Construction has begun on a newbuilding on top of Burnaby
Mountain thatcould be the first in Canada to meet theLiving
Building Challenge and achievea new standard of environmental
steward-ship by being energy-independent, water-independent, free
of any toxic materialsand completely local in its composition.
There are currently three other projectsin B.C. trying to meet
the Cascadia Region
Green Building Councils sustainabil-ity challenge the Centre for
InteractiveResearch on Sustainabilty buildingat UBC, VanDusen
Botanical Gardensnew $20-million upgrade and the RobertBateman Art
and Environmental Centreat Victorias Royal Roads University. Butthe
SFU project, a new daycare for theUniverCity residential complex,
is likelyto be the first thanks to the simplicity ofits design.
Ours is a 6,000-square-foot primarilywood and steel frame
building, and the
construction program is a lot simpler,explained Dale Mikkelsen,
manager ofplanning and sustainability for the project.The goal for
this building is to be whatsknown as a net zero building, which
basi-cally means the building will create asmany BTUs which is a
measurement ofenergy as it will use in a year. What thatmeans is
the building will produce ther-mal energy through solar hot water
frompanels on the roof.
Mikkelsen, whose resum includes
Metro Vancouvers waste committeeis moving forward with plans to
build agarbage incinerator for the region.
The decision came Wednesday, afterextensive consultation with
city politi-cians throughout the Lower Mainlandand Fraser Valley,
as well as publichearings over the past few months.
The issue ofwhether a landfill orincineratorwouldbebest for the
regionhas been a hot topicas Metro Vancouverconducted
consulta-tions about its inte-grated solid wasteand resource
man-agement plan.
Metro Vancou-vers initial man-agement plan draft
favoured a waste-to-energy incinerator.The regional government
has respond-ed to worldwide criticism of the incin-erators on its
website.
Mayor Derek Corrigan is in favourof the incineration plan,
saying thatthose who are anti-incineration arepro-landfill.
Scientific study identifies incinera-tors as environmentally and
economi-cally better waste disposal options, hesaid.
The plan is being amended to include

Digging the moment: Zacharie Parkyn, 17 months, and other
youngsters wait for the digging to start at the groundbreakingfor a
new daycare at UniverCity. The building is set to be the first and
greenest of its kind in the country.

Two Burnaby hotels are giving back tothe community by providing
complimen-tary rooms to recording artists and thoseinvolved in the
Burnaby Blues and RootsFestival.
The hotels have also booked local bluesacts to play in their
entertainment venuesduring Burnaby Blues Week leading upto the
festival, which is on Saturday, Aug.14.
The new Delta Burnaby Hotel hasturned over 20 comped room nights
for thefestival to the City of Burnaby, accordingto Matthew
Ballesty, the executive generalmanager of the Grand Villa
Casino.
The casino includes the Delta BurnabyHotel, and the Scala Lounge
and EboRestaurant, where British Columbian
blues musicians will play in advance ofthe festival.
Were trying our best to be as involvedas possible, Ballesty
said.
Because of the hotels proximity toDeer Lake Park, it made sense
to provideaccommodations to musicians and thoseinvolved with the
festival, he said.
Providing a place for musicians to playalso feels in line with
what Grand Villa isabout, according to Ballesty.
Entertainment is definitely one of ourpillars of offering, he
said. There is anentertainment flavour to everything wedo.
The casino management believes it isimportant to be involved in
the commu-nity, he said, pointing out all the civicprojects
financed by gaming funds.
The city receives gaming funds for hav-ing a casino located
within Burnaby.
We want to be involved in the com-munity, Ballesty said. The
blues festivalis a great opportunity to do that.
Lesismore will play Thursday, Aug. 12and Friday, Aug. 13, prior
to Saturdaysfestival, at Ebo Restaurant at the DeltaBurnaby Hotel
from 6 to10 p.m.
Taylor James plays theScala Lounge at the GrandVilla Casino from
9 to 11p.m. on Thursday.
James managementcompany got in touch with the casinoabout
playing the show, Ballesty said, andthey were happy to have
her.
On Friday, James will also play a freeconcert at the outdoor
plaza at Metropolisat Metrotown from noon to 2 p.m.
The Hilton Vancouver Metrotown isalso involved in sponsoring the
festival.
The hotel has also provided compedrooms for the festival,
according to DenisNokony, assistant director of cultural ser-vices
for the City of Burnaby.

A number of things in Portlandcaught the eyes of the Burnaby
del-egation when they went to check outthe blues festival earlier
this month.
The delegation attended theSafeway Waterfront Blues Festival
inPortland, Oregon from July 2 to 5 togather ideas for future
Burnaby Bluesand Roots festivals.
But one thing in particular caughthold of their attention and
their appe-tites the citys bounty of food carts.
One of the things Portland hasthat is very unusual is these
outdoorfood vendors, and a lot of them,Mayor Derek Corrigan said in
aninterview upon his return.
Corrigan, as well as city staff andcouncillors, had a chance to
perusethe citys well-known street treats,and Corrigan was impressed
with theofferings, he said.
We ate at one of the vendors, andthe food was pretty good,
Corrigansaid.
Portlands 80 carts are hooked intothe citys electrical and
plumbing sys-
tem, allowing for a wider varietyof foodstuffs beyond the
commonhotdog.
The semi-permanent street cartsare connected via parking
lots,Corrigan said.
But it isnt likely that Burnaby willbe allowing food carts of
any kindanytime soon.
The problem is it can become pro-hibitively expensive tooperate
them, Corrigansaid. And youve got tobalance very legitimatehealth
concerns againstthe viability of theseoperations.
Another issue is howthese businesses couldaffect restaurants,
headded.
Merchants put a lot ofinvestment in their busi-nesses and put a
much more signifi-cant investment in restaurants, hesaid, adding it
would be difficult tobalance the needs of restaurant own-ers with
those of food cart vendors.You cant go too far, with the
foodcarts.
Burnaby currently does not pro-vide licences for outdoor food
ven-dors on public property, outside offestivals and events.
The City of Vancouver is conduct-ing a food cart trial this
summer andhas chosen new vendors for 17 spots
through a licensing lottery.Close to 800 vendors, with culi-
nary cuisine representing about 21countries and cultural
backgrounds,applied to be part of Vancouversexpanded street food
pilot program.
As we head into the heart of thesummer season and welcome
visitorsto Vancouver, our city will be morealive and inviting with
the new foods
vendors will bring to ourstreets, Mayor GregorRobertson said in
a citypress release. Given theamount of interest wevehad for this
initial launch,well definitely be look-ing at ways to expandfood
cart options acrossVancouver even more.
The chosen vendorsneed to be prepared tobegin operations by
July
31.The food has to be nutritional and
healthy, and vendors need a plan tomanage waste. Cart owners
also needapproval of food handling practicesfrom Vancouver Coastal
Health.
The expanded food vending pilotprogram is part of a long-term
planto expand street food options inVancouver and add more carts to
cityand private property, according tothe release.
This first phase includes city side-walks and curbside
locations.

Every other day in the bigmainstream dailies, itseems, some
right-wingchampion of so-called public/private partnerships is
givengenerous column inches to extolthe virtues of such
partnershipsand the global mar-ket.
For example, ATBFinancial econo-mist Todd Hirsch argued
thatopponents of a Calgary bridgeconstruction project, whichwent to
a Spanish bidder, wereneedlessly paranoid about lostjobs and
insecure in their failureto embrace the wisdom of theglobal market
in awarding con-tracts for large public infrastruc-ture
projects.
Mr. Hirschs argument restedon the tit-for-tat logic of
globaltrade that if we give a con-struction project to a companyin
Spain, well end up getting aninformation technology contractin
return. This misses the pointabout the Bow River bridge dealand
similar projects elsewhere.Mr. Hirsch and like-mindedobservers, in
their zeal to push aglobal-or-nothing agenda, seemunwilling to
examine what alocal-first policy really means.
Consider a procurementmodel that includes in its
deci-sion-making process the value ofa local business that may
havebeen located in the community,paying taxes in that commun-ity.
Should such value not beconsidered a factor in the fiscal
well-being of a community notonly for the bottom line but
alsowith regard to the environment,employment and innovation?
In terms of building healthylocal economies, I am sure Mr.Hirsch
would agree that weve
pretty much maxed outon our traditional reli-ance on revenue
streamssuch as federal govern-
ment transfers and cost develop-ment charges on property
taxes.Just as I can agree that fair taxa-tion should be the goal
for alllevels of government.
So what are the alternatives?Lets take a look at how ourexisting
tax dollars go to work.Some of us believe that maxi-mizing the
multiplier effect ofthose tax dollars creating morerevenue from
consumer spend-ing that stays in the community is a good thing. So
is providingmore opportunities for youngentrepreneurs to stay in
the com-munities where they live so thatthey can develop
innovative,new products at home, ratherthan joining the brain drain
tobigger cities or other countries.We could create additional
rev-enue by promoting programsthat use capital stock in
munici-palities.
We could do leakage analysisin order to find ways to slowdown
the number of dollars thatleave the community. We couldconsider
programs that deal

Is making it easier to gamble a good idea?When word got out that
a Metro
Vancouver woman was suing the pro-vincial government for not
stopping hergambling losses, it provoked a couple ofreactions.
One was laughter at the gallof the woman, who seems indenial
about taking personalresponsibility for her actions.
The second one was shock at just howhigh her losses were.
Joyce Ross managed to blow an esti-mated $330,000 in three years
at two
casinos. She signed up for the voluntaryself-exclusion program
but says she wasstill allowed to gamble and lose, andnow she is
suing.
She is not a professional athlete ormovie star with money
toburn. She is a regular personwho got hopelessly addicted
togambling.
No, we dont think the governmentshould be on the hook for her
losses.
Yes, the government needs to domore to get problem gamblers
help
before they blow everything they haveand more. Obviously, the
self-exclusionprogram has deep flaws that need to befixed.
Then, last Thursday, the provincialgovernment launched a major
expansionof online gambling, making B.C. thefirst in North America
to legalize andregulate online casino games.
The government stayed on messagethis week, saying that B.C.
residentsspend money in illegal, offshore sitesthat offer no
protection. So people here
will be safer now under the new system.And it will mean more
money for healthcare.
Were getting all warm and fuzzy,but there is a cost when you
make it thiseasy for people to gamble. Rememberthe name Joyce Ross
and her $330,000.
Were all for a better, safer system,but problem gambling is a
real issue inthis province.
And a catchy slogan Know yourlimit, play within it isnt enough
toprotect the public.

Will arrogance keep Campbellin the drivers seat?Dear Editor:
Re: Liberals best bet: Carole Taylor?, In MyOpinion, Keith
Baldrey, Burnaby NOW, July 14.
Keith Baldrey indicates that Carole Taylor is apossible
replacement for Gordon Campbell becauseshe disassociated herself
from the current govern-ment.
Problem is, she was a willing member of the for-mer Campbell
government that developed into thecurrent government. Hence, her
hands are not thatpolitically clean.
Ms. Taylor was well-acquainted with Gordon
Campbells political philosophy when he wasmayor of Vancouver,
yet despite that knowledgeshe became one of his star candidates in
the 05election.
By doing so, she supported Campbells personalpolitical plans for
British Columbia.
Will Campbell resign before the 2013 election?To answer that
question you only have to review
his level of inflexibility regarding his drunk
drivingconviction.
It was obvious what course of action he shouldhave taken, but
his interpretation of that convictionrendered it a personal matter,
it was no reasonwhy he should leave the premiers office. That
arro-gant reasoning will once again be repeated.

These ideas are notnew nor are they rocketscience. These
initiativeshave worked in the past,and they continue to
proveeffective in developingnew revenue streams thatcan be nurtured
over theyears. The point is not toalways buy local but tothink
local first.
Do so by giving thelocal business communitythe challenge of
workingwith local consumers, thequid pro quo for their
efforts will always be morecustomers. This is notabout stopping
anything,its about starting some-thing new.
Mr. Hirsch and otherdefenders of the global-ist orthodoxy
promotedby large corporations the presumption thatthere is no
alternative tounfettered global trade would be well advisedto do a
rethink and take alook at whats happeningout there.
For example, if he hap-pened to read MichaelShumans The
Small-MartRevolution: How LocalBusinesses are Beating theGlobal
Competition, or
checked out the BusinessAlliance for Local LivingEconomies,
which rep-resents more than 21,000independent businessmembers
across the U.S.and Canada, he might besurprised to learn
whatsactually working at thelocal level.
He might even findthat his mantra of global,global, global far
frombeing cutting edge or theway of the future is, infact, a tired,
inside-the-boxway of thinking about theeconomy.

Mayors raise badly timedDear Editor:
Re: Mayor gets a raise, Burnaby NOW,July 14.
Times are tough all over. We are alldoing our best effort to
make ends meetin one of the most challenging global eco-nomic
downturns in modern times.
It is not easy, but everyone is being care-ful with their
dollars and doing their best tostay afloat. That is a reality for
most people,but certainly not Burnaby Mayor DerekCorrigan.
Corrigan has dipped his hand deep intothe publics cookie jar and
grabbed himselfan exorbitant 17 per cent pay increase. Hehas voted
himself a new six-figure salarythat puts him into a stratosphere
among thehighest paid municipal politicians.
Corrigan has approved himself an$114,031 salary, retroactive to
Jan. 1 ofthis year. In addition, he gives himself acar allowance of
$10,800 per year and alsoreceives extra pay as a director of
MetroVancouver, including $316 per meetingand double that for
meetings that exceedfour hours.
This comes at the same time as Burnabytaxpayers are having a
property tax increaseof nearly four per cent forced upon
them.Again, they are receiving this increased taxbill in some real
tough times.
Meanwhile, MLAs have opted to freezetheir salaries for the next
two years, whileprovincial cabinet ministers will continue
toreceive 10 per cent less pay until the prov-ince has balanced its
budget.
Corrigan had a choice. He could havevery easily voted down the

consideration for Burnabystaxpayers.
We see Corrigan for the true politician
that he is, one that cares more about hisown personal
taxpayer-funded salary thancaring for the taxpayers themselves.

The power of love lackingDear Editor:
It would be impossible to count thenumber of popular songs that
celebrate thepower of love. Love, it seems, is the perfectsource of
power in the universe. It costsnothing to produce. It doesnt
generateharmful emissions. And it doesnt appear tohave any negative
environmental impacts.
Wouldnt it be great if we could some-how power our homes and
businesses withlove and forget about facing up to all thedifficult
questions surrounding our energyuse such as whether we should burn
coal,dam rivers or even look at nuclear power?
Unfortunately for us, love as a powersource is as elusive as it
can be in affairs ofthe heart. And until we can tap into
sciencefiction energy sources like cold fusion, zeropoint energy
fields and dilithium crystals,were going to have to approach our
diffi-cult energy questions with sober minds andseek out the best,
cleanest power sourcesavailable to us in the here and now.
Fortunately, we are at a technologicalstage in human history
where we can dis-pense with burning coal and gas as powersources.
Wind, run-of-river, bio-mass, geo-thermal, solar and many other
renewableenergy sources are available and they havemore than proven
themselves.
All we need to do is step up the pace andstart putting more of
these green energysources to work because they are the verybest we
have. That is, until we can some-how figure out how to harness the
powerof love.

a second option of placing an incinerator,serving Metro
Vancouver, outside of theregion.
Some of the regional mayors wereconcerned that the provincial
govern-ment would not approve an incineratorwithin Metro
Vancouver.
Environment Minister Barry Pennerwould probably veto a
regionally placedincinerator, Corrigan said.
If he does, he will ignore the sci-ence, he said.
But Corrigan added that MetroVancouver should let Penner be
respon-sible for that call, rather than proposingan incinerator in
Gold River or CacheCreek itself.
The cost implications of sending trashout of the region would be
high, he said.
It is going to be significantly moreexpensive than a local
incinerator,Corrigan said.
None of the regions mayors have saidlandfill would be a better
option than anincinerator, he pointed out, and manycities are
willing to host one, includingBurnaby.
Burnaby already has one incinerator,put in about 20 years ago,
and it has notbeen a problem for the city, Corrigansaid.
Its had a relatively low impact, hesaid in a previous interview.
There havebeen no problems.
He added it has not been a healthhazard.
It is generally an accepted technol-ogy, he said.
Landfills, on the other hand, createlong-term problems and
adversely affectair quality, Corrigan said.
He considers hosting the incinerator aregional
responsibility.
Corrigan thinks it would be best toput the new incinerator on
the south sideof the Fraser River, as the populationthere is
growing rapidly, he said.
On July 8, Vancouver city councilapproved a staff recommendation
askingMetro Vancouver to have an indepen-dent review conducted of
the impact ofmass burn incineration.
Corrigan doesnt think this is neces-sary. Weve been looking at
the issuefor years now, he said, pointing outthat many cities
around the world haveurban incinerators.
The science is pretty clear, headded.
Vancouver is being political and try-ing to adhere to a green
image, Corrigansaid, adding he felt incineration is thegreener
option.
Burnaby city council submitted itsrecommendations regarding the
plan inearly June but did not specify whether itsupported a
waste-to-energy incineratoror a landfill option to deal with
MetroVancouvers trash disposal problems.
Metro Vancouvers board will con-sider the plan on July 30.
It will then go to Penner for finalapproval.

being the lead project planner for the 2010athletes village at
False Creek, said thebuilding will create way more energythan it
needs in the summer and make upfor its deficit of energy in the
winter.
The fact that were on top of a moun-tain and not shaded by any
trees is cer-tainly helpful, he said.
The daycare will also take care of most,but not quite all, of
its water needs inde-pendently.
Water from the sink, also called greywater, will be treated
on-site and sentdirectly to the toilets.
Flushed toilet water, or black water,will then also be treated
and convertedback to a non-drinkable standard.
Through UV filtration, you could actu-ally bring it right back
to potable (drink-able) standards and, if you didnt know,you could
probably drink it just fine, hesaid with a laugh.
Of course, nobody wants to drink water
that came from a toilet, and potable stan-dards are the one
thorn in the projectsside to keep it from being completely
self-sustaining.
The building will be connected to themunicipal potable water
supply becausethe City of Burnaby and Fraser Health willnot allow
us to capture rainwater to usefor potable water, which was the
originalobjective, said Mikkelsen with a touchof regret in his
voice. But we will stillcapture all the rainwater that lands on
thesite and use it.
The non-profit daycare, to be run bythe SFU Childcare Society,
will serve therapidly growing UniverCity complex,a mixed-use
community of single- andmulti-unit dwellings designed to
eventu-ally accommodate 10,000 people.
The project got underway after a briefgroundbreaking ceremony on

Its been more than a year since thedeath of John William Hanna
in Burnaby,and the Burnaby RCMP and the integratedhomicide
investigation team are still look-ing for tips on the unsolved
case.
At 4 a.m. on July 16, 2009, the BurnabyRCMP responded to a call
about shotsbeing fired in the 5600-block of ClintonAvenue. When
officers arrived at thescene, they found a vehicle fully engulfedin
fire.
The Burnaby Fire Department put outthe fire, but police
investigators discov-ered a mans body inside the car.
Over the course of the next few days,nearly 50 officers,
including forensicidentification section members and arson
investigators, were deployed to conduct aground search, proceed
with neighbour-hood inquiries and methodically scour thecrime
scene. Investigators soon identifiedthe body as that of Hanna, a
25-year-oldSurrey resident.
According to IHIT spokesperson Cpl.Dale Carr, Hannas death is
believed tobe targeted and linked to the street-leveldrug
trade.
To shoot and then raze a human bodyby fire is incomprehensible.
We believethat even those in the street-level drugtrade find it
appalling, Carr said.
We hope that this call to the com-munity will prompt the people
that haveinformation to come forward. If personalsafety is a
concern, we can take the stepsto deal with that.
Anyone with information is asked tocall the IHIT tip line at
1-877-551-IHIT(4448). Or, to remain anonymous, callCrimestoppers at
1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

A pro-immigration activist group isplanning a march this
Saturday at CentralPark to demonstrate their disapproval
ofImmigration Minister Jason Kenney andfederal immigration
policies.
Protest organizer HarshaWalia of No One Is Illegal saidthe
Burnaby location was chosenover the Vancouver Art Gallery the site
of choice for many MetroVancouver protests because it isconsidered
to be closer to immi-grant communities most affectedby federal
policies.
Burnaby is a centre for vari-ous immigrant communities, andthis
is in recognition of the fact hispolicies affect a lot of people
whodont actually reside in down-town Vancouver, said Walia, a
writerwho was named by The Vancouver Sun asone of B.C.s 100 most
influential Indo-Canadians. Kenneys policies have beenquite
regressive and quite repressive inways that have been
unprecedented.
According to Citizenship andImmigration Canadas 2009 report,
thenumber of refugees who had their asylumclaims approved has
dropped by 56 percent over the past four years since
theConservatives have been in power.
The Harper government also recentlyimposed new visa requirements
on all vis-itors from Mexico and the Czech Republicto restrict
potential asylum-seekers.
Kenney is currently trying to reformCanadas refugee system
through newlegislation that aims to crack down on
what he referred to as wavesof false asylum claims comingfrom
safe, democratic countries.At the same time, the proposedbill is
intended to speed up theapproval for legitimate claimantsby sorting
out people based ontheir country of origin, a movemany see as
discriminatory.
People should be very con-cerned and come out if they areat all
concerned about equality forall residents, said Walia.
The new legislation would alsoincrease the governments
ability
to prevent foreign criminals those whohave been found guilty of
a crime outsideof Canada from obtaining Canadiancitizenship.
The protest takes place July 24, begin-ning at 2 p.m. near
Patterson SkyTrainstation, and similar protests are also beingheld
the same day in Halifax, Montrealand Toronto.
The Calgary Southeast MP is notexpected to be in attendance.

Opening up options for operaDramatic flair: Burnaby soprano
Julie Duerichen sings the role of Elvira in Opera Pro Cantantis
production of I Puritani byBellini. The opera company was built on
the concept that operatic performing opportunities should be
available to singers.

LIVELY CITYJanaya Fuller-Evans
Canadas only repertory opera company,located in Vancouver, will
host its 100thperformance this weekend.
And Burnaby soprano Julie Duerichenwill be one of the singers
featured at thegala concert.
Duerichen, who lives with her husbandand four children in
Burnaby, started per-forming with Opera Pro Cantanti at
thebeginning.
Duerichen met the companys artisticdirector, RichardWilliams, at
a sing-throughof Rigoletto with the Opera Appassionata inVancouver
in 2006. They sang throughas the lead baritone and soprano
roles,Rigoletto and Gilda.
It was exciting to sing through themusic together and feel the
scope of thiswonderful opera, even with no audience,she wrote in an
e-mail. Afterwards, wegot talking and said, We should just do
aperformance of this sometime.
A couple of months later, Williams con-tacted her and told her,
Were going to doit. Rigoletto is going to happen.
They started rehearsals in January 2007and performed it fully
staged at the end ofFebruary.
Opera Pro Cantanti has grown fromthere, based on the concept
that operatic
performing opportunities should be avail-able to singers.
The Lower Mainland desperatelyneeds OPC, Duerichen wrote. Local
sing-ers usually dont get hired for roles withVancouver Opera, so
where does that leavethem? There is so much rejection in theopera
world, not because singers arent
good enough, but because there just arentenough venues to sing
in.
Duerichen has an extensive performingbackground, receiving a
masters degreein music, and she has performed as a solo-ist with
local orchestras. She has also sungchorus with companies, like
Calgary Operaand Washington Opera, and has studiedand performed in
Germany.
Her favourite role so far was playingElvira in Vincenzo Bellinis
I Puritani.
It fits my voice so perfectly, Duerichensaid. And the music is
heavenly.
Duerichen will be singing Qui la voce vien diletto from I
Puritani at the galaconcert.
(Its) one of the most difficult pieces Iveever sung, she
said.
She will be playing Violetto in La Traviatathis fall, with her
husband, Paul Duerichen,playing the male lead.
Paul, a tenor who has a background insinging with barbershop
groups, did nothave any opera experience before he joinedOpera Pro
Cantanti.
But he studied with Williams, whohelped him open up the depth of
his voice,he said.
He also didnt listen to much operabefore joining the company but
said thiswas only because he didnt understand itwhen he was
younger.
It is something I listen to now all thetime, he said.
What a voice, said Williams of Paul,

Opera: Venture for the singersadding hes a natural opera singer.
Hespulling it off.
Opera Pro Cantanti is a 30-membervolunteer-driven effort only
the pianoplayer, Roger Parton, the musical accom-paniment, gets
paid which Williamsstrives to keep financially self-sufficient.
Williams refuses to register the com-pany as a non-profit, as he
says it is tooeasy for artistic directors to lose contactwith the
finances.
He wants the company to be self-sus-taining.
Three things differentiate Pro Cantantifrom other opera
companies, beyond the
financial and volunteer aspects.The company performs more than
one
opera at a time during the season, puttingon three or four at a
given time.
And Williams firmly believes in mini-mal direction for his cast,
allowing them toexpress themselves artistically as well.
He is running Pro Cantanti as a venturefor the singers
first.
This is for us, it is for the singers,Williams said.
The 100th performance gala concert isat Vancouvers Cambrian
Hall, at 215 East17th Ave., on Sunday, July 25.
Tickets are $25. The box office opens at6:30, and the show

Question:I have yellow stuff drop-
ping all over my car, my tileddeck, my kitchen skylightand my
white siding. Itdoesnt wipe off and has tobe removed with a
scrubbingbrush. This has been going onfor a few months, and I
cantkeep on top of the cleaning.The environmental depart-ment at
city hall reckoned itwas bee droppings, but thereare hardly any
bees here.What I cant understand isthat my neighbour hardly hasany
at all.
Joadey Caldwell,by e-mail
Answer:This problem happens
when aphids infest thetrees and excrete a stickysubstance that
falls to the
ground.Theres probably an
aphid-filled tree close toyour house.
Your neighbour doesnthave the same troublebecause the offending
treeis outside your house, nothers.
Locally, Ive comeacross this as a problemmainly on birches
andlirodendrons (tulip trees),but any tree badly infestedwith
aphids creates a simi-lar situation.
If the tree is not enor-mously tall, you could tryblasting the
aphids withwater from a hose. Oncetheyve fallen out of thetree,
they dont usuallyclimb back again.
Ladybugs, lacewingsand parasitic wasps allfeed on aphids, but
some-times an infestation is toomassive for natural preda-tors to
make a difference.
There are organicsprays against aphids ingarden centres, but
spray-ing even a small treewould be hugely expen-
sive and you might haveto do it more than once.
Question:We replanted our own
raspberry bed last year andenjoyed great berries. Thisyear the
berries are extremelysmall. I suspect lack of wateris the cause.
When is thecritical time to ensure enoughwater for maximum size
ber-ries? Any other ideas for amiserable crop?
Nancy McAskill,by e-mail
Answer:Its very likely lack of
water is the cause andif you have water restric-tions, youll
need to makedecisions about whichplants can wait a few daysfor
water and which cant.
The critical time forwatering any food cropis when the crop
starts toform. With raspberries,this is when little greenberries
start appearing.Then water either everyday or as often as you
canuntil the crop is harvested.After that, the raspberry
plants can be allowed toget somewhat dry, thoughnot to the point
they wilt.
Manure or composthelps to produce fat ber-ries, but for
moistureretention, Ive found grassclippings mulch a hugehelp. Some
gardenersdry clippings first before
spreading them and pullback the mulch slightlyfrom stems aiming
toprevent fungal disease orrotting.
This is helpful for someplants, but Ive not foundit necessary
for raspber-ries.
Raspberries can get
viral diseases that makeberries small.
But since you had agood crop last year, Idadvise you to try
mulchingfirst.
