Home hit by blaze Fire caused about $50,000 in damage BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
A young family was fortunate not to be at home when a fire broke out in their Glenbrook North residence. Fire crews attended a home in the 800-block of Fourth Street about 8:45 p.m. on Thursday, July 8. The fire is estimated to have caused about $50,000 damage. “Crews rolled up. Apparently it just looked like a little bit of smoke coming out of the chimney,” said fire inspector Brent Joel. “Within a few minutes there was more smoke coming out under the eaves and doors.” Firefighters did a 360-degree walk around the house to plan their attack. “They noticed that all the windows were black in the basement and main floor,” he said. “They were starting to crack in the frames. It means there is fire inside, it’s heating up pretty good.” Crews decided to go in the back door of the basement and pop out a front basement window, which would allow the smoke, heat and gases to vent out. “They couldn’t see a thing because of the smoke,” Joel said of firefighters moving through the basement to seek the source ◗Fire Page 8

The constant gardener: Claude LeDoux in the garden of his West End home – the first featured garden in our Urban Oases series.
A growing work of art
The backyards and patios of New Westminster are filled with them – those gardens and greenspaces that provide a haven from the hustle and bustle of city life. This summer, we’re going out to find them and share them with you. In this issue, Theresa McManus pays a call on Claude LeDoux.
C
laude LeDoux has created an urban oasis using many of the tricks of the trade he’s learned during a lengthy gardening career. Since buying their West End home in 1996, LeDoux and Adrian Michielsen have renovated the 1908 house and created an
amazing garden where none previously existed. “It’s absolutely day and night,” he said. “It is so full and lush. I am finally getting it to what I wanted it to be. It has so many openings and gaps.” LeDoux, who is the City of New Westminster’s horticulture manager, knows a thing or two about gardening. Michielsen, an engineer, grew up on a farm. Rather than randomly planting, they developed a vision for their yard. “I designed it out, laid it out. We have been working on it for about 15 years,” LeDoux said. “When you have patience you get to work to the vision of what you are
trying to do. You can assemble the things you need slowly.” Like his house, LeDoux’s garden is dramatically different today than it was a decade ago. The garden has a solid foundation that many gardens don’t necessarily have – drainage and irrigation systems. Pathways were planned, rather than randomly placed in the yard. “It’s never done. The garden is complete – all the hardscapes,” LeDoux said about paths that lead to various parts of the garden. “All I do now is if I want to change some of the garden, I move things around.”

City now owns the tin soldier
Court settles
Woodlands case closes – for some former residents BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER
BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER
afleming@royalcityrecord.com
tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
The B.C. Supreme Court approved a cash settlement agreement last week in the class action lawsuit brought by former residents of Woodlands who say they suffered abuse from staff. People who claim to have suffered physical, psychological and/or sexual abuse who resided at the former New Westminster institution for the developmentally disabled any time after Aug. 1, 1974 now have 14 months to apply for compensation, which ranges from $3,000 to $150,000. The amount depends on the individual level of abuse on a case-to-case basis. Controversially, residents from before 1974 are prohibited from applying for compensation because there was no law before then allowing people to sue the government for abuse suffered under its care. “Government is aware of concerns expressed by individuals regarding the Aug. 1, 1974 date at which claims for compensation will be considered,” said Attorney General Mike de Jong in a prepared statement. “While we have not changed the terms of the settlement, the matter presently remains before government.” Woodlands opened in 1878 as the provincial asylum for the insane. The facility closed in 1996. In 2001, former B.C. ombudsman Dulcie McCallum completed a review of Woodlands School records dating back to 1950 and found that abuse at the facility was “systemic.”
File photo/THE RECORD
Fresh coat of paint: A worker paints the tin soldier at Westminster Quay in August 2009. The city is now the owner of the world’s largest tin soldier.
The world’s largest tin soldier has been given his marching orders – to stay put. A fixture on the waterfront, the tin solider was built by various tradespeople and donated to the Simon Fraser Society for Community Living. The society doesn’t have the funds to maintain or insure the tin soldier, which was recognized as the largest in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records. City council has agreed to transfer ownership from the Simon Fraser Society to the city. “The orphan is no longer an orphan,” Wright said. “It’s a positive for the city.” In addition to representing a part of the city’s history, Wright said the tin soldier also contributes to local tourism. “We see it lined up constantly with people taking their picture,” he said. “It is unique.” Prior to becoming mayor, Wright spearheaded the tin solider project as a fundraiser for the Simon Fraser Society. He also wrote a book about the tin soldier, Tall Tale, The True Story of the World’s Largest Tin Soldier. “It wasn’t painted with the correct paint. That is why it only lasted 10 years,” he said of the soldier, which has since been repainted. “It is made of bridge material. It should last as long as the Pattullo Bridge.” A staff report to council said River Market is supportive of retaining the solider on its property and is willing to enter into a long-term lease with the city. “In addition, the River Market has recently undertaken work to repaint the soldier at its own expense,” noted the report. “The soldier is now in excellent condition and should require minimal short-term maintenance.” The report called the soldier “valuable” and a unique addition to the city’s public art inventory.

Getting schooled on traffic
Tragic death of sixth-grader has made parents more concerned
BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
Parents’ concerns about traffic issues around schools are on the city’s radar. A representative of the district parent advisory council attended the city’s traffic advisory committee’s recent meeting, where issues such as speeding in school zones were raised as concerns. “We really, really need to do a blitz about reinforcing the dangers around school zones,” said Coun. Bob Osterman, who chairs the committee. Concerns about traffic around schools will be passed along to the New Westminster police board. Osterman said parents are also concerned about the safety of drop-off areas around some schools. As the school district plans for three new schools, he said there may be an opportunity to address drop-off zones for those schools. Some parents are also concerned about the safety
of children crossing McBride Boulevard on their way to school. A young boy was recently killed after being hit by a truck on his way to school. “The (police) investigation is still ongoing. We are cognizant of that,” Osterman said. “Their concern is how do we get kids to use the overpass.” Osterman was pleased that two employees of the school district attended the meeting and are willing to represent the school district at future traffic advisory committee meetings. He said the city will have to change its bylaws to allow staff, not trustees, to attend the meetings, but it’s a positive move. According to Osterman, there’s been a breakdown in communication between school district staff and trustees regarding traffic issues. “It is healthy,” he said about having representatives of the school district at the table. “The information goes back in a formal report to the board.” Some community members are also concerned about the traffic impact that a new Pattullo Bridge would have on traffic on city streets that students cross.
Pride website launched The recently formed Royal City Pride Society, the group behind the city’s first-ever gay pride event, has recently launched a website. Gay Pride will officially be held on Aug. 7, but there will be a number of events held in the week leading
up to the day. The new website chronicles all of the Pride happenings. The Pride event is called Diversity: Celebrating our Chosen Families, and organizers say it is meant to be inclusive and familyfriendly. See www.royalcity pridesociety.com.

Breaking the cycle of poverty BY JENNIFER MOREAU REPORTER jmoreau@royalcityrecord.com
A New Westminster group that helps young aboriginal moms with housing is getting a financial boost from the federal government. AuntLeah’sIndependentLifeskills Society is receiving $666,500 through the Government of Canada’s homelessness partnering strategy. Aunt Leah’s runs a transitional housing program that provides
a safe place for young aboriginal moms who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. About eight to 10 moms go through the program each year. The federal funding means the organization can buy the home they were renting. “This purchase will ensure that vulnerable young mothers always have support and a home to return to,” said Gale Stewart, executive director of Aunt Leah’s.

◗ HEALTH CARE
Local health region fares poorly in study BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com
The Fraser Health Authority scored the lowest marks in Canada in its size category, according to a recent report. Wallace Lockhart of the University of Regina studied statistics ranking quality of care, access to services and patient satisfaction to analyze 45 different health regions across the country – 30 regions representing health regions with populations of 200,000 or more, and 15 regions representing health regions with fewer than 200,000 people. In the larger category, the combined health region for Burnaby and New Westminster came dead last. Abbotsford and Chilliwack, also represented by the Fraser Health Authority, combined to take the third-to-last place, coming in 28th out of 30. Red Deer, Alta. came in 29th. The New Brunswick city of Moncton was the overall winner, followed by Regina, Victoria, Ottawa and Nanaimo. Lockhart, an accounting professor in the university’s school of business, was able to obtain the patient-satisfaction data from unreleased information from the Canadian Community Health Survey, conducted annually by Statistics Canada. “The purpose of the research is to identify best practices and performances in health care in Canada,” said Lockhart in a statement. “What surprised me about the findings is that, although there are significant differences between regions in any one measure, their aggregate scores are relatively close. This suggests to me that best practices in health care are not concentrated in any one location and that health-care organizations can learn from each other by identifying strongest performers in each key area.” In the area of quality, the survey looks at 10 diverse measurements, including such things as hysterectomy readmission

In the area of access, there are six measurements, including waiting periods for people with fractured hips and knee replacement rates. In the area of patient satisfaction, there are three measurements, including physician care and hospital care. A Fraser Health representative said
Tuesday that they haven’t had time to review Lockhart’s findings, which were released July 8. “We haven’t even looked at it, to be quite honest,” said spokesperson Joan Marshall. “We would need some time to actually study it. Without having the actual report, it would be not only inap-
Legion allowed later hours
Patrons of the Royal Canadian Legion will be able to socialize a little bit later than they they’ve been able to do in the past. The Legion, located at 631 Sixth St., has operated from noon to 8 p.m. on Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays and from noon to 11 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Because of the increasing need to obtain temporary exemptions to allow the Legion to remain open to midnight for special events, it has applied to permanently change its closing time to midnight.
A staff report said the Legion doesn’t always operate to the full extent of its liquor licence hours and doesn’t actually anticipate staying open until midnight most nights. The change in hours will allow the Legion to host special events like crib, billiards and dart tournaments and other sporting events – without the need to get a temporary change to its licence. Coun. Betty McIntosh said that most of the patios in the city close at 10 p.m. She noted the city had received letters from nearby residents
concerned about smoking on the patio and the time the patio would close. Keith Coueffin, the city’s manager of licensing and integrated services, said patios on city sidewalks must close at 10 p.m. Smoking is also prohibited on these patios. “Patios that are located on private property are not subject to those requirements,” he said. Because the Legion’s patio is totally on private property, it isn’t subject to city bylaws regarding operating hours. – Theresa McManus
Honour House plans moving ahead The Honour House Society is aiming to open its facility for injured Canadian veterans and first responders in November. Having purchased the property at 509 St. George St., the society is now at the stage of applying for a building permit to do the renovations that will be required to make the
house ready to accommodate injured veterans and first responders. The non-profit organization asked the city to waive fees and expenses required as part of its building permit application and to waive property taxes for 10 years. A staff report stated that the city doesn’t make it a
practice to waive building permit fees and expenses relating to building envelop repairs. It’s estimated that all fees related to the project would total about $11,000. Council agreed to forgive the building permit costs associated with the project. “It’s not typical,” said Mayor Wayne Wright about
council’s decision. “This is so extraordinary. In the long run it is a very positive thing for the city.” Council referred the property tax exemption request to the process that the city embarks on each fall, at which time council considers applications for exemptions. – Theresa McManus

OUR VIEW
the polls is not surprising. Results show that 30 per cent of B.C. residents believe the new tax will severely affect their household finances. Seventy per cent of 801 online poll participants indicated they will dine out less often as a result of the HST, while 62 per cent plan to attend fewer concerts or sporting events. Sixty per cent plan to spend less time at movies or the theatre, 55 per cent plan to buy fewer newspapers or magazines, and 49 per cent indicated they will pay
fewer visits to the dry cleaner. Whether those plans last past the first few weeks of cash register shock over the HST remains to be seen. But it’s clear that something about the tax – that it applies to so many items, that it’s coming at a time when people already feel overtaxed or even that it was implemented in a dishonest way – has shaken up B.C. politics. What we’ll all be watching for is to see if that translates into a change at the ballot box. Only time will tell.

Where’s the NDP on the HST?
Dear Editor:
Re: Is Vander Zalm a threat to NDP?, In My Opinion, Keith Baldrey, The Record, June 30. I must say I agree wholeheartedly with Keith Baldrey’s comments regarding Carole James. Knowing what she knows about how badly the people of B.C. now despise Gordon Campbell, Colin Hansen and their Liberal colleagues over the hated HST, one would think that she would be attempting to take advantage of that unpopularity by the NDP actually making a commitment to repeal the HST if elected. Votes in any recall byelections will go to whichever candidates run on a promise of repeal. Carole and the NDP can’t afford to simply keep quiet and not make such a commitment to the taxpayers. The people are going to need to hear loud and clear that
the hated tax will be repealed, and that needs to be the party’s policy. Sure, Carole James, along with other members of the NDP, were at the anti-HST rally at Canada Place, but, for the most part, she has been rather quiet on the issue ever since, and this causes the people to wonder just what the NDP is willing to do about it if elected. People are not going to vote NDP unless a firm commitment is made to repeal the HST. We don’t want to hear after a win that it would be just too costly to repeal the HST, because people have been lied to and deceived by the Liberals, and we need to hear from a party that it is actually listening to the people and are willing to do as the people want. We have had enough of this Liberal dictatorship to last a lifetime.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Party policies should trump leadership winner
Dear Editor:
Re: Who should lead the Liberals?, In my opinion, Keith Baldrey, The Record, July 14. Keith Baldrey is playing a shell game when he asks who might be the next leader of the B.C. Liberals. Who cares which shill is fronting for the party? What’s important are the party policies, and they will be pretty much the same, regardless of how photogenic the leader is. It’s a “happy time” for the real estate speculators, dire poverty for thousands and slowly worsening conditions for all the rest of us. What’s really necessary is for the people of this province to get rid of the Liberals and to create a new government that will do what the people want and what the people need. For myself, I would expect that the minimum requirements would be to make sure that everyone has a home and decent food, as well as proper health care and education, and that we have full employment. (Anyone who thinks that Canadian health care is free needs to understand that the poorest people cannot get even basic dental care or eye exams. Anyone who thinks that Canadian education is free needs to understand that without some post-secondary in a modern industrial society, you are at a severe disadvantage.) Countries
as different as Cuba and Denmark have accomplished these things. Why can’t we? Victor Finberg, Burnaby
Signage needs improving
Dear Editor:
Can I be the only person in the Lower Mainland who deplores the clarity of our signage? Quite often the sign is offered when it’s too late to change lanes. There is one sign, no advance signs or incomplete or unclear signs. Does this not often cause accidents? It is bad enough when the weather is clear. When it is dark and rainy, it can be disastrous. It has often occurred to me that if you already know where you are going there is no problem. Signs, however, are supposed to be intended for those who don’t know where they are going – hence the need for signs. Yes, there are Google maps, MapQuest and GPS devices, but not everyone has those. And even if you do have them, they are sometimes inaccurate or not up-to-date, or just as confusing. I have travelled and driven in many other parts of North America and certainly in most parts of B.C. The Lower Mainland is particularly bad, and we only have one language for the most part. Will the elusive people or person in charge of Lower Mainland signage please stand up and identify themselves. Eileen Robinson, Pitt Meadows
THE BEST FROM OUR BLOGS The following is an excerpt from a post this week in Tom Berridge’s blog, Oneman Team, available on our website. More great pics of lacrosse – this time of girls. Many thanks to Alan Wardle for these great photos of the New Westminster midget girls,
who dominated their division at the recent B.C. minor lacrosse female championships in Port Moody. The New West association placed three teams in the top four, including gold and bronze medallists. I love the shot of Leah
Purdey, top, the girl who is being congratulated after scoring a goal – perfect peak action – shows a good eye for the dramatic. To see the lacrosse pictures, visit www.royal cityrecord.com. Click on the Opinion tab, and follow the link under Blogs for One-man Team.
Idol: Contest for a new head of state ◗ continued from page 6
And what could we have here instead of a queen (or king) to watch over her (his) humble, little children? In reality, everything the queen could do for us is already done by our Governor General – who supposedly represents the Queen Herself but is in fact chosen by the prime minister in consultation with the Privy Council. The only royalty in the equation is purely sym-
bolic. And the current Gov.Gen. – as evidenced by her botching of the parliamentary proroguing that has become all the fashion of late – is a pretty good argument for a complete change to the system. How about we elect our Senate? And the head of the resultant Upper Chamber is named Chancellor (or some-such) and takes on the symbolic role of interpreting the constitution for the prime
minister? Or how about a brave new American Idol knockoff – Canadian Idolatry – in which prospective symbolic heads of state show us from week to week how classy and regal they can be, and everybody gets to phone in their choices (99 cents per vote, to help fund the office)? It makes more sense than what we’ve got. Bob Groeneveld is the editor of The Record’s sister paper, the Langley Advance.

of the fire. “It was so hot.” At first the thermal imaging camera was unable to detect the fire, but as fresh oxygen was introduced from outside, the fire flared up. “They knocked it down. It was in a kitchen/laundry area in the basement,” Joel said. “We figure the thing was really close to really roaring, taking off. It was pretty hot and smoky.” While the fire was confined to the one room in the basement, the rest of the house has smoke damage. One bedroom had been set up for a new baby. “Everything has a thin layer of soot on it,” Joel said. “There was no water introduced up there. The soot gets in and stains everything.” Joel said the family is meeting with
officials from the insurance company regarding the impact of smoke on the home’s contents and family members. “If it had been open floor joists, the damage would have been 10 times, 20 times as much,” he said. “They had granite tiles on the counters, walls, drywall on the wall and ceiling. It was completely finished. It was perfect. It kept it down there.” The cause of the fire is currently undetermined. It is under investigation but isn’t considered suspicious. Prior to the house fire, crews were called to a fence fire on Sixth Avenue. Later, crews on the rescue and safety vehicle were called to Queen’s Park Arena where a member of the Maple Ridge Burrards broke his ankle in a game against the New Westminster Salmonbellies.

Garden: Year-round blooms offer an ever-changing landscape ◗ continued from page 1
Pathways guide visitors through the lush yard. “It is a very easy flowing pathway system,” he said. “In that area of town, the land is sloped. It’s nice.” LeDoux’s vision was to create a garden that made people feel as if they were no longer in the city. A water feature adds to the yard’s ambience. Whether it’s a warm night or cool evening, it’s always nice to sit outside and enjoy the surroundings in LeDoux’s garden. A friend recently remarked how the garden changes over time. “I was really happy,” he said about the feedback. “That was my intention, that it be evolving, changing.” LeDoux, who oversees the city’s famous hanging basket program, has many pots throughout his garden. Like those hanging baskets, LeDoux ensures his own garden has plants that contribute colour and scent. “I have far too many plants in pots. I am always changing things and moving things around,” LeDoux said. “I might buy something in a pot, see how it grows and then put it in the garden.” Perennials, vegetables, berries and annuals have all found a home in the couple’s garden. “I created a garden so it’s blooming year-round,” LeDoux said. “I always have something blooming.” LeDoux uses some annuals in his
garden, as he likes them for their colour. Colour is something that comes from both flowers and foliage. Whether it’s a crocus in the spring or a camellia in the winter, colour is always present in the garden. “It’s fun in our climate,” LeDoux said. You can grow vegetables year round.” LeDoux, one of the coordinators of the local Plant A Row/Grow A Row program that collects donations of produce for the local food bank, is a big proponent of vegetable gardens. Vegetables are even planted along his boulevard, in part to promote the program.
Urban Oases
Favourite plant:
“I really do like heliotrope. I really like the smell and the nice colours. It is a one I plant a lot myself,” he said. “My other favourite is daphne. There are a number of different types. They just smell so heavenly. I have a number of them planted in my garden. They bloom at different times.”
Helpful hint:
“It is really important to be patient. Gardening takes a lot of patience, and it takes a lot of trial and error. Talk to local people. The climates are different,” LeDoux said. “Don’t forget how easy it is to grow vegetables.” If you know of a garden that could be featured in our Urban Oases series, e-mail tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com.

avin Hainsworth and Katherine Freund-Hainsworth may have trouble topping their 19th wedding anniversary. The New Westminster residents usually celebrate their July 14 wedding anniversary by taking a cruise on the MV Native paddlewheeler. When they took to the Fraser River on July 10, some surprises were in store. “The captain of the Native performed a remarriage ceremony. It’s the first time he has ever done that in an official capacity,” Gavin said. “It was a surprise to me.” Katherine had planned the ceremony as an anniversary surprise for Gavin – and even brought along the wedding vows that the couple had read at their 1991 wedding at UBC Botanical Gardens. “It was basically a reaffirmation of the vows,” Gavin said. “He got really into the role and made it very official.” Capt. Doug Leaney officiated over the ceremony on the upper deck. The couple then enjoyed a dance downstairs to Unchained Melody. The renewal of wedding vows wasn’t the only excitement of the night, as staff of Paddlewheeler River Cruises helped rescue two men whose Sea-Doo sank. After pulling the men onboard, staff tied the SeaDoo to the side of the vessel and dropped them off at Brownsville Bar Park where they had started their river adventure. The couple capped off their anniversary night out by attending the outdoor showing of American Graffiti on the waterfront.
Not too late to get a summer job
Local youth still have time to earn a few bucks before heading back to school. The Service Canada Centre for Youth in New Westminster will be open until mid-August, helping local youth find job opportunities in their community. The centre’s staff is also helping employers fill job vacancies by posting openings at no charge. “This is the perfect time for employers and homeowners to hire young people,” said Judy Yuen, youth services officer. “Young people are still available for full-time and part-time positions, as well as casual jobs around the home or business.” The Service Canada Centre has been very active throughout the summer. “So far, we have helped 660 young people improve their job search skills,” said Rachel George, youth services officer. “We have also worked with various community organizations to provide summer job assistance to New Westminster’s young people. It’s been a great summer.” Homeowners or employers interested in using the centre’s services and youth looking for summer employment can visit the New Westminster centre from 8.30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 100-624 Agnes St. For more information, call 604-526-4511 (ext. 550) or e-mail katerina. marta@servicecanada.gc.ca.

More than 30 people attended a recent potluck to celebrate the successful planting of the Mary Mount Community Garden. The July 30 potluck was attended by parishioners of St. Mary the Virgin Church and members of the New Westminster Community Gardening Society. Rev. Georgina Harris welcomed everyone to the parish and noted the garden shows the desire of its parishioners to play a larger role in the community. “On behalf of the community gardening society, I would like to thank St. Mary’s for giving us this chance and I look forward to this partnership lasting for many years,” said David Maidman, a member of the society’s board. The potluck provided a great opportunity for both groups to get to know one another better and to exchange gardening advice.

$1.5 Million
during the month of June for research in the fight against prostate cancer.
Funds raised from the June, 2010 campaign will support scientists and clinicians at the Vancouver Prostate Centre. This team of some of the brightest research minds in Canada has been studying the molecular and cellular events involved in the process whereby cancers become resistant to hormone withdrawal therapy of prostate cancer patients. They have found that a protein called the “androgen receptor” is critical for this type of treatment resistance and that by eliminating this protein they can cause many tumours to die. Recently, they have had an exciting breakthrough discovery of an entirely new class of drugs that can effectively inhibit, and in some cases, eliminate this protein. With the support of Prostate Cancer Canada and Safeway, they can continue to focus exclusively on further developing this promising research. On behalf of the research community, thank you for helping in the fight against prostate cancer.

Place des Arts in Coquitlam is looking for artists for its annual Christmas boutique. The arts centre is seeking artists and artisans who create quality fine art items such as tea cozies, wooden boxes, glass ornaments, silver work, unique pottery, leather products, hand-made soap and other quality handcrafted items.

They came from all over to celebrate Dolores Kirkwood last Sunday. More than 70 people came for the renowned dance teacher’s 80th birthday, held in the backyard of longtime friend and colleague Edwin Harrington. Kirkwood, who is the artistic director of the Royal City Youth Ballet, has had an extensive career as a performer and teacher in New Westminster. She received the Order of British Columbia last September. Kirkwood was very touched to see so many of her former students, some who travelled by plane or boat to come, at the birthday celebration, she said. “What a wonderful happening,” Kirkwood said. “It was unbelievable.

T
he hot weather begs you to relax at a beach or cottage and read a good book. Not something heavy and weighty, but light or gripping that transports you into another world. The library is just the place to start. Whether you like mystery, science fiction, fantasy, horror, historical fiction, adventure, chick lit or biography, come in out of the heat and pick up a paperback. With extended holiday loan, you can return it when the summer is over. Here are some ideas. Canadian writer Louise Penny’s mysteries are set in Three Pines, Que., a fictional, idyllic, small town in the Eastern Townships. Chief Insp. Armand Gamache is a connoisseur of food, poetry and homicidal behaviour, and Penny’s characters are artists, poets, and eccentrics whose joie de vivre usually masks more sinister motives. The scene is set in the first book, Still Life. If you like your mysteries with a bit of fantasy, try Charlaine Harris. Her series starring telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse is peopled with supernatural beings from vampires to fairies and is the basis for the popular TV series True Blood. Starting with Dead until Dark, Harris mixes romance with these paranormal mysteries. Henry VIII’s popularity has taken a leap with the recent TV series The Tudors. Get more insight into Henry, his tumultuous times and his many wives with Philippa Gregory’s books, such as The Other Boleyn Girl (also a movie), and Hilary Mantel’s award-winning Wolf Hall. For adventure, try Wilbur Smith’s novels. Assegai is the latest in the Courtney series and is set in 1913 in British East Africa. Big-game hunter Leon Courtney stumbles upon a plot against the British involving the disenchanted survivors of the Boer War. Sophie Kinsella is always good for a laugh with her Confessions of a Shopaholic series. Who can’t sympathize with Becky Bloomwood, whose passion for shopping gets her into endless trouble but whose good nature and caring personality get her out again?

Discovery Centre busy for festival Fraser River Discovery Centre has a variety of activities planned during this weekend’s FraserFest, organized by the Hyack Festival. On July 17, the Discovery Centre and the Oarlock and Sail Wooden Boat Club launched the 18-foot skiff from the centre’s Build-a-Boat
exhibit. After months of meticulous woodworking, the authentic Fraser River skiff has been deemed to be river-worthy and is being launched into the Fraser River. A boat-naming contest is being held during FraserFest, so people are invited to drop by the centre
and give their suggestions. People are also invited to check out the centre’s two new activity stations. Visitors can uncover stories of the river at the centre’s archeological dig or take action to pollute and clean up the river in a model of the

for it,” Kirkwood said. She is a passionate proponent of the performing arts and how art can build community. “Without the performing arts one doesn’t have a community,” she said. “(The arts) give people strength, give them something beautiful to see and be involved in.” She was the first person on Terry Fox Secondary’s Wall of Fame who was not part of the teaching staff, according to Harrington. Harrington was thrilled her birthday celebration was such a success.
“She’s phenomenal,” he said. “She has this wonderful energy she gives off.” He mentioned one guest who spoke at the tribute, an instructor Kirkwood had recruited from South Africa to teach dance at her studio. The woman was able to escape apartheid and come to B.C., Harrington said. Kirkwood plans to continue her work with the Royal City Youth Ballet. The ballet is running a summer camp at the end of August, she said, and will be holding auditions for the annual Nutcracker performance in September. Kirkwood was named New Westminster’s Citizen of the Year in 1994.

He’s making himself and team better
New West teen overcame life-threatening infection as a child BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
Marco Ballarin has a dream of making the National Hockey League one day. He is fast on his skates, spontaneous and not afraid to go into the dirty areas to give his team the upper hand. Marco is also very fortunate. At the age of three, he was hospitalized for 10 days, including three days in a coma, with bacterial meningitis. Meningitis is an infection of the fluid in the spinal cord and the fluid that surrounds the brain. Bacterial meningitis is much more serious than the viral variety and can cause brain damage and even death. Marco was lucky that his impairment was mainly restricted to a partial loss of hearing. He was diagnosed with bilateral hearing impairment and was fitted with hearing aids. But the young Ballarin never liked wearing them. His mother, Michelle, remembers finding them all over the house in various states of repair. He spent two years at the Vancouver Oral School working on his speech and word pronunciation in preparation for elementary school. By the age of six, he was ready to attend F.W. Howay Elementary in New Westminster full time. At the same time, Marco was taking his first strides on the ice in hockey. It’s a game he loves and has excelled at. Marco has played at the representative level for New Westminster since atom and has captained the peewee and bantam teams as a second-year player.
Larry Wright/THE RECORD
Leading by example: Marco Ballarin, seen here playing on New Westminster’s midget A2 team against Semiahmoo, is also an accomplished lacrosse player But it wasn’t always that way. Along the way, there were certain individuals who felt Marco’s hearing impairment might be a liability if he continued to play sports. His parents dealt with that side of the issue, while leaving their middle offspring to his sports. But intuitively, Marco had already guessed what the concern was all about. “It kind of made me feel I
shouldn’t play and yeah, stuff like that. But I just kept it to myself. I kept thinking about it, and then just kept on playing,” said Marco. He got the support he needed from coaches like Jessie Leung, who was his coach in New Westminster hockey for three seasons. “(Leung) taught me better position, and how to be a role model for the team, like staying positive and not getting down on my
teammates,” Marco said. It is those leadership skills that Leung hoped to nuture in the young talented skater. “I saw a kid who wanted to do everything for his team. He wanted to do that to see his team succeed,” said Leung. The two first met when Marco was just 10 years of age and enrolled in a power skating program at Moody Park Arena. Leung was made aware of Ballarin’s impairment, but otherwise had not noticed it. “He has found ways to get around it and cope with it,” Leung added. Marco is now going into his junior year at Burnaby North Secondary, in order to attend the hockey academy at the school. As a first-year rep, Marco was on the team’s second or third lines. But by the second year, he was on the top forward line. Marco has both the skill, speed and the determination to go into the corners to win the puck. “He’s like a junkyard dog,” said Leung. “He’s an exceptional player, great to coach and a joy to watch.” The 15-year-old hopes to make New Westminster’s AA midget team this fall, in anticipation of bigger and better things as juniorage hockey quickly approaches. Not long ago, Marco took up the game lacrosse as a peewee and has been on an A team for the past three seasons, including as an assistant captain of the A2 midget team this year. “He’s our team leader,” said A2 lacrosse head coach Dirk Rachfall, who was unaware of Marco’s impairment. “When he’s out of our lineup for whatever reason we surely miss him.” A case in point was during the pre-provincial midget A2 playdowns against Coquitlam. ◗Leader Page 20
B.C. plays for bronze at Canada Cup Stephen Spagnuolo of Burnaby led Team British Columbia in rushing in an opening day win over Ontario East at the 2010 Under-18 Football Canada Cup in Wolfville, Nova Scotia last Sunday. B.C. defeated Eastern Ontario 27-18, following a three-touchdown comeback in the second half of play to advance to the under-18 semifinal at Acadia University. Spagnuolo, the B.C. offensive player of the year from Notre Dame Regional school, ran for 81 yards on 12 carries and rambled for 143 all-purpose yards, including 62 yards on two kickoff returns in the win. New Westminster linebacker Casey Chin, a provincial AAA varsity allstar last season, had two solo tackles on defence for B.C. On Wednesday, Spagnuolo was named offensive player of the game for B.C. following a 33-2 loss to Saskatchewan in a semifinal matchup. B.C.’s only score was a safety touch conceded by Saskatchewan in the third quarter of play. B.C. will play host Nova Scotia in the bronze-medal game on Saturday. Nova Scotia was beaten 31-0 by Quebec. Saskatchewan and Quebec will play for gold.
Giro di Burnaby on road back to Superweek B.C. Superweek will have a third jewel in its crown in 2011. The highly popular and competitive cycling criterium – the Giro di Burnaby – will be making its return to the streets of Burnaby Heights next year as part of the Superweek series that also has stops in Surrey and Delta. Many of Superweek’s top riders are excited to welcome back the popular Giro di Burnaby for 2011, pushing the total number of races to seven for next summer, and the total purse to $55,000, making it one of Canada’s biggest weeks of bike racing. The Giro di Burnaby, a fastpaced evening criterium through Burnaby Heights, will take place in the middle of B.C. Superweek – between the $25,000, three-race
Tour de Delta and the $15,000, three-race Tour de White Rock. The Giro di Burnaby, which ran from 2006 to 2008 before running into funding problems, has a minimum three-year commitment through 2013, with a purse of at least $15,000, thanks to renewed title sponsorship from local businesses Embassy Development, Appia Development and Palladio Jewellers. Andrew Pinfold, a longtime pro from North Vancouver, who now rides for U.S.-based United Healthcare Pro Cycling, was excited to hear the news – and not just because he finally gets to defend his 2008 Giro di Burnaby title. “This is awesome news,” said Pinfold. “Having a race midweek
between Delta and White Rock anchors the series as it makes B.C. Superweek even more attractive for professional teams to send riders up for the entire series.” Pinfold hopes the return of the popular Burnaby race will spur on others to add races – and lead to another rebirth of the prestigious Tour de Gastown, a race that listed Lance Armstrong among its alumni before folding in 2008. “This proves that bike racing is as popular as ever in the Lower Mainland and I hope encourages other municipalities to put on races,” he said. “With the addition of Burnaby there are still three nights available for races. I think everyone would love to see a return of
Gastown, and perhaps a race on the North Shore or Kitsilano.” Born from the idea of Burnaby councilor Pietro Calendino, the Giro Di Burnaby – named as a tribute to the area’s Italian community and to the world famous Giro d’Italia – made its debut in 2006, attracting 7,000 spectators to the historic area of Hastings Street known as Burnaby Heights. The following year, it joined the B.C. Superweek series, attracting more than 200 riders to the next two races, and producing a list of winners that includes some of North America’s best. In addition to Pinfold, there was 2006 U.S. criterium champion Hilton Clarke, three-time U.S. champion Kirk O’Bee, Canadian Olympian Gina Grain, and future
U.S. Olympian Kelly Benjamin, who have all won at the Giro di Burnaby. “The Giro and B.C. Superweek races are not only embraced by their communities, the public and the businesses, they have become wonderful annual events that bring out big crowds and support for the racers,” said Giro di Burnaby organizer Rainy Kent. “The Giro is a celebration of exceptional athletic talent, community involvement and spirit, and we are delighted to be back on the race calendar for 2011.” The 2010 B.C. Superweek continues with the 31st Tour de White Rock this weekend, with the hill climb on Friday night, the criterium on Saturday, and the road race on Sunday.

Intercollegiate Clan to make Copeland home BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
The Simon Fraser University men’s hockey program will be calling the Bill Copeland Sports Centre home this season. The Clan, which will play a 16-game home schedule at the 2,000-seat arena, plays in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League. “This move coincides with a period of tremendous growth for our program,” said SFU general manager Jeff Dubois in a school press release. “The fact that a number of WHL (Western Hockey League) and BCHL (B.C. Hockey League) graduates have committed to join our team this fall illustrates the high level of university hockey that will be played at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre this season.” SFU is the reigning intercollegiate league champions.

Leader: ‘It’s nice to be around the ice’ ◗ continued from page 19
He missed Game 1 because of hockey commitments in Whistler, and the team lost 7-1. With him in the lineup for Game 2, New Westminster narrowly lost 6-5 while Marco contributed two goals to the effort. “I’ve been doing pretty good,” Marco said. “I’m a bit nicer to my teammates, and I don’t really complain to my coach as much as I used to. I just deal with it and play past it.” Marco is also involved in hockey as an
on-ice official. Last season, Marco and his older brother Nico were both recipients of referee awards handed out by their home association. Marco won a referee development award for one week of free referee schooling at a camp in Osoyoos. He also helps Leung coach a peewee spring hockey team. “It’s just nice to be around the ice,” Marco said.

1031 HARRISON, George
November 12, 1925 - July 2, 2010 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George Harrison, born in Lesmahagow, Scotland but resided in Burnaby for the last 45 years. He will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by his wife of 61 years, Vera, children Glenn (Deborah), Kathy (Wade), Paul (Kristin), grandchildren Brent, Natalie, Karilyn, Holly, and many more friends and relatives. George loved sports, especially golf. He was a Life Member of Burnaby Mountain Senior Men’s Golf Club. He was a man with strong family values and will be missed for his kindness, caring, and good sense of humour. We would like to thank the dedicated Palliative Care staff at Burnaby Hospital for their sensitivity and caring of George. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Burnaby Mountain Golf Course, 7600 Halifax Street, Burnaby on Sunday, July 25, 2010 from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations in George’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society are appreciated.
TAYLOR, Helen
Passed away suddenly in Vancouver, BC on July 8, 2010 at the age of 91. Predeceased by her husband Alan, her son Kelly, and grandson Douglas. She is survived by her sons David (Beverly) of North Vancouver, Harry (Verna) of Burnaby and Blake (Nicky) of Nanaimo. She will be missed by her sister Pearl of Calgary, and sisters-in-law Gladys of Abbotsford and Annabelle of Ontario. She will be greatly missed by her five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She will also be missed by her many friends and the caring staff at the Salvation Army Southview Terrace retirement home. A special thanks to Dr. Constant Leung who cared for both Helen and her late husband Alan. Helen was a caring mom and grandmother and we will all miss her. No service by request.
Patricia Mary Westlake (Wright) December 29, 1927 – July 7, 2010
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Pat Westlake. Pat was predeceased by her husband Gordon (1986) and is survived by her daughter Carol (Len), grandson David, granddaughter Sarah, and her nieces and their families. Pat had a wonderful group of friends that include Chris Black, her closest and dearest friend, Margo Mudry, Elsie Anderson, Marlene Barnes and Irene Dennis. Pat and the ladies spent countless hours at the Vancouver Playhouse, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Massey Theatre and Century House. Pat also took joy in league bowling, relaxing in Comox, watching Canucks games and traveling. Pat grew up in Vancouver and worked for Woodward’s; she spent many years in Burnaby before moving to New Westminster in 1990 where she enjoyed her retirement. Pat was interred at Forest Lawn in Burnaby following a private burial service. We would like to extend our gratitude to the doctors, nurses and staff at VGH that treated Pat, to the staff at Sunrise Senior Living for their wonderful care and to Tish and Sophie for all their visits. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society of BC at 300- 828 West 8th Avenue, Vancouver, BC V5Z1E2. Irish Blessing: May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

CAREER COACH What's Your Story?
As a career coach and counsellor I get to hear a lot of people’s stories - stories about their lives, work, and upbringing; their successes and perceived failures; and their triumphs and challenges. I’m amazed at the vast array of experiences people have had and how have come to interpret and understand these Gregg Taylor they experiences. What is most intriguing is the meaning that each of these stories carry and how they impact the person, their life and their choices. For example, for one person a story of trials and challenges has become a story representing failure and difficulty, while for another person with similar life events the story is one of perseverance and victory or the support and care of others. This difference in interpretation and how we perceive our lives and our experiences will have a huge impact on the language we use to talk about ourselves (our story), how people perceive and interact with us, and the choices we make. We tend to define ourselves by our ‘story’ - for better or worse – either allowing for opportunity and possibilities, or limitation and discouragement. So what is the story you tell people about yourself? And more importantly, what is the story you tell yourself? Have you had a series of challenges and failures that have now clouded your sense of self and, in turn, what is now possible for you? Over the years, in order to deal with personal issues and past hurts have you had to focus on painful memories and circumstances to the point that they have become the focal point of your life story? Has one bad incident, experience or decision now tainted or overshadowed what was before a positive and uplifting story? I’m fortunate in my work to support people as they re-evaluate and reinterpret their life and career stories and as they begin writing the next chapter of their lives from a perspective of choice and freedom. So what’s your story, and how will the next chapter read?

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: A truly romantic month begins July 22. Two years of slow slogging in work end, but your relationships begin a two-year phase of sobriety and “slow movement.” Now to late 2012, if you take an antagonistic approach the best you’ll win is freedom; you’ll lose in most else. Until October 2012, these do not work: chasing love for ego reasons, seeking recognition, fame, trying to optimistically sell to new clients. These do work: loyalty (e.g., old clients, present spouses) romance with other generations, career partnerships, cooperation. Tuesday night: understanding brings joy!
6030
Cancer June 21-July 22: Chase romance, pleasure, beauty and creative or sports success Sunday to Tuesday – you’ll ride a winning streak! Jobs begun Tuesday night will succeed. Thursday begins a productive four-week phase of earnings, spending, memory and other possessions. But this week also begins 26 months of increased responsibility in domestic arenas, with kids, property, security, nutrition and all foundational concerns. You’ll have to work harder at these, and you might decide to let go of some situations (or relationships) that are just too much work. This week’s “career partnership” idea won’t work. Wait.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: No fireworks, but this week is a turning point. Now to October 2012, you will be more sober, practical, no-nonsense. You will be determined to put your life on a sound foundation, especially in real estate, family and similar areas. Yes, retirement’s coming! You’ll do this slowly and carefully. A major or basic change might be involved: e.g., relocation. Relationships need to be looked at. If you’ve been a party type, that ends for two years. Thursday starts a month of travel, talk, friends, errands. Be curious! DON’T start a relationship or negotiations this week; one might end.
Taurus April 20-May 20: Remain flexible, curious, restless and talkative until mid-week. You could obtain a last-minute agreement Sunday-Tuesday. Secrets, investments, intimacy, lifestyle choices are important and fortunate Tuesday eve/night. But be cautious with these Wednesday/Thursday. Thursday begins a month of home-related, security, family, property and similar themes (gardening, landscaping, nutrition, kid’s welfare, etc.) This week also begins 26 months of slowness in work, employment, machinery and health zones. Kids will be more work. Rewards come from hard work. Avoid lawsuits. You’ll be fine!
Leo July 23-Aug. 22:You travel a lucky money streak (to Aug. 6) so take advantage, buy luxury items, ask for a pay raise, negotiate a deal, etc. DON’T overspend. Money can flow through you like water, and you could end up poorer, despite taking more in! (If you’re into self-knowledge, look at the underlying reasons: Guilt? Lack of optimism?) Your weeks of weariness end Thursday, when a month of energy, charisma, effectiveness and clout begin! However, this isn’t a good week to start major projects. A romantic notion ends. The two years ahead slow communications, yet make this a fertile employment field.
Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Mellow yields to functional. Thursday ends weeks of fairly relaxed pondering, love, cultural pursuits, understanding and begins a month of ambition, prestige and career effort. Dress well, be prepared to meet bosses, higher-ups. But don’t start any work projects yet – wait until next week. This week ends two years of restricted socializing. Now to October 2012 you’ll meet fairly easy progress in many areas. However, dealings with government agencies, institutions and head office might be burdensome – more red tape, more communication levels with which to deal: effort needed.
Gemini May 21-June 20: Thursday begins a fourweek period of heightened communications, travel, restlessness and casual friendships. You’ll generally love this time. Be curious, ask questions, go exploring, open newspapers. Now to October 2012, your loves and pleasures meet sobriety. Romance, hobbies, sports, risk-taking, creative projects and the pursuit of pleasure – all become harder, slower. But this area can succeed if you’re prepared to be responsible and loyal. Romance could flower with an older or younger person. You’ll succeed in research, investments, sex and health. This week’s future plan is wrong.
Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Every party must end, every high note yield to a quieter one. Have your fun (and travel, contact people) Sunday to Tuesday. Be domestic, rest up mid-week. (Real estate, kids’ savings plans are lucky Tuesday night.) Thursday begins a month of quietude, rest and retreat. However, a bunch of social influences will keep you interactive: your graciousness will continue; but your smouldering sexuality will yield to talkativeness. Still, get your rest. Contemplate, plan, do charitable things, deal with government agencies. DO NOT invest, change your life, or “start sex” this week.
Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Lie low, work in the background Sunday to Tuesday. Think about your future, and how to get there. Your energy returns Tuesday eve to Thursday – but this is not a good week to start any project – or romance. Work on what’s already started, on research, finances, health, intimacy and safety. Thursday begins a month of mellow love and understanding, intellectual prowess, higher education, far travel, cultural involvements. Two years of hard career burdens end now; but two years of sober social activity begin, involving other generations or money (e.g., take the boss golfing).
July 18 - 24 Capricorn Dec.22-Jan.19: Relationships move from centre-stage to “under-stage” – they begin to operate secretly, subconsciously, or intimately. In business, you move from negotiation to actual funding. You bond more deeply, or break apart.This, for the month ahead. The present week brings another turning point: two years of philosophical outlook, of learning or studying situations, ends. A two-year career, ambition, prestige and status phase, the most important in 30 years, begins. Live up to it! Start nothing this week except a security or realty deal. Happiness, Sunday-Tuesday! Power, energy late week. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: At last, a month of weariness and drudgery ends – so do two years of financial restrictions! The weeks ahead bring fresh horizons, competition, opportunities, fights and loves, negotiation and litigation. The rancour and intensity of last winter and spring has fled, so if you’re in a fight, it’s possible to work out a deal; if you don’t, August/September could bring a lawsuit, a long, dreary, unprofitable one. If you aren’t fighting, the weeks ahead bring exciting meetings, intimate affections, sweet whispers. Careful with your speech this week: stray words return to bite. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The past two years have brought restrictions, even disappointment in relationships. If you’ve succeeded, found love or fine partners, healed bonds, it has only come through hard work. Now, this phase ends. The two years ahead (to October 2012) transfer this need for “hard work” to your sexual and financial spheres. You can truly achieve your dreams in these areas – if you work hard to that end. Nothing comes of nothing. The month ahead features work, heath and machines. Be wise Sunday-Tuesday, ambitious mid-week, social Friday/ Saturday. Don’t spend big, nor start a money project. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
