New West Record March 29 2013

If there were any locals opposed tothe proposed changes to the animal con-trol bylaw in New Westminster, they didnot speak up at the public forum heldat the Centennial Community Centre onWednesday evening.

About 50 people attended the forum,hosted by the city and presented by animal

control officers. All seemedto be in support of the planto remove breed-specificwording from the currentbylaw, which labels dogbreeds such as pit bulls asvicious.

“I think you need to dealwith specific dogs, not awhole breed,” said NewWestminster resident Liz

Craik. “I think it’s awesome that they’reasking for feedback, especially if theyfollow up. That’s great,” she said of theforum and survey on the city’s website.

The two-hour forum included a presen-tation by an animal control services officerfrom the City of Coquitlam, who spokeabout that municipality’s removal of thebreed-specific wording from its legislationin 2011.

“We couldn’t be happier with it,” saidSarah Bull, supervisor of bylaws, licens-ing and animal services for Coquitlam,in reference to her city’s updated bylaw.“The impact on the city is consistency ofenforcement and fairness (in regards to) alldog bite investigations.”

The proposed changes to the New

Westminster bylaw shift the focus toresponsible pet ownership rather thanpre-emptive designations for certain dogbreeds as either aggressive or not.

As well as removing breed-specific leg-islation, the proposed new bylaw includesan additional 37 offences to target aggres-sive dog behaviour, regardless of breed,

and failure to take responsibility for ani-mal control and care in general.

“Leash your dog, license your dog andlove your dog,” said Sukh Maghera, coor-dinator for parking and animal servicesfor the City of New Westminster, as an

District looks at laying off 70 employees

The New Westminster school districtcontinues to sink deeper into a financialhole announcing Tuesday it will likelyhave to cut about 70 positions across the

district to reduce its deficit.Acting secretary-treasurer Al Balanuik

presented trustees, and members of thepublic, with a budget deficit reductionproposal. The proposal recommends lay-ing off about 20 teaching positions; about15 support staff positions; and 35 specialeducation assistant positions.

Balanuik said that in the past, the dis-trict has chosen not to issue layoff noticesto help offset budget deficits, but thatwon’t be possible this time around.

“Keep in mind that one announcementcan change everything and that budgets

are based on assumptions,” he said.In his presentation, Balanuik said these

layoffs, along with the funding cuts includ-ed in the reduction plan, could bring theshortfall down from where it stands nowat $3.5 million to $1 million for the 2012/13school year.

Members of the public who attendedTuesday’s meeting voiced concerns withthe proposed layoffs, especially the 35special education assistant positions thatwould be cut if trustees approve the reduc-tion plan.

Trustee Lisa Graham, whose son has

autism and attended school in NewWestminster, understands why some par-ents are worried about cuts that coulddirectly affect children with special needs.

“I don’t see how that number is pos-sible, it doesn’t make any sense to me,”she said. “The number of (special educa-tion assistants) who will be employed inour district is driven by the enrolmentnumbers of special needs students, not bybudget.”

According to the most recent Ministryof Education count in February, New

HOW IT WORKSLearnmore about the process

Digital billboards are now flashing ads to motoristsat locations around the Royal City – after constructiondelays caused by Mother Nature.

Last year, the City of New Westminster approvedthe installation of four new digital billboards in thecity. The signs will be located at Highway 91A at theQueensborough Bridge, Highway 91 at the approachto the Alex Fraser Bridge, on Brunette Avenue at theHighway 1 East on-ramp and on McBride Boulevard atthe south end of the Pattullo Bridge.

Keith Whiteley, a projectmanager with the City of NewWestminster, said materialswere slow to arrive because ofHurricane Sandy and snow-storms that had occurred backeast.

The City of New Westminsterhas signed a 20-year agreementwith All Vision Canada, whichwill pay all costs associated withbuilding, maintaining and mar-keting the digital signs.

The signs are expected togenerate between $1 million and$1.6 million annually for citycoffers, but the city has yet todetermine how it will use therevenues.

“We will see revenues prob-ably coming in in 2013,” saidGary Holowatiuk, the city’sdirector of finance and informa-

tion technology. “It is a fairly stable source of revenue butit does have a definitive time of 20 years. Strategically, itwould be wise to use it for strategic initiatives or maybecapital projects.”

A staff report considered by council as part of the 2013budget deliberations showed that the digital sign pro-gram could generate $500,000 this year.

“It’s actually going to grow to be somewhere between$1 million and $1.5 million over the next two to threeyears,” Holowatiuk said.

While budget reports originally included the antici-pated revenues of $500,000 into the draft 2013 budget,they were later removed because some council members

questioned what the budget would look like without thatdigital signage revenue in the picture.

“Staff has committed to bringing forward a reportbased on work that’s been done, both in the budgetsurvey and an independent survey, on how those fundsshould be used. Some of the suggestions that came fromthe public was pay down the debt, and other options,”Holowatiuk said. “We thought we would remove that at

this point in time and have another discussion with coun-cil when that report is ready.”

Staff will report back to council about potential uses forthe revenues.

“That will come back to council within the next coupleof months,” Holowatiuk said. “Staff are working on areport right now.”

Attention motorists: The City of New Westminster is anticipating it could receive more than $1 million annuallyfrom the four new digital signs that are operating in the city.

City students get two-week spring break next yearTrustees on the New Westminster school

board approved a two-week spring breakat their meeting Tuesday night.

While not all trustees were supportiveof the recommendation made by the dis-trict calendar committee, the motion toapprove the new school calendar passedin a four-to-two vote.

Trustee Lisa Graham voted in favour of

the motion but only because it will finan-cially benefit the district during a timewhere every penny counts.

“I absolutely resent having to vote forit but it was for fiscal reasons,” she said.“Our financial situation is so dire, I didn’tfeel that I had a choice. We have to lookeverywhere (for revenue).”

Acting secretary-treasurer, Al Balanuik,has identified a possible operating budgetshortfall of $1 million as of June 2013.While it’s still in a draft format, the bud-

get indicates various district shortfalls.Balanuik said he is still optimistic thatthey’ll be able to pull together the requiredfunds by June.

But if the district doesn’t find thesefunds, the budget deficit will have a last-ing effect on the district’s finances.

And this is where two-week springbreak comes in.

According to superintendent JohnWoudzia, closing down schools for a sec-ond week at spring break will save the

district between $35,000 and $40,000.The calendar committee drafted a sur-

vey, which was sent out to parents, staff,students and community members acrossNew Westminster to collect some inputon the possible changes to the school cal-endar.

The survey, which received 1,300responses, found that most peoplefavoured a two-week spring break. While

It’s official, the New Westminster schoolboard has chosen a name for its newestelementary school, set to open September of2014, and the winner is . . . École QayqaytElementary.

Trustees voted unanimously to approvethe new school’s name at a board meet-ing Tuesday night. Qayqayt (pronouncedKee-Kite), was the recommendation of thedistrict’s school naming committee. Thecommittee endorsed Qayqayt, stating inthe recommendation that “very little todayremains in New Westminster to honourand remember the Qayqayt First Nation.Naming this school for that nation wouldboth honour and keep in memory the peo-ple whose land this once was.”

The board received permission fromQayqayt Chief Rhonda Larrabee to use thename and The Record reported earlier thismonth that Larrabee was thrilled with thecommittee’s recommendation.

Trustee Lisa Graham, who chaired thenaming committee, said she was reallypleased with the board’s decision.

“I had two favourites, one was theEthlyn Trapp and the other was Qayqayt,”she said.

Graham has been the board’s FirstNation liaison for more than a decade andshe stated at the meeting that the choice to

use Qayqayt will help aboriginal studentsin the district feel validated, no matter ifthey attend the school or not.

“It’s definitely a reason to be proud,”she said.

Trustees, however, decided not to voteon the committee’s recommendation toname the new middle school after JohnRobson. Instead they deferred the decisionback to the committee of the whole meetingnext Tuesday.

Trustee Jonina Campbell said the boardshould consider naming the school after awoman and pointed to a lack of female rep-resentation in the names of schools acrossthe district, aside from Queen Elizabeth.

And Graham agreed that QueenElizabeth, while great, doesn’t properlyrepresent the young girls attending NewWestminster schools today.

“None of our New Westminster girls areborn into the Royal family,” she said. “It’dbe nice for girls to actually look at a schoolnamed for a female.”

Graham suggested the board considernaming the school for Dr. Ethlyn Trapp, apioneer in the medical research field whobegan the first clinical research project onbreast cancer. Along with her research onbreast cancer, Trapp also forged the way forthe first radiotherapy treatment for cancerin Canada.

“She was a medical doctor when therewas virtually no female medical doctors,”

Graham said.What’s more, before John Robson ele-

mentary was built there was a high schoolon the site. The high school was namedafter Ethlyn Trapp’s father, T.J. Trapp.

“You’d have that continuity. He was avery significant New West figure … but sheherself, in her own right, was incrediblyimpressive,” Graham said.

In the case of the middle school, TrusteeCasey Cook said that there isn’t an immedi-ate need for a name and therefore the boardshould take its time choosing one.

The official groundbreaking for ÉcoleQayqayt Elementary will take place Friday,April 5 at the former St. Mary’s Hospital siteat 200 Royal Ave. from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.

“I do not agree with what you haveto say, but I’ll defend to the death yourright to say it.” The quote, attributed toVoltaire, gets pulled out a lot to backfreedom of speech arguments. This timeis no exception.

Conservative MP MarkWarawa rose in the House ofCommons this past week toask the speaker of the houseto rule that his privileges as an MP hadbeen violated because his party’s leader-ship was not allowing him to speak onan emotional issue he feels stronglyabout.

The emotional issue is abortion.Warawa is vociferously anti-abortion,

or anti-choice, depending upon yourpersonal take on the always controver-sial subject.

Prime Minister StephenHarper has publicly said hewill not re-open the abortiondebate.

And he surely doesn’twant his troops whipping up a con-troversy that might be used in an anti-Conservative campaign.

Conservative party leaders likenedgagging Warawa to making sure that

the ‘team’ kept to the game plan. Therewere a lot of analogies to “sitting on thebench” and referees.

It’s no secret that political partiesorchestrate debate in the House ofCommons. While it may not be scriptedword-for-word, the players all knowtheir parts and usually stick to them.

Warawa doesn’t want to stick to thescript, and he, in our opinion, is right.He is accountable to his constituents.If he thinks he’s acting on their behalfand they want him to ignite the abortiondebate – then no party hack should stophim.

Green Party leader Elizabeth Maysaid Warawa’s battle is very important.She is quoted as saying, “It cuts to thecore of what is wrong with parliament-ary democracy.”

NDP House Leader Nathan Cullensaid his party does not vet statementsmade by its MPs in the 15 minutes priorto question period. But we doubt verymuch if NDP MPs ever stray far fromtheir scripts.

We say, let Warawa speak. If he can’tshut up – that’s another matter – but, fornow, he should rightly exercise his free-dom of speech.

Port Metro haseditor all riled up

First full disclosure: I have apersonal financial interest inproperties impacted by Port

Metro Vancouver’s waterlot leasestrategy. Second full disclosure:I have a deep-seated aversion tomega-bureaucracies that willfully,or unwittingly, crush strugglinghard-working small businesspeople.

For those who may havemissed the story that has ignitedmy wrath, it centres on PortMetro Vancouver hiking waterlotlease rates along the Fraser River.

The amounts vary – but mostare onerous and all seem basedon a formula that is fundamental-ly unfair and wrong. The impacton small marina owners andbusinesses and floathome com-munities on the river is substan-tial – and in some cases, dire.

On Wednesday, we publisheda story reporting what impactthe port’s decision has on justtwo small marina owners inQueensborough.

Kent Carbis runs the RoyalCity Marina, a bright and well-kept marina on the Fraser. Ifyou’re driving down Dyke Road,you could miss it, except hisfreshly painted slate blue club-house catches your eye.

Carbis isn’t a real-estatedeveloper, he’s not a guy who’slooking to expand an empire,he’s not someone who tries to getout of paying his fair share – he’ssomeone who loves the river andjust wants to be able to keep run-ning his small business.

The port is hiking his rent by300 per cent. He doesn’t knowhow he’s going to be able to keepoperating. Even if he passed onall of the new costs to the folkswho have boats moored on hisdocks, and even if they couldafford those rates, he would prob-ably have nothing left for insur-ance or upkeep.

He’s not alone. The portappears to be treating smallmarina owners as squatters to beforced out.

The double-whammy of thisis that many of these river dwell-ers have been ekeing out a livingon the river for decades – they’renow in their 60s, and even 80s– and were hoping they couldkeep living on the river until theytook their final journey down theRiver Styx.

Contrast this with the way theport likes to be treated.

In 2004, the provincial govern-ment enacted the Ports PropertyTax Act.

This act capped municipaltaxes at the rate paid in 2004 sobig industry doing business onwaterways didn’t have to worryabout tax increases, which couldhave an impact on their ability tomake money and grow.

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Inspiring students come togetherDear Editor:

A girl stands before a sea of her 10 to 14-year-oldpeers. She is shaking and weary from her nerves.She stands in silence with the spotlights on her, theback drop the only colour on the stage, as she staresback at the many eyes on her and she is frozen. Shecannot find the words. She begins to cry.

Students begin to call her name, encouragingher, trying to convince her she can do it. Her teacherhugs her tight. A lone voice from the back of thecrowd begins to sing her song for her. Slowly thegirl begins to sing. The crowd cheers. She stopsagain and another voice calls out, “It’s OK! We canhelp you sing!” Her friend begins to sing again untilthe girl finds her voice again and then she sings …with her heart before her voice as if thanking herpeers. Her mother looks on, unable to hold back her

tears.The gym erupts into cheers and she receives astanding ovation.

These moments are the reason I teach. It is myfaith in our youth and this journey my colleaguesand I are on to help these youth find their bestpossible ‘me’. It is our staff, the kids, their parents,which make our village. This is why I love myschool. For those of you who think that Pink Daycouldn’t possibly make a difference … come to myschool. Today made a difference for 250 kids, fora lifetime, who got to be a part of this culture. It’sworking!

just comes from environmental groupsbut has been joined by the voices ofthe World Bank and the InternationalMonetary Fund. The science is no longerchallenged, so what is Canada’s responseto the greatest global crisis we have facedin our lifetime?

Our response is to ignore the warningsand ramp up the production of fossil fuelsto take advantage of some short-termopportunities in Asia.

The latest example of this insanity isto allow American coal to be imported byrail to Fraser Surrey Docks situated direct-ly across from our city to be loaded on tobarges and then towed to Texada Islandand in turn loaded on to ships destinedfor Asia. This is wrong on so many levelsit’s hard to know where to start.

From a health perspective, the two 125-car trains each day carrying low gradecoal from Wyoming will pass by at least adozen schools in White Rock and Surrey.The cars are open, and each one has thepotential to release 500 to 2,000 pounds ofcoal dust. Coal dust contains arsenic, lead,mercury, nickel and selenium.

The environmental threat to our air

quality, Fraser River salmon runs, and theultimate responsibility when this coal isactually burned cannot be ignored.

The main proponent of this ill-con-ceived plan besides Fraser Surrey Docksis Port Metro Vancouver. This federalentity, which appears to have absolutepower, is displaying the same arrogantbullying tactics that its political mastersin Ottawa have shown for the past sevenyears.

A pamphlet sent out in the mail isnot public consultation. To date, VotersTaking Action on Climate Change is lead-ing the charge to challenge this irrespon-sible plan. There is no way that we shouldbecome a doormat for American coalinterests.

This is happening because Canadanow has much weaker environmentalprotection than the U.S. who are up inarms over similar plans in Washingtonand Oregon.

Already normally law abiding citizenshave stood in front of a coal train andhave been arrested for their actions. Weneed thousands more to step up and col-lectively raise our voices in opposition.The only way this plan moves forward isif good people remain silent.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The New Westminster Record is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing

the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member

newspapers. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you

may contact the B.C. Press Council. For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org.

The act was extended to2007 and extended again to2018. And then in Februaryof last year, the provincemade the act permanent.Yes, a permanent tax breakensuring no one wouldhave to pay a higher rateof taxation than they did in2004 – forever.

The province also com-pensates municipalitiesfor taxes it loses in thiscozy little deal – effectivelygreasing their palms sothey would agree to givethe port a pass on payingtheir fair share.

Robin Silvester, pres-ident and chief execu-tive officer of Port MetroVancouver, said at the time,“Port Metro Vancouver isvery pleased with the prov-incial government’s deci-sion to permanently extendthe B.C. Ports PropertyTax Act. These changes areessential in supporting thecompetitiveness of PortMetro Vancouver and ourindustry stakeholders.” Nokidding they were pleased.

Now contrast that withhow the small businessowners are treated on theriver. Not only don’t they

get a break on taxes – theyget charged up to 300 percent more as their rates arebased on the value of landthey don’t even own.

Part of the port’s ration-ale for raising lease ratesis that the port bases thevalue of the waterlot leaseon an acre of commercialland in the vicinity.

Now, this isn’t land themarina operator owns, itcould be anyone’s property.This is like living next toa guy who has a mansionand pool, when you’re liv-ing in a rundown bunga-low next door, and beingtold that your property taxis going to be based on hisland and home, not yours.

To add insult to injurywhen one of the marinaowners told the personat the port they couldn’tpossibly pay the new leaserates without going bank-rupt – the port employeesaid they should move.

Clever idea. Just pullup all of those docks andpilings and plumbing andwiring and cart it overto the Wal-Mart parkinglot and create a dry-landmarina. Or better yet,perhaps move it to the $1

million acre of land theport is comparing it to andplunk it down there – eventhough it’s on someoneelse’s property.

We’re not sure whativory tower beancounter atthe port or in Ottawa cameup with this formula – butit sure wasn’t the sameone who came up with thepermanent tax break forbig port businesses. Theseideas must come frompeople who have moredegrees than they havecommonsense.

Oh, and full disclosurenumber three – I oftenwonder if there are teamsof bureaucrats in an officefar, far, away who havecontests to see who cancome up with the boldestplan to reward big busi-ness and shove it to thelittle guy. Of course theteams get extra marks foraudacity and for usinglarge amounts of taxpayermoney.

the margins varied from elementary tohigh school, most parents were in supportof the change.

Woudzia noted some of the respons-es highlighted a concern about availablechildcare and activity programs duringthe additional week. Twenty per cent ofparents indicating their interest in child-

care or programming were also concerned“that accessing such services would createfinancial hardship for them.”

Graham said this was one of the rea-sons she had a hard time supporting thedecision.

“I actually don’t agree with the two-week calendar, I think it creates tremen-dous hardship for families,” she said. “I’m

hopeful that through the year we will actu-ally get input from the public and fromparents.”

Graham was appalled by the lack of con-sultation with the District Parent AdvisoryCouncil and other school parent councilsin the district – but she understands it’slargely due to a time crunch.

The committee had only eight weeks

to make a recommendation to council.The board is required to submit its finaldecision to the Ministry of Education byMarch 31.

Graham said she hopes the board willre-evaluate the decision next year withmore input from key stakeholders.

Westminster has 561 students enrolled asspecial needs. This is out of a total enroll-ment (from kindergarten to Grade 12) of5,911 students.

Grant Osborne, president of the NewWestminster Teachers’ Union, urged trust-ees to start making decisions soon so thatteachers have a chance to find employmentelsewhere, before the end of the year.

“It’s very raw data and it’ll be interest-ing to see how firm these numbers are,” hesaid. “They need to look at all the scenariosand resolve it as soon as possible.”

Osborne wasn’t the only one whothought the meeting was a sobering one.Graham also expressed concerns with thedistrict’s financial situation.

“Our finances are absolutely atrocious,”Graham said. “At least with this informa-tion before us now, we have an accuratestarting point from which to based somevery difficult decisions.”

Balanuik said that as he worked on the

budget, he discovered that submitting adeficit to the ministry for a second year ina row will have a significant impact on thedistrict’s long-term budgeting strategy.

Long-term expenditures and debtrepayment planned for the next five yearswill likely result in a deficit of more than$5 million for the New Westminster schooldistrict, according to Balanuik’s presenta-tion. This number takes into considerationrepayment of deficits for the school years2011/12 and 2012/13 as well future costs,such as a new Massey Theatre.

On top of layoffs, Balanuik’s deficitreduction plan suggests funding adjust-ments to every aspect of the district’sexpenditures. Everything from utilities,insurance, supplies, water and sewage,and even garbage and recycling.

The next opportunity for members ofthe public to discuss budget and staff-ing concerns with the board is Tuesday,April 2 at 7 p.m. at the New WestminsterSecondary School library.

introduction to the presen-tation.

Maghera spoke aboutthe city’s proposal to joinother municipalities thathave updated their ani-mal control bylaws toreflect nuanced regula-tion requirements for petowners.

Maghera said the citywill take into account thepublic feedback collectedthrough an online sur-vey and present that tocouncil for considerationbefore making any finaldecisions.

“We’re hoping to get apretty positive response towhat our bylaw’s going tobe representing,” he said.

Lena Abalakova,another local resident,said she hopes to see NewWestminstercouncil followCoquitlam’slead becauseshe feels it isunfair to sin-gle out specificbreeds.

“Let’s faceit, there aregood own-ers and badowners, eachwith their ownagenda,” shesaid.

KimWalters, a Vancouverresident who attendedthe meeting, said she and

her partner want to buy ahome in New Westminsterbut are waiting to see if

“We’re notwilling to livesomewhereif we haveto leash andmuzzle them,”she said.

It’s a mystery with as much speculationand intrigue as who shot JR.

What business is going to be the newanchor tenant at Royal City Centre?

The owners aren’t saying, and formonths now there has been various theo-ries on which business will go into thefledgling mall. Speculation amped uprecently after the city received a develop-ment permit application from the mall tobuild an atrium-style entrance off SixthAvenue near Eighth Street, beside theDynamic Health and Fitness entrance, fora new anchor tenant for the first and sec-ond floors of the mall.

The names being kicked around therumour mill include Target, Wal-Mart and

Winners/HomeSense, but the property’sowner, Strathallen Capital Corp., hasn’tannounced what new business the mallwill house.

Monika Hildebrand, vice-president ofthe company’s Western Canada corpo-rate office, said it’s not in her company’scontrol to say what store is going into thespace, located at the west side of the shop-ping centre.

“We’d love to say something, but wecan’t,” Hildebrand said. “When the timeis right, everyone will know, but it’s justsomething we cannot comment on becausewe signed confidentiality agreements thatare legally binding.

“So, unfortunately, everyone is going tohave to wait,” she added.

She expects the announcement to come“soon,” likely by summer.

“We believe everyone will be pleased,and it will be an excellent thing for RoyalCity Centre and for the New Westminstercommunity,” she said. “To have a notabletenant would be a good thing for every-one, for obvious reasons.”

When asked about his theory on whatit will be, Uptown Business Associationpresident Bart Slotman said it’s not hisplace to say.

“I really don’t want to add to the spec-ulation,” Slotman said. “As far as I’mconcerned, we should leave it up to theretailer to announce when they are readyto announce.”

The mall owners are likely keeping theidentity under wraps because there aremany at play for a large retail tenant toenter into a market, Slotman said.

“There’s staffing issues, there is com-

petitive forces … there’s all kinds of issuesthat could be at play, “ he said. “They willannounce the market when they’re readyand when they have their things undercontrol.”

Still, Slotman, who owns UptownProperty Group, appreciates the public’sinterest in knowing which tenant it willbe.

“I think it’s a very important piece ofthe puzzle for Royal City Centre, and Ithink it’s very important that they have theright retailer to take that space, and I thinkit’s great to hear the community being sointerested in it,” he said.

City council received a staff reportabout the development permit applicationon March 11. Once a technical review ofthe application is complete, the matter willbe considered by city council.

A New Westminster man was injuredin an apartment fire early Saturday morn-ing.

Fire crews were called to an apartmentin the 400 block of Seventh Street about1:20 a.m. on March 23, after smoke wasdetected in the building.

“The tenant of the suite was injured andsent to Royal Columbian Hospital,” saidfire inspector Kathy Ius. “He was rescuedout of the suite.”

Ius said early indications were that thetenant of the first floor suite suffered fromsmoke inhalation, and possibly burns.

“We are still investigating the cause. Itdid start in a bathroom,” she said. “Therewas a lot of smoke in the suite.”

According to Ius, fire damage was con-tained to one room in the suite. Firefightersused a pressurized water canister to extin-guish the fire.

“The investigation is ongoing,” Ius said.“From our end, there is a bit of informa-tion we are waiting for.”

Ius said fire crews were able to quickly

assess the situation and mitigate any fur-ther damage, before it spread to othersuites in the building.

How did it start?An investigation is continuing into the

cause of a kitchen fire that started when noone was home.

New Westminster firefighters attendeda residence in the 1000-block of QueensAvenue on Tuesday, March 19 just after11:30 a.m.

No one was injured in the fire.

“It did start on the countertop in thekitchen,” said fire inspector Kathy Ius.“The fire cause is undetermined official-ly.”

Investigators are still determining thespecific cause of the fire.

“There was a bit of damage to thekitchen mainly,” Ius said. “There is dam-age through the suite.”

Ius said the preliminary damage esti-mate is $20,000. Had the fire occurred ata time of day when fewer people werearound to notice the smoke, she said itcould have caused more damage.

Easter fun atQueen’s Park

Fundingto replaceclub roof

Queen’s Park will be hopping withactivity for this year’s Easter festivities.

Easter in Queen’s Park takes place onSunday, March 31 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. atthe Queen’s Park bandshell and RainbowPlayground.

“It’s going to be fantastic,” predicted Jayyoung, manager of Queen’s Park Arenex.“With the sunny weather, we are expectingit to be busy.”

The day’s entertainment lineup includes:Now or Never (break dancers) at 11:15a.m.; Music Box (children’s music) – 11:40a.m.; Lowry Olafson (children’s music) – 12p.m.; and Rumba Calzada (five-piece Latinband) – 1 p.m.

Other activities include crafts, a pettingfarm, balloon animals, concession servicesand a roving magician and jester.

“He (the jester) was entertaining peopleas they were waiting in line last year,”Young said. “He is bringing his friend, whois a magician.”

The annual Hop Along the Bunny Trailevent is back by popular demand.

“It’s a series of activities,” said Young,noting they change from year to year. “Atthe end of doing those activities, we willhave a little treat bag.”

Easter in Queen’s Park doesn’t includean Easter egg hunt, but the Hop Along theBunny Trail ensures kids get a treat.

“We can make sure everyone who par-ticipates in Hop Along the Bunny Trail getsthe same amount of eggs,” Young said.

Children can have their photos takenwith the Easter bunnies, with a $2 donationrecommended.

Instead of taking orders and mailinghard copies of photos after the event as hasbeen done in past years, the city’s plan is topost the images on Facebook. People willalso be able to opt out of having the photoposted online.

“If they require a hard copy, we willhave a hard copy for them to pick up,”Young said. “We are trying to push every-one to digital. The plan is to put as manypeople through as possible.”

Young noted that some people had to beturned away at last year’s event becauseof lineups to see the Easter bunnies. It’sexpected that having staff take the photos,rather than a professional photographer,will also speed up the process.

Easter in Queen’s Park has been takingplace for many years, but the city is mak-ing some changes to the way it’s beingplanned. Instead of being staff driven, thecity has brought community members ontothe organizing committee.

“It brings new ideas, new ways of look-ing at things,” he said. “My goal next yearwould be to have more community mem-bers.”


The Royal City CurlingClub is getting some fed-eral funding to help repairits roof.

Lynne Yelich, ministerof state for western eco-nomic diversification,announced funding forthe Royal City CurlingClub under the federalCommunity InfrastructureImprovement Fund March8.

“Through theCommunity InfrastructureImprovement Fund, weare helping to boost eco-nomic activity by improv-ing local infrastructure,”she said, in a press release.“With today’s investment,our government is creat-ing jobs and growth, whilesupporting the prosperityof the community for yearsto come.”

The federal govern-ment’s investment of$63,000 will go towardsrepairing and upgrad-ing the roof and interiorwall paneling at the RoyalCity Curling Club, whichis located at 75 East SixthAve., next to CentennialCommunity Centre. It’salso expected that renova-tions will make the build-ing more energy efficientthrough the addition ofnew insulation.

“This funding from thegovernment of Canada isreally going to make a dif-ference at the Royal City,”said Michelle Spannier,vice-president of the RoyalCity Curling Club, in thenews release. “We are agreat club that hosts curl-ers at all levels, from schoolkids to world champions.We are known for our qual-ity curling ice and promo-tion of the sport, but asa not-for-profit organiza-tion, maintaining a build-ing that’s close to 50 yearsold is challenging ourresources and volunteers.This funding will help usmake necessary repairs andupgrades, and ensure theRoyal City Curling Clubcontinues to offer the bestcurling environment.”

Celebrating Easter in New Westminster

Once again withspring comes theevents and celebra-

tions of Easter.Depending where you

are, they might includefields of flowers and fra-grant bouquets, festivitiesand dinners, stylish newhats and parasols, eveningstrolls or fanciful proces-sions, church services andchoral evenings, or evenenjoying Fred Astaire andJudy Garland in EasterParade.

In our local historythere are many examplesof recognition of this timeof year.

Dedicated to the ladies

of New Westminster anddistrict, Mrs. Townsendadvertised in 1877 thatshe had new millineryand fancy goods. Fromlate March onward, thisad noted that she wouldhave “new and fashionablegoods for the coming sea-sons, to arrive direct fromLondon and Paris.”

In early April of 1879,another promotion notedthe receipt of a huge arrayof goods via a ship’s recentarrival: “first shipment ofspring goods consistingof all the newest shadesin silks, satins, velvets,ribbons, flowers, feathers,millinery, hats and bon-nets” and the list goes on.

The spring needs of thelady of the house werewell cared for.

In another ad, Mrs.Wise “begs to inform theladies of New Westminsterand vicinity that she hasjust received, by express,a choice assortment of

ladies’ hats, caps andetc., elegantly trimmed inaccordance with the verylatest styles.”

This particular adver-tisement also includesan interesting commentregarding the store itself.“During the constructionof her new establishmentexpressly erected for thispurpose, her showroomsare over Mr. Wise’s store,where she invites her ladyfriends and patrons tocall to examine her stock.Opposite Irving’s wharf,Front Street, NW”.

While there are fewdetailed accounts of reli-gious services, the localpapers did carry many ref-erences to the day and itsquiet, holiday-like attrac-tion.

“Yesterday being GoodFriday, the stores, gener-ally, were closed, andthe streets assumed theappearance of Sunday.”

Or “the day was dulyobserved by our citylieges.” Or “was generallyobserved by our citizens asa public holiday; serviceswere held at Holy Trinity,

St. Paul’s and the Catholicchurches.”

Easter and spring alsomean flowers, plants, andthe new growth of cropsin the valley and there wasalways much to bring thisto the community’s atten-tion.

“The weather continuesmagnificent, clear, brightand warm. Vegetationin every form is lookingbeautiful, the gardensare gorgeous with springflowers, the only indica-tion of the early portionof the year; otherwise it

has all the appearance andwarmth of summer.”

And there was anotherreference to items, quitecollectible today: “calland see the Easter cards,handsomely painted by ayoung lady of B.C., andthe special assortment ofPrang’s Easter cards, at W.H. Keary’s Pioneer Bookstore.”

Louis Prang was a verypopular American printerof items including cards.Wonder who the “younglady of B.C.” was.

Happy Easter.

Finding right crops for shady garden

Question:We recently moved into a

home in Coquitlam. It is thefirst time we have owned aplace with a backyard and weare excited to start a garden.

I would love a gardenfrom which we could pickdelectable things to eat(herbs, veggies etc). But weoften get bears, raccoons,squirrels and others here.

What kind of things farewell in this climate and donot attract wildlife?

Also we have tall treesaround our backyard andonly get a little morningsunlight.

Siobhan Gatchalian,Coquitlam

Answer:Few crops meet all

the criteria you have: theshade, the tall trees andhungry wildlife. I amincluding slugs in my ideaof “wildlife” because theycan create havoc in manygardens, especially shadyones.

Food crops that shouldfit your situation withouta lot of extra work includerhubarb and stronglyaromatic shade-tolerantherbs such as mint (inva-sive!), chives and parsley.

Arugula and corn saladaren’t a favourite of deeror slugs in my garden.

Though slugs can eatfruit of alpine strawber-ries, much of it staysuntouched.

Raspberries are alsoshade-tolerant, but deerdo “prune” the stems inwinter.

Most kinds of vege-tables and fruit for temper-ate climates do well here,provided you plant at theright times and choosevarieties intended forcoastal areas of southernB.C. But none of it is total-ly workfree.

Most successful garden-ers in wildlife-active areasroutinely do some protec-tion and use avoidancetactics.

For instance, slugsmunch on many seedlingsof plants, which they avoidcompletely when the samekinds become mature.They don’t cross coppertape.

Plastic milk jugs withcaps removed and topscovered with mesh makeslug-proof greenhouses.Pet-friendly slug baits aresold in garden centres.

Leafy crops tolerate partshade much better thanfruiting crops do.

Leafy vegetablesinclude cabbage, broc-coli, kale, arugula, spin-ach, swiss chard, lettuce,purslane (delicious butinvasive) and many Asianvegetables like bok choy.

Unfortunately, deer love

eating leafy vegetables.Netting these (pea-nettingor fishnet) does work.

Also, deer hate puttingtheir faces in brancheswith multiple tiny twigs.

It would be helpful tostay uncommitted aboutwhat you can and can’tgrow until you’ve triedmany different things.

Most vegetables needa minimum of four hoursof sun, while (sun-loverslike squash, tomatoes etc.)

need much more.Location is also import-

ant. I wonder if you have asunnier, or at least lighter,space outside your frontfence.

Boulevard gardeninghappens in Vancouver fre-quently.

Also climbing vege-tables (pole beans, tallpeas) can reach up intomore light – sometimesjust enough to producemore of a crop than would

happen with bush varietiesat the shadier groundlevel.

The tall trees aroundyour garden have probablymade a network of hungryroots in your soil.

Also if you’re on a hill-side, you may find yourground is full of bouldersand not easily diggable.

You’ll probably find iteasier to grow food cropsin raised beds and mayneed to bring in topsoil

and some compost suchas Sea Soil or commercialcompost.

These are generalguidelines, but I urge youto try a bit of everythinganyway over the years.

Experience is by farthe best way to find whatworks well for you andwhat won’t.

in a structured and organizedactivity, neither of which isnecessarily bad, but they don’tallow for a personal connec-tion with nature — certainlynot a connection that wouldlead to the building of the cha-pel in the woods on the edgeof the lake.

Think about how your kids canconnect with nature. Ironicallythey are probably aware ofmany natural phenomena suchas climate change, flooding ordrought, farmed versus wildsalmon or the concerns aboutthe low bird count this year.

But while they care aboutthese things, it’s primarily aca-demic.

Our kids need to get some dirtunder their nails, to feel the

earth, to experience nature ina natural way and to challengethemselves at the park, in thebush or even in their own backyards.

It has been interesting towatch the National HockeyLeague outdoor winter classicin past years. This was a regu-lar hockey game but it wasplayed outdoors, in winter.Wow! The joy was in watchingthe players.

They became excited kids;they recalled their days ofplaying on the local outdoorrink or pond when they weregrowing up. Sidney Crosby, aNova Scotia native and an NHLstar who played in the gamesaid: “Growing up, I playeda lot outside. When you see70,000 people jammed into astadium to watch hockey, it’sa good sign. The atmosphereand environment, I don’t thinkyou can beat that.” And duringthe game all the commenta-tors started reminiscing abouttheir childhood experiences.

OK, we don’t have outdoorskating on the Lower Mainland,but the point is that any activi-ty that we experience in natureis different. Swimming in poolsis nice but getting into a lake,

river or the ocean is completelydifferent. It’s more real. We’reconnected with the natural en-vironment for swimming.

Give your kids the gift of na-ture. Start with your yard orneighbourhood. Let them ex-plore in their own way. Maybeyour child will choose to squaton the lawn and watch a pa-rade of ants returning home.Or you’ll see her roll around,feeling the grass all over herbody. Or he’ll find a tree toclimb.

Then go to the local park andlet them decide what to do.Expand to the beach, to largerparks and nature centres.

It’s not difficult. Just find plac-es that are outdoors, dress thekids in clothing that can getdirty and will keep them warmand reasonably dry and letthem go.

We live surrounded by nature.Let’s send our kids out to play.

Introduce your kids tothe great outdoors

outside play

Iwas a skinny teenager,all angles and bones. Iweighed about 98 pounds

soaking wet.

One summer I was a juniorcamp counsellor and took ona special project. Along withinterested campers I identifieda plateau in the bush, lookingout over the lake. A perfectspot, I figured, to sit and con-template nature. A perfectspot for a chapel.

Now I need to add that I wasnot only a skinny little thing;I was not very strong and

tended to be marginally clum-sy. But I knew what I wantedand over the weeks built thechapel using flat-sided logsas seats. Every spare momentwas spent digging, haulingand organizing the space. Idon’t think I was totally cleanfor weeks.

It was one of my most amazingaccomplishments. One eve-ning, I led the parade of all thecampers and staff to our newchapel. It was dusk and we setcandles on sticks and let themfloat out over the lake. It was amagical moment.

And I wonder, would it havehappened today? Would I, askinny urban teenager be con-nected enough to nature towant to do all that work in or-der to simply sit and look outover the lake? Would I chooseto engage in grubby and hard

work just for a dream?

I was a city kid and today I ama thoroughly urban woman.But when I tote up my ac-complishments to date, this isalways on the list. So how didit happen or, more important-ly, why is it so unlikely that itwould happen again?

And the answer is simple.I played outdoors. Even if Ichose to simply sit and readI would do it resting my backagainst the broad and sup-portive trunk of the big mapletree in our yard. I dug in thesand, swung high over theraspberry canes, climbed treesand raced up and down theblock with the other kids.

Today, I would be sitting infront of the computer or hang-ing out at the mall. If I wereoutside I would be engaged

Exercise calf muscles for more stability

Question:I have an old ankle injury

that is acting up; what is agood exercise to strengthenthat area?

Answer:Ankle sprains and feel-

ings of ankle instabilitycan be very frustratingand take longer than otherinjuries to heal because theankles bear the weight ofthe entire body.

Three-way heel raiseswill help to strengthenyour calf muscles, whichin turn provide strength

and stability to the lowerleg.

To perform this exer-cise, place the balls of bothyour feet on a two-inchriser or similar object. Startwith your toes pointing inand ankles out. Slowly riseonto your toes and holdfor one to two seconds.

Return to your startingposition and perform fiveto 10 repetitions. Performyour next five to 10 rep-etitions with your toespointing out and the finalfive to 10 repetitions withyour toes pointing straightahead.

You should feel thisexercise in your calfmuscles. Take a 20 to 40second break and performtwo to three sets, depend-ing on your comfort level.

To increase the diffi-culty of this exercise, useone leg at a time instead

of two.Question:

Is it better to breathe outon the hard part of the exer-cise or the easy part?

Answer:Strengthening exercises

have a concentric con-traction (shortening) andan eccentric contraction(lengthening).

For example, when per-forming barbell curls theconcentric contraction iswhen you are curling thebarbell up to your chestand the eccentric contrac-tion is when you lower thebarbell down. With barbellcurls, the hardest part isthe way up because youare fighting gravity.

In general, it is best tobreathe out during thispeak exertion part of theexercise. However, themost important thing to

remember when weighttraining is to breathe con-sistently and to develop arhythm with your exercisepace.

Do not hold yourbreath while performingstrengthening exercisesas it is necessary for yourmuscles to be providedwith oxygen. If you holdyour breath you will getdizzy and your strengthwill be limited.

Question:What is the best leg ton-

ing exercise that I can do at

home?Answer:

Dumbbell squats are agreat exercise for toningup your lower body, espe-cially your quadriceps andgluteus maximus.

To perform this exercisestand with good posture,holding your dumbbellsat your sides. Your feetshould be shoulder widthapart with your toesangled slightly outward.Keep your back flat andbend your knees, loweringyourself into a full squat-ting position with your

knees bent to approxi-mately 90 degrees or yourthighs parallel to the floor.Without bouncing in thebottom position, slowlyreverse the movementand return to the startingposition.

Perform two to threesets of 10 to 15 repetitionstwo to three times eachweek and you will seeand feel your legs changeshape.

Tim Stephens' Astral ReflectionsTim Stephens' Astral Reflections March 31 - April 6, 2013March 31 - April 6, 2013Aries March 21 - April 19: You start the weekwith a feeling of wisdom and harmony, yet youknow you are in the midst of a huge change, oran exhausting struggle to maintain the status quo.Change would be better: yield to it. Your ambitionreturns Tuesday/Wednesday – good, take (wise)steps. The week ends, Thursday/Friday, with afeeling of celebration and social delight. You’reconfident, liked, and you see a good, buoyantfuture. A light romance might begin. Retreat, sleep,contemplate, plan Saturday. This week and thoseahead are the best in 3 years for starting a program,project, or relationship.

Taurus April 20-May 20: A significant monetaryor sexual shift tries to nudge you into actionor commitment Sunday/Monday. Or, you mightdiscover your latest idea is illegal. Do act Sunday,not Monday. (Act, but don’t create.) In general, youare tired this week, so even favourable activitiesshould not be overdone. That said, midweek bringsglimmers of love, especially if your land’s still coldand snowy. Intellectual, far travel, cultural and legalactivities are favoured also. Ambition and prestige,always a good luck/bad luck story this year, areemphasized Thursday/Friday. Happiness, Saturday!

Gemini May 21-June 20: Sunday brings change,or you sense change around you, in ways that aren’teasy to discern: they connect to your social circleand your private self, especially your yearning self.All this ultimately stands on or affects a relationship:hints Monday. Midweek brings new mysteries, butdelicious ones, as temptation and curiosity rule.Do your research; ask your future (e.g., does yourpresent path intersect with your desired future?). Amellow, wise mood steals over you Thursday/Friday:a light romance might visit. Watch the world withambitious eyes Saturday; if working, impress.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Maintain an ambitiousapproach. Someone you admired for a long timemight have changed since 2010, maybe 2009, andyou don’t approve. But we all go through phases inour lives: this is his/her new phase. Tackle choresjudiciously Sunday: if you seem to be opening evenbigger problems, step back and think, perhapsabandon the task. Be co-operative, diplomaticTuesday/Wednesday: the chance you’ll meet yourtrue love, while extremely low, does exist: it wouldbe a tempestuous marriage. Sexual urges, financialopportunities, draw you Thursday/Friday – luckilyafter 7 p.m. Thursday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Romance fills Sunday/Monday – or pleasure, or beauty or charming kids ora fine creative surge. But these days also ring the bellof change – a silent bell, that hints at employment orhealth changes. You’ll need to find a way to align yourethics and idealism with your work: or to change yourwork. Tackle chores Tuesday/Wednesday, when this“work change” is highlighted..) Thursday/Friday bringrelationships, opportunities and challenges. Physicalintimacy, financial growth, research and commitmentfill Saturday. This good week moves from romance torecognition/approach to bonding.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your home – and changesto it that arise via love, children – fill Sunday toWednesday. For example, news of pregnancy mightarrive. Or, if single, you might sense how love couldchange your living arrangements.Tuesday/Wednesdaynudge you into a romantic, creative mood – avoidtemperament, disruption. Tackle chores Thursday/Friday – great luck here (e.g., your efforts earn a boss’praise) AFTER 7 p.m. Thursday (PDT). Relationships,opportunities, challenges, opposition or co-operation,new horizons – these arise in a new way Saturday. Allweek, sex and finances need commitment.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Serious relationshipthemes fill this week and the next two. You couldmeet your life mate, or make momentous decisionsregarding partnership. Sunday/Monday seems likea casual, conversational, travel/errand filled time,but deeper down the cosmos is whispering aboutyour abode, your family, and deep change. Canyou accept, find or keep love while your home isunder change? Can you grasp opportunities whileyour home keeps you tied to one place? Examinethis Tuesday/Wednesday, then begin a new path orproject in the domestic or real estate area. Romance,creativity soar late week!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The general accent lies onwork, health, and dependents’ needs. Chase moneyduring a smooth, lucky Sunday/Monday. (Monday’s abit of a dud for Europe and theAmericas.)Yourwork rolemight change: that’s okay. Midweek brings errands,calls, visits, paperwork and casual acquaintances– act calmly, not impetuously: accidents possible.Head for home Thursday/Friday (at work, deal withfoundations, structures – and nurturing less seniorco-workers). Your investment, realty luck are highThursday night AFTER seven.A whiff of romance perksyou up Saturday: go out, find pleasure!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The weeks aheademphasize romance – in a significant way, as morethan the usual number of single Sages will open thedoor to marriage now or in June.Your energy, charismaand effectiveness (and timing) are strong Sunday/Monday: you’ll attract attention. But you also sensechange brewing in your money zone, which could“threaten” romance or your children’s brightest future.Meet these changes head-on Tuesday/Wednesday. Ifyou need a new approach, method or job, find/start it,now. Communications, travel, paperwork and friendlymeetings fill late week. Home’s sweet, Saturday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The main accent lies onhome, family, parent/kid relations, security, retirementplans, nutrition, gardening, Mother Nature and soul.Decide who/what stays, who goes. There’s nothingwrong with sinking into a deep rest now. You’re wearySunday/Monday. Sunday’s excellent for holding aconfidential meeting with an advisor, trusted friend.Your energy and charisma return somewhat Tuesday/Wednesday, but luck’s rather mixed, so advance withdiplomacy. Chase money (or spend) Thursday AFTER7 p.m. PDT, or Friday morning. Saturday’s for curiosity,short trips, casual acquaintances.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Friendly meetings,communications, visits and short trips keep you busyall week. This is a good time to upgrade your phoneor computer system. (Not Sunday, nor April 9 or 16.)Sunday/Monday bring friends, popularity, social joys,wish fulfillment, optimism and happiness. Deep down,Sunday through Wednesday, you might sense thatyour relationship with government or head office ischanging, and with it your status – this can be up ordown, choose which you want. Lie low, rest Tuesday/Wednesday. Your energy and charisma soar Thursday/Friday – get out, contact VIPs. Shop Saturday.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The monthly accentlies on money, earnings, spending and possessions.This is a significant time for these, so do all you canto set this area on a solid, growth course. Study theinfluence of education, legalities, international trends,and your cultural/ethnic group on, for instance, yourearning capacity (especially Sunday and Tuesday).Your career, ambitions, reputation and relationswith important people are highlighted Sunday (best)and Monday. Midweek brings joy, popularity, wishfulfillment – with a few snags. Rest, plan Thursday/Friday. Saturday, you’re the star!
