ennifer Wolfe is used to seeing the odd coyote here and there during her daily walks with her Labrador retriever. But the Coquitlam resident, who walks by Robinson Memorial Park Cemetery most days, couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw a pack of coyotes she described as “aggressive.” “They’ve been spending a lot of time in the cemetery in the last three weeks or so,” she said. “I walk through there — well, I have until recently — pretty much every day and I’ve started seeing them quite regularly.” Two weeks ago, she noticed one coyote stalking her and her dog. Then on a weekend walk, she saw the canines congregating. “I was walking by the front and there was three of them in the centre area of the cemetery at 10 o’clock in the morning, and they were yipping and howling away,” Wolfe said.

Business group asks for tax cut John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com Appearing before Coquitlam city council just as budget talks begin to heat up, Brian Bonney made his case Monday for a change to the tax system. As the B.C. director of provincial affairs for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), Bonney listed off a series of stats and trends from Coquitlam-based small business

owners, in an effort to make a case for reduced business tax rates. “We ask that you look at implementing policies, not quickly, but over a long period of time, to slowly bring the rate of taxation on businesses back to where they pay no more than double what residents pay,” he said. The majority of Bonney’s presentation was set against the backdrop of a study released by the CFIB in June that suggests the gap between Coquitlam’s business and property

taxes is the highest among B.C.’s 30 largest municipalities. Coquitlam’s tax disparity — 4.98:1 — translates into city-based businesses paying almost five times more in taxes than residential owners for a property worth the same value. Using 2009 figures that suggest the average Coquitlam property was valued at $597,000, Bonney illustrated just how wide that disparity is. “If you look at that property and you are a resident, you would have

The trees originally drew us to the site. It’s Western Canada’s first arboretum. It was started by the first botanist hired by the province,” Golds said. “It’s also a really good example of the English country estate style of landscaping with grand building design nicely framed by surrounding trees.

Supreme Court in New Westminster for a five-day trial. According to the registry, however, Kingsbury’s defence counsel appeared before the courts on Oct. 1 to apply for an adjournment, which was granted. The trial is now scheduled to begin on Feb. 14, 2011. Kingsbury is facing four charges: theft

over $5,000, personation with intent to gain advantage, causing a person to use a forged document and fraud over $5,000. 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. The charges arose out of Langley, where a trailer was taken to Travelhome RV Marketplace for warranty repairs.

Police have alleged Kingsbury showed up to claim the 27-foot recreational trailer on Aug. 14, 2008, posing as a former business associate to drive the trailer away. He was arrested on Oct. 9, 2008. Kingsbury, however, has maintained he owned the trailer as part of a business deal. Three days have now been set aside for the trial, and a pre-trial conference is set for Jan. 10, 2011.

Opinion

Driving is a privilege

Re: “Traffic ticket? Go to court,” letter to the editor, Wednesday, Oct. 13. The basic question is, did Mr. Fothergill’s son drive with more than one person in his vehicle while he was a new driver? If the answer is yes, as I suspect it is given that the police officer gave him a ticket for it, then his son was clearly in violation of his restrictions. Did he not read the restrictions on his To The licence? They are clearly printed on the back. What Mr. Fothergill has done in going to court to defend his son over his traffic ticket is to teach his son (and other young people who read his letter) that he does not have to take responsibility for his actions.

As parents, we must set a good example for our children. Mr. Fothergill seems to have missed that important message. It is people like Mr. Fothergill fighting the system that causes the backlogs in the system, which means that cases take over a year to come to court. Just think of how quickly the court date could have come if even 50 per cent of the people like Mr. Fothergill and his Editor son took responsibility for their actions and let legitimate cases come before the court. Let us all remember, driving is a privilege, not a right. Monique Sever Coquitlam

Our View

Is this a real loss, or part of a trend?

anada came third last week in a threeway race for two seats on the United Nations Security Council. It’s a bit of a black eye. We were due for one of those seats. It’s the first time since the United Nations came into being that Canada will have gone an entire decade without a place at that august table. For many, Canada’s failure will be seen as that: a failure. It will be seen as a devastating defeat for a country that has played a disproportionately large role on the world stage, through the UN and as an individual player in global affairs. This is the country that, through the efforts of Lester Pearson’s diplomacy and promotion of the concept of international peacekeeping, used the United Nations to dismantle the near-calamitous Suez Canal crisis in 1956. The diversion from what many feared was developing into a third world war boosted the United Nations’ international credibility by proving that such a body — and especially its Security Council — could have a real and positive impact on the management of international affairs. But 1956 was a long time ago. Canada has backed away from its peace-centred diplomacy, tied financial help to ideology that ignores the facts of human suffering and digs deeper into its tar sands to fuel global warming. Is it really any wonder that Canada could not muster the votes needed to secure that Security Council seat — votes from the nations we’ve cold-shouldered over the past few years? On the other hand, the entire United Nations organization has been losing credibility of late, thanks to indifferent attitudes like Canada’s, so it’s likely that our own country’s recent rejection will hardly be noticed over time.

her attempt to modernize the party, expand its support and push it more toward the political middle, away from the left and organized labour (think Tony Blair in Britain). For some of these people, their rigid ideology will never allow them to embrace James’s non-ideological approach. They would rather lose an election than compromise their ideological positions. Meanwhile, James’s troubles have given Premier Gordon Campbell and his government a brief respite from the pounding they’ve been getting over various issues, notably the HST. But Campbell must face his own leadership vote at the party convention next month, and it is by no means a sure thing that he’ll score a high number. However, unlike the New Democrats, the Liberals are sticking together. Other than Blair Lekstrom quitting the caucus back in June over the HST, there has been no sign of public discontent from the caucus ranks. The two parties’ marked difference when it comes to dealing with problems with leadership brings to mind that famous line from the Godfather movies: “It’s not personal. It’s just business.” That would seem to be the Liberal motto as they begin to deal with the leadership question. But the NDP seem to have turned that line around. For them, the attacks on James show their motto is: “It’s not business. It’s just personal.” Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Where’s the P3? Evergreen Line “funding?” Oh please. Why not let a private company or companies get a concession to build and operate the Evergreen Line? They take the risks, provide the capital and, lo and behold, the consumer and business pay — with no tax increase and no whining from politicians about who has to take the political hit for payment. At this rate, the line will not get built at all because politicians are afraid to think outside the box and let a for-profit firm provide a service people are screaming for. I guess we deserve the government we get: expensive and no service. David Mutka Coquitlam

ICBC funds for Evergreen? In the last months there have been numerous conversations about TransLink funding for the Evergreen Line and other projects, with numerous suggestions for funding these projects. Property taxes, road and vehicle levies, carbon tax, etc. all come to mind, but absolutely no mention about the $780 million the province will take from ICBC over three years. In my mind, the people have and will continue to pay for any improvements through auto insurance. Why the politicians and media are not raising this as a fund source is very puzzling to me. The two-per-cent decrease in premiums recently announced by ICBC should have been closer to 10 per cent, but would eliminate the private carriers from being competitive, a situation the provincial government would not allow. Elected politicians from all levels, where are you? Arlene Crowe Port Coquitlam

Liberals blew P3 plan Re: “Mayors unite against tax hike,” Friday, Oct. 15. Shirley Bond, B.C. transportation minister, who is clearly just a BC Liberal government puppet, is now declaring that the Metro Vancouver mayors were sadly misled by her own declarations that the Evergreen Line would be subsidized by a third party’s participation in the costs of the development of the Evergreen project. It is painfully obvious that once the provincial government realized they could not find a partner (a P3 partner) to absorb the costs of TransLink’s shortfall to rescue its declarations that the Evergreen Line was on track and about to be built without forcing the taxpayer to relinquish further property To The taxes, the Liberals embarked on their usual approach of ramming more property tax requirements down the throats of those that have been waiting for over 18 years to see this project realized. I am grateful that at least the Metro Vancouver majors are stepping up and denouncing this latest sneaky move by Bond and the BC Liberal government to declare that more property taxes to pay for the Evergreen Line has always been the only option. Clearly, now that they have failed to procure a third party to subsidize TransLink’s incompetence to provide funds, they now invoke their usual course of action by imposing more property taxes. What an outrage to the hardworking taxpayer. This has clearly been a smoke-and-mirrors exercise by the BC Liberal government pretending that it is committed to delivering the Evergreen Line to a well-deserving community. The BC Liberals have clearly shown no political will to accomplish what the taxpayers have

been requesting for over 18 years. Perhaps the Tri-Cities, the City of Burnaby and the Fraser Valley region have to wait for another international party like the Olympics before they can expect the Evergreen Line to be built. Shirley Bond, don’t insult our intelligence by suggesting that increased property taxes were always the only way to pay for the Evergreen Line. The Metro Vancouver mayors have always committed to their communities and have made it clear that they will not take advantage of the taxpayer as you and Gordon Campbell are demanding. C.

Green waste program is easy

To my Coquitlam neighbours: I have been watching around the neighbourhood and on my drive in to work for the last couple of garbage days and don’t see very many people with “green cans” in front of their homes. I am wondering why this is and I somehow suspect it isn’t because you all have composters in your backyards. I was so jealous when Port Moody rolled their green can program out before Coquitlam did — but am now wondering how well it has cau=ght on in that municipality. Our family has set up an excellent system for collecting our green waste. I went down to Value Village and bought a stainless steel pot for $8.99 (because the green waste keeps better in a stainless container). We put our green waste in there and every day it gets emptied into a chunk of newspaper that gets tied with a piece of string and put out into the garage in the designated green can, which has a couple of pieces of newspaper lining the bottom of it. We are two weeks in and there has been no

mess or any additional stink to what our regular garbage would have been. Our only other garbage has been one small bag each week. I have spoken to a few people and I get the impression that they think it is a real hassle to be a part of this program and that their time is too valuable or perhaps they aren’t interested or motivated to reorganize themselves, for whatever reason. I feel overwhelmed when I listen to all the media coverage on greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. I think that this is something we can all easily take part in that will reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, because that is what your garbage turns into. Eventually, it will apparently be a mandatory program, or I sure hope it will, but I wonder what your children will think years from now when they find out how you resisted this tiny change which maybe would assist your grandchildren’s survival on this planet of ours.

71 per cent give cash donations to non profits; 60 per cent give in-kind donations and 22 per cent allow their staff to volunteer with nonprofits during work time. However, if business tax rates don’t start to decline, Bonney said, those charitable endeavours could start to dry up. He also said high business tax rates could lead to reduced staff hours, the cancellation of expansion plans and increased prices on equipment and services. “It’s important to remember that small business owners are also residents. They don’t want to see their taxes going up as well. We’re not advocating that you increase residential taxes to decrease business taxes. What we’re advocating is that it took us 20 years to get here … so why not take 20 years to correct the problem?” Coun. Brent Asmundson said the city is in the process of incrementally trying to close the

business-residential gap through shifting the tax burden, and that measures like consolidating the city’s industrial zones should help. While some regulations or red tape may be seen as harmful to business, he added, they may be useful to other segments of the population. “Maybe business doesn’t like it, but maybe the consumer and the public need that protection or regulation in there. It’s a double-edged sword … there’s always going to be a reason why that regulation is there.” Acting mayor Barrie Lynch added that the city is in the process of establishing an internal committee to cut red tape, and that Wayne Beggs, the city’s economic development manager, is looking at ways to retain and attract businesses. “As a city, we are very cognizant of the fact that small- and medium-sized businesses are an economic generator for us,” Lynch said.

And if they want that there, it’s going to be in there.” Council members were also quick to point out that the RGS is far from being close to its final state, and that other municipalities are grappling with similar land use issues. “You can imagine that if we’re having this much trouble, how much trouble everyone else is having. We don’t want a super government that tells us what to do,” said Reid, who also chairs the city’s land use committee.

Documentary portrays life at Essondale

documentary offering a rare glimpse into a Coquitlam asylum premieres at Douglas College’s Tri-Cities campus on Monday, Oct. 25. Bedlam, a 12.5-minute film about Coquitlam’s Essondale — now known as Riverview Hospital — tells the story of Kay Clayton, a health-care worker who, at the age of 16, came on as summer relief staff to work in the women’s ward in 1945. The documentary was produced by Douglas College criminology instructor Heidi Currie and produced and directed by independent filmmaker lisa g. “It’s a fascinating look on so many levels at institutional care of the past,” Currie says. “It’s power dynamics — of the caregiver in relation to the patient. It’s pre-medication asylum care.

There’s a real din, the institution is loud and crowded and it’s controlled environmentally; it’s not controlled by medication the way it is now.” Clayton returned to work in the hospital again in 1973 until her retirement from asylum care in 1988. “The advent of effective psychiatric medications made for considerable advances in patient care with a marked increase in patient liberty,” Currie says. “But then, the government introduced the idea of de-institutionalization.” Bedlam combines never-before-seen archival film and photography with present-day Super 8 footage of the asylum at Essondale.

“We were able to incorporate archival film from the Riverview Hospital Historical Society from the ’30s,” Currie says. “It’s a unique academic contribution to documenting the topic.” Bedlam premieres from 5:30 to 8 p.m. in the lecture theatre (A1470) at the college’s David Lam campus in Coquitlam. Currie and lisa g will be in attendance, along with Kathleen (Kay) Clayton Grootendorst and Anna Tremere, founder of the Riverview Hospital Historical Society. There will also be a display of artifacts and archival photos courtesy of the Riverview Hospital Historical Society. Bedlam is Part 2 of the Riverview Hospital Story Project. See part 1, Asylum, at http://citizenshift.org/asylum.

Colourful foliage and history abound in Kingston, Ontario

ich golds, deep ochres, vivid reds — the city of Kingston, Ont. is cloaked in a mantle of glory, and from Fort Henry it looks just like a pointillist painting. Although autumn is the perfect time of year to see its fabulous foliage, we also get a glimpse of the city’s true colours: the year-round ones that extend much deeper than its well-rooted trees. Whether you check them out on a guided walk, a trolley tour or, like us, from a rental car, you’ll be dazzled by this city’s kaleidoscope of history and culture. Adjacent to our pivotal point is one of the city’s most popular attractions. Following the War of 1812, there was major fear that neighbouring Henry Point and the Royal Navy Dockyards would be attacked. Without access to the St. Lawrence River, Kingston would have been cut off from eastern Canada. Fort Henry came to the rescue. From this elevated bluff, it could protect all three of the city’s waterways: the Rideau Canal, St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario. And after dolling out 88,000 pounds of sterling, (50 million dollars if it was today’s undertaking) it was ready for royal battle. But that day never came. In the end, harmony ruled and there wasn’t a fight to be fought. Military is big business in this lakeside city, and there’s good reason for it. Skirting the shoreline across from the fort is the prestigious Royal Military College of Canada. In June 1876, 18 cadets were the first to be inaugurated into these hallowed halls. To this day, acceptance is challenging. But the price is right. For those willing to commit to five service years afterwards, this quality education is a freebie. Queen’s University is another learning institution that Kingston is mighty proud of. Flourishing maples canopy the Romanesque revival edifices that hug up along Union Street. Yes, the tuition is a tad steeper than at the Royal Military College of Canada, but its reputation has been

museums, this one wins my vote. History and culture abound beyond these archives and meld with modern-day comforts. Our chic Radisson retreat and other skyscrapers rise in juxtaposition to limestone-hewn homes. Trendy boutiques that rim Princess Street compete with Canada’s longest continually running open-air market. And beyond Confederation Park, where the city’s roots were initially planted, is the St. Lawrence River and waterway of the famed 1,000 Islands. For a grand finale, we board

revered since classes began in March 1842. Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister, had a keen interest in seeing this university prosper. Though he never attended, he lived in Bellevue House, an Italian villa-like beauty just a few blocks away. We wander through this home’s palatial rooms and chat with a costumed guide who claims to be a maid from the 1840s. “She’s one well-preserved servant,” my husband Brent jests, after hearing the inside scoop. In spite of appearances, life was not always easy for Sir John. He lost his wife to polio, a son to sudden infant death syndrome and plenty of income on medical bills. “It’s no wonder he turned to the bottle,” I say, when learning about his challenges with alcohol. In spite of his struggles, we discover this founding father was still held in high regard. His portrait dominates a wall in City Hall, his spirit lingers in a dozen or so other homesteads and he poises, immortalized in bronze, at the entrance to City Park, a Parliament Hill wouldhave-been, had the capital not headed east to Montreal and eventually to Ottawa in 1844. Penitentiaries are just about as prominent here as politicians. From 1930 to 2000, the Prison for Women housed the country’s most infamous females and, to this day, Kingston Pen (aka Alcatraz of the North) is a hangout for the most notorious males, including Paul Bernardo. Thick limestone walls topped with barbed wire keeps them in and us out, and just beyond is a heritage home where the facts are shared. Out of Kingston’s 17

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO DOMESTIC BLISS IN THE TRI-CITIES }

Take T a seat in design comfort Whether you want to update your living space or start from scratch, make sure to have fun but don’t forget about function.

Hunter recommend starting with the largest piece of furniture when looking to change things up. In most cases that’s going to be the couch, which is also usually the most expensive piece. Both advocate playing it a bit safer when it comes to the fabric and colour of the couch. Sticking with a neutral tone in a more durable fabric will give the piece a longer lifespan.

When you’re looking to outfit a living or family room, it’s important to ask yourself a couple of questions: How is the room going to be used and how many people do you want to be able to accommodate.

“You want it to be long lasting,” Gallop says. “That makes more sense with the bigger piece.”

“A lot of it is determined by function,” says Lower Mainland interior designer Sarah Gallop. People with kids and pets will want to choose furniture for its durability; those with a larger family or who entertain frequently will want to ensure there’s plenty of seating. “Think about you live and how you’re going to use it,” Gallop says.

Focal points in a room help with seating arrangement PHOTO COURTESY SARAH GALLOP DESIGN INC.

QUALITY

It also makes the most sense to start with the couch when deciding the layout of furniture in the room. Hunter recommends finding, or creating, a focal point in the room. That could be an architectural point, such as a fireplace or a window with a fabulous view, or one that you can create and move, such as a TV or a piece of art.

There are a number of options out there that can pull double duty for those looking to maximize seating options. Benches or ottomans can serve as a table or a place to sit when entertaining.

The couch, she says, should be placed facing the focal point. From there, the other pieces - a loveseat, chairs or other seating elements - should be placed along diagonal lines throughout the room.

Both Gallop and redesigner Eleanor

room,” Hunter says. “Have fun with it ... don’t stay in a rut. Just try moving a couple things and that usually creates a domino effect.” She does, however, warn people to stay away from putting a couch in front of a window as it tends to block natural light. For those on a tight budget, you don’t have to shy away from change. Sometimes even just moving the furniture around can make a big difference. Adding new accent pieces, such as chairs, throws or cushions, can also make a big difference in a room. Gallop recommends considering reupholstering an existing couch or chair if it has “good bones.” A new slipcover or fabric and stuffing can give an aging yet good quality piece a new lease on life. Whatever you choose, in the end it comes down comfort. “If things are comfortable and inviting, people are going to use it,” Gallop says. BY JESSICA KERR

PUTTING DOWN THE PACE: Dr. Charles Best’s Erina Cho, left, and Picabo Reeves, centre, make quick tracks at last week’s Coquitlam District Cross Country championships. Cho topped the Grade 11 girls division, while Reeves crossed the finish line first among Gr. 10 girls.

Heritage Woods tops district cross country run Members of the Heritage Woods Kodiaks cross-country team rose to the top of the heap last Wednesday, capturing the John Taylor Award at the district cross country championships. The Taylor Award is presented to the team with the best aggregate total among all runners. Highlighting the Kodiaks’ win was a sweep in Grade 12 boys, where Zachary Nunn, Benjamin Vovko and Tristan Howarth set the pace on a 5.9 km course at Mundy Park. Nunn crossed the finish line in a time of 22:09 minutes, five seconds ahead of Vovko. Coming a close third was Howarth. It was a three-school race in Gr. 12 girls, where Terry Fox’s Kirsten Lee claimed top spot, finishing the 4.7 km course in 19:16 minutes, 1:17 faster than Port Moody’s Jenny Glemius. Here are other top 10 results from the meet: Grade 12 boys – 1st, Zachary Nunn, HWoods (22:09); 2nd, Benjamin

Punishers win battle of PoCo The Port Coquitlam Punishers lived up to their name, rolling to an 8-6 victory over their bantam C house rival last week in minor hockey action. In their season opener, the Punishers were primed and ready. Jacob Taylor recorded a natural hat trick in the first period, as the Punishers took an early lead and fended off the opposition’s rally attempts. Chipping in with two apiece were Austin Campbell and Kody Sherwood, while Daniel Bae added a single. Collecting a pair of assists was Jordan Palk. Adding helpers were Spencer Murray and Chace Vader. Goalie Jacob Lazare stood his ground and protected the lead with a couple of sharp saves.
