Flooding strands senior in basement John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com A Maillardville woman in her 70s was trapped in four feet of water in her basement Sunday after heavy rains hit the Tri-Cities. “Her dog was paddling around inside the house and everything was starting to float,” Coquitlam Fire and Rescue chief Tony Delmonico said in an interview Tuesday. “[Crews] responded and tried to find out where the source of the water was, after they had removed the lady from the residence. The problem is, when the water gets inside there, I guess it pinned her door and she was unable to force the door open.” Delmonico said fire crews responded to seven calls early Sunday morning, and the majority of them were related to flooding in basements on Blue Mountain Street, Rochester, Gauthier and Quadling avenues. “All of them were water related,” he said. “The worstcase scenario was the fourfoot high water in the basement of the one residence. Most of them are anywhere from a few inches up to about a foot of water, mostly in basements.” Bill Susak, Coquitlam’s manager of engineering and public works, said Monday the city received more than 50 millimetres of rain on Saturday, and was awaiting reports on the amount of rain that fell on Sunday. Saturday’s rain alone eclipsed the previous benchmark of 45 mm in one day set in the 1970s. Last weekend’s totals resulted in 25 to 30 calls coming into the city within a  CONT.

Metro sewer plan will cost PoCo

Regional government is asking city to pay for upgrades and maintenance Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com Increased costs could soon flow down the pipe and dump on Port Coquitlam taxpayers for upgrades to the city’s sewer system. Metro Vancouver is asking Port Coquitlam to pay $420,000 in one-time costs plus another $2.1 million in annual fees to implement liquid-waste management initiatives. As well, the city would need to hire staff to fill 1.65 full-time equivalent positions. Metro Vancouver’s integrated liquid waste and resource management plan identifies goals and actions for different municipalities’ liquid waste services, including wastewater collection and treatment, storm-water management and environmental

monitoring programs. While PoCo council agreed to support the plan in principle, members decided they need more time to review the implications of full sewer infrastructure replacement — which would cost an estimated $1.5 million. Annual maintenance would cost another $9,000. Long-term capital funding for sewer infrastructure replacement will be considered during 2011 budget discussions. However, Coun. Glenn Pollock said the city has no choice but to support the recommended changes. “It’s legislated so we have to go along with it,” Pollock said. The long-term goals of the sustainable region initiative are to protect public health and the environment, to use liquid waste as a resource and

to implement affordable and collaborative system management. The plan calls for Port Coquitlam to enhance sewer-use bylaws, approve a pesticide-control bylaw and educate members of the public on how to reduce liquid waste on their own properties. In addition, PoCo will need to reduce inflow, infiltration and cross-connections on private properties. The city will also need to provide additional inspection and enforcement. As well, private property owners would need to repair or replace leaking sewer lines on their land. The regional integrated waste plan also recommends that Port Coquitlam accelerate its integrated storm-water management plans.  CONTINUED ON PAGE 8, see FUNDING SITUATION.

Former Coquitlam mayor now faces a fourth charge sblais@thenownews.com A fourth charge has been added to the case against former Coquitlam mayor Jon Kingsbury. The indictment against Kingsbury sworn into B.C. Supreme Court in September lists an additional charge of fraud over $5,000. Langley RCMP announced in March 2009 that Crown prosecutors had approved three charges against Kingsbury: theft over $5,000, personation with intent to gain advantage and causing a person to use a forged document. Kingsbury was ordered to stand trial after a

preliminary inquiry on the three charges found there was sufficient evidence for a trial in March, and the fourth charge was added then. Crown spokesperson Neil MacKenzie confirmed all four charges will be heard together in New Westminster next month. “The Crown’s proceeding on this additional count when the trial goes ahead,” he said. The charges arose out of Langley, where a trailer was taken to Travelhome RV Marketplace for warranty repairs. Police have alleged that Kingsbury showed up to claim the 27-foot-long recreational trailer on Aug. 14, 2008, posing as a former business associate to drive it away. He was arrested on Oct. 9, 2008. Kingsbury, however, has maintained he

owned the trailer as part of a business deal. Peter Schmidt, Kingsbury’s defence counsel, said the fourth charge did not come as a surprise, as the additional charge arose from the same alleged circumstances as the previous three charges. “It was something that was discussed with Crown prior to the prelim, and the charges were approved at the prelim,” he said. “It

doesn’t add any new facts to the circumstances.” Kingsbury was first elected as a Coquitlam councillor in 1987 and served as mayor from 1998 to 2005, when he lost his re-election bid to challenger Maxine Wilson by a mere 52 votes after a judicial recount. Five days have been set aside in Supreme Court for the trial, which begins on Oct. 18.

Coquitlam RCMP are asking for the public’s help in locating a man who walked away from a psychiatric hospital. A media release from the RCMP notes that Robert Ryan Franks left Port Coquitlam’s Forensic Psychiatric Hospital on an authorized leave on Sept. 12, but did not return by his scheduled curfew. “There is concern about Mr. Franks’ condition as he is at risk of deterioration without medication, which in turn may cause him to become aggressive towards others,” the release states.

Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com The first few weeks of school are busy at the best of times. But this year, things are even more hectic due to province-wide glitches plaguing a student-information computer program. The British Columbia Enterprise Student Information System (BCeSIS) is a software package used across B.C. to register students and extract information for timetables and data compilation. Since the start of the school year, computer problems have stalled the system to a near standstill. School District 43 superintendent Tom Grant extended an apology to the school community last week for the ongoing concern. “There have been significant issues with our BCeCIS package this year. In fact, for the first day of school, we couldn’t access it. The second day was slow, and it’s been slow ever since,” Grant said at the first board meeting

The system slowdown has also caused a backlog in creating timetables and assigning teachers to classes. District 43 spokesperson Cheryl Quinton said several hundred students still don’t have their timetables confirmed in the third week of classes. “It’s a very frustrating process. Administrators and counsellors are spending countless hours trying to get the numbers inputted and staying away from the peak times,” Quinton said. “This means we have administrators going in at all hours of the night and counsellors working at all hours, trying to avoid the peak times just so that they can try to get the students inputted. It’s been a very considerable task.” So far, there’s no word on when the system-wide problems will be fixed. “At this point, we’re so appreciative of all the extra work that’s being done by administrators and counsellors and teachers to put in all this extra time,” Quinton added. “We’ve certainly appreciated the cooperation of the parents and students. It’s been a very frustrating time.”

City turns down requests for property tax exemptions John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com Non-profit groups and other community organizations asking for a break on property taxes in Coquitlam could be in for a harsh dose of financial reality in coming weeks. With the exception of Couns. Linda Reimer, Selina Robinson and Neal Nicholson, council voted to not grant any new property tax exemptions for 2011 while at the same time re-examining the process the city undertakes in granting exemptions to groups that already get them: churches, community care facilities and a handful of other societies. Council’s decision Monday was a recommendation to staff, and no bylaw was officially passed. That said, the matter is slated to come up again at the Oct. 4 council meeting, at which time the bylaw will be voted upon. The discussion was precipitated by two new groups applying for exemptions: The Simon Fraser Society for Community Living and the Canadian Ski Patrol System — Greater Vancouver Zone. The two applications represented tax exemptions totalling $23,043. Cathy Anthony, the Simon Fraser Society for Community Living’s acting director of planning and support, appeared before council asking for exemptions for 10 properties the society owns within the city that “provide early intervention and family support services for children

Coun. Selina Robinson: “… the problem lies with the province.” and youth who are at risk for or who experience a developmental delay or disability and leisure, volunteer, supported employment and housing supports for adults with developmental disabilities.” “As we all know and as many have experienced, increasing funding constraints are really becoming quite challenging, and therefore our agency faces what we think will be funding reductions coming more and more this way,” Anthony said. The ski patrol system, on the other hand, was asking for clemency for its head office on Fawcett Road to help facilitate first aid training and other outdoor-related safety courses. “We do want people to feel safe and secure and we feel that we’re a big part of that with our first aid training in and around the area,” said ski patrol system spokesperson Shannon Cupskey, who estimated that her members spend about $52,000 yearly in Coquitlam. Virtually all councillors lamented having to make

Monday’s decision, and most blamed senior levels of government — particularly the province — for creating an environment of downloading and offloading of services to municipalities. “To provide tax relief on property taxes means that the rest of the taxpayers pick up the balance,” Robinson said. “It’s like the taxpayers are having to cover even more, so I think the problem lies with the province.” “Council knows where this is going,” added Mayor Richard Stewart. “We’ve seen the light at the end of the tunnel — it’s essentially an approaching train where everybody will be asking for an exemption. And it’s not really an exemption. It’s actually a redirection.” According to a city staff report, the value of permissive tax exemptions granted in Coquitlam was $770,000 in 2009 and $793,000 in 2010. Those numbers are expected to jump to more than $800,000 next year. “We need a certain amount of money to run our city every year and what we don’t bring in from some properties we have to offload that onto other properties,” said Coun. Doug Macdonell. “What they’re asking us to be exempt from is the same thing that everybody else pays for.”

Opinion

Gun registry a good start

The gun registry debate boils down to this. On the one side, the registry is understood to be a step towards curbing support for arms and militancy. And on the other, the registry is seen as interfering with benign activities like duck hunting. Firearm management is particularly difficult because our good neighbour to the south manufactures and distributes guns like bottled water — including firearms that are not appropriate for duck To The hunting or much else except combat. There is a real and pragmatic difference between a duck hunter’s shotgun and handguns or automatic weapons. To sort out who has what kind of weapons where, the first thing to do is ask the public, “What do you have?”

Interpreting the answer requires a database of “registered” firearms. Of course, such a registry does not solve the issue of the circulation of assault weapons, but it is a step toward attempting to distinguish between them and more benign firearms. We do not need combat weapons in the public domain. We can approach the problem in one of two ways. Either we proceed with facts or we act in ignorance and blindly hope we know truth Editor from ficton. No gun registry means less facts and turns getting to the heart of the issue — militancy and crime — a more ignorant effort. Eugene Parks Victoria

Drunk driving laws on the right track

t seems that when it comes to British Columbia’s drunk drivers the carrot didn’t work, so lawmakers are now using the whip. New legislation regarding minimum penalties and fines for drunk drivers and prolific speeders went into effect Monday, and is aimed at getting intoxicated motorists off the road immediately. The plan is to hit them where government thinks it will hurt the most: their wallets. B.C. motorists will now face a 90-day driving ban if they blow over 0.08 blood-alcohol level, have their car impounded for up to 30 days, pay up to $4,060 in fines and penalties, and face criminal charges. Some may balk or cry foul at what they see as excessive fines and penalties, or a government cash grab. The Liberals are touting them as the stiffest in the country. But we say they could be even higher. Consider the other costs: policing, emergency responders, health care, insurance and most of all human. What of the cost in human tragedy of losing a family member to a drunk driver? Drivers who get behind the wheel of a vehicle after they’ve been drinking have cost this province too much. Those with a criminal history of impaired driving and still get behind the wheel after drinking cost yet even more. ICBC statistics show that between 2005 and 2009, there were an average of 115 drunkdriving deaths per year, and those involving high speed as a factor averaged 155 deaths per year. That’s at minimum 270 families torn apart because drivers in this province couldn’t get it through their heads not to drink and drive, or slow down and obey the speed limit. Maybe now B.C. drivers will think twice when it comes to driving drunk, or flying through a school zone. We hope so.

— over any number of issues. I’ve long thought the anti-HST petition was signed by a lot of people who viewed it as more of an anti-B.C. Liberal petition than an anti-tax effort. I visited a lot of canvassing locations and witnessed many people asking, “Is that the anti-Campbell petition” or “Is that the anti-government petition?” Will Campbell’s popularity recover in time for next year’s referendum? According to various polls, he’s got a heck of a lot of ground to make up to even get to the point where half the electorate supports him. One wild card in all this speculation could be the fact that more than $2 billion in extra revenue over the next three years has suddenly materialized, thus creating the real possibility that next spring’s budget could contain significant tax cuts or some kind of financial rebate scheme (to go with the various ones already in place). But I’m not sure Campbell and the Liberals can buy their way back into the good graces of enough people to save the HST at this point. After nine years in power, a government — and especially a leader — can accumulate so much bad baggage that they inevitably sink. He may insist the HST referendum is not about his leadership, but Campbell may discover that for so many people, it is exactly about that — unless, of course, he resigns before the vote.

Mundy plan, PoCo pay raise point to why Tri-Cities should amalgamate It is incredible that Coquitlam city staff and council would even consider asking the citizens of Coquitlam whether they wanted zip lines and walkways to desecrate Mundy Park. The answer is really a no brainer to anyone who lives in Coquitlam. It’s a resounding “No” as evidenced by the outpouring of letters to local newspapers, including The NOW, responses to an online poll and mail-in questionnaire designed by the city and the history of the park. All this raises wider issues: • Why are city staff and council wasting time and taxpayer money in going through all this agonizing over a question, the answer to which should be obvious? A city administration that was in touch with electors should not even contemplate asking the question. • Are councillors so out of touch with their constituents that they were unable to predict the public’s view on this? • Has the issue been raised so that council can knock down a “straw man” by denying consideration of this proposition? After allowing residents to feel relieved at council getting their hands off Mundy Park, is council about to “discover” a “wonderful new location” (which they already have selected) which they hope will leave citizens so thankful that Mundy is not to be touched that they’ll accept the new location hook, line and sinker without realizing what’s happening? The recent self-awarded salary hike given Port Coquitlam council (how long before Coquitlam and Port Moody follow suit?) has stirred many citizens to advocate (in the local papers and on radio talk shows) consideration of amalgamating the Tri-Cities. This is long overdue.

Incumbents are often dismissive of the notion, raising objections that do not stand up to scrutiny. In the meantime, we, the taxpayers and users of city services and facilities, are held to ransom with paying for ad hoc salary increases and poor thinking. The next thing we’re about to see is the mayor, members of Coquitlam council and staff take a partly taxpayer-paid junket to Korea, which is very likely to bring no benefits to citizens, merely more expense and therefore more taxes. Do we have to keep paying out our money with little or no payback? A number of years ago, a group of wellqualified, widely experienced and concerned citizens from each of the Tri-Cities formed a group called TRAC (Tri-Cities Amalgamation Committee). Its objective was to To The get the Tri-Cities and the provincial government to do a study of the feasibility and costs/benefits of amalgamating the Tri-Cities. Provided the study showed positive benefits, the next step would have been to ask the province to conduct a referendum on the amalgamation of the Tri-Cities. Unfortunately, strong opposition by the smaller municipalities’ administrations — without any good reasons — was too closed-minded to even consider doing the study. All this is a great shame as, for example, Abbotsford/Matsqui, Ottawa and Toronto have all amalgamated successfully. Perhaps it is time for another organization to be formed that will not be content to be browbeaten by “big frogs in small puddles” and get such strong public backing (as now seems possible) that amalgamation of the Tri-Cities can no longer be dismissed out of hand.

Re: “Churches to help Tamil migrants,” Friday, Aug. 27. I would like to respond to Leslie Hammond’s offer of one month’s rent for a newly arrived Tamil family. How offensive that she would suggest the rest of us have no sense of charity to support these newly arrived “people in need.” Most of us are painfully aware that our federal tax dollars will support these people and all their needs for the next two years. Even SFU professor Andre Gerolymatos states in the same article that these new arrivals don’t need their rent paid for them for a month. They will be most generously Editor supported for the next two years on the backs of taxpayers. Do people who attend church believe they are the only ones who can be charitable? I am sorry that Leslie Hammond is not aware that our tax dollars will support any and all needs of the new Tamil arrivals. But it is most insulting that she seems to suggest that the rest of us are not as charitable. Some people just don’t have a clue where our tax dollars are spent, I guess. C. Simon Port Moody

Drivers miss a lot A 40-year-old vision I retain is from an early August morning in Pitt Meadows. I went for a short bike ride before going to work (that seldom happens). Ahead of me there was a cat stalking a group of small birds, probably finches, that were pecking at something in the road. As the hum of my tires warned the cat

of my approach, it broke into a sprint, thereby scaring the birds. As I and the cat sped along the road the birds took off, climbed, circled and like a flight of Spitfires they each dived on the cat and took a peck at it. More recently, I came off the old Pitt River Bridge to ride north up the Traboulay PoCo Trail. But I stopped when confronted by a deer and her fawn. I cursed not having my camera with me. Firstly, I didn’t want to scare them away and, secondly, I didn’t want to get kicked in the face. I stopped, put my feet down and rested my arms on the handlebars, then just waited for Mum to decide what she wanted to do. After a few minutes she led her foal by me within a few inches. I’m not sure I would want to share a narrow path with a Mummy Bear and her offspring, but on short rides up Minnekhada I often pass by peaceful bears. You can miss a lot of fun by driving cars.

Thirty years in, hope lives on John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com Record-setting rainfalls didn’t get in the way of across-theboard jumps in both participation and fundraising totals in last weekend’s Terry Fox Run. Port Moody run organizer Keith Vernon said although there was a slight dip in participation, event organizers raised $5,726 — 20-per-cent more than last year. “It went very, very well logistically. The weather didn’t have too big of a bearing.

Leaving out of Blue Mountain Park for the first time ever, the Coquitlam run netted $16,069 and saw 433 people participate. “It was a swampland at the park, so we were so pleased that so many people showed up,” said Coquitlam run organizer Donna Louie. “I’m thrilled. I feel so grateful to have been part of this whole thing in Terry’s name — what an honour.” The Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam featured an estimated crowd of about 1,200 people, and early estimates suggest that run alone raised about $45,000. “Even this morning we had people coming in the door handing in money because they didn’t come out due to the weather, so it’s certainly not a final number,” said Clare Adams, the Terry Fox Foundation’s fundraising and administrative co-ordinator. As for the regional efforts, Adams said more $700,000 was raised between runs in B.C. and the Yukon, representing a 20-per-cent jump over last year. Participant totals were in the range of 22,000 people, a significant jump of more than 40 per cent over one year ago.

This year, the goal is to raise $65,000 to buy a second portable ultrasound machine for the emergency department, which is visited by more than 40,000 patients per year. Emergency room doctors use the portable ultrasound machine to assist patients of all ages in potentially lifethreatening situations. “That’s the big fundraising piece of equipment that we’d like to buy,” said event director Karen Horton. “Anything else over and above that is wonderful. There’s always more need than we can raise, it seems. There’s always a good reason within the hospital.”

Above: Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is situated on both sides of the Danube River. Right: ham hocks and vegetables create a tasty dish for touring cyclists.

Palinka and pork fortify cyclists on Hungarian tour Colleen Friesen travelwriterstales.com

here are no crack-of-dawn starts when you’re travelling with Hungary’s Vinociped’s nine-day wine and bike tour. The name says it all — cycling comes second. Travelling north of Europe’s largest body of freshwater, Lake Balaton, there is no emphasis on speed. However, there are a couple of things you should consider. Let’s start with the two staples of a decent day in Hungary. Naturally, it should involve pork and Palinka. Palinka is a way to fortify yourself before breakfast, lovely for lunch, a great start to dinner and does double duty as a nightcap. Palinka, at 40 to 50 per cent alcohol, is a uniquely Hungarian plum- or apricot-based brandy. To be fair, we weren’t served Palinka at breakfast on this trip. However, we met Hungarians, young and old, who swore it was the only way to start the day. Which brings us to the other Hungarian specialty: pork. As we’d already discovered by spending a few days in Budapest, Hungary is a carnivore’s dream — or an arterial nightmare. There’s nothing like a big plate of sausages served up with a side of ham. You can worry about your heart health when you get home, because while you’re here, your name is Porkahontas. By the fifth day, we’d left behind the beautiful meandering bike path near the lake to head into the Balaton Uplands, where “up” is the operative word. Because there are 20 of us, it takes a while to corral everyone and get things happening, but it’s nice to have a slow start and the breath to be able to idle along and chat. We cruise through villages made up of families with tractors in their driveways, past fields of golden corn and tree-filled gardens stuffed with fat pears and pudgy figs. Women still wear aprons here. One wishes they could convince their Speedowearing, ditch-shovelling husbands to don the odd one, too. And frankly, older gentlemen wearing only Speedos while cycling is a memory I’d like to delete. No. I take that back. It makes me smile to even write it. Riding on quiet roads lined with shimmering poplars, we  CONTINUED ON PAGE 16, see WHERE ELSE CAN YOU FIND?

COQUITLAM EXPRESS ALUMNI

DAVID JONES

Stories by Eddie Gregory

ANDREW LADD

David Jones was a member of the original Coquitlam Express team in 2001-02. That season he would be named the Express unsung hero. In total, Jones would play 3 seasons with the Express, ending after the 2003-04 season where he set then franchise records for assists (60) and points (93). After Jones’ second season with the Express, he was selected in the 9th round of the NHL draft by the Colorado Avalanche, 288th overall. Jones’ selection comes 2 rounds after Coquitlam linemate Brett Hemingway, who was also selected by Colorado in the 7th round, 225th overall.

Andrew Ladd came to the Express for his one and only season in Express colours in 2002-03, where he tallied 55 points. From there he moved to the WHL’s Calgary Hitmen where his star really started to shine. As a major junior rookie, Ladd registered 30 goals and 75 points in 71 games, with those numbers enticing the Carolina Hurricanes to select him 4th overall in the 2004 entry draft. That winter he helped Canada win their ﬁrst of 5 straight world junior championship gold medals on a loaded team that included future Olympic gold medalists Sidney Crosby, Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Brent Seabrook, Mike Richards, Shea Weber and Patrice Bergeron.

From the Express, Jones moved on to Dartmouth University where he would continue his development for 3 seasons. He turned pro prior to the 2007-08 season. He played 45 games and scored 30 points with the Lake Erie Monsters of the AHL, and got the call to the NHL by the Avalanche where he made his NHL debut on Dec. 7 vs. the New York Rangers. He scored his ﬁrst NHL goal on Feb. 11 vs. Atlanta and ﬁnished with a threepoint night. He got off to a very promising start last season when he tallied 10 goals and 16 points in just 23 games, but his year came to an early halt due to a knee injury.

Ladd made his NHL debut with the Hurricanes Nov. 20, 2005 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He scored his first NHL goal five nights later vs. Toronto. Ladd earned his keep that year and stayed on to play 19 games in the playoffs as the ’Canes went on to beat the Edmonton Oilers for the Stanley Cup. He was traded to Chicago in February 2008 for Tuomo Ruutu. This past season, Ladd was again on top of the hockey world as he helped lead the Blackhawks to their first Stanley Cup in 49 years with a 4-2 series win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Ladd had a goal in the final game to clinch the victory. Following a brief celebration, salary cap restrictions forced the Blackhawks to trade the Maple Ridge native to the Atlanta Thrashers.

MILAN LUCIC

BRANDON YIP

Milan Lucic was a mid-season addition to the Coquitlam Express in 2004-05 as a 16 year old looking for a place to play. He had gone undrafted in the WHL bantam draft.

Brandon Yip joined the Coquitlam Express for the 200304 season. He came in and made an immediate impact, scoring 31 goals and 69 points. Those numbers earned him the Express rookie of the year award. That summer, the Colorado Avalanche were calling on the Express again, drafting Yip in the 8th round, 239th overall. The following season, injuries limited Yip to just 43 games but his 62 points were still good enough to lead the Express in scoring. From there, Yip was off to Boston University, where he played his full 4 years with the Terriers. In his freshman season he scored 31 points in 39 games and was chosen the Hockey East Rookie of the Year. He ended his collegiate career in dramatic fashion in 2008-09. Trailing by two goals in the final minute vs. Miami University, the Terriers rallied to tie it and then won the NCAA championship in overtime. He graduated with top honours and a B.S. in Criminal Justice. Yip’s pro debut last season took a detour in training camp when he suffered a broken hand and was out of the action for two months. After a lengthy rehab, Yip only played six AHL games with Lake Erie before getting the call from the Avalanche. He made his NHL debut on Dec. 19, 2009 against Columbus, and three nights later beat Jonas Hiller of the Anaheim Ducks for his first NHL goal. The Maple Ridge native got off to a fast start scoring 11 goals in his first 22 NHL games, but a separated shoulder slowed him down. When the season ended, Yip led all NHL rookies in goals per game average. He finished the season with 11 goals and 19 points in 32 games. He added 4 more points in six playoff games against San Jose. The Avs re-signed Yip to a new two-year deal this past summer.

Lucic was known for his toughness with 100 PIM’s in 50 games with the Express. But his soft hands also allowed him to score 9 goals and 23 points. His efforts were recognized by the WHL’s Vancouver Giants and he was added to their lineup for the playoffs against the Kelowna Rockets just days after the Express season came to an end. In 2005-06, Lucic and the Giants went on to win their first WHL championship with a 4-game sweep of the Moose Jaw Warriors and advance to the Memorial Cup. Again, his hard work was recognized when the Boston Bruins drafted Lucic in the 2nd round, 50th overall. In 2006-07 Lucic saw his goals jump from 9 to 30 and points from 19 to 68. The Giants would again advance to the WHL finals where they lost in the 7th game in overtime to the Medicine Hat Tigers. Still Lucic and the Giants would play in the Memorial Cup as the host team. The Giants would get their revenge in the championship tournament by knocking off the Tigers 3-1 in the final. Lucic was named the Memorial Cup MVP. Lucic surprised many by making the Boston Bruins right out of training camp in the 2007-08 season. He made his NHL debut on Oct. 5th in Dallas. He picked up his first NHL goal and assist four games later Oct. 12 at Los Angeles. Lucic’s hard nose style quickly made him a fan favorite in Beantown, reminding many of a young Cam Neely. An ankle injury limited Lucic to just 50 games last season. He put up 9 goals and 20 points.

NOW COQUITLAM, PORT COQUITLAM, PORT MOODY, ANMORE AND BELCARRA

What to expect this season

This year’s Express promises to be hard hitting and fast to the net, with lots of enthusiasm from the many

young recruits and veterans. Players to watch this season include rookies Destry Straight and Port Moody’s Mitchell Deacon. Straight has gotten off to a quick start, leading the team with 4 assists, while Deacon tallied his ﬁrst goal. Off-season acquisition Massimo Lamacchia is also off to a good start, with 3 goals and 2 assists in 4 games. Returning veterans Garrick Perry and Brad Reid will be turning up the

heat for the Coastal Conference scoring race this season. Both are entering their final year of junior hockey and are expected to secure college scholarships before the end of the season. Perry is wearing the C for the first time since high school, while Reid, Lamacchia and Coquitlam native Riley McIntosh will don the A as assistants. Behind the blueline, first-year junior A netminders Khaleed Devji and Luke Hernandez

will be asked to make the big saves. The Express feel they have a strong team to compete against the top BCHL teams and make some noise in the playoffs. This year in addition to celebrating the return to Coquitlam, the Express are celebrating their 10th season in the BCHL. Fans should watch for special offers throughout the season. For tickets, beat the line up and visit www.coquitlamexpress.ca

Kyle Turris was a highly touted recruit as a 16 year old for the Burnaby Express entering the 2005-06 season, and the New Westminster native didn’t disappoint. He ﬁnished third in team scoring in his rookie year with 36 goals and 36 assists for 72 points in 57 games. Those numbers would earn him BCHL Coastal Conference rookie of the year honours. In the league playoffs that year, Turris added 10 goals and 23 points as the Express went on to win the Fred Page Cup. The playoff run continued, with Turris taking on a prominent role every round. He added another 5 goals and 10 points in

their 4-2 series win over the AJHL Champion Fort McMurray Oil Barons to advance to the Royal Bank Cup. In that national championship, Turris continued to shine as he led all scorers at the tournament with 7 goals and 13 points in 6 games to earn the MVP award. He saved his best for the championship ﬁnal, where he scored 3 times and added an assist as the Express won the Royal Bank Cup National championship with an 8-2 victory over the Yorkton Terriers. The following season all eyes were on Turris as he entered his draft year. The teen didn’t disappoint. He lit up the BCHL for a league-

leading 66 goals, ﬁnishing 2nd overall in the scoring race with 121 points in just 53 games. Turris cracked the 50-goal plateau in just his 39th game. Turris ended up being named the Canadian Junior Player of the Year, and was the No. 1 ranked North American prospect entering the 2007 NHL draft. The Wayne Gretzky-led Phoenix Coyotes selected Turris 3rd overall, the highest draft pick-ever from the BCHL. That fall he played his only season of college hockey with the Wisconsin Badgers. As a university freshman, he put up 36 points in 35 games. At Christmas time, Turris donned the Maple Leaf and helped Canada win gold at the World Junior Championships. After completing his ﬁrst col-

lege season, Turris signed his first NHL contract and played the final 3 games of the 2008-09 season with the Phoenix Coyotes. Turris’ first full professional season saw its ups and downs but still retained his elite prospect label. He played 63 games with limited ice time while battling through injuries. He chipped in 8 goals and 20 points with the Coyotes. Last season, he was sent to San Antonio of the AHL for a year of development, with solid results. Turris had a strong finish to the season and posted 24 goals and 63 points in 76 games. This season, the one-time Express star is aiming for a healthy season and making his way up the Phoenix depth charts.

Give your immune system a boost by eating well

any of us are looking for ways to keep our immune systems strong and healthy. The good news is that many healthy lifestyle habits — such as good nutrition, stress management, regular physical activity and sleep — nourish our bodies and our immunity. These habits have a powerful effect on our ongoing fight against potentially harmful invaders. Our immune system is naturally programmed for health and balance. It is a complex system comprised of bone marrow, thymus gland, spleen and lymph nodes. Essentially, the immune system produces and sends white blood cells (lymphocytes, T cells, B cells and monocytes) throughout our body to fight infectious agents. In this way, it defends our bodies from bacteria, microbes, viruses and toxins that we encounter daily. To stay strong, the immune system needs foods loaded with antioxidants and minerals to increase cell activity that protect against micro-organisms. Research shows that poor nutrition can weaken the ability of the immune system to fight off infectious agents and can cause us to get worn down. The latest research on cancer and heart disease shows that a weakened immunity may even influence the risk of these chronic diseases. It’s been proven that not getting enough vegetables or fruits can weaken the body’s ability to fight infection. We’ve also seen that overconsuming sugar and refined carbohydrates increases blood sugar and insulin levels in our bodies, making us more prone to obesity, inflammation, infections and poor healing. Recently, nutrition studies have shown

that specific nutrition practices — such as a Mediterranean diet, Indian cuisine and Asian foods — may activate and strengthen our immune cells. Eating a healthy diet ensures that your body is in its best fighting shape this winter. A healthy immune system needs to be fed well and cared for. Here are the top seven nutrients that are immunity-boosting. Try to include them in every meal. 1. Vitamin C: found in citrus fruits, strawberries, kiwi, melons, sweet red and green peppers, brussels sprouts and broccoli. A powerful antioxidant that helps the body resist viral infection by strengthening connective tissue. 2. Vitamin D: found in cod-liver oil, salmon, mackerel, eggs, fortified milk and non-dairy beverages. It has recently been shown that a significant supply of vitamin D may keep the immune system strong and reduce risk of several cancers. (Skin cells produce vitamin D when they’re exposed directly to sunlight; Canadians produce less vitamin D and can sometimes be deficient). The Canadian Cancer Association recommends all Canadians take 1,000 I.U. daily during fall and winter months. 3. Vitamin A and beta-carotene: found in dark green, yellow, red and orange fruits and vegetables. These antioxidants assist in fighting colds, flu and lung infections. They help mucus membranes maintain their structural integrity to keep invaders out, and to feed the thymus gland, as well. 4. Zinc: found in red meats, whole grains, legumes, wheat germ, nuts, pumpkin seeds and ginger root. It keeps the thymus healthy for Tcell production, has anti-viral and anti-bacter-

ial activity and aids in wound healing. 5. Selenium: found in tuna, red snapper, Brazil nuts, garlic, kamut, spelt and bran cereals. It stimulates immune cells, particularly natural killer cells, fights viruses and boosts the effects of antioxidant mechanisms on the body. Garlic has a strong antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal activity. 6. Iron: found in meat, the dark meat of poultry, legumes, tofu and fortified cereals. It keeps red blood cells healthy and promotes resistance to infection.

7. Copper: found in mushrooms, peas, lentils and sunflower seeds. It activates the immune system. Japanese mushrooms and oyster mushrooms also contain a molecule called lentinan that significantly boosts immunity. It’s recommended that people eat seven to 10 servings of fruit and vegetables a day to meet daily requirements of vitamin C, A and beta carotene. Eat more veggies and fruits at meals and as snacks. Focus on a low-glycemicindex diet to keep blood sugars in check. — Postmedia Network Inc.

BACK TO CLASS Learning the rules of road: top five tips for teen drivers tions of the GLP and ensure that your teen sticks to them. The newest restriction bans GLP drivers from using cellphones and all electronic devices while driving, including handsfree. Some of the other key restrictions of the novice stage are: • You must always display your green “N” sign on the back of your vehicle when driving. • You cannot drive with any alcohol in your body. • You are limited to one passenger (immediate family exempt) — unless you are driving with a supervisor 25 years or older who has a valid, full driver’s licence.

The weather is cooling off, school is back in and now your teenager wants to hit the road — in your car. In 2009, more than 50,000 teens got their first B.C. driver’s licence. Once your teen has passed a knowledge exam and vision test, they’re permitted to get behind the wheel — with some restrictions. However, driving is especially risky when you lack experience as a new driver. Not only are new drivers more prone to crash, one in four of their crashes result in an injury or fatality. ICBC offers its top five tips to help parents teach teens how to drive smart:

Put it in writing

Set the right example

Driving lessons start much earlier than you may realize — your children will observe your actions and attitude from a very young age. To set a good example, remember that most driving slip-ups result from lapses of attention — stay away from anything that takes your mind from the road whether it’s food, coffee or makeup. And remember, it’s not only dangerous, but it’s now against the law to use a handheld electronic device while driving. When your teen’s in the learner stage, you’ll get a copy of ICBC’s Tuning up for Drivers guide with their licence. Review it with them — it’s a great hands-on guide for new drivers and their supervisors. This is a good time for parents to brush up on the rules of the road and work on any bad habits.

Get in the experts

It’s certainly a good idea to give your teen

Driving can be more risky for new drivers who lack experience behind the wheel. as much driving experience as possible, so consider also giving them the opportunity to take some lessons with a professional driving instructor. Many driving school courses include classroom time and road safety theory. More importantly, a driving school instructor can be objective without the emotion involved in many parent-teen relationships. If you do choose this route, remember to stay involved

and discuss what they’re learning.

Remember the restrictions

B.C.’s graduated licensing program (GLP) has helped lower the crash rate of new drivers by ensuring they gain the driving experience they need in a more controlled, lower-risk environment, and then expanding their privileges as they become safer on the road. As a parent, you should know the restric-

You may want to consider creating a family contract and set of house rules that are in line with the GLP restrictions. Go to www.icbc.com and create your own family contract that sets out your expectations of your teen, the responsibilities you want them to show on the road, and the consequences for breaking those rules. Like any contract, it should be a two-way deal — as a responsible parent, you should agree to drive your teen home if they’ve been drinking to stop them from being tempted to drive impaired.

Gearing up

The type of car your teen learns to drive on can make a big difference. It’s best to learn how to drive on a vehicle that’s a manageable size and has good visibility. Stick to an automatic transmission until  CONTINUED ON PAGE 29, see START.

your teen has mastered the basics. A great way to help build your teen’s confidence is to start out on roads with less traffic and avoid rush hour congestion. As a final bonus tip, if you’re letting your teen drive your car, don’t forget to check that you have the right insurance coverage for that kind of use. If your vehicle is rated in an experienced rate class (all drivers in a household with at least 10 years’ driving experience) then the rate class will need to be changed.

see that school supplies are setting such a good example by taking the lead — reflecting the wishes of the smallest of consumers. “So many children are activists for the cleanest and healthiest planet possible,” says Staples president, Steve Matyas. “So when it comes to an

Score Card

Fox hammers Hyacks in onesided rematch The only chance the New Westminster Hyacks had was on the coin flip. After that, the Terry Fox Ravens ruled. The senior AAA football squad from PoCo proved too much for the rebuilding Hyacks, marching to a resounding 49-0 win before a large homecoming crowd in New West. If last year’s loss to New West in the B.C. quarterfinals was motivation, Fox looked inspired, leading 21-0 after one quarter and 42-0 at the half. “I was a bit surprised at how quickly things went,” Ravens cocoach Martin McDonnell said. “We hadn’t really expected that we’d have to roll out 100 per cent of our players, because of our schedule we weren’t ready to turn over (the roster), but we tried to just get it done.” After fumbling the ball away on their first possession, Fox made up for that error over the next few minutes, beginning by forcing New West to return the favour. On the next play, Matteo Nardone ripped through the Hyack defence on a 78-yard touchdown dash to open the scoring. Jared Soll broke free on a 59-yard scoring run, followed by a Jacob Patko TD. Soll would add his second of the night just 25 seconds into the second quarter, capitalizing on Alex Agnoletto’s fumble recovery. Quarterback Cam Canales found Soll on a 25-yard screen pass to up the ante to 28-0. The ensuing kickoff was botched, putting Canales again within reach — where he found Tanner White on a five-yard toss. The game was put on running time by the 26-minute mark with the score 35-0. “Once the clock starts running the game is pretty much over,” McDonnell noted. “The entire second half was just two possessions each. It’s too bad it wasn’t closer.” Scoring the last majors of the day were Soll and Canales, both on short yardage plays. White finished with four tackles and two fumble recoveries, while Guillaume Leroux, Nardone and Patko racked up three tackles apiece. The Ravens now travel to Kelowna to face the 3-0 Owls, who have outscored their opposition 134-14.

HOME SWEET HOME: The Coquitlam Express will take off the away jerseys and don the home uniforms for the first time on Friday, when they host the Surrey Eagles. Leading the charge will be assistant captains, from left, Brad Reid and Massimo Lamacchia, and captain, at right, Garrick Perry.

Express hit home on winning note Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com You can call it the longest road trip in junior hockey history. It may seem like just four games into the 2010-11 BCHL season, but it’s been more than five years between home games for the Coquitlam Express. That all changes Friday, when the junior A hockey club hits the ice at the refurbished Poirier Sports Centre to play the Surrey Eagles. Since their last home game — March 15, 2005 against the Chilliwack (now Langley) Chiefs — the Express have rode a rollercoaster that included a national RBC championship, and two straight non-playoff seasons. In the meantime, Coquitlam wrapped up a four-game road swing with a 2-1-1 record — not too shabby for a squad that entered the season with more questions than a week’s

worth of Jeopardy. “When we got the schedule I saw those four (road) games and thought it could go either way — we could go 4-0 or come home 0-4,” Express coach Jon Calvano said. “I think to come back 2-1-1 and have the guys getting along, bonding well with no bad apples is really something to build off of.” Coquitlam’s latest jaunt featured stops in Quesnel and Prince George, where disappointment was again trumped by a victory. The club dropped a 3-1 decision to the Millionaires to start the trek, but regrouped for Saturday’s 4-3 triumph over the Spruce Kings. Captain Garrick Perry provided the happy ending with a superb individual effort just five minutes into the final period, rushing the length of the ice and beating both defenders before shovelling the puck past Prince George netminder Kirk Thompson. “It happened pretty fast, but I got a nice pass from Massimo (Lamacchia)

and splitting the defence to hit the top of the net,” Perry recalled. “We were four games into the season and I was feeling the pressure, being in a minislump. It was nice to get that first one.” Calvano said Perry was a force during the trip, and pulled out a Evgeni Malkin-like move to put it home. “Garrick had an outstanding weekend all-around, he was finishing his checks, delivering some hard hits… He took the puck and just exploded down the wall. He dangled that kid three times before finishing it off on the breakaway.” For the first time in the still-young season, the Express pounced out early, outshooting Prince George 11-0 over the first eight minutes. Lamacchia opened the scoring and was followed soon after when Zac Ashdown netted his first of two, putting the Express in a 2-0 lead midway through the first. But the Spruce Kings chipped back, and while Ashdown’s second tally renewed the two-goal margin, the home team

pulled even early in the third. Cue Perry’s dramatic drive. “When we needed a game-winning goal, (Perry) came up with it.” Calvano said. Luke Herandez kicked out 44 shots, including 19 in the third period. It helped dissolve some of the disappointment from the night before, when Coquitlam came out a little flat, fell behind 2-0 and struggled to keep up with the Millionaires. Port Moody’s Mitch Deacon scored the lone marker. Their next challenge will be completely different. The Eagles entered the week on an impressive 4-0 run after losing their first game of the season. Sparked by the line of Richard Vanderhoek, Bradley McGowan and Jeff Vanderlugt, who sit atop the league’s scoring chart, Surrey has posted four straight road wins.

Bellies stall, fall in final to Lakers Alfie Lau editorial@thenownews.com Lucky number 13 for the Peterborough Lakers came at the expense of the unlucky New Westminster Salmonbellies. The Lakers capped off their 13th Mann Cup victory on Friday with a 15-9 win in Game 6 over the Royal City squad that has now lost three straight Mann Cup finals. “It’s harder each time you lose,” Salmonbellies general manager Dan Richardson said on Saturday afternoon. “The expectations are higher each time, so it’s harder when you don’t meet those expectations.” The ‘Bellies got the start they were looking for, scoring the first two goals by 4:10 of the first, on markers from Jamie Floris and Pete McFetridge. But the high-powered Lakers scrambled back to a 4-4 tie after the first period on the strength of a hat trick from Scott Evans and a goal and two assists from all-time Mann Cup scoring leader John Tavares. “We felt very good after the first period,” said Richardson. “We got the start we were looking for.” After the teams played a tight second period, marked by Evans’ fourth goal, the game turned in the final five seconds of the period when ’Bellie Kyle Ross punched an unsuspecting Evans in the back of the head and was handed a five-minute roughing major. The Lakers were holding an 8-6 lead at the time but opened the third period with two power-play markers, with Evans’ younger brother Shawn scoring at 2:22 of the third, followed by Scott at 4:06. “The Ross punch was something we didn’t need to do,” admitted Richardson. “Our PK (penalty killing) was doing a good job until

that point but those Evans boys, they were dialled in.” Scott Evans would finish with six goals and two assists on the night while Shawn walked away with the MVP award following his one goal, six-assist effort. Shawn finished the six-game Mann Cup series with 32 assists, breaking one-time Adanac Josh Sanderson’s 2002 mark (set with Brampton) of 26 helpers in seven games. The Lakers also got an eight-point performance in Game 6 from John Grant, who finished with a hat trick and five assists. Richardson, fully aware that a Western team hasn’t ventured to Ontario and won a Mann Cup since New Westminster did it in 1986, said his squad played well, but didn’t get any Lady Luck. “We didn’t get too many bounces,” he said. “I’m talking about not getting breaks on face-offs, not getting the right bounce at the right time, just not getting breaks.” The ’Bellies were led offensively by Alex Gajic, who finished with a goal and three assists, Floris and Cliff Smith with two goals and an assist each, and Jordan McBride, who had a goal and a pair of assists. The ’Bellies were buoyed by the first appearance of rookie Corbyn Tao, who missed the first five games because of school conflicts. Tao is one of the club’s Coquitlam connections, which also includes netminder Tyler Richards and transition player Sean Robinson. The PoCo Saint alumni who play for New West are Tyler Crompton, Martin Cummings and Tyler Richardson. Peterborough features ex-senior Adanacs Tracey Kelusky and Grant. As for looking ahead to the future, Richardson said the future remains bright because youth is on their side. “Their (Peterborough’s) average age is 28 and ours was 25, so we’re a young team,”

FROWNING FISH: For the third straight year, the WLA champion New Westminster Salmonbellies were edged out in the Mann Cup final by their eastern rivals. Looking exhausted and beat are, from left, Cliff Smith, Coquitlam native Tyler Richards, PoCo product Tyler Crompton, Peter McFetridge, and Wade Dewolff. he noted. “I firmly believe that when we win our first Mann Cup, we will win many more after that and we will soon forget about the three we lost.” As for what changes the organization will need to make in 2011, Richardson said it’s too early for that conversation. “We will get together and we will talk to our players and see what we need to do,” said Richardson. “We’re not afraid to make changes, but today (Saturday) is too soon to think about that. We fly back home Sunday and we’ll start thinking about next year after that. “Next year, we intend to be hosting the Mann Cup and hopefully, we’ll get another chance at Peterborough,” he said.

Junior Ravens spun around by Jugglers Up against the formidable Notre Dame Jugglers, the Terry Fox junior Ravens put in a valiant attempt but eventually fell 28-14 in the season opener. It held a lot of promise, as demonstrated on the first possession. Fox marched down field, led by Marko Bevanda’s six carries for 56 yards, only to fumble it away in the red zone. Notre Dame also put together a long, but ultimately frustrating drive to end the first half tied. Then the Jugglers got their act together, scoring two quick touchdowns before Nick Agnoletto returned a kickoff 73 yards to put the Ravens on the scoreboard. After Justin Jack nailed the convert, Fox entered halftime within striking distance 12-7. In the second half, however, Notre Dame cashed in on a turnover and looked to be in good shape again when Bevanda baubled the ball, only to recover it in what proved to be the

Ravens’ last offensive march. Bevanda would eventually punch the ball into the end zone for their final major. The running back finished with 101 yards on 17 carries, while Mate McLeod-Genest totalled 31 yards on six runs. Grade 9 quarterback Jake Bye completed two of five pass attempts. On defence, Kyle Deugau and McLeodGenest collected eight tackles apiece, while Brett Boyce chipped in with five. Jason Shamatutu cashed in three tackles, while Baltej Dhanaya and Brad Lyons finished with a pair each. “I’m happy with how we played,” head coach Carey Lapa said. “The kids were supportive of each other and there were lots of parents there… Nick Agnoletto did a great job taking the kick to the house and there was a lot of good blocking on the play.” Terry Fox visits Handsworth today in North Vancouver.

Rapids prove too hot to stop In the first major test of the high school volleyball season, the Riverside Rapids rose to the head of the class. The senior boys squad steamrolled through eight straight matches en route to the Douglas College Invitational championship final, where Riverside made short work of Vancouver Tech 2-0 (25-15, 25-12). Spearheaded by the on-court leadership of setter Liam Brett and power Victor Zych, the Rapids pushed past a handful of tough opponents on the road to the final matchup. They swept Maple Ridge and Eric Hamber 2-0 in round robin action, then hung on to beat Burnaby North 2-0 (25-18, 26-24) in power pool play. Riverside opened the playoffs with back-to-back 2-0 victories over J.N. Burnett and David Thompson to draw cross-district rival Dr. Charles Best in the quarterfinal. It required some work, but they prevailed again 2-0 (25-20, 25-18) to face Hamber again in what proved to be their toughest test of the tourney. Hamber won the first set 22-25, but the Rapids rallied to move on with wins of 25-15 and 15-8. Brett and Zych were named as tourney all-stars, while major contributions also came from Hans Seo, Tyler Toscani and Brendan Williams. Providing strong support were Chris Aiskhalaye, Spenser Andres and Chris Shamatutu. Suavita Constanza/Contributed

It’s all about the execution in the end.” A day later, Coquitlam hosts Merritt on Saturday, before heading to Surrey on Sunday. The two rivals will square off seven times over the next 34 days.

Take Your Career in a New Direction Many employees eventually find themselves at the proverbial fork in the road, deciding if they should stay the course with their current position or branch out in a new direction. Studies show that the average job-seeker changes careers (not jobs) several times — three to five on average — over the course of his or her lifetime. But what leads to this migration to a new career? And how do you know if the reasons for a career change are justified? Downsizing, lost interest and limited options for advancement are some of the reasons people decide to make a career change. Others simply find that after years of doing a certain type of work, they just want to try something new or realize that the type of skills they possess just aren’t the fit for the career they currently hold. Before making any career changes, it’s important to go slowly. Assess whether the reason for your change is warranted or just a knee-jerk reaction to something that happened at work, such as a reprimand from a supervisor or a lousy work week. GOOD REASONS FOR A CHANGE • Your job no longer fits your lifestyle: You are different now than when you first started your career. You may have been single then and now you have a spouse and children. Spending evenings shmoozing clients may no longer hold the same level of attraction as it once did. • Your career field prospects have declined: Due to changes in technology, the economy or the industry you work in, job opportunities could fluctuate. So some workers, particularly tradespeople, may find that their specific jobs are becoming extinct.

• Burnout is more than a passing problem: Sure, everyone experiences those days when they’d rather roll over in bed than make the trek to work. However, if you simply cannot stand the idea of going to your job anymore it may be time for a change. People who have careers that are inherently stressful (law enforcement, stock broker, attorney), may find that burnout affects their outlook and physical health. Work is a bore: If you are no longer feeling challenged and new responsibilities in your current career don’t provide the stimulation you need, a new career may. Better salary: Most people do not list salary as the No. 1 reason for leaving a career, but it could be a major factor. NEW HORIZONS Now that you’ve identified why it is time to move on, follow some key strategies for making a smooth transition into a new career. 1. Make a list of likes and dislikes: Did you get into your current career because you needed money right away or you had no other options at the time? Don’t feel bad; many people assume careers out of necessity rather than a genuine interest in that field. Now’s your time to jot down what you really like to do. What are your hobbies? How do you like to spend your time? It’s easy to focus on what you don’t like to do, but assessing what you enjoy can put you on the path to a career that may be better suited. There are even career assessment tests and services that can help you if you truly are unsure. Continued on following page FOODSAFE 1 DAY COURSES Guaranteed best value!
