School runs raise majority of funds

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The brother of Terry Fox ran with more than 130 students at a Coquitlam elementary school yesterday for the Terry Fox National School Run Day. Fred Fox was at R.C. MacDonald elementary on Thursday to talk

about growing up with Terry and to unveil a school banner to mark 20 years of fundraising for cancer research in the late Port Coquitlam hero’s name.

Last year, the school generated an unprecedented $5,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation, said principal Ceri Watkins.

Around the Tri-Cities — and across Canada — thousands of students this week took part in the annual event, which collects about 60% of the foundation’s revenues per year.

L o c a l l y, s c h o o l s staged a number of activities in an effort to bring in cash for the cause: Coquitlam River

elementary had a student dye his hair pink while another shaved his hair; Kilmer elementary also had student and parent head shaves; and, at Gleneagle secondary, Bruce Moore — Terry’s high school soccer coach and a cancer survivor — rallied the students before their run.

At R.C. MacDonald,

many of the children — including those in kindergarten who had never heard of Terry Fox before — sported stickers on their shirts to show who they were running for or who had been touched by the same disease that took Fox’s life in 1981. see STUDENTS, page 4

The incident took place just after 10:30 p.m. near Johnson Street and Guildford Way when an altercation broke out between four to five people. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said the suspect and the victim knew each other and police are still interviewing witnesses.

“Charges are pending,” he said. “It depends on what we find out.”

The suspect was arrested and police said the investigation is ongoing.

Search continues for former pastor shin Noh, 64, was last seen in Coquitlam on sept. 18

By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

A small fitness centre in Port Moody was thronged with people this week, but no one was exercising.

Instead, everyone’s energy was focused on the search for 64-year-old grandfather Shin Noh, who went missing from his home in Coquitlam the previous Wednesday during what was supposed to be a short walk around the block.

Noh is described as an Asian male, 5’6” tall with an average build, clean shaven with black hair, which is greying on the sides.

By Thursday afternoon, before The News’ deadline, he still hadn’t been found, and those searching were told to look for someone somewhat more disheveled, possibly unshaven, because of his days living in the bush. He was reportedly wearing a green

“I can sleep now knowing that people are out there looking for my dad.” sam noh and blue plaid shirt, dark green pants and a black New York Rangers ball cap.

A Facebook page and website had also been set up by Noh’s son, Sam, to keep track of the search and on Thursday Coquitlam RCMP promised to follow up every lead.

“We are trying to establish the credibility of all the tips, we are basically processing them at this point,” Cpl. Jamie Chung said, noting that two people from the RCMP’s missing person’s team had been assigned to the task of following up about 50 leads,

and RCMP officers from other details may be added as well.

Chung couldn’t say what the police would do if the search continued into the weekend, however, he said Victim Services would be available to help the family if needed.

Vo l u n t e e r s e a rc h teams were combing the region from Coquitlam to Port Coquitlam, taking special care to check out the trails and green belts along the Coquitlam River. Some helpers, like Lynda Stefiuk, were just there to do what they could.“I heard about it on the radio and wanted to help out,”she said.

In an email later, Stefiuk said she joined a team of searchers at Lions Park.

Meanwhile, back at his fitness centre, Sam Noh was fielding questions from reporters, searchers and police and was optimistic that his dad, a retired pastor

Sam Noh, father of Shin, stands with girlfriend Laurie Suchanek at Sam’s business, which is now being used as a search headquarters while people look for the 64-year-old Coquitlam man. of a Korean church in Coquitlam, would soon be found. “I can sleep now knowing that people are out there looking for my dad,” Noh told The News.

Still, it was a heartbreaking scene, as Noh’s smile lifted and fell with every phoned in tip and every rumour that didn’t pan out.

“He doesn’t understand the concept of

money,” Noh told one group of volunteer searchers, after getting a call that his dad may have been spotted with a bike collecting bottles to take to a recycling centre.

According to Sam, his dad enjoyed walking and would often take jaunts to Rocky Point Park and other points around the region before he was diagnosed with

Alzheimer’s, but he continued the fitness regime.

But his fitness and mobility may have made it difficult for searchers to find him as they fanned out across the Tri-Cities.

On his Facebook page, Sam thanked everyone and offered an interactive map with the latest information at shin-noh. ca.

He’s asking people to talk to Noh, if they

meet up with him, and keep him occupied, and then call 911 or Coquitlam RCMP immediately at 604-9451550 and quote file number 2013-27945.

City of Coquitlam to spend millions on sports fields The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam has kicked off an ambitious multimillion dollar program to update some of its worst sports fields over the next decade.

City council adopted a $10-million sports field strategy in July, just after it voted to spend up to $4 million for a new indoor sports court at Dogwood Pavilion.

The 2013-’23 sports field strategy comes as city staff this fall re-open the city’s agreement with School District 43 to consider future costs, access and expectations for shared use.

Of Coquitlam’s 75 sports fields — 42 of which are soccer-sized while 33 are ball diamonds — utilized by 28 organizations, 44% are on SD43 land.

Benefits of sport Learn more about Port Coquitlam’s sports Alliance: page A6 Under the current agreement, SD43 provides the properties (22 for playing fields, 11 for ball diamonds) while the municipality maintains them.

Under the new sports field initiative, which was developed in co-operation with sports groups and the Coquitlam Field Sport Association, Coquitlam has set out a priority list of fields to improve over the next 10 years at a cost of $10.15 million. They are: • 2014 — replace grass with artificial turf at Town Centre North ($2.5 million);

• 2015 — replace artificial turf carpet at Dr. Charles Best secondary ($1 million); • 2016 — replace grass with synthetic/grass mix at Mackin Park North and South ($1.3 million); • 2017 — rebuild a grass field on city-owned land ($400,000); • 2018 — replace artificial turf at Fridge field, Town Centre Park ($1 million); • 2019 — replace artificial turf at Mobilio field, Town Centre Park ($1 million); • 2020 — rebuild a grass field on city land ($400,000);

• 2021 — replace artificial turf at Cunnings field, Town Centre Park ($350,000); • 2022 — rebuild three grass fields on city land ($1.2 million); • 2023 — replace artificial turf at Percy Perry Stadium ($1 million).

According to a city report, there are 16 sports fields in Coquitlam that are up to 19 years past their life span. Among those in the poorest condition are: Mountain Vi e w e l e m e n t a r y (Hartley), Scott Creek middle, Victoria Park, Rochester (Maillard middle), Ranch Park elementary, Miller Park elementary, Mundy Park 3 and 5, and Town Centre Park North and South.

Kathy Reinheimer, Coquitlam’s parks and facilities manager, told The Tri-City News that Town Centre North was

picked first for updating as the field is not only 1.5 times larger than a soccer pitch but, because of its central location, can host other community events.

Currently, as part of its tourism drive under the Celebrate Coquitlam policy, the city is pushing Town Centre Park as its premiere destination site for sports tournaments and festivals. As well, she said, the conversion of Town Centre North to a synthetic turf field would also increase available practice time.

Besides rebuilding sports fields, the new strategy also calls for city staff to look at more participation in sports.

Since 2001, participation rates have dropped overall — from 70 per 1,000 residents to 57 per 1,000 today, which is lower than other cities of the

same size.

The types of sports people are interested in has also changed over the past 10 years in Coquitlam, the report notes: • soccer: up 4%; • baseball: down 34%; • softball/slo-pitch: down 47%; • field hockey: up 402%; • field lacrosse: up 145%; • football: up 7%; • rugby: up 100%; • track and field: down 21%; • cricket: down 7%.

Reinheimer said the new strategy is designed to be flexible to take into account evolving demographics — especially with the aging population — as well as community needs and trends.

For example, sports seasons are now longer than 10 years ago (for soccer, for instance),

participation starts at a younger age and adult activities are expanding for baby boomers. In addition, there is a focus on high-performance and academy training, the report states.

As for the strategy’s $10-million price tag, Reinheimer said it’s doable. Council already budgets $775,000 a year for the sports field program plus $1.5 million in maintenance, although she said the city will be applying for senior government grants to help rebuild the older fields as well as exploring the concept of having sports groups pay (or pay higher) fees for field use.

The 2013-’23 strategy follows the 2002-’11 sports field visioning document, which saw $25 million spent on new infrastructure.

Students continue Fox’s fundraising dream continued from Front Page

Their stickers read “Dad,”“Great Grandma,” “Gramsie,” “Oma” and “Terry.”

Terry“was just like you guys,” Fred Fox told the assembly. “He was just an ordinary guy who

worked hard in sports and at school.”

While at SFU, Fred said his family thought Terry was training for the Vancouver Marathon “but he had something else in mind.”

“Cancer doesn’t just happen to people in B.C. but

across Canada, too,”Terry explained to his mother at the time, Fred said.

Terry’s dream of raising a dollar from every Canadian was galvanized during his epic Marathon of Hope when he arrived in Port aux Basques, Nfld., where the

community presented him a $10,000 cheque, representing a dollar from every resident.

“Terry Fox wasn’t running to become a Canadian hero or to be famous,” Fred Fox told R.C. MacDonald students. “All that mattered

to him was that he was making a difference.”

Fred Fox closed with a quote from his late mother, Betty, who ended her speeches with: “Just like Terry, always set goals and never, ever give up on your dreams.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Alliance to help build connections

By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

The future of sports in Port Coquitlam is entering into a whole new arena.

The Port Coquitlam Sports Alliance was formed last year to develop a vision for the future of sports in the community while at the same time providing a voice to local sports clubs and organizations.

“Having a strong sport culture is part of what drives families and new people to move to an area and to stay in an area. It becomes part of recruitment and retention for an area,” said Ryan Clark, executive director with the alliance. “If you have strong sports clubs, good sports amenities, good sports facilities, people tend to gravitate to that.

If you don’t have it they’ll move 10, 15 miles to the next catchment area.”

Clark said while it’s well recognized that sports improves physical health, the benefits to mental and social wellbeing aren’t always as readily apparent.

“Sport builds up healthy communities, it builds community pride,” he said. “It brings people together, it helps people to meet new friends and new peer groups, it brings

self-confidence and helps keep younger people away from detrimental practices.”

The idea for the sports alliance began in 2010 when a sports summit brought together local politicians and city staff with leaders of sports clubs and school district senior administration.

That led to Clark being hired as executive director last summer, with work on a new centre for sports excellence expected to wrap up later this year.

“They’ve realized that sport is such a very important pillar of a community it shouldn’t just be left to chance.”

Clark has spent much of the past year getting his finger on the pulse of Port Coquitlam’s sports community, meeting with leaders of sports clubs and identifying needs for local facilities.

“Our job as a sports alliance is to go in and work with these clubs to help them thrive, and for each club that’s a little different,” he said.

“When we’re working with the clubs we find out what their needs are for facilities. It’s not just what we need right now but also what’s coming down the pike. Because obviously if you’re doing a capital build it’s

a long-term process.”

One of the more immediate aspects of the alliance has been its work with local athletes.

Clark says he has already helped a handful of student-athletes with their transition to post-secondary institutions.

“We have two of the best schools for high school athletics between Riverside and Terry Fox. And we can help their athletes transition to get into top-tier post-secondary schools. That’s where I can really see us giving added advantage to our student athletes,” said Clark, who previously worked with a sports management agency.

“I’ll sit with them and their families and map out a plan. Where to look, how to do it and manage the communication process throughout. Basically it’s guiding them through this whole process.”

Clark said the concept of the sports alliance is something that’s unique to Port Coquitlam.

“There are sport groups but most are based on sports tourism.

This is different. Growing tournaments and events will be part of this down the road but that’s not the leading driver.The unique part of this is that it’s internal, not external. It is bottom-up, not top-down.”

And Clark said the real benefits of the alliance will begin to be seen later this year with the centre for sports opens at the new Pitt River middle school.

“When that opens you’re going to have a lot of teams training out of there, they’ll have their meetings out of there, they can use the new conditioning room there,” he said. “When you’re going to have a whole bunch of teams having meetings and doing training, that’s going to be exciting. It will be good to see when all those athletes from different sports are going to be around each other.” sports@tricitynews.com

• 51-year-old Kelly felt body pain especially on the neck, shoulder, waist and back every day and night over the past few years. She tried everything and finally came to Acupuncture by a TCM doctor and Acupuncturist Dr. Wang who used TCM technique and Acupuncture to help her and relieve her pain.

Now she is free from the pain and misery and became a happy and healthy person.

COSTCO

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

MLAs’ constituency assistants from across B.C. crowded into the idle B.C. legislative chamber Wednesday to get up to speed on new financial reporting requirements for their office expenses.

Provincial politicians have been working to open up their expense reporting since a 2012 report by former Auditor General John Doyle exposed “pervasive deficiencies” in that and other areas of the legislature’s $70 million operating budget.

The first steps after that report were to begin disclosing MLA expense totals on a quarterly basis, and to begin holding meetings of the long-secret Legislative Assembly Management Committee in public.

That committee met Tuesday and agreed to extend the deadline to begin detailed expense disclosure from constituency offices from Jan. 1 to April 1.

In addition to base p ay o f m o r e t h a n

$101,000 a year and an expense account for travel and accommodation, MLAs receive a constituency allowance of $119,000 a year, mainly for staff and office space.

The committee supported Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan’s motion to make the first detailed report public April 1, covering the period from Jan. 1 to the end of the provincial fiscal year.

MLAs are also preparing to begin detailed disclosure of their personal travel and other expenses.

Expense payments to MLAs include a “capital city allowance,” for which most MLAs who live outside Greater Victoria claim $1,000 a month without receipts.

With receipts, out-oftown MLAs can claim up to $19,000 a year for rent, mortgage or hotel accommodation while in Victoria on legislature business.

MLAs are also eligible for $61 a day for meals while in Victoria on legislature business.

Year-over-year home prices stay flat The reBGV notes five-year pricing has decresed on multi-family dwellings

By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Overall home prices in the Tri-Cities have continued to stagnate over the last year and real estate statistics show that sales of multi-family units may be struggling more than other housing types.

According to stats from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, over the last five years, the average

sale price of an apartment has decreased 2.5% to $244,500 in Coquitlam and 5.7% to $219,000 in Port Coquitlam. Port Moody’s condo values have risen only slightly, increasing 0.5% to $323,700.

Single-family detached homes, on the other hand, have seen remarkable increases during the same five-year span.

In Coquitlam, the owner of a single detached home has seen the value of their property jump 10.5% to $499,000 since 2008 while PoCo’s prices have increased 5% to $394,000 and Port Moody’s have jumped 10.4% to $514,000.

Sandra Wyant, president of the REBGV, said while condo prices have dropped, the value of a home in Coquitlam has actually increased on a per square-footage basis.

In 2006, a home buyer paid an average of $223 per square foot for a home, up more than $100 to $342 this year.

“That increase is more about the types of homes that are being built,” she told The Tri-City News.

“Obviously, they are smaller.”

Overall, prices have remained relatively stagnant in the Tri-Cities over the last year, although the number of sales saw a sharp increase last

month, she added.

In August 2013, 99 single-detached homes were sold in Coquitlam compared to 58 sales during the same period last year, an approximately 70% increase.

Port Moody saw a 100% increase in sales activity, doubling the number of homes from 12 in August 2012 to 24 in 2013.

PoCo also recorded a gain in sales activity, which increased 40%, with 38 homes sold last month, compared to 27 sold during the same period last year.

But Wyant noted that 2012 was an exceptionally slow year for home sales, which could have

The Car Guys You Can Trust!

contributed to the increase in last month’s numbers.

“It was a very slow month for sales in everything,” she said.

“When you look back at this year, we have been mostly a balanced market.”

Across the Lower Mainland, residential property sales reached 2,514, a 52.5% increase compared to the 1,649 units that sold in August 2012.

The total number of properties currently listed in the region totalled 16,027, an 8.8% decrease compared to August 2012 and a 3.6% decline from July 2013.

Garbage costs

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

■ WHAT WE THINK:

A

re you ready for a ban on food scraps in garbage by 2015? The planned ban on organics is a problem that Metro Vancouver politicians are trying to grapple with, weighing the cost of exempting older apartments from the ban and letting private operators that run them to truck their food scraps to a place where it would be separated and then disposed of.

There would be benefits to this; for one it’s an acknowledgement that these buildings don’t have anywhere to handle food waste and another it would stop waste being trucked by private haulers out of the province, which the pols don’t like on philosophical grounds.

There may, however, be another solution. But it is costly: Metro Vancouver just outfitted an older complex it operates with a $30,000 machine that turns food waste into compost. The question is can the region convince people that reducing waste is worth the effort and the money?

MetroVancouver’s pilot in Coquitlam may be a solution but we’ll have to wait and see if it’s the right one.

New West partly to blame for its traffic woes AS I SEE IT Frank Bucholtz The Pattullo Bridge may be with us a lot longer, given the split over what would be the best option for replacing it.

While a majority of Surrey residents polled support replacing it with a six-lane bridge at the same location, most New Westminster residents want a new bridge built between Surrey and Coquitlam. The split between the two cities almost ensures that there will be a deadlock when it finally comes to making a decision.

All of this assumes that TransLink, the owner of the current bridge, would have enough money to replace it. While it has been suggested that a new bridge will be paid for by tolls, that has met strong resistance from Surrey residents, given that there are already two toll bridges from Surrey and Langley across the river – and no other toll bridges anywhere in the province.

A Surrey-Coquitlam bridge, which would come down somewhere near the CoquitlamNew Westminster border, would take away the problems caused by traffic gridlock in New Westminster. However, it would likely shift those problems to Coquitlam streets. It also would mean there would be a need for major changes to Highway 1 exits and entrances – which are undergoing final touches, as the Highway 1 improvement project wraps up.

The TransLink report acknowledges the problems caused by trucks on the Pattullo Bridge. Many drivers use both lanes while crossing the narrow bridge, slowing down all other traffic.The bridge is not built for the long and heavy loads hauled by trucks today, and it would be best to keep trucks off the bridge entirely. But there are trucking-related businesses on both sides of the bridge and no easy alternate routes. When the South Fraser perimeter road is complete, it should make it easier for trucks to cross the Alex Fraser Bridge, which is much more suited to handle large trucks.

While New Westminster residents’ reluc-

IN QUOTES

“A Surrey-Coquitlam bridge, which would come down somewhere near the Coquitlam-New Westminster border, would take away the problems caused by traffic gridlock in New West.” tance to see additional traffic through their city is understandable, their city is at least partially to blame. Major roads such as 10th Avenue have no left turn lanes – thus causing traffic to back up at busy periods when one driver decides to make a left turn.

New Westminster has done little to actually facilitate traffic moving through, and that means that gridlock lasts much longer than it has to.

It’s important to note that New Westminster wanted the Pattullo Bridge built in that loca-

tion in the 1930s. It wanted to capture a lot of business from Surrey and other Fraser Valley communities. Now it wants nothing to do with Surrey residents, and would prefer that they stay out of the city entirely. While many people who commute on that bridge would love to grant the city its wish, it isn’t practical, given the many destinations drivers are trying to get to each day.

One other point in the TransLink report sparked my curiosity. It suggested that the Pattullo Bridge could collapse in a major earthquake, or if struck by a ship.

Has seismic upgrade work that we taxpayers have paid for been so poorly done that the bridge would collapse in an earthquake?

As for ships striking the bridge, there are few large ships that go under the bridge. There are many barges, tugs and smaller craft, and there have been several incidents over the years. But the alarmist rhetoric about the bridge falling down is over the top.

What do they expect us to do?

C

ross border-shopping accounts for up to 20% of Bellingham’s business.

It’s too bad. Cross border-shopping hurts Canadian businesses.

But it’s a bit much to expect beleaguered working Canadians to pay $110 for a tank of gas in Surrey rather than flitting across the border to pay $75 at the Grandview Arco.

Think about what you’re saying, Andy. Is there no end to the sacrifice you expect working Canadians to make?

You want them to accept no appreciable wage increases for years, the erosion of union protection and the 1% getting all the benefits of profits. At the same time, you want them to feel warm and fuzzy about“supporting” big Canadian oil companies owned by Americans instead of big American oil companies owned by Americans?

On the one hand, we’re supposed to be good cutthroat capitalists, with a laissez–faire market without regulation or unions or pensions or a social safety net.

On the other hand, after 30 years of disregard for their earnings and feelings, Canadian workers are supposed to consider the feelings of poor struggling Canadian businesses?

It’s difficult to feel their pain.

No rush of nationalism prods me to pay $1.40 per litre instead of 85

cents or so to American-owned oil companies with no fiscal or environmental conscience.

Besides, we already give them billions in tax incentives and grants, and require from them the lowest royalties in the world.

And beyond extortive gas prices, my great love of country doesn’t extend to paying twice as much to an American-owned big box store in Canada instead of to one in Bellingham.

I don’t mind paying a bit more for goods and services where identifiable taxes, like those on booze, go toward social programs. After all, we do still have some social programs that require funding.

And I prefer to shop locally and support small business whenever possible.The local butcher, barber, baker and produce store needn’t worry. No one is driving to Blaine for an eight-dollar haircut or cheap rutabagas.

Cross-border shopping isn’t particularly virtuous but it’s understandable and defendable.

For Canadian workers, crossborder shopping isn’t a repudiation of Canada or a vote for the American way of life, it’s advantaging a purchasing power that has been continuously stripped from them over the years.

Homeless also deserve help The Editor, I was extremely disappointed to find out that the Heat Shelter in Port Coquitlam will not be opened as planned this fall/winter due to a number of issues.

It’s hard to say exactly what or why this won’t happen because blame seems to be spread around a few areas, the municipal governments, the church and the residents of Port Coquitlam.

The latter reason is why I am so upset.

Apparently there were a number of people com-

plaining that they didn’t want the shelter in their neighbourhood because they were insisting there were problems with crime last year.The RCMP clearly stated this was not the case and yet these heartless people got their way.

I, for one, am ashamed that people could be so narrow minded. I’m also very upset these few people managed to sway city council. The homeless that use the shelter deserve a helping hand, just like anyone else in society. They are someone’s brother, sister,

mother, father or friend and for whatever reason have run into difficulty.

The shelter provides them with a safe, warm and dry place to sleep, a hot dinner, breakfast and a bagged lunch, which is all prepared and served by countless volunteers who donate the food and their time. Why do they do this? They want to help people who are struggling and they are trying to make a difference. They care.

In the past numerous people have received help while at the shel-

ter through the Hope for Freedom Program, and have gone on to be proud, productive members of society. I think it’s time that people stop being so selfish and show some compassion to those less fortunate. When you are in your nice cozy home on a cold rainy night or it’s freezing and -10C, I want you to think about all of those people that you denied a hot meal, warm bed and a roof over their head to.

New Metro sewage plant tab at $560m

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver’s planned new Lions Gate sewage treatment plant won’t include many bells and whistles like a oncemooted wedding chapel.

And the plant replacement project will stop at secondary treatment — not the more advanced tertiary treatment demanded by environmental groups — in the name of saving money.

“There’s no water slides, no wedding chapels,” Metro utilities committee chair Darrell Mussatto said, but added there may be a very large farmable green roof and some public art.

He said the design, picked from three shortlisted options, is “basically finalized” — subject to further public input in the weeks ahead.

And all of the region is expected to share to some degree in the $560-million estimated cost, which is up from an initial $400 million but not as costly as planners had feared.

It’s the first of two big sewage plants Metro must upgrade from primary treatment — basic

screening and skimming — to reduce ocean pollution and meet new federal standards.

The Metro board must still decide how the costs will be apportioned, but staff are proposing that some of it be spread onto taxpayers outside the North Shore and city of Vancouver benefitting area, where sewage fees would otherwise soar by hundreds of dollars.

Mussatto said the proposed design ensures the odour from the new plant will be “totally contained” to protect neighbours in North Vancouver District’s Norgate area.

Georgia Strait Alliance executive director Christianne Wilhelmson, who sits on an advisory committee on behalf of environmental groups, is still pushing for a design that allows future upgrades to more advanced treatment methods and recovery of resources.

“Technology is changing,” she said. “What’s most important to us is eliminating emerging endocrine-disrupting chemicals as well as a broad range of pharmaceuticals.”

Wilhelmson said sec-

ondary treatment recovers at best half of those chemicals, which can change the hormonal development of fish and add to the contamination of marine mammals such as orcas.

“When we’re eating those fish it can have human impacts as well.”

But Mussatto said high-end tertiary treatment that would discharge very safe effluent to Burrard Inlet could have driven the Lions Gate price tag over $1 billion.

“It’s too cost-prohibitive at this point to do that,”he said.

Even at the lower cost using secondary treatment — which Ottawa now requires — Metro is still counting on large senior government grants.

“If we don’t get the federal and provincial cost-sharing we will not be able to build this.”

Metro also expects to pay $1 billion to upgrade its Iona wastewater treatment plant, which discharges to the ocean between Richmond and Vancouver.

The new Lions Gate plant will be in an industrial zone two kilometres east of the old one.

B.C. premier critical of MMBC recycling rollout

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

Premier Christy Clark is criticizing the rollout of a new recycling agency that has caused alarm among municipalities and businesses across the province.

Multi Material BC is slated to take charge of blue box pick-up next May when it becomes responsible for collecting and recycling all packaging and printed paper — at the provincial government’s direction.

“I recognize this wasn’t done well,” Clark said of the planned producer-pay system. “It’s been far too bumpy a ride.

“There is a lot more work to be done.”

The premier spoke to reporters Friday, a day after local politicians at the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ convention passed a resolution demanding more time to negotiate acceptable contracts with MMBC to avert higher costs and

the potential erosion of existing recycling services.

Clark agreed more time and flexibility is needed “so that local communities have a little bit of leverage in trying to put together the best deal that works for them.”

She said MMBC, a stewardship group formed of retailers and other packaging producers, must ensure its board includes British Columbians, not just industry representatives in Toronto.

Mike Klassen, B.C. director of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, urged the premier to go further and “push the reset button” on the entire stewardship program for packaging and printed paper in light of widespread concern.

“Not only is it local government and public sector unions not happy with it, small business has very, very big concerns,” he said.

Any business that puts packaging or printed paper in the hands of B.C. residents and ultimately the waste stream must register with MMBC as stewards.

Some small businesses were unaware of the program until they were warned by MMBC they could face fines of up to $200,000 if they fail to register.

Small businesses are worried about unknown costs and the onerous workload they may face under MMBC’s model, Klassen said.

“Imagine what it would be like for a small restaurant with their name on the pizza box — they have to track all the weight and the amount of paper that they distribute with those pizzas they deliver and remit fees on a regular basis.”

Small businesses have been asked to sign contracts without knowing what the final fee schedule will be, he added.

Results of CUPE strike vote released Oct. 3 eagle ridge members part of rally at rcH

By Mario Bartel Black Press

The behind-the-scenes workers responsible for making and delivering food and cleaning up rooms at local hospitals stepped out of the back corridors to let the public know about their labour dispute with their employer, Aramark.

Members of the Hospital Employees’ U n i o n f ro m R oya l

Columbian Hospital (RCH), Burnaby Hospital and Eagle Ridge Hospital in Port Moody rallied in front of RCH during their lunch break last week to hand out pamphlets and bolster morale as they take strike votes, the results of which will be announced Oct. 3.

Neil Monckton of the HEU said the 4,400 support staff at dozens of hospitals in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast have been without a contract for a year, and they’ve received no wage increase for two years.

Tri-City News Friday, September 27, 2013, A15

Monckton said staffing cuts over recent years have reduced the workforce by almost half. Many of them are women and recent immigrants.

“We can’t keep up with the work,” said Monckton, adding many of the workers are already paid less than unionized hotel workers.

If the workers do return a strike mandate and elect to exercise it, they’ll still have to maintain essential service levels.

That will further increase the strain on services, said Monckton.

Douglas College worked to fine-tune the plan with New Westminster and Port Moody police departments and Coquitlam RCMP. Constable said about six to eight months of research was done before the first draft was created and sent out for review.

And while there are no set guidelines for response times, etc., Constable said the policy “continues to come from a place of best practices.” jroessle@tricitynews.com

Coquitlam’s Douglas College campus completed its first runthrough of a recently developed school lockdown procedure.

Although the likelihood of an armed indidmiraltyvidual Point tearing through the local post-secondary school is exceedingly low, the institution has created a policy that is “robust and reflective of what’s going on,” said Nancy Constable, director of safety, security and risk management.

The procedure, she said, was prompted following the events at Virginia Tech in 2007 when 23-year-old student Seung-Hui Cho, armed with two semi-automatic handguns, opened fire on fellow students and faculty, eventually killing 32 people and wounding 17 others.

The drill went ahead last Thursday morning and Constable was

Items sought for time capsule Port Coquitlam is looking for items to put in a time capsule, set to be buried next month as part of the city’s centennial celebrations.

The capsule will be unearthed in 2038 and organizers hope to collect photographs, writing and art work that depicts the type of community PoCo is today.

A selection committee will choose the entries for the time capsule and winners will be posted on the city website by Oct. 10.

Other entries will become part of a display in PoCo. All entries should include the submitter’s name, address, phone number and email and must be accompanied by an essay, video or powerpoint presentation explaining why their item should be selected.

Flat items, such as artwork may be no larger than 8.5 x 11 and digital items will also be accepted on USB drives or DVDs. Entries can be dropped off in person at the Heritage Centre at Leigh Square between Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 from 2 to 4 p.m. daily or at the Outlet front desk during regular business hours.

Digital entries can be uploaded at portcoquitlam.ca/ timecapsule until Oct. 1. For more information call 604927-8403 or email timecapsule100@ gmail.com.

New webpage to help citizens learn all about the community

The city of Port Coquitlam has created a one-stop webpage that tells residents and visitors all they need to know about the municipality and its services.

The 32-page booklet will replace PoCo’s annual report and is available at city hall and all municipal facilities. It can also be viewed at portcoquitlam.ca/guide.

“We wanted this new guide to be a useful tool that people can reference all year long,” said PoCo Mayor Greg Moore. “It’s

part of our goal to improve customer services.

We want to make sure the community knows what services are available to them and how they can have a say in the decisions that affect these services.”

The booklet is intended to be a helpful resource for residents, businesses, visitors and investors. It includes information about recent city initiatives, PoCo’s history, key statistics, volunteering, Traboulay PoCo Trail, services for

businesses and living green.

It also outlines where tax dollars go and how to access city services, along with important contact information.

“As a city we’re proud of our employees, and we wanted to highlight the people who work behind the scenes to provide our services and help make Port Coquitlam such a great place,” said John Leeburn, the city’s chief administrative officer. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Tara McIntosh and friends have joined Soup Sisters and will be making soup for Tri-City Transitions with the guidance of Boathouse executive chef Chris Beall. The kick off is this Sunday at Eden West Fine Food and Gifts in Port Moody, which Beall co-owns with his wife, Paula.

Event helps nourish those in need Soup Sisters and Broth Brothers are creating a stir this fall to provide soup for women and children fleeing domestic violence at TriCity’s emergency shelter.

This Sunday, Sept. 29, the non-profit organization will host its first soup-making evening under the guidance of Chef Chris Beall, executive chef with the Boathouse Restaurant Group and co-owner, with his wife Paula, of Eden West Fine Foods and Gifts in Port Moody.

Beall said he is looking forward to the soup-making event and the partnership between Soup Sister volunteers and Tri-City Transitions. “The only thing a good chef loves more than cooking is teaching people how to cook like a chef,” he said in a press release.

The plan is for volunteers to make 180 servings of homemade soup on a regular basis for Joy’s Place, run by TriCity Transitions.

This Sunday’s launch marks the beginning of the partnership, in which Soup Sisters works with a commercial certified kitchen to make four different kinds of soup for Tri-City Transitions. The soup will be made in the kitchen of Eden West Fine Food and Gifts.

“The Soup Sisters initiative to help women and children is more than heartwarming it is soul warming, an example of service above self,” says Tri-City Transitions executive director Carol Metz Murray.

STOP HAIR LOSS

Dr. C. Hammoud, Ph.D. recommends: To reduce or stop hair loss for men and women

#77

Super advanced formula #77 Has been used successfully for many years KING SIZE - 2 months supply

With powerful DHT block, the recognized #1 cause of hair loss. Unique combination of ingredients make it a guaranteed superior product. Helps to rejuvenate your hair for a fuller and thicker appearance. Early prevention of baldness for those that have a family history.

Pattern baldness (Androgenic Alopecia) is caused by an oversupply of hormones DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). It damages hair follicles over time unless preventive action is taken. #77 feeds the roots of the hair by supplying them with the best hair nutrient ever discovered. Help for people who are on radiation or chemo therapy or taking other drugs that cause hair loss. Read testimonials on the Bell website with names, phone numbers and email addresses: “My hair has stopped falling out...and my hair looks shinier and healthier.”; “After 30 days use I noticed I am losing less hair!

My hair now looks fuller and the texture has improved.”; “Hair loss was noticeably reduced with first bottle!”; “After using Bell Stop Hair Loss #77 for 2 weeks my hair was not as thin anymore and at the end of the treatment of 2 months my little bald spot on the back of my head was growing over with little hair. This product helped to restore my youthful look.”

Frequent Bathroom Trips?

Helps virtually everybody quickly. The only prostate remedy that works so well that it comes with a money-back guarantee. Literally hundreds of delighted men testifying on our web site: Doctor said to keep on drinking the tea. Prescribed prostate drugs did not help. Leonard Pearcey, Wassis, NB I cancelled my prostate surgery. Get up once a night. I'm so happy not to have to face the torment of a prostate operation and incontinence or impotency. Albert E. Blain, 74, Schumacher, ON Even after TURP prostate surgery and microwave therapy had to get up many times. Now down to 1-2 times. Tea is 100% better than drugs. Robert G. Stocker, Eustasis, FL After 1st year drinking tea my PSA went down to 4.5; after 2nd year to 2.9; after 3rd year to 2.3. I highly recommend the tea. A real life saver.

Thomas M. Thurston, Forsyth, GA. Women suffering with incontinence, bladder infections, UTIs ask for Bladder Control Tea for Women #4b. Guaranteed relief within days.

Stem Cell Activator

Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of self-repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. It does not contain live human stem cells as these can only be transplanted by surgery and are subject to immuno-suppressant drugs to avoid graft rejection. Naturopathic Doctor #63 summarized his experience in writing after using this Stem Cell Activator: Used for all organ and tissue damage, heart attack damage, osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury, muscular dystrophy, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, lupus, spinal injuries, and other diseases and tissue damage. The results have been very satisfactory to us and to the patients and the time varies with different patients depending on the extremity of the damage.

Women witnessing the effects of Bell Stem Cell Activator: Women looking for anti-aging help! We all want to slow down aging. After using a bottle of Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 my skin seemed smoother and brighter. My hair looked healthier. It seems to have a cleansing effect. I’m delighted. Leona McCormick, 50, Clgary, AB All around healing effect! The first thing I noticed after starting Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 was that my skin feels firmer and stronger. My friends commented that my skin looks more vibrant. My doctor at my yearly physical told me that my blood pressure is significantly lower. Many good things are happening.

TRI-CITY SPOTLIGHT: Soccer players score at Legion, Lafarge Lake turns gold

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Twenty-four riders in the annual fundraiser Cops for Cancer stopped by Coquitlam’s Thrifty Foods on Tuesday for a lunch, where store managers also served up $1,000 to the team.

Three families who have children with cancer joined supporters at Coquitlam’s Lafarge Lake last Saturday to light the lake gold. The Sept. 21 event was held in honour of Childhood Cancer Awareness Day.

Members of Fusion — the U15 boys’ team with North Coquitlam United Soccer Club — spent their first Pro-D day landscaping around the Coquitlam Legion building in Austin Heights, pulling weeds, raking leaves and pruning bushes.

Team manager Sussi Passaglia said the Legion has donated in the past to the outfit, which for the last two years has won the district championship.

YOUNG HERO

A 14-year-old filmmaker from Belcarra has reeled in a national prize for her environmental action. Miranda Andersen clinched the 2013 Gloria Barron Prize forYoung Heroes — a $5,000 award given to young people in ANDeRSeN Canada and the U.S. who have made a difference. Anderson has made 10 films on topics such as using less plastics and saving fish habitat.

BUSINESS PROFILE: New children’s party business in Port Coquitlam

Superheroes put kapow in kids’ parties The Tri-CiTy News

It’s a train, it’s a plane — no it’s Supermom coming to the rescue of harried parents everywhere who are racking their brains for a new children’s party idea.

Enter this superhero and Port Coquitlam m o m B r e n n a Duperron, who is starting her business (www. supermomparties.com) while attending Simon Fraser University.

“It is something I got into because of my son,” said Duperron, who comes from an entrepreneurial fam-

ily (her father started Sprott-Shaw College before moving on to other ventures.).

Duperron said she started her business after casting about for a unique party idea for her own son’s birthday. The superhero theme was a hit and she didn’t need Superman’s mental powers or her Spidey sense to figure out she had come up with a winner.

But it took a bit of a push to go from concept to reality and she credits SFU’s Venture Connection (a partnership between Coast

They are not interested in sitting down with the superheroes,” Duperron said, and one of the biggest challenges is finding young adults who have the energy and experience to work with kids in a party setting.

So far she’s depended on SFU students and it helps if they know and understand their character and can think fast on

SOLO District soars above Burnaby with Altus

By Kerry Vital

Appia Developments is reinforcing its reputation for amazing homes with Altus, the second phase in its SOLO District neighbourhood. Altus will be the tallest building in Burnaby at the equivalent of 55 storeys tall, with office space on the first 14 floors and residential from 200 feet up.

“The views start from the bottom (residential) floor,” says Appia Sales and Marketing Manager Lisa Murrell.

With condominium homes ranging from approximately 516 to about 1,700 square feet in a variety of floorplans, it won’t be hard to find your perfect home. Something that sets Altus apart are the choices it offers for three-bedroom units, which is something buyers have been asking for and Appia is happy to be able to provide in the newest phase of SOLO District.

Part of the appeal is the huge amenity space that Appia is calling Club 55 with a barbecue area, full kitchen, media area and billiards and ping-pong tables and generous outdoor deck

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

space for residents of Altus, to be located on the top floor of the tower. The office tower will include a gym that residents have access to as well, and a multi-sport court on the third floor.

SOLO District will eventually be comprised of four residential towers and over 1,400 homes. The community will also include Burnaby’s first Whole Foods, commercial opportunities, office space and tons of green space.

“There are several other exciting anchor tenants to be announced,” says Murrell. “This is a very, very cool community.”

Walkability was one of the more important aspects, Murrell says.

“There’s everything you could possibly need here,” she notes.

“It’s been really well-received by the community.”

SOLO District is perfectly situated for transit, shopping, education and leisure activities. The Brentwood Skytrain station is just steps away, along with Brentwood Town Centre.

Golf courses, parks and fitness facilities are also nearby.

Homes at SOLO District start at $293,900. For more information about Altus and SOLO District, visit www. solodistrict.com or call 604-298-8800.

North Burnaby is a vibrant place full of things to do, from rowing on Burnaby Lake, above, to shopping at Brentwood Town Centre, right. If it’s higher education you’re after, Simon Fraser University, above right, has been rated as one of the top universities in Canada.

North Burnaby a thriving neighbourhood

By Kerry Vital

North Burnaby is a rapidly growing region, with plenty of opportunities for shopping, dining, education and recreation, from golf courses to rowing to swimming. The area is an exciting place to live and is becoming a major urban centre in its own right. Never boring and always busy, North Burnaby is becoming the place to be.

North Burnaby, also known as the Brentwood area, is about 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver via SkyTrain, and about 30 minutes from the Vancouver International

Airport. This contributes to the popularity of the neighbourhood with young professionals; about 39 per cent of the population in the area is between the ages of 20 and 44. Among the notable developers who are building in North Burnaby are Appia Developments, Ledingham McAllister, Bosa Development and Embassy Developments.

It is hard to be bored in North Burnaby, with its selection of parks, art galleries, museums and theatres.

If it’s a bit of culture you’re looking for, you can start up on Burnaby Mountain at the Simon Fraser University Art Gallery. It’s open to the public free of charge and the displays change every few months.

Simon Fraser also houses the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, which showcases artifacts from around the world.

There are several parks in Burnaby, so outdoor activity is never far away.

Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park surrounds the lake. The park includes a dog off-leash area, the Burnaby Sports Complex,

the Burnaby Equestrian Centre and several walking and cycling trails. However, its biggest draw is the lake itself, which has a rowing course for canoeing, kayaking and rowing training.

Confederation Park is also an activity hub, with walking trails, a skate park, a lacrosse box, a running track, a community centre, several picnic sites and playgrounds, baseball diamonds and other playing fields. It’s also home to the McGill branch of the Burnaby Public Library and the Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool and Fitness Centre.

North Burnaby is also full of opportunities for all levels of education.

The largest institution is Simon Fraser University, just a few minutes from the centre of North Burnaby on Burnaby Mountain.

The British Columbia Institute of Technology also has its main campus in Burnaby.

North Burnaby is a well-connected city, with several options for public transportation, walking or cycling if you feel like leaving your

car behind. Because it’s nearly the centre of the Metro Vancouver area, it is easy to get on your way, whatever way you choose.

Food is a necessity of life, and it’s highly likely that shopping is as well. Luckily, North Burnaby has many options for both.

Your first stop for some retail therapy is Brentwood Town Centre, located right in the centre of North Burnaby and well-served by transit, including its own SkyTrain station.

With department stores and smaller shops all in one place, you’ll be able to do much of your shopping in one spot.

North Burnaby is a chef ’s dream, with stores such as Bosa Foods, famous for amazing Italian imports, and Cioffi’s Meat Market and Deli, which offers an array of fresh cheeses, dried pastas, olive oils, premium meats and homemade sausages, among other products. Grocery stores such as Safeway and Save-On Foods are also in the area.

If you’re looking for a night out, there are many options for casual or fine dining as well.

Panthers’ rally falls short in Aldergrove

By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

Th e Po r t M o o dy Panthers got a tough lesson in what it’s going to take to compete against the league’s best.

The Panthers fell 4-3 to the Kodiaks Wednesday night in Aldergrove. The win drops the Panthers record to 1-3, eight points back of the 5-1 Kodiaks who sit atop the Harold Brittain Conference of the Pacific Junior Hockey League.

We d n e s d a y ’ s l o s s comes on the heels of Saturday’s 10-4 shellacking at the hands of the Delta Ice Hawks, who hold top spot in the Tom Shaw Conference with a 4-0-1 record.

“It helps us understand where we are. I don’t see any reason why we can’t be right up there with those guys this year,” said Panthers head coach and GM Jamie Jackson.

Aldergrove jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period and were up 4-1 heading into the final frame.

“We seem to be writing the same story: We

get ourselves in penalty trouble at the beginning of the game,” said Jackson. “They scored three power play goals in the first two periods so that was difficult for us.”

The Cats clawed their way back, pulling within one with nine minutes remaining and keeping sustained pressure in the Kodiaks’ end.

“We had a game plan in the third period and they did a really good job of hunting the game and trying to bring it back and get some points out of it but we just ran out of time,” said Jackson.

“I think that Aldergrove is a team that we can beat, we just have to stay out of the box.”

Daniel Delbianco led the Panthers attack with a pair of goals, with Sammy Zeinab also finding the net.

Delbianco now has five goals and three assists in four games this year to put him in the top 10 in league scoring and leading all defencemen.

“Jordan [Wharrie] and Danny are both super offensive [defencemen] and they’re always thinking to jump in the

rush so it does really help us create offensive situations,”said Jackson.

Wharrie, Kurt Sonne, Adam Rota and Taylor Leger provided the scoring Saturday against the Ice Hawks, who held period leads of 5-0 and 9-1.

“Delta was definitely a snap to attention for us. Things were going fairly well for our group and we all felt pretty confident in the direction of everything and I think we came in there expecting to continue to play the way we had been playing and be in the hockey game and we didn’t rise to the occasion of how good Delta really is,” said Jackson, who sees no reason to hit the panic button just yet.

“If we weren’t getting chances and weren’t able to execute some of the things we talk about in practice it would be a different story.”

The Panthers were in Richmond Thursday night to take on the Sockeyes and will be back in the Port Moody Arena Saturday to face off against the Grandview Steelers. The puck drop is at 7:45 p.m. sports@tricitynews.com

Port Moody duo helps lift sFU Dan FERGUSOn/Black PRESS

A Coquitlam Adanacs U14 player eludes a check from a Langley Thunder defender in Pacific Field Lacrosse action at Willoughby Community Park Sunday. Coquitlam earned a blowout victory.

Renegades off to perfect start The CMFSC Renegades continue their hot streak to open the U12 girls soccer season. The Renegades downed the West Coast Selects 5-1 Sunday in Pitt Meadows for their third straight win.

Olivia Gallina opened the scoring in the first half, with

Christa Tascona following up with a pair, one of them coming off an impressive free kick after a hand ball was called on the West Coast squad.

Alex Hinrichs scored in the second half and delivered a corner kick t hat Ava Mongra in converted into a goal.

Diana Emelianova provided solid goaltending for the Renegades.

In U16 division one action, the Port Moody Redcaps battled to a scoreless draw with the CCB Daredevils S a t u r d ay n i g h t i n Newton.

Lukas Nuessler earned the shutout for

the Redcaps, providing a number of routine stops as well as a sparkling save in the final minutes to pick up Man of the Match honours. Redcaps’ captain Nick On, along with Arash Borairi, Scott Gaudette and Rory McKay, also turned in solid efforts.

A pair of Port Moody players dug deep to help lift Simon Fraser University to its fifth straight win in women’s volleyball action.

Th e C l a n r e e l e d off straight-set victories over the Capilano University Blues and Douglas College Royals Saturday at SFU. Port Moody’s Alanna Chan had 15 digs against Capilano while Helen Yan, also of Port Moody, also hit double digits with 10 digs.

The Clan trailed 5-1 early in the first set but scored eight of the next

12 points to tie the set at nine. The two sides traded points until the set was tied at 16 but from there the Clan took off, outscoring Capilano 9-1 the rest of the way to take the set, 25-17.

SFU never trailed in the second set. Capilano kept things close in the third, with the match tied 11-11 at the midway point, before eventually falling 25-18.

“I thought we had a great team effort consistently throughout the weekend,” said SFU head coach Gina Schmidt. “We used sev-

eral different lineups but whoever was out there played their role and played it well.”

Th e C l a n t ra i l e d only once in the match against Douglas College, coming in the third set when the Royals scored the first point. Chan again led SFU in digs with 15, while Yan finished with seven.

SFU picked up the win by scores of 25-17, 25-17, 25-20 to push their record to 5-1. The five wins already exceeds SFU’s total for all of 2012. sports@tricitynews.com

Cameron conquers ultimate challenge

By Dan Ebenal The Tri-CiTy News

He might not be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but Coquitlam’s Kevin Cameron is reaching new heights in his battle to conquer cancer.

C a m e ro n w i l l b e among those taking part in the inaugural Concrete Hero Ultimate Urban Obstacle Challenge in downtown Vancouver Sunday. The innovative fundraiser will draw thousands of British Columbians to scale massive obstacles and race along Vancouver’s streets and alleyways in support of the B.C. Cancer Foundation and leading-edge cancer research in B.C. Not long after completing the Ride to Conquer Cancer in June, Cameron began training for the Concrete Hero challenge that will incorporate a mix of iconic British Columbian landmarks, which are replicated as obstacles along the seven-kilometre course route.

“The Ride to Conquer Cancer helped me in many ways [to recover] from a very hard battle with cancer,” said Cameron. “I have always been a very active sports-minded person, so as my healing continues in the right direction the Concrete Hero comes along to help me again.”

Cameron was healthy, fit and strong when he was diagnosed with stage four head and neck cancer three years ago.

“My only hope was extremely aggressive chemo and radiation therapy at the B.C. Cancer Agency. The treatment reduced my body weight drastically but it saved my life. To celebrate my two years in remission, I registered for Concrete Hero to test my newly regained strength and more importantly, to raise vital funds for groundbreaking research.”

Cameron will put his new fitness levels to the test by joining hundreds of other British Columbians in the event that will see them leap-

ing over dozens of cars and climbing buses in the “Lions Gate Lockdown”, swinging over the muddy waters of “Lost Lagoon” and climbing nearly two storeys over “The Chief” — all along Vancouver’s streets and alleyways.

The event will end with an urban-style block party.

“The challenges in Concrete Hero provide another vehicle for the B.C. Cancer Foundation to bring positive attention and much-needed funds to their efforts to end cancer. However, more than that, Concrete Hero provides a symbolic connection to the extreme battles a cancer patient and their families must wage,” said Cameron, whose team has now raised more than $55,000 to help conquer cancer and save lives.

Cameron said he no longer feels helpless and the physical activity and positive mental connection to so many likeminded people will help continue to fast-track his healing process.

“So I may fall in some water, get sweaty running an obstacle course, or even take a hit from a dodge-ball or two but I will not stop, not until cancer is no more.”

The foundation reports that more than 24,000 people will be diagnosed with cancer in B.C. this year alone.

“The B.C. Cancer Foundation is on a bold mission to dramatically improve the lives of those diagnosed with cancer by supporting world-class cancer research at the BC Cancer Agency,” said Douglas Nelson, president and CEO of the B.C. Cancer Foundation. “ We designed Concrete Hero specifically to engage people from all walks of life to become heroes in their community by completing a seven-km race while raising vital funds for life-saving cancer research initiatives.”

Longhorns tame wildcats The Coquitlam Wildcat offence got bogged down in the pelting rain and howling winds that swirled across the field Sunday in North Delta. The Wildcats fell 25-0 to the host Longhorns in peewee division football action.

Ethan Shuen led the Wildcat rushing attack that managed to give the defence a breather a g a i n st the s tro ng Longhorn ground game.

Shuen had a strong

game on the defensive side of the ball as well, joining fellow linebackers Keyshawn Dorsey and Dominic BelangerPorta in providing support to the rotating defensive line of Aaron Tung, Ryan Hamilton, Bronson DePaoli, Lucas Price, Zack Kristmanson and Hussein Sabry.

The 2-2 Wildcats return home Sunday to face the New Westminster Orange Hyacks.
