The Holy Rollers

Filling a need turned into a path to a new life for an eightperson painting crew BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com

s Doug Fynn, Wayne Tugwood and Capt. Dave MacPherson sit in the downstairs activities room at the Salvation Army in uptown New Westminster, they can’t help but laugh at how beautiful the room looks. “It took our painters forever to get this room right,” said Tugwood. “It must have about eight coats of paint in some spots, but we had to show them how to do the job properly.” It wasn’t just painting, but hole filling, sanding, prepping and priming that the painters had to do to a room that was used for everything from floor hockey to meetings and buffet dinners. The painters are an eight-person crew called the Holy Rollers and the group was started earlier this year when MacPherson wanted to combine the army’s needs with its mandate to help the people it serves. “We deal with a lot of people looking for jobs or a chance to turn their lives around,” said MacPherson. “And we definitely needed a paint job.” So MacPherson put two and two together and was able to obtain approval in the

Auditor to oversee district’s budget process BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster school district learned this month that the auditor general’s office will oversee the school district’s budget process and will also perform an audit of its controversial business company. The auditor general wrote to the district that his office would start a “financial statement oversight relationship” with the district, which means it won’t perform the

district’s budget audit for the 2010/11 fiscal year but would watch the process. “This oversight relationship is quite normal,” Bill Gilhooly, assistant auditor general, told The Record. “It’s not an audit, but it is part of the audit process.” The oversight process usually goes on for a three- to five-year period, he said. There are three levels of involvement that the auditor general takes with government organizations: high, where it performs the audit; moderate, where auditors other than the auditor general perform the

audit, though the auditor general oversees the process; and low involvement, where the auditor general has only limited involvement. “In some cases, we audit directly, and in some, we do an oversight relationship,” Gilhooly said. “We wouldn’t tell the board what to do, but we would get involved with the auditors.” Earlier this year, the New Westminster district parent advisory council, a districtwide parent group, sent a letter to the auditor general, requesting that John

Doyle look into the school district’s finances and overall performance. Gilhooly said the auditor general’s involvement in the district is “not related to that request.” New Westminster school district’s number came up as a matter of routine, he said.

With faith and a paint brush BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alaul@royalcityrecord.com

Jason Lang/THE RECORD

Rollin’: Pious Mangong, from southern Sudan, is a member of the Holy Rollers.

Pious Mangong loves cleaning. For the Royal City resident who came from southern Sudan in 2005, having a clean workplace was almost as important as the work itself. Problem is, he was part of the Holy Rollers program at the New Westminster Salvation Army, and he was being paid to paint. “Pious loves cleaning so much that we had to constantly remind him his job was to paint,” said Holy Rollers team leader Wayne Tugwood. “Now, after almost three months, I think he realizes he’s a painter first.” Mangong admits he took some time to focus on his new job, but you can never accuse him of not working hard. “We first met Pious when he came to volunteer at the church,” said Capt. Dave MacPherson. “He helped out a lot, and when he applied for the program, we thought he might be a good fit. “He doesn’t talk much about what hap-

pened back in the Sudan, but I imagine it must have been very tough for him to be a Christian there.” For Mangong, learning a trade is important, but he’s already survived so much more. Since 1996, he had been trying to leave his homeland that was ravaged by a civil war. He even spent two years living in Egypt, waiting for a visa to come to Canada. By the time he got to New Westminster five years ago, all he could find were two labour jobs: one in a wood factory and the second in a chicken processing plant. Mangong hit a stretch of bad luck when he fell and tore some knee ligaments. Mangong soon found himself jobless after successful surgery but not without hope. “Because of my faith, I would wake up every morning thinking today was the day I would find work,” he said. “It was hard, very hard, but I have my faith.” Mangong didn’t like collecting welfare, but he needed the money to survive. Now that he’s making his own wage, Mangong

feels like he can contribute to his new country. “It took me a while, but I think of myself as a painter now,” he said. “I can fix the holes in the wall before I put the paint on.” And with a confidence born out of surviving everything thrown his way, Mangong can even laugh at his initial painting struggles. “This room we took six weeks to do. I think we can do it now in two days,” he said. “That’s how far I’ve come, and that’s how far everyone’s come.” “It might take longer than that,” cautioned Tugwood. “It’s great to see how confident Pious is.” And as Mangong enters his third month of training, he knows that confidence is something he’ll need if and when the Holy Rollers start working on outside contracts. “I’m excited, very excited,” he said. “Scared, no, never scared. I wasn’t scared when I was waiting to come to Canada, and I wasn’t scared when I got hurt. … I’m looking forward to painting.”

Massey Theatre is a city ‘icon’ Dear Editor:

Re: Trust issues raised over Massey plans, The Record, Sept. 11. The ongoing issues over the high school and Massey Theatre, as discussed in the Sept. 11 issue of The Record, are becoming just a little disconcerting. My first thought some years ago, when this issue was first raised, was: Why tear down a perfectly good school complex? Can it not be upgraded or, if new facilities are needed, can they not be added to what already exists? When it was raised at the ratepayers’ meeting several years ago that the school was 60 years old, I had to point out that Cambridge and Oxford are several hundred years old and many of the schools in the Lower Mainland, such as Point Grey Secondary and Templeton School in Vancouver East, for example, were built in the 1920s, and, while

not being totally up to date, they are doing a good job of educating the students. Not only that, how do we preserve our heritage if, every 50 or 60 years or so, we eradicate the past and its obvious history? So I ask why we want to tear it down and with it, the well-established and much enjoyed Massey Theatre, which has served us well and can continue to do so as it has over the years. Massey Theatre, in my opinion, is one of the most important cultural icons in our community. Building a 1,000-seat auditorium will not in any way replace it. If you want to get rid of or destroy something, first you have to try to find fault with it or discredit it. Since neither the school nor Massey Theatre can be discredited, let’s go after physical obsolescence, safety, building failure, not up to code, etc. Two issues, asbestos and seismic problems – which our administrator, Paul Daminato, says are

serious – are, in my opinion, nothing more than fearmongering. The same issues were raised when the provincial government wanted to tear Woodlands down and sell it. When those issues were challenged as nothing more than excuses, they were dropped – what they really were concerned about was selling the valuable land. As far as the seismic concerns go, a twostorey, wood frame building such as this school is one of the safest. That school will be left standing when most other buildings, including the city hall, will be on the ground, if and when there is a sizeable earthquake. I agree with the comments by Gavin Wishart (Massey meeting misses the mark, In My Opinion, The Record, Sept. 11) regarding the other red herring reasons for tearing down the Massey Theatre and/or the school. The facilities are as good as or better than many other schools or public facilities in the country. As for the building code, in most cases, any building a few years old falls short of current building codes, including city halls, theatres, police stations and fire

halls, not to mention residential buildings, including our homes. Does that mean they should be torn down? I think not. I am not in the least against building newer and more up-to-date facilities when there is a complete plan with the known costs and it can be proven to be necessary. What I object to is the inability to come forward with a coherent plan that is acceptable to all. Given the current economic downturn, which may very well go on for some years, it seems to me that our elected leaders need to reassess their priorities. I am not impressed with what is, to me, an arrogant lack of concern for how our money is spent, whether it is at the federal, provincial or local level. From an environmental point of view, how many hundreds of truck loads of construction debris will be sent to the landfill? When do we start practising what we preach: reduce, reuse and recycle? Taking a ball to the high school and Massey Theatre is not much less irresponsible, in my opinion, than the destruction of Saint Mary’s Hospital. Lastly, it would cost much less to improve and preserve what we have. Bill Zander, New Westminster

Servers: ‘Sex appeal’ isn’t a requirement ◗ continued from page 6

Dress codes which do not demean the worker, combined with a clean and well-groomed appearance, are completely acceptable requirements in most circumstances. This does not extend to unreasonable requirements that have nothing to do with the ability to perform the job. In 1998, staff at the Cheesecake Café in Victoria (very similar to a Milestone’s type of restaurant) chose to join the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW), in large part due to their desire to be respected and to achieve dignity in their workplace. Once we negotiated our first collective agreement, we had the ability to deal with arbitrary cuts in hours, unfair treatment and fair dress code issues. Workers at many White Spot restaurants also have the benefit of a collective agreement, and we work

with the employer to ensure that our members are treated with dignity and respect. No one can argue that the White Spot chain has not grown, even while respecting their workers and the collective agreement. I’m sure many years ago that restaurants with signs that read “whites only” or places that discouraged gay clientele or women who chose to breastfeed their children were packed and people could “choose” not to eat or work there. You can change your experience and training level to make you an attractive candidate for a position as a server, but you can’t change whether or not you are considered attractive, your gender, your skin colour and so on. The provincial government must undertake a

thorough investigation of major restaurant chains to determine if there is systemic discrimination in their hiring and dress code practices and introduce legislation, regulations and additional penalties if required to protect the dignity of workers in the restaurant industry. All qualified British Columbians should be entitled to work in restaurants regardless of their level of subjective personal “beauty,” regardless of their gender, race, or sexual orientation, and regardless of outdated stereotypical and misogynistic male views of what they want to see when they go out to eat. Gavin McGarrigle is a national representative with the Canadian Auto Workers Union (CAW-Canada) and has represented workers at many different hotels including the Fairmont Empress Hotel and the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.

Budget: Auditor to oversee ◗ continued from page 1

November, did not include a plan to audit New Westminster school district. “Each year we look at the bundle and say, ‘Should we go here, should we go there?” Gilhooly said. “It’s a plan, and plans change. “New Westminster would have been picked over time,” he added. The auditor general’s letter to the superintendent John Woudzia also said that he has instructed his staff to “commence planning an audit” of the school district’s business company, which oversees as school in China. “A staff member will be in contact with you regarding the scope of this work and other details,” he wrote. Board of education chair James Janzen said he doesn’t believe the business company audit will be a financial one, but added that the district is waiting for more information.

Doyle is also considering a review of financial management and governance in the education sector and may use New Westminster school district as a district to assess. “I think the auditor general has decided to take a greater interest in what’s happening in our sector,” Janzen said. “I think they realize, ‘Hey, this is the second biggest sector in this province, in terms of spending.’” The auditor general recently released a report that said B.C. school district and colleges are sitting on too much cash and could be generating more investment revenue. The auditor general also recently released a critical report of the financially troubled Langley school district, in which – along with recommending changes to accounting procedures – Doyle cast some blame on discord among trustees. www.twitter.com/nikimhope

assured that the market would have a community space for local groups to use. “I’m really looking forward to an open meeting space,” he said. Crosty said it appears the work on the market went slower than he expected but the delays were understandable. Crosty said that when he previously looked at renting out office space in the market, he noticed a lot of aging and mismatched infrastructure, problems that had to be fixed during the renovation. “It was a daunting task,” he said. Crosty said the market’s owners also had to deal with a global economic recession. “People just aren’t opening new stores right now,” said Crosty. “The timing issue has been bad for the market. I think they’ll

get more tenants.” Matthew Laird, president of the Quayside Community Board, said he hadn’t received a formal invitation as of Thursday morning even though he did receive an e-mail earlier in the week asking which days he might be available to attend one of the lunches. Because of scheduling conflicts, Laird said he would be unable to attend any of the events. “I’m hearing they will do a quiet soft opening,” said Laird, who said he is personally looking forward to Donald’s Market’s opening. Laird added that changes to bus service in the Quayside area make going to IGA difficult for some of the area’s older residents.

Students play on to raise money NWSS Fan of the Bandathon fundraiser invites support from individuals, businesses BY JULIE MACLELLAN REPORTER jmaclellan@royalcityrecord.com

You could try to contain Nory Johrden’s enthusiasm for the music department at New Westminster Secondary School, but you’d never be successful. The local mom, who’s a member of the music department’s volunteer auxiliary, can’t say enough good things about the program and its teachers. “We love this department, it is so powerful. The students get the best training possible by this dedicated staff,” she says, her enthusiasm bubbling through the phone line. “They’re all so dedicated, they become the catalyst for these youth through music.” Helping the music department is a cause she believes in passionately – and she found a way to put that passion to work when she hit upon the idea for a Fan of the Bandathon fundraiser to help the music department. The fundraiser will see NWSS music students perform for 12 hours, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sept. 25, in the school music rooms, collecting pledges from family, friends and community supporters for their efforts. It all began, Johrden says, when she saw how effective another family member’s walkathon fundraiser was in bringing in money for his school. She took the idea and ran with it, coming up with the bandathon plan and taking it to a music auxiliary meeting. Other parents immediately got on board – two of whom volunteered their professional expertise in web design to help set up a website. Three parents worked with one staff member to set up the www.fanofthe bandathon.com site, where each student can collect pledges from the community. The site will be open to accept pledges until Oct. 12, and donors can choose to support a particular student or simply be a group sponsor. The money will help the music department in a variety of ways. Part will be earmarked to help cover the costs of student travel to a variety of festival and music events for those students who might not be able to pay their own way. Part will go towards a new sound system. Part will help pay for properly designed, ergonomic

Back, from left, Jordan Wilson, Gower Roberts, William Chernoff, Seok Hee Jang and Madeleine Elkins. musicians’ chairs, and part is earmarked to help fulfil another department “wish list” item, an electronic keyboard. Johrden points out that the music department at NWSS is more than just another program. “It’s a community within a community. It’s not just kids learning music, it’s more than that,” she says. “Music is the voice of the soul. It touches people profoundly.” She’ll do anything she can to help the program thrive. “Parents have got to rally together to get community support to keep them going,” she says. “It’s parents understanding the value behind this dedicated staff.” But the fundraiser isn’t just about the music community at NWSS – it’s also about

the community at large. Ten per cent of the bandathon’s proceeds will go towards the Lower Mainland Purpose Society for Youth and Families, a New Westminster-based organization that offers a variety of educational and life-skills programs for youth – including an alternative high school for those who, for various reasons, haven’t thrived in the traditional system. Johrden is hoping to see the wider community respond to the fundraiser by helping out in whatever way they can. Individual donations are welcome, and the site is also being set up so that the business community can get involved as corporate sponsors. The goal of the bandathon fundraiser,

Johrden notes, is to offer a simple way for people to donate. “We want this to be huge, and effortless,” she says. “That way the students can get down to doing what they’re supposed to be doing, which is creating music.” Moreover, she adds, the setup allows for a virtually cost-free fundraiser – meaning all the money raised goes back to the music department. “We want every penny to go back into the pockets where it’s supposed to be,” she says. The bandathon is a student-only event and won’t be open to the public for viewing. However, it will be recorded on video and made available to watch online. See www.fanofthebandathon.com.

Gunless in city

Oh, hurray! Perusing the Massey

Theatre website, I just ran across the information that the October entry in the Last Mondays at the Movies series will be Gunless – the comedy about a hardened American gunslinger who is repeatedly thwarted in his efforts to hold a showdown in a friendly Canadian town.

marking it in my calendar now.) It’s directed by William Phillips and stars Paul Gross (of Due South, Men With Brooms and Passchendaele fame). I’ve been a Paul Gross fan since the Due South days (as, admittedly, have most of the women of my acquaintance), and Men With Brooms is still one of my favourite comedies in its delightfully quirky Canadian way. In any case, I digress: Gunless is coming up Oct. 25. The film is presented by the Arts Council of New Westminster and the Massey, in conjunction with the Toronto International Film Festival’s Film Circuit, bringing award-winning foreign, Canadian and independent films to the screen on the last Monday of each month. September’s offering, which is coming up Sept. 28, is Cooking With Stella – directed by Dilip Mehta and starring Michael Laffront and Stella Elizabeth Matthews. Single tickets are $9 and can be bought on the door or online at tickets.massey theatre.com, or by calling the box office at 604-5215050.

Purpose Society welcomes new boss

AROUND TOWN

THERESA McMANUS

awn Embree has taken over the helm of the Lower Mainland Purpose Society for Youth and Families. A longtime employee of the Purpose Society, Embree assumed the position of the society’s executive director on Sept. 1. Twenty-six years ago, she did her bachelor of arts practicum requirements at Purpose. Embree left the agency for a number of years to work at other organizations and to round out her therapeutic education and skills,

and returned to Purpose in 1996. “We are extremely fortunate to have someone of Dawn’s calibre take over as executive director,” said Dave Patterson, president of the society’s board of directors. “Her skills, abilities and, as importantly, her knowledge of the history and culture of the agency will ensure she will be successful in further developing the Purpose Society in these challenging times.” Embree replaced Lynda Fletcher-Gordon, who was a founding member of the Purpose Society and who contributed to social services in New Westminster for over 25 years. FletcherGordon will continue to be involved with the agency by spearheading special projects and ensuring the agency is reaccredited for the third time.

Aiming high

A man with roots in the Royal City is aiming to climb the highest mountain in the world. Royal City residents Harvey and Edith Ardt are proud to support Gord Ireland’s climb of Mount Everest. Ireland, 59, was born in New Westminster and attended St. Thomas More Collegiate. After working in the Lower Mainland and volunteering for North Shore Search and Rescue, he moved to Kelowna in 1979. Ireland visits him mom and stepfather in New Westminster a few times a year. He’s a member of the Arthritis Society’s Joints in Motion team that will leave Katmandu in Nepal on Oct. 1 and climb to Mount Everest’s base camp. “They go up to the

12,000-foot level,” said his mom Edith. “They don’t go all the way up – that’s 18,000 feet.” Harvey notes that his stepson has already had to have a full replacement to his left knee, due to arthritis. “It’s only a matter of time before he has to have the right knee done,” he said. “He is in good enough shape to do this trip. Ireland, who has family and friends also suffering from arthritis, said it’s important for people to help find a cure. He’s one of two trekkers from B.C. who are on the team of 60 that will be attempting to reach the base camp. “I think we all have a responsibility, in our own way, to leave this beautiful place we call earth a little better than when we arrived,” he said on

his donations page. “I am taking this journey as an opportunity to further help the research of arthritis, hoping one day that we will have a cure for this crippling disease.”

Coquitlam-bound

Catherine Mohoruk will be tackling transportation issues in Coquitlam. Catherine, who has been the city’s transportation engineering specialist for the past few years, has taken on a new position. “She has gone to the City of Coquitlam as its transportation planning manager. That is an excellent opportunity for Catherine,” said Jim Lowrie, the city’s director of engineering services. “She was a very dedicated employee, participated in several advisory committees to council. She will be missed.” Catherine will still be able to keep an eye on the local traffic happenings, as she’s a resident of the Royal City.

Art on the river

New Westminster residents can enjoy an art show and sale, musical entertainment, creative family art projects, and environmental displays and activities at the seventh annual Artists on the River. The event is being hosted by Fraser River Discovery Centre, in partnership with the City of New Westminster and the Arts Council of New Westminster. It’s on Saturday, Sept. 25 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the kickoff celebration taking place at 11 a.m. See www.fraserriver

◗ GRAND OPENING OF YOUTH CENTRE

Jam-packed with Fun

oyal City residents of all ages turned out in full force on Wednesday afternoon to celebrate a historic moment in the city’s history – the opening of the new New Westminster Youth Centre. The new centre is in Moody Park, at the rear of Century House seniors’ centre – making it one of the first facilities of its kind in the country. Rain forced Wednesday’s grand opening ceremonies to move indoors to the Douglas/Fir Room in Century House, which was large enough to accommodate the crowd. But the weather didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of those who turned out to marvel at the new centre, which was built with funding from the city and federal and provincial governments, as well as a fundraising campaign that raised more than $200,000 to furnish and equip its kitchen, lounge, fitness centre and computer room. The grand opening featured a barbecue, entertainment and self-guided tours of the new facility. And, while dignitaries made formal remarks to launch the centre officially, local youth immediately jumped in to do what they were meant to do – have fun and socialize with their friends in the space they can now call their own.

A glimpse into Cold War history OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

couple of years ago we wrote about a model bomb shelter that was constructed near the Eighth Avenue and Eighth Street corner, on today’s school property, in about 1941. Although we didn’t get any followup information about the items then, we did have a comment a year later from a person who remembered his family going up to the location to see the construction. We recently thought again about the bomb shelter, but this time to the mid-1960s, about 50 years ago, when the threat of an atomic war seemed to be a possibility. Thinking more about that time period in our history, we came upon an interesting collection of pamphlets, government materials and notes from a course very much linked to shelters, atomic weapons, and the bomb. At that time, Arthur Miller, Archie’s father, was to attend a course dealing with geiger counters, radiation identification and a wide variety of information related to atomic bombs, radiation, destruction and, of course, survival. Archie went along on the course, and the papers we have are from that series of talks and demonstrations, as well as a few added in the years that followed. Some of the notes in this interesting collection are those personally created at that time. The folder itself is filled with mimeographed pages (how many of you remem-

ber those?) that cover topics such as contamination of drinking water, atomic physics, atomic weapons, radiation effects, radiation dosage calculations and a glossary of terms. It is fascinating to look at the plot map participants in the course created as they searched for hidden radioactive samples using multiple geiger counter readings and then determining where the samples were situated. This was all carried out in a large piece of open land, with a small building for a classroom, somewhere in Vancouver. The booklets and pamphlets are of equal interest as they lay out the afterblast results of an atomic attack – nearby or in the distance. One booklet titled Regional Emergency Government Headquarters, a booklet “not to be communicated to the public,” notes the locations of those regional facilities – B.C.’s being at CFB Nanaimo. Some other booklets are Nuclear Weapons Section: Emergency Health Services (manual), Blast Shelters: Blueprint for Survival No. 6 and 11 Steps to Survival. All of these make interesting reading today, 50 years after they were believed necessary. And as for a bomb shelter, there was a pamphlet for that as well, titled Simpler Shelters. This told us all about shelter variations such as below ground concrete block, sand bag sit down, concrete block above ground, improvised above ground, and steel tank below ground. Fascinating stuff to review. This is a good example of history not having to be a long, long time ago. This is only from 50 years ago, but it is still of great interest and certainly part of our past.

Urban beauty: Jon and Brenda Fairfax in the yard of their Brow of the Hill home.

Creating a wildlife haven in the city BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A backyard oasis has given Jon and Brenda Fairfax a reason to sit back and relax. In 2002, the couple built a heritage-style home in the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood. The home has since been a stop on the Heritage Home Tour. “The original plan we submitted to the city had the pond and stream in it,” Jon said. “We started construction of the pond and stream in 2007.” Jon, with assistance from his brother Geoff, built the stream and pond, irrigation system, and hard structures such as retaining walls, the wooden deck, bridge and stairs. Brenda is responsible for the plantings. “My theme was a cottage garden,” she said. “I tried to put in a nice-smelling, old cottage garden.” Roses, lilies, alyssum and mock orange are among the plants that provide fragrance in the garden. A Royal City Rose is currently in a pot but will find a permanent home in the garden. “I want this to become big and established, as part of the property,” Brenda said. “This is New Westminster.” Plants provide colour in the garden from spring to fall. A sign reading, “Shh, the garden is sleeping” is posted in the winter. Other than some existing trees (including plum and walnut), shrubs and bushes (such

as lilac and rhododendron), the couple had a fairly bare pallet on which to create a garden. “This is the first garden I have ever had. It is trial and error,” Brenda said. “I have always grown herbs and vegetables, never flowers and shrubs.” In order to install the home’s geothermal heating system, portions of the backyard had to be excavated to accommodate its underground infrastructure. The couple saved rocks that were dug up during the excavation and used them in the yard and in the stream. The idea was to build a stream and pond that looked as if they had always been there, and the house had been built around those natural features. “We built this oasis here,” Brenda said. “In the summer, every bird, every creature, comes to drink.” Jon regularly tests the water to ensure it’s safe for the squirrels, skunks, raccoons and birds who drink out of it, as well as the 30 or so koi and goldfish that call it home. Jon notes that the young koi in the pond are the offspring of the fish originally purchased for the pond. “That tells us the habitat is good,“ he said. “They are spawning successfully.” The pond, trees and plants in the yard attract an assortment of birds year-round, including woodpeckers, warblers and hawks. At times, the yard sounds like a bird sanctuary.

Oasis: Brow of the Hill couple on their way to the garden of their dreams ◗ continued from page 18

The stream and pond are the focal point of the garden. The pond is home to water lettuce, water hyacinth, marsh marigold, bog pea, and other plants. Ferns, hostas and other plants are located along the sides of the stream, which includes rocks found during the excavation. Wooden stairs take visitors down to a wooden deck that overlooks the pond. Jon dons chest waders every couple of weeks and gets in the pond to clean it out, remove leaves and test the water. Devices such as the pond’s filter and injection system have been disguised in a miniature wooden house. Pump equipment is hidden in a box topped by cedar shakes left over from the home’s construction. Brenda grows organic vegetables in her vegetable plot, which includes raised beds that Jon installed last year. “We don’t use herbicides and pesticides on the whole property because we have so many creatures,” she said. The plants are nourished through a fertilizer that’s injected through the sprinkler system. Compost from a double barrel composter is also used in the garden. Brenda starts her plants

in the house, before moving with the vegetable gardenthem into the greenhouse ing getting the most sunlight. The couple knew that and finally the garden.

’Bellies in must-win at Mann Cup tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Canadians blank NoCo in premier opener

The New Westminster Salmonbellies are down – three games to two – but not out, says coach. The B.C. champions failed to follow up on their encouraging 9-8 overtime win over the Peterborough Lakers in Game 4 on Tuesday that tied the bestof-seven Mann Cup series at two games apiece. The Salmonbellies now must win the final two games of the series, following a 14-9 defeat to the Lakers on Wednesday. Game 6 was on Friday (after The Record deadlines). If necessary, Game 7 will be played Saturday. “It was an opportunity we didn’t take advantage of. My guys came out pretty flat,” said Salmonbellies head coach Bob Salt. “We’re still up. If anyone is going to win back East, it’s a Game 7.” But to get to a seventh game, the ’Bellies have to overcome a Cup-hungry Lakers bunch that fired 65 shots on New West’s Tyler Richards on Wednesday. Peterborough opened Wednesday’s game with a 3-0 start and never trailed, holding period leads of 5-2 and 10-5. The ’Bellies got to within two goals midway through the middle frame on Jordan Hall’s first of three goals.

The Burnaby Girls Canadians kicked off their second season in the premier division of the Metro Women’s soccer league with a 5-0 win over North Coquitlam. The Canadians got all five goals from first-year players, including a pair each from Sarah Boulton and Kristen Vanderpauw. Former Burnaby Girls youth player Amy Lawrence also scored in her premier debut at Town Centre Stadium last Saturday. New Westminster’s Cassie Newbrook earned a shutout in her first game with squad. Burnaby jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the opening 15 minutes of play, but took its foot off the gas pedal after that until finding the back of the net with a couple more scores in the final 20 minutes of play. The Canadians will be without three of their leaders in their home opener against the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Xtreme. Captain Amy Bobb and assistants Stacy Warren and Jacqueline Gant will all be unavailable this Sunday. “This will surely test the young Canadians’ leadership and mental strength early on in the new season without three key leaders,” said Burnaby head coach Matt Holbrook.

Kid in the Hall: New Westminster Salmonbellies Jordan Hall scores on one of his three goals in a 14-9 loss to the Peterborough Lakers in Game 5 of the Mann Cup senior A lacrosse championships Wednesday. Hall opened the third period with back-to-back markers to shave the deficit to 10-7. But the Lakers, who like to reply in quick bursts, scored three times in a three-minute span to put the game out of reach. Jamie Floris got two goals back for New West, including a shorthanded counter late in the game. But Tracy Kelusky

answered a minute later with his hat-trick goal. Despite the damaging loss, Salt defended the play of his club. “The boys have done well. You have to go to Peterborough and play in front of 4,000 people in the stands, and put up with what goes on here to understand,” said Salt. “But we knew that coming here. We have to be disci-

plined.” On Tuesday, the Salmonbellies took a giant step in their Mann Cup adventure, winning their first overtime game in six championships starts on Craig Conn’s game-winner. “We’re still in this,” Salt maintained. “We have a good system, but we sometimes get away from it. … We can take it to

them when our offence gets going. We have to play a more controlled game. “Our best game has to be ahead of us. If it isn’t, we’re coming home. But we’ll give ’er.” Peterborough last won the Mann Cup in 2007, the third for the Lakers in a span of four years since 2004. The last time New Westminster won the cup was 19 years ago.

Mentors made a difference to hoop girls BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Alisha Roberts and Lexie Der of Burnaby are good friends, close teammates and fierce AA basketball rivals. Alisha is a 16-year-old Grade 11 guard with the B.C. 2A provincial girls’ basketball champion York House Tigers. Lexie, 17, is in her grad year with St. Thomas More Collegiate Knights. Together the Basketball B.C. under-17 provincial teammates live and breathe on the hoop hard court – in competition and in practice. Alisha practically grew up with a basketball in her hands. Lexie took a more circuitous route, playing up on youth boys’ soccer teams before finally trad-

ing Metro girls’ soccer for the game of roundball. With two older sisters to look up to and her father, Norm, as a coach, Alisha attended every high school hoop game at New Westminster Secondary from the time she was seven or eight years old. Alisha took part in the pregame warmups and shootarounds, and it was clear to anyone watching that she was a protégé. “Those days were fun. I’d never give them up. Watching those girls and watching my sisters be part of a team that was so close. Just observing that and being able to be a part of it myself, I think that’s what started it,” Alisha said. Lexie was a soccer star in the

making under South Burnaby Metro Club coach Lassad Salem. The two girls first met in South Burnaby’s Eagles basketball program, then called the Junior Grizzlies. With Norm as coach, Lexie found in him both support and flexibility while she pursued her outdoor sporting passion. Norm would either excuse her from hoop practices or juggle his training sessions to work around her soccer schedule. “It makes me feel happy, obviously,” said Lexie. “(Norm) helped me be what I have today.” “He’s been such an awesome coach to me and just a caring father. He sacrificed so much for me,” Alisha added. At home, Alisha was aware of

her father’s early morning getups – his switched shifts and late nights working in order to help others learn the game. “He never, ever pushed you past your limit. He pushed you to make you better,” Alisha said. When the girls were still in elmentary school – Alisha at Stride, and Lexie at Nelson – the pair played in a memorable Burnaby district final game that was not decided until after three periods of overtime. “I remember diving after loose balls and Alisha being on top of me, and diving out of bounds and hitting the walls,” Lexie said. Later that year, the two played together on the zone team at the Summer Games. It proved the beginning of the Basketball B.C. program for both of them.

Alisha went on to win two silver medals with the under-15 B.C. girls’ team at the national championships. Lexie won a silver at u-15 and a second silver in her first year of u-17, while also helping Canada’s national team qualify for the inaugural u-17 world championships last year. This summer, Lexie travelled to France, where the Canadians finished 11th overall at the world championships. “It was almost breathtaking to play against teams like that,” Lexie said. “There you can compare yourself with the rest of the world and that’s pretty incredible.” When she returned to Canada ◗Basketball Page 24

to watch her B.C. team take part at the nationals, she was unexpectedly called into service to replace an injured teammate. After a big first-round loss to the favoured Ontario girls, B.C. replied with a gutsy overtime win in the national championship gold-medal game. “In some ways it was just like that Grade 7 final, but we were on the same team,” said Lexie. Both girls harbour a dream to one day earn an athletic scholarship in the States. But they are equally adament under what conditions they would do so. Any post-secondary program would have to allow them to represent their

country on the national team if they ever got that chance, they said. And why? Because of the coaching. “National team coach (Allison McNeill) has been there for me, (like my father) and not just me, but most everyone. I owe it to her to play for her, just like they have been there for everyone else,” said Alisha. And so the careers of the two Burnaby sportswomen and their mentors continue to evolve and intersect. “We definitely owe it to them to play for them,” added Lexie. “It’s a privilege. One of the reasons we won the nationals was because of the coaches.” “I’ve been blessed with so many good coaches,” Alisha said. “So have I,” Lexie replied.

INSPIRING MINDS 6 DAYS A WEEK.

Tough week for grid Hyacks The Royal City Hyacks community football club suffered a pair of close losses in Langley last Sunday. The peewees were downed 19-12 with less than a minute left to play after turning the ball over on downs. The 10 and 11 year olds got off to a fast start, scoring on a pair of touchdowns by running back Jovan Mrock. However, with hardhitting linebacker Sarban Sidhu sidelined with an injury, New Westminster’s defence allowed the home team to score three times. The Hyacks had a chance to score late in the game following a fumble

recovery by safety Jonah Shaw, a Glenbrook Middle School student. Shaw was named the team’s player of the game with 10 tackles on defence, while averaging five yards per carry on offence. The junior bantam team also had a close call in Langley, losing 16-12. The Hyack majors were scored by Jamie Shiho on a 62-yard run and Jeff Lugtu, who ran 56 yards for a score. Nathan Macedo led the Hyack D with 13 tackles. He also carried the ball 15 times on offence. Dylan Musgrove and Ebraheim Farroghi had 11 and seven tackles, respect-

ively. In atom action, the Hyacks fell 26-6 in Cloverdale. Phoenix Bourrier scored the lone TD for New Westminster. The one bright spot was an 11-0 victory by the Hyack flag football team over North Surrey. Dante Baylis, Andros Dancey and Russell Moir scored one touchdown apiece for the winners, while Jaxson Domville played a strong game on the offensive line. Kicker Luke Perizzolo was good on two of three conversions. Xavier Venkataya and Aidan Sattler led a solid Hyack defence.

Local cartoonist pens hockey must read Retired Burnaby Central Secondary School instructor Merv Magus has come up with another literary gem. The talented South Burnaby cartoonist has recently completed his sixth in a series of light-hearted looks at the sport of hockey, entitled Hockey is a Funny Game. Magus first began displaying his wit in cartoon form in the NHL programs of the early Vancouver Canucks. He kept that

up for more than 25 years until the club format changed. In this most recent issue, Magus has added a special cartoon version of the history of hockey feature in the booklet. The 112-page soft cover is available through the website www.cartoonroom. com. The cartoon booklet will also soon be available at Lower Mainland Canlan Sports Centres.

TRUTH IN ''EMPLOYMENT'' ADVERTISING Canwest Community Publishing makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reﬂections

Aries March 21 - April 19: Work, drudgery and intensified health concerns end mid-week. (You’ll still feel a bit down, overburdened, Monday to Wednesday.) You face a month of fresh opportunities, new horizons and exciting meetings – and challenges, opposition, possible refusals. To succeed, be diplomatic, flexible, seek to join, accent other’s desires, seek permission. (You hate to do that last thing; but others hold the power now.) The extremes occur Monday to Wednesday, when great opportunities and great obstacles arise. Join/bond; if you fight, then refusal comes Thursday, and a challenge, a test, Saturday. Taurus April 20-May 20: September’s pleasure, romance, risk and creativity yield mid-week to a month of practical interests: jobs, health, machinery, schedules, etc. Think ahead Sunday, to career prospects, potential meetings with higher-ups. Fill out an application or “design” a future meeting. Pleasure still calls Monday afternoon to Wednesday eve – it’s social, flirty, entertaining. Your hopes and happiness are high! (And you’ll meet some unusual people.) Buckle down to chores, duties Thursday onward.You’ll see how giant the task is! Be quiet, contemplative. You’ll have enough energy, as Saturday night proves. Gemini May 21-June 20: September featured seclusion, domesticity, tiredness and re-examination of your basic direction in life. But midweek starts a month of romance (a co-worker?) pleasure, creative urges, risk and reward – you’ll ride a winning streak! You began to doubt your plans, hopes in recent weeks: soon you’ll see that some hopes were justified! Tackle career demands Monday to Wednesday: obstacles and opportunities mingle, might result in a career rebirth. Employment’s lucky to January. Thursday casts love in a sober light, yet raises your hopes: Friday, too. Deep sexual, financial changes brew.

Cancer June 21-July 22: The fluff exits, the serious arrives. Sunday/Monday you meet mysteries and financial considerations– and possible intimacy, sex, commitment to a lifestyle with someone compatible. Monday eve to Wednesday brings dilemmas about love, ethics and the law. Tuesday features confrontation, intriguing meetings, attraction or dispute; Wednesday brings bonding, rebirth. Yes, it could be love –or arch-enmity! You enter a month of children, home, security, food and soul Wednesday night. Thursday to Saturday can brew competing interests, cause deep undercurrents in these same zones (kids, home, etc.). Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Domestic friction grows to late October. Remember the benefits of a light touch! Also to late October, a legal, international, higher education, religious, publishing or similar involvement can end. (It might have already begun to cease last week.) This is neither good nor bad, just a natural end, so you can begin anew somewhere/somehow else. The month ahead is NOT a good time to begin a legal (or love) affair, to wed, nor to move into a new home. Careful with sex, money Tuesday, with paperwork, travel, and communications Thursday onward. Sexy attraction (and investment luck) Wednesday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Monetary and sensual urges grow through late October – you’ll feel restless about these, want to travel, talk, exchange paperwork or emails. This is more curiosity than consequence – you don’t have to commit yourself irrevocably to person or a project, purchase or investment. (Though you might. If you haven’t by December, you won’t.) Life is changing rapidly, but these are late-stage changes, so are weak or without a big future. The ones to build on will appear (or re-appear) in 2011. It’s wise to wait! Separations and meetings, Tuesday. Knitting together, “birth,” Wednesday.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Sept. 19 - Sept. 25

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: A month of weariness, burdens, seclusion (and delays) ends Wednesday night. The weeks ahead bring increased energy, charisma and effectiveness. You’ll have a winner’s timing! (First timing hint: start new and/or important projects Sept. 26 p.m. onward, not immediately.) This week tests your mettle. Tuesday brings work/ health dilemmas; Wednesday brings the “birth of the new” in these. Others oppose you (almost on principle – warped principle?) Thursday to Saturday – be sober, steady, diplomatic, ﬁrm. Money “swells” to late October: steer it to you, not from you. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Wednesday begins a month of quietude, contemplation, planning, government contacts, charitable actions and associations. Your energy levels decline. Take “power naps.” Despite an atmosphere of rest and recuperation, your reserves will be tapped, perhaps strained, by larger work demands, and heightened romantic/sexual charisma. The “love magnetism” lasts into January 2011 – a major affair lures singles! (Perhaps a burdensome one if it starts before November.) Your duties change this week. Embrace a creative/romantic “rebirth” Tuesday/ Wednesday. A lucky meeting surprises you! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Pressures will ease soon. Wednesday starts a month of entertainment, social delights, flirtation and light romance, optimism and plans for your future. Over the past six weeks, you’ve been intrigued by a sense that wishes were or would come true – now the “reality” comes – and it’s a good one! However, your life plans, goals and wishes are changing deeply, mostly due to money factors. This is clear Thursday to Saturday. (If it isn’t clear, examine clues.) Earlier, Monday to Wednesday accent security, family: differing views are an opportunity to grow new common ground.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Two big things start now. One is quite usual, a month of ambition, pressure, career and prestige involvements. All these are undergoing a sea change now to 2024, as Thursday to Saturday will show. The other big thing is quite unusual in its duration: an upsurge in social joys, a mild but sweet upswing in popularity and optimism into January 2011. It could trigger sweet romance! You can use this social upswing to aid your career (schmooze with VIPs, etc.). Now through October a wish can come true about re-establishing home or property. Contact people Wednesday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Midweek, you move from mystery to a month of enlightenment, from research to broadcasting what you’ve learned. (Broadcasting = writing the term paper, giving advice, discussions, media appearances, etc.) Now through October, higher-ups, parents and VIPs will be temperamental, impatient (mostly due to work pressures) – step lightly, be diplomatic, smile – a promotion looms! The weeks ahead feature love, understanding, far travel, legal matters, higher education, publishing, a philosophical outlook. All these are changing “at base,” as late week shows. Start a money project Wednesday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Open dealings become more private, hidden. Overt attraction moves toward intimacy. Negotiations move toward funding. Whatever was an opportunity in the last few weeks now demands commitment and serious action. Life in general takes a deep turn, into mystery, revelation, subconscious urges, sexual desires, investments and debt, change and consequence. Avoid legal involvements, lawsuits now to Oct. 28. Legal matters will also reward you, a bit in October but strongly November/December. Your charisma, energy surge Monday-Wednesday – re-tackle an ambitious administrative project. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
