Mayor backs billion-dollar bridge plan Wayne Wright supports TransLink’s decision to build a new Pattullo Bridge BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
The on-again, off-again plan to replace the aging Pattullo Bridge with a new crossing is on again. TransLink was set to hold public consultation meetings about plans to replace Pattullo Bridge last fall but postponed

It’s a negative business case.” Hardie said TransLink may still decide to go with a four-lane option but is ◗Bridge Page 4

Webcam focuses on park Viewers can watch the construction all day BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
Royal City residents can follow the Westminster Pier Park construction project without leaving home. The City of New Westminster has launched a webcam looking out over the Westminster Pier Park construction site along the Fraser River. Accessible through the city’s website, the webcam provides updated images of the park construction every 10 minutes during daylight hours. “Up until now, the Westminster Pier Park site has looked much like any other heavy construction site in Metro Vancouver,” said Mayor Wayne Wright in a news release. “As we move towards completion in the fall, the park is really going to take shape and we wanted to share that progress with people whether they are here in New Westminster or further away.” Construction of Westminster Pier Park began in fall of 2009, after the City of New Westminster received $16.6 million in funding from the federal and provincial governments under the Build Canada Fund. Much of the work completed to date has included site preparation, environmental remediation, piling installation, wharf demolition and decking construction and installation of services. “Moving into the warmer weather, we’ll see much of the actual park construction activity come together,” said project manager Dugal Purdie. “Earthworks, park building construction and landscaping will really show how beautiful the new park will be once it’s finished in the fall. With the new webcam, anyone with an interest can watch during daylight hours and see how the park is progressing.” The future Westminster Pier Park will be located on the waterfront between Sixth and Elliott streets. It will include a 600-metre boardwalk that connects to the existing ◗Webcam Page 4

Death in the streets: The body of a yet-to-be-identified man lies in the middle of South Dyke Road at Jardine Street Wednesday morning. The body was reported to New Westminster Police Service at 4 a.m.
Body found on Queensborough street
New Westminster police are in the process of identifying the man found dead in Queensborough, early Wednesday morning and are trying to figure out how he died. Const. Bruce Carrie said the body was removed from the scene around 10:15 a.m. on Wednesday to be prepped for an autopsy. “I would expect an autopsy will be done today,” Carrie said on Thursday.
New Westminster’s major crimes unit was called to the scene around 4 a.m. Wednesday, when someone spotted the body in the middle of South Dyke Road at Jardine Street. Carrie said there was no obvious cause of death after an initial investigation of the scene. Carrie said it is too early in the investigation to determine if foul play is involved.
He added there would not likely be any more information released until police have taken care of a few basic steps. “It’s matter of confirming identity and notifying next-of-kin. That would be normal protocol,” he said. The incident had South Dyke Road closed off in both directions after the body was found. brichter@royalcityrecord.com
Politicos on the bus for centre? Councillors may take a tour and check out materials for new downtown civic centre BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
New Westminster city council will take a field trip to complete its homework assignment on the future multiuse civic centre. Architects working on the civic centre gave city council an update Monday about the designs, which have been honed since their recent visit to the city’s design panel. The architects presented three design schemes for council’s review, all variations on a similar design. “There is still more design
development to go into this,” said Roger Hughes, a principal at Hughes Condon Marler Architects. “It still has to be tweaked.’’ The architects also showed council some of the materials being considered for the civic centre – limestone, brick, zinc and basalt. Mayor Wayne Wright suggested council should take a bus trip to visit buildings in the region that have used those materials. He said council will do its homework and look at different buildings where the proposed materials have been used. In the meantime, architects will concentrate on fine-tuning a nautical version of the civic centre’s design and will compile information related to costs associated to some aspects of the
design. Coun. Jaimie McEvoy said he likes the nautical theme design that’s proposed for the civic centre. “I like the theme of that evoking the river, trying to reestablish that connection,” he said. The City of New Westminster has referred to the building as the Multi Use Civic Facility. Drawings show “New Westminster MUCF” appearing on the front of the centre, which will be located at 777 Columbia St. “It won’t mean anything to half the people living in New Westminster,” McEvoy said of the term, MUCF. Joanne Edey-Nicoll, the city’s assistant director of parks, culture and recreation, said staff has always envisioned that as a
working title, not the finished name of the facility. The city’s portion of the civic centre, which will be located on Columbia Street between Eighth and Begbie streets, will include a theatre, convention space, art studios, an art gallery, tourist information centre, the city’s museum and archives, the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame and a restaurant. The city has partnered with the Uptown Property Group, which will build an office tower of up to eight storeys above the civic centre. The City of New Westminster negotiated $35 million in gaming funds to build the multiuse civic facility in downtown New Westminster. The contract stipulates that the facility must be built by December 2013.

proceeding with the initial plan for six lanes. While TransLink hasn’t made a decision about whether the new crossing would be tolled, the city supports it being tolled so motorists don’t avoid tolled crossings and use the un-tolled Pattullo Bridge. “That bridge has to be tolled like any other bridge so it is equalized across the Lower Mainland,” Wright said.

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.

TransLink stalled the planning process for a new bridge after some provincial engineers indicated that opportunities for rehabilitation to the existing structure exist and should be considered. It was also suggested that refurbishing the existing bridge could cost less and may reduce the potential for tolls on another Surrey crossing. – with files from Kelly Sinoski, The Vancouver Sun

◗ VICTORIA HILL
City following up on Grove power outage BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
The City of New Westminster has no worries about a recent incident that cut power to several buildings at the Victoria Hill site. Residents of four buildings at the Grove were without power on March 10 after a contractor excavating at the site cut underground power cables about 8:30 a.m. Power was restored about 11:30 p.m. Some residents expressed concern that the buildings had no emergency lights in place after the power was cut. “The emergency systems in those buildings are meant to last one-half hour,” said Frank Durante, the city’s manager of buildings and inspections. “That is the time frame.” Because the building was left in darkness and its fire detection systems were down, New Westminster Fire and Rescue Services requested that the property manager enact a fire watch. “The reason the fire watch was on is the fire systems run on the emergency systems,” said Durante, noting they weren’t operational after 30 minutes. “After that, there is no detection of fire. The sprinkler
system is still functioning. The building would be fire safe, but there was no fire detection.” As a result of the incident, the property manager had to evacuate the buildings or provide a fire watch, which meant someone had to be onsite at all times. Residents wanting to access their homes had to show identification at the door and use a flashlight to navigate their way through the darkened staircases and hallways. The incident occurred during an excavation for the final two buildings in the Grove, a nine-building development at Victoria Hill. The City of New Westminster, which operates its own electrical utility, supplied Onni with some of the high-voltage cable and materials needed to make the repairs to get service back up and running. “The Safety Authority will have to come into play,” Durante said. “They have to come and make sure everything (wiring) is connected properly.” According to Durante, all of the fire alarm systems in the four buildings will have to be reverified. “That report will be coming to us,” he said. “That will be done by the developer.”

Glass half full or political spin? IN THE HOUSE KEITH BALDREY
S
ome idle musings, informed speculation and complete guesswork as the political scene takes a bit of a breather after two leadership races, one election and one big byelection: ◗ They are both glass-half-full types, I guess: Premier Christy Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix were crowing with glee after last week’s byelection result. Clark won, of course, by a fairly narrow margin and became the first government candidate to win a byelection in 30 years. But I suspect she wasn’t expecting such a close result when she initially set the byelection date, and I can tell you there was a lot of nervousness at her campaign headquarters as the votes were being counted. Dix, on the other hand, insisted the NDP had scored a “great victory” even though its candidate, David Eby, had lost. If anything, both political leaders took home the prize for best “spinning” attempts for the week. ◗ The premier may want to calm down her itchy trigger finger when it comes to calling a general election. I’m not sure her party is really prepared to fight another election so soon after the last one. She says she’s looking at the
fall for a vote, but her party’s finances need shoring up (which will undoubtedly occur over time as the business community views Dix with considerable alarm) and she presumably needs more time to find credible, attractive candidates. The NDP is in the same boat, which may factor into her timing, but if the polls don’t indicate a solid, substantial lead for her party, an early election may backfire on her. ◗ Another piece of advice for the new premier: spend more time actually being the premier before expecting the electorate to endorse you come election time. Clark earned publicity for doing such things as working as a waitress in a diner, and going on a ride-along with some cops, but people are looking for statesmanlike qualities in a premier as much as a penchant for the “common touch.” ◗ Are our Crown corporations about to be reined back under more government control? Already, the government has announced a review of B.C. Hydro’s plan to increase its rates by more than 30 per cent, and now ICBC’s idea of linking insurance rates to a single speeding ticket has been deep-sixed by the government. But the fact that both corporations were able to get so far along a path that would potentially reach deep into many people’s pockets makes one wonder what else is lurking out there, away from the prying eyes of cabinet. Next on the list: B.C.
Columnist was ill-informed Dear Editor:
How surprising that Postmedia Network Inc. and The Record would print a column by a so-called reporter who is as ill-informed as Matthew Claxton in his opinion piece, The real truth about “private” schools (The Record, In My Opinion, May 13). He obviously has an axe to grind on this subject, but he should do his homework. Yes, since the ’70s, independent, often religiousbased schools have received public funding up to 50 per cent of the same amount as public schools, depending on whether they are a Group 1 or a Group 2 classification. These monies are earmarked for the “education” of the students. The schools are 100 per cent responsible for their own capital costs and for making up the other 50 to 70 per cent. These latter financial requirements are met by tuition, fundraising, donations, bequests and, in the case of religious schools, by subsidies from those ◗Politics Page 7 organizations and communities.
Among other things, the capital costs for a school include land acquisition, construction, building and structural maintenance. Try buying a piece of land or constructing even a modest-sized building! And government-mandated all-day kindergarten will require huge capital costs. In addition to these costs there are the ongoing expenses – things that are taken for granted by public schools, such as janitorial, gardening, snow removal, secretarial and administration. Yes, some families do make huge sacrifices to send their children to schools independent of the public system. They may have to forgo some of the expensive sports, music or dance lessons or other entertainment in order to pay the tuition. They may have to make do with a single vehicle; their children may have to take public transit to school. But the schools often offer subsidies to assist lower- income families, including single-parent ones. (One school in my neighbourhood fully subsidizes 15 families out of 335 students, many of them with multiple children.) Other families may in fact be able to afford the

tuition without any subsidies. Whatever the case, all families are required to pull together to help with the operation of the school. They are assigned participation tasks: work bees, gardening, painting, clearing the sidewalks of ice and snow, playground and field trip supervision. They get together to perform fundraising, which helps in building the spirit of community . But let’s remember that the students of independent schools are children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and sometimes younger siblings of taxpayers. And, as taxpayers in British Columbia (unlike in some other provinces) they have no say as to which system their tax dollars are directed. So, as to your plan, Mr. Claxton: “we cut off all those not-so-private schools from the public teat … and we see if they can sink or swim.” What of all the taxes collected from the aforementioned taxpayers? Would you be comfortable if 100 per cent of their education taxes went towards the schools outside of the public system? And, if that was not the case and the independent schools did in fact “sink,” where will you put the thousands of students displaced by your actions? There’s no room for them in the public system.The notion is absurd. Linder-Marie Jones, New Westminster
Farmers’ market a winner
Dear Editor:
The Royal City Farmers Market begins its season on Thursday, June 9, and I look forward with anticipation to another year filled with fun and conversations. We have been vendors for two years, and the Royal City Farmers Market is a favourite, In this busy time, it is so easy to drive to the supermarket to shop at breakneck speed
in an effort to get our grocery needs met as quickly as possible. This sets up an experience that easily becomes rote and disconnected. It is simply a task rather than an event. In contrast, the trip to the local farmers’ market will rekindle enthusiasm for shopping and create opportunities to be connected to the community. Here you can meet friends and neighbours, stop for a chat over a coffee or snack. Each market has live entertainment and activities for the children that make them festive. From my stand, I enjoy watching the people at the market engage in conversations and make connections. I take pleasure in meeting our committed visitors every week and chatting with visitors from all parts of the globe. In the blazing sun or relentless rain, the farmers’ market has a spirit that endures all weather. I have many great memories of events that have happened during the market and I will never forget the little boy, grief-stricken, as he dropped the blueberries he had just bought. Hundreds of blueberries rolling down the hill looking more like an invasion of small insects. Then, I watched the scurry of people rushing about picking them up, to the relief of the child. The Royal City Farmers Market is also unique because of the committed volunteers that help us every week. They see the value of the farmers’ market for their community and share the enthusiasm that I have. Well before the opening, they are eagerly helping to unload the vendors’ trucks. On the hot days they bring by ice water to quench our thirst or offer to watch our stalls if we need a break. I value their commitment. Royal City Farmers Market is vibrant and full of life, and it is the contact with others that makes the market so endearing. I enjoy the relationships I have established with the farmers’ market society, the dedicated visitors and my fellow vendors. See you soon. Doug Lowe, Greendale Herb and Vine, Chilliwack
Politics: Questions for B.C. leaders ◗ continued from page 6
Ferries and the size of its government subsidy (which directly affects ferry fares). ◗ Will the business community, much of which favours the HST, finally get involved in a major campaign to save the tax? Companies that find the tax works to their benefit should be explaining that fact to its employees and encouraging them to vote for it. So far, I haven’t seen much evidence of that. ◗The legislative session will end soon – in early June – and so far, it hasn’t exactly created sparks or much energy. The NDP
hasn’t really done much in question period, which has become on most days a shout fest over the HST and not much else. Maybe the party is saving its ammo for when the new premier finally takes her seat. ◗ Did new B.C. Conservative Party leader John Cummins doom his party’s future with his dumb comments on how people “choose” to be straight or gay? They made him look like the stereotypical right-wing fringe politician, the kind that has ensured that party remained completely marginalized in the past. I’m not sure he can fully
recover from that gaffe, which would be very good news for the B.C. Liberals, who can’t afford any votesplitting on the political right. ◗ On the federal scene, it will be worth watching to see if the new NDP Opposition begins to kowtow to Quebec’s interests on some issues (such as seat distribution) potentially at the expense of B.C.’s interests (the party was once dominated and influenced by the West, but now more than half its caucus comes from Quebec).

Share memories of Royal City’s uptown with future planning initiatives. “We have done six neighbourhoods so far,” said heritage planner Julie Schueck. “It identifies and explains the major factors that shape and influence a neighbourhood. Identifying those we can determine what the values are in a neighbourhood.” Instead of having a professional drive through the neighbourhood and identify heritage markers, the city meets with residents and gets their recollections. Examples may include memories of a certain family that had a picnic each July 1 or a neighbourhood that held an annual block

THERESA MCMANUS
f you have any memories of New Westminster’s uptown you want to share, the city’s planning department is hoping to hear from you. The planning department is working to create a neighbourhood historic context statement for each of the city’s residential neighbourhoods to help
party. “That allows us to come up with subgroups of themes that are important to a neighbourhood,” Schueck said “We go to the people and say, ‘what is important to your neighbourhood?’ It’s fabulous. It’s a really, really great way of doing things.” The memory-sharing experience for the uptown neighbourhood is taking place on Thursday, May 26 at 11 a.m. in the Fir Room at Century House. Attendees will sit around a table and share their memories. “The dynamics were fantastic,” Schueck said of the Brow of the Hill neigh-
bourhood session. “At the end they said, ‘that was really fun.’”
Cadet review
The Royal Westminster Regiment 2316 Royal Canadian Army Cadets are inviting community members to attend their annual cadet review. The event will take place on Monday, May 30 at 7 p.m. at the Armoury at 530 Queens Ave. “There will be a parade, inspection and march-past, followed by demonstrations and displays showcasing what the cadets have learned and achieved during the training year: first aid, drill, physical fit-
ness, recce, training and leadership,” said Capt. Bob Chessell in an email to The Record. “The aim of cadets is to promote citizenship and leadership, physical fitness and awareness of the contributions made by the Canadian Forces.”
Be prepared
If the recent devastating earthquakes in Japan and New Zealand have made you think a little more seriously about emergency planning, two upcoming sessions may appeal to you. The City of New Westminster is hosting two public safety and personal
preparedness presentations where people can learn what to do before, during and after an earthquake. People will be able to learn what to put in a home emergency kit and how to learn about hazardous risks. The free seminars are taking place on Tuesday, May 24 and Thursday, May 26 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the emergency operations centre at New Westminster city hall. To register for the sessions, which are limited to 40 people per session, call 604-515-3797. Do you have an item for Around Town? Email Theresa, tmcmanus@royalcityrecord. com.
Giving back to community leads to award A former chair of the Justice Institute of B.C. has been honoured with a B.C. Community Achievement Award. Bob Stewart has been recognized for his exemplary service as chief of police for the City of Vancouver, founder of several lasting institutions and board member and volunteer with a half-dozen charities. Stewart was given the honour last month at a ceremony at Government House in Victoria, presided over by Lt.-Gov. Steven Point and deputy premier
Justice Institute of British Kevin Falcon. “It was a surprise – a Columbia. He went on to pleasant surprise,” Stewart chair the Justice Institute for 17 years. said. “There’s He has also probably less than been a volunteer 300 people in the board member province that have for several highthat. It’s a fairly profile causes recent innovation, and charities but it’s nice to be including Variety included.” – the Children’s Beyond37years Charity, Special in service with the Olympics B.C., Vancouver Police the Boys and Girls Department, Bob Stewart Clubs of Greater Stewart served V a n c o u v e r for nine years on award winner and the Mount the federal parole Saint Joseph Hospital board. In 1978, Stewart was one Foundation. “I guess my expertise is of the founders who conceptualized and planned the more on the management
and governance of nonprofits where you’re interested in the public dollar and the donor’s dollar. I guess the challenge is to make it go as far as possible and get the best results,” he said. “Making sure that things run smoothly and that they keep their skirts clean and don’t get into trouble.” He still serves as a Variety International vicepresident. Asked what has motivated him to contribute to so many causes, Stewart remains modest. “I guess it’s the old story about wanting to give back to the community,” he
said. “I’ve worked in public service all my life, and there’s always more time that you could donate to a worthy cause. It was nice to become involved with people who were like-minded and work at raising funds and providing some management skills and moving charities forward.” Stewart said everyone

Heritage contest displays kids’ talent BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER jmaclellan@royalcityrecord.com
Local kids got to experience a bit of the Royal City’s past during the annual Heritage Week contests. The City of New Westminster recently recognized winners in the Heritage Week contests that were open to kids in kindergarten to Grade 5. “We are very pleased with the enthusiastic response and the quality of entries,” said Mayor Wayne Wright. “These contests highlight the importance of our community’s heritage, to us. “ The theme of this year’s provincewide Heritage Week was A Century of Conservation – Parks and Cultural
Landscapes. “This year, students in Grade 5 were asked to develop their submissions around the local history they are learning with the launch of the joint school district and City of New Westminster’s My New Westminster: A Neighbourhood History workbook researched, illustrated and written by local artist Jill Doyle,” Wright said. “In doing so, they’ve connected the Heritage Week contest with the history of the Royal City they are learning in school. It’s a great partnership that is promoting civic literacy and engaging our young in the tremendous history of our city.” Doyle also provided the images for all of the colouring contests. “There were 729 entries received,”
Wright said. “You can understand why it was so difficult for the judges to choose the winners.” Students in kindergarten, and Grade 1 and 2 coloured an At the Fair picture. Here are the winners: ◗ Kindergarten: 1st – Rhea Singh, Lord Tweedsmuir; 2nd – Jamie Lam, Lord Tweedsmuir; 3rd – Maria Olenchenko, John Robson; and honourable mentions Alyssa Calanog from Richard McBride, Sarah Chen and Tianna Downey from John Robson, and Emma Berube from Lord Tweedsmuir. ◗ Grade 1: 1st – Wesley Stajduhar, Richard McBride; 2nd – Julianna Platts, Lord Tweedsmuir; 3rd – Trudy Martin, Herbert Spencer; and honourable mentions – Althea
Lau from Connaught Heights, Aneel Gill from Queen Elizabeth, Cat Sabinin from F.W. Howay, and Brianna Hannay from Lord Tweedsmuir. ◗ Grade 2: 1st – Alexandra Corrie, Urban Academy; 2nd – Jasmeen Dhaliwal, Queen Elizabeth; 3rd – Annika Rempel, Urban Academy; and honourable mentions Amy McMullen and Cassidy Tecklenborg from F.W. Howay, Sarah Gallant from Lord Tweedsmuir, Sebastian Koningstein Salcedo from John Robson, and Kyra Horikiri from Richard McBride. The grand prize winner for At the Fair was Minami Sakamoto from F.W.

◗ IN THE LIBRARY
Get to know your city at open house BY DEBRA NELSON CONTRIBUTOR editorial@royalcityrecord.com
O
ne of the highlights of the Hyack Festival is the annual open house at New Westminster City Hall. Following the Hyack Parade on Saturday, May 28, city hall will again open its doors from 1 to 3:30 p.m. All city departments will be on hand, and this is an excellent chance to meet some of the staff, ask questions, see what’s in the works and be entertained. Since this year’s theme is Active City, Active You, the library will be there with book suggestions for maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle. Also, for your life on the go, you can find out how to download free audio and eBooks. The parks, culture and recreation department will keep you active and entertained with a trampoline, children’s crafts, face painting and Co Co the Clown. The brave have a chance to have their body fat tested. The fun continues in human resources where you can try your luck at the career
spinning wheel; and in engineering, finance and information technology with games, a Trivia Wheel and an interactive display on “MyCity.” Of course there will be lots of equipment to check out: police cars, engineering trucks and a couple of new additions which take the city’s fleet to new heights. The electrical utility will show off its new underground truck. The single-person bucket can reach up to 38 feet and carries tools and materials needed for maintaining and repairing the underground electrical distribution system. The New Westminster Fire and Rescue Service, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, will showcase the new 100-foot aerial platform. It has two nozzles, protection from fire exposure and gives firefighters the ability to perform rescues up to eight storeys without having to hold onto a ladder. And one of the annual highlights is having your picture taken in the mayor’s chair, so remember to bring your camera along. Then top off the day with a healthy snack.

kipping isn’t just for kids on a playground. It’s a legitimate form of exercise that is utilized by professional athletes such as boxers, swimmers and football players. It will help improve your endurance, cardiovascular health and overall fitness, and improve your coordination, flexibility and balance. Furthermore, it burns more calories than many other forms of exercise. Many people avoid skipping because they become frustrated over the initial clumsy period, but it’s worth the effort. Compared to running or jogging, skipping burns a similar amount of calories (approximately 1,000 for every hour) but is easier on your joints and works out both your upper and lower body. It effectively tones your hips, bottom, calves, thighs, arms, abdominals, chest and shoulders. The jumping motion also increases calcium levels and thus helps to prevent osteoporosis. To begin, adjust the rope to fit your body. The handles should be about one inch below each armpit when standing on the rope with both feet. Keep your elbows tucked by your side and use your wrists, not your arms, to turn the rope. Try to prevent yourself from leaning forward or skipping too slowly when starting out. The key is to keep your back straight and not to jump too high, only a few inches from the floor. You also want to make sure you keep the rope tight. After you become comfortable, you can begin to experiment with different movements and foot combinations. Try moving your feet in the jumping jack motion while skip-

ARTHRITIS Great Sex
Happiness for couples is a satisfying sex life.
Pain free in 2 weeks!
This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products,physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let anybody confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President #1 We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100 testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: ! Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON !My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA!I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON!Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping.

ere’s one for lovers of poetry. Douglas College’s Calvin Wharton has just had a new book of poetry published by Anvil Press. The Song Collides was released in April. “The Song Collides takes the reader on a highly personal and internal metaphysical investigation into the state of the natural world – and then back via more lyrical and local enquiries that speak to each and every one of us,” a press release says. Calvin is the chair of creative writing at Douglas College and edited its Event literary journal from 1996 to 2001. He also co-edited the poetry anthology East of Main and has published a chapbook of poems, Visualized Chemistry, as well as the short story collection Three Songs By Hank

Publisher accepts special honour at CCNA awards BY JANAYA FULLER-EVANS REPORTER jfuller-evans@royalcityrecord.com
Brad Alden, publisher of The Record, did not expect to be honoured with a President’s Quill award from the Canadian Community Newspaper Association at its annual awards gala last month. “I had no anticipation I would be receiving the award that night,” Alden said in an interview last week. “I was very surprised.” He is the second person to receive the award since it was first given in 2010 to Coleen Campbell of Taber, Alta. The award is for past board members of the association, to recognize distinguished accomplishments while serving on the board. “Essentially, it is to create acknowledgment of volunteer time on the board,” Alden said. Alden was honoured for his time on the board, from 2004 to 2010. Alden, who retired from the board one year ago, was recently asked to serve on it again. He was previously the chair of the innovation committee, which communicated with
member newspapers about digital changes to the business, specifically in regards to social media such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Alden has been a publisher since 1988, and says it is the last of the three careers he’s had in his lifetime. He is also the publisher of The Record’s sister papers, the Burnaby NOW and Coquitlam NOW. The 2011 Canadian Community Newspaper Awards gala was held on April 29 at the River Rock Casino Theatre in Richmond. The Record won a blue ribbon for general excellence, as did the Burnaby NOW. The Record also placed third for Best Multimedia Feature for a multimedia show by Larry Wright about the Hyack Anvil Salute. In the 2011 Great Ideas Awards, held the following day as part of the Ink +Beyond conference, The Record placed third in the community newspaper marketing and promotion category, for ComBase Ads – True or False. The Record received second place in the special section category, for What Christmas means to me. See www.newspaperscanada.ca.

Anvil Battery a colourful part of city’s past OUR PAST

A
nother Victoria Day is close at hand and with it another salute to the memory of Queen Victoria and to the reigning monarch. In New Westminster, the city’s first such event was held in 1859, largely at the Royal Engineers’ Camp – a celebration filled with ceremony, music, speeches, fun and food. And, of course, the
booming of a salute to the Queen from a naval ship’s cannons. Over the decades in the Royal City, salutes have been fired from cannons, rifles and anvils from a number of locations around the town. Using anvils in a salute has occurred in a variety of sites. A recent New Westminster Historical Society newsletter included an interesting image of the “anvil battery” setting up to fire. It is interesting and rare in that the anvils were arranged on Alexander Street. Many salutes of the early Ancient and Honourable Hyack
Anvil Battery were fired on Eighth Street near Columbia Street, in front of a blacksmith shop then operated by Thomas Ovens. One of the photos we have of the battery setting up to fire shows it near the back of the Eighth Street shop, that is, on Alexander Street. The photo shows that the street was paved with bricks or cobblestones and that a layer of wood had been used to keep the anvils from damaging that surface. The Battery has fired a Victoria Day salute near the waterfront close to the railroad tracks, at a couple of places near Gilley Brothers’ buildings

Decide for yourself. Learn more at HSTinBC.ca You‛ve probably heard and seen a lot about HST — some negative, some positive. Well, now you can have your say. From June 13th to July 22nd you‛ll vote whether to keep HST or go back to PST plus GST. It‛s an important decision for our province, so be sure to take the time to understand all the implications of the two tax systems. And before you decide, put each tax option to the test at HSTinBC.ca
Of course, included in all of that, are the 21 booming shots of the salute itself. Research is ongoing into the story of the Battery. A lot of fascinating information is being gathered, but the search continues, and the Battery would like to ask for your assistance. If you have a photograph or memory of an early Anvil Battery salute, perhaps at an early location as noted above, please let them know.

played in the midfield, but I thought (Seycove) had the majority of the play.” STM finished first in the Lower Mainland independent league, fashioning an unbeaten 12-0-2 record, although both ties were later won on penalty kicks. Zavarise expects the Knights to be awarded a high provincial seeding, but with three players on the limp, four others will be brought up from the junior varsity squad for the provincials. “If some of the kids heal up and we have reasonable depth, we might have a chance,” Zavarise added. “But it’ll be tough. I’m optimistic.
We have a very good team.” In its lineup, the Knights have Eleni Tolusso, Samantha Drescher and Monica Podgorski from the Coastal A Cup champion Cliff Avenue Synergy. The AA provincials will be hosted at Archbishop Carney in Coquitlam from June 2 to 4. Earlier, STM defeated Archbishop Carney 2-1 to win the B.C. Catholic school soccer title. “I told the kids it’s our eighth time (to the provincials). They said, ‘And our Grade 8s are the ones that took us there.’ So maybe it’s crazy eights this year,” said Zavarise.
Knights win inaugural league open
The St. Thomas More Collegiate Knights golf team warmed up for AA zone qualifying this weekend with a strong showing at the inaugural Independent high school golf league open. Junior Alan Tolusso posted a two-round total of 140 to win the competition, carding identical 70s on both McCleery and Fraserview golf courses on May 9 and 10, respectively. Tolusso’s steady rounds were three shots better than
runner-up Chris Crisologo of Vancouver College, who fired a league open-best 67 at Fraserview on the final day. Grade 11 Knight Lucas Gatto placed fourth with a 146 total, including a 71 at McCleery on the opening day. Kevin Vigna of STM was fifth overall one shot back. Senior Josh Punzo finished up in ninth place to help the STM team finish zone play in first place.

Douglas Royals add four recruits to men’s VB BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
The Douglas College men’s volleyball team just got stronger with four new recruits named earlier this week. The varsity Royals announced the freshman signings of Lower Mainland grads Nick Bridle from South Delta, Surrey’s Drew Ruby and Burnaby North outside hitter Preston Wong, and Rex Fenton from Ottawa on Wednesday. Fenton, a 6-3 setter from
Ontario, led his high school team to an undefeated 510 season and a provincial title. He also represented Canada at the under-19 world championships Royals coach Brad Hudson believes the Royals outside attack will be complemented with the addititions of Ruby and Wong. “Drew’s intangibles will set him apart,” said Hudson in a Douglas online press release. “As for Wong, Preston will surprise people. He has a terrific passing platform and a live arm.”
The 6-6 Bridle will strengthen the Royals at middle blocker. This season, the Royals won a bronze medal at the B.C. Colleges’ provincial men’s championships, defeating Vancouver Island University in a five-set consolation final. Douglas will begin the preseason hosting a collegiate invitational tournament over the Thanksgiving weekend. The Royals will open league play at home against the University of the Fraser Valley on Oct. 14.

Senior B lacrosse club folds After three largely successful seasons in the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association the Burnaby Burrards have called it quits. A dispersal draft was held on May 1, with leading scorer Travis St. Germaine being picked up by Chilliwack first overall. Other Burnaby notables included Quinn Waddington going in the first round to the Ladner Pioneers. The Pioneers also took speedster and former senior Salmonbellie Cory Melville in the fourth round. Rob Brommer and last season’s captain Cory Siegner were taken in the second and third rounds, respectively, by Tri-City. Chris Macey was a fourth-round choice by Chilliwack. The Burrards finished
on top of the Sr. B league in both the 2009 and 2010 regular seasons. Last season, Burnaby hosted the President’s Cup senior B national championships, finishing just out of a final medal

Cancer June 21-July 22: This week and the next three are a “cross-over.” Part of your life will be tired, restricted, seeking rest, solitude and contemplation. You want to sum up and plan. Another part will be social, optimistic, seeking fun and looking forward to future events. This second part is emerging, and will, by late June, win out for a year, bringing great luck, social delights, wish fulfillment, light romance, and a love of life! But every spring needs a cold March, so we can prepare. Use these weeks ahead to plan, fulfill obligations, and clear your desk. A career might come true. Wisdom, midweek. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Two themes occupy you over the next four weeks: career, ambition and prestige relations (e.g., with VIPs) are one. The other is wish fulfillment, light romance, social joys, optimism and “future gazing.” In the long run, now to June 2012, the ambition area will prove more powerful and more beneficial. But for the month ahead, social delights, flirting and optimism win out. (In this, though, be willing to deepen flirtation into real romance, and don’t believe all the “social promise” you see.) Be gracious: a VIP, boss or parent will be impatient into mid-late June. Opportunity, Monday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Although the ambitious side of your life is emphasized for the next four weeks, don’t throw everything into this area – and DON’T do anything unethical to get ahead, don’t change jobs, don’t push or dare a boss or parent, and don’t launch a business. That advice holds right into August 2012. Do, though, accept anything that comes to you. This year and a half demands strict “morality” from you: on the good side, in two weeks you start a year-long period of wisdom, understanding and gentle love. But avoid legal hassles for four weeks. Attraction, midweek! Financial caution Friday.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Although many things remain to be handled in money areas, life starts to lighten up. A restless feeling enters for the next four weeks, as do short trips, errands, lots of conversations and casual meetings. These weeks bring your first opportunity in some months to make peace with someone who has been quietly but strongly opposing you. You should make peace, or come to some understanding (especially Monday, Friday/Saturday) because this person has the upper hand, and will for some time. It might even be your mate! Happiness early, weariness midweek, then energy Friday/Saturday. Taurus April 20-May 20: The weeks ahead emphasize money, earning and spending, possessions and memory work/learning. (Dante said there’s no learning if you understand but don’t remember.) Be ambitious Sunday/Monday. Despite a wee frustration Sunday morning, most factors line up for success, especially Monday. Happiness, social joys and optimism enter midweek! But retreat Friday evening to Saturday – rest, plan, contemplate. Employment or health matters could face an obstacle Friday. Patience and thinking will show the way past it. Your charisma keeps shining, right into June: continue with projects. Gemini May 21-June 20: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness climb over the four weeks ahead. Start important projects, tackle chores that intimidated you, ask favours, chase someone. Through June 3, life (and your efforts) can bring social breakthroughs, light love, freedom, or bring you a true mate, a lucky relocation or a beneficial contract! But by subtle stages, now to June 2012, you’re turning toward quiet solitude, charity, governmental links, institutional connections, and administrative tasks. These will be lucky. The hustle-bustle world won’t be. Joy has barriers Friday, none Saturday!

May 22 - 28, 2011
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Legal, cultural, love, international, higher education, far travel and publishing themes enter until late June. In addition, the next two weeks might bring (or further) a life-mate attraction or a major opportunity. But don’t lean too heavily on this entire (legal to publishing) zone, for it might promise more than it delivers. Simultaneously, through the weeks ahead, an accent grows on secrets and secret action, sexual desires, lifestyle changes, investments, commitments: these will benefit you greatly from June to June 2012! Romance frustrates Sunday day, but night’s magic! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The bulge of work that piled on you over the last half year (and last summer) is quickly ending. Now through June 2012 your efforts will be rewarded with opportunities. But you might briefly lose direction during the few weeks ahead. Some advice: for two weeks, continue to accept responsibility, extra work. For four weeks, be wary of committing yourself deeply, whether it’s a financial, sexual or lifestyle commitment. (E.g., moving to Alaska is a lifestyle commitment.) Wariness is warranted in these zones right into August 2012. For four weeks, don’t fight. Midweek, romance. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Both opportunities and opposition face you for a few weeks. A romance might turn to life-mate decisions. Relocation, agreements, contract negotiations, litigation, these arise. But be wary of all these: now through August 2011, they might contain pitfalls. If you feel you’re chasing an always-elusive or ever-receding goal, opportunity or relationship, turn your back on it, completely. If it just falls into your lap, accept. Soon work duties will expand, maybe hugely, to fill the 12 months ahead. Huge success could follow! Steady your nerves; learn to work without stress.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The four weeks ahead emphasize work, health and machinery concerns. Don’t give everything to this area – especially, don’t bury yourself in work to avoid other, scarier things such as romance. Romance, creative and speculative urges, pleasure, beauty, sports and games – these mildly intensify now, and will grow to huge proportions during the 12 months ahead. During the same year ahead, you’re going to meet good luck in administrative, governmental or institutional situations. Careful with money Sunday – chase it Monday. Nice friends midweek. Home irks Friday, soothes Saturday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: A month of romance, creativity, pleasure and beauty starts now. Kids will charm you, you’ll excel at sports and games. You’ll ride a winning streak! But many matters at home, or affecting your security, intensify now. This can bring friction as well as affection, talk and action. Use these weeks to prepare, if possible, for an extended (year-long) period of good luck in this zone, which will arrive June 4. Study real estate ads, for example, or retirement plans, or get repair/reno quotes. Your energy and charisma soar Sunday/Monday. You might attract love! Money, midweek. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The weeks ahead feature security, your domestic situation, real estate, rest and recuperation, Mother Nature, nutrition, gardening. Do what you must, but don’t plunge wholly into these areas, and don’t begin big important projects here. You might want to end some associations and projects, and to begin others – but this would probably cause a lot of talk, and lead nowhere. Some very interesting trips and lively new friends are on the horizon, but they aren’t here yet. Rest, meditate and plan Sunday/ Monday. Your energy rises nicely midweek. Money irks Friday, succeeds Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
