City pay cheques on agenda Residents can have their say on council salaries at May 17 meet

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A review of city council’s remuneration policy is recommending raises for the mayor and council, as well as a couple of new items, including separation allowances.

Based on a council remuneration policy established in 2001, the mayor’s annual salary will increase from $81,987 to $86,878.

That’s an increase from the $71,665 in 2006, $73,770 in 2007, and $81,987 in 2008 and 2009, all of which were adjusted using a “regression analysis” process.

“I didn’t get a raise last year. I am the only mayor in the Lower Mainland who didn’t, I’m pretty sure,” said Mayor Wayne Wright.

“Council got a raise, staff got a raise.”

Wright believes a raise is warranted.

“I consider myself working hard for the city,” he said. “There has to be good value for everything you spend money on. I am working on a level and bringing things to the city that are good value for the city.”

Council has approved a staff recommendation to proceed with a public process regarding changes to council’s remuneration policy.

A policy established in 2001 provides the method used to calculate changes to city council’s pay and requires full review with a public process every three years. Residents wanting to comment on the policy can appear as ◗Pay Page 8

RCH: It’s a medical emergency Physicians say wait times, understaffing a major problem

BY JANAYA FULLER-EVANS REPORTER jfuller-evans@royalcityrecord.com

Royal Columbian Hospital is suffering from a critical shortage of ER doctors, according to Dr. Sheldon Glazer.

The hospital is also suffering from severe overcrowding problems in the ER waiting room, and rooms and hallways, the emergency room doctor from Royal Columbian added.

The situation has become so dire that a severely ill elderly man had to be resuscitated in an ambulance bay, after arriving by ambulance, because there weren’t any beds available in rooms or hallways, according to Glazer, who is also an ER physician at Eagle Ridge hospital in Port Moody.

“Many emergency rooms are seeing 20 per cent more patients now than three or four years ago,” Dr. Glazer added.

Currently, Royal Columbian has approximately 30 ER physicians. The doctors estimate they need about seven more to properly treat patients in time.

As of Tuesday morning, there were 38

patients in the ER waiting room, Dr. Glazer said.

While the province has made advances and cut wait times at many hospitals, Dr. Glazer said, more is needed to ensure patients’ safety.

However, all the physician shifts at Royal Columbian are currently filled, according to Dr. Anne Clarke, the medical director of ER programming at Fraser Health.

The B.C. Medical Association and the ministry of health have been in negotiations about ER physician staffing levels, Dr. Clarke said. ◗Hospital Page 9

Parents criticize payment policy Should parent groups have to pay when they use schools?

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The school district’s guidelines for use of local schools is inconsistent and was likely created “on the fly,” the district parent advisory council chair says.

As an example, Margot Barton said parents at F.W. Howay Elementary were recently told that they would have to pay for a janitor to work on an evening that they wanted to host an event.

“Here we are, active members of the school community, and we have to pay for a school event,” Barton said.

While Howay is without a nighttime janitor, some elementary schools in the district have evening janitors working, so if parents or community groups hold an event, they wouldn’t have to pay to use the school.

“If another school has a janitor, they are OK,” said Barton.

“We have Burnaby groups who use New Westminster facilities because they are free, yes, that’s what I’m told. I just want equity, basically.”

The school district’s director of instruction, Janet Grant, said the Howay situation has been resolved because the school’s principal told Grant that she would be willing to lock up on the night of the upcoming event.

“If a group comes in, we need to have a staff member there,” said Grant. “We don’t want to charge our PACs. We never have because they do so much good for our schools.”

Grant said the district is working on developing an overall policy on facility use.

“That’s precisely the kind ◗Schools Page 10

Too loud? The rail yard near the Quay is once again raising the ire of residents, who say nighttime noise is at unacceptable levels.

Residents, MP take on railways

Nighttime noise rattles Quay residents

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The Quayside Community Board is taking on the railway companies once again in an attempt to stop nighttime noise in the local rail yard.

As a result of a complaint filed in 2008, the Canadian Transportation Agency assisted the Quayside Community Board in reaching a mediated settlement with rail companies operating in the rail yard adjacent to the Quayside neighbourhood. The intent of that settlement was to reduce, and ultimately eliminate the unreasonable noise and vibrations being generated by nighttime operations, for the benefit of the community.

Brian Allen, chair of the Quayside Community Board’s rail noise committee, said it’s “quite disappointing” that all of the rail companies haven’t taken steps to reduce nighttime noise from the rail yard. While three of the companies are considerate of

neighbours, he said one continues to generate unreasonable noise while neighbours try to sleep.

On April 13, the Quayside Community Board filed a new noise and vibration complaint. It has requested that the Canadian Transportation Agency issue an operating guide for the rail companies that restricts operation in this rail yard to between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m.

The Quayside Community Board has also launched an online petition.

“People can access that off the QCB website. This is an open petition for people who are negatively impacted,” Allen said. “It is focused on the rail yard noise, not train crossings.”

Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian is hosting a community forum about rail yard and rail crossing noise on Sunday, May 30 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Inn at the Quay.

When the government was considering legislation concerning railway operations about three years ago, Julian tried to get the government to include amendments that would have restricted operations in urban zones to day-

light hours. He said the government didn’t include those amendments, saying the process included provisions to address concerns about noise from rail yards.

“It simply hasn’t worked,” he said.

After getting input at the forum, Julian will work with residents on an action plan to have the government address the issue.

“It is untenable for many residents,” he said about the noise.

While some railway companies have been able to manage themselves after going through a mediation process, he said others have not. He said legislative changes are needed that would allow Quayside residents, and others living near rail yards in urban areas, to sleep easily.

“It isn’t rocket science,” he said. “It is paying attention to residents’ concerns. Some railways have done this.”

Julian said laws are put into place because not everyone is willing to abide by a voluntary code.

The Quayside Community Board has also contacted the New Westminster Downtown Residents Association because its

residents are also impacted by train noise.

Allen said trains passing through the rail yard don’t cause any problems.

“You can’t block a vital artery, we recognize that,” he said. “We want peace and quiet while we sleep.”

Allen said trains crash and bang around like Tonka toys being slammed together. Others leave their engines idling in the rail yard at a decibel level too loud to ignore.

“Imagine a crack of thunder 10 times louder than you are used to – you are going to jump out of bed,” he said about the noise from shunting trains.

The Quayside Community Board believes the rail companies can operate during the day and don’t need to work throughout the night.

“They have extra capacity in the rail yard,” Allen said. “They can do the work during the day.”

Allen notes that the Vancouver International Airport no longer allows planes to take off after 11 p.m. because of noise impacts. He ◗Trains Page 4

Pitching in: Kaylie Page, Jordan Knodell and Nicole Samimi are helping fundraise for the new youth centre at Century House.

Youth centre supporters act out to help raise funds

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The fundraising campaign to equip the youth centre that’s now under construction in Moody Park is in full swing.

The $2.33 million youth centre is being built at the rear of Century House and is aiming to open in late June. The Connecting Generations fundraising campaign is working to raise $200,000 to furnish and equip the New Westminster Youth Centre.

Royal City Rotary Club is sponsoring the Spring Fling event at the Queensborough Community Centre on Saturday, May 8 from 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The Michael Crean band will perform.

“There will be a silent auction,” said Jan Greenhow, co-chair of the fundraising campaign. “All the proceeds will go to the furnishing of the youth centre.”

Greenhow notes that local seniors will benefit from the centre because they’ll be able to use several rooms in the facility when they’re not being used by youth.

Tickets are $35 and are available at Century House.

A local thespian is donating her time and talent to the youth centre’s fundraising effort. Renee Bucciarelli will perform The Belle of Amherst on Friday, May 14 at Century House at 7:30 p.m.

“It’s about the life of Emily Dickinson. It is a one-woman show,” Greenhow said. “It is the third time she’s done it. One of our staff went to it (in Vancouver) and said it

is great.”

The play is $12 for non-members and $10 for members of Century House. A raffle will also be held, featuring prizes such as three hours of spring cleaning.

Advanced tickets are required and are available at 604-519-1066 or at Century House.

The Connecting Generations fundraising campaign continues to sell banners that decorated New Westminster streets during the 2010 Winter Olympics.

“We still have some of those left. We have sold about half,” Greenhow said.

“Those will be real collectors’ items, worth quite a bit in a few years.”

For $100, donors will get a set of Olympic banners and a set of two of the City of New Westminster 150th anniversary banners that flew in the city in 2008. People can also buy sets of 150th anniversary banners, which will be packaged with 150th souvenir items, for a $30 donation.

Greenhow said the Connecting Generations fundraising campaign has raised more than $61,000 and has confirmed pledges that would bring that up to $100,000. The campaign is hopeful about a donation that would be a “real boost” to the campaign.

“It’s going quite well now,” Greenhow said. “I am getting quite pleased about it now. It was slow. It is not a good time to be raising money right now.”

said the airport has adjusted its operations in consideration of the community.

“Ideally, we want the rail companies to cease operations in that rail yard between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.,” he said. “That includes idling of engines.”

According to Allen, federal legislation states that rail companies must take into account the areas in which they are operating.

Allen said the land use around the rail yard has changed in the past couple of decades, with more residential development taking place at the Quay and in the

downtown.

Although the railways predated residents on the waterfront, Allen said that’s no excuse not to change.

He noted that if a school were built beside a road with a high speed limit, the speed limit would still be reduced in consideration of the school’s needs.

The rail yard, which is used by four different rail companies, is bounded by the McInnis Street overpass and Third Avenue, and Quayside Drive and Stewardson Way. A Quayside Community Board press release states that the board and the four

rail companies signed an agreement to work together in 2009. The board is “extremely disappointed” to report that this mediated settlement has failed to eliminate the level of unreasonable noise from rail companies’ nighttime operations.

“The spirit and intent of the agreement was for the railways to seek ways to eliminate unreasonable noise at night,” Allen said.

Vandals topple trees

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster’s top gardener is urging residents to report any vandalism to city trees.

Claude LeDoux, the city’s manager of horticulture, said a number of trees were pushed over in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood overnight on April 29.

“Someone has gone and pushed over brand new planted trees,” he told The Record.

While many of the downed trees were along Fifth Street, behind Westminster Centre, others were found on Second Street. Some mailboxes were also toppled.

“It’s like they walked through the neighbourhood and did this,” he said.

LeDoux encourages residents to report

vandalism to the police service or the parks department.

According to LeDoux, about eight trees were knocked down along Fifth Street.

“They were planted about six weeks ago,” he said. “We are going to try and stand them back up.”

In some cases, the stakes that are put in place to hold up the trees were damaged.

“A few others have been completely broken off. They will have to be replanted,” he said. “It’s vandalism that doesn’t need to happen when we are trying to green the city.”

LeDoux noted that “no area is immune” as trees were recently targeted on 12th Street. In that case, the stakes were broken, not the trees.

Two stakes are placed on either side of newly planted trees to hold them in place.

– such as our country’s handling of the While Stephen Harper has often Afghan detainee issue.

OUR VIEW

Up until this week, the government refused to hand over uncensored documents requested by the opposition, citing national security.

The opposition believes the black pens have been wielded for other reasons, namely to avoid political embarrassment.

In an immensely heartening decision, Milliken reminded all parties this week that the executive arm of government is constrained by Parliament and that MPs

aren’t just sitting there warming the seats for show.

The government, he ruled, can’t keep unedited documents on the Afghan detainee issue from MPs, whose job is fundamentally to hold government to account.

Milliken also expressed his opinion that finding a solution to how to make those documents available shouldn’t be beyond our lawmakers.

We hope he’s right.

HST is likely here to stay IN THE HOUSE

A

KEITH BALDREY

s I watched our MLAs finally give passage to the legislation that paves the way for the introduction of the harmonized sales tax, I couldn’t help but think that the tax is here to stay. No matter how loud the cries of “shame, shame!” were from the NDP side of the chamber, and no matter how many signatures the anti-HST petition eventually garners, the prospects of actually getting rid of the tax appear dim.

There are a number of obstacles here. First, the province is locked into a contractual agreement with the federal government to collect the HST for five years. Any attempt to undo that agreement earlier than 2015 would result in a hefty financial penalty for the B.C. government, likely in the neighbourhood of at least $1.6 billion.

Even NDP leader Carole James acknowledges this fact. If her party wins the 2013 election, it will preside over the HST system for two years before making any attempt to get rid of it.

Frankly, I can’t imagine public anger over the HST lasting at the current level for another five years. Therefore, it’s unlikely

2007 WINNER

there will be much political pressure on an NDP government to repeal the tax.

As well, if the economy is chugging along by that time, I’d bet a lot of economists will point to the HST as being a contributing factor to that economic growth (something they’re already predicting, but their voices have been shouted down by the outcry over the HST).

Those who think a successful petition drive against the new tax will automatically get rid of it should go back and read the actual legislation governing such initiatives. If enough valid signatures are indeed collected (something we won’t know until August), the petition is certified as successful and is sent to an obscure standing committee of the legislature. The select standing committee on legislative initiatives must meet within 30 days of receiving the petition (which would be a rare occurrence in itself, given that this committee hasn’t met for 20 years or so) and decide one of two things. It must either recommend a legislative bill based on the language of the petition itself, or refer the bill and the petition to the chief electoral officer for a provincewide referendum.

Let’s look at the first option.

There’s no guarantee the legislature will sit this fall, so it is conceivable that the anti-HST bill would not be introduced in the house until the spring of 2011. ◗HST Page 7

Dear Editor:

Thank you so much for the lovely article about my winning the Bernie Legge Cultural Award (Pappajohn honoured for city cultural work, The Record, April 28). I would like to set the record straight on two items in the article. The article said I considered New Westminster a “cultural hub.” I said the city had some excellent arts groups. One day I hope it will be a cultural hub.

Secondly, the article said I organized the Christmas concert fundraiser for St. Barnabas Anglican Church last winter. I have not been involved in organizing those concerts for several years.

I would like to thank the Chamber of Commerce for sponsoring the arts award, thank the New Westminster Arts Council for its nomination and thank The Record for its tremendous and generous support of the arts.

Montessori move is a bad idea

Dear Editor:

The recent decision of moving Montessori into Connaught shows that our trustees continue to be reactive and focused on their own popularity.

Does no one else see the irony of “saving” the community school by handing it over to be used by an outside program, filled with students driven into Connaught’s quiet streets from all over New Westminster?

When Connaught was in danger of closing, the neighbourhood pleaded earnestly that it was too important to their community to close.

Trustees were convinced to keep it open – but at the cost of making the new school to be built at St. Mary’s smaller. This was a choice with a cascading effect on other areas because we now have a school in one area that hasn’t enough kids to fill it, while other schools are overflowing: inevitably, someone

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Connaught is too small ◗ continued from page 6

has to be moved.

The problem is, however, none of the programs of choice are really small enough to fit in tiny Connaught. The entire school is built for a population of about 140. Six classrooms. The smallest of the programs of choice, Tweedsmuir’s Montessori, has over 90 students in four classrooms, and it will have well over 100 students in five classrooms if it is allowed to run a kindergarten class as well. The other schools with programs of choice are all over 300 students, in order to have enough room to run classes of both programs.

Count the rooms, and you see that, by moving Montessori to Connaught, the school board is doing one of two things: ◗ deliberating shrinking Montessori to suit their needs at Connaught – kind of like the ugly stepsisters cutting off their toes to try and fit the glass slipper! Because Montessori “works” with split grades, it’s an easy candidate to snip down to the size required to keep Connaught full and thus justify the board’s decision to keep that school open; or ◗ setting up Connaught to become an entirely Montessori school. If Montessori is allowed to grow to its likely size of over 100 students, it will take over Connaught.

You can’t run a viable regular kindergarten-to-Grade 5 program out of the remaining one or two classrooms.

It is a shame that, having just been “booted” out of Tweedsmuir because of lack of space, the beleaguered Montessori classes are going to be thrust into another conflict zone as they have to fight for space in a school far too tiny to accommodate the needs of both a program of choice and a regular program.

When Connaught parents said they “welcomed” Montessori, did that mean that they were prepared to see their “com-

munity” school, this important neighborhood hub, get appropriated and become a magnet school?

As a Montessori parent, I think the program is awesome, and yet I recognize some parents may not wish to choose it.

Do Connaught parents realize that, to send their kids to the school they fought to save, they’ll soon be forced to sign them up for Montessori?

When will our school board be honest about the consequences of their decisions?

Will they ever take the initiative to set up situations that will allow for growth instead of more conflict?

Living wage not sensible

But introducing a bill is not the same thing as calling a bill for debate and then passing it. Only the government – not the Opposition – can call a bill for debate, and given that passing such legislation would result in that huge financial penalty to the provincial government’s already depleted financial coffers, does anyone seriously believe the B.C. Liberals would pass such legislation?

Finance Minister Colin Hansen desperately needs to balance his budget before the next election, so I don’t see him blowing a $1.6-billion (and counting)

Dear Editor:

I was appalled to read that the City of New Westminster council has passed a motion requiring that the city and all its suppliers and contractors pay their employees a living wage, which they have arbitrarily set at $16.74 per hour.

The city government should be acting in the best interest of its taxpayers. It is not in the best interest of those taxpayers to inflate the cost of everything by artificially raising wages.

Also, to further favour city employees, an already privileged class in our society, will only serve to increase the unfairness in labour markets since it will result in people working for the city being paid much more than those doing the same job elsewhere.

A better approach would be to look at an increase in the minimum wage, which would benefit all low-income workers.

However, I am wary of making that move at this time since increasing the minimum wage will result in the elimination of some marginal jobs, which will increase unemployment.

hole in his fiscal plan.

As for a provincewide referendum, you can pretty well forget about that option going forward.

There’s no way a government will set in motion a vote that will be seen as an anti-government vote – and one that would surely pass.

Bill Vander Zalm, the proponent of the antiHST petition, says he will organize a recall movement against Premier Gordon Campbell if the government essentially ignores a successful outcome of his petition drive.

But the earliest he can begin a recall campaign is mid-November, and he

would need 40 per cent of the voters (not 10 per cent as with the petition) to sign a recall petition to be successful. That works out to more than 16,000 people.

Will the public anger still be there by that time?

Perhaps, but the rules are stacked against a successful recall (just as they are stacked against a successful petition). The B.C. Liberals may yet pay a hefty political price for ignoring the public when it comes to the HST. But they appear willing to take that hit instead of scrapping the tax.

City plans longer hours for Moody Park pool the parks and recreation committee at its next meeting. A modest expansion is being proposed. Council approved about $25,000 in additional funding for pool operations in its 2010 budget.

City staff is finalizing plans that would see a modest expansion of operating hours at Moody Park Outdoor Pool.

The $5-million facility opened last July.

Some councillors have stated they’d like the pool to extend its hours of operation.

“We are finalizing the details around that schedule,” said Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks, culture and recreation.

“We are continuing to refine that.”

Revitalization grant coming

Now that work on the Maria Keary Cottage is nearing completion, the city is ready to deliver on a previously approved grant.

A decade ago, the city initiated the Columbia Street financial incentive program, which saw the city using $500,000 annually from casino revenues for the revitalization of commercial buildings in the Columbia Street historic district. Council later extended the boundaries to allow commercial buildings bordering Columbia Street to apply for grants.

Although the city didn’t award funding through the program in 2005 because of

budgetary constraints, council approved extensions to four applicants, including the Westcoast Genesis Society, which owns the Maria Keary Cottage at 307 Carnarvon St. The cottage, which had been approved for a $50,000 financial incentive grant, received another extension in 2007. A staff report notes that the heritage work on the cottage is “substantially complete” and meets the conditions for the grant.

Hospital: Royal Columbian faces shortage of emergency doctors ◗ continued from page 1

The three-year contract for B.C.’s ER physician coverage was up on March 31, 2010.

“Everyone would like to see a settlement,” Dr. Clarke said Crowding is an issue for ER physicians, as well, Clarke said. “We know there’s a lot of ER congestion.”

Wait times at Royal Columbian vary, she said.

On slow mornings it might only be an hour, while in the evenings it can be much longer.

Emergency physicians in B.C. have been campaigning for more ER physician staffing and hospital beds throughout the province, saying that current wait times are unacceptable.

At the end of April, The Vancouver Sun obtained reports from emergency doctors at Vancouver General Hospital that outlined specific cases of 34 near misses, where patient’s safety or medical outcomes could have been badly affected by wait times.

In one instance, a patient on blood thinner medication, who had bleeding in the skull, waited five hours

The report stated that the patient should have been seen in 15 minutes, so an imaging scan, and surgery, should have been performed to stem the bleeding.

On March 23, a fire marshal received a complaint about overcrowding and visited the ER. The hospital has since asked ambulance staff to hold some patients in vehicles until they can be seen inside, according to the report.

VGH emergency physicians also posted an open

letter to patients at www. vghemergdocs.com, stating that the workload of physicians in emergency rooms has increased to such a point that it is “not possible to continue to assess and treat new emergency patients such as yourself in a timely manner.”

The letter goes on to suggest patients should contact hospital administration, Vancouver Coastal Health and the provincial health minister with any concerns.

Spitting at cop leads to charges

A 17-year-old Coquitlam female young offender is facing charges after spitting in the face of a New Westminster police officer.

On April 22, just after 11:30 a.m., New Westminster police arrested a man with bear spray in the 800 block of Eighth Street.

During the arrest, the teenage girl

walked between officers and the suspect to engage the suspect in a conversation. When police officers asked the female to leave, she refused, even after being warned that she could be arrested for obstruction.

“The female started yelling profanities at the police officers, and then she walked up to one of the

officers and spit in his face,” Sgt. Gary Weishaar, media spokesperson for the New Westminster police, said in a prepared release.

The 17-year-old was arrested for assault, released in the charge of her guardian and now faces charges of assaulting a police officer. alau@royalcityrecord.com

“My understanding is there is no community group use of the gym (at Howay),” Grant said.

“Now, the field use, I can’t speak for. They probably are using the fields. It’s school use that we are most concerned with.”

Grant is performing the review, along with the district’s recently hired director of operations, Doug Templeton, and the City of New Westminster’s parks, culture and recreation department.

Teens promoting arts

Three New Westminster teens are helping to bring the arts alive for youth.

Alex Milewski, Jaycee Clarkson and Monica Sowinski, all students at New Westminster Secondary School, are part of the youth arts council at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts in Burnaby and have been busy planning the centre’s Youth Arts Party for teens, which is on tomorrow (Thursday) from 6 to 9 p.m.

All three are currently studying modern dance at the Shadbolt.

The Youth Arts Party will include a live performance by the Knots, a band that includes New Westminster’s Jonny Schmidt, along with Jeff Huggins, Aaron Waighorn and David Griffiths.

The Knots just captured the title of B.C.’s Best Teen Band after a showdown at Vancouver’s Tom Lee Music Hall on Saturday.

The party also includes visual and ceramic arts displays, music performances and more, all aimed at teens aged 13 to 17.

Admission is by donation, and the fun happens in Encores café and Studio 103. Shadbolt Centre is at 6450 Deer Lake Ave. in Burnaby.

Father and daughter team up to star in Runaways, this week at the Havana Theatre

BY JULIE MACLELLAN REPORTER jmaclellan@royalcityrecord.com

“I just feel so blessed.”

The words are simple enough. But Richard Newman’s deep voice resonates with a warmth that reveals just how sincerely he means them.

Newman is appearing on stage this week in Runaways at the Havana Theatre on Commercial Drive – starring alongside his 14-year-old daughter, Sofia.

At 63, the veteran actor has four decades of experience behind him and can list countless stage highlights. Recent favourites are Otto Frank in The Diary of Anne Frank with Arts Club Theatre, Half Life in Victoria, Moonlight and Magnolias at Vancouver Playhouse, and The One That Got Away with Electric Company – a play that takes place entirely in a pool.

Harvey Ostroff, a retired drama teacher turned actor and playwright.

Ostroff was working on Runaways – a followup to an earlier fringe production, The Viagra Diatribes, a series of comedy sketches about good friends Anton llych and Eli Golden, two octogenarians who met at the same bench each day to talk and watch the world go by. In the newest work, Eli – played

by Newman, who jokes that he’s only a little younger than the 85-year-old character – is mourning the death of his friend and has fled from a care home.

He happens upon on his park bench only to find that it’s been taken by a teenage runaway, Pandora Wonder – played by Sofia.

“It starts as an altercation, and it ends as a meeting of the minds,” Newman explains.

“It’s a very warm character study about a couple of unlikely outsiders who find some kind of communion.”

Newman first started working with Ostroff on the play in the fall, when Ostroff asked Newman to read it through so he could hear how it sounded.

Newman suggested he happened to know the perfect teenage girl to play Pandora.

Shakespeare program and a production for last year’s PuSH Festival, Night Follows Day. “This was an opportunity for the two of us to work together. What a gift,” Newman says.

His voice glows with affection and pride as he talks about how he’s always managed to avoid being one of those parents he’s heard about – the ones who can’t get along with their teenage children at all.

With Sofia, he says, it’s quite the opposite.

“We like each other. We enjoy spending time together. I’m just so thrilled,” he says.

“I just feel so blessed.”

The father-daughter team started workshopping the play with Ostroff in September

Newman notes that scheduling has had its challenges.

They had to take a hiatus this spring while Newman was appearing in the Arts Club Theatre production of Paradise Garden.

Mother’s Day concert set The New Westminster Symphony Orchestra has put together a special concert for Mother’s Day: A Grand Afternoon at the Opera, at Massey Theatre.

The Sunday, May 9 concert starts at 2 p.m. and includes singers from DragonDiva Operatic Theatre, a fresh local company whose goal is to bring opera to an audience that would otherwise not see it.

“With the beautiful voices of DragonDiva backed by the full New

Westminster Symphony Orchestra, this Mother’s Day concert promises to provide a truly memorable afternoon,” said local arts promoter Tony Antonias.

The program will include arias from some of the greatest operas ever written, including Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte, Rossini’s ever-popular Barber of Seville, highlighted by its famous overture, and several excerpts from Puccini’s beloved Madama Butterfly.

“Yes, you will hear the beauti-

Admission is by donation.

The concert is presented by Westminster Savings Credit Union as part of its ongoing support of the New Westminster Symphony Orchestra.

Navy celebrates 100 OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

A

nniversaries often supply the impetus to follow up on some details in a family’s history. Some anniversaries are personal and some are much broader in nature but may still be linked to your own family group. For many people an upcoming Canadian anniversary will undoubtedly open the doors to some wonderful information.

The year 2010 is the 100th birthday of the Canadian Navy. May 4 formally marks the start of the service, and many celebrations will happen during this year. Many articles will be written, and there is an interesting new book on the shelves chronicling the history of our navy.

In New Westminster’s early days, the navy ships on the Fraser River were, of course, from the British Navy and had their homeport in this area in

Esquimalt. A few of Her Majesty’s Ships (HMS) from our stretch of the river were Cameleon, Satellite, Plumper and Sparrowhawk.

During the Second World War, there was a Canadian Navy ship known as HMCS New Westminster. It was a flower-class corvette built in 1941 in Victoria and, having served in the war, was paid off (ended her life in the navy) in 1945. The ship was sold to be a mercantile vessel then sold again for scrap in 1966.

In more recent years, the Royal City has had many visits from the Canadian Navy, most connected to the Hyack Festival in May when vessels such as Provider and Calgary have paid wellreceived visits.

The Provider has visited many times and become quite close to this city and our local events. From these visits to this port city over the years, there will be many citizens who will have memories and photos they took while touring the ships.

We plan to make good use of this Canadian Navy anniversary year to track

down more facts and figures related to members of our own family: an uncle in the Navy in the Second World War, and a grandfather from the Navy/Navy Reserve from the First World War. It is this grandfather who will lead us to some interesting material from the very early days of the Navy’s existence.

In brief, it was on May 4, 1910, that the Naval Service Bill received Royal Assent from the Canadian Parliament. This created the Department of Naval Service and authorized both a Naval Reserve Force and a Naval Volunteer Force. In addition to this, two old British cruisers, Niobe and Rainbow, were purchased from the Admiralty and became training ships.

Archibald Miller, the grandfather noted above, apparently served on the HMCS Rainbow, and we are planning to find out more about this. A family photo shows him standing proudly in uniform.

Be sure to watch throughout the year for special events and publications all focused on the Navy’s 100th anniversary, just as we will.

Money advice for moms Class Thursday at Pedagogy Toys

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster financial adviser Faith Plunkett wants to help moms manage their money.

And to do it, she’s holding a free money class at Pedagogy Toys on Columbia Street.

“The whole idea is to empower women with financial knowledge, so we have our own knowhow,” says Plunkett, who is the mother of a one-yearold. “Secondly, to educate our children, to pass on knowledge, so they don’t make the same mistakes we have. Thirdly, a man is not a plan.”

Plunkett wants to see women take control of their cash flow and help ensure their family is grounded with good financial footing.

“I teach people how to bring their high-interest debt down to low-interest debt and free up payments so they can put that money toward long-term savings,” she says. “It’s basically teaching women how to free up money. It’s being smarter with your

money rather than working harder.”

The key to financial success is knowledge, Plunkett says.

The most common money misstep is too much wasteful spending, but that’s not always the root issue, she says.

The core problem is generally that money is going to areas that it doesn’t need to go to, such as paying too much on taxes or on high-interest debt, Plunkett explains.

There are a number of ways for families to save on taxes, which they might not even be aware of, she says.

“It’s about strategy, and for every person it’s going to look a little bit different.”

Another mistake moms sometimes make, she says, is to not plan for retirement.

“That’s a big one, for sure,” Plunkett says. “Lots of people spend more time planning a two-week vacation than they do for their retirement.”

The best approach to retirement is to get a plan in place as soon as possible, she says.

As for why some people avoid facing their money matters head-on, Plunkett says, “I think finances are

an area of stress for people, and lots of time people avoid stressful situations.

“Also, you are not taught this stuff in school,” she says. “Most of learn about money from our families.”

The fact that parents teach their children about money might be enough of a reason to motivate some moms to join the class at Pedagogy Toys, which is being held on Thursday, May 6, from 7 to 8 p.m.

Plunkett is regular shopper at the Sapperton toy store. Through a conversation with the owner, Karen Smecher, the idea arose to host a money class for moms.

Plunkett has been a financial adviser for four years. She’s in business with her husband, Jason Plunkett.

Those who decide to work with Plunkett, don’t pay a direct fee for her service. In the same way a mortgage broker is paid, Plunkett receives payment from the companies she invests her clients’ money with.

Peggy Gibbs, a mortgage specialist from TD Canada Trust, will also be at Thursday’s class.

To RSVP, call 778888-2580 or e-mail faith plunkett@yahoo.com.

Canadians credible in debut season

First-year women fall 1-0 in cup play

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The BGSC Canadians FC’s impressive premier league debut came to an end following a loss in the semifinals of the Provincial A women’s soccer championships.

The Canadians held their own against six-time champion Surrey United before falling 1-0 to the regular season premier league champs at Percy Perry Stadium Saturday.

National team player Randee Hermus tallied the game-winning goal off a corner kick in the 23rd minute.

Surrey pressured the expansion Burnaby club from the opening kickoff, dominating play in the opening 45 minutes, despite solid play from the Burnaby backline of Stephanie Walker, Chantelle Maivs, captain Amy Bobb and Jacqueline Gant.

Canadians keeper Ariel Anderson had little chance on the only goal of the game that came off a head in front and fell to the foot of Hermus, who got it through a tangle of legs.

Anderson was otherwise sharp in goal, tipping a sure goal up and off the crossbar nine minutes later in the first half.

The Burnaby keeper also collected a yellow card on a charge against a Surrey forward just outside the penalty area.

Anderson was lucky on the ensuing free kick when she was caught going the wrong way and national team forward

Jason Lang/THE RECORD

Dance me outside: BGSC Canadians forward Kristen Zoller, right, wins a ball against Surrey United in the opening half of the Provincial A Cup women’s soccer semifinal at Percy Perry Stadium Saturday.

Katie Thorlakson headed the ball just wide of the far post.

But the second half was a different story.

The Canadians came out with more determination and played a more even second half.

Bitta Rustad and Janine Frazao let an opportunity go wanting in the 58th minute of play.

Late in the game, Burnaby also headed a

crossing free kick just wide of the goal.

“We picked it up in the second half, but it was just a little too late,” said Bobb after the game.

“We’re a first-year team.

It’s impressive we made it to the semifinals.”

The Canadians were very impressive in league play as well.

After a shocking 5-0 loss to the Coquitlam Xtreme in its league debut, Burnaby

settled in amongst the top four clubs and even shocked Surrey United in its first-ever meeting.

“We’ve always given (Surrey) a good run and that’s huge, Bobb added.

“It’s too bad we didn’t give them a better game and come out better.”

But Canadians head coach Matt Holbrook wasn’t complaining.

“Every ball they played in, they got a head on it. But

that’s what they do well,” Holbrook said, adding the team missed centre back Marissa Antoniazzi. “We didn’t get enough offence.

I would have liked to have gone after them. But in the second half, we met them physical-for-physical, I thought.”

The Canadians accomplished their two objectives following their first ◗Soccer Page 26

First new generation Hyack taken in CFL draft

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster Hyacks grad Nasser Jamal became the first player since the high school football program restarted in 2003 to be chosen in the CFL draft.

The 6-7, 292-pound offensive lineman of the Louisiana Lafayette Ragin Cajuns was selected in the sixth round, 40th overall, by the Toronto Argonauts at the annual Canadian draft in Toronto Sunday.

“Nasser is an outstanding young man who has worked hard to get this opportunity. I’m not suprised he is our first player to get drafted. When he played for us, he had tremendous footwork

and athleticism for a big man.

When he got to Louisianna, he combined that with a real commitment to the weight room and is now one of the strongest players in their program,” said Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji.

“He has had a great experience getting to play against some of the best players in the NCAA, and after a full season as a starter, this fall, he will enter the CFL with the ability to play in the league at a high level for a long time. Jim Barker (Argos head coach) does a great job of identifying and developing Canadian talent and I think he got a steal in Nasser.”

Simon Fraser University continued to stand out amongst its peers following the draft Sunday.

Since 1965, no other university has produced as many grads into the league as the Burnaby Mountain program.

The Clan added three more to its growing list of 189 players who have graduated to the CFL when Spencer Watt, Brian Ridgeway and Matt Chapdelaine, who was a sixth-round pick of the B.C. Lions, were picked up in the draft.

Watt, an 18th overall pick of the Toronto Argonauts, finished last season with 231 receiving yards and two touchdowns, including a 91-yard touchdown in the Shrum Bowl. He was SFU’s third leading receiver.

“Spencer is athletic as they come, and quite honestly, he was probably a little underused in our

system,” said SFU head coach Dave Johnson in a school press release. “But he is a great character guy, an outstanding athlete and a legitimate career type of player.”

Ridgeway, a linebacker who sat out all of last season following a concussion from the previous year, was picked up in the fifth round by the Montreal Alouettes.

Chapdelaine, the son of B.C. Lions offensive coordinator and SFU alum Jacques Chapdelaine, was selected by the Lions despite having never having played a down of football at SFU. Chapdelaine transferred from the University of Alberta but a stress fracture in his foot during training camp kept him out of the entire 2009 season.

Seawolf reaches 40-goal milestone Junior Kevin Crowley was named America East Conference field lacrosse player of the week for a second time this season.

Crowley helped the No. 7-ranked Stony Brook University Seawolves claim the top seeding for the America East men’s lacrosse championships.

The New Westminster midfielder tied a careerhigh five goals and added a single assist to lead the Seawolves to a 16-10 victory over Vermont in NCAA Division 1 field lacrosse at Stony Brook, New York May 1.

Crowley’s final tally gave him a new careerhigh 40 goals this season.

His 65 total points moved him to fourth most in a single season in school history.

It was also the third time this season that the former world under-19 allstar has scored five goals in a single match.

The win allowed the 103 Seawolves to claim their first-ever America East regular season title, while also posting their first 10win season in five seasons.

On Tuesday, Crowley was made a unanimous choice for America East’s player of the year, the first player from Stony Brook to be so honoured.

Crowley was joined on the all-conference first team by four of his Stony Brook teammates, including junior Jordan McBride.

McBride has a careerbest 46 goals this season.

Crowley was also named to the conference all-academic team. The business management and psychology major currently sports a 3.32 grade point average.

Top Div. II player

Limestone College finished its NCAA Division II South region season with a 16-7 win over Catawba College in a non-conference matchup, May 1.

Freshman attack Riley Loewen led Limestone with five points, including a pair of goals to help the Saints extend their win streak to 10 games. Limestone finished the regular season with a perfect 12-0 record in the region.

Earlier Loewen was named Inside Lacrosse Div. II player of the week.

Salmonbellies big in NLL playoffs Former New Westminster Salmonbellie Matt Disher stopped a post-season 60 shots to lead the Edmonton Rush into the National Lacrosse League West Division final.

Disher was busy in the Edmonton goal, allowing just seven goals in an 11-7 victory over Alberta rival and defending champion Calgary Roughnecks at the Pengrowth Saddledome, last Saturday.

Calgary outshot the Rush 67-37 in

the otherwise one-sided contest.

“The defence felt good. They were boxing out guys on rebounds that I was giving up. (The Roughnecks) weren’t getting any easy looks,” Disher said in a NLL.com release.

The win was Edmonton’s first franchise victory in the playoffs.

Those two goals were to finish in the top four in league play and to be competitive in cup play.

This season has given the Canadians club instant credibility and should result in positive outcomes for next season, Holbrook added.

“I think we are at the point where my phone is going to ring,” he said. “I knew it was going to be tough to get a result. So that’s why I’m not that upset with 1-0 on kind of a flukey goal.”

LOCKE, Jack Lambourne, C.M., Ph.D., F.R.S.C. Died April 29, 2010, New Westminster, B.C.

Astronomer (born at Brantford, Ontario, May 1,1921). After service in the Royal Canadian Navy in WWII, Jack graduated from U of T in 1946. He received his doctorate in 1949 and was appointed astrophysicist at the Dominion Observatory, Ottawa, that year and chief of its stellar physics division in 1959.
