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.

Burnabys own Kenny Blues BossWayne will play the Hiltons Reflect Social

Dining and Lounge onThursday and Friday from7 to 11 p.m.

Both hotels are offeringspecial blues festival roompackages, which includetwo festival tickets, for

Aug. 13 and 14.Tourism Burnaby is offering a chance

to win a weekend getaway at the HiltonVancouver Metrotown for four, whichincludes tickets to the festival and theBurnaby VillageMuseum, as well as a $300gift card for Metropolis at Metrotown.

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.

with import substitutionto reduce, for example,our reliance on producethats been flown in fromanother hemisphere.

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 increase, butinstead he chose to put his own personalgain ahead of 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.

Harry Bloy, Burnaby-Lougheed MLA

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.


Garbage: Mayor backs plans forincineration of regions waste

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 Thursdayand, if all goes according to plan, will beopen and ready for playtime by September2011.

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. Visithttp://noii-van.resist.ca for more.

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 starts at 7 p.m.

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.
