Coquitlam’s binning bears impact trash

HST now going to voters Jennifer McFee

The fate of the HST will be in the voters’ hands in a province-wide binding referendum set for next September. The provincial government announced Monday that the heated issue of the harmonized sales tax will be put to the test in a simple majority vote on Sept. 24, 2011. If more than 50 per cent of voters say they want to scrap the harmonized sales tax, then the provincial government will comply. But a year is too long to wait for Fight HST organizer Chris Delaney. “It would be very harmful to the economy because a number of industries, particularly new construction and renovation industries, would be decimated by this if people wait one year’s time to repeal the tax before they conduct any major projects,” said the Port Coquitlam resident. “There’s nothing to be gained by delaying it, so we’ve asked them to move forward on that sooner rather than later. … If it turns out it’s just another game to try to stop the will of the people, then we’ll go on to [MLA] recall.” Delaney said the Fight HST group will stand by the results, as long as the referendum is conducted quickly and efficiently with a fair question. “If all of those things are done in a fair and unbiased manner and the people vote to keep the HST, then we would abide by that,” he said. “But we don’t expect that would be the case. I mean, people hate this thing. I think they’re going to get rid of it.” Port Coquitlam NDP MLA Mike Farnworth said Elections

A more aggressive ticketing system, universal setout times and a full-time staffer are among Coquitlam’s plans for bolstering bear management. Unveiled at Monday’s engineering, utilities and environment committee meeting, the city’s plan was unanimously endorsed by the committee and will require a formal rubber stamp at the Monday, Sept. 20 council meeting. Among the recommendations to council was a move to begin issuing $500 tickets to residents who do not properly manage bear attractants (garbage and fruit trees), implement city-wide same garbage placement times between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. on designated pick-up days, and make Coquitlam’s Bear Aware co-ordinator position a full-time municipal job. Currently headed up by Drake Stephens, the post has traditionally been subsidized by both the city and the province. “I’ve talked to lots of residents who would argue quite strongly that the safety of their neighbourhood is their highest priority and that one element of safety related to bears comes up time and time again,” Mayor Richard Stewart said Tuesday. “It is top of mind for our residents. I get e-mails on that issue far more often than I get e-mails about a lot of the other issues that are much more expensive for the city. The average resident would find it good value to do everything we reasonably can to minimize those conflicts between bears and our neighbourhoods.” B.C. Conservation Service officer Terry Myroniuk appeared before the committee Monday and lauded the city for its “very proactive and progressive role in wildlife conflict prevention over the past several years.” “I’ve seen Coquitlam really stand up and stand out amongst the surrounding communities in taking a leadership role with respect to preventative measures on conflict management and conflict prevention. Drake [Stephens] has been a driving force for a lot of these changes,” said Myroniuk, who has worked from Port Moody to Mission during his six years on the job. A staff report notes Coquitlam has spent about $176,000 on bear-related initiatives in the last six years — money that has covered Stephens’ position, educational materials and 235 bear-proof bins in local parks, among other things. “We have expended a lot of resources in educating our population regarding their responsibilities for solid waste in bear country. We think we have to take it to the next step,” said Bill Susak, engineering and public works manager.

Hey, Port Coquitlam residents: Put down that chocolate bar. Forego those French fries. Drop the pop. It will soon be easier to make healthy food and drink choices in Port Coquitlam, after city council passed a policy to up the nutritious ante during its Monday council meeting. Healthier options will now be offered at civic facilities in vending machines, concessions and cafés. City functions will also offer foods that are higher in nutrients and lower in sugar, salt and saturated fat. In December 2008, the city received a $7,500 grant from the Union of British Columbia Municipalities to undertake the first steps towards developing a healthy food and beverage sales plan. City staff developed guidelines to create a supportive environment that will allow people to make positive behavioural changes. At city facilities, at least 75 per cent of drink options and 70 per cent of food choices will now be healthier. Similar food sale guidelines are already in place in B.C. schools, as well as in the cities of Richmond, Surrey, Kelowna and Prince George. Port Coquitlam, however, will be the first municipality in the Tri-Cities to undertake the initiative. Registered dietitian Jane Wark said Canada has one of the highest childhood obesity rates in the developed world, ranking fifth out of 34 countries. As well, she said 44 per cent of adults in the Fraser North area are overweight or obese.

Paul vanPeenen/NOW

A few vending machines in Port Coquitlam’s recreation facilities already carry healthier snack foods. “Currently, cancer and cardiovascular disease are responsible for over one-half of the total deaths in the TriCities,” she said. “By eating healthy food and not being overweight, the likelihood of someone developing chronic disease such as cancer or cardiovascular disease is reduced.” Larry Gustafson, Fraser Health’s medical health officer for the TriCities, said changing the food environment is an effective way to promote

people are more likely to choose the food that is easier to access.” Coun. Brad West stressed that choice is key in PoCo’s new policy. “Each of us has a responsibility and must take our own personal responsibility for the choices we make,” West said. “But with the prevalence of childhood obesity, diabetes and other health indicators on the rise, we all have a role to play.”

No tree-top playground for Mundy: committee John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com

Plans for a forest adventure playground in Mundy Park, let alone any park in Coquitlam, are one step closer to being shelved indefinitely. The city’s recreation, sports and culture committee voted unanimously Monday to abandon any work on the plan, which would have consisted of a tree-top playground allowing participants to move through a five-acre parcel of Mundy Park via walkways, ladders, swings and zip-lines. Though the majority of committee members lauded the playground concept, the overwhelming public opposition and a lack of a city-wide master plan for parks swayed the group’s decision. “It’s quite apparent now that putting this in Mundy Park is a no go. I’m fine with that. This is what the democratic process is all about,” said committee chair Coun. Doug Macdonell. “But I also want to be open to eco-tourism. I want to be open to looking at Coquitlam’s natural attributes. As a respon-

and improve healthy eating. “In public health, we talk about making the healthy choice the easy choice. This new policy will make it easier for parents and grandparents to choose healthy food for their children, grandchildren and themselves. It will also make it easier for employees in municipal facilities to choose healthy foods,” Gustafson said. “Accessibility affects what foods people choose to eat, and research has shown that

sible council, and as a responsible community, we have to look at ways of supporting our businesses and supporting the community in general.” Part of Monday’s decision was shaped by the city’s online public opinion survey, which featured 91 per cent (156 people) of respondents opposing the Mundy location, and 87 per cent (145 people) panning the plan entirely. The city also received close to 600 written surveys, and the answers were largely the same: 89 per cent (541 people) opposed the Mundy location, and 88 per cent (533 people) were against the concept taking shape anywhere. “One of the issues, one of the concerns I had … was timing. Perhaps one of the lessons learned here, is let’s not do this process over the summer anymore,” said Mayor Richard Stewart. “There was no hidden agenda here. This was us going out to the public and finding out from them what they thought of this concept.” “We need to be real clear with residents — that we get it, we heard you [and] Mundy Park is not going to be developed for this kind of activity now or in the near future,” added Coun. Selina Robinson.

The committee’s decision went against staff’s recommendation, which was to put the plan on hold until 2012. The idea of establishing a similar plan in Glen Park was also rejected. Part of that reluctance was based on the lack of a city-wide parks master plan, which would set out guidelines for appropriate uses for city parks. “I think it’s critical that we form the city-wide parks plan. What is it that we’re trying to get out of our parks?” asked Coun. Neal Nicholson. According to leisure and parks manager Lori MacKay, that plan is “a No. 1 priority” for her department, though staff retention issues have prevented the document from taking shape. “We just do not have the resources to complete that work in 2010,” she said. The issue will go before a full council vote on Monday, September 20. In an interview Tuesday, Stewart said he expects the issue to be resolved at that council meeting. “There are no members of council that are ready to go forward with the proposal for such a facility in Mundy Park. It’s a dead issue,” he said.

MLA calls for clear question on HST  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.

B.C. should be in charge of creating the referendum question without any political interference from the province. “I think the public will be glad that they’re able to vote on the HST, but I think the real question is what is the question going to be. Is it going to be a straight-up, straightforward question like,

‘Do you support getting rid of the HST?’” asked Farnworth, one of 10 provincial representatives on the committee deciding what to do with the anti-HST petition campaign. “Or is it going to be what we see from the separatists in Quebec where the government tries to construct the question to get the answer they want? … I think people will be very, very angry if they don’t have a straightforward

question on the ballot.” However, Douglas Horne, Liberal MLA for CoquitlamBurke Mountain, said he’s confident people will see the benefits of the 12-per-cent harmonized tax over the next year. “All of the things that people are saying, all of this doom and gloom, the unfortunate part is it’s just not reality,” Horne said. “I think as reality sets in

outside the city’s control. “Just because you may not necessarily see sightings dropping in Coquitlam or bear incidents, don’t be fooled into thinking that what you are moving towards isn’t having positive effects. I can see it first-hand,” he said. Stephens said Tuesday he plans on applying for the fulltime position, which would entail two different aspects: a focus on education and prevention during bear season, and recycling and waste diversion efforts during winter. As for the $500 fines, both

Stephens and Stewart stressed that they will only be levied to repeat offenders. The city has yet to dole out a $500 ticket. “We’re still using as much education as possible, but we do need that tool there though when necessary. It would be nice if I could say we hope to never use it, but there are a few people out there who have had every chance,” Stephens said. “It doesn’t matter if you like bears or if you hate bears, the whole thing is you’re inviting them into your neighbourhood and it’s affecting your neighbours.”

Bear sightings increase to 500

 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.

Despite those investments, bear sightings increased over the course of the last year: as of Aug. 30, 500 sightings were reported and nine bears were killed, as opposed to only 200 sightings at this time last year.

Police clean streets of crime Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com Garbage bins don’t make good hiding places. One suspect learned this lesson the hard way Saturday morning, when he was arrested for a Coquitlam home break-in. At around 11 a.m., Coquitlam RCMP were called to the 2000 block of Palliser Avenue after neighbours allegedly saw five men breaking open the front door of a home. As the officers arrived, three suspects allegedly drove off in a white pick-up truck stolen from Kamloops. Police arrested the two men left at the scene. The pick-up truck was eventually abandoned in Citadel Heights. From there, a police dog tracked down two more suspects nearby. The last suspect was arrested after a resident

reported the man hiding in a garbage bin near the site of the alleged break-in. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said all five men, aged 20 to 31, were known to police. They were held in custody over the weekend and were scheduled to appear in court this week for charges ranging from possession of stolen property, break and enter and breaches of parole. One of the men was wanted for a Vancouver police case of breaching conditions. Paquet gave credit to neighbourhood residents for providing information on suspect descriptions and locations. “With several police cars responding to the call, the residents of the area were essential,” he said in a release. “By continually communicating updates to police and providing suspect descriptions, without placing themselves at risk, they were key to the successful apprehension of the five suspects.”

Epic car chase begins in Coquitlam Other unmarked cars and a helicopter equipped with an infrared camera joined the chase. “The stolen car crossed the Port Mann Bridge and the entire time it was being followed by the police traffic safety helicopter Air 2,” Shields said. The driver took Highway 1 east through Surrey, then Langley and into Abbotsford. At the Mount Lehman exit, the driver hung up the car on a fire hydrant, and ran from

the car into the bush, Shields said. “There was an RCMP dog handler who was arriving at the scene and who made the arrest very quickly.” Shields said that the pursuit took place in the air, not on the ground, for safety reasons. “Even when there were no police cars anywhere in sight, he was still driving at a very high rate of speed, weaving in and out of traffic and passing cars on the shoulder.” — Postmedia Network Inc.

It took a helicopter, a fire hydrant and a police dog to apprehend a 30-year-old Coquitlam man who was tracked from the Tri-Cities to Abbotsford in a stolen Dodge Neon Thursday night. “The owner actually saw the vehicle being driven away from her house and driving down her street,” said RCMP Insp. Tim Shields. After an officer in an unmarked police vehicle spotted the stolen car in Coquitlam, the chase was on.

Twins’ quarrel leads to stabbing Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com A 22-year-old Coquitlam man is in police custody after allegedly stabbing his twin brother in the neck during a drunken fight early Sunday morning. At around 1:30 a.m., a man called police reporting that he had thrown a knife at his brother and struck him in the

neck. The suspect had fled the scene before Coquitlam RCMP arrived at the residence, located in the 500 block of Perth Avenue. The victim was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital, where he was treated for a non-life-threatening neck wound. Meanwhile, police patrols tried to locate the missing suspect. On Monday, officers found the suspect at the hospital sit-

TWO GREAT LOCATIONS IN PORT MOODY NEWPORT LIQUOR MERCHANTS & ST. JOHN STREET LIQUOR

jmcfee@thenownews.com Port Coquitlam does not have an appropriate site for an interim emergency homeless shelter facility. The city’s social inclusion committee reached this conclusion Tuesday in response to a request from the Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group, which asked PoCo to find a rentfree place to put a temporary portable shelter. The group was seeking a quarter-acre site for four or five modular containers to operate from 9:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily. Three of these units would be available to accommodate 24 people, and the remaining portables would be used for meals, socializing and service delivery. But staff determined that there are no municipally owned sites that would meet the criteria. The location would need adequate transit access, existing water and sewer services, proximity to social services and separation from existing residential developments. Development services director Laura Lee Richard said council will make the final decision on the issue. “There isn’t a good spot,” Richard said. “That’s a staff opinion, but it’s certainly one that the committee spent a considerable amount of time reviewing in their deliberations.” The interim shelter would serve the homeless community beginning April 1, 2011, after

the Tri-Cities cold wet weather mat program wraps up on March 31, 2011. This date marks the end of the mat program’s federal funding, as well as the end of the zoning permission for the three host churches in Coquitlam. Mayor Greg Moore said housing needs to be a multi-pronged approach. “An emergency shelter is set up for an emergency. It’s not long term. It’s something to get them through a hump,” Moore said. “Then you have transition housing or the housingfirst model, where you want to give someone a home for a month or two months or even a year. … So that’s the two housing models working in co-operation with each other.” PoCo staff are also concerned that the interim shelter could become a long-term solution, since no approvals are currently in place for the proposed emergency shelter and transitional housing facility at a city-owned site at 3030 Gordon Ave. in Coquitlam. However, the City of Coquitlam is planning to rezone the Gordon Avenue location. The plan is to build a 38,000-square-foot, fourstorey building that would include 30 beds and 30 self-contained transitional studio units, plus extreme weather shelter for up to 30 people. The public is invited to review the Gordon Avenue development at open house events on Wednesday, Sept. 22 from 4 to 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 25 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Both sessions are in the foyer at Coquitlam City Hall at 3000 Guildford Way. Written comments will also be accepted until Oct. 15.

Opinion

Fight against HST begins anew, and ‘we are ready’ First we are bilked $2 billion in HST tax transfers to big business at the expense of the electorate and now Campbell’s government is going to have a non-binding referendum next year at a cost of $30 million more of our money. The premier and his sheep are so To The gutless that they will avoid at all costs revealing in the legislature their nonsupport for its citizens with a free vote. As a result, British Columbians’ ire has reached a feverish pitch never seen before as we observe their arrogance in ignoring the public will.

Our trust was already at an all-time low. This latest travesty just puts their credibility at zero and our resolve to recall these so-called Liberals escalates higher and higher as our anger festers and grows exponentially. I venture that this ongoing act of betrayal will ensure that the 50-per-cent Editor threshold to recall these MLAs will be surpassed in a flash, as the populace stampedes to rid themselves of this dictatorship. Bring it on Mr. Vander Zalm. We are ready. Rita Pollock Coquitlam

Our View

Costs of principles and popularity

ast year, a $1.6-billion carrot was dangled by the feds in front of Gordon Campbell’s face, enticing his government to sign an agreement to harmonize provincial and federal point-of-sale taxes into a giant 12-percent levy. Campbell saw the carrot, and he bit. He has since defended the tax, stating the HST saves $130 million in taxes that is then redistributed throughout the economy. If this is what the premier believes to be true, then why are we about to spend $30 million on a referendum exercise? A referendum could cost taxpayers as little as $12 million in a mail-out format; and the price rises to as much as $30 million if we go to the polls on Sept. 24, 2011. A legislative vote on the issue? That would cost taxpayers a grand sum of zero dollars and zero cents. On its website Tuesday, the government trumpets $100,000 provided to KidSport B.C. and an $150,000 investment in ovarian cancer research. Imagine the amount of soccer cleats, hockey sticks and baseball bats that $30 million could buy. Consider how much suffering could be avoided if early ovarian cancer screening became more effective. There are myriad ways in which this money could be better spent. If the reason for the HST, truly, is to foster economic development, then why not pump the funds for a referendum into a job-creation vehicle? This is not a case of spending money to make money. What we have witnessed was the Liberals’ choice between sticking to their principles in the face of unpopularity or preserving political skin to maintain power. Spending $30 million on a referendum during tough economic times is not an example of fiscal prudence. The B.C. government has bit another carrot, and now the taxpayer must swallow yet another bill.

The picture is not entirely gloomy, however. Doyle, who is quickly earning a reputation as a

Agriculture Minister Steve Thomson seems to get the idea that more has to be done to protect the ALR. Thomson, who comes from a farming family, is a former executive director of the B.C. Agriculture Council and he has emerged as one of the steadiest hands in the B.C. Liberal government. He has asked the new chair of the ALC, Richard Bullock, to tour the province and meet with agriculture groups and other stakeholders to get a sense of the challenges faced by the ALC. Bullock is supposed to file a report in October. Hopefully, what he discovers on his fact-finding tour will spur the B.C. government to not only restore the funding to the ALC, but to take steps to stop prime farmland from being turned into blacktop. Now, there’s no question more housing and transportation networks will have to be built in the years ahead. And it’s more than likely that some ALR land will form part of future treaties with First Nations bands. But Doyle’s report is a timely reminder that protecting our food supply should be of paramount importance. I suspect the NDP will make preserving the ALR a key part of its election platform come 2013. If that party does indeed gain power, it will be interesting to see if it takes a look back at the record of its predecessor in the 1970s to gain a sense of proper priorities.

Curiosity pays dividends “Sweat equity: students get back what they pay for in effort,” column, Wednesday, Sept. 8. I hate to disappoint Shamsa Jessa, but life isn’t fair and working very hard in school doesn’t necessarily mean success in school — or in life. I was one of these kids that loved school and consistently had good to great marks, yet hardly worked at all. I loved to interrupt teachers and either argue with them at length or make outrageous jokes. In France, where I was born, philosophy is the most prestigious subject in high school. In order to graduate, one must write an essay about an often uninspiring philosophical question about things we were too young to really know about. No multiple choices questionnaire, just a blank page. No reference manuals allowed at exam time of course. We had to write essays every two weeks. While most of my buddies spent hours sweating over a couple of pages, I got in the habit to write my 15- to 20-page essays at the last minute. In fact, I finished them on the bus on the way to school. At the graduation exam, I scored the highest mark possible. I didn’t get a job in France because I graduated with high marks in all the learning institutions I attended, but because my parents knew somebody. I didn’t get a job in Canada because of my education either. Many interviewers in Toronto and Montreal (in the days before Internet and easily available international TV channels) asked me if we had real schools and lived in real homes in my country. I got jobs because of somebody who knew somebody. I never used most of what I learned in school. What helped me in life was my love of studying — even the most boring subjects — and my curiosity about everything. Travelling

to and studying in foreign countries before I was 20 was also a great eye and mind-opener. J-L Brussac Coquitlam

Politics heating up I would like to preface my comments by stating that for many years I was a staunch and fervent NDP and union supporter. I detested Gordon Campbell and the Liberals for who they were and what they stood for. Fortunately, I lost my delusional, idealistic vision of life. Mr. Campbell’s downfall with the HST is in the fact he wasn’t up front with us. Like it or not, taxes are a necessary evil, unquestionably crucial to financing and funding every aspect of our society: health care, highTo The ways, infrastructure, education, public transit, etc. Most politicians do not give us, the taxpayer and voter, enough credit when it comes to understanding and conceptualizing the big picture. Wouldn’t it have been much more simple and less painful for everyone if Mr. Campbell had explained that we have two choices: the HST to finance and maintain the status quo or have no HST and make some huge cutbacks on services, programs and construction projects? Heralded as an onerous and egregious tax by the Opposition, media and Bill Vander Zalm, the HST has one aspect that may level the playing field: it is non-discriminatory in that it affects each and every one of us equally, rich and poor (unlike income tax). If the NDP get into power, and I despair the thought, Carole James will either have to have a magic wand or a genie to grant her three wishes, otherwise they have not put forth any other options or solutions. They won’t cut taxes; no government ever does. And contrary to the ideology of the NDP, social programs,

the mail slot today. Surprise, surprise, it was from James Moore, MP. Bad enough that Mr. Moore goes along with all the nonsense that Prime Minister Stephen Harper comes up with, now Mr. Moore has stooped to making us, the taxpayers, pay for partisan Conservative party attack ads. Not enough that we are forced to pick up the tab for all the boondoggles the Conservatives have foisted off on Canadians ($1 billion for security at the G-8, $6 billion for fighter jets, and on and on); now, thanks to Mr. Moore, we are paying for Conservative party pre-election campaign ads. Shame on you, Mr. Moore. The sooner an election comes, the better. I look forward to returning you to the private sector; but, wait, that won’t be so onerous, will it? Not with the big, fat pension you will get for the rest of your life — thanks again to the Canadian taxpayer. Barrie Abbott Port Coquitlam

labour unions and welfare programs do not stimulate the economy. Neil Swanson Coquitlam ••• The anticipated federal election is likely the most important one of the decade because there is so much at stake for working families, the economy and government’s spending priorities. The real decision Canadians must make is whether we go in a new direction or whether we remain in the present course. For all the issues we are told we care about — health care, economic stability, military spending — I question whether we need to embark in an entirely new direction. We’ve seen the failures of some Editor policies. We’ve seen them, and we’ve suffered from them. We’ve seen how badly the situation can be screwed up, but seriously — is this time for a revolution or are we creating a train wreck? Stephen Harper has created his own brand of Reaganomics, which has for good, bad and indifferent, kept the Conservatives in power. For years, Harper has sought to control everything: Parliament, the Senate, the opposition parties. And everything he has touched, he has been successful at manipulating. Why? Because, when it comes to governing, Conservatives have enjoyed the dysfunction of the Liberals and NDP. The federal Conservatives, like the B.C. Liberals have governed and are successful at that. Therefore, for our own prosperity, we should stay the course. William Perry Victoria ••• An attack on Michael Inatieff came through

After just three acupuncture treatments I’ve quit.” P. Chew, 88 years old was having Sciatica.

The leaves are beginning to turn, and what better way to celebrate the occasion than with a Mid-Autumn Festival? Henderson Place Mall is once again throwing open its doors to host its annual celebration of the coming fall with the festival set for Saturday, Sept. 18 from noon to 4 p.m. Free workshops, fun activities for children, exciting performances, exhibition booths and more will be available, and children and adults are invited to enter the lanternmaking contest by taking part in a free how-to workshop. Winners will receive prizes and a trophy. The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the “full-moon festival,” is a popular harvest festival celebrated by Chinese and Vietnamese people. It typically falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, when the moon appears brighter and larger than any other time of the year. Farmers celebrate the end of summer harvesting and Chinese families and friends gather together to admire the bright moon and eat moon cakes — a traditional round flaked pastry stuffed with a wide variety of fillings like egg yolks, lotus seed paste, red bean paste and coconut. Carrying or hanging brightly lit lanterns, planting mid-autumn trees and burning incense are also customs associated with the celebration of the coming fall. Admission is free to MidAutumn Festival Activities, and residents are invited to visit the moon cake booth for a tasting. Henderson Place Mall is located at 1163 Pinetree Way, at Lincoln Avenue, in Coquitlam. For information about the event, call 604-689-8898.

LOCAL HEATING CONTRACTOR GIVING AWAY FREE FURNACES WITH THE INSTALLATION OF ANY HEAT PUMP SYSTEM!

Dear Friend, Heating season is fast approaching and soon our phone will be ringing off the hook. Unfortunately our dreaded four week “shoulder season” that precedes our normal high season is also about to arrive. This time of year Scott Campell can be a killer to our staff as it isn’t hot enough for Local Business Owner air conditioning calls or cold enough for heating calls. I don’t want my highly skilled technicians waiting for the weather to break so I am making this bold offer.

Books donated by the Blue Mountain Quilters’ Guild were on display Saturday.

With every new complete heat pump / furnace system we install until September 25, 2010 we will give the furnace for free! That’s right, the furnace is free. No special high end only, no builder grade special, whatever type or efficiency heat pump / furnace system installed will receive the furnace for free. All of these systems come with our ten-year parts and labour warranty, that means no repair costs for you until 2020! Now this special offer can’t last forever, when the cooler weather comes we will be simply too busy to consider a special like this. This sale must end on September 25, 2010! HURRY, CALL 946-1000 TODAY, THE FIRST 25 SYSTEMS SOLD WILL RECEIVE A FREE WIRELESS THERMOSTAT VALUED AT $ 495.00 This is a state of the art wireless thermostat, with this thermostat you can control your house’s heating from any room in your home. Still not enough? How about special financing rates as low as 6.24% with no payments for 6 months. Call now before the cooler weather comes and it’s too late for you to save big on replacing your old furnace. I’ve saved the best for last! Now, here the part where I explain how you may be able to buy your system without taking a penny extra out of your pocket and in some cases put some pennies back into your pocket. If your furnace is more than ten years old, and you replace it with an energy star system, the money you may save on your utility bill could be enough to pay the monthly payment on your new system. PLUS THERE MAY BE GOVERNMENT GRANTS FOR UP TO $1420 AVAILABLE!! Think about it. Replacing an outdated system with a current more efficient and reliable energy star rated system could more than pay for your new system.

09157920

Here’s another way of looking at it. With what you may save on your utility bills and may receive from the Provincial or Federal Government, it’s like having the utility company and government pay for your new air conditioning and heating system! Call now don’t wait until there is frost in the air and your old furnace starts acting up, save time and save your money! Call 604-946-1000

Celebrating 40 years!

40 years of passion, curiosity and success New college strategic plan charts a bold course for Douglas

▲ (Left) Construction on the New Westminster campus started in 1979 and took over two years to complete.

When Douglas College ﬁrst threw open its doors in September 1970, no one could have foreseen that its graduates would go on to become political leaders, business moguls, sports stars – even celebrated actors and musicians. After all, just getting the doors open in the ﬁrst place proved to be quite a challenge. In the early 1960s, after the provincial government recommended the creation of community colleges across B.C., two competing lobby groups arose in the Lower Mainland and began vying for two different institutions. It took more than three years of often bitter cross-community sparring and the intervention of the provincial government to convince the two factions to set aside their differences and unite to form a single college. In 1969, the name Douglas College was chosen for the new school. But without a campus and with a capital budget of only $950,000, where would the students go? College administration was left scrambling to cobble together space

in existing school facilities, church basements, warehouses – anything that could serve as a classroom. By Fall of 1970, the college had been able to secure enough classroom space at more than 20 locations across the region, including a smattering of portables on a dusty patch of land at the corner of Eighth Avenue at McBride in New Westminster. Douglas College was ﬁnally able to open with 85 faculty members and 1,600 students. Of course, that was then. Today, Douglas College spans two major campuses: the New Westminster Campus (which opened in 1982) and the David Lam Campus in Coquitlam, as well as a Training Centre in Surrey. Every year, about 20,000 students from across the Lower Mainland and around the world come to Douglas for post-secondary education: Bachelor’s degrees, university transfer courses, career programs in health care and human services, business, and creative arts, as well as short-term, non-credit courses for career or personal development. Douglas

About our name. . .

Douglas College is named after Sir James Douglas, one of British Columbia’s most inﬂuential leaders. Born in Guyana in 1803, the son of a free Creole woman and a Scottish plantation owner, James Douglas was a motivated self starter who placed a high value

on education. Overcoming many obstacles, he worked his way up in the Hudson’s Bay Company and married Amelia Connolly, a Cree-Irish woman who became his life-long partner. At the height of his career, James Douglas transitioned into politics, becoming the ﬁrst governor

has 750 instructors who are highly regarded for bringing both academic rigor and their own real-world experience to the classroom to help students ignite their potential. And after 40 years of success, Douglas College is set to chart a new course. Later this month, the College will unveil an ambitious new strategic plan devoted to achieving the bold vision of positioning Douglas as the largest and most progressive baccalaureate degreegranting college in B.C. Thousands of students have passed through the classrooms and corridors of Douglas College over the last 40 years. Thousands of students have gone on to achieve their goals in work and life and made a lasting, positive impact on their communities. Douglas College is proud to be part of the fabric of the community and an important contributor to the economic and social foundation of the Lower Mainland. For more on Douglas College programs, visit douglascollege. ca

of British Columbia. Today he is considered one of the province’s founding fathers. The story of James and Amelia Douglas is in many ways a modern one and reﬂective of the multicultural tapestry that has become the Lower Mainland. Douglas College is proud to bear the Douglas name.

Oldest synagogue restored in ’60s  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24.

with steely determination and (literally) suicidal courage against the Roman army legions, in a siege that lasted for three gruelling months. We arrive at the base of the mountain, and board a cable car that whips us to the top in five minutes. Masada sank into oblivion until the site was rediscovered in the late 1800s, but restoration didn’t take place until the early 1960s. Today, walking past stone walls and buildings such as the Byzantine church and large bathhouse, it isn’t hard to imagine the sound of prayers emanating from the oldest synagogue in Israel (it predates the Second Temple in Jerusalem), or the conversational chatter of workers stacking foodstuff in the warehouse granaries. Looking out over the western plains below, our guide Carmela points out the ruins of a Roman legionary campsite. The Sicarii led by commander Eleazar Ben Yair could have held out indefinitely against the Roman siege — their gigantic cisterns fed by an intricate system of channels, contained enough water to last for at least five years. Whereas today only little tufts of grass survive the scorching desert sun, Masada once boasted grain fields, fruit trees and vegetable gardens. Carmela adds, smiling, “Defenders pelted the Romans with tomatoes and flung water down on them to prove they had ample provisions and would never surrender.” And they never did. The Romans built a ramp and ruptured the fortresses’ surrounding walls. It was an empty victory. All they found were dead bodies, and burned out buildings. “The granary,” Carmela says, “was deliberately left intact.” It flaunted the fact that the men and women of Masada wouldn’t have starved, but chose death over

being prisoners of the Romans. The question remains — was this a mass suicide? Unlikely, since Judiasim prohibits suicide. According to the only account handed down to us by Flavius Josephus, a first-century historian, the Jews of Masada drew lots to kill all inhabitants and then each other in turn, the last man being the only one to commit suicide. These lottery-drawn names have now been unearthed at Masada, which lends credence to Josephus’ account. Masada stands as a symbolic testament to the indomitable spirit of Israel. That evening in the dusk-softened air, our group returns to the foot of Masada, this time to experience a stupendous operatic performance by the Israeli Opera Company. Appropriately enough, the presentation is Verdi’s Nabucco, a complex story of Jewish betrayal, passion and revenge. The backdrop couldn’t be more powerful: Masada, floodlit, is outlined against the night sky. Apart from spectacular light and sound stage effects, the sheer spectacle of thousands of people (more than 5,000 by one estimate) in an amphitheatre open to the starlit desert sky carries its own theatrical impact. The pièce de resistance of the evening is, “Va pensiero sull’ali dorate,” the haunting song of Jewish slaves longing for their homeland. The audience roars, weeps and applauds wildly until conductor Daniel Oren puts the opera on hold to do an extempore encore of “Va Pensiero.” And even then the audience refuses to stop applauding. An overwhelmed Oren turns to the crowd, invites them to sing along, and does a third and final rendering of the slaves’ chorus. The entire amphitheatre throbs with emotion. Next June, Masada will form the backdrop to Verdi’s Aïda. Like Nabbuco, I’ve no doubt that it will be an unforgettable performance.

BACK TO CLASS Parents invited to prepare for post-secondary classes, too

he parents of new Simon Fraser University undergrads are getting as much of a grounding in the ABC’s of successful higher learning as their kids. For the third consecutive year, student services at Simon Fraser University’s Surrey campus is hosting a free two-hour fall orientation session for the family members of new students freshly graduated from high school. Campus director Joanne Curry will welcome attendees to the event, which kicks off in Room 2600 at Westminster Savings Credit Union Theatre on Thursday, Sept. 23, from 6:15 to 8:15 p.m. Jane Fee, associate dean of the faculty of arts and social sciences, and

staff in career services and student life will prep parents on how to support their teenager’s transition from high school to university. They will also advise parents on supporting high school graduates’ career-making decisions and provide an overview of campus resources tailored to those needs. The session will conclude with a panel discussion featuring upper year SFU students talking and fielding questions about their university experience at the Surrey campus. Attendees can then check out an SFU information fair at the Dale B. Regehr Grand Hall, where they can talk to academic program advisors, faculty members and seasoned students.

Volunteers will be on hand to take attendees on campus tours at 5:30 p.m. before the presentations start and after the information fair at 7:45 p.m. “Parents at these sessions are looking for more resources to help their kids get the most out of a post-secondary education and many come with their kids,” said Emma Horsley, a co-organizer of the Surrey orientation session and outreach and student engagement co-ordinator for the campus’ Tech One program. Although student services at the Burnaby campus doesn’t host a special orientation session for parents, it does welcome them to campus tours and makes a wide variety of online information resources accessible to

them. These include a newsletter, which has 400 parent subscribers, an Ask SFU database with information geared to answering parental questions and an e-mail address to which parents can send questions. Earlier this summer, for the second consecutive year, the faculty of health sciences (FHS) independently held living and studying in exponential times, an orientation presentation for the parents of its 250 incoming undergrads from high school. “Many of these parents are university or college educated,” says Bratislav Mladenovic, FHS undergraduate programs co-ordinator. “They are directly involved in helping their kids make the right

academic choices to maximize their eligibility for promising career opportunities. “We spend a couple of hours sharing information about the cognitive and vocational benefits of higher education and how to make academic and course scheduling choices that secure those benefits.” Mladenovic says two thirds of attendees take advantage of an additional half hour workshop on using SFU’s student information system to register their kids in courses. They all express interest in staying connected to their kids’ higher education in the faculty of health sciences by getting involved in volunteer opportunities, such as manning a booth at SFU open houses.

s most parents will attest, getting into the old routine when school returns is a good thing — except when the old routine involves unsustainable consumption. The Ministry of Education encourages parents and students to consider the areas in which they can keep back-to-school preparations as environmentally friendly as they can.

At home

• Clean waxed paper, plastic bags and tinfoil can be reused several times, and instead

of including pre-packaged drinks in school lunches, a small thermos of cold milk or juice will cut down on unnecessary packaging. • Buy good-quality, long-lasting products that can be handed down to younger children. • Use cold water when washing clothing. • Encourage children to take shorter showers, using a restricted-flow shower head. • Turn off taps when brushing their teeth instead of wasting water. • Turn off lights, electronic devices and computers when not in use.

BACK TO CLASS Students getting tickets from Rover needs a new routine, too cops — but it’s a good thing

Getting a ticket from a police officer can be a positive experience under a program adopted by the Coquitlam RCMP detachment. They’re called “positive tickets,” and are given to young people to reinforce the idea that obeying the law and making smart decisions is a good thing. “We’re supporting good behaviour,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet. “Essentially our officers are encouraged to look for kids doing things right and acknowledge the behaviour by handing out positive tickets. These coupons are specifically provided by both Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam Recreation facilities for free swims, skates and gym drop-ins.” Paquet said the program is extremely popular with young people and helps generate a positive image of police officers as well as healthy lifestyle habits. “As officers we want the kids to know that we are approachable. We want them to know that we are a resource in the community and that we are here to ensure their safety” Paquet added. In partnership with the Cities of Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, the Coquitlam RCMP launched the positive pass or ticket program in the spring of 2008. This program is part of an asset-building philosophy that serves as the foundation of the Coquitlam RCMP’s youth strategy, which aims to strengthen the relationship

Yes, we even need to plan back-to-school days with our four-legged friends in mind. DogSafe is urging dog owners to keep up with walks every day despite the change in weather and daily rituals, as busy back-toschool times can sometimes mean dogs find themselves alone for extended periods of time. “Under-exercised dogs that are left alone may begin to chew on household items that may cause cuts to the mouth, airway or intes-

Police officers are encouraged to use these positive tickets to “break the ice” with youth. On occasion, these tickets even become coveted by the youth who are proud of getting one; Paquet said he’s heard of youth who actually keep the tickets, instead of redeeming them. “Many of our police officers hand out these passes in the summer months to young persons who are wearing their bicycle helmets while riding their bicycles on the roadways or their protective gear while skateboarding at the park,”

Paquet said. “Seeing the smile on these kids’ faces makes the interaction even more positive.” “You should see the look on their faces when we approach them and they realize that not only they are not in trouble, but we’re actually recognizing that they are making the right decisions about safety and giving them something because of it,” said school liaison program Cpl. Louis Delisle. “They usually run to back to their buddies who aren’t wearing helmets and brag about what they just got. It’s a positive peer pressure and for us, a win-win situation.”

tinal obstructions,” DogSafe founder Michelle Sevigny said. “Anxious dogs may even break through windows resulting in glass cuts or bored dogs may dig out of the yard, both of which can be safety risks if they get hit by a car or lost while on the loose.” Gradually introduce your dog to the new school routine. Leave your dog alone for longer periods of time, and slowly introduce new morning rituals.

Ringworm is misleading term it is not worm at all. Ringworm (or dermatophytosis) is an infectious skin disease caused by fungi. It is common in dogs, cats, other domestic animals and humans. Kittens are affected more often then adult cats and may show a variety of clinical signs, such as hair loss, scaling on the head, itchiness and/or nodules in the skin. Likewise puppies are more susceptible to ringworm than adult dogs with different symptoms of hairless round or irregular shaped scaly patches of skin that may be red and/or itchy. Sometimes there are no clinical signs at all. Those animals often serve as unapparent source of infection to other animals and humans. D r. N e n a d K a r l i , Fungus is easily transferred from animals to humans or from humans to animals by direct contact. DVM & Assoc. If your Veterinarian suspects roundworm he/she may check your pet under a special light called Wood’s Lamp. However a Wood’s lamp is only 60% accurate and therefore to conﬁrm a diagnosis your Veterinarian will need to take a sample of hair and skin from the lesion area and place it in a test medium. If your pet is positive, ringworm will grow in the test medium in about 1 to 3 weeks. Ringworm can take about 2 to 5 months to resolve and during this time animals are a source of infection and can transfer the fungus easily to other pets and humans. For this reason proper diagnoses and treatment is essential. Treatments: Your Veterinarian will choose the appropriate medications needed for your pet. Environment: To stop the cycle of roundworm, spores in the environment must be destroyed. To decontaminate the environment use watered down bleach for cleaning surfaces, pet carriers, kennels and pet bedding. Also make sure to vacuum and steam clean your carpets. Conﬁne your pet to a small area to prevent spores from contaminating your home. Welcoming new and existing clients at new location (by appointment) A N I M A L H O S P I TA L OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK

HAIL THE HEROES: Coquitlam’s list of triumphant teams and great athletes could fill a large hall, and the city will soon have one. Open for nominations, the long list of possible inductees includes the Adanacs’ World and Mann Cup champions (above), Olympic silver medalist Christine Larsen (top right photo, at left with teammate Kathy Glen), national beach volleyball champ Kirsten Manley-Casimir (right), former national soccer team player David Norman Jr.,(far right), and (below) basketball great Lars Hansen.

Have your say on filling Coquitlam’s hall of fame Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com Are you ready to choose your champions? The old baseball adage, if you build it they will come, is something that invites endless possibilities for the new entrance to the Coquitlam Sports and Leisure Complex. Slated to open this fall, the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame will serve as a focal point for the public as they enter the leisure complex — honouring yesterday’s and today’s heroes. One component — the Wall of Fame — will pay tribute to athletes and volunteers on an annual basis. The main piece, the Hall of Fame, will commemorate careers and grand accomplishments. For those moments and people to be honoured, the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame committee is seeking the public’s help. Who will be among the first to be celebrated when the Hall of Fame is officially opened? What teams, which leaders will be chosen first? That’s open for discussion, and your input. As the sports editor at the NOW for the past 17 years, I have had the privilege of chronicling many of the great accomplishments of our local athletes and teams. Also as a member of the Hall of Fame committee, I’ve witnessed the preparation for what should be a terrific tribute to the

community’s standouts and quiet leaders. There’s a lot of history to celebrate — but where to start? The committee eagerly invites nominations from the public through its website (www.coquitlamshof.com), with a deadline of Sept. 30 for the first year’s inductees. A short list of prospective people includes Olympic athletes, national champions, individual stars, amazing teams, great competitors and dedicated volunteers. Many of the city’s early sports highlights are being compiled by former Coquitlam sports and recreation manager Don Cunnings for a book. But Cunnings also has first-hand experience on the topic, having coached five Canadian champions in the sport of gymnastics during the mid-1950s. Gilbert Braconnier, Robert Chartier, Joe Marchand, Jules Gagnon and Neil Godin teamed together at Lady of Lourdes school out of Maillardville en route to a national team title. When it comes to high school sports, the city has had its share of victors, including last year’s Centennial Centaurs. That school first tasted provincial greatness with the 1966 Centennial Centaurs’ B.C. football win, captained by future Canadian lacrosse hall of famer Steve D’Easum. The ranks of Centaur alumni who merit consideration include Lars Hansen, who led the

charge in 1972 when the boys basketball team trumped North Delta for the B.C. crown. Hansen would play for Canada and win an NBA title ring with Seattle, and go on to be elected into the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame. The list of local boys who proved to be powers on the high school court include 1985 B.C. MVP Cam Aronetz and Coquitlam High (pre-Como Lake) alumnus Claude Brunelle (in 1948), and Ernie Nyhaug (1949, 1951 with New West’s Duke of Connaught). The senior girls took back-to-back B.C. titles in the 1980s, with Crystal Caldwell earning the MVP award in ’87. Playing key roles for Centennial over the years were Laura Betcher, Sandra Charles, Brenda Giesbrecht, Chris Marshall and Jackie Valois. After high school, many went on to peak in other sports, like two-time national beach volleyball champ Kirsten Manley-Casimir, softball’s Candace Murray, and soccer greats Geri Donnelly, Craig Forrest and David Norman Jr. Of course, no jog down Coquitlam sports memory lane could be complete without lacrosse. The senior Adanacs club boasts a double-crown claim that no other lacrosse franchise can — having won a Mann Cup (2001) and a Nations World championship (1980 — the only year of

the tournament). Those two teams were a focal point for community pride. Among the many standout players in the franchise’s history, Mike Reelie has been called one of the greatest players to don the uniform. He was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2003, the same year as Western Lacrosse Association rival and Coquitlam native Geordie Dean. Dean helped lead the New Westminster Salmonbellies to three Mann Cup titles, setting numerous records along the way. If it’s international acclaim, a number of potential nominees have done it on the world’s biggest stage — the Olympics and Paralympics. Medallists Christine Larsen (silver in synchronized swimming, 1996), Kelley Law (bronze in curling, 2002) and Ljiljana Ljubisic (gold at ’92 Paralympics, bronze in 1984, ’88 and ‘96) top a lengthy list of international competitors, one that includes speed skater Neal Marshall, gymnast Kate Richardson, wrestler Chris Wilson and runners Leah Pells and Tara Perry. Then there are the key builders and volunteers — people like Dan Doyle, who is considered the father of B.C. High School Sports, Coquitlam baseball legends Roger Michaud and Bill Green, and the late Percy Perry of track and field. The above list is impressive but incomplete. If you want to help honour our local heroes, go to www.coquitlamshof.com and have your say.

Offence clicks as Express pick up first win Fox finds a way

The offence looked sharp in the season’s first two games. Tightening up on defence is next on the agenda for the Coquitlam Express as they head north for a pair of games this week. Coquitlam kicked off the BC Hockey League season Friday with a hard-luck 6-5 overtime loss in Victoria to the Grizzlies. A day later, they turned in a big third period to knock off the Cowichan Valley Capitals 5-3. Rookie Destry Straight capped off a three-point road trip with what proved to

be the game-winner with 13 minutes left in the third. Veteran blueliner Riley McIntosh wired a point shot for his first BCHL goal. Massimo Lamacchia, Alex Petan and Brad Reid, rounded out the offence. “I think everyone believes we can win and that’s what we showed on the first weekend,” said Reid. “We showed we can come back in both games, which was nice.” It was similar, but different, in the season opener in Victoria. After falling behind 3-1 in the first, the Express found their footing and slowly chipped their way back,

forcing overtime when Reid potted his second of the day. Rookie netminder Khaleed Devji, who took over for Luke Hernandez to start the second, turned aside a penalty shot in the extra session before ex-Express winger Ryan Stanimir gave the Grizzlies the win with 17 seconds left in overtime. Coquitlam now heads north to Quesnel and Prince George for games Friday and Saturday, before returning home for the Friday, Sept. 24 home opener (7 p.m.) against Surrey.

Raiders rain on Burnaby’s junior bantam parade The Coquitlam Raiders rolled right on by Burnaby 50-0 in junior bantam football action. The Raiders came out cruising with touchdowns by Cordell Parker, Mike West, Bryan Whittet and QB Conner McKee. Showing no mercy on defence were the trifecta of Christopher Adetola, Adam Camilleri and Bailey Milburn.

ATOM

Behind Jamall Mensah’s three touchdowns, the Coquitlam Lions roared long and loud against North Surrey in a 38-0 win.

Adding to the offensive effort were J.D. Johnson and Greyson Norris, with majors. Johnson also nailed four point-after attempts. Defensively, the club got standout work from Uriah Hestdalen, Kieren Little and Sebastiano Mazzuca. It was quite a different result from their first game of the season, a hard-fought 2618 loss to Cloverdale. • The spotlight was on, but the Coquitlam atom Bears didn’t flinch. Under the lights at the Burnaby Lakes Complex, the Bears manhan-

dled Burnaby 44-8. Setting the tone on offence were Matthew Glover and Jevaun Jacobsen, while both lines held their ground.

PEEWEE

Despite some wet weather, the Coquitlam Wildcats were in fine form with an 18-0 shutout over North Surrey. Newcomer Kimani Dorsey got the season off to a great start, scoring the game’s first major. Later in the first half, Keon Taffe cashed in his first of two touchdowns. The defence did a terrific

job of holding North Surrey off the scoresheet. Providing great tackling were Nico DePaoli and Adam Tennant.

In a tight exhibition battle against two top-ranked rivals, the end result isn’t the final measurement. But it should shake up the rankings some. The No. 5-ranked Terry Fox Ravens edged No.2-rated Vancouver College 19-14 in AAA football action last Friday. On their first possession, Fox marched 75 yards on 14 rushing plays and let Jacob Patko break through on a one-yard plunge for the lead. On their next turn, the Ravens got within striking distance on quarterback Cam Canales’ 49-yard scamper, setting up a 15-yard pass to Tanner White for a 13-0 lead. After Vancouver got on the scoreboard on a 67-yard pass, Patko would add his second of the day, this time a six-yard run. He would finish with 129 yards on 20 carries. The gap was closed once more, but in the end Fox’s defence held the Irish at bay. “I think our defence is a little bit ahead of our offence, but we’re catching up,” Ravens co-coach Martin McDonnell noted. Guillaume Leroux, with five tackles, and Ben Sharpe, with four and an interception, led the defence. Fox’s next test comes Friday (7:30 p.m.) in New Westminster against the Hyacks.

Your BC Lions — In Their Own Words Emmanuel Arceneaux - 84 I’m from the south – I was born and raised in Alexandria, Louisiana. As a guy who has always been pretty athletic, I began playing football in high school and also ran track. In fact, I did so well at that level that I was named an all-district wide receiver and free safety and was also an honourable mention place kicker in my senior year. When I graduated from high school, I decided that attending college at Mississippi’s Alcorn State University would give me the best opportunity to get a post-secondary education while realizing my dream to play football at the next level. After four years with the Braves, I seized the opportunity to head north to Canada to join the Lions Emmanuel Arceneaux joined youngsters on the field this as a rookie guy in their receiving corps. I had a great time summer during the BC Lions’ annual Timbits Camp. Photos courtesy BC Lions in my first season which motivated me to train even harder when I went back home during the winter months, in addition to working as a substitute teacher and track coach at my former high school while mentoring local kids as part of Alexandria’s Boys and Girls Club. Now that I’m in my second season, I still can’t believe that I get to come to work every day to play the game I love. Nothing would make me happier than to win a championship with this team. Win or lose, the guys in our locker room are a close group and I’m proud of our accomplishments on and off the field. As a kid who dreamed of being a professional athlete from a young age, I know what it’s like to look to others for inspiration. For that reason, I love taking part in the Lions’ community efforts during the season, particularly the club’s annual Timbits Camp. I feel proud knowing that I could be teaching football basics and the importance of being active to a young kid who one day could use his or her athletic ability to secure a university scholarship and a bright future. As a guy who comes from a small town, I know that it’s up to the local community to invest in their kids in order to ensure they succeed in life.

Many schools now offer courses that can be completed online which gives students the opportunity to upgrade their skills, study for a career, or take the proper training to switch jobs without having to attend a traditional college or university. For students wishing to work, maintain a family or study a program not offered at a school near them, online education is a great solution. Check out these reasons why learning online clicks with your lifestyle: 1. Attend courses anytime, from anywhere. Maintain your job, your I’M family and your current schedule by logging on to study whenever and wherever is convenient. 2. Study at your own pace. Since course material is always accessible online, get a head-start on lectures or reread the difﬁcult ones. 3. Participate openly and freely. Online chats are an anonymous environment perfect for sharing ideas and giving voice to all students, regardless of personality, age, gender, or race. This creates for a much less intimidating learning space. 4. Beneﬁt from instructors with diverse backgrounds. Students are exposed to instructors with varied work histories and
