Census offers view of change New portrait of family life emerges

By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Experts say a jump in same-sex couples counted in Metro Vancouver in the latest census likely reflects society’s growing acceptance of gay marriage since Canada legalized it in 2005.

The 2011 census counted 6,425 same-

sex couples in Metro Vancouver — 1.2 %of all Metro couples — a jump of more than 2,200 from 2006.

Urban Futures dem o g r a p h e r R ya n Berlin suggested gay couples are now more likely to disclose their relationship than they were in 2006.

“In the seven years since [gay marriage was legalized] there’s a lot more acceptance and understanding,” he said. see YOUNG, page 8

More beds for Eagle Ridge Hospital to play a bigger rehabilitation role in the region

By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Eagle Ridge Hospital is stepping up its role in the region as new beds are introduced to help emergency patients get admitted to a bed more quickly.

The Port Moody hospital will grow by 22 new permanent acute care beds, while 12 existing sub-acute beds will be upgraded to form a new 34-bed acute general medicine unit. The changes should decrease the amount of time

patients wait to be admitted from emergency, reduce the number of patients being cared for in non-clinical areas, like hallways, and provide better patient care.

“We’re so excited,” said Valerie Spurrell, ERH executive director. “This doubles the number of acute medical beds we have.”

The ongoing master site planning process for Eagle Ridge has shown there was a need for additional acute care capacity, Spurrell added, making the new changes a step in the right direction.

In addition, patients recovering from strokes or brain, spinal and other serious injuries will be cared for in an expanded regional rehab unit.

Nine beds will move from Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH) while an existing nine Patient Assessment and Transition to Home (PATH) beds at Eagle Ridge will be converted to rehab beds, creating an 18-bed regional rehab unit.

Thirty PATH beds will remain at Eagle Ridge, which is enough to serve both the TriCities and New Westminster.

The changes are also expected to create new job opportunities at Eagle Ridge for nurses, doctors and support workers, said Spurrell, with postings going online this week and plans for an open house next week to attract interested local applicants. see CHANGES, page 14

Stay calm, focus: this is just an emergency rescue

By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

The most important thing is to stay calm, focused.

Concentrate, because bad things happen when you get distracted near a machine with two rapidly spinning rotors.

That can be hard to do, however, when that helicopter isn’t some far-off blip in the sky. When it’s close enough to touch, the noise of the engine is near deafening. Those spinning blades — awfully close for something so deadly — whip up a wind so fierce that the only way to stay upright is to crouch down, low to the ground, while dirt and grass and gravel are swirling and churning all around you.

Communication is through a firm hand on the shoulder, and a quick signal that it’s time to leave the relative safety of the ground and get even closer to the hovering helicopter, and to clamber into it.

Gently, that is. A helicopter may be big and powerful, but it’s surprisingly easy to push around when it’s off the ground.

“The helicopter raises everyone’s level of awareness,” said Ian MacDonald, the Coquitlam Search and Rescue (SAR) member taking a group of about 30 SAR volunteers through a helicopter safety demonstration at Eagle Mountain Park last Saturday morning.

“It’s loud, it’s moving, it’s

yellow. There are so many cases of experienced guys walking into a tail rotor...so move with a purpose. Move with a plan,” MacDonald said.

“Take your time, get your gear,” added Talon Helicopters pilot Derek Riendeau. “When people forget things, that’s when things go squirrelly.”

The helicopter demonstration — getting in and out of a hovering chopper safely — kicked off a morning of training for Coquitlam SAR volunteers that also included the first demo by the newly minted Helicopter External Transportation System (HETS) crew.

Eleven SAR members are now certified to use the technique, in which a rescuer is

suspended from the chopper, transported to a small opening in the forest canopy and lowered down to retrieve an injured and/or lost hiker.

Saturday’s annual training session and demonstration was the culmination of a twoyear process of detailed cost analysis, fundraising and training for the SAR crew’s HETS certification, said Dwight Yochim, Coquitlam SAR manager.

With increasing development in the Tri-Cities comes more people venturing into the trails dotting the mountains now in their back yards, as well as hikers who have covered the North Shore mountains and are looking for new adventures.

“We’ve seen over a period

Who pays for EMErGENcy rEscuE?

Emergency services rendered by Coquitlam Search and Rescue, including medical transportation via helicopter is paid for by Emergency Management BC through taxes.

Since all members of SAR teams are volunteers, the cost to taxpayers for search and rescue is low. For instance, in 2004, the total cost for all ground and inland water search and rescues was $1.3 million for 933 searches. Volunteers rescued just over 1,000 people, including lost hunters, children, elderly people with varying forms of dementia, snowmobilers and hikers.

More information can be found on the website www. pep.bc.ca of the past six to seven years we’re starting to use HETS more and more,” said Bill Papoose, the HETS committee chair. “People are getting into more remote...and var-

Toll stickers snapped up Toll system registration off to strong start

By Jeff Nagel BlaCk Press

Nearly 30,000 people registered to use the new tolled Port Mann Bridge in just the first two days of sign-ups, surprising project officials.

The early surge already puts the electronic tolling system 10 % of the way to its target of 300,000 registered users by the end of February.

“We’re very pleased that we’ve had the response we have had so far,” Port Mann/Highway 1 project communications director Max Logan said.“It’s a terrific start for us.”

The province wants regular bridge users to sign up and get the TReO windshield decal that is automatically and efficiently detected without the more costly use of licence plate cameras and manual image checks that will be used to invoice non-registered vehicles.

Officials also think the more drivers who register and use the system, the more will embrace the tolled Port Mann and not clog other routes to reach an untolled bridge.

As an incentive, halfprice tolls — $1.50 for

regular cars instead of $3 — apply for a full year for those who register before March 1, when the three-month discount period for all expires and non-registered users start paying full price.

A further incentive gives 20 free crossings to those who sign up before Nov. 30.

Logan expects many more users to register as those two deadlines near.

“Our goal is to have 80 to 85 % of our regular users registered,” Logan said.

The new Port Mann officially opens sometime in December with a free week before tolling begins. TReO system registration opened Sept. 17 at www.treo.ca.

Logan said many drivers may not be aware yet of how the system works, that it costs nothing to register and get a decal and that it will also give them the lowest available toll when using TransLink’s Golden Ears Bridge.

Asked how many drivers who don’t register might escape paying, Logan said the licence plate recognition system has an accuracy rate of more than 95 % but manual reviews of images should bring the enforcement rate to 99 %.

That makes 3 — Wilson jumps into the ring

By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

An Olympic wrestler from Coquitlam wants to tussle in a new ring: politics.

Yesterday, longtime c o m m u n i t y vo l u n teer Chris Wilson announced he had filed papers on Wednesday with the BC NDP to run for nomination in Coquitlam-Burke Mountain — a riding currently held by BC Liberal MLA Doug Horne.

Wilson joins D.O.A.

frontman Joe Keithley and Barrie Lynch, a former Coquitlam city councillor, in the race.

I n a n i n - WILSON terview with The Tri-City News T h u r s d a y, Wi l s o n said he has been a party member for a month; previously, he was a BC Liberal and supported Dennis Marsden’s nomination to run as MLA for CoquitlamMaillardville — the

fare against his challengers, the first-time candidate said, “I don’t have the experience that Barrie has but I do have a considerable amount of community activism on things like homelessness, Rotary and KidSport. I’m extremely passionate about making a difference in my community.”

Wilson can be contacted via chris4coquitlam.ca or chris4coquitlam@gmail.com.

No nomination date has been set for the

contest.

• Meanwhile, the BC NDP in Port MoodyCoquitlam — a riding held by former PoMo mayor Joe Trasolini — will hold its annual general meeting on Oct. 1.

The gathering will take place at 7:30 p.m. at Moody middle school (3115 St. Johns St.). Members and non-members are welcome; however, only members will have voting privileges. Trasolini is the guest speaker. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Ennis: not a ‘bogeyman’ but still dangerous Friends, family react to parole decision

IN QUOTES

“When he speaks, it’s not the voice that you’d expect a monster to have.”

By Kathy Michaels Black Press

The man behind one of Canada’s most notorious mass murders will remain behind bars. But for friends and family of the slain Westbank and Port Coquitlam residents, the denial of parole for David Ennis wasn’t a cause for celebration.

Tuesday, the National Parole Board determined that Ennis is still a risk to society after 30 years of incarceration, and not ready for release from Bowden prison in Calgary .

Ennis, who was known by the name David Shearing when he murdered six members of the Johnson and Bentley families in 1982, expressed regret and “shame” about his crimes, but was told he’d have to take programs aimed at rehabilitating violent sex offenders if he’s to gain release at his next hearing, which could be as early as two years from now.

Although the verdict was what the families were expecting, many felt exhausted by the end of the hearing. “It was a very emotionally draining day, but there was a huge sigh of relief at the end,” said Tammy Arishenkoff, a childhood friend of one of the girls that Ennis sexually assaulted and killed, and a driving force behind the most recent effort to keep him behind bars.

Tuesday, the National Parole Board determined that David Ennis, formerly David Shearling, who killed members of a Port Coquitlam and Westbank family, is still a risk to society after 30 years of incarceration. attended the hearing, and were escorted to a chapel on the prison grounds where it took place.

Arishenkoff, one of several people who read a victim impact statement Tuesday, has said that Ennis’ violent act forever changed the way she and many other Westbank residents saw the world, and she dreaded seeing him in person.

What she imagined and actually experienced, however, were t wo ve ry d i f f e r e n t things.

“It’s almost surreal.

For 30 years we’ve had

this picture of him, which came from that same file footage of him from 30 years ago…

That man with black hair and a big nose,” she said.

He still has the big nose, she said, but he’s 53 years old, so he wears the time that’s passed and he doesn’t have all the earmarks a childhood bogeyman man.

“When he speaks, it’s not the voice that you’d expect a monster to have. He sounds like a soft-spoken, normal person,” she said.

“And it was surreal seeing him do normal gestures, like scratching

his arms. I kept thinking, these are the hands that brutally killed six people, these are the hands that did horrible, awful things to my friend and her sister.”

Arishenkoff said she and the family also found it difficult to listen to him answer questions about the crime he committed all those years ago.

“It was tough to hear some of the things he said about the girls,” she said. “He had to speak about them quite a bit and he would say some things that would lead you to think he’s a risk in certain situations.”

M o v i n g f o r wa r d , Arishenkoff said she’s more resolved to lobby for changes in legislation that will cut off the number of parole hearings people like Ennis get while in prison.

In August 1982 members of three generations of the Johnson a n d B e n t l ey f a m i lies — George and Edith Bentley of Port Coquitlam, their daughter Jackie Johnson and her husband, Bob, of Westbank and their two daughters, 13-year-old Janet and 11-year-old Karen — were camping in Wells Gray Provincial Park.

Ennis stalked them for at least two days before he went to the

campsite and shot the four adults so that he could kidnap the two young girls.

Over the next few days Ennis kept the girls hostage and sexually assaulted Janet. He killed them as well, loaded all the bodies into one of the family’s vehicles and torched it in a secluded area of the park.

Their remains were discovered on Sept. 13, 1982. It was another 14 months before investigators tracked down Ennis.

In 1984 Ennis pleaded guilty to six counts of second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.

For the record

In an article in Wednesday’s Tr i - C i t y N e w s (“Austin Heights is facing changes,” page 1), it was incorrectly reported that Joe Sulmona was selling two properties for the Ledingham McAllister development on Charland Avenue in Coquitlam.

In fact, Sulmona owns the two lots directly west of the proposed site for the 88-unit apartment block.

He said the numbers still show same-sex couples are rare — just one% of B.C. relationships.

New bridge the world’s widest

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

Hundreds of workers were on the bridge deck last Thursday for an appreciation barbecue that also marked the Port Mann’s inclusion in the Guinness Book of World

Records as the world’s widest bridge. At just over 65 m wide, the Port Mann easily beat the record held by the 48.8 m Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia.

Meanwhile, the first week of the new bridge in December will be toll- free.

The Golden Ears Bridge offered a month of free crossings before its full-priced tolls kicked in 2009, and use of it has fallen short of forecasts ever since — something the province wants to avoid with the new Port Mann.

Buy a one month pass for only $47.72 (plus tax) and have unlimited use of the aquatic facilities and fitness centres.

■ WHAT WE THINK:

t’s so close, one can almost feel the thrill of whooshing across the Port Mann Bridge on one of 10 lanes that will open on the new bridge in another year.

But for now, drivers are getting a sneak peak of three lanes that opened this week and in December another five will open in advance of full bridge operation.

It’s a very slow phasing in of a project which has been on budget and on time but there is a lot of work still to be done. This weekend drivers are being warned away from the construction zone around Cape Horn to allow key work to continue.

For those who can see the future through the construction dust, this is a good time to sign up for a tolling account as early birds are expected to get a $30 discount, the equivalent of 20 free crossings.

While nobody likes tolls or closed freeways, this early introductory rate may prove to be worth it for people who will cross the bridge regularly.

Time to say thanks to all volunteer coaches AS I SEE IT Diane Strandberg The week of Sept. 15-22 is B.C. Coaches Week.

C

oaches are unsung heroes who deserve more than a simple week of recognition.

I say this largely because my kids have been taught by coaches so patient and thoughtful I nearly cried when they changed sports — and because I coached t-ball myself and barely survived the trauma. (Think of five-year-olds swinging bats within an arm’s length of one another and you get the picture.)

There is no way to thank the coaches for all their dedication: the soccer coach who turns up in a hailstorm carrying a string bag of balls and a ready smile; the baseball coach who huffs in frustration when a player shows up late for practice and then

gives him an “attaboy” when he slides into first base; the football coach who practically single-handedly revives a moribund high school football program and unites a community around it (that’s Farhan Lalji, my son’s coach in New Westminster).

The kids, of course, come in all shapes and sizes, and all have to be treated with (more or less) equal consideration. Some arrive on the soccer pitch with only a few words of English and can barely stay steady on cleats, yet coaches make sure they get an equal share of playtime.

It is tempting to keep the best pitcher on the mound or the best striker on the field but coaches know the job needs to be shared. Parents sometimes forget this when they stand on the sidelines and criticize a coach for either not playing their own son or daughter more often or for giving a lessskilled player more game time.

Games are supposed to be about player development, not the win, even at the higher levels, where competition is tough and it’s

more acceptable to keep the better players on the field. I was reminded of the importance of this recently by a coach who was filming my younger son’s football game. I had made the mistake of being overly enthusiastic about the team’s outstanding winning streak and had to be brought down a notch or too.

There is always room for improvement, I was told, even after a string of wins. Doubly so after a string of losses.

Coaching, too, could always be improved.

I’ve seen more than one coach dress down a young player when a more sensitive approach would have done the job. The best coaches know how to inspire in the dressing room or during practice and don’t yell and humiliate players from the sidelines during the heat of competition.

But the truth is that coaches have a tough job and it has been getting tougher. They face a gauntlet of angry parents, blistering politics, painful bureaucracy, fundraising and criminal record-check hassles, concus-

sion forms and medical alerts, and, increasingly, media storms about bad members of their brethren.

Yes, there are coaches who step out of bounds, who abuse their power and act like the children they are supposed to teach.

Fortunately, these individuals — many of them born in an era when coaches were allknowing and god-like — are few and quickly brought to justice by alert parents and sport authorities.

In B.C., sport associations have made a concerted effort to provide excellent training for coaches and, in Port Coquitlam, coach development is expected to be part of a sports excellence centre at the new Pitt River middle school.

With so many children in sports, the need for volunteer coaches is great and there is never enough opportunity to say thanks.

Given a chance, I’d be the first to sign a card of gratitude for all my kids’ coaches.

Got a felt pen, anyone?

FACE TO FACE: What services should our cities provide?

No arts or rec programs I

magine that you were responsible for organizing the government of a brand new city. What services would your government provide?

Our little debate this week isn’t just a pie the ski scenario — it has some real life real-life linkages.

Over the next number of decades, for a variety of reasons, government expenditures will rise at astronomical rates. At some point, we (in the collective sense) will need to need to make some decisions about what services government can afford to offer.

It’s already happened in other jurisdictions.

Last Fall, in Toronto, Mayor Rob Ford ordered a core services review in response to a $774 million operating deficit. Accounting firm KPMG was hired to review each of the city’s services and started by identifying each service as essential, traditional or other.

That’s where we need to start in our new fictitious city.

I think we can all agree that services such as fire and policing are essential for public safety while things such as waterworks, roadworks, planning and licensing are critical city responsibilities.

All other non-essential services, however, should only be offered if they meet one of two criteria:

Active

TransporTaTion Live a lifestyle that keeps you fit. consider your bike for local trips.

• A large number of people use the public amenity • Taxpayers (through city governments) realize considerable savings as a result of economies of scale Garbage pick-up and transit are two examples that meet both criteria.

My city government would then examine the role and necessity of all non-essential services and funding for capital assets, festivals, arts, and sports programs.

Do enough people use them?

Is there monetary and societal benefit of city-owned ice rinks, for example, compared to privately run facilities? Why, in another example, does the city of Coquitlam operate a gym at the Sports and Leisure Centre when there are already several private gyms in the region?

Both sports and arts are important for youth development, but I would suggest those things aren’t the responsibility of local government. They should be the responsibility of parents, schools, and nonprofit groups.

Cities should focus on core services that are essential or provide a net benefit to the majority of residents.

One thing is for sure, my city’s property taxes — and therefore rents — will be a lot lower than those of my colleague.

othing’s certain but death and taxes. The death part isn’t negotiable, but what about the taxes part?

If we began from square one, with no city services in place, without pre-conceptions or established dependencies, not knowing our future economic standing, could we agree on what basic services a city government should provide?

Some things are no-brainers.

Most of us would agree we have to pay for services in public safety, firefighting, roads, bridges, and sidewalks. And surely we would need to pay for clean water, sewerage and drainage, lighting, and traffic control.

But what about building and operating libraries; and a body to organize and build parks, oversee recreation, cultural activities, arts festivals, and special events?

What about some of us to oversee schools, and environmental concerns?

Would we need experts to develop and maintain a city plan and land use guidelines, and to establish regulations for building codes and business operations?

Do we want to pay taxes for these things? I do. I think so.

I’m sure I’ve missed some things, but it’s the kind of list we’d prob-

School District #43 (Coquitlam) Notice of Disposition of Property The Board of Education of School District No. 43 (Coquitlam) is proposing to create 8 single family residential lots along the Como Lake Avenue frontage of Parkland Elementary and 9 single family lots along the Grover Avenue frontage of Porter Street Elementary. The lots will represent between 12% and 15% of these school properties. The lots will be sold at market value with all proceeds used to benefit School District No. 43 (Coquitlam). Locally generated revenue is to be used for capital improvements at these and other District schools. These funds are intended to supplement, not replace, the funding provided by the provincial Ministry of Education.

Two Open Houses will be held:

Parkland Elementary: Wed, Sept. 26, 6:00 to 8:00 pm Porter Street Elementary: Thurs., Sept 27, 6:00 to 8:00 pm These Open Houses are intended to provide information and to seek input. School District trustees and officials will be in attendance. The decision regarding the proposed dispositions will be considered at the November 6, 2012 Board of Education meeting.

There is also an opportunity to provide input to the District regarding this proposal through either a questionnaire available at the School District office or on-line at www.sd43.bc.ca to be returned or sent by October 5th.

ably arrive at if we sat down and hashed out what we want from a city government; and it’s very close to what our city government does now.

It’s easy to complain about paying taxes — and it’s so tempting to argue for a la carte taxation. I don’t have a dog; I shouldn’t pay for dog runs. I have no children; I shouldn’t pay for public schools. I don’t go to Festival Du Bois; my taxes shouldn’t support it. I don’t use libraries — you get the idea.

But city government is about meeting our collective needs — needs that trump individual preferences and hobbyhorse issues.

Sure, there may be too many managers, off-leash dog runs and arts festivals, but our city government is, in structure and service, much like what we might re-design were we to start from scratch — because that’s how it developed in the first place.

Calls to privatize public services to save money makes private profit the goal of public service and I don’t want to give my tax money to private business owners with poorly-paid workers.

But there I go complaining, because nothing’s certain but death and arguing about taxes.

Above: More than 1,300 students, staff and teachers at Coquitlam’s Dr. Charles Best secondary ran or walked through Mundy Park yesterday as part of the annual Terry Fox School Run. The event, held a week before the Terry Fox Foundation’s National School Run Day on Sept.

27, saw Bill Vigars, left, — Fox’s publicist during his Marathon of Hope — speak to the assembly about the Port Coquitlam hero’s 1980 journey to raise money for cancer research. Vigars said Fox, who trained for his cross-country adventure in the Tri-Cities including at the Best sports field, was embarrassed by the glory but was proud to be named Canadian Athlete of the Year before he died in 1981 at the age of 22.

Fraser Health notes the changes at Eagle Ridge will create centralized, focused units that should speed recovery time. Previously, the 12 sub-acute beds at Eagle Ridge were mixed with PATH beds, while the rehab beds were split between sites.

Also changing at the PoMo hospital will be the closure of the 25bed Transitional Care Unit (TCU).

TCUs were a temporary measure for patients who no longer need to be in hospital but were waiting for a residential care bed.

Those patients will now be transferred to residential care facilities directly from PATH or medicine units.

Fraser Health spokesperson Roy Thorpe-Dorward said an expression of interest for those additional local residential care beds will be issued shortly.

Overall, the expansion at Eagle Ridge will allow the hospital to “play a more important role in the regional health care system,” Thorpe-Dorward said.

The new acute care beds and regional rehab beds will be phased in as renovations are completed and new staff members are hired, starting at the end of this month.

The additional capacity is expected to be ready in November.

BURKE CHANGES

By Janis Warren

Plans to add a new residential subdivision on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain got the okay from city council this week.

Following a public hearing on Monday, council granted final reading to rezone and change the OCP for 1440 Dayton St. — a vacant 1.14-acre lot located in the Smiling Creek neighbourhood — for five homes and a townhouse, which will be occupied by the longtime landowners, David and Nola Menzies.

The property is split

by Wa t k i n s C r e e k ; however, under the bid

by Infinity Properties, the streamside protection area would remain privately owned, according to a city report.

The Tri-CiTy News

A proposed public art piece for the new City Centre library branch has rubbed some Coquitlam politicians the wrong way.

On Monday, council agreed to a $35,000 provincial government grant for an art project that, according to city staff, will be designed to “examine issues of racism, diversity, integration and inclusion.”

As well, the art is intended to “explore how the Coquitlam community can become more welcoming and inclusive.”

The project, which is expected to kick off next month, will involve the chosen artist working with ideas and images from community workshops; the final work will be on display, likely next fall, in the branch foyer.

Coun. Terry O’Neill cautioned council, saying the artwork could amount to “propaganda” — that is, having an influence on its viewers — while councillors Mae Reid and Lou Sekora said they’d like to see a drawing before anything is formally created. “This is a public building,” Reid said.

But Coun. Selina Robinson, a public art champion, said she has “complete faith in the community and the artist. This is community engagement at its heart... to provide comment and critical thinking.”

Robinson cited the $250,000 wind and s o u n d s t r u c t u r e at Mackin Park, which she said has generated “interesting comments” since it was installed two years ago along Brunette Avenue in Maillardville.

Sekora voted against the city accepting the government grant.

M ov i e - g o e r s m ay soon be sipping beer, wine or a cocktail while at Coquitlam’s SilverCity theatres.

City council on Monday backed the bid

by Famous Players to have a liquor-primary licence for its VIP lounge and its five adjoining cinemas that are cordoned off for adults.

Council made its decision following a public consultation last month. Of the 10 submissions, four were in favour of the new licence while six opposed it because of the theatre’s proximity to other licensed establishments, concerns with serving booze in a place frequented by

SEkora families, and potential nuisance from intoxicated patrons.

The licence application is now with the provincial Liquor Control and Licensing Branch.

The only heritage church in Coquitlam is about to go modern.

RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act.

Smile

Carol Lange

Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, November 19, 2012 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, February 18, 2013.

The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the Province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Initiative Advertising: Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising.

Cops set out on 900-km cycle

By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Students at Scott Creek middle school got a boisterous start to their day on Wednesday in Coquitlam, when they cheered on the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast team as they set off on their nine-day, 900-km journey to raise money for pediatric cancer research.

Students have been gear-

ing up for the event since their spring service activities, said principal Rob Foot.

“We ask them to do things like cutting lawns, babysitting and donate the money,” Foot said. The fundraising drive culminates with the school’s annual Crunch Classic.

At the Cops for Cancer start, school board chair Melissa Hyndes praised the kids for their hard work in raising $5,300 — the most in the district.

The Tour de Coast riders include four Coquitlam RCMP members and one officer from the Port Moody Police.

Junior team members were also there to cheer on the officers, including 14-yearold Caleb Macey, a fiveyear survivor of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

“It helps to know that people want to make a difference,” said the Riverside secondary student.

Fall2012

Come see our best collections from Europe.....including

NOMADIC CHIC Joseph Ribkoff takes us on a journey this fall with its signature dresses in global-inspired prints and colors. Dressing the modern-day woman in effortless style with easy-to-care-for dresses and separates is the key to its success.

As with the brand itself, the ‘joie de vivre’ sentiment of Fall 2012 resonates with all women who are active and mobile, who cherish the ease and the promise of the brand to provide instant allure.

Signature jersey-wrap and draped dresses abound with form-flattering silhouettes accentuate and hide in all the right places. While leather accents and zipper details add elements of trend, color and sheen assure stylishness and fashion spirit.

FEMME FATALE For the femme fatale in all of us, these styles help us expose our innate nature through body-contouring dresses.

Taking its cue from trends including leather accents and black panel inserts, the season’s best styles have a smart, athletic-ish yet feminine edge.

ARTIC OUTLOOK Explore the season’s colors by travelling through a northern-inspired color palette of artic blues, glacier opals and turquoise, grounded by tundra rich browns and charcoal greys.

Layering and swathing long-line tunics, short biker-inspired jacket styles in relaxed, cozy easy-moving fabrics make up mix-and-match separates.

GLOBAL GLAMOUR The four corners of the earth inspire a walk-in fall wardrobe for global appeal. Dresses are key in a bevy of universal-inspired prints and patterns that are bold, artistic, on-trend and fit-to-flash.

Flattering hemlines and draped details in easy-to-wear fabrics are the essential for the woman who adopts a bohemian modern-day style.

1001 & 1 NIGHTS Dark nights bold colors...fall evenings are warmed up with elegant silhouettes sculpted in gem hues. Adding sheen exemplifies the sparkle at any special occasion.

We’ll give you a smile you’re proud of!

Looking forward to those replenishing rains green scene Elaine Golds Celebrate Rivers Day on Sept.

30 in B.C.

T

he last Sunday in September marks World Rivers Day with events scheduled around B.C.,including a number in the Tri-Cities area. Started in 1980

by Mark Angelo from BCIT when he organized a garbage cleanup on the Thompson River, what came to be called BC Rivers Day has been celebrated since 2005 as World Rivers Day. Whenever I stand on the bank of a river, I can’t help but ponder where its waters have come from, the life it sustains and, yes, the pollution that is likely being carried downstream to unknown destinations. Rivers are truly critical for all life on earth and, like many people, I have always been drawn to them regardless of whether they are tiny trickling streams or awesome rivers with roiling waters.

Right now our wonderful weather, seemingly stalled in late August mode, is posing a challenge for the survival of young salmon in urban streams.

Without rains to replenish them, most of these streams are now suffering from much diminished flows. This poses an especially difficult time for young coho which must find deeper pools of water where they can safely hold until the rains arrive. This late summer dry period, so typical of weather patterns on this coast, is the main reason some of our urban salmon streams do not support coho salmon.

Coho require water year-round because they spend their first year in fresh water streams.

In this regard, chum salmon are much better adapted for streams that are prone to drying during the summer as young chum immediately swim downstream to salt water when they emerge from the gravel in the spring.

I have always thought the Coquitlam River, the last major river to enter the magnificent Fraser before

The Coquitlam River runs high during a water release by BC Hydro. When the rains return, creeks and rivers will return to their normal level, making life easier for fish. it discharges into the Salish Sea, is a perfect example of the essential role that rivers play in our lives. The flow in the Coquitlam River is partitioned among several important uses.

For approximately a century, some of its waters have been diverted into a tunnel which flows into Buntzen Lake and is used by BC Hydro to generate the electricity which lights our homes, pow-

ers industry and heats our meals. We also rely on the Coquitlam River as one of the three main sources of drinking water in Metro Vancouver. And, of course, we use this “drinking” water for many purposes including cooking, cleaning, watering our lawns, supplying businesses and flushing our wastes to sewage plants.

Below Coquitlam Lake where a dam

has raised the level of the Lake, the lower Coquitlam River now flows as a mere fraction of its former self but it remains a beautiful river which slowly transforms from a boulder-strewn stream near the Patricia Street pedestrian bridge in Port Coquitlam to a meandering river through Colony Farm Regional Park. Along the way, the river provides a beautiful backdrop to

Proof:

our community. The forested areas along the river provide critical wildlife habitat and contain delightful trails enjoyed by thousands of people. Right now, our continuing demands for drinking water are drawing down the water level in the Coquitlam Lake. However, we can rest assured that the changing season will eventually bring rains to replenish our lakes, refill our streams, recharge ground water and provide spawning habitat for adult salmon.

I have just returned from a month-long trip to Peru where I was reminded of how lucky we are to live in a place where the rains fall on such a reliable basis and keep us supplied with ample amounts of water. Peru’s capital city, Lima, is in a much more precarious situation. Lima, a city of over 8 million people, is located on the coastal desert where rain seldom falls. For many years, the city obtained drinking water from the Rimac River which flows from glaciers in the Central Cordillera of the high

Andes. Sadly, the Rimac River is now mostly a dry stream bed more full of garbage than water where it once flowed through Lima.

With the onset of global warming, the glaciers which supplied the Rimac are disappearing at a shocking rate.

Engineers in Lima are scrambling to construct tunnels through mountains and build dams to augment their vanishing water supply; these are costly (and hazardous) solutions for a poor and earthquake-prone country.

So, I have to admit, as much as I enjoy the sunshine, once the fall rains arrive, like the salmon in the streams, I will be rejoicing at the return of our rainy season with its abundance of water and the renewal of life in our streams which it will bring. Surely, it’s a blessing to be living in a rain forest.

Save time The new 10-lane bridge is twice the size of the old one, which will reduce congestion and save you time – you could cut your drive in half. Less idling also means less money spent at the gas pump, with some drivers saving up to a litre in fuel each day. A series of interchanges and overpass improvements provide faster, safer travel to and from the highway. With less congestion and more reliability, you’ll be able to better predict how long your drive will take and make sure you arrive on time.

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy NewS

A Port Moody nurse and a graphic artist are teaming up to promote a simple safety idea they hope will go viral.

Claire Lawrence and Andrea Bruhns have started The Dots and Dashes Safety Company to promote the use of highly reflective stickers, which are easy to use, waterproof and durable and can be applied to most surfaces, including umbrellas, back packs, strollers, jackets, boots and helmets.

They glow so brightly when reflected by car headlights that kids are easy to see, even when they step off curbs at dusk, making youngsters much safer as they head back to school and sports activities in the waning days of summer and fall.

But Lawrence and Bruhns aren’t just marketing them to parents, they want the entire community to adopt the Dots and Dashes’ “Reflect Yourself” mantra” and have come up with a unique marketing strategy to get their message out.

“We want people to put them on everyone in their family,” explained Lawrence, adding that she’d like to see grandma and grandpa putting them on their clothes, walking canes, and other mobility aids, and mom and dad wearing them on their jogging clothes and other outerwear.

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Claire Lawrence and Lea Bruhns show all the uses for Dots and Dashes reflective tape. their product at last weeks Port Moody Safety Fair and have started a website and other social media.

However, their biggest campaign is being launched via YouTube wit h a well- filmed video produced by two Port Moody secondary school students, Sara Lynn Bruhns, 15, and Sepehre Mahoob,18.

“We want everybody to give these out and convince others to be safe,” explained Bruhns, whose younger daughter, Lea, 8, is featured in the video.

Lea is the “The Hero” who slaps stickers on loved ones and anyone else who might be walking or riding in the dark or a dull day without reflective clothing.

Bruhns, who is from Germany, said reflective material comes standard with most outerwear in her native country and she is surprised the simple safety measure hasn’t been adopted in

Canada.

It’s a safety measure that takes just seconds to use, said Lawrence, a former street nurse who has seen too many people in emergency rooms suffering from injuries that could have been avoided if they were more easily seen by drivers.

“Yes, drivers need to be attentive and aware, but pedestrians need to take some responsibility for being visible,”she said.

The reflective tape comes in many different sizes and is sold in cardboard packages affixed with the Dots and Dashes logo. The packages sell for about $5 and Lawrence and Bruhns would like to see them sold by schools as fundraisers. A sample and letters will be going to schools throughout School District 43.

Local Olympians among Living Books at library H u m a n books will be available for checkout at Coquitlam Public Library next weekend as part of the Living Library proGLAESSER gram.

The Living Library offers up experts on a variety of topics for one-toone conversations that last between 20 and 30 minutes in a private, informal setting.

The program has been in operation for the last four years and encourages people to probe beneath the surface and learn about living, breathing people, rather than dwelling on stereotypes pushed by the media or one’s personal bias.

Living books are generally experts in a given subject who are prepared to share their knowledge of fascinating topics.

Some have had interesting or challenging life experiences while other are people who may be misunderstood or underestimated

based on occupational, racial, religious or lifestyle labels.

Past participants include Eileen Mohan, whose son Christopher was one of the innocent victims of the Surrey Six murders. Nasima Nastoh, who son committed suicide by jumping off the Pattulo Bridge because he was bullied in school, was also a living book.

The Living Library will take place on Sept.

29 between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Poirier Library.

Living books include: • Imaad Ali — Muslim community leader; • Marianne Berkey — archaeologist and Douglas College alumna; • Amy Candido — eating disorders and peer support worker at Kelty Menal Health Resources Centre; • Jasmin Glaesser — bronze medalist as part of Canada’s women’s cycling team in the 2012 Summer Olympics;

A book club for kids The Port Moody Library will be hosting a Kids Book Club this fall for students in grades 5 to 7.

Get a greater understanding of how to explore the characters in the books and take a more in-depth look at the time period and setting of each story.

Club members will read two books during each sixweek session and do some fun activities related to the stories. Book club members will also become more confident speaking and ex-

pressing your thoughts in a group setting. Snacks will be provided.

The Kids Book Club will meet on alternate Thursdays between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. in the ParkLane Room from Oct. 4 to Dec. 13. Space is limited. Registration begins on September 6 and forms can be picked up at the library or downloaded at www.library.portmoody.ca.

Those good old school days YOUR HISTORY Jill Cook

IN QUOTES

Times might have been simpler in 1912 but our human emotional complexities were as present then as they are today.

Dress code for teachers, slates and the rod

B

ack to school — it wasn’t ever thus.

School supply panic, stylized back packs and trendy new clothes, iPads and egadgets…going back to school a hundred years ago was a little less expensive and a lot more low key. The two essential supplies were a slate tablet and pencil; fancy add-ons like crayons (first introduced in 1903), and perhaps ink and new nibs for the dip pens might be required.

Paper was very scarce.

The big purchase was shoes. Lillian Picton Emerton (b1908) says ”We always had shoes to start school, and then we went barefoot all summer. Then when we started school in the fall, we jammed our feet back into our shoes again. All summer we never put a pair of shoes on”(Coquitlam 100 Years, p. 32). The cost of shoes 100 years ago was between 50 cents and $1. The good news is they were genuine leather. Teachers were paid a whopping sum of $50 month and were expected to sweep and scrub the floor as well as light the fire while wearing no less than two petticoats and a drab dress; bright colours were forbidden (Rules for Female Teachers, 1915).

From the student’s perspective, getting to school could be hard work. Lillian’s route was up a trail through a bush and over Dawes hill which was quite a climb. This was the way to Millside School (King Edward and Brunette) from her home which was located close to what was to become Riverview. Some students were trucked to Millside (two huge rooms c1922) from the Fraser Mills site (King Edward at the Fraser River), notably the children from the Oriental village which was a separate community at the mill site. Many walked up to three miles each way and mothers took careful note of their transit time (dawdling was frowned upon — chores were waiting).

The curriculum was pretty simple: basic reading, arithmetic, writing, singing and some sewing for the girls.

Sometimes the children would play basketball or pick-up softball in the yard at Millside School.

There were no sports teams and even the recreational playing was restricted. Why? Because children were needed to

The early days of Millside school — today Millside school is host to an Inquiry Hub, where students do their work on laptops. At the turn of the century, students wrote on slates. help out at home.

Discipline for misbehaviour? Kenneth Chalton (b1919) was English speaking but enrolled in a French convent school. Apparently when he misbehaved, he was put behind the organ which was then shoved against the wall.

He stayed there until the heritage version of “time out” was deemed sufficient (Coquitlam: 100 Years, p. 54). Slapping students was common and caning was permitted. Lunch at Millside School was held in the furnace room. Needless to say, there was no lunch room.

It wasn’t all hard work, though. There were annual school picnics and winter skating at Como Lake and tobogganing down Marmont on homemade sleds. Pioneer life had its rewards.

Whether you were in the first Catholic school which was a single room above the Fraser Mills Company store or you were lucky enough to be enrolled when it moved to its own building in Laval Square in August, 1911 (cost to attend was 50 cents a month) or you attended Millside School, there was a prevailing theme: money was more valuable than education. If you could find a job, school was quickly dropped.

Children in grades 5 and 6 would quit school to go to work at the mill.

Many students would leave school after Grade 8. There might have been another contributing factor to this early school leaving. For many years, Coquitlam students had to travel to New Westminster for high school. The distance would have been

enough to discourage many and it must have seemed like the logical time to transition from school to work.

There is no doubt that some fundamentals never change. Back to

school brings worry, sometimes anxiety and the hard necessity to abandon summer freedom for a structured and demanding classroom.

Times might have been simpler in 1912 but our human emotional complexities were as present then as they are today.

September was as exciting and challenging then as now.

If you can’t sell it on craigslist and your kids have lost interest, consider recycling that oncefavorite electronic toy at your local Return-It Depot.

Families now have a recycling option for all those beeping and buzzing and battery-powered toys that are no longer useful and are gathering dust in the closet.

Electronic toys are now accepted at specific recycling locations around B.C., including Coquitlam.

The Canadian B r a n d o w n e r s Residual Stewardship Organization (CBRSC), Electronic Toy Recycling started the electronic toy recycling program; it’s the first of its kind in Canada and the only government-approved electronic toy recycling program in B.C. The program will accept electronic toys for recycling, ranging from small electronic toy giveaways to large ride-on electrically powered toys.

Once an electronic toy is brought to a drop-off location, it is transported to Genesis Recycling, a local processor in Langley, and separated into different materials for recycling.

Metals will be smelted down and recycled into other metal products, while plastics will be sorted and sold or reused

in various manufacturing processes. All batteries will be recycled with a cooperate agreement between Electronic Toy program and the Call2Recycle battery recycling program. All electronics will be managed by rigorous R2/eStewards certified standards.

The new reycling program is a partnership with Waste Management of Canada and 12 other industry-managed recycling programs for beverage containers, tires and electronics, batteries, oil, gasoline and other flammables.

Examples of accepted electronic toys are: • Plush textile toys with electronics powered by batteries or plugs • Hard plastic toys with electronics powered by batteries or plugs • Remote control vehicles with electronics powered by batteries or plugs In Coquitlam, these toys, as well as larger electronic gaming devices, can be dropped off at the Lougheed Return-It Depot at 1045A Lougheed HIghway. In Port Coquitlam, these etoys can be dropped off at the Salvation Army branch at 2274 Elgin Street.

To find out where to recycle smaller e-toys typically geared to kids 14 and under, visit www. cbrsc.ca. To find out where to drop off large console gaming devices, visit http://rcbc.bc.ca/ recyclepedia and select your area.

Tiny flowers will be the harbingers of spring T

he garden giants of spring colour are giving way to their smaller cousins that actually repeat their performance year after year and leave a very soft footprint of dying and unsightly foliage.

Yes, the big tulips, narcissus and hyacinths provide a great splash of colour and are important in the right locations, but minor bulbs offer us a subtle accompaniment to so many other spring plants and can make our gardens truly spectacular.

Snowdrops and crocuses are growing in popularity because they are old fashioned favourites and easy to plant.

They perennialize readily almost anywhere in the garden to create an ever expanding display each year.

The tiny yellow buttercup-like winter aconite (Eranthis cilicica) is one bulb that sneaks ahead to bloom even before snowdrops and it is rapidly growing in popularity.

Its touch of yellow is a true spring inspiration in the cold gray months of January and February.

It multiplies nicely among ground covers but looks particularly nice together with dark ajugas, like black scallop, dark foliaged thymes and compact, almost black heucheras, like obsidian.

In recent years, more varieties of grape hyacinths (muscari) have been introduced into the marketplace than perhaps

any other bulb. Blue is a refreshing contrast colour for so many other plants and bulbs, especially those with golden or red foliage.

There are some recent innovations that I think are truly spectacular.

Muscari Mt. Hood has clear blue flowers with snowcapped white tops.

In clusters they look sensational as do the similar M. neglectum with their dark blue flowers rimmed in white. If you love a little perfume, the first yellow variety, M. golden fragrance, is quite an attention getter.These are all long blooming, midseason varieties.

There are a couple of quite pleasing later varieties. Muscari plumosum is a very large blue flowered variety that is very unique and M. comosum is a lavender coloured wispy variety that is so late it blooms with the alliums.

Muscari valerie finnis is a very unique soft blue that lifts any combination.

All muscari need to be planted in groupings for the best effect and they look great underplanted around dwarf forsythia and corylopsis (the variety well known as buttercup winter hazel).

We love scillas in our gardens simply because they bloom in May when most other bulbs are finished, providing a refreshing lift.The blues are nice but I must admit that the white and pink scilla campanulatas are fabulous.

The pink, in particular, adds a new and important colour to our gardens.

They multiply well too and yes, they even have a perfume.

So many folks who ask for old fashioned English bluebells are not quite

sure what to request in terms of getting the right bulb. Well, scilla nutans is the true English bluebell that thrives best in light shade and blooms over a long period of time.

One personal favourite is the little bulb puschkinia.These tiny pure white bulbs with pin striped blue flowers are incredibly bright and cheery in March landscapes.They look great with miniature yellow daffodils or dwarf red tulips, and they bloom a long while.

From a distance they look like soft blue clumps that spice up any border or rockery. Alliums are such a treat in June and July gardens, adding another fresh look as summer annuals get settled in.

There are so many varieties but the yellow Allium moly luteum, the bell-like pink and fragrant A. bulgarium and A. drumstick (A. sphaerocephalum) are my favourite tiny flowered varieties. No garden should be without A. schubertii and A. christophii for sheer wonderment of their intricately woven flower heads that last for weeks.

It’s okay to show off a little and no June garden should be without a few of the big guys like A. giganteum and the even larger A. globemaster.

They look magnificent blooming among variegated grasses like miscanthus variegatus and phalaris feesey’s form.

They will also draw the most admiring comments about your garden.

If you have a slightly shady deciduous woodland garden, then erythroniums are lovely.Their soft yellows and whites are perhaps the most striking and E. white beauty is the

cOUPON

one we love best in our gardens.

I love beautiful displays of narcissus and tulips but in today’s smaller space gardens they can look unsightly after flowering.

I must say we’ve discovered a yellow tulip called Garant that has absolutely striking yellow and green variegated foliage and is simply breathtaking before, during and after

flowering.

I’m also very fond of the mini daffodil golden bells, which is about the bulb size of a crocus and flowers with three to four flowers per bulb. It’s a must

have on your bulb list.

Take a good look now at all the botanical bulb opportunities in your garden for a simply dashing display in next spring’s garden.

‘These homes are for living’

Finding a new Vantage point Rising above the Brentwood area of Burnaby, Embassy Development’s Vantage gives you a brand-new view of the world.

“These homes are for living,” says Embassy founder Ryan Bosa. “They are well-thought-out, with the homeowner in mind.”

With gourmet kitchens full of stainless-steel appliances and a fullheight stone backsplash and amazing bathrooms with deep soaker tubs in the ensuite are just some of the beautiful features that come standard at Vantage.

Large windows to let the natural light flood in and spacious balconies combine to bring the outdoors to you.

Located steps from shopping and restaurants, Vantage is able to take advantage of everything Brentwood has to offer. Schools and recreation are minutes away, and can be accessed by transit just outside your door.

Amenities at Vantage itself include a fitness centre, on-site concierge service and a social lounge with a kitchen.

Outside, Vantage is surrounded by green space, a children’s play area and a fire pit, making it the perfect place for families of all ages.

Homes at Vantage start in the mid $400,000s. For more information visit www.vantagebyembassy.com or call 604-294-3339.

of Clayton Heights herself, she has no shortage of things to say about the neighbourhood.

“It offers everything,” she says, adding “I care about this community. ...

I’m here to help. People can come to me directly.”

Clayton Heights is a rapidly growing neighbourhood, and has amenities to match. Shopping, restaurants, recreation and schools are all within walking distance, and there is easy access to everywhere else in the Lower Mainland due to being near Fraser Highway and Highway 10.

“It’s a very family-friendly development,” says Castro. “You’re away from the hustle and bustle ... (and) Clayton offers so many things for families.”

For the month of September, Woodbridge is offering an incentive package for new buyers. It includes two years of no maintenance fees and an upgraded appliance package that has a value of over $8,000.

Homes start at $279,900. For more information, visit www.liveatlarue.com or call Castro at 778-885-5790 or the sales centre at 604-575-2263.

‘Clayton offers so many things for families’

A taste of the European life at Woodbridge’s La Rue

by Kerry Vital

Woodbridge Homes is bringing Parisian style to Surrey with La Rue, the street you want to live on.

La Rue, which means “The Street” in French, is a collection of two- to four-bedroom townhomes in Surrey’s family-friendly Clayton Heights neighbourhood.

“This is a fantastic way to get into the market,” says sales manager Andrea Castro. “This is going to be a legacy for years to come.”

The homes at La Rue include nine-foot ceilings and chic wood laminate flooring throughout the main living areas, and your choice of two designer colour schemes. The kitchens are perfect for the home chef, with stainless-steel appliances, tons of counter space and a ceramic tile backsplash with mosaic stone accents.

The cabinetry is chic and elegant, and is capped off with oil-rubbed bronze hardware as the cherry on the gorgeous kitchen sundae.

The floorplans are spacious and inviting, with plenty of space for entertaining or just lounging around.

Ranging from over 1,200 to more than 1,600 square feet, there truly is a home for everyone at La Rue.

“

This is a fantastic way to get into the market,” says sales manager Andrea Castro.

The master ensuite is relaxing and quiet, with an oversized shower stall with a semi-frameless glass door or a separate tub and shower, depending on your floorplan. The Victorian-profile vanities with his-and-hers porcelain sinks in most plans are a convenient detail that could prevent squabbles, while the huge mirror with its polished edge makes the entire room look larger.

Stone countertops are featured here too, complemented by the ceramic tile surrounds of the tub and shower.

But the luxury isn’t confined to the master bathroom. The secondary bathrooms include Victorian-profile vanities of their own, as well as a soaker tub, polished chrome bath accessories and laminate countertops.

“My favourite part is the beautiful foyer entrance,” Castro says. A resident

The draft plan will be available for review after September 24th online at www.riverviewvalues.info, at the main branches of the Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam Public Libraries, and at Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam City Halls.

LET ME PAINT YOUR PARADISE

BUSINESS OF THE WEEK

maglio’s PRIME PAINTING

In Today’s Economy You Should Know What You Are Paying For! SOME ESTIMATES AREN’T WORTH “FREE”!

When you receive a painting estimate does it tell you the name of the painter who’s going to be in your home every day?

Does it tell you exactly what prep work and level and brand of paint that is to be used? Is it what you asked for? Does it give you a room by room or item by item area breakdown including details and costs? Is the person estimating even a qualified painter?

Estimates are very important! A good painter will spot problematic areas such as problems from sun or rain exposure.

He can recommend new cost saving coatings and even save you from a bad case of the “colour clash”!

Coq. Express keep winning streak alive Alberni Valley, Victoria will be in town this weekend

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Express are hoping to keep their B.C. Hockey League winning streak alive tonight when the Alberni Valley Bulldogs pay a visit to the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre.

The team has gone 3-0 so far this month, with the latest victory coming against the Langley Rivermen during Coquitlam’s home opener last weekend.

Express coach Jon Calvano said one of the reasons for the team’s early success is due to the fact that many of the younger players have quickly gelled with the veterans on the squad.

“I’m sure there were some nerves for some of the rookies,” he said.“But with so many returning players, they act as kind of a calming factor.”

Coquitlam’s power play took advantage of some early Rivemen penalties, with the first goal coming less than two minutes in the opening period off the stick of Malcolm McKinney.

L a n g l e y ’ s Vi k t o r Dombrovskiy evened the score but another Rivermen infraction allowed John Siemer to net Coquitlam’s second power play goal of the game with five minutes left before the first intermission.

Rivermen forward Trevor Cope evened the scoring in the middle frame but the Express re-took the lead with five minutes to go in the third period.

With the lead secure, t h e Express made the final minutes of CaLVanO the game a little more interesting when the team ran into some penalty trouble.

Dillan Walker took two minutes for closing his hand on the puck with 1:21 left in the game. Forty-four seconds later Marc Biega gave Langley a five-onthree when he was given a penalty for tripping.

But a strong penalty kill allowed the Express to hang on to the lead and notch its third victory of the season.

“We got into some p e n a l t y p r o b l e m s ,” Calvano said. “But our penalty kill hasn’t all o we d a g o a l ye t .

Eventually we will but that night it helped us a lot.”

The Express have a busy weekend ahead of them.

The team will take on Alberni Valley on Friday at 7 p.m. at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre.

O n S u n d a y, t h e Victoria Grizzlies will be in town looking to avenge a 1-0 loss from Coquitlam’s first game of the season. That match will take place at 2 p.m.

“Both will be competitive games,” Calvano said. “Both of these teams are looking to make some ground on the island. We have to be ready for a hard-fought weekend.”

Ravens lose close game to No. 1 Rams The Terry Fox Senior Ravens came close to upsetting the No. 1 ranked Mt. Douglas Rams on the weekend but in the end the Port Coquitlam football club could not hang on to the lead.

R ave n s c o - c o a c h Jorge Knizek said despite the disappoint-

sports@tricitynews.com

ing loss, he felt good about how his team played, noting the Victoria squad was one of the best teams in the league.

“It was an extremely encouraging result as our boys showed tenacity, perseverance and the ability to not give up when facing ad-

versity,” he said in an email. “There will certainly be an enormous amount of positives to pull out the contest.”

The Ravens managed to take an early lead, outscoring the the Rams 27-20 at the first half.

But in the second half, the visitors’ of-

fence kicked into high gear, scoring twice in the third and advancing to a 27-34 lead going into the final quarter.

The Ravens’ offence, however, was not finished yet.

The home team managed to re-gain the lead with a 10-yard scoring

run from Trevor Casey, followed by a 24-yard rushing touchdown from Mate McLeodGenest.

But Terry Fox’s defence was unable to keep the visitors from reclaiming the lead, allowing one more touchdown to give the Rams a 44-40 win.

COQUITLAM METRO-FORD SOCCER PLAYERS of the WEEK ABIGAIL NEWTON

IAIN ELLIOT

The Under 15 Metro-Ford Inferno had a very difficult game against the powerful WCAG Outlaws. However, the entire Inferno team performed remarkably well, in particular Sophia Kazemi, Natasha Silva, Alyssa Dalip, Danijela Kazulin, but mostly forward ABIGAIL NEWTON. Abby worked very hard from the start of the match to the final whistle as she drove her opponents to distraction with her work ethic and indomitable persistence. For her excellent performance this past weekend, ABBY NEWTON has been named Coquitlam Metro-Ford female player of the week.

This season, defender IAIN ELLIOT led the Under 15 Fury to victories over Coastal FC, Prince George, and Terrace. His tireless work ethic sets a great example for his teammates, while his vision and physical play create innumerable problems for his opponents. Whether he is playing as a defending midfielder or a centreback, Iain dictates the pace of the game with his excellent leadership qualities. It is this high standard of play that has made Iain an essential part of the Fury team.

For his brilliant performances during the season, IAIN ELLIOT has been selected as Coquitlam Metro-Ford Male Player of the Week!

Thompson region a fisherman’s delight TIGhT LINeS Jeff Weltz Warm weather makes area a joy

I

s this weather great or what? It came late, yes, but we will take it.

I left my favourite area and fishery for the last segment of this series.

The Thompson is a tried and true fly fisherman’s river. She doesn’t give up her trophies easily, but she does give them often enough to keep the wonder in it.

The section from Lytton to Ashcroft is an enigma.

Daytime temperatures in this region are often the second hottest in North America, only one area in Arizona gets hotter.

Fishing in the evening at these times has a tropical feel with thermometer reading 30 C well past midnight.

This is the stuff written about by Hemingway, Zane Grey, Jack London and the like; wading wet in the moon light, after a fire red sundown, when salmon flies (the largest of the stoneflies, some measuring up to three inches in length) raise trout two and a half feet in length.

Did I do well in the Thom?

Of course I did. It’s why I’m drawn to the town of Spences Bridge every August. Big fish and big flies.

I tie my adult stonefly imitations on size four atlantic salmon dry fly hooks.

“Sacrilege,” some would claim but I pay them no mind.

They aren’t the one experiencing the aggressive slash, grab and run of a two foot trout, just out of sight, somewhere the blackness of the night.

The RepoRT

Our Lower Mainland lakes are fishing fair to slow. For wet (sinking) fly trout fishing try coachman, Zulu, wooly bugger, dragonfly nymph, damsel nymph, sixpack, doc spratley, pumpkinhead or baggy shrimp.

For evening dry (floating) fly trout fishing try Tom thumb, irresistible, royal coachman, renegade, elk hair caddis, black gnat, griffith gnat or Lady McConnel.

For kokanee try red ibis, double trude, blood worm, San Juan worm, red spratley or red carey.

For bass try zonker, Clouser’s deep minnow, Lefty’s deceiver, dolly whacker, big black, wooly bugger, foam frog, poppers, Chernobyl ant or crayfish.

For panfish try wooly bugger, micro leach, bucktail, dolly whacker, bloodworm, chironomid, poppers, turks tarantula,

Tom thumb or irresistible.

Fishing on our interior lakes is good.

For wet fly fishing try chironomid, halfback, 52 buick, pumpkinhead, big black, micro leach, coachman, green spratley, damsel nymph, dragon nymph, carey special, souboo, sixpack or baggy shrimp.

For Dry fly fishing try Lady McConnel, black gnat, double hackled peacock, Griffith gnat, black gnat, elk haired caddis, irresistible, sofa pillow or Tom thumb.

The Fraser is fishing slow for cutthroat, dolly varden and spring.

For cutthroat try rolled muddler, professor, Anderson stone, Zulu, American coachman, renegade, Tom thumb, black gnat, chez nymph and irresistible.

For dolly varden try zonker, eggo, Clouser’s minnow, big black or dolly whacker in sizes four and eight.

For spring try leadheading with size four to two, eggo, big black, flat black, wooly bugger, Kaufmann stone, Squamish poacher or red spratley.

The Harrison is fair for cutthroat.

The Vedder is slow for rainbow and cutthroat.

For rainbow try: Kaufmann stone, big black, black gnat, souboo, Zulu, renegade, Tom thumb, Chernobyl ant, foam hopper or irresistible. The Thompson is good for rainbow.

Become a Psychiatric Nurse in your own community There is an urgent need for more Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPN), particularly outside the urban areas of the province. And with the workforce aging – the average age of a Registered Psychiatric Nurse in BC is 47 years – the number of retirees from the profession is exceeding the number of graduates. Entry-level earnings start at $30.79/hour to $40.42/hour.

Train Locally – The only program of its kind in BC, students can learn within their local communities via distance education, local and/or regional clinical placements, and some regional classroom delivery.

This 23 month program is accredited by the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC (CRPNBC).

Government student loans, Employment & Labour Market Services (ELMS), band funding & other financing options available to qualified applicants.
