No surprise ending for theatre fans BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

A Massey Theatre Society board member says the school district and city’s recent decision to tear down Massey Theatre and build a new 1,000-seat theatre came as no surprise. Mike Redmond said the Massey’s fate was decided months ago, and the district’s

recent consultation process and gathering of community feedback on the plan to build a new theatre along with three new schools was just a formality. “We expected this to be the end result,” Redmond said. “We are not surprised that they came to that conclusion. That’s what they indicated they would do in July, and this was one more step in that process.” Massey supporters fought to keep the 60-year-old theatre alive. An emotional band of Massey supporters turned up in droves to board of education and city council meetings last fall to save the theatre from the wrecking ball. A Save the Massey Facebook page was formed and has almost 2,200 members who want to

preserve the historic building. Despite efforts to save the theatre, Redmond said the Massey board has agreed to provide input on the technical requirements for the new theatre. “If this is the decision that city wants to go ahead with, we’ll provide any assistance to the city,” he said. The school district and the City of New Westminster endorsed motions on Monday to tear down the Massey Theatre, which has 1,260 seats, and build a new theatre. Board of education chair James Janzen told The Record that the Massey wouldn’t be demolished for at least three years, but once construction begins, it could be closed for up to two years.

As a part of the theatre replacement plan, the school district is also offering $10,000 a month for up to 30 months to supplement salaries while the Massey Theatre is out of operation. The district and the city undertook a public consultation process on the bid to build a new theatre along with a replacement high school. A City of New Westminster staff report notes that in an Environics telephone survey of 500 people, 73 per cent said they were strongly or somewhat supportive of the proposal to replace the Massey Theatre. ◗Theatre Page 8

Jonathan Cote Will consult with family

Bob Osterman Intends to run again

Jaimie McEvoy Will decide this winter

Council: Incumbents consider taking another shot in 2011 ◗ continued from page 6

Coun. Jonathan Cote, a father of two young children, said he will discuss his future plans with his family early in 2011 before deciding whether his name will be on the ballot in the Nov. 19, 2011 election. He’s leaning toward seeking a third term on council. “I am really enjoying the work I am doing,” he said. “There are so many important projects the city is looking at.” Council veteran, and former school trustee, Bob Osterman fully intends to run for another term on city council. “I was a trustee when we first started talking about the (new) high school. That is sad,” he said of the time taken to get a new high school built. “I want to see the conclusion. I want to get it done right.” While he’d like to be re-elected to council, Osterman is hoping he doesn’t see a repeat of the 2008 election campaign. “I hope this isn’t as dirty as the last election – dirty tricks, accusations, innuendo, hatred letters,” he said about the downside of the 2008 campaign. “I am not willing in any way, shape or form to put up with dirty tricks.” Coun. Betty McIntosh said she will likely run for city council next year, having been encouraged by many residents to seek re-election. Unlike her council colleagues, McIntosh said she isn’t running to see projects that are underway completed. “I am not concerned about that,” she said. “Something like the river park, we as a council were buying property along the river. It was a long-term goal. This is something that has been a vision forever.” First-term city councillor Jaimie McEvoy hasn’t decided for certain whether he’ll seek re-election.

“You can put me in a ‘more than likely’ category. I won’t make a final decision quite yet,” he said. “I haven’t been at it that long. I do like it. You can make a difference. It’s a city that I love and care about.” McEvoy expects to make his decision about the 2011 election sometime this winter after consulting with his family. Also considering another run for city council is former councillor Calvin Donnelly, who was bumped off council by McEvoy in the 2008 election. “I am considering it, fairly strongly,” he said. “Lots of people want me to run. It’s a little bit far out.” Donnelly would like to return to council and see continue work on some of the projects that were underway when he was on council. “I would like to see the Degelder project finished and I’d like to see the new park finished,” he said. “We have been dealing with it for years, trying to get that property. It is not something that happens overnight.” Another name that’s been touted as a potential candidate is nine-year city councillor and four-year MLA Chuck Puchmayr. He said there’s not a week that goes by without community members asking him if he’ll be running for mayor. “I have not made any decision on my political future. I am really enjoying what I am doing and making sure my health is 110 per cent,” said Puchmayr, who didn’t seek re-election in the 2009 provincial election so he could focus on recovering from a liver transplant. “Right now I would rule it out. That is not a decision I have even contemplated.” www.twitter.com/TheresaMcManus

Parents say hurry up on new schools BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Parents support the plan to incorporate community services, such as daycares in schools, but want the school district to “accelerate” the schedule for the construction of three new schools in New Westminster. The district parent advisory council recently passed a motion stating that it supports having Neigbourhoods of Learning centres in the new schools, but the district-wide parent group “strongly” urges the district to accelerate the schedule for the construction of three new schools – an elementary, middle and high school – in New Westminster. Neighbourhoods of Learning is a government initiative that allows up to 15 per cent of additional space in new schools to be built to meet the needs of the broader community with options like daycares and social service outlets. The parents’ motion included stipulations that Massey Theatre be replaced with a new theatre and the board of education engage in ongoing consultation with parents regarding the Neigbourhoods of Learning centres “now and in the future.” The district and the city recently passed motions endorsing a plan to tear down the 60-year-old theatre and build a new state-ofthe-art theatre at the new high school. Parents have waited almost a decade for a new high school to be built on the Massey site.

◗ MICHELLE RAINEY: 1971 – 2010

Pot activist and city native dies Prince of Pot Marc Emery’s ex-business partner and medical marijuana advocate, Michelle Rainey, has died from cancer. Rainey, who graduated from Lord Kelvin Elementary and New Westminster Secondary School, had lived with Crohn’s disease since she was a teenager and in the last years of her life struggled against melanoma and lymphatic cancer. Her husband, Jef Tek, and mother, Emilie, were at her side, each holding a hand, when she died Wednesday night at her home in Maple Ridge in spite of last-ditch, high-dosage experimental cannabis treatment. Rainey, 39, was the organizational force behind Emery’s pot-based business empire although their relationship deteriorated, and they split after being hit with a 2005 U.S. drug-and-money-laundering indictment. Rainey produced her own show on YouTube titled Michelle’s Medicinal Marijuana, distributing cannabis education packages to those who were in need and was a director for Treating Yourself magazine. Rainey and Emery met in 1998 while he was living on the Sunshine Coast and she was working in a Gibsons bank. She quit work to become his partner. Together they established the B.C. Marijuana Party and opened a bookstore-cum-pot headquarters on West Hastings Street. In the 2001 provincial election, the party fielded candidates in every riding – 79 in all. Rainey ran in Peace River South, operating out of The Alaskan Hotel in Dawson Creek.

It’s never too early to ponder city politics

Is it ever too early in New points out, the last one was rife with Westminster to talk civic politics? rumours, nasty letters and blog attacks. We think not. In fact, in this edition Voice, the fledgling electors’ group, we check in with local councillors and created a slate in the city for both council trustees and ask them if they’re going to and the school board.

But equation. one thing is certain: Every election in this Voice quickly became tagged as a city is an interesting one. “negative” group – for obvious reasons. As city councillor Bob Osterman The group’s tactic was clearly to attack.

OUR VIEW

And, while there are no shortage of political attack campaigns launched in this city, for the most part, they are far more subtle. Did it work for Voice? Yes, and no. The group now has a “negative” reputation that is hard to shake. But some issues that it spearheaded – such as potential conflicts in school issues – were long overdue to be aired and cleaned up. Some have speculated that Voice is dead. We don’t think so. As long as there is some benefit for some independents to run on slates – be they financial or philo-

sophical – the slate will continue. But its “dog in the manger” mentality will have to change for it to survive. New Westminster isn’t perfect – but there’s a growing sense in the city that developments, from the youth centre to the Pier Park, signal a sea change in a city that once felt small and ignored to a city that intends to take charge of its own destiny. Is there room for improvement? You bet. But voters, we think, will be looking for positive ideas and not negative attacks when the campaigns roll out.

Chasing the American dream IN MY OPINION ALFIE LAU

n several months, prominent high school athletes will put pen to paper on national signing day and commit to a high-profile American university on an athletic scholarship. The camera flashes will catch the young 17-year-old with a huge smile and a colourful jersey for schools such as the Oregon State Beavers or the Robert Morris Colonials. But where are those same cameras when an injured 20-year-old returns home to the Lower Mainland to continue their education? That point hit home hard for me with a recent Vancouver Sun story about Athina Vazeos, a 20-year-old SFU communications student who used to have a water polo scholarship at the University of CaliforniaBerkeley in northern California. I’ve known about Athina for seven years now because her mother, Leanna, used to work at the Burnaby NOW and The Record in the classified department. Leanna would often come to myself or sports editor Tom Berridge with Athina’s latest accomplishments, and we would find a small spot in the paper for

her. When Athina got her scholarship to Berkeley, I remember how excited Leanna was about moving her daughter to the San Francisco area. Athina had a great first year for Berkeley, but an arm injury has sidelined her for more than a year. And because she can’t play water polo, that athletic scholarship has disappeared into the ether and Athina’s back in B.C., studying to become a teacher. I give full marks to Athina for having the courage to tell her story because it’s not easy for what we term the “bounceback” students to tell their story. Student-athletes who don’t succeed wildly are easily discarded in favour of the next great hope, and there are no cameras to capture the moment when the student-athlete becomes just a student. Failure is the wrong word, but for many of these kids, it is the first time they haven’t succeeded spectacularly. As happy as that February day when someone signs on for a big scholarship, it’s probably equally sad on that summer day as that person packs up and returns to their local university or college. While I’m sad to hear that Athina’s water polo career may be in jeopardy, I’m heartened to hear she has a good enough head on her shoulders – good job, Leanna – to focus on the rest of her life and how she can still be a success outside of water polo.

Massey Theatre should be saved Dear Editor:

The article Majority support razing Massey, The Record, Oct. 16, said the majority of those who responded to the school district’s consultation process were in favour of demolishing the Massey Theatre, but the article neglected to mention there were only 243 respondents to the survey on the district’s website. That the article came out on Saturday, Oct. 16 and the special meeting regarding this issue was on Monday, Oct. 18 at 6 p.m. at the NWSS library is telling. I’m not sure why the survey was not sent via students for their parents to answer as has been done in the past with such lesser matters as modes of transportation to school. I’m sure the response would have been much greater had that been the case. Some people still don’t have access to a computer.

No functioning theatre has been intentionally demolished in Canadian history. Massey Theatre was built at a time when craftspeople took their time and pride when building, not slapped up in record time (or conversely take much longer than estimated) like nowadays. Massey Theatre is the Orpheum of the suburbs – the acoustics and atmosphere; the famous conductors who performed with symphony orchestras; local actors who graced the stage; ample parking; the heritage building; the personnel who run Massey who know how to run a theatre and are familiar with the site. Will the existing customers who when shuttled off the Michael J. Fox return to a smaller venue where people not acquainted with a new theatre are still learning the logistics? Go to each theatre and tell me which one has the ambience to soak up that makes going to theatre a pleasure and transports you to another world.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Massey is irreplaceable ◗ continued from page 6

New Westminster takes pride in its heritage buildings. That is why I am surprised that the demolition of Massey Theatre is even an option. Eight to $10 million to upgrade a historic theatre with existing customers is not an unreasonable request, and these “upgrades” would not have to be done all at once and indeed, it is debatable whether all the “upgrades” are even needed. A new “state-of-the-art” theatre would be built by the lowest bidder using materials with the lowest cost. There are always cost overuns. Has the cost of demolition been considered? The money allocated and the work that proceeded on Mercer Stadium shows that the powers-that-be made up their minds before due public consultation.

According to the Save the Massey Theatre website, there are over 2,000 people who do not want the Massey demolished. Newer is not better – witness the problems with Toyota, leaky condos, toy recalls etc., etc., etc. An arena, a skatepark and a stadium are much easier relocated than a historic landmark.

Editor’s note: A City of New Westminster staff report notes that in an Environics telephone survey of 500 people, 73 per cent said they were strongly or somewhat supportive of the proposal to replace the Massey Theatre.

Athletes: Obstacles can change dreams ◗ continued from page 6

Athina’s story got me thinking about two other local athletes I’ve had the privilege to cover over the years: running backs Keynan Parker and Steve Spagnuolo. Parker, an STM grad and New Westminster resident, son of former B.C. Lion James “Quick” Parker, earned a football and track scholarship to Oregon State in 2008. The Beavers were in Seattle last weekend, losing 35-34 to the Washington Huskies and while I perused the boxscore looking for Parker’s name, I could only see the 140 yards of the Beavers star running back Jacquizz Rodgers. I had to go to the Beavers team roster, scan through the 120 names and find the 84th name, number 20, Keynan Parker, now listed as a defensive cornerback. I had thought about going down to Seattle to catch up with Parker, one of the nicest and most polite players I’ve ever interviewed, but that would have been an awkward moment for both of us. Even a simple question such as “How are things going for you?” might lead to an answer hinting at regret or an opportunity lost or slipping away. Or maybe Parker’s happy with all that’s hap-

pened to him since graduating from STM, but that’s not a question I want to be asking him right now. I really hope Parker doesn’t bounce back to B.C. Even if he’s not getting what he dreamed of on the football field, he may be getting the experience of a lifetime studying and living in Corvallis, Oregon, at a big-time American university. I guess I’ll have to go with what the official Oregon State Beavers athletics website has to say about our local hero. “2010: Keynan (pronounced Keenan) is an outstanding athlete … expected to make contributions this season at cornerback and possibly special teams … participated in track and ran the 100 meters in 10.97 at the Pac-10 Championships with minimal training. 2009: Missed the entire season with left shoulder problems, which included surgery for a separation. 2008: Redshirt.” On a positive note, one student-athlete who chose to stay close to home is North Burnaby resident and Notre Dame grad Steve Spagnuolo. Spagnuolo, who had a chance to set the high school rushing mark for a season last year, had offers from near and far but chose to go to SFU, living and studying close to home.

Spagnuolo is redshirting this year and getting used to the university lifestyle. I’ll always remember Steve as the polite kid who called me Mr. Lau, even after I repeatedly told him that Mr. Lau was my dad and I was just Alfie. I spent an afternoon talking to Steve’s father, Tony, during a recent SFU home game. Tony is as proud of his son becoming a good man and good student as he is of him starring on the football field. “This is a year for Steve to learn, and that’s why it’s good he’s redshirting this year,” said Tony. “He’ll get a better sense of the offence for next year, but more importantly, he’s putting a lot of attention into his studies.” Maybe Steve Spagnuolo will turn out to be a star for the SFU Clan, but from talking to his dad for a couple of hours, I’m confident Steve will be a pretty fine human being once he gets out of university. So there you have it: three local athletes all taking a different path to their future. Hopefully, they’ll all succeed, but as their differing stories show, you never can tell what the future will be, even for the most talented student-athletes.

Theatre: ‘For 60 years, it’s been the orphan of the school board ...’ – Redmond ◗ continued from page 1

“When people are presented with take it or leave it, of course people will take what they can get,” Redmond said about the survey. One thing Redmond is pleased about is that the city is acknowledging the civic benefit of having a

regional theatre. “I’m happy they recognized that,” he said. Still, the outgoing chair of the Massey society – his role came to an end on Wednesday night – said it doesn’t make financial sense to tear down the Massey. (Anne Wilson Unger is now chair.

Redmond has another year on the society board.) “I think they are going to wind up spending a lot more money than they need to and end up with a less capable theatre than they could have had if they’d kept the theatre,” he said. Another concern for Redmond is that the new

theatre will have the same “dilemma” of being both a regional and school theatre, he said. The new theatre the district is proposing would be owned by the school district and leased to the city. “For 60 years, it’s been the orphan of the school board that didn’t really

want it there. Now it’s being foisted on the high school again,” he said. Redmond would have preferred to see a regional theatre built downtown, near the SkyTrain and a new multi-use civic facility, slated to be built on Eighth and Columbia streets. The Massey Theatre

Society is responsible for running the theatre. The society leases the facility from the school district, which owns the theatre. The theatre is run by professional staff and a volunteer board of directors, with a budget of around half a million dollars annually.

Security cameras OK’d for city facilities BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster is targeting three local facilities for security cameras – with more to follow. Council has approved a staff request for $130,000 to install new security cameras at recreation facilities, replacing those that are old and near the end of their useful life. Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks, culture and recreation, said the security camera program has been in place at different facilities for many years. What’s different with this program is that instead of standalone security cameras at each facility, the new digital technology will all be run through a centrally housed server at city hall. The initial phase will see new security cameras installed at the new youth centre,

the parks maintenance yard and Queen’s Park Arena. Over time, the security camera system will be implemented in other city facilities. Gibson said security cameras were part of the wish list for the new youth centre from Day 1 but didn’t make the final cut because of budget limitations. A conduit had been placed in the walls throughout the new youth centre in anticipation of a future security camera system. “Staff feel strongly that a security camera system is essential to the overall safe operation and monitoring of the activity spaces within the youth centre,” said city staff report. “A system in this facility will not only enhance the level of supervision but will allow for a recording of any activity should an incident occur.” Gibson stressed that no incidents have prompted the need for security cameras at the youth centre, which opened in

September. A staff report stated that the parks maintenance yard in Queen’s Park has a security system that’s in disrepair. It was installed many years ago in several stages in response to after-hours break-ins and thefts. “The maintenance yard contains many valuable vehicles and pieces (of) equipment and is a site of regular attempted break-ins,” said the report. Queen’s Park Arena has no security camera system, as it was built at a time when they weren’t considered. Because of the size of the facility, there are areas that aren’t monitored routinely by staff – including the hallways leading to the team dressing rooms and the area around the vending machines and administration office. “It’s not epidemic,” Gibson said about break-ins to vending machines and admin-

istration. “We have every few years folks who try and break into those spaces.” The New Westminster Police Service has recommended the installation of cameras, not only to help identify the person attempting the break-ins but also to help deter such actions. “I have to stress this is only one component of an overall effort to maintain safety,” Gibson said. “We don’t think cameras are the end-all be-all. They are one tool we have.” Gibson said most city facilities have cameras and haven’t been raised as an issue in the community. He said cameras are located in areas where they are obvious to people. Gibson said the images on the cameras won’t be monitored around-the-clock, but will be available if an incident occurs and the city needs to review that data or identify a person.

Fingerprints help lead to arrest in break-ins Fingerprints proved valuable to Mounties investigating a rash of break-ins in the New Westminster, Maple Ridge and the Tri-Cities last month. A Port Coquitlam man has been charged with seven counts of break-and-enter, and more charges are likely pending, after the Coquitlam RCMP’s prolific target team recovered more than 500 stolen items worth approximately $30,000.

A series of break-ins were reported in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Maple Ridge and New Westminster in September, leading police to bring in forensic identification specialists to several scenes to gather evidence. Fingerprints were collected, and once entered in the database, Coquitlam Mounties found those lifted from three PoCo crime scenes and one Maple Ridge

scene allegedly matched those of a prolific offender on file. The target team set up surveillance on the suspect, which led to his arrest on Oct. 15. “Our surveillance of the suspect led us to a residence where over 500 stolen items were recovered following the search of the location,” said Sgt. Steve Reinhart, who leads the team. Gregory Victor Dallyn, 36, has been held in custody since his

arrest. Reinhart said investigators are in the process of matching the recovered goods to other thefts and break-ins. A huge cache of electronics was recovered, including TVs, video games and IPods. Expensive items like jewelry and even a motorcycle were also found. The arrest comes one week after police arrested another

individual and recovered two high-end bicycles stolen from a Coquitlam home valued at over $12,000. The bikes have since been returned to the owners. “It is always a great reward to see a lengthy investigation ending with a successful arrest. But the bonus here is to be able to return some precious belongings to some of the victims in our community,” Reinhart added. – Simone Blais, Coquitlam Now

A CLOSER LOOK ◗ THE RACE FOR 2011

School board: Trustees haven’t yet settled on futures Goring couldn’t say for sure because the group hadn’t met recently. “The Voice process, I believe, helped me get the message out for what I wanted to accomplish,” he said. “I don’t think I could have done it on my own.” Goring’s fellow Voice trustee Cook said he hadn’t thought about whether he would run again next year. “I need to talk about it with my family,” Cook said. He echoed Goring’s opinion that the district has made some strides in the last couple of years, such as getting the district’s budget in order and the capital plan rolling along. “I don’t want to say we are at the end of the road on either of these, but we have made progress on these,” he said. After holding a seat on city council for a number of years, Cook jumped to the board of education in 2008. His new role as a school trustee has been a “real learning curve,” he said. “In my political life, this is a new experience for me,” Cook said. “Put it this way, I think it’s get-

Three-term trustee Graham also couldn’t say whether she would run again in 2011. “I don’t know if anyone knows,” she said. “You go back and forth.” If she does run again, Graham said it would most likely be under the Voice banner. “I can see the light at the end of the tunnel,” she said, referring to the

Officer takes the stand New Westminster cop says he had a ‘buzz’ but was thinking clearly

BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster Const. Jeffrey Klassen took the stand in B.C. Provincial Court on Wednesday afternoon and testified that he hit newspaper delivery man Firoz Khan in order to control him. Klassen is charged with assault and possession of stolen property – Khan’s cellphone – in the highprofile case involving three off-duty Lower Mainland police officers. Klassen was testifying about the events leading up to the assault of Khan, who was delivering newspapers to the Hyatt Regency Hotel when he was attacked by another off-duty officer, West Vancouver Const. Griffin Gillan, who earlier pleaded guilty to assault. The incident occurred after 2 a.m. on Jan. 21, 2009. Delta police Const. Blair Tanino, who was also at the scene of the assault, was never charged. Klassen testified that after a hockey game, he went with Gillan and Tanino to downtown Vancouver, where they continued drinking at bars along Granville Street. The plan was to go back to Gillan’s home in North Vancouver to meet up with their girlfriends, who also had been out together that night, he said.

She’s quick to say it’s impor-

tant that people understand the seriousness of the issues facing the planet – but the problem is that when those issues are presented in doom-and-gloom form, people tend to give up and stop paying attention. Her solution? Sing. Dance. Make them laugh – and send them home remembering your message.

“That, for me, is how I can make the biggest change in the world – and have a good time doing it,” LeBourdais says. DreamRider will be at Richard McBride and Herbert Spencer schools on Thursday, Oct. 28. For more about the company or to book a school production, see the website at www.dream ridertheatre.com.

The choir will be joined by flutist Lorna McGhee, harpist Heidi Krutzen, pianist/organist Stephen Smith and the Vancouver Bach Children’s Chorus. Among the program highlights will be Benjamin Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols.

Paul Gross fans everywhere, this one’s for you. (OK, it’s for me, really, but indulge me.) Don’t forget that the October film in the Last Mondays at the Movies series is Gunless – a Canadian comedy about a hardened American gunslinger who is repeatedly

thwarted in his efforts to hold a showdown in a friendly Canadian town. It’s directed by William Phillips and stars the delightful Mr. Gross (of Due South, Men With Brooms and Passchendaele fame), along with the fantastic Canadian actor Callum Keith Rennie. The film is presented by the Arts Council of New Westminster and the Massey, in conjunction with the Toronto International Film Festival’s Film Circuit, bringing award-winning foreign, Canadian and independent films to the screen on the last Monday of each month. Single tickets are $9 and can be bought on the door or online at tickets. masseytheatre.com, or by calling the box office at 604521-5050. Check out www. artscouncilnewwest.org for more details.

ou can help World Poetry New Westminster celebrate its first birthday later this month. The group is marking its first anniversary with a celebration on Wednesday, Oct. 27 at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium at New Westminster Public Library. You may have seen a few details in the Oct. 13 Record. Here, for those who are interested, is a bit more about the group – courtesy of Ariadne Sawyer. After a two-year hiatus in Vancouver on West Broadway, World Poetry Night Out was reborn in New West at Urth Café in October last year. Some months later, the New Westminster Public Library offered a space and became a co-partner of the event. Ariadne notes that the group has always had two women hosts in order to offer opportunities to women.

“Many women, especially those from multicultural backgrounds, do not have the opportunity to host a poetic, literary event,” she wrote in an e-mail. Throughout the past year, the group has had about 100 poets and writers give readings, with several hundred in its audiences. It’s taken part in a number of projects, including workshops for the World Poetry Timeline Project and peace poems sent to the John Lennon peace tower in Iceland. World Poetry also took part in the arts council’s book fair, and seven children from its Create A Poem table came back to be part of the closing ceremonies, reading their poems at the book fair. World Poetry Night Out is a program under the umbrella of World Poetry Canada and World Poetry International – operating under the World Poetry motto of “Respect and Support.” World Poetry is a volunteer-based group, and Ariadne notes that the New West volunteers are “superb.” The first anniversary celebration will include readings, an open mike and, of course, anniversary cake

CAREER COACH Setting Your Goals

When I’m asked about setting goals, I like to talk about it in terms of the big picture. If I don’t have clear goals – long term goals broken down into short term steps – then I won’t have any idea of what’s important to do on a day to day basis. One book I like to refer to is called “Going The Distance” by Rick Hanson and Joan Laub. Rick Hanson achieved Gregg Taylor his dream of a world tour in his wheelchair. The book outlines his understanding of what it took to make the tour happen – and what it took to actually complete it as well. As he describes the theory of goal setting and achievement, he inserts stories of his own experience on the tour. It’s very inspirational. Here are the basic steps that he outlines in the book for Goal Setting and Personal Change: 1) Set your goal: identify a meaningful personal goal – something that you can get excited about or has true personal meaning. 2) Cultivate your personal vision: create a clear visualization of what it would be like if you achieved the goal. 3) Plan to reach the goal: design a realistic plan broken down into small achievable steps. 4) Taking Risks: whenever we try something new we’re taking a risk. Get support if you need it. 5) Embrace the feelings: as you get started, powerful feelings will arise – both positive and discouraging. Find constructive ways to express these feelings rather than ignoring them. 6) Actively strive: If your goal is truly challenging, then it won’t be easy (that’s why all of the planning!). You will face obstacles and will need to push through or find alternative routes. 7) Experience success: When you make it to the goal, make an event of it – reward yourself, make it memorable. The memory of this feeling will help keep you going on your way to your next goal. It’s hard to achieve goals alone because we so easily get distracted or discouraged. You can access support by taking a career exploration program with a goal-setting component, or hiring a career counsellor. For more information about either option please call my office at 604-4341177. The Transitions Program, our government funded (no fee) three-week career exploration program, is available to anyone who is unemployed or under employed and eligible to work in Canada.

Cancer June 21-July 22: The month ahead features romance, pleasure, speculation, creativity, beauty and charming kids. You’ll ride a winning streak! These enjoyable matters were sprinkled through September and October, but now they flower more fully. A contentious, intense tone yields to a softer, affectionate “dalliance” atmosphere. An old flame might appear, if he/she has not already done so in the last two weeks. Sunday’s for fun, social delights. Retreat to rest, plan Monday/Tuesday. Your energy, magnetism and effectiveness soar Wednesday p.m. to Friday – go out, NOT within! Money caution Saturday. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead revolve around home, kids, property, security, soul, nutrition and Mother Nature. The friction that sandpapered these areas in recent weeks will fade – for two years. Now to January, affection fills your home. You’ll be charmed and charming! It’s a splendid time to decorate, vacation, take the kids to the pumpkin patch, etc. If you’re single, a romantic streak begins to wind through your days. If married, the boudoir brightens. If parenting, be gentle – you might push sports, adventure, too hard. Be ambitious Sunday. Happiness, hopes, plans and popularity Monday/ Tuesday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Communications, paperwork, details, errands, short trips, siblings and casual acquaintances fill the weeks ahead. Much of this continues September/October’s trends, but in bigger, luckier ways. The focus of communications changes from sex, finances, mutual property, big changes, power plays, secrets, to something lighter, more gracious: affection/sensuality, earnings instead of assets, compromise instead of power plays, etc. Less is at stake, and that buoys your heart!

NOTICE TO CREDITORS

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: A month of mystery, of psychological, financial and sexual depths awaits you. You might be “tied to” another’s finances, might invest, or take on a mortgage or other large debt. The end result will be a change in your lifestyle. This change might occur through other avenues also: health adjustments, sexual involvements (or pregnancy) etc. It’s a time of commitment and consequence. It’s also, to some degree, a time of karma – I hope you’ve been good! Research, intuition and subconscious promptings aid you. Chase money, shop early Sunday. Thursday to Saturday are sexy, romantic! Taurus April 20-May 20: The weeks ahead feature relationships – of all stripes, from marriage and business partnerships, to agreements, contracts, negotiations, dealings with the public, and the bevy of new relationships that relocation would entail. You are no longer (as in recent weeks) meeting friction and challenge from others. Now forward (to January) most dealings and links become unusually affectionate and gracious. Everyone wants to please – you included! It’s likely that a former bond, an “ex” or a former opportunity (relocation, business, public dealings, etc.) will loom large. Talk it up, Thursday. Gemini May 21-June 20: The next few weeks bring drudgery, chores, health concerns, machinery repairs/purchases and increased dependents’ needs. All these detracted from the pleasures of the last few weeks. So now the cosmos balances: during this “drudgery month” your chores will tend to be light and enjoyable, co-workers will be affectionate (or at least nice), dependents reward you and your health will improve...unless you have a sugar-related problem – e.g., diabetes. (If so, be vigilant through January.) Relationships grow fiery yet hopeful. Love could arise from an argument (and vice versa).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Chase money during the weeks ahead. Buy/sell, cultivate new clients, seek a pay raise, etc. Also focus on, and complete, major tasks or health ﬁxes. Putting them off would interfere with the lucky opportunities and relationship potentials of 2011. To late January, your work scene features intensity, longer hours and creativity – it’s one of the more interesting things in your life, until 2011.“Heavy” money issues enter Sunday (mortgage, investment, etc.) – be calm, even passive. Wisdom, gentle love early week. Ambitious wishes furthered Thursday/Friday, not before. A happy weekend! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Weariness ends – your energy, charisma and effectiveness rise – especially in money areas. For the next six weeks, increased money will come from work or health events, perhaps from overtime hours, sales. Though more money comes, strictly beware a simultaneous, unconscious need to overspend. You could purchase machinery or repairs – haggle, go slow, don’t “spend automatically.” A relationship puzzles you Sunday (perhaps because it’s going to end soon). Mysteries, hidden “treasure,” sexual lures ﬁll Monday/Tuesday. Sweet, gentle love Wednesday-Friday. Be ambitious Saturday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Rest through late November. Contemplate, plan, be charitable and spiritual, connect with institutions, government agencies. All these proceed splendidly, but other, more hectic pursuits meet headwinds, mainly because your energy and charisma are low. People don’t want to follow your lead right now. This could be a problem, because you’re feeling more determined, assertive and impatient than usual. Dicey combination! Turn that drive into creative pursuits. Indulge yourself with a little pleasure to defuse your ferocity. Valuable secrets surface Wednesday-Friday – pounce Thursday p.m.!

Oct. 24 - Oct. 30 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: A month of happiness stretches before you! Your popularity will rise. Social delights, optimism, bright future plans and group activities await. A light ﬂirtation could occur – it could be more than that if you meet in a group. Sunday accents romance.Tackle chores Monday to Wednesday morning. Relationships loom large Wednesday noon to Friday eve. There’s a disappointment or obstacle here Thursday morning, but otherwise these few days offer success in negotiations, agreements, love, partnerships, meeting or serving the public. Be open, other-oriented and eager! Mysteries, Saturday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead luckily feature ambition, career, prestige relationships and your reputation. Climb the ladder, boost your position in the world! Bosses, parents and higher-ups will (by Thursday onward) drop the impatience and temperament of the last two months.They will strongly favour you now into next January: you’ll be surprised at how graciously you and your proposals are received. Travel and socializing issue a siren song for six weeks – enjoy, but don’t be overly distracted. Romance, creative urges and pleasure call you Monday/Tuesday. Tackle work after Thursday morning, not before. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Understanding replaces mystery, light replaces dark, a philosophical attitude supplants lust.You grow more calm and compassionate. You see your future more clearly, making this and the next few weeks a splendid time to make life-affecting decisions. You might wed, or meet an important love, in the few months ahead. Travel, read, communicate Sunday. Be near home or in contact with family – or pursue security, property goals – Monday/Tuesday. Romance, a creative surge or speculative urge comes Wednesday to Friday – it’s a trap to Thursday morning, succeeds after. Chores Saturday! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
