Trash canned Recycling proposal could cost taxpayers plenty By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Changes to B.C.’s recycling regulations that make producers of packaging responsible for the life cycle of their products could reduce the quality of municipal recycling collection services, says Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore. While making producers of waste financially responsible for its disposal is a good plan, he said it will take control of collection away from municipalities and residents could end up paying more for an inferior service. On Monday, both Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam councils considered an offer put forward by Multi Material BC, an organization run by packaging producers responsible for developing a stewardship plan for the materials. The cities are being asked to sign on to a financial incentive program by Sept. 16 that would see local

The terms are not negotiable and include penalties that Moore believes could end up costing municipal governments millions. “We don’t know why they came out with such an aggressive contract,” Moore said.“It does seem really odd.” One clause in the contract he points to regards contamination rates. see MAYORS, page 8

Marko is living proof there’s hope JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Marko Marconato, 13, of Port Coquitlam, who was diagnosed in December 2011 with osteogenetic sarcoma, underwent four months of intensive chemotherapy to shrink the malignant tumour before a 20-hour reconstruction surgery, then six more months of chemo afterwards. Now, he is in “active recovery” but still has issues with his arm and can’t play hockey like he used to.

Diagnosed at 12 with osteogenetic sarcoma — the same cancer Terry Fox had — a PoCo teen is now in high school and relatively healthy. See article, page 15

The long and the short of it

Artist David Pacholko explains his work last Friday afternoon at the unveiling of the 448-foot-long public art display in Port Moody on Clarke Street. The Evergreen Public Art Project, located at Douglas Street, is the longest in the community and covers one of the construction areas for the new SkyTrain line. This is the first visual result of a collaboration between the Evergreen Project Team and the Port Moody Evergreen public art liaison committee. The Evergreen Line is scheduled to open in summer 2016. JASON ROESSLE/TRI-CITY NEWS

50 charges in raid that netted 33 guns By Jason Roessle The Tri-CiTy News

A Galil assault rifle, a Sten machine gun, an AK-47 assault rifle, a Glock 17 handgun and an M1 carbine. These were among 33 firearms seized in a bust in June by Coquitlam RCMP that resulted in 50 criminal charges being laid against a Maple Ridge man whom police claim was selling weapons to criminals. Marc Wisdom, 41, has been charged with 26 counts that are firearmsand ammunition-related, 20 counts for possession of prohibited devices and four counts of possession of prohibited weapons. The charges stem

from a June 12 raid in which Mounties executed four search warrants at locations in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Maple Ridge, Insp. Paulette Freill said at a press conference Tuesday morning in Coquitlam. The bust was a joint operation between Coquitlam RCMP, the regional Emergency Response Team, National Weapons Enforcement Support Team (NWEST) and the Explosives Disposal Unit. Th e l o c a l S t r e e t Enforcement Unit (SEU) initiated the investigation in February when information was received about gun and drug trafficking in Port Coquitlam, Freill said.

During the searches, in addition to the weapons listed above, police also seized items such as a conducted energy weapon (like a Taser), butterfly knife, 62 prohibited high-capacity ammunition magazines, body armour, pre-packaged marijuana, about 30,000 rounds of ammunition and 60,000 counterfeit DVDs. NWEST Cpl. Frank Grosspietsch said in an RCMP handout, “To be absolutely clear, these firearms were not part of someone’s collection. These firearms were meant for criminals in Greater Vancouver and were meant to cause maximum carnage.” jroessle@tricitynews.com

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says this undelivered mail stacked up at the Port Coquitlam post office last week during several days on one Coquitlam route when no mail was delivered.

No delivery not acceptable, say union & mayor By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Postal workers say Canada Post failed to meet its responsibilities and delayed mail to 900 homes on Westwood Plateau because it couldn’t cope with staffing shortages. Cindy McDonnell, a representative for the Pacific Region of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, said mail wasn’t delivered to Plateau Boulevard, Chartwell Green, Chartwell Lane, Caulfield Ridge, Hampton Drive and other streets for five days, and only intermittently thereafter because of staffing shortages. The union says mail was allowed to pile up between Aug. 30 and Sept. 5 while a worker was off sick and there weren’t enough on-call relief workers to fill in; as well, it says an opportunity to sub in someone from another bargaining unit was not allowed. McDonnell said the delivery is only now starting to catch up. “The Canadian public relies on us to ensure that they receive their mail in a timely fashion and we need to make every reasonable attempt to ensure that this mail gets delivered,” McDonnell told The Tri-City News, adding that Canada Post’s reputation is damaged when problems such as this occur. But Canada Post says there was only a slight delay because delivery still took place on alternate days when a postal worker was sick; it also said residents of those streets received their flyers and parcels in a timely fashion. Canada Post spokesperson Eugene Knapic said unexpected absences at the Port Coquitlam office “challenged our resources” but only one route was affected. “The situation last week was an anomaly and I can confirm that we have returned to normal delivery this week,” Knapic stated in an email. Coquitlam’s mayor says this is not the first time Canada Post has not met the standards expected in the delivery of mail to Westwood Plateau, which,

like newer neighbourhoods across the country, has community mailboxes, not house-to-house delivery. “Canada Post has to get it together,” Richard Stewart said, “and I made it clear that our city expects them to find a solution so the suburbs get reliable mail like everybody else.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

The Public Open House will be held on: Wednesday September 18, 2013 Time: 5:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Place: Old Orchard Hall Address: 646 Bentley Road, Port Moody, B.C.

‘Demolition by neglect’ at Riverview: Nicholson Hospital grounds falling into disrepair, says Hodge By Gary McKenna THe Tri-CiTy News

The future of Treefest could be in jeopardy unless the province does a better job of maintaining the Riverview Hospital grounds, according to a Coquitlam councillor. While the 20th annual event is set to get underway this Saturday, Coun. Craig Hodge, who chairs the city’s Riverview lands advisory committee, said provincial budget cutbacks mean the lawns and vegetation have not been maintained. “I am really concerned about the future of Treefest but also just the grounds,” he said at Monday’s council meet-

ing. “It’s a terrible situation and it is disheartening to see the grounds fall into such a state of disrepair.” During a recent visit to the area, Hodge said he found many of the historic trees in poor shape and one that had blown over during a recent windstorm had not been cleared away. He also noted invasive species moving into the area, which could be detrimental to the vegetation that already exists on the 244-acre property. With the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ annual convention coming up next week, Hodge said he and his fellow councillors should be pressing provincial officials to restore maintenance funding to the grounds. The B.C. government controls the property and Coun. Neal Nicholson said he believes Victoria

is purposely defunding maintenance operations in an effort to pave the way for development of the site. “It is demolition by neglect,” he said. “The more it moves into this state... the more it becomes clear that redevelopment

PoCo explores rec centre options By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Port Coquitlam is kickstarting a process that could radically alter the city’s downtown to take advantage of transit, recreation opportunities and the potential for commercial and residential development. This week, the city launched a process for envisioning the future of 15 acres of city-owned land that currently houses the two ice rinks, Wilson Centre seniors facility and Terry Fox Library as well as the now empty site of the former works yard and some parking lots. The aging facilities are due for an upgrade, says the city’s mayor, and the timing is right to look at redeveloping the property, potentially taking advantage of proximity to the West Coast Express station and the potential for luring SkyTrain to PoCo in the future. “That’s the vision we have to create here,” Moore said, acknowledging that the process of planning for the site is a “complex land use” issue that will likely involve private development at some point. This is not the first time the city has looked

Expanding ice capacity is just one of the possibilities for a revamped PoCo rec complex. at redeveloping land in the area. Prior to 2008, Townline was chosen to work with the city on developing residential and commercial projects on the works yard property, which is directly southeast of the rec complex. That plan was nixed after the recession hit and Moore sees a blank slate for the area, with the public weighing in on what it would like to see to maximize the potential of the property to meet the city’s future needs. “Who knows what uses [there could be],” he said, “and there may be groups with their own ideas.” An advisory committee with groups representing seniors, library users, sports associations, School District 43 and local business will look at various opportunities and report back at the end of the year. Among the ideas the city will consider: • expanding the existing ice capacity (the

green arena was built in 1969/’70, the blue arena was built in 1976); • creating a fitness centre; • making plans to accommodate a swimming pool; • revitalizing the seniors’ centre;

• and providing for residential, commercial and other community uses. The last time the PoCo rec centre was upgraded was 1999. Moore said some of the costs of redeveloping recreational facilities

could be offset by private development of some of the land. But the aim of this first phase is to come up with an overall land use concept and layout for the future development of the site. Future phases will be identified once this concept and a development program (including financing) are determined. A consultant has also been hired to oversee the process.

Mayors worried about fines continued from front page Currently, PoCo’s contract with its recycling processor allows for 10% contamination, a rate the MMBC contract would reduce to 3%. Failure to meet the 3% threshold would mean a $5,000 fine to the city for every truck over the contamination limit. PoCo city staff estimate that could increase costs by as much as $3.1 million per year for the municipality. Another issue with the financial incentives outlined in the MMBC offer is that they do not cover the complete cost of collection, a requirement under the new recycling rules. In PoCo, MMBC is offering $600,000 for a service that costs approximately $700,000 while in Coquitlam, staff estimate the offer would only pay for 75% of the total collection budget. The agreement does not include any price adjustments for inflation or fuel costs, and would give MMBC the right to ban residents from the program if they consistently fail to meet the 3% contamination limit.

Moore recognizes that MMBC is about to undertake the largest extendedproducer MOORE responsibility program in Canada and that the organization may be unwilling to negotiate with individual municipalities. But some consultation with the Metro Vancouver board, which Moore chairs, could have easily been undertaken and would have given communities an opportunity to voice some of their concerns, he said. Moore said he has had discussions with officials in municipalities across the Lower Mainland and British Columbia and said the feedback on the MMBC offer is mostly negative. In cases where municipalities do not sign on to receive the financial incentives, MMBC will supersede local government and contract out its own collection services. Cities have an option to opt out of the agreement, which would mean col-

lection services w o u l d continue as before without the financial incenSTEWART tive. During Monday night’s meeting, PoCo council voted in favour of a resolution asking to work with MMBC on a revised agreement. Coquitlam councillors were equally cool to the MMBC offer, voting unanimously in favour of rejecting the financial incentives for recycling collection. Councillors will write the provincial minister of environment expressing their concerns about the proposal. Mayor Richard Stewart said it is time for the province to step in and take charge of the process. “MMBC’s proposal is a step backwards,” he said. “The province has to tell producers that this is unacceptable. This doesn’t meet the intent of the legislation and leaves a whole bunch of the responsibility and too much of the risk in the hands of municipal taxpayers.”

Allen Langdon, the managing director of MMBC, disputes some of the assertions made by Stewart and Moore. He said his organization has been in constant contact with municipalities and is already in negotiations with several cities about contracting collection services. Langdon took issue with the mayors’ comments that MMBC is not covering all of the costs of collection services, as mandated by the province. His organization has reviewed the recycling programs in 23 municipalities and determined that the incentives offered in their contract are fair. “We will cover 100% of the costs of an efficient and effective system,” he said. “We feel we have provided a fair financial incentive.” Langdon also noted that the $5,000 fines would be limited to 24 per year, meaning the total could not exceed $120,000. He said the fines are meant to ensure producers are not on the hook for the costs of disposing of other kinds of recyclable materials.

“We understand there may be some issues but we are hoping collectors will work with us and show some initiative to get us down to that 3%,” he said. He said producers are taking responsibility for their products and expect to pay between $250 and $300 million over the next five years for packaging and printed paper collection. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

NE Coquitlam quarry proposal gets drilled by city councillors By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

A gravel quarry being considered next to Minnekhada Park and near the site of the future Partington Creek neighbourhood is not welcome in Coquitlam. That was the message from city council during Monday night’s meeting, where councillors voted unanimously to send a letter to the province asking them to oppose the proposal. “We have always had sand and gravel,” said Mayor Richard Stewart. “For generations, we have produced it... and I think we have done enough.” Partington Creek neighbourhood, which will be the future home of 15,000 residents, is too close to the quarry property, he added, while Minnekhada Park is right across the street. Stewart was also concerned with the fact the

wCe access changed Clarke Street access to the Port Moody transit exchange and West Coast Express parking lot located under the Moody Street overpass will be permanently closed next week as part of Evergreen Line construction. The closure begins Sept. 15. Drivers wishing to exit the transit hub and WCE parking area will be directed to use Hugh Street. A new traffic signal will be installed at St. Johns and Hugh streets to assist drivers and buses leaving the park-and-ride area. proposal was brought forward in August, a month when most residents and local politicians are away on holidays. Proponents appear to be “taking advantage of August as a great time to get as minimal input as possible,” he said. “The public consultation process cannot include August.” A drilling application was filed with the province at the beginning of last month that, if approved, would allow the

applicant to conduct an initial investigation of the land. If a commercially viable deposit is found to exist on the property, it would not take long for construction of the quarry to begin, said Jim McNeil, a resident of the area and critic of the project. “We are asking council to send a clear statement to the ministry that a new quarry does not fit in with the city plans for the area,” he told council-

lors during a committee meeting.“Here is an issue where we have unanimity from area residents... this is good for no one.” Most councillors agreed. Coun. Lou Sekora put forward a notice of motion calling on the provincial government to quash the proposal while his council colleagues each took turns blasting the plan. While the proponent has said it would barge materials from the quarry along the Pitt River, Coun. Mae Reid cited an increase in truck traffic through a future residential neighbourhood as a major concern. “The fact that it is close to Gilleys [Field] is a big consideration,” she said. “We are going to have lots of children and young families in that area and having this as a truck route is not a good plan.” She added that concerns over the envi-

ronmental impact the quarry would have on local wildlife and nearby Minnekhada Park were also a factor. Coun. Terry O’Neill criticized the timing of the proposal. He said the plans have caused a lot of consternation for residents in the area and he believes the provincial approval process for quarries is flawed. “It looks at a situation that might be OK for the Chilcotin Cariboo,” he said. “But this is in the middle of a growing neighbourhood.” Still, he added he would wait to hear from the proponents of the quarry before making a final decision on the proposal.

No shelter?

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

t is an irony of the homeless shelter business that the more successful it is, the more people are concerned about having it in their backyard. Last year, a shelter operating nightly in winter in a Port Coquitlam church attracted more homeless men and women than in the previous two years and staff managed to convince more than 40 of them to leave the street. If that’s not a success, we don’t know how else to measure the performance of the temporary bridge shelter run by the Hope for Freedom Society. What was different about the bridge shelter last year compared to previous years is that it stayed in one place and provided security for people’s buggies and belongings as well as access to support services, including a food and clothing bank. Two local dentists had even set up a free dental clinic there. Previously, the shelter rotated through five churches in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. Those were also successful in connecting homeless people to services and many left the street, although shelter use was beginning to flatten — until the PoCo one opened. Problem is, with the success of the PoCo operation came other issues. It became a target for complaints and although it has never been proven that problems experienced by local residents and businesses were caused by shelter users, the host city had no choice, it appears, but to step back. Now, the shelter is itself homeless unless the city of Coquitlam can come to the rescue. So far, the city appears willing to consider a temporary use permit and if council can do its research, including gathering public input and police and HFFS assurances that problems can be contained, the required legislation can be passed and then the shelter will see another year. If not, the shelter program will be in limbo — and that’s bad news. Cancel the program for a year and this region will be back where it started, with no hope and no support for people who need it most.

Province could cure civic government cash crunch BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA ivic politicians from across B.C. are in Vancouver Sept. 16 to 20 to take part in the annual Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) convention. There will be trivia reported as news — such as the cost of hotel rooms for those politicians — and suggestions to license mobility scooters or lower speed limits to 40 km/h, dreamed up in Vancouver Island retirement locales, that will be rejected by delegates from the rest of the province. Serious discussion will revolve around a report by a UBCM executive committee to reshape the financial relationship between the province and local governments. If this proposal gets the support it deserves, Premier Christy Clark’s government will be asked to undo a couple of decades of political meddling in that relationship.

One problem for local governments is that they depend on property tax, a stable source of revenue but one that has no relationship to a property owner’s ability to pay. It tends to load costs onto lower-income groups such as seniors and renters. Economic growth results mainly in increased corporate and personal income tax revenues as well as sales taxes, which aren’t shared with local governments. One key proposal is to return to a system of revenue-sharing grants introduced by the Social Credit government in the 1980s. They were funded by one point each from personal and corporate income tax and 6% of sales, fuel and resource tax revenues, thus increasing in years when provincial revenues were strong. The UBCM proposal is to put a share of provincial revenues into an infrastructure bank to be distributed by the organization on a more stable basis. Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard, one of the authors of the report, uses a basketball analogy to describe the current system of federalprovincial grants for road and bridge projects.

It’s a“jump ball,”where communities have to apply to a fund when it’s offered and then see who gets it. Even if a community wins the jump ball, they may find themselves with costs inflated by a hot construction market and an arbitrary deadline to get the job done. Then there are new regulations imposed by senior governments. The most dramatic example these days is a 2020 federal deadline for Greater Victoria to build land-based sewage treatment. Even with federal and provincial cost sharing, this project is going to land heavily on property tax bills, including those of pensioners and poor renters who will have it passed on to them. Leonard points to another arbitrary system: provincial facilities that pay grants in lieu of property taxes. Saanich is home to the University of Victoria, a community of 25,000 people that needs water and sewer service as well as police and fire protection. Saanich gets an annual grant in lieu of property taxes of $120,000 for UVic, enough to cover wages and benefits for one cop and maybe some gas

money. Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, co-chair of the UBCM committee, is concerned about new water and floodprotection legislation the province is preparing to impose. His district and others like it have thousands of kilometres of riverfront, with relatively few property owners. Interior communities also want BC Hydro to pay something for power lines, as is now being done with some aboriginal territories. Local politicians will be expecting a sympathetic ear from the new version of the BC Liberal government. Former Quesnel councillor Coralee Oakes is the new community, sport and cultural development minister, with direct responsibility for local government issues. And one of the original members of this UBCM committee was former Langley City mayor Peter Fassbender, who is now minister of education.

Problems with pot argument The Editor, Re. “Is it a big deal that Liberal leader Justin Trudeau smoked pot?” (Face to Face, The Tri-City News, Sept. 6). Wh i l e Fa c e t o Face columnist Andy Radia raises some good points, I couldn’t agree more with columnist Jim Nelson. First, let me say that there is quite a difference between taking a puff one time and being a long-term user of marijuana. So, referencing a 2007 paper about the long-term effects of smoking marijuana, no matter how scientifically valid, seems a little off topic when discussing Justin Trudeau’s admitted usage. The simple fact is that there is no way whatsoever that a long-term user (or “stoner”) could ever have the resolve, determination, vision or resources to become a successful politician. As Nelson pointed out, this whole discussion is somewhat irrelevant, and it certainly takes our focus away from the more important issues facing our nation. If the average citizen is anything like me, he should be far more concerned with the “real crimes” (as Nelson puts it) committed by politicians on a regular basis. What about the secret deals made behind closed doors that affect the future of our country? Let’s focus on exposing the corruption and lies rather than bickering over such small matters. We, the people, have the power to hold our politicians accountable. Let’s not be distracted by irrelevancies. Obviously we don’t want our leaders habitually smoking marijuana while in office, or even on vacation for that matter. But let me ask you this: Would you like a leader with a perfectly clean slate, who has never made a mistake in his/her life? Or would you prefer one who has stumbled, even fallen, but has gotten back up, learned and grown from past experiences and become a better person as a result? Sean Cowan, Coquitlam

Come together to feed hungry kids The Editor, Re. “1,000 school-age kids going hungry” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 6). Those of us who have had the chance to spend a lunch hour with an elementary school class, whether it was on a school field trip or just visiting our own child in class, can vouch for the fact that there are kids going hungry in School District 43. On a field trip last year I witnessed two kids in that group that had nothing to eat come lunchtime. One child paced around the classmates mumbling about being hungry in hopes that someone would offer up an item from their lunch. The teacher had brought an extra item or two, knowing that there would be kids without food that day. I have heard this story a number of times: teachers buying snacks with their own money to give

Some kids go to school daily without a lunch, says the writer. to kids that they know regularly go hungry. This does not seem like a sustainable model for the future. The old saying “It takes a village to raise a child” fits here. It is time that as a community we put our heads together to find a way to make sure the most vulnerable of our kids are getting at least one nutritious meal a day. Doing it through the schools seems a logical choice. It is the place where we can connect with the most children aged five to 17 years. I

know there are initiatives already underway at some schools — breakfast programs and subsidized lunches — yet perhaps it is time for the city, the province, the school district and the community stakeholders to work as a team to create a program that is inclusive and sustainable. One that allows all of our kids access to a nutritious meal at school without having to single out and publicly identify those kids who are the most in need. Bonita Zarrillo, Coquitlam

Vehicles, pedestrian hit by paintballs Coquitlam RCMP are looking for information about Sept. 7 incidents Police are searching for someone who shot at people with paintball pellets earlier this week. A vehicle heading west on Lougheed H i g h way n e a r t h e Coquitlam River Bridge was hit by blue paintballs around midnight, according to Coquitlam R C M P C p l . Ja m i e Chung. Then, a pedestrian walking in the same area was shot several times, followed by a third inci-

dent in which a vehicle at Lougheed Highway and Coast Meridian Road was pegged repeatedly with blue paintballs. All three incidents happened in a twohour period around midnight between Sept. 7 and 8. No sus-

pects have been found. “If whoever did this thinks it was a funny prank, then that person should give his or her head a shake,” Chung said. “Shooting paintballs at someone could cause serious injuries if the projectile hit the eyes.

“This is not a joking matter and the shooter could face significant criminal charges,” he said. If you have any information about the incidents, police ask you to call 604-945-1550.

Casino funds to be used to enhance local tourism

Craig to run in Coq.

sekora lone voice against proposal to allocate $600,000 for new project

The tourism sector in British Columbia pulls in $13.4 billion per year and Coquitlam is looking to get a piece of the action with a three-year program it hopes will increase the city’s profile. Council voted Monday in favour of taking $600,000 out of its casino fund over the next three years to pay for the initiative, half of which would go to pay a tourism manager. The new staffer would be tasked with creating a “one-stop shop” for all tourism-related issues and would be a point person for local initiatives. But while most councillors voted in favour of the plan, several had concerns about using casino money — usually used for one-time capital projects — to hire staff. Coun. Lou Sekora was the lone councillor to vote against the plan, although Mayor Richard

Stewart and councillors Terry O’Neill and Craig Hodge also expressed concerns. “I’ve gone both ways on this one,” Hodge said. “I really don’t like funding staff time with casino money.” O’Neill added that while he supports funding the program for the next three years, he would eventually like to see local business take over the initiative. He added that it would be nice if other municipalities in the Tri-Cities contributed. But most councillors acknowledged that, for now, the only way to get the program off the ground was with the city’s support. Coun. Neal Nicholson said council should see the proposal as an opportunity to get ahead of neighbouring communities in its effort to attract tourism dollars. “It is up to us to get it going,” he said. “It is our opportunity to show some leadership.”

Another candidate has thrown his hat into the ring for next month’s council byelection in Coquitlam. Burquitlam resident Ben Craig said in an email that his neighbourhood is underrepresented on council and he wants to be a voice for a rap- ben craig idly changing section of the city. “With Evergreen Line construction underway and thousands of new residents coming to our area, it’s more important than ever to have a strong voice for our region,” he said in an email. “Burquitlam will transform in the next few years.” Craig has been a financial adviser for 15 years and said his platform will focus on small business and making sure the costs of government are kept under control. The byelection will take place on Oct. 26. Two seats are up for grabs to replace Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson, who were elected MLAs in May.

FOUR TRI-CITY FOX RUNS

There are four Terry Fox Runs in the Tri-Cities on Sunday, Sept. 15: • The Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam (Hyde Creek rec. centre, 1379 Laurier St., 10 a.m. start); • Coquitlam (Blue Mountain Park, 10 a.m. start); • Port Moody (Rocky Point Park, 10 a.m. start); • and Anmore (Spirit Park, noon start). For more information, visit terryfox.org.

JANIS WARREN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Terry Fox secondary student Marko Marconato, 13, plays street hockey with his brother Nicco, 18.

Mom: ‘You can beat it. Marko is living proof’ By Janis Warren The Tri-CiTy News

“M

innekhada middle,” Marko Marconato said when asked in August what school he would be attending in September. “No, you won’t!”replied the Port Coquitlam boy’s mother, Paula, with a bewildered look.“You’re in Grade 9.” “Oh, yeah,”he smiled, sheepishly.“Terry Fox. I keep forgetting. I’m in high school now.” Rising to the secondary level is a big deal for every teen but it is especially sweet for Marko given the nightmare he and his family have gone through over the past 21 months. In December 2011, Paula was play-fighting with her 12-year-old son when she felt a lump on his right arm. “You couldn’t see it,” she said,“but it was very large when you touched the bone.” Marko’s arm had felt sore but because he was active in swimming, lacrosse and hockey, he didn’t think anything of it. When the mass didn’t go away after Christmas, Paula took him to the doctor, who ordered X-rays, which were followed with a biopsy at B.C. Children’s Hospital on Jan. 25, 2012. The family of five braced for the news. He had cancer, they were told. And not just any cancer. Marko had the same type Terry Fox — also a teen living in Port Coquitlam at the time of his diagnosis — had: osteogenetic sarcoma. To shrink the malignant tumour before a 20-hour reconstruction surgery, Marko underwent four months of intensive chemotherapy that started five days after he got the biopsy results. “He basically lived at the hospital,”Paula said.

Third in a series “There was very little athome time.” The limb-sparing operation that happened on April 17, 2012 involved taking bone from his leg and fusing it with bone in his arm. Afterwards, he underwent six more months of chemo. Again, he lost his hair. At Children’s, with an external brace pinned into his arm, the plucky teen decorated his room with signed jerseys from his heroes — Boston Bruins’ Milan Lucic and Vancouver Canucks’ Roberto Luongo — as well as hockey memorabilia from the Coquitlam Express, which had held a fundraiser for the Marconatos, as did other sports organizations and businesses. The year“was very long,”said Paula, noting her son sustained infections and low blood counts. His stay at Children’s Hospital was an eyeopener, his mother said. Marko met other young cancer patients, many of whom did not survive. “I can count five friends, under the age of 15, who have since died,” Paula said. Staring at her boy, she said,“Marko has been to hell and back but at least he’s back. Other families can’t say the same. “Marko is such a happy kid to begin with. He went in with a great attitude and came out the same Marko. He held it together.” Today, he is described as being in “active recovery.”

He still has issues with his arm — he broke it in May as the bone wasn’t fusing — and returns regularly for medical check-ups, including CT scans, EKGs and hearing tests. He also sees his orthopedic surgeon every three weeks. For the next decade, he’ll be under a doctor’s eye so he remains NED, which stands for“no evidence of disease.” Because of the limited use of his arm, he can’t write (he’ll use a laptop for school work) nor can the minor hockey goalie play organized sports. “It sucks,”he said. Still, he keeps busy. Marko is eager to spread the word about surviving cancer, especially as September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and as the 33rd annual Terry Fox Run rolls around with the Hometown Run just blocks from his house. Sharing Terry Fox’s story with her children has long been important to Paula. She watched Fox on his Marathon of Hope in 1980 and took part in the annual runs in his name. She even participated when she was pregnant with Marko and, when she crossed the finish line, organizers place a ribbon on her belly. “Who would ever think, all these years later, your son would have cancer too?”Paula said.“You just don’t know what cards you will be dealt with in life. “We feel so fortunate with Marko,”she added. “There’s hope for cancer patients now, not like in Terry’s time. Look how far cancer treatments have come.You can beat it. It’s possible. Marko is living proof.” • To read more about Marko Marconato’s cancer journey, go to caringbridge.org/visit/ markomarconato.

Port Moody chick talks menopause Mom has fun and dispels menopause myths

IN QUOTES

“We need to be cracking open the conversation.”

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody mom whose alter ego is the Menopause Chick has won the attention of a celebrity doctor for her groundbreaking website on one of the heath industry’s least talked-about topics. Dr. Mehmet Oz of Oprah fame has named www.menopausechicks. com as one of the top 10 information sharing sites on menopause. But Shirley Weir acknowledges it will take more than getting recognized on Oz’s sharecare.com website before female menopause is more than simply a punchline to a bad joke. “We need to be cracking open the conversation,” said Weir, who uses the catch phrase as part of her mission statement on the website she started last year. The 46-year-old mother of a 10- and 13-year-old says there’s a lot of misinformation on the web, which she hopes to help dispel with the help of local experts and health care professionals. Her own life experience prompted her to start a blog and then a website and her 25 years in marketing have given her the skills to get them noticed. Weir said she was experiencing sleep issues and tried to find the cause and some healthy solutions using “Dr. Google” but came up against a wall of noise. “I’d get all these ads: Lose your belly fat in 10 days.” But not much that was unbiased and helpful, Weir said, noting that

Shirley Weir of menopausechicks.com

DEFINITION

From www.mayoclinic.com:

“Perimenopause means ‘around menopause’ and refers to the time period during which a woman’s body makes its natural transition toward permanent infertility (menopause). Perimenopause is also called the menopausal transition. “Women start perimenopause at different ages. You may notice signs of progression toward menopause, such as menstrual irregularity, sometime in your 40s. But some women notice changes as early as their mid-30s.” DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Port Moody’s Shirley Weir shows off her www.menopausechicks.com website, which has garnered the attention of Dr. Mehmet Oz on his website www.sharecare.com. The paucity of reliable information on menopause has put Weir’s website on the issue in the spotlight. much of that online information is inaccurate. It took a considerable amount of dedicated research to find out that her 3 a.m. wakeup call was more than simply a glitch in her sleep-wake cycle. In fact, it turned out to be one of the less-than-joyous aspects of perimenopause — and one that’s experienced by 59% of women between the ages of 35 and 55.

BURNOUT

At the time, Weir’s chil-

dren were just entering school, and her aging parents needed her attention, too. She was burning the candle at both ends and thought the 3 a.m. wake-up call was a gift. Then came the exhaustion, the burnout, bouts of depression and other issues that came from wakefulness and stress. Learning about menopause was an eye-opener, if a little deflating. “I learned I wasn’t special. I just wasn’t taking care of my self.”

Her research proved that dealing with perimenopause is more complicated than taking hormone replacement therapy. (According to the Mayo Clinic website, perimenopause is “the time period during which a woman’s body makes its natural transition toward permanent infertility [menopause].”) If you want to be healthy at 35, 55 and 95, without the diseases that go along with stress,

anxiety, poor eating habits and lack of exercise — osteoporosis, for example — you have to start taking care of yourself when you are still young or at least old enough to know better, Weir says. “You have to think, ‘What can I do now to make sure that doesn’t happen?’ so you age in a healthy way.”

LONG JOURNEY

It’s been 10 years since she embarked on her perimenopausal journey

and Weir has found some healthy life balance and a network of people interested in talking about menopause. Putting it out there has garnered her the attention of Dr. Oz, Canadian musician Jann Arden is following her on Twitter and Weir is practising her dance routine for The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “I’m putting it out there to the universe,” she enthuses, “So far, everything’s been so positive.” Future plans include

a directory of health care professionals and ChickFlicksTV on YouTube is in development, where Weir interviews people knowledgeable about the topic. If anything can be gained by all this talk about menopause, Weir says, it’s that women take more time to think about their health and their own needs without embarrassment, shame or guilt. “I think I’ve found an awesome niche, one that I’m passionate about, and one that’s quite uncrowded.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Bounty of books on books A GOOD READ Bronwyn Punch

have always loved books about books ever since reading William Goldman’s The Princess Bride. After reading this book I went looking for S. Morgenstern’s book and was disappointed to find it did not exist. Over years of reading, I find that I am still drawn to stories about books, either real or imagined. Such as… It’s a Book by Lane Smith is a children’s book that will be enjoyed by all ages but especially appreciated by bibliophiles. This is a fun look at books versus computers that many readers will appreciate and is worth adding to your own library.You may also want to add the board book for babies, It’s a Little Book, also by Smith. Mr. Penumbra’s 24hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan also looks at books and computers, taking the idea up a few notches and comparing libraries with Google. I like some of the descriptions of information used in this book; Old Knowledge, or OK, refers to information held in books, and accounts for most things people know or have ever known.Traditional Knowledge,TK, is what we hold in our heads. These two overlap somewhat and there is further overlap with information available on the internet but the internet as yet only holds a fraction of the OK/TK available while offering the big improvement of the time and ease of finding any particular piece of required information.This book is about solving a puzzle. I enjoyed the

conclusion and appreciated how the puzzle was solved. The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde is a mystery set partially within Emily Bronte’s Jane Eyre, and if you know the story you will recognize and appreciate this literary crime novel. Tuesday Next, as Literary Detective, has the job of finding out who has been kidnapping characters from works of fiction. In this first book of the series, her main goal is to find Jane Eyre and maybe fix the end of the novel while she’s on the job.This book includes time travel, vampires and discussion about who really wrote Shakespeare’s works, and does not fit any genre very well but crosses in and out of many. Last Chance Book Club by Hope Ramsey is

a nice, cozy romance, perfect for a relaxing read after a hard day. Lovers of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will be able to compare this modern tale with many of the same plot lines, matchmaking relatives, proposals from the wrong man, dislike becoming love and, of course, a happy ending. The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett tells what might happen if the queen, while out walking her corgis, comes across a travelling library. It follows a possible reading progression for someone who has rarely had the time or opportunity to read for pleasure. What consequences may occur if Her Majesty discovers a passion for reading to the point of letting it interfere with her stately duties? The Uncommon Reader is a short but fun read. The Professor and the Madman by Simon Winchester is the story of the making of the Oxford English Dictionary. In the age of the internet, it is easy to forget the amount of work that went into creating dictionaries, especially ones as complex as the OED. I have always loved words and their meanings but the idea of creating such a work is staggering, so this book is worth reading

just to get an idea of the amount of work involved. In 1857, James Murray started work on the creation of The New English Dictionary, expecting to include all of the English language in four volumes and completed in 10 years. Apparently after five years, writers had only reached the word “ant.”It took 70 years and 12 tombstone-sized volumes to make up the first edition.This work was completed with the help of volunteer contributors. The madman in this story was one of those contributors, and this is the story of the relationship between him and Murray and the creation of this incredible work. A Passion for Books, edited by Harold Rabinowitz and Rob Kaplan, is the perfect read to fill the odd moment. Stories, essays, lists, cartoons and an epitaph, from one to 16 pages long, make it a great book to pick up and read in between all of those distractions that take us away from our passion, books. Find these books on books and more at your local library.

Singers sought for new adult choir in PoCo The new community choir, Choral Connections, wants to help singers ‘grow’ with music Tri-City music lovers wanting to sing songs spanning the Renaissance period to modern day can join a new adult choir that will swing into action next week. Michael Grice, a charter member of the Chor Leoni Men’s Choir and a former music director of the Coquitlam-based Coastal Sound adult choir, will start rehearsals for Choral Connections on Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at Riverside secondary in Port Coquitlam. And, best of all, there are no try-outs. “Doing an audition scares a lot of people

away,” Grice said. “They think, ‘We’re not good enough to be in a choir.’” Rather, Grice said the choir is aimed at offering quality musical training to novice and experienced singers in a positive, social setting. “The Tri-Cities has a tradition of providing good arts opportunities for people of all ages and skill levels,” he said. “We’re just wanting to fill one here in PoCo.” Grice said the group will explore all genres. “If it’s good music and at a level that this group can master then we’ll do it,” he said. “I don’t restrict the repertoire choices at all. I listen to what the singers are interested in.” Still, the Sunshine Coast resident expects participants to commit once they’ve signed up — and that means no drop-ins, please.

“What I want is people who want to grow [musically],” he said. “It’s about seeing how good we can be as a choir and how much we can learn. “We want people who want to have a journey.” Choral Connections will be accompanied by pianist Vincent Lo, an award-winning composer and publisher who studies under Henry Waack. Meanwhile, the choir’s first public performance is already scheduled: Sunday, Dec. 8 at St. Laurence Anglican Church in Coquitlam, with the women’s a capella ensemble Harmony.

Paper Trails, a blues rock/folk band made up of Matt Polidoro, Lucas Drever and Teile Iantorno of Port Moody and Les Hill and Chris Sallis-Lyon from North Vancouver, are in the studio this month to record its first EP.

Paper Trails to release first EP next month By Janis Warren

The Tri-CiTy NeWs

att Polidoro feels like fate intervened when he started his new band earlier this year. After the Port Moody guitarist broke ties with his former ensemble, Men of the West, Polidoro called on his drummer friend, Chris Sallis-Lyon, to join his outfit called Paper Trails. Polidoro and Sallis-Lyon — a North Vancouver resident who studied jazz percussion at Vancouver Community College — had competed against each other in a battle-ofthe-bands contest at the Roxy; they also had worked together on a Men of the West album.

Soon, the pair had Polidoro’s best friend Lucas Drever to play guitar and, two months later, Teile Iantorno on vocals. The trio recruited her on the spot after she pulled over her vehicle and recorded a song on her cell phone. “When we heard her, it was like ‘Holy cow,’” Polidoro said. “We knew she was the one.” Two months later, luck struck again when Sallis-Lyon’s friend, Les Hill, a former jazz drummer and teacher, signed on as the bassist. “And since then, everything has flown by so fast,”Polidoro said. Paper Trails put on its first show — mostly in front of friends — at the Kozmik Zoo in June. But also in the crowd was Kate Dunn-Roy of

Kapital Entertainment, who Polidoro said was so impressed that she immediately asked to manage the group. The next month, Dunn-Roy organized the Paper Trails to appear at Granville Island’s Backstage Lounge. “And we had double the crowd and that was on a Wednesday night,” he said.“It’s all because of Kate.” “PaperTrails is the type of band that comes along once in a blue moon and consists of the types of musicians that any manager would kill to work with,” Dunn-Roy told The Tri-City News. “Their drive, focus and overall passion for music far succeeds that of most musicians attempting to make it in this business and, to add to the mix, I was gifted with a group that

could also back up their big dreams with even bigger talent.” This month, Paper Trails started working with Port Moody music producer Jordan Oorebeek to cut two original songs for a fivetrack, self-titled EP; the other three songs will be recorded by students at Harbourside Institute of Technology, of which Sallis-Lyon is an alumnus. Polidoro hopes the album will be out later next month; it will be followed by a cross-Canada tour next summer to promote the release. “We feel very fortunate to have done so well in such a short time,” Polidoro said. “It’s like it was meant to be.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

New shows at ECC, PMAC Art lovers in Coquitlam and Port Moody will be busy Thursday as each community’s cultural centre is opening exhibits. The Art Gallery at Evergreen is presenting Unreal, a fantastical exhibition that considers the diversity and innovation with which artists explore the edges of reality. Included will be works by contemporary artists such as Francis Bacon, Luanne Martineau, Marina Roy and several others. “All of the artists in Unreal owe a debt to the surrealist movement, which began in the 1920s and has since inspired countless artists, writers and poets to liberate their imaginations and delve into ideas around psychology and emotions, dreams and fantasy, the strange and the absurd,” read a press release. The opening reception

will be Sept. 15 from 4 to 6 p.m., and just previous, from 2 to 4 p.m., a family workshop will be offered which examines dreams, emotions and psychology while teaching participants about the history of collage within the surrealist movement and contemporary art.

Ravens, Centaurs roll over opposition The start of the season may still be over a week away but the Terry Fox Ravens and Centennial Centaurs varsity football squads already look to be in mid-season form. Th e R ave n s e a s ily handled the West Vancouver Highlanders 42-7 in an exhibition match Friday at the Fox Oval. Quarterback Connor McKee picked up right where he left off last year when he guided the junior Ravens to a perfect 12-0 record and provincial championship. McKee connected with receiver Jason Shamatutu for touchdown strikes on Terry Fox’s first three possessions, with Shamatutu hauling in passes of 47, 42 and 22 yards. Jericho Mendez rambled in for a 30-yard score to give the Ravens a 27-0 lead before the end of the first quarter. Many of the Ravens’ starters began to come out of the game in the second quarter, giving coaches a chance to evaluate some of the team’s depth. Kyle Deugau carried it in from seven yards out to help the Ravens to a 35-7 halftime lead. McKee connected with Adrial Sellers for the only scoring of a sloppy

and penalty-filled second half. McKee finished the day completing seven of nine attempts for 142 yards and four touchdowns, while picking up 28 yards on the ground. Keishon Ross led the Ravens’ rushing attack, gaining 111 yards on 10 carries. Deugau led the defence with seven tackles and two assists, while Brad Peters and Jordan Seney each recorded a sack. Nick Agnoletto picked off a Highlanders pass, with Pedro Vasquez and Mike Beck each recovering a fumble. In other exhibition varsity action, the Centennial Centaurs blanked the Seaquam Seahawks 38-0 in Delta. J . P. Kalambay converted an eightyard pass from Nick Okamoto into a touchdown while rushing another one into the end zone from 55 yards out. J.J. Jackson also scored on a 45-yard reception and J.P. Bridge on a 35-yard run. Okamoto finished the game with 115 yards rushing, while Isaiah Stewart reeled in four passes for 106 yards. Middle linebacker Aaron Borg made nine solo tackles to lead the Centaurs defence that

No. 2 in B.C. AAA football, head to the island this weekend for their final exhibi-

Rams Saturday, with the juniors also seeing action. The Centaurs are scheduled to head

Santucci provides spark for Express attack By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

The Coquitlam Express found their scoring touch Sunday at the Bauer BCHL Showcase. The Express downed the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 9-4 Sunday at the weekend showcase in Chilliwack. Coquitlam opened the season Friday with a 5-2 loss to the Merritt Centennials. “The guys played like we could. Friday we

were nervous and we couldn’t shake it,” said coach Barry Wolff. “We played nervous all game and definitely didn’t play our best. Sunday the guys were more relaxed and played as a team, played for each other and had success.” Joey Santucci, who spent last year with the Prince Albert Raiders in the Western Hockey League, paced the Express offence with a hat trick, while Corey Mackin chipped in two

goals and an assist. Cameron Marks, Daniell Lange, Nicholas Rasovic and Bo Pieper rounded out the Express scoring. “We do have good speed and when we use our speed it’s going to be a huge advantage for us once we learn how to use it properly,” said Wolff, adding it’s not just the Express forwards who are capable of turning on the jets. “Most of our d-men can get around the sheet pretty good.”

Gordie Defiel turned aside 26 shots in his first action with the Express, who led 5-3 after one and 7-4 after two. Defiel, a finalist for the Canadian Junior Hockey League goaltender of the year award last year, was picked up from the Brooks Bandits last week. The Express held a 2-1 lead against the Cents with less than seven minutes remaining but let it slip away after surrendering three

goals in a span of 54 seconds. Rasovic and Lange provided the scoring in Friday’s loss. Pierce Dushenko made 28 saves in the Express net. The Express have named Ryan Rosenthal as the new captain. “From day one he’s been the guy. He’s mature, he’s focused, he looked after the younger guys. He’s been a leader on and off the ice,” said Wolff. “The guys voted on it, and obviously we

have [the final] decision, but it wasn’t even close.” The 20-year-old forward spent last season with the University of Vermont. The assistant captain designation will be rotated among Matthew BerryLamontagna, Ben Israel, Shay Laurent, Santucci and Marc Biega. The Express are back in action Sunday when they visit the defending Fred Page Cup champion Surrey Eagles. “They play on

Olympic ice, so it’s going to be a new experience for a lot of our guys,” said Wolff. In order to get down to the final roster number the Express made a number of transactions late last week. Travis Stephens was moved to Trail in exchange for cash, while Mitch Fyffe was traded to Surrey and Will Cook went to Langley in exchange for future considerations. sports@tricitynews.com

Run comes to Coquitlam Mundy Park will be the site for Sept. 29 race Mountain Equipment Co-op is bringing its 2013 race series to Coquitlam’s Mundy Park. The MEC Vancouver Race Five will head out from Spani Pool starting at 9 a.m. Sept. 29 with five-, 10- and 15-kilometre courses. “We want to show the best run routes in the Lower Mainland and Mundy Park is a well-known training ground for runners,” said Mallory Holmes, outreach co-ordinator

for MEC Vancouver. “It made perfect sense to host a race in Coquitlam which has such a strong run community.” The MEC race series was the first step in the comprehensive running program that includes races, meet-ups and clinics for all running enthusiasts. The races include all the features serious runners expect in a race, yet are still suitable for everyone, from the beginner to competitive racer. “We are looking to offer what is really important in a running event: a sense of accomplishment, a great fitness challenge and

a chance to meet new running partners,” said Holmes. MEC also organizes weekly meet-ups for running and cycling from MEC stores. These meet-ups are free gatherings at stores where members can get tips from MEC expert runners, meet other enthusiasts and go for a run or cycle. The entry fee for the race is $15 and participants can register online at http://events. m e c . c a / eve n t / 7 5 1 7 / mec-vancouver-racefive-5k1015k. All information on the national MEC race series can be viewed at www. events.mec.ca.

Chanelle Prestia scored twice in the second half for the Renegades, with Ava Mongrain converting a corner kick from Alex Hinrichs for the final goal.

ZUCCOLO, Juan Antonio Born August 9, 1945 in Rosario, Argentina. Died on the morning of August 30, 2013 Port Moody. Though cancer took him too soon, Juan lived his life to the fullest. In 1968 he left a large and close family in Argentina in pursuit of adventure, first in Australia and the South Pacific, and eventually settling in Canada, bringing Lilian with him from Argentina. Together they raised a family and ran a business. Though he moved far from Argentina, he remained close with family and childhood friends there. A keen intellect and fixer of anything, Juan had many interests and could debate a wide spectrum of topics, though in later years he settled happily into the role of grandfather. He was proud of his children and grandchildren, and one of his last emails was a collection of photographs of his grandchildren under the heading “Cute As They Come”. His imagination, storytelling, and songs cannot be replaced. Juan is dearly missed by his family in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Argentina.
