Mike Farnworth wasn’t about to drop any hints about renewing his leadership aspirations two days after his party’s shocking defeat. The five-time PoCo MLA declined to speculate on the future of NDP party leader Adrian Dix, or whether he would again choose to seek the party’s top job should Dix step down. Farnworth ran against Dix for the party’s leadership in 2011 and lost by just under 700 votes. “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,” he said Thursday.

“Right now, we’ve got to meet as a caucus, Adrian has got to decide what he’s going to do and then we’ll go from there.” Farnworth described his party’s showing on Tuesday as “incredibly disappointing,” but offered little in the way of an explanation. “The media, the pollsters, the pundits and even on the doorstep, the expectation was that we were going to form government, so it’s a big shock,” he said. “That’s something that we’re going to have to look at over the coming weeks. We’ll meet as a caucus and I’m sure this election is going to be dissected 25 different ways to Sunday.”

As for his own riding, Farnworth cruised to a win Tuesday night, capturing 10,588 votes, or 52.65 per cent.

Missing teen returns with a story BOY’S MOTHER SAYS HE CAMPED OUT FOR WEEKS IN POCO, ON VANCOUVER ISLAND

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com Every day for three weeks, Marie Delagiraudais would sit on the balcony of her Port Coquitlam home, hoping her son Dominique would show up. On Tuesday, he did just that, following a three-week disappearance that left his mother an emotional wreck and police and rescue officials desperately searching to find him. “I just got up, I just ran to him and gave him a hug,” Marie told the Tri-Cities NOW a day after her son returned home. “I was just so happy he was home.” Just like that, the teen’s adventure had come to an end. While Marie said she’s trying not to pry too many details from her son, she does know a little about what the 16-year-old was up to during the 23 days he was MIA.

Dominique Delagiraudais was considered missing for three weeks. Dominique apparently got around fairly well, spending time in the woods on Vancouver Island, parts of

PoCo and Wreck Beach in Vancouver. Marie said her son encountered a bear at some point on

SUBMITTED PHOTO

the trip, but it was his time at the popular nudist beach near UBC that turned out to be his most dangerous.

Dominique told his mom he was carving wood with a group of First Nations carvers late into the evening when his hand slipped, slicing through two fingers. He eventually made his way to Vancouver General Hospital to get patched up. Unbeknownst to staff, the patient was a missing person. “All my worries were real,” Marie said, noting her son seemed to get around by foot or by bus. Dominique disappeared April 21 after having an argument with his mom, but she said he wasn’t in a “bad state” when he left. In the days that followed, family members and RCMP tried to get the word out to the public, in hopes he would be found. Dominique was said to be a big fan of the TV show Survivor Man, and had been stockpiling outdoor survivalist gear in recent years.

The assumption was the boy was somewhere in the woods. Marie said her son had no idea people were looking for him, nor how worried his own mother was, up until this week. She said he decided to come home after learning that he was considered missing. As for why he took off in the first place, Marie surmised her son was going through a stage where he wanted to “find himself” and gain some independence. Other than the cut to his hand, Dominique is said to be doing well and happy to be home. The teen also appears to have learned a bit of a lesson. Marie said he’s insisting from now on he’ll call and let her know where he is at all times. twitter.com/jertricitiesnow

The anatomy of a successful campaign LINDA REIMER DELIVERS AN UPSET

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com Patrick O’Connor’s desk, tucked away in the back of Linda Reimer’s campaign office on St. Johns Street, looks like one inhabited by a man who hasn’t had much time to organize. Loose papers and a couple of empty bottles of water fill the space around a warm laptop. The desk itself was left behind by the office’s previous tenants and looks about as worn as the walls surrounding the furniture. But as the commander behind Reimer’s election campaign, O’Connor — still scruffy from having worked weeks of 16-hour days — has been too busy to notice, helping pull off one of the bigger upsets on election night. Reimer knocked off Port Moody-Coquitlam NDP incumbent Joe Trasolini by more than 500 votes, on a night where everything went the Liberals’ way. To the outsider and perhaps even both candidates, the election results might have been a surprise, but not to O’Connor. A few weeks before the vote, he started to see a shift. A volunteer with the Liberal Party hired to handle the campaign, O’Connor said Reimer’s votes started to solidify. The data was showing the undecided voters in the riding were moving to the Liberal camp. He suggested the shift was due in part to Premier Christy Clark’s 30-minute TV spot as the campaign kicked off, and the NDP leader’s stance on the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal. He also got an inkling things were starting to go Reimer’s way once he saw the num-

By Election Day, O’Connor figured his candidate would squeak out a victory by about 600 votes. But people working Reimer’s campaign believe there were other factors that propelled the candidate to victory. O’Connor explained the team, which had a core group of volunteers, ran what he called a textbook “old fashioned” campaign using simple hard work. The basic principal behind a campaign is to find supporters and ask them for their vote, and that comes by way of door knocking, phone calls, or meetings.

It was an effort that started three months prior to the polls closing. O’Connor credited Reimer for her hard work and essentially becoming the face of the campaign. “You know your voters are out there, you’ve got to find them and the candidate is the best person to find them and connect with them,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. By the end, the campaign team and the candidate were putting in 16-hour days. And on Election Day, all the information collected over the weeks and months is applied in reverse. In Reimer’s case, it was a core of about 70 volunteers spending the day phon-

ing, door knocking, and even offering rides to identified voters. “It’s almost military,” O’Connor said of the campaign, noting you plan, build a team and To see election- deploy into the field. “Once someone tells night video, you they’re a supportdownload the er, you need to do what free Layar you can to get them to app to your the polls.” smartphone and O’Connor said data scan this page from polling stations on Tuesday had Reimer and Trasolini in a dead heat. He credited both candidates for getting supporters out to the polls Tuesday. Even as the final ballot boxes were being filled, Reimer was busy on the phone calling any last-minute possible voters. When the dust settled, the Liberal challenger had beat her opponent, picking up 8,915 votes compared to 8,372 for Trasolini. The former Port Moody mayor won the riding in a byelection in 2012, picking up 54 per cent of the vote. Exactly where in the riding Reimer got her support is still unclear. Elections BC, which collects the data, won’t be releasing poll-by-poll numbers until the final vote count at the end of May. On Wednesday, the campaign was over. But not quite for O’Connor and his team. Through next week, he and the rest of the volunteers will stay busy tearing down campaign headquarters. “We have to get rid of a whole bunch of twoby-fours,” he joked. “Know anyone who needs two-by-fours?

A closer look at the election numbers

Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com While the dust on election night has settled, leaving the BC Liberals with an even bigger majority than last term, the official numbers from Tuesday’s vote won’t be finalized until after May 27. That’s the day Elections BC starts to count the absentee votes. Sometime after, poll-by-poll results and voter turnout numbers in each riding will also be provided by the agency. Until then, the preliminary results are the best source to see what Tri-Cities voters were thinking on election night. According to the preliminary results, in Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, a total of 17,485 votes were cast. Liberal incumbent Doug Horne took the riding garnering 8,868 votes, or 50.72 per cent of the vote. He was followed by NDP candidate Chris Wilson with 6,420 votes (36.72 per cent), Green Party candidate Ron Peters finished third with 1,010 votes (5.78 per cent), BC Conservative candidate Shane Kennedy received 941 votes (5.38 per cent) while Libertarian Paul Geddes finished last with 231 votes (1.41 per cent). There were 36,473 registered voters in the riding. In Coquitlam-Maillardville, a total of 19,670 votes were cast for the three candidates.

Liberal candidate Steve Kim received 9,044 votes or 45.98 per cent, while NDP candidate Selina Robinson received 8,939 votes (45.44 per cent), and Green candidate Edward Stanbrough picked up 1,687 votes (8.58 per cent). There were 38,057 registered voters in the riding. In Port Coquitlam, a total of 20,109 votes were cast for five candidates. NDP candidate Mike Farnworth received the majority of votes at 10,588 or 52.65 per cent, Liberal candidate Barbara Lu got 7,412 votes (36.86 per cent), BC Conservative candidate Ryan Hague got 1,377 votes (6.85 per cent), Brent Williams of YPP received 407 votes (2.02 per cent), while Libertarian candidate Jogender Dahiya finished last with 325 votes (1.62 per cent). There were 38,458 registered voters in the riding. In Port Moody-Coquitlam, a total of 19,029 votes were cast for four candidates. Liberal candidate Linda Reimer won the riding picking up 8,915 votes (46.85 per cent), NDP incumbent Joe Trasolini received 8,372 votes (44 per cent), Green Party candidate Billie Helps netted 1,527 votes (8.02 per cent), while Libertarian candidate Jeff Monds finished in last with 215 votes (1.13 per cent). There were 36,976 registered voters in the riding.

The upset of the night Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com After spending a year draped in orange, the Port Moody-Coquitlam riding is back in the hands of Liberal blue. In what proved to be major upset, Liberal Linda Reimer took down NDP incumbent Joe Trasolini on election night, winning the seat by 543 votes. Following her victory, the outgoing Coquitlam city councillor said she’s still trying to absorb the events of what she described as a “roller coaster” evening. “We were all very focused on winning,” Reimer told the Tri-Cities NOW, admitting she knew the race would be tough. “We were very concerned about the polls, but we were focused on running a great campaign and I think we succeeded in doing that.” She also noted the results of last year’s Alberta election, where the governing Conservatives came back to win a majority, as an example of how fortunes can turn around during a campaign. The newly elected MLA also credited her party’s leader, Christy Clark, for helping turn the party around and

leading it to victory. As for her role as an MLA, Reimer said she has a steep learning curve ahead, adding she won’t have any aspirations of a cabinet post until she learns more about her job. She did point out her background as a city councillor gives her a good understanding of local issues, which she expects to bring to the table provincially. On the losing side, Trasolini said he has no regrets about his campaign, but did suggest the low voter turnout hurt his chances at winning. “Obviously people in B.C. did not embrace change,” he said, arguing the negative ads by the Liberals throughout the campaign appeared to work. Trasolini made an easy transition from mayor to MLA in the 2012 byelection, winning with 6,247 votes, or 54 per cent of the vote. But the popular mayor learned the hard way general elections are a much different animal, as he picked up just 44 per cent of the vote Tuesday night. Despite the results, Trasolini said he was most disappointed by the low voter turnout, noting as an MLA his office was always full of

people with issues, but when given a chance to express their voice, they appeared to stay home. As for his future, he hinted he’d like to stay in politics, but made no commitments. “I live life to the fullest. Whatever life will bring I will accept,” he said. And watching from the sidelines was a proud Iain Black, the former Liberal MLA who held the seat before stepping down in 2011 to take a job with the Vancouver Board of Trade. He stopped by Reimer’s campaign office late Tuesday night to offer congratulations. Black said her victory is a testament to the difference the sheer effort of a candidate can make in the outcome of an election, adding no one worked harder on the campaign besides the premier than Reimer. Black said he found it interesting to watch the election from the sidelines, noting his job precludes him from participating. He told the Tri-Cities NOW he misses the work as an MLA, but not the lifestyle, pointing out he was able to put his kids to bed on election night.

“

A creative learning environment can impact the way students think

-Sonja Kennedy

”

Arts-Infusion Brings Education to Life ■ A growing body of educational research indicates stu-

dents in Kindergarten are far more creative than students in Grade 12 – even going so far as calling Kindergarteners ‘creative geniuses’. Any parent trying to navigate through the imaginary play of their five year old can likely attest to that! Sir Ken Robinson, an international expert on education, addresses the conundrum of ‘teaching out’ creativity in one of his TED Talks titled ‘Do Schools Kill Creativity’? The unfortunate data seems to indicate that yes, this is in fact what may be taking place in many schools today. In response, Arts-Infused learning, an approach to education that allows students to tap into their creativity to better connect with their subject matter, is gaining momentum across Canada. Urban Academy, a JK-Grade 12 independent school in New Westminster is a leader in this approach to education. “Arts-Infusion does not mean that we are simply a ‘fine arts school’” explains Sonja Kennedy, Urban Academy’s Admissions Director “rather, we teach using the arts – drama, music and fine arts – as tools through which students can truly connect to the core curriculum.” A Queen’s University Study ‘Learning Through The Arts’ concluded that involvement in the arts contributed to student achievement as much as 11 percentile points higher in math

than their peers, as arts experience helps develop more complex neural networks in the brain. Beyond simply the academic achievement, a creative learning environment can impact the way students think, problem solve and increase self-conﬁdence, all skills will serve them well as they continue through post-secondary education and into their careers. With the world changing at such a rapid pace, it is the responsibility of the school not only to teach curriculum, but to equip students with the ability to think creatively, and approach challenges with the critical skills that will allow them to thrive in an unknown future. Urban Academy is rising to this challenge by educating students with interdisciplinary linkages. Math and Art are taught through projects such as replications of Piet Mondrian’s Neo Plastic art, Social Studies and Media Arts are combined resulting in historical screenplays, and French is taught largely through the performing arts to enhance conversational skills. The result is an engaging education that truly resonates with students.

Parents are finding their way to Urban Academy with an excitement about what the future holds for their children. “Our enrollment is up so significantly that we will be opening our new, senior campus in September to meet the demands of the community” explains Kennedy. With the increased space, Urban Academy is making a bold move of offering seven full-ride Expansion Scholarships for students entering Grades 8-11 in September. “We are so excited to have the physical space to finally be able to open up spaces for scholarships to students who want to connect with their learning in a creative environment, and to be able to give back to a community that has supported us”. More information on the scholarship program can be found at www.urabanacademy.ca.

Seven Urban Academy Expansion Scholarships Available! • Do you enjoy learning about things in a way that brings them to life and connects them to the real world? • Do you like being creative in your exploration of ideas and presentation of information? • Would you like more attention from your teachers, and really be a part of what you are learning? Then you could be one of Urban Academy’s newest students… for free! You could receive a scholarship to a growing school that approaches education through real world concepts and uses the arts as tools through which to explore. Urban Academy is excited to offer a once in a lifetime opportunity for seven students entering into Grades 8-11 in September 2013.

Dissecting the results

o pollsters have any credibility? Are attack ads the way to go? Did the Liberals just get more supporters out to the polls than the NDP? These and other questions are being asked as we digest what, for most, was a shocking election night, both in the Tri-Cities and right across B.C. Locally, we started out with three NDP ridings and one Liberal, numbers that are now reversed. In Coquitlam-Maillardville, first-time Liberal candidate Steve Kim knocked off well-known city councillor and NDPer Selina Robinson, thought by most to be a shoe-in. In Port Moody-Coquitlam, most observers thought NDP incumbent Joe Trasolini would sail into another term, but Liberal Linda Reimer sunk that idea. Results in the other two ridings, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, were less of a shock. Mike Farnworth held onto PoCo for the lone NDP win in the Tri-Cities, while Doug Horne kept Coquitlam-Burke Mountain firmly in Liberal territory, despite the high profile of NDP challenger Chris Wilson. Overall, though, few had predicted a Liberal majority. We heard for at least a month that it was NDP leader Adrian Dix’s “election to lose,” which he did, spectacularly. His Mr. Nice Guy campaign was a bust, which shows that as much as some people rail against negative, “Americanstyle” attack ads, they work. If the other side is focused on your faults, real or imagined, and you’re not focused on theirs, you’re probably going to lose. In the sound-bite and photo-op driven world we live in, charisma also counts for a lot. Christy Clark has it. Adrian Dix doesn’t. Charisma doesn’t lead to better decisions, but it does help you get your message across. In tough economic times, people vote with their wallets. Increasingly, though, the party in power is irrelevant, as global forces determine local conditions. But the Liberals were smart enough to know the economy was the issue to focus on. The NDP weren’t, and it cost them the election.

Mom, I want to get a tattoo WHY THOSE WORDS DON’T HAVE TO BE FRIGHTENING

magine that you’re a parent to a teenager. One day, they come up to you and they look a bit nervous, a little antsy, a little bit off. You’re dreading what they’re about to say. Failed a test? Has a secret boyfriend? Broke your brand new iPhone 47? “Can I get a tattoo?” Oh no. What? Why? Where? When? … Who? “Me. I want a tattoo on myself.” Oh right. But now rethink this; is it really such a big deal? I have a tattoo; I got it on spring break of Grade 11. I was 16 years old. I had thought about getting a tattoo for a while. Then I thought about it more seriously for a few months. I asked my mom if I could get one and she said that she’d think about it, and then I thought about it a bit more too. I’m not a very impulsive person, and I like to think through and plan everything first, which is what I did, over and over again. Until I decided that I was ready. I did some convincing with my mom first, about how it’s my own body, it’s my own decision, if I regret it then it’s my own fault. But she was fine with it from the beginning. Maybe it was because what I wanted was just a small peace sign on my wrist. If it was some kind of giant manbearpig covering my back then I probably wouldn’t have gotten the parental consent signature. The catch with teenage tattoos is that most tattoo places have a lot of strict guidelines to follow. You usually have to be older than 16 with parental consent and the tattoo has to be somewhere easily hidden. My dad and I went to three different

tattoo places before I could get mine because I wanted it on my wrist. It might have something to do with them thinking teenagers are not thinking through their tattoos all the way and they don’t want them to have this drawing on their skin haunting them for the rest of their life where everyone can see it. I do agree that sometimes teens don’t think things through completely and do a lot of dumb stuff, but so do a lot of adults, so that’s not a very valid argument. Just because teenage brains are still developing, it doesn’t mean the brain doesn’t work at all. The whole deal with tattoos is that they’re there FOREVER. If you mention that you want a tattoo to anyone,

they’ll be sure to remind you it’s there FOREVER, as if you didn’t know that for some reason. But for me, I don’t even notice it. It’s right in front of me and I barely even look at it. People always tell me “I keep forgetting you have a tattoo. That’s so awesome.” And, yes, I am very awesome but that’s not the point. The point is that once you have it, it becomes part of you. It’s just like looking at yourself in the mirror and saying “Hey, I have a face.” It’s there, you know it’s there, I’m sure most people would understand that, yes, you do have a face. But it’s not like you’re thinking “I have a face” all the time. It’s just a fact but it’s forgotten because it’s not important. It’s only remembered if you actually think about it — just like any tattoos that you get, which will eventually become fancy birthmarks to you.

LETTERS DID YOUNGER (NON)VOTERS DECIDE THIS ELECTION?

Fumbling to explain the massive gap between polls predicting an NDP win and the reality of Tuesday night’s larger majority for the Christy Clark Liberals, Angus Reid Public Opinion spokesperson Mario Canseco cites the NDP’s inability to excite younger British Columbians. He reported that polls gave the NDP a 2:1 lead over the Liberals among voters 18 to 34. “If that young vote decides not to show up, you’re kissing goodbye to a third of your base, and that’s exactly what happened,” he said. This doesn’t come as a surprise to the Generation Squeeze campaign. Our pre-election study showed both the Liberal and NDP platforms promised to grow spending for retirees at a rate that far outpaces investments in younger generations, who disproportionately face the squeeze of lower wages and high housing prices. We therefore anticipated it would be difficult for either of the two major political parties to motivate the under-45 demo-

graphic to turn out. B.C.’s 2013 election results confirm that many in the younger generations will continue to opt out of the political process when there is little choice between incumbent and opposition on issues that speak directly to the squeeze on Gens X, Y and their kids. This insight has serious implications for parties in and out of power in jurisdictions across Canada. To begin with, while it may not be good for our democracy, one can understand why parties in power don’t feel the need to court the youth vote. They are winning without it. Tuesday night’s results show Christy Clark ran a masterful campaign emphasizing the rhetoric of growth and debt reduction to sell a platform which, by the numbers, will increase income taxes and corporate taxes to pay for increased spending — predominantly on seniors. With just half of British Columbians voting, she increased her party’s seats in the legislature on the basis of a mandate from around one-quarter of citizens … of which the largest block is over 55. Despite the BC NDP’s message of change under leader Adrian

Dix, analyzing the numbers by age demonstrates that his party offered much of the same platform as the Liberals: higher income and corporate taxes to pay for more spending, but very little of it on younger generations. Clearly, that was not the kind of change for which Gens X and Y were looking for themselves or their young kids (although they are pleased to see an ongoing commitment toward the health of their parents and grandparents!). The BC NDP will remain in opposition at least in part because they failed to prioritize the changes needed and wanted by younger generations. Opposition political parties seeking different outcomes across the country would be wise to learn from this outcome. On the road from opposition to government, leaders must compete more for the votes of those who currently elect not to participate. Incumbents are being re-elected to power because they consistently win more support from the older part of the population who show up. This suggests the path from opposition to government may be less about convincing voters to shift their support from one party to another, and more about shift-

ing young people from abstaining to voting. The BC NDP did not embrace this logic. Their effort to sell change “one practical step at a time” didn’t excite many in Generation Squeeze to opt back into the political process. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Bold, not incremental, adaptations are required to excite those who are struggling with wages that are down four bucks an hour despite having more post-secondary education, and paying housing prices that are far, far higher than what they were in the mid1970s. In sum, opposition parties across Canada that aspire to a better fate than the BC NDP should pay attention to the scale of the challenges facing Gens X, Y and their kids — and design their platforms accordingly. Only then can we expect a greater proportion of younger generations to opt back into the voting process. And only then are opposition parties likely to translate large leads in the polls into large majorities in the legislature.

PoCo trail reopens after closure to be closed until maintenance and liability issues were addressed. The band had hoped to get funding to maintain the trail from the province’s dike authority, but plans fell through. The city had a three-year agreement with the band to maintain and repair the dike, but it ended in February. Under the agreement, PoCo would maintain the dike through the reserve, provide signs on the trail, two picnic tables and an ad in the spring parks and recreation brochure promoting the band’s tour and bike rental business. Band officials noted the new agreement gives them a bigger say and control to make sure the work is being done.

PoCo sides with Cat & Fiddle on hours John KURUCZ

NEW EXHIBIT NOW OPEN

jkurucz@thenownews.com PoCo council is backing the Cat & Fiddle Pub’s push to extend its hours, despite hearing residents express concerns over noise and other issues. The pub’s owner, meanwhile, says the business addresses concerns whenever it hears of them.

We’ve always tried … to come up with reasonable solutions to deal with [issues]. –Brad Doncaster, Cat & Fiddle Pub A packed public hearing Monday saw about 20 people speak to the proposal, which would change the closing times for the Brown Street business from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The application will ultimately be decided by the province’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch. Four of the five people who spoke against the application live within metres of the pub, while the majority of the roughly dozen in favour of the extension live elsewhere. “People that don’t live right next door to it … other people have no idea what goes on there all the time,” said Brown Street resident Darrel Robertson. “Unless you live right next door to it, you [can’t] understand what’s going on, so what all these other people are saying means nothing.” Fellow Brown Street resident Amrit Gill said he’s concerned about noise. “Every Friday and Saturday night, you’ll hear loud noises, you’ll hear a ruckus, you’ll hear crowds outside, you’ll hear loud cars blaring their music — this does not go until 1 o’clock, it’ll go on until 1:30,” Gill said. Another speaker said nearby yards are being used as “public urinals.” However, Warwick Avenue resident Terry Stein said he’s lived in close proximity to the pub since it opened 30 years ago and has had “no problems the entire time.” Warwick was joined by a handful of past and present Cat & Fiddle staff lobbying on the pub’s behalf. Cat & Fiddle co-owner Brad Doncaster said the pub wants to address concerns. “We’ve always tried, when issues were brought to our attention, to come up with reasonable solutions to deal with them,” he said. He explained the extension is being sought to maintain competitiveness with bars in other municipalities that are open until 2 a.m. He suggested drinking and driving

Darrell Penner, who voted against the application alongside Coun. Mike Forrest. “I totally fail to see how opening a drinking establishment for another hour helps reduce drinking and driving,” he said. “I don’t understand that at all.” Councillors on the other side of the fence, however,

argued the pub’s reputation has improved in recent years, and extending its hours would help it remain competitive. “I believe this is part of a regional trend that we’re seeing throughout the Lower Mainland,” said Coun. Brad West. “If you look at all of our neighbours … Port Coquitlam is standing out as a bit of an anomaly with the 1 a.m. closing.” He added some concerns could be wrongly attributed to the bar, in the same way people attribute spikes in crime to a new homeless shelter or recovery home.

To see video of the suspect, download the free Layar app to your smartphone and scan this page owners have a video camera monitoring their property,” said RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung in a statement. It was also noted the detachment’s Prolific Target Team recognized the suspect. In the video released by RCMP, the suspect can be seen entering the vehicle through an unlocked door. He pulled his alleged crime off in about five seconds. It’s not clear if the man was arrested, as police did not provide that information. Chung said the incident should serve as a reminder for residents that they need to take steps to keep their property safe. “When bad guys know there are vehicles with unlocked doors in the area, they will come back for more,” he said. “Your unsecured vehicles become a crime attractant and other residents in the neighbourhood will probably become the next victims. It’s important to leave nothing for thieves to steal inside your vehicles and lock all your doors.” ••• They are neighbouring police forces that often share in their duties. Once again, the Port Moody Police Department and Coquitlam RCMP are teaming up, this time on social media. The two forces are planning to do a tweet-along today (Friday) as part of National Police Week. “The goal of the tweetalong is no different than what we are already doing on the street — it’s to connect with our communities,” said RCMP Cpl Jamie Chung in a statement. “The only difference is we are now also connecting with the people we serve in the digital world. This is a chance for us to show the public a glimpse of what police work is all about and to answer any questions about policing you’ve been waiting to ask.” Chung, along with RCMP Const. Michelle Luca, will start tweeting at 12:30 p.m., while Port Moody Police Sgt. Bradley Sheridan will join in the late afternoon/early evening. The three will be tweeting about different aspects of police work until around midnight. The hashtag for the event will be #pmcqtwt.

But for the majority of the middle act, it drags its feet, making the rather modest running time (105 minutes) feel mildly laborious. And yet something inside of me wants to love this movie so badly! Technically it is such a masterfully well-made picture. Nothing about this experiment is safe — the acting, cinematography, story and layered themes all lead to meditation on the intricacies and significance of the film. As a work of art it is astonishing; as a means of dramatic manipulation it is inconsistent and sometimes dull. Bahrani (who was called “the best new American director of recent years” by Roger Ebert in his review of this film) dissects America’s mentalities through the backdrop of the Iowa farmlands. His narrative centres on two American heroes: an up-andcoming NASCAR driver and a family farmer. Henry Whipple (Dennis Quaid) continues his family’s tradition of successful farming. “Don’t you lose what my daddy started,” he is told by his father. When he was younger he played football, but now he spends his time realizing his father’s dream of continuing

Henry is seen by his customers as a respectable and kind man. He is always teaching his children lessons. “If you fall off your horse you just get right back up,” he tells his youngest son, Dean. Dean (Zac Efron) is substantially similar to his father, though neither of them is willing to admit it. He is tired of farming and tired of living with his family. When his father offers him his own stake in the family farm he responds with something that infuriates his father to the bone and that reveals Henry’s true nature: “I’m not staying, Dad. I’m racing cars.” The Whipples are viewed

by their customers as the ideal nuclear American family. But reality is not in the perception of outsiders. Henry’s profusely overused clichés and signature smile become hauntingly empty when we learn of his actual motivations. In one powerful scene, Henry makes an appearance at a neighbouring farmer’s funeral only to buy the land for a bargain price off of the grieving family. Henry really just wants to buy land and sell seeds. Dean’s heroism is also illusory. He and his friends carelessly break into an auto shop and steal a high-end car part. Dean just wants to make it to the podium. The acting in this film is Oscar worthy. Efron and Quaid stunningly challenge the personas of their previous roles, making their actions in this film even more haunting and shocking. Quaid’s famous smile has never been used to such an eerie effect. It subtly evokes his outward likability and inward nefariousness. Efron’s innocence in films like Me and Orson Welles and High School Musical is also greatly challenged here, even though on the exterior his character appears to be similar to that of his earlier roles. Dean and Henry could have very easily become formulaic characters, but Bahrani’s vision enables us to get uncomfortably close with these men. He wants us to feel the moral crisis burning inside of them. And yet on my first viewing, all this talent never transformed into a consistent sense of entertainment value. There is the odd scene here and there that grabs your attention. But for the most part, entertainment wise, At Any Price is less than the sum of its parts. This is the kind of film you will have more fun analyzing than watching. The more I reflected on it, the more I grew to appreciate the care that went into the making of this picture. By the end of the year it may well become my favourite movie of the year. But then, I must reflect on the following question: Can a film be great if it doesn’t consistently entertain?

ORCHID

2455 WILSON AVENUE, PORT COQUITLAM URBAN-INSPIRED RIVERSIDE LIVING www.orchidcondos.com

longside Coquitlam River, among the mature trees and greenery, the first of the two buildings of PoCo’s most exciting new development will soon start to blossom. The majestic construction that will take shape over the coming months will form the first phase of the prime-value, prime-location condo project that is Orchid. Developed by community-conscious Quantum Properties, Orchid follows hot on the heels of Pearl, Quantum’s inaugural foray into the neighbourhood. Orchid is set to realize the dream of owning a sophisticated and perfectly-located condo without breaking the bank. Believe me when I say that value such as this will not be found elsewhere in Vancouver. Prices start from $149,900 for a 1-bedroom and $199,900 for a 2-bedroom condo. For this you will benefit not only from a prime location, but also from top-notch design and architecture.

Much like its ﬂoral namesake, Orchid has instant allure. Modern stainless steel-bedecked kitchens with mix & match ﬂooring, cabinetry and counter choices, and high-end hotel style bathrooms will meet the aspirations of today’s conscientious buyers.

you’d enjoy a stroll into downtown PoCo for some leisurely shopping, or you might prefer to dine in at one of the charming local restaurants. On your way home, grab a few essentials from the neighbourhood shops, or take a quick drive to buy your weekly groceries at Coquitlam Centre or Fremont Village.

Carefully crafted layouts – there are 13 to choose from – provide diverse living spaces, making it equally easy to imagine hosting a soiree as enjoying a quiet evening in. On-site amenities provide for every hobbyist, with a bike workshop, theatre room, yoga studio and three different workout spaces. You will also find a guest suite, a sauna, and extensive landscaped gardens in the sheltered confines of your new abode.

When the bright lights of the city call, an eﬀortless bridge-free drive via Highway 1 will see you in Vancouver’s Downtown hub in no time. If you rely on transit, no problem! Just a 5-minute walk will get you to the PoCo bus exchange or the West Coast Express.

But why stay home when there is so much on oﬀer on your doorstep? A Sunday afternoon could see you biking along the Traboulay PoCo Trail adjacent to Orchid, with a whole 25km ahead of you. Maybe

If all of this sounds like it’s the dream home you’ve been searching for, visit the Presentation Centre beginning June 8th at 2455 Wilson Ave, Port Coquitlam, open daily from 12-5pm (except Fridays). For more information, log onto orchidcondos.com or call 604.866.4206.

The crocus that is the most notorious spreader and seeder is the little snow crocus (Crocus tomasinianus), but it’s also a prolific flowerer as long as it’s planted where sun can get to it. This is an important point for crocus. Shade severely inhibits crocus flowering. Is it possible that tall trees or nearby shrubs (yours or the neighbours) are blocking adequate sunlight from entering your crocus area? Separating them and planting them again would be very time-consuming even if you had enough space — and unless you can plant them in a well-drained, sundrenched spot, you’d probably get the same problem. But your other bulbs must be protected from extreme competition. If you do have a small, sunnier spot, it would be best to separate and replant just a few crocus. The others may have to be composted.

Shortcuts to a lush lawn Many homeowners aspire to having a lush, green lawn as the showcase of their properties. The front lawn can make a statement and indicate to passersby the property owners’ personalities and design preferences.

Lawn care takes some dedication and hard work, but there are certain ways to cut down on the amount of effort required to maintain a landscape. By employing a few different shortcuts, you can have a healthy, lush lawn without spending all of your free time cutting the grass or pruning the trees. * Stop weeds at the start. Weeding is one of the most time-consuming parts of maintaining a lawn. Weeds can proliferate throughout the lawn if not addressed in a timely manner. Once weeds take root they can become a nuisance, so it’s best to treat weeds before they even have a chance to sprout. Apply a preemergent weed control product as soon as possible in the spring and then reapply it about three months later to ensure weeds are eradicated. That equates to much less tedious lawn maintenance during the season. * Plant a urine-resistant grass. Having a dog and maintaining a lush lawn has always been a particular conundrum for homeowners. Dog urine is high in nitrogen. While nitrogen, when applied in the correct ratio, can be a lawngrowth stimulant, in the large concentration that occurs in pet urine, it causes the grass to dry up and burn, resulting in bare spots.

Replanting with urine-resistant grasses can help cut down on the level of damage to the lawn from your own pet or pets that happen to make potty stops on your property. The grasses most resistant to urine tend to be perennial ryegrasses and fescues.

* Wake up and water. Watering in the early mornings saves time and energy in the long run by fostering a tougher, more droughtresistant lawn. If you water early in the day, less water will be lost to evaporation. Limit watering to a few times per week, and less if you have had adequate rain. Avoid watering at night, which can expose the lawn to bacteria and attract insects. * Mow when the lawn is dry. It’s not advisable to mow the lawn when it is wet. Slippery conditions can not only make it more dangerous to push a mower, but also slow down the time it can take to tackle the chore. The mower blades can become clogged and coated with wet grass clippings, necessitating stopping and starting the task. Another thing to consider is lawn diseases spread more readily through wet clippings. Stick to mowing when the lawn is completely dry. * Let clippings ﬂy. Mulching mowers, or those that just distribute clippings on the lawn as you go, can be healthier for the grass. They will serve as fertilizer and redistribute nutrients to the lawn as they break down into the soil. According to “The Organic Lawn Care Manual,” leaving clippings on the

PHOTO DREAMSTIME

lawn will fulﬁll about 25 percent of fertilizer requirements. Plus, you save time bagging up clippings. * Mow less often. Raise the mower’s blade so that the grass is longer in between cuttings. The taller grass will shade the soil and block weeds from germinating. It also helps improve soil’s moisture retention.

5-year mortgages as low as

* Don’t cut corners. Adjusting a landscape design to have arches and curves can reduce the time it takes to mow and edge a property. Hard corners in a landscape will require more time to keep straight and pristine. Caring for a lawn can take less time and effort than you think. MetroCreative

Side-by-side, Margo Ferguson and Gabby Fortin have turned a lot of powerful plays for the Riverside Rapids senior girls volleyball team over the past three seasons. Playing distinctively different roles on the court, the duo brought the ying and yang to the program as it boomed on the AAAA circuit. Looking back as they wrap up their high school years, they appreciate all that the journey entailed. “It’s been interesting and a lot of fun,” remarked Fortin, a libero. “This [Grade 12] year I had to step up my game as a leader, after learning from some incredible players before me. “Honestly this was the The team aspect best senior year I could was just a huge ask for.” part of it, the It’s a feeling both share. fondness you Joining the Rapids prohave for your gram, the two have felt teammates. the rush and weight that come with high expecta–Port Coquitlam’s tions.

A’S CAPTAIN TERRIFIC

Tyler Garrison’s return to the Coquitlam junior Adanacs’ lineup was exactly as it should be — impactful. The newly-minted captain, coming off a season playing for the pro Washington Stealth of the National Lacrosse League, scored twice in the third period to lift the Adanacs past Delta 7-5 on Wednesday. Garrison also added three assists. Jordan Gilles and Chase McIntyre chipped in two goals each. Coquitlam visits Victoria on Saturday.

NEW LIFE FOR OLD SHOES CENTS IN RUGBY FINAL

In his final game as a senior at Northern State University, outfielder Brent Lawrence went 3-for-6 and stole two bases in a 10-7 loss to Minnesota Duluth last week. Lawrence, a graduate of the Coquitlam Reds and Douglas College programs, wrapped up his last collegiate season batting .300, while posting a .550 slugging percentage. He led the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges’ conference and stood eighth overall in the nation with six triples, while also slugging four home runs and driving in 23 runs. He graduates from the Sough Dakota university with a bachelor of science degree.

Those old cleats, shin guards and soccer jerseys don’t have to be basement clutter. Thanks to Ruben’s Shoes, a Canadian project to spread the joy of soccer to kids in less fortunate countries, you can combine your spring cleaning with a philanthropic donation. As part of Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club’s Soccer Fun Day on May 26, the B.C. charitable organization will be in Coquitlam collecting gently used soccer cleats of all sizes, jerseys, shin guards and soccer balls. They will also take in gently used runners, sandals and rain boots, as well as baseball equipment. For more on Ruben’s Shoes, go to http:// www.facebook.com/RubensShoes.

Changes coming for Minto Cup Tom BERRIDGE

sports@thenownews.com The Canadian Lacrosse Association announced the return to the popular best-ofseven East versus West playoff format for the Minto Cup in 2014. A standing committee of the CLA and the Minto Cup committee came to an agreement that will see the junior A champions from B.C. and Alberta play off in a best-offive series, with the winner moving on to take on the champion from the east in a best-of-seven affair at the Minto Cup national championships. “We recognize that now is a time for change — 10 years ago change was set in motion

that brought the Minto Cup to a new level, adding a third member association into the competition; today, we accept change once again,” Joey Harris, CLA president said in an association press release. “The Minto Cup championship showcases the best of what our sport has to offer — but we have seen that the four-team format has not been the best format for those currently involved, and also to those that may want to get involved in the future at this level.” It’s a welcomed change, a former Coquitlam junior Adanac coach said. “I like the idea of a sevengame series. Some of the great Minto Cups from the past were seven games,” said

New Westminster head coach and Coquitlam resident Dan Perreault. “I like the format, and for the fans there’s nothing better than a good, tight seven-game series. You want to draw fans, and that’s the best way to do it. I think it’s a good decision. I think it’s great for lacrosse.” Under the new format, B.C. will host the first sevengame series, while Ontario will return the favour in 2015. In order to continue to grow the game and expose growing markets to the elite level of junior lacrosse in Canada, the 2016 Minto Cup will be played in Alberta, the release stated. It was also decided that this year’s Minto Cup will be played at New Westminster’s Queen’s Park Arena.

Veterans give credit to Rapid time CONT’D FROM P. 22 directions but in the same league, aiming for higher achievements along the way. Ferguson is heading to the University of Saskatchewan where she is expected to be a key middle blocker piece to the puzzle. “Very few athletes today would be able to pick up a new sport in Grade 9 and achieve a position on a [Canadian Interuniversity Sport] team in only four years,” remarked Gee on Ferguson’s journey. “It is through her work ethic, focus and drive that she is able to achieve it.” Fortin,aliberothepastthree years, is heading to Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops where she’ll join fellow Rapid alumni Katie Woo. “The campus really appealed to me, and I met the players and coach [Keith

Lundgren]. He was really intense and keen to have me in the program — I think he can bring the best out of me.” Welcoming the next challenge and stage in their playing and academic lives, both

credit their time at Riverside and their coaches and teammates for making it possible. “It’s going to be a huge change but I’m ready,” said Fortin. “I owe it all to my time at Riverside.”
