Music is medicine at Crossroads Hospice

MARIA SPITALE-LEISK/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

As Crossroads Hospice Society celebrates its 25th birthday, it also marks the 10th year of the Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice in Port Moody, where myriad methods are used to ensure a peaceful, comfortable end of life for dozens of people each year. Among the methods used to ease residents’ pain and anxiety is music therapy and, to that end, Jennyfer Hatch (above) has been singing for the last few weeks with Pearle Horne, who has resided at the hospice since February. For more on their story, and on the society, see page A3.

PoCo Sports Alliance has ambitious plans By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

For 100 years, since Port Coquitlam’s inauguration day was capped with a baseball game, the city has been known for its sports culture. But the new PoCo Sports Alliance (pocosport. com) launched last year will deepen and enrich the culture and spread it further afield, predicts Ryan Clark, the group’s executive director. see LEADERSHIP, SPORTSMANSHIP, page A5

End trash incineration: study Report criticizes carbon emissions from waste-toenergy plants By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

A new report urges Metro Vancouver not to

build any new waste-toenergy plants and says its existing garbage incinerator in Burnaby be phased out. Those are among the recommendations in a new study from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. I t s p a p e r, t i t l e d “Closing the Loop,” ex-

amines solid waste policy through the prism of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and encouraging green industries. Author Marc Lee takes aim in part at Metro Vancouver’s advancing strategy of building a new waste-toenergy plant to consume

370,000 tonnes of garbage by 2018, ending the region’s use of the Cache Creek regional landfill. The Burnaby incinerator, which burns 280,000 tonnes of waste per year, is a heavy carbon emitter even using disputed official estimates, according to the report, making it a considerably worse

source of electricity than burning natural gas. “Incineration has adverse consequences for health and GHG emissions, and requires a steady stream of waste that is inconsistent with zero waste objectives,” the report said. see LANDFILLING, page A13

CrossroADs HospICE: Society celebrates its 25th anniversary

Medicine, melodies & memories Music therapy provides comfort for the dying at Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice By Maria Spitale-Leisk THe TrI-CITy News

earle Horne asked that her hair be styled today. Now, an oversized sport watch fastened securely around her frail wrist, she lays her beautifully coiffed silver head on a pillow and relaxes in her room for most of the morning, waiting for noon to arrive. With little coaxing, her eyelids grow heavy, then fall. A haunting ragtime melody gradually builds in her subconscious: Five-foot-two, eyes of blue, But, oh, what those five foot could do. She is taken back. The staccato of shoes on the dance floor, keeping time with the piano chords, pounds in her chest. Horne is uninhibited as she sways to the music, watching from the sidelines. Suddenly, she feels fingers tap her shoulder. Her senses are stirred. She turns and smiles at him for the first time.

THE LIGHT

Jennyfer Hatch makes a punctual entrance for her weekly gig at Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice in Port Moody, her honey-hued, blacktrimmed acoustic guitar in hand. Almost immediately, the mood in the hospice’s common area brightens. Hatch is completing her final year of Capilano University’s Bachelor of Music Therapy program. She chose Crossroads for her practicum because of its beautiful, home-like environment and friendly staff. In turn, the hospice can add a powerful dose of distraction to its pain management arsenal — music therapy. “I told her,‘Just start playing [the guitar] and they will come,’”

SARAH PAYNE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Pete O’Reilly, Crossroads’ first employee, and Janice Hansen, manager of programs and administration, stand next to a piece of art created for the hospice.

Happy, sad and helping

IN QUoTEs

“Music and songs act as a catalyst for memory and storytelling.”

By Sarah Payne

Jennyfer Hatch, above with pearle Horne at Crossroads Inlet Centre Hospice in poMo says Janice Hansen, Crossroads’ manager of hospice programs and administration. Today, Hatch has an audience with Horne, who’s 90 and came to the hospice in February, in a relaxation room with cream-coloured walls and minimalist decor.The eye is drawn to a tray of sand and shells, a miniature rake resting on top, placed on a table in the corner. A nurse parks Horne’s mobile bed facing the window so the sun can stream across her face. Hatch pulls up a chair. After briefly catching up, Hatch gently gets down to business, asking her friend of three weeks whether she would like to hear“You Are My Sunshine”or“This Little Light Of Mine.” Hatch strums some introductory notes — the rich, deep tones vibrating through the tranquil room. Leaning in close, Hatch asks,“Where should the light go today? Do you have any pain today?” “Not so far,”responds Horne. “Good,”smiles Hatch. “How about some light

for your amazing hair?” “Yeah, how about that,” Horne shakily agrees. “Alright, so we are going to put the light deep into your hair,” Hatch tells her. And the song begins: Feel it deep down in your hair; I’m going to let it shine. Feel the light in your hair; I’m going to let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. “Beautiful,”remarks Horne. “Thank you,”says Hatch.

THE DANCE

Pearle Horne, who was born in Regina but considers herself a Vancouverite — she moved to the West Coast when she was three years old — admits she has never played an instrument. Sketching and painting people, animals and flowers, you name it, that’s her forte.The creative medium kept her mind occupied during lonely periods of her life. (“I didn’t have much of a family,”says Horne.“My daughter died in 1972.”)

Above are paintings done by Pearle Horne, 90, who works on her art at the hospice, where she has lived since February.

Music therapy has a history of helping Modern music therapy arose from the ashes of the world wars when musicians would pacify shell-shocked soldiers in field hospitals through song. “Complaints about pain, discomfort and being in the hospital diminished when musicians came into the wards,”says Stephen Williams, coordinator with Capilano University’s Bachelor of Music Therapy program. In 1944, the world’s first undergraduate degree program was founded at Michigan State University. Capilano College, as it was called at the time, set the stage for music therapists in Canada with the start of its program in 1976. One of the program’s most celebrated alumnae, Alpha Woodward, sings with the youngest survivors of the Bosnia-Herzegovina civil war at the Pavarotti Music Centre in Mostar, Bosnia. She helps the children, who are suffering from war-related mental and physical injuries, put their lives back together. Music therapists use various techniques — singing, playing instruments, improvising and songwriting, to name four therapies — to engage their clients. This practice promotes, maintains and restores mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health. Mental health agencies, physical rehabilitation centres, nursing homes, schools, substance abuse programs and hospice programs often employ music therapists.

THe TrI-CITy News

ete O’Reilly remembers the first time he walked into Crossroads Hospice in 2003, the culmination of some 20 years of hospice work throughout the Tri-Cities and beyond. “To come off that elevator and walk into this warm, absolutely beautiful place, you couldn’t take the smile off my face,” he recalled. “I was absolutely beaming.” O’Reilly, who used to work in the automotive business, had started doing hospice work as part of a loose network of volunteers in the 1980s. They were trained at All Saints Catholic Church in Coquitlam and dispatched to visit with dying patients as far away as Mission, either in hospitals or in their homes. By 1987, the volunteers wanted to firm up their status and the following year, the Crossroads Hospice Society was registered as a non-profit society. The name Crossroads, and the accompanying signpost logo, were chosen to identify the communities the society served — the Tri-Cities as well as Anmore, Belcarra and New Westminster. O’Reilly had sold his business and was asked to work for the society on a short-term basis to recruit board members and co-ordinate volunteers. He retired 17 years later. “That job, especially in the early years, entailed anything and everything,”O’Reilly said.“In a hospice setting, you’re supporting the people dying but you’re also supporting their family and friends, you’re supporting the staff, you’re counselling. “That was one of the things that initially scared me, the counselling, and I thought, ‘Not a chance.’ But I did a lot of it over the years.” And as Crossroads Hospice Society celebrates its 25th anniversary (the hospice building is marking its 10th birthday), O’Reilly looked back at a quarter-century of providing caring support to local families facing the loss of a loved one. see MORE THAN, page A4

‘Something to celebrate’ More than 300 volunteers continued from page A3

But through music, Hatch has elicited anecdotes from Horne about her nine decades of life. “Music and songs act as a catalyst for memory and storytelling,”explains the younger woman.“It lightens and deepens, can brighten for some people and be emotional for others.” Hatch’s favourite story is the one about Horne dancing the Charleston decades ago with her husband to the tune“Has Anybody Seen My Girl?” Frank was his name, it was a second marriage for both of them.They met at a dance and were inseparable for 28 years until his death a few months ago. “He came and asked me to dance,”recalls Horne.“He didn’t know whether I looked like a zombie or what. He approached me from behind. “It was like we danced together all our lives. It was just so easy.” A few moments later, Horne has peacefully drifted off to sleep. “She’s a beautiful spirit,” Hatch says.

THE MUSIC

Starting in September, Hatch will log 1,000 internship hours before being certified by the Canadian Association for Music Therapy. One of her sites will be the Port Moody hospice, where she will continue to alleviate residents’ anxiety and pain, even their boredom. The Tri-City native also worked in long-term care homes and with special

needs children in School District 43, where one of her main goals was to promote social interaction. Hatch has been carrying a tune since she was a toddler. Classically trained in wind instruments for 10 years, she only picked up the guitar when she pursued her music therapy career. Hatch says with Horne, her main goal as a music therapist is to reduce restlessness and discomfort through an intervention of using her favourite songs. “I find outside of her musical therapy session, she has a fair bit of pain and discomfort.The symptoms are relieved through the distraction of music.”

tions officer Kelly Parry, who has been sitting in on the session. “Today is my birthday,” says a tearful Parry.“And to spend my day with you is probably the best gift I could get.” Responds Horne, “That’s great. We really did have something to celebrate.” Parry asks Horne if she is hungry. “A little bit,”she says, agreeing with Hatch that they have worked up an appetite with all this music. After lunch, the music gone, Horne will retire to her room and work on a painting, something that will remain.

continued from page A3

“People say, ‘You must get depressed or sad,’” O’Reilly said. “Are there sad times? Yes, there has to be. But you get close to people, they’re almost like family. And the happy times far outweigh the sad times. “There have just been so many good people... and so many volunteers don’t get acknowledged. They put their heart and soul into Crossroads Hospice, and that’s why it is where it is today.” Where Crossroads

is? It’s now an organization that boasts more than 300 volunteers, most of whom continue to visit with patients in the hospice, at Eagle Ridge and Royal Columbian hospitals and in people’s homes. Ja n i c e H a n s e n , Crossroads’ programs manager, started as a volunteer in 1999. The prospect of working with patients so close to the end of their lives never concerned her; rather, she was eager to be helping those savouring their last moments. “I always liked that

fairy godmother piece of what we can do here to make that better, to make that raw time a little easier,” Hansen said. “It’s just a privilege to say, ‘How can we make this as meaningful as we can for patients and their families?’” They do that through any number of programs, including pet therapy, art carts to make memory boxes, a garden, alternative therapies like Reiki, spiritual care, music therapy and bereavement services. “It was so grass-

roots at the beginning,” Hansen said. “But the community just embraced us and we’ve grown so much.” • Crossroads is celebrating its 25th anniversary this spring with a public art project led by local artist Tammy Pilon and Grade 10 and 11 students from Gleneagle secondary. The largescale work will be unveiled in June at the Crossroads Thrift Store in Coquitlam. Visit www.crossroadshospice.bc.ca for more information. spayne@tricitynews.com

QUE SERA, SERA

Ten or so minutes have passed and Horne is awake again. “I had a good nap,”she announces.“I was sort of aware that things were going on around me.” Hatch will sing to Horne for about an hour, depending on the older woman’s energy level. Seeing that she is growing weary, Hatch decides it’s time for one last song. This time, Horne sings along: Que sera, sera, Whatever will be, will be The future’s not ours to see Que sera, sera What will be, will be. “I love that,”says Horne. It’s a poignant tune — given the venue, given the time of her life — that proves to be emotional for Crossroads communica-

Leadership, sportsmanship among goals continued from front page

Clark was hired in September to oversee the sport body and recently the organization launched its membership services, as well as a website, a calendar, a YouTube channel and Flickr account featuring videos and photographs of local sports events, including the recent BC AAAA Provincial Girls Volleyball tournament at Riverside secondary school. The organization, which grew out of the PoCo Amateur Athletic Organization and soon will move into offices in the Pitt River middle school currently under construction, aims to develop sports leadership in the community and, through the promotion of values and ethics, change attitudes in competitive environments where sideline misbehaviour will longer be tolerated. At the same time, the group aims to make sports more inclusive so as many people as possible engage in healthy activity. Through an annual sports summit, training and development for volunteers, coaches and athletes, as well as the development of partnerships with other agencies, the alliance hopes to make

the challenge. “What a great way to build a city sport culture, not just for the sake of building sport but all the

good things — the social, all the health benefits, better use of facilities.You put all this out there to build an exciting community,”

Clark said, calling the establishment of a sports development centre at Pitt River middle, a “rare and great opportunity.” The board of directors for the non-profit, funded mostly by PoCo city grants and team membership fees, is headed by Mike Bowen, a former PoCo city councillor and a longtime community sports activist, as well as directors from a wide-variety of education, school and team sport backgrounds, including Carey Chute, an SD43 assistant superintendent. The connection with SD43 is important because it means teams associated with schools in Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore and Belcarra — not just PoCo — can also become members and benefit from services. Clark brings coaching, athletic and organization development experience to the table. He grew up competing in rugby, track and tennis, and graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in marketing and public relations after earning a full scholarship for tennis. He coached in Egypt, where he trained the junior and U21 teams for the African Games, and served as Canada’s PanAmerican Games team coach in 2003, and be-

lieves his experience can help him mentor athletes, coaches and volunteers. Among the services he can provide, for example, is advice to Canadian and U.S. college and university-bound athletes, giving students the added boost and confidence that training for higher-level sport can boost the team as well as civic pride. “[Students] have more of a purpose when they go into their training,”he said, noting that among those he has provided advice to in the past are two PoCo athletes: Tyler Rosenlund, who went onto lead the University of CaliforniaSanta Barbara to the NCAA Div. 1 national title in soccer and plays professionally; and Krysha Bailey; a track and field star from Terry Fox who earned full scholarship to the U. of Georgia and competed for Canada’s Olympic team. Clark says he is excited about what sports can bring to young people and the larger community. “Sports really delivers at the ground level when you look at it. It’s the clubs, the coaches,the volunteers, the parents, the schools and the cities [all working together to provide an enriching experience]. That’s where it’s delivered.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

What our patients say...

Ankle and Foot “Laser treatment for my foot and ankle injury (ligaments & tendons) was a success after 3 years of trying other treatments which failed.” EA (85) Headache & Neck Pain “Due to a whiplash injury, I suffered severe neck pain. I had approximately 18 treatments and no longer suffer neck pain - it is truly a miracle.” Patsy Bernstein (58) Arthritis Both Knees “I have been suffering from knee pain for several years. I tried a number of other treatments to no avail. I am more than pleased with the results of laser light as my pain has reduced significantly.” William Jack (63) Shoulder Pain “I had frozen shoulder that limited my mobility. After 9 treatments of laser therapy my shoulder has gained back almost all mobility. There is no pain or discomfort with the treatments.” J.L. (48) Neck pain for 20 years “I had tried so many other procedures before so I thought I’d give laser light a try as all others had failed. After a few sessions I was surprised from the relief I got. I would highly recommend this procedure as a solution, it really works.” D.D. (69) Plantar Fasciitis “I have plantar fasciitis and a bone spur on my heel. I have been going for 4 weeks now and am almost all the way healed. The treatments are painless.” J.M. (52) Hip Replacement “After having a hip replacement, I have lived with constant pain for 4 years. After having laser treatment, I feel like a new person.” Violet Wiebe (84)

A campaign to get core funding for PoCoMo Youth Services Society has netted a $100,000 provincial grant and that, says executive director Jerome Bouvier, proves the value of the program supporting at-risk youth. The grant from B.C.’s Ministry of Children and Family Development is the third from the province this year. PoCoMo also received $25,000 from the proceeds of crime program and $76,000 in gaming grants

to keep its Project Reach Out bus, serving TriCities youth, running on weekends. “The provincial grants received, along with the $100,000 additional grant, is a strong recognition that our services are valued and needed,” Bouvier said in an email. Th e f u n d i n g a n nounced by MCFD minister Stephanie Cadieux this week is seen as good news by CoquitlamBurke Mountain MLA Douglas Horne, who told The Tri-City News he hopes it leads to core funding for the group in the future. “In the absence of the

Port Moody will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of its first council meeting this weekend, complete with vintage cars, period costumes and historic debates. Council members — Mayor Perry Roe and Aldermen White, Otley, Murray, McNeice, Mackay, MIKE CLAY McLean, Britton and Clarke (played by today’s Mayor Mike Clay and councillors Gerry Nuttall, Zoe Royer, Diana Dilworth, Rick Glumac, Rosemary Small and Bob Elliott) — will gather on Sunday, April 7 for a re-enactment of that first council meeting. It kicks off with the appointment of a city clerk, the mayor’s address and business of the day, including the drafting of a letter to CP Rail regarding the unsafe crossings at Kyle, Queen and Moody streets, and the preparation of a loan bylaw for $10,000. When the council meeting closes, the celebrations begin next door with an arts gathering and tea at the Port Moody Arts Centre, as well as a tour of the original city hall and display of century-old civic artifacts. On the way to the arts centre, guests can check out the Pacific Model A Club’s antique car display as well as the historical display of Andrés Wines in Port Moody, presented by Andrew Peller Ltd.

Three months in jail for repeat offender who squatted Woman arrested while cycling By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

A woman Coquitlam

RCMP labelled a “priority offender” last year has been sentenced to three months in jail. Sherri-Ann Bennett, 34, was arrested in December after police responded to re-

ports of squatters in an abandoned house on Manning Avenue in Port Coquitlam. At the time, she was facing 11 outstanding arrest warrants for multiple counts of posses-

sion of stolen ID and other property, breaches of conditions, mischief, failure to appear, uttering threats and theft. When Bennett failed to appear for a court date in January, an ar-

rest warrant was issued. About a week later, a patrolling Mountie spotted her riding a bicycle near Lougheed Highway and used his emergency lights, sirens and air horn to get her

to stop. Bennett instead pedalled faster and headed down a narrow path, with the officer chasing on foot. She then got off her bike and tried to run away but the offi-

cer caught up to her and she was arrested. Last week, she was sentenced to three months in jail, followed by two years of probation. spayne@tricitynews.com

DeBoer takes firefighting skills to Peru PoMo firefighter will help train emergency personnel in Lima

IN QUOTES

“It is neat to have global friendships. When we leave, we think that hopefully these people now have the training that is going to keep them from getting hurt.”

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

When Port Moody firefighter Rod deBoer travels to Peru this week as part of a contingent of volunteers with Firefighters Without Borders, he will be training emergency personnel how to battle blazes and avoid getting hurt. But there are some questions even an expert like deBoer has a hard time answering. “What we get asked a lot is ‘How do you fight fires with not very much water?,’” he told The TriCity News. “Here, we pretty much have a hydrant on every corner of the street. There, they don’t. They may have a hydrant for every five city blocks and even then, there is a good chance it doesn’t even work.” Fire trucks in Peru carry large tanks of water; if that tank is completely depleted, crews must unhook all of the hoses and equipment and send the vehicle to find the nearest hydrant to refill. That often gives a fire more time to grow, making it even more dangerous for emergency crews. “There are a lot of those issues that we

fire down there, they can burn down half a block of houses.” Peru’s fire departments are fairly antiquated and there are nowhere near enough firefighters to service

“It is neat to have global friendships,” he said. “When we leave, we think that hopefully these people now have the training that is going to keep them from getting hurt.” This year’s Firefighters Without Borders team consists of firefighters from across British Columbia with a diverse range of skills. Since 2008, FWB has donated 13 fire trucks, more than a thousand sets of turnout gear, more than 400 breathing apparatus and 20 tons of equipment valued at $2 million to fire departments in Belize, Cebu Philippines, Congo, El Salvador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru and Thailand.

the country, he said. For example, the city of Coquitlam, which has a population of more than 120,000, has

four fire stations while Trujillo, a city of 800,000 deBoer will be visiting this week, has just two. One of the techniques Firefighters Without Borders volunteers will be emphasizing during the training sessions is called “fire ground survival.” With these skills,

firefighters are able to assess damage and quickly get out of buildings when a structure has become unstable. “We are taught, basically, how to rescue ourselves,” he said. That self-reliance can be crucial to saving the lives of first-responders, deBoer added, particularly in countries where building codes and a lack of sprinkler systems make it possible for blazes to quickly get out of control. This week’s trip will be the fourth time deBoer has travelled with Firefighters Without Borders, having already worked with colleagues in Peru and El Salvador. He travels on his own dime and takes his allotted vacation time to do the work, and said he has made many friends during his travels.

Border math

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

ver the Easter long weekend, thousands of bargain-hungry Lower Mainland residents fled Arizona-like temperatures here in search of good deals south of the border. With the Canadian dollar hovering at par, premium outlet stores likely scooped up hardearned Canuck bucks that had been exchanged for U.S. greenbacks. This is nothing new. Cross-border shopping tends to rise and fall with the exchange rate — and dipped appreciably when the loonie was low between the early 1990s and 2003. For the most part, the government has taken a hands-off approach, netting millions in customs duties and foregoing millions from people who bring items across but don’t declare or are within their legal limits. But some would like to see the government to do more to keep shoppers close to home. Reducing tariffs is seen as one way to make Canadian retailers more competitive. Some fiddling has already taken place, with a reduction in imports for sporting gear and baby clothes. But many worry a corresponding increase in tariffs on a number of countries that used to get a break because their economies were small and struggling now no longer do. China was one such country. It’s true that tightening that loophole may hike consumer prices 3% in the short-term until importers can cut better deals. But it’s hard to justify this special deal, which was originally conceived as a form of “aid,” for a country like China, which has the largest economy in the world. Canada needs to strengthen its own manufacturing industry to become more diversified and, to this end, the government has cut import duties on manufacturing equipment while ending deals for competing countries. What can Canadians do to help support our economy, which pays for the health care, social services and infrastructure that support us every day? They can do a better job at math for one. As Target shoppers are starting to find out in Ontario, it’s more expensive to do business here, and even the big U.S. retailer’s prices north of the border reflect that. Then, when they head south, they can add travel time, border lineups, the cost of gas, food and accommodation to their so-called savings to see if they still come out ahead.

Greenhouse gas leaks from Pacific Carbon Trust BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he Pacific Carbon Trust orchestrated a months-long campaign of calls and letters to discredit a report from B.C.’s Auditor General on its first two big carbon offset projects before that report could be released. Just as the audit report was about to be made public, the trust, a Crown corporation created at taxpayers’ expense, participated in the leaking of selected critical letters to media outlets. Then the speaker of the B.C. legislature, Bill Barisoff, made a final, clumsy effort to delay the release of the report. As soon as it was out, Environment Minister Terry Lake tried to discredit it by blustering about all the highly paid experts who swore up and down that a forest reserve near Kootenay Lake and a gas flaring reduction project near Fort Nelson were bona fide carbon offsets worth $6 million of taxpayers’ money.

The audit states in plain language, with charts and timelines, that the $6 million was basically given away for nothing. I look forward to further audits on this carbon offset scheme, assuming it survives after the May election, because these two projects aren’t the only boondoggles. The Pacific Carbon Trust was set up in 2008 as part of former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate change program. To make the B.C. government’s operations“carbon neutral,”the government and all of its agencies were required to pay the trust $25 per tonne for their carbon dioxide emissions from fuel use. In 2011 alone, B.C. universities paid $4.46 million to the trust while B.C.’s 60 school districts paid a total of $5.36 million and the province’s six health authorities paid $5.79 million. The money is supposed to go to projects that capture carbon, thus“offsetting”the heating of schools, the fuel burned by ambulances and so forth. The 55,000-hectare forest reserve is known as Darkwoods. The audit shows that the Nature Conservancy of Canada decided in

Auditor’s evergreen report questioned The Editor, Re. “SkyTrain right call for Evergreen: audit” (The Tri-City News, March 29). According to B.C.’s auditor general, John Doyle, “SkyTrain and not light rail was the best option because of its greater capacity at similar cost…” N eve r m i n d t h at SkyTrain is actually also a light-rail (LRT) system, although automated, but let’s look at the figures: • SkyTrain Mark I cars (the oldest ones) carry 80 passengers, or 320 for a four-car train; Mark II cars carry 260 to 290 passengers for a twin unit, 520 to 580 passengers for a train of two twin units. • Canada Line carries 334 passengers for a twin unit; due to the tooshort tunnels, one could only run three cars by having the current twin unit split in two and an expensive special car inserted in between. • Seattle Central Link LRT uses three cars that carry 200 passengers; they run twin sets of two

(And on the Tukwila viaduct near SeaTac Airport, the Central Link LRT looks like SkyTrain.) • Portland’s MAX LRT has the same length, also runs twin units and has a

slightly smaller passenger load. • Paris’ T2 line runs two trams (LRT), carrying 440 passengers while its T3 line uses trams that carry 300 passengers and could be twinned to carry 600. These LRT and the SkyTrain are close in size and passenger load,

especially compared to the Toronto subway’s latest trains, the Red Rocket (six communicating sections and a capacity of just over a thousand passengers). One does wonder how it is possible for SkyTrain, with elevated guideways and expensive elevated stations, to

cost the same as a LRT. If Mr. Doyle talked about the cost of drivers on the LRT, he should know that tramways (the common European name for light-rail transit) do not require staff in the control centre nor a police force (I have never seen a transit police in many metro sys-

The Editor, “No man (or transit mode) is an Island, entire of itself; every man (or transit mode) is a piece of the continent, a part of the main…” Yet, auditor general John Doyle’s report supporting SkyTrain instead of light-rail transit for the Evergreen Line ignores the fact that modern LRT has proven to have greater capacity than SkyTrain, delivered at a much lower cost, everywhere else except here in Lotusland. Since SkyTrain was first marketed in the late 1970s, only seven such systems have been built, yet during the same period of time, more than 160 new LRT systems have been built and 30 more are under construction. LRT has made SkyTrain obsolete but despite the frenzied hoopla by TransLink and the SkyTrain lobby, else-

where, the proprietary metro is seen as an expensive Edsel by knowledgeable transit planners. The main tram or streetcar line in Karlsruhe, Germany is being relocated in a subway because the route is now seeing 45-second headways during rush hours, achieving a peakhour capacity of more than 40,000 persons per hour, per direction. Not only does this demonstrate LRT’s ability to cater to extremely high ridership on inexpensive rights-of-way, it also shows the thresholds needed that would demand subway construction. Neither the Evergreen Line nor the proposed Broadway SkyTrain subway could cater to such traffic flows that today are being routinely carried by Karlsruhe’s tram or streetcars, yet inside the TransLink/Metro Vancouver bubble, what is common elsewhere is deemed impossible here.

Admitting pot use at U.S. border may get you banned

Border guards take new tack after Wash. legalization vote By Jeff Nagel Black Press

Pot-smoking B.C. residents are increasingly being banned from entering the U.S. as American border guards try to stem the flow of Canadian marijuana tourists in the wake of Washington State’s weed legalization vote late last year. Blaine lawyer Len Saunders said he’s seeing more cases of B.C. residents being permanently denied entry after trying to carry pot across the border, thinking it’s no longer an issue. Because marijuana is now legal to possess under state law, Canadians caught bringing less than an ounce across aren’t charged, as they were in the past. “I’m seeing no prosecutions — zero since November,” Saunders said, “but there’s more confusion.” What happens now, he said, is pot-packing Canucks have their stash confiscated and are then interrogated under oath about their drug-using habits. Admit that you’ve ever smoked or used marijuana in your life, he said, and you’re deemed inadmissible to the U.S. because you’ve confessed to a crime of moral turpitude. “The key is to not admit that you’ve ever used it,” Saunders said, stressing he isn’t counselling anyone to lie under oath. He noted anyone could be questioned about past marijuana use at the border, whether

American border guards are increasingly banning B.C. residents from entering the U.S. in an effort to stem the flow of marijuana tourists. Customs and Border Protection agents find pot on them or not. Past studies have found a majority of B.C. residents report using marijuana at least once. Saunders said he’s increasingly had calls from Canadians deemed inadmissible over pot use who say they can’t believe it happened to them and must now apply for th a tough-to-obtain re-entry waiver also required forth anyone with a criminal conviction who wants to return to the

PAYING TOO MUCH TAX?

U.S. A pot dispensary is expected to open in Blaine, he said, but the licence hasn’t been granted yet. “It’s legal to possess,” Saunders said. “So if you make it over the border you can buy it and you can use it.” Saunders noted Washington’s legalization of pot doesn’t extend to use by minors age 18 or under. And anyone who brings a “truckload” of pot over the border can still expect to be prose-

cuted under U.S. federal law. Ironically, he said, while an admission of marijuana use in the distant past can bar you from the U.S. for life, convicted drunk drivers face no such problem. “If you have multiple DUIs you are admissible to the U.S.,” Saunders said. “A DUI is not a crime of moral turpitude because you didn’t have the intention to drive drunk. Because you were drunk.”

Landfilling plastics, wood products is preferable carding tech gadgets in favour of new models. “Meaningful progress will be difficult,” it said, but argued changes made now will be “much less painful than if we

continued from front page

In particular, it notes plastics and paper — key materials that should be diverted for recycling — contribute the most energy when burned. “Programs that succeed in reducing waste could, perversely, be a challenge for incinerators needing to run at high enough temperatures to reduce the formation of toxic compounds.” Fro m a c l i m at e change perspective, it said, landfilling plastics and wood products would be preferable to incineration, because it would be a form of carbon storage, even though other strategies to reduce, reuse and recycle would be better. Incineration doesn’t make garbage disappear, it said, noting at least 22% is typically reduced to ash that still must be landfilled, while heavy metals and other toxins can escape. “Even if energy is produced from incineration, it is uneconomic energy as it destroys useful materials that are costly to replace from virgin sources.”

Over the next two years the regional district is to determine a preferred technology and identify potential sites. jnagel@blackpress.ca

A new report urges Metro Vancouver to phase out its existing garbage incinerator in Burnaby. It also calls on the region to not build any new waste-to-energy plants. The report also urges province-wide composting and a phase-out of single-use products and packaging. Materials that are toxic or non-recyclable should be either banned or tightly regulated. It also says B.C. needs to develop green manufacturing or reprocessing industries, but admits it will be challenging. Public investments will be needed, it says, to support a shift away

from landfills and incinerators in favour of waste reduction, reuse, repair and maintenance, and finally recycling and composting. No estimate is provided of the public cost, but the report argues fees to landfill or incinerate garbage should be steadily increased to create an advantage for diversion. It also notes much of what’s considered recycling is really “down-

cycling” — degrading something like highquality plastic to lowergrade uses like plastic wood. The study admits its ultimate “closed loop” vision of a low-waste society where appliances, for example, are repaired and reused for far longer than today is at odds with an open economy that freely allows imports and exports, as well as consumers’ penchant for quickly dis-

Fin’s fin ban shot down in House Tri-City MP James Moore voted with fellow Tories last week to sink a proposal by another Tri-City MP that would have banned shark fin imports in Canada. The private memb e r ’ s b i l l by N ew Westminster-Coquitlam NDP MP Fin Donnelly was scrapped after federal politicians voted 143 to 138 against granting it second reading. “I am disappointed more Conservative MPs did not support this important legislation,” Donnelly said in a statement released following the March 27 vote. “I hope the government will take immediate action to restrict the importation of shark fins to Canada.” Many municipalities have adopted bylaws based on Donnelly’s lobbying to regulate shark fins. Last year,

ike any mom, Mandy Tulloch knows about problems with bullying. Now, after writing and directing a play based on real life experiences of School District 43 students, she’s making it her personal cause. “Without sounding too dramatic, I’ve found it’s actually changed my life,” Tulloch said in an interview with The Tri-City News to promote The Bullying Games, which runs April 8 to 13 at Terry Fox Theatre. Tulloch said the experience creating the play — from information gathered by Terry Fox students and working with a group of dedicated student actors — has inspired her to continue to tackle the topic through theatre. “It will be a project of mine until I’m done. I’ve heard too many sad stories,”she said. Known for her awardwinning as work as a writer, director and drama teacher, Tulloch said she has learned a lot from teachers, parents and students who have come forward to support the project. And after weeks of rehearsals, the cast of 40 students is about to bring the longawaited project to the stage. Expect more than a few surprises when the hour-plus production rolls out with a full set,

Mandy Tulloch (above right) wrote and directed “The Bullying Games” based on real life experiences of School District 43 students that was collected by members of the Terry Fox secondary school leadership group, whose students (below) sold more than 1,000 pink t-shirts to raise funds for production, which will be performed for students and the general public. Above left are cast members Makena Ram, Richard Chapman and Amanda Lau. lighting, costumes and makeup. The story is set in the future, when bullying is a competition, although Tulloch said there won’t be any content young people can’t handle. The issues covered in the play are age-appropriate, she said, and are presented in a way that will keep the kids’ attention. There will be music, dance and martial arts displays in the production, and opportunities for more discussion in the public performances. “My mandate was to create something that was entertaining, educational, thought-provoking

and [will] maintain students’ focus,”Tulloch said. Another remarkable feat of The Bullying Games is that it’s entirely self-funded. No taxpayers’ dollars went into its creation. Fox teacher Dean Whitson said his leadership students, who commissioned the play, sold 3,600 pink “Love is Louder than Bullying” t-shirts to fund it. Ticket sales will also help cover the costs. Now that it’s about to be performed, Whitson said, “I think people are really curious to know what this play is all about.” The play will be per-

formed in front of 3,000 students in Grades 1 to 12 in eight school performances. As well, three public showings will take place, although the April 13 black-tie gala — featuring Juno award nominee Shawn Hook and the Chilliwack band These Kids Wear Crowns — is sold out. • Tickets are still available for the Friday, April 12 performance at 7 p.m., which will also include a silent auction, and a 1 p.m. matinee on April 13. Tickets are available by emailing terryfoxbullyinggames@sd43.bc.ca or calling 604-941-5401. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

These books will take you on a journey from the realm of fantasy and fiction to reality and from the Atlantic Ocean to the coast of British Columbia.

Robert Redick has been compared to George R.R. Martin, China Miéville, and Phillip Pullman. Think cruise ships are immune from terrorist attacks? Think again.

‘She couldn’t say no’ It was a dream come true. For 25 years Kendra Sprinkling worked as a professional singer with stars such as BB King and Taj Mahal. She had been living in San Francisco when she received an invitation to play a fundraising gig in Vancouver. David Harrison of the Arts Club Theatre was putting together Starry Nights, a fundraiser for AIDS, a mysterious disease that wasn’t really even recognized in Vancouver at the time. She couldn’t say no. In San Francisco, Sprinkling had seen first-hand the effect of this horrendous disease. In 1995, Harrison passed away from AIDS but he made sure to leave his fundraiser in good hands. Sprinkling took over and founded The Shooting Stars Foundation “I changed careers without even knowing it. It was the most organic process possible,” she admits. Combined with her direct experience as a performer, Sprinkling credits the longevity and success of Shooting Stars events to a platform that is a winwin for everyone involved. The upcoming Motown Meltdown in Coquitlam is a perfect example of this symbiotic relationship. “Everyone involved contributes their time for free,” Sprinkling said. “There are 25 performers for the show and they love the networking factory that the backstage inevitably becomes. The band loves it because they get to play with 12 people — and that big band experience is like no other.” So far, Shooting Stars Foundation has raised $1.8 million for direct-service AIDS agencies in Vancouver with Motown Meltdown, Fit For A Queen, Gambado! Dinner and Auction, Undercover Wine Tasting and Starry Night.

Shooting Stars get down with Motown Fundraiser at Red Robinson Show Theatre brings in top talent for a good cause By Jenn Chic Black PReSS

Motown has influenced almost every singer out there — as the line-up for this year’s Motown Madness illustrates. Some 25 Canadian performesr will gather on Saturday at Coquitlam’s Red Robinson Show Theatre (2080 United Blvd.) to perform their favourite Motor City classic with a 12-piece band complete with a horn section and background singers. “I think everyone has a relationship with the classic tunes of Motown,” said producer Kendra Sprinkling, executive director of the Shooting Stars

Foundation, an organization that raises funds for people with HIV/AIDS (see side story). “And I just love those horns. It’s like a train coming down the tracks.” Inspired by the critically acclaimed film Standing in the Shadows of Motown, the show features a number of hits such as I Heard It Through The Grapevine, Dancing In The Street and Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone. And among those to hit the stage for the concert are David Wills (once the hard-rocking frontman for Stonebolt); country singer Jaydee Bixby (of Canadian Idol fame); and acoustic folk singer Roy Forbes. • Tickets for Motown Meltdown on April 6 at 8 p.m. are $30 and available through Ticketmaster at 1-855-986-5000. The all-ages event includes a dance floor.

Coquitlam’s Cara Lukawesky threw six solid innings for the Simon Fraser University Clan softball team, but a lack of offence meant her club fell 2-0 to the Central Washington Wildcats last week.

Clan falls despite Lukawesky’s efforts on the pitcher’s mound Team falls to 11-5 in GNAC action and 16-15 overall By Larry Pruner The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam’s Cara Lukawesky is known for policing well the pitcher’s circle, only Saturday she got thoroughly robbed.

Lukawesky threw six solid innings but her Simon Fraser Clan dropped a 2-0 count to the Central Washington Wildcats after one of the host-team outfielders made a superb catch off a Mackenzie Bender line drive after the Clan had loaded the bases in the top of the seventh inning. L u k a w e s k y, w h o dipped to 6-8 on the uni-

versity women’s softball season, allowed only four hits as the Wildcats scored in the bottom of the first inning and an unearned run in the bottom of the sixth in Great N o r t h we s t A t h l e t i c Conference action in Ellensburg, Wash. “Strong pitching has been a theme for us,” said Clan head coach Mike Renney, whose team split the twin bill

by cruising to a 6-0 triumph in Game 2. “Our offence was lacklustre in the first game [but] we did have our chances, though. It was just too little too late in the first game but I was pleased how we bounced back in the second game.” The results left the Clan 11-5 in GNAC action and 16-15 overall.

Port Moody rower helps team Canada take bronze Port Moody rower Krista Guloien was one of eight athletes that helped Canada win the bronze medal at the World Rowing Cup in Penrith, Australia last week. Australia took gold in the women’s final, completing the course in six minutes, 6.98 seconds, with the U.S. overtaking Canada for second

The Coquitlam Reds are back from spring training in Arizona this week and played their first exhibition game against Vancouver at Mundy Park on Sunday against the Vancouver Pirates. The Reds will play another exhibition game on Wednesday before gearing up for regular season action, which begins on the road against Whalley on Saturday. Coquitlam’s season home opener is scheduled for Thursday, April 18 at 6:30 p.m. at Mundy Park against Abbotsford. RobeRt McDonalD Photo

Former Red has NCAA success with Wolves A former Coquitlam Red is off to a strong start this season in the NCAA college baseball league. Outfielder Brent Lawrence led South Dakota’s Northern State University Wolves offensively at the recent Russ Matt Collegiate Invitational tournament in Tucson, Ariz., going a blistering 12-for-28 at the plate. Lawrence scored 11 runs along with six runs batted in as NSU

went 4-4 on the week. The Tri-City athlete was able able to draw five walks and was hit by a pitch twice, good for a team-leading on-basepercentage of .600. The 22-year-old senior has played with the Wolves since leaving the Junior College Douglas Royals of the Northwest A t h e l t i c C o l l e g i at e Conference. He played in the B.C. Premier Baseball League with the Coquitlam Reds for sev-

eral seasons. L aw r e n c e c l o s e d out the spring training week by going two for four against Maline University of Ohio and hitting five for five with two doubles in a losing effort to Morningside College of Iowa. He was named player of the week for Northern State, who plays in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. sports@tricitynews.com

CORRECTION

An article that appeared in the March 27 edition of The Tri-City News erroneously reported that the TriCity Predators had only won one game during this year’s regular season. In fact, the team won multiple games this season and had a strong enough record to make the provincial championships, which they won. The team won only one game last season. We regret the error. sports@tricitynews.com

‘We’re playing good base-to-base softball right now’, says SFU coach continued from page 26

L a s t T h u r s d a y, L u k aw e s ky — a n SFU senior and Port M o o dy s e c o n d a ry grad — was again outstanding, firing a complete-game 4-1 victory over the Northwest Nazarene

Crusaders in Nampa, Idaho. Victoria’s Kelsie Hawkins pitched a 6-0 win in Game 2 to give the Clan the doubleheader sweep. “We received two solid pitching perf o r m a n c e s ,” rave d Renney. “At times we

did some nice things offensively. We manufactured runs. We’re playing good baseto-base softball right now.” Lukawesky tossed a l l s eve n i n n i n g s against NNU, allowing only two hits and one run, which was

unearned. She also struck out five. The Clan’s next action begins Friday at the Mizuno To u r n a m e n t o f Champions hosted by t h e C a l S t a t e Stanislaus in Turlock, Cal. lpruner@tricitynews.com
