce our waste with resource recovery parks. We can recycle more than 90 per cent and remanufacture our recycled materials locally. Investing incinerator money in economic development instead, in our own and neighbouring regions, provides returns to the taxpayer while building a green economy. Such new business and industry – small-scale and closed loop – stimulated with the financial, educational and political resources of local government, can jump-start these solutions. The corporations already providing waste services can be offered contracts to remanufacture instead. For a start, we can purchase the Cascades paper re-pulping plant, which is now for sale, remanufacture our own paper and supply our own markets.

The real cost of education

Dear Editor:

Re: Recent debate over private schools receiving public funding. I have been sending my children to private school for the past 12 years and have also paid in my taxes for public school, even though it has been my family choice to send them to private school. Maybe the question of whether public funding should go to private schools should be whether all those parents who have been paying for the public school system should get a refund for their taxes – which have gone to a system that continues to increase funding, and parents are still not happy with the education system.

Maybe you should take a more detailed look at the private school system and the

waiting list of parents waiting to enrol their children in either elementary school or high school and pulling there children out of the public school system.

You also should be aware that the parents who choose to send their children to private school pay 50 per cent of the school fees. Then we pay for the public school education system and have chosen to still send our children to private school. Maybe you should contact Christy Clark, who sent her children to private school even when she was the Minister of Education in the past.

There needs to be some form of accountably, and a private school system keeps the public school system in proper check.

Tree cutting is a huge loss

Dear Editor:

I just walked through Sapperton from Braid Street to Hospital Street – my little neighborhood as a homeowner and taxpayer in New Westminster. I was horrified to realize the change in the skyline was the removal of several old trees. What shortsighted thinking!

I thought New Westminster was trying to clean up and gentrify itself? What was an area that has recently seen revitalization in new stores and families moving in is now devoid of character, life and a sense of history that these trees gave. Now that they are gone, it might as well be any other new development in any other neighborhood of the Lower Mainland. That is not what why I moved to New Westminster.

My grandmother lived in this area for 30 years, and she fondly recalled a time when the best butcher shop in New Westminster was in Sapperton. It was a bustling and lively neighborhood. She and residents and business owners of her ilk would be disgusted at the removal of these trees. When I dropped off my cleaning at the White Rose Dry Cleaners on Columbia Street, the man behind the counter said that he remembers the trees being planting 30-odd years ago, and the only reason the business was given for the removal was that the leaves were too much work to clean up and caused too much mess in the fall.

I am shocked that these trees are gone, and I wish I was sending this e-mail last week when there was the possibility of affecting the removal of these trees. They are gone, they can never return, and it is a huge loss for the community.

Union raises concern over transfer of nonemergency work to private contractors

BY JANAYA FULLER-EVANS REPORTER jfuller-evans@royalcityrecord.com

The provincial government has announced plans to cut 14 ambulances and 45,000 hours – the equivalent of 36 full-time paramedic jobs – from the ambulance fleet in the Lower Mainland, according to the paramedics’ union.

But B.C. Ambulance Service says ambulances and jobs are not being cut.

However, non-emergency transportation for patients is being transferred to private contractors.

Non-emergency transportation usually involves transferring patients from hospitals to other medical facilities or appointments. The Ambulance Paramedics of B.C. – Local 873 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees – argued this would have a domino effect on the health-care system.

The main issue, however, is that this does not solve the problem of not having enough ambulances overall, according to the Ambulance Paramedics of B.C.

“It’s a devastating decision for residents of Burnaby,” said B.J. Chute, director of public education for the paramedics’ union.

He added there is a lack of resources in Burnaby as it is, and hospitals such as Royal Columbian in New Westminster are also affected.

“Ambulances are tied up for excessive hours at Royal Columbian,” he said.

He would like the province to reconsider the transfer of services, Chute added. “We would like to see this revisited.”

CUPE 873’s president, John Strohmaier, was also frustrated about the situation.

“Fewer ambulances and fewer paramedics dealing with a growing population and an estimated 29,000 additional calls in the next year equals longer wait times and more backlogs in the health system,” Strohmaier said in a press release. “Patients will pay the price of these cuts.”

A comprehensive joint study by the B.C. Ambulance Service and the union carried out in 2008 called for more ambulances just to try to keep up with growing call volumes.

But the B.C. Ambulance Service said calls for patient transfers from one facility to another have decreased by 33 per cent since 2008.

“Therefore, BCAS does not require the same number of transfer staff and ambulances to undertake this work as we have previously,” Chris Harbord, manager of communications for the B.C. Ambulance Service, wrote in an e-mail.

Only 28 of the 35 positions being cut are currently filled, Harbord added, and the government hopes to cut the other positions through attrition rather than layoffs. According to Harbord, the union is fighting the transfer of services rather than working with the ambulance service to make the transfer with minimal layoffs.

According to Health Minister Kevin Falcon, contracting out these services in Metro Vancouver saved health authorities $2 million last year.

CUPE 873 has been in contract negotiations with the provincial government since April, when the union’s contract was up.

The four main issues are wages, job security, the need for more ambulances and compensation for on-call paramedics, according to the paramedics’ union.

The provincial government’s legislation ordered paramedics back to work in September, after the union gave strike notice, and negotiations have stalled since then, according to Chute.

◗ ACTIVITY

City urges residents to get moving for health

BY JANAYA FULLER-EVANS REPORTER jfuller-evans@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster is planning two events for this year’s Move for Health Day. The World Health Organization started the event in 2002. This year it will be held on Monday, May 10.

On Saturday, May 15, the city has planned a community walk starting at the Queen’s Park arena at 11 a.m.

It will be a gentle four-kilometre walk, not a run, according

to Sandy Earle, active community programmer for the city.

“Little steps make a big difference,” Earle said.

A light lunch including yogurt, fruit, muffins and juice will be provided afterwards, she added. Mayor Wayne Wright is slated to attend.

The walk is funded by a grant from the British Columbia RecreationandParksAssociation, which promotes the event and monitors participation levels in the province. Matt Hill and Stephanie Tait, co-founders of

Run for One Planet, will speak at the event.

Those interested in attending should register by phoning the Centennial Community Centre at 604-777-5100 before Tuesday, May 11.

City staff will also be participating in a walk on Thursday, May 13. The city has had similar events for the past four years.

According to Earle, about 90 staff members usually join in.

Draw prizes will be given out at both events, including a gift certificate to the Boathouse

people participated in city-run events on (Move for Health Day),” Earle said.

The city participated in the local government challenge last year and came in fourth of the five cities competing, with 22 per cent of city staff joining the challenge.

According to the B.C. RecreationandParksAssociation, 78,391 British Columbians participated in Move For Health Day events last year. The association hopes to have 90,000 this year.

The existing high school site is just too small to hold all possible uses – but don’t look at the provincial government to decide what’s going to be removed.

Any option for where to build the high school will require approval from the province. But Doug Hibbins, the provincial representative providing oversight on the project, said it is up to the city and the district to determine where the school should be built.

“The board was given clear direction to go and work on specifications, they haven’t completed that yet,” Hibbins said. “Is there a solution that looks like it might work for everyone? No, there isn’t.

“I agree, it’s gone on for far too RELATED STORY long,” he said, but noted the com‘I’m perplexed’: plexity of the project. “I have been Parents unsure about involved in many school projects state of project. See over the years; this is by far and related story, page 1. away the most complex project.”

The site was constrained even before the extent of the old cemetery came to light, he said. Either changing the high school’s grade configuration or building two smaller high schools could reduce demand for space on the site, he said, noting that the plan to cram a 2,600-student school, Massey Theatre, Mercer Stadium and a memorial park is too much.

“It’s like saying, “I want to have a 5,000-square-foot house, I want a big yard, and I want a three-car garage on this little city lot. You won’t get it all on,” Hibbins said.

“The option of moving the track, that’s a good, solid, viable solution, but the school district doesn’t have the ability to do that. I think if you can relinquish that site of one use, then you can build the high school the community desires.”

Recreation facilities in the city will also run events for the public on May 10, including fitness classes, and public skating and swimming. Prices for using the facilities will not change for the day, Earle said.

The city is distributing postcards with lists of what people can do to be active. There will be draw prizes available for those who fill the cards out, checking off the activities they undertake, and return the cards to the city.

A treat for mom

T

he New Westminster Symphony Orchestra has a special concert planned for Mother’s Day. A Grand Afternoon at the Opera is being held on Sunday, May 9 at 2 p.m. at Massey Theatre. It includes singers from DragonDiva Operatic Theatre, whose goal is to bring opera to people who otherwise wouldn’t see and hear it.

“With the beautiful voices of DragonDiva backed by the full New Westminster Symphony Orchestra, this Mother’s Day concert promises to provide a truly memorable afternoon,” said local arts promoter Tony Antonias.

The program will include arias from some of the greatest operas ever written, including Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte, Rossini’s The Barber of Seville and Puccini’s Madame Butterfly.

Admission is by donation.

Coun. Lorrie Williams sang the praises of the New Westminster Symphony Orchestra after its March 14 concert, which featured violin soloist Nancy Di Novo.

“They are getting better and better with every concert,” she said. “It was a stunning, stunning concern. People came out of there amazed at the violinist and how lovely she played.”

Sharp eyes: Rob Butler will be taking his bicycle out on the road for a bird-watching expedition as part of the annual Baillie Birdathon, run by Bird Studies Canada to raise money for bird conservation in Canada.

A project for the birds

Royal City resident counting birds to help raise money for conservation in Canada

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Rob Butler may have a particular fondness for crows, but he’ll be searching for many other species during the annual Baillie Birdathon.

Bird Studies Canada sponsors the annual birdathon to raise money for bird conservation in Canada. During a 24-hour period in May, more than 7,000 people will attempt to find as many bird species as they can.

“People pledge so much per bird that you are going to see,” said Butler, a New Westminster resident. “You have to see how many birds you can tally in one day.”

Bird Studies Canada sponsors the Baillie Birdathon, which raised about $240,000 for bird conservation projects during last year’s event. Supporters can pledge for every bird a participant sees in one day or they can pledge a set amount.

The birdathon sometimes features high-

profile guests, including Robert Bateman and Margaret Atwood.

Bill Lishman, who led whooping cranes on a migratory journey through Canada and the United States from his ultralight airplane, is this year’s celebrity participant.

The film Fly Away Home was loosely based on his journey.

While most people drive their cars to count birds during the birdathon, Butler and some friends from Bird Studies Canada decided to do it by bike last year and cycled to the Reifel Bird Sanctuary in Delta where they found 120 or 130 species of birds.

Butler may be biking solo for this year’s count, which will see him start in New Westminster then venture to Burnaby and Vancouver. He’ll do it between May 11 and 14, weather permitting.

“I think I can get up to 75 species, 65 for sure,” said Butler, who has been doing some scouting missions to pinpoint some birds’ locations. “I haven’t spent a lot of time in New West – it isn’t the best birding place.”

Butler anticipates he’ll pick up about 20 species at Hume Park.

“When I get to Burnaby Lake, I should

really rack them up,” he said. “It is humming with birds.”

Butler notes that migrating birds are now returning to the Lower Mainland, after spending winter in Mexico, Central America and maybe even South America.

“You can look out in your yard and see this bird that was in South America,” he noted.

During this year’s birdathon, Butler will be on the lookout for a pileated woodpecker, which is a relatively common bird but is found in places where people need to know to look. He’s also hoping to spot a Virginia rail.

“I heard it this morning,” he told The Record recently. “I didn’t see it.”

Birders can count birds that they hear, even if they don’t see them. Not only does Butler know what the different bird species look like, but he also knows their individual calls.

Butler, a professional ornithologist, first became interested in birds as a child.

“I started as a kid, I got really intrigued.

My mother tells me when I was six or seven years old, I would point out birds then,” he ◗Birdathon Page 12

Butler is impressed with how well crows work together to chase off predators, and then look after their own needs.

“They are so much like people.”

among the conservation projects that will benefit from funds raised at the Baillie birdathon. Butler’s research specialties are avian migration, ecology and conservation.

For locals on the lookout for birds, Butler said Queen’s Park and Hume Park aren’t bad.

New Westminster doesn’t have a large forested area, like Burnaby Lake, which attracts birds.

Butler, however, doesn’t have to go too far to find his favourite bird.

“I like the crow,” he said. “I studied them for my master’s.”

ay is a busy month in the Royal City with the Hyack Festival, May Day, Anvil Salute, Heritage Homes Tour and a whole bunch of other things. Also coming up this month are a couple of historical programs with Sapperton connections that we want to bring to your attention.

At the New Westminster Historical Society evening on May 19, there will be a presentation on a couple of Sapperton topics – one very much on the minds of the local community and the other, though very interesting to know about, not very well-known.

The first part of the presentation will focus on the rapidly growing upcoming development known as the Brewery District.

This was the location of the Labatt Brewery not that long ago and in the near future will be home to a number of stores and services, a Thrifty Foods, residential units and more.

The historical society program about this site will show many images of the location and its surroundings from its early years to the present. Much has changed over the decades, and the story includes housing for workers at the nearby mills and industries, a couple of inns, an orphan-

Public Library auditorium.

The cemetery tour is on Sunday, May 16, starting at 1:30 pm near the Fraser Cemetery office at 100 Richmond St. May is a busy month locally, and both these historical presentations will be well worth a few hours of your time.

age, a soda water factory, a major mill or two, streetcar lines, the 1889 Royal Columbian Hospital, an early Methodist Church and, of course, a brewery with its landmark neon sign.

Another part of the May 19 evening presentation will look, in some detail, at crossing the property known as the B.C. Penitentiary land.

There was a time when the only local way to get past this Pen site was to go around on Columbia Street or Eighth Avenue.

Sixth Avenue didn’t go through.

By way of a series of images of the Pen lands, early streets, photos of the Glen Creek area, aerial photos of the landscape, and a photo of the Sixth Avenue bridge itself, the evolution of this land will become clear.

Both of these topics came from suggestions from community residents who wanted to know more about them. If time permits, a look at a 1920s aerial view of Sapperton will be shown as well.

The second May item we want you to mark on your calendars, along with all the other things occurring this month, is a cemetery tour of the Fraser and St. Peter’s cemeteries, located in the Sapperton part of the city.

The tour is titled “Good Sports, Valued Athletes” and will introduce people who played interesting roles in our local world of sports and recreation.

The New Westminster Historical Society meets on Wednesday, May 19, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the New Westminster

Choral tradition: The Mayflower Choir, on tour from the Netherlands, is performing as part of the Music at Queens concert series on Tuesday.

Choir in concert

It’s a centuries-old choral tradition that stretches back to the days when Dutch vessels were sailing the oceans of the world and the crews were loudly singing hymns and psalms while working.

The bold singing style was carried on in the churches and cathedrals – and still today, singing is a passion throughout the country.

The proof of that is coming to New Westminster courtesy of the Mayflower Choir, a 100-voice ensemble from the Netherlands that’s performing on Tuesday, May 11 as part of the Music at Queens concert series.

The concert is set for 7:30 p.m. at Queens Avenue United Church, 529 Queens Ave. The choir, directed by Andre van Vliet, will offer a program that includes classical music, spirituals, and contemporary and traditional Christian music, as well as solos on the piano and organ.

Jan Lenselink is the choir’s pianist, and Jorrit Woudt is the organist.

Tickets for the concert are available at the church office Tuesday to Friday mornings, or at the door on the evening of the concert. Regular-priced tickets are $20, or $15 for seniors and students, $10 for children.

It’s Hyacks versus Central in final

Royal City runners in top 30 in Vancouver marathon

Championship final Tuesday at Burnaby Lake

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

NowallJessicaGoodwin has to worry about is the mark she’ll receive on her mid-term exam.

The Grade 11 Hyack scored the game-winning goal in a shootout to give New Westminster Secondary a 2-1 victory over Burnaby South in the district girls’ semifinal soccer playoff at Mercer Stadium Thursday.

But she nearly didn’t make it to the game on time.

“I was trying to get out (of the exam). I’m glad I got here,” said Goodwin, who arrived at the pitch in the second half of play.

By that time, the score was deadlocked at 1-1 after both teams scored in the opening half of the play.

South defender Abbey Vogt got the Burnaby side on the board first.

But Kirsti Shanks equalized later in the half off a long ball on goal by her younger sister Emma Shanks that was bobbled by the South keeper.

Both teams had some momentum in the second half, but it was New Westminster that controlled most of the play in the midfield.

However, Vogt had perhaps the best chance, sending a long ball just wide in the late going after a cross from Grade 8 forward Seina Kashima.

In the overtime, South looked the better of the two teams, but was unlucky to not come away with more to show for it.

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Going to the final: New Westminster’s Hannah Vickers, right, slows down Burnaby North’s Sidney Roy in an earlier league match. The Hyacks earned a spot in the district high school girls’ soccer final with a 2-1 shootout win over Burnaby South at Mercer Stadium Thursday.

In the first overtime, Kashima made a nice run down the left side and cut inside the New West defence, only to have her low strike miss the near post.

But the Hyacks owned the shootout, outscoring South 4-3.

“Oh man, I just knew

we had to score,” said Goodwin after her solid strike went in off the keeper’s glove for the gamewinning score. “The last few years we’ve been knocked out in the first round of playoffs, so it’s pretty cool.”

New Westminster will play Burnaby Central in

the championship final at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West, Tuesday at 3 p.m.

Central blanked Burnaby North 2-0 in the other semifinal.

In first-round playdowns Tuesday, Ashley Gilmore scored a late second-half goal to give

North a 1-0 victory over Moscrop at Burnaby LakeWest. Devon Wood got the win in goal for North.

Kashima scored the game-winner for South in a 2-0 win over Alpha.

Amy Lawrence also scored for South, while Lara Minosky got the shutout for South.

Dario Herrera of New Westminster placed 29th overall at the BMO Vancouver Marathon on Sunday.

Herrera was seventh in the men’s 30-to-34 group in a time of 2:52.25.

New Westminster ’s Suzanne Evans was 31st overall and first in the women’s 35-to-39 age class, finishing just seconds behind in 2:52.58.

Thomas Omwenga of Tampa, Florida won the event, clocking a winning time of 2:16.55.

Emmah Muthoni Kiruki of Tampa was the fastest female, breaking the tape in a time of 2:37.16.

Lauren Williams and Crista Vanden Hoven of Burnaby were eighth and ninth in the female 25-to29 age division, clocking times of 3:12.52 and 3:15.16, respectively.

Doug Waldie of New Westminster was 10th in the men’s 45-to-49 age group. Waldie’s time was 3:13.10.

David Vickars of Burnaby came sixth in the men’s 50-to-54 division.

His time was 3:14.21.

Old Caseys coming to bat at Queen’s Park

The old boys of summer will be coming to Burnaby and New Westminster this year.

The Lower Mainland Baseball Association will be playing host to the 18th annual Canadian National Oldtimers Baseball Federation championships and Burnaby will be its epicentre.

Queen’s Park Stadium, Robert Burnaby Park and Central Park will host the majority of the approximately 80 games, including all three championship finals, which will be played over the B.C. Day long weekend from July

30 to Aug. 2.

As many as 30 hardball teams will be competing in three separate age divisions, including 35and-over, 44-plus and an over-50 age group that already is shaping up to be the must-see event at this year’s nationals, said tournament co-chair and LMBA commissioner Dan Taylor of Burnaby.

“Although the 50-and-over has only competed in the last three years, the three teams who have won are all here. Nine teams have applied to play so far,” Taylor said. “I think it’s a reflection on oldtimer baseball because our league and the league in PoCo guys are playing longer.”

That is one of the main reasons why an over-50 division was added to the championships.

Red Deer won the first-ever over-50 national title. A team called the B.C. Capitals won in 2008, while Yarmouth, N.S. will be returning to defend its title.

The nationals will also play some preliminary games out of Mundy and Blue Mountain parks in Coquitlam and at South Surrey Athletic Park.

Both the cities of Burnaby and New Westminster are fully behind the event, while Tourism Burnaby also chipped in with a cash grant and is helping set up accommodations for the visitors.

The group also received a grant from Baseball B.C., which will receive any profits from the championship, said Taylor.

Major sponsor Firstar will be outfitting the volunteers and supplying the prizes and awards.

Baden Canada will supply the baseballs.

So far, 25 teams from B.C., the Prairies, Ontario and the Maritimes have registered.

The opening ceremonies will be held at Queen’s Park Stadium on Friday, July 30. A beer garden will also be open on-site.

As many as 80 games will be played over the holiday weekend. There will be special events

planned, including a salmon barbecue and a welcoming event hosted at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown hotel.

If that wasn’t enough, Taylor is already thinking ahead to hosting an annual oldtimers’ jamboree in the future.

“This bodes well for B.C. teams,” Taylor said. “We’re hoping to capitalize on this and do an annual thing. Do something for B.C. teams and maybe some Alberta teams that might want to come.”

Further sponsorship and support is welcomed. To get involved or to find out more information, go to www.cnobf2010.com.

CAREER COACH Back to school planning

September may seem far away, but now is the time to consider school and training options beginning this fall. Here are a number of great websites that will help you Gregg Taylor research your training options: www.educationplannerbc.ca: Provides information on all undergraduate programs at BC’s 27 publicly funded colleges, institutes and universities including availability, application dates, tuition costs, admission requirements, and program lengths. You can search for programs by field of study, subject area, length of program, region, institution, and type of credential. www.bccca.com: The BC Career Colleges Association represents privately owned career training centres. Click on the ‘Search for a School’ option at the top of the main page to search by topic of study and/or region. www.pctia.bc.ca: The Private Career Training Institutions Agency is a government agency responsible for registering and accrediting private training colleges. Make sure that any private training college you consider is registered and preferably accredited by the agency.

If you are uncertain about which career or training option fits best for you, get some professional career guidance.

Please call my office at 604-434-1177 for information about hiring a career counsellor or our no-fee (government funded) three-week career exploration program, The Transitions Program.

May 9 - 15

Aries March 21 - April 19: Continue to chase money.You can start new projects lateTuesday onward, especially in earnings, possessions, rote learning and sensual gratification. You’re raring to go Sunday eve into Tuesday – your energy and charisma will surge upward. But this might be slightly too soon, unless you’re charging in to fix a past matter. (Still, take care Sunday – Monday’s far better. A hint: the matter you fix or correct involves your own past actions and/or a romance or creative project.) Communications or short trips succeed very nicely Friday/Saturday! A big chore will complete by late July.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Someone who cares about you will “come through” now (or did last week). Recent delays end Tuesday. Career or business ideas/urges that come to you early week will help solve an ongoing problem, but new ideas might fail – wait for June’s inspiration.Your hopes and popularity soar Wednesday/ Thursday – happiness blesses you! A new friendship or love might begin, but if it starts Wednesday, it has money and status difficulties. Retreat, rest and contemplate Friday/Saturday. This summer will bring huge new career/status and domestic events: reading, talking now will “prepare” you.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Partnership urges find fertile ground Sunday to Tuesday – but it’s uncertain whether a relationship formed would last, or fall prey to future indecision. If you take a consequential step Wednesday or before mid-morning Thursday, it could prevent partnership, marriage or a contractual agreement. After this, all’s good. Recent delays end Tuesday, especially in legal, valuation, investment, sexual, commitment, health and lifestyle areas. You might make a decision you’ve been mulling over for a long time. Foreign travel, law, education, publishing, culture arise late week – love, too!

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Romance, creativity, a general “lucky touch” – these continue all week – and even better, the delays and indecision that have marked this area end now (technically, Tuesday afternoon). A new romance (creative project, etc.) might begin now, perhaps mid-week – one that starts after Thursday morning is better than one that begins earlier. Sunday morning’s happy, but use this eve through Tuesday to rest, gather your energies – and to work on security or domestic problems – Monday might bring a big solution here!

Intimacy, commitment, an investment might lure you Friday/Saturday: careful!

Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy and magnetism remain high and now, at last, you can apply them to forward-going projects. Rest and think Sunday eve through Tuesday. Think especially about property, family and security matters – you might gain an insight Monday (or as you wake Tuesday morn) into solving a problem or friction in these zones. (Solutions will “take effect” in four weeks.) Wednesday onward, contemplate no longer – act! Love, partners, cooperators respond well Wednesday morning. Use the p.m. to prune or “edit” extraneous material. Chase money Friday/Saturday – keep it short term.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Recent delays end in career and business areas, although they remain in legal, international and intellectual zones. (Sunday-Tuesday shows this.) The courage, the impulsiveness, and the anger – and the sensual magnetism – you’ve possessed since last autumn will dissipate soon (early June) so if you’re going to make war or love, better hurry! By June, you’ll morph into a mere reasonable, money-hungry mortal. Be ambitious Wednesday/ Thursday – in an odd way, ambition is your salvation now. Happiness comes Friday/Saturday – flirtations, friends arrive. Hopes are prescient.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Tackle old chores Sunday eve to Tuesday. This is your opportunity to really clean up an ongoing mess in your life, especially Monday.

Relationships remain your primary concern all week – delays and indecision end here now. However, if you charge into a new bond (or sign a contract, etc.) before Thursday noon, it could interfere with your work or health. Act after this. Mysteries, secrets, research, the occult, deep attractions, intimacy, heavy finances, debts and investments arise Friday/Saturday. All’s smooth here, but the long-range future could hold a disappointment: be slow to commit!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Early this week, a talk or e-mail can solve a long-standing “war” with another – Monday especially, all day! If there is no enemy, or no competitive struggle, then there might be a long-standing attraction. Again, Monday’s communication benefits this!

Recent delays end Tuesday, especially in home, security, realty and similar zones. (But be patient: act after Thursday morning, not before.) Rest, recuperate, Wednesday/ Thursday. Your mood lifts mildly Friday/Saturday as you begin to notice beauty, begin to sense romance. But be a bit skeptical of romance, until late July.

Gemini May 21-June 20: You can see how the future intertwines with your past, Sunday to Tuesday.

Many Geminis are virtual hermits now, after more than a decade of relationship struggles. You might as well remain one, for 2010 favours career and business advancement, and your best relationships will be with bosses, VIPs, kids and parents. You’ll get a wee shot of flirty happiness June to September, then the oyster of love clams up on you again. In 2011, January to June, your popularity and optimism will soar, and light romance will please! For now, remain hopeful yet skeptical. You’ll succeed late week!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Delays end Tuesday, especially in intellectual, educational, publishing, legal, cultural, travel and love zones. A sexual attraction (which might arise early week) is a thing of your past, not your future. The same might be said of an investment or large financial action. Either act decisively Monday, or let it go. Those intellectual, educational (et al) things arise very successfully Wednesday/Thursday, as long as you aren’t sporting an Achilles heel – e.g., have something to hide, or are carrying around a crime like a leather bag of rocks. Be ambitious Friday/Saturday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Romantic, speculative (gambling) and creative urges arrive Sunday eve through Tuesday – enjoy the beauty, and Monday’s sweet success! Tackle chores all week, especially Wednesday/Thursday. Soon (late next week) you’ll enter an opportunity-laden time – you’ll need to be “light” then, not weighed down by unfinished business, tasks, etc. Relationships flow smoothly enough Friday/Saturday, but it’s not a good time (actually, not good right to late July) to commit to a long-term bond, marry, form a partnership, etc. It’s a fine time to make a work-money agreement, though.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: You can take a bold, successful money-work step – or solve an important money-work problem – early week (especially Monday).

It somehow involves the last six or seven months. Delays and indecision end in communications and travel matters mid-week. A new travel, paperwork, mail or e-mail project could begin now – Thursday’s best (after 9 a.m. PDT, after noon EDT). Settle into home, family, a restful stance Friday/Saturday – all’s fine, it’s a good time for gardening, etc. But don’t take on or start big things (renovations, buying a home, etc.) before late July – disappointment lurks in these. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
