Hopes to secure the fate of HumePark Elementary were crushedTuesday night, when the board ofeducation narrowly shot down amotion to put a moratorium on schoolclosures until the district builds threenew schools.

Union-endorsed trustees Lori Watt,Michael Ewen and James Janzen sup-ported the motion, but it was killedwhen Voice New Westminster trusteesCasey Cook, Lisa Graham and JimGoring, along with independent BrentAtkinson, voted against it.

“I think it’s based on a belief thatschools shouldn’t be closed,” Cooksaid about the motion put forwardby Watt. “We have to make decisionsbased on fact, not ideology.”

In March, the board opted to post-pone the Hume Park closure/con-solidation process until October. Thisis the second year in a row that theboard is considering closing the 62-student school and sending its stu-dents up the hill to Richard McBrideElementary, which is located one kilo-metre away.

The district can’t say it won’t closeschools, because it can’t predict whatwill happen in the period before theschools are built, Cook said.

“First of all, for that period of time,one has no idea as to what are goingto be the budget conditions, enrol-ment figures,” he said.

Cook’s other criticism of the motionwas that it gives the community thesense that it ties the hands of futureboards and provide a false sense ofsecurity for school communities.

“It’s a promise that creates animpression,” he said.

For Atkinson, the problem with the

One-man market: Peter Corbeil has run the Queen’s Park Meat Market for the past 12 years, and, after a tough last two years, busi-ness is starting to look up again. Corbeil said he’d put his meat up against any supermarket meat.

It’s a non-descript building on the cornerof Second Street and Fourth Avenue,and, from a distance, it looks like any

other home in the area. But look in thefront window, and you’ll find Peter Corbeiland the Queen’s Park Meat Market.

The business has been around since1915, and Corbeil is a relative rookie, hav-ing taken over from former owner EricDavies in December 1998.

In an era when small businesses arebeing swallowed up and put out of busi-

ness by big-box retailers, Corbeil has beenmaking a living selling beef, chicken andpork the old-fashioned way.

“You have to offer great service, and ourprices aren’t any higher than what you’dget at a supermarket,” said Corbeil. “That’sone of the stigmas, that I’m more expen-sive. In reality, all my prices are competi-tive.”

Corbeil tells the story of a customerwho bought a five-pound beef tenderloinfor $75 at a local supermarket. When hesaw Corbeil’s price of $20 per pound, hethought he had a great deal.

That is, until he talked to Corbeil.“I took a look at what he bought, and,

of the five pounds, two pounds of it wasn’tusable,” said Corbeil. “So he really onlygot three pounds of meat he could use. …I don’t sell the waste portions, so, in real-ity, if he came to me, he would have savedmoney.”

Corbeil doesn’t tell the story to brag,only to point out that the way grocers sellmeat is vastly different from how he sellsmeat.

As a trained butcher and meat cutter,Corbeil uses only Alberta carcass beef thathe hangs and ages personally.

Meanwhile, supermarkets order theirmeat in vacuum-packed bags that comeeither pre-cut or ready-to-cut at the store.

“If you cut meat from the carcass, youhave to know what you’re doing,” saidCorbeil. “If you put the saw in the wrongplace, you can lose your shirt on a side ofbeef.”

And contrary to what marketers havetold consumers, fresh red meat isn’t neces-sarily the best beef out there.

“I age my beef for 18 to 25 days,” saidCorbeil. “The longer you age beef, themore the fibres break down and the better

it will taste. … It’s super tender and that’s notwhat you’ll get at a supermarket.”

In fact, instead of worrying about losing hisbusiness to supermarkets, Corbeil tells his cus-tomers to try out the difference if they don’tbelieve his meat is best.

“I had a lady who needed a roast but it wasa Sunday, so I wasn’t open,” said Corbeil. “Shewent and got one at the supermarket, and shetold me afterwards that she won’t do that again.… I’ll put my meat up against anybody else’smeat.”

And as confident as Corbeil is about his meatquality, he doesn’t have to look back very far tosee when quality wasn’t enough.

“I was hit hard by the global economic melt-down,” he said. “I remember it was August(2008), and the end of summer is usually slow,but when it got to September and people stillweren’t buying, I started worrying.”

All through that winter, times were lean andCorbeil had to literally watch every cut of meat.

“It wasn’t easy,” he admitted. “People couldn’tafford what they were buying before and I wasn’tgoing to compromise my quality.”

Things started turning around slowly in 2009– Easter was when things started moving upward– and now, it’s back to pre-meltdown levels.

“When you go through that as asmall business owner, you rememberthe sleepless nights and you neverwant to go through it again,” he said.“You’re careful about everything.”

Corbeil’s customers appreciate hiswillingness to stick through the toughtimes.

“I’ve been coming here for 30 years,and Peter has done a wonderful jobtaking over from Eric,” said DebbieGettling, who was coming in for somesteaks and sausages for a family bar-becue. “I know when I come here, I’mgetting quality stuff and I’m support-ing a local business.”

Jordan Samek echoes those senti-ments.

“My family wants to support quality localbusinesses, and we want to know where our foodis coming from,” said the Moody Park-area resi-dent. “When we made it a goal to buy locally andsupport local merchants, we found places likePeter’s.”

Samek was in to buy a chicken, which heknows is non-medicated and locally sourced, andsome pork sausages for breakfast.

“Hands down, the best pork sausages I canfind,” he said. “They’re unbelievable.”

And the reason why those sausages are sogood is because Corbeil spends six hours to per-sonally make 58 pounds of sausage.

“I only use deboned chicken and turkey,” hesaid. “I start around 9 a.m. and try to be done by3 p.m.”

The 58 pounds produced in one day usuallylasts several days, but when it gets busy during

the Christmas season, Corbeil cranksout 70- to 80-pounds a day.

“It’s almost like I never stop mak-ing sausages,” he said.

As much as Corbeil loves his job,he fears for the future.

“I’ve got two kids, Patrick, who’s12 and Shannon, who’s 14, and ifthey came to me said they wanted totake over the business, I would say‘Don’t.’

“That’s the same reason why Iwon’t take on an apprentice. There’sno future unless you know exactlywhat you’re doing. It’s a hard busi-ness.”

That being said, Corbeil is prettyhappy with what he’s accomplished in 11-plusyears on the job.

“When I started, Eric told me I knew how tocut meat, but what I needed to work on was mycustomer skills,” said Corbeil. “I’d like to thinkI’ve learned something since. I had to talk to mycustomers and I had to be genuine. … My cus-tomers come through word-of-mouth so it’s goodto see people continuing to come and support mybusiness.”

Corbeil: ‘It’s a hard business’

“I know when Icome here, I’mgetting qualitystuff and I’msupporting alocal business.”

City woman charged with murder in death of motherA 58-year-old New Westminster woman

was arrested in Burnaby on May 7 in con-nection with the April 19 death of her 88-year-old adoptive mother.

Junette Page Jobin was arrested justbefore 9 a.m. on the single charge of first-

degree murder of Patricia Rose Pelletier.Pelletier, the widow of a Vancouver

police officer, Kenneth Pelletier, was founddead in her Vancouver home on East 51stAvenue where she lived alone. Worriedrelatives called 911 when they hadn’t heardfrom the woman for several days.

“At the outset of this investigation, itwas not readily apparent how [Pelletier]

died,” Vancouver police spokesman Const.Lindsey Houghton said in a news confer-ence. “Over the course of the past threeweeks, investigators have worked tire-lessly to fill in the gaps and answer theirmany questions.”

Houghton added that investigators hadto wait several days for an autopsy, thenmore time was required for other tests

while they worked at what was a troublingcase for detectives, given the relationshipbetween the suspect and victim.

A full homicide investigation team,with two detectives and support teamsthat at times included up to 24 officers,worked the case and reached the conclu-sion that Pelletier’s death was caused by

Imagine balancing a tray of food onyour lap, while trying to pay the cashier ina cafeteria or spending extra time gettingto work while you search for an accessibleentrance.

Those are just a couple examples ofthings people in wheelchairs do everyday, and on May 12, politicians in Ottawahad a chance to see what life was like in awheelchair.

Burnaby-New Westminster MP PeterJulian participated in the event to helphighlight disability issues.

“It was far more difficult than I expect-ed, and it opened my eyes that we reallyhave to make Canada more accessible,”he said.

Julian was joined by 25 other polit-icians, mostly MPs and some senators,

who were responding to a call from theCanadian Paraplegic Association to spendtheir work day in a wheelchair. The annualevent kicks off spinal cord injury aware-ness month in May.

The idea is participants go about theirnormal working day in a wheelchair. Theyare only allowed to leave their chairs whilein the House of Commons. There is onlyone wheelchair-accessible floor space inthe House of Commons chamber, andthat’s for Conservative MP Steven Fletcher,the only MP in a wheelchair.

Julian noticed several difficulties whilein the wheelchair. A two-minute bus ridebecame a 20-minute wait for the onlywheelchair-accessible bus. He had to goaround the back of the Parliament build-ings to get in since the front entrance is notaccessible. He also noted how little thingslike light switch positions and how to openand close blinds became an issue.

“It is essential that able-bodied per-sons experience some of the challengesCanadians with disabilities face and helpraise awareness of their needs and abil-ities,” Julian said.

Houghton added therewas no evidence of anyother crimes and there areno other suspects in the

murder.Though investigators

know what it is, Houghtonsaid they are declining todisclose the cause of deathand are releasing no furtherinformation about Pelletier,the relationship betweenher and her daughter orany other details that mightconstitute evidence.

He added that Pelletier’srelationship to theVancouver police added adimension to the emotional

involvement of officers.Pelletier ’s husband,

Kenneth, joined theVancouver police sometimearound 1947, accordingto Houghton, and servedwith the department forabout 25 years before hisdeath in 1972. Houghtonsaid Kenneth Pelletier wasstill on the force when hedied, but his death was notin the line of duty.

New Westminster MLA Dawn Black haswitnessed problems for people trying toaccess information at both the federal andprovincial levels and would like to seeimproved access for all.

Black, who previously served as thememberofParliamentforNewWestminster-Coquitlam, noted that a recentaudit gave British Columbia a fail-ing mark when it comes to accessto information.

“A D+, that is done by a nation-al news organization,” she said.“We do get people who come inhere (constituency office) and askfor help with FOI requests. It’ssomething we are familiar withand know how difficult it can be.”

The Canadian NewspaperAssociation recently released thefindings of its annual audit ofCanadians’ access to government-held information. British Columbia andOntario shared the lowest ranking.

Black said the B.C. Liberals pledged tohave the most open and accessible govern-ment in Canada, but that hasn’t happened.

“They have gone backwards and made itmore difficult,” she said.

The real irony, said Black, is the Liberalswere the single biggest seeker of Freedomof Information requests while they werein opposition in Victoria. She noted thatPremier Gordon Campbell once said thatwhen government does its business behindclosed doors, people will invariably believe

it has something to hide.Having served as the NDP’s defence

critic in Ottawa, Black has been closelywatching issues regarding access to infor-mation in the nation’s capital and hasn’tbeen impressed with what she’s seen.

“All democracies are built on the basisof openness and transparency,” saidJohn Hinds, the Canadian NewspaperAssociation’s president and CEO. “This

year’s audit shows us that thesystem in Canada continues to beunder strain, especially at the fed-eral level. The concept of freedomof information has been eroded.”

According to the association,nearly half of the 315 formalrequests to municipal, provincialand federal governments seek-ing records such as pandemic fluplans, trip expenses for senior offi-cials and public land transactionswere met with denials, fees andtime delays reaching as long ashalf a year. It noted that the federal

requests often failed to respond within thelegislated 30-day deadline and sometimesdemanded dramatic fees to release records.

“At the federal, what we’re seeing is(government) performances declining yearover year, not getting better,” said SuzanneLegault, interim federal information com-missioner.

Her recent report to Parliament warnedthat Canadians’ right of access is “at riskof being totally obliterated because delaysthreaten to render the entire access regimeirrelevant.”

It’s not surprising that the CanadianNewspaper Association’s annual auditof Canadians’ access to government-heldinformation found that B.C. is at the bot-tom of the list where transpar-ency is concerned. In fact, itgave the province a D+.

“All democracies are builton the basis of openness andtransparency,” John Hinds, the presidentand CEO of the association, said whenreleasing the results.

We couldn’t agree more.Of course, journalists have a vested

interest in wanting easy access to infor-mation. It’s what readers want and oftenneed, and what readers often do not havethe time or the knowledge to find.

But there is also a moreprofound principle involved.Information is key to makingdecisions. Whether you’re vot-ing or trying to find out if your

neighbourhood is safe, you need infor-mation to make a good choice.

To be sure, governments are gun-shyabout revealing information for fear ofendangering someone’s privacy rights.

But those concerns do not excuse thevacuum-sealed approach to releasinginformation. Moreover, even if you canfind the information, you still often haveto pay for its compilation – in amountsthat make it prohibitive to obtain. Thengovernment stalling tactics and appealsoften stretch the potential release ofinformation for months and months.

This past week, democracy was alsodealt another blow when the SupremeCourt of Canada decided, in an 8-1 split,not to back the National Post’s actions toprotect a confidential source. The deci-

sion does not mean that journalists willnot try to protect their sources, but itcertainly means that those who wouldtry will face less legal support – and thatwill send a chill through journalists andwhistleblowers. (For the editor’s view,go to Pat Tracy’s blog, From the editor’sdesk, at www.royalcityrecord.com.)

If the CNA thinks B.C. deserved a D+ ,we’d also like to add a D– to the SupremeCourt’s report card.

Both deserve a failing grade wheredemocracy and freedom of informationare concerned.

Taxes: The newblack for spring?Now that Canada is in the

fiscal red, taxes appearto be coming back into

fashion.A surprisingly broad swath of

Canadians – and not your usualsuspects – are musing aloudabout the need to raise taxes totackle the deficit and to pay forthe things we care most about,such as public health care.

Almost three out of fiveCanadian CEOs surveyed inMarch say higher taxes are need-ed to get the countryback into the fiscalblack.

Recently JohnManley, former Liberalfinance minister and now headof the Canadian Council of ChiefExecutives, said it’s time to raisethe GST. At the end of the recentLiberal party thinkfest, leaderMichael Ignatieff showed thatparty is finally coming to gripswith the reality of taxes. Hesaid Canada can’t afford to rushahead with any more corporatetax cuts.

For the first time in more than15 years, Canadians are begin-ning to rethink the tax cut agen-da that dwarfed all other publicpolicy discussions.

It’s more out of sober neces-sity than anything. Tax cuts costus more than we can afford.

The Organization forEconomic Co-operation andDevelopment (OECD) estimatesthat between 1995 and 2005 taxcuts reduced Canadian govern-ment revenue capacity by $50

billion per year.Since the Harper government

came to power in 2006, its super-charged tax cut agenda reducedfederal revenue by an additional$34 billion in 2009/10 alone– and that price tag keeps bal-looning. To put it into perspec-tive, the federal government’s2009/10 deficit is estimated at$53.8 billion. In its 2010 bud-get, the Harper governmentconfirmed yet another round ofcorporate tax cuts that will cost

the public treasury$20 billion over thenext five years. To payfor those tax cuts, theHarper government

is unleashing a round of publicservice cuts and holding back on$4.5 billion in aid to the poorestnations on earth.

Tax cuts are hamstringingour ability to pay for the thingsCanadians want and needwhile privileging those who arealready doing very well.

Our research shows thatover the past 15 years Canada’stax system – federal, provincial,territorial and municipal – hasundergone massive reconstruc-tive surgery.

Our tax system used to bemore progressive. The richest 10per cent – those best positionedto contribute to the well-beingand quality of Canadian life– used to pay progressively morein taxes than middle- and low-income taxpayers.

Not anymore. It has become

Driver vs. red tape: Round 1Dear Editor:

By the time you read this, I may have officiallyvanished from the society of Canadian motorists,wandering in a twilight land unrecognized byICBC’s world of bureaucracy.

It began with the misfortune of losing my driv-er’s licence.

No, I didn’t sell it to a budding terrorist or leaveit illicitly jammed in a doorlatch. Chances are itescaped when I pulled the Care Card or other vitaldocument from my wallet.

So I had to go to ICBC’s motor vehicle licenceand driver persecution centre in the bowels ofMetrotown in Burnaby.

Waiting in line for 40 minutes was almost toler-able, because it reminded me of the long-gone timesof similar lineups in Disneyland, although on thisoccasion I didn’t end up with the Pirates of the

Caribbean but the pirates of motor vehicle regula-tions.

When my turn finally came, I admitted my lossof licence to a Ms. C. and offered my passport asproof of identity. She asked for another document,and I gave her my Care Card.

To my chagrin, Ms. C. then informed me that Iwas in limbo because my passport and Care Cardincluded my full middle name, while my driverlicence computer file had only a middle initial. Thedocuments did not jibe!

warning me not to smile as she snappedthe shot. I assured her that I was well ableto keep my joy confined.

You see, I rate going to massive com-mercial hives like Metrotown right upthere with having teeth pulled. Throw ina visit to a government institution, and therating goes up to walking barefoot overbroken lightbulbs.

I pleaded that my passport had beenaccepted as proof of my existence at assort-ed international airports, from Vancouverto London, but Ms. C. was having noneof it.

She offered one break: When I returnedwith certificate as ordered, I would nothave to wait in line but could go directlyinto her presence (provided she was atwork at the time).

I called the ICBC information line andlearned that my passport really, reallyshould have been adequate for the ID job,but that is now of little use.

As a minion of the Crown, Ms. C. mustbe obeyed or I might face a third visit tothe magic castle of shopkeepers, burningyet more expensive gasoline.

And another nagging thought occurs: IfI couldn’t find my birth certificate, would Ibe officially banished to pedestrianism?

Living wage is neededDear Editor:

I am responding to a letter against thenew living wage bylaw (Living wage notsensible, Letters to the editor, The Record,May 5).

I am shocked that Mr. Evans is“appalled” by this motion.

Surely, he must be aware how expen-sive it is to live in the Lower Mainland?

Undoubtedly he is aware of the finan-cial pressures families are facing?

Report after report have bombardedus with how many of our fellow BritishColumbians live in poverty, not to mentionthe fact that many of these are children.

This is completely unacceptable.This motion made me proud to live in

New Westminster, a place that recognizesthe importance of being paid a fair wagefor work done.

Mr. Evans is correct that the minimumwage should be increased.

He said he is wary about doing it now,but I don’t understand how having peoplelive in poverty is a palatable option.

I am pleased our council saw a problemand took action to make New Westminstera livable community.

I hope that other communities andemployers will follow New Westminster’slead.

regressive at the top. Andshockingly, the richestone per cent of Canadiansnow pay less as a portionof their income than thepoorest 10 per cent.

The vast majority ofCanadians have been thenet losers.

Tax cuts have compro-mised Canadian publicservices: whittling awayour social safety net,diminishing the quality ofour public education andhealth-care systems anderoding our basic trans-portation and communica-tion infrastructure.

It’s time to bring fair-ness back into Canada’stax system. As conserva-tive historian MichaelBliss recently wrote:

“Inequality of com-pensation has soared inour time, as the rich havebecome much richer andmuch less taxed. Highertaxes on high incomeswould begin to narrow theimmense chasm that hasopened up between the

über-rich and the ordinaryNorth American.”

The first step is to makecorporate Canada part ofthe solution, instead ofbeing part of the problem.

It starts with revers-ing broad based cutsto Canada’s corporateincome tax system.

These cuts do nothingfor corporations whoseprofits have been oblit-erated by the economiccrisis.

They benefit profitablecompanies, notably banksand oil companies, whoare more likely to buildup cash balances, takeover other companies orbuy back their own sharesinstead of making real jobcreating investments.

The second step is tobring fairness back intoCanada’s personal incometax system, beginningwith a new higher tax ratefor those with incomesover $250,000 a year.

Reversing the HarperGST cuts is also important.

The additional $12 bil-

lion a year that our fed-eral coffers would gainfrom restoring the GSTto seven per cent (withan expanded tax credit toprotect low-income earn-ers) could build a nationalPharmaCare program anda home care program forour senior citizens.

It could fund a nationalchild-care program forthe next generation ofyoung Canadians. It couldplant the seeds for a greeneconomy.

They say timing iseverything.

Any move to increasetaxes will need to bephased in once Canada’sfragile economic recov-ery takes firmer root. Butthat Canadians are finallystarting to have an adultconversation about taxa-tion – instead of only see-ing red – is a healthy sign.

It bodes well forCanada’s future.

Bruce Campbell isexecutive director of theCanadian Centre for PolicyAlternatives.

The New Westminster school districtrecently hired a new director of facilitiesand operations.

Doug Templeton took over the position,which had been filled by district man-agement since former operations directorLarry Bryce retired more than a year ago.Templeton had worked as a director ofoperations in the Chilliwack school dis-trict.

“Doug came up through the Chilliwackmaintenance department, taking onincreasing roles of leadership and respon-sibility,” says a New Westminster schooldistrict press release. “Recently, he hasworked on a variety of capital projects inthe province. Doug impressed the commit-tee with his vision and leadership.”

Since the school district cut back oncustodial hours in this year, to deal witha budget shortfall, parents at two schools– Herbert Spencer and F.W. Howay – havecome forward with complaints about thecleanliness of their schools.

Responding to a letter from parentsat Herbert Spencer, which stated that theschool’s principal sometimes had to cleanup washrooms, board of education chairJames Janzen said the district is perform-ing a system-wide review of overall main-tenance in the district.

Templeton will be performing thatreview, Janzen said.

The district’s maintenance departmentdid not return Record calls for comment.

motion is that the newschools won’t be built forat least four years.

“I’m not prepared to tiethe board to a motion to notdo anything for four years– that doesn’t make senseto me,” Atkinson said.

Ewen supported Watt’smotion, which isn’t sur-prising given that he wasone of the trustees to vote

against a staff recommen-dation to close Hume ParkElementary in the springof 2009.

The school was beingconsidered for closure thatyear to help slice $3.1 mil-lion from the school dis-trict’s 2009/10 preliminarybudget.

“I think it’s based ona belief that schoolsshouldn’t be closed,” Ewen

said about his support forthe moratorium on schoolclosures.

As for the argument thatit will affect future boards,he said any decision theboard makes would impactfuture boards.

He called it a “spe-cious argument” and said,“Everything that we do istying the hands of futureboards.”

A longtime school trustee wants theNew Westminster school district to pay the$10,000 it costs every year to buy materialsfor the Montessori program.

Trustee Michael Ewen made the motionthat the district immediately take over thecosts, but the board narrowly voted to tablehis motion until a staff report canprovide more information on theimpact of the decision. TrusteesBrent Atkinson, Casey Cook, LisaGraham and Jim Goring votedfor a staff report, while trusteesJames Janzen and Lori Watt sup-ported Ewen’s motion.

“I thought it was kind of amus-ing,” Ewen said about the requestfor more information. “I don’tknow what other informationthey want.”

Ewen said he provided infor-mation on the two areas of con-cern: what it would cost – $10,000, andwhat area would this come out – the sup-plies budget.

“Quite frankly, I’m not sure that it’slegal what we are doing,” he said. “Thelaw says we can’t charge parents for a pro-gram leading to graduation.”

Currently, the New WestminsterMontessori Society fundraises for the pop-ular program-of-choice, which is offeredat Lord Tweedsmuir and Richard McBrideElementary schools. The program has beenin the district for about 10 years and wasstarted by parents who formed a soci-ety to oversee the costs of the program.Montessori uses special materials to helpstudents learn.

Cook told The Record that he didn’t haveenough information to vote on Ewen’s

motion.“To be frank, if a recommendation like

that is embedded in a report and givesall the budgeting, the benefits and thedrawbacks, then I will consider somethingnear that,” he said. “If the issue has merit,then why didn’t it come up during budgetdeliberations?

“It was a motion that came out of theblue sky. It had never been discussed,”Cook added.

The board recently voted to move theMontessori program from Tweedsmuir toConnaught Heights Elementary. The WestEnd Montessori parents were concerned

that the move would affect enrol-ment and fundraising.

Petrina Bosiak, a director withthe Montessori Society, says sheviews Ewen’s motion as a conso-lation prize.

“They knew we were extreme-ly upset about the move, andthis is a way to appease us,” shesaid.

But Bosiak said the offer “wor-ries” her.

“How will it affect our charitystatus?” she wondered.

Also, she was concernedabout whether the district would still buythe high-quality materials that the societypays for. A Montessori classroom costsbetween $15,000 and $20,000 a year toopen, and the society aims to raise $15,000a year, she said.

“They are lacking funds all over theplace,” Bosiak said. “I don’t understandhow they can come up with helping usout.”

The Coquitlam school district has hada Montessori program for more than 25years. Assistant superintendent JuliePearce said her district also has a societythat looks after fundraising.

“The Montessori equipment is definite-ly provided to us, and we have a wonder-ful partnership through the fundraisingpractices of the society,” she said.

The new crop of representatives on the district parentadvisory council includes some of the most vocal critics ofthe school district over the last year.

At its meeting Thursday night, the district-wide par-ent group elected former vice-chair Paul Johansen to takeover as chair from Margot Barton. MaryAnn Mortensen,who was the parent council’s secretary, is now vice-chair.District parent council representative Andrea Walton isthe treasurer, and Wendy Harris is secretary.

“We want to improve communication. It’s been a long-standing issue in the district,” said Johansen, whose chil-dren go to F.W. Howay Elementary.

One of the parent council’s goals is to build a websiteand have a link on the school district’s website, Johansensaid. The district parent council also wants to “developbetter relations and mend some fences,” he said.

Over the last year, the district council has called forthe Ministry of Education to appoint a special advisor tooversee the school district, has held a public rally to pro-test delays on the high school construction project and hasurged British Columbia’s auditor general to look into thedistrict’s financial affairs. (The auditor general compliedand is now reviewing the books.)

The district parent advisory council has representativesfrom every school in the district. The executive is electedto look after the district parent council’s operations.

Aphotography exhibition byColin MacArthur is thelatest in the Arts Council of

New Westminster’s ongoing seriesof exhibits. MacArthur’s Facets ofEve exhibition is underway at thegallery until May 29.

“My camera is my sketch book,my computer and my printerare my paint box and my easel,”MacArthur says in informationprovided on the arts council’swebsite. “My aim as an artist is notto show you what I see, but ratherto show you how I feel about whatI see. I endeavour to capture thepersonality and femininity of mysubjects and to leave on paper amoment in time that will transcendus both.”

The gallery is at CentennialLodge, Queen’s Park, and it’s open1 to 5 p.m. daily except Mondays(when it’s closed). Call 604-525-3244 for information or [email protected].

Fran Mackenzie can’t help but smile asshe scans the contented crowd dining atWednesday’s community lunch at QueensAvenue United Church.

In 1995, Fran and Malcolm Mackenziestarted the community lunch at the NewWestminster church. On Wednesday, shedropped by as the program celebrated its15th anniversary.

“I feel just terrific. I think it’s amaz-ing. It’s something that was very desper-ately needed so I knew it would carry on,”said Mackenzie, who has lived in NewWestminster all her life. “There were somany hungry people in New Westminster.I remember them saying, we have to dosomething because there are so many peo-ple suffering.”

A group of six people got together toplan the community lunch program.

“It was simple – soup and sandwichesat first,” Mackenzie recalled. “One of thecongregation donated a huge freezer – veryold. It didn’t last very long, but it was won-derful.”

Catherine Fleming, who’s coordinatedthe program for the past decade, estimatesthat the lunch program has probably fedmore than 90,000 people through the years.

“That’s a lot of meals,” she said. “We aredoing God’s work.”

Winifred Franklin has been volunteeringwith the program since its inception.

“It went over very well. We started outwith soup and sandwiches,” she said. “Thenumbers kept on growing. We got moreadventurous until we were serving a moresubstantive lunch.”

Nowadays, a typical lunch includes cas-serole, plenty of vegetables, coleslaw andbeverages. Cookies and other treats that aredonated are sometimes served.

“It’s just great. I do appreciate the workof the volunteers. I am no longer ableto work in the kitchen. Our volunteersare elderly. They are very, very devoted,”Franklin said. “It is a need we think we canand should fill.”

While she’s no longer able to shop forthe program, Franklin still schedules thevolunteers needed to put on the weeklylunch.

“We have a Tuesday crew who come inand cook. The Wednesday crew comes in

and serves,” she said. “That’s why we docasseroles – we can put them in the oven.There are occasions where we serve soup,sandwiches and salad.”

The folks who attend the communitylunch at Queens Avenue United Church aregrateful, no matter what’s being served.

“It’s great. Without this lunch everyWednesday, I would have a tougher time. Ilook forward to this,” said Paul Thompson,who has attended various community mealprograms. “This is classified as one of thegood lunches.”

In addition to a home-cooked meal,Thompson said the volunteers demonstrate

a lot of “love and tenderness” to thepeople coming for lunch.

“Without it, we would be hun-gry for the day. One-half of thesepeople are here all the time,” saidPat Murray, another regular attendee.“It’s excellent. They do a very goodjob. They never let us volunteer toclean up, they do it all themselves.”

The church served a record 280meals for its anniversary lunch.Numbers vary from week to week,month to month.

“It depends on the time of themonth. I average 500 in a month,”Fleming said. “Welfare day, I mightget 60; a week earlier I might have200.”

The Fiji Canada Association pre-

pared Wednesday’s anniversaryluncheon. While the church volun-teers do all the shopping, cookingand serving of the weekly lunches, acouple times a year the Fiji CanadaAssociation provides and cooks themeal for special occasions.

A number of people who havebeen involved with the program sinceits inception continue to volunteer atcommunity lunch, even though someare now in their 80s. Fleming said theprogram feeds a variety of people,including seniors and street people.People from all cultures, faiths andages attend the weekly lunch.

These days, Fleming said the pro-gram is seeing more “newly needy”people, who have had to make choic-es on where to spend their money

as a result of government cutbacksin various areas. As an example, shesaid someone might be cutting backon food purchases in order to buyglaucoma medication that’s no longercovered.

“They can’t afford everything,” shenoted. “This is a community lunch.We welcome everyone. We are veryinclusive.”

More than 6,000 people attend thelunch program each year.

“The numbers have gone up overthe years,” Fleming said. “There are alot of folks finding themselves in newneedful situations.”

Royal City residents are invited toshow their community spirit and creativi-ty in this year’s Best Decorated Chair con-test at the Hyack International Parade.

The annual parade takes place on

Saturday, May 23. People wanting to par-ticipate in the contest can decorate theirchair and set it up on Sixth Street betweenThird Avenue and St. George Street.

Terri Rodger, a past president of theHyack Festival Association, has attendedparades around the Pacific Northwestwith the Hyack Festival Association.

“As a parade participant, one thingthat is great is having lots of spectators,three or four or five people deep,” shesaid.

“When you are in the States, theAmericans along the parade route are fiveto 10 people deep for the whole paraderoute. They are so warm and welcoming,‘Welcome Canada,’ ‘Thanks for comingCanada.’”

Rodger, who is The Record’s displayadvertising supervisor, noticed one partic-ular stretch along the Hyack InternationalParade route that didn’t have a lot ofspectators.

“We are trying to build up that area,”

she said. “We thought, what better waythan through a contest.”

The contest, sponsored by The Record,is now in its second year.

“It can be a chair, it can be a couch,”Rodger said. “Remember, whatever youbring you have to take home.”

Prizes for this year’s contest include a$250 gift certificate to Royal City Centreand a $100 gift certificate to La Rustica.

“Hopefully each year it is going to getbigger and better,” Rodger said.

◗ IN THE GAMEJr. ’Bellies beat up on Saints ◗P20Scholar athlete signs letter of intent ◗P20

Hyacks settle for second seedingThe Burnaby Central Wildcats

made no mistake showing whowas the No. 1 team in the schooldistrict.

Central showed its speed andexecution early, finishing off twoset pieces in the opening minutesof play before downing the NewWestminster Hyacks 5-0 in theBurWest AAA high school girls’soccer final at Burnaby Lake-WestTuesday.

Alisha Penev put the Wildcatsahead in the first minute of play,heading in a Tessa Barbour cornerthat resulted from the openingkickoff.

Minutes later, Penev had asecond opportunity off a similarBarbour corner but headed thatone just wide of the near post.

“The last two games we playedagainst (New Westminster) werepretty good, but we weren’texpecting to come out and scorelike we did, but we’re not com-plaining,” said Penev, who willplay at the University of B.C. nextseason.

Central defeated the Hyacks2-0 late in the regular season, afterplaying to a 1-1 draw in their firstmeeting.

Penev, who scored three goalsin the match, including a pair ofsecond-half counters, said the dif-ference was the play of Barbourand Kim Van Duynhoven in themidfield.

“When we have a full turnout,it’s good,” she said, adding thebench has been a little stretched attimes earlier in the year.

Van Duynhoven headed in asecond Barbour corner at the 15-minute mark to give Central acomfortable 2-0 half-time lead.

Van Duynhoven made it 3-0midway through the second half,ripping a first-time volley from 30metres that one-hopped past theHyack keeper to the far post.

Minutes later, Penev got hersecond, neatly flicking a clever

ball over the New Westminsterkeeper from in close.

Penev’s final goal came on along kick to goal that just snuck inunder the crossbar.

Central will likely take onprovincially top-ranked Argylein the zone championship matchMonday, May 17 at Burnaby LakeSports Complex-West. Game time

is scheduled for 3 p.m.But with a full lineup and all

pistons firing, Penev likes theteam’s chances.

“(Barbour) kicks in great cor-ners and gets great shots, and wehave some players who can real-ly attack in the air, so hopefullythat’s where we can really make adifference,” Penev added.

New Westminster will facethe North Shore runner-up at thesame time and venue Monday.

Also being played on Monday,the St. Thomas More Knightswill face Alpha Secondary in theBurnaby/New Westminster dis-trict AA high school girls’ soc-cer final at Burnaby North Turf.Game time is 3:30 p.m.

Middieleads teamto NCAAfield laxtourney

New Westminster ’sKevin Crowley led StonyBrook University to its firstAmerica East conferencevarsity field lacrosse title ineight years last Saturday.

Thefirst rounddraftpickof the Western LacrosseAssociation BurnabyLakers scored three goalsto give the eighth-seededSeawolves an 11-7 victoryover University at Albanyin the championship con-ference title game on May8.

The win gives StonyBrook an automatic berthinto the NCAA DivisionI championships, whichbegins Saturday.

Junior teammate JordanMcBride added a pair ofmarkers for Stony Brook,breaking Kevin Pall’scareer school record of 133tallies with his conference-leading 48th goal of thecampaign.

Crowley was named tothe all-championship teamfollowing the tournament.He led the America Eastwith 71 points, including46 goals

Earlier, Stony Brook gotthe first of two hat tricksfrom Crowley in a 10-6win over Vermont in theAmerica East semifinal onMay 4.

Stony Brook takes onthe University of Denver inthe first round of the Div. 1national championships.

A win would likely putthe Seawolves in line fora second-round matchupagainst No. 1 Virginia.

The opening ceremonies for theCanadian national netball cham-pionships at Burnaby MountainSecondary School next weekendwill tell a lot about what the sportis all about.

Children of ex-national teamplayers will walk in hand-in-hand with the captains of eachprovincial open, u-23 and u-18team to symbolize the spirit ofnetball being passed from gen-eration to generation.

In B.C., that spirit lives on withthe athletes, who were taught bytheir teachers now playing side-by-side as teammates.

There are also three pairs of

netball-playing sisters on B.C.teams taking part in this year’snetball national championships.

Four of them are from Burnaby,Damara and Danette Mui, andAshley and Olivia Joe.

Damara and Ashley playon B.C.’s under-23 team, whileyounger sisters Danette andOlivia will be making theirnational debut with the u-18 pro-vincial team.

Both Danette and Olivia wereturned on to the sport by theirolder sisters. But that is where thesimilarity ends.

Olivia, a Grade 11 student atAlpha Secondary, is an offensiveplayer, while Ashley, who is inher third year at Douglas College,prefers a more defensive role.

The same is also true of theMui sisters. Damara, who coach-es netball at Mountain, plays inthe front court while Danette ismore a back-court player.

But it is the togetherness of thesport that keeps them all close.

They all understand the sport,a mix of basketball without thedribbling and three-point shoot-ing and European handball, assomething different, more funand equally rewarding as otherteam sports.

“In other sports, you have amore dominant person, but inthis sport everyone has to worktogether, and if you don’t, you’redead,” said Danette.

The fact that few people evenknow what netball is all about is

a double-edge sword.“That’s the downside,” said

Olivia. “No one’s really seen it.But when they do, they think it’spretty cool.”

Netball B.C. president AnnWillcocks would be pleased tohear that.

It’s part of what B.C.’s Ms.Netball calls the association’s“core values.”

“It’s difficult, Willcock saidabout selling the game. “Youhave to work as a team in thissport. … Players have to firstunderstand that working togeth-er means needing each other.”

In netball, there are no singlerushes up the court, no hail-Marypasses, just an intricate series ofshort passes on a string that even-

tually lead to an uncontested shotat goal if done properly.

“I think that is what is thebeauty of the game,” Willcocksadded. “You have to work withthe other players and, therefore,have to be more considerate ofeach other.”

It’s perhaps not surprising thatthe association believes stronglythat open players should mentorthe younger u-23s, who in turnare expected to help bring alongthe u-18 players.

It is as much to ensure thelongevity of the sport in the prov-ince as it is to instill in others theimportance of needing each otherto succeed.

Netball nationals spans the generationsBY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS [email protected]

Splish, splash: New Westminster Hyack Gabby Napoleone got an unexpected soak-ing in the water jump during the girls’ steeplechase at the Burnaby/New Westmin-ster track and field meet at Swangard Stadium on Wednesday.

“We really do try to liveup to our core values. Ifyou’re in trouble, you can’tdo it on your own,” saidWillcocks.

Damara and Ashleyunderstand that principle.

Playing a game of pass-and-run is the perfect com-bination of skills for the

two older sisters.“I don’t need to worry

about messing up my drib-bling or missing a layup.It’s just perfect for me,”Ashley said.

But being part of thebuilding process to keepthe sport alive is perhapsthe most rewarding part ofthe game.

“We live in differentareas, we go to differentschools, but when we stepon the court, we’re a fam-ily,” said Damara.

The nationals will takeplace at Burnaby Mountain,beginning Saturday, May22 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.Games continue Sundayfrom 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Juniors unbeaten in threeIt was the Mydske night

at the Queen’s Park ArenaTuesday.

The two lacrosse-play-ing brothers accountedfor nearly half of the NewWestminster Salmonbellies’goal production followinga 15-4 trouncing of the PortCoquitlam Saints.

Older brother LeifMydske counted a season-high five goals to pace thejunior A Salmonbellies,while Reid Mydskeaccounted for his first twotallies of the year, includinga shorthanded goal withjust two minutes left on theclock.

Mark Negrin, who had

16 goals in 18 games lastseason, opened the scoringin the first two minutes ofplay with his first of threeon the night.

Negrin already has ateam-high 11 markers inhis first three games of theyear and is scoring at asizzling league-best 55-percent shot average.

Leif Mydske andNegrin both finished thegame with six-point nights.Tyler Digby and T.J. Cowxchipped in with five pointsapiece.

Brandon Mulligan back-stopped the win, allowingjust two goals in 55 min-utes before giving up a pair

of late counters to the lowlySaints.

The win moved theSalmonbellies to 3-0 in theB.C. junior A league, tyingthem with last year’s cham-pion, Coquitlam Adanacs,for second place.

The Burnaby Lakers cur-rently lead the league witha 4-1 record.

New Westminster takeson the Victoria Shamrocksthis Sunday at Queen’sPark Arena. Game time is5 p.m.

The junior ‘Bellies areback to their regular homedate on Tuesday to host theDelta Islanders at Queen’sPark. Faceoff is 8 p.m.


Scholar/athlete signs intent letterMatt MacGrotty signed a letter of intent

to attend and play field lacrosse for BryantUniversity in Rhode Island.

The 6-4 MacGrotty graduated with hon-ours from New Westminster SecondarySchool in 2008 and more recently complet-ed a post-grad year with honours at TheTaft School in Connecticut last year.

MacGrotty was the Hyack footballteam’s scholar athlete in 2005 and 2006,and the high school’s male athlete of theyear from 2005 to 07. He turned down

acceptance letters from seven other institu-tions, including McGill and Simon Fraseruniversities.

He was offered both an academic andathletic scholarship from Bryant.

“Bryant has everything I was lookingfor,” said MacGrotty in a submitted pressrelease. Bryant head coach Mike Presslerwas recently named head coach for TeamU.S.A. for the upcoming world fieldlacrosse championships in Manchester,England in July.

What's wrong with me?What’s wrong with me? That’s the question I get askedwhen I meet people who are having difficulty finding ajob after months of searching. With all the news aboutthe economic recovery, they wonder why, in their ownjob search, they’re not meeting with success. If youcurrently find yourself in this situation, there is nothing“wrong with you” at all. This situation can arise from a

number of different factors including the following:1) There are few jobs available in your specific career or industry niche. An

increasing number of jobs may be available, but that doesn’t mean thatjobs are available in your sector.

2) Job and role requirements in a sector can shift over time, meaning thatalthough you may have qualified for and performed the job just fine inthe past employers are looking for a slightly different mix of skills now.

3) Your time in your current career field is stale dated. Although you arediligently looking for work, somewhere inside you’ve realized that you’vehad enough of that kind of work. You may be doing all the ‘right’ things,but without the same enthusiasm required to make the necessarycontacts or impress employers. (Your ambivalence may be showing.)

The answer to this is to review your career direction and focus and adaptnew strategies that will increase your chances of success. Possiblestrategies could include:• Broaden your geographic search• Broaden the range of industries that you approach. Are there other

industries that could use some or all of your skills in a different typeof job?

• Have you thought about a career change? Perhaps this is the opportunityto assess your options and take steps towards making the change.

• What about retraining, skills upgrading or school? You will gainmomentum knowing that you are renewing your credentials and learningnew skills.These are just a few career strategies to use in tough times. If you needsupport and help in assessing your options, assistance is available. Call604-681-2774 for information.

Career Confusion?

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections May 16 - 22★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Settle into a few daysof rest Sunday to noon Tuesday. Soon, you’re goingto be very busy. Woo no one Sunday/Monday – loveaffairs started then would be short and disappointing,or long and disappointing. Romance is the main themeTuesday eve to Thursday – and it’s complex! Illusionruns everywhere, almost like an elf; but clear, sobersight alternates. Stick with the latter. The same appliesto creative and speculative ventures. Thursday nightbegins four weeks of travel, paperwork, details, calls,casual contacts and siblings. It starts with a majordecision about work, duties.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Travel, paperwork, detailsand casual communications are slated Sunday toTuesday. Speak carefully – beware of promisingsomething that you have doubts about. Your moneyinterests meet two barriers: one relates to romance,kids, home and family; the other to outside interests,friends, social factors. As the week ages, you mightdiscern that the real problem is not money, but homeversus the outside world, kids versus friends, romanceversus flirtations, career. Success is yours if youcombine them. Rest mid-week. Romance, pleasurebless you Friday/Saturday. A money phase begins!

Gemini May 21-June 20: Through Thursday, youremain sequestered, tired, contemplative, quiet.But a month of such is ending. Thursday eve intothe weekend you can courageously end a situation,relationship or task/burden. This will be followed by atrue surge of energy, optimism and effectiveness. Thisupsurge might not arrive until May 23, because youstruggle all this week, right into Saturday night, with atug-o-war between home-domestic-property-security-kid-related urges and demands, and those calling youaway from home, to career, prestige and ambitionprojects. Maybe this relates to ending something!

Cancer June 21-July 22: This is a week of choices,of opposite extremes, and an attempt to reconcile orbring together competing people or ideas. The “poles”involve communications, relationships, ethics, ideasand philosophical (or religious) convictions, law,education or travel. E.g., do you travel to the next town,or to Africa? Attend college or night school? Remain“just friends” or get married? Both choices are valid.But: don’t fall in love before Tuesday dawn, and don’tfall for sexual illusion mid-week. The “casual” breedspartnership; the long, elevated, legal, internationalpoint to work luck.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Keep working hard throughThursday –you could take one last big step in ambitiousregions Tuesday to Thursday. (Before Tuesday, workquietly, with naps.) You’ve been somewhat suspiciousof others, particularly of potential (or actual) partnersfor over a decade.This trend will fade away after 2011,but for now – this week – be neither suspicious norgullible, especially Wednesday. All week, financialdecisions and choices face you. Choose a long-termoutlook, investing, net worth, over “quick money” ormere spending. A month of flirtations, popularity andfun begins Friday!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Mellow times draw toa close. Still, you’ll like this week. Sunday to noonTuesday brings popularity, entertainment, flirtations,optimism about your future (and it’s justified!). Retreat,rest, contemplate and plan mid-week. Scan thehorizon to study barriers and how to overcome them.Your energy and charisma rise Thursday night, just as amonth of career, ambition, prestige relations and statussituations enters. (VIPs favour you to Wednesday.)This week holds both opportunities and challenges inrelationships, negotiations and dealings with strangers.You meet someone cheerful.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Mysteries & dark attractionsgiveway to understanding and the light of loveThursdaynight onward. Don’t chase love Sunday to Wednesday:a long-term disappointment lurks. If you break upWednesday, consider yourself lucky. Despite these direwords, mid-week finds you actually happy, flirtatious,optimistic and social! (Just forget infatuation.) Sinkinto rest, solitude and contemplation Thursday nightto Saturday: a month of mental expansion, travel, newlove and intellectual joy is just beginning. You attractattention, glances Saturday night. But hesitate aboutlove, two more days.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21:What had been opportunityturns, late week, into a month of commitment. You’lleither grab an opportunity in a way that binds you, orwalk away to seek change. Either works, so follow yourinstincts. This entire week (and May 23) is filled withchoices between competing roads, people, forces. UntilWednesday eve, much of this involves sex, finances,health or commitment. Thursday onward, the choicesare “lighter” – friends or a lover, a present indulgenceor plan for the future? A casual relationship or aprofound one? Lover, indulgence, profundity are lucky– to a degree.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: At last, a month of hardwork, boredom and health concerns ends (well, byThursday night) – the fresh breeze of opportunity enters!Expect relationship excitement, new vistas & people,contracts & agreements, the possibility of relocation.But this week confronts you with a series of seriouschoices. Though others have treated you affectionatelyfor the last few weeks, now you have to choose(Sunday/Monday) between affection (relationshipsgenerally) and ambition. Then, Tuesday/Wednesday,between affection and security or family. Then, lateweek, between ambition and home. Ah, well.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: A romantic, creative,pleasurable, sports-filled or beauty-oriented phaseyields to a month of hard work and health concernsby Thursday night. But a streak of those good thingswill last into mid-June. (Best if romance, as the planetcausing it is Venus.) Relationships, opportunities andfresh vistas confront you Sunday to Tuesday, but resultsare mixed. Romance with someone you met (or meet)in a group can succeed, so do casual Starbucks-type friendships and intellectual or legal affairs. Butforget co-worker romance, and money’s deceptive.Mysteries mid-week. Gentle love late week!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: You’re still “confined” tohome, domestic and security concerns until Thursdaynight. Then a month of pleasure, romance, creativityand “winning” arrives! But somehow it comes aboutthrough a deep change you make, or it accompaniesthis change. The smaller the change, perhaps theless of a bang this lucky month ahead will make. (Icould be wrong.) The whole week presents a seriesof challenges or choices. Romance won’t partner withsex, creativity won’t co-operate with money, Sunday toWednesday. DO NOT begin a love these few days. Lateweek, money choices. But happiness looms!

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Though the weeksahead bring a slow-down, that’s actually good news,because it ends a rather wasteful spinning of yourwheels. A travel, paperwork and errand-filled trendends Thursday night, and a quiet, deep, meaningfulfew weeks begin. This week presents many choices.You might face the prospect of ending or deepening arelationship early week: the outcomes are, oddly, sosimilar that I have no advice except this: don’t starta new love (or any) relationship before Thursday. Thisnight to Saturday brings relationship excitement, newhorizons: quiet, sober, secure ones. Hmmm.

Celebrating a centuryof service is this lovelyPresbyterian Churchin New Westminster’sWest End. Although theoriginally wood-clad St.Aidan’s is now stuccoed(similar to many olderchurches in the city thatwanted to reduce exteriormaintenance costs), it stillboasts a fine selection ofwell-preserved originalstained glass windowsthat highlight some ofthe church’s benefactorsover the years, includingW.J. Malcom, one of thechurch’s first elders who

was instrumental in having the church built on this site.

St Aidan’s was the home of a drama group of the Young People’sSociety known as the Unity Club,which developed into the presentday Vagabond Players who are now based at the Bernie LeggeTheatre in Queen’s Park.

In 2000, St. Aidan’s won the “Institutional Award” for the bestlighting display as part of the city’s Millennium year celebrations.

The congregation plans a variety of displays and interactive eventsso please drop by to wish them a happy birthday.

This charming cottage in the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood ishidden behind a row of mature shrubbery and may be overlookedon first glance. However, its place in local history cannot beignored.It has connections to the Mercer family who travelled fromNewfoundland to settle in the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood atthe turn of the century.The main Mercer family home is located at227 Ninth Street which has been on tour several times. It was builtin 1927 by B.C. Electric motorman Martin Godfrey O’Malley for hisbride Fannie Gertrude Mercer.The two wed in 1929 and called thiscottage home for almost two decades. Martin died in 1948 andFannie in 1987. Fannie’s sister Clara Mercer lived with her widowedsister for several years before Fannie passed away and Clara herselfwent into care. The current owners took on a massive projectof cleaning, restoring and mechanically updating the “Mercer

House (1927) (The Mercer Cottage)

Cottage” as the local residents came to call the house.

The kitchen needed immediate attention and the ownershave created a modern kitchen that respects the past withnew wood cabinetry that in large part mirrors the originallayout of the room. A built-in seating area was removed longago.The original pass-through from the kitchen to the diningroom has been retained as a glass curio cabinet. Behind thekitchen is a sun porch/laundry area that was added in 1942.This porch overlooks the backyard that has been designed toaccommodate the canine residents of the home. The owners,however, have also created a private oasis for the rest of thefamily with a side deck off the kitchen perfect for summerentertaining.

In 1890, Georgina Charlotte andWilliam H. Falding were the firstowners of this lovely QueenAnne-style cottage in what wasthen a mainly rural Queen’s Parkneighbourhood. In 1929, GeorgeGray—a steamroller driver for thecity—and his wife Olga boughtthe property. It remained in theirfamily until 1982, when the HeritagePreservation Society purchased it.Bythis time the home had fallen intoserious disrepair. The society’s initial

plan was to restore the home to its 1890 appearance, sell it and use the proceeds topurchase and rehabilitate another heritage home. But a downturn in the real estatemarket changed these plans.The society finally finished restoring the home in 1985and sold it to the current owners.

Despite the cottage’s diminutive appearance, inside the ceiling height is a stately 11feet in the hallway, living room, dining room and front den. The floors in the livingand dining rooms are unusually narrow planks, 2 ¼” fir. The living room features asalvaged fireplace. The frosted white and pink light fixtures are the only originalones in the house. In the dining room,the owners installed a stunning Venetian glasschandler. The wainscoting is panelled cedar. The den’s fir woodwork and flooringwas restored.

C. 431 Fourth StreetGeorgina and William Spalding House (1890)

This distinctive housewas built in 1939 formaster mariner JohnColbourne and hiswife Emily.Colbournewas a pilot for theNew WestminsterDistrict PilotageAuthority. (As a piloton a tugboat hewould have beenresponsible for

steering ships into and out of the Fraser River.) The Colbournes called Fourth Streethome for almost 20 years.

This house exhibits many of the quintessential elements of a home of this era.The cross-hall plan, the inlaid hardwood floors, the curved doorways, the tiledfireplace and the glass doors are all examples of popular features of this time. Theprestigious architectural firm of McCarter and Nairne, well-known for such projectsas Vancouver’s Art Deco beauty, the Marine Building, had a division that specializedin residential construction, and so it is no surprise that this home was “cuttingedge” for its time. This was an ultra modern custom-built home designed for theColbournes.

The current owners of the Colbourne House are in transition.They are saying good-bye to this home as they embark on the rather daunting but exhilarating restorationof the H.T. Kirk House (aka the Canadian Dance Academy) located at the corner ofThird Street and Third Avenue.

D. 233 Fourth StreetJohn & Emily Colbourne House (1939)

Heritage HomeTours 20102010

In 1910, this Arts and Crafts home was built for Herbert R. Davidson, manager of the Bankof Commerce. Since the home was last on the tour in 1999, the owners researched thearchitectural firm credited with designing the home, F. G. Gardiner and A. L. Mercer. Now,they believe the home was designed by predecessors Frank George Gardiner and WilliamFrederick Gardiner.

When the owners purchased the home in 1979,they confronted shag carpet,white woodwork,acoustic ceiling tiles, virtually no original lighting, and many original windows gone.

The exterior is shingle-sided with two front cross-gables with Tudor board trim.The exteriorpaint scheme of brown with cream trim and dark green sash is period appropriate.

Typical of Arts and Crafts interiors, the living hall is dominated by dark-stained woodwork: seven-foot high wainscoting; chamfered posts;staircase incised with a spade-headed arrow motif. It`s illuminated by a large,first floor window and a band of same-sized“clerestory”windows.The only original light fixtures are on either side of the fireplace.

E. 218 Queen’s Avenue The Herbert R. Davidson house (1910)This handsome early Craftsman-style home with its corner location in the centre of theQueen’s Park neighbourhood was built in 1910 for the Levy family. Captain Austin S. Levy,who at one time captained the S.S. Helen Scanlon which ferried passengers to and fromLadner and Delta, lived here for approximately 10 years before it was sold to the Bracherfamily. William and Ruth lived here with their family. One of their three daughters, Dorothy, along-time nurse at Royal Columbian Hospital, lived in the Levy house until the mid-1990s.

This lovely home is celebrating its 100th birthday.

Over the past year the new owners have begun restoring the home’s exterior by removing thelarge, striated wood shakes to reveal the original combination of shingles and channel siding.They have repainted the home in hues of yellow and brown similar to the original colours.

The lovely wood accents that adorn the upstairs balcony off the master bedroom are being replaced with intricate detailed piecesthat match as much as possible with the original look.

H. 416 Second Street The Captain Austin S. Levy house (1910)

Irving House is still the oldest intacthouse in the Lower Mainland. It isstill on its original site and whenCaptain William Irving had it builtin 1865, it was the fanciest housein the city. It is owned by the City ofNew Westminster and is operatedby the New Westminster Museumand Archives (NWMA).

William Irving was born in Scotland in 1816, went to sea and eventually becamea captain with his own ship. After coming to the West Coast during the CaliforniaGold Rush in 1849, he met his wife-to-be Elizabeth Jane Dixon in Portland, Oregonin 1851. They were married that same year and later had five children. In 1859, thefamily moved to Victoria during the Fraser River gold rush and Captain Irving beganoperating sternwheelers on the Fraser. Captain Irving had this house designedand built by T.W. Graham. Contrary to the legends, it was neither built by the RoyalEngineers, nor was it built in 1862 to 1864.

The family moved into the house on August 5, 1865. Sadly, Captain Irving diedsuddenly seven years later in 1872. In 1884, the widowed Elizabeth Irving sold thehouse to her eldest daughter, Mary, who had married Thomas Lasher Briggs in 1874.The Briggs family renovated the house in 1887 and the original gold wallpaperthey uninstalled then is still in place in two front rooms. They called the house“Hollymount” and raised nine children here.

F. 302 Royal AvenueCaptain William Irving House (1865)


Thislovelyhome,makingits first appearance onthe homes tour,was builtin 1927 for Reginald andKathleen Ashworth. Mr.Ashworth was a well-known teacher andprincipal in the localschool district.

The Ashworth house is afine example of a 1920shome that incorporateselements of a CapeCod-dormered cottage

and the Dutch Colonial style. It is one of the few such homes in the city. One ofthe most striking features is simply the light. The sunlight streams through themany windows on all sides of this home. Its corner location and an abundance ofwindows help the home avoid being overshadowed by the large trees across thestreet in Queen’s Park.

The present owners have done a wonderful job of blending the old and new inthis delightful home.The age-old question—how to balance the needs of a familyhome while still maintaining its heritage features? It’s a challenge but the key is tomake it your own oasis and the homeowners have done that.

This distinct Georgian Revivalhome was designed by architectsE. Evans and Son, whose firmalso designed Massey Theatre,the Loyal Protestant Home ForOrphaned Children (now theRoyal City Christian Centre),part of the Royal ColumbianHospital and many other publicbuildings and residences in theVancouver area. The house wasbuilt in 1929 for John Cameron,New Westminster’s Chief ofPolice in the 1920s and early ‘30s.

Rumours about corruption and rum-running at New West’s docks during Prohibition hinted at howa policeman could have afforded a house like this. Chief Cameron went on to head the Vancouverpolice force before being appointed to the Provincial Police in 1938 where he served in Zeballos andNorth Vancouver.

From 1937 to 1957 this was the home of Rick and Jerry Foote, a musically talented couple fromOntario. The family had interests in the paper mill that subsequently became Scott Paper. It waspurchased by the Sinclair family in 1957. Dr. Sinclair, a New West physician, died at a young age in1963 and Mrs. Sinclair raised four children in the house, remaining until 2000.

The home’s new owners are undertaking a massive restoration. It is on tour for the first time.

This Arts and Crafts-style homewas built in 1913 for dentistEmery Jones and his wife Jessie.The architect hired was London-born E.J. Boughen, who practisedin New Westminster in the early1900s, designing a range ofbuildings from simple cottagesto large homes and commercialbuildings. He had designed hisown home, “E-Dee-Nie,” at 315Fourth Avenue in a very similarstyle two years earlier. Thepresent owners took possessionin the summer of 2006. Averseto the rigorous chore of paint

stripping, they were relieved to find that much of the home’s beautiful woodwork had been leftuntouched.

Today, the pink stucco is gone and much of the original horizontal siding has been restored (somehad to be replaced.) The window headers are restored originals; missing casings were replaced withcopies. An antique mailbox and new Arts and Crafts address plate frame the original front door andhardware. The owners hired a Vancouver heritage specialist to research the original exterior paintcolours (the house had been brown) and chose similar hues to repaint it. This wonderful facelift hasrestored the home’s classic character, and it can welcome its next centenary with pride.

J. 239 Sixth AvenueThe Emery and Jessie Jones House (1913)

The history of this house is a mysteryand we’re hoping that tourgoers canhelp us out with information about thisarea of the city from 1891 to the 1920s.When last on tour in 1998, discoveringthe first owner’s name proved difficult.The Dennsion brothers—Thomas andJames—were decided upon but itturns out they lived at what is now 307Princess Street.

The addresses and lot configurationsof the 300-block Princess Street havechanged many times over the years.Property assessment rolls in the NewWestminster Museum and Archives

show that in 1891, Elizabeth Thornton owned the lot that’s now 315 Princess; the lot directly behindher at 314 Seventh Avenue was owned by Thomas Thornton. Possibly Thomas Thornton moved hishouse from Seventh Avenue to Princess Street.

By the time the current owners purchased the home in 1992, all original woodwork and lightfixtures were removed and a variety of aluminum-framed windows installed during 1960s and 70srenovations.

The owners embarked on a major renovation to put back what might have been and increase squarefootage. The new side addition increased the square footage without sacrificing the home’s period look.

K. 315 Princess StreetThe Thomas Thornton House (1891)

The“Screen House” was conceived bythe owners and their architect as afresh interpretation of Massey Heights’post war and modernist houses. Thewishlist for the renovation of the‘50s bungalow included creating aseparate space for the parents (thereare three sons at home,) bringing inmore light, neatly blending elementsof the original house with the newaddition.Its most striking feature is the45-foot by 10-foot fir and aluminum

screen which appears to float above the main level of the house, blurring the second-story additionand emphasizing the horizontal lines of the ground floor. The concrete garden planter/plinth andaddress wall also add to this effect. Cedar siding and exposed beams and rafters pay homage to thearea’s architecture but in a 21st century manner.

Built in 1954 by Gordon and Wilena Morgan, the house was one of the first built on York Street andin the new Massey Heights neighbourhood. Mr. Morgan was a manager with the Department ofFisheries and Oceans and his home would have offered all the mod cons we expect of new homestoday.

The house and its contractor won a SAM award in 2009 from the Canadian Home Builder’s Associationfor Whole House Renovation, were finalists for the 2009 Georgie Awards, and have been nominatedfor a Royal City Builders’ Award. Bravo!
