EDUCATION

Politics or fiscal folly?

The sun came out to shine on the annual Hats Off Day in the Heights on Saturday.

The popular event attracts thousands of visitors to North Burnaby’s main strip and promises a little something for everyone.

“What makes Hats Of Day so special is all of the little things you find from end to end,” said Isabel Kolic, director of the Heights Merchants Association. “You can’t walk more than one metre without stumbling across entertainment or something delicious to eat, merchants giving out prizes or something for the kids.”

The turnout at this year’s Hats Off Day may have been the highest yet, Kolic said.

Vancouver school district’s clash with govt. appointee raises concerns in Burnaby Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby school board chair Diana Mumford is raising concerns about the comptroller general’s report on the Vancouver school board, a report alleging trustees are to blame for the district’s multimillion dollar deficit.

With a $16.32 million budget shortfall on hand, the Vancouver school board has been condemning the provincial government for under funding education while considering cuts to balance its budget. The Education Ministry asked comptroller general Cheryl Wenezenki-Yolland to investigate the board’s financial dealings and report back.

Her report, released June 4, criticizes the board for focusing too much on political advocacy rather than managing its own affairs.

“The current board of trustees has not demonstrated they have the management capacity to effectively govern the Vancouver school board or fulfill all of their accountabilities and duties of the (School) Act,” Wenezenki-Yolland wrote in the report. “This is evidenced by the quality of board discussions, their focus on short-term decisions

DEER LAKE PARK SPIFFED UP FOR FESTIVAL SEASON

ELECTRONIC ARTS HOCKEY

New Wii game is ‘close to the real thing’ Andrew Fleming staff reporter

Armchair athletes who’ve ever imagined what it must be like to skate and stickhandle like Wayne Gretzky will soon have the chance to find out. Sort of.

Burnaby game-designing company Electronic Arts announced last week they are developing their first ever NHL hockey title for the Nintendo Wii console, NHL Slapshot, and that the Great One himself will grace the cover.

“EA Sports has been making great hockey games in Canada for 20 years now, and the team behind the game is really passionate about the sport,” said Gretzky in a prepared statement. “Being on the cover of the new Wii version of the game is exciting and is probably going to make me a bit cooler in the eyes of my kids.”

Instead of simply pressing buttons to simulate playing actual hockey, the new game will introduce an innovative 53-centimetre, motion sensing hockey stick that players can snap together and house the Wii Remote controller to allow them to shoot and pass (not to mention spear and cross-check) just like the pros.

“Making our games as close to the real thing has always been our focus,” said EA Sports creative director David Littman, who knows a thing or two about pro hockey after briefly playing between the pipes in the NHL. “Now we are giving players an actual plastic hockey stick that the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers plug into. Players can then use the new stick to do all the moves in the game.”

NHL Slapshot will also allow players to progress from “Peewees to Pros” by providing the option of stepping into the skates of a pre-pubescent Gretzky (or Crosby, Luongo, etc.) and watching them grow up and acquire new skills as they progress on their way to the big leagues.

The new game is expected to hit shelves by early September. While it won’t offer an online mode, players can update their rosters with a free download and up to four players will be able to hit the ice in front of the same TV.

New digs at Deer Lake: Denis Nokony, assistant director of cultural services, and Geraldine Parent, art services manager, are pleased with renovations at Deer Lake Park.

Sculpture, lights all part of it Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Contractors are working quickly to complete the majority of the Deer Lake Park renovation project in time for this summer’s festival season and, so far, everything is on schedule.

Most of the work for phase two of the project should be completed by July 11, in time for the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s Symphony in the Park concert, according to Geraldine Parent, art services manager for the city.

Event organizers are expecting approximately 10,000 to 12,000 people to attend the free concert, Parent said.

The grass has been planted, and electrical work is being completed, placing electrical outlets throughout the park to help with lighting and electricity for events.

The only thing interfering with the work at Deer Lake Park is the weather, Parent said.

“We’ve had a sloppy May,” she said.

“But it (the renovation) has been relatively smooth.”

All of the people working on the project, including city staff and contractors,

Budgets: Is report a way for govt. to avoid looking at provincial funding? continued from page 1

at the expense of long-term sustainability, the lack of strategic and longterm plans and an unbalanced focus on advocacy versus financial stewardship, delaying decisions that would see the effective use of existing or available resources.”

The Burnaby school board has long criticized the provincial government for not giving districts enough money to do their jobs. While the Vancouver district has a budget of about $500 million and a $16.32 million deficit, Burnaby’s budget is about $200 million and its deficit is now $5.2 million. By law, school districts cannot carry deficits; they must make cuts to balance the budget if they are short money.

As for the under funding issue, Mumford pointed to a line in Wenezenki-Yolland’s report stating the structure of the provincial funding model for education was specifically

excluded from the review.

“Right from the get-go, they were never looking at the funding piece of it, what districts were getting. They were only judging how districts used it,” she said.

Although Mumford didn’t want to pass judgment on Vancouver’s finances, she views the report as a way for the government to blame Vancouver’s woes on financial mismanagement rather than lack of government funding.

“I don’t agree with that. I think it’s politics. I think it’s political on both sides of the spectrum,” she said. “Both sides are frustrated by it all, but I don’t believe we are over funded in our district or funded for the full needs we have.”

Mumford also disagreed with one of the report’s suggestions that Vancouver could make more money by charging non-profit groups higher rental fees for school facilities.

She also pointed out that

Comfort All Summer Long

Wenezenki-Yolland works for the Finance Ministry, not “an independent body in any way, shape or form.”

Local NDP MLA Kathy Corrigan chaired the Burnaby board before she entered provincial politics.

Corrigan also declined to comment on Vancouver’s financial dealings, saying she wasn’t sure if there are savings to be found, but she said WenezenkiYolland is being portrayed as an independent watchdog and it’s important to remember she’s a government employee.

“I think it would be nice if the auditor general could take a look at it,” Corrigan said. She also echoed Mumford’s comment that WenezenkiYolland did not look at the government funding in her report.

“I know from my years on the Burnaby school board that services were very effectively and efficiently delivered,” she said, adding districts across B.C. are having financial problems.

Deer Lake Park: Outdoor venue gets new lights continued from page 3

Nokony said.

Burnaby council recently approved plans to hold up to 10 outdoor concerts annually at Deer Lake Park, on the festival lawn, between May 1 and Sept. 10.

Nokony added that Deer Lake Park is a perfect fit for concerts, as it is a natural amphitheatre.

He hopes to work with promoter Live Nation, which has held popular ticketed concerts there in

the past, to produce future concerts.

“We appreciate their involvement in our celebrations.”

The majority of the renovations should be completed well in advance of this

Some residents irate after having to haul cans around Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Walter Koblbauer, who lives in the 4500-block of Rumble Street, is upset that the new garbage pickup system requires area residents to lug their trash up a flight of stairs to street level.

But that may change once the city’s engineering department inspects the neighbourhood to see if another solution is possible.

“I’ve asked people, and nobody wants it on Rumble,” Koblbauer said, adding he had collected 10 signatures from neighbours, which he sent with a letter to the mayor and city council last week.

The laneway behind the houses is too narrow for the new garbage trucks, and the city has asked residents to place garbage totes in front of their homes for pick up.

The problem, Koblbauer said, is that the elevation difference between the lane and street level is between five to seven feet.

This means residents have to carry the toters up stairs and pathways.

“We want the city to take care of the problem, Koblbauer said.

There hasn’t been a problem with garbage pickup before this, said Koblbauer, who has lived on Rumble Street since 1979.

He added that the 4600, 4700 and 4800-blocks of Rumble Street have lanes that are the same width as the lane behind the 4500blockbut residents there have not had to take their trash to street level.

The city is reevaluating the situation, according to Lambert Chu, director of

Some might say that Burnaby is well past the “smaller community” designation and given the amounts spent in the city – roughly half a million dollars for both civic parties and independents – we might just be getting into the big leagues.

But we agree with Corrigan. It’s not the amounts that matter, it’s being able to follow the money.

The problem is that if you have no

limits on local election campaign spending – you’d better be very transparent and prompt with filing campaign disclosures.

Burnaby, alas, was one of the few municipalities that still required journalists to go down to city hall and pore over documents (no copying allowed) to find out who spent what during the last campaign.

We hope that will change for the next election.

Because, if it doesn’t, well, actions speak much louder than words.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Ball hockey tourney earns kudos

Dear Editor:

Re: Ball hockey plays on in city, Burnaby NOW, June 5.

Thank you for your recent article regarding this event in the Burnaby NOW. My 10-year-old son participated in this tournament for the first time.

First of all, the venue was terrific. We live close to Metropolis, so we were able to walk. The event was extremely well organized. All the volunteers and people involved in this event were so helpful and evidently enthusiastic about ball hockey. It was nice to see so many families and youth out enjoying a sport that is becoming increasingly popular.

My son enjoyed the experience tremendously.

HST will hurt businesses continued from page 6

more than $16 billion), how are they going to recoup the seven per cent PST funding that supposedly helped to finance our social services, including education and health services.

The provincial government has already admitted that the HST will go to Ottawa and that provincially it will be revenue neutral. With the loss of that seven per cent tax, how does the government plan to finance its obligations to the people in B.C.?

I also wonder why they have failed to advise us that Alberta and Manitoba refused it entirely (Saskatchewan kicked it out after a year-and-a-half because of the economic disaster it caused) and that in the Atlantic provinces that employed it, the economy is worse than ever and the HST keeps going up. And look at the economic mess in Europe where the VAT (our HST) has been employed for years, also constantly going up.

Why does the Campbell government insist it will be good for business? It never has been, and for many small businesses, it will be the death knell. I know, because I am one of them, and no rebate will be coming back to me in order to pass that along to my customers.

Leakage just the tip of an underground iceberg?

Dear Editor: I live two blocks from the Chevron oil storage tanks and have been following developments respecting their reported oil leak with interest.

I understand that a small amount is involved, less than 50 litres, and that the oil is percolating out of the ground. I also understand that they have so far been unable to find the source of the contamination.

I have toured the refinery twice and often walk in the park and on the beach nearby. My concern is the fear that large amounts of contaminants have leaked into the environment during the 75 years since the refinery started operating. I suspect that the small spill that has been reported is the very smallest tip of the iceberg and that the entire refinery site is contaminated.

I think there needs to be a government investigation to determine the scope of the problem, whether there is any risk to human health and what action should be taken to deal with the problem. The appropriate authority to carry out such an inquiry would be a panel of experts appointed by the provincial Ministry of the Environment.

Energy: Policy will have big impact continued from page 6

“clean” power and export it for profit outside the province.

Critics claim this model will have an impact on B.C. Hydro’s rates, boosting them upward. Then there’s the argument about the inevitable environmental footprint left by energy projects, which will be significant no matter what the size of the facility.

Adding spice to this debate is the role of First Nations bands, some of which are business partners of private energy companies because they see these projects as helping to lift their members out of poverty.

It’s hard to predict how all this is going to go. For example, for all the claims

that the B.C. Liberals have some sort of secret plan to sell our rivers to private interests, there is evidence that the relationship between the government and independent power producers may be fracturing, at least a little.

A number of companies that failed to win approval from B.C. Hydro’s clean power call are upset about what they consider to be an unclear bidding process.

And one company, along with the First Nations band that is involved in its proposed power project, has even filed a lawsuit against the government because Environment Minister Barry Penner recently told the legislature he had no

intention of altering provincial park boundaries to accommodate the project, even though the company claims the government had earlier agreed to do precisely that.

Sure, the HST continues to be a fevered topic of debate and denunciation.

And it’s not like the tax will be out of the headlines anytime soon.

But the energy debate is just getting started. It may be over for now inside the legislature, but make no mistake: Energy policy, not taxes, is going to have a bigger and longer lasting impact on what our politicians are arguing about the most.

Garbage: New trucks too big for some back lanes in city continued from page 5

“Sometimes it’s impossible for the (new) trucks to get through,” he explained.

But he hopes to come up with a solution for the 4500block.

One possibility is changing the direction from which the trucks access the lane, Chu said.

But other than complaints regarding the lane behind Rumble Street, and occasional calls when garbage has not been picked up because toters have been placed too closely together, the new system has garnered positive feedback, he said.

The injury rate to drivers and employees is down significantly, with the new mechanical arm to empty the toters, Chu added.

Residents who have complained about a missed pickup are informed that toters have to be kept one metre apart, with one metre of space on each side, for the mechanical arm to lift the containers. A special pick up is then scheduled for the resident, Chu said.

There have also been complaints about the yard waste toters, which do not always empty properly when packed tightly, he said. Residents should try to avoid pressing and packing wet grass tightly into the toters, and drivers are now using the arm to shake the containers back and forth,

to stop waste from being left inside, Chu added.

But garbage toters should be a little lighter this week as residents can now recycle food scraps in the yard waste bins provided by the city.

The food waste collection program for single and duplex homes started on Monday, according to Chu. All food scraps, including bones, can be placed in the yard waste toters. Waste from the toters will be picked up on a weekly basis, along with trash pickups.

Residents should not dispose of food waste in plastic bags.

The City of Burnaby suggests using a plastic pail, such as an ice cream bucket, to collect the scraps and recommends residents line the

pail with newspaper first.

Paper bags can also be used to hold scraps. Food waste, such as paper towels and pizza boxes, can also be placed in the yard waste containers.

The city’s waste and recycling collection services 35,000 single- and two-family households in Burnaby, according to Chu’s 2009 year in review report on collection services.

The city estimates that about 50 per cent of residential garbage is actually food waste.

Ex-judge brokers agreement ment to release cabinet documents she said she needed to complete an audit of a child welfare program.

But that was only part of the battle.

The B.C. government had also introduced legislation that would have restricted Turpel-Lafond’s access to cabinet documents retroactively by changing the Representative for Children and Youth Act, the law outlining the representative’s role. The government’s position was that cabinet documents are confidential.

Hughes, a retired judge, stepped in to mediate between the two parties. It was Hughes’s 2006 report, criticizing B.C.’s child welfare system, that originally pressured the provincial government to create the representative’s role.

Deal reached between government and watchdog on access to documents Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The watchdog for children and youth and the provincial government have come to terms over a dispute about access to cabinet documents, thanks to the help of mediator Ted Hughes.

Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond is B.C.’s representative for children and youth, a role set up to oversee the province’s child welfare system.

On May 14, she won a court case that forced the provincial govern-

In a statement released May 27, Hughes announced that the process had worked.

“I am pleased to report that the mediation process has resulted in a successful resolution of the issue respecting the confidentiality of cabinet documents that the representative for children and youth may review,” he wrote. “Today (May 27), a senior representative will sign a protocol that meets and respects the needs of both parties. As a result, no amendments to the Representative for Children and Youth Act will be required.”

Within weeks, clients comment on how radiant their skin becomes and say their friends notice it too.

They say that everything old eventually becomes new again, and it’s tough to find a better example of this old chestnut than the recent resurgence of farmers’ markets.

Farmers have been hawking their wares at open markets for centuries. The tradition has become trendy again in B.C., birthplace of the global 100-mile diet movement, as more and more consumers try to minimize their ecological footprint by buying locally grown produce.

Lyn Hainstock, who runs the weekly market held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays in the north parking lot at city hall, says Burnaby has been particularly receptive.

“We’ve been very lucky because Burnaby has been so open and supportive,” said Hainstock, who also runs markets at Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver and West Van’s Ambleside Park. “Quite honestly, it’s not easy to get these markets started. I think in a lot of municipalities, the council members don’t really go out and support farmers’ markets themselves and don’t appreciate the value, but in Burnaby it has been fantastic.”

The Burnaby market will celebrate its third birthday on June 13 and was so successful last season that this year it opened six weeks early.

“We normally open up in the middle

of June, but this year we got organized to open market in early May,” she said. “We have quite a few farmers growing under glass, and of course there will be quite a few plants for sale this time of year.”

Farmers’ markets are more than just a good place to hang out, try new local foods and connect with neighbours.

According to a recent report from the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, they represent a value of more than $118 million each year to local economies, making them an important link in the agricultural sector.

“B.C. grows and produces over 225 agricultural commodities and thousands of unique food products,” said ministry communications director Liz Bicknell.

“Farmers’ markets and agricultural fairs not only benefit local economies, they also provide people the opportunity to interact with food producers, drawing communities closer and educating citizens on where their food comes from.”

Hainstock agrees that the social aspect is a part of the draw. While buying produce such as fresh fruits and vegetables, organic cheese, free-range meat and freshly caught fish is the main draw, many people are also in the market for the social aspect.

“There’s a disconnection now in our society now with so much television and so much Internet, and I think this is a real chance for people to get together socially,” said Hainstock.

More market choices If you can’t make it on Saturdays, the Burnaby farmers’ market isn’t your only option in the vicinity.

New Westminster holds a similar event, featuring many of the same vendors, each Thursday, beginning June 10.

The Royal City Farmers Market will be held weekly from 3 to 7 p.m. until Oct. 7

at Tipperary Park, located at the end of Fourth Street on Royal Avenue, just up the hill from Columbia SkyTrain station.

There is free parking at the metered spots on Royal Avenue and free parking available after 4:30 p.m. in the city hall lot next door. Visit their website at www. rcfm.ca for fresh information.

Special honour: Burnaby actor Michael J. Fox, left, with his mom Phyllis and Mayor Derek Corrigan. Fox received the keys to the city June 4.

Burnaby’s favourite actor gets keys to his hometown Andrew Fleming staff reporter

An actor and former Burnabyite whose many memorable roles include playing a deputy mayor on the TV series Spin City was given the keys to the city by actual Mayor Derek Corrigan last Friday at the annual Michael J. Fox Theatre Golf Tournament.

Fox, who is best known for his role in the Back to the Future trilogy and for raising awareness of Parkinson’s disease, wasn’t the only one being honoured at the popular fundraiser held at Riverway Golf Course.

Riverway Place was officially renamed Bill Fox Way in honour of the actor’s

NEW

father, who was a police officer and member of the Canadian Armed Forces.

The name change is the result of an auction held by the city at the charity tournament in 2007, when the actor won the right to rename a local street after bidding $10,000. The golf course is the only address listed on the street.

Fox, who turns 49 today, was born in Edmonton, and his family moved to Burnaby in 1971. He attended high school here before moving to Los Angeles when he was 18, but he still retains family ties to the city.

The 613-seat Michael J. Fox Theatre is located at Burnaby South Secondary School and the B.C. Provincial School for the Deaf.

PriceSmart Foods employees lost their locks but made some money for the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation on Tuesday, May 25.

Eleven team members, including the entire management team, had their heads shaved at the fundraiser earlier this week, according to supervisor Mark Kauhane.

“It went fabulously well,” Kauhane said.

According to Kauhane, 30 to 40 people were on hand to watch the event at the front of the store, at 3433 North Rd. It was the first time the store held a charity head shave, though Kauhane said he hoped it would become an annual event.

He was one of the members of the management team who participated and said he was glad to take part in it.

Prize winner: TQ Construction won for best renovation for work done on this home, also a finalist in three other categories.

Burnaby construction company wins regional renovation award Janaya Fuller-Evans

staff reporter

TQ Construction Ltd., a Burnaby construction and design company, won a best renovation award from the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association last week.

TQ was a four-time finalist in the Greater Vancouver area’s first RenOVATION Awards. The company won in the best renovation between $100,000 and $249,000 category for the project, East Van Expression, completed with associate Bourne Again Interiors.

The company, founded in 1988 by husband and wife Ralph and Helene Belisle, was listed three times in the whole house renovation category and was also in the running for Renovator of the Year.

“We’re happy, relieved and thrilled,” said Ralph Belisle, TQ president, when the company placed as a finalist.

Belisle is also past president of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of

B.C. and the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association. He is the current chair of the Renovation Council of B.C. In the case of TQ Construction’s Burnaby renovation project, the company converted a long, “box-car” floor plan into a beautifully integrated kitchen ideal for large party entertaining, according to a press release.

According to Belisle, the GVHBA awards are even more competitive than the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of B.C.’s Georgie Awards. It is only the RenOVATION Awards’ first year.

TQ Construction has won 23 silver Georgie Awards and 10 gold Georgie Awards in the past. The company was named Best Renovator in B.C. at both the 2004 and 2006 Georgie Awards.

The company’s success is a result of quality and a diverse employee workforce, Belisle said.

“There’s an expectation of quality and a need for contractors who can take on all aspects of design and construction,” he

explained.

The company’s culture makes all the difference, Belisle said.

“We maintain a sense of fun and work that translates into a creative approach in design and construction,” he said.

TQ has clients throughout Burnaby, Vancouver and North Vancouver.

“We have a long history of working in those areas,” Belisle said.

The company has 24 permanent employees, and about 30 in total during the summer months.

This includes two in-house designers, an estimator, an administrative and design team, and five construction crews.

Belisle and Helene — who takes care of administration, marketing and IT — started the company after returning from Europe in the ‘80s.

Belisle advertised in a local paper as a “top quality” carpenter. People kept calling for the top quality carpenter, and the company name was born — TQ Construction.

Businesses should be wary of wearing too many hats SHOP TALK

Doug MacDougall

W

hat goes around, comes around.

A hundred years ago, we did our shopping at a general store which carried everything from nails and Aspirin to jeans and groceries.

Over the years, this evolved into a retail system that became more specialized along category lines – you bought light bulbs at a hardware store; Aspirin at the pharmacy; your jeans at a clothing store, and most days you went to the grocer.

Now, in something which is referred to in the retail industry as “channel blurring,” things are, in some ways, changing back.

You can buy all of these and more at any Wal-Mart, Real Canadian Superstore or Costco. But you can also get most of them at your local gas station.

Don’t get me wrong – we’ll always have specialty stores, especially in fashion, but they might have more than one specialty. Many fruit markets also sell milk and tinned goods. Corner stores sell flowers and lottery tickets alongside staples like bread and milk.

Drugstores have already evolved from places where you get your prescription filled to stores where you can buy toys, computers, cameras and other electronic gadgets – and even some basic groceries. On the other hand, many grocery stores now have pharmacies and a big electronics department.

Canadian Tire has changed a lot since 1925, when it was Hamilton Tire and Garage Ltd. on Toronto’s Yonge Street.

While it still relies heavily on its tires, tools and auto repair base, it moved into basic domestics, tabletop, home decor, cookware, small appliances and garden centres some years ago. But the latest stores have added an expanded health and wellness assort-

ment including humidifiers, electric toothbrushes and candles, plus a selection of plumbing, electronics and sporting equipment.

Home Depot has gone beyond home repair and renovations and is now one of the biggest sellers of major home appliances in North America.

Over the years, supermarkets have increased the variety of goods they stock, adding delis, instore bakeries, garden plants and more – even

banking services. The bigger stores often lease space to other retailers and services. Now you can go to a Real Canadian Superstore, for example, and have your hair cut, pay your car insurance, book a trip to Las Vegas, buy a pair of eyeglasses and even renegotiate your mortgage to help pay for it all without ever leaving the store.

There is a risk in all of this, however. Channel blurring, I believe, raises the danger of stores developing a serious iden-

tity crisis – abandoning one’s core business and squeezing many different categories under one roof has inherent dangers.

Some marriages are logical – coffee in a bookstore has a synergy, for example. The post office in many Shoppers Drug Marts works well. But I’m a believer in sticking to what you are good at. If you wear too many hats, some will fall off.

How to get the most from your rambling roses bloom in semi-shade.

One is the purplishblue Wedding Veil (Veilchenblau), a rambler with fewer blooms in semi-shade but a reputation for enhanced flower colour there.

Some others (such as the climber New Dawn) can be started in semishade and will flower abundantly once they have escaped by climbing up into the sunshine.

Climbers tend to have stiff canes and some develop significant trunks so they can stand alone.

Also, climbers may flower repeatedly.

Ramblers have malleable canes, which makes them much easier to wind through things. But most ramblers are old roses, fragrant, but only June-flowering. Some have pretty rose hips.

Since both kinds climb, I’ll be using the word “climbers.” But their differences need to be borne in mind when choosing a rose for a specific purpose.

For instance, when

he days when climbing roses were for walls and all others were segregated in rose beds are almost gone. In gardens today, roses are free to snuggle up with diverse companions in a variety of different settings.

For instance, climbing and rambling roses can wind around obelisks, posts covered with wire mesh and teepees, provide a prickly warning around vulnerable house windows and double the value of space in small gardens by teaming up with flowering shrubs.

The main limiting factors are sunshine and moisture. Most roses need six hours sun daily, though there are a few that

choosing a tree or shrub as a support for climbers, a rambler will wind through the branches better and be easier to reposition if necessary.

It’s also important to match the size of the tree or shrub and the rose.

The living supports must be strong enough to hold the climber when it’s mature, and the rose mustn’t grow so abundantly it smothers and weakens its support.

Roses are often grown up west or south walls, and this is a great, warm,

sheltered place for them.

There’s likely to be a lot of watering at first because soil by walls can be dry, especially in summer.

But eventually the rose roots grow out into more hospitable places.

This also happens with other large wall plants, such as fig trees and passion vines.

Painting walls that host roses can be a challenge, even if they’re on detachable trellises because old, woody rose trunks are stiff.

But I’ve been told some

gardeners prune them back to the ground and they do reshoot. I haven’t tried it.

But with grafted roses (and many other grafted plants), cutting back to the ground is likely to trigger rootstock suckers. Ownroot roses are great, if you can get them. It’s slow, but possible, to grow your own from cuttings.

Rose arches can involve heavy timbers, lattice-work or (as I once saw on a Mission acreage) branches cut from the wild and bent while they’re still green.

Concrete rebar fastened to the base of the twiggy wood makes a solid post that makes detachment easy when you need to redo the top work.

One Burnaby gardener finds stucco wire so sturdy she has made free-standing arches for roses and clematis connected into the ground by short posts.

Another effective use is when climbing roses wrap up and over a small porch.

Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions.

he staff and students at Burnaby’s Whytecliff Agile Learning Centre had something to celebrate on May 18 – nine students graduated from the independent school.

Whytecliff isn’t your typical school, and these kids are not your typical students. The school takes in kids who are struggling in the mainstream school system for a variety of reasons. They could have fetal alcohol syndrome, drug addictions or experienced trauma and abuse, for example.

Jocelyn Macdougall works with the Focus Foundation of B.C., which runs the school. She said the graduation is particularly special because

“This means many things to the youth: recognition that they are capable and talented people who can make a positive contribution to their communities and society as a whole,” she added.

“The high school gradu-

ation ceremony …is really a celebration of the transformation of these youth have experienced and of the fact that there is hope for a brighter future for these and all B.C’s troubled youth,” Macdougall said.

Burnaby Mountain Secondary is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and staff and all students – past and present – are invited.

The celebration is June 11, from 4 to 7 p.m. There

will be games, food and entertainment.

Each school year will have a corresponding table set up.

Burnaby Mountain is at 8800 Eastlake Dr. For more information, call the school at 604-664-8550.

City author pens another novel Linda DeMeulemeester is working more literary magic.

The Burnaby author has just marked the release of the fourth novel in her award-winning Grim Hill series for young readers.

Grim Hill: The Family Secret, has just been released by Lobster Press.

It’s the latest in the series that began in the spring of 2007, when The Secret of Grim Hill was published.

That novel, aimed at nine- to 12year-olds and described as “Harry Potter meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” was DeMeulemeester’s first for young readers.

It became a quick success, being named one of the top 10 Great Books of the Year by the Canadian Toy

Testing Council, earning readers’ choice award nominations in B.C., Saskatchewan and Atlantic Canada and earning Ontario’s Silver Birch Readers’ Choice Award in 2008.

The Grim Hill series follows the adventures of teen protagonist Cat Peters and her adventures at Darkmont High, weaving in Celtic legends, magic and ancient traditions.

“Cat doesn’t have it easy, but she doesn’t give up,” De Meulemeester notes in a press release. “She makes mistakes and isn’t one bit perfect, but she does try and do something about her mistakes. I think there’s something about that we can all identify with.”

DeMeulemeester says she feels a particularly strong connection with

the tween readers who are gravitating towards her Grim Hill novels.

“I think of the books I felt the most passionate about when I was 10 or 11, and that influences my writing today,” she says. “That was the age when reading opened up whole new worlds of imagination for me, as well as a lifelong appreciation of all things literary. To write for this age group is a complete delight, and to know that they really like the books is so exciting – it’s like going full circle and giving back something.”

DeMeulemeester was recently introduced to even more young readers through the 2010 Red Cedar Awards – B.C.’s Young Readers’ Choice program.

The 37-year-old restaurant has been at 4660 Hastings St., in the heart of the Heights, since 1973, and the second-generation daughter of original owners Poppy and Eugene is doing her best to connect with customers via social media.

“We’ve found that setting up Twitter and Facebook accounts has really increased our profile,” said Jenny. “It’s a chance for us to tell customers about ourselves, and it’s helped increase our busi-

ness.”

No better evidence of this fact is the April 9 party that Romana’s held to celebrate its birthday.

Offering $3 spaghetti with meat sauce and $3.85 small classic pizza – and promoted mainly through social media – Romana’s had hour-long lineups all night.

“What a gong show that was,” said Jenny’s sister Nora, mother of 18-monthold Aria. “It was unbelievable how many people showed up, and it was great to know we’re still so respected in the community.”

Jenny and Nora are quite familiar with the long working hours of running a restaurant, having literally grown up in the Mediterranean-style business. Now mothers themselves, they still work at the restaurant between the time they’re taking care of their daughters.

“Eleni is a natural here,” said Jenny. “When she comes in with me, she’s at

the front, greeting customers.”

Eleni’s cousin Aria is a little more shy, so that means Nora doesn’t bring her into Romana’s for her weekend shifts.

“She’s very good when she’s with Eleni, but she’s very shy by herself,” said Nora. “It’s easier if I leave her home, so that means I usually only work weekends.”

The close-knit family has weathered the storm of an economic downturn that hit the hospitality industry hard.

“I think our secret is, as a small business, we try harder to please each and every customer who comes in the door,” said Poppy.

“We’ve found that people are willing to support small business if they feel you’re taking good care of them.”

Poppy is so sure of this that in Jenny’s tweets about the business, she asks new customers to introduce themselves to Poppy the first time they come in.

Challenging memories HEALTHWISE

Dr. Davidicus Wong

L

ast week, approximately 80 of my high school classmates came together for a reunion at Anducci’s. Decades (I’ll let you guess how many) have passed since I graduated from Burnaby North, yet memories of those days seem as fresh as if they happened last month. Of course, they were recently refreshed by my oldest son’s grad dinner and dance a few weeks ago.

Burnaby North had always been a big school.

The graduating class was too large for everyone to know everyone else, and less than 20 per cent was able to attend this reunion, yet I expected that I would recognize most faces. I was the editor of all my high school yearbooks from grades 9 to 12. I still have vivid memories of the fun I had with my friends, including Stew, Stan, Peter and Ron, staying at school hours after classes ended, developing photos, designing layouts and writing. It kept us from getting into trouble.

My summers were even preoccupied with the planning of the next year’s book. Each production was a 365-day-a-year job, so we objected to people calling them annuals as if they were thrown together once a year. In fact, I caught myself last week correcting a classmate who referred to our yearbook as the annual,

as if it really makes a difference now.

I therefore saw every photo that did or didn’t make it to publication, and I realized the responsibility we had in creating the time capsule for our teachers and classmates. Each yearbook would form a core of their memories.

At Anducci’s, a slide show of old yearbook photos was projected above the bar, and we each wore a nametag with our graduating photo. Over the years, those candid snapshots, group photos, team pictures and portraits have become icons that may or may not have reflected the reality of the moment. True or false, they solidified core memories now challenged when we meet again years later.

It is an odd thing these days to be in a room full of people the same age.

When you’re fresh out of school, the rest of the world is older, but when you pass the median age of the population, the rest of the world seems younger – unless you hang out at hospitals and nursing homes.

Though we all should have been about the same age, many of the faces were hardly recognizable. Some looked as young as their early 30s; some could be in their 50s. Few looked like the 17- or 18-year-olds depicted on their name tags.

Thank goodness our names were in large print.

Most of us would need reading glasses. Even so, we couldn’t believe our eyes, matching nametags to faces. So many factors can alter our apparent

age: the effects of easy or hard times, the accelerated aging caused by smoking and hard drugs, the stress of illness and chronic health conditions and, of course, genetics. Yet we shouldn’t judge one another by appearances; that’s what everyone did in high school. We’re all a lot older and deeper than that.

Right?

In my next column: what I learned about my classmates and myself at my reunion.

BC Lions give back to the community A

Lions Pride is a new program designed for youth in grades 8 to 12 and combines school visits by BC Lions players with the creation of a flag football program. Photo courtesy BC Lions

For tickets, check out www.bclions.com or call 604-589-ROAR.

s the BC Lions get set to tackle another season at this year’s training camp in Kamloops, many players have wrapped up another round of community and school appearances.

These off-season endeavours are a big part of the Lions’ community relations program, and players and staff log hundreds of hours each year speaking to students, making special appearances and spreading positive messages to young people.

Lions centre and Lower Mainland native Dean Valli says participating in these programs can be as fulfilling as putting points on the board at a game.

“I’ve been involved with several of the club’s community programs for a few years now and it’s a great feeling to know you’re setting a positive example for kids while having fun at the same time!”

Some of the Lions programs include: Lions in the House The Lions in the House program is designed specifically for students in grades 8 to 12 and emphasizes the importance of positive life skills development for students and their schools.

This year, Lions defensive assistant Barron Miles and centre Angus Reid traveled to secondary schools and engaged students in an interactive assembly with physical activity and motivational speeches on fitness and nutrition, bullying, continuing education, and maintaining a positive attitude. In all, Lions visited 30 schools across the Lower Mainland, speaking to more than 3,000 students as part of the program.

Lions Pride This new addition to the BC Lions school program was launched this year.

In partnership with the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, the BC Lions are inspiring youth to be active, make positive choices and excel. Lions Pride is designed for youth in grades 8 to 12 and combines school visits with the creation of a flag football program.

BC Lions Terasen Gas Energy Champions This program is designed specifically for children in

kindergarten through Grade 7, emphasizing the importance of environmental responsibility and being an “Energy Champion.”

In 2010, the BC Lions Terasen Gas Energy Champions program has visited 75 elementary schools throughout the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the Interior and northern B.C. Read, Write & Roar The 2010 season marks the ninth year of this BC Lions’ literacy program in partnership with Literacy BC, the Vancouver Public Library, the Vancouver School Board and participating elementary schools.

The program reached 15 school districts and more than 25,000 elementary school students, stressing the importance of literacy through a fun and captivating journal.

Courage for Kids In 2009, the BC Lions continued their partnership with United Way of the Lower Mainland in support of this program.

More than 6,000 children were given the opportunity to attend a BC Lions home game during the season thanks to the generosity of Courage For Kids sponsors and the United Way of the Lower Mainland.

Every Yard Counts In 2010, the BC Lions will continue to partner with BC Children’s Hospital for the Every Yard Counts program. This initiative provides an opportunity for children to attend a BC Lions home game, allowing them to get away from their treatment schedules and the everyday battles they fight.

While the children get an opportunity to experience the excitement and emotion of a CFL game, they also have a chance to meet some of the BC Lions players. The interactions have far-reaching effects by creating feelings of hope and happiness, making it an enjoyable and rewarding program for everyone involved.

For more information on any of these BC Lions programs, please contact the Lions’ director of community relations, Jamie Taras, at jtaras@bclions.com.

MOTORING Why did wheel fall off?

CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: Two weeks ago while travelling down a city street, my car, a Volvo S80, suddenly swerved and almost flew into a lamppost. A man driving behind me said he saw the right front wheel come off just before the car swerved. If he had not seen the wheel fall off, I would not have known what had happened. My insurance has covered everything, as the car was a total loss, but neither the insurance company nor the Volvo shop where it was towed could give any explanation for this accident.

Have you any ideas or explanations? Thank you.

– Judy RAY: I can’t say for sure what happened, Judy, but my guess is that your wheel bolts broke off.

TOM: Why did it break?

We don’t know. A manufacturing defect? Age? I would say that most likely the cause is previous over-tightening. If a shop isn’t careful to measure its torque, it easily can over-tighten a bolt, which stretches it, and that causes the metal to fatigue and weaken. And the more times you over-torque it – putting it on and taking it off – the weaker the metal gets.

RAY: Whenever we have more than one wheel bolt break on a car, we replace all 20 of them. We don’t even give the customer a choice. We figure if two of them were over-tightened and are ready to break, they probably all were over-tightened and are ready to break.

TOM: And in your situation, you might have had one that broke without your knowing it. Then you had four doing the job of five.

RAY: That increased the stress on the remaining four, and soon another one

gave way. Then you had three doing the job of five.

TOM: And you never would notice this until the last bolt or two can’t hold on anymore, and the wheel falls off.

RAY: This is something that you hope your regular repair shop would catch in advance when it does things like inspect your brakes and rotate your tires. But that didn’t happen in your case. Maybe your shop doesn’t subscribe to our bolt-replacement theory? Maybe you haven’t been in for service regularly enough? Maybe they’re the ones doing the over-tightening? Or maybe it was just bad luck and the whole episode took place between service visits?

TOM: In any case, that’s our guess as to what happened. And we’re just glad you didn’t get hurt.

Heartbreaking: Scott Secco of Oak Bay, foreground, was leading by a large margin in the boys’ 2,000-metre

steeplechase when the unthinkable happened. With just 50m to go, he fell head-over-heels on the final jump, struggled to get up and then desperately tried to keep his lead, with Elgin Park’s Jake Bruchet, jumping, and Justin Kent of Kwantlen Park, on his heels. Bruchet went on to win the race, Secco finished in third. See the whole story in pictures in the Burnaby NOW photo gallery on the web.

Junior A Lakers shoot down Saints in Sunday showdown Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby Lakers stopped a four-game losing slide in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League with an 8-5 win over the Port Coquitlam Saints at home Sunday.

Left-side sniper Riley Loewen tallied his second consecutive hat trick in as many games since returning from Limestone College, scoring four times to lead Burnaby to its sixth win of the season.

“It’s tough coming back from field (lacrosse) with those big nets, but I think this game I hit the net and they started going in,” said Loewen, who scored 28 goals in his freshman season at the NCAA Division II South Carolina school.

“It’s good to get that first win.”

Good too in order to keep pace with the leaders New Westminster, Coquitlam and Victoria, all tied with 17 points, and Nanaimo just a point ahead in fourth with 14.

The junior A Lakers started well, scoring just their seventh goal on the power play from Jaxson Lee in the opening five minutes of play at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre.

Seconds later Josh Simons put one past a well-worked Mike Lowe with a nifty high/low fake at the right crease.

Loewen then potted his first of the game, also on the extra man,

after the Lakers had sounded the on the extra man in its first dozen alarm bell on the Saints, clanging games, far below the next lowest team, the Delta Islanders, with 23 in three well-taken shots off the iron.

The first period ended with as many games.

“We’re trying, even five-on-five, ity on Burnaby’s to-do list, Loewen believes the Lakers must to get the ball swinging continue to stay the side to side,” Loewen “Right now, it’s course. said, adding the back “Right now, it’s tough. and front ends are gettough.

AA GIRLS SOCCER

Knights disappoint in Kamloops Tom Berridge

sports editor

The St. Thomas More Knights were an unlucky 12th at the B.C. high school AA girls’ Subway Cup final in Kamloops.

The Knights drew their first two games in the championship tournament and then dropped a crucial 2-0 decision to eventual consolation winner St. Michael’s University, relegating STM to the thirdteam pool in the four-tier tournament placement format after group play.

STM lost its final match of the tourney 3-2 to Caledonia after a narrow 2-1 defeat to host Sa-Hali in the late Friday crossover matchup.

Sarah Hughes and Monika Podgorski both scored goals in the loss to Caledonia. Marisa DiLorenzo had the lone goal for the Knights against Sa-Hali.

“As a team we were disappointed with our effort and results,” said STM head coach Carlo Zavarise.

Burnsview defeated Carihi High of Campbell River 2-0 in the AA championship final Saturday.

Notre Dame finished in

sixth place following a 2-0 loss to Brocklehurst.

Last week, STM won the B.C. AA golf championship banner for a third straight time.

Micheal Belle and Alan Tolusso finished second and third, respectively, in individual scoring. Belle shot a two-day total of 142, while Tolusso was two shots back at 144.

The Knights, including Lucas Gatto, Josh Punzo and Kevin Vigna, had a combined team six-overpar score of 582, overwhelming the field by more than 40 strokes.

Earlier, Alan, a Grade 9 student at STM, also took part, along with his sister Eleni Tolusso, in the recent AA B.C. high school tennis provincial championships at the Burnaby Tennis Club.

The Knights tennis team was seeded 10th overall going into the championships and finished in fifth place overall, behind defending three-time AA champion Collingwood and runners-up Brentwood, Shawnigan Lake and SaHali of Kamloops.

It was the first time in 25 years that STM had qualified for the provincials.

The Burnaby Central Wildcats salvaged a ninthplace finish at the B.C. AAA girls’ Subway Cup soccer championships in Victoria Saturday.

Central, a third-place-finisher from a tough Pool C containing eventual provincial champion Claremont, won its final two games of the three-day tournament to finish as high as it could in the placement round Saturday.

The Wildcats defeated Centennial 3-1 to take ninth place overall, following an overall 3-1-1 record at the provincial championships.

Central opened up with a scoreless draw against eventual eighth-place South Delta. The Wildcats then routed Interior champ Prince George by a 5-0 score in their second game of the day June 3.

The Friday was less rewarding as the No. 2 zone seed lost an early morning match 4-0 to Claremont, which went on to eke out a 1-0 victory on penalty kicks against Argyle in the championship final.

Later in the day, Central blanked Charles Best 2-0 to secure a spot in the final top 10 at the tourney.

Central’s Kendra Bui was the Wildcats’ recipient of a commissioner’s XI award.

school with the track ripped up,” Lin said.

“There is a part of the curve, and I still pull out the mats and practise twice a week.”

Damanpreet Rai of New Westminster finished in fifth place in the girls’ 100-m hurdles in a time of 15.89 behind the meet’s most inspirational athlete, Zarria Storm of Oak Bay, and Grade 9 Langley sensation Georgia Ellenwood, who picked up a second gold medal in the long jump to go along with last week’s heptathlon title. Rai also finished ninth in the long jump.

AnotherNewWestminster Hyack, junior high jumper Manisha Kandola, finished tied for sixth in her specialty at 1.55m.

“I was pretty close.

I’m not really a morning jumper. It was too early,” said Kandola.

St. Thomas More’s Pamela Ho placed eighth in the high jump despite injuries at the same 1.55m height.

Ali Nizamani of Central finished seventh in the boys’ 400-m hurdles.

Gurdas Panesar of New Westminster posted a personal-best seventh place in the boys’ discus, throwing 40.58m.

Panesar also placed in the shot put and javelin for the Hyacks and then showed his appreciation to his high school coach by helping out the student body ground crew clean up after the last of his three events.

“Ms. McNulty has done a lot for us, so I feel I owe her something,” Panesar said.

Oak Bay and Brookswood won the girls’ and boys’ aggregate team banners, respectively.

Oak Bay took the overall team championship title for a fifth straight year, and for an eighth time over the last nine seasons.

Queen Elizabeth Secondary holds the record for consecutive track team titles, having won six in a row from 1988 to 1993.
