Opening doors to the Hall of Fame Board of directors will soon see its vision come to life, but needs help Stories by John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com Whether it’s hoisting the Stanley Cup or crossing an Olympic finish line, virtually every athlete will tell you the same thing: it’s the people behind the scenes that helped elevate them to that level of success.

Recognizing the heroes on the front line of sport — and those who helped get them there — will be the focal point behind the new Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame, which has set a Sept. 30 deadline for its inaugural call for nominations.

The 10-person board of directors is looking for inductees for both the Hall of Fame, which recognizes a lifetime of work, and a Wall of Fame for accomplishments in the past year.

“The whole idea was to put some kind of recognition to these people so they don’t get forgotten over time.

Some of them are somewhat forgotten already, and hopefully we’ll revive some of those names and have them properly recognized in the community,” said Coquitlam Adanac general manager Les Wingrove, who’s credited with coming up with the concept for a Hall of Fame three years ago.

It was in 2007 that members of Coquitlam’s now-defunct sport and recreation advisory committee were looking over artist renderings of the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.

Buoyed by the anticipation, Wingrove offered up his two cents.

“I just threw up my hand at the time and said, ‘I don’t know if this is the right time or not, but if we’re building a whole new facility, it might be a great time to incorporate a Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame into it.’ Everybody on the committee kind of jumped on it, too.”

Wingrove, along with five other people, struck a working group to shape what the Hall of Fame would look like before getting city council’s blessing in 2008. The group registered itself as a society and invited others to make up its board of directors.

“When this came up, I just thought,

Paul vanPeenen/NOW

Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame board members, from left, Barry Ayers, Kelley Law and Les Wingrove, look forward to filling display cases filled with photographs and memorabilia of local heros and highlights.

‘This makes sense.’ I think we don’t celebrate sport enough and what it can do in the lives of everyone,” said president Lois McNary. “You learn so many life lessons through sport: it’s health, it’s camaraderie, it’s life lessons.”

The facility itself will be housed in a roughly 1,000-square-foot space in the lobby of the sports centre, and it’s expected to be unveiled to the public at some point in late October or early November. The first induction ceremony will take place on Nov. 23.

“It has certainly come a long ways.

It’s neat to see things being put together and all the work that a lot of people have put in to this,” said Coquitlam Curling Club president Barry Ayers. “I drove by [the sports centre] a couple days ago, and I just

thought ‘Wow, is this ever going to be fantastic.’”

The facility will not only serve as a place to celebrate, but also a spot to congregate and educate. Plans are in the works to host group events around sport, as well as interactive displays highlighting local athletic achievements and individual athletes. Photos, trophies, jerseys and Olympic torches could end up in the hall.

There’s also talk of hosting exhibits designed to educate the public about specific sports, and it’s hoped that the committee can attract members of local professional teams — the Canucks, Whitecaps and Lions — as well as former Olympians to help bolster the profile of those events.

“We really want to make it a gather-

ing place for sporting people to come and see pictures of all these people who are in the Hall of Fame and recognized each year, and to celebrate sport in Coquitlam,” McNary said.

All nomination information can be found online at www.coquitlamshof. com. The committee is looking for nominees in three categories for the Hall of Fame, while the Wall of Fame consists of 12 different categories.

“We’re looking for someone who has poured their life in to their sport and has come out with some big wins,” said Kelley Law, the board’s vice-president and a 2002 Olympic bronze medallist in curling. “It’s going to be a variety of athletes, mentors and coaches.

We want to bring the best in athletic accomplishments to the forefront.”

Nominate athletes, builders and teams from Coquitlam

The Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame has three categories for inductions, including athlete, builder and team.

The athlete criteria includes: • The nominee must have either been born in Coquitlam, attended school or lived in Coquitlam for a combined minimum of eight years and have substantial connections to the city.

• Representing sport with distinction in athletic competition both within Coquitlam and outside of the city.

• An outstanding record in one or more sports.

• Those who have competed as a member of Canadian or national teams can be inducted as individuals.

Builder criteria includes: • Builders include coaches, officials, administrators,

patrons, media members or sports medicine practitioners.

• Substantial connections to Coquitlam, and service to sport for a number of years in an outstanding nature.

• An individual inducted as an athlete who then goes on to become an administrator in the same sport cannot be inducted as a builder in the same sport.

Team criteria:

• Teams winning a national, international or world championship, or reaching the highest level of achievement in their sport.

• Teams can be selected for their achievement in one year, or based on an accumulated history.

• Teams will not be considered a team when the overall result is arrived at on the basis of individual scores spe-

cifically.

• In most cases, in a sport where athletes compete in individual events, the team will not be eligible for a team induction.

The board has set out specific criteria governing what is considered a sport. The sport must be physical and competitive while adhering to  CONT. ON PAGE 8, see TEAMS.

Trustee pay raise policy under review Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com Let the number crunching begin.

The School District 43 board decided Tuesday to review the method they use to calculate trustee pay.

The current policy is to adjust trustee annual indemnity the second year of each term based on the average remuneration amounts of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody city councillors.

According to this policy, trustees ought to have awarded themselves a raise of $7,489 apiece in June, mainly due to Coquitlam council’s recent pay raise. However, they opted to boost their annual pay by a lesser amount of $2,280 each to be tacked on to their 2009-10 rates of $25,250 for trustees, $26,000 for the vice-chair and $27,750 for the chair.

Before that, trustees hadn’t approved a pay raise since July 1, 2004.

But Port Coquitlam council upped the ante in July when they unanimously voted themselves a 42-per-cent increase for councillors and 27-per-cent increase for Mayor Greg Moore. PoCo councillors now earn $31,654 per year while the mayor gets $85,418.

Using the trustees’ current indemnity formula, this will mean another big boost for them during their next pay review.

But for board chair Melissa Hyndes, this formula is no longer effective.

“The whole idea of taking an average of the three largest cities actually would work for the school district if they all worked on a certain percentage, and then ours would go up accordingly,” Hyndes said, adding that deferring the decision to increase indemnity because of hard times compounds the problem.

“When it does come up again, we are looking at vast differences between the increases in the cities as to where we are.

So therefore it looks like we have had this massive increase.”

Hyndes suggested a review of how trustee indemnities are calculated in other school districts in the Lower Mainland and across Canada.

Trustee John Keryluk, however, voted against the idea since District 43 spans five municipalities unlike other districts.

Trustee Gail Alty said that the current calculation presents problems.

“It did work for a while, but people haven’t been taking their increases, including PoCo council. So when they do, it really skews,” Alty said.

“And we’ve done that ourselves. It looks worse than it is. Had we taken those raises all along, we’d be making a lot more money than we are now.”

Schools finding ways to supervise kindergartners Tri-Cities elementary schools are finding creative strategies to supervise new full-day kindergarten students during recess and lunch breaks.

Assistant superintendent Maureen Dockendorf said School District 43 has 922 kindergarten students in the inaugural full-day program offered at 23 schools.

“One of the things that comes up is what happens to these kids at recess? What happens to those kids at

lunch? … We’ve had all kinds of phone calls about that from very concerned parents and caregivers,” she said.

“Every single one of our 45 elementary schools has a plan in place to look after those five-year-olds at lunch.”

Kindergarten kids at Mountain View Elementary, for example, wear bright yellow vests so noon-hour supervisors can identify them easily. At another school, kindergartners wear lime green wristbands.

Elsewhere, schools have created a buddy system in which older students are partnered with the full-day fiveyear-olds.

“They’re taking them out hand in hand,” Dockendorf said, “and they’re very, very proud to show them their school and where you can play and what we do.”

In other elementaries, early learners have a designated area for them to play.

And in some cases, Dockendorf said, teachers are

accompanying their new students outside.

Unsanctioned MMA goes ahead — again Stories by John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com Members of Coquitlam’s governing body that sanctions combat sports are at odds with one another over the city’s second mixed martial arts event, which is set for tonight.

Extreme MMA 3 — the B.C. Championships hits the Red Robinson Show Theatre tonight with an amateur tournament style set of rules that will allow participants to fight upwards of three times in one night. Each fight is slated for one, three-minute round, with the potential weight-class winner fighting three bouts or nine minutes in one night.

The city’s regulatory body that oversees these types of events — the Coquitlam Athletic Commission — has its hands tied on these types of shows; however, as the commission can only set out regulatory guidelines for pro fights where money purses are awarded.

In the case of an amateur fight, the city has no say.

“This is once again, another way around our commission,” said commission chair Coun. Brent Asmundson.

“That speaks to the need for the province or the feds to come up with one set of standards. It upsets me very much in

that work anyways.

“In our sport, we try and do everything we can,” Arnott said. “The fighters have to pass strict medicals, we have strict medicals and we have emergency vehicles at these events.”

Arnott added that the fighters on Friday’s card would have undergone a battery of tests 24 hours before the fight: they will be checked for HIV, various forms of hepatitis and other blood-related issues. He added that fighters over the age of 36 are also tested for other conditions as well. And in the event that a fighter advances past his first fight on Friday, he will be re-examined before his next fight.

“My No.1 thing is that the safety of the fighter is always the most important. If there’s any reason why he can’t go fight, he will not fight,” Arnott said.

Arnott was the promoter behind the city’s first ever MMA event in April, a fight card that he said attracted 900 people. “It went really well. It was excellent. That’s why we came back there, we had a very excited crowd and they loved the acts,” he said.

Asmundson purposely did not attend the fight, as he did not want to appear “to be lending legitimacy” to an unsanctioned event. He added that he will not be attending Friday’s fight either.

terms of the fighter’s safety.”

While another member of the five-person commission acknowledges the need for that regulatory framework, he sees nothing wrong with tonight’s event.

Harry Oppal has been sanctioned by a number of organizations to officiate mixed martial arts events since 2005, and boxing matches since the 1960s. He said he’s worked with Friday’s promoter, Don Arnott from Nanaimo, in the past and officiated Arnott’s last event in Coquitlam in April, the city’s first MMA event.

“I’ve probably officiated 400 to 500 of these events, and the only thing I’ve ever seen was a broken arm. But by the same token, I’ve watched a B.C. Lions scrimmage where a guy had his knee torn up,” said Oppal, one of four officials for tonight’s fight card. “The thing about martial arts is that the first two things they teach is respect and discipline, and then to defend yourself. These people are used to defending themselves.”

When a pro fight comes to town, whether it’s boxing or MMA, the promoter must get the blessing of the city’s athletic commission, which sets out guidelines for everything from both a legal and fighter health standpoint.

None of that is needed in the case of an amateur fight, although Arnott said his organization takes it upon itself to do all

Coquitlam candidate spends $32,076 for seat deputy city clerk Kerri Lore, late filers have one of three options: they can file at some point within the next 30 days and pay a $500 fine; apply to the court system asking for relief from filing; or choose to not file at all, which would disqualify them from running

Coquitlam Coun. Neal Nicholson received far and away the largest amount of campaign contributions and claimed the highest expense amounts of any candidate in the May byelection.

Candidate campaign disclosure statements were required to be filed by Monday, and those figures show that Nicholson claimed $34,623 in contributions and $32,076 in expenses.

Like the byelection results themselves, Terry O’Neill came in second in the area of contributions ($18,709) and expenses ($22,352).

Of all the candidates who ran for the council vacancy on May 15, Ralph Banni was the lone candidate who did not file his papers on time. He told The NOW Thursday that the move was simply a mistake, and that he filed them one day later.

“Certainly there was no intent on my part whatsoever to deceive or to evade. It was a simple mistake on my part,” he said.

According to Coquitlam

in the 2011 election.

Banni said he’s unsure as to which route he will take.

As for the other candidates, both Brian Babcock and Massimo Mandarino claimed no expenses or contributions.

Andy Wickey claimed $7,404 in both contributions and

expenses, while Owen Coomer claimed $1,225 in contributions and $1,306 in expenses.

Andy Shen claimed $168 in both contributions and expenses.

Nicholson won the May 15 byelection on the weight of 2,490 votes.

Pay-as-you-throw discount should be a bigger reward Re: “PoCo boosts pay-as-you-throw,” Friday, Sept. 10.

Just like Mayor Greg Moore, I too am “lucky if I put my (household) garbage bin out once a month.”

In fact, on the collection days that I do have household garbage, it’s usually just a half-full garbage bag that I take from an old-style garbage can in the garage, and drop it in one of my To The neighbour’s standard bins that is not full — rather than take a partially full bin of my own to the curb.

I’m therefore definitely a candidate for a smaller bin, and should be able to enjoy all the savings from reducing my household garbage.

When trying to justify the recent 27-per-cent and 42-per-cent remuneration increases our mayor and councillors recently voted themselves, the word

“fair” was often used.

Well I don’t think the 2011 solid waste collection rates that are being considered are fair. This year’s rates for 360-, 240- and 120-litre bins have a $30 difference for each size change.

Rates being considered for 2011 show that a large bin will increase by another $11.81, a standard bin will remain the same and a small bin will only decrease Editor by another $3.01. It sounds like a net rate increase to me.

I don’t consider this a fair rate adjustment. The difference for each size change should continue to be equal.

Sporting a grin over Hall of Fame

S

o close they can almost taste it. The folks behind the scenes of the soon-tobe Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame have every right to have an extra spring in their step these days, as the finishing touches are being put on the physical space where local sports legends will be honoured.

The Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame facility will be housed in a roughly 1,000-squarefoot space in the lobby of the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex, and it’s expected to be unveiled to the public at some point in late October or early November.

The first induction ceremony to formally recognize local sports legends will take place on Nov. 23.

Only when we understand our past can we know where we are headed in the future — which is what makes this massive undertaking so exciting.

Photos, trophies, jerseys and Olympic torches are likely to one day end up in the hall.

Interactive displays highlighting local athletic achievements and individual athletes are also being considered.

The facility is not only meant to honour the past, but celebrate the future. Places to congregate and educate have been built into the plans, and the committee hopes to attract former Olympians and members of professional sports teams like the Canucks, Whitecaps and Lions to attend.

The group has set a Sept. 30 deadline for its inaugural call for nominations. The board of directors is looking for inductees for both the Hall of Fame, which recognizes a lifetime of work, and a Wall of Fame signifying accomplishments from the past calendar year.

We encourage Coquitlam residents to visit their website — www.coquitlamshof.com — and consider nominating an athlete, coach or volunteer they know.

We are grateful for the board’s work on preserving our past.

Looking to the future, it is now the community’s turn to place those devoted to the love of sport in the spotlight.

My View

Friday, September 17, 2010

As artists, we are nothing but grateful and thankful for the chance to do for a living what motivates our entire beings. It is a passion that we are only too glad to share. But we would like the chance to share fairly and receive equal treatment.

Ironically, the vast majority of Canadians are music fans. For most people, music is an important and enriching part of their lives. Yet so many of them hide behind excuses to not support the people who provide this enrichment and, to put it simply, steal from them.

If illegal downloaders refuse to do the right thing, or are ill-informed about the consequences of their actions, it is the responsibility of the music industry to inform and educate them.

But we also need laws to protect our rights — not only to be able to continue creating, but also because it is only fair.

Let’s not forget our national cultural heritage is one blessed with the likes of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Bruce Cockburn. Is this not something worthy of protection and continued investment, to support what makes our country great?

There is lots of amazing new talent in Canada today, alive with the promise of a bright artistic future, capable of stirring Canadians and the world.

These artists will reward all of us if given the opportunity. At the very least, they deserve fair treatment under the law.

Spike Awards honour best in business Port Moody’s Spike Awards are back, celebrating the best of local business.

Presented by the city’s economic development committee, the awards recognize businesses in six very different categories, with winners to be acknowledged at a gala evening at Port Moody City Hall on Nov. 18.

“I love to see people supporting local organizations,” said Coun. Mike Clay, committee chair. “These awards really highlight the wide variety of businesses that call Port Moody home. … We want to see a wide range of businesses championed, from longtime Port Moody favourites to the more obscure firms and companies still in their first year of business.”

Nomination forms are available at any city facility or can be downloaded from the city’s website at www.cityofportmoody.com/spikeawards.

The deadline for nominations is Friday, Oct. 15, 2010 by 5 p.m.

Perfecting your closet Women have a special relationship with their closet — it is intimate, personal and very important to them.

This fall, Coquitlam Centre will help customers build their own “perfect closet” with the latest fall fashions and advice from fashion expert, Catherine Dunwoody.

Dunwoody is a respected fashion and beauty editor, seasoned TV style expert and a sought-after fashion stylist in North America.

Workshops will be held on Saturdays, Sept. 18 and 25, at noon in Event Central (Upper Level by Gap). Shoppers can also enter to win a $5,000 dream closet courtesy California Closets and a $1,000 gift card for Coquitlam Centre.

“I honestly couldn’t imagine not being a part of K&S still. It’s been such a huge part of my life growing up. I don’t think I’d be who I am today without it.”

Moore, a longtime friend, feels the same way.

“I’ve been there since Day 1. It’s just like a little family. There’s quite a few of us that have just been there for so long,” said Moore, a hip-hop teacher.

“It’s always somewhere fun to go. It creates a team environment, working with others. It’s about everyone. We started out so small, in a small studio.

What we’ve become now is completely different. The studio’s grown. There’s so much more to offer for the kids, so many different aspects of dance.”

The next option offered will be through the new dance company, which aims to perform throughout Metro Vancouver.

Auditions take place Saturday, Sept. 18 from 2 to 4 p.m. at 10-1730 Broadway St. All competitive dancers aged 10 and over are welcome to try out. Dancers do not need to be enrolled in K&S classes to try out for the company.

Mindfulness training for the here and now It’s all a state of mind.

Meditation is a way of being, not a technique, and Glen Pine Pavilion’s Mindfulness with Roger workshop will cover the world behind a quiet space.

Led by instructor Roger Montgomery, participants will learn a step-by-step process to allow them to relax, calm the mind and body, and simply be here now. It is at this point that people accept

themselves for exactly where they are and as they are, and the world as it is in each moment of their life.

Each class will include instruction, practice and discussion.

Tuesday afternoon sessions are available from 1 to 2 p.m. starting Sept. 21, or Wednesday evenings from 7 to 8 p.m. starting on Sept. 22.

Each session is $7, or $6 for 50-Plus

Rotarians Steve Witiuk (front) and Nickolas Stebbing hand out dictionaries to Grade 4 students at Moody Elementary, as part of a community literacy project.

Dictionary donation helps Grade 4s Grade 4 students across the Tri-Cities will generate a gargantuan vocabulary thanks to a donation of dictionaries from local Rotary clubs.

For the fifth year, the four Rotary clubs donated a dictionary to each Grade 4 student in School District 43, totaling nearly 2,200

educational gifts.

“This is my way of contributing to help better our education system,” said Steve Witiuk, the Port Moody Rotary Club member who originally started the project.

The initiative is funded through individual donations and existing club funds.

very day we go up against ICBC, BC’s most formidable legal opponent and win tough cases. It’s no secret that Insurance companies improve their profit by not paying claims, and ICBC is no exception. We’re used to the fact they fight hard – and we know that to win we must fight harder.

Is it difficult?

Not when you believe in what you’re fighting for. And we believe in those who are having every tactic in the book played against him or her by a giant. When it comes to David and Golliath we’re on David’s side every time.

Feathered friends don’t fare as well when seasons change If you want to be the wind beneath someone’s wings this winter, how about feeding the wild birds?

“For winter resident birds, it’s an extremely challenging time,” says Sara Dubois, manager of wildlife services for the B.C. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

“They no longer have access to the food sources that sustained them all summer and into early fall, and even shelter can become difficult to find.”

In warm weather, birds rely heavily on insects for food. But insects are dormant in winter months, when birds need even more calories to keep their bodies warm.

If the temperature dips below freezing, water also disappears, giving way to ice. It’s at this time of year, says Dubois, that birds need our help the most.

“High-calorie and high-fat foods like oil sunflowers, suet and peanuts are all excellent options to place in bird feeders,” says Dubois.

Dubois cautions well-meaning bird enthusiasts from putting out bread for winter birds.

Bread actually hinders avian digestion and if it’s fed to birds often enough, it can be fatal.

She also says it’s essential to clean bird feeders weekly to avoid the buildup of mold and prevent the spread of disease.

“The preservatives found in bread kill beneficial micro-organisms in the avian digestive tract,” says Dubois. “It fills them up without providing them with any nutritional benefits.

Essentially, they starve.”

It’s also important to place bird feeders away from the elements and predators.

According to Wild Birds Unlimited, feeders should be located away from the wind and on the east of southeast side of a house, or, alternatively, near a row of trees.

And as for predators, the feeders should be positioned near cover but in the open to allow birds to watch for danger.

Ground feeders, especially, should be near cover with a clear view of the surrounding area.

“And for helping nature along, you’re rewarded with some great bird-watching opportunities — perhaps from the perspective of your kitchen window,” says Dubois.

“Birds are colourful, interesting and industrious little creatures who are quite amazing to watch.”

For more information about winter bird feeding, including products, supplies and educational resources, visit a retail location of Wild Birds Unlimited, or visit online at www. wbu.com.

The GMC Terrain’s bold stylings mark its entry into the utility vehicle market.

GMC covering new ground David Chao and Bob McHugh editorial@thenownews.com The GMC Terrain is a new entry in the utility-vehicle market with the proportions of a big compact.

The choices are many for buyers in this segment, but the Terrain stands out with distinctive styling, top-notch occupant safety and exceptionally good fuel economy.

While closely related to the Chevy Equinox, the Terrain has a higher level of standard

equipment, a more purposeful exterior design with larger, more practical rear doors and some extra cargo room behind its rear seats. It seats five in a roomy cabin that treats its rear passengers to seats that slide fore and aft to allow a generous amount of legroom, not to mention seatbacks that recline.

The base-level front-wheel versions of Terrain are priced low enough to be crossshopped against popular, but slightly smaller compact utility vehicles like the Honda CR-V  CONTINUED ON PAGE 18, see DIRECT-INJECTION.

Comfort. Support. Care.

Comfort. Support. Care.They are three words that perhaps best describe the Crossroads Hospice Society and its work to instill belief that every life has meaning and purpose, and therefore each day must be filled with comfort and dignity.

goal? To ensure that essential services of the Crossroads Hospice Society are sustained for generations to come.

Longtime board member and retired healthcare professional, Dawn McDonald, said she derives a sense of personal satisfaction from continuing the use of the knowledge, skills and experience gained in her 40-year career to help those during their end-of-life journey. “We cannot heal the individuals who enter hospice, we can only try to support a final journey that is comfortable and peaceful. We can, in time, help family and friends to heal and find meaning in the passage of their loved one.This is important work as it echoes through lives and down generations.”

And that’s where a fourth word comes in: passion.

“When my dad passed away in 1996, the bereavement services offered by Crossroads Hospice Society were instrumental in helping me through a difficult time,” said Crossroads’ President,Colette Eng,of her reasons for volunteering countless hours to the advancement of the organization.“At 27 years old, I had very little experience with losing someone that was so close to me, and I am so pleased to be able to show my appreciation for the benefit I received from Crossroads by volunteering my time.”

They are also three words regularly used by Crossroads’ more than 150 active volunteers; individuals who are critical in guiding and supporting the organization’s operations, from support services to thrift store management to fundraising to special event organization and beyond.

At the helm of this massive network of compassionate and driven individuals working to further a common cause is Crossroads’ Board of Directors, comprised of 13 individuals with a connection to both the community and the cause.A mixed group of longtime and fresh faces, the Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and implementing an overall vision and setting a rate of progress to achieve it.The

Dignity, kindness and respect are crucial during an individual’s journey through end of life, said board member Ken Catton of his reasons for volunteering.“Crossroads Hospice provides those reaching the end of their journey the comfort of soothing care, a warm embrace, and a smile; for it is not a time for sorrow, but a time to rejoice in their lifetime spent with family and friends,” he said.“I know of no other organization that fulfills such an important and meaningful role in our community.”

The Crossroads Hospice Society held its Annual General Meeting at the POCO Inn and Suites on September 15, 2010 to elect board directors, update members and celebrate its success.We thank all who attended. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Crossroads Hospice Society ($25 per year) or would like more information please visit www.crossroadshospice.bc.ca or call 604-945-0606.

ways to add this wonderful vegetable to a variety of dishes; just practise moderation if the thought of the taste in your recipe scares you.

Garlic, when cooked, does not have that overly pungent flavour. It has a sweeter and smoother temperament and adds a depth of flavour to your dish that cannot be mimicked.

A perfect example of this would be roasted garlic.

Whole heads of garlic roasted in the oven can be puréed and mixed into an endless variety of recipes like bread dough, dips, spreads, stuffings, etc., and it’s one of the easiest things to prepare: Preheat your oven to 450 F. Keep the garlic heads whole and cut off the tops of the garlic heads, just enough to expose the tops of the garlic cloves.

Place the heads of garlic in an oven-proof casserole dish

equipped with a lid. Drizzle one teaspoon of olive oil over each of the exposed garlic heads, and season lightly with salt and fresh-cracked pepper.

Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand at room temperature (with the lid on) until cool enough to touch.

Serve whole for presentation, or squeeze out the cloves and mix into a variety of spreads, dips or sauces.

One final note: the sprig of parsley added to enhance the presentation of your plate was originally derived from the practice of chewing it after a meal to freshen one’s breath.

PoCo crew wins $80,000 in Wendy’s contest Construction workers on Consolidated Fastfrate’s nightshift are a whole lot richer these days, after winning the grand prize in a Wendy’s Great After 8 contest.

Mike Dotto of Port Moody co-ordinated the group’s 300 entries into the contest, which gave people scratch cards with PIN entries that could be entered into Wendy’s website.

Since Fastfrate’s nightshift was across the street from the Kingsway Avenue franchise in Port Coquitlam, they decided to take their breaks there during the period of the contest.

Dotto would take all the PIN numbers and enter them into the draw, on the off-chance they might emerge winners from the online summer contest.

“We could not believe we won,” Dotto said.

The money is being split between each of the seven Fastfrate workers: Dotto; Eden Grant, Port Moody; Cory Babineau, Port Coquitlam; Paul Groves, Port Coquitlam; Randy Eremko, New Westminster; Adam Maloney, Pitt Meadows; and Mike Henderson, Vancouver.

Garden

Bulbs that bloom early do well when planted in front lawns

T

tomasinianus (also called Tommy’s). This is the only crocus he biggest challenge for many gardeners today is trying to squirrels avoid. It’s also very early and a quick spreader that’s pack all the plants they really want to grow into a space that’s far too small. Yet, they often forget the one area that inexpensive to obtain.

The long-lasting flowers range from pale mauve could help them out — the front or back lawn. to deep purple (ruby giant). It’s very dwarf (five to This is a perfect spot for tiny bulbs that flower in 12 cm) and delicate. Flowers last a very long time, late winter. Only very early ones will suit because then the wispy leaves elongate but shortening them they need to complete most of their growth cycle somewhat doesn’t seem to affect their resilience. before lawn-mowing starts in April.

I should mention, though, that some gardeners They must also be very short so that they can hate this crocus because it tends to pop up all over be given a little extra die-back time by making the the garden. Each one will become a small colony in first two cuts as high as the lawnmower will go.

High cuts also benefit lawnmowers by ensuring that Branching Out a few years. But it dies down fast, the corms are tiny and it’s easy to pull. hidden objects have a chance to get noticed before Anne Marrison Almost as early as snowdrops and much shorter confronting the blade. (five to nine cm) is Scilla siberica. The starry flowers The earliest are usually snowdrops. Though are intense blue and it adapts to sun or shade. It competes the leaves grow fairly tall, they are often in flower early to poorly with thick grass. But where there are trees in or near a mid-January — so early that they have at least eight weeks to lawn, and grass is thinner due to summer shade and root comreplenish their energy before lawn-mowing begins.

Snowdrops aren’t fussy growers, but they’re happiest in moist petition, this scilla can spread into spectacular patches.

Chionodoxa (glory of the snow) likes similar conditions, but soil that’s shady in summer. Clay suits them well. Anyone with it’s taller and tolerates a wide range of conditions. The flowers soil that’s dry, sandy and baked in summer should try crocuses are similar to scilla, but somewhat larger. C. forbesii is the one instead. sold everywhere. It’s usually available in three colours: blue, The most rewarding crocus for sunny lawns is Crocus

pink and white.

But my favourite is the brilliantly blue-flowered Chionodoxa sardensis, just seven-cm (three-inches) tall at flowering time.

Its seeds are contained in deep brown globes easy to detach when dry and move to colonize new places. Like Crocus tomasinianus, it is not always offered in garden centres. But www.gardenimport.com usually sells both.

The spreading roots of cedars, which are such a nuisance in most places, can benefit lawn bulbs and corms like Cyclamen coum that go dormant in summer and need good drainage. It helps if the cedars are high-limbed to admit some light.

This cyclamen is too dwarf for lawn mowing to remove leaves. Flowering pink or white in January, it usually goes dormant in about May and survives drought and heavy lawnmowers all summer. Leaves re-emerge with fall rains.

Containers extend life of gardens past harvest Ever looked out on your yard and wanted to eat the landscape?

That’s the idea behind the return of a popular Place Maillardville program this fall that helps residents incorporate food eveywhere they turn.

Edible Landscape runs weekly on Saturdays until Oct. 2 and features a variety of topics on how to begin and continue growing your own food.

The focus is on primarily container gardening, and how it can enable smallspace or pocket gardeners to boost the yield from their own balconies, patios or

small yards.

Participants will learn how to garden in an environmentally friendly and costeffective way.

All garden tools and supplies are included, and participants get to keep their containers and plantings.

On Sept. 18, the workshop will cover succession planting, or how to pot your own pots of greens, seeds and transplants.

On Oct. 2, winter protection will be discussed. The harvest can be extended a lot further into the season than just fall,

so come and learn the tips and tricks to have vegetables throughout the year.

Sessions run from 1 to 2 p.m. in the Heritage Room of Place Maillardville, 1200 Cartier Ave. Cost is $4 per person, and children can get in free when accompanied by an adult. The program is designed for those 16 and over.

To find out more about this program or volunteer opportunities, visit www. placemaillardville.ca, e-mail info@placemaillardville.ca or phone the centre at 604-933-6166.

Score Card

Frazao finds Alberta nets for T-birds Back-to-back two goal games on an Alberta swing would be a pretty nice achievement for most collegiate soccer players.

The Calgary Dinos and Lethbridge Pronghorns, however, may consider themselves lucky.

Port Moody’s Janine Frazao paced her University of B.C. Thunderbirds to a pair of wins last week, scoring two goals each day in wins of 2-0 and 4-1.

The effort earned the 19-year-old the CIS women’s soccer player of the week nod.

The 5’5 striker cashed in both tallies in the opening 2-0 decision over Calgary, and followed that with two insurance markers in a span of seven minutes a day later in Lethbridge.

A year ago, the offensive sparkplug riddled both squad’s backline for eight goals in two games, en route to a 10-goal season as a freshman. UBC began the season ranked No. 9 in the CIS.

Bowman back in Canadian colours

The baseball season just keeps on going for Port Moody’s Shawn Bowman.

The Coquitlam Reds alumnus and Toronto Blue Jays farmhand will be wearing Team Canada colours this month as he prepares for next month’s Pan Am qualifiers in Puerto Rico.

Bowman, 25, will man the hot corner in a three-game tune-up series against the U.S. next week, in preparation for the qualifying tournament.

Bowman, in his first season as a Blue Jay prospect, batted .263 with 22 home runs for double-A New Hampshire. He spent the previous six seasons as a member of the New York Mets system.

The top eight countries at the qualifiers will advance to the 2011 Pan Ams in Mexico.

The Canadian squad is being managed by former Blue Jay backstop Ernie Witt, while another Coquitlam Red grad, Larry Walker, is on the coaching staff.

Jason Lang/NOW

NO NUZZLING: Simon Fraser University running back Bo Palmer can’t get away from Southern Oregon’s Marshawn Friloux in the Clan’s 31-18 loss last week. The Burnaby team tries to win its first NCAA Div. II football game this weekend in a rematch.

PoCo adds firepower for Valley fight Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com Port Moody’s Bryan Jacoboni believes his experience in managing a maintenance company will pay off in his new hobby as a soccer mogul.

A long-time local player, Jacoboni took over the reins of the Port Coquitlam Premier FC — formerly the Rangers — this summer from Thomas Mills, and didn’t waste any time in putting his stamp on the perennial Fraser Valley Soccer challenger.

Jacoboni, who hung up his cleats after last year, has added five former Vancouver Whitecaps to a well-stocked roster of youthful veterans. The goal remains the same, to make a serious push for a Provincial Cup title.

Topping the list off, the rookie soccer chief inked one-time Major League Soccer midfielder/defender Kevin

Harmse, a player who has spent much of the past six years playing at the professional level.

No doubt that last move has caused more than a few rivals to wince.

“He’s probably one of the top three amateur players in Canada — he’s played with the national team, played pro in Europe and in L.A. Kevin is making his way back up after some injuries so we’re glad to have him,” Jacoboni said.

Although it has required Harmse to be listed as an amateur by Canadian Soccer, the end result is a youthful pro-level talent playing locally.

“He’s committed to us until December, and we want him to play pro again because we think he’s too talented to play amateur.”

Last year, it was PoCo that did the wincing when a terrific season crashed and burned on back-to-back losses to archrival Peace Arch — a 5-1 loss in

the Packenham Cup final, followed one week later with a 4-0 blanking in the Provincial Cup semifinal.

With that, Mills shifted his attention to Sapperton of the Vancouver Metro Soccer League, with Jacoboni taking over the Rangers. Usually, a change at the top also spurs an exodus of players for greener pastures under the belief that the new skipper will implement a rebuilding program.

The new boss, however, decided to take a different route.

While Mills did take captain Jay Gangnes to New West with him, the nucleus of last year’s lineup remained in place, including defenders Reed Lamb, Jimmy Thompson and Mike Wooldridge, netminder Mike Maloney and midfielder Richard Norman.

The additions have sent a firm signal to those around the 10-team circuit that PoCo still has the big trophies in its crosshairs.

Harmse’s travels include numerous pro tours in Norway and Slovakia before returning to North America to play alongside soccer celebrity David Beckham in 2007 with the L.A. Galaxy.

He’s racked up nine appearances for Canada, including three FIFA World Cup qualifier matches.

“He’s not just an amazing athlete, it is the incredible calibre of players and teams he’s played with over the years for a young guy.”

A year ago, the 26-year-old signed with Chivas US but didn’t dress due to an injury that has now healed.

“He didn’t sign with (Major League Soccer this year) because he wanted to make his way back slowly. It’s certainly a great signing for us.”

Jacoboni also successfully recruited two of the VMSL’s premier snipers, ICST Inter forward Tino Cucca, and

Centaurs soaked by Post Falls was taught my boys to become men,” Cents coach Ryk Piche said. “The practice we had after that game was the most intense practice we’ve ever had.”

Quarterback Bobby Pospischil cashed in the lone Centaur touchdown off a seven-yard scramble. It came on the heels of an 80-yard punt return.

A week earlier, the Centaurs fell 37-18 to Lynden of Washington State. They travel to North Delta to play Sands on Saturday.

The defending B.C. champions got a taste of 5A football on Saturday, and were chewed up 51-6

by Idaho’s Post Falls Trojans.

Without key Grade 11s Jason Buren and Nolan Stutt, who suffered injuries in the previous week’s loss to Lynden, the Centennial Centaurs were a little shorthanded.

It wouldn’t have mattered much against the powerful Trojans, who stormed ahead quickly to a 24-0 lead and cruised from there.

Sports Coquitlam skaters collect medals at Summerskate Larissa Horobec set the tone by topping both her short and long programs at the Summerskate International competition in Burnaby.

The competition attracted skaters from as far away as Poland and China.

Joining her with division

wins were fellow Coquitlam Skating Club members’ Larkyn Austman, Brianna Delmaestro and Cristina Delmaestro.

Horobec and Austman’s wins were in pre-novice ladies, where the number of skaters resulted in three separate divisions.

Brianna Delmaestro won nov-

ice ladies, while sister Cristina came first in pre-juvenile.

Placing fourth in senior men’s short program was Andrew Lum, while clubmate Ronald Lam stood sixth overall.

Here are more CSC results: LADIES, Jr. – Rebecca Hayman, 13th long; Rebecca Pickles,

11th long, 15th short. Novice – Brianna Delmaestro, 6th long; Natalie Reid, 11th short, 12th long. Pre-Novice – Larkyn Austman, 9th long; Grace Chen, 11th short, 13th long; Vienna Tsai, 18th short.

MEN, Jr. – Dylan Archambault, 6th long, 8th short.

A NEW TWIST: Coquitlam Skating Club’s Larissa Horobec posted gold medal scores at the recent Summerskate International competition in Burnaby.

Ex-Caps provide punch for PoCo  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 29

Tiernan King, formerly of Columbus, to join his band in pursuit of a Provincial Cup. “What we’re trying to do now is not just build a winner this year but for the future…

Last year we came second (overall) and had a shot at the Provincial Cup. The players are excited about taking another crack at it.”

Although the perception remains that the FVSL is a full-step behind the VMSL, the latest additions would indicate the gap is narrowing — at least from PoCo’s point of view.

“I think people have been moving out this way so VMSL players are moving too. It isn’t that the VMSL and (the FVSL) are at par, but at least the top (FVSL) teams are comparable,” Jacoboni noted.

PoCo placed a distant second, at 9-5-4, behind ACBC in the regular season. The Burnaby-based club will be in the mix again for first place, Jacoboni said, while Peace Arch and local rival Port Moody, coached by Larry Moro, are also contenders.

Joining Harmse, Cucca and King is another ex-’Cap, Gordon Chin, who co-captained Canada’s under-20 team eight years ago.

Chin demonstrated his worth in PoCo’s season opener, scoring once in a 4-2 doubling of Delta. Cucca tallied twice, including a great individual effort, to set the tone. Lukasz Cimosko also scored.

The Rangers host GEU United tonight (Friday), 7:15 p.m. at Gates Park in Reeve St. Park. Admission is free to all games.

Baek, Shin rise to Triangular top

Coquitlam’s Oscar Baek and Ally Shin proved to be the best of a strong field in the 27-hole Canadian Junior Golf International Triangular Cup qualifier at the par-72 Fraserview Golf Course.

Baek fired a red hot 68 over 18 holes, and a 33 over nine for a seven-under par 101 for the boys 15-17 age division title. He was three strokes better than Vancouver’s Nicholas Russell.

Sitting in sixth place was Coquitlam’s Trevor Garofano, with a 27-hole score of 115 (75-40).

Shin posted a junior girls (11-19) score of 110 (74-36), edging out Vancouver’s Lana Gill by four shots. Tied for second place was Coquitlam’s Rosie Jeon, who shot 114 (76-38).

In the boys 14 and under category, Coquitlam’s Kevin Vigna stood two shots off the leader with a total of 107 (67-40), good for a one-under par. Henry Lee, meanwhile, was tied for fifth overall with a final score of 112 (75-37).

Cancer June 21-July 22: The fluff exits, the serious arrives. Sunday/Monday you meet mysteries and financial considerations– and possible intimacy, sex, commitment to a lifestyle with someone compatible. Monday eve to Wednesday brings dilemmas about love, ethics and the law. Tuesday features confrontation, intriguing meetings, attraction or dispute; Wednesday brings bonding, rebirth. Yes, it could be love –or arch-enmity! You enter a month of children, home, security, food and soul Wednesday night. Thursday to Saturday can brew competing interests, cause deep undercurrents in these same zones (kids, home, etc.).

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Domestic friction grows to late October. Remember the benefits of a light touch!

Also to late October, a legal, international, higher education, religious, publishing or similar involvement can end. (It might have already begun to cease last week.) This is neither good nor bad, just a natural end, so you can begin anew somewhere/somehow else.

The month ahead is NOT a good time to begin a legal (or love) affair, to wed, nor to move into a new home.

Careful with sex, money Tuesday, with paperwork, travel, and communications Thursday onward. Sexy attraction (and investment luck) Wednesday!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Monetary and sensual urges grow through late October – you’ll feel restless about these, want to travel, talk, exchange paperwork or emails. This is more curiosity than consequence – you don’t have to commit yourself irrevocably to person or a project, purchase or investment. (Though you might. If you haven’t by December, you won’t.)

Life is changing rapidly, but these are late-stage changes, so are weak or without a big future. The ones to build on will appear (or re-appear) in 2011.

It’s wise to wait! Separations and meetings, Tuesday.

Knitting together, “birth,” Wednesday.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Work, drudgery and intensified health concerns end mid-week. (You’ll still feel a bit down, overburdened, Monday to Wednesday.)

You face a month of fresh opportunities, new horizons and exciting meetings – and challenges, opposition, possible refusals. To succeed, be diplomatic, flexible, seek to join, accent other’s desires, seek permission.

(You hate to do that last thing; but others hold the power now.) The extremes occur Monday to Wednesday, when great opportunities and great obstacles arise. Join/bond; if you fight, then refusal comes Thursday, and a challenge, a test, Saturday.

Taurus April 20-May 20: September’s pleasure, romance, risk and creativity yield mid-week to a month of practical interests: jobs, health, machinery, schedules, etc. Think ahead Sunday, to career prospects, potential meetings with higher-ups. Fill out an application or “design” a future meeting. Pleasure still calls Monday afternoon to Wednesday eve – it’s social, flirty, entertaining. Your hopes and happiness are high! (And you’ll meet some unusual people.)

Buckle down to chores, duties Thursday onward.You’ll see how giant the task is! Be quiet, contemplative.

You’ll have enough energy, as Saturday night proves.

Gemini May 21-June 20: September featured seclusion, domesticity, tiredness and re-examination of your basic direction in life. But midweek starts a month of romance (a co-worker?) pleasure, creative urges, risk and reward – you’ll ride a winning streak!

You began to doubt your plans, hopes in recent weeks: soon you’ll see that some hopes were justified! Tackle career demands Monday to Wednesday: obstacles and opportunities mingle, might result in a career rebirth. Employment’s lucky to January. Thursday casts love in a sober light, yet raises your hopes: Friday, too. Deep sexual, financial changes brew.

Sept. 19 - Sept. 25

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: A month of weariness, burdens, seclusion (and delays) ends Wednesday night. The weeks ahead bring increased energy, charisma and effectiveness. You’ll have a winner’s timing! (First timing hint: start new and/or important projects Sept. 26 p.m. onward, not immediately.)

This week tests your mettle. Tuesday brings work/ health dilemmas; Wednesday brings the “birth of the new” in these. Others oppose you (almost on principle – warped principle?) Thursday to Saturday – be sober, steady, diplomatic, firm. Money “swells” to late October: steer it to you, not from you.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Wednesday begins a month of quietude, contemplation, planning, government contacts, charitable actions and associations. Your energy levels decline. Take “power naps.” Despite an atmosphere of rest and recuperation, your reserves will be tapped, perhaps strained, by larger work demands, and heightened romantic/sexual charisma. The “love magnetism” lasts into January 2011 – a major affair lures singles! (Perhaps a burdensome one if it starts before November.) Your duties change this week.

Embrace a creative/romantic “rebirth” Tuesday/ Wednesday. A lucky meeting surprises you!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Pressures will ease soon. Wednesday starts a month of entertainment, social delights, flirtation and light romance, optimism and plans for your future. Over the past six weeks, you’ve been intrigued by a sense that wishes were or would come true – now the “reality” comes – and it’s a good one! However, your life plans, goals and wishes are changing deeply, mostly due to money factors. This is clear Thursday to Saturday. (If it isn’t clear, examine clues.) Earlier, Monday to Wednesday accent security, family: differing views are an opportunity to grow new common ground.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Two big things start now. One is quite usual, a month of ambition, pressure, career and prestige involvements. All these are undergoing a sea change now to 2024, as Thursday to Saturday will show. The other big thing is quite unusual in its duration: an upsurge in social joys, a mild but sweet upswing in popularity and optimism into January 2011. It could trigger sweet romance! You can use this social upswing to aid your career (schmooze with VIPs, etc.). Now through October a wish can come true about re-establishing home or property. Contact people Wednesday.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Midweek, you move from mystery to a month of enlightenment, from research to broadcasting what you’ve learned. (Broadcasting = writing the term paper, giving advice, discussions, media appearances, etc.) Now through October, higher-ups, parents and VIPs will be temperamental, impatient (mostly due to work pressures) – step lightly, be diplomatic, smile – a promotion looms! The weeks ahead feature love, understanding, far travel, legal matters, higher education, publishing, a philosophical outlook. All these are changing “at base,” as late week shows. Start a money project Wednesday.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Open dealings become more private, hidden. Overt attraction moves toward intimacy. Negotiations move toward funding. Whatever was an opportunity in the last few weeks now demands commitment and serious action. Life in general takes a deep turn, into mystery, revelation, subconscious urges, sexual desires, investments and debt, change and consequence. Avoid legal involvements, lawsuits now to Oct. 28. Legal matters will also reward you, a bit in October but strongly November/December.

Your charisma, energy surge Monday-Wednesday – re-tackle an ambitious administrative project. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
