Royal Columbian expansion plans sent to province BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Royal Columbian Hospital has submitted a concept expansion and renovation plan to the provincial government that would address the “huge need” for space at Royal Columbian Hospital. Fraser Health has been working with the Ministry of Health Services to finalize and submit the site concept plan for the redevelopment of Royal Columbian Hospital. “Right now we are in the business planning stage,” said Brad Foster, senior consultant with capital projects for Fraser Health. “We are looking at a couple different scenarios.” Foster said all of the scenarios call for expansion on the existing Royal Columbian Hospital site. The scenarios could include expanding existing building upwards or building new towers. Foster said New Westminster is an important part of the hospital’s constituency, but the hospital serves the entire North Fraser area and plays a role in provincial health care. ◗Hospital Page 4

A big step: Heather Corbett and son Jonathan are getting set for Jonathan’s ﬁrst day at school. Jonathan will be one of the ﬁrst students in full-day kindergarten.

Five-year-old Jonathan Corbett’s trek to kindergarten this fall won’t just be a personal milestone, it’s also a landmark year for public education in this province. The Sapperton schoolboy will be among the first class of the provincial government’s phased-in shift toward providing full-day kindergarten for fiveyear-olds. This year, only some schools will offer the program, but by the fall of 2011 every school in the province will have full-day kindergarten. “Full-day kindergarten is probably one of the most important social policy initiatives that government has introduced over the past 30 years,” superintendent John Woudzia told The Record earlier this year. Jonathan’s mom, Heather Corbett, said her son is prepared for the full-day experience. “Jonathan is definitely ready because he’s been at Montessori (preschool) for two years. He’s been going five days a week, so he’s ready,” she said. But Corbett said full-day kindergarten might be a challenge for children who’ve had no classroom time. “I definitely feel for parents whose kids haven’t had any preschool at all. I think it will be a long day (for them),” she said. Local parents, for the most part, are embracing the full-day option. Sandra Pace, the district’s director of instruction, wrote in an e-mail to The Record that there was “substantial” interest in having full-day kindergarten and there are currently waiting lists at the four local schools that offer it. At Queen Elizabeth Elementary in Queensborough, the district noticed a slight increase in enrolment of students ◗Kindergarten Page 8

Transit cops investigate spa fraud Transit Police arrested a man on Aug. 17 at the Braid SkyTrain station who they believe is a suspect in an ongoing investigation related to the sale of fraudulent spa treatment packages. Transit Police had received information that spa gift certificates were being sold in and around Lower Mainland SkyTrain stations and bus loops. The spa in question, Spa Utopia, reported that the spa packages being sold were previously legitimate but the promotion had now ended. During the investigation, Transit Police discovered that credit card information, PIN numbers, addresses and telephone numbers were also illegally obtained. During the arrest of the male suspect, Transit Police seized two debit and credit card skimming machines. The man has been charged with one fraud count. He appeared in court and has been released until his next court appearance. According to Transit Police spokesperson Const. Jim Biring, this incident is also being investigated for possible connection to similar fraud files in the Lower Mainland. – Alfie Lau

Parents, district meet on school plans Parents want speciﬁcs about how new schools will meet the needs of the wider community

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Parents met with the city and school district on Monday night to talk about what community services should be built at the three new schools in New Westminster. Along with building the elementary, middle and high school, the provincial government funds Neighbourhoods of Learning centres, which provide community services in schools. Neighbourhood of Learning schools may have child-care programs, health clinics, sports programs, a seniors’ centre or a family resource centre. If a new, 1,000-seat performing art centre is built at the high school, a large chunk of funding for it would come from

Neighbourhoods of Learning. Don Ellam, chair of the Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary parent advisory council, attended the two-hour meeting. “Generally, it was a replay of the presentation and the concepts around Neighbourhoods of Learning,” he said. “There was nothing very specific about what was going on.” It wasn’t “terribly informative,” added Ellam, who was one of approximately eight district parent advisory council members who attended the meeting. “From the DPAC point of view, we are looking for specifics, you know, what do you have?” he said. There was some general talk about various community programs such as a UBC counselling program, which is currently housed at the high school, an early learning program at John Robson and a possible immigrant centre, Ellam said. The Neighbourhoods of Learning program, founded by the Ministry of Education, allows up to 15 per cent of

Hospital: Emergency department a critical part of expansion plans ◗ continued from page 1

“It is also a very important teaching and research hospital,” he said. “It serves a number of very important regional and provincial roles.” According to Foster, an aging population with chronic diseases means the hospital’s current capacity cannot handle a growing need. “Emergency is sort of the place where it is very visible,” he said. “The emergency ward is woefully undersized.” The needs of the hospital’s emergency ward are a major component of the redevelopment plan being developed by Fraser Health. In the next year, Fraser Health will tighten up its business case for the project, examine costs and ensure that the design meets the hospital’s clinical needs and the community’s needs. Foster said expansion or redevelopment of Royal Columbian

Hospital has been discussed for about 15 years. He said the province is aware of the hospital’s needs. “I think they understand Royal Columbian is in need of redevelopment and improvements,” he said. “The question is, when can you do it? The province is challenged with all sorts of capital requests, from bridges to schools.” One of the concepts being considered includes construction of a separate mental health building, as those services and other health care services are now provided in the aging Sherbrooke Tower. Another option includes a renovation to that building. “We are too far out to give a sense of dollars,” he said. “It would be a very large construction project.” If additional hospital capacity is created by building on top of the existing hospital, steps will be taken to ensure there is no inter-

◗ YOUTH CENTRE

Campaign will hit its target Fundraising efforts will hit $200,000 goal by the time new centre opens in September

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The Youth Centre @ Moody Park – Connecting Generations’ fundraising campaign will reach its goal of raising $200,000 for the new youth centre. Launched at the September 2009 groundbreaking ceremony for the new youth centre in Moody Park, the campaign’s goal was to raise $200,000 to furnish and equip the building. The campaign is co-chaired by Century House Association past president Jan Greenhow and youth advisory committee member Isabel Gomez-Garcia. Greenhow said the campaign is continuing, but she expects it will

reach its goal by the time the centre opens on Sept. 15. “We have done really, really well,” she said. “People have really come forward.” Raising $200,000 in tough economic times was no easy feat, but the fundraising campaign team persevered. Many community groups and individuals have contributed to the campaign, which raised funds to furnish and equip the facility’s lounge, fitness centre, computer/learning area, and kitchen/laundry and shower facilities. “Some youth are alienated. Some people like to take showers after they have been doing a lot of athletic stuff,” said Greenhow about the need for showers. “There is some anxiety about whether the young people will be supervised. They will be at all times.” The centre is considered unique in that it will provide opportuni-

ties for intergenerational programming between youth and seniors. The youth centre is attached to Century House, a seniors’ community centre. Greenhow said she is “quite delighted” the centre has become a reality, noting it’s something discussed for years. “It didn’t just happen overnight,” she said. “It is really, really gratifying to see this is coming about. I am quite thrilled. I thing it is long overdue.” Seniors will have access the centre when it’s not being used by youth. Century House has had to take tablecloths from its dinner parties out for laundering but will now be able to use the in-house washer and dryer. The city will start moving furnishings and equipment into the centre starting this week. Youth will soon gain access to the centre, which will hold its formal opening celebration on Sept. 15 at 3:30 p.m. www.twitter.com/TheresaMcManus

per year on its Responsible Gambling Strategy and the Problem Gambling Program, having slashed funding from $7 million in 2009. The support programs that are offered – such as a 24-hour help line, counselling and the www.bcresponsible gambling.ca website – are maddeningly ineffective. The province’s self-exclusion program is intended to prevent gaming addicts from entering casinos, but many find they can do so without so much as a peep from security.

If Victoria plans to balance the budget on the backs of problem gamblers, the least they can do is get serious about tackling the problem they are helping to support. That starts with restoring funding and creating programs that are truly effective. This is one game in which the house holds all the cards. Let’s hope those cards get played for the benefit of all British Columbians – not just government coffers.

Recall faces an uphill battle IN THE HOUSE

KEITH BALDREY

f you want to get a measure of the daunting odds of a successful recall campaign against a sitting B.C. Liberal MLA, check out the riding-byriding breakdown of the antiHST petition. For recall to be successful, at least 40 per cent of the registered voters in that particular riding have to sign the recall petition. Although the anti-HST petition easily accumulated more than 10 per cent of the voters in every riding, only one riding currently held by a B.C. Liberal MLA even came close to meeting the higher recall number. That would be CaribooChilcotin, where some 6,524 voters signed the petition. That is 1,748 names short of what would be required to successfully recall the sitting MLA, Donna Barnett. Two other ridings also scored high, relative to what’s required for a recall, but both of those ridings – Kootenay-West and Fraser-Nicola – are held by NDP MLAs. The riding that collected the most signatures was Saanich North-The Islands, where more than 11,500 voters signed the

petition. But as impressive as that lofty total is, it is still almost 6,000 signatures short of the number required for a successful recall. Adding to the challenge of mounting a recall campaign can be seen in the huge number of invalid signatures the anti-HST petition collected. Petition organizers claimed that more than 700,000 people signed the petition, but Elections B.C. said in the end the number of valid signatures was just over 557,000. So almost one in four signatures were invalid, and it’s likely the same inaccuracy rate would occur in a recall sign-up. That means any recall campaign needs to aim at collecting more than 50 per cent of the registered voters – not 40 per cent. Presumably, a major factor in such a high error rate is the outof-date voters’ list. Every day, people move in and out of every riding, and the list gets more inaccurate as time goes by. By the time any recall campaign even begins (the earliest kickoff is Nov. 15), most ridings’ population would have seen a turnover, since the list was last updated, of as much as 20 per cent. That’s going to make a tough sign-up job even tougher. It’s true that in many ridings, anti-HST petition organizers stopped collecting signatures when they thought they had hit the 15 per cent mark. But there’s

How is the majority oppressed?

Dear Editor:

Re: Who’s intolerant here?, Letters to the editor, The Record, Aug. 18. Yes, Mr. Dong, people are allowed to voice their opinions, and that is exactly what L. Kammel did. Keep in mind the paraphrased quote “your rights end where mine begin.” I don’t see Kammel suggesting that Christians should be banned from practising their religion. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Christians groups trying to take away the rights of homosexuals. Oddly, they don’t seem to be protesting outside supermarkets against the consumption of shellfish and the other 600-plus rules laid out for society to follow in the Old Testament. It is intellectually dishonest cherrypicking. Let’s make some points clear here: No act of genocide has been committed “in the name of athe◗Recall Page 7 ism.” Some of them just happened to be atheists; the atrocities you allude to sprung from political and

social beliefs such as dogmatic Marxism. With your logic, anyone with a Charlie Chaplin moustache is suspect. In fact, the most non-violent countries in the world are the most atheist. Atheism is the rejection of a claim; therefore Kammel doesn’t have to prove that God doesn’t exist, since the burden of proof is on the one making the claim. This is the same as saying I don’t have to disprove the Loch Ness Monster to validate my disbelief. Scrutinizing the object of one’s faith, I think, is fair enough. Especially when the object of that faith prescribes taking away the rights of others. Why does religion get special treatment? All other ideas are open to inquiry and demand justification. Perhaps a reliance on faith is what makes it so painful a topic? It is comically unbalanced when the scene is set: about 80 per cent of Canadians are Christian, and they cry “Help, we’re being oppressed!”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Praise for anti-HST fighters Dear Editor:

Re: A marriage of convenience, William Perry, Letter to the Editor, Aug. 21. Disappointing that Mr. Perry didn’t follow the old and trusted maxim: “If you can’t say something nice, better to say nothing at all.” Like too many, he falls into the trap of petty personal attacks against what he perceives to be the ulterior motives of Bill Vander Zalm and Carole James with respect to the recently overwhelmingly successful anti-HST campaign. Time will tell, if, indeed, Mr. Vander Zalm and Ms. James had ulterior “political” motives for embracing – and, in the case of Mr. Vander Zalm, initiating – the petition. Meanwhile, surely the real story is the measure of its success in more than

705,000 people signing. I wonder, does Mr. Perry see ulterior motives in all of those people too? Thanks should be offered to Mr. Vander Zalm for his initiative and for actually “doing something” and doing it so well. The logistics of the campaign – the time and money – are mind boggling. Likewise, Ms. James is deserving of appreciation for having the wisdom to acknowledge there can be only one leader in such an endeavour – as leader of the Opposition, her initiating such a campaign would be suspect anyway. It had to be someone like Mr. Vander Zalm. So, well done to them both for working so well as a team, along with a host of other good folks. The endorsement of the petition by the B.C. Supreme Court chief justice was further validation of the effort.

THE BEST FROM OUR BLOGS The following is an excerpt from a post this week in one of our blogs, Cheap Shots. The nights are getting longer as the sun sets earlier and earlier each night. That’s not an earthshaking revelation but after a couple of barbecues this weekend, it’s pretty evident to me that summer’s coming to an end fast. I was in New West on Saturday

night for the annual Elmer Street barbecue. The small Sapperton street has an annual celebration, an oldfashioned get to know your neighbour do that is highlighted by a speech from the Mayor of Elmer Street. Yes, the street has its own mayor, one Douglas Luckow, who dons his ceremonial sash and pirate’s hat to regale the

minions with words of wisdom. I don’t know what he said because I was attacking the food table – kudos to Douglas’ partner Steven, who did a crack-up job on the barbecue.

Recall: There’s an uphill battle ahead ◗ continued from page 6

no evidence if they kept the petition sheets out there they would have hit the much higher recall level. As well, the period to gather signatures on a recall petition is just 60 days, which is one-third shorter than the time frame allowed the antiHST petition. Add it all up, and it makes for a very high mountain for recall proponents to scale. Nevertheless, having underestimated the popularity of the anti-HST petition, I’m reluctant to state unequivocally that any attempt at recall is doomed to failure. There clearly is widespread anger and frustration among a lot of voters right now, and much of it is, not surprisingly, directed at the B.C. Liberal government.

The two anti-HST campaigners, Bill Vander Zalm and Chris Delaney, have sent out mixed messages about when they would begin recall campaigns and how many MLAs will be targeted. Sometimes, they have said they’ll start in November, and at other times they’ve said they’d wait until spring. They’re still hoping the B.C. Liberal government will scrap the HST, but I wouldn’t bet on it. The all-party legislative committee now dealing with the anti-HST petition may very well submit the law to repeal the tax to the legislature, but hardly anyone expects it to be passed into law. So expect some recall campaigns to begin in earnest at some point. And some of them may defy the odds and actually succeed.

Aside from Donna Barnett, the Liberal MLAs seemingly most vulnerable to a recall campaign appear to be John Slater in Boundary-Similkameen (where another 2,784 people would have to sign a recall petition) and Bill Bennett in Kootenay East (3,961 names short). Keep in mind that for all the publicity and attention paid to the antiHST petition, and for all the apparent depth of the government’s unpopularity, more than three-quarters of the electorate never even bothered to sign it. Getting a huge chunk of them to sign a different kind of petition may prove to be a hard sell. But you never know these days – particularly when the born-again, indefatigable Vander Zalm is running the show! Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Kindergarten: Parents responding positively to full-day option ◗ continued from page 1

who might otherwise have gone to a neighbouring school in Richmond but who are residents of New West, Pace noted. While the response has been generally enthusiastic, some parents have expressed concern about sending their five-year-old to school for a full day. “We have had a couple of calls from parents who would rather have half-time K and were glad it was still offered at their schools,” Pace said. As for whether the province will continue to offer half-day kindergarten next year, Pace wrote, “It is unclear that the

There may continue to be a small demand for half-time K.” The district hasn’t had to hire additional kindergarten teachers for this fall, Pace noted. New Westminster School District will have a total of 139 full-day kindergarten spaces available at four schools next month. It cherry-picked these schools for the first round of the govern-

HST hits fees for parks, recreation BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The harmonized sales tax is having an impact on parks, culture and recreation fees in New Westminster. Council has received a report about amendments to the parks, culture and recreation fees and charges bylaw. Each year, the city considers fee adjustments. “By adjusting fees marginally each year, the public is not subjected to large increases any given time,” said a staff report. “In establishing fees, the department considers market value, inflation, collective agreement increases, partial cost recovery, minor sports discount formulas, operational cost and budget targets.” Staff is proposing that fees and charges be increased by zero to four per cent, depending on the fee. Rates have changed effective July 1.

A variety of parks services are seeing fee increases including room rentals, dropin programs for children and adults, ice rentals at arenas, swimming lessons, gym and picnic shelter rentals. A few services won’t be seeing fee increases, including public skating for children 12 and under. “Historically, our department was required to charge the federal GST on adult programs, memberships, admission and all rentals, but our services were exempt from the seven per cent provincial sales tax,” said the report. “The HST will now require parks, culture and recreation to charge an additional seven per cent tax to customers 15 years or older, who purchase programs, memberships, admissions and all rentals.” In order to accommodate the HST, the city had to make some modifications to software and database systems. www.twitter.com/TheresaMcManus

Clockmaker has time on his hands Next time you pass the chiming steam clock in Gastown, you can thank Raymond Saunders. The Burnaby resident has built steam clocks that have become popular landmarks and tourist attractions all over the globe. His Gastown steam clock is said to be the most photographed attraction in Vancouver. Saunders spoke with Record reporter Jennifer Moreau about the dying art of creating public clocks. Can you tell us a bit about yourself? I was born in Vancouver and moved to Burnaby 10 years ago. That’s where I settled into fixing antique clocks in the garage and also designing and building public clocks. I had a shop in Gastown for 25 years, right next to my steam clock. I designed and built the steam clock in Gastown, my very first public clock, built in 1977. I’ve done six more since then. … I’m the world’s only steam clock builder that specializes in steam clocks. The one in Gastown was the first one in the world. How did you get interested in steam clocks? The (Vancouver) city planning department called me to ask if I could build one, to cover a central heat steam vent on the sidewalk. They asked me to make something to cover the vent. … I was too stupid to know it couldn’t be done. We guessed it would cost $25,000, and it ended up costing $58,000. What drew you in? It was an opportunity to build something for the citizens in Vancouver. It was a labour of love, that’s for sure. I ended up $23,000 in the red when I finished the clock. An anonymous donor came in and paid the rest. I never knew who he was. You also fix antique clocks, too. That’s sort of my retirement passion to do antique clock restoration. I’ve been doing that for the last 40 years. I specialize in higher-end antiques for collectors. I do clocks for anybody who contacts me, … collectors that are serious collectors.

Father time: Above, Ray Saunders holds a reproduction pub clock, next to an 1850s French table clock. At left, Saunders with an original Roman dial casting for the Gastown steam clock.

What’s the fascination with clocks about? It was a hobby in high school. I worked for Woodward’s as a watchmaker for 10 years when I left high school. What are you working on now? I’m working on the world’s most complicated steam clock for a place in Australia called Scenic World in Katoomba. (There’s) a big fancy tourist attraction there, with gondolas going up the mountain. I’m making a steam clock. … It has 13 whistles and plays Waltzing Matilda. Is this a dying art? There’s no one else. Clocks and steam don’t mix. No one has really thought of doing it before. There are actually 12 steam clocks in the world right now. … I’ve built seven of the 12. No one

THERESA MCMANUS

oyal City Farmers Market is inviting people to take in a nutritional walk and talk at its next market. Visit the market on Thursday, Aug. 26 for a nutritional walk and talk with volunteer Kelly Kiss, a registered holistic nutritionist. Kiss will lead a market tour and point out some of the nutritional powerhouses that might be getting overlooked. People wanting to take in this free event can drop

by the Royal City Farmers Market information tent at 6 p.m. this Thursday. The market, which takes place from 3 to 7 p.m. in Tipperary Park, also features face painting by Allyson Grant and a kids’ free play zone with plenty of different toys. Royal City Farmers Market will also feature a giant Bouncy Barn. People can show a proof of purchase to have a turn. The market’s other features include displays of art in the park, music by Chris Messytone and his accordion from 3 to 5 p.m. and local folk singer Gillian Hobbs from 5 to 7 p.m., hot on-site foods, and, of course, many vendors selling produce, meats, cheese, breads, arts and jewelry.

Outdoor movie Derrick Thornhill, a realtor with Park Georgia Realty New Westminster, is sponsoring a free outdoor movie on Friday, Aug. 27 at 9 p.m. at F.W. Howay Elementary School at 91 Courtney Cres. Community members are invited to bring a blanket to the school field, where The Lion King will be shown on a large screen. “We had one at Grimston Park that went really well,” said Renee Poelzer, Derrick’s administrative assistant. “He is calling it a summer movie series.” The movie is weather permitting. If it rains, it will be canceled or rescheduled.

I do all my drawing on the computers and send them to my shop, and they cut out the pieces. … (You have to be) very patient, clock makers are the most patient people in the world, you’ve got to have lots of patience and “stickability” – sticking to the job, not giving up.

Is there anything else you would like our readers to know? There’s no one following in my footsteps, … no one seems to want to do public clocks. Even my son is a watchmaker, but he doesn’t want to do public clocks. It’s a shame there’s no one to pass the torch to. It’s one of those trades. It is a dying trade because everything is electronic.

A new exhibit is brewing at Fraser River Discovery Centre. Wesgroup Properties, which is developing the Brewery District on the former Labatt’s site in Sapperton, is the sponsor of the exhibit about an industry that’s had an influence on agricultural growth in the Lower Fraser Basin. Brewer’s Gold: The History of Hops Industry in B.C. is an exhibit that was originally produced by the Chilliwack Museum and Archives and received a 2005 Award of Merit

from the British Columbia Museums Association. “We believe in making a positive social and environmental contribution to the communities where we live and build,” said Gino Nonni, president of Wesgroup Properties. “As part of our ongoing corporate social responsibility program, we are proud to support the Fraser River Discovery Centre, and the quality educational experiences exhibits such as Brewer’s Gold brings to the community.” Brewer’s Gold will open in September 2010 and is scheduled to end in the summer of 2011. “The Fraser River Discovery Centre is very appreciative of Wesgroup Properties’ past support and of this sponsorship

of our upcoming exhibit”, said Catherine OuelletMartin, the centre’s executive director. “Since reopening last year, the centre has been presenting a variety of exhibits relevant to the many facets of the Fraser River and that are attracting a new and diverse audience. Corporate partners such as Wesgroup Properties are invaluable in making these exhibits and accompanying programs a success. “ The Fraser River Discovery Centre is located at 788 Quayside Dr. The Discovery Centre is daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the summer and admission is by donation.

Your BC Lions — In Their Own Words Justin Sorensen - 68 I’m a small town B.C. guy – born and raised in Parksville on Vancouver Island. I began playing football while attending high school at Ballenas Secondary and because of my size I was a natural fit on the offensive line. In fact, I did so well that I was named my team’s Most Valuable Player in my senior season. Following my high school graduation, I had an opportunity to head south to continue my education and play football for the University of South Carolina in the NCAA’s Southeastern Conference, which features some of the most competitive college football in the United States. After playing four years on the Gamecocks’ offensive line, I had a newfound appreciation for my adopted home but was nonetheless excited to return to British Columbia to don the black and orange as the Lions’ first-round selection in the 2008 CFL draft. I’d seen firsthand what playing in front of some of the most passionate football fans is all about and I knew I’d see similar support from Lions fans back home in B.C. Now in my second season on the Leos’ offensive line, I feel privileged to come to work every day and play the game I love. Nothing would make me happier than to bring the Grey Cup home to British Columbia and share that experience with my family and friends. Through thick and thin, the guys on the offensive line have become family to me and I’m proud of the contributions we make on and off the field. As a kid who dreamed of playing professional football from a young age, I remember looking up to athletes for inspiration. For that reason, I enjoy taking part in the Lions’ community programs throughout the year, particularly the Terasen Gas Energy Champions initiative. It gives me a feeling of pride to give back to the local community and know that in some small way I could be having a positive influence on the younger generation. Justin Sorensen in action.

B.C. Girls Choir offers nonauditioned program this fall BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The British Columbia Girls Choir is offering a singing program that draws from the popular TV series Glee. The choir, which practises in New Westminster, seems to have hit the right note with the new program that caters to girls who want to sing and move to music, perform with their friends and be a part of their own personal glee club. Since choir administrators first put the word out about SongClub, there has been a strong response, choir administrator Lynn Van Zanten said. The TV series Glee – which focuses on a high school show choir (a modern glee club) called New Directions – has made singing cool, Van Zanten said. “In a lot of high schools, school sports were so important, and it’s not cool to sing,” said Van Zanten. “I think what this (TV show) is doing … is showing people how fun it can be to sing.” The inspiration for SongClub came when Fiona Blackburn, artistic director of the British Columbia Girls Choir, realized that there were many girls who would enjoy being in a high-level performing group but who were too shy to audition, not sure of being “good enough” or too busy with other activities and not able to make a huge commitment of time and money for a whole year.

“I wanted to provide a place where girls could participate for a couple of months and learn some interesting, inspiring and fun songs,” Blackburn said in a press release. “Where they would get good vocal training, meet new friends and then showcase what they have learned in a final performance. Much like being in a glee club, all the girls need is an interest to sing and move.” There are no auditions for SongClub, and the sessions run for nine-week periods, with a performance for family and friends at the end. The year is divided into three sessions and each family can choose to enrol in only one session, do two or all three. There will be different material for each session, so if a singer wishes to take the whole year, she would learn as many as 12 to 15 songs and participate in three performances. The girls can be aged nine to 13. For girls who would like to participate in a more extensive music program, the Girls Choir also offers training and touring choirs for all ages and abilities. An audition is required for placement in any of the regular programs. The choir is open to ages five to young adult. For more information about B.C. Girls Choir or to register for SongClub, call Van Zanten at 604-542-1698 or e-mail bcgc@ telus.net. Visit the choir’s website at www. bcgirlschoir.org. Auditions for all other choir levels are being held on Sept. 13. In New Westminster, SongClub runs on Saturdays, from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. The first rehearsal is Sept. 11.

Back Pain and Sciatica can be excruciating Lower back pain that travels down one buttock and leg is called sciatica. It often begins suddenly, soon after an awkward, twisting movement or heavy lifting. The pain can become excruciating and moving around or sitting down becomes very difficult. Bending over, coughing or sneezing aggravates the pain. If numbness occurs or muscle coordination is affected, the problem is serious and needs immediate attention. In older people, a slightly different type of sciatica is more common. The onset is slower and the pain more constant and nagging.

Tips and tricks: Think positively about aging not mean you have to stop being adventurous with your activity choices. Going to sporting events, travelling to new places and attending concerts are just some of the things that people can enjoy at any age. While it might be a challenge to fit another activity into your busy life,

Aging is a natural part of life that begins the minute we are born. Early in life, aging is considered positive and we call it “growing,” but later on, we tend to look at it more negatively. Internationally recognized author and boomer expert PJ Wade believes that one way to improve our overall well-being is to change the way we think about aging.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR SENIORS

“The truth is that we are living longer than ever before and there is no reason to adopt a pessimistic attitude towards aging,” says PJ Wade. “While the reality is that we do experience changes over time, it’s important to keep doing things that fill our lives with wellness, strength and energy.”

Exercises for Seniors With Limited Mobility can be effective, even for those with trouble walking or standing for extended periods of time.

Exercising in a chair is an effective way for seniors to stay in shape. Exercise is important for all people, including the elderly. Yet, seniors who have limited mobility or are confined to a wheelchair may think they couldn’t possibly exercise. However there are many things such individuals can do to

stay in shape -- all while sitting down. Doctors recommend at least 30 minutes of daily exercise for most people. Exercise is beneficial for seniors because it keeps muscles from atrophying,

improves mental alertness, strengthens bones, and leads to a healthier metabolism, among other things. For seniors who think they won’t be able to handle traditional exercise, chair exercises or modified pilates

Daddy, when can we go!

To get started, all one needs is some loose-fitting clothing and a chair. Begin by doing some stretching movements of the neck, arms and legs. Rotate the head left and right and in circles to stretch the neck and back muscles. Lift arms over the head and slowly drop down to the sides of the body to stretch arms and back muscles. Lift and lower the legs a few times to warm them up. To begin exercises, start slowly and gradually build up repetitions. Exercises to try include boxing or punching into the air, arm circles, and arm curls. For the legs, work the back and front of the legs. Kick the legs out in front of the body several times. Hold legs parallel to the floor (as much as possible) and do leg crosses. Put feet flat on the floor and lift up the heels. Keep feet on the floor and push down to work the buttocks and the top of the thighs.

Individuals who have mastered these exercises and have been told by a doctor that it is OK to do something a bit more strenuous may want to add very light weights to the equation for more resistance. Two or five pound weights are all that’s needed to give muscles even more of a workout. Those looking to change things up from day to day can think about doing yoga in a chair or even tai chi exercises. Deep breathing and meditation after workouts can be part

of a cool down and stressrelief program.If swimming is possible, or even simply entering a pool, water provides gentle resistance and could be a good way to work the body in a gradual manner. Buoyancy from the water will be easy on joints. Remember to always consult a doctor before beginning any type of exercise regimen, be it with a personal trainer or on your own. The doctor can discuss which type of exercises may be safe.

Tennessee Williams classic onstage in city BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com

A recent Douglas College theatre studies graduate will be making his debut as a director this week with Tennessee Williams’ own original debut as a playwright: The Glass Menagerie. Since its premiere in Chicago in 1944, the play has become known as one of the great works of 20th century dramatic literature and the role of Amanda Wingfield considered a plum role for great actresses of a certain age ranging from Jessica Tandy to Joanne Woodward, Katharine Hepburn and, more recently here in Canada, Shirley Douglas. “I’ve had this itch for directing for some time, so I figured I’d find a really good play and see if I have the chops for it,” said Chris Lam. “For a first project as a director, it’s seemed a good choice for me to get my feet wet.” The Glass Menagerie tells the sad tale of the Wingfield family, who are barely managing to scrape by in St. Louis just before the Second World War. Amanda, a single mother who the term “faded southern belle” may as well have been coined for, lives with

her two adult children in a tiny apartment and is so anxious about her family’s survival that she frequently bullies her overly shy daughter, Laura, and berates her son Tom, the sole breadwinner, so harshly for his selfishness that he ultimately abandons them. Many people know Williams’ semi-autobiographical play well enough to have pre-conceived ideas about the characters, but Lam, 23, said he is hoping to bring a fresh take on it. “I’m going more to the surrealist angle,” he said. “It takes place as a rehearsal where it is years later, and Tom has written down the play and then he goes and rehearses it with actors. Basically it is a play within a play.” Perhaps the most daunting challenge facing a director with this particular play is finding a suitable Amanda, and Lam said he was fortunate to have found Nancy Ebert, who had already played the role five years ago in a production by the North Vancouver Community Players. For her part, Ebert said she was equally thrilled to have the chance to step into the role a second time, especially since she had already

learned Amanda’s many lines. “Amanda never stops talking,” said the Royal City resident with a laugh. “When you’re learning the lines, you’ve got this whole block of highlighted script, and then you turn the page and there’s another huge highlighted block. But the lines are very easy to learn because the language is so beautiful.” She agreed that it was important to have a woman who has been around the block a few times play the part rather than, say, a twentysomething theatre student. “They have to have somebody old to play Amanda, they can’t have somebody who is 25,” said the 61-year-old community theatre veteran, who was most recently seen on stage playing Nurse Ratched in the Vagabond Players production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest at the Bernie Legge Theatre. Despite her experience, Ebert said she was thrilled to work with a novice director for a change. “One of the things that appealed to me was working with someone who had never really directed before and had a lot of stuff to

Share your passion for the Fraser River Discovery Centre seeks volunteers to help lead programs for schools BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The folks at Fraser River Discovery Centre are looking for people who share their enthusiasm about the Fraser River. Shannon King, the center’s education coordinator, is looking forward to expanding the teams of volunteer guides, or docents, as they allow Discovery Centre to offer more school programs, while keeping group sizes small. “Many of our volunteers say that being a docent is a lot of fun because the school children are so excited to be exploring the centre,” she said. “Their enthusiasm is infectious.” Docents work in teams to present handson activities to visiting classes. Anyone can be a docent, as no special background or experience is required. Full training is provided to anyone wanting to be a docent at Fraser River Discovery Centre. The only qualifications required are that docents be interested in working with children, have a desire to learn about the Fraser River, and have a weekday morning or afternoon to give to the centre. Fraser River Discovery Centre will be offering four school programs in the fall on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Each program includes a number of

hands-on stations to teach kids about the different aspects of the Fraser River. “Through mock archeological excavations, science experiments and games, we are encouraging children to care about the Fraser River,” King said. Training sessions will be held throughout September, with orientation sessions for new volunteers taking place on Wednesday, Sept. 8 and Friday, Sept. 10 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Anyone interested in learning more about volunteering at Fraser River Discovery Centre can register for one of these sessions by Sept. 6. Call 604-5218401 or send an e-mail to info@fraserriver discovery.org. A complete volunteer role description and a volunteer application form can be found on the centre’s website. Follow the “George Needs help to tell his story” link at www.fraserriverdiscovery. org. While the gallery displays change from time to time, George, a model of a Fraser River white sturgeon, is a permanent resident of the centre. His story is one of many told to schoolchildren by team of volunteers docents at the centre. Fraser River Discovery Centre, an interpretative centre connecting community in discovery and celebration of the Fraser River, is located at 788 Quayside Dr. It’s open daily until Aug. 31 and Wednesday to Saturday after Sept. 1.

Pruning is necessary for raspberries BRANCHING OUT ANNE MARRISON

Question: We had a fabulous crop of raspberries this year, and new canes have now appeared. These are over six feet tall and still growing. Should I cut them back? New canes are appearing under a sidewalk and in another garden bed. – Stella Stanger, Vancouver Answer: It’s always best to shorten the new canes to a height that makes them easier to pick. This is usually about 1.2 metres. Pruning is best done in fall or winter when you can see exactly what you’re doing. Next year’s raspberries will be born on side-stems of the shortened canes. Any weak, spindly canes can be pruned right out. They do produce ber-

‘

ries, usually smaller ones, but they also create extra cover and shade that can cause mildew problems if you postpone picking for a day or so due to rain. About the new canes popping up all around: Raspberries will turn into a thicket all over any garden if they’re not stopped. People with large lots sometimes deliberately surround their raspberry bed with lawn so that suckers get mown off. Otherwise, keeping them under control takes a lot of digging.

dormant oil. However, this spray does kill some beneficial insects. Be sure to pick up all the leaves every fall and dispose of them (garbage or municipal compost – not your own compost). Municipal compost reaches very high temperatures

that kill pathogens. Then mulch under the tree so that fungal spores can’t splash up into the tree during rain. It would also help if you fertilized the tree every spring with compost or balanced organic fertilizer spread around the

drip line (edge) of the tree. Apples increase in size if, in dry spells, you can water in around the drip line when fruit is forming. Some trees are very susceptible to scab – especially kinds that do well in the Okanagan but find our climate too wet.

Most garden centres sell scab-resistant apple trees and many of these have delicious apples. Liberty is one of the best. Others include Freedom, Jonafree, Prima and Goldrush. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions sent to amarrison@shaw.ca.

Question: My apple tree gets apples, but every year the apples get black marks on them, they don’t grow very big and some of them split. Even the leaves end up with black marks and dry up and die. What can I do for next year’s crop? – Deb Losier, by e-mail Answer: Your apple tree has scab. This is a fungal disease, which is more widespread after wet springs. It would be less severe if you spray in late winter with lime sulphur and

he self-help and magazine industries thrive on the confused communications between the sexes. Both men and women huddle with their same-sex friends, bemoaning and advising one another on how the other sex really thinks, feels and wants. Cosmo advises women on their relationships; Maxim advises men on theirs. I wonder if men would understand women better by reading their magazines. Yet I shudder to think of the impression women get when they look at a typical men’s magazine. They don’t have to turn a page to peak into the dark recesses of the male mind; the cover says it all. Though your relationships with the opposite sex affect your happiness and sanity, there’s another relationship you might need to work on – one that can have an even greater impact on your present and future health. It’s your relationship with your doctor, and talking with your friends and reading magazines may not help you understand doctors any better.

But to really get into the mindspace of a physician, you have to be one, live with one or – easier yet – read my next series of articles. Communication, of course, is the central issue in the patient-doctor relationship. It goes both ways. Physicians have to listen and understand your concerns; you need to understand what they are talking about. Effective communication can be short-circuited by inadequate listening, the tendency of physicians to interrupt you before you’ve finished telling your story, and our confusing use of medical jargon. Clarity of communication is one thing, but just as important is the dialogue. Without a collaborative approach, even if you’re lucky enough to fully understand what your doctor told you, you may leave the office with orders you don’t intend to follow. In this series of articles, we’ll cover the obstacles to effective communication with your doctor. First, we’ll take you into the mind of the doctor. You’ll understand how medical school transforms normal people into jargon-

’Bellies need win over Alberta to advance Northmen and A’s secure berth to Minto championship round BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

It was do-or-die for the New Westminster Salmonbellies at the 2010 Minto Cup championships. The junior A Salmonbellies needed a win over the Alberta champion Okotoks Raiders Tuesday (after Record deadlines), to continue on their path to a berth into the Minto Cup final. A loss to the Raiders would give Alberta its first win at the Minto since the new alignment in 2003 brought back a four-team format to the Canadian junior A lacrosse championship. Ontario and B.C. champions Orangeville Northmen and Coquitlam Adanacs, respectively, claimed a spot in the championship round with their second straight wins on Sunday. Orangeville managed to get by a resilient Okotoks club 7-3 in the early game, while Coquitlam beat New Westminster for the fifth time in the post season, 11-7 in the late game. The Northmen emerged as the team to beat after an opening day win at the junior A lacrosse championships in Coquitlam. The Onatrio league champs looked far from rusty, taking a 93 victory over the B.C. runner-up junior Salmonbellies in the Minto Cup opener on Saturday. The two teams played it even in the first 20 minutes but the Northmen came out for the second two periods with renewed pep, outscoring the Salmonbellies 7-1 while enjoying an edge in shots 34-17. Orangeville’s leading playoff scorers Adam Jones and Jeremy

Jason Lang/THE RECORD

On the attack: New Westminster righthander Keegan Bal drives to the net against the Orangeville Northmen in Game 1 of the Minto Cup junior A lacrosse championships in Coquitlam. Noble led the team against New Westminster, with two goals and five points, and four points, respectively. New Westminster player of the game Jay Card had two goals and three points for the ‘Bellies. Salmonbellies starting goalie Frank Scigliano faced 36 shots before being replaced by Brandon Mulligan early in the third period. Orangeville’s Dillon Ward faced 14 shots in the opening

frame but just 10 the rest of the way. “We haven’t played in two weeks, so we came out a little flat, but we got better in the second and third periods,” said Orangeville captain Glen Bryan. “They call it old-school lacrosse. We play both ends of the floor. We like pushing and pushing it hard, and run, run, run, run. We will build on that and go from there.” That cannot be good news for

the other clubs involved in the Minto. “We knew they were going to be good and work hard. We need to come out with intensity and match theirs,” said New Westminster defencer Travis Irving, who enjoyed an early scrap with Orangeville’s Andrew Suitor in the first period. “They kept on coming and our team played great in the first. It’s just that we could have played better in the second and third.

I think it was just a couple of mental lapses. But we were in the game.” And Irving was right, except that Orangeville’s relentless attacking style at all spots on the floor created so many opportunities for the defending two-time Minto champs. Acase in point was Orangeville player of the game Brock Sorenson. The mobile 6-6 defender scored a hat trick in the win for the East, including two on breakaways. His first came on a tricky bouncer from in close. The third was off an interception late in the contest with the New Westminster net vacated for an extra attacker. Sorenson also tallied on one of two Orangeville’s power play goals, cutting through a lot of traffic down the middle in the opening minute of the third period to spark a four-goal final frame. “I think we have what it takes. We just have to put it on the floor,” said Irving. The Salmonbellies will need all of that to get past the Alberta club, which has proved to be one of the most competitive to come out of the Rocky Mountain league since the Minto Cup restructured its format back in 2003. New Westminster and Okotoks played off for the final semifinal berth on Tuesday (after Record deadlines). The second- and thirdplace teams play off tonight (Wednesday) at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. The winner of Wednesday’s game meets the first-place team in a best-of-three game final series, beginning Friday and continuing on Saturday. If necessary, a Game 3 will be held on Sunday. All games are at 8 p.m.

Salmonbellies have ’Rocks between a hard place BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

There appears to be no stopping the New Westminster Salmonbellies. The Western Lacrosse Association regular season champion rolled over the Victoria Shamrocks for a second straight game, winning 11-4 to take a stranglehold on the best-of-seven playoff final three games to none Sunday. The senior A Salmonbellies played perhaps their best period of lacrosse this season, opening with a 3-0 advantage and a whole lot of momentum. Game star Tyler Richards was at his absolute best in goal, stopping all 19 shots fired his way as Victoria matched New Westminster’s intensity and firepower in the opening frame. The entertaining first 20 minutes was played at pace and it was the home team’s superior speed at both ends of the floor that eventually swung the day in New Westminster’s favour.

Jordan Hall got New West on the board first, firing a short pass from Jamie Floris in tight company past Victoria starter Matt Flindell in the early going. But both keepers were on their game until Jordan McBride, who shared the ’Bellies lead with Hall with five points apiece, broke the stalemate with an underhand shot from the point late in the period. Alex Gajic then counted New West’s third goal with a spin move down low with just four seconds to go. New Westminster stretched its lead to 5-0 in the middle frame, punctuated by an emphatic TKO by Salmonbellie tough guy Rory Smith in a brief dustup with Victoria’s 6-5 defender Paul Dawson. Victoria came back to play the period even but still trailed by three goals heading into the final frame. Cliff Smith, who was the hero of Game 2 with six goals and seven points, opened the third period with his team-leading 18th goal of the playoffs.

Smith’s tally sparked a five-goal run, which included a pair of power-play goals for a hat trick by McBride. “I think you could see the desire of our guys wanting to get back to the Mann Cup. We are buying into the coaches’ game plan which is good to see,” said Richards. On Friday, New Westminster marched into Bear Mountain Arena and quickly established a four-goal lead on Victoria, aided by Smith’s opening tally at 32 seconds. Smith counted two goals in each of the three periods as New Westminster dominated throughout, outshooting the home team 54-45. The two teams played Game 4 of the playoff final Tuesday (after Record deadlines). If necessary, a Game 5 would be played at Queen’s Park Arena on Thursday, but few are expecting that possibility. “We go into every game thinking we’re going to win, and the way the defence has been playing, and Roiker (Matt Roik) has

being playing awesome, I don’t think there is a team from the West that can stop us,” Richards added. “Tonight we were on our game. It doesn’t surprise me. I think we’ve seen the best from Victoria. Our guys are very motivated to get back to the Mann Cup.” Salmonbellies head coach Bob Salt thinks so, too. “I really do think they’re playing better and better. (Victoria) was coming at us with the zone and we had to be really sharp,” said Salt. “We bumped it up. We had to. These guys are really playing for each other, especially in the D end. We’re just so pumped.” But when the playoffs began back in early August with a loss to Maple Ridge in the semifinals, Salt was not so sure of the readiness of his troops. “I thought maybe we wanted to take a year off. I asked the boys that question, but they responded,” Salt said. “If anyone can win back East, it’s us. The guys are so ready, so into it.”

In the semifinal, B.C. fell behind 3-0, but mounted an attempted comeback, scoring three times in the final frame. “We fought hard in that game, but we had a lot of penalties, Nasato added. With their gold-medals hopes dashed, “It was hard to go out and show a lot of emotion.

B.C. and Ontario finished the round-robin play with similar 4-2 records, but the home team took third place overall on a 7-4 win over the Eastern rep in the final game played on the Thursday. “It was do-or-die for us, but this (bronze) game was just coming off

a loss and we came into this with one thing – to win the gold. I think that had a lot to do with the (loss),” Nasato said. Nasato finished the competition with two goals and four assists for B.C. James Baker of Ridge Meadows led the team with seven goals. Hawrys and tournament all-star Challen Rogers of Coquitlam had six goals and six assists apiece. Cole Shafer of Coquitlam was named B.C.’s provincial MVP.

Mini Hyacks kick off preseason at Mercer The Royal City Hyacks community football club kicked off the preseason with a successful showing at the Hyack Invitational tournament at Mercer Stadium last Saturday. The junior bantams defeated the Richmond Raiders 35-14 in a 60-minute scrimmage. Jeff Lorenz-Lugtu, Kale Brock and Mackenzie Ratcliffe were the standouts for the Hyacks on both sides of the ball. First-year head coach Chenghao Cui expects to have a competitive group in the 12-and 13-year-old division in the Vancouver Mainland Football League this season. Royal City’s defence has returned three interceptions for touchdowns so far in the preseason. The eight- and nineyear-old Hyacks played

A spot in the Presidents Cup final was just a goal away for the host Burnaby Burrards. The West Coast Senior Lacrosse League regular season champs lost a 10-9 decision to the defending two-time national champion Owen Sound Woodsmen on the final day of the round-robin that would have put them into the Canadian final against the Onondaga Redhawks. Burnaby went on to drop a 13-6 encounter with the Kahnawake Mohawks in the bronze-medal match at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Aug. 21. “We came out and we were playing hard. It was just a few breakdowns and they capitalized on the mistakes,” “Everyone had said Burrards keeper Kevin Hill. “(Kahnawake) is a good us written off. club.” But we finally Burnaby fell behind by two buried it and got goals to Kahnawake on two separate occasions but mansome momenaged to draw even both times tum going, and before giving up three late second-period goals, including a began to play pair in the final minute of the some lacrosse.” stanza. Burnaby player of the game Justin Thomas tied it up 2-2, KEVIN HILL with his first of two goals in Burrards senior B goalie the period. Then later in the frame, Mitch Dibblee, a pickup from Ladner, knotted the score at fours with his team-best 10th tally of the tournament. But Kahnawake responded with three goals of its own in the final four minutes, which appeared to take some of the wind out of the Burrards sails. Burnaby mounted a brief flurry in the final period, with Cory Melville and Cory Siegner of Burnaby both scoring just seconds apart. But Kahnawake’s second team all-star James Rooney immediately answered back with his hat-trick goal. Player of the game for the Mohawks, Alex Henderson, also scored three times, all on breakaways. Burnaby also lost to the Mohawks 10-6 on the opening day of the championships. But Hill said the experience was invaluable for the young Burrards club. “After losing three games in the playoffs and the first two in the Presidents Cup, everyone had us written off. But we finally buried it and got some momentum going, and began to play some lacrosse,” said Hill, who played in five of the team’s seven games despite a painful back injury. “This whole tournament has been good for our club. We now know what it takes.” In the pivotal one-goal loss to Owen Sound, the Burrards trailed the Woodsmen 9-4 at one point in the contest, but came back to score five times in the last four minutes only to fall a single tally short. ◗Lacrosse Page 31

◗ RUGBY

Canada in showdown Saturday at World Cup Canada set the stage for a final pool showdown with France at the women’s rugby World Cup in London, England. The Canadian national women’s team, including five players from the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club, scored six tries in a 40-10 victory over Sweden on Tuesday. The win leaves the No. 4-ranked Canadians and third-seeded France to duke it out for top spot in Pool C on Saturday. The winner will win a spot in the semifinals. Burnaby Lake flyhalf Anna Schnell was good on five of six conversions in the win. Schnell also booted the Canadian women to an opening day 37-10 win over Scotland on Aug. 20. Schnell kicked for a total of 12 points on two penalty kicks and three converts, and is currently second in overall scoring at the competition. Burnaby Lake winger and team vice-captain Maria Gallo also scored a try for Canada in the win over the Scots. Olympian bobsledder Heather Moyse scored

three tries in the win over Sweden. Moyse led all try scorers at the 2006 World Cup with seven scores. She is more than halfway to that total with four so far after Canada’s two wins. Canada and France split a pair of international matches played earlier this season in Europe. In the World Cup format, the top teams from each of the pools advance to the semifinals, along with the next best team out of all three groups. “ThegameagainstFrance is going to be a humdinger. It’s fourth versus third and we lost at Stade to them,” said Canada head coach Johnathan Long in a Rugby Canada press release. “Both (teams) know that both of us are going to bring it. (France) will put their strongest side out against us, something they haven’t done yet, and it’s going to be one hell of a game.” Burnaby Lake front row forwards Corinne Jacobsen, Kim Donaldson and starting scrum half Julia Sugawara are also on the Canadian squad in England.
