Gallery not part of civic centre

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Some members of the arts community in New Westminster were shocked to learn that an art gallery isn’t being included in the future multi-use civic facility and are hoping the city will have a change of heart.

The City of New Westminster held a community workshop on June 10 to identify the arts activities and functions that could be included in the multi-use civic facility. A fine arts gallery isn’t proposed for the centre, which will be located at the corner of Columbia and Eighth streets.

Greg Magirescu, the city’s manager of arts and culture, said the city’s plan has always been to include display space for artwork, but it was never envisioned to have a civic art gallery like those in Vancouver and Burnaby. He said some of the multi-purpose spaces in the centre will have the ability to function as a gallery, as well as receptions for various events.

“It would be a multi-use room,” he said. “It would still serve as a gallery. … It’s serving a dual purpose. That is really different than planning the art gallery of New Westminster.”

Magirescu said a study was never done to determine the need for a formal gallery space, and the workshop was the first time that city staff had heard there was interested in having a civic art gallery. If it was to be included, ◗Art Page 8

Pride in the city: Bradley Jordan has bought a multi-unit building in Queen’s Park, where he’ll be renting out the units and make his own home in the penthouse. He’s making the move from Vancouver’s Davie Village to New Westminster – part of a perceived “gay migration” to the Royal City.

Affordability and accessible transportation are two of the driving forces behind his decision to go from Davie Village in Vancouver’s West End to the sleepy streets of Queen’s Park.

The fight for rights: from criminals to marriage vows Prior to the 1970s, homosexuality was a criminal offence in Canada. Those accused of homosexual activities were charged as sex offenders and, if convicted, could be sentenced to long prison terms.

In 1969, the federal Liberal government instituted sweeping reforms of Canada’s criminal law, which included decriminalizing homosexuality. In discussing the

amendment, Pierre Trudeau, justice minister at the time, stressed the importance of individual freedom in the context of sexuality.

Trudeau stated: “It’s bringing the laws of the land up to contemporary society I think. Take this thing on homosexuality. I think the view we take here is that there’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.

I think that what’s done in pri-

vate between adults doesn’t concern the Criminal Code. When it becomes public this is a different matter, or when it relates to minors this is a different matter.”

By 2000, the legal status of gays and lesbians in Canada had changed significantly.

Homosexuality had been decriminalized, and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation had been prohibited in areas such as

immigration, employment, military service, pensions and income tax.

In February 2005, the government introduced Bill C-38, the Civil Marriage Act, which extended the right of marriage to samesex couples. A vote on the proposed legislation took place on June 28, 2005, and the Act was passed by a margin of 158 to 133.

The majority of Liberal, NDP and

Bloc MPs voted in favour of the legislation, while the majority of Conservative MPs voted against it.

Following the vote in the House, Bill C-38 was sent to the Senate, where it passed by a vote of 47 to 21 on July 19. The legislation received royal assent from the Governor General (thus becoming law) on July 20. www.mapleleafweb.com

Sapperton facelift underway

mittee is working on a public art initiative.

Day said more than 50 trees will be planted along the stretch of East Columbia between Sherbrooke and Braid. Some trees had been removed about a decade ago because of safety concerns, and 24 were removed when the project got underway.

According to Day, the new trees that will be planted are more appropriate for street trees and will be planted in a way that doesn’t create problems for the sidewalks.

Coun. Betty McIntosh anticipated that the city would get comments when the trees were first removed.

Work on the streetscape improvements on East Columbia Street is underway and expected to be done

by September.

Steve Day, an engineering project technologist with the city, said the project is on schedule despite a stretch of rainy weather. All totalled, the work being done between Sherbrooke and Braid streets on East Columbia Street will cost $2 million.

“We should be finished by the end of August,” he said. “That includes (curb-to-curb road) paving.”

More than 50 new street trees will

Yet, it is very likely a relief well that will finally stem the flow of crude in the gulf.

When news of the change hit the headlines, Canadians took little notice; it was little more than a minor distraction from the real show to our south.

But in reality, short of plugging the well ourselves or reorganizing the chaotic American response to the spill, there is little we can do to help.

It is within our power, however, to prevent the same kind of horror from erupting in our own waters.

To do so, Canadians must pressure their leaders to tighten regulations here, to force oil companies to prove they have foolproof safeguards against a similar leak.

It may seem counterintuitive, but it’s the most valuable thing we can do in response to the Deepwater Horizon disaster is to turn away from it.

Bike-sharing a better idea Dear Editor:

Re: Bike-sharing network proposed for region, The Record, June 12 Congratulations, Jonathan Cote! At long last, a breath of fresh air and a green solution rather than the usual spend now, pay later misplaced visions emanating from the tax-and-spend New Westminster City Hall.

I read, with interest, the proposal for the BIXI (bike sharing) network and found it so much better than the ill-conceived bicycle/pedestrian bridge by the train overpass to Queensborough. Recall here, this latter project, originally envisioned to cross over at Poplar Island connecting Muni Park to the Quay from Queensborough with the use of $10 million from gaming funds, was relocated – now estimated at twice the cost and would destroy the

Quay’s greenbelt and the children’s submarine park without any consultation.

This bike-sharing proposal, which produces some revenue, is a far more diverse and accessible answer to encourage the use of bicycle transportation. This would even better utilize the existing (expensive) bicycle infrastructure created with the new access configuration at the Queensborough Bridge.

Add to that a commuter ferry system (ramps already built) between Queensborough; the River Market at the Quay and a provision for a landing at the Pier Park is a much better use of the $10 gaming funds. Heck, maybe the casino would put in bike racks for those that want to have fun with all that saved money!

If the bicycle/pedestrian connection to Queensborough is to be resurrected, city planners and their political masters should start from the

We need more ambulances

Dear Editor:

Recently the British Columbia Ambulance Service (BCAS) announced that they were going to reduce their transfer fleet in the Vancouver/Fraser Valley area by nearly two-thirds.

This means that out of 23 transfer ambulances, 14 will be gone with nine remaining and operating at reduced hours. The government says that there is a $5.2-million shortfall to the BCAS operating budget. They say the number of transfers has dropped by 33 per cent in the past few years. What this actually means is the number of transfers is now at a manageable level, where before they were more than the fleet could handle, and the extras were being given to the emergency fleet, preventing them from responding to emergency calls.

The very reason why the transfer fleet was created in the 1990s was due to the tragic death of a little girl in Maple Ridge.

There was no emergency ambulance available to respond when she was choking on a piece of food – they were all doing transfers.

Even with the reduction in transfers, they still number 29,000 plus calls per year.

And BCAS wants to reduce the number of ambulances available to respond to them

and put the burden on the emergency cars. As we get more people moving into the province and as the population ages, call volumes will increase. There are not enough ambulances now, and the government is making no indication that they are going to increase the number of emergency ambulances.

The health authorities in the region have contracted out some of the very stable transfers to a private company (thus the major reason for the reduction in transfer fleet calls). This is not a bad idea, as an ambulance is not always necessary.

However, many patients from area hospitals go to other area hospitals every day for specialized procedures. It is far safer for them to go by ambulance than the private patient transfer service, because of the skill level and experience of the paramedics and the equipment and resources available in the ambulance.

The end result of this downsizing will be an increased and unreasonable amount of calls put on the remaining transfer fleet and the emergency fleet, delays in responses to patients awaiting transfer, to emergency calls and a decrease in the level of service available to hospitals and patients with the definite possibility of unnecessary disability or death – all because of a $5.2-million shortfall that the government doesn’t want to make up. However, they can spend over $400 million on a new roof for B.C. Place.

Anyone using the private transfer service out of the confines of the hospital will pay more than by using an ambulance, as they are a for-profit business. If you think this is an important issue, please make your voice heard. Contact your local MLA or the minister of health, Kevin Falcon.

Housing: National strategy needed ◗ continued from page 6

of our communities. It’s a direct and effective way to fight poverty. We submit that a “hand up” today helps avoid a “handout” tomorrow. Surely this axiom can, and should, be put to the test. In any case, it is the civilized and humanitarian alternative.

A key element of a successful national housing policy will be an understanding of and emphasis on the important role of affordable home ownership. Owning a home helps reduce the burden on public housing properties and provides people with a stable foundation on which to build a life and a future.

It allows them to remove themselves from the social welfare system and begin

to break the cycle of need.

But it can’t be achieved on a large and meaningful scale without the leadership of government – to provide tax-credit programs, help with down payments and, where possible, donate suitable land or provide it at well below market rate.

Today, as perhaps never before, there exists across our country a contrast between an abundance of wealth and a surfeit of need – of grim living conditions being endured by those whose voices often go unheard, whose plights go unnoticed. These past two decades have also resulted in the stalling out of measures to reduce income gaps and inequalities and a growing pattern of dispar-

ity in inequality.

If the G8 does not wrestle with this unhealthy and unwise phenomenon, then what is the point of it meeting at all – and at what non-productive cost? What greater and more critical role can be there for government than extending a hand up to citizens who are in need? The true gauge of our national character rests in how we treat the least fortunate among us. The true measure of our success will be in the legacy we leave behind.

as a community facility for the downtown, as it’s currently without a community centre. He said taking away community spaces for a fine arts gallery would defeat the purpose of the centre being a communityfocused building.

“I think one of the concerns raised was that we really need a fine arts gallery downtown,” said Andrée St. Martin, executive director of the Arts Council of New Westminster. “We thought it would be very important since the building will be attracting visitors. We know the museum is going to be attracting visitors because we have a wonderful collection of all kinds of artifacts. They deserve a good home.”

St. Martin’s personal view is that the building needs to have extraordinary architecture and extraordinary art inside.

The Arts Council of New Westminster’s board of directors has written to the city supporting the inclusion of a fine arts gallery in the facility.

“We are not asking for 10,000 square feet,” she said. “We are asking for 1,500 square feet.”

St. Martin said there are a lot of competing interests vying for space in the future civic centre and there’s not enough space for them all. “If the building would have been six more floors, we could have filled it all.”

St. Martin encourages people to let the city know what they would like to see in the multi-use civic

he said other elements of the plan would have to be removed.

According to Magirescu, some components of the multi-use centre have been solidified, which includes a museum, a 400-seat theatre with flexible seating and multi-use rooms.

The police museum, the military museum and the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame will be combined at the new space.

“Those collections would be amalgamated,” he said. “That is one of the benefits of putting it downtown. It leverages the vision of vast collections in the city when we put it all together.”

Mayor Wayne Wright said the city still has to work with the police, lacrosse and military museums on plans to consolidate some of those services at the centre.

The June 10 workshop asked people to consider activities and functions for potential inclusion in the multi-use civic facility. The lengthy list of potential offerings include space for still life and life drawing classes, painting classes, small performances, pottery/ceramics, performing arts classes, music rehearsals, glass blowing/stained glass, fabric and textile work, metal work, digital photography classes and video game production/ creation.

Westminster Savings continues to be the top donor to the Youth Centre at Moody Park fundraising campaign.

Westminster Savings recently donated $25,000 to the fundraising campaign. The donation will help equip the facility’s fitness centre, providing youth with a comfortable, safe exercise and workout space.

“Westminster Savings is committed to supporting the communities we share with our neighbours, and we are exceptionally pleased to come on board as a major community

campaign, is pleased with the community’s response to the fundraising campaign.

Greenhow applauds Westminster Savings for its generous donation.

“That’s a big gift for us. They have been very supportive of a number of events and activities at Century House over the years,” she said. “This was a wonderful boost to us

when they made this donation.”

The Youth Centre at Moody Park fundraising campaign is seeking to raise $200,000 to furnish and equip the new $2.33 million youth centre.

“We are at about 156,000/$158,000, which is pretty good,” Greenhow said. “It’s a heck of a lot better than it was a couple weeks ago.”

City gets grant money New Westminster is one of 39 communities in British Columbia that will share more than $360,000 in grants to help them develop plans for local infrastructure.

The city will receive $10,000 for an asset management project that will identify the current status of the city’s assets and then set short-, medium- and long-term objectives for those buildings.

The funds allow the City of New Westminster to build on work done a few years back, when the city did detailed studies on its assets including buildings, roads and utilities.

The infrastructure planning grant program provides grants of up to $10,000 to help local governments plan, design and manage infrastructure. The communities receiving the grants will use the funds for projects to improve infrastructure sustainability, such as long-term comprehensive plans and studies that assess the economic and environmental feasibility of proposed water, sewer, drainage and transportation infrastructure. tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The campaign was pleased to be able to get good deals on some gently used furniture that had been used at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Royal City names new poet laureate

SUMMER CLEARANCE ON NOW

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Candice James has a lifetime of experiences to draw on when composing poems about the Royal City.

The City of New Westminster has appointed James as its new poet laureate. The poet laureate is responsible for creating and presenting poetry and spoken word works to mark special civic events and functions.

“I am thrilled,” she said.

“I am really pleased to be in that position. When it came available, I really wanted it.

I am going to be working hard to do a good job.”

Born at Saint Mary’s Hospital, James hasn’t strayed far from New Westminster – once moving “far, far away” to Surrey for a short time and once living on a dairy farm in Washington State for a few months.

“Nothing can compare to New West,” she said. “It is a city that feels right. I just love New West. It’s home.”

James’ recollections of life in the city stretch back to her childhood, including stopping at former mayor Muni Evers’ downtown drugstore for an Orange Crush with her mom and playing tag in Tipperary Park with her kindergarten classmates.

As poet laureate, James’ goal is to write some historical poetry about New Westminster and some poems about the lighter side of life in the city. She once penned a poem after taking her granddaughter for a walk along the waterfront esplanade.

“She said, ‘This is like a dream, nanny,’” James recalled. “I said, ‘They are for free here.’”

James attended Herbert Spencer, John Robson and Richard McBride elementary schools, before moving on to junior and senior high at Vincent Massey and Lester Pearson schools.

Woman of words: Candice James, seen here in Tipperary Park, has been named the city’s new poet laureate.

Since graduating in 1965, she’s worked in various jobs including financial services, real estate, retail, and as a professional musician/singer.

“I love writing, if nothing else, that’s my thing I do. I have been writing for years,” she said. “It is like play to me.”

James is always prepared for those moments when inspiration strikes.

“I always have paper and pen with me, never leave home without it,” she said. “Some line will come to me – that is why I carry the notebook.”

James has already written several poems about New Westminster including Ghosts of The B.C. Pen and Resonant Beauty. She’s grateful for the opportunity to contribute poetry that will be read by future genera-

tions of residents.

“I think it is exciting, very exciting for me,” she said. “I am really looking forward to it.”

Greg Magirescu, the city’s manager of arts and culture development, said poetry is one way a city can show its civic pride. He said James is a gifted poet.

“There were several submissions,” he said. “There was a unique way she incorporated images and stories around New Westminster.”

Magirescu said the title poet laureate can sometimes give a “lofty” impression of one’s work.

“Truly, she writes for the everyday person,” he said.

“Her work is very, very accessible.”

The facility introduced several innovative techniques in British Columbia and it was the first in the province to offer ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy and ambulatory phlebectomy several years ago.The clinic is unique in that it makes extensive use of advanced color doppler and duplex ultrasound, to detect all the diseased vein segments and accurately pinpoint the source of the varicose veins.The technology thus enables delivery of a sclerosing solution into deeper lying vessels with precision that would be very difficult to achieve with conventional techniques. All this makes the treatment safer and more effective with excellent functional and cosmetic results.

Trees: Work underway on East Columbia ◗ continued from page 5

Even though the trees have been creating problems for sidewalks and pedestrians for years, she said it still comes as a surprise when they’re actually removed.

“We did it for safety issues,” said McIntosh, a Sapperton resident. “That is the main reason the trees were removed.”

Roots from the large trees had caused the sidewalks to heave and crack in some places. In some places the sidewalk was uneven.

“The right tree has to be planted for street trees,” McIntosh said. “Those trees, when you saw the stumps, they were dying.”

McIntosh liked the change to the streetscape after the big trees were recently removed.

“When I first drove down the street when the trees were gone, I loved it. Don’t

get me wrong, I love trees,” she said.

“What I like is the sense of brightness.”

McIntosh believes the new trees will provide more attention to businesses on East Columbia Street.

“When you come from Braid Street, I saw all these different coloured buildings, all these different looks,” she said. “This is the village of Sapperton.”

During consultation sessions about the streetscape project, residents were generally supportive of the changes. Some people expressed concern about loss of trees and the removal of the mid-block crosswalk at Knox Street.

A new crosswalk has been added at Cedar Street to make up for the loss of the one at the Knox Street alignment.

As part of the streetscape project, the city will be testing solar-powered pay parking stations on East Columbia Street.

Ceilidh Millar: girl on the go

From baby model to broadcaster and volunteer, local teen hopes to inspire peers to be active in the community

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Ceilidh Millar may have been slow to learn to walk as a child, but there’s no stopping her nowadays.

The 16-year-old New Westminster resident leads a jam-packed life that includes school, volunteer and community activities.

“Get involved when you are young. You get so many opportunities when you are young,” she urges her peers.

“I’d like to see more youth get involved in whatever passion they have.”

Millar, who worked as a baby model, has done some acting through the years. She had been considering an acting career, but participating in CBC News Day in B.C. steered her in a new direction.

“I am hoping I will do broadcasting,” she said. “That is the “Get involved direction I am heading in at the when you are moment.”

News Day in B.C. gave young. You get Millar experience in research- so many opporing, writing, reporting and putting together a news story – and tunities when opened some doors to a potential you are young.” broadcasting career. She’s currently providing the monthly Teen MILLAR Scene report at New Westminster CEILIDH Local teen city council meetings that are broadcast on Shaw Cable and the Generation Y segment on The Express show on Shaw.

Both shows feature information and stories about opportunities for local youth and initiatives they are pursuing. Millar doesn’t have to look far for inspiration, as she’s involved in numerous initiatives for youth including the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards program and Free the Children.

“I like it because I am really into community,” she said.

“The thing about Teen Scene is it is focusing on volunteer opportunities for youth, which I am really passionate about.”

In 2009, Millar volunteered at Vancouver We Day, a Free the Children initiative that brought thousands of local kids together at GM Place to hear motivational and inspirational speeches and performances from the likes of the Dalai Lama and Jane Goodall. Free the Children’s goals are to free children from poverty and exploitation, and to free young people from the notion that they are powerless to effect positive change in the world.

“That was really inspirational,” she said. “I want to one day be up on that stage giving a motivational speech.”

Millar has just learned she’s been selected by Free the Children to be a core team leader for the West Coast. She’ll

be attending its first-ever training academy in Toronto this summer.

Millar credits We Day with motivating her to become more community-minded.

“We Day, that was it,” she said. “I really felt after that that helping people was something I wanted to do.”

Millar is currently working on her gold medal for the Duke of Edinburgh Award, a program that encourages young people to be active, participate in new activities and pursue interests in four different areas – community service, personal skill development, physical recreation and adventurous journey.

Millar also participated in the YMCA’s Collectively Canadian program, an intercultural leadership program for youth. She’s used the skills gained through that program to launch the Proud Canadian program, which supports multiculturalism.

“I have been doing a few programs for younger kids,” she said of her local initiative. “That’s basically taking what I learned from the Collectively Canadian program and putting it into the community.”

Through her Proud Canadian initiative, Millar tries to spread the word about the need for people to engage with

people from other cultures, rather than sticking to groups of people from their own backgrounds.

“We are not mixing with each other,” she said. “We are not learning each other’s values.”

When considering acting as a career, Millar thought that cosmetology would make a good companion career.

While she was in Grade 10 she took some Grade 11 courses and skipped some elective courses so she could do an apprenticeship program through New Westminster Secondary School.

Now in Grade 11, Millar is currently doing an apprenticeship at

the Richmond School of Hairdressing. By the time she graduates from high school in 2011, she will already have hairdressing certification.

“I love it. I didn’t think I was going to like it that much,” she said. “It’s fun.

It’s so much different than school.”

Millar fits her Teen Scene and Generation Y activities around her 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. apprenticeship schedule.

“Technically I am going to college,” said the straight-A student at NWSS. Although Millar still has a year of high left before she graduates, she’s already looking to future endeavours.

In addition to attend-

ing training in Toronto this summer, Millar is continuing to think of new ideas for Teen Scene and Generation Y. Past Generation Y shows have tackled issues such as bullying and “invisible children” in Uganda, who are abducted and forced to fight in their country’s ongoing civil war.

“It does take a lot of time, especially the broadcasting,” she said. “I am constantly working on things I want to start next year.”

Amember of the Douglas College Choral Society, the former Herbert Spencer Elementary and Glenbrook Middle School student also hopes to spend more time pursuing musical theatre when time allows.

Air Cadets welcome guest AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

T

he 513 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Hornet Squadron had a special guest at its 61st annual review on June 6.

Squadron Leader Bruce Sinclair of the New Zealand Cadet Force was on hand for the inspection.

More than 120 guests and a 52 cadets aged 12 to 19 attended the event.

“This year, the cadets and guests were also treated to a Maori Haka Tribal Dance performed by the Sea and Air cadets from the New Zealand Cadet Forces,” said an e-mail from the squadron. “The Hornet Air Cadet Squadron would also like to express its gratitude to the many sponsors throughout the year including the generous support from the #263 Royal Canadian Legion in Coquitlam and the #2 Royal Canadian Legion in New Westminster.”

The 513 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Hornet Squadron meets every Wednesday from September to June near the Queen’s Park Arenex. It’s open to boys and girls aged 12 to 19, and is free to join.

Triple celebration

Vic Crockford had three reasons to celebrate at the New Westminster Rotary Club’s recent gathering.

Vic joined the club in 1960 and is the New Westminster Rotary Club’s longest-serving member.

He recently celebrated 50 years in Rotary–- as well as his 93rd birthday and 60th wedding anniversary to wife Doreen.

Fest a success

East Columbia Street was jam-packed for Sapperton Day 2010.

Event organizer Guy Ciprian said city officials

estimated more than 10,000 people attended the June 13 event, which saw the street closed from Braid to Sherbrooke streets. The event featured crafts, a BMX bike show, bouncy castles, live performances, a pancake breakfast, a rockclimbing wall, vendors and more.

“It was a really good day,” Ciprian said. “I am pretty impressed with the crowds.”

Ciprian said crowds enjoyed the musical entertainment, as well as a performance by the Vancouver Circus School. A train that drove people from one end of the street to the other was also a hit.

“It’s just a good community event,” he said.

Proceeds from the event support the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation. Last year’s event raised $8,100 for equipment and patient care enhancements at the local hospital, and this year’s total is expected to top that.

World Cup spirit

A group of South Africans gathered in New Westminster June 16 to enjoy an afternoon of soccer action.

Johnannes Nonyane, president of the South African Cultural Association that’s based in Cloverdale, said many people arranged to get time off work to gather and watch the game at the Ziada Eritrean Restaurant at 808 12th St. He said the soccer spirit was alive and well with the crowd of 20 plus people who watched South Africa play Uruguay.

“The spirit is there,” he said via telephone from the restaurant. “It is amazing.

It’s very upbeat.”

One of the women watching the game brought an authentic vuvuzela to the event. For anyone watching any of the World Cup games, they’ll know it as the source of something that sounds like a swarm of bees when thousands of soccer fans use the horns at soccer games.

Uruguay ended up beating South Africa 3-0 in FIFA World Cup play.

Compendium at library

BY ROSEMARY KEELAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

A compendium can be described as a concise yet comprehensive compilation of a body of knowledge. The Bible or The World Book Encyclopedia would be examples.

Two very useful compendiums (or compendia) have been in the library reference department for years.

The CPS or Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties is a precious resource that has been available for anyone to consult for 50 years this year. The print is tiny, the information densely packed and often technical and difficult, but this is the best source in Canada for lists of medications and descriptions of their uses, side effects, precautions and interactions with other drugs, alternate remedies and food.

There is information on treatments for overdoses, pictures of pills for identification and a guide to prescribing medications for various conditions.

Directories for poison control centres, health organizations and pharmaceutical manufacturers are included. Apart from being a mine of information for the consumer, it is reassuring to see how much knowledge is so easily available at the fingertips of health professionals (e-CPS is available online, too).

Chase’s Calendar of Events, which describes itself as “the authority since 1957” and “the ultimate go-to guide for special days, weeks and months,” is a fascinating collection of anniversaries.

From it we learn that June is Men’s Month, and every day a new issue in male roles and relationships is addressed and explored

on the website www. menstuff.org. June is also Dairy Month, observed since 1937, and promotes the nutritional benefits of refrigerated dairy foods (www.nfraweb.org) as well as Dairy Alternatives Month, which encourages eliminating dairy from your diet.

Every day has a list of birthdays, anniversaries and notable events. Paula Abdul was born on June 19, as was Nobel Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. Who knew?

◗ HISTORY

Many cultures built the city OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

T

he story of the racial and ethnic makeup of the New Westminster area has been the focus of many of our presentations and tours over the years. Topics such as the “Multicultural nature of the Fraser River gold rush,” “Chinese and Chinatowns of the Royal City” and “Multicultural Stories of Local Cemeteries” are among such programs.

Local Chinese history and accounts of the city’s Chinatowns have always drawn attention. Tours of these locations are eyeopening and filled with a range of emotional stories.

Tours of Front Street, along Carnarvon, McInnes and 10th streets and the length of Columbia, pointing out the sites of many Chinese businesses, as well as other specialized stores run by, for instance, Japanese or Norwegians, always seem to fill in a bit of our past for folks.

A challenge over the years has been to put together a set of images showing details of the various Chinatown locations, but we now have a very effective set of photographs that has proven to be an excellent teaching tool. Recently another “Chinatown” image has come to light showing the Chinese Masonic Lodge on Carnarvon Street in the background of an early fire department photo.

Local cemetery history, as related specifically to the interment of people of identifiable ethnic groups, always leads to

“discoveries” of interest.

These include Chinese and Japanese language characters, other alphabets, as well as specific symbols, images and cross styles.

Even with a language barrier in some cases, such as Chinese, we have been able to identify those people interred, especially in Fraser Cemetery, and learn about their personal stories.

One such story is of Joe Quoi, a Chinese man who died in the 1940s, who was widely known for his love of sport, especially lacrosse and horseracing. He was also known for his confectionery store downtown, where kids of all races loved to hear his parrot talk.

One person remembers a Chinese market gardener with his horse and wagon delivering vegetables door to door – great stuff for a child who also got a free carrot to eat!

The Time-out corner

Over the years we have been able to gather many stories of the not-so-flattering side of this city’s past, and these are presented and discussed as well.

We have also put together many stories that show how people persevered in the face of racism, prospered in their businesses and became active recognized members of the community.

At present we are looking at yet another story in which the city was involved in the early 1900s in fundraising with the local Chinese community for relief of famine sufferers in China.

There are many stories, good and bad, but all are a part of our local history – without both, it is incomplete. These are just a few examples of our work over the past 40 years to tell the whole story of New Westminster. Watch for more.

The quest for a cricket culture Former national teamer to hold kids’ camp in July

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

At 37 years of age, Burnaby cricketer Barry Seebaran can hardly be called an old man. But his passionate desire to return to the good old days of his favourite sport might make him appear older than his years.

The Burnaby Mountain Secondary literature instructor was, and still is, at 16 years of age, the youngest-ever player to be named to Canada’s national cricket team.

From 1989 to 2003, the slow, left-arm orthodox spin bowler competed for Canada at four International Cricket Council world cups, as well as the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Malaysia. The 2003 World Cup in South Africa was his last major competition.

Now retired from international competition, you might think it is the game he misses. But, you would be wrong.

The likeable, lanky Seebaran just wants the game he grew up with to touch more people’s lives in the same way it profoundly changed his.

“It would be so cool if the sport that I love could be supported the way other sports are,” Barry said.

To that end, Barry and his younger brother, Brian, a former Team Canada trialist, will he holding two cricket and kanga ball day camps in Burnaby in July.

The camps, sponsored

by Qoola frozen yogurt, are for both boys and girls aged six- to 13-years-old.

They will be held on July 5 to 9 and again on July 19 to 23 at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-East cricket ground.

The daily routine will include the fundamentals of fielding, batting and bowling, while also touching on sportsmanship and

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Passion play: Former national team cricketer Barry Seebaran shows off the form he will pass on to youngster who attend Seebaz’s cricket and kanga ball day camps at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-East this July. a fun cricket match before ending with his special Seebaz awards.

It’s all done to promote

what Seebaran calls creating, “a culture of cricket.”

Barry is the son of former B.C. Cricket

Association president Ben Seebaran, an outstanding spin bowler and all-rounder in his own right.

“I was part of that culture. My dad had a terrific passion for cricket.

I was immersed in that cricket culture and I want to pass it on. I’d hate to lose that tradition,” said Barry. “It’s a credit to all those passionate cricketers. It wasn’t just the skills – batting, bowling and hitting – it was the whole game, the chatting with the other teams, socializing, the tea break, the way teams hosted the other teams. You feel when it’s right, and when things are taught right, it’s like no other sport.”

Through the years, Barry has put his passion where his heart is with similar pursuits.

He began teaching introductory kanga ball in local and Burnaby elementary schools, and when he secured a teaching position at Burnaby South Secondary in 1999, he started up the first high school cricket league, which continues to this day.

He is currently assisting another passionate supporter of Lower Mainland cricket, Jack Kyle, with the pre-junior programs, teaching the under-12 players on Saturday mornings.

Barry’s cricket camps are wholly supported by Cricket Canada and the provincial body.

“It’s been well received,” Barry said, adding that the camp is just a first step towards a goal of building a network of support for young cricketers into adulthood.

“I know from past experience there are so many different ways for kids to be successful. We want to reinforce that success with fitness, skill development and tradition,” he said. “I want it to be in and of itself a success. But even if they don’t play again, I want a team here.”

And knowing Barry, he won’t stop until he too, succeeds.

He was recently heartened by the news that ◗Cricket Page 23

New Westminster allowed just one run in four games played, an 8-1 victory over the Burnaby Dynamites. The Royals blanked the Blue Jays 3-0 in the semifinals.

Juniors on top for a day

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster junior A Salmonbellies got back on track with a 17-5 victory over the lastplace Langley Thunder at Queen’s Park Arena Tuesday.

The win gave the undefeated Salmonbellies a brief stint on top of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League.

The Coquitlam Adanacs snatched back the firstplace lead following a 20-9 pasting of the Delta Islanders on Wednesday.

New Westminster now trails the junior A’s by a single point, but with a game in hand.

Daniel McQuade had a monster game for the junior ’Bellies, breaking into the league’s top 25 scorers with a 12-point outing.

The second-year righthand garnered 12 points, including a hat trick, in the win.

The dozen points brought McQuade’s season numbers to 38 points in just eight games – the only top-25 player with single-digit games under his belt.

Leif Mydske also put up some huge numbers, scoring five times, while adding four assists.

In fact, Mydske’s first goal of the game stood up as the game-winner. The 6-0 righthander finished the opening frame with a natural hat trick.

Mark Negrin also scored his team-leading sixth hat trick for the ’Bellies. Negrin leads his teammates in goals with 25 markers to date.

Tyler Digby, who leads the junior Salmonbellies in team scoring, also potted a pair of goals.

Digby is currently fifth in overall scoring with 22 goals and 57 points.

Frank Scigliano got the win in goal for the home team, stopping 29 shots.

New Westminster charged out to an 8-2 lead after the first period.

The junior ’Bellies are in Delta on Saturday and at the Bill Copeland centre against Burnaby on Sunday. Game time for Sunday’s match is 7 p.m.

Golf pro to tee off for a long run

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Riverway Golf Course professional Jodi Reimer is preparing to shoot the highest score of her career.

Reimer, the one-and-only female golf pro in Burnaby, will be teaming up with Pastor John Burns of the Relate Church in Surrey for an unthinkable 100 holes of golf in a single day to raise money for a new support home soon to be opened for young women with challenges in life.

The 20-bed newly-renovated house on four acres of land in Surrey is a program of Mercy Ministries Canada and is the first of its kind in the country.

“It’s a cause I believe in. It’s hope for girls who have lost their way and battling life-controlling issues. It’s kind of something quite close to my heart,” said Reimer.

“We’ve just teamed up and put our forces together. I have a different sphere of influence.

Golfers get it, when they think of the magnitude of it. At the end of the day, what kept (John) going was knowing it would make a difference in a girl’s life.”

Reimer, who is a member of Relate Church and a longtime supporter of the home, will play more than five full rounds on the 18-hole, 6,000-plus yards golf course at Peace Portal in Surrey, running and walking well over a marathon in distance, if every shot she makes is a straight one.

The second annual 100-hole Golf-A-Thon for Mercy Ministries will take place on Monday, June 21.

BURRUS, Margaret (Young) 1919 - 2010

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Margaret at the age of 91, on Monday, June 14, 2010 in New Westminster, B.C. Margaret was predeceased by her husband Ernie in 1995 and her parents William and Agnes (Knox) Young and her sister Mary Baxter. Margaret’s parents emigrated from Scotland to Canada in the early 1900s and settled in Sapperton. Margaret was always very interested and proud of her Scottish heritage. Margaret is survived by her 5 children: (2) daughters: Marilyn Watson (Ken), Barbara Pedersen, and 3 sons: Bob (Tanna), David (Kathy), Don (Marilynne), (13) Grandchildren and 7 Great-Grandchildren. Margaret was born at the Royal Columbian Hospital in 1919, went to school at Sir Richard McBride School and lived her entire life in Sapperton, New Westminster. Margaret and Ernie were married in Knox Presbyterian Church in 1940 and were active members of the church. Mom lived at 336 Cedar Street for 65 years before becoming a resident at the Royal City Manor in 2005. She always treasured time spent with her family, her friends and her precious grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be remembered as a loving, caring and compassionate mother and friend to all who knew her.

We wish to thank the staff at Royal City Manor for the compassion and loving care given to our Mom during her 5 years at the Manor, coping with the ever-changing confusion of Alzheimer’s disease.

A Celebration of Mom’s life will be held on Thursday, June 24, 2010 at 1 p.m. at Knox Presbyterian Church, 403 East Columbia St., New Westminster.

“Mom has gone home to her reward in heaven, there will be no more sorrow and no more tears.”

MORTIMER, Hugh Stuart

September 12, 1927 – June 11, 2010 Son of William A and Annie Christine Mortimer; beloved father and much loved member of the community left us suddenly on June 11, 2010. Hugh is survived by his brother Ernest and sister Doris (Howard) Henry; sons Art (Sue) and Rick; daughter Ruth; six grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Hugh was predeceased by his daughter Christine Grace and seven brothers and sisters. Dad was a long time resident of South Westminster and New Westminster. He had a long career in transportation beginning with delivering milk, then driving school bus for Mairs Transport and as a member of the Pre 65 Line Drivers. Hugh had a twenty year career with the Weigh Scales until retiring in 1988. Dad was a selfprofessed crib playing champion and an avid fisherman. Fun loving and good natured, “Hugh the Glue” enjoyed visiting and keeping in touch with family and friends. As a long time supporter and fan of the New Westminster Salmon Bellies and the Westminster Bruins, Hugh loved his sports. Sincere thanks to the staff and specialists at Royal Columbian Hospital for their wonderful care and to Dr. Albrecht, Hugh’s long time friend and physician. Condolences may be sent to elliott2@telus.net. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. A Celebration of Life will be held Wednesday, July 7 between 1 pm and 5 pm at Glenbrook Park Centre, 76 Jamieson Court, New Westminster.

NEED CASH AND OWN A VEHICLE?

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Relationships are important and potentially lucky Sunday. Talk, visit, travel or make a decision about one that has been a bit of a burden (or support!) for some years. You want to dive into the depths (sexual intimacy, financial commitment, research, secrets, investments, big health change) Monday to Wednesday morning, but think first. Wisdom and luck seldom go hand-inhand (ain’t that unfair, eh?) but both might combine Wednesday/Thursday. Still, major separative possibilities loom by Friday, so tread cautiously in law, love, education, international, career and family zones.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

June 20 - 26

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your energy will start growing soon! (Monday onward.) The four weeks ahead are your time to wield your clout, attract others, interview, ask favours, make major changes in direction and set important projects in motion. In all this, you will have to be more diplomatic than usual, especially this week – huge opportunities might face you, but they depend at least partly on the goodwill or co-operation of others. (If you’re an artist, writer, this –now through 2024 – is a time of potential fame.)

Romantic atmosphere Monday/Tuesday. Those opportunities/oppositions Friday/Saturday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The weeks ahead (especially this one) brew a change in your living circumstances and your career or social position. To some degree, you have control over this, and can “play your hand” or attempt to squelch these changes. But consider: the forces of change will only grow stronger (and inevitable) over the next 14 years, and at present change represents a great opportunity for you, can bring bright new horizons in romance, marriage, relocation, contracts and partnerships – and fame!

Talk/writing’s lucky Wednesday, but if you talk too much late week you could blow a deal.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The weeks ahead accent relationships, opportunities and oppositions.

You could meet an exciting member of the opposite sex – he/she seems quite talkative, might be “flustered” by events surrounding him/her. (This would indicate that marriage is not a good long-range possibility. Be aware.) You’re like a walking destiny flag this week; you’ll come into people’s lives at critical junctures.

Be diplomatic, humble, not withdrawn. Be ambitious Sunday. Hopes, happiness, bright horizons Monday/ Tuesday! Take a breather Wednesday p.m. to Friday eve. You shine, attract others, Saturday.

Taurus April 20-May 20: The month ahead brings short trips, communications, details, paper (computer) work, sibling visits – a busy but not hugely important time. However, events around you will be important.

You went through your major life crises in the 1980s through early 2008. Others go through theirs now, especially Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. For you, these crises affect your communications and other secondary life activities. So make adjustments in these areas, especially Monday and Thursday/Friday.

Relationships excite Monday/Tuesday. Sweet luck in intimacy, finances Wednesday!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Retreat. Rest, lie low, contemplate, avoid the spotlight while you do four things: catch up on neglected chores or government paperwork, plan, recharge your energy reserves, and re-connect with the spiritual realm. All these, as well as your work and health areas, face big changes this week, and generally to 2024. Realize flexibility is sometimes a good thing. When we aren’t charitable toward others we destroy ourselves. Your social connections and your attitude toward romance are also changing – see brightness here. The delusions/ illusions of the past decade will disappear, very soon!

Scorpio Oct.23-Nov.21:This week features change – and difficult relations with a Gemini or Virgo and/ or in communications, especially legal, publishing, intellectual or long-distance communications.

Consider in these areas, that Gemini or Virgo is likely right, is fighting your limitations (which makes you uneasy). The change is not central – you went through your main life struggles in the 1980s to mid-’90s. It affects four areas, in order of intensity: communications, siblings; background, government; work, health; and those areas first listed (legal, publishing, etc.) and (gentle but deep) love areas.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Tackle chores over the few weeks ahead. It’s humdrum, but you might as well plunge in.You’re rather insulated from the big changes going on all around you. Still, this month, especially this week, might transform work, employment, health and your relations with institutions, the government or head office. Listen to your hunches, to the spiritual side. You often find Gemini romantic, Virgo sexy.

This week, either someone in these signs has a lot of difficulty, or you have difficulty with him/her. Be patient. Sunday’s mellow. Friendship Wednesday/ Thursday. Retreat Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Read Taurus message – you, too, have largely gone through your life’s walk of fire, and your future is growing more calm. But major changes still loom, now to 2024, in finances, sex and to 2017 in friendships, romance, sports, and creative or child-related zones. All these are strongly affected this summer, particularly this week. You probably won’t see fireworks, but things are changing! Take the helm of your ship, especially Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Anyone who will not cooperate will never co-operate. Turn elsewhere. A big money change!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: The four weeks ahead boost your popularity. The future will brighten, optimism will reign! The world has more problems than usual, all this spring/summer, but these intrigue you, you can find opportunities “in the cracks.” Like Gemini, you’ve been through the main crises of your life, the last 12-15 years. It’s time to raise your sights – and your head! (Posture affects how others “handle” you.) A wish is likely to come true, could involve friendship or romance, creativity or children.

Main accent all week: change in friendships and love.

Be ready for it, respond, be happy!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The few weeks ahead accent life’s mysteries and depths – including sex, investments, debts, lifestyle commitments and major changes, and health. Your subconscious will float to the surface, bring dreams, hunches.

Pregnancy is possible for “eligibles.” Change will come to, or manifest via, these areas – and it will affect not only these zones, but also what (and whom) you possess, and what you earn. Dig deep, don’t be satisfied with surface answers. But also accept changes, especially in money, social and communications zones. Hard truths are true truths this week. Don’t invest – yet!

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Your passionate, romantic, love-oriented, creative, risk-taking side rises strongly over the next few weeks. You’ll ride a winning streak! But one you meet this week might not be a good marriage prospect. Your own marriage and/ or business partnerships might also face difficulties.

The problem isn’t in the relationship, it involves work, health and similar practical difficulties (e.g., the army ships your mate out). A soul-deep, serious but blossoming change occurs this week in social connections and/or romance. Mysteries Sunday. Be ambitious Wednesday! Joy (sensual?) Saturday! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
