◗ HERITAGE HOME

Council narrowly OK’s reno

Feathered friends: Haydn, left, and Infinity Perry in the coop with their chickens at their family’s Sapperton home.

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster city council was split on a resident’s application to make changes to a designated heritage house in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood.

The owners of 217 Fourth Ave. applied to add 1,050 square feet to the rear of the house and to move the house 17.5 feet forward and three feet to the east, and to raise it one foot. The house was the childhood home of Joe Plaskett, an artist after whom the gallery at Massey Theatre is named.

Prior to city council’s consideration of the application, the city’s community heritage commission heard that the changes would bring the home in line with the new house that’s been built to the east, will create a private backyard and will allow for a basement.

The majority of the community heritage commission, however, opposed the changes, saying it goes against the reason for designating the home as a heritage property and against the history of its home and well-known owners.

In a 4-3 vote, council directed staff to issue a heritage alteration permit.

Mayor Wayne Wright and councillors Betty McIntosh, Bob Osterman and Lorrie Williams supported the motion, while councillors Jonathan Cote, Bill Harper and Jaimie McEvoy opposed it.

McIntosh believes the city must make it possible for homeowners to make changes that ensure their homes continue to be livable.

She said the homeowners have also sought permission to move their home closer to the front property line, in order to address issues since a new home was built next door.

Council unanimously approved a motion to have staff prepare a report outlining all options that are available for protecting heritage homes and properties in the city, and a motion to review the community heritage commission’s role in heritage alteration permits.

Council also directed staff to arrange for a presentation from Heritage B.C. to address issues raised during the discussion about 217 Fourth Ave.

No ruffled feathers here

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

There’s been a lot of squawking about the City of Vancouver’s plan to allow residents to keep chickens in their backyards, but hens quietly go about their business with little fanfare in the Royal City.

Vancouver city council recently endorsed a staff report that would allow residents to keep up to four chickens in their backyards.

One of the more controversial aspects of the plan is Vancouver’s proposal to spend $20,000 to create a homeless shelter for abandoned chickens.

Keith Coueffin, the City of New Westminster’s manager of licensing and integrated services, said the city hasn’t had any need for such a facility.

“Our current regulations for keeping of chickens is very liberal,” he said. “We have permitted the keeping of chickens for many, many years.”

The City of New Westminster allows homeowners to keep up to six chickens on a residential property, provided the property is a minimum of 6,000 square feet.

“If it is less, pursuant to the bylaw, it does not allow them,” Coueffin said. “However, we are in the process of studying what is happening in other communities.”

Council has asked staff to report on the issue of chicken keeping in the city to determine if any bylaw refinements are required.

Coueffin said the city doesn’t enforce chicken keeping at residences where it’s not causing any problems, and if the residents are

honouring the intent of the bylaw by taking steps to prevent rat infestations, nuisances and unsightly conditions. As an example, he said the bylaw wouldn’t be enforced if chickens were being kept on a property a little bit less than 6,000 square feet, but no problems were being reported.

Coueffin said city hall received complaints last year about one property where chickens were being kept without a closure.

“They were running wild around the lawn,” he said. “Scraps were being thrown into the yard.”

Coueffin said that matter was addressed promptly.

“We typically deal with one or two situations per year,” he said about complaints.

“We have had a number of inquiries where people are thinking of keeping chickens.”

When city hall receives those inquiries, staff inform residents about how to keep the chickens in a way that doesn’t create problems.

“The biggest problem we have found is rats,” Coueffin said. “A chicken coop can quickly become a rat factory.”

If the coop is designed in a way that allows entry to rats, the coop provides shelter and the chicken feed offers an unlimited food supply. Most people are unaware that chicken coops can lead to rat infestations.

“They can reproduce extremely quickly,” Coueffin said. “We do give people guidance how they can control rodents.”

Coueffin said it’s hard to know how many residents keep chickens in their yards because city hall only hears about cases that are caus-

ing complaints. Complaints are rare.

“I would think it is quite a small number,” he said.

In March 2008, Sapperton resident Dan Perry appealed to council for assistance after receiving an order from the city to remove the chickens from the yard of his East Eighth Avenue home. He ran afoul of city bylaws because his property was less than 6,000 square feet.

“They are working out great for me,” he said of his four chickens. “I have had no issues with the city since then.”

Perry became interested in the idea of raising chickens after reading a blog by a man who lived on about $40 a month, in small part by growing potatoes and raising chickens for their eggs and meat.

“The four pretty much lay one egg every two days, often every day,” he said. “At our peak production, we had 36 eggs a month from six chickens.”

While the family’s chickens have generated no complaints to city hall, Perry said a lot of parents from the local school are curious about chicken keeping and ask him about it and city requirements.

Perry’s kids love the chickens, often bringing them inside for people to hold when they have friends over.

“They love collecting eggs,” he added.

Perry supports the City of Vancouver’s plan to allow chickens.

“I think it is absolutely a good thing,” he said. “I think they should allow bit more than four chickens and be allowed to have chicks as well. It is definitely a good first step.”

A different kind of Coke

A 26-year-old Burnaby resident should have stayed with the real thing in his bottle of Coca-Cola.

At 7:30 a.m. on April 22, the Burnaby man was pulled over for a routine traffic stop in the 900 block of Third Avenue in New Westminster.

As the New Westminster Police Service officer engaged the driver in conversation, the smell of marijuana led to the motorist’s arrest for possession of a controlled sub-

stance.

Upon further investigation of the vehicle, a large amount of cash and a half-full bottle of Coca-Cola were also seized.

But the bottle didn’t just contain soda pop, as the police discovered the bottle had a false bottom that contained a baggie with crack cocaine in it.

The man now faces an additional charge of possession of a narcotic for the purpose of trafficking.

Cote: ‘Always been an emotional item’ ◗ continued from page 1

negatives.”

Wright also expressed concerns about the costs to the city of retaining the tower.

Councillors Betty McIntosh and Bob Osterman also supported the staff recommendation, while councillors Jonathan Cote, Bill Harper, Jaimie McEvoy and Lorrie Williams voted in favour of keeping the tower.

“It’s always been an emotional and difficult item to deal with for a number of reasons. The majority of council decided to keep the tower,” Cote said. “At this point, the direction is to focus on keeping it possibly as a ruin. We have left it open for possible reuse of the building.”

Lucille Ayers, secretary of Family Link Society, expressed shock that council would vote against the wishes of 95 per cent of the people who participated in the consultation process and expressed support for demolishing the tower.

“We just can’t express how we feel about this particular result,” she said. “I can’t believe the arrogance of the council who voted to keep that part of the Centre Block intact.”

Ayers said the decision shows that the wishes of people who participated in the consultation process are “inconsequential” to city council.

“Their feelings are so raw,” she said.

“They can’t even stand to look at it. I don’t understand the logic to say, we know better. It seems so disrespectful.”

Jackie Maniago, a director with the Family Link Society, said many former residents can’t even pass by the Woodlands site without experiencing trauma.

“There will be an uprising about it,” she said about council’s decision. “I am hoping that there will be. I believe there should be.”

Osterman said it bothers him that the city paid $25,000 for an in-depth consultant’s report and ignored its input, as well as a staff recommendation and public input.

Harper supported retention of the tower because of social and heritage concerns.

“Any of those kinds of ruins have a significant place in our history,” he said.

“I have stood by the dome in Hiroshima.

I felt a huge emotional and educational value in being able to do that. It allows for people to really be able to reflect on what happened there.”

While progress has been made regard-

ing the integration of people with special needs into schools and the community, Harper said there’s still progress to be made in the area of inclusion.

“That battle is not over,” he said.

“Leaving a ruin that reminds us of the kind of discrimination that took place … has value.”

Harper said the tower is among the oldest buildings still standing in the city so it has heritage value. If the rest of the Centre Block hadn’t been destroyed by fire, he said restoration of the whole building would have occurred.

After a fire gutted the building in the summer of 2009, only the tower portion of the Centre Block was left standing. City staff embarked on a public consultation process last fall to get input into three scenarios: retain the tower as a ruin; create a community or reflective garden at the tower site; or adapt the tower for a use that benefits former Woodlands’ residents and/or the community.

City staff met with more than 150 stakeholders including heritage advocates, Victoria Hill neighbours and former residents, family members and advocates.

Although some people indicated they’d like the tower to be saved because of its heritage merit, many urged council to demolish a building they said housed terrible memories of abuse for some former residents.

“It is a very difficult decision,” Harper said. “The survivors want it demolished.

They want it out of their memories. My opinion is you can’t take it out of your memory.”

Cote said the Centre Block tower has heritage merit and contains some unique architecture.

“There’s no doubt it’s had a sad and difficult history,” he said. “It is still part of New Westminster’s history.”

If it’s determined that the tower should be reused, Cote said it would have to be for an appropriate and respectful use.

He noted the city has moved away from the idea of have a commercial use at the Centre Block site.

When Woodlands closed, the City of New Westminster and the B.C. Buildings Corporation developed a master plan for the site.

Onni, which later purchased the site, continues to work with city staff regarding the creation of a “community village node” in the space around the Center Block.

Alert officer recovers stolen property

BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com

Two Burnaby residents are facing charges of possession of stolen property and possession of break-and-enter instruments after the alert work of a New Westminster Police Service constable.

According to a press release from Sgt. Gary Weishaar, on April 4, just after 2 p.m., Const. Justine Thom was on routine patrol in the unit block of East Columbia Street when she noticed a blue Ford Ranger without a front licence plate fail to signal during a lane change.

As Thom tried to pull the truck over, the car turned of on a side street to avoid the marked police car.

Thom continued following the car over the Pattullo Bridge into Surrey and pulled the truck over just off the King George Highway.

The press release says the male driver and female passenger were cooperative in providing their identification and the vehicle’s registration papers.

But Thom and her partner noticed a safe with a punched-out tumbler sitting in the bed of the pickup truck.

After a further search, the police dis-

the details still needs to be worked on. We have made a decision in principle that this is our principle and our goal.

“At this point, we don’t know for sure how many people it will affect,” he said.

McEvoy said New Westminster is a small city of 66,000 people so the policy has to be something that’s manageable and is something that people can understand.

Coun. Jonathan Cote said the city’s unionized workers already make more than a living wage.

“There’s not a lot. There’s a few,” he said about people who work on contract at city facilities and would be impacted by the policy. “It’s not a significant number.”

Coun. Bill Harper said there’s a huge movement in Europe and the United States to support living wages, and it’s now starting to come to Canada.

“It’s a message to other private and public employees that there is a real advantage to them as employees, and to the people who are in poverty and having difficulty making ends meet,” he said.

McEvoy noted that Greater Vancouver is one of the most expensive places in Canada to live. He said one-half of the city’s residents are renters, and many are struggling to meet their daily needs.

“Kids who are poor aren’t in charge of their own situations,” he said. “One-half of the kids who live below the poverty line have one parent who works full-time.”

In recent months, several residents have appeared before city council asking the city to support a living wage policy. ACORN Canada – the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now – has also urged the city to take a leadership role and adopt a living wage policy, and it held a forum that was attended by about 80 people.

According to ACORN, Canadian cities considering living wage policies include Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Waterloo and London. The group says a living wage policy brings benefits, including workers spending more money locally and businesses having less turnover and more productivity.

covered tools that are commonly used in criminal activity, such as gloves, balaclavas, two-way radios, pry bars, saws, sledge hammers, a replica handgun and pepper spray.

The police also recovered items that were linked to recent break-and-enters in Surrey and Chilliwack.

A 44-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman, both from Burnaby, were taken into police custody.

And Vancouver? gages and lower prices on city homes, Forget it. For $500,000, you’ll be lucky but the reality is that New Westminster to get a decent townhouse in a not-soreal estate right now is a pretty good decent neighbourhood. deal.

OUR VIEW

Yes, half a million dollars seems like an incredible amount – but we’ve long thought that New Westminster real estate was undervalued.

And now that the city’s downtown area is (finally) undergoing a true revitalization, and neighbourhoods such as Sapperton and the West End are following Queen’s Park’s example and increasing their curb appeal, we think that prices will continue to rise in the city.

New Westminster was once compared to San Francisco, for good reason: The

wide boulevards, grand estates, cobblestone streets, proximity to water and a certain – how shall we say it? – flair makes the comparison inevitable.

But where San Fran capitalized on all of its attributes, New Westminster let hers go to pot.

But even old cities get second chances, and the Royal City is clearly getting a second – if not third – chance.

We say it’s about time. And if you can afford a chunk of it, then it’s a wise investment.

he B.C. Liberal government’s announcement that the Site C dam project on the Peace River would go to the next stage of the approval process may have revealed a subtle yet important shift in how people – and the media – perceive our two major political parties.

Aside from the predictable reaction – environmentalists oppose Site C while the business community endorsed it – what was most interesting was how quickly the story faded from the so-called “news cycle.”

The B.C. Liberals, mired in unpopularity, appear to have a severely weakened ability to set and control the agenda. The government hasn’t really come up with many new ideas and policies (other than the dreaded HST) since the election, and a lack of revenue shackles any kind of spending spree.

The Site C announcement was almost a one-day story for most news outlets, and even the environmental lobbyists didn’t sound overly agitated about the issue.

I wonder how much of this

2007 WINNER

reaction is linked to the impression that so many people appear to have: that Premier Gordon Campbell and probably his party as well are stuck so low in the polls that there is little prospect for recovery.

Therefore, it’s hard to take seriously any promise about a project (such as Site C) that is so far in the future that a completely different party will be in charge by the time construction actually begins.

In fact, I get the feeling that many people simply have stopped listening to the B.C. Liberals and have effectively tuned them out. I’ve always said a government in significant decline is no longer given the benefit of the doubt by the public it purports to serve, and therefore its recovery is made that much more difficult.

When that mindset takes hold, governments pay dearly.

We saw that with the Social Credit party in 1991 and the NDP in 2001, and we may be witnessing it now with the B.C. Liberals.

These kinds of attitudes may explain why Campbell and his government got absolutely no bounce in the polls in the aftermath of the gloriously successful Olympic Winter Games, which electrified the public.

I realize the next election is still three years away, which admittedly is a very long time

Dear Editor:

The article, Parents warned about man lurking near school, appearing in the April 21st edition of The Record left me quite perplexed.

The school superintendent’s letter to parents about this man indicated: “A young, non-Caucasian male …” Further into the article, an exceptionally good description of this man’s clothing, haircut and car was given – right down to the fact that he had sunglasses placed on top of his head.

Please tell me why, with such a strong description, this man’s skin colour was not articulated?

Especially with such a serious safety concern that this man poses, naming his skin colour would ultimately provide valuable information in identifying him should he continue to “lurk” around schools.

We know he was not “white” – so what colour ◗Victoria Page 7 was he – brown, black, yellow, red? This is yet

one more example of the ridiculous insanity that is called political correctness and why it must be eliminated.

It is not a “crime” to name a colour – our skin colours are a fact of life. If the superintendent is bound by some asinine politically correct school policy that forbids naming of skin colours, why not then refer to this suspicious man according to his appearance – Asian, Native, Latino and so on?

And afterward, let’s continue to speak out against political correctness. It’s gone way too far already.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mismanagement a problem ◗ continued from page 6

Susan Wandell’s recent letter “HST getting bad rap” should read “taxpayers on bad end of rap.” She mentions the $1.6-billion dollar “bribe” to be received from the federal government that would be useful to fund education and health – we have no guarantee that it will be used for those purposes, and we must remember this is a one-time payment only.

She also mentions a $1,600 (net) increase in the provincial tax credit, a new homeowner rebate and a refundable HST credit.

Well, where do we think that money is coming from? It isn’t really Christmas, it’s the taxpayer’s money to begin with.

I believe the real problem is the B.C. government’s financial mismanagement.

As one simple example, in the last election they told the electorate the deficit was $495 million, only to be corrected after the election to more than $2.8 billion. So, who’s kidding who?

Danger: teens crossing

Dear Editor:

Re: Students hit while jaywalking, The Record, April 24.

As aggravating as it is of the students jaywalking across Eighth Avenue, and at times a flood of them at lunch time, I always remind myself of the fact they care not of the legalities of their actions, only that they cross the road at the shortest

point.

And, yes, at times I curse under my breath and wish their parents were here right now, but I remember being that age, where the realities of life were not high on my radar.

So, I just watch out for them, and hide my jealousy, again.

Geoff Porteous, New Westminster

A heartfelt thank you Dear Editor:

On behalf of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. and Yukon’s Richmond/Delta/New Westminster area office, I would like to take this opportunity to offer heartfelt thanks to the people of New Westminster for their continuing support of the foundation during Heart Month.

In February, volunteers in our communities of Richmond, Delta and New Westminster put their hearts into it and raised more than $119,000 for vital heart and stroke research, surpassing our 2010 goal.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. and Yukon has invested more than $200 million in cardiovascular research and public education to save lives.

Since 1955, the foundation has helped reduce the death rate from cardiovascular disease by 70 per cent. This is what happens when you put your heart into it!

in politics. However, the Socreds were dead in the water well before the vote in 1991, and the NDP was on life support even before the RCMP raided then-premier Glen Clark’s home in the spring of 1999.

In each case, both parties chose new leaders and put the election call off as long as possible, but their demise was sealed.

And so the B.C. Liberals will also play for time and may well end up choosing a new leader – one that is clearly different, and in so doing regain the public’s attention and confidence.

In the meantime, however, pressure will gradually build on the New Democratic Party to provide some clear, specific alternatives to B.C. Liberal policies.

like tendency to demand that money get thrown at pretty much everything, New Democrats have avoided being pinned down on any particular issue.

The party’s energy critic, John Horgan, took a tentative stab at defining the NDP’s position on Site C (the party is opposed to it but is willing to be persuaded to back it if specific concerns are met). As murky as that position is, it is one of the more specific positions the NDP has taken on anything.

The party is unclear, for example, what exactly it would do with the HST. New Democrats may be signing the anti-HST petition in droves, but, if they take power in 2013, there is no indication they would do anything with the HST itself. But eventu-

ally, as much as people may have tuned out the B.C. Liberals, they will begin demanding to hear something from the NDP. Party leader Carole James, who has taken a low profile in recent months, will be pressured to come up with some ideas of her own.

The NDP is currently obeying the old political adage that says if a government is falling, the Opposition simply has to get out of the way.

At some point, however, the Opposition has to show it’s ready to govern. People are going to start looking at the NDP seriously, especially if the B.C. Liberals keep drifting along ever closer to that cliff.

Carpentry program coming?

New apprenticeship program under consideration at NWSS

High school students who are interested in a career in carpentry could get a head start.

The New Westminster school district is exploring the possibility of implementing an ACE-IT apprenticeship carpentry program for senior students next year at New Westminster Secondary School.

The ACE-IT program enables

students to take time during their school schedule to focus on a trade, with credit counting towards their certification training should they choose to pursue it after high school. ACE-IT programs are developed and offered as partnerships between school districts and postsecondary institutions. Classes are often taught at colleges.

Students who receive training through the ACE-IT program are able to “fast-track” their careers, said Karen Crosby, a career programs coordinator at New Westminster

Secondary School.

The secondary school currently offer trades training in plumbing, hairdressing, metal fabrication, millwright training, automotive refinishing technician training, truck and trade transport mechanic training and motorcycle maintenance.

The school district and the Industry Training Authority – a government organization that governs apprenticeships in the province – fund ACE-IT programs. nhope@royalcityrecord.com

District honours fallen workers Schools in New Westminster will fly flags at half-mast today to honour workers whose lives have been lost, injured or disabled on the job.

It’s school district policy to honour the National Day of Mourning, held annually on April 28.

The federal government officially recognized the Day of Mourning in 1991, eight years after the Canadian Labour Congress launched a day of remembrance.

The Day of Mourning has since spread to 80 countries throughout the world.

In 2009, 121 workers lost their lives to workplace injury and disease in British Columbia, states a B.C. Federation of Labour press release. nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Plaza 88 bus loop behind schedule

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Construction of the new transit exchange at the Plaza 88 development is running behind schedule.

Six transit routes and their transit stops were displaced from the McNeely transit exchange at the New Westminster SkyTrain station in September 2008 in order to accommodate construction of the Plaza 88 development. Those buses have been parking on Eighth, Columbia and Alexander streets.

Agreements between the city and the developer state that the planned transit exchange is to be complete by February 2011, at which time the buses would return to the exchange. The developer, however, has informed the city that construction is delayed and the transit exchange isn’t going to be finished until late 2011 or early 2012.

In addition, Plaza 88 has asked for a temporary closure of its Columbia Street frontage starting in May 2010 in order to accommodate construction of some of its retail development.

This will affect the No. 112 bus that currently stops on

Columbia Street between McNeely and Eighth streets.

Complicating the situation further, the city plans to start construction of its multi-use civic facility at Eighth and Columbia streets in early 2011.

Transit services are being relocated to Carnarvon Street. The developer will pay for costs related to the installation of bus zone signage, reinstatement of parking meters, crosswalk changes on Carnarvon Street and removal on Eighth Street, and any lost parking meter revenues.

Youth centre

A number of upgrades are taking place to Century House as part of the youth centre construction project that’s underway at the rear of the building.

A new washroom is also being built near the Moody Park playground, replacing the public washrooms in the basement of Century House. Members of city council toured the site on April 12 and were pleased with the progress.

Coun. Betty McIntosh said representatives of TASK Construction Management indicated

they knew of no other place where youth and seniors services are being accommodated together in one facility.

The comedy club is seeking to transfer its liquor licence from its current location at 401 Columbia St. to its future home at the Burr Theatre at 530 Columbia St. A preliminary report to council states that Lafflines’ current liquor licence allows a maximum occupant load of 220 people. With the transfer to the Burr, Lafflines wants to reduce that to 110.

“The applicant will be applying for the hours of sale of liquor to coincide with the maximum operating hours of the business, which will be 9 a.m. to 2 a.m.,” a city staff report says.

In addition to a liquor primary licence, the applicant will be applying for a food primary licence.

City women in running for YWCA awards Four women who either live or work in New West have been nominated for prestigious awards

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Several women with connections to the Royal City are nominated for YWCA Vancouver Women of Distinction Awards.

YWCA Vancouver has announced that two New Westminster residents have been nominated for the Women of Distinction Award.

Amber Anderson, executive director and head chef/head instructor at HAVE Culinary Training Society, is nominated in the Community Building category. Anderson, who has achieved the highest professional culinary recognition in Canada, has used her love of cooking and compassion for those less fortunate in the HAVE culinary training program in the Downtown Eastside.

“Working in the Downtown Eastside has allowed me to see both the benefits of providing shelter for women as well as the hardships created when women are homeless,” she said in a press release. “The work that the YWCA does to place women and chil-

dren in safe and affordable housing pays enormous dividends to the assisted families, as well as to the community.”

Sandra Menzer, executive director of the Vancouver Society of Children’s Centres, is nominated in the Non-Profit and Public Service category. Through the organization, one of Canada’s largest child-care providers, she has helped develop innovative partnerships that not only improve child-care services but also integrate health, recreation and family services.

Renee Chadwick, manager of the Queensborough Community Centre, is nominated in the Community Building category.

She’s active on various fronts in Port Coquitlam.

Janice Abbott, chief executive officer of Atira Women’s Resource Society, is nominated in the NonProfit and Public Service category.

The society, dedicated to helping women and children, offers programs and operates more than 1,200 beds in the Lower Mainland – including the Holbrook Block, a 23-unit housing program in New Westminster for women who are homeless or are at risk of homelessness.

YWCA Vancouver has also announced a new online category where the public is invited to cast votes for their favourite woman of distinction. The Connecting the

Community award will be given to the nominee with the most online votes, and Scotiabank will donate $10,000 to the YWCA program area of her choice.

To vote, visit www.ywca van.org/vote. Recipients will be announced on June 1 during a gala reception at the Westin Bayshore.

The Women of Distinction Awards began in 1984 to honour, encourage and recognize women whose outstanding achievements contribute to the health and future of the community.

Since then, YWCA Vancouver has honoured more than 200 deserving women and workplaces.

Admission is $5 and a potluck is to share.

Wendie McRae, a New Westminster resident who was involved in Vagabond in the 1980s and 1990s, is helping to organize the event.

“We are hoping to have around 100 people,” she said. “If more show up, that’s great. If less come, we’ll still have a party.”

Wendie said all current and former members of Vagabond are invited to attend.

“There’s a lot of us scattered all over,” she said. “We even have someone coming from the Okanagan.”

The reunion, which runs from 5:30 p.m. to midnight, includes a cash wine bar, entertainment and dancing. All proceeds will be donated to the theatre.

Plant sale offers abundance

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Horticultural Society’s annual plant sale continues to grow and flourish.

The society is holding its annual plant sale on Sunday, May 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Royal Westminster Regiment Armoury. The event is the club’s major fundraiser.

Carole Forsythe, a member of the society, said each year’s sale includes something different. The event features thousands of popular and unusual plants.

“We have perennials, bedding plants and basket stuffers grown from seed, an array of edibles including a large variety of tomato seedlings, hanging baskets, shrubs and over 75 roses,” said Sharon Seki, plant sale chairperson. “All our plants are donated by members and friends.”

Plants are delivered to a central location, where they were divided and potted on a daily basis from early March until the middle of April.

“From then to sale day, each plant is carefully groomed to ensure it is healthy,” Seki said. “Those that are not up to par are culled.”

The warm period during the Winter

Olympics in February helped speed up the whether it’s tagging plants, helping at the growth of some of the plants to be sold at sale, or growing plants for the sale.

“It’s nice if you have never gardened this year’s sale. It’s also helped make it a bit easier to organize the event because the before, people will take you around and say, this you can’t kill. They will be your personplant materials were ready in advance.

The Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine, located at the Columbia SkyTrain station, is Western Canada’s only accredited naturopathic medicine school and home to the largest public naturopathic clinic in B.C.

Friends help out

The Group of Five (and Friends) has set its sights on a new fundraiser and a new piece of equipment for Royal Columbian Hospital.

The group, which consists of Mary Lou Chesman, Shirley Piper, Alana McIntyre, Marion Osterman, Jennifer Peyton, Helen Bodner and Gerda Suess, is holding a fundraising luncheon to buy equipment for Royal Columbian Hospital.

The May 14 luncheon is being held at the Old Bavaria Haus, 233 Sixth St., from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We have decided we would go with a garden theme,” Shirley said.

“What you are going to

get for your $25 is a threecourse garden luncheon.”

In addition to a springthemed lunch, people will also be able to purchase containers with plants, garden accessories, picnic baskets and gift baskets with a garden theme – with everything priced at $20. A garden specialist will be on hand to answer horticulture questions and bedding plants will also be sold.

“There is going to be some really wonderful things,” Shirley said. “We are always trying to raise money. We have a couple of priorities. We try to keep it really, really reasonable.”

The Group of Five (and Friends) is working to buy a “pressure monitor” which is a device that helps monitor how much pressure blood is putting on a muscle and can be used by various departments at the hospital.

The group purchased the device from Stryker Canada.

“They have been phenomenally generous. They have taken off over onethird,” she said, noting the group has purchased a gurney and a drill for Royal Columbian Hospital

from the company in the past. “They have been very, very good to us.”

The Group of Five formed to raise funds to purchase items for Royal Columbian Hospital that were needed, but not being funded. The group tries to come up with new fundraising ideas.

Some local residents are asking for a repeat of last year’s tie and pashmina fundraiser, which saw the group selling Italian-made items for $20 each. The group hopes to offer that event again next year.

East meets West in Saturday concert THE LIVELY CITY JULIE MACLELLAN

E

astern music traditions meet Western in a Saturday night concert at Douglas College.

The East Meets West concert, hosted by Douglas College and North Star Performing Arts Management, will feature a mix of Western opera and traditional Chinese folk songs.

The performance will include selections from well-known operas, including La Bohème and The Magic Flute.

The eight performers are six Canadians and two Americans, only one of whom speaks Chinese.

They were able to learn the traditional folks songs with the help of Chinesespeaking coaches.

“They caught on really fast, and their pronunciation is quite good,” said Monica Xu, of the Douglas College Centre for International Education, in a press release. “Because they’re traditional opera singers, they are used to

singing in other languages, like Italian and French, so they had the language skills already.”

Joan Yang of North Star Performing Arts Management said the idea for the concert was inspired by the growing popularity of Western opera in China.

“We realized the locals here would want to learn about Chinese music too,” she said. “It really is a chance for east to meet west.”

The concert is set for 7 p.m. on May 1 in the Laura C. Muir Performing Arts Theatre at Douglas College, 700 Royal Ave.

For tickets, call Monica Xu at 604-527-5842 or email xuj@douglas.bc.ca.

Latin, reggae and rumba music fuse into the lively sounds of the Rio Samaya Band, which takes to the stage at the Heritage Grill on Thursday, May 6.

Rio Samaya – formerly Pancho and Sal – will perform songs and poetry, with a multitude of instruments including guitar, bombo, charango, quena and accordion. (And, for those who, like me, had no idea what a few of those instruments were: a bombo is a South American drum; a charango is a small South American stringed instrument in the lute family; and the quena is a traditional flute of the Andes.

I must file these facts away for future quiz night use.)

In any case, Rio Samaya’s show sounds just delightful.

Fair connects seniors with services

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Seniors can learn about services available to them in the community – and have fun at the same time.

The In My Back Yard Fair: Connecting Seniors to Services is being held on Saturday, May 1 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Royal City Centre.

The IMBY Fair is a place where people can talk with more than 35 not-for-profit exhibitors about

health, housing, safety and others services for older adults.

In the past, fairs were held in Queensborough, Sapperton and Century House.

“We are wanting to expand the reach further into the community,” gerontologist Mariam Larson said about the new venue.

“The funding is allowing us to do one event.”

The exhibitors include a mix of those who have attended past fairs and some new groups. Fraser Health, TransLink, MOSAIC,

Winning the weed war BRANCHING OUT ANNE MARRISON

W

eeding is apt to take more gardening time than anything else – but, with many, you can be sure that you’ll never pull those particular plants again. Other weeds are nightmares that reincarnate over and over.

The white morning glory (Convovulus arvensis) is one of those that breed despair in gardeners because virtually anything you do to the top growth doesn’t touch the deep roots, which rise up and reshoot. If the morning glory crept in from a neighbour’s yard, a weed barrier at least a metre deep (deeper if possible) may succeed in controlling spread. The vines creep along on shallow roots at first but later put down deep, vertical roots reputed to plunge six metres deep and store three years food supply.

That’s why the lastresort method of covering infested areas with black

plastic should be kept in place at least three years to eradicate morning glory.

For weed control, black plastic is far more effective than landscape fabric.

It helps if you remove all the top growth and dig the surface roots before covering. When the three years are up, remove the plastic and put a thick mulch on the soil to ensure any dormant morning glory seeds can’t germinate.

Horsetail is another demon weed. This one has survived since the time of the dinosaurs and will have a good try at outwitting you too. Often it arrives in topsoil since the fine black roots are tough and hard to see. A North Shore gardener once told me she eradicated horsetail by repeated digging. It took 20 years, she added.

Clay soil gardeners have the worst time with horsetail. But it isn’t happy with dry soil, nor does it like deep shade. Black plastic mulch forces it to endure both. A less drastic solution is planting the area closely with leafy evergreens and resigning oneself to intermittent digging. Horsetail can grow up through some landscape fabrics.

The third bully in this

trio is couch (a.k.a. quack) grass. This penetrates landscape fabrics by needlepoints on its shoots – which means resorting to black plastic to clear any given area.

Shoot ends are breakable. That’s why digging always leaves a few young roots, which inevitably re-shoot. But these new plants are easily pullable when very young. Black plastic usually clears the couch grass in two years – though, if the roots have moved deeply down, it will ultimately return.

Another nasty is ground elder. But its roots are shallow, and removing them by sharp-eyed patience and/or soil sifting really does work.

Brambles also spread too much and too far but have some redeeming features.

Brambles merit mercy in small numbers on large lots because they do produce delicious fruit. Removing them becomes much easier after you’ve dug out the shallow root ball. The remaining roots sprout easily dug, bramble plants that vanish with persistent uprooting.

Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions sent to amarrison@shaw.ca.

The Future of Rotary is in the Hands of Youth

Composed by Hilda Cliffe

This year’s Rotary International theme, ‘The Future of Rotary is in the Hands of Youth’. In the past members of the Rotary Club of New Westminster have built playgrounds and a spray pool and funded many other projects.

A recent undertaking was the commitment of $10,000 towards the construction of a laundry and shower facility in the Youth Centre which is under construction adjacent to Century House. Club members and their families and friends willingly parted with their cash to enjoy a delightful 3-course dinner, wine-tasting, Silent Auction and other fun’d’ raising (50/50 and potted plants) at their “April Showers - Gala Event” held at La Rustica Restaurant recently.

One guest immediately donated her 50/50 winnings to the cause.

RYLA A group of young people, ages from 14-16 years, will be coming together from across the Province to experience four days of fellowship and Leadership Skills training in a very pleasant rural setting in South Surrey. The programme, RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership is just one of the many International programmes which both local Rotary clubs support.

EXCHANGE STUDENTS Rotary, through its Youth Exchange Programme encourages students, male and female, to broaden their horizons and thus enrich their lives. This programme offers students at the Grade 11 level or at age 16 years and in the top third of the class, the opportunity to study for an academic year and experience a different culture and education system. During their time abroad students live with Host families for a couple of months. These host families, all of which are “vetted’ to ensure the student’s safety, and which usually have children of similar age, make sure that the students experience many of the country’s best features.

INTERACT This is Rotary for 14 - 16 + year-old high school students. Here at New Westminster

Secondary School a group of 24 - 30 students are members of Interact. They elect a president and officers and are sponsored by a dedicated teacher. During its regular meetings projects are chosen. This past year, the group targeted thier fund raising efforts to support the homeless.

Successful applicants attend an orientation conference where they meet other students who are embarking on an exchange adventure. What a great opportunity this offers to our young people! The New Westminster Secondary School, its Interact Club and the two New Westminster Rotary clubs have more information and details about the Youth Exchange. Applications are being accepted and more information may be obtained by calling the phone numbers shown in the side-bar.

Supporting worthy causes, locally and overseas is paramount but opportunities for cameraderie, fun Recently, the Rotary Club of New Westminster (the noon and fund-raising are not confined hour group), made a generous donation to Ruby Campbell to luncheon meetings and golf coordinator, left) and Jan Greenhow (Pasttournaments!

A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE RECORD

Intensity key to exercise program Here is a question I get all the time: How much exercise do I need to do to see results? Sometimes I think it is because people want to know the minimum they need to do.

Let me start by saying that if you are beginning an exercise program already wanting to know the minimum required effort, you might as well go back to the couch, desk or table.

If you want to see a difference from your exercise program you need to put out a real effort. I’m pretty sure you already knew that. When was the last time you saw great results from anything when you made a half-hearted effort?

Health Canada and the American College of Sports Medicine have slightly different recommendations when it comes to exercise, but essentially they are saying the same thing.

You need to exercise for 30-60 minutes at least three to four days per week. If you can do it five to six days per week, that’s even better. My experience has shown that four days per week is enough for most people that want to lose some weight and tone up.

The key with any exercise program is consistency and intensity. Most people are missing the boat on both.

They are not doing enough exercise, and when they are doing it they are not working hard enough to see measurable results.

The majority of people will see great results by doing 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise, 20 minutes of strength training and 10 minutes of stretching.

Your 30 minutes of cardio (walking, running, biking, swimming, etc....) should be at an intensity of 60-80 per cent of your maximum heart rate.

Brushing up on toothpaste facts Do you ever wonder about the claims, ingredients and warnings on a tube of toothpaste?

FRONT:

PHOTO © AREKMALANG | DREAMSTIME.COM

Personal trainers use a mathematical formula to determine what your ideal heart rate should be during exercise.

To save you the time and headache, all you need to know is that your heart rate should be between 130 and 150 beats per minute while exercising.

(Check with your doctor before starting an exercise program.) You can take your own heart rate by feeling for a pulse on your wrist just below your thumb, with your palm facing up.

I suggest counting your beats for 30 seconds and then multiply by two to get your beats per minute.

If math is not your thing, then the intensity of your cardio would be described as moderate.

It should not be easy but you should never feel like you are going to have to stop because it is too hard.

Another way of looking at it is that you should be able to carry on a conversation, but not sing a song, while exercising.

Alternatively, you can purchase a heart rate monitor or use the one on your cardio equipment, since these monitors are standard on most new models.

What you choose to do for your cardio is up to you.

I always recommend a variety of exercises to keep things different. At the end of the day, the most important things are consistency and intensity. Get these right and you will be on your way to a fitter you.

Fluoristat: A trademark for the product’s decay-preventive ingredient, sodium fluoride.

Extra Whitening: A dubious claim, since a Consumer Reports study of 41 brands found no correlation between toothwhitening claims and actual stain-removal abilities. Even brands with peroxide did no better at lightening or removing

stains than other toothpastes.

Tartar Protection: Regular brushing, along with flossing, will help prevent the formation of tartar, as long as you use any decent toothpaste. Only a dental hygienist’s scraping removes tartar.

BACK:

Medicinal Ingredients: The Canadian Dental Association says fluoride, by strengthening tooth enamel, helps prevent cavities.

It lists toothpaste as a source of fluoride along with fluoridated water and others. The association suggests rinsing with a minimal

amount of water after using fluoridated toothpaste.

Non-Medicinal Ingredients: A mix of abrasives (hydrated silica) to remove bacteria, flavouring agents (sodium saccharine), detergents and foamers (sodium lauryl sulphate), and more.

Do Not Swallow: The Canadian Dental Association warns that excessive swallowing of toothpaste by children under six can cause fluorosis, or spotting of teeth that are still forming.

... from page 22 even though you haven’t exercised at all. This kind of pain often makes it difficult to sleep, exercise or work.

Currently, fibromyalgia medications treat only symptoms, and include painkillers, antiinflammatories, antidepressants and sleeping pills. The biggest problems with these medications is not only that they carry many long-term sideeffects, but often they don’t work, leaving thousands of patients frustrated in search of help. While rheumatologists are the most likely medical specialists to diagnose you with this conditon, the exact cause of fibromyalgia is not known.

I have been treating fibromyalgia with Traditional Chinese Medicine since 1995, and in my opinion this is the best constructive treatment.

I have had some success with a combination of

acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and reflexology.

Fibromyalgia patients usually come to my clinic with stories about lots of unsuccessful treatments. Often they have been depending on several for many years.

If successfully treated in my clinic, patients not only feel better, but are also able to go off those symptomsmasking medications soon after.

Talk to a licensed Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner near you if you have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Make sure the practitioner is experienced in this field, and chat to him or her before you make an appointment.

For more information, please visit: www. acupuncturevancouver.ca Dr. Panshi Peng, TCMD is a government-licensed practitioner of acupuncture, Dr. of Traditional Chinese Medicine, His office is located at the corner of Joyce and Kingsway. Phone: (604) 436-0660.

Don’t hide from your true self HEALTHWISE

DR. DAVIDICUS WONG

W

ho is the real you?

What do your actions say to others – and you? In recent columns, I have written about how, as parents, we influence our children more by our words and actions than our lectures. We cannot hide our true selves from our families. Nor can we believe in one thing and do the opposite in our daily work. We each ought to live lives consistent with our best values.

When we don’t, we may not like what we see.

Perhaps that’s why most of us don’t look. We continue to travel along the same path, out of habit or in reflex to what we encounter in our day-to-day lives.

When we look at our past choices or even our behaviour today, we may not like what we see. How have we treated others?

How have we allowed others to treat us? How do we treat our bodies? What does this tell us about how we respect others and how we respect ourselves?

One of the greatest human challenges is to accept our past and to forgive others for what they have done to us – to let go of that which keeps us from growing and fulfilling the promise of our individual potentials. Others may have harmed us when we were most vulnerable through their own unthinking actions, and they may regret their actions. Some have harmed us with malice and deliberation and remain unrepentant still. They carry on in their

own lives, but their actions have left their mark in our psyches. To let go of the trauma of the past in order to achieve our potential for happiness in the future requires an act of love – a deeper love of oneself.

Greater still can be the challenge of forgiving ourselves for the mistakes we have made. We are all human and imperfect. We have all made poor choices, but in the past, we did and said what we did, knowing only what we knew and being who we were at the time.

We habitually relate to others according to our old patterns. We may think of ourselves as unchanging. But we are not. One certainty in life is change – in our circumstances, in our relationships and in ourselves.Yes, you are what you do and what you say, yet you are not done; you are an evolving and unfinished work of art, and you are the artist. You may not have chosen the canvas – your past, your circumstances and the events of your life – or your paints – your talents and the resources at hand – yet you hold the brush. Let your strokes be deliberate. Let them express your true self.

No matter what has happened before, your life can still be beautiful.

It begins with a willingness to look deeply at your past and present, asking what it all says about you and what you stand for.

This requires humility and self-acceptance, but to move forward requires selfresponsibility and a recognition of your choice from this moment on. What will you do differently? How shall my actions today reflect my authentic self?

There seem to be countless people who do not know enough about them, so hopefully I can shed some light for you.

Eggplant, as mentioned above, is technically a fruit, not a vegetable. There are common characteristic differences between fruit and vegetables. Fruit is usually the product of a plant or tree and contains seeds or a pit, while vegetables are the

stalks, roots and leaves of the plants themselves.

There are many types of eggplants that are cultivated around the world.

The variety of eggplant that is most common in our markets is the pear-shaped deep purple coloured species and is appropriately named the “common eggplant.” Therefore I will focus on them specifically.

Eggplants have a spongy flesh with a mild yet sometimes bitter flavour. Many prefer to peel eggplants, however, the skin is completely edible.

When choosing one at the produce counter, make sure that the skin is unblemished and it is uniform in colour and shape. The small edible seeds that are inside the eggplants are the culprits for causing most of the bitter flavour they may have. Therefore, select one that has fewer seeds. The best way to go about doing this is by choosing a male eggplant over a female one.

Skip rope for better health KEEPING FIT

O

SHAUN KARP

nce your body becomes comfortable with the rhythm, skipping becomes a great form of exercise that is challenging, inexpensive and versatile.

Skipping is great because you can buy a good rope for around $10, and you can do it anywhere. Ideally, it is best to skip on a sprung studio floor. However, if you wear good crosstrainers and remember to keep your knees bent, you

can do it on any flat surface with good clearance, including your driveway.

It is important to adjust the rope so it is the right length for your body. Stand on your rope with both feet and hold the ends of the rope up towards your armpits. The ends of the rope should be approximately one inch below your armpit.

Once you have the length figured out, check to see if the rope is adjustable.

Many ropes have a system so you can cut it and reattach for a custom fit.

If your rope is not adjustable, you can tie a knot in it on each side just below the handles.

When skipping, remember to keep you elbows tucked by your sides,

VEHICLE SATURDAY MAY 1ST 10AM JOIN US AT

using your wrists and not your arms to turn the rope.

Try to prevent yourself from leaning forward or skipping too slowly when you are just starting out, as these are common mistakes.

The key is to have good posture, keeping your back straight, and not to jump too high, only a few inches from the floor, always keeping the rope tight.

Once you get good at jumping with two feet, you can start alternating feet. Aim to jump a few times on one foot and then try the other foot. Soon you will be able to go from one to the other without catching the rope.

Skipping is very versatile and much less boring than being stuck on a bike or treadmill because there

are many different foot combinations that you can use.

Once you become more advanced, you can skip to music and add different circuit exercises.

If you want to use skipping as your main form of cardiovascular exercise, then you should aim to perform it three times a week for 20 minutes.

Another option would be to skip for two to three minutes as an interval between your strengthening exercises.

This is an effective way to turn you normal strengthening workout into a circuit workout.

Freedom another word for skiing Second-year aerialist wins two medals at age group provincials

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Michael Cirillo is good on his word.

The day after receiving the disappointing news that his box lacrosse coaches had assigned him to the bantam B squad, the 12-year-old freestyle skier made his grandfather a promise that he would come back from the weekend’s racing at Silver Star Mountain with a gold medal.

Michael went one better, returning with a gold in the age group moguls event and a second-place medal in the slope style or tricks portion.

It was a brave promise to make, considering the Grade 7 Glenbrook Middle School student had yet to win a podium event in his first two seasons since taking up freestyle skiing at Apex Mountain in Penticton. “(My grandfather) was pretty happy. He said, ‘Thank you for winning me the gold. You kept your word.’ It made me feel pretty good.”

The change has also convinced the Queen’s Park resident that a decision to switch to freestyle from downhill was the right one.

When Michael first began competing in alpine skiing at the age of eight, he was met with success.

By the time he decided to leave the discipline, he had already scored first-place wins at Silver Star, Mount Baldy and Revelstoke in his age category.

“It was like a half-and-half decision,” said Michael. “I always like the jumps and would spend my time doing tricks, which interfered with the racing.

“My coach said, ‘He spends half the time in the air, so why not go into freestyle.’

“I took it as a big relief, and a lot of my friends who I hung out with were in freestyle.”

Michael soon learned that freestyle was as much about technique as downhill was.

The most important lesson was

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Brave beginning: New Westminster freestyle skier Michael Cirillo won gold in moguls at age group provincials in Silver Star this month. learning just how to set up for a jump.

As a close relation to the Shasta Trampoline Club Cirillo family from Burnaby, Michael has started taking instruction at the pre-competitive level in the hopes of learning even more tricks.

He has not yet attempted bigair aerials, like flips or 360-degree manoeuvres. Those must first be supervised by his coach under controlled conditions.

At the provincials earlier this

month, Michael garnered 13.84 points to win the Super Youth moguls, more than a full point ahead of Mt. Washington runnerup Layne Anvelt.

In the super slope final, Michael won the silver in a close final with Apex teammate Cameron Kapusty.

Taking off from a four-foot jump, Michael won the mogul event, performing a twister, moving his skis from side to side, and a spread to near perfection.

But when Michael gets the itch, he might ask his coach if he can cut out of class early and just take a rip down the popular Juniper run at Apex. Most coaches say yes.

“They know if they want to keep the kid in the program, they have to make it fun, too. I really like that,” Michael said. “It’s like the freedom I never had racing. I can try new things, try more, and ask my coach for pointers to do the better levels.”

Michael’s 16-year-old brother Luca is a daredevil, too.

The two of them spend a lot time searching out the many jumps within the designated ski areas on Apex.

“We usually like to hit jumps and stuff. But sometimes we like to go out and find a cliff and just land right down in the powder and ski out,” Michael said.

“I might suggest something and like, Whew, this is not what I was expecting. But I’d have to test it out cause it was my idea.”

One such cliff is aptly nicknamed Holy F### and runs as high as 60 feet at its highest point.

The first time he ever attempted it was by accident.

Michael was 10 and skiing behind his friends, when after coming out of a stand of trees, he found himself airborne.

“All of a sudden, I could feel my skis taking off the edge and just like the feeling of my skis in the air. I took a look below and I’m 30 feet in the air and I see my friend below me, and I’m just yelling.

“I think what’s going to happen when I land, but I hit it perfectly.

I was pretty mad at my friend, but when I calmed down a bit, I thought, ‘That was really fun.’ We went back and did it three or four more times.”

Freestyle skiing gives his parents some anxious moments for the youngest of their three sons, but he was born to the breed, said father Walter Cirillo.

“Michael had to learn to keep up with the rest of the family,” said Walter.

“He had to learn to ski with his hair on fire. Now, it’s the other way.”

Shasta tumblers to Indo Pac meet

Anita Cirillo of Burnaby qualified for the 2010 Indo Pacific gymnastics championships in Kakegawa, Japan from June 29 to July 3.

Cirillo, one of six gymnasts from the Shasta Trampoline Club to make the national team, will compete in the women’s 17-year-old division on trampoline.

Also among the 11 B.C. gymnasts named to the squad were Shasta club qualifiers Shannon Comeault, Chelsea Nerpio, Poppy Quinlan, Ben Blais and Cameron Quinlan.

Shasta team coach Bryan Milonja will also represent the province at the championships, which will also include New Zealand, Australia

and South Africa.

Third Express commits

Former Burnaby Express forward Rich Manley committed to State University of New York at Genesco for the upcoming NCAA Division III hockey season.

Manley scored 36 goals and garnered 100 points over two seasons in 112 career B.C. Hockey League games. He will join former Express teammate Colin de Jersey, who recently completed his freshman season at Genesco.

Manley is the third Express player to move on to university hockey. Earlier, defenceman

Jimmy Geerin signed on at Div. I Robert Morris University and former Western hockey leaguer Colby Kulhanek agreed to play at Simon Fraser University next season.

Unlucky seventh again

Michael Valiante finished in seventh place for a second consecutive race on the Grand Am Rolex Series sports car series in Alton, Virginia April 24.

Earlier this month, Valiante and Daytona prototype co-driver Brian Frisselle also finished seventh at the Porsche 250 in Birmingham, Alabama.

First-year women to A Cup semis

The expansion Burnaby Girls Canadians moved into the final four of the women’s Provincial A Cup with a 3-2 win over Castaways FC at the University of Victoria turf on Sunday.

The first-year premier soccer club scored the game-winning tally with just minutes remaining in the match, when team captain Amy Bobb headed home the game-winning goal.

The Canadians started with some dominating possession and attacking patterns and went into the halftime break with a 2-0 lead on goals by Kristen Zoller and Stacy Warren.

However, the hardworking Island group forced the Canadians into a few mistakes and tentative play in the second half and capitalized with two long range goals on standin goalkeeper Marissa Antoniazzi, who performed well for Burnaby.

Antoniazzi, the Canadians’ starting centreback, was deputized into the nets when Burnaby’s keeper could not make the trip to the Island against the Lower Island league runner-up.

With the score knotted at 2-2 and just a few minutes remaining in regulation time, Bobb got a head on a loose ball in the box from an uncleared Britta Rustad corner kick to seal the win.

The win moves the Canadians into the semifinals of the Provincial Cup tournament against sixtime defending champions Surrey United.

The Canadians have a solid 1-1-1 record against Surrey this season and a superior 3-2 goal differential in those three games.

“Surrey is always in peak form at this time of year and is the overwhelming cup favourite against the expansion Canadians,” said Burnaby head coach Matt Holbrook.

Game time is 12:30 p.m. on Saturday at Coquitlam’s Percy Perry Stadium.

Burnaby won its opening round cup match 1-0 over Richmond FC a week earlier.

Last weekend, Surrey United won its quarterfinal matchup against Westside FC 3-0.

◗ COASTAL CUP

Tough year for district in cup play

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Burnaby soccer was shut out of the Coastal Cup his year.

The defending, two-time Burnaby Girls United were denied a third straight A Cup title following a 2-1 loss in a shootout to Coquitlam Metro-Ford Silence in the under-18 girls’ championship final at Minoru Oval in Richmond Saturday.

With a strong wind blowing off the water throughout the match, Burnaby gave up an early goal in the opening minutes of play and was forced to play catch up for almost 80 minutes before scoring the equalizer.

Alisha Penev tied the match 1-1 in the 88th minute, scoring with a keen left-footer from outside the 18-yard box that beat the Coquitlam keeper cleanly.

In the first overtime period, Burnaby’s Marissa Di Lorenzo, who had a strong afternoon on the United back line, saved a possible shot on goal from close range, after getting her head on a searching cross to the far post in the 94th minute.

Melina Gomez, who started the second half in goal for United, was a bit shaken up after attacking a 50/50 ball early in the second OT session. Gomez stayed in the game.

United’s best chance to score in overtime came off a build up from Abbey Vogt and Katelyn Reilly to Mikela Bertelli, whose ensuing shot on goal from near the box was easily stopped by Metro-Ford keeper Emily Wilson.

The shootout went to the sixth shooter before Burnaby’s Lyanne Gannon

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Final cup: Burnaby Girls United Meghan Leahy, seen here in a regular season game, lost 2-1 on penalty kicks to Coquitlam Metro-Ford in u-18 Coastal A Cup. got too much of the ball and sent it over the crossbar.

Coquitlam’s Kaila Henly then scored with a low shot to Gomez’s right for the cup-winner.

“It was a game of with the wind and against the wind,” said United coach Bruce Gant. “Going against the wind, we let it bother us too much.”

That was evident in the opening minutes of the game, when Coquitlam forward Nicole Wilson got away on the right side and sent a hard, high shot towards the net that Burnaby starting keeper Zoe Miceli got a hand on.

The ball deflected off Miceli’s gloved hand and carried on toward the goal, bouncing over the goalline into the United net after just 10 minutes of play.

It was the third time in the early going that Metro-Ford were allowed to exploit space on the Burnaby flanks.

Vogt’s subsequent substitution on defence remedied that weakness.

Burnaby began the second half with purpose and were unlucky in the opening minute when a shot on goal by striker Amy Lawrence sailed wide of the goal after the Coquitlam keeper had stumbled and

fell and was in no position to make a save on goal.

In the 50th minute, Tessa Barbour sent an outswinging corner into the box that Lawrence had a play on.

But Coquitlam re-established some control midway through the period, much of the buildup beginning in the Metro-Ford midfield.

Barbour and Penev came close in the 69th minute off a corner kick that the Coquitlam keeper just steered wide with a glove stop.

Penev made no mistake on her next chance however, tying the game with a solid strike with just two minutes left to play in regulation time.

“Everyone agreed we didn’t play our finest game today and when you leave it to the last minute, anything can happen, and it did today,” Gant said. “(Coquitlam) didn’t cause us anything to worry about, but in the end, that’s what it’s all about.”

The result was an unfortunate ending to a successful association for the United squad.

Bruce and co-coach Jodene Gant took over the United team as u-15s and guided the Burnaby girls to back-to-back Coastal A Cups at u-16 and u-17, which included a provincial title last season and a subsequent silver medal at the u-18 club nationals.

“I’m going to miss the girls, big time,” Gant said, adding but with the end comes a new beginning in the girls’ soccer careers.

As for the Gants, it’s time for a break from soccer, Bruce admitted. “It would have to be a pretty special team for me to return,” he said.

Field lax pair up for fan’s choice award

Stony Brook University juniors Jordan McBride and Kevin Crowley have both been named finalists for America East fan’s choice player of the year.

McBride, with 44 tallies this season, currently leads the NCAA Division 1, averaging four goals per game.

He also boasts a nation-best .587 shooting percentage and is fourth overall with 4.55 points per game.

Crowley, a 2010 Tewaraaton Award nominee along with McBride, has 32 goals and 21 assists to date.

Crowley ranks second in the country with 4.82 points per game and fifth in goals per game. The winner will be announced on Friday.

Last Saturday, Crowley tallied five times and added two assists to help the No. 12-ranked Seawolves to a 15-0 rout over Albany in conference play.

McBride finished the game with a pair of markers, just two shy of breaking Kevin Pali’s 2002 record of 133 career goals.

The win allowed Stony Brook to be the host of the NCAA Division I north quarter-finals to be held on May 23.

’Bellies galore in pro lax playoffs TheupcomingNational Lacrosse League playoffs will involved more than a dozen players with New Westminster roots.

The Washington Stealth, top seed in the Western Division, will have the New Westminster Salmonbellies goalkeeping tandem of Matt Roik and Tyler Richards between the pipes, as well as veteran Peter Morgan and newly acquired defender Curtis Hodgson running the floor.

Division league champion Washington takes on the Minnesota Swarm, with former ’Bellie junior Alex Turner and ex-senior Richard Morgan in the line up, in a west semifinal this Saturday.

The Calgary/Edmon-

ton series also sports a half dozen Salmonbellies.

Ian Hawksbee, former keeper Matt Disher and graduating junior Brett Mydske will suit up for the Edmonton Rush.

Mydske was second in NLL rookie defenceman scoring with 10 points, including a league-best four goals.

Craig Conn, Curtis Manning and Pete McFetridge will dress for Calgary in the all-Alberta matchup also Saturday.

In the East, Kyle Ross will be in the Boston Blazers lineup against Jordan Hall and the topseeded Orlando Titans.

The four weekend winners will advance to the divisional finals May 7 to 9.
