Volunteers ready to transform more lives Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com Last year, more than 200 volunteers worked together to transform single mom Chantal Beaudoin’s home during a 12-day makeover. They made the Port Moody bungalow wheelchair accessible by widening doorways, adding ramps and building a new master bedroom and bathroom. “I screamed when I saw it,” Beaudoin said at the time. “There were probably 500 people here. I was going around hugging everybody, saying thank you so much. The first moment, it wasn’t about the house. It was about all the people that had been involved. It was like a magic miracle.” For their efforts, the Home Team won the City of Port Moody’s 2010 Peter Hulbert Accessibility Award, which recognizes groups that remove barriers for people with disabilities. Now, the team is seeking nominations for its 2011 home repair project. Operated through the Cornerstone Seventh Day Adventist Church, the non-profit community outreach program provides a free home makeover for a local family in need. The project is open to any TriCities family with a home that needs an overhaul. These families might be facing health problems, financial hardships, unforeseen accidents or any other ongoing struggles. Volunteers will complete the repair work, with most materials donated by local businesses. Nominations can be submitted online at www. cornerstonehometeam.org. The deadline is March 5, and renovations will take place in September.

A small memorial to a one-year-old boy who died at an unlicensed daycare on Shaughnessy Street in Coquitlam sits in the facility’s driveway.

Boy’s death at daycare investigated Simone Blais sblais@thenownews.com

Questions abound over what happened at a Coquitlam daycare where a one-year-old boy died suddenly Monday. Coquitlam RCMP were called at 11:40 a.m. to a home-based daycare in River Springs, and the unlicensed childcare facility has since been closed for the investigation. A police cruiser remained parked outside a home in the 1300 block of Shaughnessy Street as late as Thursday. The boy’s death is automatically considered suspicious, according to RCMP Const. Kristina Biro. “The death of an infant is tragic and very serious,” she said. “Police only get one chance to conduct an investigation, so we treat everything as suspicious until we have reason not to. “We’re conducting a thorough investigation.” The B.C. Coroners Service was also called to

investigate, and an autopsy has been performed. Biro said police do not have the results of the autopsy and do not know when to anticipate the results. Integrated Homicide Investigation Team members, however, are not among those looking into the case. Biro would not say whether charges are being considered. “It’s very early in the investigation, and I’m not going to speculate outcomes,” she said. Apart from those details, Mounties remain mum. “We understand that this incident is going to raise a lot of fears for parents and a lot of questions from the public,” Biro said Thursday. “I spoke to the investigators this morning and they said no other information would be released in the next couple of days. There’s no other details to be discussed at this time.” RCMP investigators would not reveal the name of the facility, and stated that police are not investigating any other complaints related to the daycare. A search of daycares in the 1300 block of

Shaughnessy Street, however, yielded one hit: Rattle-N-Roll Daycare, a family facility run by Maria McFarren. Fraser Health spokesperson Joan Marshall said Rattle-N-Roll does not have a licence to offer childcare. However, it may not be in contravention of provincial law. Daycares are required to be licensed when they have more than two children who are not blood relatives of the person overseeing childcare. If they have two or less such children, no licence is required. Operators must also have a business licence from their home municipality in order to obtain the childcare licence. Dan McDonald, Coquitlam’s communications manager, said City Hall records indicate Rattle-NRoll does not have a business licence. “There was an application made as far back as  CONTINUED ON PAGE 4, see FRASER HEALTH.

Bedbugs take a bite out of Coquitlam Website lists areas near Austin and Brunette avenues among regional hot spots John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com

user-driven website that tracks bedbug infestations points to southwest Coquitlam as the hardest hit area in the Tri-Cities, though the number of local infestations pales in comparison to those reported in other areas of Metro Vancouver. The website, www.bedbugregistry. com, allows users to log incidences of bedbug infestations complete with the city and address, and a series of maps showing the hardest hit areas in Metro Vancouver was published earlier this week on the Vancouver Sun’s website. Almost all of the Tri-Cities listings on the site point to Maillardville and other portions of southwest Coquitlam, and most of the data logged infestations found between 2008 and 2010. One infestation was reported in early 2010 in Port Moody, while none have been flagged in Port Coquitlam. In Coquitlam, the areas near Austin and Brunette avenues have apparently been affected the most, while Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and NOW file photos West End neighbourhoods rank as the Brett Johnston, general manager of Coquitlam’s Canadian Pest Control Ltd., says most bed-bug infestations hardest hit in Metro Vancouver. happen in multifamily housing.

“Before any business licence is issued, we then refer that file to Fraser Health for their knowledge,” he explained. “They need to approve it before we will ever approve a business licence to operate that. “The city has two fail-safes to protect the citizens. We will inspect the building, but will not issue a licence for that activity until Fraser Health has cleared it.”

Farnworth sides with party over memberships John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com After four days of intense membership scrutiny, it appeared to be business as usual in the Mike Farnworth camp Thursday. A flurry of accusations over an alleged illegal membership drive on the part of NDP MLA Adrian Dix led to Farnworth and fellow NDP MLA Harry Lali filing complaints with party headquarters. The two camps alleged that Dix had signed up hundreds of new members without having them pay their dues before Monday’s deadline. On Wednesday, the party’s provincial secretary issued a statement ruling out any wrongdoing on Dix’s part. “Each membership we receive is individually processed and scrutinized to

Liquor store study controversial jkurucz@thenownews.com A recent study linking the number of alcohol-related deaths and illnesses to the proliferation of privately run liquor stores has those in the labour movement calling on the province for answers. Released Tuesday, the University of Victoria study tracked a period between 2003 and 2008, a time when the amount of private liquor stores shot up by 40 per cent compared to a 10-per-cent drop in government liquor stores. The study points to a 27.5per-cent increase in alcohol-related deaths for every private liquor store per 1,000 B.C. residents. “There’s no doubt about it — it’s a concern,” said Darryl Walker, president of the B.C. Government Employees’ Union (BCGEU). “And when you look at in terms of the increase in fatalities, and even simply injuries or other kinds of pain and suffering, it really is astounding. What we’ve done for some time now is ask the government to review the direction that they’re taking on this particular file.” Tim Stockwell, who served as one of the study’s lead researchers, told The NOW

Wednesday that private liquor stores have a number of competitive advantages that set them apart in the marketplace: they’re open longer, more discounts are available and product choices are modified much more readily than at government liquor stores. “They adapt what they sell according to what they know people will buy and then they charge as much as they can, and often their prices are a bit higher,” Stockwell said. “But also, they’re also cunning in that they always have specials. If you really want to get good value for your dollar, you can always get a good deal at a private liquor store. They’re much more flexible at doing that than the government stores.” During the study period, the number of private stores jumped from 727 in 2003 to 977 in 2008, while the number of government stores dropped from 222 in 2003 to 199 in 2008. There was little to no increase in the amount of bars and restaurants during that time, though the number of alcohol-related deaths rose: 1,937 in 2003; 1,983 in 2004; 2,016 in 2005; 2,086 in 2006; 2,074 in 2007; and 2,011 in 2008. The NOW called four privately run liquor stores in Coquitlam, though the vast

majority of business owners declined an interview. A call to the John B. Pub was eventually fielded by Kim Haakstad, executive director of the Alliance of Beverage Licensees (ABLE) of B.C. “[The study] is making some very large claims and when you start looking at it, there’s some links there that are a little hard to back up,” Haakstad said. “I question how this set of data was chosen, how these conclusions are really drawn and why many other reasons for why this could be happening hasn’t been looked at.” Established in 1975, ABLE serves as a lobby group for pubs, bars and independent liquor stores throughout the province. Haakstad maintains that her member groups “take very seriously their obligation under the law and the rules that they operate under.” “If you’re caught selling to a minor, you get a $7,500 fine or a 10-day closure of your license — that’s a serious penalty. Liquor store owners do not try to sell to minors. Sometimes that happens, because people do get penalized for it now and again, but nobody ever intentionally sells liquor to a minor,” Haakstad said, while questioning whether the BCGEU funded the

research out of self-interest. Walker refuted that claim, saying the study was “not funded by us in any way, shape or form.” As for the long-term fix, Stockwell said the answer is simple. “The screaming-the-obvious response is to say, ‘Hey, maybe the government monopolies weren’t such a bad idea after all because it really makes a difference,’” he said. “The more that jurisdictions like Alberta, Quebec and now B.C. give away that monopoly, there’s an awful lot that gets lost.”

Opinion

Garbage pickup is adequate Re: “Garbage pickup inadequate,” letter to the editor, Wednesday, Jan. 12. I must take exception to the letter from Tracy O’Toole and subsequent ones supporting her. In my opinion, the pickup frequency is quite adequate. One must bear in mind that today the emphasis is on reduction, reuse and recycling. These are more than current catchwords; we are a nation of conspicuous consumption, more likely To The overconsumption. I do not wish to point fingers, but more frequent pickups will only defeat the aim of reduction. However, if one feels the need of increased city compliance, there are certain things one can do prior to this. PoCo has available, at a modest cost, oversized bins. One can also compact garbage so that it takes up less space. (I have seen un-broken-down boxes taking up most of a bin’s capacity). One can also check with a neighbour to see if they

have unused space in their garbage. Are we not, after all, a community? A 19-day gap between pickups is long (how that occurred I know not; I can only account for 18 days), but was not unexpected as the calendar distributed by City Hall clearly shows pickup dates. One can prepare by having one’s garbage cans emptied prior to this long gap. Ms. O’Toole neglects to mention that, Editor in the growing months, green waste is picked up on a weekly basis. We could, of course, have more frequent pickups with the additional costs that this would entail, but Ms. O’Toole thinks taxes are high enough already. No. Leave things as they are. Most people are more than satisfied. PS — If I were Ms. O’Toole’s neighbour, she wouldn’t have to throw the potato salad and shrimp in the garbage. Terry Roberts Port Coquitlam

Our View

Voter beware

s part of his bid for re-election, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has vowed to dismantle what may be the most progressive, democratic campaign finance laws in the world. Harper made the pledge last week, saying he would make the elimination of taxpayer subsidies to federal political parties a priority. On its surface, it doesn’t sound like a bad plan. Who wants their tax dollars to help politicians advertise? In reality, it’s a terrible idea. Canada’s election finance rules exist to protect Canadians. Candidates and parties have strict limits on how much they can spend; individuals have low caps on what they can give (slightly more than $1,000) and unions and corporations can’t donate at all. The largest single source of funding for candidates is the subsidy, defined as $1.75 (or thereabouts) per year for each vote their party won in the previous election. The effect is that candidates are served better by pleasing voters than by pleasing private interests. Taking $1.75 out of each voter’s tax bill to ensure the balance is spent for our benefit is, on the whole, a pretty good deal. Harper wants to undo this, and it’s obvious why. Reverting to a reliance on private donors is clearly most helpful to parties that serve the interests of wealthy individuals and organizations. The Tories certainly fit that description. Harper’s plan has nothing to do with fairness to taxpayers and everything to do with giving his party an edge. It should be rejected. ••• In other election-related news, what is happening with the provincial NDP? We thought they couldn’t sink any further into the muck of party infighting, but now even the leadership candidates are at each others’ throats. PoCo MLA Mike Farnworth has backed down from a challenge to Adrian Dix’s membership signups, which he took issue with earlier this week, but fellow contender Harry Lali has not. Regardless of who is right and who is wrong, it’s time for this party to pull together and show some unity — unless they’d prefer to remain in opposition for a very long time.

Restaurants and bars showing MMA have reported huge profit increases. Not to mention that Canada is home to arguably the greatest fighter in the world, Georges St-Pierre. It would be a tragic mistake for the Canadian Medical Association to listen to the BCMA’s recommendation. MMA is so popular that you will never be able to fully ban it. You would simply be pushing it underground. That will compromise the athletes’ safety more than anything. Professional leagues like the UFC have top medical standards and doctors. In short, they are doing it right. I have no problem cracking down on seedy underground fights with no rules and regulations, but killing a completely legitimate sport in a country with millions of fans and aspiring fighters is ludicrous. Yes, it has excess violence. Yes, there is occasionally — gasp — blood. And yes, the fans are mostly adrenaline-filled youths. These are reasons to dislike MMA, but not ban it.

Wrong message

Re: “Good luck, Mike,” letter to the editor, Friday, Jan. 14. Harold Bridge has a lot of gall suggesting that marijuana corrupts people. All — yes, all — available evidence shows that it is the prohibition of marijuana which is the thing To The Editor causing all the crime, not the plant itself. As for marijuana being an “illegal substance,” there have been a number of court rulings that have basically legalized weed by striking down the prohibition on pot as unconstitutional, which is how legal medical marijuana licensed from Health Canada came to exist. As for the “destruction of healthy people,” cannabis has dozens of proven medical applications, including the shrinking of cancerous tumors. Even when smoked, the benefits outweigh the dangers. My wife and I have been using several grams every day for years, and our health has only improved. For example, I am no longer using a wheelchair, and I am no longer impotent. Russell Barth Federally Licensed Medical Cannabis User Drug Reform Analyst and Consultant

Are not the head honchos in the RCMP, in a way, actually rewarding the (video recorded) Kelowna officer accused of assault by paying him full wages for sitting at home and watching his favourite DVDs, etc.? What kind of message does that coddling send out to the public, especially impressionable youth? Could he not, if it’s inappropriate for him to do “desk duty” at this time, at least be mopping up the evidence room or something? Furthermore, I find myself concerned about (albeit, usually rare cases of) members of the RCMP — and other police-force units, especially their counterparts in the special law enforcement units (e.g., ERTs) — who are gratuitously aggressive with some (usually) male civilians. The most extreme of the “law enforcers” storm into crime suspects’ homes, screaming, with fully automatic machine guns or hand guns drawn at the homes’ occupants (to “face down!”), all of whom, including infants, can be permanently traumatized from the experience. And on some occasions, these “law enforcers” force their way into the wrong home altogether. I’m convinced that some of these (mostly) men get into such fields of employment for the sheer power trip of it all. Frank G. Sterle, Jr. White Rock

Pot is not always illegal, letter writer Russell Barth points out. Educators for Sensible Drug Policy

Dog owners, beware We were at the off-leash doggie park in PoCo recently, and were walking back to our vehicle with our dog Mickey on leash when I turned around and — to my surprise — saw a bald eagle swooping down towards us. It was about 20 feet in the air and turned away as I looked at it. We have some property up Indian Arm with bald eagles living within view of our place, and have heard horrible stories about them taking small domestic animals. I did my research online, only to

find that very rarely does this happen, as they are 98-per-cent fish eaters or scavengers. Also, they can only pick up prey around six to nine pounds, on average. Mickey, our Cairn terrier, weighs 16 to 18 pounds, so we were delighted, to say the least. I heard that a five-year-old Jack Russell was taken by a bald eagle at Crescent Beach recently, which blows the theory away. I’m not sure if it’s just the time of year with high water in the Coquitlam River and a shortage of food, as the eagle looked a bit dirty on its feathers. Small dog owners, be aware.

hen Coquitlam resident Lorne Zapotichny leaves his office on Feb. 28, he’ll have completed 43 years of policing, but he has a lifetime of memories. Zapotichny joined the New Westminster Police Service in 1998 and in the 13 years since, he’s stamped his imprint on the force. But listen to the 62-year-old talk about his life and you discover a man of the highest integrity who had to grow up too early. And even when he started policing, his first posting almost scared him out of the job all together. As Zapotichny rides off into the sunset to enjoy time with wife Joyce, daughters Sarah and Laura, granddaughter Avarey and a grandson expected in May, here are some vignettes into the life of a man who was more than just a police officer. ••• Lorne Zapotichny grew up in the small town of Lamont, Alta., about 60 kilometres northeast of Edmonton, as the youngest of five children. His father, Peter, worked for the department of highways as a road grader and his mother, Margaret, managed the family homestead, which included a hobby farm. With 20 years separating the eldest daughter, Josie, from Lorne, Lorne was close to his parents, siblings and Josie’s husband, John Herchek. Everything would change on the cold morning of Nov. 29, 1960. “I remember every detail from that day vividly,” Zapotichny recalls. “I was 12, going to elementary school and sitting two rows in front of my brother Wayne, who was sitting at the very back of the bus. “They let me out at my school because the high school is further down and I remember turning around to Wayne and saying to him ‘See you later.’ “When I got to school that morning, it was weird and we all knew something had happened … The teachers seemed to be in a panic but nothing was said. They told us we’d be going home and I remember it was funny when another bus, with another driver, came to pick me up. I remember being very confused. We lived nine miles from my school so it seemed like a long drive home. “When I got back, it was bitterly cold outside and I remember seeing my dad’s car gone and nobody was home. I walked in the house and I saw my brother’s shoes and I knew something was wrong. Finally, my brother-in-law [John] came to pick me up and took me to the hospital … I found out that the bus had been hit by a train and a lot of the kids died ... My brother Wayne was 16.” The tragic accident would see 17 students die — 15 of them girls — with another 24

to your home province or your home city,” he says. “And I think I wanted B.C. and I was told by people that if you wanted B.C., you should ask for Saskatchewan or Manitoba. “Well, during my interview, the corporal asks me where I want to go and I said I wanted Saskatchewan or Manitoba. He looks me in the eyes and tells me, ‘BS you want to go to Saskatchewan or Manitoba.’ I looked him in the eyes and said, ‘That’s where I want to go. He tells me, ‘I’m sorry I have to disappoint you. You’re going to Penticton.’” It would be in Penticton where Zapotichny almost gave up on his policing career. ••• “I get to Penticton, and one of the officers there tells me he can get me into a basement suite at the same place he’s staying at,” Zapotichny says. “I take him up on that and it’s good because I’m riding in to work with him all the time.” One of the first cases Zapotichny was assigned to involved a series of break-andenters at local hardware stores. “I remember being given a portable radio, one that hardly worked, and I’d spend nights in hardware stores waiting for something to happen … Just my luck that nothing happened.” Meanwhile, a more senior officer was transferred into Penticton to run the radio scanners and answer the phones while Zapotichny and his housemate investigated the break-andenters. “One day, my partner tells me that I’m now on the radio and phone and the two of them are going out on the road to do some investigating … I’m thinking this is great — I’m three months into the job and I’ve got a big opportunity. They go out and I’m supposed to check up on them in the afternoon.” By 3 p.m., he hasn’t heard from the other two officers and he starts to get worried. As each half hour ticks by, he still can’t get a hold of the two and considers calling the commanding officer. “I finally get a hold of them at 5 p.m. and they get back around 5:30 p.m. and they’re all covered in dirt. They told me they were helping some woman out in the toolies and I don’t think anything more of it … I went home to go to sleep. “I’m woken up at around 9 a.m. and there’s four police officers knocking on the upstairs door … Next thing I know, the police are taking [my housemate] away. “It turns out a little old lady saw a safe being taken out of the legion and she wondered why there was a police car and two guys loading up the safe … Turns out they were out in the toolies trying to break the safe open … It was the two of them who had committed all the break-and-enters.”

Tex is a handsome younger cat, likely not much more than 1 year old. Tex is very friendly and talkative and loves to interact....with people. Tex isn’t too thrilled about living with all these other cats, but is still settling in. He would likely do okay in a home with a female cat. Tex is playful and would do well in just about any home!

MISO

• ANIMAL: CAT • BREED: SIAMESE X MUNCHIN • SEX: SPAYED FEMALE • AGE: ADULT

Miso is one of the most unique cats you’ll see! She is a very big girl, but some of it is a thick coat of fur. Then she has beautiful blue eyes, that cross just slightly. And to top it off...Miso has tiny front legs! Miso is talkative and affectionate and needs a quiet home.

KATYA

• ANIMAL: CAT • BREED: DLH • SEX: SPAYED FEMALE • AGE: ADULT

Katya is a big beautiful girl. She has quite a lions mane that frames her pretty face. Katya was a little grumpy when she ﬁrst arrived in our cat room, but has settled in quickly. Katya tends to stick to herself and would likely prefer a home without another cat.

Zapotichny was questioned by internal affairs officers to make sure he wasn’t part of the criminal behaviour. He was cleared, but the incident scarred him. “I’d spent my whole life putting the RCMP on a pedestal, and here a couple of co-workers are dirty. It was hard for me to comprehend … I’m three months on the job and the atmosphere’s so acrimonious and I’m so disillusioned that I told the commanding officer that I was going to resign. “He comes up from Chilliwack and asks if I would change my mind if he transferred me out of Penticton. I said sure, so within three days, I’m working the beat in Castlegar.” Castlegar would be the second of 10 RCMP postings for Zapotichny. ••• When he came to New Westminster in 1998, it was at the personal request of then-chief Peter Young, who wanted to create a deputy chief position for the then-officer-in-charge of the Coquitlam RCMP detachment. “I’d heard good things about New Westminster and here I was, completing 30 years with the RCMP and I’m looking at this opportunity to go into municipal policing … I had a five-year plan to do five years in New Westminster and finish with 35 years in policing.” By 2000, Young would retire to sail around the world with his wife, and Zapotichny would ascend to the top cop job in the Royal City. “I wasn’t even sure I wanted the job, but then I thought about all the work Peter and I had done in building something in two-and-a-half years and I didn’t want someone to come up and change everything,” he recalls. “So I took the job, with an eye to only doing it for three years, to get to my 35 years. “I soon discovered I was having a lot of fun with the job. The support from council, the board and all of the staff — it was a really good trust relationship. I just kept renewing the contract when they asked me to stay on.” By 2009, Zapotichny had made up his mind to leave, but with the 2010 Winter Olympics so close, he decided to give it one more year. “I know it’s time now,” he says. “If I have any regrets, it’s that the time has gone by so quickly.” Besides being at his cabin on Indian Arm, Zapotichny wants to spend time with his grandchildren. He also wants to travel with his wife, with a trip to Palm Springs in March one of the first they’re planning. “I remember putting the e-mail together to tell everybody I was retiring,” he says. “I couldn’t push the send button. I tried to get [executive assistant Simone Gardner] to do it for me but she said she didn’t want to press the button either … I finally did and I guess it’s better to leave the party on a high note than have people ask you to leave. “I’d like to think I’ve done a pretty good job and met all the challenges here … I wish my successor the best of luck.”

Dear SwarmJam I wanted to instantly express my thanks for your advice. I thought I knew a lot about advertising, as I own Imageworks, a Graphic Design and Web Design Studio. I am often correct in my assessments... but you proved that I still have more to learn! I signed up Magic Clean, a pressure washing and window cleaning provider, for SwarmJam; I thought the ad should run in late March or April. You assured me it would work now in early January... even though it’s cold and quite miserable outside! I was hesitant about running it now but you assured me it would WORK and BOY, oh BOY you were right!

THE AD APPEARED TODAY!

• By 7 a.m. we had 3 people buy. Who gets up that early to buy? • At 11 a.m. we had 12 new clients • At 6 p.m. we had 24 buyers • WHOOPS... another just signed up as I am typing! That’s 25 and growing • WHOOPS... 3 more signed up.That’s 28 now!

WE HAVE 4 days to to go!!!!

MY PERSONAL ADVICE TO ADVERTISERS • Get in on the SwarmJam bandwagon today, before your competitors do. • Think carefully about your costs, because if done right it will far exceed your expectations. • Try to make it a value that is great for buyers, while still affordable to you!

and 48 laminated modules. It weighs about 250 kg (600 lbs) and comes with an eight-year, or 160,000 km, warranty. The electric motor that drives the Leaf’s front wheels is a high-response 80 kWh AC synchronous motor that can generate 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. This combination gives the Leaf a rated driving range of 160 kilometres (based on the U.S. LA4 cycle) on a single charge. According to Nissan, 90 per cent of Canadians commute less than 90 km a day. The actual real-world driving range of the Leaf depends on a multitude of factors, including where, when and how it’s driven. Use of its economy mode extends the driving range considerably, and travel distances way beyond its rated range are certainly possible. Leaf’s battery can be charged up to 80 per cent of its full capacity in 30 minutes when connected to a dedicated DC fast charger. Charging at home with a 240V (dryer or stove type) outlet takes about eight hours. Using the standard 120V wall connection takes 20 hours to recharge a completely depleted battery pack. The charging points are hidden under a small door located in the front of the Leaf and the plug connects to an on-board charger. A regenerative braking system also helps increase driving range. Leaf’s electric motor acts as a generator, converting energy lost during braking or deceleration into battery energy. Leaf is the most car-like electric vehicle I’ve driven to date and I would put it on par with a Toyota Prius in terms of handling. At low speeds (below 26 km/h) it makes a humming sound from a speaker at the front of the vehicle to alert pedestrians, which automatically turns off when the vehicle’s speed reaches 31 km/h. It’s a bold move by Nissan, and by getting in early, it can take advantage of pent-up demand for a fully roadworthy and affordable electric car. Beyond the so-called “early adopters and green-intenders,” it’s going to be interesting to see how many everyday car buyers are prepared to also open their wallet to buy a Leaf.

new year’s resolution is already in danger of falling through the cracks, there is no better time to work on your flexibility and strength through yoga. The Société francophone de Maillardville is hosting yoga in French starting on Jan. 31. The 10 lessons cost $110, and participants must register by Jan. 27. Call 604-515-7070 or e-mail info@maillardville.com. The Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex and City Centre Aquatic Complex also have a few offerings this winter and spring, and professional trainers are on staff to discuss programs and services available. There are specialized yoga classes for the entire family, and registered classes include: • Mom and daughter yoga on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. at the Centennial Activity Centre, • Baby and me yoga held on Thursdays, from 10:45 a.m. at the City Centre Aquatic Complex, • Family yoga offered on Sundays, 3 p.m. at Centennial Activity Centre. Classes start very soon, so yoga enthusiasts and beginners are encouraged to avoid disappointment by registering early. If you prefer to have “me time” during yoga, then Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex

offers drop-in hatha flow yoga four times weekly: Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:30 a.m., Wednesdays at 7:45 p.m. and Fridays at 10:45 a.m. For those seeking more broad-based fitness than flexibility, one option that requires very little time commitment is the city’s fitness starter program, which is a 45-minute session that leads participants through a standard weight training program. That will help individuals on their journey with independent exercise, and the cost is only $26.75. The program is available seven days a week and often can be booked for the same day. The centres also offer personal training and tandem training for pairs, for those individuals who are looking to go a little further and have something tailored to their specific goals. For more information about personal training, or the wide range of yoga or other fitness programs, call 604-927-4386 or visit www.coquitlam.ca. The Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex is located at 633 Poirier St., the Centennial Activity Centre is located at 570 Poirier St., and the City Centre Aquatic Complex is located at 1210 Pinetree Way.

Say goodbye to neck pain Experience the beneﬁts of Low Intensity Laser Light Therapy

“In 1996 I was hurt in a motorcycle accident, going left shoulder ﬁrst into the pavement at 60 km/hr. Since this time I have had ongoing neck and shoulder pain, with the top of my left shoulder going numb. Doctors told me that there was nothing that could be done and that I would have to live with the pain the rest of my life. While having laser treatment for my back, I mentioned this to Dr. Bennett, after 2 sessions of laser treatment the pain and numbness disappeared! We did a total of 5 sessions and months later the pain and numbness has never returned. I want to thank Dr. Bennett and her staff, for the fantastic service they have provided and would sincerely recommend laser treatment for anyone with pain.”

Mackin House Museum seeks seniors for legacy project The next generation will need to know its past to make a better future. Mackin House Museum is looking for seniors with talents, stories and information they could share with the Coquitlam community for the new Bridging Generations program. Starting this winter, the program will will link a variety of people who may not typically meet one another. “We want to help local seniors to share their experience with and knowledge of traditional arts, crafts, customs and culinary methods with children, youth and new Canadians, among others,” said Jill Cook, the museum’s executive director, in a press release. Bridging Generations aims to preserve the rich sources of information seniors offer to their communities. Through activities such as knitting classes, baking with children at celebrations, storytelling to small groups or working with special committees, the seniors will have the opportunity to pass along their talents and knowledge. The project was developed with funding from the federal government’s new Horizons for Seniors program. “Seniors are an invaluable reference for us,” said Sandy Priestly, the project manager. “Mackin House Museum wants to offer a warm, inviting environment for them and for those who want to learn from them.”

Seniors possessing all interests and skills are invited to participate in Bridging Generations. Anyone with a talent for knitting, woodworking, paint-

ing, storytelling, writing, cooking, baking or photography would be an asset to the program. The museum is also looking for individuals with knowledge

of the history of Maillardville, antiques, the Coquitlam community, textiles or the history of the railroad. If you — or anyone you know — have any of these

talents or knowledge, you’re encouraged to consider joining the Bridging Generations program as a participant. Anyone who is interested should contact Mackin House

Museum at 604-516-6151 or info@coquitlamheritage.ca for details. More information is also available online at www. coquitlamheritage.ca.

I am downsizing my business and need to dismiss an employee in good standing. How much notice or severance is fair and adequate?

An employee in good standing can be lawfully terminated without cause so long as the employer provides the employee with appropriate notice of termination or payment in lieu of notice. The Employment Standards Act sets out the minimum amount of notice or severance to which employees are entitled. Employees are often entitled to more than this minimum amount. The amount of notice or severance they are entitled to depends on many factors, including length of service, age, position, and even the general economy. An employment lawyer can help you determine what is fair and adequate in the circumstances.

Score Card

Top line pulls plug on Clippers

The big line of Garrick Perry, Michael Krgovich and Jason Grecica accounted for all six goals, as the Coquitlam Express keelhauled the Nanaimo Clippers 6-3 on Wednesday. And while the three seasoned 20year-olds spearheaded the attack, 18year-old netminder Khaleed Devji did a standup job of holding off the Nanaimo shooters for much of the night. That combination helped spring 16-19-1-9 Coquitlam back into a tie with Cowichan Valley for the final playoff spot in the B.C. Hockey League’s Coastal Conference, and pull within six points of fifth-place Nanaimo. While they try to make the most of their underdog status, the club isn’t exactly embracing the low expectations that others harbour for them. “It’s not really comfortable because we know we need to hurry up and pick up games,” remarked Perry, who finished with two goals and three assists on the night. “We’re [tied for] last place, we’ve got nothing to lose so we have to fight to get up to the playoffs. We’re going for it.” It seemed that way on Wednesday, as they staked out an early 1-0 lead on the first of three for Krgovich. While Nanaimo tied it midway through the second, Coquitlam’s powerplay flexed its muscles when Jason Grecica restored the lead, followed by Perry’s first of two. While Nanaimo applied a lot of pressure in the third, Devji made a couple of key stops to protect the lead. The Clippers did manage to cut the deficit to two, but the No. 1 line bucked up and slapped the visitors down. Krgovich iced it with an empty net marker with 22 seconds left. “Our big three stepped up to bat and our powerplay was very good,” head coach Jon Calvano said. “Perry and Krgovich had great evenings offensively… Khaleed made some great saves towards the second half of the third period that proved to be pivotal. We’ve seen that out of Khaleed and he’s relishing the chance he’s getting.” The team’s most recent acquisitions — defenceman Cody Castro and forward Tyler Griffith — were solid in support of the big line.

THE RING’S THE THING: Brandishing their 2010 World cheerleading championship cheer rings are, from left, Laura Patten, Racheal Curry, Sara Wright and Geoff Hamilton. The PoCo-based athletes will lead the charge into 2011, with an eye on a third straight world crown.

World champions of cheer aim for threepeat Stories by Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com Masters at hockey? Check. Dominant at lacrosse? Certainly. Tops in cheer? Who’d of thunk it, but yes. Canada’s successful defence of its International Cheer Union’s World Cheerleading championship last year was a victory that reaffirmed the nation’s standing in the fairly new sport of cheer. Taking top honours in both co-ed and all-girl team events was just more proof that Canadians aren’t a nation of passive, quiet librarians. With a large contingent of the team

coming from the Port Coquitlambased Vancouver All Stars, Canada’s cheer squad raised the bar and set the tone for this year’s push for a third consecutive win. “I think that cheerleading in Canada has evolved a little faster than many of the countries that we were competing against,” said Geoff Hamilton, an All Star member of Canada’s co-ed world champions. “That, combined with excellent choreography, a diverse coaching staff and great chemistry with the team that was assembled all gave us a leg up on the competition.” Canada edged Chile last April for the co-ed elite gold, a verdict that came because of superior tumbling.

“We wanted to repeat our 2009 showing and win gold again… The co-ed team ran a cleanly executed routine but their main competition from Chile also had a great run,” recalled Liz Gigante Ulrich, Vancouver All Star coach and part of Canada’s coaching staff. “We knew we could out-tumble Chile, but we felt that Chile had raised their standards and were biting [at] our heels.” The all-girls team were also equal to the task, but not without some nervous moments. “The all-girl team hit all their stunts and pyramids but had four major touch downs/falls during the tumbling portions… We went into awards thinking we had closed the

gap and possibly opened the door for a new world champion but the results had us ranked first by every international judge,” Gigante Ulrich said. Being No. 1 only means they’ll be aiming at those heels once again at the next world championships this spring in Florida. While the process of making the team is just beginning in earnest, Hamilton said he has made it a goal to get back there. “Cheerleading is growing quickly in Canada and I’m glad that I will always be able to say that I have competed and succeeded against the best of the world,” he said. “I will be trying out for the team again this year, so with any luck I’ll be able to experience it all over again.”

Centaurs set sights on playoffs Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com In the cycle of most high school basketball programs, there comes a point in the downside where the beatings and rough outings turn into opportunity. They are converted to success if the players are resilient and dedicated to the gameplan. From there the rise begins. The Centennial senior boys Centaurs believe they are nearing a vital intersection in that cycle. The squad is two years removed from its last B.C. AAA tournament berth, and 12 years away from being in the championship final. While the first major obstacle is surviving the gruelling Valley battle to make this year’s B.C. championships in Langley, the Cents are feeling more and more confident. “Right now, I am happy where we are,” said head coach Alan Kaselj of the team’s progress. “We are a very young

team that is making a lot of progress. With nine league games left, we are going to really find out who we are in the month of February.” They picked up their first Fraser Valley North league win on Tuesday, topping Fraser Heights 75-63. Providing the offensive spark was Grade 10 guard Jason Buren, who scored 22 points. Forward Jonathon Doucette contributed 16, as the Cents improved to 1-1. They’ve posted some interesting results since the calendar changed. Last week, the team kickstarted league action by giving No. 6-ranked Terry Fox a good test before falling 69-55. The Cents started well against Fox, taking an 18-8 lead before the Ravens pushed back. Buren led the attack with 25 points, while Gr. 12 guard Mitch Henderson added 12. At the GP Vanier tourney in Courtenay, the Coquitlam crew blasted Ballenas 81-41, with Gr. 11 Andrew Moon tallying 15 points. They were edged 85-73 by Point Grey, despite

Buren’s 27-point performance. Wellington rolled to an 8053 decision, and Centennial finished with a hard-fought 5652 win over Woodlands. Buren, who was named to the second all-star squad, led all shooters with 23 points, while Doucette scored 14 points. The six-foot-two teenager has demonstrated no aversion to playing against more experienced opponents. “Buren brings great composure for a player in Grade 10,” Kaselj said. “His improvement over the last five-six weeks is just phenomenal.” Along with the leadership from guards Sunny Shin and Henderson, the team is starting to gel together as the league battles pick up. “Our league is once again the toughest out there. We just want to get better and hopefully make some noise in the playoffs,” said Kaselj. The Cents continue battling for position in the North league with a home date tonight, 7:30 p.m. against North Surrey.

Confidence grows as Express hit the road again  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 28

up a Clippers’ two-on-one break in the third, while Griffith demonstrated a great stride during his shifts along with solid forechecking. With a three-game tour of the Interior up next, Perry anticipates the squad will build on

Wednesday’s effort against some stiff competition in Penticton, Trail and Vernon. “There’s no doubt in our minds that we can pull four of six points on this road trip,” he said. The Express hold two games in hand on Cowichan, Alberni and Nanaimo, with their next home game not until Jan. 28 against Langley.

Chiefs prove to be a handful for BC midget leading Hawks Playing shorthanded is nothing new for the Vancouver North East Chiefs. For much of the season it was due to injuries. This time, getting slapped with a late penalty while playing the No. 1 major midget team in B.C. proved to be the final straw. The Chiefs were 37 seconds away from earning a second consecutive draw against the

Valley West Hawks on Sunday, only to watch the league leaders pull out a last-minute win on James Neil’s late tally. “We were right there with them and both games could have gone either way,” Chiefs coach Doneau Menard said. “They were the team more worried about losing a hockey game than we were, because we had nothing to lose.” Struck with a number of injuries during the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League season, the Coquitlam, PoCo, Port Moody and Ridge Meadows-

Well, that’s not how a new year should start. The Coquitlam Metro-Ford Wolves ended 2010 as leaders in the Vancouver Metro Soccer premier league, but are now chasing someone else as 2011 enters its third week of action. Coquitlam suffered a surprising 2-0 loss to 11th-place Croatia SC to start the second half of the season, but regained its footing Saturday by topping Akal FC 4-2 at Town Centre. Unfortunately, the new top dog of the VMSL, the Surrey United Firefighters, also won. The Wolves trailed 13th-place Akal in the first half, after the visitors scored at the 15-minute mark. Coquitlam countered on

Russel Huggon’s blast midway through the frame. Akal retook the lead on a penalty kick. With halftime looming, Brayden Gant emerged above a flock of defenders to head home Emilio Bottiglieri’s well-placed corner kick to make it 2-2 entering the final 45 minutes. That’s where Coquitlam took control, creating numerous scoring opportunities before Carlo Basso and Huggon locked up the squad’s 13th victory of the season. The win keeps the Wolves one point back of Surrey United. Coquitlam is slated to play the Serbian Eagles on Sunday, 6 p.m. at Burnaby Lake West.

Wolves bounce back

based Chiefs were still missing a couple of players. They were boosted by the return of leading scorer Matt Bissett for the weekend series, which took place in Chase as part of the MMHL’s all-star weekend. The underdogs shook off a 2-0 deficit and scored four straight goals on Saturday, only to see the Hawks tie it with two late tallies. Collecting the Chiefs goals were Nick Hermany, Adam Rockwood, Michael Scobie and Jacob Wensley. A day later, the squads trad-

ed goals right until the end, when it appeared defenceman Dominic Centis of PoCo had earned the Chiefs a point with a goal early in the third. In the last minute, however, Port Moody’s Truman Gonzales was called for hooking and that gave the 20-4-6 Hawks a powerplay chance they’d convert. “We matched up well with them, it was two solid teams throwing a lot of body checks and everyone came off the ice with some bumps and bruises.” Jamie Waddington and Scobie also scored. Otherwise, the weekend was

a smash, as major junior and junior A scouts took in the all-star festivities and regular season contests. Menard believes his squad, which has persevered despite some difficult injuries, is producing some talented players for next year’s junior ranks. “A lot of our players haven’t been extensively scouted,” he noted. “That’s the sort of zone we draw from, as associations like Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and Ridge Meadows don’t usually play in the top (peewee and midget) tier.” While PoCo defenceman

Synergy surge past Semiahmoo

The Coquitlam Metro-Ford Synergy put the pieces together to beat Semiahmoo 2-1 in under-18 girls soccer. Down 1-0 at the half, Coquitlam applied plenty of pressure to turn the tables. Kaitlin Ahonen tied the game off a breakaway, while Kayla Mobilio, corralling a well-tossed throw-in from Melanie Prentice, connected for the game winner with just two minutes to play. • The u-16 silver Panthers proved to be at their sharpest in downing Ladner 2-0 in girls soccer action. After a scoreless first half, the Panthers grabbed the lead on Chenille Lafleur’s marker, followed by Dana Townsend’s insurance marker. Collecting the shutout was Ashley Hayes.

Taylor Green, drafted by Seattle, and Bissett, taken by Chilliwack, are known commodities, others are now getting their dues. PoCo’s Liam Pearce, Coquitlam’s Jamie Waddington, Daniel Del Bianco and Centis, are attracting interest. “We’ve got some guys who people didn’t have on their radars who really have worked hard to be there… Teams are starting to show interest.” The Chiefs, who now sit sixth overall with a 10-11-7 record, visit third-place Greater Vancouver this weekend.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Secrets, depths, sexual urges, subconscious nudges, large finances, net worth, other people’s money and resources – these fill the weeks ahead. Research, look beneath surface appearances. Love vows or business agreements are one thing; commitment to share, delivering the funds, is another. Now it’s commitment time. You either get deeper, or break off. Tackle errands Sunday morning. Home, kids and security, nature and nutrition capture your attention this eve to Tuesday. Romance has a bit of a rough ride mid-week. Still, joy exists! Tackle chores Friday/Saturday – you succeed! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The emphasis lies on relationships, relocation, contracts, negotiations, opportunities and opposition. Emotions intensify; there’s little middle ground. Love and hate swirl. Your romantic sensors are fine-tuned, and luck flows into all communications. In short, you might fall in love now or soon, or heal a valuable, longterm bond. This week isn’t the easiest, or the hardest. Communications, travel succeed Sunday p.m. to Tuesday. Recuperate, rest mid-week. Various frictions arise, perhaps with a partner. Be diplomatic. Romance, creativity, luck soar Thursday night to Saturday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A time of great change is upon you. It might affect where you live. It’s lucky, and occurs now to early June. During the same period, your romantic, creative and child-oriented projects/links will tread water – that gives you the time and focus to concentrate on this change. It is the first of two steps – the second one occurs November to July 2012. That second one won’t be so much lucky as “telling,” perhaps hectic, certainly filled with determination. Make your move soon. Invest, commit, seek sexual intimacy, change your lifestyle. Thursday night to Saturday holds clues!

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Tackle chores Sunday – be safe with tools, electricity. This eve to Tuesday afternoon brings happy, flirty, friendly relationships. Don’t be argumentative Monday. Though mid-week tempts you toward research, investments or sexual intimacy, or nudges you to make a commitment to a person or lifestyle, you’d be wise to wait. Your future will develop best if right now you are social, if you play, plan and dream. Rewards come from past efforts, not present ones. Gentle, mellow love and understanding, travel and legal success float in late Thursday night through Saturday. Taurus April 20-May 20: Legal matters might slow now to June, particularly those involving work, health or machinery. So might far travel, religious projects and higher studies – in these, “revisit old haunts.” For instance, you’ll succeed in school if you resurrect an old project or study subjects you’ve studied before. Sunday afternoon to Tuesday brings work and health concerns. The weeks ahead reward ambition, so plunge into tasks. Relationships can be irksome midweek. Be diplomatic; don’t push your own agenda. Secrets, depths, sexual attractions and finances – all luckily – fill Friday/Saturday. Gemini May 21-June 20: The weeks ahead beneficially emphasize higher learning, legal affairs, far travel, cultural involvements/rituals and gentle love. Sleep in Sunday morning. This eve to Tuesday brings romantic situations, pleasure and beauty, passion and risk. Your creative juices flow. Gambling, however, might hurt your bank account. Reject investments for now. (Until June, new investments are ill advised. Stick with those already in the works.) Work and health issues arrive late Tuesday through Thursday. Good and bad luck are mixed, so just plod ahead. Relationships excite, reward Friday/Saturday!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The month ahead emphasizes romance, creativity and speculative luck. Until June, you stand on the edge of momentous events, prospects and opportunities. You might marry. For the best luck, relocate, negotiate, seek agreements and contracts, interface with the public, grab opportunities, form business partnerships or alliances, or seek marriage. (Some Librans, bound in unhappiness, might divorce now. But this influence might also “cure” your marriage. Can you give it one more try?) Rest Sunday daytime. This eve to Tuesday, your energy and charisma soar. Money caution mid-week. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your workload will increase now to June. Just plod through if you have no enthusiasm. But realize this work can be the entry hall to one or two major career or business opportunities, to arrive after May, into mid-2012. For the next six years, your money fortunes are on an extended rise! But it starts with work. Tamp down any domestic friction to late February: be gentle, kind. Pride wrecks love. Lie low, rest early week. Your energy surges back Tuesday night through Thursday. Thursday night to Saturday brings the first hint of your coming money luck. Get frequent rest these weeks. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Love, romance, creative projects, speculation, sports, risks, selfexpression, dealings with children – these meet great luck and opportunity now to June. The month ahead features talk, travel, curiosity – so get curious! Travel and casual conversations can – no, will – lead to good things, romance among them! Uphold your reputation early Sunday. This eve to Tuesday brings social delights, flirtations and wish fulfilment! Retreat, rest and contemplate future obstacles mid-week. Your energy and charisma climb Thursday night to Saturday – start projects, ask favours, see and be seen.

Jan. 23 - Jan. 20 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The weeks ahead emphasize money, earnings, buying/selling, possessions, sensual attractions and memory. Accept surface appearances; they will tend to be true, and questioning will “sour the atmosphere.” Lots of money might come! But be self-disciplined: spending can get out of control. Now to June, you are powerfully favoured to purchase (and sell) real estate, to heal family issues, to ﬁnd security, and to end limiting situations, projects and conditions. (You might see and chuck these luckily Friday/Saturday.) February is one of the best months to combine money and property. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness soar for the next few weeks. Start important projects, ask favours, seek permission, impress bosses, colleagues. Your determination and sex appeal (which are always linked) are unusually high now through February. Sunday morning has a mysterious cast,but this eve toTuesday brings wisdom, gentle love and understanding. Be ambitious midweek, but be diplomatic. You might push just because you have extra energy, but others could feel you’re abrasive. Wishes come true Friday/Saturday – expect social joys, entertainment, ﬂirtation, happiness! Pisces Feb.19-March 20: Retreat for a while.Gather your energies and your thoughts. Rest, contemplate, let the world go by. Be charitable, spiritual. The few weeks ahead favour dealing with government, taxes, institutions and large corporations. Study a money plan, rework it until it’s perfect. Soon – by March at the latest – money will start flowing your way, perhaps a huge pile of money. Students could win scholarships, consultants might land a big client, etc. But now is preparation time. Avoid belligerent people, unsavoury places. Sunday to Tuesday is mysterious. Be ambitious Friday/Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
