Rolling with the times 45-year-old skateboarder says new Queensborough park is ‘absolutely world-class’

BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com

The long anticipated all-wheel terrain park located in Queensborough’s Ryall Park is finally seeing some action that doesn’t involve heavy machinery.

Fences that blocked the area off during the construction phase were finally taken down last week, and it didn’t take long for the kids to notice.

Not that all users of the all-wheel park – which is available for skateboarders, inline skaters, BMXers and anyone else on non-motorized wheels – are necessarily young.

Take James Madill, for example, a 45year-old restoration worker who said he was one of the first to arrive last weekend.

He even had to scrape some morning ice off the features before hopping on his skateboard to enjoy by himself the 12,500square-foot new park’s half-pipes, quarterpipes, ramps and other concrete features before it became too busy.

“It’s absolutely world-class, there’s no question,” said Madill, who said he has gotten back into the sport after the recent

Thumbs up: James Madill checks out the new all-wheel terrain park at Queensborough’s Ryall Park. The 12,500-square-foot park includes half-pipes, quarter-pipes, ramps and other concrete features for skateboarders, inline skaters and BMXers. boom in public terrain parks throughout the Lower Mainland. “So many guys my age are getting back into it. I’ve always been a longboarder, which I use to commute, but it is only in the past year-and-a half that I’ve been putting on pads again and going back to parks because the ones they’re making now are very fluid and have something for everyone.”

The all-wheel park is all part of a larger $5-million redevelopment project for Queensborough’s parks being led by Richard Findlay Landscape Architect Ltd.

The park’s challenging features, meant to appeal to new and experienced users alike, was designed by Jay Miron, a pro BMX rider credited with inventing numerous tricks (including the double back flip), and was built by Langley’s New Line Skateparks Inc. Madill said the Lower Mainland is gaining an international reputation for the quality of the free, outdoor facilities.

“The developers are really leading the world when it comes to planning and building skate parks,” said Madill, a father

of two boys he hopes will soon be old enough to join him in his hobby. “They’re building one in Surrey that has a 5,000square-foot roof over it too for when it rains. It’s just been really encouraging to see the sport develop and come into its own the way it has.”

While an official ribbon-cutting ceremony won’t take place until later in the spring, a parks worker told The Record that “anything that isn’t fenced off is welcome to be used.” www.twitter.com/Flematic

Society hopes to build social housing for women tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The Elizabeth Fry Society is seeking public feedback about a plan that will allow it to expand its services.

The society is proposing to build a three-storey, mixed-used development at 273/275 Sherbrooke St. that would include

10 non-market housing units and a group child-care space licensed for 37 children.

The building would be located next to the society’s existing building, which is located at the corner of East Columbia and Sherbrooke streets.

“It provides very much-needed 10 additional supportive housing units for women and a daycare to meet the needs of the com-

LIFE STORIES: NEW WESTMINSTER’S TOP COP SHARES HIS STORY

Rough start in life – and on the job

W

hen Lorne Zapotichny leaves his office on Feb. 28, he’ll have completed 43 years of policing, but he has a lifetime of memories.

Zapotichny joined the New Westminster Police Service in 1998 and in the 13 years since, he’s left his imprint on the force.

Listen to the 62-year-old talk about his life, and you discover a man of integrity who had to grow up too early.

And even when he entered his dream career – policing, his first posting left him disillusioned. But as Zapotichny ALFIE LAU rides off into the sunset to enjoy time with wife Joyce, daughters Sarah and Laura, granddaughter Avarey and a grandson expected in May, here are some vignettes from the man in the uniform. ◆ orne Zapotichny grew up in the small city of Lamont, Alta., about 60 kilometres northeast of Edmonton.

The small town of 250 people was a place where Lorne grew up as the youngest of the five children of Peter and Margaret Zapotichny.

Peter worked for the department of highways as a road grader and Margaret managed the family homestead, which included a hobby farm.

With 20 years separating the oldest daughter, Josie, from Lorne, Lorne was close to his parents, siblings and Josie’s husband, John Herchek.

Everything would change on the cold morning of Nov. 29, 1960.

“I remember every detail from that day vividly,” said Lorne. “I was 12, going to elementary school, and sitting two rows in front of my brother Wayne, who was sitting at the very back of the bus.

“They let me out at my school because the high school is further down, and I remember turning around to Wayne and saying to him ‘See you later.’

“When I got to school that morning, it was weird, and we all knew something had happened. … The teachers seemed to be in a panic, but nothing was said.

They told us we’d be going home, and I remember it was funny when another bus, with another driver, came to pick me up. I remember being very confused. We lived nine miles from my school, so it seemed like a long drive home.

“When I got back, it was bitterly cold outside, and I remember seeing my dad’s car gone and nobody was home. I walked in the house, and I saw my brother’s shoes, and I knew something was wrong.

“Finally, my brother-in-law (John) came to pick me up and took me to the hospital. … I found out that the bus had been hit

Rewarding career: Lorne Zapotichny’s final day as chief constable of the New Westminster Police Service is Feb. 28, and the city’s top cop celebrates 43 years in policing, including the last 13 in the Royal City. by a train and a lot of the kids died. … My brother Wayne was 16.”

The tragic accident would see 17 students, 15 of them girls, die, with another 24 injured when a CNR freight train collided with the school bus at the Lamont railway crossing.

Losing a brother could have scarred Lorne for life, but, at that moment, he knew what he had to do.

“I knew how devastated my parents were about losing Wayne,” said Lorne. “I knew that I never wanted to create any heartache for them because they couldn’t lose another son. … I had to grow up very quickly. I think as I look back on that time, I learned a lot about being empathetic, and that’s helped me in my career because I’ve had to go tell people they’ve lost a loved one. I’ve had to investigate fatal car accidents. I’d like to think I know how to deal with people because I had to deal with it myself.”

Lorne returned to Lamont last November for the 50th anniversary of the bus crash. ◆ Lorne Zapotichny knew when he was 14 that he wanted to be a police officer. The hardest part was telling his mom.

“I was 14, living in a little town of 250

people, and I was on my way to the post office when I saw a police car drive into town. You have to remember that the main detachment was in Fort Saskatchewan, so we didn’t see police cars drive into town too often.

“Two Mounties get out with their stetsons, lanyards and their spurs, and they start walking right toward me. I remember hearing the spurs, and just as I looked up at one of them, with my mouth wide open, I said to myself, ‘I want to be one of them.’”

Zapotichny would get good grades in school, and he was quite a gifted athlete, playing pitcher in summer baseball and being a stay-at-home defenceman in hockey during the winter.

While his high school yearbook noted that Zapotichny would like to become a physical education teacher in the future, the 18-year-old had other ideas.

“I applied to the RCMP not long after I finished school,” said Lorne. “My dad was pretty supportive, but my mom, how should I say this, she had some concerns.”

Lorne would tell his mom how much he wanted to be a police officer, and, on Nov. 24, 1967, Lorne would get on a train in Edmonton, headed to the RCMP depot in Regina for three months of training.

“It was pretty emotional for my family because I was the first one to leave the area. This was a big event for my extended family. When I got on the train, a lot of tears were shed.”

After spending his first three months in Regina, Lorne would spend his final three months of training in Penhold, Alta. When he completed his training, Lorne was asked by his commanding officer where he wanted to be posted.

“At that time, you couldn’t get posted back to your home province or your home city,” he said. “And I think I wanted B.C. and I was told by people that if you wanted B.C., you should ask for Saskatchewan or Manitoba.

“Well, during my interview, the corporal asks me when I want to go and I said I wanted Saskatchewan or Manitoba. He looks me in the eyes and tells me, ‘BS you want to go to Saskatchewan or Manitoba.’

I looked him in the eyes and said that’s where I want to go.

“He tells me ‘I’m sorry I have to disappoint you, you’re going to Penticton.”

And it would be in Penticton where Lorne Zapotichny almost gave up on his policing career. ◗Zapotichny Page 8

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Water issue is political ◗ continued from page 6

of Canadians member Andrew Murray is as unaware and as poorly informed about CUPE’s aggressive, highly political, Canada-wide anti-bottled-water campaign as he pretends to be. Does Andrew Murray honestly think the people of New Westminster and readers of The Record are that naive and gullible?

Andrew Murray surely knows full well that CUPE and the Council of Canadians have been collaborating and campaigning together to ban bottled water for many years right across Canada.

Banning bottled water is a key component of their joint anti-private sector/ anti-privatization campaign, and there are hundreds of newspaper articles and documents online that attest to this joint campaign effort, including their collaboration on the infamous “Tappie” awards last March. Andrew Murray cannot possibly be unaware of any of this.

These same newspaper articles and documents also attest to CUPE’s monetary interest in seeking to have bottled water banned (as opposed to banning all bottled beverages).

The leadership of CUPE clearly believe that bottled water will lead people to

think municipal water is not fit to drink and that this will in turn lead to less investment in municipal water supplies and materially impact CUPE jobs and wages.

In the mind of CUPE’s leaders, it may even lead to contracting out water services to the private sector.

As I’ve pointed out in previous letters, there is only one issue of any consequence in this matter: As an employee of CUPE, trustee Watt is in a conflict of interest on the issue of banning bottled water in the New Westminster school district.

By way of analogy: If a member of New Westminster city council was employed as a confidential secretary to a property developer, and that member of council did not recuse herself from discussions and/or votes relating to zoning and/or planning issues which could monetarily impact her employer, there would be a loud and immediate public outcry.

So, contrary to the views expressed by Andrew Murray, the only relevant issue here is conflict of interest on the part of trustee Watt whenever she involves herself in matters that pertain to her employer’s monetary interests, including seeking a ban on bottled water in the New Westminster school district.

Party: Time for a ‘season of reason’ ◗ continued from page 6

start of the “silly season.”

I thought it important to clarify to Mr. Harper that, while it may be the “silly season” for him, it is the “season of reason” for taxpayers who paid for this party.

Further, on Jan. 10, during a delegation, Coun.

Harper insisted I go to staff for answers. His reason being, it was not appropriate at public delegation to ask council about these matters.

Citizens should take umbrage with this statement. Concerned citizens should be encouraged to question their elected officials about expenditures during delegations and not discouraged or referred to staff.

In early January, I received an addendum

report that was issued to media and council (Dec. 21), but not the public.

This second report raised more concerns and confirmed my initial observation that the original report was incomplete.

Of note was the new disclosure that staff wages, amounting to an “estimated” $318,000, formed part of the $427,000 in-kind expense.

How were the wages estimated? Were they estimated at regular hours, overtime hours, holiday hours, and was this time reimbursed to staff as time off?

In addition to staff wages, there is another $109,000 of in-kind donations recorded in the addendum that needs further explanation.

Astoundingly, there is

absolutely no reporting of any income such as 150 celebration merchandise and event ticket sales!

For the record, I believe the 150 celebration party was a great event for our city!

Thanks to both staff and volunteers for their commendable work.

I am strictly questioning the finances of this event.

This quest for answers will no doubt attract those who can offer only responses of deflection and insult, which is unfortunate.

There are many people, including myself, opting instead for positive answers and creative ideas to legitimate questions and citizens concerns.

Let the season of reason begin.

Zapotichny: Chief hangs up his hat ◆ One of the first cases Lorne was assigned to was a series of break-andenters at Penticton hardware stores.

“I remember being given a portable radio, one that hardly worked, and I’d spend nights in hardware stores waiting for something to happen. … Just my luck that nothing happened.”

Meanwhile, a more senior officer was transferred into Penticton to run the radio scanners and answer the phones while Lorne and another officer – with whom he was sharing a basement suite at the time – investigated the break-and-enters.

“One day, my partner tells me that I’m now on the radio and phone, and the two of them are going out on the road to do some investigating. … They go out, and I’m supposed to check up on them in the afternoon.”

By 3 p.m., Lorne hasn’t heard from the other two officers, and he starts to get worried. As each half hour ticks by, Lorne still can’t get reach them.

“I finally get a hold of them at 5 p.m., and they get back around 5:30 p.m., and they’re all covered in dirt. They told me there were helping some woman out in the toolies, and I don’t think anything more of it. …I went home to go to sleep.

“I’m woken up at around 9 a.m., and there’s four police officers knocking on the upstairs door. … Next thing I know, the police are taking (my suite mate) away.

“It turns out a little old lady saw a safe being taken out of the Legion, and she wondered why there was a police car and two guys loading up the safe. … Turns out they were out in the toolies trying to break the safe open. … It was the two of them who had committed all the break-andenters.”

Lorne would be questioned by internal affairs officers to make sure he wasn’t part of the criminal behaviour, and he would be cleared, but the incident scarred Lorne.

“I’d spent my whole life putting the RCMP on a pedestal and here, a couple of co-workers are dirty. It was hard for me to comprehend. … I’m three months on the job and the atmosphere’s so acrimonious and I’m so disillusioned that I told the commanding officer that I was going to resign.”

Instead, his commanding officer asked if he’d consider a transfer. When Lorne said yes, he found himself in Castlegar.

Castlegar would be the second of 10 RCMP postings for Lorne, many of them forgettable, but Trail would be the most rewarding posting of them all. ◆ “Trail’s where I met my wife, Joyce,” Lorne said proudly. “We’re going to celebrate our 40th anniversary this July 10.”

It certainly didn’t look like that would happen when Lorne first met Martha Kadiddlehopper.

“I went to a party one weekend, and I came with another girl,” said Lorne. “I’d just worked three days straight, and I hadn’t shaved, and I probably looked like a greaser. I saw her across the room, and

she was with another guy, but I was definitely interested.

When I asked her her name, she said she was Martha Kadiddlehopper. I told her it was nice to meet her, and I left.”

Lorne went back to work Monday, and his first case was a break-and-enter at a local school in Trail.

“I enter the school, and it’s like a mouse trap because it’s just a bunch of portables strung together,” he said. “I turn a corner, and who do I run into but Martha. She gave me some directions because I was lost and she was much happier to talk to me because I had shaved and I was in uniform, and she didn’t know (on the weekend) that I was a police officer.

“She’s thinking she blew her chance with me because I keep calling her Martha, but as I turn away, she tells me, ‘My name’s not Martha.’

“I know, Joyce,” Lorne told his future wife. “I’ve done a little super-sleuthing myself.”

The couple would date for two years before getting married on July 10, 1971. ◆ When Lorne Zapotichny came to New Westminster in 1998, it was at the personal request of then-chief Peter Young, who wanted to create a deputy chief position for the then officer-in-charge of the Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam RCMP detachment.

“I’d heard good things about New Westminster and here I was, completing 30 years with the RCMP, and I’m looking at this opportunity to go into municipal policing. … I had a five-year plan to do five years in New Westminster and finish with 35 years in policing.”

By 2000, Peter Young would retire and Lorne would ascend to the top cop job in the Royal City.

“I wasn’t even sure I wanted the job, but then I thought about all the work Peter and I had done in building something in two-and-a-half years, and I didn’t want someone to come up and change everything,” said Lorne. “So I took the job, with an eye to only doing it for three years, to get to my 35 years.

“I soon discovered I was having a lot of fun with the job. The support from council, the board and all of the staff, it was a really good trust relationship. I just kept renewing the contract when they asked me to stay on.”

By 2009, Lorne had decided to leave, but with the 2010 Winter Olympics so close, he decided to give it one more year.

“I know it’s time now,” he said. “If I have any regrets, it’s that the time has gone by so quickly.”

Besides spending time at his cabin on Indian Arm, Lorne wants to spend time with his grandchildren. He also wants to travel with Joyce, with a trip to Palm Springs in March one of the first places they’re headed.

“I guess it’s better to leave the party on a high note than have people ask you to leave. … I’d like to think I’ve done a pretty good job and met all the challenges here. … I wish my successor the best of luck.”

City releases more details on 150th celebration costs

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster has released more details about costs associated with its 150th anniversary celebrations in 2009.

A Dec. 13 staff report stated that the city had $586,000 in cash expenses and received $427,000 in in-kind expenses for the yearlong event. The city stated that its actual costs were reduced through grants and revenues.

“We got good bang for our buck,” Rick Page, chair of the 150th Celebrations task force, told The Record in December.

“We got over $1 million of services for $330,000.”

On Dec. 21, Page provided council and the city administrator with a follow-up memo that provided additional details about the costs associated with the 150th anniversary celebrations.

In January 2009, city council approved an expenditure of up to $374,162 for the city’s 150th anniversary celebrations, with the understanding that staff would be looking to offset costs through grants, partnerships and sponsorships. The city received $220,000 in grants – a $20,000 grant from the B.C. Heritage Foundation and a $200,000 federal Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage grant.

According to the Dec. 21 memo, cash expenses for the 150th celebrations totaled $586,000. That included: $55,000 for office expenses and project management; $165,000 for city-organized events; and $166,000 for advertising, marketing and promotions.

“The balance of $200,000 relates to the city’s 2009 community grants program,” said the memo. “As the city’s 2009 community grants programs stipulated that community organizations support the 150th celebrations with their own activities – it was estimated that approximately one-third of the $612,000 in 2009 city community grants was considered a 150th celebrations expense and reported as such in the federal grant program.”

The staff report about the 150th anniversary celebrations went to council on Dec. 13, after the city received the final payment of the federal grant. The December report outlined events that took place during the year, but didn’t

include financial information such as a breakdown of in-kind donations, or revenues generated from the sale of tickets to events or merchandise.

The followup memo states that it’s estimated $427,000 was provided through in-kind services: city equipment/supplies and facilities subsidies (from existing departmental budgets) – $12,000; city staff costs (from existing departmental budgets) – $318,000; and community supplied services such as volunteers, materials, prizes and donations – $97,000.

“In-kind services by staff are common for all community events in the city, said the memo. “In this case, they were estimated in order to help with the city’s grant application.”

The memo states that city staff costs included efforts from employees in administration, communications, police, fire and parks, culture and recreation departments. Community-supplied services included Massey Theatre, Tourism New Westminster, corporations, local businesses, the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce and community service clubs.

When the community grant contributions ($200,000) and the federal grant ($200,000) are excluded from the total cost of $586,000 for the 150th celebration events, the report states that the city spent a net of $186,000 on the year-long celebration.

New Westminster celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2009 by holding a number of events throughout the year, including a kickoff tea at Century House, a school art initiative, a historic soccer game featuring the rules and uniforms from 150 years ago, the Royal City Gala that featured many local artists, a brunch cruise on the Fraser River, a heritage trolley tour, a heritage picnic, a heritage fashion show and more. Promotional materials created as part of the anniversary included a 150th display that was shown at locations around the city, a historic slide presentation, street banners and a commemorative calendar distributed to more than 34,000 households.

Page said the 150th budget went through a “pretty rigid” process as part of the federal grant process and was also considered as part of KPMG’s annual audit of the city.

Have you seen these missing items?

AROUND TOWN

I

THERESA MCMANUS

f you happen to know the whereabouts of some items that went missing around town over the holidays, some local groups would like to hear from you.

The New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society is missing a sign promoting its tree chipping event, which took place Jan. 8 and 9. The sign went missing sometime before Christmas from the fire hall in the West End. “One of our tree-chipping sandwich boards got swiped from outside the Number 2 hall,” said firefighter Glen Bailey, president of the charitable society. “If anyone sees it or has it and could return it, it would be greatly appreciated.”

While it was stolen from the West End hall, the sign can be dropped off at any of the city’s fire halls.

Thornebridge Gardens, a seniors’ residence located at the corner of Sixth Street and Eighth Avenue, was targeted by thieves over the holidays. Thornebridge Gardens has been trying to add to its light display each year, but it suffered a bit of a setback this year.

“This year during the Christmas holidays we came in one morning to find that someone had stolen three of our six big wreaths right out front of

our door,” said an e-mail from marketing manager Debbie Clarke. “The interesting thing is that they were screwed onto our pillars and were wired for electricity up high, so someone would have had to use a high ladder to get to each.”

The folks at Thornebridge Gardens are disappointed that their display is no longer complete.

Site launched

The City of New Westminster’s parks, culture and recreation department has launched a new look for its website.

Found at www. newwestpcr.ca, the new website represents the department’s new name (which now includes culture), logo and the recent addition of cultural services. The website also has a new online registration feature that allows customers to securely register for the programs, services and memberships when they want and where they want.

Look at history

The next New Westminster Historical Society evening features a miscellaneous look at local history.

The historical society will kick off a new year of presentations on Wednesday, Jan. 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the New Westminster Public Library. The topic – Another Year, Another Miscellaneous Look At Our Local History – features a presentation by local historian Archie

Miller.

“This popular topic will kick off the historical society’s new year of presentations for the historical society,” said a press release. “This is an evening of images with a variety of themes, most suggested by participants of the group, and the simple showing of miscellaneous photos has proven to be a favourite.

This is a chance to see a wide-ranging array of images with linked stories all about the local community and its past.”

This year’s list of photos includes the former distillery (Westminster Distillery and later Seagrams) in Sapperton, Sapperton Landing Park construction and the changes in that area along the river and the demolition of Woodward’s store at Sixth and Sixth to make way for what is today’s Royal City Centre. Also on display will be some views of Poplar Island, the initial SkyTrain run in early 1986 from New Westminster to Vancouver, some images of the site of the new park on the waterfront known as Westminster Pier, a few requested aerial views of the city, in particular some showing the Sapperton area under discussion with the United Boulevard connection, and more.

The program is free, and everyone is welcome.

There is no need to preregister.

◗ IN THE LIBRARY

Promote early reading

BY ANDREA LAM CONTRIBUTOR editorial@royalcityrecord.com

A

t the start of the New Year, many adults resolved to improve their physical health or learn a new skill. You can help your child by resolving to develop and improve their literacy skills.

Family Literacy Day is Thursday, Jan. 27, and the library is hosting an afternoon of stories, games and giveaways from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Early literacy skills include: narrative (ability to tell stories), letter knowledge (identifying letters and their sounds), print awareness (recognizing words in the world around them, knowing how to hold a book and turning the pages), vocabulary (identifying people and things using the correct name), print motivation (finding an interesting author or subject and engaging in it often) and phonological awareness (understanding the sounds of words in song, rhymes, and games).

Parents and guardians can demonstrate activities to encourage their child’s understanding of language. Building literacy skills can be a family activity, and if you are already reading aloud with your child or attending one of the library’s many storytimes, you are taking steps that benefit the whole family at school, work and play.

During the holidays, letters may have been written to family, friends and even Santa. Set aside time to write a short e-mail, letter or even grocery lists together to maintain these skills throughout the year.

You can build word and sound recognition through group singalongs, karaoke and listening to music. Playing board games together is a good way to bond and enhance word and number recognition. A few to try include Scrabble, Bananagrams, Pairs in Pears, Appletters, Dominos, Quiddler, Take Two, Boggle, Bingo, Cranium, Pick Two and Upwords.

The library hosts storytimes and other activities to foster the love of the written and spoken word. See www.nwpl.ca/kids for or call 604527-4677.

For the love of words: Natasha Raey, literacy outreach coordinator, and librarian Ellen Heaney of the New Westminster Public Library are gearing up for Family Literacy Day. The Literacy Now New Westminster committee is encouraging organizations to host a location for a New Westminster Reads event in the week of Jan. 24.

Literacy for a lifetime Literacy Now group wants local people to get on board for Family Literacy Day

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Literacy Now New Westminster is encouraging as many local groups as possible to support Family Literacy Day. The Literacy Now New Westminster committee is encouraging organizations to be a host location for a New Westminster Reads event, which would have them inviting families and individuals to join them to read for a five- to 10-minute reading during the week of Jan. 24.

Literacy Now New Westminster will help groups organize and promote events, will provide up to $30 for each location to provide residents and keepsake bookmarks

for all participants.

Natasha Raey, literacy outreach coordinator, said 11 groups participated in last year’s inaugural event.

“Last year was all non-profits,” she said.

“We are going to see if we can get some small businesses to enlist.”

The Hospitality Project, Family Services of Greater Vancouver and the New Westminster Public Library are among the groups planning to hold events for this year’s Literacy Day. New Westminster Public Library is also helping by making storytellers available to groups wanting to put on events but not having anyone available to do a reading.

Family Literacy Day, held annually on Jan. 27, was developed in 1999 to encourage families to read and learn together on a daily basis.

Literacy Now New Westminster is a group of organizations and individuals

Choose from 2 Fantastic homes at the Quay

who are working to increase literacy and access to literacy services for residents and families.

“We are helping different organizations throughout New Westminster put on events for the public and their clients to go to,” Raey said.

Last year’s events included storytime for children to a reading for women while they enjoyed a pasta meal.

“Our goal is to promote literacy from cradle to grave,” Raey said.

The deadline for signing up for a New Westminster Reads event is Jan. 19.

“Our literacy committee is hosting the day and trying to encourage people to participate,” Raey said. “We are funded by Legacies 2010.”

Photographs reveal city’s changes OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

W

e have talked of photographs quite often in this column, especially about what can be learned from older views and how modern views can help us to understand a current situation. A set of related images from past to present can certainly lay out very clearly the changes that have taken place in a specific location.

Later this month, a presentation will show a large set of images requested by local people who want to see a particular place or site. The choice of image is often interesting as well, as some link directly to current events while others relate to a story from the past.

Perhaps because of the number of current issues impacting on the

Sapperton area, several requests relate to that end of town. One concerns Sapperton Landing park and how it came to be.

Many new residents don’t know that this park is relatively new and is, for the most part, a completely “man-made” landform.

It has now been open for almost 10 years, and pictures in the presentation will show its construction along the river’s edge.

There will also be photos from the area of the old Sapperton distillery site. The Westminster Distillery, and later Seagrams, were located at the bottom of Braid Street, next to today’s Braid Street SkyTrain station. It was a large business with interesting and imposing brick and concrete structures.

Last year, people wanted to see early views of the “Brewery District.”

This year, the area along Brunette related to the proposed United Boulevard connection is of interest, and a few of those images will be included.

At the other end of town, Poplar Island, the

island in the middle of the Fraser’s North Arm, just downstream from the Queensborough Rail Bridge, always draws requests for information.

Photos show the island connected to the mainland by a bridge, as a shipyard, a lumber mill site, and more. It is a place with a storied past, and photographs are a great way to understand more of its physical environment.

For many people, the Royal City Centre block has always been as it is today, but a look back to the old Woodward’s store and its demolition will bring things up to date.

The prominent Sixth and Sixth corner included Woodwards from 1954 to the early 1990s, and when it was torn down, groups of people gathered to watch, to remember, and to say goodbye to an “old friend.”

Want to see these New Westminster photographs, and more? Come out to the historical society, Wednesday, Jan. 19, starting at 7:30 p.m. at the public library auditorium.

Tie Day fundraiser a success once again

BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com

The latest instalment of Tie Day, an annual fundraiser organized by Royal City Jewellers that auctions off ties autographed by local and international celebrities, raised a total of $8,321 for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.

This year’s top-selling tie, which went for $355, also featured artwork from renowned B.C. artist Robert Bateman.

“That could definitely be worth something someday,” said sales manager Ken Basso. “That is an original painting by a world famous artist.”

The local fundraiser was first conceived 15 years ago by Royal City Jewellers founder Howie Isman, who passed away

in August at the age of 93. His son Michael plans to keep the tradition going, along with the family business.

“Michael has already added new ideas, such as adding the auction on EBay for international exposure,” said Basso.

He said that continuing the tradition was important to the late Mr. Isman.

“Not one day would go by that Mr. Isman wouldn’t come to my office and share ideas about the upcoming event. He was a gentleman with a genuine concern for those less fortunate, and he worked on Tie Day up until two weeks before his passing.”

The annual auction takes place in November, and bids can be placed on the store’s website, www.rcj.ca, before moving on to EBay.

It could be a view of the river from your balcony, or a view of how life truly is better in a small city – but most people in New Westminster have something that touches their heart in the Royal City.

To audition, you must be at least 16 years old.

Hopefuls should prepare an audition song from any Gilbert and Sullivan or Broadway show. An accompanist will be provided. Bring sheet music in the appropriate key and three-hole-punched in a binder for the pianist.

If you don’t have sheet music, a cassette or CD track, without vocals, can also be used.

Auditions will be held Tuesday, Jan. 18 and

Thursday, Jan 20, with callbacks on Sunday, Jan. 23.

They’ll be led by artistic director Christina Wells Campbell, musical director Vashti Fairbairn, choreographer Carol Seitz and producer Reginald Pillay. Auditions will be by appointment. E-mail fvgssproducer@gmail.com, and you’ll get a return email with audition time, date and location.

’Bellies stay in-house to find coach

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Salmonbellies didn’t have to look very far for a new senior A lacrosse head coach.

New Westminster assistant general manager and defensive coordinator Ken Thomas agreed to take over the head coaching reigns of the three-time Mann Cup finalists after three seasons in the Western Lacrosse Association as the club’s assistant coach. Thomas replaces Hall of Famer Bob Salt, who was let go in November.

“I listened to all the socalled experts out there, when I made the decision to relieve Bob (Salt) I just thought we needed a change, but the one name that kept popping up was Ken Thomas,” said Salmonbellie president and general manager Dan Richardson.

Thomas will be backed up behind the bench by former star Chris Gill, who returns for a second season as assistant coach, and Troy Poelzer, who took a year off from his assistant coach

position while still holding on to the position of director of collegiate scouting.

Thomas welcomed the opportunity to lead the Salmonbellies in pursuit of a 25th national senior A lacrosse title and acknowledged the work done by his predecesor in attempting to accomplish that feat.

“Everybody knows, respects and likes Bob (Salt), … but we’re pleased to have the opportunity (to coach),” said Thomas.

“We’ve been very successful as a group in the last few years.”

Both Thomas and Richardson maintained the coaching change is not expected to radically alter the Salmonbellies’ playing style.

“I don’t think it will be a black-to-white change.

It will be a shade of grey change,” Richardson said, adding the Salmonbellie players have been told of the coaching change and all are excited about the change.

“We’re all excited about Ken. Everybody’s coming back. There are no whole-

Rebels start climb back to top with win

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

There is nothing more dangerous than a deposed No. 1-ranked high school basketball team.

The Burnaby South Rebels tumbled out of the No. 1 spot in the provincial high school boys’ rankings this week, following a third-place showing at the Legal Beagle hoop tournament last week.

South was seeded third overall in the AAA boys’ rankings behind Legal Beagle champion R.C. Palmer and Kelowna, which moved up from fifth place to second overall following a 72-57 victory over the 16-2 Rebels in the tournament at Terry Fox. Unfortunately for the Byrne Creek Bulldogs, their Burnaby/ New Westminster high school opening game on Monday was two days later against South.

The Rebels wasted no time

getting back to basics.

The top preseason pick opened the matchup against Byrne Creek with a balanced attack and easily romped to an 84-59 victory over the Bulldogs.

“We were playing as a team again,” said South guard Manroop Clair, who had 15 points for the Rebels. “It’s what we have to do. As a team, that is how we’re going to accomplish our goals.”

Grade 11 post Nick Irvine was South’s go-to guy in the opening quarter. The 6-5 Irvine paced the Rebels with 11 first-quarter points and led the squad with a team-high 23 despite sitting out most of the fourth quarter.

Byrne Creek’s Kennedy George led all scorers with 37 points, including an impressive 11-of-11 from the free-throw line.

George scored 18 of the Bulldogs’ 28 first-half points.

The Grade 11 forward said Byrne Creek must change its

Quentin Nugayen was also a valuable substitution for the Rebels, scoring seven of his nine points in the final quarter.

South starter Lazar Cuk chipped in with 10 points.

Grade 10 guard Glen Morgan had eight fourth-quarter points for the Bulldogs, including a pair of long-range bombs.

Off to fast start

The New Westminster Hyack girls opened their BNW hoop season with an emphatic 104-25 win over Cariboo Hill.

Meriam Ali and junior Natasha Lazecki led the provincial honourable mention Hyacks with 24 and 23 points, respectively.

Ariana Sider, Kelsey Lonergan and Jettie McLaughlin all hit double figures in scoring.

This weekend, the Hyacks are at the Top Ten tournament at Centennial Secondary School.

Traded away: Grandview Steeler forward Steve McKeown, left, was dealt to the Aldergrove Kodiaks at the junior trade deadline earlier this week.

Junior B Steelers deal at Monday deadline

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The Grandview Steelers shored up a few loose ends at the junior hockey trade deadline.

The Jr. B Steelers picked up 20-yearold forward Mike Phillipson and 18year-old blueliner Cody Rowand from the Aldergrove Kodiaks of the Pacific International Junior Hockey League in exchange for the playing rights of Steve McKeown and future considerations on Monday.

Phillipson is a gritty player capable of putting up good scoring numbers, said Steelers head coach Aldo Bruno. Phillipson has posted 35 points so far this season and is among the top 20 in junior B scoring.

Rowand can take care of business at both ends of the rink, Bruno added. “(Grit) was definitely one thing we were lacking and contributions in the back end. These guys are definitely going to help,” Bruno said.

Both are expected to be in the lineup when Grandview takes on the North Delta Devils at Sungod Arena on Saturday.

Burnaby will get its first glimpse of the two Steeler newcomers at the Burnaby

Winter Club on Sunday against the Abbotsford Pilots. The game is scheduled for 4 p.m.

Last week, Grandview moved past the Devils into third place in the Tom Shaw Conference with a 5-0 win over the Ridge Meadows Flames on Jan. 9.

First star Norbert Biszczak recorded his second shutout of the season, stopping 26 shots en route to his 15th win of the year.

Second star Nicholoas Gushue opened the scoring with the only goal of the first period.

Third star Danny Merth scored on a second-period power play and assisted on Marko Gordic’s team-leading 24th marker of the year later in the period.

Another one on the move

Calgary Hitmen defenceman Matt MacKenzie was also on the move at the junior league trade deadline.

The 19-year-old MacKenzie was dealt to the Tri-City Americans in exchange for Brooks Macek, Spencer Humphries and a conditional third-round pick in the 2012 Western Hockey League bantam draft.

MacKenzie had two goals, 21 assists and was a minus-13 with the Hitmen prior to the trade.

Coach: We set a high standard for selves -sale changes (to the lineup),” said Richardson.

“We’re all pretty pumped they’re all coming back.”

Having the Mann Cup played on the West Coast this season will in no way add to the burden of expectations put on any individual picked to take over the WLA’s storied franchise and most successful club in recent times.

“We put a lot of pressure

on ourselves in the last five or six years I’ve been on board. We set a high standard at all times,” Thomas added. “We’re competitive, and we look forward.”

Thomas was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in the player category last year. He spent 13 seasons in the WLA, including 10 with the Burrards organization.

Thomas won a single Mann Cup with the

Game-winning points for Desert Dog

Kyle Turris had a goal and an assist in just 12 minutes of action in the Phoenix Coyotes’ 4-3 win over the St. Louis Blues on Monday. Turris tied the game 3-3 on a wrist shot in the third period with his seventh goal of the season. Minutes later, Turris assisted on Taylor Pyatt’s game-winning tally with his 13th point of the season.

Coquitlam Adanacs in 2001. He was a five-time league all-star.

While the summer senior A season is still four months away, Thomas and his group will set their sights on the junior entry, draft which is just around the corner.

New Westminster has the third pick in both the first and second rounds in the upcoming WLA junior draft.

ROSS, Gerald Norman

With family by his side, Norman passed away peacefully on January 10, 2011 at Burnaby General Hospital, due to complications associated with Parkinson’s disease. He is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Julie (nee Tonoski), his children: Elaine (David), Howard (Judy), Donald (Liz), Aleta (Rick), Warren (Holly) and Janice; his grandchildren: Jana (Rod), Aaron, Alexandra, Camille, Quinn, Michela and Emily; his great-grandchildren: Caprianna and Zeth, his brother John/Jack (Helene) and many loving nieces and nephews.

He was pre-deceased by his brother George and his sister Sara/Sadie.

Dad was born on January 2, 1924 in Revelstoke, BC to John and Maude Ross.

The son of a CPR employee, he grew up with steam locomotives at his back door and the splendour of BC’s wilderness as his playground at Malakwa, Ross Peak and Three Valley. He attended school in Three Valley and Revelstoke; a keen learner, who excelled in Physics, he was also active in sports and was a member of the Rocky Mtn. Rangers and the Revelstoke High School Cadet Corps, where he reached the rank of Sgt. Major. After graduation he served in the RCAF, not as a pilot (eye glasses), as was his wish but, as a radio technician – which he later said was probably a good thing – in Aston Downs, England; and Hamburg, Germany, where he readily picked up the language. After the war he attended UBC to study Physics, German and the arts. While boarding with his brother John, it was our good fortune that he met his beautiful fellow boarder, our mother, whom he married on May 21, 1948. He eventually settled into the auto insurance business as a casualty adjuster and was able to buy the first of several family homes in Burnaby.

Dad imbued us all with his love and appreciation of the outdoors by regaling us with stories of his adventures in places such as Frog Creek and Crazy what seemed to us to be a pretty idyllic childhood in some sort of Creek –- inin what andthen thenbybytaking takingusustotomany manyofofthe thevery very¬same same places wilderness paradise -–and to camp and fish, as well as sharing many new experiences on frequently long and arduous road trips, sometimes fraught with unexpected and characterbuilding adventures. He was always a strong supporter of our extra-curricular activities, whether it was sports, Girl Guides/Brownies, Cubs/Scouts or Cadets.

He was often directly involved or cheering enthusiastically from the sidelines.

He had an unending thirst for knowledge and was a voracious reader of classic literature and world history. He was a loving and doting grandfather and generously supported his grand-children in furthering their education. memorialservice servicewillwillbe be on January 2011 at the A memorial heldheld at 2 at pm2onpm January 16, 201116,at the Columbia Columbia Bowell Funeral Chapel at 219 - 6thWestminster.

Serenity for 2011

What’s in store for each of us this year? Some of you will be excited by the prospect of new projects and opportunities, while others may be fearful of what the year holds. If you are concerned and anxious about the year ahead, perhaps this adaptation of the Serenity Prayer will encourage you: Gregg Taylor God grant me the serenity . . . meaning that I no longer recoil from the past, or worry about the unknown future. I seek regular times to re-create myself and avoid those times of stress and depletion which make me vulnerable to despair and to old self-destructive thoughts.

To accept the things I cannot change . . . that I not cause suffering for myself by clinging to that which no longer exists. All that I can count on for sure is how I respond to the transforming cycles and passages in my life.

To change the things I can . . . which means remembering that to give up my attempts to control outcomes does not require that I give up my boundaries or my best efforts. It does mean making my most honest appraisal of the lengths and limits of what I can do, and take action where and when I can.

And the wisdom to know the difference . . . wisdom becomes the never forgotten recognition of all those times when there seemed to be no way out, and new paths opened up like miracles in my life.

May you face the New Year with optimism – a realistic optimism that acknowledges the uncertainties and challenges of life, while trusting that with calm, poise and trust, the support of friends/family, your skills, knowledge, experiences and faith, you will overcome any obstacles and live life to the fullest.

Happy New Year

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Remain ambitious to Wednesday – last-minute advances (especially Sunday and Wednesday) can be strong ones. You might have to struggle with foundational, home or family issues, though. The government, head office or an institution could offer splendid help Wednesday.

(Take power naps Monday/Tuesday.) A month of social joys, friends, entertainment, flirtation (that can build to deep love) optimism and joie de vivre begins Thursday! And four months of great good luck starts Saturday, in love, travel, law, education. You’re on a roll! But settle into chores Friday eve, Saturday.

Taurus April 20-May 20: A long, mellow period draws to a close. You might face – but more likely your close friends, associates face – a pulling apart between key people Monday/Tuesday. (E.g., your friends split up.) This is mostly gradual, deep: but look for clues, and seek early “accommodations,” as this is a decade-long trend. You might have to choose between love and casual friendship. Rest, tend to home matters Wednesday eve to Friday morn.

A month of ambition begins Thursday (but first rest, to Friday). Romance, pleasure visit Friday eve, Saturday.

Saturday to June 4, “head office” is your friend.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Continue to chase facts/secrets, investments and sensual desires to Wednesday noon. You energy’s high Sunday. Buy nothing (nor invest) Monday nor Tuesday before 5 p.m. (PST). Thursday begins a month of gentle love, understanding, legal solutions, far travel, higher education or intellectual pursuits and publishing.

Be curious Wednesday to Friday, ask questions.

Friday eve and Saturday bring rest, domestic affairs, quietude. But Saturday also starts four months of social expansion, new friends, flirtations, wish fulfilment and happiness! And these four months kick off another 92!

Cancer June 21-July 22: A long month of opportunity and opposition ends Thursday. You probably feel you didn’t accomplish much, as this period began in confusion. But you have Sunday (planning) and Monday to Wednesday (action) to grab some last chance(s). Remember, independence, no; interdependence, yes – for now. Thursday begins a month of secrets, research (detective work) large finances, investments, lifestyle, health and sexual changes and commitments. And Saturday kicks off a period, through early June, of tremendous career and prestige benefits – both trends (change and career luck) combine soon!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Sunday’s happy, optimistic, friendly. But heavy chores still weigh on you through Wednesday. Just plunge in, get ’em done. DON’T start a new work project Monday or before 5 p.m. Tuesday.

A month of fresh horizons (and emotional fresh air) arrives Wednesday night. You’ll experience opposition and opportunity – both intense. So be diplomatic yet eager. Saturday begins a four-month phase of great luck in far travel, higher education, publishing, legal affairs, cultural venues and love. You might fall in love and marry – swiftly! Focus on money, spending, earning Saturday.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Be ambitious Sunday, or mingle with higher-ups. A month of romance and creativity draws to a close by midweek. Take care with friends, hopes, plans Monday to Tuesday suppertime – pursue all these afterward. Retreat, rest and contemplate your future Wednesday afternoon to Friday morning. Despite your uncertainty about job performance/stability, all looks fine. You begin a month of work and health issues Thursday. More importantly, you enter a four-month phase of great luck in investments, sexual liaisons, life changes and commitments, Saturday. (A clue Wednesday eve.)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Sunday’s wise, mellow.

Your ambition surges Monday to Wednesday, but take care with this Monday. Tuesday has obstacles to overcome (involving home or career foundations) but you can succeed – especially after supper and into Wednesday lunchtime. Thursday brings a month of celebration, optimism, flirtation, entertainment and social joys! Even better, Saturday starts a four-month phase of lucky opportunities, especially in marriage, love and relocation. Enjoy yourself WednesdayFriday, but Friday eve and this weekend, retreat, rest and contemplate: significant times loom!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: A restless, social month is ending. Thursday starts four weeks of quiet contemplation, physical sluggishness and domestic affairs. Sink into these, rest and refresh your soul, as February to June will bring a huge pile of work.

Sunday’s mysterious; you might sense someone’s secret. This is a good, stable day to invest, work out a budget, or hold a private conversation. Monday to Wednesday is mellow,but holds barriers and problems before 5 p.m. (PST) Tuesday – and succeeds after that, especially in legal, educational and romantic arenas. Be ambitious Wednesday eve to Friday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: You can find out where you stand with a crucial person Sunday.

Financial and sexual obstacles arise Monday to dusk Tuesday; solutions appear after this, through Wednesday mid-day. A mellow, understanding mood steals over you Wednesday eve to Friday – love, intellectual pursuits thrive. Thursday starts a month of travel and communications, errands, emails, details, paperwork. More exciting, Saturday begins four months of great luck in romance, creative projects, far travel, with children and speculative projects. You’ll be offered happiness! Be ambitious Friday eve, Saturday.

Jan. 16 - Jan. 22 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Tackle chores Sunday: pick the ones that will free you for more ambitious projects later. Relationships confront you Monday to Wednesday. These contain some opposition and frustrations through twilight Tuesday, then generate healing, solutions – and love – after that.

Chase mysteries Wednesday eve to Friday morning – research, invest, study lifestyle changes, get your health diagnosed. Thursday’s fortunate. This day begins a month of money – buy, sell, seek more lucrative clients. Saturday begins a four-month stretch of great luck in real estate, home, family and security issues.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Romance – of a quiet, stable kind – or kids or creative pleasures – call Sunday. Be careful with chores Monday to Tuesday twilight. The danger: wasted effort. Tasks speed swiftly to conclusions Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Thursday ends a month of weariness, solitude and obligations, as it starts four weeks of surging energy, heightened charisma and effective action! Start important projects soon, ask favours, show yourself off! (But first be diplomatic Thursday/Friday, and “sense secrets” Friday/Saturday.) Saturday begins four months of travel, talk and much paperwork.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Spend Sunday at home or in nature – all is restful, steady, quietly inspiring. Take care with romance, creative projects and gambles Monday to Tuesday dusk – these are fine, even lucky, then to Wednesday mid-day. (An 18-month “dead end” in romantic and creative zones ends this March.)

Thursday begins a month of obligations, lowered energy and dealings with “head office.” Now to late February, rest, be charitable, contemplate and make plans for the future. Work smart, not hard. Saturday starts a four-month period of money luck – maybe big money luck! All things weave together. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
