Moore Tories for majority

Longtime Conservative MP claims fifth-straight election in Tri-Cities Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com “Four more years! Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!” Amid cheers and applause, this chant rang out at Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club as Conservative James Moore stepped up to the podium. Moore delivered his victory speech Monday night after being elected for the fifth consecutive term in the Port MoodyWestwood-Port Coquitlam riding. But this election meant something different for Moore. The majority government means he will hold on to his seat for the next four years without the looming possibility of another election. “It means stability. It’s not just that minority Parliaments can be dysfunctional, but the threat of an election every three months is destabilizing to the government, which also in turn can be destabilizing to the economy. I think this stability will be good for British Columbia, will be good for the Tri-Cities, will be good for the economy,” Moore said. “This is what we asked for and Canadians agreed with us. They elected a majority government and I think it’s good for Canada. It’s a good night for Canada. We have fewer separatists in the House of Commons and we have a steady, stable majority government.

since announced his resignation as party leader. Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe has resigned his post following an abysmal performance for the party at the polls, capturing only four seats. Duceppe also lost in his own riding of Laurier-Sainte Marie; NDP candidate Helene Laverdiere captured it from the incumbent, who has represented the area since 1990. Much ado was made about Jack Layton

His footwear and beverage of choice spoke volumes before Fin Donnelly even opened his mouth Monday night. Wearing matching green and orange Converse Chuck Taylors, and hoisting a bottle of Orange Crush above his head, Donnelly arrived at Coquitlam’s Sokela Restaurant at around 9:30 p.m. to a boisterous crowd of about 100 people celebrating his election night win in New WestminsterCoquitlam. Originally elected in a November 2009 byelection, Donnelly retained his seat Fin Donnelly defends his New West-Coquitlam seat. in the House of Commons after edging out Conservative candidate Diana Dilworth by more than 2,200 votes. “I am very honoured and humbled to be going back to Ottawa to represent you,” Donnelly said. Donnelly captured 45.9 per cent of votes, while Dilworth garnered 41.5 per cent. Liberal candidate Ken Beck Lee garnered 8.1 per cent of the popular vote, while Green Party candidate Rebecca Helps secured 4.3 per cent. Voter turnout in New Westminster-Coquitlam was recorded at 60.3 per cent. The New Westminster-Coquitlam riding has remained in NDP control since 2006, when Dawn Black defeated then incumbent Conservative candidate Paul Forseth. Donnelly went on to protect the NDP territory. Donnelly said issues such as the HST, overcrowding at Royal Columbian Hospital and environmental protection resonated with voters when he was on the campaign trail. “People are still really smarting over the HST. With the cost of things going up, the HST added on to that makes it even harder to live,” he said. Donnelly also acknowledged the unprecedented surge in popular support for his party

James Moore will continue to represent the Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam riding. “This is absolutely what the public and the Tri-Cities said to me on the doorstep, which is we don’t want any more frivolous nonsense with elections and we want to make sure the government is focused on the economy. Well, done and done.” Moore is one of 167

Conservative candidates elected, a watershed number for the party that could not break the 155-seat majority mark in the last two elections. Two-time New WestminsterPort Coquitlam candidate Diana Dilworth lost out to NDP candidate Fin Donnelly, but she was

heartened by her party’s gains. “We won the war, but not the battle,” Dilworth told 50 supporters at Original Joe’s in Coquitlam. “I want everyone who contributed to know, you contributed to the Stephen Harper majority today.”  CONTINUED ON PAGE 3, see TORIES.

A night of surprises, upsets and history Simone Blais sblais@thenownews.com There are winners and losers in every election. That’s the nature of a contest. But no one could have predicted that the 41st general election for Canada’s Parliament would have claimed the contenders it did, or elevate those who rose. The Conservative Party of Canada will have a majority government, having captured 167

seats with 54.2 per cent of the popular vote. But not everyone walked away from Monday night with good news. Two party leaders not only failed to achieve a minority government, they failed to secure their own seats. Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff conceded defeat in his riding of Etobicoke-Lakeshore, outside of Toronto. Many red ridings turned shades of blue or orange this election, as Liberals dipped from being the party with the second-most seats in the House of Commons to third with 34 elected MPs. Ignatieff has

Tories cash in on split: prof  CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.

Likewise, Conservative supporter Dan MacNeil is pleased to see the shift to a majority government. “I think it’s fantastic. I really do,” said the Coquitlam man. “A minority government works if you have co-operation from the other parties, but there was too much partisanship. Now as a majority, things can get done.” Lindsay Meredith, a political science professor at Simon Fraser University, expects to see more business-friendly policies in coming months from Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “Certainly there will be some tax breaks on that side. I hope he doesn’t get too crazy and go too far down that road because Canada already has some of the lowest business taxation among all eight [Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development] countries,” he said. “Don’t get stupid and keep throwing one bone after another into that dog pen. Look after your consumers — the voters — because if that Canadian demand takes a dive, he’s up the creek. There goes his deficit plan and everything else.” Meredith attributes the majority win to the Liberals rather than to Harper himself. “He didn’t do it. The

Diana Dilworth talks with Conservative supporters at the New West-Coquitlam wrap party after her defeat. Liberals did it for him. Once that vote split between the centre and the left, he walked up the middle,” Meredith said. “If the centre-left vote had coalesced and stayed tight, there’s no way he would have had the majority. I’m not saying he would have been leaving government, but I suspect it would have another minority.” Defeated Liberal candidate

Stewart McGillivray, who ran against Moore in Port MoodyWestwood-Port Coquitlam, remains hopeful despite his party’s plummet. “We’re not a spent force as a party. We have come back from low points before with Conservative majorities. This will be interesting with the NDP in Official Opposition, but we have come back. We’ve always rebuilt ourselves with

new blood,” McGillivray said. “We’ve got a lot of young men and women still in the Parliament. We have Justin Trudeau, Dominic LeBlanc and Kevin Lamoreaux from Winnipeg. Hopefully eventually I’ll be able to take part in the rebuilding of our party.” — With files by John Kurucz and Janaya Fuller-Evans

— a jump to 102 seats from 37 in the House of Commons — and how the NDP must now turn its focus towards becoming the Official Opposition. “Now that we have an expanded caucus across the country, we have an extra responsibility,” he said. “We unfortunately now have a majority Harper government. That’s the reality but we have a strong group of New Democrats to fight that government and keep them accountable and that’s exactly what we will be doing.” Simon Fraser University political science professor Lindsay Meredith attributed the NDP’s nearly threefold jump to voters being disenfranchised with the Liberal platform. “What happened was the centre vote split and ran left,” he said. “That’s not to say the NDP got a free ride, because nothing gets dumped into your lap.

We live on eight per cent of the tax base and we deliver the bulk of the direct local service.” Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth was almost caught off guard by the numbers. “It’s amazing — that’s the only word that you can use to describe it. This is absolutely amazing,” he said. “I’ve never seen anything like this and it’s really quite a remarkable evening. So as New Democrats, we are quite ecstatic about the results.”

Missing senior’s body found in Port Coquitlam jmcfee@thenownews.com The body of a missing 75-year-old woman was found near the Port Coquitlam trail Saturday. Donna Rasmussen had been missing since April 26 when she left her Suffolk Avenue home for a walk. She was expected home by 4 p.m., and when she did not return, her daughter called the police. RCMP conducted a helicopter search of the area last Wednesday, and Coquitlam Search and Rescue combed both sides of the Coquitlam River the following day. Family members sought the public’s help in a volunteer search party planned for Saturday.

Port Coquitlam senior Donna Rasmussen went out for a walk on April 26, but never returned. Extensive searches of the city were conducted looking for the 75-year-old, and her family organized search parties to comb the area. Her body was found Saturday.

Then on April 30 at about 12:15 p.m., passersby discovered an elderly woman’s body off the PoCo trail, northeast of Shaughnessy Street and Lougheed Highway. Coquitlam RCMP later confirmed the body belonged to Rasmussen. According to police, the death does not appear to be suspicious and there are no indications of foul play at this time. “It was obviously a tragic ending to this incident and not what anyone was hoping for,” Const. Kristina Biro said. Victim Services is offering assistance to Rasmussen’s family, she added. The Coquitlam RCMP and the B.C. Coroners Service are continuing their investigation and an autopsy has been requested. www.twitter.com/jennifermcfee

No one’s voice should be stifled

At the corner of Mariner Way and Como Lake Avenue today, I noticed that all the election signs had been knocked flat, except the Conservative one, which was on a sturdy frame of twoby-fours. I knew it was To The a Conservative one because the incompetent who hung the NDP sign over it left a strip of Tory blue showing at the bottom. Now I dislike the appearance of these signs. They are unsightly, and they remind me that the only time my representative takes the time to communicate with me is

when he or she wants something from me. I can’t believe that the sorts of people who are impressed by the bright colours and sheer numbers of these signs are the sorts of people who vote anyway. Editor But until such time as there is legislation outlawing this occasional defacement of our public spaces, I will continue to condemn the stifling of freedom of speech that the damage to these signs represents. Canada is a democracy, and as such, it cherishes the free expres-

sion of different political views, with the necessary caution against hate speech. Politicians in Canada pay lip service to this concept, but seem to look the other way when their supporters become a little, shall we say, over-enthusiastic. If you are a believer in freedom of speech, you won’t find the likeminded among the current collection of political activists, and I urge the candidates at the next election, be it federal, provincial or municipal, to remind their supporters that, in Canada, nobody’s voice should be stifled. Graham Huckin Coquitlam

In one night, the political landscape in Canada has changed dramatically. Liberal Michael Ignatieff has resigned as leader after the Grits posted the most abysmal showing ever in the party’s history with a paltry 34 seats. The party must now reimagine itself and its leadership in order to survive. As one person remarked on a social media network on election night, the Bloc Québécois now has less seats than a family car. While Gilles Duceppe may have offered a parting separatist shot suggesting Quebec will soon be a free state, the sentiment rings hollow without such a strong showing at the polls. History was also made. The Green Party has its first Parliament seat — onequarter of the Bloc’s strength — and Elizabeth May should be congratulated on her Herculean task. Her presence on the national scene may add fresh ideas that could continue to shake up the political establishment in Ottawa. The NDP emerged as Canada’s Official Opposition, a task which cannot be taken lightly with the current makeup. The Conservatives have been given their first majority after its amalgamation with the Canadian Alliance of old. We are happy there will be stability in Parliament over four years, ending the succession of elections. It will be interesting to see what the changes will yield, as the Tories no longer require opposition approval to pass policy. Much work needs to be done. The electorate decided an entirely new Parliament must tackle those chores. This is an entirely new political game, and we hope Canadians will watch on with renewed interest.

has a strong, broad base of support throughout the province or the party. One of Dix’s political mentors, of course, is former premier Glen Clark, for whom he worked first as ministerial assistant and then as chief of staff in the premier’s office. I’ve always thought one of Clark’s big mistakes as premier was putting only those people who shared his class warrior views in key positions in government, either in the caucus or among staffers. As a result, whenever he made a mistake, the only people he would turn to were those who reinforced his views, rather than challenging them or changing them. It will be interesting to see if Dix makes the same mistake in the months ahead. Dealing with his caucus is one thing, but Dix already seems to have more potentially serious problems with a much larger group: the B.C. business community. Just after he won the NDP leadership, I was a panelist at a breakfast gathering in Vancouver to discuss the shifting political landscape. More than 100 people — mostly business leaders, political consultants and industry group representatives — attended and seemed to share a uniformly negative view of Dix, almost to the point of fearing him. Based on that breakfast talk, I think the NDP can forget about any hope of successfully “reaching out” to the business community. Then again, being the class warrior that he is, I doubt Dix has any plans to try that approach anyways.

Tax burden too high to be decided by 304 residents Re: “Fire hall vote results dismissed,” Friday, April 29. I have to say a special thank you to Port Moody Mayor Trasolini and the council members that voted down the bylaw authorizing the city to borrow up to $16 million for a new fire station. I disagree with Coun. Bob Elliott who said, “There isn’t a taxpayer in this city who didn’t know this vote was happening.” Obviously with the dismal turnout of less than 10 per cent of city residents voting, taxpayers were not adequately informed. We cannot have 304 Port Moody residents making the decision for over 21,551 eligible voters and imposing a substantial tax burden on these residents for the next 30 years. It is good to hear that the city will explore other options to reduce the borrowing costs for Fire Hall No. 1 including a new funding structure that would rely less on property tax hikes. Rosemary Small Port Moody

Kids get it, why not council? On Port Moody’s referendum voting day, I took my six-year-old daughter with me to the voting station. We talked about what voting is, how it works and what a responsibility and privilege it is. When we saw the results a day or two later, we noted the low voter turnout numbers, and she sagely commented, “Oh well, I guess those people just have to live with what other people pick.” Apparently, my six-year-old was able to concisely sum up what our elected councillors completely seemed to forget.

The referendum issue was covered in the local newspapers numerous times, in the Port Moody Focus mail-out from the city, another direct mailing from the city, the advance poll notices, as well as various social media outlets and the city’s website. For the odd person who claims they didn’t know about the referendum, I suspect that’s more of a statement of their general awareness than anything else. If people don’t turn out to vote for whatever reason the results still stand. People need to live To The with their actions, or in this case, inaction. As does council. Whatever the reason for the low turnout, Port Moody council’s decision to overrule the outcome of the referendum is shameful. As someone who voted in support of the borrowing of the funds to build the new fire hall, I was prepared to live with the financial tax burden. Similarly, I was prepared to live with the outcome of the vote if it went the other way, as all members in a democracy expect. What I do not expect is council to decide that the 9.2 per cent of people who chose to vote do not count. It seems now that certain council members already knew they didn’t want to borrow the funds, but didn’t have the courage to actually say no to the fire department. They instead advocated for a costly public referendum, hoping they could use the public to do their dirty work. And then the majority of those of us who turned out actually decided in favour of borrowing the funds. Kudos to the two councillors who acknowledged those of us who voted and were prepared to abide by the voters’ decisions. As for the rest of council, do not hold referendums if you are not prepared to live with the results.

As well, may you remember your words about being uncomfortable proceeding with “so little support” at municipal election time. At the last Port Moody municipal election, voter turnout was only 22 per cent. So when we get those same numbers in the fall, I expect you to step down since clearly you can't move forward with “so little support.” Now I have to go explain to my six-year-old what a farce the responsibility of voting just turned out to be. Alison Ferguson Editor Port Moody

Letters

Signs might have helped Perhaps the City of Port Moody would have had a better turnout for its referendum if it had taken a different approach to notifying and reminding us residents of this important vote. The pamphlet from the city weeks before, although full of the information I needed, could have ended up with other junk mail if I weren’t paying attention. After I received this, I did not see any reminders of any sort other than what is in the local papers or the city website. Perhaps they should have had large signs posted at main roads, like Clarke Road. There may have been something near the main fire hall, but I don’t live near there and didn’t have the need to drive in that area. Most people are busy and can’t always take the time to read newspapers and websites to keep themselves informed. Eric Philbrook Port Moody

results of the recent referendum for a new fire hall. To go through the effort and cost of a referendum, ask residents to get out and vote and then the majority of council cave in because they didn’t like the outcome because of low voter turnout is an affront to those like my wife and I who made the effort to vote. Shame on you. I applaud the decision of councillors Mike Clay and Bob Elliott. I don’t for one moment recall any pre-established conditions requiring a minimum turnout to make the results legitimate. If the voters’ decision is discarded out of hand so easily, then maybe we’ll think twice about voting in the future. With this being an election year do I smell political motivation?

Pesticide bylaw bogged down? John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com Coquitlam’s continued conversation about a cosmetic pesticide ban may not see a conclusion before council’s mandated deadline this summer. Coquitlam’s newly struck sustainability and environment committee met for the first time on April 28 to address the issue, though committee chair Coun. Linda Reimer isn’t sure the committee can sift through the information and offer policy direction before June 30. “There was an awful lot of things that we discussed and I really don’t know if we’re going to be ready in three meetings to get a good recommendation to council,” she said. “But we’ll have to see how the next meeting goes.” Reimer said last Thursday’s session covered the pros and cons around bans and how other municipalities enact and enforce those policies. One example that stuck out for Reimer was a policy instituted by the City of Richmond that involves city staff testing lawns for various pesticides and herbicides. “That is one way of enforcing of it,” she said. “So if your next door neighbour phones and complains to the city that you’ve used cosmetic pesticides, generally speaking we have to catch you in the act. But apparently in Richmond what they’re doing is they’re actually coming out and testing people’s lawns.” Whether or not to institute a ban on cosmetic pesticides was put to a council vote in early March, though the issue was ultimately referred to the nine-person sustainability committee to study the matter. One of the caveats of referring it to that committee, however, was the provision that the group report back to council one way or another by June 30. The committee will meet again on May 18. “We’re hoping to get some sort of consensus built at that meeting around a cosmetic pesticide ban and if we choose to go that way, an implementation process,” Reimer said. “If we don’t choose to go that way, perhaps there might be some alternate form of a ban.” Coquitlam is looking for feedback on the issue prior to the committee’s next meeting. Residents can submit their comments via e-mail to mwoerler@coquitlam.ca before Friday, May 6.

serve as a blueprint for all Metro Vancouver municipalities to compare best practices, in an effort to get to 70-per-cent waste diversion by 2015 and 80 per cent diversion by 2020. “If you want to compare us to the rest of Canada, we’re doing quite well,” Moore said, noting that the Canadian average for waste diversion is 22 per cent.

Coquitlam goes to non-binding arbitration over strategy

Parking now free at B.C. parks This is one parking cost announcement that shouldn’t get a pass. Premier Christy Clark and Environment Minister Terry Lake kicked off B.C. Parks centennial celebrations Tuesday, which included an announcement that parking will now be free in all provincial parks to encourage families to take advantage of the parks system. “The parking meters are coming out and parking will be free, effective immediately, so that British Columbia’s parks are even more welcoming for families,” Clark said in a release. “Our parks not only contribute to a healthy lifestyle and protect our environment, they are important to our economy. “More park visitors mean more tourism dollars and more jobs for rural British Columbians and we want to eliminate any barriers to using the parks.” The province also announced a $500,000 community legacy program to support communities celebrating the centennial. The funding will be used to improve parks across the province. Community groups can apply for up to $20,000 for projects like trail enhancements, improvements that support recreational activities or conservation of a park’s ecology or cultural history. “B.C. Parks are a part of who we are,” said Lake. “They help define us as British Columbians, and show that we care deeply about our environment and our planet.” For information about programs and locations, check out www.bcparks.ca.

Coquitlam can claim a small victory in its ongoing saga with Metro Vancouver and its regional growth strategy. The provincial government ordered non-binding arbitration last week between the city and the regional authority to find some middle ground on the concerns that has prevented Coquitlam from signing off on the document. Coquitlam remains the last municipality to agree to the wide-reaching planning document, one that requires unanimous approval from all 24 member municipalities. The city’s concerns range from a lack of clarity and consistency, to the belief that the plan hands over too much

Veterans will be honoured this weekend for the 66th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. VE-Day took place on May 8, 1945, when the Second World War Allies formally accepted the surrender of the armed forces of Nazi Germany. According to Veteran Affairs Canada, more than 47,000 Canadians died as a result of the Second World War. This statistic includes 7,600 Canadians who died during the liberation of the Netherlands. The Coquitlam Legion will host local VE-Day events on Saturday, May 7. The day’s events will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the cenotaph in Blue Mountain Park. After that, everyone is invited to the Legion hall at 1025 Ridgeway Ave. Organizer Yetty Foulds said she’d like to let younger generations know what happened on VE-Day. “We’re trying to get as many people as possible. We’re going to have a veteran who liberated Europe together with somebody who was liberated to lay a wreath for it,” Foulds said. “We’re going to meet afterwards in the Legion hall for sharing stories. Everybody’s welcome.” For more information, contact Foulds at 604-939-1971.

Volunteers sought for Fingerling Fest A local environmental group is hoping the community can lend a hand — or a finger, as the case may be. The Port Moody Ecological Society is marking 20 years of the annual Fingerling Festival at Noons Creek Hatchery on Saturday, and is looking for volunteers to help out. The society has a list of volunteer duties required on its website, and people are encouraged to offer whatever assistance they can. Check out www.noonscreek.org for info.

Endurance crucial for emergency responders in national challenge at Coquitlam Centre John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com

ome of Canada’s most physically fit firefighters will descend upon Coquitlam this weekend to strut their stuff and raise money for local charity. The Coquitlam Firefit Championships are slated for Saturday, May 7 at Coquitlam Centre, and the fundraiser will feature more than 140 firefighters from coast to coast taking part in both individual and relay events over an obstacle “Your legs are killing course with you at the end of it, but six different you still have to drag stations. “It’s going the dummy 100 feet. to be a fesYou get the Jell-O legs.” tival-type atmosphere with tons of Craig Stewart food, prizes, Coquitlam Firefighter beers, giveaways and music,” said Craig Stewart, a Coquitlam firefighter who’s also helping to organize the event. “It’s going to be fun for the whole family and there will be all kinds of different types of fire trucks on display.” The first challenge in the event will see participants race up a tower consisting of 60 stairs while carrying 19 kilograms worth of fire hose. From there, the second tasks entail competitors hoisting up 21 kilograms of hose — referred to as a “doughnut roll” — from the ground up to the top of the tower. The third challenge, known as the forcible entry machine, simulates a chopping motion with an axe, while the fourth station requires competitors to run a 45-metre obstacle course around a series of fire hydrants. Once at the end of the course, contestants will have to pick a fully charged hoseline full of water and drag it 23 metres to the next station. “That was one of the tougher ones because the weight gets harder and harder as you’re dragging more and more hose behind you,” said Stewart. Station 5 sees a target-shooting contest of sorts, as each competitor will then aim the pres-

The most gruelling event comes last, as firefighters will finish up by dragging a 74-kilogram dummy 30 metres to the finish line. “That one is the killer. Your legs are killing you at the end of it, but you still have to drag the dummy 100 feet. You get the Jell-O legs,” said Stewart, adding that firefighters will glean their oxygen from a self-contained breathing apparatus for the duration of each of the six obstacles. Stewart said more than a dozen firefighters from Coquitlam Fire and Rescue will take part in Saturday’s events, and 130 other contestants from throughout North America are also expected to attend. On top of the races themselves, a beer garden, barbecue and silent auction will be offered up. Some of those silent auction prizes include

gift cards to restaurants in the Tri-Cities and in Vancouver, gym memberships, an upright exercise bike and Flight Centre gift certificates. Another big-ticket item is a fire academy tuition worth $7,000 that’s being donated by the firefighter instruction organization known as Smartfire. “If somebody wants to become a firefighter, they can come out and see the event and talk to the school about what it takes to be a firefighter and they can bid on that item,” Stewart said. “It’s a $7,000 prize, but we’ll be auctioning it off for way less than that.” All of the proceeds will be donated to the Coquitlam Firefighters Charitable Society, which helps local charities in Coquitlam and throughout the Tri-Cities.

May 1-7, 2011

Hoping for the best is NOT a plan

502 Columbia Street, New Westminster 604-526-4661

VISIT US TODAY FOR ALL YOUR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS NEEDS First Aid Kits • Flashlights • Water • Blankets • Candles & More

You won't believe what's in store! www.armyandnavy.ca

By deﬁnition, emergencies happen when we don’t expect them, and often when families are not together. Suddenly, you need to think about your kids at school or elderly parents across town. If phones don’t work, or some neighbourhoods aren’t accessible, what will you do? Having a family emergency plan will save time and make real situations less stressful.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY PLAN

• Safe exits from home and neighbourhood; • Meeting places to reunite with family or roommates; • Designated person to pick up children should you be available; • Contact persons close-by and out-of-town; • Health and insurance information; • Places for your pet to stay; • Risks in your region; • Location of your ﬁre extinguisher, water valve, electrical panel, gas valve and ﬂoor drain.

BASIC EMERGENCY KIT

You may have some of these basic emergency kit items already, such as a ﬂashlight, battery-operated radio, food, water and blankets. The key is to make sure they are organized, easy to ﬁnd and easy to carry (in a suitcase with wheels or in a backpack) in case you need to evacuate your home. Whatever you do, don’t wait for a disaster to heppen. Easy to Carry: Think of ways that you can pack your emergency kit so that you and those on your emergency plan can easily take the items with you if necessary. • Water: Two litres of water per person per day (include small bottles that can be carried easily in case of an evacuation order);

• Food: That won’t spoil, such as canned food, energy bars and dried foods (remember to replace the food and water once a year); • Manual can opener; • Flashlight and batteries; • Battery-powered or wind-up radio (and extra batteries); • First aid kit; • Special needs items: Prescription medications, infant formula or equipment for people with disabilities; • Extra keys: For your car and house; • Cash: Include smaller bills, such as $10 bills (travellers cheques are also useful) and change for payphones; • Emergency plan: Include a copy of it and ensure it contains in-town and out-of-town contact information.

RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL ITEMS

The basic emergency kit will help you get through the ﬁrst 72 hours of an emergency. In addition to this kit, we recommend you also have the following additional emergency supplies. Then you will be well-equipped for even the worst emergency situations. • Two additional litres of water per person per day for cooking and cleaning • Candles and matches or lighter (place in sturdy containers and do not burn unattended) • Change of clothing and footwear for each household member • Toiletries • Hand sanitizer • Toilet paper • Utensils •Garbage bags • Household chlorine bleach or water purifying tabales • Basic tools ªhammer, pliers, wrench, screwdrivers, work gloves, pocket knife) • Small fuel-operated stove and fuel • Whistle (to attract attention) • Duct tape.

Mayors’ CHAIR’S REPORT

Richard Rainey Chamber Chair

We have heard of the various “shop local” and “dine local” programs, where consumers are encouraged to source local produce close to their homes, or to dine at local establishments. Laudable initiatives, but we can’t lose sight of the fact that we can extend the “source local” concept to other areas of our lives. This recently came up when speaking to a client of mine frustrated with the cost of procuring Canucks playoff tickets. Even

without factoring in the additional cost of purchasing playoff tickets from the resale market, the cost to attend a playoff game starts at $115 per seat. Add in taxes, parking, a few hotdogs and drinks, and you’re conservatively looking at a $600 evening for a family of four. Now compare this to the cost of attending a local sports event. Our senior lacrosse team, the Adanacs, compete for the Mann Cup. At the Junior A level, the PoCo Saints and Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs challenge for the right to play for the Minto Cup. We have the Coquitlam Express junior hockey team, with its impressive roster of NHL alumni. Our local baseball teams have a proud history of success. And the list goes on. For the $600 that you would spend at a Canucks game, you

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT Michael Hind Executive Director

It has been another busy month at the Chamber. Amongst many other events, the Transportation Forum we co-hosted with Boulevard Casino at the Red Robinson Theatre was a great success. An abundance of solid information was presented to a large cross section of business owners and citizens on the three main transportation projects in the Pacific Reach Business Park and immediate areas. Although great strides are being made with the Port Mann Bridge/Highway 1 replacement and the King Edward overpass, the United Boulevard Connector is not proceeding as smoothly as was expected. TransLink is having a challenging time receiving the design approval from New Westminster with the residents in the area not seeming to want a new replacement to the old, one lane Bailey bridge. The Translink team is working diligently to come up with design options that will work for New West but time is beginning to run out.

Water damage has been increasing in frequency and severity over the past 10 years and now accounts for approximately 40% of all property insurance claims. Prevention is the best weapon; regular maintenance and inspection is the key at both your home and office. • Follow the maintenance recommendations on your hot water tank. Hot water tanks have a life expectancy of approximately 10 years but this depends on water quality use and maintenance. • Inspect all sinks, tubs, showers, toilets, dishwashers, washing machines, water filters and fridges for signs of water damage and wear and tear on a regular basis, perhaps every 3 months. Contact a

• Check appliance hoses for soft/ weak spots and kinks every 6 months. Replace the hoses with a better quality steel braided hose when they show wear and tear or every 5 years, whichever occurs first. Turn the tap to the washing machine off when not in use. Most hoses were not designed for constant household pressure of 70 pounds psi. A broken washing machine hose will release approximately 650 gallons of water each hour. • Turn off the water supply to the fridge, dishwasher, water filtration system and any other water appliance when you leave home for more than a couple of days. • Water sensors can be used to prevent damage. They can either sound an alarm or they can shut the water off to the dwelling. Some new models do not require hard wiring or plumbing. They simply attach to the faucet. Ask your local plumbing supply centre for assistance.

could easily stay in the Tri-Cities, catch a world class lacrosse, hockey or baseball game, dine at one of our fantastic restaurants, and then watch the Canucks game at one of our local establishments (where your bill will probably be less than parking at the Canucks game). And you’ll have money to spare – lots of it. And the same concept applies to almost anything else. The

• Keep drains clean. Dirty drains are more likely to back up or break. Older homes and buildings are more likely to have damaged drainage systems from silting, shifting and other ground and vegetation issues. TV/Video Pipe Inspections are the first step to resolving and preventing drainage problems. • Always consult a professional before doing any repairs. • Maintenance of your home is critical. If your pipes are old they need to be updated before they start to rust and leak. Insurance polices will pay for any resulting water damage but they will not pay to fix and update old piping. The insurance experts at Mardon Insurance Brokers (Coquitlam) would be pleased to review your insurance requirements or answer any questions.

Chamber Members Kudos & Congratulations! Congratulations to METRO FORD in Port Coquitlam for being awarded the PRESIDENT’S AWARD by Ford Motor Company of Canada Limited. This highest dealership honour, is presented annually to those dealerships who demonstrate outstanding achievement in sales & customer satisfaction. The Volunteer Recognition Awards Gala was held on April 12, with MARILYN SANDER from TROPHY CENTRE receiving an award for ARTS, HERITAGE AND CULTURAL AWARENESS. Congrats Marilyn!

earmarked for the project ($65 million) will be forfeited and we unfortunately will be back to square one! If you have ever driven along Columbia and Brunette Avenue between McBride Blvd. and Braid, you know what a bottle-

neck that can be. The United Boulevard Connector will help to move much of that traffic through the area more efficiently rather than having it sit in the current log jam which we have come to know as “rush hour in New Westminster”. Here’s hoping one of the three design proposals put forward by TransLink

meets the approval of the representatives of New Westminster. This remaining area is an important link in the project aimed to help the region expedite the existing traffic woes we have all become too familiar with. michaelh@tricitieschamber.com

Skin Care:

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, it’s important to start thinking of thoughtful ideas within your budget. Before you head to the mall to splurge on something she doesn’t need, consider these ideas that won’t cost you a small fortune: • Nail Polish. Bottles of nail polish range from $5 to $15 dollars depending on the brand you buy. For those wanting to spend a little more, why not pamper mom with a manicure or pedicure so she can relax and take time for herself. • Eco–friendly tote bag. For $2 a piece, you can as-

semble a collection of cute, small, and inexpensive reusable enviro–carriers. These portable little bags can even ﬁt in mom’s purse. Every time she uses it she will think about you and best of all, it will show that she is environmentally savvy. • A charitable gift donation. You can choose a gift perfectly suited for your mom and write a card in her honour. Is your mom a teacher? Purchase school supplies for children in Africa. Is she a gardener? Purchase a garden seed kit for a farmer in Latin America. Is she a stay at home mom? Purchase a loan for a mom in India so she can start her own small business.

MOTHER’S DAY

How to express gratitude simply but sincerely

Saturday, May 14, 2011 • 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm Tri-Cities Newest Wine Festival

including Craft Beers, Summer Beverages & Local Restaurant tastings.

Saying “thank you” It’s worth knowing that even a clumsy “thank you” can often be the brightest spot in someone else’s day. “It’s true that a well–timed expression of gratitude can be an extremely powerful force,” says Dino Caporiccio at Storck Canada. “Experts tell us that any gesture of appreciation triggers energy in a positive headspace.”

Presented by

Tickets $45 available at Guest Services.

Here are a few tips to make your heartfelt gesture a success every time:

Or purchase tickets online at coquitlamcentre.com/unwined.

• Remind yourself about the most outstanding quality in the person receiving your thanks.

*Stores will be closed during event.

• Think about the nicest thing anyone ever said to you — and see if something similar ﬁts.

Must be 19 years of age or older to attend.

• Tell the person that their act of kindness went far beyond expectations and how good it made you feel.

SOUL SHAKE Wednesday, May 4, 2011

SOUNDS of MOTOWN

are drifting to Coquitlam

Dance to the sweet sounds of soul music with some of the most seasoned session musicians in the country at SOUL SHAKE. Musical enthusiasts wanting to feel good about a night on the town should “Get It On” at the Red Robinson Show Theatre May 7th and experience a stellar night of entertainment. Inspired by the critically acclaimed ﬁlm “Standing In The Shadows Of Motown” over 25 hot-shot Canadian vocalists, backed by a scorching 12-piece band will heat up the room each bringing to their solo tune their own style and talent! The Motown songbook is as familiar to most people as nursery rhymes; “I Heard It Through The Grapevine”, “Dancing In The Street”, “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone” - you can barely say the titles without singing them. There is something timeless about what came out of Motor City in the 60’s. Just ask Amy Winehouse.

Score Card

Wolves, Gunners to battle in B.C. Cup semifinal Although they’ve never met on the pitch, the rivalry of the Port Moody under-21 Gunners and the Coquitlam Metro-Ford junior Wolves has almost taken on legendary status. The two clubs have dominated their respective circuits and even carried that over to Provincial Cup success, but remained the proverbial ‘ships that pass in the night.’ Until this Sunday, that is. The u-21 Doug Day Cup semifinals — the Provincial Cup — will see Port Moody host Coquitlam, 4 p.m. at the Port Moody Centre turf. “Most of the players would have played against each other some point during their youth years, and we’ve come close but missed out,” noted Gunners assistant coach Bob Favelle. “No doubt both teams are ready for this and there will be a lot of emotion.” Port Moody advanced to the semifinal by blanking Gordon Head 2-0 last week, with Steven Causier’s penalty kick just eight minutes into the contest standing up as the decisive goal. Collecting a second half tally was Jason Yoo, while 17-year-old Tyler Shaw was full marks for the shutout. The Wolves, meanwhile, were hammering out a 5-1 win over another Lakehill FC, getting a pair of markers from Vaughn Andrews. Rounding out the offence were Chad DeBoer, Alex Hofer and Lucas Reese. As the reigning B.C. champions, Coquitlam was anticipating some tough tests along the way. Drawing Port Moody — the 2009 Provincial Cup champs — presents a special challenge, midfielder Roberto Ramogida Jr. said. “It almost feels like a final for us, we’ve been wanting to play them since last year.” That the rivalry has grown despite never having played, with Coquitlam in the Vancouver metro league and Port Moody belonging to the Fraser Valley circuit, says something about the long established battles at the youth level. “A lot of us know each other through club and school so it’s a big rivalry even though we haven’t actually played each other,” Ramogida said. The Gunners won their two preliminary tests by a combined 4-1 margin, while Coquitlam outscored its opponents 10-1. “I don’t think either of us will head into this overconfident by any means,” Favelle added. “These are two strong teams so its anybody’s game.” At the premier level, the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Wolves were eliminated from the Provincial Cup playdowns in a 1-0 overtime loss to Delta United.

Express size up full camp of prospects Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com A huge turnout was the first hint. In a camp where 168 teenagers were working their hardest to impress, the biggest smiles belonged to Coquitlam Express management. The B.C. Hockey League club held its prospect camp on the weekend at the Burnaby Winter Club, running young men ages 16-19 through their paces. For the club, the best part of the camp wasn’t the number of players that attended, but the quality. “It was a great weekend, and in my years in the league I can’t recall having this kind of depth of talent at a [prospects] camp before,” Coquitlam general manager and president Darcy Rota said. “Besides filling up early and having waiting lists at all positions, what impressed me the most was the calibre of play.” As the club prepares for its second season in the Coquitlam Sports Centre, last year’s record and achievement has become less of a floor than a starting point for expectations in 2011-12. It isn’t just about improving on last year’s 22-28-1-9 mark, but continue on the upward path to challenge the likes of the Powell River Kings, the Surrey Eagles and the defending Royal Bank champion Vernon Vipers. Head coach Jon Calvano said just making the playoffs can’t be considered as a big success for an organization that once won the national title (in 2006) and has helped produce such NHLers as Milan Lucic, Andrew Ladd, David Jones and Kyle Turris. “A big priority is in evaluating not just new talent, but also our returning players to see if they are capable of moving up to fill those roles, and go from scoring 20-30 points to 70,” Calvano said. Despite coming into camp last year with less time and fewer eligible Larry Wright/NOW returning players, Calvano said that IMMOVEABLE OBJECTS: The competitive juices were flowing Saturday and Sunday at the Coquitlam nothing really has changed.

so why should your flip-flops be

WITHOUT SUPPORTIVE FLIP-FLOPS

WITH SUPPORTIVE FLIP-FLOPS

SOLE supportive flip-flops are wear moldable and orthopaedically designed. Their unique anatomical shape supports your arches while cradling and cushioning your feet. This creates a continuous contact point across the soles of your feet, leaving no area unsupported. It all adds up to a superior fit, with unrivaled support and comfort. Visit us and try the most comfortable flip-flops you have ever worn, guaranteed.
