◗CAMPAIGN TRAIL ◗LICENCE COULD BE REVOKED

The City of New Westminster is giv-ing a military surplus store more time before it determines whether or not to revoke its business licence.

City council was set to hold a show-cause hearing Monday, at which time it would consider cancelling the business licence for Westley Military Surplus at 623 Front St., a local business recently raided by police. The business sells used military supplies and equipment/sup-plies relating to camping and outdoor activities, but it has also been licensed under the Canada Firearms Program to sell non-prohibited ammunition.

According to a city staff report filed at the meeting, police have various concerns about the business, including the sale of live ammunition to people whether or not they have the required documentation to possess or purchase ammunition; the business “is actively trafficking starter pistols and starter type Uzi machine guns”; and the company president provided “direction on several occasions to two different undercover police officers on how to convert starter pistols into functional firearms.”

“During a search of the business on Feb. 25, 2011, a semi-automatic C-8 car-bon assault rifle was seized along with some soft body armor,” said the report. “Both the assault rifle and the body armor are unlawful to own or possess.”

City council could decide to suspend Westley Military Surplus Ltd.’s business licence for a specified amount of time, cancel the licence effective immediately

The B.C. police complaint commissioner has cancelled a public hearing and apolo-gized to two New Westminster Police Service constables facing a review related to a 2009 police-involved shooting.

Commissioner Stan Lowe informed Const. Josh Hooker, Const. Gerald Lau and New Westminster Chief Const. Dave Jones on April 1 that the public hearing had been cancelled in light of some new information provided recently by Jones.

“It was information the commissioner had not considered previously, and it was material to the case,” said Rollie Woods,

deputy police complaint commissioner. “We came back to Victoria, and the com-missioner immediately made the decision that he was going to cancel the public hearing.”

A confidentiality provision in the Police Act prevents the commission or its staff from giving details about an incident, and Jones was not available to comment.

Lowe also acknowledged policy chan-ges made by New West police that “sig-nificantly reduce the likelihood of a similar occurrence.”

Woods said it is somewhat unusual for the commissioner to apologize to police that have faced a review, but the unusual circumstances merited it.

“The commissioner knows that hav-ing a public hearing called and an offi-cer being named as a respondent in that situation is bound to have an impact on them,” Woods said. “These are stress-ful situations, and, in hindsight, knowing this additional information, he felt it was appropriate to contact the officers and offer them a personal apology for putting them through that.”

Lau and Hooker fired eight shots into a fleeing stolen vehicle after it rammed Hooker’s cruiser and began moving toward the officers in the McDonald’s drive-thru on McBride Boulevard in January 2009.

The Vancouver Police Department con-ducted the investigation into the police-

involved shooting portion of the incident and determined there was sufficient evi-dence to establish that Hooker and Lay had committed misconduct. Lowe then reviewed the Vancouver police findings and ordered a public hearing probing an allegation of abuse of authority.

New Westminster police spokesperson Sgt. Gary Weishaar said the news comes as a great relief to both constables, who were forced to make a tough decision in a highly dangerous situation.

“Our organization is grateful for the commissioner acknowledging the fine work our police officers had done under great duress and that they acted appropri-ately,” he said.

Complaint commissioner apologizes to cops

A Vancouver developer is hoping an anti-harmonized sales tax bet will pay off when it comes to selling new condo units in New Westminster.

Wanson Development announced Tuesday that the company would not be charging any HST on the 160 one- and two-bedroom condos at Eight West, a soon-to-be built four-storey, mixed-use development at the old Canadian Tire site at 21

Eighth Ave.Bill Morrison, president

of Pilothouse Real Estate and spokesman for the development, said Wanson is being forced to react to a curious trend in the housing market that has seen buyers flocking to old homes instead of new ones to skip pay-ing the HST.

“The HST has had a dramatic impact on the new home market. As a result, Wanson Development is taking a very public stand against the HST, and we’ve decided not to charge or collect

the HST here at Eight West,” he said. “The buyer’s perception is that it adds an enormous amount of cost. We’re finding in the marketplace right now that buy-ers are doing everything they can to avoid paying the HST, and that means paying even more for an older product than they would for a brand new product.”

He pointed to a neighbouring 11-year-old property that he said is listing and selling at higher prices than Eight West’s units retail for.

The decision to swallow the

HST was more about marketing the project than it was a political stand against the tax, Morrison said.

“We’re not necessarily anti-HST. We believe in democracy, and we believe in the June ref-erendum, the HST will be voted out,” he said. “We’ve placed hundreds of thousands of dol-lars aside in case it isn’t, because in this situation, the developer, Wanson, will be paying the HST on behalf of the buyers.”

Mayor Wayne Wright was on hand for the announcement, call-

ing it a “win-win-win” scenario for the developer, the city and prospective new homebuyers.

Asked why he was supporting the development, Wright said it was long overdue for that site.

“We’ve been waiting for this project for years and years and years. It’s in our bucket. We wanted this location to be done and to be done to this quality and standard,” he said. “I’m support-ing the development in general, and I’m supporting people com-ing to New Westminster to have a good place to live.”

2009 byelection, where NDP candidate Fin Donnelly beat his nearest rival, Conservative candidate Diana Dilworth, by more than 3,300 votes. It was a different story in the May 2008 federal election, when NDP candidate Dawn Black beat Conservative candi-date Yonah Martin by less than 1,500 votes.

“I am not taking any-thing for granted. Every vote is important. I think it’s going to be a battle again,” Donnelly said. “Harper is looking for his majority. He is looking for 12 seats. He is targeting swing ridings like this one.”

Liberal candidate Ken Lee and Green candidate Rebecca Helps, who also ran in the byelection, are once again seeking to become the rid-ing’s next MP.

Focus on the HSTThe harmonized sales

tax continues to be an elec-tion issue for some constitu-ents in New Westminster-Coquitlam.

NDP candidate Fin Donnelly issued a news release Tuesday saying things started to go down-hill for Conservative candi-date Diana Dilworth in the May 2008 byelection when she stated on CKNW that she would vote in favour of the HST if elected.

“I can’t believe the Conservatives admit they are still supporting the HST. The byelection gave vot-ers in my riding their first opportunity to vote on the tax, and they overwhelm-ingly rejected it,” he said. “Seventeen months later, voters across the prov-ince are still steaming over Harper’s tax hike, and the Conservatives just don’t get it.”

Dilworth did not return calls to The Record by its deadline. Her campaign office said she was out door knocking.

Donnelly said he con-tinues to hear concerns

about the HST while door knocking.

“When you get a chance to talk to people, it does come up under the broad issue of affordability,” he said. “It’s still an issue that people are not happy about.”

Donnelly said he’s sur-prised Conservatives con-tinue to support the HST even though many British Columbians oppose the tax. He said a Conservative offi-cial told CKNW Monday that “the HST is right for British Columbians,” which shows the Harper Conservatives remain out of touch.

“This election is about who British Columbians trust to represent their interests in Ottawa,” said Donnelly. “The Harper Conservatives aren’t listening and

haven’t learned their lesson. The New Democrats are the only party in B.C. that can beat the Conservatives and stop a Stephen Harper majority.”

Forseth returnsFormer member of

Parliament Paul Forseth is hoping to return to Ottawa, but he’ll have to unseat three-term NDP MP Peter Julian to do so.

Forseth, who served in the House of Commons from 1997 to 2006, is the Conservative candidate in Burnaby-New Westminster.

Forseth was elected MP for New Westminster-Coquitlam-Burnaby in 1993 (defeating incumbent NDP MP Dawn Black) and 1997 as a Reform Party candi-date, in 2000 as a Canadian Alliance candidate and in 2004 as a Conservative Party candidate. Black topped Forseth in the 2006 federal election.

Julian has represented Burnaby-New Westminster since June 2004. He was re-elected in 2006 and 2008. Other candidates vying in the riding are Liberal Garth Evans and the Green party’s Carrie McLaren.

Defence lawyer Georgia Docolas advised a B.C. Supreme Court judge on Monday not to make too much of her client Gary Johnston’s confession to undercover cops that he killed Vic Fraser in Surrey in 1998.

The statement was made during a so-called “Mr. Big” scenario involving police who were posing as gangsters.

Citing case law, Docolas stated it stands to reason that, when police set up in essence a job interview for a contract killer involving a “significant inducement” of cash, there’s consider-able risk the candidate might exagger-ate their qualifications.

Johnston, 53, is being tried for sec-

ond-degree murder for the March 1998 stabbing death of the 43-year-old Sapperton crane operator. The trial was heard in New Westminster. Fraser was stabbed nine times in the neck after interrupting a burglary at his sister’s bungalow in Bridgeview.

Docolas argued that Johnston did not provide details to the undercover operatives that corroborated the crime scene and that the

Crown relied on the testi-mony of unsa-voury wit-

nesses to make its case.In his closing remarks,

Crown prosecutor Lothar Kiner argued that despite “unsavoury pasts” of two key Crown witnesses, their accounts were made independently of one another and yet “corroborate each other remarkably.”

Kiner was referring to the accused’s younger brother, Mike Johnston, a

crack cocaine addict who told police his older brother confessed to him the crime in detail, and Richard Smith, who had helped Johnston dispose of the body of a caretaker Johnston killed

in Regina in November 1998.

Smith told the court that Johnston confessed to the Surrey murder right after he had dispatched of the care-taker in a similar way by stabbing him in the neck.

Moreover, Kiner noted, Johnston had confessed “with relish” to Fraser’s murder to undercover police officers posing as gangsters, when he was out on parole

for the Regina homicide.Justice Robert Crawford must now

decide what evidence is admissible in the case as the entire trial was heard in a voir dire, which is essentially a trial within a trial. The case was heard by Crawford without a jury.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced last week that if his party forms a majority government following May’s federal election, he will quickly take steps to undermine dem-ocracy.

Harper made his plan clear in comments to a news confer-ence in New Brunswick Friday when he committed to end per-vote sub-sidies to political parties.

What the prime minister means is

that he would like to repeal some of the world’s most progressive election finan-cing legislation and replace it, presum-ably, with a system more akin to that

in the United States, which ensures wealthy individuals and organizations have a dis-proportionate influence on lawmakers.

Currently, Canada’s regulations impose strict caps on the amount of money candidates can spend on election

campaigns, restrict donations from mem-bers of the public to modest sums and ban donations of any kind from corpora-tions and trade unions.

The bulk of any given candidate’s campaign money comes from the public purse, in the form of a $2 subsidy for every vote their party garnered in the previous election times the number of years that have passed since.

The effect is that it is more in the interests of a candidate to curry favour

from voters than to do so from big busi-ness or labour.

That will change if Harper is given an opportunity to put his plan into action. It is an idea with huge benefits for pri-vate interests and the parties that favour them, and absolutely nothing for ordin-ary Canadians.

If there was one reason, and one rea-son only to place a vote designed to neu-tralize the Conservatives, this would, in our opinion, merit that vote.

What direction will NDP choose?

Will NDP members choose a leader based on who is best suited to

get the party elected to govern-ment or who best represents their political philosophy or ideology?

If the former is the basis for voting, Mike Farnworth should be the hands-down winner. If it’s the latter, then Adrian Dix may prove the victor.

The latest Ipsos-Reid poll shows that Farnworth beats his rivals every which way when it comes to who stands the best chance of attracting voters to the NDP. The others aren’t even close to matching his popularity with the general public, or with people who voted NDP in the last elec-tion. He is also the only candidate who, when pitted head to head with Premier Christy Clark when it comes to who would make the best premier, offers a competitive contest. (The online poll was con-ducted March 31 to April 4. With a sample size of 700, the margin of error is plus or minus 3.7 per cent.)

The poll is the latest one to show that Farnworth continues to best his rivals in general popular-ity. But will these polls influence the 28,000 or so party members when they begin voting for a new

leader next week?The question of winning

power versus maintaining ideo-logical positions has long vexed many NDP members. Some seem more comfortable in the atmosphere of Official Opposition rather than in government, which requires constant compromising.

Farnworth is very much the most centrist candidate, which explains his broader appeal. Dix is a class warfare advocate, who unabashedly wants to push the party left because he feels that would motivate its core to get out and vote. Dix correctly notes more than a million voters sim-ply don’t vote. Although I don’t think a majority of them neces-sarily adhere to socialist values, presumably a number of them are indeed disaffected NDP voters who may find Dix’s candidacy attractive.

But the poll seems to suggest otherwise. On the questions of who would be most likely to motivate people to vote for the NDP, Farnworth comes out on top by a wide margin (25 per cent versus just eight per cent for Dix and four per cent for John Horgan). Dix, on the other hand, is the distinct choice among vot-ers when asked who would be the least likely candidate to get people to vote for his party (19 per cent versus just nine per cent for Farnworth).

Perhaps most telling, however, is how the candidates fare in a head-to-head matchup with Clark on the question of who would make the best premier.

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

What happened to courtesy?Dear Editor:

On this past Sunday, just after the noon hour, I witnessed one of the worst acts of service that I feel others living in New Westminster need to be aware of as someone could have been seriously hurt.

I was on the Cumberland Street hill facing north at Eighth Avenue, waiting for the light to change. We all know how steep that hill is.

One of the Royal City taxis was pulled over about two feet from the sidewalk waiting for his fare to get out.

It was an elderly lady trying to get out from the backseat with her handbag, umbrella and her bag of groceries.

As I watched, I could see she was struggling to get out with the items, with no assistance from the driver.

Finally out, and the door closed and the driver,

without as much as check in his rear-view mirror, sped off down the hill, leaving the lady on the street trying to maintain her balance.

Within seconds, the elderly lady fell to the ground. I and three other motorists exited our vehicles and were at her side to assist her.

While the four of us checked her for injuries and then helped her to her feet, we all commented on the lack of service the cabbie gave to this lady.

Why not pull right to the sidewalk? Why not get out of your cab to assist her out of the backseat? Why not wait to make sure that she was on her way to her home?

It would have taken maybe three minutes out of your day to help her to the entrance sidewalk to her home and make sure she was OK.

I hope that maybe Royal City Taxi and other busi-ness will get the message that serving their senior clients also includes making sure they are safe.

City should meter waterDear Editor:

We are new residents to New Westminster (my husband and myself), and imagine our surprise when the utility bill showed and we were charged the same amount for water, sewer and garbage as a household of four or six.

The City of New Westminster recently delivered composting bins to all house-holds in the city, and one must assume from that they are thinking sustainability. So if sustainability is important in the city, why then would the water not be metered? If water was metered, each household would be able to monitor their water use; therefore having a reason to conserve water, as they could control their usage and therefore their bill.

Surrey, Richmond and a number of other communities have started metering their water and the cities have found huge sav-ings in their water consumption and there-fore their purchase of the water. Metering water is a win for the city, a win for the residents and a win for the environment.

Enforce city dog bylawsDear Editor:

You recently ran a letter from Fanny Hsu regarding people not picking up after their dogs in Queen’s Park (Unleashed dogs an issue, Letters to the editor, The Record, March 19). She seemed like an intelligent person with some valid points to make, until the last paragraph of her letter. She thinks the parks should be providing plastic bags and paper towels for owners to pick up after their dogs? Does she also think that the park should be providing ashtrays for the smok-ers to pick up their cigarette butts?

There are actually metal boxes in the park for people to leave plastic bags for

picking up after dogs. If people choose to take their dogs to the park, then it is their responsibility to bring bags to pick up after their dogs.

There is a bylaw regarding people that don’t pick up after their dogs (and also a bylaw regarding smoking in the park). The bylaws should be enforced.

Job search is frustratingDear Editor:

I’m a new immigrant. I have been in Canada for just 10 months. Many friends of mine ask me: how about living in Canada? I really want to say to them: Canada – it’s not so easy to love you.

Finding a job is the most important thing for immigrants, but it’s also the most dif-ficult thing. Many immigrants have good education background and many years working experience in their country. Yet, with all their experience, we cannot get a job, even though we are junior profession-als. What is the cause of this situation?

Firstly, English is our second language. Learning any foreign language takes a long time and a great deal of effort. Secondly, almost all available work goes to those with local education and local experience. Yet, without local working experience, you can’t find a job. It’s a cycle that’s very frustrating for us!

How do we solve this problem? I think the key way is to help immigrants get local working experience, which is related with their profession, while improving work-ing English. Some might say, there is a lot of government funding. We must channel some of that funding directly into the work-place. Invest in the workplace by giving government funds directly to enterprises to help immigrants. This would be a win-win for both immigrants and enterprises.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

New Westminster Record • Wednesday, April 6, 2011 • 7

The New Westminster Record is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing

the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member

newspapers. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you

may contact the B.C. Press Council. For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org.

Clark has a wide lead over both Dix (44 per cent to 25 per cent for Dix) and Horgan (41 per cent versus 22 per cent). Farnworth trails Clark on this question as well, but the gap is suffi-ciently narrow (38 per cent for Clark to Farnworth’s 32 per cent) to suggest it would be a competitive contest between the two.

Farnworth leads among general voters, NDP vot-ers and even B.C. Liberal voters on every question. That’s why a number of B.C. Liberals have told reporters they are most worried about a potential victory by him on April 17, and why they are rubbing their hands with relish at

the prospect of a Dix win.Of course, all polls are

simply snapshots of public opinion. That opinion can swiftly change.

Farnworth’s personal popularity could sour with people once more scrutiny is paid to his leadership and his party’s positions. The NDP leadership race has received scant media attention, which means no bad publicity has come their way. And a Dix vic-tory may indeed fire up the party faithful and motivate more voters on the left to come out and vote in num-bers not seen previously.

Finally, one must con-sider the move of longtime federal Conservative MP John Cummins to provin-

cial politics. If he breathes life into the moribund B.C. Conservative Party, he may take enough votes away from the B.C. Liberals to allow the NDP to win enough seats to form gov-ernment even if its popular vote shrinks.

A similar outcome occurred in the 1996 elec-tion, when Glen Clark won power with fewer votes than the B.C. Liberals because the B.C. Reform party took almost 10 per cent of the votes.

And who was a key member of Clark’s strategy team? Why, Adrian Dix, of course.

or not take any action. The city had invited the owner, Westley Baker, to appear before city council before it makes a decision about the business licence.

Derek A. Birch, a solicitor hired by Baker regarding the proposed licence cancella-tion, expressed concern about the speed at which the city is moving to cancel the business licence of a 25-year member of the business community based on three letters from police. He requested a two-week delay in the hearing so more information can be obtained.

Baker’s next appearance on the criminal charges is on Friday in Surrey provincial court. He’s being represented on those mat-ters by lawyer Jack Harris, who told Birch last week that he has received no disclosure about the type of evidence facing his client.

“We know the charges Mr. Baker is facing,” Birch said. “We don’t know the substance or any of the details of the allega-tions.”

A staff report stated that following a five-month investigation into Westley’s Military Surplus, police recommended numerous firearms-related offences against Baker, including ammunition trafficking, weap-ons trafficking, possession for the purpose of trafficking firearms and counselling to make automatic firearms.

Tom McCluskie, superintendent offi-cer in charge of the Combined Forces Enforcement Unit Gang Task Force, said the region has experienced a dramatic increase in gang violence since 2007. He said police have “great concern” about the impact of the business owner’s “careless regard” for

distributing starter pistols.“During the course of this investigation,

the gang task force learned that converted starter pistols have been recovered at vari-ous crime scenes in the Lower Mainland area, on Vancouver Island and now in Toronto,” he said in a letter to city council. “These recovered converted starter pistols are of the same make and model as ones purchased from Westley’s. Investigators believe that Mr. Baker’s careless distribution of firearms and ammunition has placed the safety of the citizens of New Westminster and the Lower Mainland at risk.”

Birch said that proceeding with the hear-ing about the business licence under a “veneer of organized crime and murder” does not serve the interests of fairness.

“I think we’d learn a lot more,” he said about delaying the hearing by a couple of weeks. “I think there is a lot in these (police) letters that will never be substantiated.”

Birch said the city’s decision to consider revoking the business licence is based on the activities being considered in the court-house. He believes it will be shown in court that blank-firing guns are not capable of firing real ammunition or being converted to fire real ammunition, as has been alleged by police.

Birch said his information is that Westley Military Surplus is currently not selling starter pistols, blank firearms, body armor or anything like that.

“All of that is gone,” he said. “It is a store full of clothes and old military memo-rabilia.”

Council agreed to delay the show-cause hearing for two weeks.

A New Westminster police officer has been convicted of assaulting a newspaper delivery man while off-duty and intoxi-cated.

Vancouver Provincial Court judge Jodie Werier found Jeffrey Klassen guilty of one count of assault. In court on Tuesday, she said she found that Klassen had no justifi-cation to either jump on Firoz Khan or to detain him.

Werier read out a 75-minute decision in which she said she didn’t believe Klassen’s testimony that he’d only consumed nine to 11 beers during an eight-hour drink-ing session on Jan. 21, 2009 with two other off-duty officers, West Vancouver Const. Griffin Gillan and Delta Const. Blair Tanino.

Gillan previously pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to 21 days in jail, to be served in the community, fol-lowed by six months of probation. Tanino was not charged.

Gillan left his friends at the Roxy on Granville Street and confronted Khan, who was delivering a stack of newspapers

to the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Burrard Street, at 2:30 a.m. He phoned his friends for assistance during his assault on Khan. Upon arriving in a taxi, Klassen jumped on Khan.

“There was no justification for Klassen to have intervened at the time in the man-ner that he did,” said Werier.

Werier acquitted Klassen of possession of stolen property for having Khan’s cell-phone in his pocket.

Klassen is due to be sentenced May 18. He is also currently being investigated under the Police Act, and his future as a police officer has yet to be decided.

“At the conclusion of the Police Act investigation, a discipline proceeding will be initiated, at which time Const. Klassen’s employment with the New Westminster Police Service will be determined.,” said police spokesperson Sgt. Gary Weishaar.

“Const. Klassen has been suspended from duty since the criminal charges were laid, and the suspension continues. The New Westminster police board will meet to review Const. Klassen’s status of sus-pension, with or without pay.”

An arts advisory task force continues to provide invaluable input into the planning of the Royal City’s future civic centre.

Coun. Bill Harper, who is a member of the task force, said the group has been providing the city with valuable input about the needs of an art centre. The future civic centre on Columbia Street includes arts components such as a theatre, a gallery and the city’s museum.

In addition to consider-ing the ceramic and pot-tery program, he said the task force has considered a number of technical issues regarding the centre.

“These artists are so tal-

ented,” said Coun. Betty McIntosh, who has also been attending the task force’s meetings. “They are so willing to give of their time and expertise.”

McIntosh said the task force members have made sure the city knows that natural light will destroy artwork, so a gallery shouldn’t have windows.

“If you have the UVA rays coming in, you destroy artwork,” she said. “The museum is the same, you have to have a very con-trolled environment.”

Artists serving on the task force also provid-ed input that saw a pot-tery/ceramic studio being removed from the plans because of concerns that dust and dirt could harm artifacts in other areas of

the civic centre.“It is basically called

a dirty artwork form,” McIntosh said about pot-tery. “You’ve got dust, you’ve got water.”

The task force cited con-cerns about the compat-ibility of this art form with the other uses in the civic centre, including the con-vention/banquet, theatre, museum and archives and art gallery spaces. Because of the concerns identified by the task force, city staff supported the idea of pro-viding a pottery/ceramic program at an alternate venue outside of the multi-use civic facility.

Most recently, the task force has been discussing the type of staffing that will be needed at the civic cen-tre.

The kids sitting in the stair-well playing a beguiling duet on their guitars aren’t skipping class. Nor are those down the hallway, sprawled with their gui-tars against the lockers.

They’re just part of the fun that is guitar class at New Westminster Secondary School – where a recent donation is making guitar music even more accessible for students.

Peter Zaenker, the school’s guitar teacher, has been on a mis-sion to offer more chances for the students who pack the school’s guitar classes – he has four class-es this year, with students from all grades.

“My goal is to give kids more opportunities,” he said. “There’s kids here I think could benefit from having better instruments.”

He points out that some of his students don’t have their own instruments, and some may come from families where the purchase of a musical instrument just isn’t possible.

Fundraising can be a chal-lenge, he notes, especially because the guitar classes at NWSS aren’t performance-based – unlike choir and band, where regular public performances keep those pro-grams in the public eye.

So Zaenker was delighted to discover a charitable Adopt an Instrument program offered through the Music B.C. Charitable Foundation and SHORE 104.3 FM radio station.

The program offers both donated, refurbished instruments and brand-new instruments to schools in need.

Zaenker got to choose some donated instruments – from a storage room at SHORE FM, he claimed a host of acoustic guitars, plus a few electric guitars and a bass guitar. The donation also includes a variety of sheet music and guitar picks.

The school will also receive 15 brand-new acoustic Epiphones from the Gibson guitar company.

In total, his classes will see about 30 new instruments – which, he notes, will allow him to lend them to students who could benefit from having a bet-

ter instrument.The students who have filled

up Room 203 for a Monday morning guitar class – creating a happy cacophony that turns into musicality when Zaenker leads them through a series of chords – are happy with the chance to study guitar in school.

Greg Levkine, a Grade 10 student, has been studying the instrument for about a year-and-a-half. He considered learning other instruments, he says, but there was something appealing about the guitar.

“Just the things it can do. There’s so much you can do with a guitar compared to other instruments,” he says, noting you can strum, or pick, or finger-pick. “I was interested in drums, but guitar got me because it was kind of more available, you can bring it somewhere.”

Outside of school, he says, he plays around on his own but

doesn’t take private lessons. Before he signed up for Zaenker’s classes, he says, he spent most of his time on heavier, faster music like metal. That’s begun to change as he’s been introduced to other styles.

“It opens my options,” he says. “I’m opening more to finger picking, and trying different things. It gives me a differ-ent outlook on natural harmonics.”

Grade 9 student Sophie Holliday – one of a minority of girls in the class-room – says picking up guitar was natural for her.

“My family is really into music,” she says, noting there are guitars everywhere in her life since her stepdad and brother both play. “They were always playing around me.”

Sophie also plays flute and clarinet and is trying to learn

the piano. But she’s particularly fond of guitar for country music – it works well for acoustic guitar, she says.

And she’s keen on Zaenker’s classes.

“I like that I can come to class and learn something new every

time. I don’t have to worry about running out of things to learn,” she says. “I like the music he gives us, because each one is unique and interest-ing, and it sounds

nice.”Rafael Rosas, a Grade 11 stu-

dent, has been playing guitar for about two years since picking it up in school.

“I just like music, and I want-ed to play an instrument, so I liked that guitar was an option,” he says.

He likes rock and classical music, he says, but he’s open to

just about anything.“I’ve tried many things, like

electric guitar, and many differ-ent styles of playing,” he says. “I just like playing for the fun of it.”

It’s that love of the instrument that Zaenker wants to be able to bring to even more students, now that he has more instruments to use.

“It’s pretty amazing at this school how much music they have,” he says.

And, he notes, he’s committed to staying at the school to help the guitar program continue to grow.

“My goal is to create some kind of guitar ensemble here, which isn’t so often seen in schools,” he says.

A busy placeThe New Westminster

Youth Centre continues to

attract younger folks from around the Royal City.

Sandon Fraser, the city’s youth services coordinator, said more than 95 youths dropped by the youth centre on a recent Friday night. The centre opened in September 2010.

“We are continuing to grow,” he said.

“We are seeing new faces everyday.”

The centre is so popular that some younger kids are trying to sneak in to the facility in Moody Park, something Fraser said is a “good problem” to have.

You’ve heard of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. But have you heard of Antonio Salieri?

The Vagabond Players are presenting Peter Shaffer’s drama Amadeus,onstage at the Bernie Legge Theatre in Queen’s Park until April 23. The pro-duction is directed by Lou Lou Leroux and stars Alex McMorran as Salieri.

Amadeus – which was inspired by Aleksandr Pushkin’s short play Mozartand Salieri – combines fic-tion and history to explore the lives and rivalry of the two composers between 1781 and 1791.

The play focuses on Salieri, and the audience sees the story through his eyes – sometimes as an old man, speaking to his con-

fessors in 1823, and some-times as a younger man, court composer to Emperor Joseph II of Austria.

The show runs Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., with Sunday mati-nees at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $15 regular, $13 for seniors or $5 for high school students with eyeGO card. For reserva-tions, call 604-521-0412 or

email [email protected].

Up next for Vagabond Players will be Shadow of Murder, a murder mystery play written and directed by Burnaby’s Elizabeth Elwood. That’s set for June 2 to 25.

More information about both productions can be found online at www.vagabondplayers.ca.

A New Westminster author is fea-tured in an upcoming reading night at Vancouver Public Library.

Don Hauka joins fellow B.C. mystery authors Joan Donaldson-Yarmey and Robin Spano for The Three Tremors: A trio of unabashedly Canadian sleuths. It’s set for Monday, April 11 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Peter Kaye Room at the Vancouver Public Library’s central branch.

The three authors, who are all members of the Crime Writers of Canada, will read from their latest works and take part in a question-and-answer session.

Hauka will read from his latest novel, She Demons, the second in his Mister Jinnah series. The novel fea-tures larger-than-life crime reporter Hakeem Jinnah racing to find a killer and help save his buddy Sergeant Graham’s career – in the face of

threats to his family, his friends and his life. Hauka, a former reporter, based his journalistic sleuth on his former Province newspaper colleague Salim Jiwa.

Donaldson-Yarmey, who was born in New Westminster, raised in Edmonton and now lives on Vancouver Island, will read the latest chapter in the adventures of her fictional amateur detec-tive, Edmonton travel writ-er Elizabeth Oliver. In TheOnly Shadow in the House,Elizabeth helps a wheelchair basketball coach find out the truth about his mother’s death.

Spano’s work features Clare Vengel, a young undercover cop. Her first novel, Dead Politician Society, sees Clare go undercover when a secret university society is suspected of

engineering the death of the mayor. Her second book, Death Plays Poker,to be released this year, takes Clare

undercover on a world-class poker tour.

Admission to the Three Tremors reading is free.

Meanwhile, Hauka is also working to bring his latest Jinnah adventure to the screen. Two previous Jinnah stories have been turned into TV movies: White Knight, Black Widow(an adaptation of Hauka’s novel Mr. Jinnah: Securities)in 2003, and Jinnah on Crime:

Pizza 911 in 2002.Hauka has just returned from the

FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry) Frames conference in Mumbai, India.

Midget Giants breaking new ground

The Northwest Giants are going where few B.C. midget hockey teams have dared to tread.

The Burnaby-based major midget hockey team earned the right to rep-resent the B.C./Alberta Pacific region at the Telus Cup national midget hock-ey championships, follow-ing a 3-1 victory over the Red Deer Optimist Rebels at the Burnaby Winter Club Saturday.

The Giants opened the best-of-three regional final series with a 7-2 win at home on Friday.

The three-time defend-ing B.C. major midget playoff champions then swept the Alberta league winners in two straight games to become just the second-ever team from Burnaby to make it to the national midget champi-onships.

The Burnaby Winter Club Travellers, which included National Hockey League great Cliff Ronning in the lineup, is the only B.C. team to capture the gold medal at the midget championships, winning a then-Air Canada Cup national title in 1982. The Travellers also won a bronze medal at the midg-et nationals in 1980.

An earlier Northwest Giants team under head coach Grant Kerr made it to the Telus Cup as the Pacific region representa-tive when championship tournament host Red Deer beat the B.C. team in the regional final series in 2007.

But B.C. has been all but shut out by its Alberta counterparts when it

comes to representing the region at the nationals.

Host North Kamloops Lions was an exception in 1996, earning a bronze medal.

“I knew (Red Deer) was going to be a bit tougher and they were. We needed a cou-ple of openings to let our stars shine and they did,” said first-year Giants head coach Todd Harkins, who had an 11-year pro career, including NHL stints with the Calgary Flames and the Hartford Whalers in the 1990s.

After a scoreless open-

ing frame, Alex Roberts of Burnaby got the home team on the scoresheet

first, finish-ing off a super rush up ice by Sean Lan that resulted in a juicy rebound in front of the net.

R o b e r t s wristed the puck from in front by Red Deer goalie Tanner Jaillet into a gaping net at 6:46 of the second period.

Five min-utes later,

series MVP Alex Kerfoot made it 2-0 on a power play, finishing off a pretty tic-tac-toe from the right

faceoff circle, whipping a cross-ice passing play from Cam Marks and Joseph Carvalho of Burnaby into the net.

Kerfoot and linemate Sam Reinhart also teamed up on the final goal of the night that ended Alberta’s long reign in the regional series after a desperate Rebel club got one goal back late in the second period.

Following a late third-period faceoff in their own zone, Kerfoot feath-ered a neat pass up ice to Reinhart, who went in alone to score into an empty net with 27.6 sec-onds left on the clock.

“We have a pretty spe-cial group here, we all want the same thing,” said Kerfoot after the game. “(Red Deer) was on the

verge of losing and they are a great team. We had to keep pushing, but it came out our way at the end. I was glad to get it done in regulation.”

The difference in the third period was Giants goalie and player of the game Daniel Cotton, who kicked out all 11 Rebel shots in the final frame.

“The team played great. They made it easy for me. It really was a team effort,” said Cotton.

Cotton stopped 23 shots for perhaps the biggest win of his young career. But the 17-year-old West Vancouver keeper is not satisfied with just repre-senting the region at the Telus Cup.

What a rush: Alex Roberts, seen with puck in earlier playoff game against Greater Vancouver, scored the fi rst goal for the Northwest Giants in a 3-1 victory over Alberta champion Red Deer Rebels on Saturday.

Winnipeg westerns

a good sign for Bruins

The Burnaby Winter Club Bruins will be in Winnipeg this Thursday for a second crack in as many years at a third Western Canada bantam hockey championship banner.

The bantam AAA Bruins earned their sec-ond straight appearance at the westerns following a 6-3 win over the host Abbotsford Hawks at the recent provincials.

The last time, the winter club competed for a west-ern title in Winnipeg, the Bruins came away with the banner in 2007 against this year’s hosts, the Winnipeg Sharks.

Last year, Burnaby hosted the championships, which was won by the Winnipeg Monarchs over the Calgary Bisons in a third period of overtime.

Also taking part from Manitoba will be this year’s provincial champion Winnipeg Hawks.

The two Manitoba teams will open the five-team Western champion-ships on Thursday.

Alberta will be repre-sented by the AAA league runner-up and playoff champion SSAC Southgate Lions, which took the AAA provincial series 3-1 over last year’s west-ern Canadian runner-up and overall points leader, Calgary Bisons.

The Lions will face off against the Saskatchewan league champs Prince Albert Pirates.

Prince Albert capped an impressive 42-2-1 reg-ular season, downing the Saskatoon Maniacs in the prairie association’s total-point playoff final.

BWC takes on the host Sharks in Thursday’s night game.

The Bruins then play the Southgate Lions on Friday morning, followed by a game against the Hawks later in the evening.

The B.C. champs face Prince Albert in their only game on Saturday.

BWC teams have won a Western Canada banner in 2002 and again in 2007, with arguably more star-studded teams.

STM teen earns world junior golf qualifying spot

St. Thomas More Collegiate junior Kevin Vigna shot the daylights out of the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour prodigy series at Morgan Creek Golf Course last weekend.

The 15-year-old Burnaby inde-pendent school student carded a two day, six-under-par 138 to win the boy’s 14-to-16 age division and post the best overall score among a full field of 78 young golfers at the South Surrey course

April 2 and 3.Vigna, who shares two previ-

ous B.C. AA high school golf titles with STM, carded a four-under 68 on the par-72, 6,638-yard Morgan Creek course on the opening day, tying him with defending champi-on Kevin Kwon of Pitt Meadows for the lead.

Vigna and Kwon played togeth-er in the final round and were still tied after the front nine.

Kwon was one-up heading to the final hole after both teens bird-ied the par-5 17th.

With Kwon on the green, and

Vigna on the fringe with a 15-yard uphill chip, it was crunch time for the Coquitlam golfer.

“I knew I had to make a bird-ie,” Vigna said. “(Kwon) came up to me and said, ‘You got to chip it in to tie,’ in a nice way to boost me up. I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll try.’

Vigna holed out his birdie attempt to finish with a two-under-par 70.

Kwon missed his downhill putt and wound up with a 71, one shot back.

“I wanted to play off, but it was hard to see him three-putt,” Vigna

added.With the win, Vigna is eligible

for the Future Collegiate World Tour national championships in Florida or a qualifying spot at the U.S. Junior sectionals. He also earned a chance to qualify for the Junior World Golf Championships in San Diego, California.

Closer to home, Vigna has his eye on qualifying for the Canadian junior championships this season, and coming in the top 10 at the B.C. juvenile tournament.

Vigna also has a goal of a top-25 finish at the CN Futurelinks.

just swept a really good team in Alberta,” Cotton added. “I think we’re going to go all the way. I think we have a really good shot at it.”

So might others in attendance who have witnessed the Giants in past seasons against the best from Alberta.

In 2007, current Western Hockey Leaguers Landon Ferraro, Matt Mackenzie and Clinton Atkinson were a goal away from a bronze medal at the Telus Cup.

Current WHL star Ryan Nugent-Hopkins led a talented Giants team that fell 2-1 in Game 3 to eventual Telus Cup runner-up Calgary Buffaloes at BWC in 2009.

Last year, the likes of captain Steven Iacobellis, WHL Edmonton Oil King draft pick Griffin Reinhart and current NHL

draft prospect Destry Straight couldn’t get past Red Deer at the regionals.

“I think they finally bought into what I was selling,” said Harkins. “I wasn’t the most talented player, but I worked hard.”

And that, along with dedication and commitment, is exactly what Harkins expects from his charges.

First-year defenceman Joseph Carvalho is one hard worker he won’t have to con-vince.

“We’re obviously really happy to get (to the Telus Cup), but we’re going to have our eyes on the prize. Everyone said (Red Deer) was bigger, faster and stronger, but we’re just going to keep playing our game. We have faith in our systems. We’re not going to change anything,” Carvalho said.

The Telus Cup will take place in St. John’s, Nfld. from April 18 to 24.

Giants: Telus Cup faces off on April 18

Senior named player of weekStony Brook University

senior Jordan McBride was named the America East conference player of the week on April 4.

The New Westminster attack scored a season-high seven goals for the No. 15-ranked Seawolves to a 16-5 victory over the University of Maryland – Baltimore County in the varsity field lacrosse season opener for both teams on April 1.

McBride, the active Division 1 goal-scoring

leader in the NCAA, scored five of his team’s first eight goals in the match.

“I’ve been slumping a little bit, so I did my best to get involved early,” said McBride in a Stony Brook online press release.

McBride currently leads the nation among active goal scorers with 153 tal-lies.

Stony Brook held the Maryland school scoreless for the first three quarters. McBride counted back-

to-back markers in the third period to give the Seawolves their biggest lead of the game at 14-0.

McBride sits second in the conference, behind New Westminster team-mate Kevin Crowley, in goals per game, with 2.38 an outing.

McBride has scored 19 goals in eight games so far this season for Stony Brook. McBride has 22 total points for the Seawolves, sixth in the America East.

Age and experience: Victor Dombrovskiy, left in white, is one of just two returning players for the Burnaby Winter Club bantam A1 hockey team.

But Bruins head coach John Batchelor liked the makeup of this year’s group from Day One.

Returning just two players off last year’s championship squad, Cameron Seto and Victor Dombrovskiy, BWC had to overcome stiff competition this season from both the Kamloops Jardine Blazers

and Abbotsford, which upset the regular season champs at the Pacific Coast playdowns.

“We had a better feeling this team would answer the bell when it counted,” said Batchelor.

“We beat the Saskatchewan team this year, and with two Winnipeg teams as hosts, every game is going to be

like playing Kamloops or Abbotsford.”

The medal round will be played on Sunday, begin-ning with the bronze medal matchup against the third- and fourth-placed teams.

The Western Canada championship gold-medal final will follow between the two teams with the best overall record through the round-robin.

It’s a whole new kind of mortgage that lets you call the shots. You can put extramoney in, take it out anytime and even skip a payment once a year, no questions asked. You’re also in charge of your rate. Choose between a fi xed, a variable, and our Half & Half™ Rate – which gives you the advantages of both. Who’s the boss? You are. With the You’re the Boss™ Mortgage.

To learn more go to www.coastcapitalsavings.com, call 1.877.517.7849 or drop by your local branch. Or if you prefer, a Mobile Mortgage Specialist can come to you. Simply go to our website or give us a call to arrange a visit.

Interest rate and approval based on risk profi le. Interest rate effective April 4, 2011 and subject to change without notice. High ratio mortgages, non-residential mortgages and non-owner occupied properties are not eligible. Prepayment, reborrow and skip a payment rights are each subject to specifi c limitations, restrictions and conditions including maximum and minimum dollar amounts. The Half & Half Rate is a variable rate. When the Coast Capital Savings prime lending rate goes up or down, the Half & Half Rate goes up or down by one-half of the change in the prime lending rate. 1 Initial interest rate and the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) on a 5-year variable convertible, closed mortgage, compounded monthly. If fees and/or charges apply, the APR could increase. This is a variable rate product which will fl uctuate with Coast Capital Savings’ prime lending rate.

CHILDRENFun By The Numbers

Like puzzles?Then you'll love Sudoku.This mind-bending puzzlewill have you hookedfrom the moment yousquare off, so sharpenyour pencil and putyour Sudoku savvy

to the test!

Here's How It Works:Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3

boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each

row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row,

column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers

will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
