Workers get new contract BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
The power will be staying on in the Royal City for the foreseeable future. Following four months of negotiations, the City of New Westminster and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 213 reached an agreement on a new contract for 12 employees with the City of New Westminster Electrical Utility. On Nov. 4, Local 213 ratified the memorandum of agreement, which covers a two-year term from April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2012. The agreement includes a five per cent increase for some worker classifications. “It’s always important to conclude bargaining successfully for any department,” said Joan Burgess, the city’s director of human resources. “When you are bargaining, a certain tension develops and it is difficult to get focused on other things.” Employees represented by International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers maintain the electrical distribution system, which supplies electrical power to customers in the City of New Westminster. “The history of the City of New Westminster and the Electrical Utility is we follow the trend with B.C. Hydro,” Burgess said. “We have had to maintain comparability with Hydro’s wages to keep our staff.” Between Hydro and private sector contractors, Burgess said it has been challenging to retain staff in certain areas.

Short walk to a new season BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com
The Royal City Farmers Market vendors aren’t letting the end of the harvest season put an end to their weekly fun. Instead, they’ve again simply moved a short way from their Tipperary Park site indoors to Holy Trinity Church. “Holy Trinity was great for us last year, and we think it is a perfect location in terms of what we’re doing,” said market manager Jen Arbo. This year marks the second year in a row of winter markets in the Royal City, and although they barely broke even last year, Arbo still considers it to have been a success.
“We got a great response,” she said. “We didn’t make a penny last year – in fact we probably even lost a little because we had to do things like buy advertising – but it was really important for us to bring what we bring to the community. The vendors are really on board with it and really love the shoppers. We had so many requests to do it again that we just figured there is no point in not doing it.” The monthly markets will be open the second Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the downtown church on at 514 Carnarvon St. While there won’t be much in the way of farm-fresh fruits and veggies, there is still plenty to choose from, with over 30 vendors selling a variety of produce, handmade delicacies and crafts.
“I think it is safe to say from this point out that it will be a regular event,” Arbo said. “Whether we up our frequency to twice a month, that remains to be seen down the road. Vancouver (Farmers Markets) made the decision this year to go once a week, and I think that’s a really lofty and fantastic they feel there is enough of a market to support it, but we wanted to make sure that we could sustain our own vendors. You don’t want to bring a half-level quality. We knew that if we tried to bring it more than once a month, that could become a concern, and we didn’t want to overextend.” For more information, check out www. rcfm.com or their site on Facebook. www.twitter.com/flematic

A CLOSER LOOK: NEW MARKET IS LONG IN THE MAKING BUT PROMISES TO BE A FOODIE HUB
Venture would be first of its kind Community and sharing with neighbours is the key to new market on the Quay BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com
A
century ago, the New Westminster quay was one of the most hustling and bustling market destinations in the province. While it’s been awfully quiet on the waterfront since the Westminster Quay Public Market closed its doors, Mark Shieh is doing his best to soon make it one again. It’s been a long time since the public last had a peek inside the empty, Expoera building, but Shieh – the director of the renamed, soon-to-be-opened River Market at Westminster Quay – believes it will be well worth the wait because the revitalization project he and his team have taken on will be unlike anything else ever seen in North America. “Everybody keeps asking ‘When are you going to open, when are you going to open,’ but the really interesting story isn’t so much when but how we are going to do it,” said Shieh with a chuckle after he and community services manager Julie Ramirez provided The Record a sneak peek of the still papered-off premises. “Around the time it happened, I had a “People often talk about how we are what Tibetan Buddhist teacher who said to me, we eat but, more importantly, we feel that they have a saying in Tibet: ‘If you’re digwe are what we share, and that is what ging for water, commit to a spot and dig.’ defines us as a community.

Because he believes feeding the mind is as important as feeding the body, the popular Vancouver Circus School is already set up shop upstairs (and will be featured on an upcoming episode of the Mercer Report) and the building will also soon be the new home for Pedagogy Toys. What the market won’t be, as Ramirez puts it is “just another mall.” The River Market group is deeply committed to the idea of a market being a place “where culture and commerce converge,” so much so that they’ve even had to turn away deep-pocketed corporate chains that wanted to set up shop but were the wrong fit. “It isn’t easy saying no to peo-
ple when there are bills that need to be paid,” he admitted, “but we really want to stay true to the concept.” In other words, don’t expect to be able wash down a Double Down with a double-double or be asked if you want fries with that. In fact, instead of even having a traditional food court, the downstairs eating area will feature one giant, communal table that will allow people to share meals together rather than apart.

Market: Planning a ‘holistic approach’
Ready to go: A peek inside reveals that the shelves are stocked at Donald’s Market at the River Market. Donald’s is set to open this Saturday.

industrial kitchen to can their own jams or bottle their own patented barbecue sauce. There is the “armada” of customized delivery bicycles able to deliver goods to community residents and/or hawk goodies on the move, the online poetry and trivia contests, a program where one per cent of profits can be returned to the consumer or donated to local charities, art displays, free outdoor community gardens, and even a future artist-in-residence. Metropolis on the Fraser it won’t be. “I honestly think Mark is a bit of a visionary,” said Royal City Farmers Market manager Jen Arbo, who knows a thing or two about building communities through food markets. “I think they are really going to be a great community citizen and will do a lot for New Westminster. They have some pretty amazing plans and, more importantly, they really believe in what they’re doing. I’m pretty stoked.” Shieh said the comparison that gets made a lot is to the Granville Island market, but it isn’t a particularly good one. While both offer a wide variety of food in a decidedly non-corporate environment where customers and product makers can interact face-to-face, visitors to touristy Granville Island can only consume; there’s no real way to share or create. Shieh has created a concept he calls Food 360. “This means celebrating the full circle of food in a more local and sustainable way. For example, if there was some vegetables that could no longer be kept on the shelves at Donald’s, a restaurant upstairs might use it as an ingredient in a delicious soup. We want to have a true holistic approach, from growing to processing to distribution to finally enjoying it. … We are also trying to be as zero-waste as possible and recycle and compost anything that isn’t used in the market.”
Deal: Contract ratified ◗ continued from page 1
that power line technicians are in high demand. Burgess said the parties began bargaining in the spring of 2010, as the collective agreement expired on March 31, 2010. “Finding ourselves significantly apart, the parties agreed to move to the Labour Relations Board for mediation meeting on Sept. 15. During mediation, the union booked the mediator out and served 72-hour strike notice,” she said in an e-mail to The Record. “The city responded by seeking approval from the minister of labour to apply for essential services. This was granted which, in effect, impeded the strike notice.” Burgess said the parties were scheduled to meet at the Labour Relations Board on Oct. 7 to present their arguments on essential services. As the city prepared for this hearing, she said it engaged in informal discussions with the union to see if common ground could be achieved. Instead of meeting at the Labour Relations Board on Oct. 7, the city and the union were able to reach an agreement that day. “B.C. Hydro had recently achieved a two-year settlement that provided a five per cent increase for their electrician classifications and the incorporation
into the collective agreement of an existing letter of agreement on a trades market adjustment to the hourly wage rate of the power line technicians. These terms were applied to our agreement,” Burgess said. “While Hydro is of a size to still realize efficiencies through restructure or reduction of overtime, the City of New Westminster’s Electric Utility is too small to enable such measures. Nonetheless, the IBEW responded to the employer’s need to generate some cost savings through adjustments to extended health benefits and sick leave.” Burgess said this “positive conclusion to bargaining” resulted in the union ratifying the new agreement on Nov. 4. The contract is in effect until March 31, 2012. According to the city’s website, the City of New Westminster electrical department runs the oldest continuously operating electrical utility in British Columbia. Initially referred to as the light department, the city began generating electricity for streetlights in 1891. The electrical department distributes electricity to commercial and residential customers and maintains the electrical systems in city-owned recreation centres, arenas, pools, streetlights, traffic signals and city hall.

Montessori making its way west to Connaught BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER
a “regular” program. “If you didn’t want the Montessori program, you wanted the regular program, you would have to leave (the school),” Sandra Pace, the district’s director of instruction, told trustees at a recent board meeting. Montessori is different from the regular stream in that it uses special teaching materials to help students learn. The Montessori program in the West End is currently housed at Tweedsmuir, but it doesn’t begin until Grade 1. Tweedsmuir offers Montessori, French immersion and a regular program. Tweedsmuir is the most-populated elementary school in the district, with 546 students. The school is over-capacity and has 11 por-

The New Westminster school district is considering offering a Montessori kindergarten class at Connaught Heights Elementary next fall to boost enrolment at the small West End school. Trustees have already voted to relocate the popular program-of-choice from Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary to Connaught in approximately two years, but if a new kindergarten class goes to Connaught, that transition could happen sooner. One of the concerns is that having a Montessori-only kindergarten class at Connaught would take away the option for
tables. It would continue to be over-utilized if all three programs stay at the school, the district has said. Parents on the west side have been calling for a kindergarten program in their community, according to a district report. “Most parents said they really wanted kindergarten – even if they had it at a different school,” Pace said. The district plans to discuss the Montessori option with the parents of students entering kindergarten at Connaught next fall. The district will also consult with parents on the follow-up to Montessori kindergarten at Connaught and decide whether to move Montessori students to Tweedsmuir for
Grade 1 or to have a kindergarten/Grade 1 Montessori program at Connaught. Connaught’s parent advisory council members are “open” to the Montessori kindergarten class, Pace’s report says. Some Tweedsmuir Montessori parents aren’t as excited about future plans to move the program altogether. In the spring, Montessori parents told the board that they feared moving the program to the extreme West End of the city could “kill” it. The parents said Connaught is too small and hard to reach. They were concerned that kids would have to cross busy 20th Street to get to the school and said the move would hurt fundraising. Montessori has been at Tweedsmuir for 12 years.
New pier park is big on views and places to play
The Westminster Pier Park will include passive places where people can watch the river or enjoy a picnic and active places where they can run free. Mayor Wayne Wright said the park will attract people from all over the city and provide some needed greenspace for current and future downtown residents. “It will be a little sanctuary right on the river,” he said. “It will have this magnificent water view.” A presentation about the park design, including 3-D visuals, is tentatively scheduled to take place at the regular city council meeting on Monday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. A 600-metre boardwalk that connects to the existing Quayside esplanade, pathways, a riparian zone in the river, a large gathering space, a concession stand, grassy areas, lookout points and bridges that provide views of the water, an elevated viewing area where people can see the mighty Fraser, two children’s playgrounds and a basketball court are among the offerings. Near the Sixth Street pier, some timber piles will be left
in the water and others will be included in the park as part of a Pile Forest. “Part of the idea was kids could play around there,” said project manager Dugal Purdie. “It is representative of what’s under the docks.” A structure that will represent the historic Lytton Square, a building that housed the city’s first official public market but was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1898, will be the centerpiece of the Westminster Pier Park. The structure, which will incorporate space that houses washrooms, storage and a concession, will be located near the foot of Sixth Street. A portion of the site located near the foot of Fourth Street isn’t being fully developed at this time, but it will be repaved and used for an undetermined use that could include anything from bike-riding to ball hockey to beach volleyball. The City of New Westminster purchased the brownfield site on the waterfront in March 2009 for $8 million. – By Theresa McManus, staff reporter

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Anti-Semitic bias is evident
Dear Editor:
In your editorial, Don’t confuse criticism with anti-Semitism (The Record, Nov. 13), you give a very good example why concerns of our prime minister and those of some other MPs are legitimate and necessary, at least for people well informed and not lacking in human decency. You conclude your editorial with “But if people are scared to speak out next time Israel bombs civilians, for fear of being labelled anti-Semitic …” Would you please provide some examples when Israel intentionally bombed civilians, or initiated it? I can provide many examples when Israeli civilians have been intentionally bombed; in fact, that is a daily, or almost daily, occurrence. Thus, your fears of being unable to speak out are probably unfounded. My fears of your anti-Semitic motivation, however, have been quite substantial. For I cannot think about any other explanation for your statement. Except, perhaps, that you are not much of a journalist, judging from your level of information and insight. But then it can also be both. That is, that you are anti-Semitic, and not much of a journalist. Michal Adler, Burnaby
Editorial ‘voice of reason’
Dear Editor:
Your editorial (Don’t confuse criticism with anti-Semitism, The Record, Nov. 13) is a voice of reason and a welcome defence of the democratic right to free speech. Congratulations. What a contrast to the over-heated rhetoric from those who worship Israel as a
sacred cow and try to bully into silence the great number of us who do not. Mordecai Briemberg, Burnaby
Are you a fool or a rascal? Dear Editor:
Re: Don’t confuse criticism with antiSemitism, The Record, Nov. 13. I don’t know if the composer of this editorial was acting a fool, a rascal or a blend of both. But the inference that the work of the Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Antisemitism poses a threat to Canadian freedom of the press is specious and totally wrong. It is a sad commentary on our times that anti-Semitism internationally has reached levels not seen since the heyday of Nazism in the 1930s, aided and abetted by an unholy alliance of right-wing reactionaries, left-wing dupes and militant Islamists. In calling together a group of parliamentarians, Prime Minister Harper has again shown courage in taking proactive steps to deal with this scourge before it becomes entrenched in Canadian society. Unfortunately experience indicates that so called “anti-Israel”rhetoric is too often a disguise for attacks on the Jewish people as a whole, making it one of the important issues the parliamentary coalition has chosen to address. Honest criticism of actions taken by the government of State of Israel, when based on fact and not biased opinion, will never be subject to criminalization in true democracies such as Canada or Israel. It is only when such criticism is made to include an identifiable religious group that it goes beyond the intended parameters of free speech. Max A. Jacobson, Burnaby
Liberals: Who will be the next leader? ◗ continued from page 6
There are two precedents for the B.C. Liberal caucus to fall back on. In 1991 the Social Credit caucus chose Rita Johnston to be premier, taking over from a disgraced Bill Vander Zalm. And in 1999, the NDP caucus chose Dan Miller to take over the premier’s office from Glen Clark. There are those who say the B.C. Liberal party constitution does not allow a party leader to be chosen in any method other than that agreed to by members of the party. But that is a meaningless argument. Parliamentary tradition stipulates that a caucus – not a political party – can choose the person to lead that caucus. It may be pos-
sible, in fact, for the caucus to vote for a new premier – even if Campbell remains the leader of the B.C. Liberal party. I’m filing this column on Monday. The B.C. Liberal caucus meets on Friday. By announcing he was stepping down, Campbell avoided one potentially divisive caucus meeting. But I’m not sure he can emerge unscathed from the next one. Meanwhile, the other political leader who is in trouble with her own party is facing a pivotal meeting of her own. NDP leader Carole James meets with the party’s provincial council this coming weekend in Victoria. Despite the internal grumbling over
her leadership, I don’t think she’s going to face a rough ride from the party activists. Those demanding that she step down as leader are, for the most part, voices from the past (ex-MLAs like Corky Evans, Dale Lovick and Helmut Giesbrecht) or a small minority (five of 85 constituency association executives). And New Democrats clamouring for a change at the top have to ask themselves this key question: Do they want to be known as the party that allowed a bunch of left-wing males to push a moderate female from the job? I didn’t think so. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global B.C.

Open house looks at United Boulevard BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
A Royal City resident is questioning whether TransLink’s money is best spent on the United Boulevard connector. Quayside resident Matthew Laird attended TransLink’s recent meeting with stakeholders regarding the United Boulevard connector. He said the rationale for pushing ahead with the project appears to be in order to secure $65 million in matching funds that the federal government has pledged to the program – provided it can move forward quickly. “My feeling is they were trying to get this done before Christmastime,” he said. “They see this federal money as something they don’t want to turn down.” Laird is concerned that the United Boulevard Connector project has moved to the top of TransLink’s wishlist in order to get the federal funding, even though one of its long-range planning documents ranked it lower than many other projects. “The question is, is it the best use of
TransLink funding at this time?” he said. TransLink is holding information session about the North Fraser Perimeter Road project on Thursday, Nov. 18 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Justice Institute of British Columbia. Another meeting is taking pace at the Place des Arts in Coquitlam on Wednesday, Nov. 24 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. TransLink has stated that the North Fraser Perimeter Road project is intended to create a better movement of goods and people along the corridor. The United Boulevard extension is the first phase of North Fraser Perimeter Road, a regional corridor that would go from the Queensborough Bridge to Highway #1. TransLink’s board of directors supports a transportation plan that includes the Evergreen Line rapid transit, station upgrades, upgrades to transit services and the United Boulevard extension. According to TransLink, the project will connect Brunette Avenue with United Boulevard and relieve congestion in that ◗United Boulevard Page 10

City fees set to increase
It’s going to cost more to deal with nuisances, to get a building or plumbing permit and to bury someone on weekends and statutory holidays in New Westminster. Council recently received a report about user fees and rates, with council approving the proposed changes in principle. Fees at the Fraser Cemetery are rising to bring the rates to within the average of municipal cemeteries in the Lower Mainland, said a staff report. In order to cover the higher rates paid to staff for working outside normal work hours, fees for Saturday, Sunday and statutory holiday rates are rising for casket burials, from $1,300 to $1,956; for cremation, from $600 to $756, and for inurnment, from $300 to $600. The city’s development services department is increasing fees and rates in a number of areas. Staff is recommending that all fees in the licensing and integrated services division and planning division be increased by one per cent, which is in accordance with the increase in the Consumer Price Index. Rental properties that have excessive nuisance service calls for disturbances of the peace and illegal drugs will see increased

fees to reflect the current costs of providing these services. Police service calls will increase from $195 to $250 per call, while city staff service calls will increase from $50 to $100. Also in the development services department, all minimum permit fees for building and pluming will increase from $120 to $125; re-inspection fees will increase from $100 to $125 (and increase by $125 for each re-inspection up to $500). In addition, council has agreed to modify the building permit fee structure to add a level and to increase the lowest level’s rate to bring it inline with fees that are being charged in the Lower Mainland. The current fees are $10 per $1,000 value of building construction up to $150,000, and $7 for every $1,000 in excess of $150,000, but the new levels will be $11 per $1,000 up to $150,000, $9 per $1,000 between $50,000 and $150,000 and $7 per $1,000 of value building in excess of $150,000. City council recently set the water, sewer and solid waste utility rates for 2011, with increases of 11 per cent (water), 5.4 per cent (sewer) and 7.5 per cent (solid waste). tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Bringing history home New interactive text book looks at city’s neighbourhoods BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER
nhope@royalcityrecord.com
Grade 5 students in New Westminster will get a chance to take home a piece of local history. The new interactive book, called My New Westminster, explores the city’s 150 years of history and includes a map of each neighbourhood, which allows the students to mark down the location of their home and their school. “I really wanted to engage kids,” said Jill Doyle, the district’s visual literacy coach, who wrote and illustrated the book. “The germ of the idea is that every child gets a copy in Grade 5,” she said. “It’s a take-home book. It’s a keepsake. “It dovetails rather perfectly with the Grade 5 social studies curriculum,” she said, explaining why they chose that group to get the book. “It’s an excellent age to introduce the whole idea of civic literacy.” New Westminster’s rich history makes for good reading, Doyle said. The book – distributed to classrooms last month – was published by the City of New Westminster and funded through the

It chronicles the city’s 150 years of history. city’s 150th celebration. Local historians Jim Wolf, Archie Miller and Rob McCullough all offered input on the book, Doyle said. “They were absolutely invaluable,” she said. She also worked with school district staff to develop a teaching manual to accompany the book. The activities and the text of the book are closely linked
with the prescribed learning outcomes for the Social Studies curriculum – almost all of which can be taught with the book, said Sandra Pace, the district’s director of instruction. “They could teach almost their entire social studies curriculum from this book,” said Pace. “I’m really excited about it because it really makes it easy for the teachers.”
Students will use the book as a learning resource throughout the year, and parents can read through the book to see what their children have learned, which will ultimately also help parents to learn a little more about local history. Doyle said they have funding for enough books for this and next year, but the hope is that the books will continue to be provided to students beyond that time.

ew Westminster firefighters and Canucks Alumni will be taking to the ice at Queen’s Park Arena on Friday for the sixth Hydrant Cup. The biannual hockey game is a fundraiser for
the New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society, which raises money that it disperses to many charities. The roster for the Vancouver Canucks Alumni is still being finalized but Garry Valk, Garth Butcher, Jyrki Lumme and Cliff Ronning are among those who may suit up for the game. Fin, the Canucks’ mascot, will also attend. Bill Ranford, a Stanley Cup champion goalie with the Edmonton Oilers in 1988 and 1990, will also play. The New Westminster
resident is expected to play defense for the firefighters’ team. The puck drops at 7 p.m., but the fun starts when the doors open at 5:30 p.m. and an outdoor barbecue gets underway. The event includes a live band, face painting, a 50-50 draw, a visit from Sparky the firedog, a Frisbee toss, a raffle and a silent auction. Canucks tickets and autographed Canucks jerseys are among the items up for grabs in the silent auction. Tickets are available at Queen’s Park and Moody

The New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society is hoping to raise a record $20,000, which supports a number of causes including a breakfast program for inner city schools in New Westminster, a lunch program at St. Barnabas Church and a program for musicians at New Westminster Secondary School.

It’s set to start at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium at New Westminster Public Library, 716 Sixth Ave. Those who attend are asked to bring a goodie to share. Call 604-526-4729 for more details.

Art opening
New works by Carole Arnston are on display in an upcoming exhibition at the Van Dop Gallery. The Winter Garden opens with a special event on Saturday, Nov. 20 from noon to 5 p.m. Arnston will be in attendance for the occasion, revealing new works inspired by nature. “The weather here on the coast this fall has been fabulous for the flora,” Arnston says in a press release from the gallery. “Low-angle sunlight brings out the contrasts of branches, leaves and tonal variations in the darkening blossoms. Lots of dynamics in the brushwork brings the wind and the heat of a late autumn sun to the canvas.” Arnston, an architect by trade, has a multi-faceted background in design and draws on abstract impressionist influences. The Van Dop Gallery is at 421 Richmond St. in New Westminster. Call 604-5217887 to arrange a private viewing, or see www.van dopgallery.com for more details.
Theatre night
The Backroom Theatre Club is offering up an evening of poetry, plays and storytelling next week. The club is presenting an evening of monologues, poems, stories and two short plays at New Westminster Public Library
on Thursday, Nov. 25 at 7 p.m. The Backroom Theatre Club is a group of actors, writers, poets, teachers and producers who are dedicated to promoting the performing arts in the city. It started off in the backroom of the Heritage Grill, and the group now meets in the Arts Council of New Westminster’s studio. Everyone is invited to enjoy their presentation at the library. To reserve a seat, call 604-527-4667. The library is at 716 Sixth Ave., uptown.
Art at the library
Don’t miss your chance to enjoy the November art exhibitions at the New Westminster Public Library. In the reference department, you can catch Martin Jasiak’s show, Moments in Time. As a press release notes, Jasiak was born in Poland in a small town in a countryside setting that influenced his later love of nature. He was encouraged to draw from a young age and studied fine arts at Langley
Fine Arts School and Emily Carr, and his bright, surrealistic oil-on-canvas paintings are inspired by his feelings about nature. On the ramp gallery, meanwhile, you can check out work by members of the Century House Painters in a variety of styles and media. Check out the art at any time during library hours at 716 Sixth Ave.
Seniors’ show
There’s no business like show business – especially when the Golden Age
Theatre is at the helm. The group is presenting its show, No Biz Like Show Biz@, at Century House on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 26 and 27. The cost is $8, including refreshments, and tickets can be bought at the front desk of Century House, 620 Eighth St. The show is a benefit for seniors’ peer counselling programs. For information, call 604-519-1066. See Julie MacLellan’s blog, In the Spotlight, at www.royal cityrecord.com.

Can the Royal City Skating Club survive? BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com
The Royal City Skating Club says it’s skating on financial thin ice after the combination of the HST and an ice time rent increase imposed by the city. The club traditionally hits the ice once a week between Thanksgiving and mid-March at Queen’s Park Arena, but some members are fearing dwindling numbers and rising costs could mean the end of the long-running club, which first began in 1938. “I’ve been involved with the club for about nine years, and I’ve seen the numbers going down every year,” said club member Phillip Mullin. “Of course, when you lose numbers, it means the amount everybody has to pay goes up to pay for the advertising and the ice time. That’s the double whammy.” The group skates Monday nights between 8 and 9:45 p.m. and has had to raise its drop-in fee to $9 from $7 last season to try and make ends meet. According to club treasurer Margaret Follis, the HST is adding an extra $47.25 to the new hourly rate of $252 per hour charged by the city. “With 21 evenings in the skating season, we will pay $9,261 in ice time rent this year,” she wrote in a letter to The Record. “This is $1,249.50 more than last season, a whopping increase of 15.6 per
cent. No support is received from the City of New Westminster, and frankly, we cannot understand why the cost has to be so high.” However, the city’s director of parks and recreation, Dean Gibson, said the hourly rate is still considerably lower than at most neighbouring municipalities. “We have been historically the lowest priced ice in the region, and the parks and recreation committee has been working to have our fees become closer in line with what we find in other municipalities,” said Gibson. “We’re still about $22 less than what the average would be.” He said that ice time after 6 p.m. is considered “prime time” and is much more expensive than earlier in the day. He also pointed out that the city offers numerous cheap public skating options throughout the week. “We have drop-in skating several nights a week at Moody Park that ranges from $2 for a child up to $4.25 for an adult. We also have loonie skates, where you are only paying one dollar admission.” A complicating factor is the skating club is mostly made up of seniors who are increasingly having to give up the activity but aren’t being replaced by new members. “The nature of this particular group has been such that, at least in recent years, they appeal to older skaters and they’ve been

On thin ice: The Royal City Skating Club is in need of some young blood if the 72-year-old group is to survive dwindling numbers and rising costs at their weekly skates at Queen’s Park Arena. having a little bit of a challenge, I think, attracting sufficient numbers,” said Gibson. Mullin agrees this is a big part of the problem. While the group says on its website (www. members.shaw.ca/royalcity skatingclub) that it is “for adults 18 years to 108,” the reality is most members are senior citizens. “We’re really fighting an age problem more than the financial, but it is certainly contribut-
ing to it,” Mullin said. “I would say our average age is maybe 72. We’ve been trying to get new members that are younger because that’s the only way the club is going to sustain itself. The business of getting new members is our biggest concern. “If they are really young, I can understand if they’re not all that interested because it basically – it wasn’t the intention of it – but it has evolved into almost a seniors

skate.” Gibson said he would be open to discussing the matter further with the group. “This is actually the first we’ve heard of any particular concern on their part,” he said. “I’m a little surprised they would take the trouble of writing to the newspaper before contacting us, but we’ll certainly be following up and try and find out what some of their issues are.”

Tie one on to help the food bank BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com
If you’ve ever wanted to add a touch of Don Cherry to your personal wardrobe, and even help out a good cause while you’re at it, you’ve got until the end of the month to do it. At least for this year. Despite the recent passing of their longserving president, Howard Isman, Royal City Jewellers and Loans Ltd. are once again putting on their annual tie auction for the Great Vancouver Food Bank. Now in its 15th year, the fundraiser features a variety of neckties autographed by an eclectic mix of roughly 70 celebrities that can be bid on through Royal City Jewellers’ website (www.rcj.ca) or in person at their 515 Columbia St. location. Grapes (that’s Don Cherry, for the nonhockey fan) is currently leading the online bidding, although he’s sweetened the deal somewhat by also throwing in his O Pee Chee rookie card. Others have also added incentives to
their signed ties, which could help explain why an autographed jersey from an Illinoisbased minor hockey team, the Quad City Mallards, is getting far higher bids than ties alone signed by such hockey legends as Henri Richard, Yvon Lambert, Scotty Bowman and several former and current members of the Vancouver Canucks. Along with autographed cravats from TV, film and music stars, tie collectors can also have a chance to get signed CDs from Chantal Kreviazuk and the band Hedley, a tie also with a drawing on it by renowned artist Robert Bateman, as well as paintings by local artist Gary Weston (currently trailing Cherry in the No. 2 spot). Participants include local celebrities (Bif Naked, Red Robinson, David Suzuki), the internationally famous (Jay Leno, Steven Seagal, Sugarland) and even the off-planet (astronaut Steve MacLean, the cast of Stargate Universe). Bidding continues at their website until Nov. 20 and will then continue on EBay until Nov. 27. Call 604-525-PAWN for more.
Non-profit groups, get listed in Guide to Giving
Local organizations are counting on the community’s generosity to help them lend a helping hand to those in need. The Record will once again be offering its Guide to Giving, which helps inform local residents about organizations needing a helping hand. Christmas is a time when many non-profit agencies rely on the community’s support. The Guide to Giving provides a listing of non-profit organizations to give read-
ers some choices of where to volunteer their time, give goods or donate cash. It’s a resource that helps Record readers know who needs their help at Christmas – and throughout the year. The Record will publish the Guide to Giving in a mid-December issue of the newspaper.

Meditation can bring peace HEALTHWISE
I
DR. DAVIDICUS WONG
learned to meditate in the most unlikely of places. In the bathroom I shared with my older brother, I would find the most interesting reading material. It was there that I became fascinated with the human mind thanks to his Psych 101 textbook. For several months, he left a book on meditation. So that’s where I began my journey to master my mind and my emotions – not in a temple, a Zen garden or an ashram, but in the cold green-tiled bathroom of our basement. I learned that I could find refuge from the anxieties of my teens and learn to tame the torrent of difficult emotions without drugs or alcohol. I learned that though I had no control over most of the circumstances of my life, I could choose how I
would react to them. I learned that real peace cannot be found lying in the sun on a faraway beach, and real happiness is not a future time when everything is perfect. Meditation is challenging to define as it encompasses differing practices among many cultures throughout history. It is used by many to manage stress and anxiety. It is used by others as a spiritual discipline to find meaning in their lives. It can be a mental or spiritual practice in which the practitioner intentionally focuses attention on either an object, an image or an idea. In such concentration meditation, the attention may be centred on the portrait of a saint or guru, an image in one’s mind’s eye or on an idea, such as peace, happiness or light. Alternatively, as in the case of mindfulness meditation, the focus of concentration is the authentic observations, thoughts and feelings that enter one’s awareness in the present moment. With diligent practice, mindfulness can give depth, breadth and mean-

sk a chef to perform outside of the kitchen and it’s like a fish out of water. But not so for Starlight Casino’s executive chef Rodrigo Fereira. For the past three months, Fereira has been the star of Cooking with Rodrigo, an intimate dinner service and show in the Redbar Lounge at the swanky Queensborough restaurant. Rodrigo, along with his staff, prepare the meals on a stage while the diners are seated “in the round” overlooking the “kitchen.” Started in August, the event has grown each month and gives foodies a chance to see first-hand what happens in a gourmet kitchen. “This was an idea that Rodrigo came to me with from his experience working on cruise ships,” said Lui Garcea, marketing manager for the Starlight Casino. “We wanted to take this to a different level and that’s why we started
Cooking with Rodrigo. ... Each month, he puts a special menu together, with two appetizers, an intermezzo, two entrees and dessert.” Garcea said the first event only drew eight people, but that’s ballooned to more than 50 for the third event, all through wordof-mouth and a little bit of advertising. “We’re expecting a full house for our Nov. 30 event,” said Garcea. “We’ll take a break for Christmas but we should be back in the new year.” Fereira, who’s worked in the Caribbean and Europe – in addition to his cruise ship cooking – has also worked at prestigious Michelin star restaurants. “I really didn’t think it would work out this well,” Fereira says with a laugh after the October show ended. “It was an idea I thought might work because we want to be the best. ... I’ve always been confident that my cooking will stand on its own.” When I took my older sister – a Food Network aficionado – out for October’s Cooking with Rodrigo show, we were treated to a unique Lower Mainland dining experience. Host Clarissa Pruden – whose day job is as slots
manager at the Starlight – entertained the crowd while Fereira cooked and gave us diners some interesting nuggets of information. “Chef Rodrigo tries to incorporate both low-fat and locally grown ingredients into every dish,” said Pruden. “And he tries to use as many seasonal ingredients as possible.” Our first dish was the

As Pruden gave a nice backgrounder on where truffles come from and how expensive they are, she also worked the room to show off some of the truffle oil that would be used in a future dish. When our Russian salads came, I almost felt guilty toppling the tower of food with my fork and eating heartily.

‘EVERYBODY CONSIDERED HIM A FRIEND’
City employees mourn loss of colleague BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
A longtime Royal City resident and employee of the City of New Westminster passed away on Remembrance Day. Patrick Young, 45, passed away suddenly in Royal Columbian Hospital on Nov. 11. A memorial service is being held on Saturday, Nov. 20 at Queensborough Community Centre. “Patrick has worked for the city for more than 20 years,” said Keith Coueffin, the city’s manager of licensing and integrated services. “He worked as a parking patrol officer, more recently as a bylaw enforcement officer.” Working with police and other city departments, Young dealt with problem properties and enforcement of city bylaws. “He was a first aid attendant at city hall,” Coueffin added. “He was also president of CUPE Local 387.” Young is survived by his mother Ruth Young, twin sister Patricia (Lawrence), brother Irvin (Florina), sister Margaret
(Addy), and sons Richard and Andrew. He is also being mourned by his co-workers at the City of New Westminster. “Everybody considered him a friend,” Coueffin said. “He was very well liked by staff throughout the city. He was eager to help anyone he could, very positive, very dedicated to his work and serving the community.” Young had many interests outside of work, including car repairs and riding his new motorcycle. He was also a longtime RCMP auxiliary officer in Burnaby. Joan Burgess, the city’s manager of human resources, said Young was a wellrespected employee. He had recently taken on the role of president of CUPE 387. “His approach in the realm of labour relations was respectful and reasonable, serving his members to his best ability. “As director of HR, I know we will miss his presence in the labour-management forum; as a colleague I will miss his positive and friendly approach,” she said. “I know his longtime friends and coworkers here at the city deeply feel this loss and miss him very much.”

Christmas gift ideas for gardeners BRANCHING OUT ANNE MARRISON
W
hen gardeners are given a Christmas gift that’s beautiful and practical they can count themselves lucky. Metal or wooden obelisks, for instance, are lovely in themselves and enlarge garden space by making vertical plantings possible. Some areas have artisans that make fascinating things out of wrought iron. In a North Vancouver garden, I saw a gate made by a metal artist from old garden tools on an ironrail base. Gardeners who have few places for climbing plants are quick to welcome an arch or a trellis that’s good-looking by itself in winter and in summer can be a home for beautiful vines. Wooden birdhouses are found in craft fairs as well as some garden centres. These funky little structures are an eye-catching/useful addition to any garden – provided they have cleanout access and a hole of a size that neighbourhood bird species will accept. A bird feeder is another gift possibility. Few are pretty, but the feathered clients they attract put on an ever-changing show. Still, squirrels are a huge feeder problem although squirrel-resistant feeders can be found at Lee Valley Tools and online. Unfortunately nothing protects feeders from bears. In bear country, feeders should be put outside only when bears are hibernating and brought in before they wake up. Birdbaths are pretty and useful. Concrete animals are not useful, but they do create year-round structure that’s enhanced if they become moss-covered. But you do need to know your gardener. My sister has a rabbit-plagued garden, and her sense of humor would be severely tested if she received a concrete rabbit.
For small-space gardeners, ornamental pots for houseplants or gardens are easily found. Matching pots in small, medium or large sizes add design possibilities to the gift. On the practical side, trowels usually get a never-fail welcome especially since different tasks need different shapes. The business end can be wide, narrow, shallow, deeply indented or pointed. All are valuable including long-handled trowels which make planting easier for aging backs. Like trowels, gardening gloves tend to go missing and gloves for the dominant hand eventually selfdestruct. Botanus offers a Dig This glove that’s very sturdy, being reinforced with leather at the fingers. It’s quite flexible and strapped at the wrist. The Lee Valley Foxgloves are lighter and excellent for subtle fingering work. Both types of gloves block soil particles and are machine-washable. But people with a large and varied garden could also use leather rose (or bramble) gloves, long, rubber pond gloves and rugged, absolutely thornproof gloves. For winter gardening a wool beret or tie-on ski hat can keep light rain off the head for long periods. Cowichan wool toques are especially useful for warmth and rain resistance. New gardeners might like a varied gift basket of small items. Besides gloves and trowels, it might include hand cream, magnifying glass (to identify tiny pests), a mister (ornamental if possible), Velcro plant ties, copper slug tape and perhaps some tiny tools for houseplant gardening or seedlings. A garden magazine might be an especially nice touch. The gift basket could always be a gift bucket. Gardeners use buckets in many ways: weeding, harvesting, storing soil amendments and transporting several tools at once to the action zone. Like compost, one never has enough buckets. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her by e-mail, amarrison@shaw.ca.

Great finish for ultra woman and Douglas College soccer star BY EMILIE MCDONALD REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com
Suzanne Evans of New Westminster placed second overall in the final Haney to Harrison 100 kilometre ultramarathon race on Nov. 6. Evans finished with a time of 8:49:07, taking the women’s title, and finishing only five minutes from first overall. Andy Bachmann of Pitt Meadows won the individual event in an overall time of 8:43.44. Evans averaged 5:18 per km in the gruelling road race. In comparison,
her second-place time was within that of the top-100 teams in the relay portion of the annual event. It was the second consecutive year Evans had finished on the podium. Last year, she placed third overall and second in the female division. This year was also the 14th and final running of the event. The relay and ultra race will move to Whistler next year.
Player of the year
Forward Reynold Stewart of the Douglas College Royals was named the Canadian Colleges’ Athletic
Association 2010 men’s soccer player of the year on Nov. 9. Stewart was earlier named provincial college’s player of the year for a second straight season, as well as garnering the provincial championship tournament MVP despite the team’s bronze-medal finish. It was also Stewart’s second provincial first team all-star. Stewart led the B.C. colleges’ league in scoring with 15 goals. Sahil Sandhu joined Stewart on the All-Canadian team. Sandhu was second in regular season scoring with 13 goals.

◗ COLLEGE
Douglas perfect in team badminton
Douglas College kept its five-year winning streak in badminton match play intact at the second B.C. Colleges’ tournament this season. Despite playing a man short and without singles player Darren Hong, the Royals team finished first overall with a 5-0 record at Thompson Rivers University Saturday. In the individual events Sunday, Douglas birders took three of the five disciplines. Melody Liang, Stephanie Ko and RuiLin Huang, who between them have won nine national college titles, led the Royals to their second straight tournament win. Liang, Ko and Huang, along with Amy Leung and Rey Luo, won their team matches. Huang also placed first, ahead of Ko in the individ-
ual women’s singles, winning her 10th consecutive tournament title. The pair then teamed up to win the women’s doubles as well, knocking off the No. 1 seeded team of Jensen Ly and Ashley Jang from Kwantlen University in the final. Liang and Leung finished in second place in the doubles competition. Liang then paired up with Luo to place first overall in the mixed doubles. Luo was third in the men’s singles. Leung and Jerzyl Panuncialman had a career-best fifth placement in mixed doubles. With two tournaments still to be played this season, Douglas currently leads second-place Kwantlen by nearly 100 total points. Douglas will host the final provincial tournament in February.
