Shatner supports fish bill Actor helps city MP ﬁght to have ﬁsh farms moved onto land BY JOHN KURUCZ REPORTER special to The Record

Hollywood Bill, meet federal bill. Legendary Canadian actor William Shatner lent his support Thursday to a private member’s bill put forth by New WestminsterCoquitlam MP Fin Donnelly, one that would force all fish farm operators off the B.C. coast to move to closed containment within five years. “My rage is against companies that have no conscience about what they’re doing and that the bottom line is the only thing they think of,” Shatner said via a telephone conference from Los Angeles. “What we must do is ensure that the farmed salmon do not destroy the wild salmon.” Introduced in early May, Donnelly’s bill aims to amend the Fisheries Act by requiring fish farm operators to transition to closed-containment systems within five years of the bill becoming law. The bill also calls on Fisheries and Oceans Minister Gail Shea to develop a transition plan to make that switch within 18 months and to ensure that those working in the industry are protected during that transitional period. ◗Fish Page 10

Staff instructed to take another look at programs of choice in city BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The board of education voted Tuesday night to undertake another review of programs of choice in the New Westminster school district. The district recently wrapped up a review that focused on which schools should house the popular Montessori and French immersion programs. Now, trustees have instructed staff to perform a “broad” review of programs, such as French immersion, alternative education, Montessori and the International Baccalaureate and advanced placement programs. “It seemed reasonable to say, ‘Let’s look at all of the programs. What are our objectives? Are they meeting the need?,” trustee Michael Ewen said. “We should be examining all that we do. For the last four years, we have been mired in the capital projects, mired in budgets. This really speaks to our core.” The timeline for the latest review will be developed in September, Ewen said. “I see this maybe as a two-year project,” he said. Ewen’s call for a “full review” was introduced on the back of a motion that was brought forward by trustee Casey Cook. Ewen said Cook’s motion wasn’t clear, which is why he added amendments to it. ◗Programs Page 4

“I looked at the motion and thought, ‘this isn’t well thought out,’” Ewen said. But Cook said Ewen’s amendment gutted his original motion. “It was quite a bit more than an amendment,” Cook said. “This isn’t an amendment, this is a gutting. I have some difficulty understanding the intention of it. I don’t understand the direction to staff.”

His motion had more to do with “strengthening and sustaining” programs of choice, Cook said. He developed the motion after meeting with Montessori parents and listening to their concerns, which included issues around childcare and expanding the Montessori program to other grades. “I thought it was timely to do some communicating with them, to see what we could do to strengthen our programs of choice and

to help them to be more sustainable. It’s morphed into something different and nebulous,” said Cook. “It set the motion in an entirely different direction … to look at all programs of choice. Whereas mine was one to support and strengthen programs of choice.” Speaking to the political divisions on the board, Cook said, “I could make a motion that tomorrow is Tuesday, it probably would be defeated four to three.”

Help offered after tragic death

11-year-old Christian Mesa dies after being struck by truck BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster’s superintendent sent home a letter Tuesday to École Glenbrook Middle School parents, urging them to contact the school if their child needs extra support to deal with the tragic death of Christian Mesa, a sixth-grader from the school. John Woudzia wrote, “If you feel that your son or daughter is in need of further support, please do not hesitate to contact the school. Extra support is available through the school counselling services and also through the community. We know that it will require some time for our students to come to terms with such a tragedy.”

Counselling will be available to students at Glenbrook, as well as Richard McBride Elementary, where Christian had also been a student. “The tragic news of such a premature death is always difficult to accept, and our deepest sympathies and support are extended to the student’s family at this time,” Woudzia wrote. Christian was struck and killed on his way to school Monday morning. The 11-year-old was hit by a truck near the intersection of McBride Boulevard and Sixth Avenue. Christian died from his injuries a few hours later at Royal Columbian Hospital. The school district learned about the fatal accident on Monday. By Tuesday morning, the district put into place a critical instance response, which included offering grief coun- Christian Mesa selling to students and staff at the Sixth grader attended school.

Memorial to be held today in Burnaby BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com

A memorial mass for Christian Mesa, an 11-year-old École Glenbrook Middle School student who was struck and killed on his way to school Monday morning, was to be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday (today) at Our Lady of Mercy parish in Burnaby. The sixth-grader was riding his bike to school and was only a

block away from school when he was hit by a truck near the intersection of McBride Boulevard and Sixth Avenue. Christian died from his injuries a few hours later at Royal Columbian Hospital. “He was our one and only son, and he’s been taken away from us,” said his mother Rita, a nursing aide. “It’s as if it’s a bad dream [we] are having that he’s no longer here.” His parents are planning on taking his remains back to the Philippines,

where Christian was born, in order to be close to his extended family. New Westminster Police aren’t releasing many details of the accident, saying only that no one has been taken into custody or is being sought by investigators. Police are urging any witnesses to the fatal collision to contact Sgt. Trevor Dudar or Const. Stu Hagen at 604-525-5411. Our Lady of Mercy is located at 7455 10th Ave. near Kingsway Ave.

OUR VIEW

phobia is, unfortunately, still alive and well in the Lower Mainland. It is one of the reasons we chose to use a pink triangle for the series’ logo. The pink triangle was the symbol used to designate homosexuals in Hitler’s concentration camps. Gays and lesbians were among the designated undesirables condemned to death during the Holocaust. We can congratulate ourselves here in Canada for coming a long way since then, but there are still countries that consider homosexuals criminals, and

just recently Uganda has made homosexuality punishable by death. While this city’s celebration will clearly lean towards fun and fellowship more than bold political statements, it is still good to remember that any event celebrating gay pride is a political statement in and of itself. We salute the organizers of New Westminster’s Pride celebrations, and we applaud the city and its citizens who recognize that we are all richer for sharing our stories and celebrating our different cultures and lives.

‘Insatiable appetite’ for oil is costly to our environment

Dear Editor:

With all the hullabaloo in the U.S. over this oil spill, I see very little attention given to the fact that the very reason this highly risky drilling activity takes place in the gulf is the Americans’ insatiable appetite for any and all oil. They have created this monster themselves by failing to move towards more non-petroleum energy resources. The only difference here is that rather than destroying the environment elsewhere in oil fields around the world, they are inconveniently bearing the brunt of their greed in their own back yard. Will this make them more sensitive to the destruction they cause to the environment elsewhere in the world? No! Because they can only see as far as their

own interests. There have been over 5,000 wells drilled in the Gulf of Mexico, and this surely will not be the last time we see such a horrific affect on nature unfold. In North America, we would be wise to move commercial fleets to natural gas or hybrids, including all taxi and delivery fleets. Clean-burning coal technologies need to be further developed for electricity. Our own natural gas and coal resources could easily supply North America for a hundred years while other sources are developed. We need to start to make these changes now, as it will be years before we see dependence on oil diminish. And if we do not start to make these changes, oil demand will rise, and $150 oil is just around the corner. And $150 oil is just what we do not need – it will foster more risky drilling.

IN MY OPINION

Students: Education is crucial for B.C. ◗ continued from page 6

human capital at a time when projections are that 75 per cent of jobs will require post-secondary education. If we invested wisely now, it would strengthen our competitive position in the global markets and, at the same time, strengthen our own provincial economy. We need to provide students with incentives to stay in B.C. and to help fill the jobs of tomorrow. By taking away student aid programs, the B.C. Liberals are making it that much harder for a young person to receive an education. Although B.C. already ranks dead last among the provinces in non-repayable grants and other aid disbursements, student support programs will suf-

fer further as a result of the 2010 budget. Despite an election promise to maintain student aid funding, the student aid budget has shrunk from $116 million to $84 million since the election. This is a cut of 28 per cent in student aid. As we’ve learned with the HST, what this government says it will do or not do during an election campaign has really no bearing on future actions. They say they have expanded university, college and apprenticeship opportunities in the last eight years. They claim thousands of new spaces have been created for graduating students. But where is the support to ensure these spaces can actually be filled by stu-

dents? We can no longer solely depend upon the forests and the seas and the fishing and forestry industries to be the drivers of our economy. The economy is changing, and the skills that people need now and will need in the future are very different than they’ve been for the past many years. As a mother and grandmother and a lifelong learner myself, I believe passionately in the importance of post-secondary education and skills training. Yes, we owe all our young people a high quality education at a price they can afford, but we also owe it to ourselves if our goal is a sustainable economy and a just society. Dawn Black is the New Democrat MLA for New Westminster.

A homeowner has been ordered to remove a retaining wall that was built on his property before he bought the home. New Westminster city council has ordered the owners of 201 Queens Ave. to demolish the wall and replace it with a new retaining wall that complies with the city’s building bylaw and the B.C. Building Code. The wall has been deemed unsafe. A staff report to city council said the wall supports the existing city lane, which provides vehicle access for five homes and is used by pedestrians. A developer working on an adjacent subdivision had a structural engineer evaluate the condition of the wall, which was deemed to be failing and unable to allow installation of the new storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water main service in the lane. tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Camp aims to get girls interested in science A CLASS ACT

NIKI HOPE

girls-only science class is being held at Centennial Community Centre this summer to help bolster girls’ interest in science. The half-day camp aims to demonstrate to girls aged six to 10 that science can be fun, interesting and a viable career option. The camp is being held from July 5 to 9 at the centre and will be taught by Gwen Pawlikowski. “Despite making up half of the population, women are still profoundly underrepresented in most occupations related to science,” Pawlikowski said in an e-mail. Pawlikowski’s interest in developing a girlfriendly science camp is a personal one. “I have an elementaryschool-aged daughter who shows an interest in science and in researching,” she wrote. “I would like to encourage her interest, and that of other girls in

my community. I want to give them an opportunity to experience the value of participating in science in a very fun and girlfriendly setting with the hope of maintaining their interest into middle and high school.” Participants will get a chance to meet women who are working in science careers. Visit www.nwpr.bc.ca for more, or register in person at a community centre.

New standards

The New Westminster school district has developed reading standards to help teachers mark students consistently from school to school and grade to grade. “These documents will be provided to teachers in the fall as part of the grade groups to assist them to maintain consistent standards for the reading portions of the district assessments,” says a report by Sandra Pace, the district’s director of instruction. The district has already developed such a model for writing. “We have long searched for a format that would allow teachers to have the same support resources for reading,” Pace wrote.

“Two years ago, we worked with the district research team and the New Westminster Teachers’ Union to gather a wide variety of student work. From all these student responses, Erika Warkentin, Patricia Pain and Ann Nottingham selected examples of student work, which best fit the score points. Nadya Rickard also assisted with the project. They also provided the rationales for teachers to understand why a particular example fitted that score point.” The standards documents will also be sold to other school districts.

Students from the local independent school took part in the annual nationwide event that brings together thousands of students, musicians, parents and community members across the country to celebrate the gift of music, on the same day at the same time.

Grandmothers unite across globe Royal City Gogos founder returns home from African Grandmothers’ Gathering BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Janine Reid has returned home from the first African Grandmothers’ Gathering in Swaziland filled with mixed emotions. The New Westminster resident founded the Royal City Gogos in March 2009. She was one of 42 Canadian grandmothers who attended the recent gathering of 500 grandmothers from 13 countries. “It was remarkable in so many ways,” she said. “Real highs in being with the grandmothers and celebrating their success, and real lows in hearing the stories.” The African grandmothers shared stories about dealing with the HIV/AIDS pandemic, raising their orphaned grandchildren with little support and the various hardships faced by women fleeing war-torn nations. “We went to see one of the programs the foundation funds,” she said. “We heard stories about displacement of people because of the war in other parts of Africa. Refugees have come to South Africa and are living in extreme conditions.” Many of the African women are only getting one meal a day. Some Ethiopian women who travelled to the gathering hadn’t eaten in two days, but they said that’s quite typical for them. Reid said that when AIDS was a definite death sentence, people were concerned about talking about the issue. Now, with access to medicines to treat some of the symptoms, she said people are more willing to talk about the social issues contributing to the pandemic, including poverty, displacement, widespread violence against women, lack of access to lifesaving drugs and lack of pensions for grandmothers raising grandchildren who have been orphaned by the pandemic. Reid visited a project that is funded by the Stephen Lewis Foundation, a place that provides psychological counselling services in the slums of Johannesburg, South Africa. It assists women who have fled Darfur (Sudan), Zimbabwe and Mozambique in search of a safe haven, only to become victims of violence or xenophobia. The women said they’re told daily that once the eyes of the world are off them, they will be killed. “That was very hard for us to hear,” Reid said. At theAfrican Grandmothers’ Gathering in Manzini, Swaziland, the grandmothers issued a clarion call to the world, demand-

They also called for urgent action to prevent acts of violence to them, to ensure social security and to enact laws that uphold their rights and those of their grandchildren. The Manzini Statement, which was the document that issued the call for action, was read at the completion of a march of more than 1,000 grandmothers through the streets of the city. A press release from the Stephen Lewis Foundation stated that the grandmothers gathered in Manzini from May 6 to 8 to share their experiences as “parents” of orphaned grandchildren, as caregivers and as activists, and to articulate their priorities for real action. They discussed care for HIV-positive grandchildren, food security, micro-credit financing, social security,

violence and inheritance rights. “The serious tenor of the daytime working sessions was countered each evening by dancing and singing, which filled the great hall where the women gathered,” said the press release. “At the event’s opening ceremony, the Queen Mother of Swaziland, who presided over the evening, defied the concerns of her security contingent as she spontaneously joined in the dancing with the hundreds of gathered grandmothers.” The event was organized and hosted by Swaziland Positive Living, one of Africa’s leading AIDS advocacy and support organizations. “The gathering itself was incredible,” Reid said. According to Reid, the African grandmothers appreciated the Canadians’ presence because it gave an international presence to the gathering that otherwise would

have been considered a regional event. “We have demonstrated that grandmothers and their grandchildren are no longer invisible,” said Siphiwe Hlope, executive director of Swaziland Positive Living, in a press release. “As we return to our own countries, we need to use the strength of our collective voice to call upon government in all of Africa to change their policies and uphold our rights which are currently being violated in so many ways.” Reid’s life has been forever touched by the plight of the African heroic women, who are faced with such joy and loss yet still carry on their lives with some joy. “We were really moved by all of it,” she said. “It was a profound experience and energizing.” Reid said the situation in Africa has “fallen off the radar” by events in Haiti ◗Gogos Page 15

Local songwriters win

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Two New Westminster Secondary School students have won time at the same recording studio where Sarah McLachlan, Avril Lavigne and Sam Roberts have laid down tracks. Cora Balazs and Jesse Goodwin placed first in the Student Alliance of School Songwriters year-end recital and competition held last weekend. “I’m very pumped on the recording,” Cora told The Record. “We are going to record two or three songs in Armoury Studios. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” The songwriting competition featured 18 singer/songwriters from high schools around the Lower Mainland, with each performer playing and singing an original song. Vocalist Cora, a 15-year-old Grade 10 student, and guitarist Jesse, a 17-year-old Grade 11 student, performed Deep Down,

a song they wrote for music composition class at NWSS.. As part of their prize package, Cora and Jesse will receive a two-day recording session at the Armoury Studio. Producer and alliance co-founder Don MacLeod will be their producer. The pair will also receive a professional photo session. This win comes just a few weeks after Cora and Jesse were the featured performers at the Music B.C. Charitable Foundation dinner and auction. For their performance, the two were joined on stage by Wide Mouth Mason lead singer Shaun Verreault. Cora and Jesse have also posted YouTube video of them performing original songs and covers. Their YouTube channel is called JesseandCora. Locals can also look for the pair at this weekend’s Sapperton Day festival, which is on Sunday, June 13. Cora and Jesse will hit the stage at about 2 p.m.

and other countries. She said that 240,000 people died in the earthquake in Haiti, but that many people die in sub-Saharan Africa every 40 days. Some of the delegates expressed real concern that the Swaziland people could become extinct by AIDS because 60 per cent of the country’s women of childbearing age have HIV or AIDS. “Our children today will be affected by the children of Africa,” Reid said. “We are affected by wars and circumstances in other countries.” Royal City Gogos, which has about 30 members aged 35 to 75, is open to grandmothers and “grandothers” who don’t have children or grandchildren but want to support the cause. “Good work is being done by the good

people on the ground,” Reid said. “We are doing our best to support them.” Royal City Gogos has three events planned by fall. For more information about the Royal City Gogos, e-mail royal citygogos@gmail.com. Stephen Lewis, a former United Nations special envoy for HIV/AIDS, launched his foundation and the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign with the goal of easing the pain of HIV/AIDS in Africa. Thousands of Canadian women are now involved in the groups, many of which are called Gogos after the Zulu word meaning grandmother. One of the grandmothers’ campaign’s goals is to raise awareness of the plight of the African grandmothers, who are raising their grandchildren after their own children have died of AIDS.

Tracing the history of Boundary Bay OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

or many people, Boundary Bay is just the body of water you drive by on your way to the border at Douglas or to White Rock. Others know that this bay is the open water you gaze out over from Crescent Beach or from the large waterfront parks at Tsawwassen. Still others are aware of the many historical connections to this bay named for its position at the boundary between Canada and the U.S. Historically, the area around Boundary Bay was the place citizens from New Westminster and its environs used to visit to get away from the big city. Local family stories frequently include mention of summer homes at the bay or across the water at Blackie’s Spit at Crescent Beach. People would head off to their “camp” for parts

of the year – some only in summer, while others went throughout the year. Back a bit farther, the Royal Engineers, in this area from 1858 to 1863, explored this entire region near the bay, partly as an adjunct to the boundary line but also seeking additional transportation routes. A 1859 map clearly shows the idea of a canal from the Fraser River to Boundary Bay. It never happened of course, but the idea was to ease access to the gulf and shorten the run to the river’s mouth. The many creeks and rivers that empty into the waters of Boundary Bay had a great influence in the exploration of the entire area of the valley. Rivers such as the Serpentine, Nicomekl and Campbell led people away from the coast and into the landscape beyond – some as far as the site of Fort Langley on the banks of the Fraser. First Nations knew this overall place very well – both water and land – and studies show that they lived nearby for long periods of time. The wet landscape offered many things that

the First Nations sought out, and the waters themselves supplied a variety of sea life. There is much to read and learn from in the many studies available about the First Nations who historically called Boundary Bay home. An article from 1882 reported on a new industry in the area and stated, under “Oyster Culture,” that: “Our citizens are perhaps not aware that the best place for the culture of the bi-valves on the Pacific Coast is at our side of Boundary Bay.” This place has a great story, both natural and historical. Author Anne Murray has written an excellent book titled Tracing Our Past – A Heritage Guide To Boundary Bay. Murray will be at the New Westminster Historical Society evening to talk about the subject on Wednesday, June 16, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the New Westminster Public Library. You will find out about Boundary Bay and maybe even some spots to visit this summer.

Filling old shoes, the right fit for starters ’Bellies put beat on junior Lakers

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

It seems as if everyone but the New Westminster Hyack players themselves are worried about who will fill in for a 2009 team that graduated 22 seniors last season. With just three returning starters from last season, Hyack coaches and supporters alike can be excused for not holding out great expectations for this year’s squad. But you would never know it to talk to three of the team’s backfield hopefuls, who are ready to step into the shoes of graduating running backs Vivie Bojilov, Blain Cawkell, Brent Fletcher, Nigel Eberding and Warren Reece. First on the depth chart is St. Thomas More transfer James Belgrave, who sat out a year of eligility last season after putting up big numbers for the Knights junior varsity team in 2008. The fleet-footed Belgrave rushed for three yards shy of the magic 1,000-yard milestone as a junior, while scoring nine touchdowns for a Knights team that went all the way to the provincial final that year. “It doesn’t matter if the players coming in are inferior or superior,” said Belgrave, who is said to possess faster feet than any of last year’s Hyack backs. “It’s all objective. You lose Grade 12 players all the time, but the players you have have to step in and

finals before dropping a 33-12 contest to the eventual finalists from STM. Twenty-eight of last year’s junior varsity squad are varsity-aged, and that is good news for a program with spots to fill. “I want to bring a lot of intensity to this season and to all the practices,” said Henderson. “I learned last year, if we don’t, we become slow and lose it.” Also waiting for his chance in the Hyacks’

When the character Benny Van Buren, the hardworking manager of the Washington Senators with great heart but no luck, sang the memorable tune You’ve Gotta Have Heart from the musical comedy Damn Yankees, he could have been talking about the Burnaby junior Lakers. The junior A Lakers showed a distinct lack of that inner quality in a 13-5 loss to the unbeaten New Westminster Salmonbellies at Queen’s Park Arena Tuesday. Mackenzie Davis, who led the Lakers with a fourpoint outing including a hat trick, opened the scoring for the visitors. But there were few other moments as the home Salmonbellies peppered starting goalie Brodie MacDonald for five unanswered goals to close the first period in a dominating performance at home. Tyler Digby, who finished the game with an eight-point night, sparked the New Westminster run with his 16th goal of the

Ian Henderson, one of only three starters from last season’s team along with linemen Jamie Wandell and Nick Adomat, will likely move from tight end to fullback for his final year. He’ll also take over the void at inside linebacker left by the graduation of Bojilov and Casey Chin, both of whom are mov-

ing on to Simon Fraser University in September. “We’re all second-years, and we have to be a leader,” Henderson said. “Last season, I didn’t feel as much of a leader. Last year, there were so many leaders, you didn’t feel like you had to be one. But this year, it’s so much different.” Henderson caught just three passes at his tightend position gaining 42 yards and scoring one touchdown last season, while on defence he had 18 individual tackles and a

single quarterback sack. Henderson knows he will have step up his numbers from last year, and he feels those around him can do it as well. “There’s a lot more learning around the team. When it comes to having a new team, you have to do that,” he added. Henderson, also believes the learning curve will not be as great as it has been in past seasons.

Wings gymnastics turning 30 at Cameron centre BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

30.

Wings Gymnastics Society is turning

The Cameron Recreation Complexbased club, like other thirtysomethings, has been faced with a number of growth issues. Supporting upwards of 160 club members annually, Wings struggles to accommodate a waiting list that at times has stretched to two years. As a society, it also would like to expand and have a permanent facility in which to house its equipment. But such a move would likely sever the good relationship it has enjoyed for the past three decades with the City of Burnaby. It would also almost certainly alter the human dynamic that has made Wings so popular with gymnasts and its coaches. Former Wins gymnast-turned-coach

Anthea McKenzie, 32, can attest to that. For McKenzie, who competed for nine years at Wings, and eventually at the B.C. Winter Games, it was a perfect fit. “I think so. When I first started, the way the club works and how it runs, kind of made my decision,” said McKenzie. “I was able to do well in school and still compete well in gymnastics.” McKenzie now coaches recreational gym for eight- to 17-year-old girls of all skill levels. She says Wings should remain as it is. “I quite enjoy it being kind of small,” McKenzie said. Burnaby resident David Leighton has spent three-quarters of his life as an athlete and now coach with Wings. The 21-year-old Leighton has spent the last five of those 15 years coaching boys, who are looking for something just a bit different in gymnastics. “It’s more a stunt-oriented thing. I always loved doing this sort of stuff – off

the high falls, the twisting and the craziness,” Leighton said. “It is less on form and more on tricks.” He maintains that learning control of one’s body in the air and how to distribute body weight in flight is a good cross-training method for lots of sports. Joining the coaching ranks this year is 19-year-old Jill McCartney, who last competed at the provincials as a level 3 gymnast. For McCartney, it was all about the coaches and a supportive atmosphere that made coming to gym fun. “I always knew I was happy where I was,” McCart-ney said. “I loved my coaches. I looked up to them. They were always inspirational to me, and the people I trained with are all my best friends.” Now that McCartney is a coach, the Port Moody resident continues to impress upon her students the club philosophy that a happy child is more likely to learn

and retain the skills taught at the twice weekly practice sessions at the Northeast Burnaby centre. It made her decision to remain at Wings, rather than pursue a higher level of gymnastics at a different club, an easy one. “I think right from the beginning ofrec, or when I first started in kindergym, I knew,” McCartney said. And therein lies the society’s ongoing dilemma. How to accommodate new members when so few ever leave. For those interested in having a closer look at what Wings gymnastics is all about, they will be holding their annual year-end show at the Cameron centre on Tuesday, June 15 and 17, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Admission is by donation. There will also be an anniversary social for former students, coaches, board members and parents on the Thursday from 8:45 to 10 p.m. Those wishing to attend the social are asked to RSVP at wingsgymnastics.com.

campaign. “I think we got to MacDonald early,” said Digby, who threw his stick into contention for player of the week honours with 20 points, including nine goals in his last three games. “If he had been on his game, I think it would have been closer. I don’t think we played that well, but it allowed us to have that lack of game.” The Salmonbellies’ lack of game still looked pretty good compared to the Lakers, who saw their record fall to 6-6-1 with the loss. New Westminster, in comparison, improved to 9-0-1 to remain tied with Coquitlam atop the eight-team loop. The ‘Bellies maintained their four-goal advantage over Burnaby throughout the second period on T.J. Cowx’s second goal of the game, Daniel McQuade’s first of two, and the fifth of the season from defender Reid Mydske, who is rippling the twine at an amazing 83.33 per cent. The junior ‘Bellies ended the game the same way they started it, scoring five

times to Burnaby’s one, eventually chasing MacDonald from the nets following Jeff Sproule’s ninth goal of the season and team-high 46th point. With New Westminster sporting the highest scoring offence in the league and the stingiest defence to date, Digby likes the team’s chances this year. “It’s what we’re building for and I think we’re going to get better as we go along,” said the 6-3 18-year-old. But Digby is cautious at the halfway point of the season to not get too inflated about the ‘Bellies play to date. “This is just a step. … Coming into this league Coquitlam was supposed to be that much better that us. But we’re a good team. We have to come and compete,” he said. The Salmonbellies intend to do just that. They played in Nanaimo on Thursday (after The Record deadlines) before returning to the Mainland for a return match against Burnaby at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Sunday. Game time is 7 p.m.

◗ continued from page 25

taking over the pivot from two-year starter Torsten Jaccard, and Wandell and Adomat anchoring what will likely be a young line, the key elements are in place for another run at that elusive championship ring. In New Westminster’s seven years since restarting the high school football program, the Hyacks have made steady progress. The Hyacks got to the varsity semifinals for the first time in 2008 and threw a scare into eventual provincial champions Holy

Cross before bowing out at B.C. Place 36-28. New Westminster has returned to the semis for the past two seasons with similar results. This season’s Hyacks, ready or not, want to change all that. “We have the coaching staff to coach us and the people to start. It can work,” Henderson said, adding a plain and simple truism to back up his point. “If you show up to practice, you’ll show up to play,” he said. Let’s hope so.

Football: All the pieces in place, they say Wing-T offence is running back and DB Manraj Bains. With no starts and less than 200 total yards in ‘09, Bains has earned his chance at a starting role following all the bruises he earned on the school’s scout team last year.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Stay in rest mode one more week. Contemplate your situation, your future, and make plans. You’ll like Sunday/Monday: your energy rises, and others are nicer than usual. Monday begins a month of good money luck – perhaps a balm to heal last winter/spring’s cuts and bruises. You could take or start a great income action Monday night (after dark). But the time is telling: much of your success this summer might be tough to grab (wrong hours, hints rather than solidities, etc.) – don’t worry, this is just a precursor of a big success in 2011! Be home, dream, Saturday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: A sweet, mellow month for you. It grows even more mellow now. Love could wander in, or you could start having marriage thoughts about someone you’re seeing. (Let’s face it, you’re always “considering” marriage.) This summer is just a taste, for most of you, as your true mate stands hidden. Your social life grows more gentle, gracious; you’ll be popular, especially with “identicals,” rather than those who are different (as last winter/spring). Be ambitious Sunday/Monday. Best path: socializing, networking. A great friend could appear Monday/ Tuesday, Saturday – maybe a future partner.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Last month you moved from an autumn/winter of deep mysteries (and deep desires) to more open, affectionate dealings with others. Now, those mysteries, deep desires, intimacies and ﬁnances of your life arise again, to July 9, but in a sweet, lucky way (especially Monday night). Dig deep, and share, enjoy this time, grow closer to others/another. A legal, intellectual, travel or cultural matter still weighs on you, but you will soon grow more assertive here, demand or initiate action. This should bring a two-year burden to an end by late July. But start no lawsuits! Work hard all week.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Your domestic scene, into which someone sprinkled pepper since last October, now (to mid-July) seems sprinkled with sugar and sweet words. You could notice this immediately, Sunday to Wednesday. (Though by Wednesday the old domestic or inner doubts might return – don’t worry, these doubts will fade forever, by 2011.) Monday’s a hugely favourable day to communicate, to talk about love (and vacation or travel or relatives visiting). Late night, begin a family, gardening, real estate or similar project. Chase money all week, but pause for a wee bit of pleasure, beauty, Thursday/Friday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Winter/spring’s scowl yields to smiles and charm, now to mid-July. You feel sweeter –make sure someone knows it. It’s quite possible you’ve unknowingly alienated someone – or outright declared war. Well, you’re a warrior no more. Sue for peace, while the suing is good. Lie low, rest, look within Sunday/Monday. Bright insights come. Your energy surges late this night to Wednesday. Monday night, especially, is great for talk, love, wooing, writing, meeting someone. Chase money Thursday/Friday. It’s not that you’ll see immediate rewards, but your efforts build “future cred.” Friends, Saturday.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your social side will grow over the next two months. But you’ll become a “social warrior,” either associating with rougher types (or simply with colleagues, co-workers) or being a bit more assertive, demanding – “Let me in that door!” Money luck will somehow be connected to this (security luck too, perhaps). Sunday/Monday are mellow, easy. Be ambitious Monday night to Thursday, especially Monday night, when you can launch or reel in a plum job. All month, mysteries, investigations highlighted – detect, don’t let someone elude you! Sex, ﬁnances important also – go slow here.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your romantic and social scenes are surging! So is your tendency to become a chatterbox when you see someone you want – talk is how you play the game of love. You could meet someone who would make a viable mate, now to early July, especially early this week. Relations with everyone improve, as a sweet, affectionate note enters. Tackle chores Sunday/Monday – but don’t start new work-like projects Sunday daytime. Thursday/Friday are sexy, ﬁlled with mystery, but throw some irksome situations at you. See the reality these days – don’t invest. Saturday, dreamy love!

Gemini May 21-June 20: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness remain high. Start important projects, get your way, see and be seen – tackle things that formerly intimidated you. For seven months, communications have been hopeful, friendly — and angry, simmering with hostility. Now to mid-July, a turnaround: others speak or write to you graciously and affectionately. You get (got) what you put out. If you need to “make up,” do it late Monday night. Money (or friendship) news is good Monday daytime. Love is magic Saturday. Bravely face a ﬁnancial, sexual or lifestyle “reality” all week – conquer it.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Male or female, you’ll project your rougher, more determined, assertive side through late July. Your interest in sexual intimacy and ﬁnancial dealing will rise strongly. At the same time, you’re unusually conservative, careful and even socially hesitant. The combination could be a good one. However, for the four weeks ahead you might lack the graciousness or charm that can lubricate (unfortunate word) sexual or ﬁnancial situations. (So plan your important meetings for July 10 onward, when all factors work for you. Sunday/Monday are optimistic, friendly! Be ambitious Thursday/Friday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The accent is on relationships in every form – and on horizons, opportunities, relocation. You’re starting to feel more romantic, and a new sweetness enters your mental sphere, where before there was impatience and assertiveness. (One example: you might have been ﬁghting a lawsuit – the mental – but now you settle or make overtures.) Mysteries, sexual urges, ﬁnances, inheritance featured Sunday/Monday. Monday also might bring a friendly meeting that could turn to “instant love.” No, don’t be cautious! Wisdom mid-week. Be ambitious Thursday/Friday. Dreamy happiness Saturday.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The accent lies on home, food, kids, rest – it’s your hibernation period, for one more week. Relationships intensify now through July – you could create a ﬁnancial partnership, enjoy a spicy, casual, sensual affair (it won’t last long) or make an enemy – or fall madly and angrily in love. Give the last a wide, wide berth. Co-workers become affectionate, work will be pleasant to early July. Romance might enter the workplace Sunday to Wednesday. Seek pleasure, beauty, love Sunday/ Monday. (Sunday daytime isn’t “wise.”) Relationships need patience Thursday/Friday. Secrets Saturday.

Aries March 21 - April 19: A long (sevenmonth) hot and even “bothered” romantic, creative or pleasure pursuit ended a week ago. Now a much sweeter, affectionate pursuit begins. This is less an expression of your own needs (as the last one was) and more a less selﬁsh, true search for a partner. In business/practical areas, the few weeks ahead help you to negotiate deals, settlements, woo clients. Rest, attend to kids, home, real estate Sunday/Monday. That romantic (creative, et al) thing becomes very obvious Monday to Wednesday! Tackle chores Thursday/Friday. Give others the road Saturday: intuition soars.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan # 344-017-10/15 Southern Railway of British Columbia Limited Southern Railway of British Columbia Limited, 2102 River Drive, New Westminster, B.C., V3M 6S3 Telephone 604-527-6307 • Fax 604-526-0914

Southern Railway of British Columbia Limited is developing a Pest Management Plan and will submit the plan for registration under the Integrated Pest Management Act. This plan will describe a vegetation management and wood preservative programs using Integrated Pest Management, including the use of herbicides and pesticides to control pests and wood decay. The purpose is to control vegetation on the right of way ballast section, to address sight-line related safety issues and to control wood decay in the timber trestles. Pesticide treatment applications using Telar (chlorsulfuron) on 35 ha, Karmex DF (diuron) on 61.9 ha and Vantage/Weed-Master Glyphosate 41 (glyphosate) on 94.81 ha, to be made using truck mounted spray boom, power hose/nozzle and back pack sprayer. Non-pesticide treatment methods are mechanical brush cutting, manual brush cutting, ballast cleaning, ballast reconstruction and surfacing between New Westminster and Chilliwack; Trapp Railway Yard in New Westminster and Burnaby; Sixteenth (16th) Street Railway Yard in New Westminster, Queensboro, New Westminster and Annacis Island, Delta, annually commencing October 1, 2010 with completion on September 30, 2015. Wood preservative pesticide treatment applications using Timber Fume (chloropicrin) and CU-89-RTU (copper naphthenate) by internal insertion/injection into drilled holes in the affected members that will be tightly plugged to ensure that the pesticide does not enter into a body of water or other environmentally sensitive area. A copy of the Pest Management Plan Application and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be viewed at Southern Railway of British Columbia Limited ofﬁces at 2102 River Drive, New Westminster, B. C. or 34520 Vye Road Abbotsford, B.C. during normal working hours.
