◗ RECONCILIATION

City to issue historic apology Council embarks on reconciliation process over treatment of Chinese community BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster will apologize for its discriminatory actions toward Chinese Canadians in past eras. John Stark, the city’s senior social planner, said the Chinese reconciliation process undertaken by the City of New Westminster is the first such process taken by a municipality in Canada. He said research done by staff confirmed that city council acted in a discriminatory matter, particularly by restricting employment opportunities and by asking senior governments to pass discriminatory laws. On Monday, city council unanimously approved several actions to take in support of reconciliation with the Chinese community. The city will: ◗ Make a public acknowledgement that city actions contributed to past injustices involving the Chinese community in New Westminster. ◗ Make a public apology, in both English and Chinese, to the Chinese community for these injustices. ◗ Review the current use of the ◗Apology Page 4

Endorsement from the stars: Coun. Jaimie McEvoy displays his photo of Max Grodénchik, the actor best known for playing the Ferengi Rom on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – with its endorsement of the city’s living wage policy.

Kudos from deep space

City councillor gets some extraterrestrial support for living wage policy BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster’s recent decision to adopt a living wage policy received a shocking endorsement over the weekend from a decidedly unlikely source – a visiting Ferengi political leader. The alien race from the Alpha Quadrant is well-known for having by an obsession with profit, and Ferengi are notorious throughout the galaxy for their constant efforts to swindle people. The Ferengi religion is also based

on the principles of capitalism: they offer prayers and monetary offerings to a “Blessed Exchequer” in hopes of entering the “Divine Treasury” upon death, and fear an afterlife spent in the “Vault of Eternal Destitution.” Coun. Jaimie McEvoy attended the Star Trek convention held in Vancouver over the weekend and met Max Grodénchik, an actor best known for playing Rom on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. “He was very curious about our political system, how it works and why things are controversial,” said McEvoy, who had the additional surprise honour of finding out he was already known to actor William Shatner (a.k.a. Captain James T. Kirk) for being “that guy” who wears a Star Trek tie when launching major initiatives as a city

councillor. Grodénchik wasn’t the only Deep Space Nine cast member to give the councillor the thumbs-up for the policy. Barry Jenner, who played Admiral Ross on the series, told McEvoy, “Oh yeah, the living wage, we have that in L.A. I come from a working-class family, I understand that.” A living wage is defined as being the minimum hourly wage that’s necessary for a family of four, with two parents working full-time, to pay for necessities. It is currently determined to be $16.74 an hour in the Lower Mainland, over twice the $8 an hour provincial minimum wage frozen by the Liberal government since 2001.

Shatner beams in to help salmon Canadian actor lends his weight to MP’s private member’s bill aimed at fish farms

BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com

William Shatner wants wild B.C. salmon to live long and prosper, and he hopes the West Coast fishing industry won’t be reduced to a search for stock due to contamination from open-net salmon farms. The iconic Canadian actor recently lent his weight to a private member’s bill, Bill C-518, introduced in Ottawa early last month by New WestminsterCoquitlam MP Fin Donnelly that would ban open nets along the B.C. coast and force fish farm enterprises to adopt closed-containment systems. Donnelly, the federal NDP Fisheries and Oceans critic, is hoping the celebrity endorsement will prompt Canadians to sign up for his national postcard campaign to help his motion pass. Private member’s bills generally have an abysmal track record when it comes to becoming signed into law, but Donnelly is optimistic that if enough citizens send in postage-free postcards supporting the proposed amendment to the Fisheries Act, the federal Conservatives might be forced into action. The campaign was announced at a press conference Monday morning at the Fraser River Discovery Centre. Although Shatner had been in Vancouver over the weekend for a Star Trek convention, he wasn’t able to make the trek to New West as he had already made the voyage home. Instead, the 79-year-old actor

Experts believe it is a result of the parasitic lice coming from the farmed salmon that

are in the same waterways as the wild salmon. This lice is passed onto the young salmon as they go out to the ocean and they die. … Please join me in saving the salmon by signing the postcards and send them to your representative. Together, we can win this fight.” “Wild salmon are integral to British Columbia’s environ-

ment, economy and culture” said Donnelly. “I don’t want Pacific salmon to go the way of the Atlantic cod.” Last year, the Harper government ordered a federal commission to examine the collapse of sockeye salmon stocks after just one-tenth of an estimated 10.5 million sockeye returned to the Fraser River.

The commission, headed by B.C. Supreme Court Judge Bruce Cohen, is examining the possible impacts of farmed fish on wild salmon, but many critics fear findings are already conclusive and there is no time to waste in enacting new legislation.

City arts community lobbies for gallery

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The arts community will get another chance to try and convince the city to include an art gallery in the future multi-use civic centre. The city held an open house on June 10 to get input into the priorities for art spaces to be included in the new multi-use

civic facility. Some members of the arts community were surprised that a dedicated arts gallery wasn’t included in the plans for the building, which will be built at Eighth and Columbia streets. Council has agreed to the arts commission’s request to hold a followup session with the arts community. A meeting is being held July 6.

Coun. Bill Harper said there was some genuine confusion in the community about the components of the arts centre in the future civic centre. He said the city has yet to finalize what uses will be contained in about 11,000 square feet of space on the fourth floor of the building, which will accommodate arts services. “The real question is what is

the need in the community in a practical sense,” he said. Harper said the city’s art strategy stated there’s a lack of spaces in the city for arts services. While the building won’t be a dedicated arts centre, he said it will have a strong arts component with the inclusion of a theatre, a museum and arts spaces. Harper believes an art gallery becomes an economic driver for

the civic facility, especially given that it’s located on the SkyTrain line. “I am sympathetic to that,” he said about that request from the arts community. “I think we need to have a nice gallery.” City officials said a dedicated arts gallery was never part of the centre’s plans, but it was intended to include multi-purpose spaces ◗Gallery Page 10

Mayor appalled at spy allegations BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Mayor Wayne Wright is shocked by suggestions that municipal politicians in B.C. could be under the control of foreign governments. Canadian Security Intelligence Service director Richard Fadden said last week that municipal and provincial politicians in B.C. may be under the influence of foreign gov-

ernments. “For the life of me, I don’t know what they would get from a municipal person,” Wright said. “I am sure it is not me. I don’t think I would have that kind of influence or knowledge.” Wright has visited New Westminster’s sister cities with fellow council members and business leaders. “I think, quite frankly, when you go on a trip representing the city and the

City working on economic development New committee will include members from the city’s business community

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A new committee is being formed to help steer the Royal City’s economic development efforts. City council has directed staff to create an economic development advisory committee that will meet quarterly. The committee will communicate regularly and advise council on economic development matters in support of the city’s manager of economic development, Mitchell Edgar. “I think it is an important step forward to engage the business community and the community in general in terms of our economic development strategy and putting it forward,” said Coun. Bill Harper.

“There are lots of good ideas businesses have about their areas.” In 2008, the city developed the Livable City Strategy, which is the city’s economic development strategy. The city’s manager of economic development has been implementing some of the recommendations from the strategy. “We had the strategy, which was a general strategy. We developed a work plan,” Harper said. “This is about input into that work plan.” A staff report noted that the new economic development advisory committee will assist Edgar in examining economic development-related issues and establishing priorities, policies and procedures to help the city implement its economic development plans. Harper suspects that the advisory committee will bring more local issues to the council table. Council will receive reports following

City OK’s more money for 12th Street festival

New Westminster city council has approved a request for additional funding for the 12th Street Music Festival, despite a staff recommendation to reject the request. Last November, city council approved $4,600 of in-kind services to cover street closure costs, police services and rental of city tents and staging for the 12th Street Music Festival. The West

End Business Association had applied for $10,000 in cash and in-kind services for the festival, which is being held Sunday, Aug. 1 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. A staff report stated that the city receives grant requests from various festivals in the city. “Approval of the request from the West End Business Association for an additional $1,500 to supplement the $4,600 in-kind city

funded services already approved would in itself not be a significant financial burden to the city,” said the staff report. “The risk in accommodating this request is potential precedent established for other community organizations who do not feel the city’s support for their event is adequate.” Council, however, chose to approve the additional $1,500 in order to ensure the event could

take place. “You always worry about that because people are always doing that,” said Coun. Bill Harper about setting a precedent that would see other groups requesting additional money. “We have to get some proper policy and stick with it.” Coun. Bob Osterman also supported the request, noting the West End doesn’t ask a lot of the city. He said the council needs

to do an overall review of city festivals, how they’re funded and ensure that they’re planned in a coordinated way. “I don’t have a problem with that,” he said about the request. “It was $1,500.” In 2009, the 12th Street Festival received $6,300 from the city, which had included $4,800 for inkind services and $1,500 in cash. – Theresa McManus

Is Vander Zalm a threat to NDP? IN THE HOUSE

KEITH BALDREY

as Bill Vander Zalm replaced Carole James as the face of the opposition to the B.C. Liberal government? It certainly seems that way. James may be the official leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, but only in the legislature and in name only. Vander Zalm, on the other hand, is the very public leader of a populist tax revolt, and he’s the one getting all the ink and television news time – not the NDP leader. And it is Vander Zalm, along with his political sidekick, Chris Delaney, who seems to be calling the shots when it comes to taking on the B.C. Liberals. They are the ones crafting a recall strategy – not the NDP. James has largely been invisible the past few months. Perhaps this is by design, as she has made regional visits, garnering a bit of media coverage in smaller towns. Mike Harcourt adopted a similar strategy in the late 1980s, as he let his so-called “pit bulls” (MLAs Glen Clark, Dan Miller, Moe Sihota and Dale Lovick) hog all the face time with the major

media, while he toured the province for months on end. But Harcourt ran into trouble when, out of nowhere, Gordon Wilson and his disorganized B.C. Liberal party rocketed in the polls as the ruling Social Credit party disintegrated. James had better be careful that a similar scenario doesn’t engulf her own leadership. She has always seemed to have a tenuous grip on her own party, and if her party stalls in the polls while a third-party alternative catches fire with the voters, she had better watch out. These developments raise an interesting question: Can James and the NDP wrest the limelight away from the smiling, tanned, charming Vander Zalm? A number of New Democrats have assured me that when the time comes, they’ll simply elbow Vander Zalm aside, thank him for his time and prepare to take over the reins from the B.C. Liberals in 2013. But having spent an enormous amount of time around Vander Zalm during his successful Social Credit leadership race and his less successful time in the premier’s office, I wouldn’t bet the farm on anyone making him disappear from public view. If Vander Zalm follows through on his threat to start recall campaigns against targeted B.C. Liberal MLAs, he will continue to frame the political debate

Run-of-river projects aren’t devastating to the environment Dear Editor:

On a recent trip through the B.C. wilderness, I had to stop by the side of the road to stretch my legs and get some fresh air. While doing so, I noticed an operating run-of-river project in amongst the woods. I could not help but notice how small it really was; not much larger than a small barn you might see on a family farm. There were trees and vegetation everywhere, and they dwarfed any impact the project could possibly have had on the environment. And from what I could see, any impact there may have been was far less than the impact from the old logging roads criss-crossing the area.

HST deserved better explanation Dear Editor:

It’s good to see members of the provincial government acknowledging the terrible job that’s been done explaining the HST to public. The simple shift from the PST to a much more straightforward HST should have been communicated much more effectively than it was rather than allowing it to be hijacked by self-interested groups eager to exploit the public’s lack of knowledge.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Province needs revenue ◗ continued from page 6

Ironically, the people making the most noise about the HST seem to be the same people who complain that not enough money is being spent on health care, education and social services. Unfortunately for these noisy exploiters, however, the only way to spend more money on services is to increase provincial revenues, and the HST is not going to do that because it’s a revenue-neutral tax. What the people of this province should really be demanding from our elected officials is for them to leverage our rich base of natural resources to help pay for the services the government provides. If India, with its rapidly developing economy, is interested in our cedar products, then that should be pursued vigorously. If our rocks and minerals have value, then the mining industry should be allowed to develop this resource and contribute to the province’s coffers. And if people need clean energy, then that’s something we’ve got a lot of here in B.C., and we should be developing it to help the government pay for all the things the people say they want. Michael McBratney, Port Moody

Child poverty a ‘travesty’ Dear Editor:

For the seventh year in a row, B.C. has the highest child poverty rate in Canada. Rather than admitting that this is a problem that should addressed by the legislature, our provincial government will be too busy cheering the fact that the child poverty level was reduced by a single percentage point; now only 13 per cent of

all children in B.C. live in poverty – this is more children living in poverty than the combined population of Nanaimo and Prince George. The key here is that our government has to start looking at policies that help the people instead of their corporate fundraisers. Living in the Metro Vancouver area, it’s hard not to notice the price of goods and services here. Worse still is the cost of housing. The B.C. Liberals should start immediately focusing on building lowincome housing across the province. The partnership they have fostered with the City of Vancouver and the Streetohome Foundation was a good start, but this government needs to do much more to make up for 10 years of ignoring the issue. These projects must be spread throughout our province. An increase to the minimum wage would also aid in reducing the levels of child poverty in B.C. The B.C. Liberals have failed to increase the minimum wage for 10 years, leaving it at $8 an hour, the lowest minimum wage in Canada. Thanks to inflation, this has actually meant there was a 30 per cent reduction in the real wages that are being taken home by families, leading to more families and children being left under the low-income cut-off and being forced into poverty. The government could follow the example made by the City of New Westminster and institute a fair wage law forcing employers to pay a wage high enough to sustain families. Seven years is a long time to hold the distinction for the highest percentage of children in poverty. Hopefully the Liberals get the message and start working on policies to end this travesty. Trevor Ritchie, Burnaby

NDP: A new threat from the right? ◗ continued from page 6

in this province. It won’t be James and the NDP who are seen as the prime opponents (and alternative) to the government, it will be Vander Zalm and his merry little gang. Of course, pulling off a successful recall campaign is tough business. Vander Zalm will need the signatures of at least 40 per cent of the voters in a particular riding, a goal made even tougher by the fact that the voter’s list is significantly out of date. Vander Zalm has released his “hit list” of 24 B.C. Liberal MLAs he is targeting for recall if the government doesn’t scrap the hysterical sales tax. Of those, 21 occupy seats from regions the old

federal Reform Party used to sweep with some big majorities. Having underestimated the popularity of the antiHST petition, I’m not about to totally dismiss the chances of a successful recall. The old Reform country is rich with anti-tax populism, and it’s easy to imagine a recall petition catching fire with the voters in those areas. It will be difficult to pull off, but all Vander Zalm needs is one or two winning campaigns. If he can achieve that goal, he will push James farther out of the limelight, thus weakening her leadership even further. While it’s true a fractured B.C. Liberal party is a perfect recipe for an

NDP win in 2013, New Democrats had best ensure a new populist and freeenterprise party doesn’t catch too much fire around Vander Zalm and Delaney. Given the volatile nature of the B.C. electorate, it’s conceivable a third party could swamp the existing B.C. Liberals to the point of simply replacing them. That would put the NDP up against a single freeenterprise party again. The NDP jumped on the anti-HST bandwagon for obvious political advantage. They had better hope that bandwagon doesn’t get so crowded that they end up getting pushed off it as it heads down the road. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

How much do your LIVE BANDS city councillors earn? Every Friday & Saturday Nights! BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster taxpayers paid nearly $300,000 for city council in 2009. A statement of financial information released Monday shows that council members received a total of $292,622 in remuneration and $52,246 in expenses in 2009. Mayor Wayne Wright topped the list with $85,311 in remuneration, $7,133 for expenses, and $5,151 in expenses for his role as chair of the New Westminster police board. Council members’ expenses included travel, memberships and vehicle leases. Coun. Jonathan Cote received $35,979 in remuneration, followed by Coun. Jaimie McEvoy ($34,934), Coun. Lorrie Williams ($34,528), Coun. Bob Osterman ($34,312) and councillors Bill Harper and Betty McIntosh ($33,779). “We are spending money to do the job,” Wright said. “If you are spending money

to do the job, somebody has to pay for it. I don’t see this as being exorbitant.” McEvoy’s expenses were tops by a city councillor at $10,307, while Osterman claimed the fewest expenses at $717. Other councillor expenses were: Cote – $3,314; Harper – $8,383; McIntosh – $8,514; and Williams – $8,727. Williams said a good proportion of her expenses were for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities duties that she does on behalf of the city, travelling to their nationwide meetings and conventions. The report noted that a provincial grant paid for a portion of the costs of Harper, McEvoy, McIntosh and Wright travelling to Asia for sister city relations and economic development activities in 2009. McIntosh believes community members are well compensated for the work they get from council members. “I really think we are a great bargain,” she said. “We are a great bargain for our community.”

A family run business does make a difference

City Wi-Fi delayed BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster is going live a little later than expected. The city’s small-scale Wi-Fi project was set to get underway by June 28 but has been slightly delayed because of technical issues. “We are going with the latest technology Motorola has,” said Blair Fryer, the city’s manager of communications. “They are trying to tweak the technology before

implementing it in New West.” It’s expected the project will get underway by the middle of July, rather than June 28. The pilot project will target three areas – Queen’s Park, the public library and the uptown business corridor. Seven external access point antennas and 11 internal antennas have been installed at these locations as part of the project. “Wireless users can log on for up to one hour free per day,” Fryer said about the pilot project.

of the city’s new policy can only be described as a stellar achievement, it is worth noting that Rom is hardly a typical Ferengi. For years a lowly waiter who worked in a bar owned by his ruthless brother Quark, the character was known for not having the “lobes” to be a real businessman and was once cruelly described by Odo the space station’s security chief, as ”an idiot, (who) couldn’t fix a straw if it was bent.”

Nonetheless, in a surprise twist, Rom was appointed in the show’s final season to become the new Grand Nagus, the leader of the Ferengi people and economy, and is therefore authorized to speak for his entire species. “I said it would be a lot of fun if the Grand Nagus could congratulate me on the living wage, and he said sure,” said McEvoy of the signed photograph. Representatives of the Grand Nagus could not be reached for comment by The Record’s deadline.

years ago when he went fishing after filming an episode of the TV drama Boston Legal on Vancouver Island. Shatner’s character, Denny Crane, travelled to B.C. to go fly fishing but learned the wild salmon population was under attack because of fish farms. Donnelly’s bill would see the transition from open nets to closed-containment systems within five years of Bill C-518 becoming law.

Closed containment systems would provide a permanent barrier, rather than the porous open-net pens that are the industry standard, to prevent commercially farmed salmon from escaping into the ocean and spreading disease, particularly sea lice that cling on to fish. The proposed bill would also require federal fisheries minister Gail Shea to develop a transition plan within 18 months that would protect all industry jobs.

Celebrations mark two milestones Hilda Bentsen and St. Aidan’s Church mark their 100th birthdays

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Centenarians: Hilda Bentsen, pictured outside St. Aidan’s Presbyterian Church. Bentsen just celebrated her 100th birthday, and her church also marks its 100th anniversary this year.

Hilda Bentsen and St. Aidan’s Presbyterian Church are sharing an impressive milestone in 2010. The New Westminster resident celebrated her 100th birthday on June 18. This year also marks the church’s 100th anniversary. Bensten, who moved to New Westminster about five years ago, celebrated her birthday with fellow church members on June 20. She was born June 18, 1910 in Eidsfjord, Norway. “It was great,” said granddaughter Kari Guloien. “She was just thrilled.” Bentsen came to Canada at the age of 20, hoping for a better future in Canada. She was also hoping to find her father, who had left Norway 10 years earlier to make a better life for his family in Canada. Bentsen met her future Norwegian husband Ragnar at a dance in Prince Rupert in 1930, and they married in 1932. After raising four children in the Queen Charlotte Islands, the couple moved to the Lower Mainland in 1955. When her husband passed away, Bentsen moved to New Westminster to be closer to her grandchildren and her church family at St. Aidan’s. Bentsen enjoys her weekly outings to St. Aidan’s with her granddaughter and her husband and three of her great-grandchildren. “It just feels like family, everyone here is so warm and kind to me,” she said. “I

really miss my visits to church when I can’t make it on Sundays.” When asked what she wishes for most at the age of 100, Bentsen said she wishes she could find out what happened to her father. “A year before I left Norway I found dozens of letters to my mother pleading (for) her to come to Canada,” she told her granddaughter. “I may have some relatives that don’t even know I exist. I could go in peace if only I knew what happened to him.” In addition to celebrating her own birthday at the church, Bentsen also helped celebrate St. Aidan’s Presbyterian Church’s 100th anniversary that same weekend. The church had a strawberry tea and fashion show featuring 100 years of wedding gowns. According to Guloien, a small group of people met in New Westminster on Dec. 10, 1909 and voted to organize a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, which would be known as West End Presbyterian Church. The first services were held in a schoolhouse on 12th Street. In 1910, a church member purchased two lots at the corner of Seventh Avenue and 14th Street and donated them to the congregation. The church was built on the corner lot, officially opened on Oct. 6, 1910 and was renamed St. Aidan’s in June 1911. The church’s 100-year history includes a couple of votes on whether to join with the Methodists and Congregationalists, but the congregation chose to remain with the Presbyterian Church. The Vagabond Players, who are now based out of the Bernie Legge Theatre in Queen’s Park, got their start as a drama group at St. Aidan’s in 1937.

Your BC Lions — In Their Own Words I grew up in North Vancouver and have been playing football since my early teens. My size kind of dictated what position I play (offensive line) but I’ve learned to really love my role on the club and on the offence. As the centre I do get to touch the ball on every play, so it all starts with me. Growing up, I was very close to my father and he was a big influence on me during times I needed him most. Picking my college, dealing with adversity, being the best person and player I can be were a product of his guidance and it’s one of the reasons I love taking part in our club’s community programs. Among the programs I take part in, I would say Read, Write and Roar is among my favourites because I’ve seen firsthand what happens to a young person’s life when they grasp the ability to read. The benefits of literacy last a lifetime and I take pride in knowing that I might be planting the seed for a future reader. Dean Valli in action on the field. Photo courtesy BC Lions.

ALL-INCLUSIVE RENTAL RATES FROM $1,900/MONTH RATE INCREASE IN EFFECT JULY 1ST

By Dr. Panshi Peng T.C.M.D. Fatigue is one of the most common complaints that doctors, from both mainstream and alternative medicine, hear about. People with fatigue typically report a sense of weariness, a lack of energy, listlessness, or a generalized disinterest in family, work, and leisure activities. This can often cause serious disruptions in one’s life. On a short-term basis, fatigue should not be of great concern and is usually the result of lifestyle choices. However, if fatigue persists, it may be an indicator of a more serious underlying cause, and you should consult a qualified medical practitioner. Persistent, abnormal fatigue may be indicative of depression, anxiety, infections (mononucleosis or tuberculosis), endocrine disorders (hypothyroidism or diabetes), heart failure, chronic lung, kidney or liver disease, anemia, cancer, poor nutrition, or even the result of medications.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been effective with such problems; it replenishes the energy necessary for activity and healing by using acupuncture and herbs to help boost the vital energy of the body. In TCM, energy is known as Qi (“chee”), which flows through an intricate network of energy highways in the body called meridians, and is responsible for the functioning of our organs, immune system, and hormonal system. In TCM, Qi is a very important part of life, and health. Fatigue is the most obvious symptom of a Qi deficiency. Other manifestations

include susceptibility to diseases, ranging from viral or bacterial infections to rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes. Qi deficiency causing fatigue may also be seen as the cause of more serious disease, rather than just the result, so TCM has developed effective treatments. Perhaps the most famous substance known as a benefit for lack of energy is Ginseng. Ginseng, Royal Jelly, and other substances used to treat fatigue are thought to generate more Qi in the body by specifically nourishing the organs that are directly responsible for the production of energy. Acupuncture works in a similar way. By the insertion of very fine needles in certain parts of the body, the Qi available in the body can be directed to the organs that are necessary for the production of more Qi. If these organs are undernourished or deficient in any way, the production of Qi will be impeded and fatigue may be one of the results. Traditional Chinese Medicine addresses the problem of fatigue in a completely unique way and has potential to treat fatigue while the cause is being identified. The next time you feel fatigued, consider using traditional Chinese herbs, or visit an acupuncturist who may be able to help you. For more information, please visit: www.acupuncturevancouver.ca Dr. Panshi Peng, TCMD is a governmentlicensed practitioner of acupuncture, Dr. of Traditonal Chinese Medicine, His office is located at the corner of Joyce and Kingsway.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR SENIORS

your guide to mature living

Seniors turn retirement into a golden opportunity advance or as planned advances over a set period of time. They can even combine a lump sum advance at the beginning with ongoing advances over time. No payments are required until the home is sold or both homeowners move out. Burt and Irene loved their home – and all the family memories that went with it – and had no intention of selling anytime soon. So they contacted their financial planner who helped them access more than 35% of the equity locked up in their home with CHIP Home Income Plan. She also helped them invest most of the money in low-risk, income yielding securities, supplementing their monthly cash flow. Next month, Burt and Irene are taking their four grandchildren to meet Mickey Mouse in Disney World. It’s an all-expensespaid trip, courtesy of a proud Grandma and Grandpa. Burt and Irene of Parry Sound, Ont., felt fortunate to retire when they were in their late 50s. But after a dozen fun-filled years of travelling and assisting their children with major expenses, the couple, who are now in their early 70s, noticed that the RRSP savings they thought would last a lifetime, were running low. To maintain their lifestyle with a consistent and dependable income stream, Burt and Irene considered a range of options including traditional bank loans or selling the family home. One day, a friend told them about a CHIP Home Income Plan reverse mortgage, which allows the senior homeowners to access their home equity but make no payments until they sell and move. A reverse mortgage is a home equity borrowing solution that lets seniors 60 years and older turn their residence into a source

of tax-free cash. For those like Burt and Irene who are retired, a reverse mortgage provides extra income to travel more often, buy a holiday property, invest in a new hobby or a small business, or assist children or grandchildren with their education or other major purchases. Homeowners can choose how they want to receive the money – either in one lump sum

“If it wasn’t for CHIP, we would never have been able to stay in our home,” she says. “Now we will be financially worry-free for the rest of our lives, and that’s one of the most fantastic feelings anyone our age can have.” CHIP Home Income Plans are available now at low rates.Contact your financial advisor or mortgage broker, and more

Not only did you repair it, but did so in 20 minutes. I was in a hurry and could have come back another day. Your charge was $250 less than the minimum quoted to be by the original supplier ...

Around Town: Bursaries for athletes ◗ continued from page 11

Westminster Little League alumnus Justin Morneau, who is a first baseman for the Minnesota Twins. Bursaries are given to individuals who have a longstanding association with New Westminster Baseball, either as players or umpires, and who exemplify the ideals of good sportsmanship and work ethic. “It’s another way of putting our association’s mission into action,” said Ron Suffron, president of New Westminster Baseball. “It’s about the kids, baseball and striving for excellence on and off the field.” This year’s winners are: Brandon Harder, who will be attending Simon Fraser University to pursue a degree in teaching; Mathew Battocchio, who will be studying criminology at Douglas College; and Sam Rokeby, who will be studying natural resource management at the University of Alberta. This is the second year that New Westminster Baseball has awarded bursaries of $1,000 each. The fund was set up with money donated to New Westminster Baseball by Justin Morneau, G&F Financial, Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers, Me ‘n’ Ed’s

Pizza and the Kinsmen Club of New Westminster.

Lions Club helps all over the city

The New Westminster Lions Club has raised more than $1 million for charity since it was chartered in 1946. The club has launched a new year in its long history of service to the community with the installation of a new slate of officers on June 14. “I am looking forward to leading various projects and continuing the Lion Club’s commitment to serving the community,” said Louisa Lundy, an active member of the New Westminster Lions Club for the past 10 years and the club’s new president. Robert Gillmore was elected club secretary, and Judy Brennan will be the club’s treasurer. A highlight of the evening was a presentation by retiring president June Witty, of $5,600 to Monarch Place, a transition house for women and children fleeing violence. The donation was raised at club’s annual fashion show and charity auction, Hats Off to Spring. The New Westminster Lions Club raises funds

through a variety of projects in the local community such as pancake breakfasts and garage sales, as well as its annual charity fashion show and auction. Club members are gearing up for a busy summer of fundraising projects. Proceeds from past fundraising events have gone to provide assistance to individuals in the community, bursaries, equipment for Royal Columbian hospital and more. The New Westminster Lions Club has 20 members and meets on the second and fourth Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at Boston Pizza in Columbia Square.

Cemetery tour highlights history A Sense of History Research Services is hosting a cemetery tour with a historical twist. The tour is part of a larger series and will feature Fraser Cemetery. It takes place on Sunday, July 11, starting at 3 p.m. near the office of the Fraser Cemetery at 100 Richmond St. in the Sapperton neighbourhood. The tour will introduce people who played diverse roles in this part

Tips for summer garden maintenance BRANCHING OUT

F

ANNE MARRISON

or people gardening with annual flowers, July is a peaceful month involving little more than watering and doing deadheading to keep blooms coming. Geraniums, marigolds, sweet peas and dahlias need the most frequent attention. Big, double

annual flower heads usually fall apart after rain and will attract slugs if not deadheaded. Hanging baskets are usually the first containers to dry right out. Watering them aloft won’t work because dry soil shrinks away from the side of the pot, making a circular channel that water floods through. But dunking hanging baskets deeply in a laundry tub, sink or big pan of water for a couple of hours will bring them back to normal. This works with standing containers too. People with perennial

gardens can find extra things to do. Late July is a good time to divide and replant bearded irises before they grow into a thick, matted clump with few flowers. Some perennials, like lupins and the tall cranesbills, will rebloom in early fall if the faded flowers are sheared back. Any deciduous shrubs that have flowered can be pruned now. This includes philadelphus (mock orange), ceanothus, spirea and weigela. Summer heather also needs to be cut back lightly after blooming so that some

green wood is left to shoot again. Deep pruning of heathers results in old, brown stems that don’t regrow. Removing seed heads from large rhododendrons is very hard work and really only done in situations and with people who want them to look good at all times. All the long-blooming roses need deadheading a few inches down to a largish leaf. This should be on the outside of the stem. If the mid part of a rose bush gets overcrowded, fungal diseases thrive there. Any time you start

watering, try to include the roses. They like a lot of water. When rose leaves have semi-circular holes, that’s good news for the garden because it means you have leaf-cutter bees. These are useful pollinators that work later into the summer than mason bees. The tiny, stripy wasps are also good pollinators. The big yellow-jacket wasps are a scary nuisance that needs to be removed if they have nests around doors or windows or in the ground. But yellow-jackets are also good pest-controllers, and some gardeners

leave nests if they’re in non-threatening places. In the vegetable garden, green onions and winter beets can still be planted. A lot of gardeners had problems with peas this year. Peas can be planted up to mid-July for a fall harvest. Right now, garlic is producing curly stalks with embryonic, wispy heads of bulbils. When young, these can be cut up and used in stir-fry recipes Sometimes, farmers’ markets sell them. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her by e-mail, amarrison@shaw.ca.

Third-rounders the key at NHL draft BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

A handful of local hockey players were picked up in the NHL’s annual junior entry draft last weekend. Jordan Weal, a former Northwest Giants centre who lit it up on the same line with Jordan Eberle on the Regina Pats this season, was one of three wellknown faces to Lower Mainland viewers to go in the third round of the draft Saturday. Weal was taken 70th overall by the Los Angeles Kings. Weal finished third overall in the Western Hockey League in scoring, garnering 102 points, including 35 goals for the Pats last year. The 5-10 playmaker was pegged to go in the second round among domestic prospects by NHL Central Scouting. Five picks later Kevin Sundher, who captained the Burnaby Winter Club to a Western Canadian AAA bantam title in 2007, was snapped up by the Buffalo Sabres with the 75th overall pick. Sundher, the B.C. minor hockey player of the year as a 15-year-old, scored 25 goals and had 61 total points in the Dub with the Chilliwacks Bruins last season. Also going to Buffalo in the third round, 80th overall, was Calgary Hitmen defenceman Matt MacKenzie of New Westminster. The 6-2 blueliner scored six times and assisted on 34 others in the regular season and another six goals and 16 helpers in the playoffs to help take the

He’s a Sabre now: New Westminster’s Matt MacKenzie was drafted 80th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in the National Hockey League junior entry draft on Saturday. Hitmen all the way to the Memorial Cup. MacKenzie has played three seasons in the WHL. “I was kind of in the spot I didn’t know what to expect,” said MacKenzie, when contacted Monday in Osoyoos. “As the picks kept going I was getting a little nervous. But I was happy with where I am in Buffalo. “You just kind of take a sigh and everything you

have worked for has happened. And then it’s back to work,” he said. In less than a week, MacKenzie will be taking part in his first NHL development camp for Buffalo’s past and present draft picks in Niagara Falls, beginning on July 4. MacKenzie was drafted from the Burnaby Winter Club, where he says he got his first introduction to a systems coach under John

Batchelor. He also learned on the job from another solid Hitmen defenceman, Karl Alzner, who went No. 5 overall to the Washington Capitals in 2007. “I learned a lot from him, too. We both are more on the defensive-minded side, making simple, easy plays and let the forwards do the work,” he said. As an 18-year-old, MacKenzie would be ineli-

gible to play pro in the American Hockey League. It is more probable he will play a fourth season in Calgary with the Hitmen. Another BWC product, Austin Madaisky, was taken in the fifth round, 124th overall, by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Madaisky, a 6-2 defenceman with the Kamloops Blazers of the WHL had ◗Hockey Page 30

Salmonbellies finally land their big fish

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Salmonbellies closed a deal that will bring the No. 1 pick overall in the 2009 Western Lacrosse Association draft to Queen’s Park Arena. The Salmonbellies traded the playing rights of Athan Iannucci to the Langley Thunder in return for former Burnaby junior Laker Alex Gajic. The 6-4 righthander led the B.C. junior A league in scoring with 45 goals and 50 assists in 2008. Gajic, who played with his two older brothers, Nenad and Ilija, on the Colorado Mammoth in the National Lacrosse League this season, scored 26 goals and 22 assists in his rookie pro debut.

“We finally got our guy,” said New Westminster president and general manager Dan Richardson Tuesday. The one-for-one deal was for substantially less than the initial offer on draft day for the No. 1 overall pick, Richardson said. “We were prepared to go to July 1 and have Alex come to us for nothing and not be eligible to play until next year,” he added. The Gajic family is currently vacationing in Serbia and could not be reached for comment. They are expected back on July 6. “We’re very excited. We get a young, quality righthander, which is what our coaches have been clammering for,” Richardson said. The earliest Alex could suit up with Ilija and Nenad, the Salmonbellies team captain, would

be July 7 in Langley against the team that first drafted him. New Westminster hosts the Maple Ridge Burrards at Queen’s Park Arena on July 8. Last week, the senior A Salmonbellies eked out another two victories. The ’Bellies came back to defeat the visiting Nanaimo Timbermen 14-12 at Queen’s Park on June 24, before getting by the Adanacs in Coquitlam 10-8 in overtime on Saturday. In a game slightly reminiscent of New West’s 15-11 overtime win over the T-Men in May, the Salmonbelllies found another gear to step up the action in the late going. Tyler Crompton initiated a pivotal four-goal final period, knotting the contest 11-11 with the

first shot on goal in the frame. Crompton then scored the goahead goal midway through the period. Both goals were assisted by Cliff Smith and Kevin Lunnie. “I wanted to get something going. Everyone was outstanding tonight. Our offence was clicking from the last five minutes of the second period on,” Crompton said. In Coquitlam, the Salmonbellies played mainly catchup against the A’s. New Westminster held a brief lead in the middle frame after back-to-back goals by Crompton and Jordan McBride 21 seconds apart. Coquitlam retook the lead in the opening minutes of the third ◗WLA Page 30

The junior A New Westminster Salmonbellies haven’t looked better than they did Sunday in a 13-5 victory over Victoria. For perhaps the first time this season, the Salmonbellie offence looked as good as its tough back end in pitching backto-back 6-1 periods against the Shamrocks to start the game at Queen’s Park Arena. Tyler Digby led the firstperiod onslaught with two goals and one assist, while Keegan Bal and T.J. Cowx combined for two goals and three assists, respectively, in the middle frame to carry on the assault. Digby and Mark Negrin led the Salmonbellies with a game-high five points. Goalie Frank Scigliano was solid again, stopping 28 shots to reduce his league-best goals against average to 5.24 goals per game and up his chart-topping save percentage to 85.23 per cent. “We knew we had to come back and show something – that we have a good team. We didn’t want to lose twice. We want to get first place back,” said Salmonbellies transition Matt MacGrotty, referring to last week’s 11-6 loss in Coquitlam. The win put New Westminster just one point behind first-place Coquitlam, following its 8-5 win over the Lakers in Burnaby also Sunday. With three games left for both New West and the A’s, the final season matchup for both clubs is looking more and more like the season-maker for the winning team. “It’s going to be an intense game. We’re really looking forward to it. It’s a preview for what we expect in the finals,” MacGrotty said. “(The offence) is starting to feed off the defence. It’s looking good now. They know what they want to do. They’re ready to play, and just in time, I think.” The junior A Salmonbellies will play host to the Nanaimo Timbermen at Queen’s Park Arena tonight (Wednesday). Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m.

been listed as a possible fourth-round pick by Central Scouting among North American players. Port Moody’s Ryan Johansen of the Portland Winterhawks was the highest B.C. pick, going in the first round fourth overall to Columbus on Friday. A total of 43 major junior Western league players were taken by NHL clubs. None were drafted by the Vancouver Canucks. The B.C. Hockey League had four players taken in the annual pro draft, including Penticton Vees forward Beau Bennett, who was the Interior conference rookie of the year last season. Bennett, a 20th overall pick, was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Forward Lexie Der of St. Thomas More Collegiate and guard Alisha Roberts of York House were both selected to the under-17 provincial girls’ team by Basketball B.C. New Westminster Secondary School guard Ariana Sider was also named to the girls’ u-16 team.

period, but first star Jordan Hall, with two goals in the period, including the game-tying marker late in the contest, assured the visitors of an extra period of overtime. In OT, Kyle Ross and McBride both scored to give the senior A ’Bellies their third straight overtime victory. The team has outscored the opposition 90 to date in extra time. “We expect to win every game, but it is unrealistic to win every game,” Crompton said. “It’s been an up-anddown season, but it’s time to start stepping up. It finally clicked in our heads we have to get going. I really think we’re headed in the right direction.”

At home, Craig Conn led the Salmonbellies with three goals and three assists, while McBride also added a hat trick. Smith and Sean Robinson had a goal apiece in similar fivepoint outings. Goalie Tyler Richards was sharp in the latter part of the game after a lessthan-stellar start, making 34 saves. Richards was also between the pipes for the win over the A’s, stopping 45 Coquitlam shots for his third win of the season. Hall led the Salmonbellies in Coquitlam, tallying a five-point night. New Westminster plays host to the Adanacs in a return match at Queen’s Park Arena on Canada Day. Game time is 7:45 p.m.

Third par-none Jason Lang/THE RECORD

Hands free catch: New Westminster’s Brandon Braich makes the catch ahead of Hyacks teammate Jeremy Wilson in a game against Seaquam at the 15th annual Big Kahuna 7-on-7 Passing Challenge at Mercer Stadium on Saturday. Braich was later the first-ever Hyack to be named to the all-tournament team, along with Tanner Pierce from Mission, Zack Dinsmore of Cedar Park Christian, Sam Davies of Kelowna, B.J. Bouchard of Ballenas and MVP quarterback and free safety Taylor Loffler of Kelowna. Kelowna defeated Ballenas in the tournament final by a score of 45-36. Cedar Park Christian from Bothell, Washington placed third overall. New Westminster finished in sixth place in the 10-team competition.

St. Thomas More Collegiate student Alan Tolusso placed first among under-15-year-olds at the recent Zone 4 u-18 junior boys’ golf championships. Tolusso, just 14, shot a four-over-par 147 to finish third behind winner James Fahy and STM schoolmate Michael Belle at the junior zones on June 20. All three qualified for the B.C. championships.

Obituaries

MAUREEN KAREN DOUGLAS (Harder)

June 26, 1942 – June 24, 2010 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Maureen in her 67th year. Born in Camrose, Alberta, Maureen moved to Burnaby, BC where she attended Edmonds Elementary School, Burnaby South & Central High Schools, before graduating from the Essondale School of Psychiatric Nursing. She later went on to have a successful career as a realtor in the New Westminster, Burnaby and Coquitlam areas. Maureen enjoyed an active lifestyle, as well as gardening, and treasured her time with family and friends. Maureen’s greatest joy was being grandma to her seven grandchildren, who knew her as their “Momee”. She will be remembered by all those who knew her as a hardworking, loving lady, with a wonderful smile. Maureen will be missed by her sisters, Cheryl and Judy (Richard), her three children, Christina (Randy), Angela (Paul) and Aaron (Kim), and her seven grandchildren – Brittany, Kyle, Emily, Benjamin, Makena, Summer, and Lilah. She was predeceased by her mother, Mildred, father, George, and step-mother, Grace. A heartfelt thank you is given to the staff at Buchanan Lodge, who showed Maureen great love and compassion, and to her wonderful care companions, Vikki and Christina, who brightened Maureen’s days. A celebration of life to honor Maureen will be held on Friday, July 16 at 10:30 a.m. at Buchanan Lodge, 409 Blair Avenue, New Westminster. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Maureen’s memory to The Salvation Army (www.salvtionarmy.ca).
