Burnaby-New WestminsterMP Peter Julian is invitingresidents to sound off abouttrain noise.
Julian is holding a commu-nity forum about railway noisein the New Westminster Quayneighbourhood on Sunday,May 30 from 2 to 4 p.m. Themeeting is being held in theHyack Room North at the Innat Westminster Quay.
When the federal govern-ment was considering legisla-tion concerning railway oper-ations about three years ago,Julian tried to get the govern-ment to include amendmentsthat would have restrictedoperations in urban zones todaylight hours. He said thegovernment didn’t includethose amendments, saying theprocess included provisions toaddress concerns about noisefrom rail yards.
On April 13, the QuaysideCommunity Board filed anoise and vibration complaintrequesting that the CanadianTransportation Agency issuean operating guide for therail companies that restrictsoperation in this rail yard tobetween 7 a.m. and 11 p.m.The Canadian TransportationAgency assisted the QuaysideCommunity Board in 2008 inreachingamediatedsettlementwith rail companies operatingin the rail yard adjacent to theQuayside neighbourhood.
After the forum, Julianwill work with residents ona plan to have the govern-ment address the issue. Juliansaid laws are put into placebecause not everyone willabide by a voluntary code.

The school district and the city are con-tinuing to hammer out the details arounda new high school for New Westminsterstudents.
The school district needs the city’s sup-port to build the new high school becausethe City of New Westminster owns por-tions of the site and the school districtowns other parts of the site, which isbounded by Eighth and 10th avenues andEighth and Sixth streets.
“We are having meetings together andtrying to search out what Victoria is think-ing, what the possibilities are,” said Mayor
Wayne Wright. “I think we are growing allthe time. We have been at it so long. Thereare only so many cans you can kick at.”
Wright wouldn’t address rumours thatprogress is being made regarding plansfor the high school site and constructionof a new school to replace the aging NewWestminster Secondary School.
“I am confident we are going to do it,”he said. “I really am.”
Construction of a new high school wasdelayed in 2008 after an old cemetery waslocated on the site, meaning the districthas less land on which to build a new highschool.
The site is also home to Mercer Stadiumand Massey Theatre.
Coun. Bill Harper wants to see if thecity could benefit from greener energysources.
Harper said Terasen Gas has a programin place to help cities build strategiesaround the creation of central heatingsystems.
He said those systems can be appliedto one building (such as a civic centre or aschool) or an area (such as the Braid indus-trial area, or the Brewery District develop-ment/Royal Columbian Hospital).
Council passed a motion directing staffto meet with Terasen and report back on
the feasibility of developing a central heat-ing distribution program as part of greenengineering and greenhouse gas policy.
“Some of our main construction piecesare up for grabs,” Harper said. “We needto be talking to them.”
Once council has a staff report, he saidthe city will have a better understandingon how these different heating systems canbe applied.
“Terasen Gas provides grants,” Harpernoted. “That is one of the motivators fordoing this. “

by existing windmills than in the 40-yearhistory of the oil sand mining project.
New research is on the brink of revolu-tionizing the production of the un-mine-able oil sands will have enormous impactof emissions.
Readers should research PetrobankEnergy on the TSX. Branding the Athabascaoil sands wrongly now has a serious nega-tive impact on the new greener process.
The reality is that the oil sands are thegreatest economic generator in Canada’sfuture. It is taking up the decline in theauto and other manufacturing industriesin Canada.
It provides jobs in all parts of Canada(17 per cent of the residents are fromNewfoundland and Labrador, and hun-dreds more commute). It pays huge taxesdirectly to Ottawa and, through Alberta’scontributions to regional equalization, toall other provinces. It is a major contribu-tor to the Canadian balance of trade.
Without it, every Canadian would bepaying an enormous amount for seasonaland other imported foods and every otherimported goods. Thousands of Canadiansreceive monthly dividends from the oper-ating companies directly or through theirpension plans, which are heavy investors.
Global warming may be a threat. Butit cannot be resolved at the expense ofCanada’s major economic driver. It can-not be solved without the co-operationof all the nations of the world. It cannotbe solved by the astronomical costs ofthe current alternate energies. Fortunately,Canada has this huge and useful resource
to protect it from the coming worldwidefinancial crisis. We are lucky to have thisasset. Without it, we will be all poorer.
The area of Fort McMurray has a popu-lation of over 60,000, or about the sameas New Westminster. The greens want toput them and many more thousands outof business. Do any of us support thatkind idea? Are the rash opinions of a fewgreens more important than the truth andthe importance of the oil sands to the citi-zens of Fort McMurray and the economyof Canada?

Enough with Liberal liesDear Editor:
The B.C. Liberal Party continues lyingto the public time and time again. I’m sickof this party’s games with the public. Thevoting public need to wake up and send amessage to the arrogant and inconsiderateLiberal Party of B.C.
By this I mean send letters to two orthree Liberal MLAs and vent your argu-ments over the HST, carbon tax, and taxafter tax they have tacked on goods in thiswonderful city and province.
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say again,“Don’t mess with voters’ heads, Liberals,or you’ll be ancient history in the monthsahead.” I’m very blunt with my words forwhich I’m sorry. I’m an honest and trust-ing young worker in this province, andI don’t think I or anyone in the provincedeserves to be screwed over by the B.C.Liberal Party anymore.
Have a great day, everyone. I know Iwill. Come election time … vote!

Euro zone is collapsingunder excessive taxation,stagnant growth and gov-ernment overspendingto compensate, can we atleast agree the HST theredidn’t create the economicboom the Liberals are try-ing to sell us on here?
So just where is thismagical HST land wherethe economy is booming
and jobs are being cre-ated due to such a tax?Alberta – whoops – notakers. Manitoba? Wrongagain. Saskatchewan?Nope – they tried it in1991 and got rid of it, andthe government who gaveit to them! Imagine that.They actually got to try thebenefits of this wonder taxfor one-and-a-half yearsand threw it out the first
chance they got. Whatingrates.
If only they had ColinHansen’s Liberal vision forthe people. “A chicken inevery pot, a (used) car inevery garage, and an HSTon everything.”

currently working in the city, one was from someonewanting to work in the city, and another was from acompany that’s looked at sites in the city in the past butdidn’t proceed. One submission didn’t meet all the city’srequirements.
“At the end of it, really good submissions,” she said.“We are going through the evaluation and interviewprocess.”
The city determined that a site in the 700 block ofColumbia Street, between Eighth and Begbie streets,would be the best location for the $35-million multi-usecivic facility.
The City of New Westminster attended an UrbanDevelopment Institute meeting in April to unveil itsrequest for expressions of interest for developers inter-ested in development of a multiuse civic facility withpossible high-density, mixed-use tower. Having securedgaming funds to build the civic facility, the city is inter-ested in “leveraging opportunities” that could be gainedby partnering with a developer.
Two developers who attended that meeting but aren’tcurrently working in the city are among those who madesubmissions.
“If it works, that’s great,” Spitalesaid. “If it doesn’t, that is OK. The cityis entitled to have expectations.”
Turnbull Construction Services,which has been hired by the city tomanage the multi-use civic centre pro-ject, will ensure this process doesn’tcreep into the project’s timelines.
“We really need to be on the site,demolishing buildings in January2011,” Spitale said.
“That means in the next few monthswe have to nail down, will there be adeveloper partner? What does that
look like?”Spitale said there’s no guarantee the city will decide to
partner with a developer on the civic centre project.“Absolutely not,” she said. “We are in the full due
diligence process right now.”The nine developers submitted their vision for the site
and a concept about how the project would work. Thecity will then decide what the various proponents wouldbring to the table and what it would mean in terms of theproject’s overall cost.
Spitale said it’s evident the proponents have read thecity’s downtown community plan and understand theprinciples of that plan.
“We have had some pleasant surprises, in terms ofsome of the submissions in terms of the creativity,” shesaid. “In my own mind, I thought they would be high-density residential, and they haven’t been.”
While there are some common characteristics in theirsubmissions, Spitale said there are variations becausethe developers have honed in on different aspects of thedowntown plan.
The plans principles include improving economicdevelopment opportunities and building a completecommunity.
Some developers may be asked to submit detailedproposals.
While some community members have speculatedwho the city may partner with, Spitale said no decisionhas been made.
“At this point, every submission is looked at equally.… Personally, I wouldn’t be involved in something that isa fait accompli,” she said.
The multi-use civic centre site would be bordered byEighth and Begbie streets, from Columbia Street to belowthe SkyTrain guideway. The city’s portion of the projectmust be complete by December 2013.
The City of New Westminster has yet to solidify whatamenities would be included in the facility, but theatrespace, art studios, recreation space, archives and museumfacilities, meeting rooms, banquet and convention meet-ing space are among the uses being considered.
The city previously purchased 801 Columbia St. forpotential use as a civic centre or civic building site. Citystaff believe the two properties could work together andallow for two gateway developments at the foot of EighthStreet and Columbia Street.
Development: Civiccentre project drawsplenty of interest◗ continued from page 1
Pier park construction starts in JuneThe City of New Westminster has $25 million to build
Westminster Pier Park, but it would cost $53.9 million tocomplete the entire waterfront park.
A consultant’s report states that the city always antici-pated that the park would be built in two or more phases.Work being done in Phase 1 will be covered by the federal,provincial and municipal governments, whichhave each agreed to contribute $8.3 million.
All totalled, $22 million is available forconstruction, as some costs relate to planningand project management. The option sup-ported by staff and council includes changesto accommodate the budget: the Sixth Streetpier is being reduced in size; the main east-west boardwalk will be moved two metresinshore and changed from a pile-supportedmarine deck to a shallow retaining wall; theFourth Street pier is being reduced in size;and the offshore edge of the festival lawn area(a gathering space) will be moved inshore byabout two metres.
City administrator Paul Daminato said Phase 1 willextend from Sixth Street to Fourth Street.
“There is a little extension beyond Fourth Street,” hesaid. “Part of the old deck is going to be reconditioned.”
While the length of the piers at Sixth and Fourth streetsis being shortened somewhat so more green space can becompleted at this time, Daminato said it is still a “hugearea” for park-goers. Programming to be offered withinthis area includes a central plaza, a gateway space, wash-rooms and concessions, a children’s playground, piersthat extend out over the water and a gathering space.
Daminato said the gathering space is about 50 per centof the size of what had been proposed in the designs andwill accommodate about 1,000 people. Because it is next tothe older part of the deck that’s being resurfaced, the areawill still be able to accommodate at least 2,000 people.
Coun. Jonathan Cote believes the city will be able tocomplete 60 to 70 per cent of the park by reducing the sizeof the pier structure that goes out into the river. He saidthe city wants to include as many elements in the park as
possible, so it is not just an exten-sion of the boardwalk.
“The festival lawn from theprevious design, it will be aboutone-half of what the full plan is,”Cote said. “The boardwalk willcontinue for most of the prop-erty.”
Coun. Bill Harper said the fes-tival lawn area is a critical compo-nent of the park.
“It’s very important,” he said.“It’s an area where you can put2,000 people, you can have festi-vals.”
Infrastructure for a portion of the park on the easternside of Sixth Street won’t be updated during Phase 1, butit will be resurfaced.
“It will have a walkway right around it,” Harper said.“It is perfectly usable. You can put as many people onthere as you want.”
While that portion of the site can accommodate usessuch as playing courts, soil can’t be placed on top ofthe asphalt because moisture could leak through to thewooden portions underneath.
Daminato said the use for that portion of the site is still
to be determined, but it could accommodate sports courtsor open areas for festivals.
“We haven’t got into specifics,” he said. “We want tomake it a multipurpose, useful area.”
While the newer portions of the pier will have a 100-year life cycle, Cote said this portion will have a life cycleof 10 to 15 years.
Mayor Wayne Wright wants the city to build as muchinfrastructure as it can and allow others to add the “icing”
in the future.“I want to get as much infrastructure into
the water as possible and allow people toadd onto it as time goes on,” he said. “Therewill still be a park. You will add to it as youwould.”
Daminato said the entire brownfield siteis being remediated in Phase 1. The report tocouncil outlines some of the costs for Phase1: demolition – $960,000; soil remediation –$1,480,000; soil densification – $2,880,000; off-shore piling and concrete deck – $5.1 million;earthwork for new park – $1 million; hard andsoft landscaping – $4.5 million; improvementson existing wharf structure – $400,000; and
other costs (project management, engineering, etc.) – $3.1million.
Wright said he was surprised at costs related to land-scaping, which would total about $6 million. Despitetight timelines required in order to meet federal grantobligations, city officials are confident the project can becompleted by the March 31, 2011 deadline. (See relatedstory below.) Cote said remediation of the brownfield siteis going well and is expected to be done by the end of themonth. Construction of pilings for the deck near SixthStreet will begin in June.
Burnaby-New West-minster MP Peter Julianwill be “pushing harder”in the weeks ahead to tryand convince the govern-ment to extend its timelinefor infrastructure projectsin Canada.
Julian said communitiesshould be able to spendinfrastructure grants in away that makes sense soprojects aren’t rushed tomeet artificial deadlines.
“I would agree youdon’t want an open-endedtimeline,” he said. “Thatdoesn’t make sense either.”
Julian is concerned thatthe federal government’sstrict timelines may becreating extra burdens formunicipalities.
“You are handicappingthese projects,” he said.“That doesn’t make a wholelot of sense.”
Julian said communitiesthat have received federalgrants may find themselvesincurring unnecessary costsby rushing projects throughto meet artificial deadlines.He believes a reasonableextended deadline is war-ranted.
“That is what munici-palities are looking for,” hesaid. “We will be puttingmore pressure on the gov-ernment.
The City of NewWestminster has received$8.3 million from each ofthe federal and provincialgovernments toward con-struction of WestminsterPier Park.
The federal governmentis requiring that work becompleted by March 31,2011.
“It’s something that wehave raised. We haven’t gota satisfactory response,”Julian said.
Coun. Bill Harperbelieves the City of NewWestminster could savemoney – and possibly buildmore of the park – if thefederal government wouldrelax its March 2011 con-struction deadline.
“We are going to haveto build the landscaping ontop of the deck at the timeof year it is recommendednot to do it, in the winter,”he said about work thatshould be done in milderweather. “Because of thesedeadlines, we can’t do that.It is going to cost us moremoney.”

Most people would be happy toget out of a jail. Local restaurateurJohn Klockow isn’t one of them.
He and his wife Kerry have spentthe past 12 years successfully runningthe Pen Café and Bistro inside theold B.C. penitentiary gatehouse onGovernor’s Court. They reluctantlydecided to close up shop recentlyafter losing a lengthy legal disputewith their landlord, PF Media, whichbought the historic Sapperton build-ing six years ago and operates acorporate translation service on thepremises.
Their business relationship turnedsour several years ago after plansto expand the restaurant into avail-able space next door fell apart. Thespot is now occupied instead by theSunshine Montessori Preschool.
“The owner, Jim Gee, told me ayear ago that he wouldn’t renew mylease when it was up in five years,”said Klockow. “I was really stuckbetween a rock and a hard place. Doyou tell your staff and have them allgo in bits and pieces, or do I wait fiveyears to close and then walk away?”
The decision has left 15 workers atthe restaurant unemployed.
Gee, however, claims he nevergave Klockow any such ultimatumand that the restaurant’s sudden clo-sure May 18 came as a surprise.
“What he is telling you is abso-lutely incorrect,” said Gee. “He’s gotan automatic five-year rollover withtwo automatic one-year extensionsfor a total of 12 years.”
Bailiffs have since been summoned
to secure the former jailhouse’s doors,but Gee said the decision to call themwasn’t acrimonious. “He shut hisdoors, and I had to secure the prem-ises,” said Gee, adding that he hasn’tbeen in touch with the Klockowssince. “He has a small amount ofshortfall in his rent, but the amountisn’t insurmountable, it’s a very smallamount of money.”
Gee said there are no immediateplans for new tenants to move in andhe would like to see the restaurantreopen.
“We would prefer him to contactus and see what the dispute is,” saidGee. “Apart from that, we have nofurther comment.”
Along with the legal dispute overthe failed expansion, Klockow gavea long list of alleged grievances thatinclude having the heat turned off
to downstairs washrooms, sufferingthree break-ins due to the lights beingcut off early in the morning, com-mon area fees shooting up and pub-lic access to the restaurant impededdue to neglected outdoor steps beingblockaded for the past several yearsrather than repaired.
“I’ve decided it’s best to move onand cut my losses,” said Klockow,who added the silver lining is thathe will finally be able to spend sometime with his 10-year-old son thissummer after years of working longweeks inside the restaurant.
“I have grounds for appeal, buthow much money do you throw atsomething? We just spent four fulldays in court with a lawyer charging$250 an hour. As a small business, Idon’t have a ton of extra money tothrow around.”

Dave Kasper clearly recalls the momenthe knew Queensborough was his home.
Kasper grew up in Coquitlamand thought that would be his home-town for life. He reluctantly moved toQueensborough five years ago but soonrealized he was home.
“It’s hard to describe. It’s like living50 years ago. All the amenities are closeto home now,” he said. “This is home. Ican’t see myself moving any-where.”
About three weeks aftermoving to Queensborough,Kasper was sitting near the tipof the island with his dogs.From his vantage point he couldsee SkyTrain passing throughNew Westminster, a tugboatand a barge on the Fraser River,a train crossing the railwaybridge, an airplane flying over-head and the Pattullo Bridge inthe distance.
“While I was sitting theretaking all that in, a seal cameout of the water with a 20-pound salmon in its mouth,”he recalled. “It was like, wherein the Lower Mainland can youhave all that going on and stillbe surrounded by wildlife? It was prettyphenomenal.”
On another occasion, Kasper’s dogwent into the Fraser River – only to bechased out by a beaver.
Kasper is among the residents lookingforward to the annual Queensborough Dayfestivities, which take place on Sunday,May 30 at the Queensborough CommunityCentre and Ryall Park. The theme of thisyear’s event is A Community That Believesin the Future.
“Queensborough is one of the fastest-
growing communities in New Westminsterright now,” said Renee Chadwick, man-ager of the Queensborough CommunityCentre. “With that comes new ideas, morepeople and amenities. There is a number ofamenities in the works right now.”
Parks and an expansion to the com-munity centre are among the amenitiesthat will help address the community’sgrowth.
Queensborough Day is $2 for adultsand free for children who are accompaniedby an adult. The event takes place from
11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The day’sentertainment lineup includeschildren’s dance groups (Irish,hip hop, ballet and bhangra),Polynesian dancers, singerGiovanni Zenone, the KokomaAfrican Heritage Ensemble, theLarkin Project blues band andGrupoamerica (Spanish danc-ers).
Several Queensborough res-idents are among the entertain-ers who will take to the stageon Queensborough Day.
“They are just starting out,”Chadwick said. “They are look-ing to the future too.”
The day’s festivities alsoinclude ethnic cuisine, a straw-berry tea, rides, crafts andother activities for children
and youth, a bike rodeo sponsored bythe New Westminster Police Service andinformative demonstrations and displays,including one about projects on the go inQueensborough.
Queensborough retains its sense of com-munity despite the development that’staking place, Kasper said.
“It is such an amazing place. It is suchan amazing place,” he said. “With all thenew parks being put in and the construc-tion put in, I think it is going to be thejewel of the Lower Mainland.”

The New Westminster Police Service iswarning residents about an old scam thatis rearing its head once again.
On May 23, at 4:15 p.m., a man wasknocking on doors in the 300 block ofRichmond Street.
The man described as Caucasian,approximately 35 and wearing khakis,asked a resident for cash, stating he wasin a car accident and needed money forhis vehicle to be towed. When the residentoffered to contact the police on his behalf,the man immediately left the area.
“Crooks and fraudsters like to rely onthe kind hearts of Good Samaritans,” saidSgt. Gary Weishaar in a press release.“Don’t bite the bait.”
Weishaar pointed out that not every-body who knocks on your door is suspi-cious. In cases where a person is at yourdoor representing a charity, check theircredentials.
“All accredited charitable agencies sup-ply their staff with identifying creden-tials,” said Weishaar. “You may even wantto contact the organization that they repre-sent to confirm they are whom they claimthey are.”
Police are continuing to look for theman involved in the May 23 incident, andanybody else who may have come intocontact with him can call the police non-emergency line at 604-525-5411.

Former New WestminsterMLA Joyce Murray hasjoined the army of redheads
who are honoring the memory ofEva Markvoort.
Murray, a former NewWestminster resident and MLAwho now lives and representsVancouver Quadra, has spokenof Eva in the House of Commons.She recently dyed her hair red aspart of the Reddy for a Cure fund-raiser for cystic fibrosis.
“I want to congratulate theorganizers of Reddy For a Cure.The campaign’s effectiveness canbe measured by the amount oftimes I’ve been asked about mynew hair colour,” Murray said. “Ifdying my hair red raises aware-ness of CF on Parliament Hill andleads others to help, then I amhonoured to participate.”
Murray, a longtime friend of theMarkvoort family, will attend theGreat Strides Walk for cystic fibro-sis on May 30.
Eva passed away March 27,having been diagnosed with cysticfibrosis at the age of one. She hadundergone a double lung trans-plant in October 2007 but laterwent into chronic rejection.
Eva, the 2002 Miss NewWestminster Ambassador, wasthe subject of the award-winningdocumentary 65_RedRoses.
BRANDFX, a communicationsagency based in North Vancouver,has teamed up with Suki’s hairsalons and the Canadian CysticFibrosis Foundation on the ReddyFor a Cure fundraising campaign,which seeks to raise money andawareness about Cystic Fibrosisand recognize Eva.
Kim Bowie, who isBRANDFX’s public relations andsocial media manager, was a closefriend of Eva.
“Eva’s legacy lives in all ofus, and together, we will worktowards finding a cure for CF,”Bowie said. “Eva’s dream was forCF standing for ‘Cure Found.’ Itis our goal to carry that dream forher until it does.”
The “Reddy For a Cure” projectlaunched on May 16 at the unveil-ing of the 65 Red Roses art piecethat was spearheaded by local art-ist Angela Au Hemphill.

Two Royal City mothers are hoping tomake coupon clipping and saving moneycool again.
Heather McGrath and Danielle Connellyare the co-owners of Mother of a Deal, adeal-hunting website with a local bent.
Since Connelly started the company in2009, the little company has grown to hav-ing more than 1,500 subscribers to its regu-lar newsletter and more than 10,000 visitorsper month to the company’s website, www.motherofadeal.com.
“We’ve also got more than 1,500 follow-ers on Facebook and Twitter,” said McGrath,who used to work for a local credit unionbefore deciding for a better work-life bal-ance with husband Patrick and daughtersLeah, 3, and Neve, 21 months.
In fact, McGrath’s involvement in Motherof a Deal came from an e-mail Connellysent out earlier this year.
“I’d been using the website to find deals,and Danielle sent out a note saying shewould probably be scaling back and tryingto spend more time with her own family,”said McGrath. “I thought this was sucha great service that I had to help where Icould.
“We got together for lunch, and we hit it
off, and that’s how I got involved.”For Connelly, McGrath has been a breath
of fresh air.“My father had just passed away, and I
needed the time to spend with my family,”said Connelly. “When Heather e-mailedand we met, it really did breathe new lifeinto this business.”
Even better for the new busi-ness partners was the fact theylived only five blocks apart.
“We were literally neigh-bours,” said Connelly.
McGrath’s involvement hasallowed Connelly to spend moretime with her sons, Colburn, 5,and Evan, 3.
The partnership became offi-cial on April 1, and the part-ners are under no illusions thatthey’ll be getting rich any timesoon.
“Danielle is in charge of thedaily editing on the site, and I’mdoing the sales and marketing,”said McGrath. “We get somerevenue from sponsored linksand contests, and our ultimate goal is thatwe’ll be able to make this into a part-timejob that pays us a bit. … We’re not in it tomake gazillions of dollars.”
Even if that pot of gold never comes,McGrath is happy she can help other moth-ers save a little money.
“I think what’s great about our site isthat it’s a one-stop place for busy moth-ers,” said McGrath. “I know that time is so
important, so to be able to go to one placeand find out where diapers are on sale orbaby clothes are on special, that’s some-thing that has some value.
“We know that mothers are the CEOsof the home, so if they can get a good deal,they’ll share it with other moms.”
And it was that idea of shar-ing that caused Connelly to startthe business in 2009.
“I’m known amongst myfriends as the one who’s alwayssaving and who always knowswhere the best deals are,” saidConnelly. “And I was gettingtired of calling 20 different peo-ple whenever a great deal cameup.”
When friend LouanneMidgley prompted her to dosomething that was more effi-cient, so began the Mother of aDeal journey for Connelly.
“I was looking at the self-employment program atDouglas College, and I had tohave a case study for my appli-
cation,” she said. “Going through the pro-cess of putting together a business conceptshowed me this could be done.”
Connelly slowly built up the business in2009, but when family tragedy hit, the busi-ness took a back seat.
Enter McGrath, who said her history ofsaving goes back to her university days.
“I was a poor student once,” she joked.

Messy situationRoyal City resident
Roberta Coyle is gratefulto a man who fished herstolen wallet out of a lessthan pretty place.
Coyle was having din-ner with a friend on May13 when she realized shedidn’t have her wallet withher. She later confirmedshe hadn’t left it at homeand quickly cancelled hercredit card.
Four nights later, a mancalled, saying he’d foundher red wallet while work-ing in Moody Park.
“He works for SuperSave Group. He cleans outporta-potties,” she said.“The wallet was sucked upand wouldn’t go throughthe tube.”
Roberta suspects some-one snatched the walletfrom her purse when she
left it unattended at thelibrary earlier in the day,and disposed of it in aporta-potty in the nearbypark.
“I didn’t drop it in theporta-potty,” she said.
Roberta appreciatesLawrence Jansen’s hones-ty in returning her wallet,as he made a special tripto New Westminster to doso on his own time.
“I think it is the mostunusual find,” she said.“He brought the walletback. He said he had steril-ized it.”
Robert is pleased tohave her ID back butdecided to ditch her wal-
let.“I threw it out,” she
said “It stunk.”The money that had
been in the wallet, approx-imately $40, had beentaken but everything elsewas intact. She appreciatedgetting her Care Card andother identification back.
“That in itself was agreat mental relief,” shesaid.
“I know I will nevercarry all that informationon me. I will carry theminimum and leave therest at home.”
“I remember eating noodles and having to really stretch thefood budget. … That was when I was bit by the bug andstarted loving saving money.”
Where McGrath draws the line is when you’re spendingmore money than you’re saving.
“I’ve heard of people who will drive across town to savea couple of bucks,” she said. “And they don’t factor in theirgas and time costs.
“For me, the savings have to be convenient, and that’swhy we’ve tried to make our site as local as we can.”
Connelly credits her mom Joy with getting her into thesaving frame of mind.
“I think it has to be genetic,”she said with a laugh. “My momalways told me to be thrifty andsmart with money, and that’ssomething I’ll be teaching mykids as well.”
A recent look at the www.motherofadeal.com websiterevealed a Lower Mainland-only sale at Gap stores, half-priceStarbucks frappuccino drinksfrom 3 to 6 p.m. and a note abouta 20 per cent off sale at MarksWork Warehouse.
McGrath pointed out that sav-ing money became very fashion-able in late 2008, just as the globaleconomic depression hit.
“The ‘cheap stigma’ that wasassociated with coupons in the past is quickly turning topride and bragging rights, she said, referencing a televisionnews story about an Edmonton woman who used couponsto turn a $200 grocery bill into a $3 bill.
McGrath said no matter how good the deal they find, itgets shared with all subscribers.
“We don’t hold anything back,” she said. “The better thedeal, the faster it goes up on the site and the more peoplewill see it,” she said.
“This started as a community for moms and that’s whywe don’t keep anything back,” said Connelly. “We’re alltrying to help each other save a little money and save alittle time.
“I enjoy the hunt of finding a good deal but I also enjoysharing it with others so they can benefit.”
And the future, with a bit of sweat equity, may be evenbrighter for the Glenbrook area residents.
“We’ve seen a huge response from the community,Lower Mainland and Canada. We even have newslettersubscribers from as far away as Australia, Europe and theMiddle East,” said McGrath.
“I think with Heather on board, we will see a lot moregrowth in the next year or so,” said Connelly. “There’s a lotmore we’ve got planned for the future.”

Tour theatrical historywww.royalcityrecord.com
VISIT
Recently there havebeen some discus-sions, some more
vociferous than oth-ers, about theatres andsimilar venues in NewWestminster. MasseyTheatre and the Burr (theold Columbia Theatre)have been most prominent.Other performance spacesthat have been in the newsinclude the Bernie LeggeTheatre, Douglas Collegeand Queens AvenueUnited Church. These, anda few others, are currentand well-used, but histori-cally this city has an inter-esting “theatre” story.
Looking back to theearly part of the 1900s,and of course to the 1800s,and the first selection ofrooms and meeting hallsthat were used for pre-sentations, performancesand gatherings, we findthat the list is really quitelengthy. The places rangedall the way from a saloonthat could become a “the-atre space” to a large operahouse. In fact, there weretwo opera houses.
Mr. Herring built hisown opera house onCarnarvon Street, nearSixth Street, and it servedwell for many years untilit was destroyed in thecity’s Great Fire of 1898.The city then got involvedwith a new large theatreconstructed at the cornerof Lorne and Victoriastreets. It only lasted untilthe ‘20s, as it wasn’t a verysound structure, but in itstime it was a busy place.It featured opera, musicaltheatre, orchestral concerts,oratory presentations,political meetings andeven wrestling matches.
Columbia Street hadmany theatre spaces forvaudeville and similartype performances, aswell as early motion pic-tures. Before the ColumbiaTheatre came along in1927 and set a newer, moremodern standard, therewere the Crystal, City,Royal and an early Edison
or two. A newer EdisonTheatre was renamed theParamount, which is stilldowntown today. One ofthe early spaces was a con-verted livery stable and itwas said to have an “inter-esting fragrance” in warmweather.
Apart from the earlysaloons providing placesfor a play or concert, therewas the Hyack Hall. Most
of the time it was a firehall, but other times, with-out the horses but filledwith chairs and benches,it was a place for concertsand meetings and evenoral school examina-tions. Two drill halls haveserved the communitywell. The early one was onCarnarvon near McKenzieStreet and was adaptablefor all sorts of town func-
tions. This was replacedby a much larger one inthe 1890s and this oneremains today as the homeof the Royal WestminsterRegiment.
Want more? A walk-ing tour of many of thesesites with references to atleast 40 past locations willtake place on Sunday, June6, starting at 1:30 p.m. infront of city hall.

When they returned toNew Westminster two years ago, Helen decidedto do what she does best - run and operate a greateatery.
Following in her mother-in-law’s footsteps, Erincame into the business 15 years ago.
The key to their success lies in using the freshestingredients and making everything from scratch.
“All the pasta sauces, the dough and saladdressings are made in-house,” says Erin, who co-owns and manages the popular eatery. “If Helencould, she’d make the meat herself.”
Helen’s signature pizza dough and sauce is afamily secret, one that she has used for more than30 years and her slow roasted lamb and homemademoussaka are also requested over and over again.
There is something for every palate, includingsucculent Greek dishes - inspired by theMediterranean - seafood, AAA steaks, pasta andmore.
Both agree that customer service and satisfactionis key to their continued success.
“I serve the customers the way I would like to beserved,” says Helen. “When we go out we expectthe food to be a cut above the rest, so that’s whatwe try to do for our customers.”
Both are honoured to have been nominated forbest service award through the New WestminsterChamber of Commerce Celebration of BusinessExcellence.

The award-winning Wine Factory has been serving New Westminsterfor 15 years. One of its shining stars is its retail sales associate, ArlynneHolowchak.
Arlynne is a specialist in the art of wine making and she subcribesto the company motto that says: “To make affordable wines that ourcustomers are proud to share with their family and friends!”
To achieve this, the Wine Factory does a few things differently thanits competitors.
“For example, we have an in-house, five-stage water treatmentfacility to make sure that the water we use when we make wine is justthat – water, no chlorine, no minerals, just water,” she says.
The attention to production quality control and its process meansArlynne doesn’t have to use chemicals, a clear advantage.
She also focuses on providing each customer with superior service.It helps when its state-of-the art bottling and corking equipment
makes bottling wines at the store a breeze. Generally it takescustomers less that 30 minutes to bottle, seal and label their wine forthe journey home.
In addition to offering a broad range of wines to suit the tastesof any consumer, Arlynne says the company offers a Barrel AgingProgram. Since virtually all good wines require some aging and manyof its clients live in condos and town homes they are hard pressed tofind space to lay down wine for extended aging.
The company, as is Arlynne, is committed to quality, service andcustomer satisfaction above anything else.
She says that if, for any reason, a customer is unsatisfied with theirwine, she will replace it, no questions asked.
Arlynne tries hard to get to know her customers so she can assistthem in making wine an affordable part of their lifestyles. She ishumbled that many of its customers recommend the Wine Factory totheir family and friends, but as they say, the proof is in the pudding.

Last year, while on a trip to the United States, herparents told her about a popular tanning salon, that waslined up every day. Seeing an opportunity, the youngsavvy entrepreneur decided to research the industry.“The space next door to Cartwright Jewelers becamevacant and when I told my mom that the space wasempty, she immediately said - "Let's open a tanningstudio,” says Chelsea. “Though I have never worked ina tanning studio, I've always tanned indoors and havetalked about it being a great business opportunity.”
She was right.In less than a year in operation, The Tanning
Studio has experienced growth and a loyal following.Customer service and a lifetime of involvement insome form or another in her family business hastaught Chelsea what it takes to ensure a profitable andthriving business - personal service, knowledgeableand friendly staff and brand-new, state of the artequipment.
Chelsea chose to open her business in NewWestminster, because as she says: “New Westminsterhas a great small town feel and is the perfect place for afamily business to succeed.”

No. 6 in mix of Jr. A memories
Walt Weaver’s numberis up on June 1.
The New Westminsterjunior A Salmonbelliespresident will have his No.6 jersey officially retiredin a ceremony duringthe first intermission ofthe B.C. Junior LacrosseLeague game againstthe Coquitlam Adanacsat Queen’s Park ArenaTuesday night.
The dedication cer-emony will celebrate notonly Weaver’s five sea-sons as a player with thejunior ‘Bellies, but alsohis administrative contri-butions as team governorand president.
“It’s certainly an hon-our and humbling to thinkof how it’s being preparedand supported. I hopethey will think of this aspart of our tradition,” saidWeaver. “I certainly didn’tcome back into lacrosse forthis to happen.”
Weaver has playedmore junior A games thanany other ‘Bellie, and his419 total points in five sea-sons, including three as itsteam captain, still stands10th all-time.
Weaver led the PacificJunior A Lacrosse Leaguein scoring in both 1970and ‘71. His best year was1970 when he tallied 52goals and 122 points. In1969, Weaver also scoreda career-high 56 markersfor New Westminster inthe final season of the oldInter-City junior league.
During that time,Weaver was picked up toplay in three Minto Cups,winning a Canadian juniorA lacrosse title with the
Richmond Roadrunners in1971.
But Weaver’s off-floorcontributions are every bitas accomplished.
Along with ForestDay, Harry Ferguson andBryan Jones, Weaver tookover control of a strug-gling junior Salmonbelliefranchise in 2006 and hasturned it into the third-highest-ranked team in thecountry in a recent weeklynational poll.
“I really did it becauseI remember what lacrossedid for me. It’s a great ageto be involved with it. Wewant kids to experiencethat. It’s a lifestyle to be
involved as a team on thenational stage and to havesome success,” Weaversaid.
Some of that successcame in 2007, when NewWestminster was awardedthe hosting rights for theMinto Cup.
The Salmonbellies upsetthe Six Nations Arrows intheir opening game andlost a one-goal decision tothe eventual finalist fromBurnaby in round robinplay.
New Westminster thenlost a heartbreaking 6-5 decision to the Easternchampions in the semifinalplayoff.
“I think (hosting theMinto) turned thingsaround,” Weaver added.“As an organization, wereally grew there, and itgave us a lot of credibil-ity.”
New Westminster hasbeen a factor in leagueplay ever since, and that issomething that the juniororganization prides itselfon, Weavers said.
Drafted No. 2 behindDave Durante in the first-ever junior league draft in1972, Weaver refused toreport to the Victoria teamthat acquired him.
In fact, he sat out anentire season while two
other teams dealt himin trades before he wasfinally shipped back to hisbeloved Salmonbellies byCoquitlam in 1974.
“I was proud. I wantedto be a Salmonbellie. Thereis such a strong feeling ofcommunity in our organ-zation,” he said. “There’sa culture of lacrosse. Weadjusted that pride andtradition to our organiza-tion.”

A powerful questionThis article is by Deb Little, Guest Columnist, WellnessCoach and Career Development Advisor.
What would you do if you knew you could notfail? This is a thought provoking question,particularly on the career front. Often we
get stuck in our limited perspectives of the world and who weare in it. This is because we only see where we are right now,or with limited possibility. We don’t believe in ourselves and ourabilities enough to dare to take a chance. What if you CAN havethe job of your dreams? Saying this does not suggest that youthrow caution to the wind, quit your day job, and go join a rockand roll band if you have only just started guitar lessons. WhatI am pointing out is your ability to create any opportunity foryourself, when the desire to do it is compelling enough. Feelingcompelled will increase your likelihood of success.How do we know when a career might be compelling? Ah,another great question. An opportunity is compelling when itmakes you feel energized and alive. Perhaps being an astronautis of interest to you. While it is not always possible to jump intoa spaceship to be able to try space travel, it is important to lookat the underlying experiences that excite you about the job. Inthe case of space travel, it might be risk taking; adventure;problem solving; or a keen interest in science that stir in yourbelly. Alternatively, it might be your desire to take the road lesstravelled; to work in small confined spaces; or the tranquilityyou feel being far away from it all.To discover careers that will be compelling to you call604-434-1177 and ask about the Transitions Program, ourgovernment funded (no fee) three-week career explorationprogram available to anyone who is unemployed orunderemployed and eligible to work in Canada.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections May 30 - June 5★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Aries March 21 - April 19: Be on your toesSunday/Monday, respond to higher-ups, be ambitious.Fun, light romance, optimism, fresh horizons buoyyour heart Tuesday/Wednesday! All this hopefulnessstill brings you to a choice between two people,prospects, actions, just as it has since last October.But this choice is about to be eradicated (by nextweek). Something major is about to end. Be graciousabout it.You might be anxious about it this Thursday toSaturday, as your energy, charm and self-confidencefall briefly. (Rest, don’t act.) You’re about to be free,cheerful, hopeful, next week into September!
Taurus April 20-May 20: Chase money, buy, sell,ask for a pay raise, cultivate new clients, etc. A long,friction-prone period in your domestic, realty andfamily arenas will turn to harmony by next weekonward. Communications, travel and relations withsiblings are sweet, affectionate all week, but don’t letaffection nudge you into making a promise or a newrelationship (or embarking on a trip) Sunday – there’sa hidden trap here. Sunday/Monday are mellow, wise.Be ambitious Tuesday (especially) and Wednesday.Popularity, happiness, flirtation, entertainment andbright horizons come Thursday-Saturday!
Gemini May 21-June 20: Your energy, charisma,effectiveness and clout hit a high note! Charge forth,accomplish, start significant new projects, demandaction, ask favours, see and be seen. You’ll impressothers! Your money picture looks good, but don’tmake decisions/plans nor take action here Sunday,as a subtle trap lurks. You’re still restless, travel-prone, but this will ebb next week onward, as willyour tendency to be a little forceful in speech andwriting. June/July might bring an end to dealingswith an Aries. Finances, sex, research Sunday/Monday. Mellow love mid-week. Be ambitiousThursday onward.
Cancer June 21-July 22: Lie low, rest, contemplate,seek spiritual awareness, be charitable, deal withgovernment, large corporations and institutions.Fulfil obligations, but don’t volunteer for more. Yoursolitude will be lightened two ways: 1) it’s sweet;and 2) talkative friends seek you out. Use this quietperiod to plan, because next week into Septemberwill offer luck in career, business and prestige arenas.Approach others, co-operate Sunday/Monday: thatperson could bring you significant benefits, wisdom.Secrets, sex, big finances fill mid-week. You reachmellow understanding Thursday to Saturday.
Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Your hopes rise on a breezeof popularity, wishful thinking, light romantic feelingsand just an all-round joy in life! Since last October,you’ve been scowling (and red-faced,physically)morethan usual, but next week dissolves this influence,and new friends will flow in! (They flow your waythis week, too, especially Tuesday/Wednesday – but“friend” isn’t the word: enemy or intense attractionare more accurate terms.) Tackle chores Sunday/Monday. Exciting meetings, opportunities mid-week.Mysteries, intimacy, significant choices/commitmentsarise Thursday onward: go slow, reject fantasy.
Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Ambition, prestige,community status, career, dealings with authoritiesand higher-ups,parents, judges,bosses – these fill theweeks ahead. Sunday/Monday are romantic, creative,kids charm you – but commit to nothing Sunday (asubtle trap lurks). Tackle chores Tuesday/Wednesday.You’ll meet both opportunities and oppositionThursday to Saturday – be diplomatic. For sevenmonths sex, intimacy, large finances, investmentsand lifestyle choices have irked, restricted, frightenedyou. In June/July you’ll seize these matters with asuccessful brew of courage and (sexual) magnetism!Big changes!
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The weeks ahead featurelove, wisdom, logic, higher education, far travel,legal and cultural events. June to September boostsyour luck in relationships, opportunities, litigation,contracts, public interfacing and relocation. (Thesemight arise through a conversation, or “casual” friend.)To increase this luck, seek partnership, go outward,further the desires of others. It’s a mere foretaste of2011’s luck, unless you were born around Sept. 23-26 (in which case it could be major now). You mightfear “partnering” or an Aries all June/July – trust yourinstincts. Love, midweek.
Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The weeks ahead holdmysteries and demand research. Use your interiorradar; look for skeletons, solutions and treasures.Commitment, consequence, intimacy, large finances,lifestyle changes, deep health and depth psychology,occultism, hidden meanings and “eureka” momentswill occur.Your logic and intuition will operate smoothlyand well, but careful Sunday, when these represent apossible trap. Write reports, notes (or travel) Sunday/Monday. Take a deep rest Tuesday/Wednesday. Yourromantic, creative, risky, winning side emergesThursday to Saturday. Angry or impatient bosseswithdraw soon.
Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Make no moneyagreements/commitments Sunday, but do chase thestuff (or buy things) Monday. The weeks ahead holdexcitingmeetings,opportunities,relocation,negotiations,dealings with the public – and opposition, perhapsenmity. Marriage and divorce. So much depends onyour life thus far, and your nature. Investments, intimacy,lifestyle changes hold a sweet trap Sunday, sweetsuccess Monday. Talk, travel mid-week. Retreat to re-organize home, business foundations, to recuperateThursday onward. A legal fight might end soon. Becautious with bosses, judges June/July.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: You face several weeksof chores. A Gemini would make a great helper, if youcan enlist him/her. Your energy and effectiveness aretops Sunday/Monday, so start projects, tackle “feared”chores. (But sign nothing, nor woo anyone, Sunday.)Chase money Tuesday/Wednesday – Tuesday better.Travel, details, reports, communications draw your focusThursday-Saturday, not importantly. This week is thelast of 30 that brought a powerful financial, life-change,research, intimate, mysterious trend. Now doubts ariseabout what you did, committed to: be calm, good luckwill “rescue” you!
Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead accentromance, creativity, charming kids, speculation, sports,pleasure and beauty – you’re on a winning streak!But retreat Sunday/Monday: rest, contemplate, tidyup neglected places and friendships. Your energy andcharisma surge upward Tuesday/Wednesday – chaseany goal you want, including romance! For sevenmonths you’ve faced impatient opposition from others(or heightened but fractious attraction). This “angry”trend dissolves next week. In June/July, you’ll beexploring or talking about secrets, intimacies, largesums of money. Co-workers remain affectionate.
Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Minor wishes come trueSunday/Monday.Juneaccentsyourdomestic scene,realestate, security, food, diet, mother nature, gardening,nurturing, infants and toddlers. You’ve experienced astreak of freedom or of expanded, hopeful vision thisyear – now, in June, you need to decide who and whatto stick with, and who/what is stale, restricting you.Twothings happen in the coming weekend (June 5/6): threemonths of good money and sensual luck begin; and twomonths of heightened relationship intensity commence.Money and love could mingle.You will be very attracted,or angry. Friday gives clues.

a future in finance over the sport.“I don’t regret retiring at that time, but
I missed it terribly for the first while. ButI hardly ever came to a game,” Weaversaid.
That all changed when he wasapproached to fill the shoes of a retiringMurray Lehman as president of the juniorlacrosse club.
“I guess, the truth of the matter is ittakes me back to when I played,” Weaversaid. “It’s like going back in time andwe’re helping those kids succeed.
“It’s not about me. It’s what we’ve doneas a group. That’s the rewarding part,
working with them all and getting to seemy old friends.”
This Tuesday, Weaver’s two daugh-ters and son will join him for the specialretirement of his jersey number at Queen’sPark.
His mother, who never really wantedhim to be involved in such a violent past-time, will also be at his side, just the wayWeaver would want it.
“I’ve done a lot of things in my life, butit’s been about the people around me,” hesaid.
On June 1, there will likely be a wholelot of people at Queen’s Park Arena to lendtheir support.
