Our home and native landGrey skies and a few sprinkles didn’t
keep the crowds away from the city’sCanada Day festivities in Queen’s Park.
The park was filled with families enjoy-ing entertainment on the bandshell stage,visiting the petting farm, getting their facespainted with patriotic themes, makingcrafts and getting information at variousbooths. A magician kept kids entertainedwhile they waited in line for balloon fig-ures, and local politicos handed out Dare
Maple Leaf cookies and candies.MC John Ashbridge kept the onstage
festivities flowing, which included theMaple Leaf Singers, the Kokoma AfricanHeritage Dance and Drum Ensemble, theA Cappella Fellas, Giovanni Zenone andthe annual lunchbox auction. The auctionraised $550 for public art in Queen’s Park.
The Royal City capped off Canada Daywith fireworks over the Fraser River.
A forgotten piece of New Westminster’shistory will be remembered in the futureWestminster Pier Park.
Bruce Hemstock, a principal with PWLPartnership, said a structure that will rep-resent the historic Lytton Square will be thecentrepiece and heart of the WestminsterPier Park. The new structure won’t lookexactly the same as its predecessor, whichwas an enclosed building – the new struc-ture will be open, but they will share thesame shape.
The building, which housed NewWestminster’s first official public market,was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1898.
The proposed Lytton Square Marketstructure will incorporate space that hous-es washrooms, storage and a concession.
Hemstock said the structure won’t belocated at the original location of LyttonSquare, because the Fraser River stillflowed over Front Street when the buildingexisted, but will be located “just a stone’sthrow away” from its original home.
Coun. Betty McIntosh said many com-munity members aren’t aware this type ofstructure is being done as part of the park,but she believes it will be welcomed.
Project manager Dugal Purdie said thestructure will be representative of LyttonSquare.
All participants will be required to sign a waiver. Participants must be 19 years of age or older for PokerRun.

Aside from the fake lake – I think wecan all agree that the fake lake is worthevery penny – did we get any value atall from the G20 and G8 summits? Well,those who like to dress inblack masks and smash win-dows certainly achieved theirheart’s desires.
What about the world lead-ers? Well, they may have enjoyed theirphoto op against the (fake) backdrop ofthe Toronto skyline. But their agreement
is a hollow one. Reducing deficits andcutting debt may be a worthwhile goal,but the agreement is voluntary, unen-forceable and riddled with exceptions.
Worse, few questions wereraised about the human costsof the age of austerity worldleaders want to usher in.
What about the protestersoutside the Great Wall of Toronto?
Well, aside from the window-smash-ers, they also left disappointed. Many
were arrested for the nefarious crime ofBeing Near Actual Goons, some weretear gassed, others simply got damp.
Not one of them ever got within ear-shot of the world leaders, and the mediagenerally ignored their messages tofocus on the vandalism, the riot squadsand breaking news from the World Cup.
The police were not served well bythe exercise either. Depending on yourpoint of view, they either held back toomuch, allowing a good portion of Queen
Street to be smashed up, or they over-reacted, arresting more than 900 mostlyinnocent people in the largest massarrests in Canadian history.
Canada, through taxes, spent billionsto wine and dine world leaders, to but-ter up the international media and tokeep the riffraff at bay. Perhaps the nextworld summit should be held via videoconference instead. We could even sendeveryone a screen saver image of realCanadian lake.
HST will helpB.C.’s economy
July 1 is the first full day theharmonized sales tax takeseffect, and I know that most
British Columbians are con-cerned about what it will meanto them and for their familybudget.
I understand BritishColumbians from every regionhave expressed frustration andanger about how the HST wasimplemented. I know you havemany questions for our govern-ment and for me personally.
Why did we say wewere not consideringan HST before the elec-tion? What made uschange our position?Why are we bringing in the HSTwhen much of the public oppos-es it? How will the HST impactmy family?
You deserve answers to allthese questions. Although youmay not have seen much mediacoverage before last summer,combining the PST and GST tocreate a harmonized sales taxis something that has been dis-cussed publicly for many years.
Federal governments, pastand present, and business orga-nizations, large and small, acrossthe province repeatedly asked usto harmonize the PST with theGST because it eliminates unnec-essary costs, reduces administra-tion and is more transparent.
Each time we were asked, wesaid we would not consider itfor two primary reasons. First,it would eliminate B.C.’s abilityto set our own tax rate. Second,
we wanted to be able to shapeour tax regime with flexibilitythat would allow us to exemptcertain goods and services frombeing taxable.
It wasn’t until last year thatkind of flexibility was available.After the election, the minister offinance and I were informed thatthe province’s financial situationhad deteriorated significantly.
I asked officials to find away to meet our budget targetswithout cutting core services.
By late May 2009, itwas becoming clearthat after months ofdiscussion Ontariohad negotiated new
flexibility within the HST model.Through further discussionswith the federal government, welearned of additional flexibilitythat would allow provinces toset their own tax rate, insteadof adopting a national rate of 13per cent. This allowed us to setour own rate at 12 per cent, thelowest in the country.
We were also offered newflexibility that would allowus to exempt products we feltwould be important to families:children-sized clothing and foot-wear, books, motor fuel, diapers,car seats and a range of otherproducts. In addition, the federalgovernment offered $1.6 billionin transition funding.
That meant we could reducethe future debt we would passon to our children and support
OUR VIEWTHE RECORD
IN MY OPINIONGORDON CAMPBELL
City trees belong to everyoneDear Editor:Re: Tree bylaw sought, The Record, June 23
The trees belong to all of us: they are a commons.They absorb our carbon dioxide and produce ouroxygen. Each tree that’s cut down reduces thesefunctions that sustain us all. One by one, we clear-cut our urban forest and degrade our life-supportsystems.
So trees are never “private property,” even onyour own lot or development site. We need a treebylaw that reflects these realities. Particularly inview of increasing weather anomalies, no more treesmust be cut. Taking climate change into accountwas agreed as a policy by a recent Union of B.C.Municipalities convention.
In case of unavoidable necessity, the homeowner,government agency or developer must apply for
a permit, the city apply stringent assessment. Ifcutting is allowed, the proponent would have toreplace that tree, preferably on-site, with the equiva-lent in tree production relative to its age.
On the riverbanks, no trees at all must be cut.The outrage at Jardine and the dyke must not berepeated. While five younger cottonwoods wereblown down in last month’s high wind, two of theelder, stable trees, origins of the younger, remainedstanding. The developer, having long ago gottenpermission to build a house on the riverbank underthe Queensborough small lot bylaw, cut down bothmature trees. He also clear-cut the bush on theriparian edge – against Fisheries regulations – andmoved fill there from his upland property.
Fisheries and the city alerted, a stop-work orderwas issued, requiring the fill be removed. Some hasbeen removed, but most remains, extending to below

the high tide mark, covering the ripar-ian edge. What kind of house would beallowed? The cabin that was there wason piers, the high tides coming as far asthe dyke at times. Will a retaining wall beallowed on the riparian edge?
This part of the riverbank has beenclear-cut – a failure of oversight by boththe city and Fisheries that must not hap-pen again. Such disasters can be preventedwith:◗ a sustainable tree bylaw;◗ an information program by fisheries forriverbank property owners;◗ an amendment of the small lot bylawdisallowing building on the river side ofthe dyke.
We must start by reversing the permis-sion for this first house and amend thebylaw in the latest OCP revision.
Likewise, the waterfront residentialzoning on the river side of the dyke nearthe Alex Fraser Bridge must be changed togreen zone.
The riparian edge must be restored,replacement trees planted, through coop-eration of all the perpetrators of this error:developer, city and Fisheries.
The cottonwoods are flood protection;they suck up thousands of gallons of watera day. When they built the dyke, accordingto a longtime resident, they cut the cotton-
woods to do it; those ancients were six feetthrough. Why not build the dyke behindthe trees? Presumably to take as muchupland for real estate as possible.
We keep making the same mistake –working against rather than with nature.If we keep encroaching, we will lose notonly the salmon but all our life-supportsystems.

Light rail a better optionDear Editor:
This summer, interesting news will bereleased that will delight supporters of the“return of the Interurban” to the FraserValley.
TramTrain is simply a light rail vehiclethat can operate on existing railways andon its own tracks, greatly reducing “rail”transit costs while at the same time provid-ing a much larger light rail network.
As an example, for the cost of aSkyTrain Evergreen Line, we could build aVancouver to Chilliwack TramTrain and aVancouver to Maple Ridge TramTrain.
A larger “rail” network servicing moredestinations, at a cheaper cost should beTransLink’s number 1 planning goal.
Sadly, what I see from the ivory towerson Kingsway is more of the same, plansfor hugely expensive metro lines with norealistic way to fund them.

increased funding to bothhealth care and education.With those new conditionsin place, we asked our-selves if the HST wouldstrengthen the province’seconomy as we movethrough the global eco-nomic downturn.
Would the HST allowour industries and smallbusinesses to better com-pete internationally andwithin Canada? Would itcreate jobs? Would it givebusiness the ability to payhigher wages and lowerprices? Study after studyconfirmed the HST woulddo all those things.
World–renownedeconomist Jack Mintz fromthe University of Calgaryfound that moving to anHST will create more than110,000 jobs, attract over$11 billion in new invest-ment, increase wages andlower prices.
Those working in smallbusiness, forestry, min-ing, energy, agriculture,
retail, transportation andconstruction will realizeimmediate and direct ben-efits.
For the rest of us, thestronger economy willmean more job opportuni-ties, stronger communi-ties and more revenuesto support critical publicservices.
The HST, combinedwith our other tax reduc-tions, will soon makeBritish Columbia one ofthe most attractive placesto invest and do businessanywhere in the world. Iknow many people feellike they are paying moreand getting less. That’swhy over the last nineyears our government hasacted to leave more of peo-ple’s hard-earned wages intheir pockets.
We’ve cut income taxesby at least 37 per cent forindividuals since 2001, andBritish Columbians nowpay the lowest personalincome taxes in the coun-try if you earn less than
$118,000. The after–taxsize of an average BritishColumbian’s paychequetoday is considerablyhigher than it was in 2001.An individual earning$50,000 a year pays $2,012less in provincial incometaxes today. That’s morethan $2,000 for individualsto save or spend as theychoose.
Cutting taxes hashelped our economy staystrong enough that we’vebeen able to make recordinvestments into healthcare and education.
The HST has not beengood short-term politics.But, in the end, everyonehas to decide whetherthey are going to do whatis right or what is easy. Ibelieve the HST is the rightthing for our province’seconomy and for our chil-dren’s future.

as such,” he said. “This is a wood-framestructure that is to represent the old build-ing. It doesn’t have walls, it doesn’t have aroof, it doesn’t have windows.”
Purdie said the structure sits over thearea that will house the washrooms andconcession, which will be set into theembankment. Some portions of the struc-ture will be covered in a tempered glass,but those locations are yet to be deter-mined.
On June 28, city council receivedupdated artist’s renderings of the futureWestminster Pier Park, which shows theLytton Square structure located next to thepark’s “festival lawn,” an area for peopleto gather.
The artist’s renderings also show theportion of park that will be developed fur-ther in the future, as funding allows. Thatspace, located east of the festival lawnand Lytton Square features, will be usablespace but won’t be developed to its finalquality at this time.
“It’s a hard surface where people cangather, ride bicycles. What we are notdoing at this stage is programming it,”Purdie said.
“It’s really an opportunity to do justabout anything that people want, whetherit is for listening to music, playing basket-ball, flying airplanes.”
In June, the City of New Westminsterlearned it had received an extension on
the deadline for expenditure of its $16.6-million Building Canada Fund grant forconstruction of Westminster Pier Park.The extension gives the city until March2012 to complete construction of the newwaterfront park.
At the time of the announcement,Purdie said the extended timeline couldhelp the city complete more of the park,by reducing some costs.
“It’s too early to say on that front,” hesaid. “We are still looking at costs and try-ing to assess that.”
Purdie said the project is proceedingwith the “base plan,” and any decisionsabout expanding the scope of the parkbecause of savings gained will be made ata later date.
The City of New Westminster pur-chased the brownfield site on the water-front in March 2009 for $8 million.
The city, province and federal govern-ments have each contributed $8.3 milliontoward park construction.
Coun. Bill Harper recently questionedwhether the city is able to spend its moneyin the final stages of the project and spendthe provincial and federal contributionsfirst.
“The federal and provincial gov-ernments are saying no,” said GaryHolowatiuk, the city’s director of financeand legislative services. “They will onlyreimburse us if we prove we have spentour money.”

New Westminster policeare asking for the pub-lic’s assistance in locatingBongani Nyoni, 38, whohas been charged withthree counts of aggravatedsexual assault after hav-ing sex with three womendespite knowing he wasHIV-positive.
Crown counsel hasissued a Canada-wide war-rant for Nyoni’s arrest, aspolice believe he may havefled to eastern Canada.
The offences he ischarged with date back toMay 2006, and police areconcerned Nyoni may havesex with more women with-out disclosing his medical
condition.“Investigators are seek-
ing any information fromthe public that could
assist them in determiningNyoni’s location,” said Sgt.Gary Weishaar.
Police do not have a
photo of the suspect.Anyone with informa-
tion can call 604-525-5411and quote file 2009-22460.
A new Ipsos Reid pollhas found that the vastmajority of Royal City resi-dents are satisfied with thequality of life in the city.
The 2010 city satisfac-tion study found that 99per cent of respondentsrated the quality of life inNew Westminster as good,which includes 37 per cent“very good” and 62 per cent“good.” That’s an improve-ment from the 95 per centrating in 2008 and the 97per cent rating in 2007.
“It shows a report cardfor us,” said Mayor WayneWright. “The report cardsays we have passinggrades, and maybe we’llmake the honour roll.”
Wright was pleased tohear that most residentsbelieve they have a goodquality of life in NewWestminster.
“It’s humbling,” he said.“I think our staff is doing aterrific job. I think our city
is moving forward.”The top issues for resi-
dents are: transportation– 25 per cent; education– 22 per cent; crime – 15 percent; growth – 11 per cent;taxation/municipal gov-ernment spending – nineper cent; municipal govern-ment services – seven percent; social – six per cent;parks, recreation and cul-ture – six per cent; healthcare – five per cent; econo-my – four per cent; environ-ment – four per cent.
Wright wasn’t surprisedto see that transportationremained the top issue forresidents, noting that NewWestminster is in the cen-tre of the region, home toseveral SkyTrain stations,and near bridges and majortransportation routes.Transportation droppedfrom 28 per cent in 2008 to25 per cent this year.
Education, cited as atop issue by four per centof respondents in 2008,jumped to 22 per cent in2010.
Wright said that’s a con-cern being felt in variouscommunities because ofcutbacks in schools. Locally,he said it likely reflects con-cerns about theneed for a newhigh school.
“To be honest,we are in the pro-cess now,” he said.“We have beenmeeting weeklyon it. I think weare going to have abreakthrough.”
Crime droppedas a top issue from28 per cent in 2008to 15 percent in 2010. Wrightsaid that’s consistent with adrop in crime and improve-ments made to some vacantor derelict sites.
“Good places make niceplaces for everybody,” hesaid. “Undesirables don’twant to be there.”
On the issue of cityfinances and taxes, Wrightsaid there are some peoplewith strong opinions in thecommunity who question
the money being spent onproject such as retention ofthe Centre Block at the for-mer Victoria Hill site andWestminster Pier Park.
One area wherethe city saw adrop in supportwas the ques-tion pertaining tovalue for taxes.While 87 per centof the people sur-veyed in 2008 feltthey were gettinga good value andprograms andservices from thecity for their tax
dollars, that decreased to 81per cent in 2010.
Ipsos Reid also surveyed300 people about their sup-port for commercial adver-tising billboards, explainingthat the city is examiningopportunities for creatingnew revenue streams to helppay for municipal services.Sixty-two per cent supportbillboard advertising, while36 per cent oppose, and twoper cent don’t know.
“We have got severalplaces in the city that aren’tin the way of anybody.They can give us revenuefor quite some time that wecan put toward the park orsome other place,” Wrightsaid about locations nearbridges and the highway.“It’s not in neighbourhoods.They are not intrusive.”
Ipsos Reid asked residentwhy they think the qualityof life has improved.
These were some of thetop responses: good roads/infrastructure (15 per cent);good amenities and services(15 per cent); growth/devel-opment (11 per cent); cleanmunicipality (six per cent);and good public transporta-
tion (five per cent).On the flip side, Ipsos
Reid asked residents whythey feel their quality oflife has worsened, andthese were some of the topresponses: lack of services(16 per cent); growth (14per cent); too much traffic(13 per cent); crime (10 percent); poor government (10per cent); municipal plan-ning (10 per cent); hightaxes (eight per cent); home-lessness (eight per cent).
“It’s a nice mix that youhave to have,” Wright saidabout development in thecity. “We do not want acommunity that turns into ahodgepodge. We are work-ing to a plan.”

Members of the New WestminsterCommunity Gardening Society are start-ing to see the fruits of their labour.
A group of local residents formed thesociety to support the development andoperation of community gardens in NewWestminster. They’re now celebrating thecompletion of Phase 1 of the communitygarden at St. Mary the Virgin AnglicanChurch in Sapperton.
“It’s been going very well,” said DavidMaidman, a member of the society. “Wecame to an agreement with the church.We started construction in May. Thingsare coming up great. The plants are doingvery well.”
A variety of vegetables are now grow-ing in the garden that’s on the hill over-looking the Fraser River.
“There is 15 plots,” Maidman said. “Weare hoping to expand next year, put moreplants in, put in some fruit trees.”
The St. Mary the Virgin community gar-den is a joint project of the church and theNew Westminster Community Gardening
Society.“We are working on another one in coop-
eration with the City of New Westminsterover at Simcoe Park,” Maidman said. “It’s alittle more temporary than Mary Mount.”
At the Sapperton site, communitymembers have claimed all of the availableplots.
“What we are hoping to do is create ademand and have a waiting list and haveto meet that,” Maidman said. “Ideally wewould like to see a community gardenin each of the four quadrants of NewWestminster.”
Maidman said people will have to relymore on homegrown products more and
more because of food security issues.“I have a plot. We have tomatoes, beets,
strawberries, peas, beans, peppers andmarigolds,” he said.
“I have had some fresh strawberries.Once you have eaten a locally gownstrawberry, it is very hard to go back toCalifornia-grown.”
There are manydiverse aspects tothe character of a
community, and arts andculture is usually one ofthe most important. NewWestminster’s characterhas been moulded by botharts and culture from thefirst days of the city’s exis-tence to the present.
A few weeks ago, weled a walking tour of thedowntown area of thecity, focusing on a themefully interconnected withthe history of arts andculture – “theatres andperformance.” This wasgreat fun as we looked atsites of opera houses, earlytheatres and venues forpresentations, linked tight-ly to stories of the enter-tainments that thrilled,charmed and excited theiraudiences.
Some of the names wetouched upon includedBurr, Rushton, Kerr,Tidy, Scott, Herring andMandrake – all people
who have places in thelocal heritage of arts,culture and the world ofthe theatre and perfor-mance, and there are manymore to be noted in thestory of the Royal City.Some are prominent andwell-known, others moreprivate and limited in rec-ognition, but the historicallist of those in the worldof New Westminster’s artsand culture is really quiteimpressive.
The names just notedrelate to movies, theatres,vaudeville, opera, saloons,travelling shows, concerts,entertainers and magic.Many other names have
links to additional topics.These include Peebles withmusic and opera; Hill withwater colour painting;Bodington with Victorianwriting; Peele with churchmusic; Morey with musi-cal education; Leslie withmusical composition;Okamura and Stride withphotography; Herringwith historical writing;Legge with the stage anddance; and Bushby withviolin and vocals.
You will likely recog-nize a few of the namesbut perhaps not others.Depending on your age,the name Raymond Burrwill bring an immediate
reaction. To many folks hereally was Perry Mason ofTV fame, and if you readthe Erle Stanley Gardnernovels, the image in yourmind is probably that ofRaymond Burr. His gravein Fraser Cemetery is argu-ably the one marker weare asked about the most.
If you are deeply inter-ested in our local history,then Frances Herring isa name you will know.Among many thingsshe did, Frances was anauthor whose historicalworks, written long ago,are frequently sought outfor the colourful scenariosshe portrayed. Original
copies of her books arequite valuable. AliceBodington, the wife of adoctor at the asylum inNew Westminster, wasvery prominent in her ownright as an author of scien-tific works, and her deathin 1897 was strongly notedby her Victorian counter-parts.
All of these folks andmany others, will be intro-duced on a tour of FraserCemetery on Sunday, July11, starting at 3 p.m. nearthe cemetery office at 100Richmond St. Arts andculture will be the theme,and you’ll be fascinated bysome of the stories.

Larry Wright/THE RECORD
Tier II playergets a chanceto play in cup
Burnaby’s MalcolmFreeman is in some elitecompany.
The Moscrop Panthershigh school football play-er was one of just threerunning backs named toB.C.’s provincial team forthe 2010 Football CanadaCup at Acadia Universityin Wolfville, Nova ScotiaJuly 10 to 17.
F r e e m a n ,who playedwith Moscropin the Tier IIvarsity divi-sion, joins AAAvarsity provin-cial offensiveplayer of theyear StephenSpagnuolo ofBurnaby on the40-player B.C.roster.
S p a g n u o l oled the prov-ince, rushingfor 2,537 yardsand 32 touch-downs with the NotreDame Jugglers last year.Also earning a spot in theB.C. backfield was AAMt. Douglas running backTerrell Davis.
At times, Freeman hadfelt invisible playing in theoften-overlooked in theTier II league that does notkeep up-to-date statistics.
“I felt like no one evergave us a look,” he said.“I considered myself good,but I never thought ofmyself in that level.”
The 6-0, 200-pound run-ning back had a season-best 300-plus yards rush-
ing and four touchdownsin a victory over Westsydelast season.
But he made the best ofan opportunity at the recentSenior Bowl, earning MVPrunning back honours atthe spring break camp.
Freeman is hoping to geta season of junior footballwith the Big Kahuna Ramsbefore playing next seasonat the collegiate level in theUnited States.
“He’s ahard-workingkid and hasstarted doingwhat is neces-sary. He’s got-ten a bit fasterand leaner. Hisbiggest concernis getting intoa (junior) pro-gram wherehe can play,”Moscrop headcoach CraigBymoen said.
Two otherJugglers madethe elite pro-vincial squad,
wide receiver AnthonyBelmonte and provincialteam offensive linemanRoberto Perizzolo.
Provincial high schoolAAA linebacker CaseyChin of New Westminsterwas also named to the pro-vincial Canada Cup team.
Chin was second inoverall tackles in B.C. thisseason, with 110 individualstops.
Under-18-aged teamsfrom B.C., Alberta,Saskatchewan, Manitoba,Ontario East and West,Quebec and Nova Scotiawill be taking part.
“I felt like noone ever gaveus a look. I con-sidered myselfgood, but Inever thought ofmyself in thatlevel.”
Passing Challenge to stay small and in New WestminsterThe days of the 32-team 7-on-
7 Passing Challenge are ancienthistory, said New WestminsterHyacks head coach Farhan Lalji.
For the second summer in arow, the offensive football skellycompetition at Mercer Stadiumplayed host to just 10 high schoolprograms, including just onefrom south of the border.
“The days of 32 teams and 16American schools are over,” saidLalji after the annual Big Kahuna-sponsored event on Sunday.
Kelowna Secondary, behindthe MVP lead of quaterbackTaylor Loffler, won this year’sevent with a 45-36 victory overNanaimo’s Ballenas Whalers.
Cedar Park Christian fromBothell, Washington placed thirdoverall.
The Hyacks finished sixth, andW.J. Mouat, which prides itselfon its traditional passing game,placed one spot off the bottom ofthe pack.
Two years ago, after passportrestrictions were put in place atthe U.S./Canada border, the num-ber of American schools coming
north slowed to a dribble.But Lalji said the lack of U.S.
content is more to do with thenumber of similar tournamentsthat have since sprung up inWashington State.
“You can’t go any weekendin Washington without a tourna-ment or camp held somewhere inthe Seattle area. It’s not like theold days,” he said.
But Lalji is not complaining.In fact, he prefers the smaller
venue and says the number ofteams is easier on all the volun-teers.
Next week, the Hyacks will
make their annual trek to Oregonwith only the proof of citizenshipnecessary for a team travelling tothe States on a school-sponsoredouting.
The goal for New Westminsterat this summer’s team camp is toget better as a whole unit, hesaid.
After losing such a large cropof seniors to graduation last sea-son, this year’s Hyacks are strug-gling, not with a lack of numbers,but with a lack of players withvarsity experience.
That can all be changed forNew Westminster’s first-year
players getting an eye-openinglook at how top U.S. programsprepare themselves for the startof the playing season.
“The goal for us is to get bet-ter. The biggest challenge for us isto get a functional scout (practice)team,” Lalji added. “One of thehistorical traits of our program iswe are a really fast starter. That’sa team ready to play. Playinggood teams every day will makeour team a lot better. We needteam camp more this year thanwe ever have.”

Summer Job Search Myths – Part 2This article continues from last week’s, whenI began debunking summer job search myths.If you are unemployed or looking for new orbetter opportunities, read the myths belowbefore you decide to take the summer off!MYTH #4: Even if a job opening exists in a
company, hiring managers are away or won’t have time tomeet with you. Some hiring managers will be working – andhiring – during the summer and you may benefit from less jobcompetition if you are also available.MYTH #5: You have a better chance if you wait until the fall.Many companies won’t want to wait that long. For example,if they need staff in place for the upcoming fall season, theywill often hire now. Also, many companies hire extra staff tocover staff holidays. Even if you are only hired for part-time ortemporary hours, it’s a great opportunity to get your foot in thedoor and demonstrate your abilities while you fill in! That couldmake you the best hiring option the next time a full-time positionbecomes available.So take time off if you really need a good rest this summer.However, if you are currently unemployed or need a job changeyou shouldn’t let the myths of the summer job search stopyou!Do you want to discover your career passion this summer?Call 604-681-2774 and ask about the Transitions Program,our government funded (no fee) three-week career explorationprogram available to anyone who is unemployed or underemployed and eligible to work in Canada.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections July 4 - 10★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent continueson rest, hibernation, nutrition, children, Mother Nature,gardening, property and residence, and on endingsome matters and relationships, and nurturing others,especially Sunday/Monday and Saturday. Chuckthe unworkable or stale. We all start projects andrelationships that don’t work. Your energy’s goodSunday/Monday. Chase money, earnings, buy/sellMonday eve to Wednesday. Avoid illusion. Casualfriends, siblings, trips, communications go splendidlyThursday/Friday – but question yourself if you startfeeling sweet romantic vibes. Saturday: one goes,another comes.
Taurus April 20-May 20: Soon – next week – you’regoing to enjoy some really solid advance in love, withcreative or pleasure projects, and with relationshipsgenerally. So in these specific areas, be content tomaintain a holding pattern this week. In a broaderview, communication, travel and friendly relationshipsprogress in a good way this week – in fact, in onecase, this might be your last chance for a while tocontact someone. Do so. Lie low, rest Sunday/Monday.Your energy and charisma surge nicely Mondaynight through Wednesday. Chase money, or study aninventive investment, Thursday/Friday.
Gemini May 21-June 20: Chase money, buy/sell,increase your earnings, seek a pay raise, etc. Onemoney project – and one relationship – iswinding down.(Not a big deal.) An atmosphere of friction continues inthe home. If you live alone, watch your telephone voiceat home. Continue to study good and workable plans/wishes involving real estate, construction, gardening,or similar matters. Next week through early August luckenters, perhaps bringing the opportunity to step towardthose goals. However, DON’T move into a new home,nor buy a family home, before July 30: you wouldexperience much friction there.
Cancer June 21-July 22: Your energy, charismaand effectiveness ride high! Pursue career, prestigeor business objectives Sunday/Monday. Monday nightthrough Wednesday, happiness, optimism, popularity,social delights and flirtations visit! You might meet a“destined friend” this week or next,who could becomea mate. Avoid illusion wafted by a suave, slinky orglamorous person Thursday/Friday – a talkative,nervous, or “precise” type is true blue, honest andhelpful. A significant sexual or financial decision mightbe involved. Saturday has an early problem, thensuccess, energy and great money/career ideas!
Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Continue to lie low, observe,plan, replenish your energy reserves. Deal withgovernment agencies, charities, institutions and yourown head office. Sunday/Monday bring a mellow,understanding mood. Be ambitious Monday night toWednesday — the only thing you have to avoid is asmattering of illusion or wishful thinking Wednesdayp.m. (Anxiety and wishing are two sides of the sameurge.) The same advice holds, more so, Thursday,when you might dream unrealistically about someone,and they about you. Otherwise, Thursday/Fridayare happy, upbeat! Retreat Saturday, especially thismorning.
Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your popularity remainshigh – but you might almost defeat it by frowning,being attracted to the secretive, the sexual over thefriendly. Best approach: dig deeply and definitely intoa financial step, a lifestyle-changing project, or a bidfor intimacy; but step out of this, quickly and firmly, togreet your friends, make friends, enjoy entertainment,etc. For three weeks, keep these two good, luckysides of your life separate. Pursue the “deep” sideSunday/Monday, Tuesday night, and Saturday p.m.Sweet wisdom, gentle love Tuesday/Wednesday. Beambitious, social, Thursday/Friday.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Be ambitious – work witha new project, idea or impulse, rather than anythingthat emerged over the last two weeks. (A projector goal that existed before August last year is alsoviable – a major interruption has hindered this goal.This obstacle is slowly ending, though it might lingerto March 2011.) Talk about a career goal: a Gemini,an Aries understand. This week’s exciting, sexual,whispers of love – but remain cautious about newromances, relationships, as “marriage” is not part (ora good part) of any new link. Invest Tuesday. Brightfriend, bright love Friday!
Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: This week containsopposition and opportunity. Sunday/Monday are forchores, drudgery – get it over with. Exciting meetingsarrive Monday night to Wednesday: be diplomatic,eager, refuse to fight. Illusion (or anxiety) about thefirmness of the ground you stand on is your onlyAchilles heel mid-week, especially Wednesday andThursday. If you’re realistic about this, you can land adeal, grab an opportunity, even trip the love fantastic!Thursday/Friday steer you into depths (finances, sex,health, etc.): a Gemini or Virgo proves a great “guide”here. Saturday, wait for p.m. happiness.
Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Sunday/Monday areromantic – but friction or ambition might make thedream better than the reality. Still, enjoy yourself.Tackle chores Monday night toWednesday. It’s a goodtime to look for work if you’re unemployed. Excitingmeetings and partnership opportunities couldarise Thursday/Friday. A showy but elusive personcould steer you wrong, while a precise or talkativeindividual will befriend you. Be careful Saturdaymorning: everything’s at the wrong angle. This p.m.,the main trend of this week succeeds: mystery,finances, investigation, intimacy, commitment– make one!
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Relationships remainmost important. Some are approaching the end ofa phase, particularly those involving large money orintimacy – there will be a new phase soon. It’s likethe dip in a wave. During this dip the best you’ll get isdeception. So let those two matters (sex, money) take abreather – next Monday (July 12) onward, they’ll surgeagain, luckily! Sunday/Monday emphasize home, family,endings, peace. Monday night through Wednesdaytriggers romance, beauty, pleasure, creative urges.Tackle chores Thursday/Friday – success very likely. Lielow Saturday morning; seek others this p.m.
Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18:Work, health and drudgery– these come every July, Aquarius, so just plug away.Sunday/Monday feature details, paperwork, errands,travel, communications and friendly meetings. Take arest, or tackle home-based chores Tuesday/Wednesday.Tuesday’s ideas or urges involving investments, debtreduction, intimacy or lifestyle changes are quiteworkable. Romance beckons Thursday/Friday – so dopleasure, beauty, creative and gambling urges. Butin these, deception lurks Thursday (you could be thedeceiver) – Friday, clarity and a talkative person bringbrightness! Caution Saturday morn.
Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Love, romance, beauty,pleasure,vacation,charming kids,creative and gamblingurges all flow through you now! Married or single, you’redealing with someone June/July (hopefully your mate!)who’s feisty,determined,who exudes sexual energy.Thislink will move from talkative to affectionate, nervous tosweet, soon. In business, a money-earning partnershipis possible. In any case, be diplomatic but seductive.Illusion haunts your work sphere, so buy no machinery,and no employment “promises.” Chase money Sunday/Monday. Home, rest, Thursday/Friday. Everything in thefirst sentence July 10!
