New Westminster is set to kick offconsultation about a professional soc-cer proposal for the city.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC and theCity of New Westminster recentlysigned a memorandum of understand-ing toward launching a United SoccerLeagues (USL) pro franchise in theRoyal City.
“We are thrilled to announceour efforts with the City of NewWestminster to bring a new profes-sional soccer team to its vibrant sports-and family-oriented community,” saidclub president Bob Lenarduzzi.
Lenarduzzi said a USL PRO fran-chise is an important step in the club’sefforts to support the development ofplayers. While the Whitecaps are “veryexcited” about the prospect of bringingthe team to New Westminster, he saidother cities are also interested in host-ing the team.
If the project proceeds, Queen’sPark Stadium would be the franchise’shome field.
The City of New Westminster willbe holding its first consultation meet-ing on Tuesday, July 29 at CentennialLodge in Queen’s Park from 7 to 9p.m. The open house will begin at 7p.m. and the Whitecaps will make apresentation at 7:30 p.m., followed bya discussion about the proposal.

Saturday, Aug. 9 from 11 a.m. to1 p.m. at Centennial CommunityCentre. It will also include anopen house, presentation by theWhitecaps and a discussion periodfollowing the presentation.
In addition to the currentWhitecaps FC ownership group,the franchise will be co-ownedand operated by Ian Gillespie ofWestbank Projects Corp. and NewWestminster native Gary Pooni ofBrook Pooni Associates.
Pooni said he couldn’t bemore thrilled that the VancouverWhitecaps FC want to invest inNew West.
“People who know me wellknow I am incredibly passionateabout my hometown and that Iwould only get involved with agroup that had the best interests ofthe city at heart,” he said. “I thinkthat there’s incredible opportunityfor New Westminster in this proj-ect.”
Pooni, who attended JohnRobson Elementary School andNew Westminster Secondary,played soccer with the Royal CityYouth Soccer Club for many years.When he graduated from highschool, he received a scholarshipfrom the Vancouver 86ers, whichpaid for his first year of tuition atuniversity.
“My whole first year tuition atSimon Fraser was paid by them,”he said. “I’d always been eter-nally grateful because they helpedchange my life. Coming from aworking class family, it wasn’tgoing to be easy – my sister hadgone to university and my brotherwas about to go to university andI was starting.”
Pooni, a longtime supporter andseason-ticket holder, has becomefriends with some people connect-ed to the Whitecaps through theyears. A conversation with one ofthose friends centred around theneed to invest in young soccer
players aged 18 to 22 and citiesthat may be interested in hostinga franchise.
Pooni, who recalls playing soc-cer and watching Whitecaps campsin Queen’s Park Stadium, immedi-ately thought of New Westminster.Aside from its central location inMetro Vancouver, he said NewWest shares the same communityand national pride that’s part ofsoccer.
“When you think of NewWestminster being a multicutur-ally diverse city. You look at itscentral location in the region, youlook at the incredible communitypride New Westminster has inanything that is Royal City relat-ed,” he said. “On top of that, youhave a city hall that is community-friendly and business-friendly. Allof those elements combined was aperfect combination in my mindto become a home for a Whitecapsentity.”
Pooni is co-chair of the Cityof New Westminster’s 2014 eco-nomic forum, Invest New West.He believes a pro soccer franchisewould be a tremendous asset forthe city.
“Of course, there are somethings we are going to have towork on with the communitywhen it comes to game day,” hesaid. “But when you look at thehistoric use of the stadium and theevents that have occurred thereover the several-decade-long his-tory of the stadium, it has been asports and recreation hub for thecity. It has been a cultural andcommunity hub for the city, per-haps even the region, given thehistory of it. When you look atother smaller international foot-ball stadiums and soccer facilities,the game of soccer at its root isabout community. This is a com-munity use, it would be a commu-nity game.”
Lenarduzzi called Pooni the“driving force” who brought the
Whitecaps and the city together.“I think it would be incredible
for the youth in our city. I thinkit puts New Westminster on themap from an economic perspec-tive. It’s a fabulous opportunityfor local businesses to capitalizeand flourish, and establish into apartnership with everything thatwe are trying to do,” Pooni said.
“On top of that, I can’t think ofa better community partner thanthe Whitecaps’ organization. Theymade 400 appearances last yearin local communities. Anywherewhere they have been involved,they become a part of the commu-nity. That really is the spirit of com-munity soccer. That is the visionthe Whitecaps have for this.”

I want to talk abouthow we can build a smarter, moreresilient city, and I want to talk about

Royal City residents will have morechances to get out and vote in the 2014civic election.

When B.C. residents go to the pollson Saturday, Nov. 15, they will be electingmayors, councillors and school trustees fora four-year term, an increase from threeyears.
Not wasting any timeCoun. Jonathan Cote wasted no time
kicking his mayoralty campaign into highgear.
Within hours of Cote’s June 18announcement that he would be runningfor mayor, he launched an Instagramaccount, unveiled Cote for Mayor buttonsand took to social media to spread the
word. Cote has also been spotted aroundtown with supporters wearing matchingcampaign shirts.
Cote is the first candidate to announcehis plans to run for mayor in the Novemberelection. Incumbent mayor Wayne Wrightis currently vacationing in Australia andexpected to announce in September wheth-er he’ll be seeking re-election.
Williams in the race againCoun. Lorrie Williams has confirmed
she’ll be seeking re-election in November’smunicipal election.
Williams said she’s “quite happy beinga councillor” and has no aspirations tobe mayor. She’d like to be re-elected toanother term so she can work on the newanimal shelter and see the Wait For Me,Daddy project through to completion.
With her council colleague JonathanCote running for mayor, and incumbentMayor Wayne Wright yet to announce hisplans, Williams has some time to decide

The little bits of rain we received thisweek might have dampened a few sum-mer spirits in the Lower Mainland, butthey were a godsend in places wherethey lowered the forest wildfire risklevels.
Where the risks werereduced at all, the respite islikely to be temporary.
Hot weather – and increas-ing wildfire risks with it – is expected toreturn by the weekend.
Indeed, fire officials expect thatareas in which the wildfire risk levels
have been “high” will likely join the“extreme” classification before long.
Don’t let this week’s glitch fool you,the expectations are still for an unusu-ally dry summer.
With that in mind, andthe propensity for BritishColumbians to get out andenjoy the natural beauty thatsurrounds us, the protectors of
the province’s forests and wilderness areasking everyone to be careful, and to bevigilant.
That’s not a plea only to local resi-
dents planning to get out into the wilds,but also to the thousands who flockto this province every weekend andthrough the week.
Whether you live here and takeadvantage of the natural amenities inyour own backyard, or if you’re drop-ping by from elsewhere for some funand relaxation in the great – and we real-ly mean GREAT – outdoors, take carethat it isn’t ruined for future hikers andboaters and nature enthusiasts.
It doesn’t take a great deal of careless-ness to spark a huge wildfire.
We’re seeing evidence of that inWest Kelowna and in other parts of theprovince, where it’s not just beauty andwildlife that are being destroyed, butthousands of people’s homes are beingput in jeopardy, as well.
If you see smoke while you’re outthere, do not hesitate to call B.C.’sWildfire Management Branch at 1-800-663-5555 (or *5555 from a cellphone).
And try not to create any of thatsmoke yourself.
Our province’s natural beautydepends on you.
Teacher buyoutscould save millions
We’ve almost forgottenabout the B.C. teach-ers’ strike, as it’s faded
from our minds like a bad smell.But you can only spray on somuch odour-masking gunkbefore it comes back, so let’s talkabout ending the darn strike!
I have ideas about ways tosave the province a little moneyand help out young teachers atthe same time. You say I have noexpertise in education or publicpolicy? That is true. On the otherhand, I could literally not doworse than the people who areactually negotiating right now.
No, really. They’re competingto see who can toss out the stu-pidest ideas.
The government has gonequiet on their most egregioussuggestion: “Big classes are goodfor kids!” Yeah, like back in the1930s! Having one teacher and aroomful of 50 students is a greatformula for success. Let’s scrapall computer classes while we’reat it, who needs modernity?
The teachers have been quitereasonable on wage demands,dipping a couple of times. Andthen they asked for $225 milliona year for a “workload fund” tohire more teachers. Considering
the government already hatesthe teachers (and the feeling ismutual) that seems more likewaving a red flag in front of afiscally conservative bull.
Opponents of the teachersare painting them as wealthy fatcats. We’re to imagine teacherslazily dismissing their studentsat 3 p.m. so they can race tothe country club in their jewel-encrusted Porsches, mink stoleswhipping in the wind.
The reality is that teach-ers’ pay in B.C. starts as lowas $38,000 and change a year.Which is not to be sneered at,but they also top out at justover $70,000. B.C. MLAs startat $101,000 a year. There is nominimum education requirementto become an MLA; teachersrequire years of university.
While room to manoeuvrebetween the lower and higherend of the teacher pay scale maynot be massive, it does suggestat least a partial solution to acouple of problems facing theprovince.
Right now, the governmentwould like to save money, whichis all well and good. And teach-ers in B.C. would like to havejobs, preferably full-time ones.
Which brings us to the sec-ond problem beyond mere cash– there are a lot of unemployedand underemployed teachersin B.C. There are 69,400 peoplewith valid teaching certificatesin B.C., and just 30,101 full-timeequivalent jobs in the schoolsystem.
OUR VIEWTHE RECORD
Celebrate on 12th StreetDear Editor:
The revitalization of 12th Street has been difficultbut, so far, successful and is really taking hold.
Creative policing in partnership with the BurnabyRCMP, an aggressive anti-graffiti program andFraserside’s “I’s on the Street” program have allcontributed to clean and safe streets. This createsbusiness confidence, which reduces vacancies andgenerates positive economic activity for our com-munity.
A new meat processor and deli, a home interiordesign consultant and a decorative lighting store aresome of the unique shops that have opened in thelast year, and many more shops are opening soon.
The Save-On-Foods 12th Street Music Festivalis another way of bringing attention to our busi-ness community by enticing visitors to the area sothey can discover the charm of New Westminster’s
most affordable business district. With communitypartners such as Save-On-Foods, The Record, MattBrabbins Remax Advantage and Key West Fordmaking significant monetary contributions towardsthis event, we would, however, not be able to makethis happen without the many other sponsors andthe City of New Westminster’s in kind services andlogistics coordination.
There is a significant payback to a communitywhen you fix your broken windows. Come and cel-ebrate our progress with us this Sunday as we hostthe biggest 12th Street Music Festival yet.
Four entertainment stages, over 100 vendors anddisplays, a petting zoo, free children’s activitiesand entertainers, a water feature and thousands ofcalories to consume along the way will ensure thatthis day will be fun and memorable for the wholefamily.

New West not playing niceDear Editor:
Re: New West loses the Bailey bridgebattle, The Record, July 4.
New Westminster Coun. Bill Harpersays that Coquitlam has “destroyed therelationship” between the two communi-ties by winning an arbitration over theBailey bridge. This is the second timeCoquitlam has had to take legal actionin about a decade and the second timeCoquitlam has won.
New Westminster needs to start work-ing with its neighbours on transporta-tion solutions that are regional. Imagine ifevery community put up barriers so traffichad to go around their city. If there is onecommunity that isn’t playing well with itsneighbours, it’s New Westminster.
The arbitrator ruled in favour of a two-lane bridge, instead of the ridiculous one-lane Bailey bridge that has allowed alter-nating traffic for the past 20 years. Harpercalled that decision “a complete disaster.”Coun. Harper, the earthquake in Haiti wasa disaster. Last year’s $8-billion flood inCalgary was a disaster. A two-lane bridgeconnecting two truck routes? That’s not adisaster, it’s a no-brainer.
Thank you, Coquitlam, for advocatingfor workable regional transportation.
Teri Towner, Coquitlam
Dear Education MinisterDear Editor:
An open letter to Education MinisterPeter Fassbender:
I am copying you on an email that I sentto my Member of the Legislative Assembly.I implore you to be a powerful problemsolver for the sake of the children of BritishColumbia. I realize that most situations arecomplex, as I am sure the teachers’ labourdispute is; however, I am disappointed inyou and your government’s position andleadership on this issue.
Class size and composition are realproblems that need to be addressed. It wasa problem before you came to power, so
you are not responsible for the creation ofthis problem. I would appreciate a changeof policy or position on your government’spart so our children can get what theydeserve – a decent learning environment.
My vote is tied to this issue, and manyof my friends, family and colleagues feelthat we can see through the spin in themedia. Please know that I am not on theside of the teachers but rather on the sideof the children in classrooms that are notconducive to learning. I cannot emphasizeenough that this is a moral issue that willdefine your legacy as a leader.
Imagine yourself looking back on yourlife and knowing you played your part inrestoring a healthy and productive learn-ing environment for thousands and thou-sands of children. What an opportunityyou have.
Michael Bouchard(second letter copied)
Hello Ms. Darcy,Thank you for your willingness to serve
as a representative of the people. I imaginethat this is a difficult challenge and haveheard nothing but great comments aboutthe job you are doing.
I am also writing to express my dis-appointment in the political leadershiparound the teachers’ strike. The Ministerof Education needs to be an inspiring fig-ure for teachers, not a political figureheadfor contract negotiations. I am angeredby the lack of awareness the governmenthas around class size and composition. Iwant my child’s teacher to have a reason-able working environment. I want specialneeds children in my child’s classroomwith the proper support. I am willing topay higher taxes if need be for this to hap-pen. I would also suggest that the balancebetween health-care spending and educa-tion is not ideal.
I appreciate that it is difficult to gethealth-care spending under control; how-ever, this will be an essential objective toaccomplish if we are to have the publicmoney required to properly educate ourchildren.
Michael Bouchard, New Westminster
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
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.
About two to threetimes as many teachers aretrained every year as thereare jobs.
Many teachers, bothat the end of their careersand at the beginning,job share or stay on theteacher on-call lists assubstitutes. This is notso great for new teacherstrying to get a foot in thedoor – some of them onlywork four hours a week inclassrooms.
So, if the provincewants to reduce its bills,why not offer the senior
teachers buyouts? Offer afull year’s salary and ben-efits to teachers who aremaking more than $65,000.Some of them must bethinking of early retire-ment. Nudge ’em out at 60instead of 65.
Obviously, a buyoutlike this is an investment.It’ll cost you money inyour first year.
But this is the govern-ment we’re talking about,they borrow in bulk andthey have the lowest inter-est rates around. And aconservative back-of-the-envelope calculation sug-
gests if you can convincejust 100 teachers making$65,000 or up to take thedeal, over five years theprovince saves more than$6 million.
As I mentioned, it willgo at least partway to deal-ing with the vast numberof expensively educatedproto-teachers who arecurrently using their fouror five years of universityeducation to make nicelattes.

make his announcementearly so he can spend thesummer listening to votersfrom the different neigh-bourhoods and learningmore about their concerns.
“I think being coy aboutyour intention changes theconversation, so I want toget cards on the table andlet people know what myintentions are and have thatconversation,” he said. “Iam going to be door-knock-ing, I am going to be goingto events, and I am goingto be all over the socialmedia. I have a couple ofcreative ideas about howI can engage people betterthat I think I will be rollingout over the summer.”
Johnstone, who hasreceived an endorsementfrom the New WestminsterandDistrictLabourCouncil,works as an environmental
coordinator in the City ofRichmond, something hebelieves will be an asset asa councillor.
“The advantage is I havean understanding of howcity hall works from theother side of the counciltable,” he said. “In NewWestminster, I have beenvery active in the publicdoing volunteer work, andI have interacted a lot. Ihave been a delegation atcouncil a lot of times andhad those conversations,but it’s interesting to alsobe on the other side, to beon the staff side and seewhat works and doesn’twork inside city hall.”
Johnstone has volun-teered on several city advi-sory committees, includingthe emergency advisorycommittee and bicycle andpedestrian advisory com-mittee.
“I think the timing isright for me to take mycommunity volunteeringin this new direction,” hesaid.
Johnstone is a direc-tor of New WestminsterEnvironmental Partners,the Royal City Curling Cluband the Brow of the HillResidents’ Association. As a“rabble-rouser,” Johnstoneshares his thoughts onmany local issues on hisblog, New Westminster – InMy Back Yard.
“I am a communicatorand want to continue com-municating first as a can-didate and ultimately asa councillor,” he said. “Iwant to help create strongchannels of communicationso residents are heard at thecouncil table and residentsbetter understand how andwhy council makes deci-sions.”

whom she’ll support.“I think he (Cote) would make a brilliant
mayor,” said Williams, who will throw hersupport behind a candidate at a later date.“Let me reserve judgment right now. I’dlove to endorse them both. If it comesdown to it, I will make a choice.”
To date, Cote is the only person whohas announced plans to run for mayor.
Get set for four-year termsWhen voters head to the polls in
November, they’ll be making an extracommitment to their elected officials.
The province has changed local elec-tions from a three-year to a four-yearcycle beginning with the 2014 election.Following the Nov. 15, 2014 election,British Columbians won’t return to thepolls until October 2018 to elect mayors,councillors and school trustees.
Coun. Lorrie Williams, who once pro-posed a move to four-year terms at the
Union of B.C. Municipalities’ convention,believes it makes financial sense.
“(Elections) are very expensive for thecandidates, and it is very expensive for thecity,” she said. “From a financial point ofview it is a good decision.”
The city spent about $140,000 on the2008 civic election and budgeted about$200,000 for the 2011 election. This year’sbudget includes $220,000 for the civic elec-tion.
“I think it’s a lot more cost effectivefrom an election point of view,” said Coun.Jonathan Cote. “It puts us in line withwhat municipalities do all across Canada,but it also gives councils an opportunity toreally implement a longer term vision andhave the time to work at it.”
In addition to four-year terms, civicelections will move from November toOctober in future years, something munic-ipalities believe will encourage more voterturnout.

A group of New West seniors wasenjoying a dinner out when a random actof kindness made the night even better.
Sharon Bard, a driver with the SeniorsServices Society’s Dining Club, said about20 seniors attended a recent dinner atGino’s Place.
“It’s a four-course meal, and it coststhe people $10 a piece,” she said of theweekly dinner at the Sapperton eatery.“They treat us like gold there.”
Sapperton resident Emily Crawfordwas sitting at one end of the table whenshe started chatting with a man in therestaurant.
“I always sit at the end of the table. Hestarted talking to me. He said, ‘what isthis?,’” Crawford said about the gather-ing. “I said, ‘You have to be 90 or olderto sit here.’ He said ‘My mother was 102and she just passed away. … My motheris going to be here right at that tablebecause I am going to buy your meal.’”
With that, the man pulled out cash andpaid for all of the seniors’ dinners – on thecondition that the money they’d put in forthe Dining Club would be returned.
“Everybody’s $10 bills went back tothem, right in front of this guy,” Bardsaid. “Sure enough, he went up and paidfor everybody’s meal. Then on top of that,he gave a very generous tip for the wait-resses. Then he slipped away. We were alljust shocked. It was lovely.”
Money is tight for some seniors, Bardsaid, so $10 can make a big difference intheir budgets. One senior said the ran-dom act of kindness allowed her to attendanother Dining Club event.
Although random acts of kindness andfree meals aren’t the norm, Bard said theDining Club is a great program offered bythe Seniors Services Society. The programruns year-round.
“It’s a very social thing,” she said.“You are getting out to be social, and youare getting a really good deal at a restau-rant that is local in your neighbourhood.It runs three nights a week.”
The purpose of the Dining Club is toprovide a social outing for those whomay eat alone, and to provide a venuefor clients to enjoy a nutritious meal at areasonable price.
“It’s a really, really wonderful thing,”Bard said. “It’s a very special group.”
Each Tuesday, Wednesday andThursday, the Seniors Services Society’swheelchair-equipped bus picks upseniors and drives them to that day’srestaurant.
“I enjoy the company of everybody,”Crawford said of the Dining Club. “It’sgetting out, and I don’t have to cook.”
A volunteer is on hand to help out on
the bus and collect money for the day’sdinner, which varies depending on therestaurant du jour.
“We go right to your house, we willpick everybody up and then we go to therestaurant,” Bard said. “They are respon-sible for the cost of the meal – they willknow in advance what it is. It changes atdifferent places.”
Anna Truong, the society’s manag-er of resource development, said theDining Club goes to many local restau-rants, including the Waffle House, Chan’sGarden, Cockney Kings, Go Thai andSixth Street Grill. In some cases, the nightout is a flat rate for the ride, meals and
taxes, but in other cases seniors orderoff the menu and pay for whatever theyorder.
“We have tried things like sushi,” shesaid. “It didn’t go over so well.”
In addition to the Dining Club, theSeniors Services Society also offers aLunch Club on Fridays.
“Our programs are really gearedtoward seniors who are lower income,”said Truong “Our programs are fairlyaffordable.”
Anyone wanting more informationabout the Dining Club can call the SeniorsServices Society at 604-520-6621.

Stories of travellingentertainers in earlyNew Westminster are
always popular, and wehave featured many suchaccounts in this columnover the years. There havebeen musical shows, theat-rical presentations, andvaudeville troupes, alongwith many other occasionsfor the community to gath-er to take in a show.
In many cases, we havebeen able to discuss thefeatured person, providingbackground informationon his or her life, wherethey performed, how exten-sively they travelled, andhow broadly their famegrew or perhaps, precededthem. Recently we cameacross a new entertainer forour Royal City files – witha performance that appearsto have been quite differ-ent.
“Professor Vertelli”brought his act to New
Westminster in the fallof 1882 for three showsin the roller skating rink.While the advertisementdoesn’t outline the entiretroupe, we do learn thatthe “Professor” was accom-panied by John Carter, “thecoloured comedian.”
We were able, througha site on the history ofmagic acts, to find out thathe was born John Morcomand performed around theworld as a tightrope walkerand trapeze performer, amagician, an astrologer anda card reader. He appearsto have started in Australia,moved on to China andthen Japan where he hada strong influence in itscountry’s magic history.
After this he moved tothe United States, workingout of San Francisco. Whileworking there he touredextensively for about 20years, and we can assumethat it was during that timethat he travelled to B.C.
The advertisement pro-moting his show describedhim as a “great ventrilo-quist and magician” who,along with John Carter, wasto present three shows. Ateach show, the notice says,“100 Japanese presents”would be given away, but
we do not learn any moredetails regarding what thismeant. Admission was 50cents for adults and halfthat for children.
There is an additionalaspect to these shows thatis quite intriguing in thatit adds an entertainmentfeature to this early com-munity, one that we haven’tcome across before. The adstates that there was to be“tight rope walking acrossthe street at 7 o’clock.”
This is fascinating in thatat 7 p.m. in November itwould have been dark, andin 1882 the local lightingwould have been oil lamps,gas lanterns, Chinese lan-terns, and the like.
We are not given anyother information, so wecan all use our imagina-tions as to what took placeand what it looked like.In all likelihood this hap-pened in the 400 block ofColumbia Street.
We read in the paper:“Vertelli – the Professorgave one of his entertain-ments on Thursday even-ing and one last night tocrowded houses; his lastentertainment will be giventonight. He … astonishesthe natives. Johnny Carteris an excellent comedian.”

Spunky* was here in 2013 aserher mats were shaved off shewent back to her Mom & Broat an autowreckers in Surrey.Aser her protector friend quitworking there and moved she
disappeared for about 8 months. She ended up atthe Surrey Animal Centre as a stray, totally mauedbut otherwise okay so they shaved her and sheis back at the shelter safe and sound. Our liulediamond in the ruff, very sweet but totally cmid.
Momo is a very friendly withhumans and a great companion.He would rarely go on your lap,but he would sit next to you forhours. He�s very noble and hascompassionate sweet eyes. He
could be very playful and gets along well with othercats. Momo is curious, loves auencon, and is a verysweet guy! He�s a very gentle giant who needs apeaceful home, he - just not babies or toddlers.
Mee Mee* came to RCHS asershe was abandoned by herpeople. There was an infectedgrowth on her back paw toe sothe toe was amputated. MeeMee is a sweet, gentle old cat
who just loves to sit on a warm lap and spend cmewith you. Mee Mee has Hyperthyroid Disease sowill need medicacon for the rest of her days.
With summer comes the arrival of
two bothersome and potencally lethal
pests: eas and ccks.
For each ea found on your cat,
there may be scores developing from
unseen eggs within your own home.
Besides being itchy, ea bites can
cause your cat medical problems
including ea-allergic dermaccs,
tapeworms, hair loss due to excessive
scratching, and secondary skin
irritacons. An infestacon can cause
anemia in kiuens, which, if severe
enough, can even kill them. Because
cats are self-groomers, many owners
mistakenly assume if they can�t see
any eas, there aren�t any eas. But
the signs will be there: persistent
scratching, bald patches, scabs or red,
sore areas.
A cck is a fairly common parasite
known for embedding itself in the skin
of pets and people alike. A single cck
has the potencal to pass on mulcple
diseases. When biuen, the skin of
some cats may become red and
irritated around the site, while others
may not even nocce the parasite. It
is imperacve then, that, whether you
own an outdoors or an indoors cat,
you inspect yours thoroughly anycme
you return from an area known for
ccks.
Should you nd a cck, remove it
very carefully, making certain that
the mouthparts are removed as
well. If les behind, they can abscess
and cause infeccon. Kill the cck
by placing it in a zip-lock bag and
pouring rubbing alcohol over it. For
the hesitant owner, there are special
cck removal devices available, while
the squeamish can have their vet
remove the cck instead.
For both these pests, there are
numerous products on the market
including spot-on liquids, oral
medicacons, shampoos, collars,
powders and sprays. But, as always,
consciencous cat owners should
consult their vets about the safest
and most effeccve product to use.
Since eliminacng an exiscng ea
or cck problem is, quite osen, too
liule, too late, the only truly effeccve
solucon is PREVENTION.
Chase (le>) Bakgp q Awgprt�v Byddha{ Mrk was found taking himselffor a walk! He�s excitable but eager to learn and needs a family thatcan teach him all those cool tricks like Stay, Off, Down. Liule kids oranimals probably aren�t a good idea as he�s a bit clumsy and jumpy.Daisy (right) C�vg Capfa M�fer|| Mrk is 1-1/2 years old and isenergecc and looking for a breed experienced home. She needs
a stable environment where she will receive good leadership and posicve-based training. She might behappiest as the only dog in her new home. Older children or no children would be best as she is a big dogwhich might knock over a small child. NOT suitable for off-leash dog parks, etc. Sorry, no cats either. Pleasecontact the NewWestminster Animal Shelter at 604 519 2008 for addi\onal informa\on on these twolovely dogs.
Harra is a big and beaucful divawho couldn�t cope with theshelter environment and wasplaced in a foster home. She hasretained her diva personality andnicky eacng habits and now
at age four is quite set in her ways. She is friendlywhen she feels like it but don�t bother trying tomake a lap cat out of this one! She�d prefer to be anonly cat, and no dogs or children need apply!
Pippin (le>) was found with Piper. She is quiet, soulful and likes to sitand observe. Loves messages and being brushed! Very playful andmore outgoing with a cat companion. Her favourite pascme iswatching the birds. Blue-eyed beauty, Piper (right), at six monthsold, was living outside with Pippin. He will be cmid at rst but veryaffecconate when he discovers that he can trust you. Piper needs a
companion cat. He talks to his toys and carries them around in his mouth. He requiressome canned food for the water content to keep his �plumbing� system in good order. His favorite treat isunsalted popcorn. These two are inseparable and will only be adopted together. Indoor only home.
Francine* is very sweet, cmidcat. She was rescued from anindustrial yard and has madegreat progress overcomingsome of her fears since shecame to us. Francine has been
at the shelter a long cme and may take quite awhile to adjust to a new home. But with enoughlove and pacence, she may be able to adjust. Bestfor a quiet home.
NOTE: Cats marked * are special needs.Contact RCHS for further details.

Champion itching for a fightEvelyn Calado holds
the B.C., Western Canadianand Canadian nationalGolden Gloves women’ssuper flyweight boxingtitle belts, but has yet toeven raise a glove.
The 24-year-old NorthBurnaby fighter has wonall three women’s 48-kilogram boxing titles bywalkover, which meansshe has been unchallengedin the championship bouts.But Calado, nicknamedLil’ ‘e’vl, by her handlerswants all that to change.
Next week, Caladotravels to Kansas City inthe hopes of getting insome real competitionat the Ringside WorldChampionships, whichstart on Monday.
“You can’t train thatconsistently and at thathigh level and not com-pete,” she said. “Rightnow, it’s all about theexperience. It’s all aboutme getting the ring timeI want and improving. Iwant to be the Canadianchampion and get on thenational team, but I wantto fight to get there.”
Calado lives in Burnabyand trains with veter-an Scotty Jackson at theQueensborough BoxingClub in Queen’s Park.
A former roommatetook her to an all-wom-en’s boxing class in EastVancouver five years agoand Calado’s been pursu-ing the “sweet science”ever since.
“I fell in love with it. Ihad never done anythingthat was so physicallydemanding,” said Calado,who stands 5-1 and a shadeover 100 pounds.
A year later, the formerBCIT student stepped into
the ring for her first officialfight in an exhibition boutagainst the reigning pro-vincial champion.
Calado has had approx-imately 10 fights, mostlyexhibition bouts, and allagainst boxers bigger andheavier than herself. Infact, she has never foughtanyone from her ownweight class yet.
That is why travellingto Kansas City for the larg-est amateur boxing tour-nament in the world is so
important to her.“I want to gauge where
I’m at at 106 (pounds),”Calado said. “That’s whyit’s so important to gothere and find someone tofight.”
With a record of 2-4, sheis hardly raising any eye-brows, but she believes inher handlers who like hertechnical ability and hardpunch.
“I know that poundfor pound I hit extremelyhard. You have to be con-
fident in this sport. I’mconfident in my skills thatI won’t get hit. I’ve neverbeen hurt and never beenknocked down.”
Calado uses her quickfootwork, a persistent jaband combinations to over-power her opponents.
But finding the rightopponent is costing thestudent/athlete moremoney than anticipated.
Calado shelled out$1,300 from her own pocketto go to this year’s Golden
Gloves. She expects herbill in Kansas City willmatch that.
Calado works outanywhere from six to 10times per week, combiningmorning strength or cardioworkouts with afternoonsparring sessions. Whenshe’s in school, Caladomaintains a 3.90 gradepoint average.
“It’s a full-time job,” shesaid. “I work very hard at

Brett Dobray followedup with the eventual game-winner off a wicked under-hand tally off a screen.Dobray led all scorerswith three goals and threeassists.
Josh Byrne opened thescoring at 6:17 of the firstperiod on his first of fourgoals. Byrne also fired anatural hat trick early inthe middle period that gavethe home team a 7-4 lead.
That advantage dwin-dled to a single goal fol-lowing two goals by EliMcLaughlin that closed theperiod. McLaughlin, whowas loaned to New Westfor last season’s playoffrun, then scored his hat-trick goal early in the thirdto give the A’s a temporary8-7 lead.
But Ross Bowman, whohelped his cause by scoringhis first junior A goal intoan empty net late in thegame, was solid in goal,particularly in the final per-iod, stopping 33 shots forthe win.
“(Coquitlam) is a greatteam, but they showedus areas we have toimprove on,” said first-year Salmonbellie MitchMacAulay, who scored hisfirst goal of the playoffs ona first-period breakaway.“It was really back andforth, but in the end we gotit done.
