Donnelly blasts feds
City politicians say changes to census process will impact planning and services BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com
NDP Member of Parliament Fin Donnelly and city councillor Bill Harper are sounding the alarm over the federal government’s proposed changes to the mandatory long form census in the wake of the resignation of Statistics Canada chief Munir Sheikh. The two believe changing the census to a voluntary process would cause irreparable harm to the federal agency. “The long form census collects important information used by all levels of government, on issues such as affordable housing, health care, public transit and other essential services”, said Donnelly. “As a former city councillor and now as a Member of Parliament, I recognize the importance this data has in informing governance deci◗OUR VIEW sions at both the federal and local It’s time for the Prime levels.” Minister to admit the cenSheikh sus plan is a mistake and resigned July fix it. See page 6 21 over the contentious changes to StatsCan by the Harper government announced at the end of June. The move has been met with criticism from community and religious groups, think-tanks and academics, who worry results will skew municipal, provincial and federal funding allocations which use the census to determine population needs. “The City of New Westminster relies heavily on statistics for planning purposes, allocation of funds and determination of services,” said Coun. Harper. “Scrapping the mandatory long form census will impede our ability to properly conduct city business.” In an effort to find out what led to the controversial change, the Official Oppostion filed a request under the Access to Information Act last week to receive all documents relating to the Conservatives’ decision.

Inspired swim: Elise Niessen of New Westminster is raising money to help babies with serious health conditions. She’ll be doing laps at the Canada Games Pool.
Doing laps for the babies BY JENNIFER MOREAU REPORTER jmoreau@royalcityrecord.com
New Westminster resident Elise Niessen is planning a four-hour stretch of laps in the pool to raise money for babies born premature or with serious health conditions. Inspired by her cousin’s baby, who was born with holes in her heart, the Burnaby lifeguard decided to do something to help. “She’s my inspiration,” said Niessen. “What better way to support our community by helping out the next genera-

Niessen is hoping to raise $2,500 for the neonatal intensive care unit at B.C. Children’s Hospital. She’s already raised $1,275, thanks to family and friends who’ve supported the cause. Niessen’s confident she can handle four hours of laps in the pool. “I’ve never swum for four hours, not since I was 12,” she said. “I’m not

Small is beautiful A city patio harbours a jungle BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
A local couple’s patio garden is a quiet retreat in the city and an endless source of fun. After downsizing from a house to an apartment, it was only natural that Maryann Wadge would have a patio garden. “I just started it when I lived in my house. It got bigger and bigger every year,” she said. “It was a challenge to grow in all the different areas.” Now that she lives in an apartment, Wadge doesn’t have to worry about dealing with shadey areas or sunny areas. “We don’t get a lot of sun,” she noted. “We have shade plants – we struggle with that.” Despite its limited sun, the patio is bursting with colour. “It gets bigger and bigger every year. You name it, we have it,” she said. “It’s really quite lovely.” Passersby remark that the patio looks like a forest because of its abundance of plants. The plants also provide privacy for the ground-level patio garden. “It’s amazing how many people come by and say it makes their days,” Wadge said. “It’s pretty. Everybody here just loves it.” The patio provides a tranquil place to sit, just steps away from New Westminster’s bustling uptown commercial district. “We have fountains, we have an aquarium, and we have a bird bath. We get these tiny little finches,” Wadge said. “We have a butterfly bush – we get butterflies.”
Although the patio only get sun later in the afternoon, many plants do very well. Wadge dries the herbs that grow on her patio. “I make mint tea, lemon balm tea,” she said. “I have about 10 different herbs I dry and use during the year.” Each year, the patio brings something new and often something unexpected. “We have a new petunia this year that apparently just came out,” Wadge said. “There are some things we don’t know what they are.” ◗Patio Page 8

Theatre Society says it’s looking forward to public consultation BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com
Some members of the Massey Theatre Society are cautiously optimistic about the proposed plan to replace the historic theatre with a new regional performing arts centre as part of the New Westminster Secondary School replacement project. The community theatre group say they look forward to the public consultation process that will follow the announcement made July 20 by the city and the school board regarding the intention to bring a new theatre to the area. “There’s no doubt it is good
news to hear that our community leaders intend to invest in the performing arts on a large scale for the long term,” said executive director Jessica Schneider. “The question is, how do we make sure the community ultimately gets the theatre it needs and an operational model that will sustain it for the long term?” The chair of the theatre society, Michael Redmond, who told The Record last week he didn’t see the need for a new theatre, said he nonetheless looks forward to making sure the city and school district get the necessary guidance from theatre professionals “in order to facilitate the conditions required to
achieve a successful outcome.” The Massey currently costs around $600,000 a year to run and the new theatre would be starting up with little to no revenue, he said. “Not just any theatre will replace the Massey Theatre,” said Redmond. “We’ll have to look at the costs of replacement versus renewal and have an honest discussion with the community about those values.” There are a number of concerns the society say need to be addressed. Along with construction costs, they say operational, governance and fundraising issues will need to be ironed out in order to minimize ongoing costs to the city.

◗ CRIME IN BRIEF
Police charge woman in 2009 homicide BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com
The Vancouver Police Department announced on July 29 the arrest of a 52year-old woman who has been charged with the January, 2009 death of a 65-yearold New Westminster man. Nirmala Arjun, 52, was arrested at her home in Vancouver and charged with second-degree murder in the death of William Canning 18 months ago. According to Vancouver police detectives, Arjun and Canning knew each other. Canning was found in a suite in the 2100-block of Cassiar Street early on the morning of Jan. 29, 2009. After Canning’s body was discovered, Vancouver police canvassed the neighbourhood and told the public “there is no danger to the other people in the community.”
Man faces attempted murder charge
A 22-year-old New Westminster man is in custody and facing an attempted murder charge after an early-morning stabbing on July 25 in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
At about 1:30 a.m., a Vancouver police officer who was driving through the intersection of Main and East Hastings streets saw an injured man laying in the street and stopped. The 37-year-old Vancouver man had been stabbed in the chest and had no pulse. Police performed CPR on the scene, and the man was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery. As of Monday morning, the man was in critical condition. When police started canvassing the area, they located the Royal City man in the 600-block of Quebec Street. Yaseen Muzzamill Williams appeared in provincial court this week.
Fire being investigated
New Westminster police and fire personnel were kept busy early on the morning of July 24 dealing with an apartment fire at 352 Hospital St. Just before 1 a.m., the fire department received a report about a blaze in the apartment near the Royal Columbian Hospital While the police closed off neighbouring suites, firefighters fought the fire, which was in a corner suite on the top
Eyes in sky help nab suspect in Surrey. Air 1 was quickly dispatched to provide overhead surveillance and the helicopter followed the duo into Newton and Whalley, where the female passenger was dropped off. The male driver then continued over the Pattullo Bridge into New Westminster where he unsuccessfully attempted to U-turn the motorcycle on McBride Boulevard near Queen’s Park.
The man dumped the bike and fled on foot while trying to throw away his shoulder pack. The suspect was arrested a short distance away without incident, and a search of the shoulder pack revealed that the suspect was in possession of a loaded handgun that had been reported stolen this past April in a residential break-and-enter in Surrey. The 34-year-old man is facing numerous charges.
Counterfeit bills and drugs seized after SkyTrain fight
An 18-year-old man is facing charges of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking and possession of counterfeit money after being arrested on July 21 at the Royal Oak SkyTrain station. The incident began in New Westminster when police received a report of a man fleeing from a fight at the Columbia Street SkyTrain station. He was soon recognized by Transit Police at the Royal Oak station, who con-
fronted the man. During the subsequent search of the man, police discovered $11,900 of freshly printed counterfeit $100 dollar bills. In addition, 12 small bags of drugs believed to be heroin were also seized by the police.
Man refuses to come out
A 62-year-old man was taken into police custody after barricading himself in a New Westminster apartment for more than seven hours on July 22. Just after 10 a.m., New Westminster police officers, along with a court bailiff, were trying to carry out a court order on the man in a Clute Street apartment, just off of McBride Boulevard. The man refused to answer the door, even though he acknowledged the police and bailiff were attempting to execute the court order. The man barricaded himself inside the apartment and even when the police were able to enter the unit, he locked himself inside another room in the apartment. The police then summoned the municipal emergency response team, who used negotiators to coax the man out of the room just before 5:30 p.m.

Members of the police service’s victim services unit helped people in the apartment complex who were displaced by the fire find temporary accommodation. According to a press release from the police service, the major crime unit was investigating the cause of the fire. “An initial investigation has been conducted by the police service and although the investigation continues, there is at this time no indication the fire is suspicious in nature,” said media spokesperson Const.

Gay Pride week full of fun BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

This city’s first-ever Gay Pride event kicks off this week with lots of fun and frivolity to celebrate diversity. For Royal City Pride Society president Guy Dubé, owner of the Coming Home Café on Sixth Street, Pride is a way to celebrate “inclusivity” in New Westminster. “It’s basically, ‘Hey, the queers are putting on a party, and we just want to share it with you,’” he told The Record recently.

OUR VIEW
It makes sense. Now, for the average taxpayer, it may seem like an arcane battle, and many would probably be delighted to not have to fill in the long form. But those same folks may not be so delighted when government makes decisions on flimsy data and they end up with less services – or worse, services placed in areas for political purposes and not based on facts. Making the census long form voluntary will ensure that some individuals
will simply not be represented in the data. And to make decisions without that information is just plain dumb, as SFU statistics professor Carl Schwarz says, “Making decisions with poor data is worse than making decisions with no data. If you’ve got poor data, you make decisions with this aura of respectability that just isn’t there.” Having accurate and representative information on Canadians is fundamental to crafting good future policies.

Devil in the details for Massey
Dear Editor:
There has certainly been a euphoric mad dash by representatives of the New Westminster arts community to jump on board the new Massey Theatre bandwagon; stopping only long enough to aim a few potshots at the limitations of the old Massey Theatre. But before we get too carried away, we need to remember that the devil is always in the details. This is not going to be a repeat of the closing of the old Hotel Vancouver and the opening of the new Hotel Vancouver in 1939, where the staff simply closed one, crossed the street and opened the other. What has been overlooked is that when the old 1,250-plus seat Massey closes, it will be almost three years before the spanking new, 1,000-seat new Massey opens.
In the interim, the arts community will have to suffice with the 400-seat multipurpose theatre in the new civic centre at the corner of Eighth Street and Columbia Street. We are talking about a facility that is being funded primarily as a site for conventions, conferences and banquets, which happens to possess the ability to be converted into a theatre by the use of a series of risers that project from the wall, upon which loose metal chairs can be placed. As vice-president of the New Westminster Symphony Society, I will have the dubious honour of informing the musicians this fall that in three years, they will likely be playing in a facility with questionable acoustics, seating that will barely accommodate our poorest concert attendance figures, with limited underground parking – likely pay parking, which no one ever had to be concerned

about at Massey – and for a period of three years. I don’t look forward to that conversation, and I am sure that many of the other groups that currently utilize Massey will also find the interregnum to be just as unappetizing. I applaud the work that the city, school board and Ministry of Education have put into devising a plan that would provide us with a suitable replacement for the old Massey Theatre, but there remains much work to do to reduce the down time from two to three years to something that we can all not only live with, but survive through. Where there is a concerted will, there is a way that the construction of the new Massey Theatre can proceed in advance of the closing of the old Massey, and we must make certain that the city and school board is aware that the current plans are still not good enough.

Incinerator bad for city
Dear Editor:
Re: Mayor OK with incinerator in New West, The Record, July 24. I was shocked to read that the city is open to allowing an incinerator to be built in our New Westminster. The incinerator may be state-of-the-art technology to reduce pollution but surely that will be offset by the pollution caused by the many garbage trucks that will be driving through New Westminster to reach the incinerator. Traffic congestion, noise pollution and air pollution will be increased dramatically. I can see why the other municipalities have said no. They have obviously done
Barack Obama rode this theme straight to the White House and dozens of other politicians have as well, most notably John F. Kennedy. The messianic political ideal goes back to the absurd myth made about George Washington and the other American founding fathers. Compare the stories they tell about Washington – an impossibly honest war hero – with the stories we

their homework and are not prepared to accept that there will be no pollution. New Westminster needs to take another serious look and vote no. We have had trucks and trains passing through New Westminster for years creating pollution. Enough is enough. We have our share of pollution and traffic congestion. It is time to say no.

No HST for grandson Dear Editor:
My grandson is 14 and well-built, wearing a size large in tops and pants, and because of his age, has always had the no tax taken off his bill – that is until the HST came into effect. Last week, his mom and him went shopping for more clothes, and she was told that he had to pay full price because he is classified as wearing adult sizes in the clothes. He is not an adult – he is a kid of 14. I don’t care how big you are, or how small your build is, when it says no tax for kids clothes, 14 and under, that’s what it should be. To me, he is being penalized for being his size, and I think that is insulting to him and others who are now paying all the taxes on their clothes. It is the same as him buying shoes. He is a size eight. Again, he must pay adult prices with no tax removed. This is also done on personal items as well. I think this is really unacceptable how this store has set its own views on how your child must look to be exempted for paying taxes. I’m sure he is not the only one that has had this problem, but, to me, it is purely ignorant and deplorable. Sandy Chartier, by e-mail
Politicians: No messiahs here ◗ continued from page 6
type
remember about John A. MacDonald. A functional alcoholic who could even turn public vomiting into an insult to his opponents, he pushed through the railroad that joined Eastern and Western Canada. He took bribes and was drummed out of office. He was witty and cynical in political life but cared deeply for a handicapped daughter – insisting that she not be shut away in private, as was all too common in his time.
MacDonald is a recognizable human being. It was his flaws, as much as his virtues, that shaped Canadian politics as a place not made for saints or heroes. Canadians, by and large, don’t believe in a special, sacred destiny for this country. They don’t believe in political saviours. Please, let’s keep it that way.

Patio: Size doesn’t limit pleasure in this pocket-sized city garden ◗ continued from page 3
A wee plant that appeared out of nowhere is now about six feet tall. It was recently identified as witch hazel tree. “It just appeared,” Wadge said. Having retired in July 2009, Wadge gets tremendous enjoyment from her garden and from the pleasure it brings others. “We meet people. They will come over,” she said about the patio that’s situated at the front of her apartment building. “It is quite the gathering place.” While Wadge enjoys gardening, she said partner Kevin Gilbraith is devoted to their patio garden. “He has always had English gardens. He tries to have the garden going all year round,” she said. “He is the one who really has the green thumb. I help him. He likes to experiment. He does all the watering. We are lucky – there is a hose at
the side of the apartment.” In addition to being a social activity at home, the garden is an ongoing source of fun when the couple is out and about. A shovel and a pail are kept in the car for those occasions when they spot a must-have item for their garden. “We will pick pods off plants if we see something interesting,” Wadge said. “We have dug up wildflowers if we see something different.” Wadge doesn’t take things from people’s gardens without asking but said people are often proud of their plants and willing to part with a small plant if they have others growing. A grandmother of six, Wadge’s grandchildren enjoy gardening and searching for new items for her garden and aquarium. “It’s a lot of fun,” she said. “The grandchildren love it.”
“My wisteria. I have had it for 10 years. I just love it. I planted it when I moved in. It has great coverage. It is really pretty,” she said. “I am hoping it flowers one year.”
Helpful hint:
“We don’t use any pesticides. We get different recipes that are organic for the different plants. Everything is organic,” she said. “If we find ladybugs we will bring them home and release them in the garden.”

Developers seek OK Applicant wants to rezone property to allow subdivision BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
A 15-unit residential development is being proposed for the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood. Council has received a preliminary report about a proposed rezoning of 1016, 1020 and 1022 Fourth Ave. An applicant is proposing to rezone the property to allow subdivision into five lots and allow a triplex on each of the new lots. Each of the five buildings would have three units but would appear to be a single-detached unit from the street. The two- and three-bedroom homes would be strata units. Coun. Betty McIntosh expressed concern that only one parking space is being proposed for each unit, suggesting people
buying two- and three-bedroom homes may have more than one vehicle. “It causes neighbourhood conflict,” she said. “I had to flag that.”
Forty-six units proposed
Forty-six residential units are being proposed in a development near Stewardson Way. An applicant is proposing to rezone 428 and 431 13th St., 1305 Cariboo St., and 1308 Fifth Ave. in order to build a four-storey apartment building with 39 units and three one-level townhouse units. The project also includes a separate building with four two-level townhouse units. Council has received a preliminary report about the application. Staff will review the proposal and report back to council once the architectural and technical reviews related to the project are done.
City police to investigate Van officer
Members of the New Westminster Police Service will be conducting the investigation into the conduct of a Vancouver Police Department constable who was involved in a June 9 incident in which a woman with multiple sclerosis was pushed to the ground on Hastings Street in Vancouver. The incident was caught on surveillance video footage and shows three officers walking up Hastings Street when the woman is pushed to the ground as she tries to pass them.
The officer alleged to have pushed the woman has now been reassigned, pending the outcome of the investigation. The investigation will also look into the actions of the other two officers who didn’t help the woman after she fell. The names of the officers have not been released. The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner has also been advised that the New Westminster Police will be assuming this investigation. editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Walk for mental health I
f you’re aiming to do more running or walking – or would like to help support mental health – a local group may have just the thing for you. The Simon Fraser branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association has launched a run and walk group that will support physical activity among its clients. Anyone is welcome to join the group, which will encourage longterm physical wellness. “It’s open to the community,” said Madeleine Hawkins, logistics coordinator for the association’s Simon Fraser branch. “It’s probably going to be once a week or biweekly.” The group got underway on July 23, but people are welcome to join at any time. One of its goals is to support the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Miles for Mental Health run that’s set to take place in May 2011. “The big run is to raise awareness and funds for mental health, particularly mental health challenges that occur in our community,” Hawkins said. “The run and walk group is really to encourage and inspire people to get involved, providing weekly or biweekly incentives to get involved.” The run and walk group will continue on a biweekly basis in the lead-up to next year’s charity run. Different groups will be doing different distances and paces, according to the preferences of the group. Hawkins notes there will be at least one group of runners and one of walkers – who may move up to the running group at any time. For more information about the Simon Fraser branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association’s new run and walk club, or its Miles for Mental Health run/walk, contact Madeleine at ◗Around Page 13

Program connects newcomers City’s immigrant mentorship program sends 25 new grads into the community BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
Twenty-five people participated in the New Westminster community immigrant mentorship program’s inaugural class. In response to the Royal City’s increasing cultural diversity, the New Westminster community immigrant mentorship program began offering newcomers opportunities to understand and participate in community and civic life. The program started in January 2010 and the Class of 2010 completed the program in June. “This program has provided weekly workshops which have enabled its participants to learn about local resources, build relationships and learn about the benefits of volunteerism,” said Sheila Resels, coordinator at Family Services of Greater Vancouver.
“In addition to the weekly sessions, each newcomer (or mentee) was paired with a mentor, who was a more established immigrant. This enabled them to receive one-on-one support and helped them take significant steps toward reaching their full potential as active community members.” Census information indicates that 40.1 per cent of New Westminster’s immigrants are recent immigrants. Marina Hagus, an immigrant from the Philippines who mentored a couple from Taiwan, said her two mentees gained a lot during the program. “Their knowledge of Canadian culture, laws, community resources has improved,” she said in a press release. “Their communication skills have greatly improved and, most importantly, their level of confidence has improved tremendously. I believe they will become involved with this program with the new set of mentees starting in October, but this time as mentors. They want to give back to other newcomers. I also want to return in October and volun-
teer as a mentor. I have found it to be most rewarding.” Mei Zhang, a mentee among the Class of 2010 graduates, is originally from China. She believes the program is very useful for immigrants. “It is just like opening a new door for newcomers to let them know that there are lots of enthusiastic hands to help and support them,” she said. Several of the graduating mentees want to give back to their new community and plan on becoming mentors with the new batch of newcomers who will take part in the program starting in the fall. According to Family Services of Greater Vancouver, the 25 newcomers who enrolled in this six-month training and mentorship program came from countries including Iran, Taiwan, Columbia, Ethiopia, Turkey, Indonesia, China, Iraq, India and Japan. They, in turn, shared the information and knowledge they had acquired with

of Canadian residency; 46.8 per cent of immigrants speak a language other than English; and 3.17 per cent of the population reports having aboriginal identity. A survey done in 2007 showed that new immigrants and refugees face a number of challenges, including finding suitable employment, learning a new language, locating adequate housing, securing child care, adapting to a new culture and values, and dealing with incidences of discrimination and racism. Local groups have been working together to find ways to help make New Westminster a more welcoming and inclusive community. New Westminster received provincial funding for a number of projects aimed at creating a welcoming community, including: the immigrant mentorship program; a program that will see ambassadors greeting and welcoming newcomers and providing them with information about life in New Westminster; a newcomers’ guide providing information about life in New Westminster, services and supports that are available and opportunities to get involved; and a youth theatre project.

A ‘dynamite’ boat story OUR PAST
ARCHIE & DALE MILLER
W
e recently stumbled across a great story concerning a relatively unknown wooden sternwheeler and the “situation” in which she found herself. The vessel was the Hamlin, a 142-foot sternwheeler built in 1898 in Vancouver for the CPR. The vessel worked on the Stikine and the Fraser and was sold a number of times, the last being in 1911 to the Hamlin Tug Boat Company, where it was converted and sent to work supplying blasting powder up river to Yale during the construction of the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway. This is where our “stumbled- upon” story picks up. A newspaper headline of January 1911 certainly grabbed our attention with the words “Was Not Welcome” while commenting on the tale of the Hamlin. A short quote sets the whole thing up: “This particular cargo of dynamite and still more dangerous detonators has caused considerable excitement since it was first placed
on board the Hamlin some three weeks ago.” Apparently the vessel, described as a “sternwheel steamboat freight steamer”, was loaded with this valuable but dangerous cargo in False Creek. The vessel then somehow caught fire and, while the fire was handled successfully, it threatened “a large portion of the business section of Vancouver city.” The fire out and the vessel deemed all right to travel, she left the Vancouver area and headed up the Fraser River. On reaching New Westminster, the Hamlin, heavily loaded with explosives destined for some railroad construction tied up at Preston’s Coal Wharf near the Fraser River bridge. She was there for two days before being noticed by the harbour master. He immediately “saw possibilities of an explosion with resultant damage to the million dollar bridge and part of the City.” The Hamlin was quickly moved away downstream from this “costly property.” Finally on January 31, the ice on the river had lessened enough that the ship could try out the channel and head further upriver with part of its precious load going to C.J. Johnson camp at Sturgeon Landing, and the rest to the Grant and Smith contract

Club wins award
The owner of Fever Night Club on Church Street has been recognized at the 2010 Vancouver Nightlife Awards. Saverio Loria received
an award from clubvibes. com as manager of the year. He competed against venues from around the Lower Mainland. “I was nominated last year and made it into the top five,” he said. “I was nominated again this year. I won it this year.” Loria, who owns and manages Fever Night Club, has worked in the industry for 26 years. He’s been with Fever for 14 years. “I am honoured,” he said about the award that’s determined on the basis of online voting. In another competition, Fever was named best nightlife venue for 2010. Loria is having an awards celebration party at the nightclub on Saturday, Aug. 7. It will feature entertainment, a give-away of a trip to Las Vegas, food, cash prizes and more. Located on Church Street in downtown New Westminster, the nightclub plays dance music. Club Vibes is an online source to nightlife in Vancouver.
near Chilliwack. The British Columbian noted that the cargo was going to railway construction camps located between Port Mann and Chilliwack. It added an alarming detail: “about 50 tons of dynamite, explosion caps, and fuse” were in the cargo. Fortunately, the Hamlin sailed safely away. A story that began with the ominous headline “Was Not Welcome” ended with the line: “Steamer with dangerous cargo, that threatened Vancouver, passes upstream.”

Deadheading helps find pests early BRANCHING OUT
I
ANNE MARRISON
n the early years of gardening, many of us treat deadheading as a casual stroll where we can hold a cup of coffee (or glass of wine) in one hand and pick off spent flowers with the other. But later, deadheading can become so much more. For container gardeners in summer, deadheading is also a chance to check for pests that can quickly become epidemic in hot, dry conditions. Taking a few seconds to check underneath three or four dubious-looking leaves can reveal spider mites or whitefly before their numbers become overwhelming. All annuals bloom longer if deadheaded regularly
and if annuals grown for foliage happen to flower, it’s usually best to deadhead them early. Many foliage plants (coleus is one) have insignificant flowers and if they’re allowed to make seed, the foliage often deteriorates. Some perennials will rebloom if cut back immediately after the first flush of bloom. This includes many hardy geraniums, lupins, snapdragons, Verbena bonariensis, yarrow and alchemilla (Ladies Mantle). Once summer is well under way, gardeners may consider neglecting some of the deadheading to provide seedheads for dried arrangements in winter. The hardy annual Lovein-a-Mist (Nigella) with its seed heads of red-striped green globes is beautiful in vases. Its seed is easy to save and scatter in fall for next year’s display. But seed heads that look so good in garden beds or winter arrangements can be a real trap for gardeners who already
have quite enough dandelions or buttercups to weed out and don’t need thousands of volunteer hellebores/teasels/camas/ ornamental grasses as well. The key is to watch the seed heads and cut the unwanted ones out before they get close to shedding
seed. Gardeners who want short-lived perennials to persist in their garden should always allow a little self-seeding. Columbines and foxgloves fall into this group. But foxgloves need to be cut back before they turn into an ugly long pole

crowned by a little tuft of flowers. By early fall, wildlifeloving gardeners stop deadheading perennials, which produce seed that birds like. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amar rison@shaw.ca.

New Westminster Rotary Club News Humanitarian and Past District Rotary Governor Donald F. McKenzie passes away
New Westminster student Ceilidh Millar receives Rotary Youth Leadership Award – April 2010
Don was born in Vancouver in 1923 and attended both primary and secondary school in New Westminster. Don joined the Rotary Club of New Westminster in 1956, he has been active on all major committees in the club, he was a major financial donor to the Rotary Foundation, and he was Club President in 1961-62 and the District Governor in 1978-79. Don was the first recipient of the annual Optimist Award for his outstanding contributions to the promotion and development of, and interest shown in, the youth of New Westminster.
What is Rotary?
Rotary is service-driven and is an international humanitarian service organization. Founded in 1905, Rotary is the world's first service organization. Belonging to a Rotary club gives men and women an organized outlet for contributing to their community. The Rotary motto is 'Service Above Self'. Rotary concerns itself with truth, fairness, improved relations between people and world peace. Rotary has a global network of 1.2 million members in more than 29,000 clubs in 162 countries.
Prabhi Deol receives Adventures in Citizenship Award – Ottawa May, 2010
Prabhi Deol is a grade 11 student at New Westminster Secondary School and she was one of two students selected by the Rotary Club of New Westminster to attend this year‘s Adventures in Citizenship in Ottawa. Every year, the Rotary Adventure in Citizenship Program invites 220 outstanding youth between the ages of 16 and 19 to meet in the Capital and get to know their fellow Canadians from different provinces and territories, different cultures, different languages, and different lifestyles. The young Canadians who participate in this program get a privileged glimpse into the inner workings of our democratic institutions with tours, briefings, discussions and debates, along with various meetings with political leaders and senior officials.
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is Rotary's leadership training program for young people. RYLA participants can be ages 14-30, but most clubs and districts choose to focus on a narrower age range, such as 14-18 or 19-30. RYLA emphasizes leadership, citizenship, and personal growth, and aims to: • Demonstrate Rotary’s respect and concern for youth, • Provide an effective training experience for selected youth and potential leaders, • Encourage leadership of youth by youth, and • Recognize publicly young people who are rendering service to their communities.
The Rotary Club says goodbye to Youth Exchange Student Betty Gabilondo – July 2010 Betty is from Morelos, Mexico and she has been living in New Westminster and attending NWSS for the past year. Betty is very proud to belong to the Rotary Youth Exchange program and she refers to Rotary as her second family. She has had a wonderful year here and has had the privilege of having several host families and making many new friends during her 12 month stay. Every year approximately 7,000 students ages 15 to 19 from around the world go abroad under the auspices of the Rotary Youth Exchange Program. The increased self-awareness and global perspective, which these young people derive from the experience, would not be possible without the commitment of the many volunteer host families and the dedication of Rotarians.
Rotary’s objectives include: Development of opportunities for service and acquaintance; Highly ethical standards in business and the professions; International understanding and goodwill.

Family hosts real trip down memory lane BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
Henry and Jennie Bromley enjoyed a trip down memory lane as part of their 60th wedding anniversary. In honour of the marital milestone, family members arranged a “this is your life” bus tour that saw them drop by places with special memories. At each stop along the tour, the couple and family members got off the bus and met up with friends, former neighbours and coworkers. “It was better than we imagined,” said daughterin-law Kathy Bromley, who helped organize the tour. Henry and Jennie knew they were doing something with the family on June 12, but had no details about the day’s plan. In addition to their four sons, four daughters-in-law and grandchildren, Henry’s four sisters came from Calgary and his aunt came from Ontario to
take part in the tour. The tour started at a house at 1602 Edinburgh St., a home built by Jennie’s dad. She moved into the home when she was eight years old and eventually got married in the backyard. “They were so excited,” Bromley said of the current homeowners. “They even let us go in the house.” The next stop on the tour was Lucky Strike Bowling Lanes, where the couple like to go bowling. Next up was the First Presbyterian Church, where the pastor gave a blessing. The bus then met at a relative’s house on Sixth Avenue, where they were joined by friends from the Thistle Club, a group of friends who have been getting together for more than 60 years. Through the years, they’ve been there for each other’s marriages, childrearing years and more. “They still get together once a month,” Bromley said of the club.

The bus then drove past a number of houses that Jennie’s dad built, and through Queen’s Park, where they enjoyed many dances and hockey games. “That is where they went for lots of dances when they were young, at the Arenex,” Bromley said. “Throughout the years they billeted New Westminster Bruins. Stan Smyl was one of them.” The tour proceeded to Burnaby, where Henry had lived with his aunt, to Henry’s final job site in Surrey and a son’s house in White Rock. More friends and family members joined the tour when it stopped for dinner (including Smyl, who lived with the family for three years while playing for the Bruins). “It was just amazing, really,” Jennie said. “I never expected anything like that at all. It was a wonderful day.” Family members took the couple for dinner on June 30, their true anniversary.

The province has appointed two new directors to the Fraser Health board. “Our newest board members, Christopher Gardner and Inde Sumal, bring professional experience and familiarity with the challenges facing our rapidly-growing communities,” said Gordon Barefoot, the board’s chair, in a press release. “Fraser Health welcomes them and looks forward to introducing them to the vital role our board plays on behalf of the patients, clients and residents in the communities we serve.” Gardner, the executive vice-president of Britco Group, has a BA from Simon Fraser University and a bachelor of laws from the University of British Columbia. Britco has been prominent in the news recently as the company has been awarded government contracts for social housing. In particular, Britco Structures is known for building the 330 temporary housing modules for Olympic and Paralympic athletes in Whistler, which are slated to be converted into social housing this spring. Gardner has worked in corporate finance with ING Group’s investment banking division and Samsung Electronics in the past. Sumal is the vice president of residential mortgages for the Royal Bank of Canada. He is a member of the community advisory board for SFU, as well as the National Diversity Leadership Council, and the Surrey mayor’s advisory board on investment and job creation. Sumal was previously president and director of the Surrey Board of Trade.

Lilli brought sunshine on a dark dreary day, joy and potential to sadness and loss. Elise would learn that her cousin had a placental separation at 34 weeks of pregnancy, and that this had prevented Lilli’s heart from developing normally. She had persistent connections between the chambers of her heart and the great vessels. The atrioventricular septal defects would need to be repaired, but Lilli had to gain sufficient weight in order to have surgery. After hearing about the stress experienced by her cousin and her family, Elise was inspired to show her support to her cousin, other families and the medical team of the neonatal intensive care unit by raising funds using one of her strengths.

’Bellies drop Game 1 in overtime
Forward secondbest shooter for nats
BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
The New Westminster Salmonbellies were 11 minutes away from victory in Game 1 of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League final. Leading 8-6 after Tyler Digby’s second goal in the opening game of the bestof-seven playoff final series, the Coquitlam Adanacs rattled off six unanswered counters, including four in overtime, to take a 128 decision at the Poirier Street sports centre. Both teams played it tight through the first two periods, swapping tallies and the lead in a match that was tied on six separate occasions. New Westminster took the lead 7-6 into the final frame, following Colton Clark’s second goal of the game on a power play. Digby’s marker in the opening minute of the third period was the only two-goal lead for either team in regulation time. Momentum appeared to be going New Westminster’s way in the middle stanza, particularly after Alex Lohr’s spin-orama shot on transition that got by Coquitlam starter Chris Seidel. That 6-5 goal prompted a goalie change in the Adanac net, resulting in Brodie MacDonald to come on in relief. The 6-7 netminder stymied the Salmonbellie shooters for most of the remaining minutes, allowing just two goals on 25 shots the rest of the way. At the other end of the arena, New Westminster starter Brandon Mulligan made 46 stops, but had little help in extra time.

Close quarters: Brandon Goodwin, foreground, gets himself into the tough area to get a shot away against Coquitlam’s Kevin Neufeld in Game 1 of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League playoff final Wednesday. New Westminster gave up four unanswered goals in overtime to fall 12-8 to the Adanacs. “We left him all alone in the overtime,” remarked Salmonbellies head coach Dan Perreault, who had otherwise few complaints with his runners. “We had some good shots. But that’s the way this game is. It’s a game of inches and a game of bounces, but I’m happy with the effort going into overtime in their building. “It was a good lacrosse game. It’s going to be a good series and a great Minto Cup.” Few in attendance could find reason to argue.
The two teams traded the lead in the opening period and settled for a 3-3 tie at the interval. Both sides showed finish at the net, scoring three power-play goals apiece. Players involved in lateseason trades also figured prominantly in the game. Jay Card led the junior ’Bellies with a five-point game, including a goahead goal in the middle period. Clark, who came over from Nanaimo on the trade deadline, had two goals and one assist.
For the Adanacs, former Burnaby Laker Riley Loewen garnered four points, including a pair of counters from the left side. MacDonald and transition Nick Bilic also kept the Salmonbellies shooters at bay in the late going. “If we didn’t come to play, then I’d be upset. But our boys showed up and they worked hard,” Perreault said. “It was just two good teams playing lacrosse and battling it out.” The two junior A teams continued that battle at
Queen’s Park Arena on Friday (after The Record deadlines). Game 3 is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 4 in Coquitlam. Game 4 is back in New Westminster on the following Friday. Back East, both 21-1 regular season junior A champion Orangeville Northmen and runner-up Six Nations Arrows swept their semifinal playoff series in four straight games. The two Eastern clubs begin their best-of-seven Eastern championship final on Saturday.
Canada finished 11th at the International basketball federation cadette women’s under-17 championships in France last week. Lexi Der had a big game in Canada’s final match, an 82-48 victory over Mali last Saturday. The St. Thomas More forward was a perfect sixfor-six from the floor, scoring 13 points while adding two rebounds and one blocked shot in the final placement game of the 12team tournament. Der played in all seven games for Canada, finishing fourth in overall team scoring with 47 points. Her 46.7 shooting percentage from the floor was second-best on the team. Der also gobbled up 40 rebounds, had five steals and four blocks. In quarter-final action, Der posted five points and nine rebounds in Canada’s 59-51 loss to ninth-place finishing Argentina. Canada finished with a record of 2-5 at the worlds, including an 82-73 victory over Turkey in the country’s opening match in Rodez, France on July 16. The U.S. defeated the host French 92-62 in the gold-medal final. China beat Belgium 85-73 for the bronze medal.
Canada brings home silver from field lax worlds BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
Simon Fraser University student Curtis Manning suggested prior to the International Lacrosse Federation world championships that controlling loose balls could be the difference. But although the defending champion Canadians won the loose-ball battle 19-13 over the Americans, the United States won the war, coming back to win 12-10 in the championship final in Manchester, England last Saturday. Canada fell behind 3-0 to start the contest but closed the deficit to 3-2 after the opening quarter. The defending champs clawed
back in the second quarter to temporarily knot the match at 4-4 on Zack Greer’s first of two goals in the game. But the U.S. replied with four unanswered markers to go into half-time with an 8-4 lead. Canada did better to start the third. John Grant Jr., who had a hat trick for the Maple Leaf, scored his second of the game to spark a four-goal rally in the quarter. Garrett Billings of Langley and New Westminster’s Kevin Crowley also scored as Canada again tied it up 8-8 heading into the final frame. Greer gave Canada its first lead of the contest at 9-8 minutes into the fourth quarter. Grant’s
third of the game put Canada ahead 10-9 midway through the stanza. But the Americans countered with three straight scores in the final 10 minutes to capture their ninth overall world title. “The U.S. is big, athletic and good dodgers. Canada plays an almost expanded box lacrosse. When it’s clicking, it’s tough to beat,” said Manning prior to the championships. “The Canadians are good at tight, short passes. We strive for possession. If you can keep loose balls, you have a real good chance of winning.” Canada had won the world field lacrosse title on two separate occasions, in 1978 and again
in 2006, when the Canadians stopped a 38-game winning streak by the Americans that spanned seven world champion tournaments. U.S.A.’s only loss of the tourney was a 10-9 defeat to Canada on Day 2 of the world championships. Billings finished the competition with 13 goals and three assists, while Crowley added six goals and five helpers. In other placement games, Scotland held off the Netherlands to place seventh overall following an 11-10 victory. Scott Janssen of New Westminster tallied a hat trick for the Dutch, including his third of the game in a desperate three-
goal rally late in the fourth quarter that fell one goal short of the game-tying marker. Janssen finished eighth in overall tournament scoring with 16 goals and 15 assists. Jordan McBride, who played for Scotland, was held off the scoresheet in the final match. McBride placed fifth in overall scoring with 27 goals and seven assists. Josh Covelski of Poland led all scorers with 35 goals and 43 total points. Burnaby junior A Laker Brian Gillis placed 44th overall in scoring at the world championships, helping Ireland to a ninth-place finish with two first-half goals in a 15-8 win over Sweden. Gillis finished with 16 goals.

Jr. B’s win playoff final
The New Westminster Salmonbellies won the West Coast junior B lacrosse playoff final 6-4 over defending champion Port Moody Thunder at Queen’s Park Arena on
Wednesday. Ryan Chan led the league champions with two goals and one assist, while ’Bellies keeper Jesse Dodds stopped 39 shots on goal to register the win. Harry Nielsen got the game-winning tally, cutting through heavy traffic to score into the top corner on Thunder goalie Nick Healy. David Beaumont iced the win with the 6-3 counter. “We had a big, big win last night. It was one of the best games of the year,” said New Westminster head coach Vince Taylor. New Westminster held period leads of 3-1 and 4-3 before Nielson and Beaumont scored. Then all hell broke loose, said Taylor. “With six minutes to go they scored to make it 6-4. They then pulled their goalie and hit the post, and we hung on (to win) by the narrowest of margins,” Taylor added.

Cancer June 21-July 22: This could be crunch time, Cancer, especially early week. Your relationship(s) is/ are under pressure from both business/career and family/domestic/security arenas. Consider: a major link is undergoing deep, irrevocable changes, and you’ll be better off accepting this, adjusting to it. In some cases, a break-off is overdue. But if you have a good, long-term bond, don’t throw it away due to a temporary conflict. A mood of happy expectation surrounds all this!(?) Your energy and charisma surge upward Friday/Saturday – use these to handle the problems or sudden events that crop up.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The years ahead accent deep changes in, and a cautious, sober, serious, slowgrowth approach toward, all security, real estate, and domestic spheres. Flow with this; embrace it. Oddly, now to 2019, your relationships will be anything but sober, predictable and cautious! Sudden hypnotic attractions, overnight decisions to marry (or split) or sparkling new oddball friends might be the norm (hints late week). Early week accents that first sober trend: be willing to fight, but make sure you’re not over-reacting. Legal, love, travel, intellectual matters shine mid-week. You’re happy!
Taurus April 20-May 20: Avoid arguments. Attend to security, property, domestic, family and supply issues for the next three weeks. Your energy might ebb – you’re in a natural “hibernation” phase until late month. Paradoxically, work demands much effort all August – but you’ll almost enjoy it by next week, as co-workers grow affectionate. (This message applies to some degree into late 2012.) Carefully regulate your energy, alternate work and rest, especially outdoors. Employment changes might emerge from legal, government, management or international quarters. Money looks good Wednesday/Thursday.
Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Your energy, charisma and clout shine! But don’t make big new starts that could soon hit the eddies of indecision, delays and back-tracking (due by Aug. 20, or sooner). Focus on wrapping up what’s already in the works. This week will be momentous, tumultuous for some of the people around you – be a friend, an aid. Your own work, health, communications, legal, intellectual, travel, publishing, educational, cultural and love spheres face deep changes/challenges, highlighted Tuesday and late week, but lasting for several years ahead. Happiness mid-week – a flirty Gemini or a deep Aries?
Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: You might receive some dire messages this week – but they are not as dire as they seem. Your spheres of work, health, duties, charities, spirituality, management, dealing with head office and government – all are under pressure, the status quo must change. Realize this and proceed with a willing, helpful attitude. Don’t get riled up Monday/Tuesday when you might sense a “challenge” – be quiet, diplomatic, study the flow of (and origin of) events. Same thing Friday/Saturday, but your mood is more mellow, understanding. Midweek, you can delve deep, learn some real secrets!
Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Lie low, conserve energy, avoid fights – plan, manage, act behind the scenes. Be charitable, spiritual, moral, honest with yourself. You “skate by” many of the powerful stresses and challenges that occur now; they affect associates more than you. Still, these major forces do affect your financial, sexual, research, intimate and health spheres, so take events, trends seriously, especially around Tuesday and late week. Your own deep sense of speculation, of taking a risk, might struggle with economic “realities” – yet you might be right! Be ambitious mid-week, diplomatic Friday.

Aries March 21 - April 19: A major struggle might occur. Your humour is at a low level. If you’re challenged, calm down, study events, stride ahead slowly and steadily. Study the conditions around events – this setting is your answer: gaze on it, then plan your ensuing moves. Your career/life status is undergoing major change: a) accept this, but better yet, b) use it as an opportunity to charge forth in a way that conforms to the “new setting” around you. Though you feel expansive and impulsive, others hold your on-off button – co-operate! Saturday onward, sweet affection returns to relationships!
Gemini May 21-June 20: DON’T invest. The accent lies on communications, paperwork, details, emails, calls, office chores, errands – dive in! Be curious, ask questions, explore, travel, talk to people, connect with siblings. This week contains barriers or problems in “big money,” investments, debts, mutually owned reserves, especially around Tuesday. An Aries or Libra, a “hothead” might be involved. Maintain composure; your position is pretty rock solid, as long as you don’t abandon it. Smile, be diplomatic Friday, despite provocation – sudden love could appear – careful! Complete projects, delay big starts.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: You’re in a wise, mellow, compassionate, loving phase. Look around you and see the major trends occurring in the world. What you understand now can boost you immeasurably in the future. Early week features dead-ends (which are really changes in direction) in money, romantic, child-oriented, creative and social spheres. Your social and love needs might directly counter your money wishes. So you can adapt, change, resign yourself, or charge ahead with a new plan. Wednesday/Thursday show you the possibilities – and the opposition. New love’s possible, but dicey! Careful, Friday.
A Property Worth Seeing!

August 1 - 7 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The main accent lies on depths, research, secrets, investments, debt, intimacy, sexual desire, health and lifestyle choices/ commitments. Here, all is well – or at least, “normal.” But another long-term drama, a subtle but important one, is slowly transforming you and your life – your personality. Here, you face great challenges, pressures – mostly on career fronts, a little in domestic areas. Definite choices are necessary. Bosses and power people are no-nonsense, skeptical, even angry: careful Tuesday. They grow more amenable Friday through August – wait to approach! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Big romantic, social, marital and partnership choices this week! Travel, publishing, advertising, education, import-export, sibling interactions and communications might be under pressure. It’s a good pressure, for it forces overdue change. (Legal and litigation questions might arise. My advice: avoid lawsuits to Sept. 15. They can prove burdensome right into October 2012, with little “win” quotient – talk it out!) Others hold the aces; be diplomatic, flexible. Something ends early week. Romance mid-week! Careful Friday: accidents and “wrong love” possible. Be an angel all week! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Lots of work to do, Pisces – dig in! For three weeks, concentrate on finishing or giving a big forward heave to ongoing projects rather than starting any new ones. This week, especially around Tuesday and Friday, brings a climax in certain difficult situations. The main problem is that your money (and sexual) interests are “fighting” your cherished wishes. For example, you want a future wedding (the wish) but you’re not sexually attracted to “Mr./Ms. Right.” Or you can’t afford the life you want (what else is new?). Careful with finances, investments. Avoid money, possession “show downs.” timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
