Roy Henderson has been missing for 10 years, and for 10 years Tanya Meadus has been anxiously waiting to hear what happened to her beloved younger step- brother. “It’s crazy. You just think and hope that he’s going to call,” Meadus said, her voice cracking. “It’s just so strange, I just can’t even … I mean it’s still so hard even after this long.” Meadus met Henderson when she was 12 years old, when their parents began dating. Henderson’s mother had died a couple of years earlier, and shortly after, his dad met Meadus’ mother and the two were eventually married. The two fami- lies then became one, and Meadus and her mother moved to Port Coquitlam to live with Henderson and his father. “In school he was an honour roll student with straight As. He played soc- cer. He wasn’t very popular but … we were just kids. Back then (school) wasn’t so much about what it is nowadays. … Growing up, we were very close. We went to the same high school. We were two years apart. He had lots of friends. “We did everything together.We would build forts together, we would go hunting in the bush together,” she said. Henderson attended Kilmer Elementary, Mary Hill Junior High School, and Terry Fox Secondary School. The two siblings were close and spent a lot of time together as children and teen- agers. After graduation, Meadus said her brother had a couple of jobs, mostly nota- bly as a cook at the Cat and Fiddle Pub and Earls, both in Port Coquitlam. As her brother got older, Meadus noticed some changes in his behaviour. She believes he may have become schizo- phrenic but doesn’t believe Henderson’s doctor ever diagnosed him or prescribed any medication. “I saw the signs and everything of it and after an altercation that happened at home, he went to go live with his grand- father in New Westminster. “He got into some drugs and stuff like that. Nothing crazy, like with gangs or anything,” Meadus said. “He was just a good guy. He wouldn’t hurt anybody.” Meadus told The Record that her son, who was about nine years old when his uncle went missing, still asks about Henderson, and like her, he is left won- dering what happened to his uncle. “Regardless of what he was into, he’s still my brother and it’s just hard because … after all this time you still hope,” she said. While Meadus still holds out some hope her brother will return one day, after this much time she believes it’s unlikely, but she still wants closure. She has spent the last 10 years searching for her brother, putting up flyers, participating in search- es in the Downtown Eastside, even post- ing to Facebook, looking for any clue into her brother’s disappearance.

Royal City residents will beable to warm their heads and feetto help those who are at risk ofbeing left out in the cold.

A contingent of local residentswill hit the streets on Feb. 4, insupport of Toque Tuesday. Theannual event raises funds andawareness about homelessness.

“We have got a venue set up atthe library and Douglas College,”said Dave Brown, who coordi-nates the local campaign. “We aregoing to have folks at all the differ-ent SkyTrain stations during high-volume times.”

Funds raised locally will be splitbetween the Lookout EmergencyAid Society and the BroadwayYouth Resource Centre, organi-zations that help those who arehomeless or at risk of homeless-ness.

“The issue around homeless-ness is not going away. It is stillthere,” said Brown, managerof Lookout’s programs in NewWestminster. “Housing is huge.”

In addition to selling toques andsocks, volunteers hope that ToqueTuesday will also raise awarenessabout homelessness.

“It’s getting the word out andsaying to people, this can happento anyone,” Brown said. “I seepeople in our shelters, the work-ing poor.”

Brown said people’s responseto homelessness is often “why notjust get a job” – not realizing manypeople who are at risk of home-

lessness are working poor whobarely make enough to survivebecause of the high cost of living.

“We need a national hous-ing strategy,” Brown added. “Wedon’t have one. We haven’t hadone since the 90s. We are longoverdue.”

Raising the Roof launchedToque Tuesday 17 years ago toraise funds to help address long-

term solutions for homelessness.Eighty per cent of funds raised goto local agencies in communitiesand 20 per cent of net proceeds gotoward Raising the Roof’s nationalhomeless initiatives.

According to Raising the Roof,it’s estimated that 200,000 indi-viduals, youth and families expe-rience homelessness each year inCanada, with 30,000 Canadians

experiencing homelessness on anygiven night and up to 50,000 “hid-den” homeless couch-surfing orstaying with friends, family orother people because they have noplace to go.

Royal City residents can be onthe lookout for volunteers sellingred, black and grey toques, as wellas socks, on Tuesday, Feb. 4 atlocations around the city.

“Not that he was downtown, but just notknowing, with his mental health or the drugsthat he started getting into, whether it wouldbring him down there,” she said, her voicedpained with exasperation.

Even after 10 years, the police aren’tany closer to finding out what happened toHenderson. The 29-year-old (now 39) hadbeen living in New Westminster for less thantwo years before he vanished, and even then,police can’t pinpoint exactly where he was liv-ing when he was reported missing.

“The details are very hazy and very grey asto where he was actually living,” Sgt. DianaMcDaniel of the New Westminster police told

The Record.Ten years later, the investigation is now in

the hands of the department’s major crimesunit.

“They take over some long-term miss-ing persons investigations, but there isn’t atremendous amount of leads or anything tofollow really, so this is sort of an effort to getit out there again just in case there’s a chance.There really isn’t anything that’s happened inthe investigation, it’s just a matter of puttingit out there again with the hopes of somebodyidentifying him,” McDaniel added.

Police have very few clues into whatHenderson was up to at the time of his disap-pearance. There were some reports he might

have been in the United States shortly beforehe vanished, but nothing was confirmed.Police are also unsure whether he remainedin the Lower Mainland or left the area, butone thing is for certain, police aren’t giving uphope he’ll turn up one day.

“We’re looking for a person, and we’re hop-ing to find him well and alive,” McDaniel said.

As for Meadus, she just wants to find outwhat happened to her younger brother.

“I don’t think he’s here anymore, like hon-estly he always kept in touch with me no mat-ter what and it’s just so strange, it’s like he dis-appeared. I don’t know, I don’t understand,”Meadus said. “...There’s absolutely no trace,it’s like everything just stopped.”

New Westminster is aiming for a taxincrease of two per cent or less.

Staff returned to council chamberMonday for the second part of their pre-sentation on the 2014 to 2018 financialplan, which includes this year’s budget.Last week, staff presented council with abase budget that proposed a 1.28 per centincrease to this year’s property taxes, aswell as some additional priority items thatwould bring it to 2.59 per cent.

In the past week, staff reworked someof the numbers in the budget and incor-porated a $150,000 contribution to thecity’s affordable housing fund that hadbeen inadvertently omitted and spot-ted by Coun. Jonathan Cote. Once the

adjustments were made, the proposed taxincrease for 2014 was 2.12 per cent.

Cote told staff Monday that he thinksthe city is “almost there” but would liketo see the increase held to two per cent orlower.

Mayor Wayne Wright suggested thatrevenue from digital signage may beone place to look for funds that wouldallow the increase to be further reduced.Gary Holowatiuk, the city’s director offinance and information technology, saidthe “additional bonus payment” associ-ated with digital signage may provide anopportunity to reduce the budget.

“The lower we can get, the better,” saidCoun. Betty McIntosh.

Staff will report back to council onadditional changes made to this year’sproposed budget.

Premier Christy Clark says she’s opento reconsidering the fall date for a refer-endum on TransLink. No wonder. Mostof the mayors in the region are steadfastagainst holding the referendum. And,even if the mayors softenedtheir stance, the main obstacleremains: How do you have ayes or no referendum questionthat forces taxpayers to agree toa tax hike? Because, let’s face it, any ref-erendum is going to include some way oftrying to get more money out of the tax-payers to fund the infrastructure.

Now, if the referendum containedquestions like: Would you be willingto have your taxes raised slightly ifTransLink did an across the board 20per cent pay/bonus reduction to all staff

first? or, Are you in favour ofdismantling TransLink andstarting from scratch? – thenyou might have slightly betterodds of getting a majority yes

vote.The unfortunate reality is that taxpay-

ers rarely vote yes for spending more oftheir hard-earned money on government

projects. Even if they do depend on thoseprojects to get from Point A to Point B.

Transportation Minister Todd Stonewas reported as saying, “The mayorshave not come together to unite on acommon vision for transit and transpor-tation priorities, yet it’s their responsibil-ity to do so.” Apparently he wasn’t jok-ing when he said this.

Mayors are elected to promote andprotect their own turf. Or at least that’swhat the taxpayers say they want them todo. Common visions that include othermunicipalities are seldom on their “vote-

for-me” brochures.One only has to look at the Pattullo

Bridge situation to see the clash of terri-tories. New Westminster is trying to stopthe flood of traffic evading the new PortMann Bridge tolls. The city isn’t receiv-ing a whole lot of sympathy or supportfrom the league of Lower Mainland may-ors. In fact the city is appealing to Clarkfor action. Meanwhile TransLink is stilltrying to come up with updated trafficstats on the bridge.

Sigh … it’s a little like being trappedin a roundabout for eternity.

Uptown plan raisestoo many questionsIt is with disappointment

to read the news of BartSlotman, vice-president

of the Uptown PropertyGroup, forming an UptownNew Westminster BusinessImprovement Area (UNWBIA)with the support of mayor andcouncil. (Re: Uptown eyes a newfuture, The Record, Jan.24.)

As a business owneron Sixth Street thatmay likely be subjectto this additional tax/levy fromthe property owner, I have heardnothing other than what is inthe paper. I reviewed the onlineapplication published in thecity council pages. With respectto the individuals at the heartof this organization, this is notwithout some glaring challenges.

Who and what is theUNWBIA? Where have themeetings been held? When wasthe steering committee formed?What are the bylaws of theorganization? Who are the mem-bers? When did the executivedirectors get elected and whenwas the AGM? Who registeredthis as a non-profit society andwhy? Why have we not beennotified of the details for form-ing a UNWBIA other than in thepaper?

We already pay a separatebusiness licence and propertytax in our rent. Our taxes alreadypay for street maintenance, beau-tification and various other itemsthey propose to do with this newlevy/tax. Who set the levy (taxa-tion) rate of $386/20 ft. and whatis it based on? Will the Royal

City Centre and WestminsterCentre pay $386/20 ft for all oftheir storefront?

Will non-profits have to paythis new levy/tax? I am amazedthat the city is pushing thisthrough in less than four monthsto take effect on July 1. Manybusinesses budget for a year

at a time and maynot have taken a taxincrease into consider-ation this year.

What is furtherworrisome is this so called“funding mechanism,” noadministration (yet their ownbudget calls for $14,800 inadministration costs – 12 percent of the budget), no office andno accountability for $171,600?

So who writes the cheques,receives the tax money anddecides where it should bespent? I note that they are pro-posing to be an outreach organi-zation, but I can tell you plentyof us already do that within thecity. In a much more positiveway than has been done by thelikes of Mr. Slotman, Royal CityCentre and this group.

With the city scrutinizingthe Hyack Festival Association,is this a good time to entertaina mandate by a self-appointedgroup of people?

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

TransLink staffers show heartDear Editor:

It is often said that a large city can be a cold andunfeeling place.

Well, not New Westminster!Last Saturday evening I was disembarking one

of the New West shuttles when a rather importantpackage containing my prescription fell from mypocket without my notice.

Losing my prescription is not a disaster – it canbe replaced – but I was quite concerned because ifthat medication fell into the hands of children oryouth, someone might have been harmed.

I called what seemed to me to be the most obvi-ous agency – TransLink.

The operator was immediately helpful. To make arather long story short, the operator I talked to spentmore than 15 minutes tracking down an after-hours

contact for the company who runs the shuttles, whoin turn contacted the bus driver, who found mypackage. I was advised that I could meet the bus ata specific time and location to reclaim my drugs.

Problem solved, right? Well, not quite. You see, Iam arthritic, and I was simply not able to make it tothe location in the time allowed. Once I explainedthat to the TransLink operator, she arranged to havethe package picked up by her Staff Sergeant, a Mr.McGregor, and brought back to their office whereI could pick it up on Monday. That I could man-age, and I thanked her and planned to take the busover to the TransLink office on East Columbia onMonday morning. All good! The TransLink operatorhad gone way out of her way to help me and I wasvery grateful.

About 15 minutes later I received another callfrom TransLink security informing me that if I

IN MY OPINIONJAMES CROSTY

could go to the front door of my building,my medicine would be delivered to me! Iwas astonished (and delighted)!

Sure enough, a couple of minutes latera TransLink car pulled up in front of myapartment building and Mr. McGregor,after ensuring that I was the legitimateowner of the prescription, handed it tome with a big smile and a quiet “no prob-lem”.

I want to thank Mr. McGregor and theunknown TransLink operator who wentso far beyond their duty to help someonewho, to say the least, appreciates it sin-cerely. The city of New Westminster cannever be called cold or unfeeling if thereare people here who are willing to providethat level of service to the residents.

Jess Gordon, New Westminster.

Developers get sweet dealDear Editor:

Re: Behind closed doors?, The Record,Jan. 10. After reading this article, it wasconfirmed to me that favours are done

for developers in this municipality. If citycouncil and the mayor approved theseeyesore towers for Larco, why doesn’tLarco pay for this pedestrian overpass?

Why did the city give the small parkat Elliot and Columbia to the develop-ers of this site? That park, by the way,was actually paid for by TransLink whenthey decided to close off Elliot to trafficon Columbia when the tunnel was beingbuilt. I know because I live at the 200 blockof Carnarvon Street and went to the meet-ings when they were closing the street off.

Now we on Carnarvon are waiting forall the cars that will now be on our streetsfrom all these highrises. Not only that, butwe have had all our streets ripped up tomake upgrades to the infrastructure toaccommodate these new highrises.

Why don’t the developers pay to haveour streets paved after they have been dugup for their development?

I bet us taxpayers pay for that. With allthe money the developers make from thiscity, they could have paid for that ridicu-lous civic centre.

Mr. Wright needs to be told to retire. Weare tired of his behind-closed-door deals!

D. Perry, New Westminster

Thanks for the kindness◗ continued from page 6

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Uptown Live, how-ever Uptown BusinessAssociation (who is theUBA? Is it part of theUNWBIA?) is asking thecity for $28,000 cash and$20,000 in-kind for thesame event, a total of$59,000.

With the mountingpressure of increases inwater, sewer, garbage dis-posal, hydro, communica-tions and a potential 2.5per cent rise in propertytaxes, just how will thisaffect our businesses? Addthat onto the increasingcosts of doing businessand well, I wonder willthis push small indepen-dent businesses out of themarket? This is clearly anissue of taxation withoutrepresentation.

“No taxation withoutrepresentation” was aslogan in the 1750s andone of the major causes ofthe American Revolution.Seriously, is this how farback we have gone? Whyhas the city evoked, fromthe community charter,Division 5, Section 213,

the negative response,rather than Section 212, thepositive response, for theapproval process? It’s simi-lar to the negative optionfor the $59 million bor-rowing bill, last summer.Shouldn’t this group haveto prove businesses want aBIA rather than subjectingbusinesses that don’t wantit to pressure from propo-nents that do?

For a mayor and coun-cil that purports to be sopositive, why the negativeoption?

This process requiresthat 50 per cent will haveto register as against tooppose the bylaw. Willthe UNWBIA and the cityinform offshore propertyowners in less than 30days when all they haveto do is put a notice in thepaper?

Who will help the mer-chants that oppose thisto defray the cost of time,printing and business toget the facts out? Further,how many property own-ers care about an addi-tional tax when all theyhave to do is pass it along

to retailers locked into along-term lease? Section212 would have placed theproponents of a UNWBIAto provide 50 per cent sup-port in order to approvethis additional tax!

It’s my belief theUNWBIA and/orthe Uptown BusinessAssociation of NewWestminster (unsure ofwhich one or perhapsboth) need to exist for ayear.

Is this not the city’sown policy on fundingnew organizations?

Let them prove theycan properly communicatewith businesses, open upthese meetings and dem-onstrate the benefits offurther taxation on compa-nies still struggling to stayopen.

If this is approved whileso many questions exist,one can only hope thedamage it may cause canbe reversed in time witha new mayor and councilcome November.

THE RECORD STORY: “Province steers clear of parents vs. boardfight” - Jan. 21Facebook I Katrina Hilliard: As an alumni to New Westminster Secondary School,all I can say is I am happy to be out of that mess. I grew up in New Westminsterand spent my childhood going from Richard McBride, to Glenbrook Middle School,to graduating from New Westminster Secondary. Now a third year student at UVicand constantly doing programs at high schools around the district, I am even moreaware of how bad I had it in high school. I am glad I don’t have to deal with it any-more.

out of that meeting will bereleased to the public at oneof the budget consultationmeetings,” Mortensen said.

While she was dis-appointed her motionwas “watered down,”Mortensen was pleasedthat the board was able tocollaborate.

“It was the board work-ing together in a way thateverybody could comeonboard – to me it’s a half-full glass, not a half-emptyglass, and that’s how I wantto look at it,” she said. “Weare all in agreement that weneed to see this informa-tion.”

The district held a bud-get consultation meetinglast year on its hefty sur-prise deficit, which manyattendees left complainingthat the process was futileand uninformative.

This time, Mortensensaid, “info must be pro-vided before.”

The district is dealingwith a hefty shortfall – $5million that must be paidback to the Ministry ofEducation – and has hadto make a series of sweep-ing cuts.

Parents, particularlythose at New WestminsterSecondary School, are con-cerned about how the bud-get will impact education

programs next year.The school’s parent

advisory council recentlysent a letter to the districtdemanding it provide adetailed account by Feb. 14of which programs will becut.

Trustee JamesJanzen didn’t sup-port providing allof the suggestedcuts to the public,preferring a “moreorganic process”where the publiccould weigh in.

Trustee DavidPhelan agreed,saying, “The con-sultation processis designed to getpublic feedback.”

But trustee Casey Cookcountered.

“We have gone throughtwo processes, (and) peo-ple have commented after.Basically, the commentswere, ‘Where’s the beef?

Where’s the info?’” Cooksaid.

“I think we need to findout what the communityvalues. Our stakeholdersare very aware that we havemajor decisions ahead of

us. … I think weneed to be verycandid in terms ofwhere we are.”

Mortensen’smotion wentthrough a seriesof amendmentsuntil trusteesfound consensus.

“I went to aboard meetingtonight, and aworkshop brokeout. I think it’s

great,” Cook said, sum-ming up the meeting.

One man is in custody following anincident that began on a TransLink busSunday morning.

New Westminster police responded tothe 2100 block of Seventh Avenue around11:20 a.m. on Jan. 26.

According to a media release from thepolice department, earlier that morning,paramedics and firefighters were calledout after receiving reports that an unre-sponsive man was on the bus.

When the first responders arrived, theyattempted to wake the man but he becameviolent and had to be restrained, whichparamedics and firefighters managed to

do, the release added.When officers arrived on scene, they

handcuffed the man and, following asearch, found a loaded .40-calibre hand-gun in his jacket, according to the release.

“This is another reminder that thereis no such thing as a routine call for firstresponders,” said Staff Sgt. Paul Hyland.“We are very fortunate that this male wasunable to access the firearm due to thequick reactions of the first responders onscene, who were there simply to providemedical attention.”

Twenty-three-year-old DavidGeoghegan from Surrey has been chargedwith one count of possession of a firearmand one count of possession of a firearmwhile prohibited.

Because of the four bandmembers’ other performingand business commitments,Revolver now focuses onspecial events.

Harra is a big and beau\fuldiva who couldn�t cope withthe shelter environment so shequit ea\ng and nearly died. Ina foster home she was coaxedback to health but she has

retained her diva personality and nicky ea\nghabits. She is friendly when she feels like it, butdon�t bother trying to make a lap cat out of thisone! She�d prefer to be a one and only cat, and nodogs or children need apply!

Laina* came to RCHS as a threeyear-old � pregnant, homelessand very fearful. She has hada quiet loving foster homewhere she was allowed to bethe gentle introvert that she is.

She enjoys being with other cats and and spending\me outdoors during the day provided the catdooris near. She needs a quiet home with adults � nochildren or dogs for this sensi\ve, shy felineprincess.

Francine* is very sweet, \midcat. She was rescued from anindustrial yard and has madegreat progress overcomingsome of her fears since shecame to us. Francine has been

at the shelter a long \me and may take quite awhile to adjust to a new home. But with enoughlove and pa\ence, she may be able to adjust. Bestfor a quiet home.

Tia* came to us in October 2006along with her son, Li_le Beau.They were adopted togetherfrom Petcetera but it turns outit wasn�t a good home for Tiabecause she seems to have

been very stressed there. Tia needs a peacefulhome with adults or older kids and no dogs.

Pippin (le<) was found with Piper. She is quiet, soulful and likes tosit and observe. Loves messages and being brushed! Very playfuland more outgoing with a cat companion. Her favourite pas\me iswatching the birds. Blue-eyed beauty, Piper (right), at six monthsold, was living outside with Pippin. He will be \mid at rst but veryaffec\onate when he discovers that he can trust you. Piper needs a

companion cat. He talks to his toys and carries them around in his mouth. He requires some canned food forthe water content to keep his �plumbing� system in good order. His favorite treat is unsalted popcorn. Thesetwo are inseparable and will only be adopted together. Indoor only home.

Felix has languished for nearlythree years in our shelter,wai\ng for that special human.This senior cat has so muchto offer the right person �he�s very condent socially

and loving once he gets to know you. All he asksfor is a peaceful indoor home. He�s learned totolerate the company of young cats, but he wouldbe �purrrfectly� content to be the centre of theuniverse for his human family.

Trixie (le<) is 1-1/2 years old and s\ll a puppy at heart! She needs anunderstanding home with love, exercise, and leadership. This supersmart dog should do well with someone who has experience with dogbehavior and posi\ve training methods. She is anxious about being le�home alone, so someone who either works from home or has a exibleschedule would be great. Prefer adult home with no cats.

Dawson (right) was brought to the shelter as a stray last September. He�s about 2 years old and is a bitunderweight so he need to gain a few pounds. Dawson has good manners with other small dogs, but doesn�tdo so well with larger dogs. For informa^on on both these dogs, contact the NewWestminster AnimalShelter: 604 519 2008.

FREE HOME EVALUATIONSFREE HOME EVALUATIONS

Cats, like humans, are creatures of habit.Once comfortable in their surroundings,they are unnerved by change. And tradinga familiar home for an unfamiliar one cancause fearfulness and stress, unless you,the conscien\ous cat guardian, plan aheadwith all the precision of a successful militarycampaign. Logically, then, moving from oneplace to another should consist of threestages: preparing for the move; moving dayitself; and se_ling into your new home.

PREPARING FOR THE MOVEPurchase a large, comfortable carrier andgive your cat sufficient \me to adjust tobeing in it. Leave it on the oor with thedoor open and some treats inside. Keepreplacing the treats a�er your cat hasretrieved them. Set out your cardboard,moving boxes a few days before so thatyour cat can get used to the sight and scentof them. Maintain your cat�s regular rou\nefor feeding, play and exercise, and qualitytogether \me. If your cat becomes anxiousas you start packing, place him/her in aquiet room with some toys and treats andkeep the door closed. But if your cat is anespecially nervous cat, boarding him/herin a professional kennel the day before anda�er the move may be the best solu\on.

Make certain that your cat�s iden\ca\ontags carry your new address and phonenumber. But the best precau\on is anupdated microchip implant.

MOVING DAY ITSELFEven before the movers arrive, tuck your catsafely away from the centre of the stormby closing him/her in a bathroom, togetherwith food, water, a bed and a li_er box.Put a sign on the door sta\ng that it mustremain shut. Your cat should always travelwith you, secure in the cat carrier, and notin the moving van.

SETTLING INTO YOUR NEW HOMEPut your cat in a room that will remainrela\vely quiet. Before opening the carrier,lay out your cat�s food and water dishes,

Begin gradually walking your cat throughthe rest of the place, constantly praisingand reassuring him/her as you make therounds. Over and over again. Restore yourcat�s former feeding, playing and exerciseschedule so that, hopefully, it will seem thatnothing much has changed.

Cats may be creatures of habit, but theyare also highly adaptable. And so, whetherfamiliar or unfamiliar, old or new, for them,there is s\ll no place like home!

MAKE MOVING EASIER FOR YOU AND YOUR CAT

FOSTERS NEEDED: Are you an experienced �catperson�, looking for a challenge? Several cats (thosemarked with * aaer their names) have been atthe shelter for a number of years. Either becausethey are very ^mid or have other issues, these catsare overlooked by poten^al adopters. If you feelyou are equipped to handle a �special needs� ki_y,we�d love to hear from you. They will require a lotof pa^ence, however, we are condent that withenough love even these li_le ones can becomefunc^oning and happy members of society.

li_er box and bed, and place some treatsaround the room. Keep your cat in thisone �safe� room for a few days, spending\me together, soothing and cuddling, andsharing some low-key ac\vi\es like reading,listening to music or watching TV. Cat-proofyour new home as soon as possible: tuckdrapery, blinds and electrical cords outof reach; plug up narrow spaces where acat might get stuck; ensure all windowsand screens are secure; instal child-prooflatches on your cabinets � par\cularlythose containing cleaning supplies; coverunused electrical outlets with special plas\ccaps, and keep all toilet seats down. Spritzvarious objects with a pheromone sprayor spread your cat�s own scent (gatheredfrom his/her face and neck) with a so�cloth along the walls, doors and furniture.

Cash* was trapped as an olderki_en and named a�er JohnnyCash for his sleek black hair,but public performances aren�tthis introvert�s forte. This shy-guy would be lost without the

company of at least one other cat but he�s not thesort who could adapt to a busy household or smallchildren. One on one, he can be very loving, so ifyou are a so� spoken, gentle person with a lot ofpa\ence, he might just be the perfect t.

It was spring of 1889,and the local commu-nity was excited about

a couple of large showsthat were coming to town.The one with the greatestpromotion was a circus, butnot just any circus, this wastwo together – “Farini’sGrand Australian andMcMahon’s Great World’sCircuses United.”

The promotion for thiswas wonderful, and theadvertisements give usan excellent idea of whatthe performance included.There were two shows of“one of the very best circusorganizations in the world,and the artists were … thecream of the equestrian,acrobatic and gymnas-tic stars of Europe andAmerica.”

The reports covering thiscircus troop were glowing.One ad was headed “TheIdeal Equestrie-OlympianAggregation of theUniverse, Just From Overthe Sea.”

Admission for this event

was 50 cents for adults, 25cents for children under 12years. One ticket got youinto both performances,and “for particulars seeilluminated posters, litho-graphs, programmes, andthe various advertisingmediums.” The mentionedposters and lithographsare just the types of thingsthat collectors today findso compelling to locate andacquire.

What was in the showthat caused members ofour local community toline up to see it? Well, thenewspaper promo had thefollowing long list, so let’sgo to the circus in NewWestminster in 1889. Therewill be “the entire forceand paraphernalia of thetwo greatest circuses of theperiod. … Fully 100 peer-less artistic meteors.”

“The laurel crownedmale and female cham-pions of two continentsin friendly rivalry at eachand every entertainment...over 500 famous first-timeforeign feats and featuresimpossible to duplicateand never seen with othershows … en great barebackriders … six Russian ath-letes.”

“Twelve marvellousdouble somersaulters …eight surprising aerialists… four celebrated eques-

trians … six phenomenalbounding jockeys … manywonderful gymnasts …eight amazing acrobats …six daring charioteers …wrestlers, tumblers, leapers,etc., etc.”

“Ten unique pantomim-ists … eight renownedvoltigours … ten funnyclowns...a series of thrillingacts and feats entirely newto American audiences.”

Some of the entertain-ments listed are easy tounderstand or at least tofigure out more or lesswhat would be happening.Others are not so easilydetermined. “Peerless artis-tic meteors” just means bigstars. “Charioteers” weredriving horse-drawn chari-ots, and two-wheeled carts.

The “bounding jock-eys” were performers whodid various stunts whilestanding on the back of amoving horse, while the“voltigour” also includedequestrian activities withperformers in bright mili-tary-type costume whoseact incorporated vaulting ofsome sort.

This would have beena great show with world-wide connections to see in1889. Where was it held inthe city? The ad doesn’t say,but it would almost cer-tainly been held in Queen’sPark.

drinkRosemary margaritas in the open-air bar while whale watching over the Sea of Cortez. It doesn’t getmuch better than that. But if you move on to dinner at Cocina Del Mar (try to get the lower tablescantilevered over the sea) you will see it can. The seafood tortilla soup, with little neck clams and whiteBaja prawns is outstanding. At Esparanza Resort, www.esperanzaresort.com

dineRight in the heart of downtown Cabo, the open-air, lantern-filled restaurant at the boutique Bahia Hotelgets so busy at dinner it overtakes the lobby. And there is good reason: the food, music and ambiance areall outstanding. Owned by a group of high-profile NewYork bankers, the hotel is undergoing a room-by-room renovation, but we kind of loved the charm of the original rooms with their kitchenettes and plasterscallop shell over the bed, all for under $150/night. www.bahiacabo.mx/en.htm

Americans might claim it as their bird, but the world’slargest population of bald eagles is in Brackendale, BCduring the winter.The best way to see these majestic birds is on the EagleViewing Boat Trip from Squamish-based Sunwolf. Youstart with coffee and pastries while they suit you up inthe necessary gear (hopefully the rain suit will only befor show, not out of necessity). Then you’ll float down theCheakumus and Squamish rivers and watch as bald eaglesfeast on the spawning salmon. End the trip with a steamingbowl of chili next to the fire at their lodge.There is also the option of renting one of the cabin (withvaulted ceilings and hardwood floors) for the night. Slipinto the hot tub, and the eagle has landed.$100 per person, $65 for children under 12. $285for the cabin rental (based on double occupancy).Book at www.sunwolf.net/eagle-tours

Even rail-thin supermodels can be dimple-prone— we’ve seenit with our own eyes!While there isn’t a magical cure for the bumps, the texturecan be improved with groundbreaking treatments like LPGEndermologie, or Lipomassage (sounds techy, but it’s reallya high-performance deep tissue massager). It was invented inFrance in order to boost collagen production and circulationin burn victims. Of course, the clever French turned it into abeauty gadget.Here’s how it works: You strip down, then slip on a full-bodystocking (yes, a little awkward!), and the technician massagesaway at your “problem” areas, whether it’s thighs, arms, orbelly. We visited Vancouver’s esteemed LPG specialist JoyStewart at the quaint Touch of Joy spa. With intense massagingaction over six sessions, the circulation was enhanced, lipolysisreactivated, and overall texture significantly smoother.C’est si bon!

Mitch McCauly, a 6-2,185-pound defensive/tran-sition player, followedfellow Maple Ridge team-mate Jesse Gillespie, whowas an earlier signing withthe Salmonbellie juniors, toNew Westminster.

The junior A BurnabyLakers began their longroad back to respectabilityafter last season’s 1-20-0season, picking up threeTeam B.C. players at themidget draft.

The Lakers, which lastmonth dealt their firstoverall pick to the DeltaIslanders in exchange forfour players, picked upan additional six playersin the second and thirdrounds of the midget roundheld in Port Coquitlam onSunday.

Driver fourth at Daytona 24Michael Valiante drove the

Spirit of Daytona No. 90 prototyeChevrolet to a fourth-place finishat the Rolex 24 in Daytona, Floridalast week.

The Spirit of Daytona team start-ed the 52nd annual 24-hour endur-ance race from the front row and ranwith the leaders the entire 695 laps,dipping below the top 10 just oncein the second hour of the event.

“Consistency was the key,” withValiante and co-drivers RichardWestbrook and Mike Rockenfellertaking shifts behind the wheel, whilerunning as high as third place after124 laps.

But after a promising week ofpractice, the car ultimately did nothave the speed to contend for thepodium, said Valiante.

“We had a really great car onFriday night practice, but for some

reason we lost the balance,” saidValiante in a team press release.“Still I think we’ve got reasonablepace where if we had been on thelead lap, we would have been ableto challenge for the podium. So,overall it’s been a trouble-free race,and the team’s done a great job. Buteveryone is raising the bar for thisrace now and you can’t really affordto make any mistakes. It’s great toget a top four, but you always wantto win.”

Action Express Racing’s No. 5 pro-totype Chevrolet won the event, tak-ing first place in the opening roundof the International MotorsportsAssociation Tudor United SportsCarChampionship.

Joao Barbosa steered the Actioncar to the checkered flag less thana second-and-a-half ahead of two-time Rolex 24 winner Wayne Taylor.

A late incident on the track set upa final sprint to the finish.

Barbosa got the jump on Max

Angelelli in the Taylor car on therestart and wasn’t to be caught inthe final four remaining laps.

“I tried everything to find agood balance, a good run. But Ididn’t have enough for (Barbosa). Ithought I had when I picked up thecar for the final two stints. But thefinal rush, unfortunately not,” saidAngelelli in an IMSA release.

The race saw 52 lead changes,with Action Racing in front 18 sepa-rate times for 313 laps on the 3.56-mile circuit, covering nearly 2,500miles.

There was also a ugly incident inthe early going that brought out thered flag.

Memo Gidley, driving the pole-winning No. 99 Corvette prototype,rear-ended the disabled No. 62Ferrari driven by Matteo Malucelli.Both drivers were taken to a nearbyhospital.
