◗ CAMPAIGN TRAIL

NEXT stop for hopefuls

Saturday marks the end of National Organ Donor Awareness Week, and the B.C. Transplant Society is taking the occasion to mobilize people to register as organ donors.

“In B.C., we have about 17 per cent of the population registered, and we’d love to see that number rise,” said Allison Colina, spokeswoman for the society.

With the launch of its 2011 campaign, Live Life. Pass it On, the society is turning to the omnipresent social media to help get British Columbians informed. The society has launched a Facebook app that takes a registered donor’s photo and adds a tag that reads “I gave my heart” to show support for organ donation.

Colina said old donor cards and stickers are no longer recognized by the province since the donor registry was created in 1997. The new system, she said, is remarkably easy and fast to register with.

“Someone can register online on our organ donor registry in a matter of minutes. The whole process, including signing the registration form with a legal digital signature, is completely online,” she said.

Colina said because so few people are signed up to be organ donors, those waiting for a desperately needed transplant have to wait that much longer. She noted that even registered donors are rarely eligible to donate organs after they die.

“Very few deaths result in a potential donor. A person has to die in hospital, on a ventilator. It’s often in pretty tragic circumstances like a head injury or a stroke or aneurism – quite sudden,” she said.

In the event of such a tragedy, every health-care professional in B.C. has instant access to a database of all organs ready for a potential transplant, and patients at the highest risk are given priority.

“Many families actually take a sense of peace in the fact that their loved one was able to be a donor, and they feel very

A 2008 study by transplant specialists confirmed Colina’s sentiment.

One of those lives saved is now literally a “poster girl” for the benefits of organ donation. Maxine Martell was a close friend of Eva Markvoort – the former Miss

The event, sponsored by New Westminster Environmental Partners and NEXT New Westminster, was held at La Rustica Restaurant. Candidates from New Westminster-Coquitlam and Burnaby-New Westminster were invited to attend and mingle with residents.

Candidates from New WestminsterCoquitlam who attended were Diana Dilworth (Conservative), Fin Donnelly (NDP), Rebecca Helps (Green) and Ken Lee (Liberal). Conservative candidate Paul Forseth, NDP candidate Peter Julian and Green candidate Carrie McLaren attended from Burnaby-New Westminster.

Man killed in crash was a new father

Investigators are asking witnesses to call tip line

The man killed in Tuesday’s horrific accident in New Westminster has been identified as a Coquitlam man who recently became a father.

Mark Holmes, 26, was killed instantly when a cement truck travelling down the hill on Holmes Street struck his car as he was heading to his Coquitlam home on East Columbia Street just before noon.

He was on his way to pick up his wife and infant son, Jackson, for a doctor ’s appointment.

The truck ran through a red light and T-boned Holmes’ car through a cement barricade and then tumbled down a steep drop-off into Lower Hume Park.

Holmes was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the cement truck was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital where he was treated for minor injuries.

The accident had the

intersection closed until almost midnight on Tuesday while the New Westminster Police collision analyst and major crime officers investigated the crash, though it may take weeks before the investigation is complete.

Sgt. Gary Weishaar said New Westminster police would like some help from the public.

“We are asking that anyone that observed the collision or has information regarding the incident to please contact the New Westminster police tip line at 604-529-2430 and leave your details for our investigators to contact you,” he said in a press release.

Holmes’ death has been a blow to his family and

coworkers at Accurate Alarms.

“He was just in my office 15 minutes before,” said his boss, Tony Oljaca.

“Everybody’s in tears; there are two guys upstairs who are just destroyed,” he said.

Holmes’ common-law wife and mother-in-law work in the same office.

“He was just an allaround good guy,” Oljaca said. “He was very gentle and worked really well with others. He would always ask you to come to work with a smile on your face.

Just before he left, he was doing a little dance to cheer people up in the hallway on his way out.”

No more paycheques for cop on suspension Police board stops pay for constable found guilty of assault earlier this month

BY BRENT RICHTER REPORTER brichter@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster Police Service Const.

Jeffrey Klassen will no longer be receiving paycheques from the force while suspended.

The New Westminster municipal police board voted Tuesday night to strip Klassen of his pay but could not make the decision public until serving a notice of discontinuance of pay and allowances to Klassen on Wednesday.

“This notice takes effect immediately,” a press release from New West police reads.

Klassen has been suspended with pay since January 2009, when he was charged with assaulting newspaper deliveryman Firoz Khan while off-duty and intoxicated.

A judge found Klassen guilty of assault on April 5.

Klassen and his lawyer were given an opportunity to be heard by the police board before the decision was made.

Klassen still faces a parallel investigation under the Police Act to determine if allegations of professional misconduct against him are substantiated and merit punishment.

The New Westminster Police Service is currently not offering comment on the matter.

Klassen is due in court for sentencing on May 10. The judge in the case found him not guilty of possession of stolen property – a charge that had been based on the victim’s allegation that Klassen stole his cellphone, which was found in Klassen’s pocket after the assault.

Klassen’s co-accused, West Vancouver Const. Griffin Gillan, pleaded guilty to assaulting Khan and was given a conditional sentence in July 2009.

IN MY OPINION

MATTHEW CLAXTON

A

s sure as spring brings skunk cabbage and the scent of freshly spread manure, a federal election brings the suggestion that we make voting mandatory.

Don’t do it, politicians.

The “Let’s just make everyone do it!” approach is thrown about as an answer to the (alleged) problem of declining voter turnout. That’s not to imply that voter turnout isn’t declining. It hit 58.8 per cent in the 2008 contest, after bouncing back and forth between the high 60s and mid-70s during the previous half century. But turnout has never been close to 100 per cent. In fact, it flirted with the low 60s in the 1890s, not far above recent levels. And the highest level ever was 79.4 per cent participation in the 1958 election.

We have yet to crack 80 per cent participation in any election.

The question should not be, “Should we make everyone vote?” but, “Why don’t people want to vote?”

Let me try to answer that as someone who has serious doubts about voting this year. ◗ The fear that my vote won’t matter. Oh sure, they say every vote is important. But in Langley,

where I live, the incumbent MP got 62.5 per cent of the total votes.

While it’s an extreme example, there are dozens of other ridings across Canada where putting up the lawn signs and holding debates is nothing more than a game with a foregone conclusion.

Keep in mind that I have never, ever voted for a winning candidate at the federal or provincial level. If I was a hockey player who’d lost every game for 14 years, I’d have gotten the hint by now and hung up my skates.

I’m aware that the flip side of saying your vote doesn’t matter is that, if enough people say that, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But 62 per cent? Come on. ◗ The choices aren’t that great. I’m a firm believer in the hold-yournose-and-pick-the-least-offensive-candidate approach. I have strongly held opinions, but they don’t map onto the political landscape of any party. When I vote, I tend to vote against the parties and policies I really hate, rather than for one that speaks to me. ◗ It’s not exactly à la carte politics.

Believe it or not, this lefty, bleeding-heart pinko agrees with the Conservatives from time to time.

And there are Liberal policies that I find palatable, and NDP and Green ideas that send me into fits of frothing rage.

But I can’t pick and choose from the policies of the parties.

All I can do is make one vote, for one potential MP, who may or may not win, may or may not sit on the back benches, may or

Critic has a right to speak out

Dear Editor:

Re: Mayor has vision for future, Letters to the editor, The Record, April 16. After I finished reading Ms. Jaser’s letter I simply had to shake my head in disgust. Why is it that New West seems to want to beat down any one with a divergent point of view from the status quo? I would like to request the mayor and those councillors who are seeking re-election, as well as new politicos, to elevate the discussion. Refrain from threats, character assassination and immature comments such as “running someone out of town.” This later comment would be laughable if it weren’t so ugly in nature.

Accusing Mr. Bell for the lack of shoppers on Front Street area lacks intellect. Andrew Fleming’s article of March 26 (Dealers recall good old days) reports that neither the toxic blob, nor the Pier ◗Voting Page 7 Park has had, or will have, any economical impact on Antique Alley. In the article, Leona Ruttle from

Antique Alley Collectables and Movie Props states, “We’re not holding out high hopes for the park.”

A member of the Downtown BIA and business owner, Bill Shannon was reported as saying that he doubts the local antique industry will ever see the return of the good old days.

Whether fairly or not, the city – both elected and employed – is responsible for the conditions that caused the current state of Front Street– not Mr. Bell.

That is called leadership!

As for the park, everyone loves a park, especially one on the waterfront – but at what cost? Ms. Jaser, you seem quite content to be getting half a park, adjacent to a toxic blob for twice the promised price.

Good for you, you have a right to say so and to pay the high taxes to enjoy it. However, there are many others who simply do not share your opinion and have the right do so –without being threatened!

The truth is many citizens were shocked when ◗Resident Page 7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Resident deserves thanks ◗ continued from page 6

Mr. Bell’s findings were verified by Theresa McManus in her article ‘Toxic Blob’ (The Record, Nov. 10). Why is it this information only came to light from the tenacious sleuthing of a concerned citizen? Please note, it was not an employee or elected official that brought this hazard to the public’s attention. So one could conclude from this that: they either didn’t know and should be thanking Mr. Bell for the discovery – or they did know and said nothing.

Either way I can only deduce that we are all better served by having Mr. Bell as part of our community in this matter.

So to Mr. Bell, I would like to thank him for volunteering his time and energy to help make New West a safer place to live. I suggest, Ms. Jaser, that the one who should be offering the apology is you to Mr. Bell for your inaccurate and inappropriate rants in the local media. Elevate yourself – you may find it liberating!

Paul R. Thompson, New Westminster

Personal attack was wrong

Dear Editor:

Re: Mayor has vision for future, Letters to the editor, The Record, April 16. I would like to congratulate Mrs. Sandra D. Jaser in passing her RealPolitik College course in Ad Hominem Logic 101.

An “ad hominem” attack is a damage control strategy in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of irrelevant facts about the person presenting a claim or argument. This type of damage control strategy has the following form: 1. Person A makes Claim X. 2. Person B makes an attack on Person A. 3. Therefore, Person A’s claim is false.

So let’s start with... ◗ Person A makes Claim X: I have claimed that the railroad lands north of the Westminster Pier Park are themselves a brownfield site heavily contaminated with hazardous levels of tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene and cichloroethylene, and therefore must be avoided. I have questioned why the City of New Westminster, having known about the toxic railway right-of-way (which it owns) for many months, has not posted signs alerting citizens to the toxic soils.

This claim is not in dispute, as the City

of New Westminster sent a report to the Ministry of Environment eight months ago outlining how the railway land soils are high risk for contamination. That same report outlines how the railway lands are more contaminated than the park soils were (that’s saying something considering how toxic the soils of the park were). ◗ Person B makes attack on Person A: Sandra D. Jaser mounted an all-out character attack on me with such statements as, “I wondered about his character and Googled his name – page after page of nothing good to say … how sad.” ”With the unrelenting, sensationalized efforts to spit on our city that he lives in, it seems he is in a state of precarious assumptions.”

“After reading the endless scare tactics written by Christopher Bell … the alarmist writings that Christopher Bell keeps babbling/squealing on about … Mr. Bell obviously promotes the use of the tracks as playgrounds for children and joggers.”

I was most troubled and disturbed when Mrs. Jaser ended one diatribe with the words “Stay tuned” and then ended her next piece of negative screed with the ominous warning words of, “Be thankful we are not in the past. Back then, they would have run you out of town.” ◗ Therefore, Person A’s claim is false.

Mrs. Jaser has forcefully exhorted that none of my concerns about the toxic railway lands are to be believed because I am an unbalanced, ruthless, malicious, lying, alarmist, fear mongering, pig of a man.

Well, Ms. Jaser, I’ll stand by my record (Google or otherwise), as I am very proud of my citizen advocacy work. You can hurl all of the invective you wish, but your words will not make the railway lands any less toxic to humans.

TellHisWorship(whoseheart,youclaim, is truly dedicated to New Westminster) to hold a community workshop on the toxic hazards (and the millions and millions of dollars being spent on testing and cleanup) of the Westminster Pier Park and railway right-of-way (although the city is saying they will not clean up the railway right-of-way lands which the city owns) and then we will see who is Wright.

Mrs. Jaser, you demand I apologize to city officials. You have more nerve than an electric eel. I would accept a public apology from you for your very unkind (and very public) words directed at me.

Voting: We need a better system may not cave in and compromise. ◗ Negativity and personality. As I write this, the four main party leaders are scrapping on TV about ethics and leadership ability and coalitions that may or may not exist. When policy does get mentioned, it tends to be “X is a strong

leader who can provide a stable economy,” or “X cares about families.” The last time I checked, strength of character was not enough to stave off a recession, and if I wanted a leader to care about me personally, I’d have friended him on Facebook already.

The election machine is working overtime to try

and convince me to vote for X, Y, or Z, but it’s forgotten to give me enough reasons to mark a ballot, period.

So what would make me happier about voting?

A better system and more participation, for starters.

both young children and aging seniors, combating homelessness and fixing problems with health care.

What issue will you prioritize if elected?

I will ensure that I represent the whole community to Ottawa and not the other way around. I will stop the partisan misuse of the MP householder mailed reports. I will advocate strongly on anti-crime issues. I will also change the pattern of negative voting into positive voting, to help our community.

What is your party’s track record on dealing with this issue?

Tommy Douglas, voted the greatest Canadian, and the New Democratic Party established our publicly funded health-care system, and we will continue to work towards sustaining this fair, inclusive system. NDP leader Jack Layton has pledged to take immediate action to address seniors living in poverty and student debt. The NDP caucus has proposed to put in place a national homelessness strategy and to ensure funding for post-secondary education.

If you could be any superhero, which one would you be?

When I was growing up, Captain Canuck was my favourite superhero. Captain Canuck stood up for the disadvantaged and upheld fundamental Canadian values.

What is your party’s track record on dealing with that issue?

The government has passed or tabled many incremental improvements to the justice system to provide the basic tools for public safety, including anti-human smuggling, but sadly, the NDP voted against all of them.

If you could be any superhero, which one would you be?

There are many that we can remember who gave of themselves, as they looked forward to make things better for the next generation.

Locally, my father dedicated his life to help the human condition as a reverend-minister.

He inspired thousands to choose to live better, while he led in the construction of seniors’ low-income housing. Leading by example, and selflessly serving the community is a worthy path for me to follow.

If I could be a superhero, I think

I would like to be Liberalman, modelled after Superman. Then I would be able to fly around doing good, protecting the disadvantaged and punishing evil. I suppose in a way that is how I would see my role as a member of Parliament.

Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of self-repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. It does not contain live human stem cells as these can only be transplanted by surgery and are subject to immunosuppressant drugs to avoid graft rejection.Naturopathic Doctor summarized his experience in writing after using this Stem Cell Activator: Used for all organ and tissue damage, heart attack damage, osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury, muscular #63 dystrophy, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, lupus, spinal injuries, and other diseases and tissue damage. The results have been very satisfactory to us and to the patients and the time varies with different patients depending on the extremity of the damage.

Women witnessing the effects of Bell Stem Cell Activator:

!Women looking for anti-aging help! We all want to slow down aging. After using a bottle of Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 my skin seemed smoother and brighter. My hair looked healthier. It seems to have a cleansing effect. I’m delighted. Leona McCormick, 50, Clgary, AB ! All around healing effect! The first thing I noticed after starting Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 was that my skin feels firmer and stronger. My friends commented that my skin looks more vibrant. My doctor at my yearly physical told me that my blood pressure is significantly lower. Many good things are happening. Joy Davison, 55, Calgary, AB

Acidic Stomach & Acid Reflux

By Dr. C. Hammoud, PhD - Must help or money refunded If your stomach is excessively acidic it means all your cells in your body are acidic. By correcting the excessively acidic stomach you should not need anti-acid pills to control reflux (heartburn). All acidic cells are deprived of oxygen and are the breeding ground for many illnesses including weight gain, diabetes, stress, vascular diseases and cancer. This fact was discovered by Dr. Otto Warburg years ago and he received two Nobel Prizes. You can change your acidic cells in your body by eating 80% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, fruit). Eat 20% acidic food (bread, noodles, rice, animal derived foods). Full details inside the box. If you don’t want to make major #39 changes in your diet, try Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39 guaranteed to bring your body to a pH alkaline balance. Free pH test kit inside the box. Dr. C. Everett Koop M.D. states that 68% of all illnesses and deaths are due to the wrong food and the quantity we eat. Unfortunately, virtually nothing about nutrition or natural health products is taught in medical school say many prominent medical doctors in print and on TV including the well known Dr. Andrew Weil M.D. Go on the internet and inform yourself.

persistently sick. Doctors eventually diagnosed her with a virus that had attacked her heart. She was given a pacemaker and, following more complications and a cardiac arrest, Martell was put on the waitlist for a new heart.

“It was scary to wait, to not know when it was coming, to not know if I was going to make it,” she said.

Then the call came, and Martell was being prepped for surgery within nine hours.

“I was just thrilled that I was able to be here to get married and buy our first house, and then my doctor brought it to my attention that because I was very strong and stable, I could try and have a baby,” she said.

Now, 10 years since the transplant, Martell is the proud mother of a 15-month-old son, Lucas.

Markvoort and photographer Cyrus McEachern captured a photo of Martell five months pregnant and painted a stylized heart on top.

“Being that I was pregnant, we thought it was an extra step for the gift of life,” Martell said.

The image is now used to promote transplant awareness in B.C. Martell implores everyone to become a registered donor. There are 350 British Columbians waiting.

“Going from not knowing if I was going to be here to having a whole family and a life like anyone else, that was an absolute miracle. I’m living proof that someone can go from almost dying to living a life completely,” she said.

“I’m grateful for my donor family. It’s so important to get it done. You may need an organ yourself.”

To register as a donor, visit www.transplant.bc.ca.

Action: Two stunt men jump through and out of a window in a building in downtown New West for the TV series Supernatural during filming last year. 2010 was a busy year for filming in the city, with 61 film permits totalling 113 days of filming.

The city of lights, camera, action

New Westminster is coming off a banner year in film production for the city

BY BRENT RICHTER REPORTER brichter@royalcityrecord.com

2010 was a marquee year for film shoots in New Westminster – the busiest year in recent memory.

According to a report from Scott Harper, the City of New Westminster’s filming coordinator, the city granted 61 film permits in 2010 for everything from bigbudget Hollywood movies to TV pilots and commercials, totalling 113 days of filming and bringing in $476,746 in fees.

In 2009, the city granted 50 permits for 86 days of filming and brought in $279,995 in permit revenue.

“It’s a combination of things. The economy is better. Vancouver in general is just busier with filming,” Harper said. “It’s probably because people are getting to

know that New Westminster is an easy place to film in and they’re coming here as a result.”

Harper said other factors that play in to the ebb and flow of film activity in New West include the value of the Canadian dollar, provincial tax exemptions, filming industry collective agreement status, available studio space and script content.

Harper said location managers often pick New West because certain areas can “be” other famous cities like downtown, which bears some resemblance to San Francisco, or Front Street, which can pose as New York City.

Harper said there is no accurate way to rank B.C. municipalities on film activity but in revenues, New West placed third in 2010 behind Richmond and Vancouver.

A big portion of 2010’s windfall seems to have come from one high profile flick – This Means War, a romantic comedy staring A-listers Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hardy and Chris Pine.

Permit revenues from the movie exceed-

ed $250,000.

This Means War spent several days shooting downtown last November, including a scene with a car crashing through the Front Street parkade. The movie, set for release later this year, is about two lifelong friends engaging in battle when they fall for the same woman.

Other notables from last year included Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2, The Big Year, Supernatural and Hellcats.

The City of New Westminster markets itself for filming through a network of film industry resources, looking to bring in permit revenues and the spinoff business a film shoot brings.

The result of film revenue for the city means property taxes are about 0.5 to one per cent lower than they would be otherwise, Harper said.

“This value does not consider the nonpermit economic multiplier effect, for example, goods or services purchased while filming or wages paid to staff who reside in the community and, in turn, fur-

ther stimulate the local economy,” he said.

“A past B.C. Film Commission study estimated that the economic spinoff of filming in New Westminster was $8 million and is approximately $1.2 billion in British Columbia, of which, 96 per cent is spent in Metro Vancouver.”

While neighbourhood conflicts can pop as a result of film shoots, Harper said: “In my opinion there are few, if any, drawbacks to hosting film companies. There are some inconveniences, to be sure, but overall the inconveniences are far outweighed by the positive spinoffs,” he said. “My job is to mitigate impacts as much as possible.

One example of this is encouraging film companies to lessen their overall footprint in the various neighbourhoods they choose to film in.”

Harper said it is too soon to say what 2011 holds for filming, but he has hopes for some more big-budget Hollywood casts to role through town.

“I think it’s going to be another great year,” he said.

Growing chefs in the city

Queen Elizabeth Elementary School students are the first Royal City kids to participate in a program offered by Family Services of Greater Vancouver.

The environmental, educational and multicultural program has a goal of teaching children about gardening and cooking skills with healthy, nutritious, slow food, all while applying the three Rs of reduce, reuse and recycle. This program is a community partnership with Growing Chefs and Explore A Green World. It’s run with the support of the United Way. Growing Chefs is a classroom gardening program where chef volunteers, facilitators and teachers are paired with school classrooms to give students hands-on experience growing and cooking their own food.

During the course of three-and-a-half months, the team visits the classroom every two weeks, helping the students plant and tend to indoor vegetable gardens.

The chefs and facilitators engage the students in games, lessons and activities focusing on plant growth, local and urban agriculture, sustainability and nutrition.

Thestudentsharvesttheir vegetables, and the chefs teach them to cook delicious, healthy meals with what they have grown.

Explore a Green World is an environmental, multicultural and educational program that educates young children and their families and communities about the importance of reducing, reusing, recycling and protecting our environment.

A TRIBUTE

to individuals who have enriched our community

I am pleased to be a part of the Citizen of the Year and Bernie Legge Cultural Awards for 2011. As a Board Member of the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce, a business person with RE/ MAX Advantage NW, a long-time resident of this city and a local volunteer, I’ve had the good fortune to meet many people over the years, who dedicate countless hours to the betterment of this City.

In my every day life, I have often been pleasantly surprised by the level of commitment people demonstrate in their efforts to make positive contributions to our community. The Citizen of the Year Award Nominees lend their support, care and compassion to a variety of causes while the Bernie Legge Cultural Award Nominees contribute to the arts and creativity in our community. I’m pleased that these Awards exist to recognize the selflessness and giving nature of so many amazing individuals.

It is my honour to be Chair of the Citizen of the Year and Bernie Legge Cultural Awards Committee this year. Good Luck to all 2010 Award Nominees and thank you for enhancing the living experience here in New Westminster.

Sincerely, Patti Goss,

Chair New Westminster Chamber of Commerce

2009 Citizen of the Year

When I was nominated last year, I felt honoured and overwhelmed.

WhenIheardthatIwasthewinner, I was even more overwhelmed - absolutely flabbergasted! I couldn’t believe it!

Lori Pappajohn 2009 Bernie Legge Cultural Award

Look inside.What do you see? Do you have time to look inside? Or are you busy rushing to work, driving kids to soccer, standing in line at the grocery store, meeting office

I had been nominated once before and hadn’t won so I really didn’t expect it. I knew from before, that the winner has a chance to say a few words so (just in case), I had prepared a little speech. Even so, when they called my name, I was so surprised, I forgot all about it. I didn’t know what to say. I remember thanking the person who nominated me and thanking the committee but that’s about it. Being nominated was such an honour but winning was unbelieveable!

Since then, I’ve had my picture in the paper so many times.

I’d had my picture in there

deadlines, fighting rush hour traffic … Every now and then we need to look inside. That is part of a civilized society.

So much of art and culture is an examination, a reflection. Movies, plays and musicals tell us stories about ourselves.

Think of Schindler’s List.

Paintings and sculptures reflect the life around us. Think of the great European war paintings.

Poems and stories mirror who we are or who we should or shouldn’t be.

At least one book should have made a profound impression on your life. If you can’t say this – search deeper. Or start with the book How the Irish Saved Civilization or the book Why the Greeks Matter.

Art is also a diversion – a time to laugh, a time to leave behind our

before but now it says “Citizen of the Year”. I’m really glad because I think it’s given more awareness to the Food Bank and Homelessness and we really need to do that. Lots of times now, when people come to the Food Bank, they’ll look up on the wall and see the Newspaper clipping with my picture. They’ll read it and say, “Hey, that’s you!” It’s a good kind of feeling.

People I run into sometimes comment on my being “Citizen of the Year”. It’s really nice to be recognized (even though I was never looking for any recognition) and to feel like

troubles for a short while – or laugh at our troubles like Fawlty Towers.

Culture is who we are.

It is an education and an understanding that includes philosophy and history. We have an opportunity to start understanding who we are as individuals and as a society when we stop and pause and look inside.And it is the artists who can frame those moments for us.

I was asked to write about the highlights of my year as the Bernie Legge Cultural Award Winner.

The biggest highlight is that the award exists at all – that culture is recognized in the Royal City. That even if we don’t fully understand why, we pay homage to it. And I thank the New Westminster Chamber of

I’m doing a good job and that people notice it - It’s a feather in my cap.

My son says he’s happy for me and that “It’s about time I got some reward!” I kind of think that my reward is waiting for me in heaven.

One thing I did this year that was a lot of fun, is participate in the Hyack Parade in May. I never would have done that if I wasn’t “Citizen of the Year”!

I’d just like to thank people very much for this honour and for all of their support. I’m looking forward to going to this year’s Awards Banquet on April 27th. in the Hyack Grande Parade. Being born in New Westminster, I first attended the parade in a stroller. As a youngster watching the parade each year – the fantastic marching bands, the magical floats, the prancing horses, the clowns – I never dreamed that one day I’d be in the parade.

All in all I thoroughly enjoyed my year as the Bernie Legge Cultural Award winner. It means a lot to me to have won the award and to know that the award is there as a continual reminder that our society values culture – and understands the incredible depth that culture brings to each one of us.

So, read a book. Go to a play. Buy a painting. And above all – look inside.

Commerce for creating such an award.

I would also like to say that I have always been impressed with the dedicated group of people in New Westminster focused on promoting the arts.

The wonderfulVagabond Players come to mind with their charming theatrenestledinQueen’s Park. Then there is the New Westminster Arts Council with its members who have worked so hard over the years and soldiered on despite the many challenges that face the arts. Also, there is Royal City Musical Theatre – one of the best in Canada. Now I’ll stop mentioning names, for if I continue I’m bound to miss some.

One highlight that I must mention was being

Royal City in running for heritage prize

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Heritage B.C. has nominated the Royal City for the prestigious Prince of Wales Prize.

The prize is awarded annually to one Canadian municipality that has demonstrated a strong and sustained commitment to the conservation of its historic places.

Victoria won the award in 2001, which was the last time the award went to a municipality in B.C. “New Westminster can be very proud of its leadership in heritage conservation over the last century-and-a-half,” said a staff report about the nomination.

“Together with the community, the city’s heritage program continues to be innovative, dedicated and successful. Hopefully Heritage Canada will agree.”

The submission package to Heritage Canada includes information showing that the commitment to heritage in New Westminster is shared between the City of New Westminster and the community.

“It is very exciting,” said Julie Schueck, the city’s heritage planner. “Heritage B.C.

in

nominated us. I am really excited about it.”

The Prince of Wales (Prince Charles) has been known to present the award himself.

“Whenever his schedule allows, they try to arrange the presentation so he is there. He was there in 2009 in Edmonton,” Schueck said. “It is a big to-do. It is something he himself feels very strongly about.

It is one of his interests.”

Coun. Bob Osterman is ecstatic about the nomination and believes the submission about New Westminster is phenomenal.

“We are very proud of our heritage,” he said. “We are very committed to really promoting it.”

Osterman believes that winning the Prince of Wales Heritage Prize would give New Westminster heritage stature in North America and would also assist in tourism promotion. As the owner of a wartime bungalow that’s listed on the heritage register, he personally hopes to attend the workshop.

“It’s not simply the big, beautiful homes of Queen’s Park,” he said about heritage. “It’s everywhere. It’s Sapperton, it’s Queensborough.”

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

A crack of the bat: Markus Zacharuk went three-for-three at the plate, including this solid contact for the New Westminster Twins major Little League team in an 11-2 victory over the South Vancouver Yankees in a District 6 baseball game at Justin Morneau Field on Sunday.

The Northwest Giants are the only undefeated team left at the Telus Cup. The Giants fought back from a pair of one-goal leads to defeat the host St. John’s Privateers 4-3 at the Canadian national midget hockey championships Wednesday.

First-year forward Jackson Houck tied the game 3-3 early in the third period.

Houck then set up Sam Reinhart for the game-winning tally six minutes later to give the Giants their slimmest margin of victory at the national championships to date.

In a late pre-deadline result, the Giants clinched a spot in the semifinals following a 4-2 win over the Lions du Lac St-Louis on Thursday.

Giants captain Mitch Fyffe of New Westminster scored in the third period.

Alex Kerfoot, who earned his second consecutive player of the game honour in the win, led off the scoring against St. John’s with his tourna-

ment-leading sixth goal of the championships.

Reinhart currently leads all scorers with 18 points in four games, one more than Kerfoot. Houck is next with seven points.

Joel Issigonis knotted the score at 2-2 midway through the middle frame.

Scott Legault chalked up his second win between the pipes for the Giants.

The Giants other keeper, Daniel Cotton, currently leads all goalies with a sparkling 0.955 save percentage while boasting a 1.29 goals against average.

After opening the competition with a 12-5 pounding of west region champion Winnipeg Thrashers, the Giants then dumped the Atlantic champs Halifax Titans 6-1 on Tuesday.

Kerfoot led the way with a hat trick in a fivepoint outing.

Reinhart chipped in with his fourth goal of the championships in the opening period.

Sean Lan, Cam Marks and Alex McNeil also scored for the Pacific region champions. ◗Giants Page 21

Jr. ’Bellies have big expectations this year

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Salmonbellies are ‘big’ on the upcoming B.C. Junior Lacrosse League season.

Last year’s league runner-up and Minto Cup participant is one year older and will be inches and pounds bigger across the board than last year’s squad, said Salmonbellies defensive coach Ray Porcellato.

“The team looks good all the way round, but you still have to go out and play,” said Porcellato. “We’re very solid in net and our defensive core, I like to refer to as ‘murderer’s row.’”

The back end will be led by two current National Lacrosse League pros, Reid Mydske and Travis Irving, who was drafted No. 9 overall by the east divisionleading Buffalo Bandits.

Alongside those two will be leaders Jeff Sproule and T.J. Cowx, who both enter their final year of junior eligibility.

Holdout to Rocks

The Western Lacrosse Association Burnaby Lakers traded holdout Jamie Shewchuk to the Victoria Shamrocks for a first-round pick on Tuesday.

Shewchuk was Burnaby’s first-round pick in 2006, drafted fifth overall after two previous seasons with the junior A Lakers, including a Minto Cup ring in 2005. Shewchuk led the B.C. junior league in scoring in his final season.

The Edmonton native is playing in his fifth season in the National Lacrosse League, currently with the Minnesota Swarm,.

Shewchuk scored 126 goals and garnered 293 points with both the Swarm and the Colorado Mammoth.

Last season, Shewchuk led the Mammoth in scoring with 66 points before being dealt to Minnesota earlier this year.

St. Thomas More’s Lexie Der is on the shortlist for Basketball B.C.’s high school girls’ player of the year.

Winners will be named on April 30.

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Cadet champ: Burnaby South Secondary junior Melvin Arciaga will compete at the Pan American wrestling championships in Mexico in August after winning gold at the recent Canadian cadet freestyle championships earlier this month.

Rugby 7s coming back to district this summer Burnaby will again be the place to be for rugby 7s this summer.

Two of the six stops on this summer’s B.C. Rugby series schedule will be held in the city.

Simon Fraser University will host its annual Highland tournament on

Burnaby Mountain on July 16.

The Burnaby Lake Rugby Club will put on the Lighthouse sevens for a second year at Central Valley East on Aug. 6.

Burnaby Lake won both the men’s and women’s divisions last season.

To date, the Giants power play has been very effective, scoring 10 times in 17 opportunities with the extra man.

The team has been even better killing penalties, allowing just two goals and stopping the combined opposition more than 81 per cent of the time.

The Giants finished off the round-robin against Central champion London Jr. Knights on Friday, also played after Record deadlines.

The top four placing teams face off in today’s semifinals (Saturday).

The medal games follow on the Sunday, with the gold-medal contest scheduled to be broadcast on TSN at 11:30 a.m. Pacific time.

Locals to u-16 B.C. hoop team St. Thomas More Collegiate’s Brooke Briscoe and Kamila Wojciechowski were named to the Basketball B.C. under-16 girls’ provincial team on April 18.

It is with heavy hearts we announce Dad’s passing, peacefully, and with family at his side.

He is deeply loved by his wife Georgina, son Ken (Susan) and daughter Pamela. Survived by brothers Ernie (Lil) and Hubert (Helen); grandchildren Jeffrey (Vicki) Letourneau and Nathan (Tania) Letourneau and 4 great-grandchildren. Our beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend will be missed by all who knew him.

Dad was born in New Westminster and raised in Port Moody, the eldest of 5 boys. Growing up in Port Moody, Dad met the love of his life, Georgina Ostegard. World War II in 1939 interrupted their courtship, as Dad enlisted and served 5 years with the Royal Westminster Regiment, 5th Canadian Armoured Division in Europe. Dad returned in 1946 and they were married in Port Moody. Georgina and Bill celebrate 65 years of marriage in 2011. Dad joined the New Westminster City Police in 1953 and retired 35 years later.

Dad won many Pistol Shooting Competitions throughout his Police Career, but he was never a hunter. He loved fishing, gardening, cooking, stone carving, big band orchestra music, dancing and driving his car.

Dad loved people and a good cup of coffee. But most of all, Dad loved his family, and his sweetheart Georgie. We’ll be seeing you Dad! Cheerio!

Dad’s family would like to express much gratitude to the nurses, staff and volunteers and all the special people at Burquitlam Lions Care Centre for their gentle care and support over the past two years.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Burquitlam Lions Care Centre, 560 Sydney Avenue, Coquitlam, BC V3K 6A4 is appreciated.

Memorial service to be held on Saturday, April 23, 2011 at 1:00pm at St. Mary’s the Virgin Church, 121 East Columbia Street, New Westminster (Sapperton).

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Delays end. You can charge ahead on new fronts. You’ve already entered a brand new world – it is sleek, clear, alive, even nervous, and within this new world, friends, ideas, inventiveness and fun are more important than money.

You’re going to have fun Sunday to Tuesday – and for eight years! Your freedom is growing. The shy, quiet, dreamy and elusive friends of the past decade fall away, to be replaced by bright, sharp-minded types.

This week, this “peeling off” causes a relationship disappointment. For the month ahead, chase money, seek higher earnings, cultivate new clients.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness rise strongly! The delays of April have ended. Start new projects, see and be seen, tackle chores that previously intimidated you.

Despite this surge of energy, one part of you remains contemplative, and is tied in to private matters, quiet planning sessions, government liaisons, etc. Your real “break out” will come in June, when a year of huge luck will commence! Meanwhile, be ambitious Sunday/Monday – luck is with you. Watch legal, ethical factors all week. Change is needed here.

Happiness midweek! Retreat, rest Friday/Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Recent delays end, but indecision continues unless you make choices based on gentle love, foreign travel/contacts, culture and intellectual pursuits, which all draw you nicely Sunday to Tuesday. The weeks ahead emphasize rest, contemplation, solitude. Retreat, plan, prepare and fulfil obligations. Contact government agencies, institutions, charitable organizations. Your spiritual side grows – and might become, June onward, a significant relationship factor. If your hopes about a special person are disappointed, alter love goals. Be ambitious Wednesday. “Half happiness” late week.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your future looks bright!

Optimism, new hopes, friends, wishes, entertainment and light romance come waltzing in. You’ll enjoy the weeks ahead – even more so because your position in the world is on the rise, your ambitions meet luck.

Recent warnings about not starting anything new are now over. Sunday to Tuesday feature changes, big finances, commitments, sexual urges, lifestyle changes and health diagnosis, all productively. A partner or competitor isn’t thrilled with you, though, so proceed cautiously – all week. Gentle love might point to the right mate for you midweek!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The emphasis for the next few weeks will be on ambition, prestige relationships, your status in the world. All looks fairly smooth here, no big highs nor deep lows. Meanwhile, your expansion (usually lucky) in love, legal, intellectual, international and cultural zones continues, especially Friday/Saturday – but work or health demands, or your caution, can interfere. Recent delays end, so charge ahead with new ideas, relationships and projects, especially Sunday to Tuesday, when exciting meetings and prospects arise!

Research, financial and sexual commitments are favoured midweek.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A mellow, understanding vibe fills the weeks ahead. This promotes gentle love, far travel, intellectual pursuits, legal and cultural affairs, education and publishing. Recent delays dissolve; you no longer need to avoid new projects.

Tackle chores Sunday to Tuesday – everything runs smoothly. One caution: the first half of this week might cause a barrier in income zones, or a conflict between sexual desire and ethics. This continues more softly, “workably” the last half. You face different relationships now to 2025, in love, business, with the public – think “enchanted.”

ORIGIN HOME FINANCIAL PARTNERS Matt Sadler - www.mattsadler.ca

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: A month of mystery, depths, investment, financial manoeuvres, intimacy, commitment, lifestyle changes, health diagnosis and detective work lies ahead. Your life might change.

You’re in a powerful and unpredictable relationship trend. So far (early 2011) this might have been more talk than action, but this week and May could cement you in the age-old way. Don’t expect smooth sailing for eight years – but do expect excitement! Whatever occurs this month could “return” in a hugely lucky way June 2011-June 2012. Romance, Sunday-Tuesday.

But you must change! “Security” sabotages.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The weeks ahead emphasize relationships and opportunities. Be diplomatic, eager and willing. Don’t stubbornly cling to an outmoded position, especially at work or in health areas. Recent delays and indecisiveness end – charge ahead, especially on work and machinery fronts. A co-worker might oppose you, although the opposition’s subtle, might exist “between the lines” in a conversation or email, etc. You’ll win such a struggle, but might lose a friend: i.e., win the battle, lose the war. Be forgiving! Home, rest are both sweet Sunday to Tuesday. Romance, beauty call midweek.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: You’re in the midst of a lucky, pleasure-filled, scholastic, romantic, creative surge! (January to June.) But the four weeks ahead emphasize work, health, machinery, duties and dependents. Ah, well – it will run smoothly, anyway.

(Except, perhaps, for a wee struggle around midweek when life dictates that you must choose between love and money – with money exercising the most influence. This, of course, steers you back toward work.) Recent delays and indecision pass now. Travel, errands and paperwork fill SundayTuesday. Home, midweek. Romance late week – sober, then strong!

Classified On-Line

Apr. 24 - April 30 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Recent delays end.

Charge forward with new ventures, relationships and situations. The weeks ahead emphasize romance, speculation, risks, good luck, children, beauty, creativity, pleasure and sports – you’ll ride a winning streak! You face a choice now: on one side are your ambition, your natural personality; on the other lies love. If the love is in your home, you become protective, nurturing. If the love is “outside,” you might unconsciously press it, to end it. Chase money Sunday-Tuesday. Casual friends, talk, travel midweek.

Home, security Friday/Saturday – buy it!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead accent security, domesticity, rest (hibernation) gardening, nutrition, soul, stomach, Mother Nature.

Look over your retirement fund/plans, protect your children and their future, repair the house, etc. And settle back every once in a while to observe what you’re doing – present interests and inclinations hold a clue to where the riches lie in a very lucky period on the horizon – June 2011 to June 2012. That time might bring a new, better home, the end of an oppressive situation, a child, good things! Your energy and charisma rise nicely Sunday to Tuesday.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Delays end – so do mistakes, and wrong-headed money decisions.

If needed, correct, alter course now. If you need a guide, look at your long-term future, envision it, where you want to be, and reconsider, alter money directions to suit that future. This works best midweek. The Thursday-Saturday period emphasizes a slightly different money trend: your earnings versus your net worth, debts, ability to “grow.” (E.g., do I work for wages or start a business?) You might start something that will grow big in money areas! Retreat early week. Your energy, charisma soar midweek. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
