Royal City Record January 4 2013

Mayor Wayne Wright is optimistic that2013 will be a banner year for the RoyalCity.

The City of New Westminster hasmany initiatives on the go in 2013 buttransportation planning, fine-tuning ofWestminster Pier Park and constructionof the Anvil Centre will be at the fore-front.

“The year of 2012 was to put things inplace,” Wright said. “The year 2013 is toget things finished.”

Westminster Pier Park opened on NewWestminster’s waterfront in June 2012,

but work on improved access viaan overpass at Fourth Street willbe done in 2013. Planning for theTimber Wharf section of the parkis underway and work on thatsection of Westminster Pier Parkwill take place this year.

Wright said discussions aretaking place about the poten-tial to accommodate the Navy atport facilities on the waterfront,but that will depend on otherfactors such as finances.

Not far away from the park,construction of the new AnvilCentre and office tower contin-ues at the corner of Columbia and Eighth

streets.“It’s one of our biggest chal-

lenges to make sure we get thatbuilt on time, on budget, andto have an office purchaser inplace,” Wright said. “We saidwe will sell that building. That iswhat we are working toward.”

After the Uptown PropertyGroup withdrew from the proj-ect, the City of New Westminsterchose to continue building theoffice tower atop the AnvilCentre. Wright is “optimistic”the city will find a purchaserfor the office space this year and

believes that residents will see the project

as being the “best in the history of thecity” in the years to come.

“We have to have the best person orcompany that we can,” he said of thepotential partner for the building. “It isnot a fire sale.”

Some residents have voiced concernsabout the city’s decision to borrow up to$59 million to build the office tower andhave questioned the financial impact thatwould have on local taxpayers.

On the financial front, work is under-way on the New Westminster’s 2013financial plan. In late 2012, city councilapproved utility rate increases that tookeffect Jan. 1, 2013: 3.5 per cent for water;

A blog about newsthat doesn’t always

fit in print

Andrea Mears is afraid someone couldbe injured or killed at the border ofBurnaby and New Westminster.

But Mears isn’t afraid of a city borderdispute – it’s the traffic driving aroundthe area of Cariboo Park at the intersec-tion of Cariboo Road and 10th Avenuethat worries her.

“Two days ago, we were almost hit,”Mears, a New Westminster resident, saidin an interview last month. “I’m crossingthe street, I’ve got the stroller, I’ve gotthe kids, somebody looks down the hill– they’re stopped, and I’m right besidethem – and they start turning. I’m yellingat them, pulling my kids back.”

The intersection is problematic for a lotof reasons, she said, but most of all, forpedestrians. Mears’ four-year-old attendsPied Piper Preschool in Burnaby, and thefamily walks there and to Cariboo Park,as well.

“Coming around that corner, it’s verytreacherous because people look for carsbut they never look for pedestrians,”Mears said. “People just drive like luna-tics, and they don’t look when they’returning corners.”

Peopleoftendriveonthesidewalkwhenthey’re turning left from Cariboo Road,heading towards North Road, she said.

“It’s crazy out here,” Mears added.Traffic already cuts through the side

streets in the area, but Mears said she isworried there will be even more of thathappening as people use the PattulloBridge to avoid paying tolls on the newPort Mann Bridge.

She sees drivers speeding along KentStreet, she said, even though there areschools and parks in the area.

The 30 km/hr zone around CaribooPark doesn’t deter speeders, she added.

“People never do 30,” Mears said.There is a speed bump at the crest of

the hill, but Mears would like to see oneput in near the troublesome intersection,or perhaps a special turn lane, she said.

She would also like to see the narrowsidewalks widened, she said, explainingthat there isn’t a boulevard between traf-fic and the sidewalk.

“I’ve got a new walker here – hedoesn’t want to go in the stroller, hewants to walk on the sidewalk – and the

sidewalk’s pretty narrow,” she said. “Idon’t want him to walk.”

She has been in touch with the City ofNew Westminster since the summer, butthe situation has not been resolved, shesaid.

Jerry Behl, a transportation engineerwith the city, said he has been lookinginto the issue.

“What we’re planning to do is have aquick review of that location next year,”he said, adding he is also communicatingwith the City of Burnaby.

Once the area is assessed, it will beprioritized depending on other sidewalkand safety needs in New Westminster,Behl said.

“It’s a difficult choice to make some-times,” he added.

He also mentioned the narrowness ofthe sidewalk and said the city may con-sider what can be done about it.

“There’s no boulevard to separatepedestrians and the traffic, so you’re pret-ty close to the traffic,” he said, adding,“we do have some land on that side.”

The city will pull accident statistics forthe area and examine some of the issuesthere, he said.

“We tend to do a few feasibility stud-ies and then see what’s the most efficientuse of our money, cost-effective-wise,”Behl said. “First we’ll look to see what theproblems and what the solutions are.”

Doug Louie, assistant director of engi-neering for the City of Burnaby, said inan email that he has been communicatingwith Behl about the issue.

“When New West develops somepreliminary recommendations that mayinvolve Burnaby, I would expect a meet-ing with New West to discuss,” he wrote.“If we develop a consensus at the end ofthe day, we may share in the cost and/orenforcement effort based on jurisdictionalboundaries, but also on available fundingand priorities.

“I would not expect any problemsworking with New West on a safety ini-tiative that could benefit both municipali-ties,” he added.

New West mom worried: ‘It’s crazy out here’BY JANAYA FULLER-EVANS [email protected]

Concerned: Andrea Mears crosses at the intersection of Cariboo Road and 10th Avenue with her children Ainsley, 4, andLachlan, 14 months, and her dog, Ginger. She says drivers often speed through the area and come around the corner withoutlooking for pedestrians.

An outbreak of the highlycontagious Norovirus has closedtwo wards at Royal ColumbianHospital.

Officials say 16 patients andan unknown number of medicalstaff have been infected with thisstrain of the stomach flu.

The outbreak at RCH beganon Dec. 24.

“In winter, we see Norovirus,and this is a particularly bad yearforNorovirusbecausethere’sbeena change in the circulating strain,”said Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin, medi-cal director for infection control

at Fraser Health.“What we’ve done is we’ve

restricted admissions to the twounits where we’ve had most ofthe patients, just to allow us toput some control measures inplace,” she said, noting the closedwards are expected to re-open

this week.All infected patients and staff

have either recovered or arerecovering.

Also known as the Norwalkvirus, Norovirus causes a suddenonset of nausea, forceful vom-iting and watery diarrhea that

typically lasts between one andthree days.

Frequent hand washing is thebest way to prevent infection,and anyone with symptoms isadvised to stay home, Brodkinsaid.

9.4 per cent for sewer; 4.5 per cent forsolid waste; and a 1.44 per cent increasefor electrical that takes effect April 1.

Regionally, transit fares increased onJan. 1 and tolls on the Port Mann Bridgewill rise on March 1. British Columbiansare also being hit by increased MedicalService Plan premiums thisyear.

“We are very aware of that.We all pay the same, we arepaying too,” Wright said ofincreases on various fronts.“When you talk to a senioror an elderly couple in NewWestminster on a fixed income,they are stretching it. You haveto be aware of that. Our handsare tied with some of thoseincreases.”

In 2012, city councilapproved a 1.91 per cent prop-erty tax increase, which wasthe lowest increase in the cityin 11 years.

City council has sinceapproved a 1.75 per cent wageincrease for its CUPE employ-ees, but Wright doesn’t antici-pate that will impact this year’sbudget. He said the retirementof city administrator PaulDaminato in January and thedecision not to renew the eco-nomic development manager’s contracthave given the city an opportunity to“reevaluate” the city’s staffing situation.

“Those two (positions) create chang-es,” he said.

Wright said members of the senior

management team can fill the adminis-trator’s role for the time being, so councildoesn’t have to be hasty in making a deci-sion about a new administrator.

“We are not rushing it,” he said. “Wedon’t have to.”

Dealing with the potential trafficimpact of the Port Mann Bridge on New

Westminster roads is alsoamong the city’s top prioritiesfor 2013. Because of the tollsin place on the Port MannBridge, the city fears motoristswill opt to take the PattulloBridge, as it remains a freecrossing of the Fraser River.

Wright said the City ofNew Westminster, as well asTransLink and the provincialgovernment, will be moni-toring the situation as it notonly impacts the city but theregional road system. He saidearly indications are that thenumber of people using thePattullo Bridge as an alternateroute is higher than anticipat-ed – and that’s before the fullrate for the Port Mann Bridgetoll takes effect.

“We want accurate infor-mation, we want accuratenumbers,” he said. “We willbe following that.”

In 2013, staff will continuework on updating the city’s master trans-portation plan.

That work is also considering variousoptions for the Pattullo Bridge, whichTransLink is proposing to replace with anew crossing.

Assessment notices aredue to land in mailboxesin the next few days, andmany local homeownerswill see a modest increasein the value of their prop-erty.

In New Westminster,assessments overall haveincreased from $13.070 bil-lion (valuation date of July1, 2011) to $13.761 billion(valuation date of July 1,2012).

“Most homes in theNorth Fraser region arerelatively similar in valuecompared to last year’sassessment roll,” ZinaWeston, deputy assessorwith B.C. Assessment, saidin a press release. “Most

single-family homeownerswill see modest changes inthe minus-five-per-cent toplus-10-per-cent range.”

Overall, the NorthFraser’s assessment rollincreased from $124 billionlast year to more than $130billion this year. A total ofalmost $2.1 billion of thisgrowth includes subdivi-sions, rezoning and newconstruction, the releasenoted.

The examples belowdemonstrate market trendsfor residential propertiesin New West by location,property type and ages.The first figure is the 2012assessment, and the sec-ond is the 2013 assessment:◆ Single-family dwell-ing, Glenbrooke, 1950s:$664,000, $707,000

◆ Single-family dwell-ing, Queen’s Park, 1910s:$1,010,000, $1,118,000◆ Single-family dwelling,Sapperton, 1930s: $523,000,$550,000◆ Single-family dwelling,Queensborough, 1960s:$644,000, $672,000◆ Strata, highrise, threebedroom, 1992: $372,000,$392,000◆ Strata, lowrise, twobedroom, 1993: $310,000,$300,000◆ Strata, townhouse, threebedroom, 1990: $476,000,$444,000

“In markets that havedeclined in value since thesummer of 2012, the 2013property assessment maybe higher than current salesor listing prices,” Westonsaid in the release.

Property ownerswho feel that their prop-erty assessment does notreflect market value as ofJuly 1, 2012 or see incor-rect information on theirnotice should contact B.C.Assessment as listed on theassessment notice, Westonstated.

“If a property owner isstill concerned about theirassessment after speakingto one of our appraisers,they may submit a noticeof complaint (appeal) byJan. 31, for an indepen-dent review by a propertyassessment review panel,”Weston said.

Locally, commercial real

estate value increased forstratified offices and strati-fied retail properties in theColumbia Station area andBrewery District in NewWest, according to therelease.

Unless you spent the last monthlounging about on a desert island in theSouth Pacific without internet or TV,you’ve probably had your fill of hear-ing about America’s fiscalcliff. News coverage north ofthe 49th parallel has been justabout as plentiful as southof it, we imagine – probablybecause we know all too well that whatour neighbour does has a great impact onus.

So it’s understandable we’d be keep-

ing a close eye on unfolding events.On the other hand, there’s something

perversely comforting about knowing it’snot happening in Ottawa – it’s bad news,

but at least it’s someone else’sbad news.

Ironically, Canadians havetheir own financial troubles,but we seem to be largely

ignoring them altogether.Time and again over this last year, the

federal government has issued warningsto Canadians about our personal debt

levels. Last month, Statistics Canadaannounced that debt levels were at theirall-time high: for each after-tax dollarwe’re bringing home, we’re borrowingmore than $1.60.

Racking up debt is easy to do, espe-cially in this neck of the woods wheremortgages make up a huge portion ofdebt levels for many people.

But it’s not just housing. When itcomes right down to it, we all – quitesimply – spend too much.

Perhaps it’s because it’s so easy to do,

with online shopping, credit cards, storecards and personal financing availablealmost 24 hours a day. Why wait for thathome renovation or new couch or familyvacation – just charge it now.

Perhaps we’ve lost sight, as a nation,of what we want versus what we need– or the ease of getting more credit hasblinded us to its pitfalls.

Whatever the cause, our own, indi-vidual, fiscal cliffs are rapidly loomingand, if interest rates go up, too manyCanadians will fall off the edge.

Pop quiz: who willlead the province?

The media is full of recapsof the year’s past events,so rather than add another

repetitive article to that collec-tion I thought it would might bemore interesting to look at whatlies ahead.

With that in mind, here arefour key questions where theanswer to each may determinewho is running this province bythis time next year:

1. Can Premier Christy Clarkrebuild her popularity with thevoters?

She has a serious problemhere. Her unpopularity seemsentrenched with the majority ofBritish Columbians, especiallyamong women.

She insists she can lead herparty to an election victory in thespring purely on the strength ofher campaigning abilities.

But there’s a big downside tothat theory.

In an election campaign, shewill be front and centre all dayand every night in front thevoters and it could well meanpeople get even more tired ofhearing and seeing her – result-ing in her standing with peoplesinking even lower, rather thanimproving.

It’s highly unlikely a politicalparty – especially one in powerfor more than a decade – canhold onto government if its lead-er is unpopular. Unfortunatelyfor the B.C. Liberals, that isprecisely the challenge theymay have to overcome come thespring vote.

2. Can Adrian Dix maintainhis cautious approach throughthe beginning of the New Yearand all the way through an elec-tion campaign?

So far, Dix has given no indi-cation he’s going to change hismessage any time.

And the continued strongshowing in the polls by both himand his party suggest there’s noreason to.

The B.C. Liberals will nodoubt run a long, negative cam-paign against Dix and frame it inhighly personal terms.

I suspect Dix won’t take thebait and will stick to his ownmessage.

But here’s Dix’s challenge: canhe keep his own team of candi-dates in check and prevent themfrom going negative, or offeringless-than-moderate policies?

A couple of slip-ups by hisown team could shatter hisongoing attempt to portrayhimself as a moderate, patientleader-in-waiting.

3. What role will the twominor political parties play inthe next election?

The B.C. Conservatives havegone from being a potentiallysignificant force in B.C. politics

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

‘Top Anvil’ should resignDear Editor:

As Mayor Wayne Wright doggedly beyond hismandate defends the ram-rodding through of thefinancing of the office building as part of the civiccentre now named “The Anvil,” I trust he will notmind being called “Top Anvil.”

It is noted that Top Anvil has defied the public’sstrong admonition of the process by hiding thefunding for the office building behind the smokescreen of an “alternative approval process” for a ref-erendum in which the office building borrowing isnot mentioned, although well known to the public.This is probably illegal. It is certainly improper.

What is outrageous is the name calling of hisopponents as “losers” in B.C. Business Magazine lastOctober. He has failed to make any apologies to theover 2,000 voters who asked for a formal referen-

dum, which would give all voters an opportunity touse their democratic rights and vote yay or nay.

As it stands, there were no votes cast againstholding a referendum. He was quite happy to havethe non-voters carry the issue and insult those whodid vote to have a referendum.

Was he afraid to have a formal referendum whereall the facts would be revealed to the taxpayers?There is no law against having a referendum whenthere is evidence of strong yes support well beyondany similar vote in the city.

Top Anvil interprets the silent non-vote as strongsupport for his risky project and pathetically pro-ceeds to hammer the opposition declaring them tobe “apoplectic” in recent media accounts, as well asthe previously mentioned “losers.”

For one more time, the name calling of the votersand taxpayers of the Royal City of New Westminster

is entirely inappropriate for an electedmayor. This is the issue today. It mustbe accepted that the series of disastrousmistakes leading to the present situationrequire the project to proceed whateverthe cost.

The significant mistake was in losingthe knowledgeable partner who wouldcarry the risk.

A wise mayor would have been morecautious, accepted the limits of Council toact without taxpayer authorization, beenpublic with all activities relating to theproject and sought the taxpayers under-standing and support.

Top Anvil has messed his nest by hisderogatory words on top of the mistakes.Obviously he feels that can go out ofbounds as he will not be running again.

It’s clear that the arrogant Top Anvilshould promptly resign and apologize tothe “losers” and “apoplectic.” It wouldalso be appropriate for the other coun-cilors to urge him to do so.

An apology is neededDear Editor:

Re: What’s the big deal about NewYear’s, In My Opinion, The Record, Dec.28.

As the mother of a child killed by adrunk driver I was shocked and dismayedto read Matthew Claxton’s column.

His opinion regarding “the drunks willhave some natural light so they can findtheir car keys and avoid puddles of vomit”shows a callous and cavalier attitudetowards the catastrophic consequences ofindividuals who choose to drink and driveand kill innocent people.

Indeed the fact that this article cameout on the very day that Natalie Warrenwas sentenced to 37 months in jail for driv-ing drunk and killing Kassandra Kauliusmakes it even more disdainful.

Does he read the newspapers? Does hewatch the news? Does he live in the ’60s?These factors make me wonder how he cancall himself a “reporter.”

The blame doesn’t fall entirely on himhowever. The editor of The Record shouldhave removed his ignorant remarks beforepublication.

This is, after all, the Christmas seasonwhen people are reminded at every turnnot to drink and drive.

I would have expected some commonsense from both parties on such a sensitiveissue.

At the very least, Matthew Claxtonshould be offering up an apology to all ofthe victims of drunk drivers for his insen-sitive comments.

to once again sliding intofringe party status, besetby comic buffoonery andamateur bungling.

The party is almostbroke and cannot guaran-tee it will even be able torun a full slate of candi-dates.

At best, the party maywin a couple of seats (thePeace River ridings arepotentially their friendliestregion) but otherwise mayattract enough disaffectedB.C. Liberal voters in afew ridings to allow theNDP to snag a few seats itotherwise wouldn’t have achance of winning.

As for the Green Party,it may have a shot at win-ning one or two seats (abig maybe) on VancouverIsland, where the party isstrongest.

The key riding to watchwill be Oak Bay-GordonHead, where well-knownclimatologist AndrewWeaver is running.

He will either win, ortake enough B.C. Liberal

and NDP voters to allowincumbent Ida Chong tohang on in a tight race.

But the Greens aresimply not a force onthe broaderprovincialstage. Whileit’s incorrect toassume Greenvoters are moreclosely alignedwith the NDPthan any otherparty, it is likelytheir vote eatsinto NDP sup-port more sub-stantially thanothers.

Therefore,if the electionturns out tobe close between the B.C.Liberals and the NDP, atbest the Greens will play aspoiler role and allow theB.C. Liberals to win a fewtight races.

4. Will any single issuedominate politics in thecoming year?

It is unlikely onenew issue will suddenly

emerge as the key issueas the election cycle headsinto the homestretch.

The B.C. Liberals willinsist the big issue is

which party ismost reliableand competentwhen it comesto managingthe economy,while the NDPwill continueto stress itstheme thatthe next votecomes down towho can youtrust, and thatit’s time for achange at thetop.

Other issueswill come and go, but inthe end, those two themeswill be hammered homeagain and again as votingday nears. You might aswell get used to it.

New Westminster Police are asking forthe public’s help identifying a male sus-pect who was caught on camera enteringthe Armani Exchange at QueensboroughLanding at the time it was robbed on Dec.21.

Several thousands of dollars worth ofmerchandise was stolen, according to apolice press release, and the store was

damaged.The police went to the store at 805 Boyd

St. at 5:30 a.m. after receiving a break-and-enter report, the release stated.

Anyone who can provide any infor-mation regarding the identity or where-abouts of the suspect is asked to contactConst. Jason Gelderman at 604-529-2532.

Suspect captured onvideo in clothes caper

The year 2012 was a record-break-ing one for the Burnaby-based WildlifeRescue Association of B.C. The non-prof-it group, with headquarters at BurnabyLake, cared for 4,036 animals – up from3,312 in 2011 – making 2012 the busiestin the organization’s 34-year history.

“The long winter, the salmonella out-break in the spring, which saw thearrival of dozens of pine siskins, andthe closure of Monika’s wildlife shelterin Surrey have all contributed to theincrease in the number of animals com-ing into the care of the Wildlife RescueAssociation,” said Yolanda Brooks in apress release.

“Our staff and volunteers have donean amazing job with caring for so manyanimals, but members of the public arealso playing a vital part in saving lives.

We rely on them to bring animals indistress to us, and with their help andsupport we can continue to provide alifeline for sick and injured wildlife.”

In spring, wildlife rescuers werewarning the public to clean out birdfeeders regularly, as pine siskins, a typeof migratory finch, were dying in largenumbers around the Lower Mainland.Salmonella was thought to be the cul-prit, which can easily spread if birdfeeders aren’t cleaned properly.

Wildlife rehabilitators dealt withmany regular species (geese, raccoons,skunks and herons, for instance) butthey also helped a few critters rarelyfound in the Lower Mainland. A red-listed screech owl, a California quail,and a common poorwill (only one ofthree spotted on the B.C. coast since1953) were among the more unusualbirds that spent time at the rehabilita-tion centre.

A retired New Westminster couple hasfound a fulfilling way to help lift womenin Uganda out of a life of poverty.

Peter and Mary Jo Dawe are commu-nity representatives for Bead for Life, anon-profit organization that sells hand-made jewelry made from recycled paper.Crafted by women in northern Uganda,the fair trade organization pays womencash for their products and then distrib-utes the wares through volunteers whosell the jewelry and shea butter soapsand body creams.

“It’s all voluntary. It’s so satisfying,”said Peter Dawe. “It’s a great thing to dowith your retirement days.”

Bead for Life, a non-profit and a mem-ber of the Fair Trade Federation, aims toeradicate poverty – one bead at a time.

Peter is a retired teacher and highschool principal, while Mary Jo is aretired office administrator. They gotinvolved in Bead for Life after receivinga gift from a friend who was selling theproducts in Seattle.

Peter said it’s a good feeling to knowthat you’re doing something that has apositive effect on people’s lives.

“Prior to their work with Bead forLife, these women were earning about 50cents a day, hammering rock into smallerpieces,” Mary Jo wrote in an email to TheRecord. “With Bead for Life, they earnabout $100 per month, learn businessskills and go on to begin their own localbusiness. Bead for Life requires them to‘graduate’ to their own business, so thatanother woman can get a start. This istheir ‘leg up’, providing them with start-ing capital for their own business.”

Mary Jo noted that Bead for Life usesthe profits from the sale of beads toprovide scholarships for village girls toattend secondary school.

It’s felt that educating girls andwomen is the most effective way toimprove life in a village and keep itspeople healthy.

People can contact Bead for Life,which sends a supply of beads that peo-ple can sell. Unsold beads are returnedto the non-profit’s headquarters inColorado.

“They send a stock. We have beadparties – like Tupperware parties,” Petersaid. “Here in our condo we had a dozenpeople stop in. That was a good start.That encouraged us.”

By the spring, the couple had so

much success selling the beads that theydecided they wanted to do it on an ongo-ing basis. Bead for Life, which is based inBoulder, Colorado, has agreed to providethem with a continuous supply of beads.

“They made us community partnersand send us continuing stock,” Petersaid. “We send the money in and requestwhatever is popular.”

According to Bead for Life, memberscan make about 50 long necklaces in twoweeks.

Last month, the Royal City residentsattended River Market’s holiday market,which provided a terrific opportunity tospread the word about the jewelry.

“The storytelling is an important asthe beads,” Peter said. “The beads are allmade by women in Uganda who are inextreme poverty.”

The women go to marketplaces inUganda where they buy recycled glossy

paper, which comes from magazines andother sources. They later take the sheetsof paper, cut them into triangular strips,roll each piece of paper from wide end tothe tip and make and preserve a bead.

“They let it dry in the sun,” Petersaid. “They bring the beads in after aweek and make bracelets, necklaces andearrings.”

Not only do the women earn moneyfrom the sale of the beads, but they alsodevelop business and literacy skill andopen a bank account. After 18 months,they go into business for themselves.

“There are now 1,000 women run-ning their own businesses in the villageswhere Bead for Life operates,” Petersaid. “It’s an incredible organization.”

The Dawes have enjoyed meetingpeople at various events such as marketsand conferences, where they explain howBead for Life works.

“We always have a good story to tell.We are more than crafters sitting there,”Peter said. “People look at the beads. Wesay, ‘can you believe they are made fromrecycled paper?’ That opens the conver-sation.”

In addition to jewelry, Bead for Lifealso sells soaps and body creams thatare made from shea butter nuts found innorthern Uganda.

“Our bracelets are $6 or $7. Our mostexpensive necklace is $29 – usually $16to $21 is the range of them,” Peter said.“The shea soap, which is a beautifulsoap, is $5 a bar.”

The Dawes are available to showcaseor sell the Bead for Life products at pri-vate events.

“We have got the beads – we areready to travel,” Peter said.

For more information, call 604-515-1569 or email [email protected].

Some readers may remember the1970s when the art of batiking was allthe rage.

Batiked t-shirts, afghans, muumuusand wall hangings were proudly wornand displayed, and many of the Westernartists who adopted this traditionalIndonesian craft went on to adapt theart form, materials and dyes to produce

their own signature styles.This January, the New Westminster

Public Library will be celebrating the artof batik in a number of waysand this is an opportunity forthose who are not acquaintedwith it to learn about it, andthose who miss it to revisittheir love for it.

For the month of January,there will be a display of trad-itional Indonesian batik at theRamp Gallery, sponsored bythe Vancouver Foundation’sNeighbourhood Small Grantsprogram.

In addition, on Saturday, Jan. 19, from1 to 5 p.m., adults can participate in a

batik-making workshop.Learn about the history of the art

form and then try your hand at batiking!Later in the month, the

library will host a two-partworkshop for youth ages nineto 12.

The workshop runs overtwo Thursdays – Jan. 24 andJan. 31 – from 3:30 to 5 p.m.Participants must plan toattend both sessions.

Please note that both pro-grams require pre-registra-tion.

Stop by the library at 716Sixth Ave. or call 604-527-4667.

In the meantime, your family mem-

bers can conjure up ideas while lookingover some of the library books on thecraft.

As we begin 2013,this is the 1,612thOur Past column

since it began in an earlierversion of the newspaperin 1981.

Looking back at morethan 30 years of columns,we see a wide range oftopics and today we arepleased to start anotheryear with a special piecethat links a local NewWestminster building witha radio station.

No, it is not CKNW,but it is very early in B.C.radio history.

The year was 1923, andfor a number of weeksat the end of Decemberthe community, throughits newspaper, watchedthe activity taking placeat the Westminster TrustBuilding downtown atColumbia and Begbiestreets.

Much of the activitywas on the building’s fifthfloor where the requiredequipment for a radio sta-tion was being installed.

Hume and Rumble,

an electrical company,did the installation andits “radio mechanics,” F.Stirling and Roy R. Browndid the technical work.

Radio was not yet verycommon, but in the 1920sa group that includedFred Hume and his com-pany in co-operation withthe Westminster TrustCompany was pushing forthis innovation.

The studio and broad-casting room, according toone person’s later remin-iscences, consisted of one,large, open space and abroom closet that held theheavy broadcasting equip-ment.

Part of the apparatusused to send the radiosignal was situated on theroof of the building, andwhile there appears to besome disagreement as tothe signal’s reach, it didquite well disseminatinginformation “of value andinterest.”

The station, whosecall letters were CFXC,aimed to provide financialreports, city market prices,musical programs withlocal amateur talent, andmusic from a gramophoneplaying from “a supplyof the very latest and bestrecords.”

The management ofthe station noted proudlythat “when radio fans

Their plans initiallycalled for on-air program-ming for an hour or twoeach evening starting withthe 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. slot.

On the afternoon ofChristmas Day 1923,there was a broadcast ofseasonal greetings, someChristmas carols anda message from CanonD’Easum of Holy TrinityCathedral.

While the broadcastwas successful and theon-air material was clearand distinct, more workremained with an officialopening yet to come.

That opening was heldon New Year’s Eve, andincluded a number ofcomments, speeches and adiscussion by Fred Humeon the coming of radio,“the newest field of activ-ity as yet little explored.”

CFXC was now on theair from the WestminsterTrust Building in down-town New Westminster.

They didn’t last long,but they were there at thestart of local radio history.

Next week’s Our Pastwill relate some wonder-ful details from this local,relatively unknown story.

Superstar celebrates her yearIf Burnaby soccer star

Christine Sinclair was notalready Canada’s mostrecognizable female ath-lete, she is now.

The 29-year-old captainof Canada’s bronze-medal-winning women’s soccerteam led the Canadian ath-letes into Olympic stadiumin London as her country’sflagbearer for the closingceremonies.

It was a fitting tribute tothe single most influentialplayer in women’s soccerin the country over the pastdecade, and the unluckyheroine of Canada’s heart-breaking 4-3 overtime lossto eventual gold medallistTeam United States in thesemifinals at the Games.

Although always reluc-tant to take the spotlight,it’s a responsibility, notunlike the unselfish bur-den of shouldering the pit-falls and fortunes of thenational team for so manyyears, she has learned sowell to carry.

“This a huge honour,and I wish I could havemy teammates right herewith me,” said Sinclair.

“We want the nextgeneration of young girlsto dream of being in theOlympics and getting amedal around their necks.If we can instill in themjust the belief that thiscan happen, then we havedone our jobs.”

For Sinclair, that questfor a medal at a majorinternational competi-tion ended with Canada’simprobable 1-0 victory

over France and earnedthe Canadian women’steam one of the country’s12 bronze medals at theGames.

It was also Canada’sfirst team medal at theSummer Olympics datingback to the Berlin Gamesof 1936.

All but broken afterCanada’s devastating last-place finish at the World

Cup last year, Sinclairstayed with the programand under new nationalteam head coach JohnHerdman helped raise theteam’s stature to amongthe world’s best.

Leading up to theGames last summer,Sinclair set a new nationalsingle season goal scoringmark in international con-tests with 17 goals.

She added to that total,leading all scorers at theLondon Olympics with atournament-best six coun-ters, including the threememorable markers thatalmost sank the unsink-able American warship inthe stuff Hollywood spinsinto its movie making.

Indeed, Sinclair’s smil-ing face was emblazonedon the front pages of major

dailies across Canada afterthe win over France.

The photo came in starkcontrast to the iconic imageof Sinclair on her kneesand her hands clenchedabove her head, with herface overcome with theemotion of the moment fol-lowing that wonderful winover France in Coventry.

Canada’s choice: Local superstar Christine Sinclair became the poster woman for Canada’s achievement insports in 2012.

With goalie Bo Didur onthe bench for a sixth attack-er, Malik Kaila moved thepuck to Jarid Lukosevicius,who made a short pass toDel Grosso, who roofed thepuck past Carolina playerof the game Sean Kuehn.

The Giants won theirfirst Mac’s Cup in 2009.

After a scoreless first 10-minute overtime period,Colton Kerfoot sent EricMargo and Cressey awayup the right side on a two-on-one break.

Margo left a drop passto Cressey, whose returnpass glanced off a defence-man’s skate past Kuehn forthe winning goal.

Giants’ player of thegame Anthony Conti scoredthe Giants’ first goal, tyingthe score 1-1 on a powerplay late in the openingperiod.

Didur was also a big fac-tor, stopping eight of 32shots in the Giants’ net inthe first period of OT.

Cressey was also thehero in the Giants’ 4-2win over Pirati Chomutovfrom the Czech Republicin the semifinals. Cresseyscored two goals, includingthe eventual game-winnerin the middle frame, in athree-point effort.

REAL ESTATE

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Jan. 6 - Jan. 12, 2013★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent continueson ambition, status, prestige relationships and yourdealings with authorities. From 2008 to 2024,higher-ups are serious, implacable, heavy-handed.Yet, from 2011 to 2018, rebellious urges visit youstrongly; you have seldom been so unwilling tocompromise. The result could be a battle royal: butbefore you enter it, contemplate their motives andyour options. To succeed, fulfill higher-ups’ dreamsand social wishes, which are the same as your ownfinancial, research and/or sexual goals. Sorry this ispuzzling: no other way to express it. Clues Sunday.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Soon love questionswill be resolved – the mysterious, the lustful, willdissolve to become understanding, gentle affection.(That’s not a decrease in love, but a transformationto a stronger base.) Continue, all month, to avoidfriction with higher-ups: smile, tackle chorespromptly. You might be “kicked upstairs” – into amanagement role. The nicest thing: these weeksare filled with a mellow wisdom: useless fears meltaway. Relationships (to autumn 2015) are slow,demand loyalty and “repeated effort” – but thistrend also brings the right mate to singles – cluesSunday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: As I predicted, yourfriendship circle has begun to grow over the lastfew months (compared to 1996-2011). This month,you might fear that the old barrier has returned, as asolitary mood steals over you. But this is temporary –by late January, and especially February to June (anddoubly especially in April) your optimism will return,and friendships will increase again! Meanwhile, usethe solitude, depths, mysteries and urges of thepresent to invest, or to make good changes in yourlife: bold changes! (Best Thursday/Friday.) Protecthealth Sunday/Monday. New vistas midweek.

Cancer June 21-July 22: This week starts withromance and/or passion – and/or, because thepassion can be creative, or about a risky venture,or passion for a child’s future. Be careful in these– a secret, a too-lustful approach, or a money orhealth factor (e.g., herpes) could lead love intodisappointment or anger. Be moderate.Tackle choresmidweek. Thursday/Friday bring opportunity andopposition. True love is a potential all week, but iftrue love is born now, it’s likely to be a fiery, perhapsrocky one! The weekend is for mulling, figuring it allout. All month, invest or research in career.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: A pile of work faces you.(With more chores than you might suspect on thehome front, as Sunday/Monday hint.) Might aswell plunge in and get it done. A relationship heatsup now into February – this can be love or enmity,but a definite societal, intellectual, travel, culturalor legal theme accompanies it. “Dynamic” couplesmight agree to wed – or travel. Tuesday/Wednesdayemphasize romance, pleasure, sports, creativesurges and speculative ventures, but only Tuesday“come through.” There’s that work – in spades –Thursday/Friday. Careful Saturday eve: wrongrelationship!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: The accent lies onromance, creativity, sports, games, charming kids,beauty and pleasure – you’re riding a winning streak,especially Thursday/Friday, when a new love affair ora new creative project could start. But work demandsyour attention, too. This week, a schedule keeps youfrom careening all over the place. (Ignore schedulesnext week, when opportunities need flexibility.)Sunday (better) and Monday (a dud) feature shorttrips, communications, curiosity and variety. Attend toyour foundations, home and family (and your need forrest) midweek – start projects Tuesday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The focus lies on home,children, nutrition, land, security, retirement. Thesebasic matters are undergoing deep, significant changein the 2008-2024 period. Many Librans “made theirnest” in the last three years: but now you might bespending on that nest, or on your children. You don’tmind, because you see the lasting value involved. Still,keep expenses in line with a conservative incomepicture, now to late 2015 (clues Sunday/Monday).A romantic thread winds through January, couldlead you to a true mate, especially from the 21st intoFebruary. Security and amour don’t mix.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The accent lies oncommunications and travel, especially Thursday/Friday, when a new project might emerge. Becurious – what you find now might form the basisfor future projects/actions. E.g., you might wanderinto a neighbourhood where your next home willbe. Act slowly, wisely and gently on the home frontall month. Your energy and charisma soar Sunday/Monday (though little might get done Monday – stickto routine jobs). Chase money, buy/sell Tuesday. Settleinto home comforts Saturday – a.m. lucky, p.m. not.Soon – not yet – a major, beneficial lifestyle changewill arrive.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Chase money (buy/sell, expand clients, tug your boss’s shirttail, etc.).That will be easier next week than this one, but bywaiting you might miss a good opportunity (probablyThursday/Friday) to launch a lucrative process. You’llfeel restless all month, as a streak of curiosity andwanderlust draw you toward a pleasurable (orromantic) destination. Reading, writing, news mediaand coffee shops can ease your itchy feet. If youhave feelings for someone, tell them. Don’t mistakesolitude for security. Lie low, rest early week. Youshine Monday/Tuesday! Travel Saturday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Your energy, charismaand effectiveness continue at a yearly high. Startimportant projects, see and be seen, call in favours,propose new schemes to bosses or employees. You’reon a rise! Money flows to you all month – bank it,or you could lose more than you gain. Spend only –carefully – on household items, real estate, food andshelter. Your optimism, cheerfulness and happinessrise on a swell of friendly feeling Sunday/Monday.(Monday, money and social plans might conflict.)Until late 2015 your hopes and wishes will be sober,serious – and more likely to come true.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Retreat, plan. Rest,contemplate. Support others, and seek support ifyou need it. Therapy, charitable acts, interfacing withgovernment agencies or corporate head offices –these go well. Your determination and sex appeal arestrong now, but keep them “in reserve.” Avoid over-exertion, and overstaying your welcome. By the 19thonward, you’ll burst into an all-round explosion ofaccomplishment. Higher-ups are observing Sunday/Monday. Smile, rather than vent your frustrationMonday. Hope returns midweek. But the full extent ofyour weariness hits Thursday/Friday: find sweet rest.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: This week and nextbring popularity, light romance, wish fulfillment,entertainment and optimistic plans for the future.Be thoughtful Sunday/Monday. Wisdom will nudgeyou to reject a money source that’s “tainted” or toosecretive. Be ambitious Tuesday; act early, take stepsto firm/form alliances and seize career opportunities.Wednesday’s the same, a pleasant, ambitious day– trouble is, it yields little. Stick to routine.
