No wordon noisecomplaintdecisionThe Canadian Transportation Agency

doesnt have a time frame for dealing with adecision about train noise in the rail yard atWestminster Quay.

The Quayside Community Board is await-ing a decision from the agency that it hopeswill resolve longstanding issues regardingnighttime noise and vibration.

In 2008, the agency helped the residentsgroup reach a mediated settlement with railcompanies operating in the yard next to theneighbourhood. The settlement sought toeliminate unreasonable noise and vibrationsgenerated by nighttime rail operations.

When the decision does come out, itsa decision on the enforcement of the medi-ated settlement. Its not necessarily a newdecision, said Angela Ebsworth, seniorcommunications advisor for the CanadianTransportation Agency. I cant really speak tothe mediated settlement because mediation isconfidential.

According to Ebsworth, the agency dealswith complaints on a case-by-case basis. Shesaid the agency hasnt put complaints fromother jurisdictions on hold while it considersthe complaint from the Quayside residents.

The agency doesnt work that way. Thereis no such thing as a queue. There are nodecisions on hold, she told The Record. Weare dealing with all the decisions, all the com-plaints as they come in on noise and vibrationfrom across the country. There is nothing onhold.

JamesCrosty,pastpresidentof theQuaysideCommunity Board, told The Record recentlythat more than 20 communities are waiting forthe decision to be rendered.

We go on a case-by-case basis, Ebsworthsaid. This particular one isnt entirely uniquein terms of being a precedent in that sense.

Ebsworth had no information about whena decision could be rendered.

Rattling along the rails: Its not clear when a decision will be made on the complaint led bythe Quayside Community Board regarding nighttime noise and vibrations from the railyard next to the Quayside neighbourhood.

Movewill costtransitpolice

The recent move toSappertons brewery dis-trict may be costing TransitPolice an extra $1.5 million,but Chief Neil Dubord saidthe move comes with somemajor benefits.

It allows us to be ableto amalgamate (TransLink)operations into one build-ing. Previously we were intwo separate buildings, andwhenever youre separated,even if its just by blocks,its difficult for communi-cation, he said.

As previously reportedby The Record, TransLinkheadquarters, TransitPolice operations and headoffices for Coast MountainBus Company will sharethe new location in NewWestminsters brewery dis-trict come fall.

The move has beencited as a money-saver forTransLink (saving the com-pany $2.6 million per year),as well as a benefit for com-munications between thethree transit operations.

The move, along withinflation costs for employ-ee benefits packages, willcost the police departmentabout $1.5 million extra which is about a fiveper cent increase from lastyears budget, accordingto the Transit Polices firstquarter financial report.

While Dubord admitsits a lot, he said there

There was a little something for everyone at last week-ends 12th Street Music Festival.

Food, dancing, petting zoo and, of course, music wereall part of the fun on Sunday, July 28.

In past years, the 12th Street Music Festival has beenheld on the B.C. Day long weekend, but it was changed toaccommodate for more people.

Candase Anderson, from Ambers Choice restaurant,said moving the date had a huge impact on the number ofpeople who took in the festival.

Not having it on the long weekend may have helpedboost turnout, she said, adding the turnout was waybetter than last year and more vendors were alsoinvolved in the community event.

Promotion and media coverage also helped get theword out about the event, said Anderson, whose mother,Amber Anderson, owns Ambers Choice and is presidentof the West End Business Association.

Anderson said the merchants along 12th Street werereally pleased with the event, and it went off without ahitch, though it was hectic start in the morning to preparefor the big day.

Fire inspectorissues warningafter bush resTuesday marked the 33rd day without rain, and

while for most people in the Lower Mainland no rainis a good thing, New Westminster Fire and RescueService is reminding residents to be careful in the drydays of summer.

Fire crews have attended a couple of minor outdoorfires during the recent dry spell and want residents totake care not to inadvertently start fires.

People are being rather careless with discardingcigarette butts, said fire inspector Kathy Ius. We havehad a couple of small, smouldering fires. Nothing toodrastic.

The fire department urges people to be cautiouswhen dealing with cigarette butts and burning materi-als.

The fire starting hazard has risen dramatically inthe past few weeks, Ius said. Dont throw your ciga-rette butts out, and make sure any burning materialsare put out properly.

Meanwhile, next door in Burnaby, firefighters spentFriday afternoon putting out three bush fires along therailway tracks between Highway 1 and Lougheed.

Crewsrespondedandput themout, saidBurnabysAssistant Fire Chief Darrell Smith.

While the blazes were easily stopped, Smith saidblazes similar to those on Friday can start and spreadquickly, especially in and around parks.

Burnaby has a lot of parks, and people walk inthe parks and sometimes people smoke and throw thecigarette butts (into the bush), he said.

Smokers should be extra careful where they throwtheir cigarette butts and make sure its completely outbefore they toss it to reduce its chances of starting afire, he said.

But its not only cigarette butts that can start a fire.Other catalysts include sunlight, glass, lightning andeven cars.

The heat from the catalytic converter will start afire, he said.

During the summer months people need to be extracautious when enjoying the outdoors especially dur-ing this dry period in the Lower Mainland.

There are many things outdoors that can catch onfire quickly, he added.

Things like bark mulch and dried trees, he said.The cedar trees, those types of things, they catch fireand theyll burn extremely fast.

If someone does spot a fire, the first thing to do isassess whether it could be put out easily if its smallenough. If its gotten too big, call the fire department,Smith urged.

If they have a bottle of water, pour it on it, but if itsbig, get out of there, he said. Call us.

The Burnaby Fire Department has a wild land teamthat handles bush fires and forest fires, but Smithwould rather not see any fire escalate that much.

Just be careful with fire, he said. And enjoy thesummer.

wasnt much choiceinvolved in the decisionto move to the Sappertonlocation.

We didnt have anysay at all. It was a deci-sion made by TransLink,he said. It wasnt like wecould opt out.

Dubord added thatunlike municipal policedepartments, the TransitPolice is required to payrent for the location it occu-pies, which has to be fac-tored into the budget.

For us, because wearent municipally funded, TransLink pays rent inthe building, so that rent isthen sharedwith the TransitPolice, he said.

The added costs wereannounced in the quar-terly report, which alsoannounced the TransitPolices successful savingsof about $400,000 for offi-

cer overtime pay. While theadded expenses of mov-ing and benefits have offsetthese savings, Dubord saidhis force is looking for otherways of cutting corners.

Well be looking atother efficiencies this yearto be able to ensure that wecan do whatever we canto save and cut corners,he said.

But despite the addedcosts, Dubord said he ispleased the move meanseasier access to the SkyTrainsystem for officers.

The accessibility to theSkyTrain system is certain-ly so great from Sapperton,with us just being able towalk the bridge, he said.

City to consider procurement policy changesNew Westminster city council

wants more time to contemplatechanges to its existing procure-ment policy.

City council was set to consid-er revisions to several areas of the2007 procurement policy on July8 but tabled the report until Aug.26. The changes deal with itemssuch as spending thresholds,authority to obtain quotes andto commit city funds, sole/singlesourcing considerations and vari-ances to projects budgets.

(It was) tabled only becausethere is so much to it and wewant to discuss it, said MayorWayne Wright. The day that wetabled some of the things, there

was 42 issues.Wright said he supports the

proposed amendments but had acouple of questions he wanted topose to staff.

I had questions that are easilyanswered, but I think they shouldbe answered in the public theamounts and how we are relativeto other cities, is there any therethat cause any confusion for thepublic, he said.

While staff proposed changesto the current policy that wouldgive greater clarity to purchas-es of goods and services, somecritics have expressed concernthat the changes will give toomuch power to city staff andkeep citizens in the dark aboutcity spending.

Wright said he hasnt received

any letters or phone calls frompeople who are concerned aboutthe changes to the policy. Hesaid a chart in the staff reportshowed a comparison betweenwhats being proposed in NewWestminster and policies in otherMetro Vancouver municipalities.

It compares all the other cit-ies so you can see it really easily,he said of the chart. We are notout of line. In fact, we are prob-ably right in the very middle.

Some concerns have beenraised about the proposedchange that wouldnt require thecity to post transactions under$75,000 on the citys website asdepartments could obtain quotesdirectly from vendors withoutgoing through the purchasingdepartment. The city is current-

ly required to get three quotesand post any purchases valuedbetween $10,000 and $100,000 onthe citys website.

The updated procurementpolicy being considered by citycouncil states that preference tolocal suppliers will be provided,when all other criteria are equal.The existing procurement policymakes no mention of local prefer-ence purchasing.

The New WestminsterChamber of Commerce wantsthe city to find a balance betweenefficiency, opportunity and trans-parency with its purchasing pro-cess.

While the protect ourown reaction is natural, theNew Westminster Chamber ofCommerce said it can be self-

defeating in the long run as B.C.companies in all communitiesrely on domestic and regionalmarkets to create and grow jobs.

Other concerns raised fromour local businesses are that thereis the perception that such policychanges may see contracts beingawarded to a chosen few andthat the opportunities for pro-curement may not be accessibleto all, stated a chamber pressrelease. As a general principle,the New Westminster Chamberof Commence is in favour of localgovernment initiatives to reducewaste and inefficiency, so long assuch initiatives strike an appro-priate balance with providinglocal businesses with reasonableopportunities to compete for citytenders.

Firefighters went door-to-door on themorning of July 22 to notify QueensPark residents of a temporary evacuationbecause of a gas leak.

Firefighter Kathy Ius,who is in charge ofcommunity outreach for NewWestminsterFire and Rescue Services, said a diggingaccident occurred after a backhoe hit agas line in the area around Oakland andFirst Street. New Westminster firefightersinitially went door to door and asked someresidents to leave their homes so crewshad space to work and firefighters couldensure everyone was safe.

It was a precautionary thing, Iussaid.

Blair Fryer, the citys communicationsand economic development manager, saidcrews working on a new storm sewer hita gas line. Residents living between Firstand Second streets and Fourth Avenueand St. Patrick Street were temporarily

evacuated but were allowed to return totheir homes about 20 minutes later whenFortis B.C. shut down the gas to the area,he said.

Now, Fortis works through the fix,Ius said. My understanding is they aredealing with the fix. The way around thatis to shut off gas to the immediate area.

Fryer noted that residents who werenthome at the time of the incident will likelyfind cards from Fortis B.C. indicating thatgas had been cut to the area and providinginformation about how to ensure the gas isflowing again.

In June, Fortis B.C. shut down gas in thearea around the former St. Marys Hospitalafter crews hit a gas line while working atthe future school site.

They did call before they dug, Iussaid about the incident at the school site.It wasnt shown on the grid.

Fortis B.C. advises individuals andbusinesses to be safe and call before theydig so they know what utilities could beburied underground.

Royal City residents are being encour-aged to complete the My Health MyCommunity questionnaire.

The City of NewWestminster will makequestionnaire information available at civicfacilities. The questionnaire is being donein the region until Dec. 31 and is estimatedto take 15 to 20 minutes to complete.

The questionnaire will gather specificinformation about the health status andneeds of the local population, stated astaff report. The results will be sharedwith all levels of government, academicinstitutions and community and non-prof-it organizations to address health inequal-ities and to inform planning, programdesign and service delivery.

The goal is to have at least two per centof the population aged 18 and over com-plete the questionnaire.

Brew pubs allowed?Breweries, distilleries and wineries

could one day be allowed to open in com-mercial areas of the Royal City.

City council has directed staff to for-ward proposed amendments to the zoningbylaw to the citys advisory planning com-mission for comment. The changes wouldallow brew pubs and craft-style breweriesin certain areas of the city.

Employees urged to giveEmployees of the City of New

Westminster are being encouraged to boosttheir contributions to the United Way.

Jennifer Marshall and Paul McDonellrecently appeared before city council toencourage the city to continue supportingthe municipal United Way campaign.

Marshall said a huge percentage offunds collected in New Westminster areused to fund programs in the city.

According to McDonell, four per centof the money raised by the United Wayof the Lower Mainland is spent in NewWestminster, even though the city onlyraises one per cent of the money that isdispersed by the organization.

Its official. Weve broken anotherrecord the sunniest July since 1985. ByThursday, we could break another one,the driest July since 1953.

This has been a fabuloussummer so far. Kids are enjoy-ing the spray parks, MoodyPark pool is full, and theresno end to the sunny fun thatcan be had. Including that favourite ofsummer traditions camping.

But sunny skies and sizzling temper-atures also bring problems, such as fire

risks.This year, despite the dry conditions,

B.C. hasnt had a campfire ban as of yet.For the first month of summer, people

could set up a tent and roasthot dogs to their hearts con-tent.

That may change this week-end, but even if it doesnt, fire

safety is something we all need to keepin mind at this time of year.

When camping, it is always bestto take a leave it as you found it

approach, and this includes making sureall campfires are properly doused sotheres no risk of an errant spark ignit-ing the surrounding trees or grass. Itsalso important to make sure the areaaround the campfire is free of brush.

But campfires arent the only risk.Plenty of brush fires and forest fireshave been set by a cigarette tossed non-chalantly from a car window.

Recently, the New Westminster FireDepartment had to put out a numberof small brush fires, as reported in our

page 3 story.We may live in a coastal city, but it is

a city with many parks and green spaces.During the hot and dry summer months,those areas are at risk.

Many of us take great pride inour city Queens Park, FriendshipGardens, Glenbrook Ravine and themany community parks throughout NewWestminster.

We all have a role to play in protect-ing these spaces and ensuring theydont go up in smoke.

Economic plan onshaky ground

The cornerstone of the B.C.Liberal governments long-term economic strategy isan expanded liquefied naturalgas industry, but a new studyunderscores how shaky some ofthe assumptions embedded inthat strategy are.

The study, commissioned bythe B.C. Natural Gas WorkforceStrategy Committee, estimatesthat an eye-popping 75,000skilled workers will be neededonce five LNG plants are oper-ational.

As well, a further 60,000workers will be needed in theconstruction phase.

This represents an enormousamount of skilled workers. Ofcourse, the study is optimisticthat all five LNG plants willcome in line within a few years,which is by no means guaran-teed.

But if even two or three plantsbecome reality, a large number ofskilled workers will be needed.

And this potential develop-ment underscores the urgency ofthe need for government actionand funding to address thelooming skills shortage that willsoon confront British Columbia.

Ive written before how our

changing demographics areworking against us when itcomes to skilled trade workers.Recent Statistics Canada datashows about two-thirds of thoseworkers in B.C. are over the ageof 45, which means many ofthem will soon be approachingretirement.

Compounding the problem isthat those retirees will take withthem their years of experience.This means foremen and othermanagers will start leaving thetrades at a disproportionatelyhigher rate than those trainedbut inexperienced workers whoenter the profession.

The government, in itsrecent Throne Speech, promiseda comprehensive 10-year skillstraining plan that presumablywill deal with this looming crisis.So far, however, we have yet tosee any details of that plan.

And the government doesntseem to have a lot of room tomove on this front any timesoon. It is desperately tryingto balance its budget, and thethree-year fiscal plan shows thatfunding for advanced education which funds skills training isactually set to decline by morethan $40 million over the nexttwo years.

The fact the governmentappears locked in a fiscal box fora few years suggests it may wantmore say in how universities,colleges and institutes spend thedollars it allocates to them.

For example, given that thereis a surplus of teachers in B.C., is

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Lancers dance a valued traditionDear Editor:

Re: Lancers dance could go the way of BlackPeter, Royal City Record, July 12.

Im appalled at Coun. Chuck Puchmayrs motionto council. To project thoughts that a man asking ayoung lady to dance in a public place to celebrate aspecial day is cause for some kind of amber alertis just over the top.

Maybe a little history lesson could be presentedto council.

May Day has been a traditional day of festivitiesthroughout the centuries in towns and villagesof Europe. Earliest celebrations appear in per-Christian times.

Then in the Roman Catholic tradition, May isobserved as Marys month, Mary adorned withflowers. The British involved a military regiment,

the Queens Royal Lancers.The tradition became part of the Royal City.I think, traditional or modern times, the Lancers

should be shown with nothing but respect.Although I grew up in Vancouver, my family was

from New Westminster and my mother took meout of school to attend May Day. The evening at theQueen Parks Arena was so exciting, and I was hon-oured to dance with J. J. Johnston, Mr. May Day.

We do not need political interference to deprivefolks of their right to partake or not.

NewWestminsterschool trusteeMichaelEwen said his understanding is that if astudent is placed in the room, it is agreedupon by the parents and the staff.

Also, those rooms are only be used inconjunction with an IEP.

What constitutes an agreement? Doesthat mean parents must sign the IEP ifthey agree so that it is documented priorto the use of a quiet room or personalworkspace?

Does the New Westminster SchoolDistrict currently have any of the IEPsigned by parents at all? What are the SD40 policies and protocols that clearly spec-ify the use of those rooms? What legisla-tions or regulations allow a school to put astudent with special needs in those roomsduring an outburst or meltdown?

It is very concerning!F.K. Chan, New Westminster

Smart appliances neededDear Editor:

Outside North America, homeownersand even renters have traditionally chosenappliances, fixtures, etc. for their homes.

Hydro, natural gas, heating oil, water,etc. have also always been much moreexpensive than here.

These two reasons were strong incen-tives for manufacturers to come out with

appliances and fixtures that save morepower each year than the previous ones.

For many years, many homeowners inEurope and other continents have beenusing small dedicated computerized sys-tems to monitor their home appliances,lights, heating, water, gas, motorized shut-ters (they too save energy), alarm systems(gas and water leaks, smoke, CO2, break-ins, etc.) and also the meters.

A stand-alone smart meter, like thoseinstalled by B.C. Hydro, that is not partof an automated domotic system will nothelp us save energy.

How many of us will go outside tocheck the meter between 7 and 9 p.m., thenmanually turn off the TV, stove, heatingand more to save power?

In many countries, peak and off-peakhydro and gas rates have been the normfor years.

In one European country, the nationalhydro provider divides the year in blue,white and red days.

Each day has peak and off-peak times.Both peak and off-peak rates changesdepending the colour of a day and thesechanges each year.

Only a computerized system can keeptrack of all that.

Until all the appliances, fixtures, etc.in our homes (and offices) talk to oneanother, the B.C. Hydro smart meters willonly be better looking toys than the previ-ous ones.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

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

the provinces newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member

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

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

it wise to continue to fundas many people to becometeachers? Or should someof that money be redirect-ed into training people forprofessions that will pro-vide well-paying jobs foryears to come?

Post-secondary institu-tions jealously guard theirindependence, but I haveto wonder whether thegovernment that fundsthem will start providingthat funding with somestrings attached.

If a strong liquefied nat-ural gas industry is indeedthe key to B.C.s economicfuture (and many, such asGreen Party MLAAndrewWeaver, are very skepticalabout that claim) and ifit does require thousandsof newly trained workers,the B.C. Liberals better getmoving fast on that file.

Hopefully, well havesome idea what that 10-year plan for improvingskills training will look

like in the fall.

The old debate overwhere B.C. Ferriesshould build its ships hasresumed with news thecompany will need threemore vessels.

Some, such as the NDPand the B.C. Federationof Labour, are demand-ing they be built in B.C.shipyards. Others, likeTransportation MinisterTodd Stone, say its up toB.C. Ferries to decide.

Understandably, B.C.Ferries wants competitivebidding on the projects,which means shipyards inEurope can bid (a Germanshipyard built the three CClass ferries a few yearsago). The NDPs argu-ment about the economicspinoffs that would comefrom building them inB.C. mean nothing to B.C.Ferries, since those spin-offs have nothing to dowith their bottom line.

In fact, allowing only

B.C. shipyards to bid onthe vessels constructionwould dampen the compe-tition, since the B.C. yardswould have less motiva-tion to submit lower bidsif rivals in Germany werebeing shut out.

Its likely the B.C. ship-yards will bid on the ves-sels, and I suspect theyllhave a better chance oflanding the contracts thistime around. The ves-sels are smaller than theC Class ones, and theshipyards own infrastruc-ture has expanded andimproved since landingthose big federal govern-ment shipbuilding con-tracts a couple of yearsago.

In other words, they areprobably more competitivenow which means theymay not need the insidedeal the NDP and labourare demanding.

A suicide hotline that directs callsto crisis lines throughout the prov-ince will not be shut down after all.

The Crisis LineAssociation of B.C.was planning to close the toll-free 1-800-suicide and 310-mental health(310-6789) numbers since fundingwas due to run out July 1, but theProvincial Health Services Authorityhas offered interim funding for theservice until March 31, 2014.

The Provincial Health ServicesAuthority and the B.C.MentalHealthand Addiction Services were con-cerned about the potential risks ofclosure of the networks on June 30,2013, which is why we have foundone-time funding that will preventthis immediate closure, wrote Dr.Connie Coniglio, for the Provincial

Health Services Authority, in a state-ment to The Record.

The association confirmedthe health authority will provide$120,000 to the crisis line associationto continue operating the two num-bers that route calls to the provinces14 individual crisis lines.

The health authority will alsoimmediately begin the process ofassessing the service throughout thenext nine months to determine howto continue the funding after April 1next year.

Im very optimistic that itsgoing to end up meaning a far bet-ter opportunity for callers across theboard come next April, because wellhave a chance to work out what cur-rently is the situation, said JackieYurick, spokesperson for the CrisisLine Association of B.C. I thinkat the end of the day, its going to

be better access service delivery forcallers.

Since the two network numberswere launched, theyve handled50,000 calls, and B.C. crisis linesfield one call every three-and-a-halfminutes, according to the associa-tion. During times when demandfor service is high, the service auto-matically reroutes calls to other crisislines to increase response time.

Peggy Mrazek, a retired griefcounsellor in New Westminster, saidshe is pleased to hear the fund-ing will allow the phone service tocontinue but wants to see the sui-cide hotline become a permanentlyfunded service in the province.

I would hope that in the futureit will not have to be revisited everyyear and that it will end up perma-nently coming under the Ministry ofHealth, she said.

In the article Making memories in the West End,published in The Record on July 19, Sharmeen Ritchiesname was spelled incorrectly.

The name was taken from the book Memories are Madeof This. The Record regrets the error.

The report is in regarding thedeadly shooting that happened lastfall at the Starlight Casino in NewWestminster, but the public wontsee it, according to the IndependentInvestigations Office.

Chief civilian director RichardRosenthal submitted his report toCrown counsel July 12 concerning theNovember shooting death of 48-year-old Mehrdad Bayrami.

As previously reported by TheRecord, in the early hours of Nov.8, police were called to respond toshots fired at the Starlight Casino

in Queensborough. When officersarrived at the casino, they located alone man in the parking lot.

Officers closed off the area andattempted to engage the man, butat about 10:45 a.m. the man was shotby one of the officers on scene.

The man later died from his inju-ries.

According to the IndependentInvestigations Office, Rosenthal wasrequired to write a review of theofficer-involved shooting, which hecompleted July 12.

While the report wont make anyrecommendations on whether charg-es should be laid, a report is requiredwhen the (chief civilian director)

considers that an officer may havecommitted an offence under anyenactment, states the media releasefrom the Independent InvestigationsOffice.

Its now up to the Criminal JusticeBranch and Crown counsel whethercharges are laid against the officerinvolved.

This decisionwill bemadedepend-ing on whether counsel believesthe offence can be proven in courtbeyond a reasonable doubt.

The report will not bemade public,and the Independent InvestigationsOffice will not be providing any fur-ther information regarding the caseor review.

Comedic romp: James King as Parson Hugh Evans, Ron Edgar as Slender and Carol Davison as Mis-tress Shallow in the Shadows and Dreams production of The Merry Wives of Windsor, playing at theQueens Park bandshell, with a performance this Sunday at 2 p.m.

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Its Shakespeare as the Bard himselfwould have enjoyed it outdoors, underthe sun, in a family-friendly atmosphere.

New Westminsters Shadows andDreams Theatre Company is once againbringing Shakespeare to life at theQueens Park bandshell.

The companys run of The Merry Wivesof Windsor began July 20 and finishesup this weekend with a performance onSunday, Aug. 4 at 2 p.m.

This is the companys seventh year ofproducing shows.

The company was formed by theBrooke and Elcheshen families so theycould do a show together without break-ing the bank on babysitting, explainsa press release from Stephen Elcheshen.All the actors who were invited to jointhe first production, AMidsummer NightsDream, knew that they may occasionallybe called upon to entertain a small childwhile their parents were on stage.

Elcheshen said theyve seen their chil-dren grow up influenced by the greatgroup of people involved in the com-pany.

And while the cast may vary fromyear to year, the commitment, fun andfamily atmosphere stays decidedly thesame, he said.

Performances take place rain or shine.Audience members are invited to sit onthe benches at the bandshell or bringtheir own chair or blanket to get closerto the stage.

Its free, and no tickets are required.

NewWestminsters Century Househas a series of summertime daytripsfor seniors looking to get away fromthe city for a little relaxation andadventure.

The seniors community centreorganizes a variety of daytrips forthe over-50 crowd, and so far thisseason, the outings have provedpopular.

One of the recent trips saw roughly19 seniors rafting down theSquamish River on July 16.

It was gorgeous. First of all, youhave to realize how lucky we wereto have such beautiful day, saidKevin McKay, a recreation leaderwith Century House.The water wassmooth, the air was warm. It wasjust a perfect day.

The four-hour trip cost $55 andincluded lunch, and participantsstopped to explore a cavern on theway.

(They) absolutely loved it,McKay said.Some of the youngerseniors were hoping for a similartrip next year that was little moreadventurous they enjoyed the daythoroughly. Everyone loved it, butsome people are ready for the nextstep if you will.

According to McKay, two of threeupcoming trips were alreadyfully booked at press time.McKayoutlined a variety of reasons thetrips appeal to seniors.

In many cases, seniors have limitedcapacity to travel. Its tougher to

get around easily, so for someoneto organize an outing like this issomething they appreciate,he said.

Century House is part of the citysparks and rec program,McKaysaid.The Squamish rafting trip isjust one example of the varietyof trips Century House hosts. ForAugust, the itinerary includes tripsto Bowen Island, Sidney,GranvilleIsland and Salt Spring.

The trips are open to both CenturyHouse members and non-membersalike, although there are discountsfor members.

The Fraser Health Authority is hopingto gather input from local seniors for anonline health and wellness survey.

The survey, titled My Health MyCommunity, collects information abouthealth status and lifestyle choices,(including smoking habits, fruit andvegetable consumption, physical activityand stress) as well as levels of communityinvolvement to establish a picture ofpopulation and community health.

My Health My Community is anopportunity for us to learn how ourlifestyles, our neighborhoods and ourenvironment all come together to affectoverall health and well-being,

said Fraser Healths Dr.Victoria Lee.Asseniors make up an increasingly largepercentage of our communities, theirinput into this survey willenable us to share themost up-to-date healthand lifestyle informationwith local governments,health-care planners andcommunity stakeholdersand help them shapepolicies, programs andcommunity services thatlead to better health.

Respondents can complete the survey ineither English or Chinese, and additionallanguages will be available at a later

date.The online component will also besupplemented with in-person surveys toensure a broad, representative range of

people is included.

Fraser Health, the UBC Facultyof Medicine and VancouverCoastal Health all helpeddevelop the survey.The ideais to better understand howhealth and well-being arelinked to where people liveand what they do.The goal isto collect responses from twoper cent of the population in

the Vancouver Coastal and

Afull room of peopleat the library recent-ly enjoyed a presen-tation of current informa-tion about local tourismby Tej Kainth, executivedirector of Tourism NewWestminster, mixed withhistorical tourism exam-ples from Archie Miller.Something that generatedmuch interest was howearly in our history tour-

ists arrived.Messrs. Milton and

Cheadle, who decidedin the 1860s to go on apleasure trip across NorthAmerica, travelled fromthe St. Lawrence River tothe Pacific Coast, and Dr.Cheadle wrote all about itin a diary. In this journalthere are some interestingdescriptions of the lowerFraser River and NewWestminster, among manyother observations.

In September of 1863they travelled down theFraser to New Westminsteron the sternwheelerReliance, Captain WilliamIrving at the helm. Theynoted the change in theriver from Yale to Hope,

the surrounding moun-tains, and later the siteof Fort Langley. Bydark we arrived at NewWestminster and wentto the Colonial. (TheColonial was a prominenthotel.)

Cheadle wrote, NewWestminster stands on ris-ing ground above the river,amidst the densest forest,which has cost fortunes toclear away. It is finelyplaced and will be a prettyplace in time. A deep bayof river forms a suitableharbour, and the town isextremely well laid out byColonel Moody. Engineerscamp about one half milealong river. Substantialbuildings. Church and bar-

rack rooms, etc. ColonelMoodys house very pret-tily situated.

On another day the pairwas off to Victoria where,at the St. George Hotel,they were introduced tothe Colonel and learned ofhis propensity to describeand promote the effortsof the Royal Engineersat some length. We read: introduced to ColonelMoody, a gentlemanly oldbird who treated me to afull and complete historyof the colony, resources,etc. lasting about one anda half hours.

A few days later they

returned to the Mainlandand enjoyed a view famil-iar to thousands eachyear who cross the Gulfof Georgia: Magnificentview of Mount Baker, largeconical mountain coveredwith snow apparentlythree quarter way down,in American territory.

There is also a delight-ful description of early citylife. While they were wait-ing in New Westminsterfor an upriver steamer,we walked over to theEngineers camp to callon Colonel Moody whomwe found in his office andjust about to walk over to

New Westminster to lookafter the sale of some townlands by auction whichwas to take place today.A glimpse of everyday lifein the 1863 town walk tovisit, to meetings, to busi-ness.

The diary includesmany such descriptionsas Milton and Cheadlecrossed Canada.

A side note to the landauction is that Miltonbought seven lots in thearea, which probablyaccounts for the streetname Milton in todaysBrow of the Hill neigh-bourhood.

Summer: warm sunshine, cold drinks,and good books an excellent combina-tion! While there are many new booksout, sometimes its nice to revisit someold favourites.

Here are some titles to pique yourinterest. Theyre not all new, but theyrecertainly worth the time.

Two of my favourite Canadianauthored novels are Wayne JohnstonsThe Colony of Unrequited Dreams and

David Adams Richards Mercy Among theChildren.

The Colony of Unrequited Dreamsis about Newfoundlands entry intoConfederation in 1949 and the role thatone man played in bringing this about.The story is engrossing, the characters arewonderfully drawn, and the good newsis, if you enjoyed meeting them, theyappear in three other books: The Navigatorof New York, The Custodian of Paradise andAWorld Elsewhere.

Mercy Among the Children won theGiller Prize in 2000. This accolade for

New Brunswick author David AdamsRichards is well deserved. The story isabsorbing and rewarding one to loseyourself in while sitting under the shadeof a tree. If I had to use only one word todescribe his writing, it would be haunt-ing. You may find yourself reading untilthe stars come out!

If haunting, soaring fiction is not yourthing, perhaps youd fancy a trip to theAntipodes? New Zealand author EmilyPerkins book The Forrests is a beautifulnovel about a family that moves from theUnited States to New Zealand, and about

how complicated loving other people canbe.

Mister Pip, by Kiwi writer Lloyd Jones,takes place in Bougainville, an islandin Papua New Guinea, during a civiluprising. The narrator, a 13-year-old girlnamed Matilda, recounts their (white)schoolteachers retelling of Dickens GreatExpectations and its affect on her percep-tion of the world around her.

While the library has lots of newreleases, there are lots of treasures in thestacks, ready for you to discover. Wherewill your next book take you?
