A new national park?

jdeutsch@thenownews.com It appears the Tri-Cities is getting its own national park.

A major announcement is expected today (Friday) by the federal government regarding the future of Admiralty Point in Belcarra Regional Park.

A source has told the Tri-Cities NOW the lands will be designated a national park and operated in conjunction with Metro Vancouver.

The 75-acre (30-hectare) parcel of land is located at the tip of Belcarra Regional Park along Burrard Inlet.

The land contains a popular trail and recreational area and also serves as an environmental habitat.

The federal government originally signed a 99-year lease with the City of Vancouver back in 1912 to keep the lands for park purposes.

The Admiralty Point lands were then handed over to the Greater Vancouver Regional District — now Metro

Vancouver — in 1969 for the same purpose. But the lease ran out in 2011, and municipal leaders in both Port Moody and Belcarra have expressed concern the lands could be developed.

The lands also play a part in Port Moody’s history. Col. R.C. Moody, for whom the city of Port Moody is named, established the Admiralty Point Military Reserve there in 1860.

Spill-response drill shows readiness

WESTERN CANADA MARINE RESPONSE CORP. PUT THROUGH PACES FOR CERTIFICATION

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com It’s 6:30 a.m., and workers at Pacific Coast Terminals are busy loading a ship with canola oil when disaster strikes.

A hose has failed, leaking 120 tonnes of the liquid into the marine environment.

The Port Moody company has initiated an emergency response by containing the source of the spill using a preliminary boom.

PCT has also put out a call to Western Canada Marine Response Corp. (WCMRC), the organization tasked with leading the cleanup response for this spill — or any other such oil disaster on the West Coast.

In turn, WCMRC has responded with a fleet of vessels and equipment aimed at containment, recovery and storage of spill material within the harbour.

Fortunately, the situation

Western Canada Marine Response Corp. crews practised their spill response Wednesday in Burrard Inlet. isn’t real and is just a test, but the exercise is part of an annual certification process WCMRC must go through to show its readiness to handle a major spill on the water.

On Wednesday, the organization, in partnership with PCT, carried out the certification exercise and gave the

media a close-up look at part of the operation.

WCMRC’s Michael Lowry explained the first step in a response is to control the source of the spill.

The next step is to contain the spill by laying down a boom, which floats on the water, around the source

of the spill.

As for PCT, the company — which will start to receive canola oil as part of an expansion by 2015 — said it’s also prepared for a spill.

Spokesperson Diana Dilworth said the company isn’t worried about a spill at the terminal, pointing out every vessel that comes in will be contained with a primary boom.

“In the case of a spill, we do have plans and programs in place,” she said, adding every potential incident has been forecast and dealt with.

Food truck program may be expanded Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com They’re an easy option when you don’t have time to sit down for a lengthy meal, and soon Port Moody residents and business owners will have their say on whether the city should allow more food trucks.

On Tuesday, city council approved a motion to seek public input on expanding its mobile food vendor program.

According to a staff report, the city spoke to a number of food truck vendors in other areas and learned that for a program to be successful, the location of a food truck and the ability to relocate is critical.

Locations where foot traffic nears 300 people per hour has been suggested as the minimum to make food trucks operationally viable.

The report noted since Port Moody has limited locations that would be viable for the permanent placement of food trucks, staff have recommended combining the Concert in the Park food truck

Port Moody is considering allowing more food trucks, but with limits on hours and locations. program in Rocky Point Park with the on-street program.

Stipulations being considered include picking the vendors on a yearly basis, having a maximum of three food trucks in the first year, and restricting hours of operation from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week.

The city is also considering a stipulation that would keep food trucks at a 50- to 100metre distance from “brick and mortar” restaurants.

In terms of public consul-

tation, the discussion will revolve around the proposed on-street locations of food trucks.

Council asked staff to identify a handful of possible locations for the program.

An open house on the issue isn’t expected to be scheduled until early next year.

The food cart program was originally brought in as a pilot project in 2012, allowing vendors into Rocky Point Park on Sundays for the concert series.

Trio facing charges after police chase

RCMP SAY 2 MEN AND A WOMAN IN STOLEN CAR FOLLOWED BY HELICOPTER

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com A trio of suspects could be facing several charges after running from police in Port Coquitlam Tuesday.

The incident began just after 3 p.m. when Coquitlam Mounties responded to a minor hit-and-run.

The suspect vehicle, which turned out to be stolen, was spotted a short time later in the 2600 block of Kingsway Avenue.

The vehicle then started to drive away, but rather than give chase, police say, the car was followed closely by an RCMP helicopter.

Shortly after, the suspect

vehicle crashed into a police car at Lougheed Highway south of Pitt River Road.

The car then turned around and headed toward downtown PoCo before it finally failed on the suspects.

After a 20-minute ordeal, two men and a woman inside the car were arrested on Pitt River Road near Shaughnessy Street.

No one was injured in the incident.

Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said one suspect is known to local Mounties and charges are pending against the people involved.

Their names have not been released.

Chung also said it’s lucky

no one was hurt, crediting police protocol.

“The bad guy got apprehended and no one got hurt,” he said. “I think it’s because we have good procedures and we followed them, that being not chasing a vehicle and we have other avenues of keeping track of the vehicle.”

Police didn’t say what the three suspects, who are all adults, were allegedly up to before the initial hit-and run.

While the case is still under investigation, police would like to speak to witnesses and are asking anyone with information to call the detachment at 604-945-1550 and quote file No. 2014-29448. twitter.com/jertricitiesnow

“I want to take a break,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. “I’ve done my bit for the city for the moment. I want to move on to other things.”

For the popular politician, his decision to step away was literally made in the final hour.

When asked to reflect on his time on council, he said three issues that stood out included the arrival of SkyTrain to the community, the new fire hall and construction of the recreation complex.

Though Elliott may be stepping back from council, he won’t be all that far away.

He said he intends to sign up to sit on the city’s library and police boards.

Elliott also didn’t rule out a return to politics in four years.

“As a politician, you never say never to the next election,” he said.

And talking like a true politician, Elliott had nice things to say about both Port Moody mayors he shared time with on council: Joe Trasolini and Mike Clay.

He said he enjoyed working for both men over the years.

“I totally respect the job they do,” he said.

“I would never want to be mayor.”

His last council meeting will be Oct. 28.

Elliott’s retirement opens up at least one new spot on city council. The remainder of incumbent councillors are running for another term.

Glass recycling OK’d in Port Moody CITY PLANS TO START CURBSIDE PICKUP SERVICE IN ABOUT 5 MONTHS

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com It’s been the biggest issue for Port Moody residents related to the new regime put in place to handle recycling throughout the province.

With the introduction of Multi-Material BC back in May, glass containers were not allowed to be mixed with other recyclables in the municipality.

But that’s about to change.

On Tuesday, Port Moody city council voted to implement a monthly curbside pickup program and, in the interim, to establish glass drop-off depots in the community.

While there was some debate around the issue of public consultation, including the possibility of adding a referendum question on the civic election ballot, council ultimately decided to give city staff the go-ahead to start on the program.

There was also some interest in getting feedback from the public on the frequency of the service.

It’s expected to take up to five months for the curbside pickup to start.

Coun. Rosemary Small said the city needs glass pickup and was amazed it’s taken so long to get the program going.

“The sooner we move on with it, the better,” she said.

Coun. Rick Glumac also suggested there is a desire in the community to have a program.

He made a case for skipping the referendum and going straight into implementing the service.

He said the city can tweak the frequency of service after six months, if needed.

Coun. Diana Dilworth voted against the motion, explaining she’s in favour of curbside glass pickup, but not with the process.

She wants more public consultation before approving the program.

For communities like Port Moody that use a single-stream recycling system, glass is no longer collected using a single-stream cart. There are also no MMBC depots in Port Moody. The closest are in Coquitlam and Burnaby.

By signing on to MMBC, the city saved $500,000, which it gave back to taxpayers in the form of lower utility bills.

The glass pickup program would cost an estimated $273,000 annually, which equates to about $29 per household and $18 for those paying a centralized multi-family rate.

A city staff report also recommends establishing drop-off depots at four locations around the city.

Those locations have yet to be identified. twitter.com/jertricitiesnow

THE TRI-CITIES NOW

| FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2014

Tri-Cities NOW is a division of LMP Publication Limited Partnership.

Our offices are located at 216-3190 St. Johns Street, Port Moody BC V3H 2C7 Phone: 604-444-3451

If you see something, say something

F

or police, it’s like a broken record.

Over and over, police departments keep telling the public, and the media, that if they see something or someone suspicious near where they live, to let them know.

When it comes to catching bad guys, they’ll almost always appeal for any help to identify a suspect.

Be it a car crash, assault or something as minor as vandalism, witnesses can play a big role in police investigations.

Case in point: this week, Coquitlam Mounties announced they had identified the man behind an alleged car keying in Belcarra last month.

The detachment released a still photo taken from a video camera on the car in the hopes of tracking down the person responsible.

No doubt, the crime isn’t exactly breaking a 10 on the seriousness scale, and the person, whose name wasn’t released, probably feels enough shame already.

This isn’t about the act itself, but about how police solved the situation.

They relied on a tip from the public.

As RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung put it: “This is a good example of ‘If you know something, call us with the information.’”

Indeed, that is true.

Often people are either afraid to call police or don’t believe officers will bother to respond.

But more likely, people think whatever they might know may not even be useful.

While those reasons may not be unreasonable, it doesn’t hurt to make a call.

You could just be the break police need to bring justice to a victim of crime.

Not all seniors are rich RECENT ARTICLES DON’T REFLECT THE VOICE OF SENIORS

A

geism can take many forms, however like any discrimination it has, at its core, a desire to stereotype an entire group of people.

On Oct. 1, we celebrated the United Nations International Day of the Older Person. This year’s theme, “Leaving No One Behind: Promoting a Society for All,” should be a reminder to practise inclusion by resisting the temptation to stereotype anyone, including seniors.

To this end, there has been much discussion in the media recently about the increased and relative affluence of seniors. Some, such as Maclean’s Magazine have baited divisiveness with the headline “Old. Rich. Spoiled.”

Throughout the various articles and headlines of late, I have struggled to find the voice of actual seniors reflected.

What I have found instead is incomplete information that has resulted in a misrepresentation of the economic plight of many seniors.

Statistics Canada pegs the 2011 median income for those over 65 at $23,700.

This means that 50 per cent of seniors in Canada are living on less than $23,700 per year, with the majority living alone.

Compare this to the median income for 35 to 44 year olds at $43,300 with the overwhelming majority living in a two-person household sharing costs that are often borne by the single senior.

Here in British Columbia alone, we have over 52,000 seniors who are living on $16,300 per year or less.

While it is true that some low-income seniors live in a home with no mortgage, they still face property tax, insurance and maintenance and repair costs, all on a fixed income that is often not guaranteed to keep pace with inflation.

Their equity in some cases has either been borrowed against, or is an insurance policy for future care costs.

Additionally, let’s not forget the 20 per cent of senior households that are renting and face annual increases against an often stagnant income. Seniors face health-care costs related to drugs, mobility aids, dental care, eyeglasses and hearing aids, with no workplace benefit plans to defray costs.

Householders today are enjoying record low interest rates. While this is a boon for some homeowners, it can be a hardship for the overwhelming majority of seniors, who do not receive a defined benefit pension plan and must produce an adequate retirement income from savings and investments.

It is important to remember that, whatever wealth seniors might have (outside of their primary residence) they are usually required to produce an income from it, unlike people who receive their income from employment and can allow their wealth to compound.

The issue of the low income and poverty of some seniors is only one part of the picture. Seniors also make significant contributions to our communities and our health-care system. We know that the greatest amount of volunteering is done by seniors. More significantly, perhaps, is the millions of hours of care that is provided every year in this country by seniors to their spouses and, in some cases, their parents.

If seniors didn’t step up each and every day to the needs of their community, the cost to all levels of government would be staggering. The contribution of unpaid caregivers over 65 alone is an estimated $4-billion savings to the

Canadian health-care system.

In addition to their contributions of unpaid labour, seniors also contribute to the costs of their care. In B.C., seniors pay: 80 per cent of their income toward the cost of residential care to a maximum of $3,092.66; 70 per cent of their income toward the cost of government-subsidized assisted living with a maximum that varies according to local market conditions; and they co-pay the costs of their home support on a sliding scale based on income.

While it may be fair to question whether a minority of higher-income seniors should benefit from the caps, it is also very evident that the majority of seniors are surrendering significant amounts of their income to subsidize their care needs.

The seniors of today, like the seniors of tomorrow, are unique individuals.

Some have money; some do not. Some have good health; some do not. Some contribute to their community; others less so. Some need our help; others do not. What is most important is that we value the uniqueness of seniors just as we do those who are not yet 65 and in so doing, ensure we leave no one behind and create a society for all.

Isobel Mackenzie was appointed as Seniors Advocate for B.C. in March. Prior to this role, she spent two decades working with seniors in home care, licensed dementia care, assisted living and volunteer and community services. She also served with the Canadian Home Care Association, BC Care Providers and the Medical Services Commission of BC.

LETTERS PROVINCE IS NEGLECTING KIDS ON BURKE MOUNTAIN

Re: “Parents band together to get bus,” Wednesday, Oct. 15.

Once again the BC Liberal government has shown that they do not have the best interests of students at heart.

Instead of following through on their promise to build schools in the Burke Mountain area, this government has forced parents to band together to fund their own private transportation to take their children to schools that are not within walking distance.

While I applaud the initiative of parents, and commend Wesbild for donating funds to subsidize the plan, ultimately it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that students have access to public education within their neighbourhoods.

Burke Mountain is growing at a rate that will ensure that even once the schools that are slated to be built are finally ready to open their doors they will already be at capacity.

This government needs to step up and move forward with

This is nothing more than a moniker for an NDP “slate” for Coquitlam city council, which is oddly similar to Derek Corrigan’s “Burnaby Citizens Association.”

Keying suspect ID’d

right away … and it lessens the burden on the court system,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. Last week, police released an image of a man they said keyed a parked vehicle in Belcarra Regional Park. The suspect was caught in the act by the high-end car’s motionsensing camera.

Police are not intending to release the suspect’s name — since no charges are expected — where he lives, or a motive for the vandalism. Chung noted investigators don’t believe the man is responsible for any other car keyings in the Tri-Cities.

Chung suggested the case proves that members of the public can help police solve crimes.

“I think this is a good example of ‘If you know something, call us with the information,’” he said.

jdeutsch@thenownews.com Coquitlam Mounties have identified the man behind an alleged car keying in Belcarra last month, but he may not face any charges.

RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said police received a tip from the public that helped identify the man believed responsible for the vandalism, but investigators are considering an option other than regular charges. They’re considering pursuing alternative dispute resolution in the case, if all sides agree.

Provincial law allows for small claims disputes to be dealt with by a tribunal instead of the courts, up to a maximum value of $25,000. Chung noted the offense falls into the category of vandalism under $5,000.

Port Moody city council OK’s controversial OCP TWO COUNCILLORS VOTE AGAINST OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN THAT WILL GUIDE LAND USE

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com With time winding down for the current Port Moody city council, politicians took one more kick at the can when it comes to the municipality’s official community plan.

On Tuesday, council held its fourth and final vote on the 250-plus page document, approving the plan — but not without some dissent.

Couns. Rick Glumac and Zoe Royer voted against the OCP, calling for the plan to be deferred.

Royer suggested it should be brought back for the next council to make a decision.

She also argued the plan puts the city at risk of a legal battle with Metro Vancouver, noting the regional district doesn’t support it.

“Together,MetroVancouver municipalities agreed to a regional growth strategy and with that agreement came some expectations and that was to ensure our regional context-statement was consistent with the growth strategy,” Royer said.

“And whether you really want the OCP and you see some great things [in it] … there are also some things that do not work.”

Glumac also suggested the OCP conflicts with the regional growth strategy and could be subject to a legal challenge.

He argued the document has no limits on density and in key areas no limits in building heights, giving developers an opportunity to come forward with proposals that are out of character with the community.

“This OCP will not preserve the small-town feel of Port Moody,” Glumac said.

But other councillors disagreed.

Coun. Diana Dilworth said she doesn’t agree with every decision that went into the plan but argued the document provides broad guidance and direction based on input from council and residents.

“I believe it provides flexibility that will allow future councils and future residents of the day to amend or change direction based on unanticipated circumstances,” she said.

Mayor Mike Clay said the city needs to move on to other programs, suggesting the municipality has a monster home issue because the

bylaws can’t be updated until they match the OCP. “We know there’s always going to be people who aren’t in favour of the OCP,” he said, adding there are others who like the plan.

Clay also said the city has no obligation to meet Metro Vancouver population targets, and instead believes the regional district, by putting in targets, just wants to know communities are planning as a region.

Outside of council chambers, mayoral candidate Gaetan Royer said he opposes the current OCP and would re-open the document if elected.

“It is a flawed plan. It is a plan that does not protect the interests of the residents,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. Gaetan Royer said he envisions a plan that includes low-rise business development around the SkyTrain

Port Moody police are hoping members of the public can help them track down two “people of interest” related to a jewelry store theft.

On Aug. 1, police said a man and a women entered Aurifax Jewellers on Morrissey Road, allegedly stealing a $1,600 ring from a showcase.

Police released a picture of the two suspects and are asking anyone with information about the pair to contact the department or Crime Stoppers.

Pink breakfast Oct. 25 Jeremy DEUTSCH

They’re the first faces you see when you have an emergency and need help.

And when one of their own is in need of support, firefighters are just as quick to lend a hand.

That’s the idea behind a tasty fundraiser that will fill your stomach with pink goodness.

Next Saturday (Oct. 25), the Coquitlam Firefighters Charitable Society will host its inaugural Pink Pancake Breakfast in support of the BC/Yukon Breast Cancer Foundation.

From 9 a.m. to noon at the Town Centre Fire Station at 1300 Pinetree Way, firefighters will serve up a pink breakfast to the public for a suggested donation of $5.

Kim Saulnier, a fire inspector with the department and an event organizer, said the department decided to put on the breakfast in support of colleagues and family members.

She explained the department acquired a pink fire truck last year to support a fire captain who underwent treatment for breast cancer.

The captain is back at work, but another member’s wife is going through a similar situa-

The amendment includes reserve reallocations and a number of expenditures approved by the Finance and Intergovernmental Committee including: Transportation projects funded from the Transportation reserve:

tion.

“There’s so many of our members here at Coquitlam Fire where their family members have had to fight breast cancer and, sad to say, there may be more,” Saulnier said, noting October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“We want to fight cancer like we fight fire, like a team.”

Besides eating breakfast, the event will give attendees a chance to dine in the hall and tour the pink fire truck.

Saulnier said the department is hoping for a big turnout and to make the pink breakfast an annual event.

If you’re going to head down to the fire hall that day, there are a couple of things to consider.

Guests are asked not to enter at the front of the fire hall — as the entrance is needed in case vehicles have to leave for an emergency. Instead, use the north entrance.

Parking Lot E in Town Centre Park will be opened up for free parking during the event, as will the Pinetree Secondary lot.

ROAD

The Venza shares the same platform as the Toyota Camry and Highlander.

Therefore, the V6 engine, transmission, brakes, steering and suspension are the same and can be trusted as reliable and dependable.

However, the Venza is more than just an amalgamation of the two models.

The Venza offers the comfort you expect from a premium sedan and combines it with the higher seating position and outward visibility associated with an SUV. It also provides a wider, more

athletic stance and available all-wheel-drive.

The Venza is also a product exclusive to North America.

Despite the fact that it shares its platform with other Toyota vehicles, the U.S.based design team made sure it is visually different than the Camry and its larger sibling, the Highlander.

While it sits taller than a Camry, step-in height remains low, so getting in and out is still easy for height-challenged people and the elderly. Also, since it has a lower centre of gravity, the Venza is naturally safer and sportier than traditional SUVs. Seven standard airbags add to the peace-of-mind.

Even though the Venza was given a makeover last year, the visual differences were limited to the grille, mirrors and lights. The standard 19-inch wheels (20-inch wheels are available) give it a muscular appearance.

BOUNDARY

he Toyota Venza is somewhat unique in Toyota’s line up, which consists of highquality models with generic characteristics. The Venza boasts expressive styling, an engaging driving experience, driver-friendly technology and impressive versatility that give it a bit more charisma.

The Venza is larger than the RAV4, yet smaller than the seven-passenger Highlander. This makes the Venza a great choice for someone looking for the versatility of a small SUV, who doesn’t want the bulk or brutish look of some SUVs. While the Venza’s car-like chassis does limit its off-road ability and towing capacity, its reliable choice of engines, comfortable seating for five and impressive standard features make it a strong competitor in the crossover SUV segment.

The Venza experienced some notable changes for the 2013 model year, so Toyota didn’t make huge alterations for 2014. XLE and Limited

Toyota Venza is roomy and versatile

CONT. FROM PAGE 15

the Venza, as in the past. The base model Venza comes with a 2.7-litre four-cylinder, which returns a combined city/highway fuel economy rating of 8.6L/100km.

However, the Venza is not a light vehicle and with only 182 hp available, merging onto a highway is not the easiest.

The 268 hp, 3.5-litre V6 is much more up to the task. This engine still achieves a combined fuel economy rating of 9.6L/100km. This should be the engine of choice for those who plan to do a lot of highway driving.

Regardless of which power plant you choose, it will be mated to a six-speed automatic ECT transmission with sequential shift mode.

Also, both can be equipped with AWD drivetrain for increased traction all year.

All Venza models come with electric power steering, which is surprisingly responsive and provides a reasonable amount of feedback.

It can feel a bit heavy at slower speeds, however.

The large wheels — which look nice — are a bit harsh over rough pavement and allow some noise to enter the cabin, but add to the overall styling.

have to leave the rear hatch while loading larger items.

Standard on the Venza is a Display Audio system using a 6.1inch touchscreen that is capable of connecting to external devices through an auxiliary audio jack, a USB port or via Bluetooth. Voicerecognition is also standard and several upgrade packages, including leather seats and navigation, are available.

Overall, the comfort level is high and the seats provide good support over long drives.

Features SUBMITTED PHOTO

Starting prices for the Toyota Venza range from $28,695 to $32,250.

There are four models and three packages to choose from.

Environment

The cabin inside the Venza feels large, airy and spacious in all directions. Head, leg and hip room numbers are all near the top of the segment. To make the cabin feel even more airy, an optional panoramic moon roof allows all occupants to enjoy the sky.

From the eight-way adjustable driver seat, the instrument panel features a high-visibility Optitron

display. Toyota also allows Venza owners to adjust the size of the font of the information centre to increase readability.

Since the Venza has no third row of seating, it is able to offer 70.1 cubic feet of cargo space when the seats are folded down. To increase its utility, the Venza has standard 60/40 split folding second-row seats with a remote release in the cargo area. This means you don’t

Starting prices range from $28,695 to $32,250. The Venza has four models to choose from and three packages.

Standard equipment includes keyless entry, eight-way power adjustable driver seat with memory function, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, heated exterior mirrors with turn signals, power rear hatch and automatic headlights.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include leather seats, heated front seats, backup camera, navigation, pushbutton start and automatic high beams.

Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for FWD four-cylinder models are 10.0 city, 6.9 highway for 8.6 combined, while AWD models return 10.2 city, 7.1 highway and 8.8 combined. Six-cylinder models in FWD trim are rated at 11.1 city, 7.7 highway and 9.6 combined, and AWD models see 11.4 city and 7.9 highway, for 9.8 combined.

Thumbs Up Making AWD available across the Venza range is a much-appreciated gesture from Toyota. The one-touch, fold-flat seats certainly make the Venza very user-friendly.

The car provides a good balance of performance and comfort.

Thumbs Down While the base engine is reasonably economical, it still leaves plenty to desire. It is somewhat unique in its approach but is it unique enough?

The Bottom Line The 2014 Toyota Venza is a roomy, versatile crossover that offers premium styling and car-like driving dynamics that are hard to beat in this class.

Tips for pet owners looking to go green

lifestyle. For example, if you own a pet, explore the following ways to incorporate green living into pet care.

Cleaning

Adoption Adopting a dog, cat, bird or bunny from a local animal shelter or rescue organization is more environmentally friendly than buying directly from a breeder.

Overpopulation of pets contributes to waste, and adopting a shelter animal can help maintain the pet population while providing pets with a new home.

Buying in bulk Purchasing pet food and other products in bulk saves you trips to the store and reduces the need for additional packaging. Consider chipping in with other pet owners and splitting large bags of food or other supplies if you have too much surplus.

You also can donate any extra food or supplies you don’t use to an area rescue group.

When buying, look for products made from natural,

Pet waste is not only a nuisance and eye sore, but detrimental to the environment.

Dog waste can be toxic to a lawn, causing discolouration and burns. Estimates suggest that dog waste may contain around 23 million fecal coliform bacteria in a single gram. Dog feces also can harbour heartworms, hookworms, roundworms and many other parasites.

According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, pet droppings can contribute to zoonoses, which are diseases animals pass to humans.

When infected dog waste is deposited on your lawn, the eggs of certain parasites may linger in your soil for years. Anyone who comes into contact with that soil runs the risk of contact with those eggs. Promptly picking up and properly disposing of waste can reduce the likelihood of a potential parasite infestation.

Dr.Paunovic ASK

Don’t force your pet to dress up for Halloween

Dr. Paunovic

A

re you dressing your pet up for trick or treating?

As with our own children, there are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to costume safety.

Before you dress up your four-legged friends, the leading retailer, PetSmart, offers some valuable guidance: Tags: Your pets should always have identification and registration tags on their collars.

This simple little rule is even more important at this time of year, when they will be exposed to many opportunities for escape. Think about how many times you open your door on Halloween night!

Don’t force it: If your dog or cat doesn’t want to wear a costume, don’t force the issue.

Try getting them comfortable with the costume first. Start slow, dressing them in pieces to gauge their reaction.

Make sure it’s comfortable: A costume should never confine, constrain or aggravate your pet.

Watch for loose parts and chewing hazards: Once the costume is on and is fitted properly, make sure there isn’t anything that could be a trip or burn hazard, like a cape or long flowing hair. Check the costume for little parts that are within biting or chewing distance.

Make sure they can see, hear and breathe freely: Look closely at the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and throat of your dog or cat once they are dressed. If you need to, make phys-

ical adjustments to the costume, especially if it increases their ability to see, hear and breathe.

This may include changes to the eye and ear holes, or removing whole portions of the outfit.

Dental Care can help prevent periodontal disease Periodontal disease in essence is the inflammation and loss of gums and surrounding structures of the tooth. In the early stages, periodontal disease has very few symptoms; and in many individuals the disease has progressed significantly before they seek treatment. Symptoms may include: • Redness or bleeding of gums while brushing or flossing or biting into hard food (e.g. apples) • Gum swelling that recurs • Spitting out blood after brushing teeth • Bad breath, and a persistent metallic taste in the mouth • Gum recession, (resulting in apparent lengthening of teeth) • Loose teeth, in the later stages Gingival inflammation and periodontal disease are largely painless. However, research has shown that periodontal disease is associated with several other conditions that effect the whole body.

Initially it was thought that bacteria was the factor that linked periodontal disease to other disease in the body; however, the latest research shows that inflammation may be main culprit. Below are some of the conditions that have shown association with the periodontal disease.

DIABETES AND PERIODONTAL DISEASE People with diabetes are more likely to have periodontal disease than people without diabetes, probably because people with diabetes are more susceptible to contracting infections. In fact, periodontal disease is often considered a complication of diabetes. Those people who don’t have their diabetes under control are especially at risk. Research has suggested that the relationship between diabetes and periodontal disease goes both ways periodontal disease may make it more difficult for people who have diabetes to control their blood sugar. Severe periodontal disease can increase blood sugar, contributing to increased periods of time when the body functions with a high blood sugar. This puts people with diabetes at increased risk for diabetic complications. If you are living with diabetes, it is paramount to consult with

your dentist to make sure you are not at risk for periodontal disease.

PERIODONTAL DISEASE AND HEART DISEASE Significant research has shown that periodontal disease is associated with heart disease. Even though a cause-and-effect relationship has not yet been proven, but research has indicated that periodontal disease increases the risk of heart disease. Periodontal

disease can also worsen existing heart conditions. Patients at risk for infective endocarditis may require antibiotics prior to dental procedures. Please consult with your dentist as he/she will be able to determine if your heart condition requires use of antibiotics prior to dental procedures.

OSTEOPOROSIS Researchers have suggested that a link between osteoporosis and bone loss in the jaw. Studies suggest that osteoporosis may lead to tooth loss because the density of the bone that supports the teeth may be decreased, which means the teeth no longer have a solid foundation.

RESPIRATORY DISEASE Research has found that bacteria that grow in the oral cavity can be aspirated into the lungs to cause respiratory diseases such as pneumonia, especially in people with periodontal disease.

CANCER Researchers found that men with gum disease were 49% more likely to develop kidney cancer, 54% more likely to develop pancreatic cancer, and 30% more likely to develop blood cancers.

PREGNANCY Pregnant women who have periodontal disease may be more likely to have a baby that is born too early and too small.

However, more research is needed to confirm how periodontal disease may affect pregnancy outcomes.

All infections are cause for concern among pregnant women because they pose a risk to the health of the baby.

It is recommended that women who are pregnant or are considering pregnancy have a periodontal evaluation by their dentist, and as the pregnancy progresses, it is very important to follow a good at-home dental hygiene regimen, including regular brushing and flossing, and regular cleaning appointments.

TREATMENT Early diagnosis is important for successful treatment of periodontal diseases.

Therefore, it is important that you receive a comprehensive periodontal examination as part of your routine dental visits. The most important preventive step against periodontal disease is to establish good oral health habits. There are basic preventive steps to help your maintain good oral health: Establish good dental hygiene habits including brushing and flossing daily.

Schedule regular dental visits for family checkups, periodontal evaluations and cleanings. Check your own mouth for the signs of periodontal disease, including bleeding gums, swollen and bright red gums, gums that are receding away from the teeth and bad breath. if you have any of those signs, be sure to consult a dental professional

Gala at Hard Rock to benefit youth group ACCESS YOUTH OUTREACH SERVICES SOCIETY HOPES TO RAISE $25K AT OCT. 24 EVENT

John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com It’s being billed as an event to empower, inspire and inform the community about the work the ACCESS Youth Outreach Services Society does — and the work that still needs to be done.

The group will hold its Evening of Inspiration Gala on Friday, Oct. 24 in the theatre at Coquitlam’s Hard Rock Casino Vancouver.

“We want people to have a greater understanding and to learn what’s going on out there to find out the successes that we as an organization have had over the years,” said Jerome Bouvier, the society’s executive director.

Now in its third year, the event is the society’s marquee annual fundraiser, and any money raised goes back into the organization to fund its programming and staffing needs.

The first event raised just over $10,000, while 2013’s

This year, the bar has been set at $25,000.

“It’s our main event.

Because we’re an organization that relies on grants, donations and fundraisers only, we value this event quite a lot,” Bouvier said.

Global TV personality Kaitlyn Herbst will host the gala, while the band Cheek to Cheek will be the evening’s main entertainment.

A hip hop trio consisting of students from PoCo’s Encore Dance Academy will also take to the stage.

More than 60 silent auction items will be featured, along with a handful of live auction items: including a $2,800 round trip voucher to anywhere WestJet flies, flight and hotel accommodations for a trip to Victoria, a Via Rail trip package, and a First Nations carving valued at more than $3,000.

Three guest speakers, who either volunteer or are affiliated with ACCESS, will outline the group’s role in the community and how it benefits the lives of local youth.

“When you’re in an election year, everybody talks about the typical issues around infrastructure, taxes and businesses,” Bouvier said.

“But we tend to forget our families and our youth and the challenges that they’re facing. This is a chance for people to really look into the

world our young people are facing.”

Tickets cost $70 for individual seats, or $525 for a table of eight.

Prep your yard for winter

A

s quickly as autumn weather arrives it seems to move aside for the blustery, cold days of winter. Winter can catch a person off guard and the seasons are now less predictable than ever before.

It’s never too early to begin preparing your yard and outdoor living spaces for winter. Homeowners may be sad to bid farewell to the furniture and accessories of the fair-weather season, but time is of the essence when prepping for impending ice and snow.

Clean patio furniture Give cushions and structures a thorough cleaning and allow them to dry completely. Cleaning items before storing them for the winter saves time and energy next year when it’s time once again to set up the yard for recreation. If anything is damaged beyond repair, discard it and look for replacements during end-of-season sales when savings can be had.

Move things indoors The more items you can store in a safe and secure location, the better.

Load the garage, basement or storage shed with outdoor gear. Leaving items exposes them to the elements, and such exposure can cause rust, wear and damage. Flower pots and lawn ornaments also can blow around in winter wind or collapse under the weight of the snow,

so collect these items and store them for the winter. Take out patio umbrellas and put them in the shed. If something is too large to move indoors, such as a barbecue or a pool filter, cover it with a durable tarp and secure it with rope.

Cover delicate trees Depending on where you live, certain fruit trees, including fig trees, may need to be covered for the winter. Covering protects them from subfreezing temperatures and helps ensure they will rebound in the spring. Tropical plants should be moved indoors where they can thrive in a heated home. Do not rip out chrysanthemum plants. Contrary to popular belief, these are not annuals.

They will rebloom year after year if allowed to do so.

Remove water collectors Bring in or cover anything that may accumulate water, such as bird baths or kids’ toys. Water expands when frozen, and that means water trapped in any ceramic, glass or even plastic vessel can expand and cause the container to crack.

Clean up leaves and debris Piles of leaves not only can suffocate a lawn and cause discolouration, but also can be attractive homes for rodents and insects looking for a warm place to spend their winters. Keep your yard neat and clean to discourage wildlife from

taking up residence near your home.

Cover vegetable and flower beds Invest in some burlap to lay down over planting beds. This helps to keep the ground from freezing over and minimizes weeds for next season.

Care for outdoor ponds If you have a pond on your property, remove any weeds around it and fish out any leaves from the water. Leaves will decay in the water and build up ammonia levels that can harm fish. If the pond is small, cover it for the winter.

Also, start cutting back on feeding outdoor fish. These aquatic animals’ bodies begin to prepare for winter by slowing down metabolism. Continuing to feed them can harm the fish when the temperature drops.

Wrap up pool season It’s wise to close the pool and cover it before leaves start to drop. Otherwise you will have a hard time keeping the water clean.

Plant spring bulbs now Now is a good time to plan where you want to put spring bulbs. Once you have mapped things out, get the bulbs in the ground. Bulbs are relatively inexpensive and will provide that first punch of colour when winter finally skips town.

Protect your home faceb from the ‘Silent Killer’

W

hile November gets attention for Remembrance Day and for being the month we change our clocks back (in much of Canada), it also marks the time of year when most home heating systems get pressed back into service. That brings the increased threat of carbon monoxide in our homes — and the need for carbon monoxide alarms to keep families safe.

While smoke alarms have had more than 25 years to become part of any safe home, CO alarms are still a relatively new entry. Here are some tips to help arm yourself against this deadly gas, dubbed the “Silent Killer” because you cannot see, smell or taste it.

Carbon monoxide gas has almost the same density as air. That means it mixes freely with it, rather than rising above it (like hot air) or falling below it (like cold air).

Since CO mixes with air, that means that a CO alarm can be installed anywhere: on the ceiling alone or as a combination smoke/CO alarm (battery powered or hardwired); down near floor-level (plug-in); or on a bookcase or shelf (battery power only).

If you choose a plug-in or hardwired model, be sure it also has a battery backup. A power outage is no time to be unprotected.

Symptoms of CO exposure include feelings similar to the flu, without the fever. Another telltale sign that you may have CO in your home: You feel lethargic, nauseous and achy at home but quickly feel better when you go out. Then, when you return, the flu-like symptoms return.

Two of today’s most popular CO alarm choices are: models that have battery backup and continuous (not push-button) digital displays that show you if low levels of the gas are present, allowing you to take corrective action before an emergency can happen, and; CO alarms that have sealed lithium batteries that last 10 years from activation. These “worry-free” alarms never need to be changed for the 10-year life of the device.

One more advantage to replacing aging CO alarms? New models feature a built-in “end of life” signal that tells you when 10 years are up and it is time to replace the entire unit.

“When you do the math, a homeowner can save about $40 during the 10-year lifespan of their alarm by switching to a worry-free model with a sealed lithium battery,” says Carol Heller, a home safety expert with alarm manufacturer Kidde Canada.

“And since most homes have at least two smoke alarms and one CO alarm, the savings can really add up. On top of that, the freedom of never having to change batteries again is a real hit with homeowners.”

Coquitlam Centre invites Tri-Cities residents looking for anything from a round of golf to a culinary adventure featuring Rob Feenie-inspired food with wine pairings to check out what the auction has to offer.

“We’ve all been touched by bullying, whether it’s personal or happened to a family member or friend,” Deborah Stetz, marketing director of Coquitlam Centre, said in a press release.

“We want to see a change, and we believe that change starts with us. The Ultimate Online Auction, which kicks off on Oct. 18th, is Coquitlam Centre’s way of publicly raising awareness and funds for this unbelievable, professionally managed texting platform.

“We want to get people talking; bullying is a very real problem in schools and in society. With the support of our community, we have the

potential to create a shift.”

Throughout October, Coquitlam Centre and Vancity branches in the Tri-Cities are selling I Am Someone “bullying” emoticon buttons for $5 a button, with all proceeds going to the I Am Someone Ending Bullying Society and 2TALK. “Almost 90 per cent of parents think their children will tell them if they are being bullied,” Stetz said.

“Yet only eight per cent of them will. That is an astounding statistic, it’s a crisis waiting to happen and it’s up to each of us to do something about it. 2TALK can help youth connect with the resources they need to deal with their situation.”

Steady play nets Kim win

LISA KING/NOW

BALL BATTLE: Terry Fox Ravens’ Ian Elliott, left, gets in front of Heritage Woods Kodiak Jacob McMahon during recent senior boys high school soccer action. The Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils remain undefeated in league play.

Spectacular finish for Spartans Dan OLSON

sports@thenownews.com Go tell the Spartans congratulations on a job well done.

The Coquitlam Metro-Ford under-16 boys soccer team were at the top of their game on the other side of the country, returning with the Sport Chek national club crown after edging the West Toronto Cobras 2-1 in the final on Monday.

And while they outscored their rivals 14-1 over five games, Coquitlam proved more than worthy with a pair of well-deserving extra time victories.

In the final, markers by Nate Trampleasure and Devon Jones — the latter converting a cornerkick from Matteo Polisi for what stood up as the winner — gave the Spartans a 2-0 lead in the first of two 15-minute extra sessions. Toronto narrowed the

gap with but a few minutes left in the second extra frame, but Coquitlam stood its ground.

They controlled the tempo much of the tournament, and did the same in the composure department, too.

“This is a very disciplined team, and that’s something I preach all the time to my teams,” remarked Spartan head coach Les Krivak. “We may have had an easier group [than West Toronto] but we played smart... We only had one yellow [card] in the tournament and it came in extra-time in the final.”

The west coast crew had barely landed before an obstacle was placed before them. In their first practice captain and centreback Janko Vong dislocated his elbow and was lost for the tournament.

In his absence, the squad buckled down and worked together to maintain its eye on the prize.

They blasted the Newfoundland champion 5-0

SPORTS SHORTS PANTHERS UNFURL TWIN WINS

The slump has been bumped.

The Port Moody Panthers ended an eight-game winless skid with back-to-back victories over Abbotsford and Delta.

Saturday’s 7-1 triumph over Abbotsford provided the club with its first win of the season. Led by second-year forward Adam Rota, who collected a hat trick, the Panthers netted four unanswered goals in the second period to take a commanding lead. Derian White chipped in two goals and set up two others, while netminder Spencer Kozlowski kicked out 33 shots.

With that win achieved, the Panthers went out and notched their second, a 4-2 doubling of Delta in Ladner. Rota and White again led the offence with two goals each. A Coquitlam native, Rota now has 10 goals in 10 games.

Port Moody, 2-9-0-1, will try to extend its winning streak to three on Saturday, 7:45 p.m. when they host Aldergrove.

in the opener, with Jones scoring four first-half goals and Jared Horvath recording the shutout, then faced a crucial test against Halifax.

“I know a little bit about who’s strong back east as this is my fourth nationals,” noted Krivak. “I thought [Halifax] would be the crucial game of the round-robin and I made the lineup with that in mind.”

It wasn’t Coquitlam’s best start, however, but as they’ve done all year, they finished with a flurry to collect a 1-0 win, with the shutout by Austin Cho. They would continue the air-tight defence in wins over New Brunswick (2-0) and PEI (4-0), setting up the final showdown with West Toronto.

For a second time, the squad came out uneasy, but began to settle in and regain their footing in a scoreless 80-minute battle.

Coquitlam’s Soo-Bin Kim won the season-opening Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational golf tournament for the second time in her collegiate career.

On University of Washington home turf, Kim proved extremely steady over the two-day, fogshortened tourney. The senior student posted an untouchable eight-under 136 to cruise to the win.

The Huskies golfer was the only player to complete the two-day Pac-12 tourney under par and the only player to score under 70 on any round — doing it both days (69 and 67).

Her second round, where she improved on the first day’s 69 by two shots, saw Kim tally five birdies and no bogeys.

“I watched pretty much all of her back nine,” said Washington head coach Mary Lou Mulflur.

“She easily could have made two or three more birdies. She was just striping it, hitting it within 10 feet probably six times.”

It was her fourth collegiate win, which equals the Huskies’ all-time record. Kim also advanced to the final stage of LPGA Q-School in December.

A two-time member of the WGCA All-American second team, Kim is ranked third among Canadian women amateur golfers, and 39th in the world.

“I’d put Soo-Bin in the topthree of all-time players at Washington,” added Mulflur.

“By the end of the season, she might be in the top-one.”

Finishing in second place, nine strokes back, were fellow UW golfers Eimi Koga and Jennifer Yang. Yang, also from Coquitlam, ended up one-over for the tournament with rounds of 71 and 74.

Yang climbed to sixth place in the Canadian top-10.

Oregon State’s Anica Yoo, of Port Coquitlam, placed tied for 40th after rounds of 73 and 83.

THUNDER LAND IN COQUITLAM MCMILLAN A ROYAL SPARKPLUG

The B.C. Thunder — the province’s top players who are competing in the National Ringette League — will take over the Poirier ice Saturday for a game against Calgary.

The league game, which begins at 7 p.m., brings the sport’s premier circuit to the Tri-Cities, with the Coquitlam-Port Moody Ringette Association playing host.

“The Thunder athletes are great role models for our players: they are playing at an elite level, hold down full-time jobs or school and still find time to give back to local associations,” noted CMRA director of coaching Amy Byrne. “We are encouraging all past and present members of CMRA and [the public] to come out and enjoy ringette at its highest level and for a night of fun.”

The Thunder will be taking its home games to various B.C. rinks in support of building strong minor associations.

Tickets for the game, at $8 per adult, $4 for children — who get in free if wearing a ringette jersey — are available at the door. The social event starts at 6 p.m. and is sponsored

by Coquitlam Chrysler.

In a huge two-game set against a long-time rival, Douglas College’s Marni McMillan came up big last week.

The Port Moody native scored once and set up another and generally was a force on the turf, as the Royals battled the Langara Falcons to a 1-1 draw before handing them a 3-0 loss in Pac-West collegiate women’s soccer action.

Her contributions earned McMillan the Pac-West women’s athlete of the week award.

A third-year psychology student, McMillan has been a major contributor in the squad’s 8-1-4 run, good for second place in the Pac-West circuit. She tallied the team’s lone goal in the tie, and assisted on the decisive goal in the victory.

After 13 games, the Heritage Woods alumna stands tied for third in league scoring with four goals, while teammate and fellow Port Moody native Danae Harding is tied for the lead with seven markers.

Douglas has two games left in the regular season — away Saturday at Squamish against Quest University, and Sunday when they host Capilano University, 1 p.m. in Coquitlam.

Raiders run aground The Coquitlam junior bantam Raiders gave undefeated North Delta all it could handle, before falling 22-12 in minor football action.

Down 14-0 after one quarter, Coquitlam got on the scoreboardwhenJadenSevery gathered up a long kick and zigged and zagged his way to a 75 yards touchdown.

Not long after, quarterback Keiran Little handed the ball to Cole Kashino, who thanks

to a huge block by Layth Begg, scampered 55 yards for the major.

Severy later lead a great defensive stand, but North Delta wrapped it up by faking a field goal attempt and putting it in the end zone.

BANTAM Offence ruled the day in the bantam battle between the Coquitlam Chargers and North Langley Bears.

The Chargers scored first, but witnessed a marauding Bears lineup storm back and take a 43-13 decision.

Long carries by Dade Motz and Martin Norman put the ball in good field position, where quarterback Graeme Melnyk hit receiver Adam Tennant as part of the opening march.

Norman scooted down field 65 yards for the other Coquitlam major.

Then they found the back of the net twice en route to the title.

“It’s something I’ve noticed, [that] in crucial games we have a tendency to start not very well,” said Krivak. “Sometimes they play as though [they’re] a little afraid of the ball.

But we were a completely different team in the second half and [extra time].”

Toronto was the only team to score against the Coquitlam defence, and that goal came after the club received its only yellow card on a controversial call.

After that goal, the Spartans confidently held sway until the final whistle, when the celebration began.

“They’re young — there was chanting and singing and a lot of happy faces,” said the coach. “Our defence was strong and the whole team worked extremely well together.”

Coquitlam Metro-Ford’s lineup at the tournament included: goalkeepers Austin Cho

and Jared Horvath, players Frederik Boserup, Austin Cho, Cooper Courvoisier, Quinn Dawson, Bronson Hartley, Devon Jones, Stefan Kamner, Matthew Le, Jacob Low, Lucas McIlveen, Matthew McIlwrick, Shaun Mertens, Jayson Millin, Matteo Polisi, Nate Trampleasure and Janko Vong, coaches Les Krivak, Rob Mazzarolo and Justin Mazzei, and manager Rick Horvath.

Test drive for Fox The Terry Fox Ravens football program is inviting alumni and supporters to take part in a free event Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the school (1260 Riverwood Gate, Port Coquitlam). Sponsored by Ford Canada and Metro Motors, participants can take a short test drive in the newest model Fords, and by filling out a survey the program will receive funds to help in its drive for a provincial championship.
