Evergreen building now set for 2011 Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com Construction was supposed to begin in 2010. Now it’s slated for spring 2011. Despite the delays, Transportation Minister Shirley Bond says the Evergreen Line is continuing on course. “I can understand how people have been waiting for a very long time — in fact, decades — for this project. We have made a commitment that they’re not going to have to wait any longer. We are going to go to construction next spring,” Bond told The NOW. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Premier Gordon Campbell announced federal and provincial funding for the project last February. At that time, both levels of government jointly issued a press release stating that “construction is expected to start in 2010 and be completed by 2014.” But Bond said the important thing is that the preparatory work is underway. Design and environmental assessments have begun, and the procurement phase will start this summer. “We’ve made it clear we’re going to move forward with the Evergreen Line. We are going to construction next spring. In the meantime, we are continuing to have a discussion with the mayors’ council about how we can work together to ensure that the adequate funding is in place,” she said. “We currently have over $800 million on the table from the province and the federal government, and there certainly is a gap in funding.  CONT.

After a brief closure Friday, Como Lake reopened to fishing. The closure followed the discovery of more than 20 dead fish in the lake.

Como Lake reopens to fishing

Closure due to bacterial infection in non-native fish, not contamination John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com The death of more than 20 fish in Como Lake last week has been attributed to a bacterial infection in a disproportionately high number of invasive, nonnative fish in the lake. Officials with both the City of Coquitlam and Environment Canada said the infection was found in the lake’s bullhead species, fish that are not native to Como Lake or any other bodies of water in B.C. “It’s not surprising that [the infection] is in that species because, basically, they have no natural predator,” said Stacy Webb, a biologist with the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. “They’re not native to here, and they’re on the edge of their pre-

ferred habitat, and so you have a whole bunch of one species all trying to compete with each other.” Fishing at Como Lake had been temporarily suspended late last week, although anglers were allowed back to the lake in time for the long weekend. “The testing was completed late last week and we got those results on Friday afternoon, which is what allowed us to make the decision to re-open the lake,” said Steffanie Warriner, Coquitlam’s manager of environmental services. “There is no plan to do additional testing. However, we are going to be out patrolling and keeping an eye on things. If we see anything unusual, we would look to do some further assessment, but we don’t expect there to be anything.” Initial reports of the dead fish originally came to light last Wednesday, when Environment Canada

officials noted that 25 dead fish had washed ashore. The majority of those fish turned out to be bullheads, though some dead trout were reported as well. Environment Canada spokesperson Tina Cobb said Tuesday that no other wildlife have been affected other than the fish that washed ashore last Wednesday. Cobb also ruled out any possibility of chemical contaminates in the lake. City officials said the infection has already reached its peak level and that the number of fish deaths should be on the decline. Webb added that there is little chance the infection will spread to the lake’s rainbow trout population, as the trout tend to stay near the surface of the water, while the bullheads  CONTINUED ON PAGE 7, see TROUT WILL BE ADDED.

New bike route for Coquitlam John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com It’s being hailed as decent step in the right direction, but one that fails to address the city’s long-term cycling infrastructure needs. Coquitlam council unanimously approved the completion of a 17-kilometre cross-town bike route on May 17, though one of the initiative’s key

planners says it barely scratches the surface of what’s needed for Tri-Cities cyclists. “Coquitlam has historically not spent a lot of money on cycling infrastructure. We now have some new council members who want to change that, and this is a way where we can promote cycling by signing routes that are already there and brining awareness to cycling,” said Alexi Zawadzki, chair of the Tri-Cities chapter of the

Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition (VACC). “To that extent, the VACC support this initiative. Having said that, this is just a first step. There’s a lot left to be done in Coquitlam to make these routes more accessible and safer for people to ride.” Zawadzki worked alongside city staff in planning the route, which connects the city’s southwest corner from Whiting Way to the northeast area near David Avenue and Coast Meridian

Road. Sixty per cent of the route is already in use and designated for cycling, while the remaining 40 per cent is located on “low volume” streets in the Ranch Park neighbourhood. The project will cost $40,000, money that will be used mostly for signs, road marking and mapping. The city will also tout the new route during Bike to Work Week, which is  CONTINUED ON PAGE 6, see MONEY.

‘It will be built on schedule’  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.

We’re having discussions as we speak with the mayors’ council to work through how to close that gap.” In spite of funding uncertainties, Bond said the project is going forward. However, she said the mayors’ council will need to bring its share to the table as well. “They recognize — I’m sure that everyone else does — what a priority this is, not just for Coquitlam and that area but, in fact, for everyone who would benefit from the use of that line being connected to SkyTrain and ultimately Canada Line,” she said. “Bottom line, we understand how people can feel frustrated. We feel we share some of that frustration, and that’s why we’ve said this is a priority … We’ve had some very productive discussions with the mayors’ council and we are going to move forward with this project one way or another.” The Evergreen Line remains top priority, Bond said, although planning has also begun for future lines. Local mayors differ “The first project we will be considering, we will be moving forward with, is the Evergreen Line. We are obviously now doing planning and thinking about the UBC and Surrey lines, but there’s much work to be done as we prepare for those in the future,” she said. “But in the short term, the Evergreen Line is long past overdue … we will move forward with this and that’s our intent.” As vice-chair of the mayors’ council on transportation, Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini recently met with Bond and discussed the long-awaited line. “Sustainable funding and the Evergreen issue need to be resolved fairly quickly. Nobody has the answers yet, but at least we’re talking,” he said. Trasolini said he believes the Evergreen Line will be built, adding that TransLink will need new funding options to be sustainable. “The province is too entrenched in the promise,” he said. “To me, it’s not a question of happening

on their opinions of when Coquitlam and Port Moody will become SkyTrain communities. or not happening. To me, it’s a question of how it’s going to be paid for. It comes down to the political will.” However, Tri-Cities residents are tired of waiting, Trasolini said. “I think they’re steamed. I think they’re throwing their hands up in the air and they’re tired of hearing the province say, ‘We’re committed, we’ll build it.’ Well when? What if the province gets into political hot water? Aren’t they there now? What happens if there’s a shift in the priorities?” he asked. “I think it’s too late for that. I think the project in essence is underway — perhaps not physically, not visibly, but I think that for this or any other government, they would have a hard time mothballing this one now.” Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart is also confident the Evergreen Line is finally on its way. “Every time I’ve spoken to the premier about

it, he’s been tenaciously adamant that it is being designed right now and it will be built on schedule,” Stewart said. But Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore is less optimistic. “I’ll be concerned until the day that the shovel’s in the ground. We’ve got some major hurdles to overcome between now and then, one being financial. We need to be working together to figure out the financial aspects of the project and the ongoing operational costs of the project,” Moore said. “I’m not sure if you’d find too many residents who think it is coming. We’ve been put on the backburner for so long and we’re fighting all of the time to ensure that the line gets built. We’ve been disappointed many times over the years, and we’ve got to keep making sure that this is a top issue for TransLink and for the province and all of the region.”

Council votes to give residents a say on longer hours for Keg restaurant John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com It’s an extension of only two business hours per week, but one that’s nonetheless looked at as precedent setting for the city’s business community. Coquitlam council voted last week to carry out a public hearing regarding an extension to liquor serving hours at The Keg Steakhouse & Bar at 2991 Lougheed Hwy. The proposed changes would allow The Keg to serve liquor for two additional hours over the course of the week, extending its liquorserving hours from midnight to 1 a.m. on both Fridays and Saturdays. Despite what some on council viewed as a minor change, some around the table — as well as an accompanying city staff report — noted that the city has traditionally refused such requests in the past.

“Once we do one, you will know that we will get other ones,” said Coun. Mae Reid. “I’m not saying I have a problem with it. This will be precedent setting in our city.” The two options before council call for either a public hearing on the matter — one funded by The Keg at a cost of about $1,100 — or allowing the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch to conduct its own review. Because The Keg’s location is away from residential areas, a handful of councillors saw little use in the public consultation process. Though the move to conduct a public hearing was eventually passed, Couns. Lou Sekora, Doug Macdonell and Brent Asmundson voted against the measure. “There’s nothing before me that says there’s anything negative about this application,” said Macdonell, adding that the business has proven itself to be a “good corporate

citizen.” Those sentiments were echoed by Sekora, who said his vote was based partly on the fact that the Keg isn’t a drinking-only establishment. “There’s no residents close to there and they’re an eating establishment, so they’re not like a cabaret or a pub that is going to be open just for drinking purposes only.” Couns. Linda Reimer, Selina Robinson and Barrie Lynch, however, argued that the city should conduct its own consultation. Had council opted to have the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch conduct its own review, the city would have had little to no say over the application. “I think if we’re going to depart from such a tradition, we’re basically setting a precedent for the city … I see no harm in having a public consultation to allow there to be a vetting of the different opinions,” Lynch said. “I prefer going through

slated for the first week of June. The city did compile a list of 25 prioritized cycling routes that needed improvements in 2008, a process Zawadzki was a part of. He said about $90,000 in municipal funds has been spent annually on cycling infrastructure in recent years, though he conceded that other levels of government — TransLink and the province — have also moved slowly on providing money for the cycling crowd. In any event, Zawadzki said the amount of money the city spends on bike infrastructure does not come close to the amount needed to subsidize the 25 projects. “With that type of funding, it will take 75 years to fund the 25 priorities that we’ve identified. That top 25 list is a fantasy right now unless there is some sort of changes.” Though he lauded the cross-town route as a way to promote healthy living while cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions, Mayor Richard Stewart did concede that local cycling infrastructure needs more funding. “We need to expand the safe use of bicycles as an alternative form of transBike portation — this does that,” Stewart said. “I want us to move faster on the improvements for bikes in our community. We make enormous investments in the infrastructure for the car. We need to make some investments for bikes as well.” Coun.

other levels of government to jump on board with more money — particularly in the area of Lougheed Highway near Riverview Hospital. “Forty thousand dollars is an inexpensive way of filling the existing gaps in a cross-town route without any major costs of road improvements,” he said. “But it’s nuts with people trying to cycle down certain sections of [the Lougheed Highway].”

In approving the replacement school for Centennial, the Ministry of Education has also committed to looking at Centennial for the Neighbourhood Learning Centres (NLC) initiative. The idea is to ﬁnd unique and innovative ways to design schools with community use in mind. Schools within a NLC site could include services such as: Child-care programs; Health Clinics; Sports programs; Family Resource centres; and recreational programs, to name a few examples. The intent behind this initiative is for schools and community organizations to partner together to create opportunities where people can access educational and community services under one roof. To gain a better understanding of community needs, the district will be holding a community consultation with Centennial residents to determine how to best bring together community services and the school community.

Police plan patrols at Buntzen Lake

Police are putting the community on notice that uniformed and plainclothes officers will be patrolling the Buntzen Lake area this summer to enforce Liquor Control Act regulations. “We encourage the public to come to Buntzen and enjoy what the area has to offer, minus the alcohol,” Const. Christopher Nordlund, one of the Coquitlam RCMP officers dedicated to rural patrols, said in a release. “As the majority of calls for police service at Buntzen Lake are alcohol-related, the emphasis of the parks patrol is, of course, the enforcement of the Liquor Act. Public safety is our priority.” The fine for consuming liquor in a public place has increased to $230. Last summer, 118 tickets were issued, and police were called 58 times for various things like impaired driving and drugs. Police warn that those caught drinking in the park can expect to receive a ticket and to be evicted from the park. Officers will also be in boats to patrol activities on the water.

Opinion

Our View Drivers babbling on cellphones Promises are easy, are real menaces to society I am writing to express my continued concern with the amount of drivers still using their cellphones while driving. Although I will concede that there has been a reduction overall, there are still many drivers that are blatantly breaking the law and, by doing so, are endangering the lives of those around them. Their egocentric behaviour and utter To The disregard for the travesty they could set in place makes these drivers a menace. When the seatbelt laws came into effect many years ago and law enforcement set up the seatbelt roadblocks, I believe that this compelled the last few people to implement the change.

Although I am affected as a taxpayer by a driver failing to have their seatbelt harnessed in an accident, through offsetting health-care and emergency services, I feel much more directly affected by these impaired drivers who feel that their phone calls are more important than human life. It is imperative that more is done to ensure compliance to this law.

but money’s scarce

ext spring. That’s when the province now says it will begin construction on the long-awaited Evergreen Line. The old construction date was this year, but now Transportation Minister Shirley Bond says shovels will hit the ground in spring 2011. “I can understand how people have been waiting for a very long time — in fact, decades — for this project,” Bond told The NOW. “We have made a commitment that they’re not going to have to wait any longer. We are going to go to construction next spring.” There’s only one problem: that pesky $573million funding shortfall. Of that amount, TransLink is on the hook for $400 million, while a proposed P3 that has yet to materialize is supposed to make up the remaining $173 million. Bond’s plan? Hit up the mayors’ council, which consists of Metro Vancouver politicians tasked with approving the plans a nowappointed TransLink board of directors comes up with. The mayors are in an impossible position, with only two choices in front of them. The first is to agree to a potential board plan to raise all sorts of fees to fund the Evergreen Line, a move sure to make each mayor the target of taxpayer anger. The second is to refuse to agree to such a plan, which would also make mayors the target of public anger, this time for failing to adequately fund the regional transportation system. If there were a new source of money, either federal, provincial or in the form of a P3, we likely would have heard about it by now. But the feds and the province have already kicked in a combined $827 million, and it’s unlikely they plan to give more, especially as senior governments around the world contemplate raising taxes on all sorts of goods and services to make up for the borrowing done to stimulate the economy. Where does that leave the Evergreen Line? As nothing more than a plan.

provide the only path back to respectability for the BC Liberals, but it’s by no means guaranteed. Hansen rhymed off a number of economic indicators and forecasts that all point upwards for B.C. Job numbers are up, as are building permits and retail sales. Mills are reopening as the forest industry lurches back to life, and the mining industry appears stronger than at any time in recent memory. Several economic forecasts put B.C. at the head of the pack when it comes to economic growth among provinces. Once an economic recovery takes a firmer hold, will the electorate be more forgiving toward the BC Liberals and more suspicious of the NDP’s perceived weakness? Or will a recovery put everyone in a comfort zone that allows enough people to take a chance on the New Democrats? The answer to this puzzle may provide the key to the next election. In the meantime, Hansen and his colleagues have to find a way to make people listen to them once more. As long as the din over the HST blocks everything else out, the government will continue be ignored (or vilified) — and the prospects of that third party rising will increase. There may come a day when Hansen visits the press gallery and gets his message out in a more effective way, but that day still seems a long way off.

Modest homes are best Re: “Density is about more than highrises,” letter to the editor, Friday, May 21. Thank you, Ms. Shoemaker, for giving us your vision of the Austin Heights neighbourhood. The suggestion of smaller single dwelling housing (2,000 to 3,000 square feet) as opposed to the grandiose dwellings that are being built, paired with greenspace for a yard — what a concept. The Coquitlam that I grew up in was exactly that — we had a modest home, a front and backyard to play in (yes, play, outside) and trees, plants, flowers. The neighbours knew each other’s names; we didn’t even have to lock our doors because it was safe. Monster homes of 6,000 to 7,000 square feet are like the gas-guzzling SUVs that were a passing fad. People scorn drivers that own those because we are becoming more aware of the damage they do to our Earth. Excessive homes are not necessary, and the energy and cost to heat and power them is also unnecessary. I further concur with Ms. Shoemaker’s thoughts on highrise towers. That is not Coquitlam. Nor should it ever be Coquitlam. Please, council, have a realistic view of a sustainable and livable city with an Earth-friendly, neighbourhood-friendly vision. Ms. Shoemaker, as my teacher at Porter Street Elementary you were an inspiration to us then, as you continue to be now all these years later. Thank you. Shelby Smith Port Moody

Private schools help public Re: “Pull private school funding,” letter to the editor, Wednesday, May 19. If Mr. Lang’s suggestion of pulling private school funding has anything to do with budget issues in the public school system, I think a

reality check is in order. If the government was to actually pull funding from private schools, here is the reality: Only the very wealthy could afford the full cost of that education (as is shown with the families that attend full private schools). Those parents who send their kids to partially funded independent schools (like myself) who earn a middle class income and who are sacrificing a lot of things just to be able to afford the tuition would inevitably withdraw and head back into the public school system if their fees suddenly rose by 50 per cent. The result? A huge influx of kids into the public school system that weren’t there before. You might think that as a result the government will just move those financial resources back into the public school and the financial To The issues of the public school system would be solved. The reality is that independent schools only get half as much per student as public schools do. They would be short the other 50 per cent when these kids get into the public system. Parents who are sending their kids to independent schools are actually saving money, not taking it away. Mr. Lang should also be aware that as a parent of an independent school child, I am also a taxpayer. I do not have the choice to choose where my school taxes go and, therefore, my taxes are also funding public schools. Not only am I paying money for school, but additionally my taxes are being sent into the public school system as a taxpayer. So unless you are going to give me the choice as a taxpayer to have my taxes put directly into the private school system, I suggest that you look at the numbers before making that statement. The public needs to be aware that there are different levels of funding for different types of private schools, and so pulling the funding

Rudeness is growing

As one drives out of Vancouver towards Abbotsford, one can see the hundreds of millions of government-borrowed money being spent on very expensive short-term projects. When the projects are completed and the senior governments’ overall debt total is revealed, we will wonder if we were misled into believing our current economy is one of the best. In downtown Vancouver and Victoria, there should be a thermometer-like display which daily registers the debt of our senior governments. Without this current information available to all, we can and are being easily misled. Bob Ritchie Salmon Arm

After spending a number of years in the call centre industry, I’ve come to notice an ever growing culture of disconnect. Is this due to a critical failure in our education system, the daily barrage of negative information or simply a collective laziness of character, kindness or manners? The disrespect shown between humans is growing as we continue to remove ourselves from Editor each other with our ever expanding digital communication. Yet people continue to move closer to each other by migrating to urban centres while perceiving cultural differences as ignorance or stupidity. Rudeness is becoming commonplace in this country as we grow impatient with ourselves and take our frustrations out on those around us. Please, before you pick up the phone and start yelling at the voice on the other end, take a moment to assess your situation, formulate your concerns in an understandable way and perhaps try asking for assistance instead of being a jackass. Reality shows that promote this type of behaviour are just that: scripted reality shows. Be kind. Show your positive character and manners in every interaction of every day and I promise you your life will be so much healthier, happier and wonderful. Be Canadian. And to the disgraceful companies that treat your customer service staff like disposable robots and your customers as nothing more

New PoCo ICBC centre goes green

Nancy Moran shows off the drought resistant plants on the roof of the new Insurance Corp. of B.C. facility at 1930 Oxford Connector.

new hub for drivers and vehicles is looking for the green light on environmental standards. The Insurance Corp. of B.C.’s new driver licensing centre in Port Coquitlam has been completed, and has now registered to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold standard for building design. Located at 1930 Oxford Connector, the facility boasts a variety of environmentally friendly features designed to benefit both patrons and staff — and marks the beginning of ICBC’s foray into green construction. “It’s very exciting. It’s our first LEED building,” said Nancy Scott, ICBC’s facilities planning manager, adding that all Crown corporations are mandated to build nothing less than LEED gold. “We’ve never done that before, so we had to walk all through that process and learn all of that. It’s very exciting because it meets our energy policy guidelines, and we’re proud to be part of that whole sustainability notion.” Recycled rubber flooring was laid inside the building, and bioswales were installed to remove silt and pollution from surface runoff water. A lighting rethink also plays a big part in reducing

the facility’s carbon footprint. Perimeter day lighting was configured to help naturally light the building, and motion sensors were placed throughout the centre to ensure energy use is kept to a minimum. Behind the scenes, ICBC staff are being supported to make environmental choices, too. Bike racks allow employees to store their rides, and showers let staff clean up after a vigorous commute to the office. Meeting the LEED gold standard was no small feat for the Port Coquitlam facility, which spans 9,000 square feet (835 square metres) on a three-acre (1.2-hectare) parcel of land just south of Lougheed Highway. Given its nature as a driver training and testing facility, the PoCo centre had to be able to accommodate ample parking and an asphalt surface so motorcycle, bus and tractor-trailer operators could be tested on site. “Our requirements are kind of unique because we need a large lot for the building, a large lot for truck testing and a large lot for motorcycle testing,” Scott said. “Finding the right piece of property was important to us.” To mitigate the environmental effects of the facility, locally sourced paving and asphalt were used to

Jane says the centre can help with such problems as allergies, infection, arthritis and osteo arthritis, rheumatism, backaches, over-weight, sinus, chest pains, arm and shoulder pains, asthmatic wheezing, headaches, insomnia, stroke, quit smoking, sciatica, and eyesight.

create a pervious pavement structure. Other site requirements included ready access to a highway for testing purposes and a facility that could be easily navigated by new drivers. The location of the full-service facility is also intended to serve the burgeoning Tri-Cities population, as the previous Lougheed Highway and Coquitlam Centre locations have been consolidated into the PoCo facility. “This is a young, growing community,” Scott said. “It will also serve that young growing community and market area of Port Coquitlam, and Pitt Meadows to a point, and Coquitlam and Port Moody. “We had a staff meeting and we were told they did 400 transactions in one day. It’s busy. It’s very busy there.” The Canada Green Building Council’s thirdparty LEED rating system follows internationally accepted benchmarks for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. Each project must meet certain prerequisites in five areas: sustainable site development, water efficiency, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. According to the council’s website, the LEED certification process takes at least 13 weeks following registration.

Fundraising dinner at Sasamat helps send kids to camp

ho knew scenic dining could help a child experience the great outdoors? The Sasamat Outdoor Centre is gearing up for its seventh-annual Dinner on the Patio this Friday, featuring food and entertainment on the shores of Sasamat Lake to benefit a good cause. The event, which caters to adults, is a yearly fundraiser for the centre’s Send a Kid to Camp campaign, which helped send more than 100 children and youth to camp last year. Brandon McClounie, Sasamat’s director of community programs, encourages people to bring a friend, coworker or neighbour to the night on the lake. “You will feel good knowing that you are helping support families offer their children a chance to develop their confidence, develop healthy active lifestyles, learn to safely enjoy the outdoors and meet new friends,” McClounie said in a press release. Dinner includes a burger (either beef, chicken, salmon or veggie), salads and a beverage. The evening will also feature plenty of activities for those feeling nostalgic for their own days at camp. Highlights include archery, canoeing and kayaking, in addition to a silent auction and raffle draws. There will be live entertainment by Chico and Tye, who will blend guitar and piano tunes. The event runs from 6:30 to 11 p.m. on May 28. Tickets are $30 and must be purchased in advance by calling the camp office at 604939-2268, Ext. 1, or visiting the centre’s website at www. sasamat.org. Individuals and businesses looking to donate a product, gift certificate or service are

invited to call the office. Sponsorships are also available, and support levels start at $100. Sponsors and donors will be recognized at the event as well as being acknowledged on the outdoor centre’s website and in its fall 2010 newsletter. Charitable tax receipts are available for donations and

contributions greater than $25 in value. The outdoor centre is a member of the Association of Neighbourhood Houses, a United Way agency that has served families and communities on the Lower Mainland since 1894. It’s located 10 kilometres north of Port Moody, at 3302 Senkler Rd. in Belcarra.

Student of the Month With her quiet poise, Zenlynn Tsang works behind the scenes to get things done at Pinetree Secondary and in the community. An Alpha Wolf student leader, Zenlynn has volunteered many hours for the past four years helping with school events. Based on her reliability, ability to work well with others, and her pleasant demeanor, she was one of the students selected to be a translator for a contingent of educators from China who visited the school for the day. She was an excellent ambassador. This year Zenlynn volunteered countless hours helping Mrs. Louie with the Grad Transitions program. Her commitment to her task

and the quality of her assistance were much appreciated! Although Zenlynn plans a career Zenlynn Tsang in science, reading plays an important role in her life, and she has been an active member of the school’s Book Lounge Club for the past few years. In addition,she has been an invaluable volunteer at both the school library and the Coquitlam Public Library, where she was a “Reading Buddy.” Zenlynn Tsang’s helpful nature and maturity have been much appreciated at Pinetree Secondary.

Eating healthy can actually be doable on a fixed income

In a tough economic environment, eating well on a budget can be challenging. Add in a fixed income when taxes and costs are rising, and it can seem impossible — and that’s why low-cost, highcalorie comfort foods that are readily available become tempting. But you don’t necessarily have to sacrifice important nutrients in exchange for convenience.

Eat at home

While they require more planning, home-cooked meals are an excellent way to minimize your grocery bill and they are typically healthier than the alternatives. “Eating at home is a great way to save money and create nutritious meals; because you control exactly what goes into your food, you are more likely to avoid excess calories as well,” Katie Clark, assistant clinical professor of nutrition at the University of California, San Francisco, said in a release. To save money while cooking at home, try some of these tips: • Make at least one meal meatless. Choose recipes that utilize eggs or dried beans — like pinto or northern beans — as the main protein. • Double your recipes and freeze leftovers or extra amounts of meat, bread and cooked vegetables. Bring extras to work for lunch or use the excess ingredients as inspiration for future meals. • Eat dinner as a family or consider having a weekly potluck with neighbours to reduce the cost per person. • Clip coupons, avoiding “new food” coupon gimmicks that often are lower in nutritional value. • Peruse recipe books for healthy ideas.

Plan ahead

Plan meals for the week in advance with a meal-planning chart or simple shopping list. Knowing what you already have in the pantry and what you intend to make ahead of time reduces impulse spending and improves the nutritional value of your meal. Take part of one day a week to plan the upcoming week’s menu. Search for meal planning charts on the Internet

for a variety of templates and convenient shopping tools. Read the supermarket flyers or look online for weekly specials that can help guide your meal planning. Post meal plans on the refrigerator door where the entire family can see them and refer back to them throughout the week. This also helps avoid the dreaded question, “What’s for dinner?”

post the costs on sale items; bring a calculator with you to

the supermarket or use the calculator on your cellphone.

Buying “family size” containers is sometimes a better

buy, providing you use all the food.

Shop once a week

In addition to shopping at grocery stores, Clark recommends trying local markets and even dollar stores. “Deals often abound on seasonal items, and you can find a wide variety of quality produce, meat and fish,” she notes. “Butchers offer occasional fresh or specialty items on sale. When you select the exact quantity you want, you save more money than you would with larger value packs that you may not use or that contribute unnecessarily to your daily caloric budget.” Some other suggestions include: • Only shop once a week. This makes it easier to avoid unnecessary purchases and encourages you to stick to your weekly menu. • Have a snack before you visit the store. Shopping on an empty stomach can lead to impulse buying. • Shop the perimeter, remembering that the least healthy and most overpriced packaged foods are concentrated in the middle aisles. • If fresh fruits and vegetables are cost-prohibitive, try the frozen or canned versions. • Buy generics, which are often less expensive than name-brand items. • Choose prepared foods with short ingredient lists and minimal additives or artificial ingredients.

Cost it out

Savvy shoppers know that using unit pricing can maximize their purchasing power. Commonly listed in small print below or to the side of the total price and as dollars or cents per unit of weight — such as pounds, ounces, or grams — unit pricing can be a valuable tool that helps you make an informed choice about your purchases.

Seniors falling for vitamin D

Whoever coined the word vitamin was either a genius or a marketing wizard. By connecting it to the words vital and vitality, vitamin consumption has become a preoccupation, if not an obsession, for millions. Unfortunately, when subjected to rigorous scrutiny, most vitamins, when provided as supplements, are a disappointment. Although vitamins in a regular diet are indeed essential, the benefits of taking more has nearly always resulted in dashed hopes; the one exception to this appears to be vitamin D. The Canadian Cancer Society recommends a daily intake of 1,000 IU during the winter months. They cite research from over 20 years that has shown a relationship between lack of vitamin D and cancer risk. In 2008, a report by the International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded that there is a relationship between low vitamin D and colorectal cancer. There is little credible research, however, on the use of vitamin D in preventing cardiovascular disease, but some studies conducted for other purposes, such as improvement in bone density and reduction in fractures, have suggested that vitamin D supplementation may be associated with reductions in blood

pressure. In addition, vitamin D is essential for promoting calcium absorption and for bone growth. Without sufficient levels, a person’s bones can become thin, brittle or misshapen. Vitamin D was also found to play a part in fall prevention among the elderly. Some medical conditions can cause loss of balance, confusion, dizziness or impaired perception of one’s surroundings causing accidents; for example, “missing” the chair or sofa when trying to sit down. The elderly also frequently take multiple medications, some of which may have side effects, including fatigue and blurred vision, that can affect one’s ability to move around properly. Taken in doses of anywhere from 200 to 1,000 units a day, vitamin D reduces the number of falls by 30 per cent, but its effect on the risk of experiencing that first fall was shown to be non-existent. How it works is unknown, but the speculation is a generally increased level of health and bone strength may simply be making the elderly who take vitamin D more vigorous and sturdy —leaving many to consider having elderly nursing home residents take vitamin D after consulting with their doctor.

Blue Devils dance to girls Valley soccer crown Stories by Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com The Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils made a pretty impressive statement last week — and hope to add the punctuation mark next week in Victoria. The Blue Devils blazed their way past Coquitlam rival the Centennial Centaurs 5-0 Thursday to collect the Fraser Valley AAA senior girls soccer crown — and potentially an easier route at the provincials, which run June 3 to 5 at Stelly’s. It was the third time this year that the two teams had crossed kicks, but this one wasn’t that much different than the first two. “Our girls were confident going in but cautiously so, because we knew (Centennial) didn’t want to lose a third time, they’re a good team,” said Best coach Alfonso Napoletano. “Our girls knew what they needed to do, they came out and gave it an extra 10 per cent.” Both teams already had a B.C. berth sewn up, a reward for winning their semifinal tests. The Blue Devils took control of the final quickly, when Kaila Henly cashed in the first of her three, just 12 minutes into the game. A couple of minutes later, she made it 2-0. The Cents, facing a tough blue Best wave, beared down and put up a determined front but couldn’t get past a vaunted backline. “We wanted to come out strong, to set a serious tone at the start of the game. We tried to get on top of them but they scored those two quick goals,” recalled Larry Moro, Centennial’s coach. “When they scored that third goal (early in the second half) it was over.” Ida Vitez got the first two goals of the second half, followed by Henly’s hat trick marker. The Cents, meanwhile, were held at bay by the Blue Devils defence. Delivering lock-down like performances were Marla McIlveen and Jocelyn Trenamin. Napoletano believes the squad is peaking at the right time, is in good health and is extremely confident in their abilities — keys to making a run at grabbing the school’s second senior soccer championship of the school year. The Best senior boys team prevailed for the school’s first-ever B.C. banner in November. “We’re strong at every position and we don’t really have a weak spot,” he noted. “The team chemistry is great, just like the boys. They have the commitment and the passion, now we’ve just got to do it and win five more games.” That his team is composed of mostly Grade 10 and 11s, with just two starters graduating this summer, gives Napoletano reason to believe that the best is yet to come. “We’ve gotten stronger each time out, and the girls have been extremely focused. They are on a mission.” The Centaurs, meanwhile, will shake off the loss and head into the provincials expecting another learning experience. “We put a lot of emphasis on the semifinal because we wanted to avoid having to play a couple of playoff games, but Best is a very good team. “Our lineup is extremely young, we’ve got about two-thirds of our team in grades 9 and 10, with only three Gr. 12 starters. For them, our goal all year long was to get to the B.C.s so it’s a success.”

Adanacs cool as ice in thrilling home opener

Lisa King/NOW

Cory Conway orchestrates another offensive drive during Saturday’s game in Coquitlam.

Maybe it was the bright lights and getting acclimatized to their renovated rink that left them a little awed. Perhaps it was the new cement comfort of their larger and more modern dressing room. Whatever gave the Coquitlam Adanacs cause for pause Saturday was brushed aside with five goals in the final 4:05 minutes, rocketing the hometown Adanacs past the Maple Ridge Burrards 13-12 at the Sports Centre. Peter Veltman coolly slotted home the winner with a second left on the arena’s new score clock — 1.3 seconds, to be precise — to cap a thriller of a comeback. It came together very quickly, as Coquitlam used its final timeout with four seconds left to craft one last play. The Burrards looked as though they were watching the final epi-

sode of Lost, as Cory Conway fed Veltman in the slot to give the A’s their third win in as many games. “We were trying to call it with 14 seconds left but, maybe we weren’t meant to have it, maybe we were suppose to be pressed for time,” smiled first-year head coach Neil Doddridge. “Whatever, the offensive talent took over.” With Coquitlam playing its second contest in as many days, Maple Ridge took advantage early with a 3-0 lead midway through the first. The Adanacs closed the gap but the visitors seemed to have an answer each time until the end, when it was the Burrards who looked tired and flatfooted. Except for a few minutes in the second, after Jason Jones and Dane Dobbie knotted it at 7-7, the Burrards were calling the shots. When Dayne Michaud gave

Maple Ridge a 12-8 lead with 4:48 left in the third, a few hundred people scurried for the exits. Even Dobbie’s fourth tally of the night 43 seconds later seemed a toolittle, too-late – for most everyone except the Adanacs. One of the comeback’s architects, second-year sharpshooter Cory Conway, said the winning drive was a straight-forward plan. “It was get the attention drawn up high, skip the pass and then find Veltman in the middle. He made no mistake and it was a great way to win a game,” said Conway, who netted a goal and four assists, including a helper on Jason Wulder’s game tying effort at 18:51. Dobbie led all shooters with seven points, while rookie Jason Jones popped in two goals and five helpers.

A day earlier, Coquitlam steamrolled Burnaby 15-8, thanks to three straight goals in a span of 2:26 to start the third. Dobbie counted five goals and Jones four, while Conway chipped in three times and set up five others. For Maple Ridge coach Daren Fridge, Saturday’s loss provided more evidence that there’s no safe lead in the Western Lacrosse Association. “I think being up by three, four with three and a half minutes left we kind of fell into watching and being spectators, we forgot what was being successful for us,” Fridge noted. “What’s (Coquitlam’s) weakest area? The backend? I’m sure they’ll make flight plans or spend money to fix it.” The Adanacs’ next test is Saturday, 7 p.m. when Langley comes to the Sports Centre.
