◗ SCHOOL CLOSURE OPTIONS

Hume is not off the hook BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Hopes to secure the fate of Hume Park Elementary were crushed Tuesday night, when the board of education narrowly shot down a motion to put a moratorium on school closures until the district builds three new schools. Union-endorsed trustees Lori Watt, Michael Ewen and James Janzen supported the motion, but it was killed when Voice New Westminster trustees Casey Cook, Lisa Graham and Jim Goring, along with independent Brent Atkinson, voted against it. “I think it’s based on a belief that schools shouldn’t be closed,” Cook said about the motion put forward by Watt. “We have to make decisions based on fact, not ideology.” In March, the board opted to postpone the Hume Park closure/consolidation process until October. This is the second year in a row that the board is considering closing the 62student school and sending its students up the hill to Richard McBride Elementary, which is located one kilometre away. The district can’t say it won’t close schools, because it can’t predict what will happen in the period before the schools are built, Cook said. “First of all, for that period of time, one has no idea as to what are going to be the budget conditions, enrolment figures,” he said. Cook’s other criticism of the motion was that it gives the community the sense that it ties the hands of future boards and provide a false sense of security for school communities. “It’s a promise that creates an impression,” he said. For Atkinson, the problem with the ◗Schools Page 8

One-man market: Peter Corbeil has run the Queen’s Park Meat Market for the past 12 years, and, after a tough last two years, business is starting to look up again. Corbeil said he’d put his meat up against any supermarket meat.

t’s a non-descript building on the corner of Second Street and Fourth Avenue, and, from a distance, it looks like any other home in the area. But look in the front window, and you’ll find Peter Corbeil and the Queen’s Park Meat Market. The business has been around since 1915, and Corbeil is a relative rookie, having taken over from former owner Eric Davies in December 1998. In an era when small businesses are being swallowed up and put out of busi-

ness by big-box retailers, Corbeil has been making a living selling beef, chicken and pork the old-fashioned way. “You have to offer great service, and our prices aren’t any higher than what you’d get at a supermarket,” said Corbeil. “That’s one of the stigmas, that I’m more expensive. In reality, all my prices are competitive.” Corbeil tells the story of a customer who bought a five-pound beef tenderloin for $75 at a local supermarket. When he saw Corbeil’s price of $20 per pound, he thought he had a great deal. That is, until he talked to Corbeil. “I took a look at what he bought, and, of the five pounds, two pounds of it wasn’t usable,” said Corbeil. “So he really only got three pounds of meat he could use. … I don’t sell the waste portions, so, in reality, if he came to me, he would have saved money.”

Corbeil doesn’t tell the story to brag, only to point out that the way grocers sell meat is vastly different from how he sells meat. As a trained butcher and meat cutter, Corbeil uses only Alberta carcass beef that he hangs and ages personally. Meanwhile, supermarkets order their meat in vacuum-packed bags that come either pre-cut or ready-to-cut at the store. “If you cut meat from the carcass, you have to know what you’re doing,” said Corbeil. “If you put the saw in the wrong place, you can lose your shirt on a side of beef.” And contrary to what marketers have told consumers, fresh red meat isn’t necessarily the best beef out there. “I age my beef for 18 to 25 days,” said Corbeil. “The longer you age beef, the more the fibres break down and the better

Composters Still Available! The City of New Westminster still has limited quantities of backyard composters for sale. Available to New Westminster residents only, the composters will be sold at a subsidized rate on a first come, first serve basis. Backyard Composters – More in Stock Studies show that more than 40% of what we send to landfills is organic waste (eg. garden refuse, leaves, vegetable scraps, etc.), some of which can be composted at home. Participation in home composting reduces the amount of waste trucks on the road, reduces the amount of methane gas (a very potent greenhouse gas) generated from the landfills and provides a rich compost (the end product) which is an excellent nutrient-rich material to add to your garden. An 80 gallon backyard composter can be purchased at the subsidized price of $30.00 (includes tax). Worm Composting & Workshop Info – New Workshop Added! For residents who wish to compost but don’t have a backyard, worm composting may be the solution for you. Included is a one-hour instructional workshop (required before purchase) and a worm compost kit (containing a bin, tray, lid, worms, garden fork, bedding and guidebook), all for the subsidized price of $35.00 (includes tax). The next workshop will be held on Saturday, June 19, 2010 at 10:00 am. Please call Engineering Operations at 604-526-4691. Note: participants must register in advance as space is limited. For more information or to confirm availability, please contact Engineering Operations at 604-526-4691. Payment methods at time of purchase can be cash or cheque.

City woman charged with murder in death of mother BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com

A 58-year-old New Westminster woman was arrested in Burnaby on May 7 in connection with the April 19 death of her 88year-old adoptive mother. Junette Page Jobin was arrested just before 9 a.m. on the single charge of first-

degree murder of Patricia Rose Pelletier. Pelletier, the widow of a Vancouver police officer, Kenneth Pelletier, was found dead in her Vancouver home on East 51st Avenue where she lived alone. Worried relatives called 911 when they hadn’t heard from the woman for several days. “At the outset of this investigation, it was not readily apparent how [Pelletier]

died,” Vancouver police spokesman Const. Lindsey Houghton said in a news conference. “Over the course of the past three weeks, investigators have worked tirelessly to fill in the gaps and answer their many questions.” Houghton added that investigators had to wait several days for an autopsy, then more time was required for other tests

while they worked at what was a troubling case for detectives, given the relationship between the suspect and victim. A full homicide investigation team, with two detectives and support teams that at times included up to 24 officers, worked the case and reached the conclusion that Pelletier’s death was caused by ◗Death Page 4

Overcoming obstacles: MP Peter Julian, at right, was one of 26 politicians who tried out life in wheelchairs as part of an awareness day spearheaded by the Canadian Paraplegic Association.

Raising wheel awareness

Politicians spend a day in a wheelchair to get a look at life with disabilities BY JENNIFER MOREAU REPORTER jmoreau@royalcityrecord.com

Imagine balancing a tray of food on your lap, while trying to pay the cashier in a cafeteria or spending extra time getting to work while you search for an accessible entrance. Those are just a couple examples of things people in wheelchairs do every day, and on May 12, politicians in Ottawa had a chance to see what life was like in a wheelchair. Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian participated in the event to help highlight disability issues. “It was far more difficult than I expected, and it opened my eyes that we really have to make Canada more accessible,” he said. Julian was joined by 25 other politicians, mostly MPs and some senators,

who were responding to a call from the Canadian Paraplegic Association to spend their work day in a wheelchair. The annual event kicks off spinal cord injury awareness month in May. The idea is participants go about their normal working day in a wheelchair. They are only allowed to leave their chairs while in the House of Commons. There is only one wheelchair-accessible floor space in the House of Commons chamber, and that’s for Conservative MP Steven Fletcher, the only MP in a wheelchair. Julian noticed several difficulties while in the wheelchair. A two-minute bus ride became a 20-minute wait for the only wheelchair-accessible bus. He had to go around the back of the Parliament buildings to get in since the front entrance is not accessible. He also noted how little things like light switch positions and how to open and close blinds became an issue. “It is essential that able-bodied persons experience some of the challenges Canadians with disabilities face and help raise awareness of their needs and abilities,” Julian said.

someone else and made the link to Jobin, Houghton said. The Vancouver Police Department spent most of the weekend of May 8 and 9 searching an area near the Ocean View Burial Park in Burnaby for evidence in the case. Houghton added there was no evidence of any other crimes and there are no other suspects in the

murder. Though investigators know what it is, Houghton said they are declining to disclose the cause of death and are releasing no further information about Pelletier, the relationship between her and her daughter or any other details that might constitute evidence. He added that Pelletier’s relationship to the Vancouver police added a dimension to the emotional

involvement of officers. Pelletier ’s husband, Kenneth, joined the Vancouver police sometime around 1947, according to Houghton, and served with the department for about 25 years before his death in 1972. Houghton said Kenneth Pelletier was still on the force when he died, but his death was not in the line of duty. – with files from The Vancouver Sun

OUR VIEW

But those concerns do not excuse the vacuum-sealed approach to releasing information. Moreover, even if you can find the information, you still often have to pay for its compilation – in amounts that make it prohibitive to obtain. Then government stalling tactics and appeals often stretch the potential release of information for months and months. This past week, democracy was also dealt another blow when the Supreme Court of Canada decided, in an 8-1 split, not to back the National Post’s actions to protect a confidential source. The deci-

sion does not mean that journalists will not try to protect their sources, but it certainly means that those who would try will face less legal support – and that will send a chill through journalists and whistleblowers. (For the editor’s view, go to Pat Tracy’s blog, From the editor’s desk, at www.royalcityrecord.com.) If the CNA thinks B.C. deserved a D+ , we’d also like to add a D– to the Supreme Court’s report card. Both deserve a failing grade where democracy and freedom of information are concerned.

Dear Editor:

By the time you read this, I may have officially vanished from the society of Canadian motorists, wandering in a twilight land unrecognized by ICBC’s world of bureaucracy. It began with the misfortune of losing my driver’s licence. No, I didn’t sell it to a budding terrorist or leave it illicitly jammed in a doorlatch. Chances are it escaped when I pulled the Care Card or other vital document from my wallet. So I had to go to ICBC’s motor vehicle licence and driver persecution centre in the bowels of Metrotown in Burnaby. Waiting in line for 40 minutes was almost tolerable, because it reminded me of the long-gone times of similar lineups in Disneyland, although on this occasion I didn’t end up with the Pirates of the

Caribbean but the pirates of motor vehicle regulations. When my turn finally came, I admitted my loss of licence to a Ms. C. and offered my passport as proof of identity. She asked for another document, and I gave her my Care Card. To my chagrin, Ms. C. then informed me that I was in limbo because my passport and Care Card included my full middle name, while my driver licence computer file had only a middle initial. The documents did not jibe! I must produce my birth certificate to qualify for a new picture licence, she ruled. I suppose I was lucky she didn’t call in CSIS. This meant I would have to go to my credit union back in New Westminster and get my birth certificate out of my safe deposit box, then return with the goods to Miss C. But, meanwhile, she took my $17 and my photo,

Throw in a visit to a government institution, and the rating goes up to walking barefoot over broken lightbulbs. I pleaded that my passport had been accepted as proof of my existence at assorted international airports, from Vancouver to London, but Ms. C. was having none of it. She offered one break: When I returned with certificate as ordered, I would not have to wait in line but could go directly into her presence (provided she was at work at the time). I called the ICBC information line and learned that my passport really, really should have been adequate for the ID job, but that is now of little use. As a minion of the Crown, Ms. C. must be obeyed or I might face a third visit to the magic castle of shopkeepers, burning yet more expensive gasoline. And another nagging thought occurs: If I couldn’t find my birth certificate, would I be officially banished to pedestrianism?

Living wage is needed

Dear Editor:

I am responding to a letter against the new living wage bylaw (Living wage not sensible, Letters to the editor, The Record, May 5). I am shocked that Mr. Evans is “appalled” by this motion. Surely, he must be aware how expensive it is to live in the Lower Mainland? Undoubtedly he is aware of the financial pressures families are facing? Report after report have bombarded us with how many of our fellow British Columbians live in poverty, not to mention the fact that many of these are children. This is completely unacceptable. This motion made me proud to live in New Westminster, a place that recognizes the importance of being paid a fair wage for work done. Mr. Evans is correct that the minimum wage should be increased. He said he is wary about doing it now, but I don’t understand how having people live in poverty is a palatable option. I am pleased our council saw a problem and took action to make New Westminster a livable community. I hope that other communities and employers will follow New Westminster’s lead.

Tony Eberts, New Westminster

regressive at the top. And shockingly, the richest one per cent of Canadians now pay less as a portion of their income than the poorest 10 per cent. The vast majority of Canadians have been the net losers. Tax cuts have compromised Canadian public services: whittling away our social safety net, diminishing the quality of our public education and health-care systems and eroding our basic transportation and communication infrastructure. It’s time to bring fairness back into Canada’s tax system. As conservative historian Michael Bliss recently wrote: “Inequality of compensation has soared in our time, as the rich have become much richer and much less taxed. Higher taxes on high incomes would begin to narrow the immense chasm that has opened up between the

über-rich and the ordinary North American.” The first step is to make corporate Canada part of the solution, instead of being part of the problem. It starts with reversing broad based cuts to Canada’s corporate income tax system. These cuts do nothing for corporations whose profits have been obliterated by the economic crisis. They benefit profitable companies, notably banks and oil companies, who are more likely to build up cash balances, take over other companies or buy back their own shares instead of making real job creating investments. The second step is to bring fairness back into Canada’s personal income tax system, beginning with a new higher tax rate for those with incomes over $250,000 a year. Reversing the Harper GST cuts is also important. The additional $12 bil-

lion a year that our federal coffers would gain from restoring the GST to seven per cent (with an expanded tax credit to protect low-income earners) could build a national PharmaCare program and a home care program for our senior citizens. It could fund a national child-care program for the next generation of young Canadians. It could plant the seeds for a green economy. They say timing is everything. Any move to increase taxes will need to be phased in once Canada’s fragile economic recovery takes firmer root. But that Canadians are finally starting to have an adult conversation about taxation – instead of only seeing red – is a healthy sign. It bodes well for Canada’s future.

motion is that the new schools won’t be built for at least four years. “I’m not prepared to tie the board to a motion to not do anything for four years – that doesn’t make sense to me,” Atkinson said. Ewen supported Watt’s motion, which isn’t surprising given that he was one of the trustees to vote

against a staff recommendation to close Hume Park Elementary in the spring of 2009. The school was being considered for closure that year to help slice $3.1 million from the school district’s 2009/10 preliminary budget. “I think it’s based on a belief that schools shouldn’t be closed,” Ewen

said about his support for the moratorium on school closures. As for the argument that it will affect future boards, he said any decision the board makes would impact future boards. He called it a “specious argument” and said, “Everything that we do is tying the hands of future boards.”

Since the school district cut back on custodial hours in this year, to deal with a budget shortfall, parents at two schools – Herbert Spencer and F.W. Howay – have come forward with complaints about the cleanliness of their schools. Responding to a letter from parents at Herbert Spencer, which stated that the school’s principal sometimes had to clean up washrooms, board of education chair James Janzen said the district is performing a system-wide review of overall maintenance in the district. Templeton will be performing that review, Janzen said. The district’s maintenance department did not return Record calls for comment. – nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster school district recently hired a new director of facilities and operations. Doug Templeton took over the position, which had been filled by district management since former operations director Larry Bryce retired more than a year ago. Templeton had worked as a director of operations in the Chilliwack school district. “Doug came up through the Chilliwack maintenance department, taking on increasing roles of leadership and responsibility,” says a New Westminster school district press release. “Recently, he has worked on a variety of capital projects in the province. Doug impressed the committee with his vision and leadership.”

The new crop of representatives on the district parent advisory council includes some of the most vocal critics of the school district over the last year. At its meeting Thursday night, the district-wide parent group elected former vice-chair Paul Johansen to take over as chair from Margot Barton. MaryAnn Mortensen, who was the parent council’s secretary, is now vice-chair. District parent council representative Andrea Walton is the treasurer, and Wendy Harris is secretary. “We want to improve communication. It’s been a longstanding issue in the district,” said Johansen, whose children go to F.W. Howay Elementary. One of the parent council’s goals is to build a website and have a link on the school district’s website, Johansen said. The district parent council also wants to “develop better relations and mend some fences,” he said. Over the last year, the district council has called for the Ministry of Education to appoint a special advisor to oversee the school district, has held a public rally to protest delays on the high school construction project and has urged British Columbia’s auditor general to look into the district’s financial affairs. (The auditor general complied and is now reviewing the books.) The district parent advisory council has representatives from every school in the district. The executive is elected to look after the district parent council’s operations. – Niki Hope

photography exhibition by Colin MacArthur is the latest in the Arts Council of New Westminster’s ongoing series of exhibits. MacArthur’s Facets of Eve exhibition is underway at the gallery until May 29. “My camera is my sketch book, my computer and my printer are my paint box and my easel,” MacArthur says in information provided on the arts council’s website. “My aim as an artist is not to show you what I see, but rather to show you how I feel about what I see. I endeavour to capture the personality and femininity of my subjects and to leave on paper a moment in time that will transcend us both.” The gallery is at Centennial Lodge, Queen’s Park, and it’s open 1 to 5 p.m. daily except Mondays (when it’s closed). Call 604-5253244 for information or e-mail info@artscouncilnewwest.org. See www.artscouncilnewwest. org.

Art lovers should also pop by the New Westminster Public Library to check out a couple of exhibits ongoing till the end of May. In the reference department is Jim Walsh’s show, Looking Out My Backdoor, full of colourful acrylic paintings that detail the beauty of spring in his garden. On the ramp gallery, Children’s World features the work of three young artists – Christine Wu, 10, Kayla Tulpar, 8, and Vera Lin, 10 – who are students of Shavon Cheng. Their work includes paintings and plasticene art. The art can be viewed at any time during library hours at 716 Sixth Ave. For information, call the library at 604-527-4660.

Reaching out: Fran Mackenzie, founder of the community lunch at Queens Avenue United Church, visited the church on Wednesday to help celebrate the program’s 15th anniversary.

Fifteen years of helping

Community lunch at Queens marks 15 years of service BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Fran Mackenzie can’t help but smile as she scans the contented crowd dining at Wednesday’s community lunch at Queens Avenue United Church. In 1995, Fran and Malcolm Mackenzie started the community lunch at the New Westminster church. On Wednesday, she dropped by as the program celebrated its 15th anniversary. “I feel just terrific. I think it’s amazing. It’s something that was very desperately needed so I knew it would carry on,” said Mackenzie, who has lived in New Westminster all her life. “There were so many hungry people in New Westminster. I remember them saying, we have to do something because there are so many people suffering.” A group of six people got together to plan the community lunch program. “It was simple – soup and sandwiches at first,” Mackenzie recalled. “One of the congregation donated a huge freezer – very old. It didn’t last very long, but it was wonderful.” Catherine Fleming, who’s coordinated the program for the past decade, estimates that the lunch program has probably fed more than 90,000 people through the years. “That’s a lot of meals,” she said. “We are doing God’s work.” Winifred Franklin has been volunteering with the program since its inception. “It went over very well. We started out with soup and sandwiches,” she said. “The numbers kept on growing. We got more adventurous until we were serving a more substantive lunch.”

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Community spirit: Hazel Kyle, left, and Louise Arnott chat over dessert at the Queens Avenue United Church community lunch 15th anniversary celebration. Nowadays, a typical lunch includes casserole, plenty of vegetables, coleslaw and beverages. Cookies and other treats that are donated are sometimes served. “It’s just great. I do appreciate the work of the volunteers. I am no longer able to work in the kitchen. Our volunteers are elderly. They are very, very devoted,” Franklin said. “It is a need we think we can and should fill.” While she’s no longer able to shop for the program, Franklin still schedules the volunteers needed to put on the weekly lunch. “We have a Tuesday crew who come in and cook. The Wednesday crew comes in

and serves,” she said. “That’s why we do casseroles – we can put them in the oven. There are occasions where we serve soup, sandwiches and salad.” The folks who attend the community lunch at Queens Avenue United Church are grateful, no matter what’s being served. “It’s great. Without this lunch every Wednesday, I would have a tougher time. I look forward to this,” said Paul Thompson, who has attended various community meal programs. “This is classified as one of the good lunches.” In addition to a home-cooked meal, Thompson said the volunteers demonstrate ◗Lunch Page 12

a lot of “love and tenderness” to the people coming for lunch. “Without it, we would be hungry for the day. One-half of these people are here all the time,” said Pat Murray, another regular attendee. “It’s excellent. They do a very good job. They never let us volunteer to clean up, they do it all themselves.” The church served a record 280 meals for its anniversary lunch. Numbers vary from week to week, month to month. “It depends on the time of the month. I average 500 in a month,” Fleming said. “Welfare day, I might get 60; a week earlier I might have 200.” The Fiji Canada Association pre-

pared Wednesday’s anniversary luncheon. While the church volunteers do all the shopping, cooking and serving of the weekly lunches, a couple times a year the Fiji Canada Association provides and cooks the meal for special occasions. A number of people who have been involved with the program since its inception continue to volunteer at community lunch, even though some are now in their 80s. Fleming said the program feeds a variety of people, including seniors and street people. People from all cultures, faiths and ages attend the weekly lunch. These days, Fleming said the program is seeing more “newly needy” people, who have had to make choices on where to spend their money

as a result of government cutbacks in various areas. As an example, she said someone might be cutting back on food purchases in order to buy glaucoma medication that’s no longer covered. “They can’t afford everything,” she noted. “This is a community lunch. We welcome everyone. We are very inclusive.” More than 6,000 people attend the lunch program each year. “The numbers have gone up over the years,” Fleming said. “There are a lot of folks finding themselves in new needful situations.” For more on this story, see Theresa McManus’s Only in New West blog on The Record’s website at www.royalcityrecord. com.

Decorate a chair, then take it to the parade Saturday, May 23. People wanting to participate in the contest can decorate their chair and set it up on Sixth Street between Third Avenue and St. George Street. Terri Rodger, a past president of the Hyack Festival Association, has attended parades around the Pacific Northwest with the Hyack Festival Association. “As a parade participant, one thing that is great is having lots of spectators, three or four or five people deep,” she said.

Prizes for getting creative during this year’s parade BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Royal City residents are invited to show their community spirit and creativity in this year’s Best Decorated Chair contest at the Hyack International Parade. The annual parade takes place on

“When you are in the States, the Americans along the parade route are five to 10 people deep for the whole parade route. They are so warm and welcoming, ‘Welcome Canada,’ ‘Thanks for coming Canada.’” Rodger, who is The Record’s display advertising supervisor, noticed one particular stretch along the Hyack International Parade route that didn’t have a lot of spectators. “We are trying to build up that area,”

she said. “We thought, what better way than through a contest.” The contest, sponsored by The Record, is now in its second year. “It can be a chair, it can be a couch,” Rodger said. “Remember, whatever you bring you have to take home.” Prizes for this year’s contest include a $250 gift certificate to Royal City Centre and a $100 gift certificate to La Rustica. “Hopefully each year it is going to get bigger and better,” Rodger said.

◗ THINGS TO SEE

Check out two kinds of art in library The two art shows at the New Westminster Public Library in May are both sophisticated and simplistic. In the reference department, Jim Walsh’s show, Looking Out My Backdoor, pulls you into the beauty of spring in his garden, where he has let wild poppies take over parts of the year. Using bold brush strokes, these colourful acrylic paintings show a riot of orange and green. On the ramp, Children’s World features the art of three young artists, Christine Wu, 10, Kayla Tulpar, 8, and Vera Lin, 10, all students of Shavon Cheng. Their youthful, creative imaginations can be seen in their paintings and intricate, plasticene art. The art can be seen at any time during library open hours.

Hyacks settle for second seeding

Middie leads team to NCAA ﬁeld lax tourney

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The Burnaby Central Wildcats made no mistake showing who was the No. 1 team in the school district. Central showed its speed and execution early, finishing off two set pieces in the opening minutes of play before downing the New Westminster Hyacks 5-0 in the BurWest AAA high school girls’ soccer final at Burnaby Lake-West Tuesday. Alisha Penev put the Wildcats ahead in the first minute of play, heading in a Tessa Barbour corner that resulted from the opening kickoff. Minutes later, Penev had a second opportunity off a similar Barbour corner but headed that one just wide of the near post. “The last two games we played against (New Westminster) were pretty good, but we weren’t expecting to come out and score like we did, but we’re not complaining,” said Penev, who will play at the University of B.C. next season. Central defeated the Hyacks 2-0 late in the regular season, after playing to a 1-1 draw in their first meeting. Penev, who scored three goals in the match, including a pair of second-half counters, said the difference was the play of Barbour and Kim Van Duynhoven in the midfield. “When we have a full turnout, it’s good,” she said, adding the bench has been a little stretched at times earlier in the year. Van Duynhoven headed in a second Barbour corner at the 15minute mark to give Central a comfortable 2-0 half-time lead. Van Duynhoven made it 3-0 midway through the second half, ripping a first-time volley from 30 metres that one-hopped past the Hyack keeper to the far post. Minutes later, Penev got her second, neatly flicking a clever

Penev’s final goal came on a long kick to goal that just snuck in under the crossbar. Central will likely take on provincially top-ranked Argyle in the zone championship match Monday, May 17 at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West. Game time

is scheduled for 3 p.m. But with a full lineup and all pistons firing, Penev likes the team’s chances. “(Barbour) kicks in great corners and gets great shots, and we have some players who can really attack in the air, so hopefully that’s where we can really make a difference,” Penev added.

New Westminster will face the North Shore runner-up at the same time and venue Monday. Also being played on Monday, the St. Thomas More Knights will face Alpha Secondary in the Burnaby/New Westminster district AA high school girls’ soccer final at Burnaby North Turf. Game time is 3:30 p.m.

New Westminster ’s Kevin Crowley led Stony Brook University to its first America East conference varsity field lacrosse title in eight years last Saturday. The first round draft pick of the Western Lacrosse Association Burnaby Lakers scored three goals to give the eighth-seeded Seawolves an 11-7 victory over University at Albany in the championship conference title game on May 8. The win gives Stony Brook an automatic berth into the NCAA Division I championships, which begins Saturday. Junior teammate Jordan McBride added a pair of markers for Stony Brook, breaking Kevin Pall’s career school record of 133 tallies with his conferenceleading 48th goal of the campaign. Crowley was named to the all-championship team following the tournament. He led the America East with 71 points, including 46 goals Earlier, Stony Brook got the first of two hat tricks from Crowley in a 10-6 win over Vermont in the America East semifinal on May 4. Stony Brook takes on the University of Denver in the first round of the Div. 1 national championships. A win would likely put the Seawolves in line for a second-round matchup against No. 1 Virginia.

Netball nationals spans the generations BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The opening ceremonies for the Canadian national netball championships at Burnaby Mountain Secondary School next weekend will tell a lot about what the sport is all about. Children of ex-national team players will walk in hand-inhand with the captains of each provincial open, u-23 and u-18 team to symbolize the spirit of netball being passed from generation to generation. In B.C., that spirit lives on with the athletes, who were taught by their teachers now playing sideby-side as teammates. There are also three pairs of

netball-playing sisters on B.C. teams taking part in this year’s netball national championships. Four of them are from Burnaby, Damara and Danette Mui, and Ashley and Olivia Joe. Damara and Ashley play on B.C.’s under-23 team, while younger sisters Danette and Olivia will be making their national debut with the u-18 provincial team. Both Danette and Olivia were turned on to the sport by their older sisters. But that is where the similarity ends. Olivia, a Grade 11 student at Alpha Secondary, is an offensive player, while Ashley, who is in her third year at Douglas College, prefers a more defensive role.

The same is also true of the Mui sisters. Damara, who coaches netball at Mountain, plays in the front court while Danette is more a back-court player. But it is the togetherness of the sport that keeps them all close. They all understand the sport, a mix of basketball without the dribbling and three-point shooting and European handball, as something different, more fun and equally rewarding as other team sports. “In other sports, you have a more dominant person, but in this sport everyone has to work together, and if you don’t, you’re dead,” said Danette. The fact that few people even know what netball is all about is

a double-edge sword. “That’s the downside,” said Olivia. “No one’s really seen it. But when they do, they think it’s pretty cool.” Netball B.C. president Ann Willcocks would be pleased to hear that. It’s part of what B.C.’s Ms. Netball calls the association’s “core values.” “It’s difficult, Willcock said about selling the game. “You have to work as a team in this sport. … Players have to first understand that working together means needing each other.” In netball, there are no single rushes up the court, no hail-Mary passes, just an intricate series of short passes on a string that even-

tually lead to an uncontested shot at goal if done properly. “I think that is what is the beauty of the game,” Willcocks added. “You have to work with the other players and, therefore, have to be more considerate of each other.” It’s perhaps not surprising that the association believes strongly that open players should mentor the younger u-23s, who in turn are expected to help bring along the u-18 players. It is as much to ensure the longevity of the sport in the province as it is to instill in others the importance of needing each other to succeed. ◗Netball Page 20

Splish, splash: New Westminster Hyack Gabby Napoleone got an unexpected soaking in the water jump during the girls’ steeplechase at the Burnaby/New Westminster track and ﬁeld meet at Swangard Stadium on Wednesday.

Juniors unbeaten in three It was the Mydske night at the Queen’s Park Arena Tuesday. The two lacrosse-playing brothers accounted for nearly half of the New Westminster Salmonbellies’ goal production following a 15-4 trouncing of the Port Coquitlam Saints. Older brother Leif Mydske counted a seasonhigh five goals to pace the junior A Salmonbellies, while Reid Mydske accounted for his first two tallies of the year, including a shorthanded goal with just two minutes left on the clock. Mark Negrin, who had

16 goals in 18 games last season, opened the scoring in the first two minutes of play with his first of three on the night. Negrin already has a team-high 11 markers in his first three games of the year and is scoring at a sizzling league-best 55-per cent shot average. Leif Mydske and Negrin both finished the game with six-point nights. Tyler Digby and T.J. Cowx chipped in with five points apiece. Brandon Mulligan backstopped the win, allowing just two goals in 55 minutes before giving up a pair

of late counters to the lowly Saints. The win moved the Salmonbellies to 3-0 in the B.C. junior A league, tying them with last year’s champion, Coquitlam Adanacs, for second place. The Burnaby Lakers currently lead the league with a 4-1 record. New Westminster takes on the Victoria Shamrocks this Sunday at Queen’s Park Arena. Game time is 5 p.m. The junior ‘Bellies are back to their regular home date on Tuesday to host the Delta Islanders at Queen’s Park. Faceoff is 8 p.m.

“We really do try to live up to our core values. If you’re in trouble, you can’t do it on your own,” said Willcocks. Damara and Ashley understand that principle. Playing a game of passand-run is the perfect combination of skills for the

two older sisters. “I don’t need to worry about messing up my dribbling or missing a layup. It’s just perfect for me,” Ashley said. But being part of the building process to keep the sport alive is perhaps the most rewarding part of the game.

“We live in different areas, we go to different schools, but when we step on the court, we’re a family,” said Damara. The nationals will take place at Burnaby Mountain, beginning Saturday, May 22 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Games continue Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

EDUCATION GARAGE SALES PETS & LIVESTOCK What’s wrong with me? That’s the question I get asked when I meet people who are having difficulty finding a job after months of searching. With all the news about the economic recovery, they wonder why, in their own job search, they’re not meeting with success. If you find yourself in this situation, there is nothing Gregg Taylor currently “wrong with you” at all. This situation can arise from a number of different factors including the following: 1) There are few jobs available in your specific career or industry niche. An increasing number of jobs may be available, but that doesn’t mean that jobs are available in your sector. 2) Job and role requirements in a sector can shift over time, meaning that although you may have qualified for and performed the job just fine in the past employers are looking for a slightly different mix of skills now. 3) Your time in your current career field is stale dated. Although you are diligently looking for work, somewhere inside you’ve realized that you’ve had enough of that kind of work. You may be doing all the ‘right’ things, but without the same enthusiasm required to make the necessary contacts or impress employers. (Your ambivalence may be showing.) The answer to this is to review your career direction and focus and adapt new strategies that will increase your chances of success. Possible strategies could include: • Broaden your geographic search • Broaden the range of industries that you approach. Are there other industries that could use some or all of your skills in a different type of job? • Have you thought about a career change? Perhaps this is the opportunity to assess your options and take steps towards making the change. • What about retraining, skills upgrading or school? You will gain momentum knowing that you are renewing your credentials and learning new skills. These are just a few career strategies to use in tough times. If you need support and help in assessing your options, assistance is available. Call 604-681-2774 for information.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Settle into a few days of rest Sunday to noon Tuesday. Soon, you’re going to be very busy. Woo no one Sunday/Monday – love affairs started then would be short and disappointing, or long and disappointing. Romance is the main theme Tuesday eve to Thursday – and it’s complex! Illusion runs everywhere, almost like an elf; but clear, sober sight alternates. Stick with the latter. The same applies to creative and speculative ventures. Thursday night begins four weeks of travel, paperwork, details, calls, casual contacts and siblings. It starts with a major decision about work, duties.

Cancer June 21-July 22: This is a week of choices, of opposite extremes, and an attempt to reconcile or bring together competing people or ideas. The “poles” involve communications, relationships, ethics, ideas and philosophical (or religious) convictions, law, education or travel. E.g., do you travel to the next town, or to Africa? Attend college or night school? Remain “just friends” or get married? Both choices are valid. But: don’t fall in love before Tuesday dawn, and don’t fall for sexual illusion mid-week. The “casual” breeds partnership; the long, elevated, legal, international point to work luck.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Mysteries & dark attractions give way to understanding and the light of love Thursday night onward. Don’t chase love Sunday to Wednesday: a long-term disappointment lurks. If you break up Wednesday, consider yourself lucky. Despite these dire words, mid-week ﬁnds you actually happy, ﬂirtatious, optimistic and social! (Just forget infatuation.) Sink into rest, solitude and contemplation Thursday night to Saturday: a month of mental expansion, travel, new love and intellectual joy is just beginning. You attract attention, glances Saturday night. But hesitate about love, two more days.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Travel, paperwork, details and casual communications are slated Sunday to Tuesday. Speak carefully – beware of promising something that you have doubts about. Your money interests meet two barriers: one relates to romance, kids, home and family; the other to outside interests, friends, social factors. As the week ages, you might discern that the real problem is not money, but home versus the outside world, kids versus friends, romance versus ﬂirtations, career. Success is yours if you combine them. Rest mid-week. Romance, pleasure bless you Friday/Saturday. A money phase begins!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Keep working hard through Thursday –you could take one last big step in ambitious regions Tuesday to Thursday. (Before Tuesday, work quietly, with naps.) You’ve been somewhat suspicious of others, particularly of potential (or actual) partners for over a decade. This trend will fade away after 2011, but for now – this week – be neither suspicious nor gullible, especially Wednesday. All week, ﬁnancial decisions and choices face you. Choose a long-term outlook, investing, net worth, over “quick money” or mere spending. A month of ﬂirtations, popularity and fun begins Friday!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: What had been opportunity turns, late week, into a month of commitment. You’ll either grab an opportunity in a way that binds you, or walk away to seek change. Either works, so follow your instincts. This entire week (and May 23) is ﬁlled with choices between competing roads, people, forces. Until Wednesday eve, much of this involves sex, ﬁnances, health or commitment. Thursday onward, the choices are “lighter” – friends or a lover, a present indulgence or plan for the future? A casual relationship or a profound one? Lover, indulgence, profundity are lucky – to a degree.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Through Thursday, you remain sequestered, tired, contemplative, quiet. But a month of such is ending. Thursday eve into the weekend you can courageously end a situation, relationship or task/burden. This will be followed by a true surge of energy, optimism and effectiveness. This upsurge might not arrive until May 23, because you struggle all this week, right into Saturday night, with a tug-o-war between home-domestic-property-securitykid-related urges and demands, and those calling you away from home, to career, prestige and ambition projects. Maybe this relates to ending something!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Mellow times draw to a close. Still, you’ll like this week. Sunday to noon Tuesday brings popularity, entertainment, ﬂirtations, optimism about your future (and it’s justiﬁed!). Retreat, rest, contemplate and plan mid-week. Scan the horizon to study barriers and how to overcome them. Your energy and charisma rise Thursday night, just as a month of career, ambition, prestige relations and status situations enters. (VIPs favour you to Wednesday.) This week holds both opportunities and challenges in relationships, negotiations and dealings with strangers. You meet someone cheerful.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: At last, a month of hard work, boredom and health concerns ends (well, by Thursday night) – the fresh breeze of opportunity enters! Expect relationship excitement, new vistas & people, contracts & agreements, the possibility of relocation. But this week confronts you with a series of serious choices. Though others have treated you affectionately for the last few weeks, now you have to choose (Sunday/Monday) between affection (relationships generally) and ambition. Then, Tuesday/Wednesday, between affection and security or family. Then, late week, between ambition and home. Ah, well.

Pets

May 16 - 22 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: A romantic, creative, pleasurable, sports-filled or beauty-oriented phase yields to a month of hard work and health concerns by Thursday night. But a streak of those good things will last into mid-June. (Best if romance, as the planet causing it is Venus.) Relationships, opportunities and fresh vistas confront you Sunday to Tuesday, but results are mixed. Romance with someone you met (or meet) in a group can succeed, so do casual Starbuckstype friendships and intellectual or legal affairs. But forget co-worker romance, and money’s deceptive. Mysteries mid-week. Gentle love late week! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: You’re still “confined” to home, domestic and security concerns until Thursday night. Then a month of pleasure, romance, creativity and “winning” arrives! But somehow it comes about through a deep change you make, or it accompanies this change. The smaller the change, perhaps the less of a bang this lucky month ahead will make. (I could be wrong.) The whole week presents a series of challenges or choices. Romance won’t partner with sex, creativity won’t co-operate with money, Sunday to Wednesday. DO NOT begin a love these few days. Late week, money choices. But happiness looms! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Though the weeks ahead bring a slow-down, that’s actually good news, because it ends a rather wasteful spinning of your wheels. A travel, paperwork and errand-filled trend ends Thursday night, and a quiet, deep, meaningful few weeks begin. This week presents many choices. You might face the prospect of ending or deepening a relationship early week: the outcomes are, oddly, so similar that I have no advice except this: don’t start a new love (or any) relationship before Thursday. This night to Saturday brings relationship excitement, new horizons: quiet, sober, secure ones. Hmmm. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Heritage Homes Tour & Tea 2010 Sunday, May 30, 2010 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. You won’t want to miss this year’s outstanding line-up of beautiful homes, from early 1900s’ restorations to a recently updated 1950s’ modern classic.

Where the money goes?

Funds raised go to preserve and protect our heritage as well as to enhance our communities. In 2010, funds from ticket sales are donated to: • The New Westminster Heritage Foundation, a non-proﬁt society co-funded by the City of New Westminster to ﬁnancially assist owners of municipally designated heritage homes.The Foundation’s goal is to encourage voluntary municipal heritage designation and to assist homeowners in their restoration efforts through the Foundation’s house grants program. • Tourism New Westminster, to support publication of the Historic New Westminster Walking Tour brochure. • Queen’s Park Healthcare Foundation, dedicated to the highest standard of care for Queen’s Park Care Centre residents, patients and clients.

B. 506 Seventh Avenue A. 1320 Seventh Avenue The Martin and Fannie O’Malley St. Aidan’s Church (1910) Celebrating a century House (1927) (The Mercer Cottage)

of service is this lovely Presbyterian Church in New Westminster’s West End. Although the originally wood-clad St. Aidan’s is now stuccoed (similar to many older churches in the city that wanted to reduce exterior maintenance costs), it still boasts a ﬁne selection of well-preserved original stained glass windows that highlight some of the church’s benefactors over the years, including W.J. Malcom, one of the church’s ﬁrst elders who was instrumental in having the church built on this site. St Aidan’s was the home of a drama group of the Young People’s Society known as the Unity Club,which developed into the present day Vagabond Players who are now based at the Bernie Legge Theatre in Queen’s Park. In 2000, St. Aidan’s won the “Institutional Award” for the best lighting display as part of the city’s Millennium year celebrations. The congregation plans a variety of displays and interactive events so please drop by to wish them a happy birthday.

This charming cottage in the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood is hidden behind a row of mature shrubbery and may be overlooked on ﬁrst glance. However, its place in local history cannot be ignored.It has connections to the Mercer family who travelled from Newfoundland to settle in the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood at the turn of the century.The main Mercer family home is located at 227 Ninth Street which has been on tour several times. It was built in 1927 by B.C. Electric motorman Martin Godfrey O’Malley for his bride Fannie Gertrude Mercer.The two wed in 1929 and called this cottage home for almost two decades. Martin died in 1948 and Fannie in 1987. Fannie’s sister Clara Mercer lived with her widowed sister for several years before Fannie passed away and Clara herself went into care. The current owners took on a massive project of cleaning, restoring and mechanically updating the “Mercer

The kitchen needed immediate attention and the owners have created a modern kitchen that respects the past with new wood cabinetry that in large part mirrors the original layout of the room. A built-in seating area was removed long ago. The original pass-through from the kitchen to the dining room has been retained as a glass curio cabinet. Behind the kitchen is a sun porch/laundry area that was added in 1942. This porch overlooks the backyard that has been designed to accommodate the canine residents of the home. The owners, however, have also created a private oasis for the rest of the family with a side deck off the kitchen perfect for summer entertaining.

C. 431 Fourth Street Georgina and William Spalding House (1890) In 1890, Georgina Charlotte and William H. Falding were the first owners of this lovely Queen Anne-style cottage in what was then a mainly rural Queen’s Park neighbourhood. In 1929, George Gray—a steamroller driver for the city—and his wife Olga bought the property. It remained in their family until 1982, when the Heritage Preservation Society purchased it.By this time the home had fallen into serious disrepair. The society’s initial plan was to restore the home to its 1890 appearance, sell it and use the proceeds to purchase and rehabilitate another heritage home. But a downturn in the real estate market changed these plans.The society finally finished restoring the home in 1985 and sold it to the current owners. Despite the cottage’s diminutive appearance, inside the ceiling height is a stately 11 feet in the hallway, living room, dining room and front den. The floors in the living and dining rooms are unusually narrow planks, 2 ¼” fir. The living room features a salvaged fireplace. The frosted white and pink light fixtures are the only original ones in the house.In the dining room,the owners installed a stunning Venetian glass chandler. The wainscoting is panelled cedar. The den’s fir woodwork and flooring was restored.

In 1910, this Arts and Crafts home was built for Herbert R. Davidson, manager of the Bank of Commerce. Since the home was last on the tour in 1999, the owners researched the architectural firm credited with designing the home, F. G. Gardiner and A. L. Mercer. Now, they believe the home was designed by predecessors Frank George Gardiner and William Frederick Gardiner. Whentheownerspurchasedthehomein1979,theyconfrontedshagcarpet,whitewoodwork, acoustic ceiling tiles, virtually no original lighting, and many original windows gone. The exterior is shingle-sided with two front cross-gables withTudor board trim.The exterior paint scheme of brown with cream trim and dark green sash is period appropriate. Typical of Arts and Crafts interiors, the living hall is dominated by dark-stained woodwork: seven-foot high wainscoting; chamfered posts; staircase incised with a spade-headed arrow motif.It`s illuminated by a large,first floor window and a band of same-sized“clerestory”windows. The only original light fixtures are on either side of the fireplace.

This handsome early Craftsman-style home with its corner location in the centre of the Queen’s Park neighbourhood was built in 1910 for the Levy family. Captain Austin S. Levy, who at one time captained the S.S. Helen Scanlon which ferried passengers to and from Ladner and Delta, lived here for approximately 10 years before it was sold to the Bracher family.William and Ruth lived here with their family. One of their three daughters, Dorothy, a long-time nurse at Royal Columbian Hospital, lived in the Levy house until the mid-1990s. This lovely home is celebrating its 100th birthday. Over the past year the new owners have begun restoring the home’s exterior by removing the large,striated wood shakes to reveal the original combination of shingles and channel siding. They have repainted the home in hues of yellow and brown similar to the original colours. The lovely wood accents that adorn the upstairs balcony off the master bedroom are being replaced with intricate detailed pieces that match as much as possible with the original look.

G. 510 First Street The Kathleen and Reginald Ashworth house (1927) Thislovelyhome,making its ﬁrst appearance on the homes tour,was built in 1927 for Reginald and Kathleen Ashworth. Mr. Ashworth was a wellknown teacher and principal in the local school district. The Ashworth house is a ﬁne example of a 1920s home that incorporates elements of a Cape Cod-dormered cottage and the Dutch Colonial style. It is one of the few such homes in the city. One of the most striking features is simply the light. The sunlight streams through the many windows on all sides of this home. Its corner location and an abundance of windows help the home avoid being overshadowed by the large trees across the street in Queen’s Park. The present owners have done a wonderful job of blending the old and new in this delightful home.The age-old question—how to balance the needs of a family home while still maintaining its heritage features? It’s a challenge but the key is to make it your own oasis and the homeowners have done that.

The family moved into the house on August 5, 1865. Sadly, Captain Irving died suddenly seven years later in 1872. In 1884, the widowed Elizabeth Irving sold the house to her eldest daughter, Mary, who had married Thomas Lasher Briggs in 1874. The Briggs family renovated the house in 1887 and the original gold wallpaper they uninstalled then is still in place in two front rooms. They called the house “Hollymount” and raised nine children here.

Derrick Thornhill Realtor

William Irving was born in Scotland in 1816, went to sea and eventually became a captain with his own ship. After coming to the West Coast during the California Gold Rush in 1849, he met his wife-to-be Elizabeth Jane Dixon in Portland, Oregon in 1851. They were married that same year and later had ﬁve children. In 1859, the family moved to Victoria during the Fraser River gold rush and Captain Irving began operating sternwheelers on the Fraser. Captain Irving had this house designed and built by T.W. Graham. Contrary to the legends, it was neither built by the Royal Engineers, nor was it built in 1862 to 1864.

D. 233 Fourth Street John & Emily Colbourne House (1939) This distinctive house was built in 1939 for master mariner John Colbourne and his wife Emily.Colbourne was a pilot for the New Westminster District Pilotage Authority. (As a pilot on a tugboat he would have been responsible for steering ships into and out of the Fraser River.) The Colbournes called Fourth Street home for almost 20 years. This house exhibits many of the quintessential elements of a home of this era. The cross-hall plan, the inlaid hardwood floors, the curved doorways, the tiled fireplace and the glass doors are all examples of popular features of this time. The prestigious architectural firm of McCarter and Nairne, well-known for such projects as Vancouver’s Art Deco beauty, the Marine Building, had a division that specialized in residential construction, and so it is no surprise that this home was “cutting edge” for its time. This was an ultra modern custom-built home designed for the Colbournes. The current owners of the Colbourne House are in transition.They are saying goodbye to this home as they embark on the rather daunting but exhilarating restoration of the H.T. Kirk House (aka the Canadian Dance Academy) located at the corner of Third Street and Third Avenue.

J. 239 Sixth Avenue The John Cameron House (1929) The Emery and Jessie Jones House (1913)

This distinct Georgian Revival home was designed by architects E. Evans and Son, whose ﬁrm also designed Massey Theatre, the Loyal Protestant Home For Orphaned Children (now the Royal City Christian Centre), part of the Royal Columbian Hospital and many other public buildings and residences in the Vancouver area. The house was built in 1929 for John Cameron, New Westminster’s Chief of Police in the 1920s and early ‘30s. Rumours about corruption and rum-running at New West’s docks during Prohibition hinted at how a policeman could have afforded a house like this. Chief Cameron went on to head the Vancouver police force before being appointed to the Provincial Police in 1938 where he served in Zeballos and North Vancouver. From 1937 to 1957 this was the home of Rick and Jerry Foote, a musically talented couple from Ontario. The family had interests in the paper mill that subsequently became Scott Paper. It was purchased by the Sinclair family in 1957. Dr. Sinclair, a New West physician, died at a young age in 1963 and Mrs. Sinclair raised four children in the house, remaining until 2000. The home’s new owners are undertaking a massive restoration. It is on tour for the ﬁrst time.

This Arts and Crafts-style home was built in 1913 for dentist Emery Jones and his wife Jessie. The architect hired was Londonborn E.J. Boughen, who practised in New Westminster in the early 1900s, designing a range of buildings from simple cottages to large homes and commercial buildings. He had designed his own home, “E-Dee-Nie,” at 315 Fourth Avenue in a very similar style two years earlier. The present owners took possession in the summer of 2006. Averse to the rigorous chore of paint stripping, they were relieved to ﬁnd that much of the home’s beautiful woodwork had been left untouched. Today, the pink stucco is gone and much of the original horizontal siding has been restored (some had to be replaced.) The window headers are restored originals; missing casings were replaced with copies. An antique mailbox and new Arts and Crafts address plate frame the original front door and hardware. The owners hired a Vancouver heritage specialist to research the original exterior paint colours (the house had been brown) and chose similar hues to repaint it. This wonderful facelift has restored the home’s classic character, and it can welcome its next centenary with pride.

K. 315 Princess Street L. 811 York Street The Thomas Thornton House (1891) The Gordon and Wilena Morgan House (1954) The history of this house is a mystery and we’re hoping that tourgoers can help us out with information about this area of the city from 1891 to the 1920s. When last on tour in 1998, discovering the first owner’s name proved difficult. The Dennsion brothers—Thomas and James—were decided upon but it turns out they lived at what is now 307 Princess Street. The addresses and lot configurations of the 300-block Princess Street have changed many times over the years. Property assessment rolls in the New Westminster Museum and Archives show that in 1891, Elizabeth Thornton owned the lot that’s now 315 Princess; the lot directly behind her at 314 Seventh Avenue was owned by Thomas Thornton. Possibly Thomas Thornton moved his house from Seventh Avenue to Princess Street. By the time the current owners purchased the home in 1992, all original woodwork and light fixtures were removed and a variety of aluminum-framed windows installed during 1960s and 70s renovations. The owners embarked on a major renovation to put back what might have been and increase square footage. The new side addition increased the square footage without sacrificing the home’s period look.

The“Screen House” was conceived by the owners and their architect as a fresh interpretation of Massey Heights’ post war and modernist houses. The wishlist for the renovation of the ‘50s bungalow included creating a separate space for the parents (there are three sons at home,) bringing in more light, neatly blending elements of the original house with the new addition.Its most striking feature is the 45-foot by 10-foot fir and aluminum screen which appears to float above the main level of the house, blurring the second-story addition and emphasizing the horizontal lines of the ground floor. The concrete garden planter/plinth and address wall also add to this effect. Cedar siding and exposed beams and rafters pay homage to the area’s architecture but in a 21st century manner. Built in 1954 by Gordon and Wilena Morgan, the house was one of the first built on York Street and in the new Massey Heights neighbourhood. Mr. Morgan was a manager with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and his home would have offered all the mod cons we expect of new homes today. The house and its contractor won a SAM award in 2009 from the Canadian Home Builder’s Association for Whole House Renovation, were finalists for the 2009 Georgie Awards, and have been nominated for a Royal City Builders’ Award. Bravo!
