jdeutsch@thenownews.com Could New Westminster’s loss be the TriCities’ gain when it comes to being home for a pro soccer team? While officials for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC aren’t saying much about a possible destination for their farm team, both mayors in Coquitlam and PoCo are wading into the possibility. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said the soccer club has approached the city

He said at this point there have been no formal talks on the issue and any conversation would have to include consultation with the public.

Tribunal dismisses complaint GOLF COURSE CLEARED OF RACIAL ALLEGATIONS BY BC HUMAN RIGHTS TRIBUNAL

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com A popular Coquitlam golf course has found itself off the hook against accusations of racism by a former member. A B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has dismissed a complaint against Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club made by former members Keehong Song and Seungdoe Song. According to a tribunal decision released Tuesday, the couple filed a complaint alleging the course discriminated against them by denying them service customarily available to the public. They claimed that Westwood Plateau banned them from the club’s premises, at least in part, because of their race. The Songs are ethnically Korean. The complaint related to a period between May 26 and Aug. 1, 2013. The decision states there were several incidents over a period of about five weeks at the Coquitlam golf course that constitute the allegations, including one that relates to the club banning one or both of the Songs from the premises. The decision describes in detail a handful of separate incidents that occurred at the course related to the complaint with allegations of various members not following the course’s code of conduct. The Songs said they were banned while “the notoriously abusive players had been constantly ignoring the warnings from the clubhouse received no penalty whatsoever.” The couple also claimed that “their ban demonstrates a deep hatred to ban a cancer patient from the course when she has been playing so long” — a reference to Mrs. Song. According to documents, in the final incident on Aug. 1, despite being banned from the course, Mr. Song showed up the following

Human Rights Tribunal has been dismissed. day and asked the vice president, who is not named, to set out the nature of the ban in writing. He alleged the vice president “criticized me angrily” and asked him to leave the golf course immediately, while also threatening to call the RCMP to have the couple arrested for trespassing. Prior to the August incident, the vice president told the tribunal that he asked to meet

with Mr. Song after he received two reports from staff about the member’s abusive treatment of them. The first incident was in July 2013 when Song’s wife asked an employee to send an ambassador to retrieve a club left behind at a tee box. The employee explained the ambassadors were too busy at the time signing in other people and Song would have to get it himself.

The employee said he was apologetic. However, about 90 minutes later, Song entered the pro shop and “attacked” the employee for not sending someone to get the club. The employee accused Song of “harassing” him and questioning his level of intelligence in the golf industry. A second incident involved an allegation that Song called an employee in the pro shop an “asshole.” The vice president said he wanted Song to remain a member provided that he read and agreed to abide by the customer code. The course’s VP said in light of Song’s refusal to read the code and two incidents of abuse of staff — as well as an earlier history of abusing staff — he felt he had no choice but to ban Song from the premises. The tribunal decision noted letters of support provided by Westwood Plateau from ethnically Korean members and employees of Asian origin, which say they have not experienced discrimination. In his decision, Tribunal member Walter Rilkoff wrote the material submitted by the complainants do not support a conclusion that the Songs were banned from Westwood Plateau’s premises because of their race or ethnic origin. “While Mr. Song, in drafting the submission on his and his wife’s behalf, clearly sees the protagonists in this drama as either Asian or Caucasian, with many of the Caucasian actors motivated by race or ethnic origin of the other, his submissions provide no evidentiary basis that, if established at a hearing, would demonstrate or lead to a reasonable inference that any adverse treatment the Songs suffered at Westwood Plateau was in whole or in part a function of their race or ethnic origin,” he wrote.

Afghan war veteran’s complaint to proceed RESTAURANT PATRON ALLEGES DISCRIMINATION OVER SERVICE DOG

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com A B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has decided a complaint related to a Coquitlam Japanese restaurant and a service dog can proceed. In a written decision released Tuesday, tribunal member Walter Rilkoff denied the Nagano Japanese Restaurant’s application to dismiss a complaint made against the business. According to the documents related to the decision, Kevin Berry filed a complaint with the tribunal in July 2013, alleging the Nagano Japanese Restaurant discriminated against him when it refused to allow him to bring his licensed service dog into the restaurant. Nagano denied the allegation and filed an application to have the complaint dismissed because it said there is no reasonable prospect the complaint will succeed. Documents note that Berry is an Armed Forces veteran who served in Afghanistan and suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). To help him address his issues with PTSD, he was provided with a trained and registered service dog named Tommy. The decision noted the two sides have told two very different stories to the Tribunal on what happened. On June 14, 2013, Berry claimed he and a friend went to the restaurant with Tommy to join a group of friends.

Berry said he was directed to a booth where his friends vice dog certificate. Pae said the server brought him a certificate he’s never seen were, when a server yelled “across the restaurant” that he before, approached Berry and politely asked, “Do you mind if could not bring his dog inside.

VANCOUVER POLICE NAB SUSPECTS IN PORT MOODY AFTER PROLONGED PURSUIT

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com What started as an alleged armed jewelry store robbery in Richmond ended in arrests in Port Moody. The incident began shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday when three masked men armed with a shotgun tried to enter Wonderworld Jewellery, located at Aberdeen Mall in Richmond. Vancouver police said the suspects were unable to gain access to the business and fled to a waiting stolen Jeep Cherokee driven by a fourth suspect. The stolen Cherokee was driven to Thorpe Road near Dallyn in Richmond, where it was abandoned. The four got into a stolen Ford F-350 pick-up truck and drove to Burnaby. At about 4 p.m., the group stole another Jeep Cherokee

and the pick-up truck was also dumped. Police said the group in the stolen Jeep made their way to Port Moody and attempted to steal two more cars on Cecile Drive, but in the end all four fled on foot. The Vancouver Police Emergency Response Team and three VPD Canine Units immediately began to track the men as they jumped a fence in an attempt to get away. However, they didn’t get far. The first suspect was quickly spotted in the yard of a home on Tuxedo Drive and was taken into custody by a police dog after he failed to comply with the officers’ directions. The second man was tracked by another police dog and located hiding in a boat in the yard of a house on Mount Royal Court.

Police said the last two were found hiding in the bushes of a yard on Westmount Drive by the third K-9 unit shortly after 5 p.m. The VPD said officers recovered a shotgun and ammunition at the scene in Port Moody. Three of the four robbery suspects received dog bites and were treated at hospital. Several charges are being recommended from the alleged incident including robbery with a firearm, disguise with intent, possession of stolen property and possession of a firearm. The names of the four men have not been released. The VPD has indicated the arrested individuals have extensive history of “negative police contacts” and remain in custody until their next court appearance in Richmond today (Friday, Sept. 19.)

the sport seasons flow, but it’s not what they do it for anyways. Many kids get just as much self-confidence and enjoyment from their sports activities as they do from the classroom. There’s also the prospect of getting scholarships to post secondaries. Jones, who like Gee coaches in the community as well, expects to hear quickly from students about the start of a new season. “They love playing for their school,” Jones noted. “They maybe play at a higher level outside [of school] but it’s an opportunity to play for that team, for your school and with your friends. The kids are in classes together and they are anticipating the game that day.” Gee said that while the pre-season prep time would have begun already, most of his players are in prime playing shape and would have little prep time required if a season was to start within two weeks. “Most post-secondary opportunities for our athletes have either been decided or are in the process, none of the major tournaments have taken place, so the reality in volleyball is that the girls have not missed anything of great importance,” said Gee. “They have simply missed out on training for two-anda-half weeks. Our program should be fairly strong this year, and I am confident we will get up and going smoothly.”

Questions remain despite BCTF deal BRETT MINEER editorial@thenownews.com Despite the relative relief of a tentative deal to end the months-long teachers’ strike, questions and unease remained as more than 40,000 educators cast their ratification vote Thursday. Coquitlam Teachers’ Association (CTA) president Charley King said while the union was recommending to ratify the deal, it is not the agreement teachers wanted. “While it’s not the agreement we deserve, it is absolutely the best agreement we can get with this government and it does have some modest improvements for teachers and students,” King said. The six-year deal includes a front-end loaded 7.25 per cent wage hike and nearly $500million over five years to hire more specialist teachers and educational assistants. The province saved $163 million over the duration of the strike. “When you’re dealing with a government that I don’t even think respects the union’s right to exist, that’s going to be pretty harmful and is going to leave people with a lot of hard feelings,” King said. However, the CTA president added he’s confident those who work in the district will serve students and the public well, despite any remaining distrust. School Board 43 chair Melissa Hyndes said, full details of the deal had not yet been distributed to many districts as of Thursday, including info on how the province planned to fund

a teacher grievance settlement of more than $100 million. “According to minister Fassbender in a press conference with the premier, he said that this is a fully-funded deal. So when we look at the details, we are expecting that is true,” she said. Hyndes said pending results of the teachers’ ratification vote, the board plans to meet to ratify their end of the deal Friday. Students, meanwhile, would still return to classrooms Monday. “We were fortunate that we were allowed to get CUPE support staff into their schools over the summer to ready them for Sept. 2 so our schools have been ready to open,” she added. In an e-mail to the Tri-Cities NOW, Coquitlam Parent Advisory Council president Chuck Denison said parents are expressing relief at news of a deal and a return to normal family routines. “We now need to refocus our attention on some broader issues of education underfunding,” he said. “The complex formulas for funding school districts has left Coquitlam at the bottom of the heap along with other Lower Mainland districts. English language learners are an increasing burden here without any funding considerations.” Denison said he hoped to work with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the Ministry of Education to discuss new ways to fund classrooms. Results of the teachers’ vote were expected to be revealed in a Thursday night news conference, after the Tri-Cities NOW deadlines.

THE TRI-CITIES NOW

| FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2014

Time for the Silver Alert system in B.C.

s you’re reading this, a year will have now passed since Shin Noh went missing. The Coquitlam father left his home for a walk on Sept. 18, 2013, and never returned. He was in the middle stages of a battle with Alzheimer’s disease. In the weeks that followed, the community rallied behind the Noh family to search for the missing man. More recently, Shin’s son Sam and his family have been pushing the provincial government to implement a Silver Alert program for patients with Alzheimer’s or dementia, similar to the Amber Alert program used for missing children. In February, Coquitlam-Maillardville MLA Selina Robinson brought forward a private member’s bill calling on the government to implement the Silver Alert program. But since then, not much has happened, much to the frustration of the Noh family. Liberal MLA Linda Reimer recently said implementing a provincial Silver Alert isn’t that simple, noting her government is watching how a similar program is working in Ontario. Any alert in B.C. requires more time, discussion and consultation, she said. Tired of waiting, Sam Noh has teamed with a member of Coquitlam Search and Rescue to come up with their own citizen silver alert. While their efforts are to be commended, even they concede a program backed by the province would be much more effective. For anyone who’s had to deal with a family member battling Alzheimer’s or dementia, the constant fear that a loved one will simply wander away one day and never return is unbearable. It’s time the province steps up and brings the Silver Alert program here.

LNG plant grows paper trail

magine: you’ve just come off a surprise election victory after promising voters a $100-billion ‘Prosperity Fund’ courtesy of royalties and taxes from an industry that doesn’t yet exist in B.C. and based on tax rates that still haven’t been set. The next election is in 2017. You suspect that voters might want to see a little something for all the hype before then, so what to do? Well, take one of the proposed projects and slam the pedal-to-the-metal. And by all accounts, that project is the proposed Woodfibre LNG plant in Squamish. First step in the sprint to the finish line: demonstrate your commitment to the industry by clearing the path of anything that proponents might see as needless red tape. Streamline provincial environmental assessments by bringing about an agreement between B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office and the province’s Oil and Gas Commission to reduce duplication between the two offices for LNG projects and shorten assessment timelines. Next up: bump the feds out of the picture by requesting a substitution of the B.C. environmental process on the Woodfibre project over the possibility of a second federal assessment as well. Then minimize the chance for any substantive public input on that request by seeking it over the Christmas holidays. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency issued its announcement regarding B.C.’s application on Dec. 17, 2013. The public was given until Jan. 6 to comment. Big surprise, the feds acquiesced to B.C.’s request two months later. But why Woodfibre? Well, they were fast off the mark. Back in January 2013, when the LNG

industry was just a glimmer in the eyes of the B.C. government, Woodfibre LNG Ltd. signed a purchase agreement with Western Forest Products to acquire its Woodfibre site at an estimated price of $17 million. As might be expected of any company in the forestry industry, Western Forest Products is a faithful contributor to the B.C. Liberals. Since 2005, it has donated $289,070 to the party. Never gigantic contributions at any one time — most years their tithe was less than $20,000 — except for four of those years. In 2005, an election year, they doubled up and gave $43,990. In 2011, they gave $49,000, but that included four, one-time cheques of $5,000 each to the leadership campaigns of Christy Clark, Kevin Falcon, George Abbott and Mike de Jong. And in 2012 they gave $28,100. But 2013 must have been a very good year, because they opened up the vault to fork over $108,000 to the Liberals. That’s more than the company gave in the six years from 2005 to 2010. And $90,000 of it was donated in May, including $2,000 to Mary Polak’s constituency association mere days before she was sworn in as B.C.’s Environment minister. Coincidentally — as a condition of the sale to Woodfibre LNG — Western Forest Products needs to remediate the site and obtain a certificate of compliance from B.C.’s Environment ministry. No certificate and the estimated $17 million sale risks falling apart. And therein lies the problem. With all the other full-steam-ahead decisions that have been made on the file, there will be some who may suspect — no matter how hard the government protests otherwise — that the donations from Western Forest Products were not coincidental.

Particularly when their largesse is so tilted towards the governing party and only shifts with the polls. From 2012 to 2013, Western Forest Products gave $24,300 to the NDP. Mines minister Bill Bennett has argued that, “It’s really insulting for anybody to suggest that because we take donations from a group of corporations like the mining industry that we’re going to cut them a break.” Others will beg to differ. In an August column in The Tyee — Think Political Donations Are Benign? — former Times Colonist editorial writer Paul Willcocks notes that “research has found 90 per cent of Canadians think people with money have a lot of influence over government.” Instead of its pedal-to-the-metal approach on Woodfibre, perhaps the government should have heeded the advice of Selina Lee-Andersen, a lawyer at McCarthy Tetrault, who last November wrote: “Given the myriad issues involved in getting an LNG project off the ground, the race to export LNG will need to be run as more of a marathon than a sprint to the finish line.” Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC

LETTERS SILVER ALERT A MUST IN B.C.

Re: “Noh search hits oneyear mark,” Wednesday, Sept. 17 The efforts of Sam Noh, Shawn Bouchard, and Michael Coyle to create their own Silver Alert system should be supported, but it is unfortunate that it has to happen because the provincial government refuses to take action. When people with dementia or other cognitive impairments go missing and there is no immediate notification to the public, we know that the results can be tragic. We need provincial protocol in place to help prepare our communities for when a loved one goes missing. I have been working with the Noh family on this issue, and in February I introduced the Silver Alert Act into the B.C. legislature. The bill could have paved the way for a formal Silver Alert system to help find missing people like Shin Ik Noh, but the B.C. Liberal government refused to pass it. During the next 20 years, over 170,000 seniors in our province will be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or a form of dementia. This is an opportunity for the government to start investing in

long-term solutions and work with stakeholders to develop an official protocol, so why won’t they? Selina Robinson New Democrat MLA for Coquitlam-Maillardville

MONSTERS IN PORT MOODY Re: “Monster home debate planned,” Wednesday, Friday, Sept. 12 There was a healthy debate about growth and development during the long official community planning process in Port Moody. The extent of this consultation was long, exhaustive, but inclusive, and the final decision made by council clearly reflected the majority. In the end, several questions such as, square footage, density limits on strategic sites along the Evergreen Line, and elsewhere, were wisely deferred for future review. That future is now, and council is not letting the grass grow under our feet with another town hall meeting planned for Oct. 27 to tackle this head-on. This is a great opportunity to look at floor area ratios, heights, lot coverage, setbacks, etc. to better control the larger (mega

or monster) homes, which are now even starting to appear in Glenayre. In the late spring I counted 20 new (since 2007) larger homes just in Moody Centre, with only three built in what I subjectively consider an appropriate design for their surroundings. If, size, siting and building height calculations had been properly dealt with in the zoning review promised in 2007 at the design charrette, a great deal of this controversy could have been prevented. Hopefully we will hear some new and interesting ideas from the Port Moody candidates in the upcoming election, and especially when results from the April 2014 Ipsos Reid survey indicate such strong satisfaction and support from residents. Let’s hope that this general sense of well-being doesn’t cause voter apathy. John Grasty Port Moody

TAKING ON THE TEACHERS Re: “Letter elicits reader anger,” Wednesday, Sept. 17 It is the attitude of Sharon Gajdosik in her reply to a letter that turns a lot of people off.

THE TRI-CITIES NOW | FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2014

Whether or not the previous letter writer was accurate in her statements isn’t important. What is important is Ms. Gajdosik’s remark: “One thing that I realized during the strike is that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to change the mind of uninformed, ignorant and uneducated people.” Wow. Could she be more arrogant? Was she referring to the letter writer or Minister Fassbender? Still doesn’t matter. This holier than thou attitude that she has is repulsive. I guess in her mind teachers know all and are never, ever wrong. Yeah, right. As for David Weir and his comment about summers not being paid, well who knew?! For 35 years I have been receiving less money on my paycheques for 12 months when I could have gone to my employer to see if they would agree to give me more money on each of my cheques for 10 months. What a novel idea. That would have been nice but then not getting paid for two months what would I do? Hmmm. Tough question. Oh yeah, I know. I’d budget. Whew. I think I would rather have less money on each cheque for 12 months. Less stressful. Michelle Clayton Coquitlam

Homicide call deemed false Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com What were tense moments for a Port Coquitlam neighbourhood Tuesday evening turned out to be nothing. Coquitlam Mounties were called to a home on Drawbridge Close at 9:30 p.m. to the report of a possible homicide. But when cops arrived, they found no evidence of a murder or a crime. RCMP Insp. Konrad Golbeck said the caller identified an address for the supposed incident, which led to a heavy response from police.

“We don’t take any of this lightly, safety is paramount with the public as well the officers,” he said. Neighbours who gathered out in the street said they saw police dogs and officers with guns drawn. There were also reports of shots fired, but police later confirmed the reports were false. Golbeck said investigators are treating the incident as a mischief case and are trying to determine who made the call and where it came from. He noted the call tied up a lot of resources for something that didn’t happen.

PoCo run raises $62K

4,500-plus,” noted Port Coquitlam Fox Run organizer Dave Teixeira. “Funds and figures are still coming in … We raised roughly $62,000 which is more than $1 per PoCo resident — keeping in line with Terry’s goal of $1 per Canadian during his Marathon of Hope.” Participants were encouraged to raise funds in the fight against cancer, and many participants did so on behalf of family and friends who’ve faced the disease — with a growing number of survivors joining the event each year. Judith Fox, Terry’s sister, gave a inspirational boost to the participants this year, then laced on the shoes and joined the crowd as it took over the PoCo course. In Coquitlam, the numbers of participants climbed to nearly 700 and raised approximately $25,000.

“It was a great day for the Terry Fox Run [in] Coquitlam,” said organizer Mark Pettie. “We had a surprise special guest in Doug Alward, Terry’s best friend and run companion [on the Marathon of Hope]. Both he and Brenda Martel gave very inspiring speeches and reminded us on the successes and importance of cancer research.” Among the volunteers along the Coquitlam course were Coquitlam firefighters and actor Fred Ewanuick, of Corner Gas, serving up post-race pancakes to hungry runners. The Anmore event was equally as successful in its second year. Eighty-three people participated, with donations and merchandise sold raising $1,573 for cancer research. The Terry Fox Run has become a global event, with runs held in nearly every major city, including distant nations such as Egypt, China, Croatia and Qatar.

Helping orphaned bears towards a second chance

LISA KING/NOW

Bear cubs, like these seen foraging earlier this week, are often taken to Critter Care Wildlife Society centres if they’re permanently separated from their mothers.

Think you might need some help getting by if you were just a baby and your mom got shot for breaking into people’s houses to rummage around for food? Orphaned bear cubs have the same problem. There are seven of them at the Critter Care Wildlife Society in Langley right now, two of them from Whistler, where their mother was shot for breaking into one too many homes. Others are from the Lower Mainland, also orphaned after their mothers’ run-ins with people. The wildlife centre is looking after the cubs, but the care doesn’t come cheap. Each of the bears will eat its way through about $5,000 worth of food during their 18 months at the refuge. The centre is hoping the public will help out as it stages its sixth annual walkathon and fundraiser by donating, registering or gathering pledges and taking part.

Pining for the days of the small pickup Dear Tom and Ray: Remember those Datsun mini-trucks that used to be around? Where did that class of trucks go? It seems like all you can get now is a full-size F-150 or similar. Is there anything like those old Japanese mini-trucks still on the market, or should I start shopping for a classic El Camino? What happened to the small trucks? — Bryant RAY: People stopped buying them. TOM: There still is a class of pickup truck smaller than the full-size F-150s, Silverados and Ram 1500s. But they’re not much smaller. RAY: Toyota still makes the Tacoma. Nissan still makes the Frontier. And Chevy is coming out with a redesigned 2015 Colorado. TOM: But these are not mini-trucks. The trucks you remember were, essentially, compact Japanese cars with truck beds. They were cheap, lightweight and utilitarian. RAY: Not enough people

CLICK & CLACK

Tom & Ray Magliozzi want that anymore. Pickup trucks have become large, luxury cars. The smallest two-door Toyota Tacoma these days, for example, is only about a foot and a half shorter than the smallest full-size Toyota Tundra. TOM: And even though you can order it with a fourcylinder engine and get a little better mileage than the full-size Tundra, it’s a cheaper and less-capable vehicle. RAY: The problem for manufacturers is that, once you design and build a smaller pickup truck and equip it with everything a modern vehicle needs to have, it doesn’t cost much less than a full-size pickup. And the mileage isn’t that much bet-

ter. So most people go for the bigger truck. TOM: You should have a look at the Chevy Colorado when it comes out. That’ll be the most modern and up-todate of the less-than-full-size pickup trucks out there. RAY: Look at the Honda Ridgeline, which is more carlike than other pickups, but not much smaller. TOM: You can look for a used Subaru Baja, which was the most recent El Caminoish vehicle that failed to sell and was killed off. It was last made in 2006. RAY: You can look for a used Ford Explorer Sport Trac, which was last made in 2010. That’s a Ford Explorer with a pickup-truck bed. Again, not small, but smaller than a full-size pickup. TOM: You can look for a classic El Camino, or even a really old Toyota or Datsun truck, if you’re willing to give up safety and reliability. RAY: But what you’re really lusting after just isn’t for sale anymore, Bryant. At least not in the United States.

COMMUNITY&LIFE

Open houses, free Try-it events in Coquitlam The City of Coquitlam is inviting resident input to help guide parks, recreation, arts and culture planning and spending for the next 10 to 15 years. On Saturday, Sept. 20, the city is holding an open house at five of its recreation facilities as part of its community engagement for the Parks Recreation and Culture Master Plan. Residents can use interactive surveys to tell the city what activities are most important to them, what activities they would like to see offered as well as identify where city amenities, buildings and parks are needed. The open houses will also feature a number of free ‘Try-It’ activities and information sessions. Since 1998, the Parks, Open Space and Leisure Facilities Master Plan has been the City’s guiding document for planning and prioritizing its facility, service delivery and parkland needs. Continuous and rapid community growth, increasing cultural diversity, and changing demographics challenges the city to respond to the current demands and plan for future parks, recreation and culture services and buildings make it necessary to update this guiding document. The purpose of the Parks, Recreation and Culture Draft Master Plan is to provide an overall framework that: • Captures the community’s values and aspirations. • Defines the role of the City and other service providers. •Provides a baseline assessment of the Parks,

Recreation and Culture service areas. •Identifies clear priorities and capital funding costs over the next 10 to 15 years for buildings, parks, and programs. The city is encouraging residents to attend one of the open house events to try something new, as well as use simple, interactive surveys to tell them what they like and want to see for the future of parks recreation and culture in Coquitlam. There will also be an additional event on Sept. 25 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Victoria Community Hall and Park (3435 Victoria Dr). Meet with City of Coquitlam’s staff and try something new.

Dr.Paunovic ASK

Protein, grains are a good bet for pets Pet owners have long faced the conundrum of what to feed their pet. The process of selecting food can be overwhelming, especially with the variety of options available in any given store. Michele Dixon, a specialist in pet health and nutrition at pet food company Petcurean, gives us her guidance on this task so that in future, your shopping experience will be smoother and more enjoyable. • Food Preferences: Although, like humans, pets have taste buds, they usually choose a food by smell. This means that they enjoy certain foods and flavours more than others. If they aren’t enjoying or finishing their meal, you can try a different recipe. For instance, perhaps a recipe with duck or salmon will please your pet more than another source of protein. •One Size Does Not Fit All: Pets need different nutri-

ents based on their life stage, body condition and activity level, so consider choosing food based on whether they are puppies or kittens, or senior dogs or cats. Moreover, you may want to be on the lookout for food geared toward the size of your pet — different companies offer recipes that are created specifically with small or large dogs in mind. • Protein is Key: Protein is a key component to ensuring your pet stays healthy and strong. “Pets need protein to thrive and survive,” says Dixon. “Make sure that meat is one of the top three ingredients in any recipe you select to ensure that your dog or cat is getting enough of this essential nutrient.” • Consider Grains: Grains can act as an energy source for pets, but be sure to look for wholesome and healthy grains, such oats and quinoa, in the ingredients list. These will provide neces-

sary fuel and keep your pets fuller for longer. • Identify Sensitivities: Does your pet have food sensitivities? If so, start an elimination diet to figure out what is upsetting its system. Dixon adds that some products like GO! SENSITIVITY + SHINE by Petcurean are specially formulated for dogs and cats with specific dietary needs. The recipes also contain prebiotics and probiotics to aid digestion, plus antioxidants to support increased immunity. “Choosing the right food for your pet can be a bit of a challenge,” Dixon continues, “but making the right choice can certainly pay off. We encourage pet owners to use our selector tool to find the appropriate product for their animal’s menu.” By paying special attention to your pet’s wants and needs, you will ensure they are energized and healthy. — MetroCreative

Summer readers feted by libraries

More than 350 school-aged readers took home a gold medal at the Port Moody Library’s Summer Reading Club medal ceremony last Saturday. Kids who completed 50 days of reading over the summer were invited to drop in for a Saturday of games, crafts, and refreshments. After enjoying the activities, young readers were recognized by Port Moody-WestwoodPort Coquitlam MP James Moore, Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Linda Reimer, and Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay on stage, and received a gold medal courtesy of the Royal Bank of Canada Foundation. Kids who finished their 50 days of reading in the Summer Reading Club can still pick up medals throughout the fall at the Port Moody Library. Just bring your reading record and calendar in, and get your own gold medal to honour your achievement. While you’re there, pick up some fun new fall books, or check out the library’s fall program schedule. For more information, call 604-469-4577 or e-mail askthelibrary@portmoody.ca. Meanwhile, the Coquitlam Public Library concluded a very successful Summer Reading Club program with a medal ceremony on Saturday, Sept. 6.

Children who read at least 20 minutes each day for seven weeks came to the Poirier Branch with their parents to receive their Summer Reading Club medals. Participants at the City Centre branch were awarded their medals in late August. Students Victoria Zhang and Brianna Chan also each won a new eReader. On hand to congratulate the children and parents were representatives from Coquitlam city council, members of the library board and library director Todd Gnissios. The Club is sponsored by Royal Bank, which provided medals to the young readers. The Summer Reading Club is a provincewide program that encourages children in elementary school (ages four and up) to read each day during the school break. Studies have shown that reading through the summer holiday has a positive impact in the retention and improvement of reading skills. This year, more than 1,740 children joined Coquitlam Public Library’s Summer Reading Club, the largest group ever and a 10 per cent increase over last year. For additional information about the Coquitlam Public Library, see the library’s website at www.coqlibrary.ca or call 604937-4144 or 604-554-7323.

Examining new methods to help caregivers A growing number of Canada’s ageing baby boomers are providing care for a spouse or parent with dementia. But these family caregivers often lack the support they need to avoid becoming patients themselves, according to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. “These caregivers are the backbone of our current health system,” said Dr. Janice Keefe at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax, in a press release. “Yet we don’t treat them this way. One of the big challenges we face is that caregivers aren’t viewed as a client or eligible for services in and of themselves.” She’s working to change this situation. For the past 20 years, Dr. Keefe and her team have been part of an international movement to assess the health needs and challenges of family caregivers — mainly daughters and spouses — who are caring for elderly loved ones with disabilities and chronic illnesses, such as dementia. At the heart of Dr. Keefe’s research is her co-creation of the Caregivers’ Aspirations, Realities and Expectations (C.A.R.E.)

Tool, which is considered by some to be a pioneering assessment tool for developing an understanding of the support services that family caregivers need. Dr. Keefe and her colleagues started C.A.R.E.’s development in 1998 after studying all of the existing caregiver assessment tools and not finding a single one that could collect all of the information needed. The C.A.R.E. Tool fills this gap. For caregivers, it provides the chance to sit down, in either in a single session or several, and talk about their situation. “For two-thirds of them, it was the first time they’d been able to talk about their experiences as caregivers,” says Dr. Keefe of the 168 caregivers in Quebec and Nova Scotia who took part in the tool’s initial research and development. But it’s more than just a chance to talk. The C.A.R.E. Tool also offers a way for health care providers and caregivers to have a very focused and detailed conversation about the caregivers’ challenges, concerns and hopes. It also helps link these needs to potential caregiver support services, such as respite support. During the past decade, the C.A.R.E. Tool has

prompted a growing shift in how national, provincial and local health systems account for who they serve. For example, in a pilot project conducted by Alberta Health Services, the C.A.R.E. Tool was used to assess the needs of 79 home caregivers, 80 per cent of whom were elderly female spouses caring for a husband with a form of cognitive impairment, such as dementia. As a result of the report, Alberta now assesses at-risk caregivers throughout the province. In 2012, Statistics Canada conducted a study of caregivers across the country. Here’s what they found: • Eight million Canadians or 28 per cent of the population aged 15 and over, were providing care to family members or friends with a long-term health condition, a disability or problems associated with aging. • In general, women were more likely to report that they were providing care for a family member with a health problem (30 per cent of women versus 26 per cent of men). • Among family caregivers, 30 per cent reported that they were caring for a loved one with health problems related to aging, and 7 per cent reported that they were caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia. • Among people caring for their spouse, 31 per cent spent 30 hours or more per week providing care. • Only 14 per cent of people caring for a spouse and five per cent of people caring for a parent received government financial assistance.

Manage your time when telecommuting This reduces the likelihood that your housemates will distract you or walk into your office while you’re on a video chat or conference call. • Ask for a work phone. Many companies who allow employees to telecommute will provide a phone for such workers. This phone is linked to the same network workers use in the office, and it’s a wholly separate line from your personal lines at home. It’s important that telecommuters keep a separate phone solely for work so their personal and professional messages do not get mixed up, which can make it more difficult for men and women to do their jobs. •Use the technology at your disposal. One of the ways technology has made it easier to work from home is by providing a number of ways workers can stay in constant and instant contact with their coworkers. But such technology is only useful if telecommuters make it work for them. Video conferencing allows telecommuters to conduct “face-to-face” meetings with coworkers, while instant messaging is a valuable tool to stay in touch with coworkers who you work with directly. Use these programs to your advantage, and you’ll notice you’re not only more productive but also still able to maintain a personal connection with your coworkers.

to spend as much on computers and other tools for their employees, as many telecommuters use their own personal computers when working from home. While telecommuting can benefit employee and employer, the success of such an arrangement depends largely on the employees who will be working from home. Men and women who work from home often find they have more freedom at home than they did when working in an office, and how they handle that freedom will go a long way toward determining how successful they are at telecommuting. The following strategies can ensure telecommuters’ work-from-home experiment is a productive success. • Stick to a schedule. Workers who still commute to work adhere to a schedule, and so should telecommuters. Sticking to a schedule will allow you to maintain the same level of productivity you aspired to when working in the office, and a schedule will ensure your personal life does not encroach on your professional life. • Let others know your schedule. Though you’re now working from home, your schedule likely has not changed. You may be able to sleep in a little later because you no longer have to commute, but your workday is likely still eight hours. Once you have established your schedule, let others in your household know when you will be working on a daily basis.

Telecommuting has grown more and more common over the last decade. Thanks in large part to advancements in technology that make it easier than ever before to connect remotely with coworkers, telecommuting is now something more companies are embracing. According to Global Workplace Analytics, a consulting and research firm that focuses on emerging workplace strategies, the total telework growth from 2011 to 2012, the most recent year for which statistics are available, was 3.8 percent. But those figures don’t tell the entire story, as the rise of telecommuters increased considerably since 2006, when the number of teleworkers grew by 26 percent over the year prior. Telecommuting can pay dividends for workers and businesses alike. Working parents find telecommuting drastically cuts back on or even eliminates childcare costs, saving them thousands of dollars per year. Working from home also saves workers’ vehicles from the everyday wear and tear of driving to and from work, potentially adding years to a vehicle’s life expectancy. Businesses also benefit from allowing employees to work remotely. Small businesses may need less office space if many of their employees work from home, saving them substantial amounts of money in rent. In addition, businesses who allow workers to telecommute may not need

New View Society offers training course Research shows that at some point in their lives, mental health problems affect one in three Canadians. So the chances are good that each of us knows someone with a mental health problem such as a substancerelated disorder, depression, anxiety, or a psychotic disorder. While thousands of people across the country know how to provide First Aid to some-

one with a physical injury, a lot fewer people are able to recognize the signs of someone needing mental health first aid. According to a press release, that phenomenon is changing thanks to the Mental Health First Aid training program for the general public, being offered coast-tocoast by Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Canada, a program of the Mental Health Commission of Canada.

The MHFA program, developed by Dr. Anthony Jorm and Betty Kitchener at the University of Melbourne in Australia, is an evidencedbased program that has spread to several countries throughout the world including Scotland, England, Hong Kong, Finland, Singapore, and the U.S. “Mental health first aid is help for a person experiencing a mental health problem or a mental health crisis. Just

like physical first aid, the goal is to offer a person immediate assistance until they can receive appropriate professional treatment or until the crisis is over,” says Donna Bonertz, employment and rehabilitation coordinator with the New View Society, in a press release. The local non-profit agency has provided mental health services in the Tri-Cities area for more 40 years. The next MHFA Canada

Training course offered at the New View Society will be on Oct. 2 and 3. Those interested can register by calling Donna at 604-941-3222 ext 110 or by e-mailing dbonertz@newviewsociety.ca MHFA Canada is an interactive course for anyone and no previous mental health experience is necessary. It can benefit teachers, health-care professionals, emergency service workers, human resource professionals, employers, managers and supervisors, community groups and the public. The 12-hour course provides general information about what is meant by mental health problems and illnesses, how to identify signs of mental health problems in yourself and others, effective interventions and treatments and how to support an individual and help them find out about and access the pro-

fessional help they may need. It also dispels common myths surrounding mental health problems and reduces the stigma around mental illness, since estimates suggest that more than half of the people with a mental health problem will never seek treatment. “The course doesn’t train people to diagnose mental illness or be a therapist or counselor,” says Bonertz. “It provides the first aider with actions to guide a person in need to appropriate professional help when a problem first arises. We know the sooner a person with a mental health problem gets help, the better their chances of recovery.” More information about mental health first aid and dates and locations of upcoming courses across Canada can be found at www.mentalhealthfirstaid. ca.

EXPRESS NOTES

ON THE GOAL LINE

Coquitlam’s Pierce Dushenko saw it all from the best seat in the house. While he played a back-up’s proportion of games for Coquitlam during the regular season, posting a respectable 3.88 goals against average, he took a seat during the playoffs while Gordie Defiel stood on his head during the team’s championship run. Now it’s Dushenko’s crease, and the redheaded teen is up for the No. 1 challenge. “I think I’m ready for it. I learned alot from watching Gordie last year,” he said. “I’m more confident and know the speed of this league better, and how intense it is.” Taking over the top job isn’t just about handling more rubber, but also dealing with the additional expectations — much of which he places on his own shoulders. “I wouldn’t say there’s a lot of pressure, just expectations. We have to come out strong and get the momentum going for the season.”

STEADY ON THE BLUE Defence wins championships, it is often said. If that’s true, it also has a huge role in defending them. Newcomer Daniel Fritz is eager to test the B.C. Hockey League waters, after playing the past year with Sioux Falls and Tri-City of the U.S. junior A league. “I started out as a bottom guy and worked my way up in the league and on the team,” said 19-year-old Fritz of last year. “Now I know how to help out the rookies, I know where they’ve been. I can tell them how it is.” Bonding together as a team is going to be a big part of any success they will have. “I love playing with these guys everyday in practice. It’s competitive in practice, I hate getting beat one-on-one but its fun.”

ON THE FRONT LINES

Veteran experience is going to be huge as the Coquitlam Express faces its competition wearing the tag “league champions.” At press time, a captain hadn’t been selected, but veterans like Cody Boyd understand that everyone on the roster must play a leadership role. “As a returnee, I think guys can look up to me and if they have any questions or anything I can lead them in the right direction,” said Boyd, 20. “We’re aiming for 20-some leaders and that’s how we won last year. Every single guy on the team last year could have worn the C.”

LISA KING/NOW

Donning the updated and golden trimmed uniforms, Coquitlam Express veterans Corey Mackin, Joey Santucci and Brendan Lamont are set to kick off another championship push this weekend in Chilliwack. This year Coquitlam will enter each game as BCHL champs.

Express target familiar journey Dan OLSON

sports@thenownews.com hat do you do for an encore when your team surges up the charts and knocks off favourite after favourite to earn a league crown? The Coquitlam Express are about to find out, as they launch the 2014-15 B.C. Hockey League season as the reigning kings. The catch, of course, is that this crop of Coquitlam players is a mix of returning players and fresh-faced but unknown talents. “We have to make sure we look after ourselves and come out of the gate flying,” remarked head coach and general manager Barry Wolff. “Our big thing for us is character and work ethic. That’s what we’re trying to get out of these guys and I think we will in a hurry.” The ‘hurry’ begins tonight (Friday) in Chilliwack, where, as part of the Bauer BCHL Showcase, all teams roll two games off the schedule in the Fraser Valley town. Coquitlam skates against West Kelowna at 7 p.m., with its second game coming tomorrow (Saturday),

noon against Trail. Veterans returning to this year’s lineup — where they’ll don a newer, modified jersey that adopts Coquitlam Minor Hockey’s gold and black colours — bring more than just experience, as evident in the names engraved upon the Fred Page Cup. “I’m excited, I haven’t been this excited from something in a while,” remarked 20-year-old Cody Boyd. “It’s my first time coming back to the same junior team, it feels like it’s my team. It’s going to be awesome.” Boyd was an unexpected bonus for Wolff, after he left in May for a hockey scholarship at West Point. A quick taste of a soldier’s life, and the desire to focus on hockey led Boyd back. “[Boyd] brings so much — a big body who can skate, can score when he shoots, so hopefully we can get him do that a little more,” noted Wolff. “He’s another guy who went to the dance last year and we’re glad to add that to the locker room.” Up front the veteran presence is evident in the polished sniping skills of Joey Santucci and Corey Mackin, who combined for 47 goals.

Brendan Lamont is a character grinder who, like Josh Smith and Boyd, is being counted on to chip in more often. Jackson Cressey, Daniell Lange and Nicholas Rasovic, an Anmore native, all have offensive upside, Wolff said, and last year’s experience should only fuel that. Given the holes created by the graduation of captain Ryan Rosenthal, Adam Rockwood and brothers Bo and Canon Pieper, there remain a lot of opportunities for skilled recruits — and the club has shaken the hockey bush near and far to attract the best players available. The newcomers feature a mix-and-match of skills, size and experience, from five-foot-six winger Cameron Bertsch, a Cloverdale product who played junior B last year, to rangy six-footfour teen Noah Turanski, who at 16 will be one of the youngest players in the BCHL. “[Bertsch] is a little guy but he can fly. He’s going to be a great college player,” said Wolff. “[Turanski] is going to be good. His puck pursuit, he just always wants the puck, and obviously he gets it with that size,” the coach said of the six-foot-four forward. CONTINUED ON PAGE 40

TNT stand tall in tie They got the early jump but needed some timely saves from their netminder to earn a hard-fought draw. When the final whistle blew, the Coquitlam MetroFord under-16 gold girls TNT battled North Shore to a 1-1 tie. Kaisha Markiewicz opened the scoring 10 minutes into the game, finishing off a nice setup from Olivia Dawson. North Shore applied plenty of pressure in search of the tying goal, but were led astray by defenders Isabel Antunes and Nicole Chursinoff, while netminder Josie Pozzolo turned back a free kick to preserve the draw. Coquitlam’s attack was led by Kirstin Davies, Risako Kazemi and Jade Ryshak. • The Coquitlam MetroFord u13 select Rebels played West Van to a scoreless tie. With no goals to be had, the defenders were the stars. MaiyaCallister,MadisonCiulla and Laura Marshall turned in strong performances, while netminder Milena Wilson posted her second shutout of the young season, as the Rebels improved to 1-0-1. • Max Kenward was full marks in posting an early season clean sheet, backstopping the Coquitlam Metro-Ford u12 select boys Barca to a 6-0 win over PoCo. Registering the

goals were Roman Bandiera, Ty Banks, Justin Dade, Adam Kirby and Justin Osborne.

PORT MOODY Starting a week later than most, the Port Moody u17 boys Mercury delivered a valiant attempt against Surrey United, only to fall 5-3. Port Moody got goals from Quinn Henney and Thomas Staddon. In the second half Surrey pumped in three goals to go ahead 4-2. Led by captain Christian Knowles and goalkeeper Lukas Neussler, Port Moody pushed back and pulled within a goal when Pasha Nejad capped some clinical work from Klim Jurny and David Kok.

NORTH COQUITLAM Playing as though they were hunkering for a big meal,

the North Coquitlam United Rebels turned Chilliwack on its ear en route to a 10-1 win in boys u12 select soccer. The Rebels got two-goals apiece from Cyrus Bharucha, Evan Jeon, Ian Murphy and Craig Nordin — while Josh Broughton and Daichi Tamura added singles. Splitting the netminding duties were Logan Williams and Jeon. • While they gave up the first goal, the North Coquitlam United Fusion responded in force to trounce Abbotsford 51 in u16 boys play. Yaseth Dharmasena tied the game, then the Fusion added four unanswered markers to walk away with it. Scoring were Cole Mullen, Ehan Mullen, Daniel Samaei and Kyle Sheehy. Providing ample support were Brandon Mayhew and Alex Warner.

Wolves silenced by Pegasus An avalanche of offence in the season opener became a drought last week for the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Wolves. Despite having a number of golden opportunities, the Vancouver Metro premier soccer team came away unlucky in a 2-0 setback to ICST Pegasus. Pegasus got two goals off plays generated by Sahil Sandhu. The striker scored on a penalty kick in the 35th minute, then added the

insurance marker in the second half on a play credited to an own goal. For Coquitlam, Carlo Basso had a tremendous chance foiled early in the game, while netminder Dillan Fogliato stepped up and kept the Wolves in the contest. They had opened the season with a 9-2 triumph over CCTS. Coquitlam travels to Vancouver on Saturday to take on Columbus FC.

Two losses behind them, the Coquitlam junior bantam Raiders picked up their first win of the year, topping the Cloverdale Cougars 12-8. The defensive trio of Michael Evans, Cole Kashino and Andrew Lloyd set the tone as the Raiders halted a handful of third-down marches by the Cougars. Jarrett Chong broke a scoreless game in the third quarter with a long run down field, but Cloverdale took the lead when it recorded its touchdown and ensuing kick-after attempt. Jaden Severy set the comeback with a series of runs, including a 30-yard dash into choice field position. He would take the ball for a six-yard TD to make it 12-8 for Coquitlam.

ATOM

BANTAM

A strong second half nearly catapulted the Coquitlam Lions to victory in atom division action. The crew made a valiant push but fell 26-20 to Cloverdale. Scoring three majors was Xyon Fleary, while Dion Patterson kicked an extra point. The defence, led by Jacob Olchowy, racked up numerous tackles on the day, while Cade Thorington was a force on the offensive line.

The Richmond Raiders had the edge and used it to knock off the Coquitlam Chargers 41-20 in bantam football. Scoring majors for Coquitlam were Martin Norman, who turned a turnover into a 70-yard TD run, followed by a two-point convert kick from Edvin Colakovic. While they trailed 15-8 after the first quarter, the Chargers kept up the pressure with Norman counting another major to start the second quarter. Matt Shuen would cash in the team’s final major, while Richmond would dominate the fourth quarter.

“He intimidates a lot of people, and he can skate. Usually the big fellas don’t get around too good, but he can move. It’s exciting.” The teen, who skated with both the Okanagan-based Pursuit of Excellence’s under16 and -18 squads last season, is looking forward to the challenge. While he spent much of last year utilizing his size on the blueline, the Vernon native has a hankering to be a prototypical power forward, eyeing a college scholarship down the road. “I’m a big power forward,” he said with a smile. “I like to go to the net and get pucks in front of the net. I’ll do whatever it takes… I’m going to use [my size] to my advantage.” Brett Supinski, a 19-year-old import from Collegeville, Penn., has a scholarship deal with Union and comes to Coquitlam after leading Millwood prep school with 20 goals and 21 assists in 32 games. Colton Kerfoot and Owen Stout join the Express after successful seasons with Vancouver’s major midget program,

where Kerfoot was two-points shy of leading the whole provincial circuit in scoring. Pierce Dushenko steps into the No. 1 goaltending role after backing up playoff star Gordie Defiel last season. He’ll be backed up by Surrey’s Braden Krogfoss, who posted the second-best goals against average in the Pacific Junior B Hockey League last year. Anthony Gardner is the one defensive holdover, and he’ll be joined by Maryland native Daniel Fritz, who played 44 games in the U.S. junior A circuit, and Austen Bietenbeck, a former member of the Langley Rivermen. The remaining blueliners will be new and young, said Wolff. “At the start of the year you don’t really know what you have until you play a couple of league games and they mean something,” he noted. “The feeling is kind of ‘Let’s play right now and figure it out.’” The club returns home for a banner raising on Sept. 26, when the Prince George Spruce Kings visit the Poirier Sports Centre.
