Plehanov trial delayed Simone Blais sblais@thenownews.com

The case against the substitute teacher charged with sexually abusing Coquitlam students will be delayed until at least the fall due to court scheduling conflicts. Aleksandr Vladimirovich Plehanov, 35, was scheduled to appear in Port Coquitlam provincial court Tuesday afternoon for an arraignment hearing. Crown counsel Susan McCallum told the court, however, that Plehanov’s counsel, Lisa Helps, had contacted prosecutors about a conflict in schedules. Helps is overseeing a lengthy murder trial in Prince George that involves several witnesses. McCallum said Aug. 10 is the next date the two counsels could schedule a pre-trial conference, subject to the conclusion of Helps’ other trial. “There is still more material that needs to be reviewed,” McCallum said. Plehanov faces four charges of sexual exploitation for allegedly touching seven- and eight-year-old girls at school. Three charges stem from March 10 allegations, while the fourth dates back to Oct. 13, 2009. He was arrested in March and released on bail with 13 conditions, including staying away from schools, daycares, swimming pools, playgrounds, skating rinks and rec centres. He is prohibited from working or volunteering with kids younger than 14. He is also not allowed to contact the alleged victims. Plehanov was arrested again in early June for allegedly breaching the terms of his release. He was released with additional bail conditions that preclude him from being in the Tri-Cities without the written permission of his bail supervisor.

ARTISTIC EXPRESSION: A woman walks through the Leigh Square Community Arts Village in Port Coquitlam, where a wooden tank designed by artist Neil Chung is on display as part of the Green Revolution exhibit. The multimedia group show, which runs through Sunday, examines the growing movement and impact of greening and sustainability in architecture, design and community practices.

Burquitlam development approved Clarke Road project will feature highrises, townhouses and a grocery store Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com A building boom is about to begin in Burquitlam to prepare for an anticipated Evergreen Line station. Coquitlam council approved a development permit and zoning amendments Monday for a mixed-use high-density project that will include two highrise towers, six townhouses, three retail units and a grocery store in the 500 block of Clarke Road. Co-applicants Bosa Properties and Safeway have been working diligently to make this project a reality, said city planner Erica Tiffany. “We would like very much to see this application move forward because it’s a critical element to achieving the transit village commercial uses around

the future Evergreen Line light-rail ALRT station,” Tiffany said. “It’s going to be a catalyst for the Coquitlam neighbourhood plan.” Before going ahead with the project, however, Bosa must meet two conditions: find a loading space for the first tower and identify additional off-street parking spots. Since the development will be near the future Burquitlam Station, Coquitlam’s transit-village policy allows for a 30-per-cent reduction in onsite parking. Bosa requested a 20-per-cent parking variance, bringing the required spaces down to 604 from 695. Coun. Mae Reid is concerned this reduction could set a precedent for future developments, which could leave the site short hundreds of parking spots. “Maybe the person living in that apartment doesn’t have a car, but they might actually know

another person on the planet who might have a car to drive and visit them,” Reid said. “At least they’d have a place to park … It’s going to be a nightmare for us.” Like Reid, Coun. Lou Sekora believes the developer needs to deal with parking concerns. “My heart will not bleed for them at all … They’ll build. They’ll sell. They’re gone,” Sekora said. “Who’s left with the headaches? The residents of this community and we are, as councillors.” However, Mayor Richard Stewart said it would be wasteful to provide too many parking spaces since they will sit vacant once the Evergreen Line is built. “If we don’t think SkyTrain is coming, let’s not approve this rezoning because it’s inappropriate if

During the closures, there will be a pedestrian/cyclist detour available to trail users. In addition, trail use will be restored in the even-

No gun shops in Port Moody, now or in the future: council There’s no shot for businesses to sell firearms and ammunition in Port Moody anymore after the city took aim at this practice last week. Council unanimously passed a bylaw amendment that prohibits retail sale and manufacturing of firearms and ammunitions, as well as related uses, throughout the city. Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini said the bylaw won’t target existing businesses, since no current companies have applied to sell or produce these items.

“We acted before anybody gets a bad idea,” he said.

Probably not. I think it’s simple. There’s nothing hidden,” he said. “It’s just as simple as that. It’s not an activity that can be supported.”

Have you checked your Child?

Pharmacist resigns from board Simone Blais sblais@thenownews.com An outspoken Coquitlam pharmacist who resigned her position on her profession’s regulatory board will have to wait and see whether her pot stirring was worth it. Bev Harris, known as a vocal anti-smoking advocate, found herself in the midst of a provincial debate on the roles of pharmacists and pharmacy techs last week, as she joined hundreds of other pharmacists concerned about regulatory changes on the horizon. “The reason why we have a college is we’re supposed to be Bev self-regulating,” she said, adding that the organization’s 31 staff members and million-dollar budget can be incredibly effective in creating change. But, according to Harris, the change should mirror the ethics upheld by pharmacists. “We’re self-regulating for a reason, so we can protect the public.” The College of Pharmacists of B.C. drafted bylaw revisions that would allow for pharmacy technicians to be included in its membership, and the college board voted in June to move ahead with a plan to regulate the techs. The college intended to change the scope of the techs’ practice to allow for a greater role behind the pharmacy counter: affording independent authority, responsibility and liability to prepare, process and compound prescriptions. Current techs could undergo a voluntary regulation process involving several exams, and the first pharmacy techs would be regulated by Dec. 31. But the changes caused enough of a stir in the pharmacist community that 500 people

signed a petition to force the board to demand the college hold a special meeting. At that meeting, Harris said, a vast majority of pharmacists voted in favour of a motion requesting the board revisit the issue and reconsider pharmacy tech regulations. As a board member, Harris took an oath of office requiring she follow the board’s collective decisions, and was warned against speaking out. But she said she felt so strongly on the issue that she resigned. “It was either resign or be kicked off,” she said with a chuckle. “They have a governance model that you should all speak with one voice, and you should not speak out on any Harris issues. That goes against, to me, what their motto is, which is to protect the public — and this is a public protection issue.” Harris was able to speak at the July 13 meeting alongside more than 20 other pharmacists who oppose the regulation in favour of certification — a process that would require more education and training. “We had over 200 people and they voted overwhelmingly that this was a concern, that the board should reconsider what they’re doing,” Harris said, adding that the board’s meeting in September will reveal the direction the college will take. “Pharmacists never get together on anything. This is the first time ever that they’ve ever spoken up on anything. Certification versus regulation is what we wanted in the first place, but it saves face for everybody. It’s just the right way to go.” Now on the outside looking in, Harris said she’ll be able to gauge in September whether resigning her position was worth it. “I don’t know right now,” she said. “We’ll see.”

Opinion

Humans are the problem Re: “Nature does the most damage,” letter to the editor, Friday, July 16. I am writing to respond to the assertion by Sandra Robinson that the Hope Slide, in south-central B.C., “… dwarfs any damage that past logging, mining and other resource extraction activities have done at the hands of man.” She concluded that “there is nothing that we humans can do to the To The environment that can match the devastating power of nature itself.” Apparently, Ms. Robinson hasn’t heard about the International Panel on Climate Change, established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme, to investigate the extent of human

impact on the Earth’s climate, and to recommend remedial and adaptive actions. The Kyoto Protocol Agreement, adopted in 1997, was an initial response to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that were driving climate change. Insofar as governments have failed to live up to their Kyoto commitments, some scientists warn that we may be approaching a tipping point beyond which catastrophic, Editor irreversible climate change is unavoidable. The devastation caused by the Hope Slide pales in comparison unless people collectively act to quickly cut their greenhouse gas emissions. D. Wilson Port Moody

Off-duty officers need protection

ith all the negative news about police over the past few years, it’s doubly good news to hear that a B.C. police officer has won a recent legal victory. The officer, a member of the Transit Police Service, was injured stopping a drunk driver in 2008 in Chilliwack. The unarmed, off-duty constable spotted the weaving truck as it clipped a parked car. He called for on-duty officers, but no one was close by, as they were at another emergency. The officer tried to stop the driver himself. In return, he was repeatedly punched. The driver shoved the officer out of the truck and then dragged the officer and ran over his arm. Battered, the officer still managed to get up and arrest the driver, whose blood alcohol level was 0.25, more than three times the legal limit. The legal battle started when the officer tried to get WorkSafeBC to compensate him for his injuries. The agency said the officer was off duty, and therefore it was not a workplace injury. The legal wrangle has recently ended in the officer’s favour. A WorkSafeBC appeals tribunal has agreed that officers, who have sworn an oath to keep the peace, can place themselves on duty to prevent a crime. The ideals of service — of putting the security and safety of others above their own — is the source of the public’s respect for police officers. Police who consider themselves on duty at all times, whenever they are needed, are the kind of officers we need. And a ruling like this one goes a small way to acknowledging their work.

Then there’s granddaddy of them all: an oftrepeated promise not to sell B.C. Rail, and then doing just that in a questionable transaction (to say the least, given there is a criminal trial mixed up with it). Piling up the hypocrisy begins to lend a stench to a government. Throw in the perceived deceitfulness associated with the HST, and the air is getting fairly ripe around the Liberals right now. Will New Democrats learn a lesson from this? With electoral victory in 2013 seeming more likely by the day, the NDP would be wise to resist the temptation of cloaking themselves with moral piety, of pretending everything in government is so simple, and that everything the Liberals do these days is horrible. NDP leader Carole James has smartly backed away from automatically scrapping the HST. And the NDP hasn’t exactly said it will forgo any of the gambling expansion either. The NDP will need to provide some coherent, credible alternative policies to the Liberals. But if they overplay their hand and make unrealistic statements like the Liberals did before they formed government, New Democrats may find themselves a one-term administration only.

Immigration changes leave applicants hanging In reply to recent letters to the editor regarding immigration, I thought it to be an appropriate time for me to add my two cents. I am a foreigner working in Vancouver, and have found over the last two and a half years how frustrating immigration is. For example, someone who has over a year’s work experience in Canada, has contributed to Canadian society, who is an English speaker and who has a permanent job offer can be refused permanent residency. You do, in fact, have to have a job offer to be considered for permanent residency under the skilled worker category, the most popular avenue of immigration, and Pat Creighton’s comments on family sponsorship speak for themselves. I find it difficult to read unfounded comments on immigration from people who seem ignorant to the facts and tribulations that face immigrants. I will be honest. I find some avenues of immigration for certain immigrants incredibly frustrating, so I thought I would give an example of the latest rule change that Immigration Canada has made — which is simply absurd — and maybe it will help people understand a little of what we skilled immigrants on the other side of the coin go through. It appears that Immigration can implement new rules without any warning that they are going to. Some of the rules are so dramatically different to their predecessors that someone can no longer apply for permanent residency under a certain category that they had been preparing to apply under. You must understand that an application can take months, if not years, to actually work towards and prepare for.

As of June 26, 2010, all applicants must submit the original English or French language test results from a designated language testing agency in order to be considered for processing. I am a native English speaker. In fact, I am English-born. Previously, you only had to write a letter of proof that you are a native English or French speaker (with accompanying evidence). The initial stunned amusement that this news first provided was quickly replaced with a further sense of frustration and annoyance when the realization of the repercussions of having to sit such a test set in. If you are applying under the Canadian experience class or federal skilled worker class, the odds are that you are already working in Canada, which would mean you are on a work permit. To The Work permits have expiry dates; usually they are only valid for one year and are practically impossible to renew (which would be a whole separate discussion). With that in mind, remember that this rule has been implemented without warning. Now take into consideration the fact that there are only two institutions that you can take the test at on specified dates, dates that are full for the next two months. That, coupled with the fact that you can’t submit your permanent residency application for processing until you have the English test results, means that you are suddenly two months delayed in making your application for residency — you are in a catch-22 situation. Had the implementation of such a rule been given with warning, the repercussions would not cause so much reason for concern to someone whose direction in life literally hangs in the balance, for no sensible reason. Also, there is, of course, a further cost of $285 per person to sit the test to take into

account and to add to an already very expensive process. This all just adds insult to injury to the simple fact that a native English-speaking person raised in an English-speaking country where the same Queen’s English (a Queen whom we share and whom Canada just recently revered) is spoken as that which is spoken in Canada, is made to take an English proficiency test — while I stand surrounded most mornings on my way to work by nonEnglish speaking immigrants. You figure it out. Maybe it’s the accent they can’t grasp. Alexandra McPherson Port Moody

Bear problem lies in zoning changes

It is sad that so many of the bears in the Coast Meridian area are being shot. Getting into garbage is definitely an attraction, but has anyone asked why there are so many bears coming down the mountain? If you go up a little further, you will see the huge amount of trees and land that have been destroyed to make way for subdivisions. This land has been their habitat for years. Who gave permission for such a dynamic change to the wildlife’s living area? Perhaps we need to look at the source of the bear problem, not the ending. Ten thousand dollar garbage fines will not stop the bears from having to come down the mountain to find food. I agree that we all need to be more aware regarding locking up our garbage, but the question should be, “Why are these animals coming into residential areas to look for food when they should be eating the berries and food supply that have been destroyed?” Someone in zoning needs to be held

accountable. This is a human error, not the fault of the bears. Tossia Mitchell Port Coquitlam

Gulf-size disaster looms CNN knows that the public will soon lose interest in the Gulf disaster, especially in the dog days of summer. Then it’s the September stampede to get the kids back to school. A catastrophe of millennial proportion becomes a footnote to busy lives. Enbridge, meanwhile, is planning to smash a pipeline from the tarsands to our West Coast, so that massive tankers can crowd our inner passages. Doubtless they will hand us BP-style assurances about their invincible clean-up technologies. Are we all just asleep at the wheel? Or do we just believe the corporate spin on TV because it’s convenient to do so? Doug Rolling Port Coquitlam

Competitions

Call issued for entries to Wearable Art Awards The next incarnation of the Wearable Art Awards may be seven months away, but the Port Moody Arts Centre Society is already looking for entries. The deadline for applications to the 2011 contest is Dec. 10, and next year’s event is planned for Feb. 18 and 19. The popular competition features thought-provoking creations for the human body designed by artists from around the world. The 2011 edition of the fashion-meets-art event will feature three marquee categories — Open, Headdress and Brassiere — on top of a handful of others: Second Life, Best in Show, Student Participation, Use of Technology, Ethnic Expression, Material of the Year and People’s Choice. A panel of jury members will dole out $5,000 for category winners, though the People’s Choice award will be determined by members of the public. “This year, categories are form-based, while an expanded list of awards will consider all entries,” Jane Matthews, the society’s executive director, said in a press release. “Our jury will be weighting the scoring when selecting category and award winners in favour of conceptual message and wow-factor. We have also introduced a Material of the Year award, and for 2011 that material is paper. Through the expansion of our awards, we believe the event now appeals to a broader range of wearable art designers.” Next year’s entries will be modelled during two performances in the Galleria at Port Moody’s Civic Centre before being displayed at the arts centre from March 3 to April 10, 2011. Applications must be submitted online at www. wearableartawards.com/apply.

Magazine relaunch party this Friday

Paul vanPeenen/NOW

Gleneagle Secondary grad Tracy Stefanucci heads up a magazine that encourages readers to participate in creating arts and culture. John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com

ou can excuse Tracy Stefanucci for the difficulty she experienced in trying to encapsulate a wide-reaching mission statement in one word. The Port Moody native was in that boat four years ago when launching the first incarnation of her arts and culture magazine, which ended up being called one cool word magazine. Fast forward four years and the name has changed, albeit slightly, to OCW Magazine. “I really wanted to have a name when we started. We just needed to think of one cool word — all good magazine titles have one cool word,” she said. “It grew to become the perfect title, and it stuck. There’s a lot of spirit and cheekiness as well in it, so it works for us.” Four years after OCW’s first edition, Stefanucci will trumpet the magazine’s re-launch on Friday, July 23 at Vancouver’s Rickshaw Theatre. The events kick off at 7:30 p.m., and will be filled out with live music, improv comedy and just about anything else that falls under the magazine’s mantra of, “Don’t just receive culture — participate in creating it.” “We’re refining what we’re doing. We’re trying to find new ideas, new voices and a new way of experi-

encing culture, and a big part of that is pushing the boundaries of various forms,” Stefanucci said. “I’m trying to be more than just a magazine in a lot of ways.” Having developed an interest in publishing and the creative arts while a student at Gleneagle Secondary, Stefanucci followed those instincts and skills into the publishing realm at the ripe age of 20. She started the magazine in 2006 along with cofounder and former graphic designer Ken Yong, and relies solely on the help of about 15 volunteers to get four issues out the door per year. Focusing on off-the-beaten-path elements of arts and culture, Stefanucci’s modus operandi hasn’t changed that much, although her game plan has. “When we started this we had absolutely no idea what we were doing and we were learning as we went,” said Stefanucci, 24. “After four years of doing this, you really start to learn how these things work. Now we’re at the point where we want to take everything we’ve learned and put it into the product.” What used to be a 32-page product grew to 50 pages, and the latest edition — dubbed “5.1/#17” — will feature 60 pages worth of “literary work, pieces of art and music.” “We are moving a bit more towards the feeling of a book in some ways — it’s going to be a sort of hybrid between a book, a magazine or a literary jour-

ICBC CLAIM?

nal. And with that feel, we think it works to come out three times a year,” said Stefanucci, who holds a BA in creative writing, Spanish and education. Boasting a modest circulation of about 500 issues, OCW is well versed in the challenges of trying to keep a print publication viable. Since the magazine was established, Stefanucci has seen similar arts publications — the Terminal City Weekly and The Nerve, for example — fall by the wayside. “[Keeping print viable] really is the question that is on everyone’s mind. It’s just like when music videos came out — people didn’t stop listening to the radio,” she said. “Print has to have a real sense of quality, it has to offer something special. It has to be something you want to keep, collect and hold on to.” Each edition of OCW previously carried a compilation CD with local bands, though that freebie will now move to the online world exclusively after Friday’s re-launch. The compilation CD will be available through the OCW website — www.ocwmagazine.ca — as a free download. OCW’s re-launch party kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Friday and features music by Parlour Steps, Vincent Parker and Elephant Train, and comedy courtesy of The Sunday Service, Bronx Cheer and Man Hussy. Tickets are $15 each and include an OCW subscription. Tickets are available for purchase online at www.brownpapertickets.com.

City to reduce posted speed on section of Noons Creek Drive Stories by Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com Speeders take note: Port Moody council has steered the way towards slower traffic on local streets. Last week, council voted unanimously to reduce the posted speed limit on Noons Creek Drive 30 km/h from 50 km/h from David Avenue to the school zone near Mountain Meadows Elementary. As a Noons Creek resident, Coun. Diana Dilworth has experienced traffic problems firsthand. “Having lived at the bottom of Noons Creek, the first six years we would have cars coming around the drive at Noons Creek and crashing through the fence and taking out the hydro transmission box probably two or three times a year,” Dilworth said. “We haven’t actually had such an incident probably in the last four years since some of the [traffic-calming] measures have

been put in place. Can more be done? Absolutely. I don’t know that reducing the speed limit is going to do any good, but … we’ll wait and see.” Coun. Karen Rockwell supported the speed reduction but cautioned residents to be careful what they wish for. “I would hazard a guess that … if the speed limit is down to 30 km/h, we will get what we had in Moody Centre after we traffic-calmed it — a bunch of folks coming back to the transportation committee asking if they could have those mitigation measures taken out,” Rockwell said. Other traffic-calming initiatives will continue as planned, and a centre median will be installed in the two curb extensions south of Noons Creek. Along with the City of Coquitlam, Port Moody will investigate time-specific turning restrictions at David Avenue and Noons Creek Drive to reduce traffic volume during peak hours. Meanwhile, Gatensbury Road residents are requesting more traffic-calming measures to improve safety on their street.

Lori Holdenried told council five vehicles have lost control and ended up on neighbourhood lawns in the past six months. A traffic study clocked the average speed on Gatensbury at 54 km/h while the speed limit is 30, she added. “How does this affect the residents of Gatensbury? Local residents are subject to swearing, honking horns, rude gestures, high beams and even the bumping of bumpers … as we drive on our road.” The Evergreen Line will increase pedestrian traffic in the area, she said, creating safety concerns since there are no sidewalks on Gatensbury. She asked council to solve the situation by reducing commuter traffic or installing speed bumps, centre columns, speed indicator signs or narrower lanes. “As residents of Port Moody who have chosen to buy homes and make our lives in this award-winning community, our basic safety needs need to be made a priority.” The issue is expected to be on the agenda at the next council meeting, set for Tuesday, July 27.

Field renamed

The life of long-time football coach Kevin Chin has become a local legacy. Mackin Park’s south field will renamed Kevin Chin Field to honour Chin, who died from cardiac arrest in September 2007 at age 51. The former UBC Thunderbirds player coached football for 28 years at both the community level and at Centennial Secondary, where he also taught math. “Kevin was a real popular mentor, a valued member of the sports community in Coquitlam,” said Coun. Doug Macdonell. Chin’s wife Sylvie said she is very pleased with the renaming. “He was a great man and football was his passion,” she said in a phone interview. “Basically, he had three passions — one was his work, one was his family and the other was football.”

PoCoMo Youth Services Society executive director Jerome Bouvier, left, chats with team leader Jason Wu in an outreach bus. The society is opening up some of its outreach bus runs to the public, in an effort to create awareness of what staff do.

Tours on youth outreach bus designed to raise awareness jmcfee@thenownews.com The PoCoMo Youth Services Society’s mobile outreach bus is now cruising the community two more times per month, and the public is invited onboard for the ride. The youth services society launched a new initiative yesterday called A View From the Street, which will provide ongoing evening tours on the modified shuttle bus every second Thursday. The after-hours bus will visit hot spots and hangouts where youth gather. Up to four guests can join PoCoMo staff and board members for a first-hand perspective of youth activity in the Tri-Cities. Executive director Jerome Bouvier said the goal of the tours is to raise awareness about Project Reach Out and invite people to experience the program for themselves. “This is a really neat way to raise the awareness but also to educate. It’s to educate on our program. It’s to educate on what youth are facing and experiencing in our community,” Bouvier said. “It’s an opportunity to potentially generate funding sources, volunteer sources and champions for PoCoMo.” The first few rides will be reserved for busi-

ness professionals, community leaders and representatives from local organizations. After that, Bouvier said the experience will be open to other community members. Interested individuals will go through an assessment and orientation to the program, followed by a Tri-Cities tour. “They would be interacting. They would be able to ask questions of the staff. They would visit the hot spots, our core areas that we tend to go to and have discussions about what we experience,” he said. “When you do see a small group of young people, the staff will pull over and have a chat with them. Then they get to experience the staff actually in action.” The youth can then decide whether or not they want to talk with the adults, Bouvier added. “Kids today are pretty straightforward. They don’t filter a whole lot. They’re actually fairly open,” he said. “If someone wants to have a chat and ask them things, they’ll say yes or they’ll say no. They’re pretty upfront, and that’s what we appreciate about the kids we’re connecting with.” Tours run from 8 to 10:30 p.m. every second Thursday. PoCoMo encourages a minimum donation of $20 per person. For more information, call 604-525-1888 or e-mail jason@pocomo.org.

NewPort sign issue unresolved Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com A debate over NewPort Village signs remains unresolved after Port Moody council deferred the issue at its recent meeting. Bosa Development Corp. hopes to replace the existing freestanding sign at the entrance of NewPort Village with a refurbished one that would include tenant plaques for some of the retailers. As well, the developer would like to add a new way-finding sign on strata property at the corner of Ioco Road and Guildford Way. This new sign would be up to eight feet tall by eight feet wide and would be lit at night. Bosa representative Maria Woods said these changes would reduce the number of retail sandwich boards on the city boulevard while also helping to identify NewPort Village. The new sign at Ioco and Guildford is intended to benefit both residents and businesses, she added. “The addition of the new way-finding sign should be seen as an enhancement for the village and not a detriment.” But Newport resident Gerry Shaw disagreed. “The sign will block, partially, my view and my neighbour’s view, and there’s a gym right below our units. Right in front of the sign, there’s exercise bikes, treadmills and other exercise machines that are constantly being in use. When people are on these machines, they like to look out at the bushes and trees, very peaceful,” Shaw said. “Now what they’re going to see is a nice big concrete sign, and their

only consolation is it might be painted dark green to simulate a bush that was removed.” Shaw presented council with a 55-name petition of residents against the variance permit for the proposed way-finding sign. He stressed, however, that he does not object to the freestanding sign at the entrance to NewPort Village. Meanwhile, NewPort Village business owner Karen Winder said signage needs to be improved since she constantly gets calls from people trying to find her store. “From a business point of view, we really need those signs and we’re struggling to get our customers there,” said Winder, owner of Crowns and Jewels. Coun. Diana Dilworth shared a similar point. “In Port Moody, we’ve been losing a number of our small businesses over the last 12 to 18 months. There’s been a bleed, particularly in the Moody Centre area,” Dilworth said. “I think anything that we can do to provide the tools and support to our local businesses is really going to be in the best interest of our entire community.” Couns. Karen Rockwell, Gerry Nuttall and Bob Elliott said they would not support the recommendations, citing concerns about lack of consultation and concrete information. On behalf of Bosa, Woods requested the matter be deferred for further consultation. Council unanimously agreed to put the issue on hold. The city will re-notify residents within 140 metres of the signs when the request comes back to council.

ook up. Turn 360 degrees. You are totally surrounded by high mountain peaks, majestic and craggy. You might be seeing them unclothed, stark and defined against a vivid blue sky in summer, or covered with sparkling, pristine snow in winter. If you are here in the fall, look down to the tree line to see the vibrant yellows and oranges of the autumn leaves dotted among the dark greens of the firs and pines. Maybe you’ll hear the rushing and roaring of streams and rivers swollen with snow melt in the spring. The mountains show infinite variety throughout the seasons, and whenever you come there is always lots to see and do. When people think of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, they usually think of Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper National Parks. But no more than 10 minutes from Banff (45 minutes west of Calgary), there’s a small valley community called Canmore. In the shadow of world-famous Banff, Canmore is often overlooked, but those who discover this sleepy little town consider it just as beautiful — it’s definitely more peaceful — providing access to all the activities you’ll find in nearby Banff and Lake Louise. Canmore is nestled in the Bow Valley corridor along the banks of the Bow River, surrounded by Three Sisters, Lawrence Grassi, Ha Ling, Lady Macdonald and other peaks, each with its own history and legend. The waters of the Bow run clear, cold and sparkling through the town. You’ll notice the deep teal-turquoise blue of the water caused by the glacial silt minerals created by the Bow Glacier. High up in the mountains, this icy giant grinds its way ever-so-slowly into Bow Lake, the headwaters

Because of the surrounding mountains and the long, narrow valley, Canmore has its own mini-ecological system, and the daily temperature and snowfall can be quite different from nearby Banff and Calgary. So whenever you visit, bring a variety of clothing — it’s been known to snow in July — though you could also encounter a heat wave. If you do come in winter be prepared for “weather.” It’s a beautiful time to be in the mountains and, yes, it’s cold, but dressed in the latest

lightweight insulated clothing, you are cosywarm. Layers are best in all seasons, so plan to add or remove garments according to the conditions. Year round, there are activities for everyone: every age, every interest and every level of fitness. Walk, hike, bike, ski, skate, curl, play golf, explore the local caves or glide with the sled dogs. This being the year of the Winter Olympics, plan to visit the Canmore Nordic Centre (built for the 1988 Winter Olympics), the major training site and home of the

Canadian cross-country ski team. Look out for life-long Canmorian Chandra Crawford; she won a gold medal at the 2006 Torino Games. When you want to slow down, you can shop. And when it comes to eating, choose from fine dining, vegetarian, Asian, pasta, soup (oh, those legendary Canmore soups), fast food and bagel, coffee and tea shops. Be ready to loosen your belt a notch — unless you have plans for some energetic exercise. Whatever you decide to do, be aware of the other residents, wild animals that were here long before humans came. The Bow Valley is a major wildlife corridor, and bears, coyotes, cougars, deer, wolf and elk herds roam free and share the neighbourhood. You may meet a grizzly bear and her cubs while you are hiking, or spot a coyote strolling down the middle of the deserted main street when you leave your restaurant in the evening. These animals are not out to spoil your holiday. In fact, they are not really interested in you at all unless you get between a mother and her young, or find their food cache. Obey the “Trail Closed” signs, and check out the “Bow Valley Wildsmart” brochures, found around town, to learn about the ways of these other Bow Valley inhabitants. And never, ever, think you can’t come in winter — if you do visit then, you’ll enjoy a whole variety of activities and experiences that are fun and exhilarating.

Dragonﬂies in the Summer

For Crossroads Hospice Society, summer is a time of community outreach, friends and family as we plan, attend and enjoy many of the events happening in the Tri-Cities.

“Crossroads Hospice Society is grateful to have the opportunity to participate in the many community events held throughout the Tri-Cities over the summer. Being at events offers our organization the chance to visit with old friends and make new ones – helping to get the message out about the important work that we do. We are appreciative of the support we receive throughout our wonderful communities.” Carly Hebner, Special Events Coordinator.

Rocky Point Summer Sunday Concerts, held every Sunday at 2:00 pm throughout July and August, is an event that has raised awareness and funds for Crossroads for over four years now. This weekly showcase of rhythm and blues, soul, jazz and funk is brought to you by our wonderful shared supporters, Paciﬁc Coast Terminals (Title Sponsor) and Rhino Marketing (Lead Sponsor) and is presented by TD Canada Trust. A big thank-you to George Balzer, local resident, volunteer and member of the Crossroads family, for organizing the line-up of ﬁrst class entertainment including Incognito, Mostly Marly and The Dubious Brothers. Plan on taking in a performance - spend a relaxing and entertaining afternoon at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody with friends, family and Crossroads.

Looking for a peaceful stroll in the evening? Each full moon evening during the summer, Crossroads hosts a Full Moon Walk at the Crossroads Hospice Labyrinth Healing Garden. These intimate walks will help you to understand the labyrinth concept and how to utilize the garden as a tool for peace and reﬂection. Join us on Sunday, July 25th and Tuesday, August 24th. Walks begin at 7:30 pm at the Crossroads Labyrinth Healing Garden in Pioneer Park at Ioco Road and Heritage Mountain Boulevard, Port Moody.

Are you interested in helping others? The newly centralized Fraser Health crisis line is recruiting volunteers to provide assistance to people in the region who are experiencing emotional distress. The centralized crisis line will serve residents on both sides of the Fraser River, including those in the Tri-Cities. For local residents, it replaces a phone line operated by the SHARE Family & Community Services Society. No previous experience is needed, according to a news release from Fraser Health, as extensive training and ongoing support is provided. If you’re interested in learning more about this challenging and rewarding experience, pick up an information package at Options Community Services, located at 9815 140th St. in Surrey, or e-mail claudiak@scss.ca.

Fraser Health wants residents to practise the four Ds

With the arrival of West Nile virus in B.C. in the summer of 2009, Fraser Health is reminding residents to fight the bite from mosquitoes at home and when travelling this summer. West Nile virus is a disease carried by mosquitoes that infects people, as well as other mammals and birds. Most people who become infected do not have any symptoms, but about 20 per cent will experience flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches, nausea, rash, swollen glands and sensitivity to light. About one in 150 infected people experience serious, debilitating illness due to nervous system complications. “Although it’s difficult to predict activity in B.C. for 2010, higher risk areas in the southern portion of the province will have enhanced surveillance in place,” said Randy Heilbron, West Nile virus coordinator for Fraser Health. “This will include extensive mosquito trapping and dead crow testing to help ensure early detection can occur and necessary steps taken to reduce risk to people. “People need to know their risk of infection when at home and travelling. That’s why it’s important for residents to take extra precautions against mosquito bites when visiting

an area known or suspected to have [West Nile virus], by dressing appropriately and using insect repellent.” In 2009, two residents of the Interior contracted West Nile virus in the south Okanagan, and a third resident of the Interior contracted the disease while travelling outside the province. Several mosquito samples confirmed the presence of the virus in the south Okanagan, and a total of three horses from the south Okanagan and Fraser Valley were also found with the disease. Each of the other western Canadian provinces reported similar numbers of cases in 2009, and the United States reported a combined 92 human cases in Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. The best way to reduce the risk of West Nile virus infection is to avoid mosquito bites by remembering the four Ds: Drain: Keep your property free of standing and stagnant water, as this can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. This means getting rid of water in flower pots, garbage can lids, old tires and other items that may collect rain water, changing water in bird baths twice a week, unclogging gutters and emptying wading pools when not in use.

You have the power.

Dusk and dawn: Mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn. Cover up and use insect repellent if you are outside. Dress appropriately: Wear loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes, socks and a hat when outdoors. Light-coloured clothing is best. Defend: Use insect repellent on exposed skin or on top of clothing. Repellent containing DEET is most effective — up to 30 per cent DEET for adults and 10 per cent for children (not recommended

for infants). Remember, the concentration of DEET only affects the duration of its effectiveness, not the quality of its effectiveness. Be sure to reapply when in contact with mosquitoes for longer periods of time. Fraser Health, in partnership with the BC Centre for Disease Control, has an extensive surveillance program to act as an early detection and public notification system for West Nile virus. This includes public education, setting up mosquito traps throughout the region (Delta to Hope),

and planning risk reduction initiatives to identify and eliminate mosquito breeding grounds. As crows are particularly susceptible and often die as a result of illness, Fraser Health also collects dead crows for testing. This is one of the most reliable methods of early detection. Disease-positive crows often precede the illness in humans by two to six weeks, allowing health officials to implement pest management plans to minimize human health risk. “Residents play a big role

in West Nile surveillance,” Heilbron said, adding that without public participation, early detection of West Nile virus is more difficult. “We urge Fraser residents to be alert to dead crows and report them by calling Fraser Health’s West Nile virus reporting line.” To report a dead crow or for concerns with mosquito breeding habitat on private lands in the Fraser Health area, call and leave a message on the Fraser Health West Nile virus toll-free reporting line at 1-888-968-5463.

More fond memories of Empire Stadium

Last week we featured the winning entry in our Fondest Memories of Empire Stadium contest. This week, we are pleased to present submissions from the runners-up. Once again, thank you to everyone who participated. From Janice Bobic, Burnaby: I remember the ﬁrst BC Lions football game I went to at the Empire Stadium, in 1958 I believe, when I was 10 years old. I sat with my mom, dad and sister on the grassy hill on the north side on a pleasant sunny evening. As we were sitting there, eagerly anticipating the start of the game, suddenly some jets came screaming overhead directly over the stadium from the north. I began screaming frantically, trying to hide under my dad’s arm, and crying, “They’re going to drop bombs on us!” Dad said, “No, no, no, that’s part of the show.” My fear gradually subsided and I recovered from this “trauma” as the football game started, and excitement took over as the players ran out while the announcer called their names. I remember Willie Fleming — how he could run — and he was the family favourite. In a subsequent year, we received some original numbered photographs autographed by Willie Fleming and the other Lions players. Also we received another set of photos of autographed pictures, individually numbered, with corporate sponsors printed on the backs. I still have all these photos, and eventually plan to sell them by auction. I was there at Empire Stadium when the Beatles came to Vancouver, and Diana Ross and the Supremes opened the show with their metallic gold skinny dresses ﬂashing in the lights. My sister and I were sitting on the northeast bleachers, but with all the girls screaming throughout the whole show, we never heard a bit of the Beatles’ music. As we were heading out after the show, our mom and auntie were waiting, standing outside the stadium door when the Beatles ran right in front of them making their getaway from the stadium. From Gordon Lew, New Westminster In the late seventies/early eighties, as a little kid, I was just learning to love and understand the game of CFL football, the only sport that my Dad watched ever since arriving in Canada. We would watch all the games, especially the Lions on TV, but we could not afford to buy tickets to watch them at Empire Stadium. Soon, they had a promotion where you could go get free admission into Empire Stadium if you presented a Nalley’s chip bag

or box. I remember going down to the Woodward’s Food Floor with my Dad to buy our Nalley’s chips, and then using it to watch the Lions games. I remember sitting in the end zone on a hard park bench, on the north end of the stadium, but I did not care as we were watching the Lions live. I remember many kids behind the benches where we were sitting playing their own game of football on the grass with a Nerf football, having a great time. They probably missed half the game! There were a lot of dads with their kids there. There were sunny days, rainy days (too many) and many cold nights. In the winter, I remember my dad would always buy me a hot chocolate in the third quarter, just before the concession stand behind us would close, so that I would make it OK to the end of the game. I remember watching and idolizing many exciting players: Leon Bright, Larry Key, Joe Paopao, Glen Jackson, Larry Crawford, Lui Passaglia — so many great players and so many exciting games. But my favourite memory of Empire Stadium was having my dad bring me down to the stadium to watch the games with him, father and son hanging out together watching the Lions. From Leslie Cummings, Delta: My fondest memory of Empire Stadium is back in the mid-’50s when I was about nine years old. My dad and his friend were going to a BC Lions football game and I asked if I could go, too. My dad looked surprised that his little girl would want to go to a football game, but after just a moment’s hesitation, he said, “Yes!” Of course I knew nothing about football, but it was simply the fact that I got a “date” with my dad when my two sisters had to stay home with Mom. I remember feeling so grown-up watching the game with these two men, but the real excitement was to come

when the game was over. Dad had bought me a drink during the game, but I didn’t know what to do with the paper cup. I didn’t see a garbage can anywhere, so as we were walking out among the crowd, I just tossed my cup into the air ahead of me. It hit a man on the back of his head and he stopped, turned around and said, “Hello!” to no one in particular. My dad and his friend stopped in their tracks, looking horriﬁed! I thought I was really in for it, but suddenly they both starting laughing like crazy. Dad said to me, “Do you know who you just hit on the head with that cup?” “No,” I answered, feeling terrible about the entire thing. Dad told me, “That was Ted Reynolds!” For those who might not know, Ted Reynolds was one of the most famous local sports broadcasting legends who, sadly, passed away last year at the age of 84. I don’t know if he ever remembered being hit on the head at that game, but I know that I’ll never forget it.

Score Card

Midget lax club nabs elusive B.C. banner Always the bridesmaid, never the bride no more — the class of 1994/1995 has its championship banner. Coquitlam’s midget A1 lacrosse team won the provincial championship Sunday after a one-sided 10-3 win over Langley. The win represents the first championship in eight years for 12 core members of the team, which had dropped a handful of B.C. finals to the likes of New West and Peninsula in the peewee and bantam ranks. The fact that Sunday’s victory was the last game in minor lacrosse for a good chunk of the team makes the B.C. crown all the more sweet. “It was great that they were able to win gold finally at their last kick at the can,” said Coquitlam co-coach Steve Goodman. “We’re all very pleased for them after all these years of losing in the finals.” Despite the fairy-tale ending, the beginning of the tournament looked largely like a comedy of errors, as the A’s dropped their first three games of the tournament (3-1 to New West, 5-3 to Peninsula and 8-6 to Langley). “It was not a good start. We got ourselves into a bad position when we were 0-3, and we needed other teams to give us some help and keep us alive — luckily we got it,” said co-coach Jason Carver. Faced with a do-or-die scenario, the A’s regained their mojo in downing Richmond 8-3 and Saanich 9-4. Riding that newfound momentum into the crossover round, Coquitlam then upended New West 5-4 before setting up the relatively easy 10-3 final win, a victory capped off by Challen Rogers being named provincial MVP. “Nobody’s ever won the provincials like this before,” Goodman said. Two other local squads also competed in the midget playdowns, as both Port Coquitlam’s and Coquitlam’s midget B teams finished out of the medal round with 1-2 and 0-3 records respectively.

Coquitlam’s Robert Church (right) breaks in against Nanaimo Timbermen netminder Ben Harris in a recent regular season game.

Church lifts Adanacs to Game 1 win Stories by John Kurucz sports@thenownews.com

inus their marquee marksman for Game 1, the Coquitlam junior Adanacs leaned on last season’s scoring dynamo to get them over the hump. The junior side squeaked out a 6-5 overtime victory over the Delta Islanders in Sunday’s B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League playoff opener, a win that came thanks in large part to Robert Church’s threegoal performance. Down 2-0 after one period, Church notched Coquitlam’s first marker of the contest at 4:05 of the second stanza, and followed that up with an overtime tally at 2:54 of the extra session. Matthew Dinsdale followed Church’s overtime goal to seal the win, though the club is hesitant to deem Game 1 a total success. “I thought we struggled at times, and I think the rust showed throughout the whole game for us,” said Coquitlam coach Curt Malawsky, whose team had been out of action since July 7. “The guys

worked hard and the work ethic was there, but we were a little bit rusty.” Despite heavily outshooting the visiting Islanders 57-41, the Delta side got out in front first off of two opening-stanza markers. On top of that quick lead, Delta netminder Zack Boychuck turned away all 16 Coquitlam shots in the first period. “We knew there was still lots of time left, so there really wasn’t much to worry about,” Church said of firing blanks in the first. “We had a pretty good feeling through the game — we improved in the second and we kept improving in the third. They’re a really good team. That’s one of the tougher games we’ve played all year.” Besides Church’s hat trick and Dinsdale’s OT marker, Riley Loewen rounded out Coquitlam’s offence by notching two goals. Adanacs netminder Chris Seidel made 36 saves in the win. “Delta has a really good team, but we didn’t play the way we wanted to,” said Adanacs captain Matt Beers. “We didn’t do some of the things we’ve done in the past, but that’s going to come.” And while the main storyline Sunday was the win itself, the other noticeable aspect wasn’t what hap-

pened on the floor, but instead, those who weren’t on it. Coquitlam’s regular season scoring leader and Ontario import Mark Matthews, who put up a sizzling 66 points in 10 regular season games, was not in the lineup for Sunday’s game. Malawsky wouldn’t say if the offensive stalwart was injured, but rather suggested that he was resting certain players for Game 1. “That’s what the playoffs are about: they’re going to adjust to us, and we’re going to adjust to them,” said Malawsky, who suggested a series of lineup changes were planned for Tuesday’s Game 2. “The team that makes the better adjustments is going to be the team that’s going to be successful. We’ve definitely got some things in the game plan that we’re going to tweak here and there to make us more successful.” Game 2 of the best-of-five series was played Tuesday night, after NOW deadlines. Game 3 is set for Friday night at 8 p.m. at the Coquitlam Sports Centre, while Game 4 goes one day later at the Ladner Arena. If a Game 5 is necessary, it will be played on July 28 in Coquitlam.

Junior A’s on the cusp of B.C. title

Gabrielle Beer/NOW

Redlegs pitcher Taylor Lawrence attempts a pickoff in a regular season contest against the Vancouver Cannons.

Redlegs take second at B.C.s sports@thenownews.com

Though they fell one win short of their ultimate goal, it is safe to say the baseball gods were smiling upon the Coquitlam Redlegs this past weekend. Faced with a slow start, a marathon finish and a depleted pitching staff at times, the Redlegs managed to pull out a second-place finish in Sunday’s B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League provincial championships. “From top to bottom, I think everybody put in a great effort over the weekend. Some of them saw some limited playing time, but they never lost their spirit. It was a true team effort,” said Redlegs coach Todd Labranche. Though they got spanked by the top-seeded Langley Blaze 16-2 in the finals, the Redlegs overcame some pretty formidable obstacles on the way there. Game 1 against the Victoria Mariners saw the Redlegs get an all-world pitching performance from Jeff Heidema, who struck out 17 batters en route to a one hit outing. “He was very, very good on the mound for us,” Labranche

said. “He was involved in 19 of the 21 outs, but unfortunately we couldn’t follow that up in our next two games.” From there, Coquitlam dropped its next two contests to Nanaimo (11-3) and Langley (4-2), leaving them clinging on to other team’s fortunes to advance their own. They first needed Victoria to beat Nanaimo and score at least eight runs in the process, and then have Langley dump Victoria — check and check. Those wins advanced Coquitlam to Sunday’s tiebreaker against the same team that had just changed their fortunes. Sending Mitchell Jackman to the mound in Sunday’s first game, the Redlegs cruised to a 7-1 win over Victoria thanks to his two-hit, complete-game performance. Faced with a paltry 20minute rest, the Redlegs then entered into an epic 11-inning showdown with Abbotsford that ultimately ended with Coquitlam winning 8-7. The Redlegs continually jumped out to leads in the game — staking claims of 1-0 in the first and 4-1 in the fourth — but Abbotsford continually had an answer. It took extra innings and late-game heroics courtesy

of Max Hollingsworth, who launched a solo homerun in the 11th inning to seal the Coquitlam win. Having played 18 innings in one morning, the Redlegs had a few hours to regroup before facing off against the No. 1 seed Langley Blaze. Though Coquitlam jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in

the top of the first, Langley responded with seven of their own in the bottom end of the inning to cruise to the eventual 16-2 win. “After playing 18 innings in one day and the three games in the two previous days, we just ran out of pitching. But it was certainly a day to remember,” Labranche said.

Stories by John Kurucz

As of Tuesday evening, Coquitlam’s junior little league side was on the cusp of making history repeat itself — again. Representing the 13/14 age group, the junior A’s were slated to take on their archrivals from Whalley in the B.C. finals Tuesday night after NOW deadlines. Had they won the contest, it would mark a huge first step towards Coquitlam laying claim to three straight national titles. “We’re quietly confident,” said A’s manager Wes Taylor. “The boys have seen the pitching that we’ll see [Tuesday night], and I’m pretty sure that they’re confident that they can get the job done. They have to play error-free baseball and that’s the key.” Coquitlam already passed its first two major hurdles in the provincial dance, downing Whalley 4-3 in the tourney opener before defeating North Vancouver Central 12-5. Though Whalley quickly made it 2-0 in Saturday’s opener, Coquitlam responded with back-to back doubles by Austin MacDonald and Alex Romanowski in the third inning. Tied 3-3 after seven, the game headed to extra innings, where Kevin Heidema laid down a pinch-hit bunt to cash in the winning run in a bases-loaded situation. “It was a beauty. Everyone was crashing the plate and it just went right by them. Our runner at third was breaking on the pitch and that won it for us. It was a pretty tight, intense game,” Taylor said. The A’s then marched past North Van Central one day later on the weight of Johnathan Keltie’s six-strikeout performance. The offence came courtesy of Javeed Khankashi (two singles), Anderson (2 RBIs) and Heidema and Curtis Taylor, who each notched an RBI as well. Even if the A’s didn’t dispatch of Whalley Tuesday, the club will live to see another day due to the tournament’s double knockout format. Had Whalley won Tuesday, the two teams would square off Wednesday in a winner-take-all contest.
