PoCo’s Fox Run route to include overpass, statues

SD43 chair vows board will stick with its back-toschool campaign

By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

As organizers of the Terry Fox Hometown Run get ready to mark the event’s 35th anniversary next year, a new route will be tested this year. And along the new route in Port Coquitlam, walkers, runners, cyclists and inline skaters will pass over a rail yard and see the two local statues of the man who led the Marathon of Hope in 1980, raising millions of dollars for cancer research before succumbing to the disease a year later. see CHANGES THIS YEAR, page 7

School District 43 trustees are staying the course on a public education campaign to urge a resolution to the B.C. public school teachers’ dispute and will post

messages on the district’s Twitter account — and even stand on street corners and wave signs — if a deal isn’t reached soon. The campaign “SD43 putting students first” comes as the Sept. 2 start date for school reopening looms under what appears to be a media blackout for the labour negotiations. Some critics are saying the campaign is not needed and too expensive for a district that

has laid off hundreds of employees to deal with a financial crisis but those criticisms have board chair Melissa Hyndes fuming. “Why shouldn’t it make a difference? Should we wait for other people to take a leadership role?” Hyndes told The TriCity News. “Why not the Coquitlam board of education? We are leaders at the school board. see CHECK, page 3

PoMo/Modo deal brings car sharing to city’s staff Lower cost than mileage, says city By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody city staff will have access to a carsharing vehicle under a new corporate membership with Modo. The arrangement is

part of Modo’s PoMo launch on Friday, with two vehicles to be located in the Inlet Centre area. A third vehicle is expected to be launched later this year. Costs of PoMo’s corporate membership include a refundable $250 deposit, $20 for each of five registered drivers and $6 per hour for the

use of the vehicle. City spokesperson Dave Teixeira said employees who will be using the car-share include everyone from recreation to public works staff who need to get to a survey site, meeting or other destination. “Typically, it would be the people who’d be using their own vehicles in the

past and we’d pay a mileage fee for that,” Teixeira said. “This is a cheaper way of doing that.” The Modo car-share system parks each vehicle in a dedicated parking stall. Members pick up and drop off each vehicle at its home location, allowing users to book a vehicle up to a year in advance.

PoMo’s Modo parking spaces will be behind city hall, at the corner of Knowle Street and Newport Drive, and in Suterbrook at the corner of Morrissey and Capilano roads. The vehicles are also available for public use; to sign up, visit www. modo.coop. spayne@tricitynews.com

The city of Port Moody has opened a corporate membership with Modo car-sharing service so staff can use the cars.

Auto show to pack PoCo Sunday 10th annual event draws thousands to downtown By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

W h e n t h e Po r t Coquitlam Business I m p r o v e m e n t Association held its first car show in 2005, it filled the parking lot at the Shaughnessy Street Safeway. What a difference a decade makes. The 10th edition of the annual event, taking place Sunday, is expected to jam PoCo’s downtown with close to 500 vehicles, attracting automotive enthusiasts from across the region. “It has come a long way since the first one,” said Bruce Richardson, a director with the BIA Car Show. “A few years ago, they were able to convince city council to close the streets down and it has really grown from there.” While the show’s main focus is on the cars, it has evolved beyond its original automotive theme into a large family event. There is a rockclimbing wall, mini-golf, a bouncy castle and a face painting station, and there will be live musical performances throughout the day. But for most of the at-

Rick Leginus, the owner of Port Coquitlam’s R&L Automotive, won last year’s car show with his 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500. Here, he’s shown (above) with a 1961 Chevrolet Impala. Right, the engine and interior of a 1962 Ford Biscayne. tendees, the real draw is the vintage vehicles, Richardson said. Hundreds of cars and trucks will be lined up down Shaughnessy Street, along with about 100 Mustangs, which will be parked on Donald Street as part of Mustang Alley. “People love seeing the old cars,” Richardson

said. “They have way more style. Now, that is all gone. They are more cookie cutter now.” Rick Leginus, the owner of PoCo’s R&L Automotive, won last year’s car show with his 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500. A lot of his clients want the old-style vehicles with the reliability

of a modern automobile, upgrades that he can make in his shop. Leginus spends a lot of his time fixing all kinds cars but he said he can’t get enough of the vintage vehicles. Some of the cars he has been working on recently will likely be making an appearance at this weekend’s car show.

“The PoCo show is my favourite,” he said. “Everybody comes out.” • The 10th annual Downtown Port Coquitlam Car Show will take place Sunday Aug. 17 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information or to register a vehicle, go to www.pocobia. com/events/car-show. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

2-WHEELED TRANSPORTATION

Old cars are not the only form of vintage transportation that will be on display in downtown Port Coquitlam this weekend. The second annual WestCoast BMX Show and Swap will be held at Leigh Square in conjunction with the car show, featuring mostly 1980s BMXs and cruiser bikes. There will also be prizes and giveaways, including a 1982 Diamondback Pacer 500 BMX, along with thousands of dollars in BMX parts and builds. BMX owners still have time to register for the show. For more information, go to www.WestCoastBmxShow.com.

Check hashtag #back2schoolsept2 continued from front page

“The board unanimously supports this campaign because something needs to be said and some kind of pressure needs to be placed on both parties.” Messages were posted starting Monday morning on the district’s Twitter account (@sd43bc) using the hashtag #back2schoolsept2 and more will be done, including a sign campaign, if a deal isn’t reached soon, said the Port Moody trustee. “People are anxious out there. They want to

get their kids in school,” Hyndes said. “It could be detrimental to vulnerable families and vulnerable kids.”

NOT COSTLY

She also disagreed that the campaign is an election ploy as voters go to the polls to elect trustees and city councils on Nov. 15. “The election is a long ways off,” she said, noting that the expenditure for a communications consultant is small, less than a month’s salary, and “well within the budget” because funds are coming out of superintendent Tom

Grant’s budget as he’s currently also doing the job of a communications manager who retired. And there are no plans to buy newspaper ads, contrary to what an SD43 representative told The Tri-City News last week. Instead, she said, trustees hope the media will pick up on the campaign while other districts and parents join in to put pressure on the negotiators. But Dave Ginter, president of CUPE Local 561, which represents SD43 support staff, said he doubts whether the campaign will make any difference to negotiations

that have been virtually at a standstill for several months. “Do these trustees believe the government or the teachers take direction from trustees?” Ginter asked in a letter to the editor (see page 11). Charley King, Coquitlam Teachers’ Association president, took a different view. He said he thinks the trustees’ campaign is more balanced than those of other provincial bodies because it doesn’t put all the blame on teachers. “What I’m really pleased to see locally is the board realizing that

everyone is in the same boat,” King said. “We’re all looking for a way out. We’re all looking for a resolution.”

PARENTS

Chuck Dennison, chair of the District Parent Advisory Council, said he didn’t think the campaign could do much because of the huge barriers to a settlement, including disagreements on how to handle class size and composition before a court appeal is heard on the issue. “I think it’s wishful thinking,” Dennison said. “I’m not sure there’s

CHARLEY KING, CTA

CHUCK DENNISON, DPAC

any real meat in that but I wish the initiative the best.” He said he’ll attend an emergency meeting of the BC Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils, which is concerned school openings will be delayed unless an agreement can be reached by Aug. 25. But Hyndes said that’s

not an issue in SD43, where school buildings are already prepared to accept students and could open immediately, although there may be some concerns about timetables for students who failed a course and couldn’t retake it because the strike cancelled summer school. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Burke Mountain residents and visitors will be detouring off Coast Meridian for another six weeks as crews work on widening the route to four lanes between David Avenue and Harper Road. The project, part of a nearly $10-million plan for northeast Coquitlam arterial road expansion, got underway nearly a month ago, with several trees coming down from the west side of Coast Meridian between Galloway and Millard avenues to make way for the expanded roadway. Mark Zaborniak, Coquitlam’s manager of design and construction, said road widening and sidewalk construction will take place on the west side of Coast Meridian while a 3 m multi-use pathway will be built on the east side, beside the water channel. “We’ll be doing a bunch of work to improve the channel — treating the water before it gets into that creek... and improving it in terms of stability and environmental capacity.” Drivers are being detoured off Coast Meridian at Princeton Avenue and then south down Glenbrook Street. Metal bollards that typically block access at Glenbrook and Princeton are being removed during construction hours to allow for the detour, from Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Zaborniak said that detour will be in place likely for another six weeks but residents can expect additional detours as crews continue work. Zaborniak noted that bus stops on Coast Meridian, north of David, are part of the project design so that road is ready for transit “as soon as TransLink is ready to serve that part of northeast Coquitlam.” Project manager Inner

Gill expects about 75% of the west side of Coast Meridian to be built this year, with the rest of the work running until the fall of 2015. spayne@tricitynews.com

Hometown Run organizer Dave Teixeira said next year’s milestone celebration of the Terry Fox Run is one reason the PoCo route is changing. Volunteers want to make sure the 2015 party draws a bigger crowd to one of the largest Fox run sites in Canada. For the new 10 km route, participants will start at the Hyde Creek recreation complex, then head over the Coast Meridian Overpass and down Kingsway Avenue to Terry Fox Library — location of one Fox statue — then return via a route that will take them to Terry Fox secondary, site of the other statue. The 6 km route will see participants crossing the overpass, circling back and visiting Fox school while the 3 km route will have the crowd turn at Terry Fox secondary. The three routes were approved by the city and emergency personnel this week. Teixeira said studies show traffic on the overpass appears to be low on Sunday mornings and, as a result, one

Rolly Fox speaks before last year’s Terry Fox Run in Port Coquitlam. This year’s event will feature the first major route change in years, including a trip over the Coast Meridian Overpass. southbound lane will be closed for about three hours to manage the crowd. Safety and a more direct passage are also reasons the three routes changed as some past participants got lost, Teixeira said. “The whole idea is to make the route easier.” Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, a former Hometown Run organizer whose father coached Fox at the former PoCo high school in the 1970s, said the committee’s goal is to give “a

safe and meaningful running experience while providing them with a variety of distance options.” “Runners can opt to go past the Terry Fox

high school — where the school spirit is on display — and the Terry Fox Library as well as going over the Coast Meridian Overpass.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

Tri-City crime hot spots Coquitlam Mounties have identified two TriCity neighbourhoods that have seen an increase in property crime in the last two weeks. According to the detachment’s CompStat numbers, released last week, the area bound by North and Clarke Road in the west, Robinson Street in the east and Foster Avenue in the south has seen an uptick in home break-ins. The suspects are mainly targeting houses and base-

ment suites, and access is usually gained through a window. The neighbourhood has also seen an increase in thefts from vehicles, particularly overnight between Thursday and Saturday. Port Coquitlam has also seen a rise in vehicle break-ins in the neighbourhood bounded by McCallister Avenue, Pitt River Road, Shaughnessy Street and Mary Hill Road. The CompStat data

found that most incidents were occurring ove r n i g h t b e t we e n Sunday and Wednesday. Break-ins to vacant residences were also found to be occurring on Sunday mornings. The Coquitlam RCMP releases the highlights of its CompStat crime data every two weeks. For tips on how to protect a home or vehicle from break-ins, go to coquitlam.rcmp-grc.gc.ca and follow the links.

Fish guts bring danger The dumping of fish entrails near a popular Port Coquitlam walking trail was an accident waiting to happen, says a resident. The slimy pile of fish heads, tails and eggs was dumped next to some blackberry bushes at the end of Patricia Avenue near a trail early Monday morning and Roy Reinmuth was concerned it could attract bears. “Imagine there’s a sow and two cubs, and somebody walks or rides by and startles them,” Reinmuth said. “It’s really a dangerous situation.” City crews cleaned up the mess a few hours later and a spokesperson said bylaw officers will investigate and follow up with enforcement. Anyone with information about this or other bylaw infractions involving bear attractants can email bylawservices@portcoquiltam.ca or call 604-927-5440. Requests for clean-up can be emailed to operations@ portcoquitlam or by phone at 604-927-5496.

Cops seek Tacoma in hit & run By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam RCMP have identified the make and model of the vehicle they believe was involved in a serious hitand-run collision on the Mary Hill Bypass on July 31. Police said last Friday it was likely that cyclist Bruce Rickman was struck by a 2007 or 2008 Toyota Tacoma with black side-view mirrors, an after-market canopy, a dark bug screen and an access or double cab. Investigators were able to determine the type of vehicle based on witness accounts and pieces of the truck, including the mirror and bug screen, that were left at the scene. Cpl.

Frewing told reporters the family wishes to be left alone at this time. The collision occurred just before midnight on July 30 on the Mary Hill Bypass, just north of Kingsway Avenue in Port

Coquitlam. According to police, Rickman was riding home from work on the east shoulder when he was hit from behind by an SUV.

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

he Kwikwetlem First Nation has some healing to do after recent revelations about Chief Ron Giesbrecht’s hefty economic development payment that took many band members, and the wider community, by surprise. But while some Tri-City residents may have concerns about the $914,000 in pay plus the $16,574 in expenses Giesbrecht earned in 2013, the fact is, it’s really none of our business. True, taxpayers’ dollars funded much of this remuneration package but most of the funds came from a 10% economic development payment from an $8.2-million land deal with the provincial government. And from what we now know, the payout to the band is above board and part of the government’s due diligence on land with potential claims by First Nations. As part of its duty to consult with the Kwikwetlem before selling off 584 acres of Crown land on Burke Mountain, the province paid the band $8.2 million in “economic development benefits” and Giesbrecht’s cut as economic development officer was about $800,000. That 10% bonus structure has now been terminated and a new economic development company is being established with an independent board of directors. This may relieve some band concerns and it’s now a moot point as to whether all Kwikwetlem band members knew about the land deal in advance or approved the chief’s payment. As interested as we may all be in these developments, and sympathetic to band members who claim not to have known about this deal, the chief’s remuneration — whether large or small — is an internal issue for the band to sort out. We can only hope the Kwikwetlem will use wisely the financial benefits owed to them by claim, entitlement and legal precedence. If it wasn’t for the new First Nations Financial Transparency Act, which has been roundly criticized by some native leaders, the band’s financial situation would never be known — to members or anyone else. For that, we have to credit the federal government. As for what the Kwikwetlem will do next, it’s up to the band to decide. But with a large and growing bank account, and recent rumblings about claims on the Riverview lands, we have not heard the last from this small group.

ALR and farm changes are a great leap forward BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA he B.C. government’s intentions for the Agricultural Land Reserve have been clarified by a public consultation that proposes new commercial and industrial uses on farmland. Political watchers may recall that this was the hill the NDP was prepared to die on this spring. It was going to be a farmland looting spree for right-wing property developers and all hope of“food security”would be dashed. As I attempted to explain at the time, the changes have little or nothing to do with ALR exclusions. Now, a discussion paper poses a series of questions, some of which illustrate the need to bring farmland regulations up to date. The first one deals with restrictions on retail sales, a case study in arbitrary state control. There is a strict maximum floor space. A

minimum one half of retail sales must be produced on that farm. Food packing, preparation and processing are similarly restricted. This requires multiple duplicate operations of questionable viability. (And it brings to mind Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap Forward, where farmers all had little iron smelting furnaces out back to make tools. But I digress.) “Amongst other things,”the discussion paper says,“lessening the restrictions on on-farm processing could allow the establishment of abattoirs (large, small or mobile) on farms, to serve surrounding cattle, game or poultry farms.”Then there’s cheese, fruit juice and even medical marijuana products. And did you know that wineries and cideries are allowed on farmland but breweries, distilleries and meaderies aren’t? (Mead is made from honey and doesn’t have to be drunk from a bronze mug while wearing a horned helmet.) Now that we’ve discovered breweries don’t have to be giant urban industrial plants producing mediocre lager that all tastes the same, possibilities abound.

Injured in a car crash?

No need for District 43’s school strike campaign The Editor: Re. “SD43 launching own back-to-class push” (The Tri-City News, Aug. 8). Why would School District 43 trustees hire a consultant to duplicate the work their provincial organization is performing? The district pays dues to the BC School Trustees Association to perform such tasks on their behalf. There is no need to provide awareness to the public that there is a labour dispute between the provincial government and public school teachers. Both local newspapers have done a fine job providing updated information. Do these trustees believe the provincial government or the teachers take direction from trustees? The final deal will be negotiated at the bargaining table, which is taking place right now. If the trustees were going

to run a campaign, it should be done by their own staff and probably earlier in the summer, before talks resumed. Imagine running a campaign without knowing the costs or providing the costs to the taxpayers. Is there really a concern that big box stores are worried about selling school supplies? At least Coquitlam council did its part weeks ago at no cost. I wonder how the advocacy campaign, started months ago to meet with the government, is going. There must be an election on the horizon. Dave Ginter, president, CUPE Local 561

RUN ITS COURSE

The Editor, The impasse between B.C.’s public school teachers and the provincial government will never truly be resolved unless and until it runs its full course. Either the

government is brought down or the union folds — one way or the other. It’s called a strike or lockout, take your pick, but it has to run its course. A legislated settlement or binding arbitration didn’t work before and won’t now. The distrust, the name calling, the diseased schools and unhappiness would just continue and we’ll be back at square one when the contract term runs out.

We have the knowledge, experience and resources to successfully advocate for you against ICBC.

Neither side can apparently capitulate. It is do or die. Unfortunately, neither the BC Liberals nor the NDP apparently has the answer so it must be the teachers that do — but, wait, do we get to vote for them? Ah, so that won’t work. They can’t negotiate with themselves. The unfortunate thing is that the bruised and bloody lying by the side of the road are called students and they don’t even have a voice. Too bad. Maybe our first graders could teach both sides something about civility. George Elgstrand, Port Moody

MLA LINDA REIMER

MLA SELINA ROBINSON

MLAs’ pay days detailed The Tri-Cities’ four MLAs took in more than $116,000 in combined remuneration this past spring, according to the quarterly statements released last Thursday. The disclosure documents show BC Liberal Doug Horne (CoquitlamBurke Mountain) earned the base salary of $25,395 for April 1 to June 30 plus another $8,888 for his role as deputy speaker. His BC Liberal col-

league in Port MoodyCoquitlam, Linda Reimer, received an additional $3,809 over the base salary for her executive roles. In the riding of Port Coquitlam, NDP MLA Mike Farnworth earned $2,596 above his base wage for his parliamentary position as house leader while NDP colleague Selina Robinson (Coquitlam-Maillardville) had no additional salary over the $25,395.

For accommodations, per diem and travel expenses for the quarter, Horne claimed $11,892, Reimer $9,208, Farnworth $9,208 and Robinson $9,230. As well, running their constituency offices cost a total of $121,428 for the three months, with Horne reporting the highest amount of the four MLAs at $35,757. His filing reveals he spent $29,856 for office administration

in the quarter plus $1,759 for special events, $2,249 for communications and $1,445 for office supplies. The annual budget for MLAs’ constituency offices is capped at $119,000.

Cahoon to run in Coq. Setting it straight A Coquitlam bookkeeper and piano teacher with two children in the school system is running for school trustee in this fall’s board of education election.

and will stress openness and accountability if elected. Her previous education experience includes working with her school’s parent advisory council and serving as the chair and liaison for the Coquitlam Montessori Society. Civic elections will be held on Nov. 15.

Re. “SD43 launching own back-to-class push” (The Tri-City News, Aug. 8).

Recognizing cyberbullying According to Cyberbullying statistics from the i-SAFE foundation, more than half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have engaged in cyberbullying. More than 80 percent of teens use a mobile phone regularly, making it the most popular form of technology and a common medium for repeated cyberbullying. Cyberbullying takes place through electronic technology and differs from traditional forms of bullying. Cyberbullying can occur via text messaging, blogging, updates to social media sites and/or phone conversations. What makes cyberbullying more difficult to detect and remedy than traditional bullying is that sometimes this type of bullying is veiled in secrecy. Those who engage in cyberbullying can create aliases and accounts under false names, allowing them to covertly engage in bullying behavior. As a result, tracking down bullies can be challenging. Although cyberbullying is on the rise, there are some things that parents and children can do to help put a stop to such unfortunate instances. • Parents who feel their child is not emotionally ready for the responsibility of a digital device can hold back on purchasing a smart phone or choose one with very limited features. Some schools set strict limits on phone usage at school, and children who go only from school to home and vice versa may not have the need for an “emergency phone” that can open up a window for trouble. • Adolescents and teens should feel comfortable talking with their parents without the fear of reprimand. Otherwise, they may hide instances of cyberbullying or not know how to broach sensitive topics like bullying. Parents can engage in conversation with their children often and stress that the doors of communication are

• Parents can monitor and limit their children’s personal

accounts. Some smartphone and tablet applications can be mirrored on the main account, enabling parents to see incoming text or video messages.

Survival tips for single working parents

*Bring this ad in and receive ONE FREE drop in!* Register now for the

Becoming a parent may be the most important responsibility an adult ever faces, and that responsibility is even greater for single parents. Balancing work and home life as a single parent can seem like an endless juggling act. But with a strong support system and some guidance, single parents can handle the challenge. Here are some of the challenges and coping mechanisms. * Establish boundaries. Work and home life are both full-time responsibilities for single parents, and the line between work and family life often blurs for single parents wondering whether to put in more hours at the office or leave to tend to a family matter. Thanks to the financial strain of being a single parent, it’s easy to put work before family. While single parents do their best to provide financially for their families, such efforts should not come at the expense of being there for their kids and providing them with emotional support. Find a balance that works for you and do your best to stick to your boundaries. Work time and family time should be clearly distinguished.

• Pick your battles. You probably will not be able to

micromanage every detail of your home and professional life, so recognize which things in life are worth fighting for and which things (kids’ hairstyles or clothing choices) may just be a phase. Let trivial matters slide, as there may be more important affairs that demand your attention.

• Find your support system. Many single parents juggle their responsibilities without much help from outside their households, but many also have a network of friends or family members on whom they can call if they need reinforcements. Figure out which person or people you can rely on to have your back should you need a few hours of alone time or someone to pick up a sick child while you are in the middle of a business

meeting. Single parents often feel a kinship with other single parents, who may be willing to pool their resources to help one another when necessary.

• Explore other assistance. Single parents may be eligible to enroll in certain assistance programs to make their lives a little more manageable. For example, single parents may qualify for grants to return to school or low-cost housing and supplemental food allowances to ease some of the financial burden of raising a family on their own. Explore programs that may be available to you. • Pay attention to your needs. Single parents should

not overlook the importance of taking care of themselves. Though kids might be your top priority, that does not mean you should forgo routine health screenings or overlook the importance of getting your rest. When the juggling act gets especially difficult and stressful, create some time to relax and pamper yourself, which can have a profound impact on your mental and physical well-being.

I remember being most excited for the fall because it meant sport team tryouts followed by weekend tournaments and sporting trips. My parent’s weekdays were now centered around getting me from school during the day to practice at night, followed by numerous weekends at the park, cheering me on. They saw that I was enjoying myself so they continued to look for ways to keep me involved in sports. Today, we are seeing more and more kids participating in organized sporting events; But with this increase in participation comes an increase in potential injuries. As adults, we often are amazed at how much our children can do, and often think of them as resilient. I mean after all, they bounce back a lot quicker than we do. But in fact, the rigorous training schedules that are required in some of these sports can be potentially harmful to a growing child or teenager. Proper nutrition and body conditioning, coupled with chiropractic care can play a key role in keeping our kids healthy while they play their sport. Many might say “But why does my child need chiropractic care when they aren’t hurting?” But in fact, pain is often the last signal that our body sends out when something is wrong. By the time we feel pain, the underlying problem may have persisted for some time.

(Inside the Meridian Village Housing complex)

nervous system works, the better our athletic performance, and the less likely your child is to get injured. As a young athlete myself, I suffered many aches and pains during my teenage years, many of which were said to be “growing pains” and that they would all go away as I got stronger. Fast forward 10 years and I was then faced with the decision of giving up my sport because of all the prior stress I had put on my knee. The importance of preventative care for our young athlete is imperative if we want our children to grow into happy, healthy and active adults.

So if your child is complaining of pain, but has never had any trauma, have them checked by a chiropractor.

The nervous system is the master system of the body and its job is to controls the function of every cell, including our muscles and joints, which we need to run fast, jump far or throw a long pass. The role of our spine is to house the nervous system and give it protection. If any of the bones in your child’s spine aren’t moving properly, this can place unwanted pressure on the nerves causing interference in the nervous system. This means that the messages being sent and received are not properly transmitted. So what’s the final result? Our muscles and joints are not able to adequately adapt to the new stresses being put on the body and the system fails; Or simply put, injury occurs.

2014 Downtown PoCo Car Show S U N D AY, A U G U S T 17 t h , 2 0 1 4

10 Years and We’re Just Warming Up!

n the third Sunday of August each year the generally calm streets of Downtown Port Coquitlam come alive with the sights and sounds of the annual Poco Car Show. This year the show has a little something extra in the tank as it gets set to celebrate 10 years of entertaining and exciting the participants and attendees that come each year. There have been many additions to the show over the years such as the children’s play area, Builder’s Showcase and popular Mustang Alley. This year is no exception as the night before we will debut our first Car Show Cruise that will begin at the Rec Centre and guide participants through this and surrounding cities ending up at the bandstand at Leigh Square for

a dinner and dance that is open to anyone that wishes to come out and have some fun. Sunday as always has something for everyone like the finals for the BC Strongman Competition that sees the winner advance to the regionals, an Electric Car Display outside the Heritage Centre (sponsored by Vancity who incidentally have a charging station at their Station Square branch), Wheels in Veteran’s Park features 20 vintage classics from the BC Thunderbird Club, and for the young at heart we have Rock Climbing, the Tumble Bus and Mini Golf in the Kid`s Zone. There is also a fantastic musical line-up on the main stage featuring local bands The Reprise, Nightshift and Inner Wild, Hit Zone and the coverband U4, who will play Sunday evening ’Til The

PoCo Car Show Sunday, August 17th, 2014

Car Show Etiquette $

ike anything, the average car show is typically populated by denizens of the car culture. As such, most show goers know the few unspoken rules about attending such a display of automotive excellence; however, there always seems to be a few folks in the crowd that, being new to the hobby or “culture,” haven’t quite grasped those aforementioned rules in their entirety. So, in the interest of maintaining the show going peace, here are a few cardinal rules about admiring another’s machinery: Don’t let go of your offspring. Sure, they may appear cute and cuddly, but the second they slip from your grasp, chances are good havoc will ensue. Ranging from horrible incidents involving suede interiors and ice cream or simply annoying handprints on freshly waxed flanks, the catalogue of calamities that have resulted from free range children at car shows is too long already, and doesn’t need any more entries. Don’t let go of your dog. Predators by nature, dogs have been equipped with more than a few anti-car weapons by mother nature. Be it by shedding hair all over interiors, or scratching fresh paint with their claws, your dog is a veritable wrecking ball just looking for a target. Don’t touch. It sounds simple, and it is… and yet we’re still amazed at the number of touchy feely people out there. Sure, poking a seat may not seem all that harmful, but consider that doing so requires the unthinking gesture of leaning, and leaning usually involves touching, and touching leaves fingerprints. And after spending possibly days cleaning and prepping a car for a show, fingerprints are the bane of most car owners’ existence. Keep cigarettes, food, and drink away. While the reasoning behind food and drink may seem obvious, it’s often ignored, and with fatal results. No situation illustrated this better than the infamous engine inspector/ice-cream cone eater we observed

who, in leaning over to inspect the firewall, ended up depositing two scoops of rapidly melting tin roof sundae into the venturis of the exposed Holley carb. Likewise, getting the odour of cigarette smoke out of an interior is costly and time consuming. Consider your wardrobe. Feel like pulling that old, ratty, beer-stained Winternationals t-shirt out for the local show and shine? Be our guest. Kurt Cobainstyle ripped jeans? A-Ok. Speedo? Sure, whatever. Steak Eating Champion of ’06 belt buckle? No. Hard parts like belt buckles, watch straps, bracelets, and even shirt buttons and jean rivets can inadvertently scratch paint, so be wary about what you wear. Save your opinion for later. All too often we’ve seen show goers lambaste a car owner’s decision on everything from carburetion to fuzzy dice colour while standing mere feet away. Not only disrespectful, it’s downright rude. Instead, save your criticisms until you’re at least a few feet away. After all, you never know who the owner is… Be respectful when you leave. Yeah, we get fired up about car shows too, but gratuitous burnouts en route to the exit is never a good idea… if only because the police are usually watching. Enjoy the show!

PNE STAGE

Port Moody triple threat Julia MacLean, 12, left, will return to the PNE Star Showdown stage this year, hoping to clinch the provincial title that was won in 2013 by another young talent from Port Moody: Tyson Venegas. This past spring, MacLean, a student at Moody middle and the Lindbjerg Academy of Performing Arts, starred as Annie in the 25th anniversary production of the Royal City Musical Theatre. MacLean is in the Showdown semi-finals’ kids division on Saturday with singer Emma Leblanc, 12, middle, of Anmore. The pair will perform between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. Meanwhile, on Sunday between the same times, Brianna Carniel, 14, of Port Moody, right, will sing in the youth division. The finals will happen on Wednesday, Aug. 20.

Mehndi with a modern touch By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

azil Kara holds her daughter’s arm still as she starts to gently squeeze henna paste from a coneshaped plastic tube. Quickly, with short strokes and dots, the Port Moody woman paints an intricate pattern on the teen’s hand, a typical design she has done so many times before at special events, bridal and home parties and by appointment at Kast Hair Studio. The traditional body art that uses the dye from henna leaves has become a common sight these days, worn not just at south-Asian festive occasions but also by women of all ages and cultures who want to show off the lovely, temporary tattoos. Kara, who will be teaching a mehndi art workshop for beginners this month at the Port Moody Arts Centre, started to use henna dye while growing up in Kenya. As a child, she would smooth henna paste over her hands and place socks on top to let the dye darken overnight.

college and created her own style, mixing Indian paisleys and peacocks with bold Arabic symbols.

Now, Kara is known for adding a touch of modern glamour to her work, popping the henna hues with glitter and rhinestones. “It’s popular for special events,” she says, pointing to a photo shoot of a model with blue intertwined in her arm’s mehndi design. Kara is proud of her artistry and takes care in noting the natural properties that can be found

in her henna paste. She imports the powder and dilutes it with a dark tea water. Next, depending on the event, she adds essential oils such as tea tree, lavender, clove or eucalyptus. And, after it’s applied, a lemon-sugar solution is dripped on the mud to set it. The paste is then left to dry on the skin — usually on the hands or feet, which are the warmest

parts of the body and have the most energy — for four hours (Hindu and Muslim brides-to-be tend to have the henna paste on for eight hours for a dark colour). Finally, when the mud is rubbed off, the deep orange decoration is revealed and, through oxidation, darkens further. Kara said she’s heard from many clients about see THE FINE, page 22

When Damara Jacobs-Morris took on the new role of youth mentor at the Port Moody Arts Centre this summer, her goal was to get students out of their comfort zones. Some were good in one medium but she encouraged them to explore other art forms, too: from mixed media collage and painting to sculpting and drawing. Her aim was for students to build their portfolios that showed a range of talent — something that’s essential as they apply for future jobs in the arts industry. “It’s so important that artists be well-rounded these days,” said Jacobs-Morris, who has worked with the Ferry Building Gallery, the UBC Museum of Anthropology and the Britannia Community Centre as well as the Smithsonian, and currently has a public relations and consulting group. “People want to see that you can do more and are flexible enough to try new things.” For the PMAC mentorship course, Jacobs-Morris used her curriculum from a program she had developed as a master’s degree student at the University of Arizona in Tuscon.

sual cultural department, she worked with third and fourth graders for 10 weeks, helping to nurture their artistry. Last month, JacobsMorris had three PMAC students under her wing who, at the end of their two-week intensive, presented what they had learned at a curated show. “They did so well and they were really pleased

with the results and how far they’d come over the 10 classes,”she said. Next week, PMAC will have another intake for its mentorship program — running from Aug. 18 to 29 — and applications are now being accepted for emerging artists aged 11 to 15. Jacobs-Morris said the program is especially useful for teens who want to collaborate — another strength needed for their careers.

“As a professional artist, you’re going to have to learn to work with others,” she said. “That’s just part of how it works these days. Partnerships are the key.” • Students are asked to bring a sketchbook and an HB pencil (all other supplies are included).

COURTESY OF CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

Marine life concerns for Roy By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Diane Roy’s first retrospective that opens tomorrow (Thursday) in Port Coquitlam will show a range of fibre arts. But her theme about how the environment is being harmed remains as constant today as when she started to ply her trade more than 30 years ago. “I just find it deplorable,” said the Surrey

the healing properties of the paste and its application. “They like the smell. They like to just sit back and savour the whole experience. It’s almost like a spa effect for many of them,”she says. Still, Kara cautions against black henna, which has the opposite qualities of traditional mehndi because it contains chemicals and can permanently damage the skin (Kara has a warning about black henna on her website at hennavancouver.com). • Th e Po r t Moody Arts Centre’s henna art workshop runs for 2.5 hours on Sunday, Aug. 24, starting at 1 p.m. Participants are asked to wear old clothing as the henna may stain.

artist, whose home overlooks the Fraser River. “They are still fishing the way they were back then and the species are disappearing.... it’s kind of alarming this is still happening.” The Quebec native started as a professional artist dabbling in painting and sculpting before settling on the fibre arts in the late 1970s. The medium “kind of talked to me,” she said, and not having a studio, it was easy to pick up

textiles and create knots, weave and crotchet while on the road. “I ended up developing my own technique,” Roy said. These days, Roy uses mostly recycled materials — threads, yarns, commercial fishing nets, willow branches and foil paper, for example — in her marine life pieces. And she finds peace in toiling away at her craft. “I get into this feeling of meditation and happiness. It’s a wonderful

place to be in.” • The opening reception for Diane Roy’s retrospective is Aug. 14 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village (beside Port Coquitlam city hall). Her exhibit runs until Sept. 22. Meanwhile, Roy will also host free demonstrations this month at the Port Coquitlam Farmers’ Market on Thursdays from 3 to 7 p.m.

Adanacs headed to another Minto Cup Avalanche of A’s offence wipes out the Calgary Mountaineers By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Any life that was breathed into the Calgary Mountaineers after last Saturday night’s victory in the Western Canadian Finals was snuffed out 24 hours later by the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs. But the Alberta club wasn’t about to give up on its chance at a Minto Cup visit without a fight. The visitors took a three-goal lead in the

Team B.C. dominated the competition in the midget division of the 2014 Lacrosse Nationals in Coquitlam and New Westminster this week. Meanwhile, the peewee club and the bantam team brought home second place banners in their divisions.

B.C. midget squad wins nationals By Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

The west is the best — at least when it comes to midget lacrosse. Team B.C. trounced the competition during last week’s 2014 Lacrosse Nationals, hosted by Coquitlam and New Westminster, finishing the week with an unbeaten 7-0 record and a blistering goal differential. The local squad managed to net 105 goals over the course of the tourney, while only allowing seven. B.C. bulldozed its way through the tournament, taking down New Brunswick 15-0 in

the first game, followed up by a 15-1 win against Team Manitoba. The only team to put up more than one goal against B.C. was Alberta, who still lost the third game of the tournament 17-2. A 16-0 win over Saskatchewan followed up with a 15-0 win over Quebec set the stage for the final match against Alberta on Saturday. Jake Campbell and Ryan Martel both received hat tricks for B.C. in the final game of the tournament, while Liam MacDonald, Quinn McKitrick, Clark Walter, Robert Kidd, Jake Kendall, Mackenzie Rope and Matthew

McIlwrick also factored into the scoring. But the midget squad was not the only B.C. team to have a strong showing at the national contest. The Team B.C. bantam squad finished the tournament with a second place banner after going 5-2 during the roundrobin play. Team Ontario bested the B.C. club 5-3 on Thursday before winning the last game of the tournament 5-4 on Saturday. The final match was a nail biter for fans at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Team B.C. jumped out to a strong lead in the first

period, with goals from Jake Cantlon, Connor Wilson and Finn Stark. H o w e v e r, Te a m Ontario continued to chip away at the lead, potting two goals in the second before scoring two unanswered tallies in the final frame. The peewee Team B.C. squad also took home a silver medal. The team defeated Nova Scotia 18-1 in the first game of the week, before trouncing New Brunswick 16-0 in Game 2. However, the team could not sustain its dominance during matches against Ontario, the club that dealt B.C. both of its losses.

However, Coquitlam was able to respond with three unanswered goals of their own, with Tyler Pace, Erik Klein and James Rahe all finding the back of the net before the first 20 minutes came to an end. A second goal from Calgary’s Goodwin in the second gave the lead back to the visitors for about 14 minutes, however Eli McLaughlin was able to tie things up followed by a go-ahead goal from Rahe.

The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs will take on the Six Nation Arrows in the Minto Cup this weekend after defeating the Calgary Mountaineers in the Western Canadian Finals.

Coquitlam Adanacs take down the Mountaineers continued from page 23

McLaughling made it 6-4 for Coquitlam, while Rahe rounded out the hat trick to widen the gap to three goals early in the third. But Calgary wasn’t finished yet. Mountaineer Patrick Henry, who had been quiet for most of the game, made it 7-5 after Coquitlam took a penalty in the third. He scored his second of the game with 45

seconds on the clock, making for a nail biting finish to the third as the visitors scrambled to force overtime. However, Calgary f a i l e d t o eve n t h e score and when the final buzzer sounded Coquitlam had won the fourth game 7-6, punching their ticket to a Minto Cup showdown this weekend against the Six Nation Arrows. Coquitlam took the first game of the series

on Thursday when they defeated the Calgary Mountaineers 14-7 and followed up with a 13-6 win on Friday. Calgary squeaked out a 9-8 victory in the best-of-fives series on Saturday. • The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs will take on the Six Nation Arrows in Game 1 of the Minto Cup on Saturday, Aug. 16, at 8 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre.

SPONSORS

The Port Moody Panthers are welcoming five new players to the ranks for the 201415 season. Fo r wa r d E v a n Gain leaves behind his Port Coquitlam Juvenile A1 team in the PoCo Minor Hockey Association for “the opportunity to grow and learn how to better my game on and off the ice,”he said. Fe l l o w f o r w a r d Keito Lee comes to PoMo from the Surrey Midget A1 group. Ron Johnson, director of hockey development, said Lee brings speed and deception to the Panthers’ line-up. “He is an extremely hard worker with a dedication to improvement,”Johnson said. Leaving the Burnaby Winter Club Midget A1 team is forward Eric Malli, who will

be marking his first year of junior hockey. “Having the coaches and training staff here in Port Moody believing in me and teaching me the things I need to learn, I believe the sky’s the limit,”he said. The Panthers have also picked up two new defensemen: Matthew Reyes, formerly of the North Delta Midget A1 team, and Geoffrey So of the Burnaby Winter Club Prep team. Pa n t h e r s ’ c o a c h Kevin Flather said Reyes is a patient player, “a blueliner who makes good decisions with the puck and plays simple, clean hockey.” Flather added that So “brings physicality, solid defensive presence and good, clean intensity to our back end.”
