jkurucz@thenownews.com Despite his lack of political experience, Steve Kim claims his meal ticket lies in the people he’s known and the people he’s met.

That lack of political know-how didn’t seem to sway the voters in Coquitlam-Maillardville Tuesday, as the B.C. Liberal candidate held a slight but distinct advantage over NDPer Selina Robinson.

As of 9:50 p.m., Kim was about 200 votes ahead of Robinson, a two-time Coquitlam city

councillor who seemingly had name recognition on her side throughout the campaign.

The numbers kept jumping between the two candidates throughout the evening, though the NOW’s final tally before press deadline saw Kim with 4,512 votes, or 46.36 per cent of the vote.

Robinson, on the other hand, sat with 4,308 votes, or 44.26 per cent.

“I’m doing my best to keep calm and maintain an even keel,” Kim said in an interview from his campaign office late Tuesday night. “I always thought [victory] was possible.

Liberal Doug Horne wins 2nd term NDP CHALLENGER CHRIS WILSON SAYS PUBLIC BELIEVED TOO MUCH OF LIBERAL ‘STORY’

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com In what began as a big question mark among pundits, the answer proved to be a rather easy win for the Coquitlam-Burke Mountain incumbent.

Liberal Doug Horne had a very solid 1,000vote lead over his main rival, NDP candidate Chris Wilson, by 10 p.m.

And as the now-twice-elected MLA walked into his election night party at the Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club, cheers greeted him.

The packed house included Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart and Conservative MP James Moore, as the crowd pumped up the noise in the large room.

Horne chalked up his party’s stunning come-from-behind win to what he said he heard while knocking on doors during the campaign, that people were scared of an NDP government.

He said the results also showed what the public thinks of how the B.C. Liberals have handled the economy.

“B.C. said we got the big things right,” Horne said.

He also credited his own win on election night to working hard and reaching out to voters, adding as an incumbent he had more to lose in his second election.

As of 10:20 p.m., the Coquitlam city councillor was leading incumbent NDP MLA Joe Trasolini by nearly 600 votes, with just 10 ballot boxes remaining.

Reimer spent the hours on election day phoning potential Liberal voters, to find out if they had cast their ballots.

“We tried our best,” Reimer

said, crediting her campaign team that’s been hard at work since Christmastime.

While the mood of NDP candidates and supporters was mired in a rough political upset, NDP incumbent Trasolini had begun the evening planning to party, win or lose.

The night will include a band and meal for Trasolini and his supporters.

Discussing the campaign, Trasolini said he was able to bring the party’s message of positive change.

He said he tried to stand on his record as Port MoodyCoquitlam MLA in the community and his ability to work with other groups and governments to get things done.

“I think we did a great job,” Wilson said.

He also remarked on how difficult a challenge it is to take out an incumbent, adding that his rival was both well established and well funded.

As for his future, Wilson said he would consider running in another election. twitter.com/jertricitiesnow

Early win in PoCo FARNWORTH HANGS ONTO NDP SEAT

John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com Mike Farnworth’s political career officially entered its third decade on Tuesday night.

Farnworth captured his fifth provincial election win, passing the 50 per cent threshold well before half the ballots had been counted.

By 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, Farnworth sat with 5,490 votes or 51.33 per cent of the vote.

His next closest challenger, Liberal Barbara Lu, had tallied 3,730 votes, or 39.25 per

NDPer Mike Farnworth cent. Tuesday’s win represents the eighth time Farnworth has gained the trust of the electorate, as he began his three terms as a PoCo city councillor in 1983.

Though he didn’t return calls as the polls closed, he did speak to the Tri-Cities NOW earlier in the day.

“I feel good about things, I feel calm,” he said. “I think we ran a good campaign and did our best and I think that’s the best way to feel about everything you do. Now it’s up to the voters and we’ll wait to see what happens.”

Earlierintheday,Farnworth had suggested that he would keep a low profile throughout the course of the day.

Outside of voting and taking his dog for a couple of walks, he stayed close to the side of his campaign manager, Port Coquitlam Coun.

Brad West.

“I did what I was told by my campaign manager and followed instructions,” he said.

“My roots are here. Everywhere I went, I ran into someone I knew, someone I went to school with, or someone my kids know.”

Instead of basking in the numbers, Kim kept himself away from the hoopla.

“I’ve been given advice to sit in a room by myself and listen to Led Zeppelin or some Pink Floyd,” said Kim, a 40-year-old small busi-

ness owner and co-founder of the C3 Society, which promotes Korean culture and heritage.

While acknowledging the stress of the situation, Robinson maintained an optimistic approach.

“This happens all the time in CoquitlamMaillardville — it’s a nail biter.

“I was warned and I was told that I have more friends than anybody and that I’m a shoe-in but it’s like ‘No, I’m not a shoe-in. This

is always, always, always a tight race.”

A 49-year-old family therapist by trade, Robinson was first elected to Coquitlam council in 2008, and accumulated the most votes among councillors in 2011.

Her celebration event at the Poirier Community Centre featured fellow Coquitlam Coun. Neal Nicholson, Coquitlam-New Westminster MP Fin Donnelly, and former council candidate Jack Trumley.

Despite the numbers not being on her side late Tuesday, Robinson was banking on “strong” advance polling numbers to see her through.

“I’m not sitting in front of the numbers,” she said.

“I’m sitting off by myself in a quiet room.

The only numbers that matter are at the very end when everything’s counted.” twitter.com/johnkurucz

Body discovered at Colony Farm park Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com Investigators working the first homicide case in Coquitlam this year have identified the victim.

On Tuesday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team identified the body found in Colony Park as that of Clifford Arthur Devitt, 44, of Maple Ridge .

His body was discovered around 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Investigators said Devitt was a transient who frequented the areas of Maple Ridge, PoCo and Coquitlam.

IHIT also noted a bicycle believed to belong to the victim was found near his body.

The press release did not mention any possible suspects or a motive for the murder.

On Monday, members of the RCMP’s Lower Mainland Integrated Tactical Troop team were searching the area for evidence.

Kwikwetlem First Nation Chief Ron Giesbrecht said he was out along the trail after 10 p.m. Sunday when he spoke to investigators.

He described the area, which is about a five-minute walk north of the entrance to the park, as being the sheep paddock trail, which was closed four years ago

JEREMY DEUTSCH/NOW

due to dike erosion. However, Giesbrecht noted the trail is a popular place for members of the reserve to walk their dogs, and is very accessible to the general public.

He said the incident has him concerned the park could become a dumping ground for bodies, noting a similar situation in Surrey this year where a stretch of road has been the scene of four body discoveries.

“I’m hoping this is not related,” Giesbrecht told the Tri-Cities NOW. “The fact is, it is secluded, it is dark.”

He also pointed out the trail is far from city lights and offers three access points to

that section of Colony Farm.

In a bizarre twist, Giesbrecht pointed out it was 17 years ago to the weekend that the body of his cousin was found in the same area.

The death was ruled an accident at the time.

Despite the recent incident, Giesbrecht said the park is generally safe.

“It is pretty safe. Then again, is this a new area where [bodies] will be found?” he asked.

IHIT is asking anyone who was in the area Sunday and may have witnessed anything suspicious to contact the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448).

Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said it’s not unusual for a body to make its way that far down the river, adding it’s only a matter of time once the body absorbs enough water for it to begin floating.

However, he said the discovery should bring a measure of closure to the man’s family.

“Now they know they can give him a proper burial,” Chung said.

“When someone’s dead and the body’s not found, there’s no closure.”

He also noted it took a few extra days to identify the man because of how long the body had been in the water.

The case has been turned over to the BC Coroners Service, which will determine the exact cause of death.

Now it was an honest mistake but it was still a mistake. My feeling is that when you make a mistake, you should correct it.”

The corrected tax notices will be mailed out starting on May 21.

Leaders don’t control it all

P

redictions can be dangerous, but there’s one we’re pretty confident making: whichever party won Tuesday’s election — a couple of hours after this page went to press — they’ll be blamed for something they have little control over, a downturn in the economy.

As Jock Finlayson, executive vice-president of the Business Council of B.C., told the Globe and Mail in a story published yesterday: “Whoever is going to win power in the election is going to come into office presiding over an economy that is growing at a very sluggish pace, with a lot of uncertainties and risks out there.”

Those risks include a slowing Chinese economy, slumping commodity prices and concerns over whether the recovery in U.S. housing starts will last.

B.C.’s economy is powered by the sale of commodities like energy and minerals, but economists say we’re at the beginning of a long, downward trend in prices, and are nearing the end of a “super-cycle” that began in 1998.

China’s growth rate is now faltering after a strong three decades, which affects our province more than any other in the country.

And it’s hard to predict what will happen with U.S. housing starts, as many Americans who lost everything when the housing bubble burst in that country have sworn off real estate and prefer to rent.

Back here at home, the B.C. real estate market, which has pumped up our economy during a 10-year bull run, is also likely to return to more modest increases, or to price decreases, depending on your point of view.

What does all of this mean?

That whoever controls the legislature for the next four years will take a lot of heat over the state of B.C.’s economy. If, as expected, the NDP won, they’ll be an easy target, since the Liberals’ entire election campaign centred around how “risky” it would be to have them in power.

If the Liberals managed to hang on to power, Christy Clark will be declared too soft to manage the economy.

But it’s not that simple. Barack Obama was blamed for the U.S. housing bust and the financial turmoil and high unemployment in that country during 2008 and later years, but all of those trends were in motion before he took office. Now into his second term, he’s presiding over a boost in U.S. housing prices and a turnaround in the unemployment situation. While he may claim those situations as victories, he’s not responsible for them, either.

In our interconnected world, leaders can only do so much to help any economy. Larger forces control the rest.

TRUSTEES SHOULD RESIGN OVER DISTRICT DEFICIT

Re: “School district OKs forensic budget audit,” Friday, May 10.

School District 43 trustees’ decision to conduct a forensic audit can be seen as nothing more than an expensive smokescreen to divert attention from the real question: Where were the trustees while School District 43’s outrageous deficit was mounting?

A deficit of this magnitude does not arise in one day — it grows day-by-day, week-by-week and month-by-month over a period of many months. Clearly, the trustees did not ask the right questions while this was happening.

The trustees should do the right thing and resign.

At the same time, the forensic audit should be replaced by an investigation by the Attorney General’s office into the trustees’ apparent negligence, and the Ministry of Education should appoint a financially literate caretaker board of trustees.

A pivotal election for B.C.

I

t’s always challenging filing a column on the eve of an election, since by the time most people read it they have either already voted or know the election’s outcome.

So predictions can be a precarious proposition. However, I will offer one prediction: this election will go down as one or the most pivotal ones in B.C. history.

One of two scenarios will occur: either the B.C. Liberals will mount one of the most stunning political comebacks in Canadian history, or the NDP will pull off something it doesn’t do very often in this province — actually win an election. Throw in the very real prospect that a third party (the Greens) and more than one independent could be elected and the stage is set for an historically important vote.

Both of the major parties are at a crossroads.

The NDP, according to reputable pollsters such as Ipsos Reid and Angus Reid, had a strong lead in public support heading into the campaign’s final days.

The prospect of an election win looks to be the best in more than 20 years, and if the party drops the ball on the goal line and loses, the ramifications could be huge.

If the NDP can’t win under the current circumstances — facing an unpopular leader of an unpopular government, and leading in the polls for so long — the question of whether the party can ever win will come up, and I’m not sure what the answer will be for many people.

The B.C. Liberals face possible extinction if they can’t pull off a miracle win, or at the very least win enough seats to form a credible Opposition. We’ve seen the so-called “free enterprise coalition” fall apart and disappear before (see:

VIEW FROM THE LEDGE Keith Baldrey

Social Credit party).

This brings us to the two leaders. If the NDP loses, Dix will undoubtedly face many critics within his own ranks.

The NDP is very good at taking down its leaders at the slightest sign of weakness (see: Mike Harcourt, Glen Clark and Carole James) and Dix may well face a revolt of some kind.

However, it may be Christy Clark who faces the sharpest knives. If she wins, then those knives will of course be sheathed, at least for a while.

But if she loses, the focus will be on how many seats she delivered and whether they are enough to save her leadership. Will 25 seats be enough? Or 30? Or 35? I suspect if the party slips below 25 seats the sands start shifting under her feet.

This election will also be studied by political scientists for other reasons, notably the contrasting styles the two parties took through the campaign.

The B.C. Liberals ran an angry, relentlessly negative campaign that routinely issued false and misleading statements about all kinds of things. Clark was called on this by the media — national columnists such as Gary Mason from the Globe and Mail and Brian Hutchinson from the National Post wrote scathing columns, and Global BC and other news outlets conducted “reality checks” that questioned the B.C. Liberal claims.

Yet, for all the criticism, the B.C.

Liberals actually went up in public support (according to the polls) using this approach. If they ultimately win the election, will the analysis be that an angry and inaccurate campaign (filled with relentless personal attacks on the other party’s leader and various candidates) wins these things and therefore should be the model for subsequent contests?

Of course, an NDP victory may offer another source of analysis for political scientists. The NDP ran a mostly positive campaign that stressed its platform, and only at the end did the party switch gears and hurl grenades at the B.C. Liberal track record. At no time, however, did the party engage in the kind of personal attacks that were routinely part of the other camp’s strategy.

But the NDP lost ground during the campaign, according to those polls. A once insurmountable lead shrunk to single digits. Does that suggest people aren’t inspired by the positive approach, and are lured by the negative?

We should know the answers to these questions by about 9 p.m. on election night. Whatever the outcome, it’s bound to have an impact far greater and farther reaching than the last two elections, and many more before them.

LETTERS CIGARETTE BUTTS SHOULD INCLUDE A DEPOSIT FEE

I would like to propose the idea of a returnable cigarette butt deposit fee for British Columbia.

Cigarette butts are by far and away the leading item of litter in B.C., similar to the situation worldwide.

They are especially problematic in dense urban areas, and on coastlines, both of which describe our province.

The situation is so bad that if you glance down at your feet while walking on any city sidewalk, on exiting any building or while seated at any public bench, or scoop a handful of sand on any non-remote beach, you are almost guaranteed to find at least one.

In addition to being unsightly, cigarette butts have several other malevolent characteristics.

They are non-biodegradable, and leach toxic organic chemicals and heavy metals into the environment impacting soil, fresh- and salt-water.

Additionally they are often directly ingested by various aquatic and land-based organisms, and at times even by our children.

spread effect.

If, additionally, the program were structured to provide a smaller reimbursement (say one cent) for already littered butts it would mobilize bottle-collecting members of the public and essentially lead to the near-disappearance of all butt litter overnight.

Visible tobacco litter begets more litter of all sorts, not to mention disrespect for the law, and serves as free, albeit perverse, advertising (maybe just the sort that appeals to rebellious teenagers?) for the tobacco industry, and as omnipresent triggers to the smoker wanting to quit or at least cut down.

Therefore, a cigarette butt deposit program may even end up having unintended external benefits.

British Columbia’s beverage container recovery system, enacted in 1970, is the oldest legislated deposit-return system in North America, and has been highly successful and widely copied.

It is time for British Columbia to once again take the environmental lead with an innovative approach to fighting cigarette litter.

While differences do exist, the bottle-deposit program can serve as a model for a cigarette butt

Furthermore, discarded cigarette butts are also a major cause of highly destructive and even deadly fires in forests and elsewhere.

Lastly, cleaning up butt waste is expensive, costing cities and taxpayers.

Of course the above list doesn’t even mention that they are derived from a product that not only provides no real benefits whatsoever, but is actually the leading cause of preventable death in Canada and worldwide, killing more than drugs, alcohol, car accidents, murder, suicide and AIDS combined!

Littering cigarette butts (and empty packs) is already technically illegal here in British Columbia and just about everywhere else in the world, making awareness campaigns and increased enforcement possibilities.

However, given that over onethird of the billions of cigarettes smoked daily are currently littered, despite the near-universal recognition of such as being “the wrong thing to do,” the above options will certainly have only transient and marginal effects.

On the other hand, charging a returnable deposit fee (for instance five cents per butt equals $1 per pack returned full) will have an immediate and wide-

program.

New York City is considering a butt deposit bill, and work towards finding recycling methods for cigarette butts is underway by companies such as TerraCycle.

Yet even in the absence of recycling, it is clearly better to have control over the collection and disposal of tobacco trash.

Additionally, consideration of applying the principle of extended producer responsibility could also be given — it is applied to beverage producers; why should the tobacco industry, towards which our official governmental policy is one of “denormalization,” be exempt?

I am certain that if B.C. were to design a deposit program for cigarette butts it would end up being both highly successful and ultimately widely copied.

Cigarette butt litter represents an environmental blight that has gone unchecked for far too long — let’s make British Columbia the leader in fighting back!

A staff report notes the proposed legislation would “not be supported by the legal framework in Canada” and that any such bylaw would infringe upon the Criminal Code of Canada and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

“The option of an antibullying bylaw was worthy of serious investigation and consideration, but in the end it is not supported by the legal framework in Canada,” the report notes.

City staff and councillors arrived at Monday’s decision after seeking advice from legal counsel and the RCMP, as well as reviewing similar practices in other parts of the country.

“It has become clear that from the law enforcement perspective, the provisions in the Criminal Code of Canada regarding harassment are the proper means of addressing serious bullying behaviour,” the report states.

Instead of enacting the bylaw, the city will support, or in some cases enact, a series of anti-bullying initiatives, including youth programs that foster dialogue and caring; a zero- tolerance policy for bullying behaviours in city facilities and in city programs, and support for RCMP-led youth initiatives that deal with bullying behaviours.

Many people fall prey to a suspicious offering simply because their social networking friends “like” it, according to the Better Business Bureau serving Mainland B.C. The consumer rights group issued a warning stating that some disreputable companies are trying to gain people’s trust through “like farming,” which involves artificially building a company’s reputation by offering incentives to “like” its Facebook page.

In one example, a B.C.based business, Today’s Draw Enterprises Inc., offers online subscribers free access to random daily prize draws through its website, www. todaysdraw.com. The website lists dozens of testimonials from subscribers who claim to have won daily prizes, which vary from $100 to $10,000.

To gain more entries, consumers are encouraged to share the website with their friends through “liking” the page. But in complaints filed with the BBB, there were delays in delivery of 18 to 20 weeks after winning the draw.

In several cases, requests for prize payments remain unanswered by the company.

A Port Coquitlam teen missing for three weeks will likely have a story to tell following his return home.

On Tuesday, Coquitlam Mounties issued a press release noting 16-year-old Dominique Delagiraudais had returned home safe and sound. RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said there weren’t many details to share, but presumed the teen had come back home on his own and is OK. As part of the RCMP’s missing person protocol, he said investigators were expected to interview Dominique about his disappearance.

Chung said the boy’s return home was a good news story.

His return followed an appeal just a day before by police and his mom for the public’s help in locating the 16-year-old, suggesting the teen could be in the wilderness in the Fraser Valley, Okanagan or as far away as Alberta.

Speaking to the media, his mother Marie noted her son was a big fan of the show Survivor Man and would use his money to stockpile outdoor survivalist gear in the last few years.

She also indicated her son had run away once before in February for three days to camp at Stave Lake near Mission.

Dominique disappeared April 21 after having an argu-

Volunteer helps others see life clearly HENRY SICKING COLLECTED 1,600 PAIRS OF GLASSES IN TWO AND A HALF MONTHS

Sam SMITH editorial@thenownews.com Tri-Cities residents are caring and generous.

This is what Henry Sicking has learned time and again over the last 15 years of volunteering with the Third World Eye Care Society, organizing its used glasses drive in the Tri-Cities to help those in developing countries.

“In February this year, we already [had] 1,600 eyeglasses from our Tri-City area,” he told The Tri-Cities NOW.

“I was so amazed.”

The 1,600 pairs of glasses were collected in a two-anda-half month span beginning in October.

By December, the boxes were full, and volunteers finished counting them in February.

Working with more than a dozen businesses and optometrists, Sicking distributed and collected drop boxes for folks to get rid of old pairs of eyeglasses so they can be cleaned, fixed and given to people in developing coun-

tries who otherwise wouldn’t be able to own a pair. To him, giving the gift of sight is more rewarding than any pay he could get.

Sicking recalls a trip he took with the Third World Eye Care Society to Nicaragua, to see the glasses distributed first-hand..

“In Nicaragua, all these women, they never saw flowers — so they could, with the new glasses, they could see,” he said.

Living in a well-off country like Canada, he feels responsible for helping those who aren’t as fortunate.

“We are so rich here — we have water, we have everything, we have all of that,” he said. “They have nothing, you know?”

This year, along with the usual optometrist drop boxes, Sicking started working with the Dogwood Pavilion and two local churches to collect more glasses.

On top of that, he received a package from Simon Fraser University filled with glasses from students there.

Roughly 12,000 pairs of glasses are sent out every three months to developing countries from the Lower Mainland through the Third

That’s a far cry from when Sicking first started collecting 15 years ago.

THE TRI-CITIES NOW | WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 2013

Keeping kids active once the school year ends camp I n many ways, today’s kids have busier schedules than any previous generation of youngsters.

Many extracurricular activities, including sports, require a nearly year-round commitment, and the dual-income household has landed many kids in afterschool programs where kids tend to their schoolwork or engage in various activities that keep them from resting on their laurels.

But those busy schedules get a lot less hectic when the school year ends. Once school is out, kids used to a full schedule might !nd themselves with lots of time on their hands. Though it’s good for kids to squeeze in some rest and relaxation during their summer break, it’s also important for kids to stay active so they don’t develop poor habits as the summer goes on. In addition, the American Psychological Association notes that kids who are physically active are

more capable of coping with stress and tend to have higher self-esteem than kids who do not include physical activity as part of their regular routines.

The following are a few suggestions for parents looking for ways to keep their kids active throughout the summer while still allowing them to recharge their batteries after a long school year. ☛ Plan an active vacation.

Summer is when many families go on vacation, so why not choose a vacation that involves more than napping poolside?

Though it’s still good to leave some time for relaxation, !nd a locale where you can embrace activities like snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, or other adventures that get you and your youngsters off the poolside chaise and out exploring. Such a trip might inspire kids to embrace an activity more fully,

getting them off the couch not only while they’re on vacation but also when they return home for the rest of summer.

☛ Teach kids to garden.

Gardening might be seen as a peaceful and relaxing hobby, but it still requires a lot of elbow grease and hard work that pays physical dividends. A garden must be planted, hoed, weeded, and watered, and gardening gets kids out of the house to enjoy the great outdoors.

When growing a vegetable garden, kids might embrace the chance to be directly involved in the foods that will eventually end up on their dinner tables.

Parents can embrace this as an opportunity to teach the value of eating locally produced foods and the positive impact such behaviour has on the environment.

Safety urged around windows With the weather heating up, the BC Ambulance Service and BC Children’s Hospital are asking parents and other caregivers of young kids to reduce the risk of their charges falling out of windows.

In a press release, the groups state that caregivers should make sure proper safety latches are installed on windows and that climbing hazards are removed from areas near windows and balconies.

Parents and caregivers are also cautioned that window screens do not offer adequate protection. These screens are not strong enough to withstand the weight of a child pushing against them and should never be relied on as a safety measure.

“Calls involving children

are often the most difficult incidents that paramedics respond to,” said BC Ambulance Service paramedic Michael Binns. “Paramedics see first-hand the critical injuries that result from falls — head and facial injuries, broken bones and other often severe conditions. The most tragic part is that often, falls from windows and balconies can be prevented.”

“Young children are curious by nature and can climb easily — they don’t understand the consequences of their actions,” said Dr. Ash Singhal, pediatric neurosurgeon and medical director of the BC Children’s Hospital Trauma Program. “Children between one and six years of age are particularly vulnerable to falls. Many of the injuries can be quite severe,

requiring surgery and causing potentially long-term effects for the child.

BC Children’s Hospital reports that at least 10 children were taken to hospital as a result of falling out of windows last year, and there have been at least two injured already this spring.

Safety tips to prevent falls from windows and balconies include: • Talk to children about window and balcony safety.

• Window screens are not strong enough to hold the weight of a child — they keep bugs out, not children in.

• Move furniture and planters away from windows and balcony edges to discourage children from climbing, especially cribs and beds.

• Install and maintain window safety devices — ensure

there is a safe release option in case of a house fire.

• Keep windows open 10 centimetres or less — children can fit through a space as small as 12 centimetres.

• Don’t leave children unattended on balconies or in higher floor rooms with open windows. follow us on

Product Hailed by Doctors as the Solution for Back Pain

Doctor developed decompression belt has been called the solution for back pain. Dr. Michael Ho announced he is giving 50% off for one week only. Due to the Spring rush, each household is limited to only 2 belts.

By Marc Charron Health and Lifestyle

Back pain affects 8 out of 10 people. It can also rob you of your happiness, where getting out of bed becomes a painful reminder of your bad back. While pills provide temporary relief, the condition can reoccur, because pills mask the symptoms and do not target the cause of the pain.

Other treatments cost thousands of dollars or have substantial health risks. “That’s why most people end up “living” with their bad back,” says Dr. Michael Ho. Dr. Michael Ho is a doctor with over 20 years of clinical experience specializing in treating the cause of chronic back pain, including Degenerative Disc Disease, Sciatic Nerve Pain, Scoliosis, Spinal Stenosis and Herniated / Bulging discs. His belief is to treat the cause of the problem so that patients get long term relief, earning him international recognition for his patient care and expertise. "o Belt

With Belt

Dr. Ho has developed a back supporting decompression belt that can be used at home, allowing you to help relieve your back pain, while saving time and money.

Dr. Ho’s brand new Decompression Belt is endorsed by medical professionals and customers that have suffered with long-term, chronic back pain.

"I have used many modalities to treat my patients, but nothing is as effective as the decompression belt. To effectively treat someone with back pain, the patient must receive treatment everyday for 6 - 8 weeks. People cannot afford the time or money to visit the doctor everyday. I developed this belt because patients need a device they can use at home,” says Dr. Ho. Dr. Ho’s Decompression Belt expands to help decompress the spine to provide support and help relieve the pain.

The belt will help relieve your pain in as little as 20 minutes, even if you’ve suffered with back pain for many years. And you can even wear the belt while doing activities.

A taste of the Best of BC Wines Uncorked

T

he Best of BC Wines Uncorked tasting arrives at Port Moody City Hall Galleria on Saturday, May 25. A cross section of the best B.C. has to offer is highlighted, with over 35 wineries pouring at this year’s event.

I recently had the chance to preview some of the wines being poured and look forward to sampling more at the Galleria. There is a style to fit everyone’s palate, so come out and support the Port Moody Arts Centre at this outstanding tasting event that you usually don’t see outside of Downtown Vancouver.

Here’s a sample of what you’ll find: See Ya Later, Unleashed Gewürtztraminer 2011 Fresh spiced apple, apricot, lychee and ginger essence.

This is an attractive, drier style Gewürztraminer with a surprisingly attractive creamy mouth-feel. Refreshing orchard fruit flavours and a bright backbone of acidity indicate a balanced wine. 86 points.

Aces Okanagan, Pocket Kings, 2009 A Cabernet Franc driven blend with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot supporting the lead grape, with scents of black cherry, raspberry and cedar wood with a pleasing hint of dried herbs and earthiness. Tannins dominate the attack but there is some dense fruit onto the mid palate. A medium length aftertaste and baking spices are evident on finish. I would age this wine for two more years to reach its peak. 88 points.

Backyard Vineyards, Nosey Neighbour Red, 2011 This Langley-based winery has crafted two entry-level blended wines to much suc-

cess. The Red is a mixture of Zweigelt, Merlot and Syrah. It’s an ideal quaffing wine with soft cherry and raspberry fruit with slight woodsy tones. “Smooth” and “easy drinking” would be two good descriptors of this wine.

Well made for the price, it is an ideal partner for burgers and smokies on the grill this summer. 85 points.

Law, 2009 Murphy’s Law is a delicious blend of Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Franc with peppery spice and a bold blue and blackberry concentration.

Well balanced with an undertone of red currants, this red would match well with any grilled beef or lamb dishes.

89 points.

Lake Breeze Vineyards, Windfall, 2012 A mix of five different varietals, this is a complex white with a spectrum of citrus, apple and tropical fruit flavours. It’s ideal for pan-fried white fish or a creamed pasta dish. It’s also dry and crisp with a full and pleasing fin-

appetizers would do the trick. 87 points.

ish. 88 points.

Lake Breeze Vineyards, Seven Poplars Pinot Noir, 2010 One of the best B.C. pinots out there, it develops a classic red and black cherry nose with a dollop of earthiness and cinnamon spice. Smooth, silky tannins and a velvety texture, this red is sure to please. 90 points.

Noble Ridge Vineyard and Winery, Meritage, 2010 A no-nonsense blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that reveals cassis, spice, vanilla and dark chocolate and cocoa. Aged in American and French oak, it has a well-balanced mouthfeel and long finish. A solid and smooth offering from Noble Ridge. 89 points.

Mission Hill Vineyards, Five Vineyards Rose A perfect patio pleaser, this blush style wine displays red berry, vanilla and strawberry with an ideal blend of sweetness and crisp citrus notes.

Off dry, you don’t need food to enjoy this wine but light

Lake Breeze Vineyards, Pinot Blanc, 2012 Old vines and craftsmanship equal one outstanding Blanc. Peach, pear and cit-

Upper Bench Estate Winery, Chardonnay, 2011 A good old-fashioned Chardonnay that’s very well crafted; in fact, it’s one of the best Chards I have sampled from the Okanagan. It’s golden coloured with toasty vanilla, toffee, almond and tropical fruits on the nose.

The flavours include citrus, melon and pineapple wrapped around a creamy, buttery core, framed by just the right amount of acidity. Intense concentration concludes in a super long, elegant finish. If you enjoy a well-balanced oaky style of Chardonnay, this could be your heaven in a glass. 90 points.

Bella Wines, Sparkling Gamay Noir, 2012 Sleek and sexy packaging for this sparkling summer wine, with light red berry, strawberry and currant notes, dry on the palate with a lingering fine finish. A hint of lemon and grapefruit citrus adds to this refreshing hot-weather sipper. Only 130 cases were made and this wine sold out quickly last year, so stock up. 88 points.

Vista D’oro, Murphy’s

Library wants leftover Lego The Coquitlam Public Library’s children’s department is looking for Lego pieces of all shapes and sizes for its Lego Club.

Lego donations are gratefully accepted at both Coquitlam Public Library locations, according to a press release, and can be dropped off at either branch’s front desk.

Library staff say they have Lego at the library because building with it requires organization, planning, concentration and patience. Lego play encourages children to use critical thinking and creativity, and it improves fine motor skills. Creative play helps children become better readers and they build valuable literacy skills as they build towers, trucks, dragons, pirate ships, castles and more.

For more information, visit the library’s website at www. library.coquitlam.bc.ca.

The library’s two branches are located at 1169 Pinetree Way (City Centre) and 575 Poirier St. (Poirier).

Many program graduates have gone on to do great things.

Magdalena Angel, a 2009 alumni, developed a composting project for Quest University in Squamish. Upon returning to school after the trip, she was elected Minister of Environmental Affairs on Student Council and had a composting unit built and installed in the university’s Atrium Café.

Taking part in the program inspired Angel to organize the Great Bear Rainforest Youth Paddle, a cross-cultural canoe journey with a crew of young leaders who paddled a portion of the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline super tanker route. The group canoed 110 kilometres in June 2012, from Hartley Bay to Kiel, circumnavigated Gil Island, then returned to Hartley Bay. A documentary about the paddle is expected to be complete this summer.

Visit www.gbryouthpaddle. org for details.

Leif Douglass, a 2011 alumni and Thompson Rivers University (TRU) student in Kamloops, focused his sustainability project on banning the sale of disposable

Fraser River’s headwaters near Valemount, B.C., to where it meets the shores of Vancouver, 1,400 kilometres downstream.

They will travel through “off-the-beaten-track” parts of the province, accompanied by skilled facilitators and guides who will interpret the geography, biology and history of the landscape, according to a press release from the rivershed society.

They will also learn from and be inspired by the rivershed society’s extensive network of First Nation and nonnative community leaders they will meet as they pass through their communities.

Team building, conflict resolution, communication and critical thinking are an important part of the program, which allows participants to discuss sustainability issues, build on their talents, and gain the skills and confidence they need to make a difference in their community.

While on the trip, participants will develop formal plan for their sustainability projects, which they will implement in their community after the trip.

plastic bottles on campus.

After his trip, he was elected to the Students’ Union and worked on the plastic bottle issue with the Students for Sustainability campaign, collecting 2,700 signatures in support of the ban. As a result, TRU created an official evidence-based review process, hearing presentations from Douglass and the Students’ Union, Coca-Cola, Nestle, the Bottling Association of Canada and others. The TRU Office of Environment and Sustainability is about to make a decision on the matter, and will forward its recommendation to TRU’s board of governors.

The program, now in its 10th season, is seeking applicants for the 2013 trip. The program’s host, the Rivershed Society of BC, encourages anyone with an interest in sustainability or community development to apply.

To qualify, participants must be 19 years of age or older and physically fit.

Community volunteer experience is an asset.

The application deadline is May 31. For more information or to apply, visit www. rivershed.com.

jdeutsch@thenownews.com School District 43 officials knew they would have to make cuts to deal with a ballooning deficit, and on Tuesday employees and the public learned just how deep the reductions will be once the budget is done.

To make up for a $12.1-million projected operating deficit for the 2013/2014 school year, the district is looking at cutting six per cent of its staff across the board.

More specifically, it’s proposing to cut 142 pos-

itions within the district.

A further breakdown of the numbers has the district cutting 81 teachers, 19 teacher assistants/special education assistants/youth workers along with 32 clerical/custodial/IT and facilities positions and 10 from administration.

The staffing cuts add up to $11.5 million in savings.

Some of the positions being cut will be offset by attrition, with as many as 30 staff in various positions already putting in their retirement papers for the end of the year.

SPORTS SHORTS

KEEL IN CLOSE RANGE Coquitlam’s Jisoo Keel kept up the pressure over a three-round CN Future Links Pacific Championship golf tournament in Courtenay, with only one shot separating her and champion Brooke Henderson.

Keel fired birdies on four of the final six holes to finish eight-under-par with rounds of 71, 67 and 70 (208).

Not to be outdone, Henderson carded four birdies on the final day. The Ontario native, who like Keel is a member of Canada’s national squad, won it by shooting 207 (70, 67, 70).

In junior boys’ competition, Coquitlam’s Kevin Vigna opened with a strong 70 and followed with identical 75s en route to a fourover 220, 17 strokes back of the winner.

Henry Lee, also of Coquitlam stood seven over-par at 223.

TACKLE TRYOUTS ON

A heaping list of Tri-Cities talent will be on the gridiron this weekend in Richmond, trying out for Team B.C.’s under-16 and u-18 football teams.

The list of u-16 invitees include JanSebastian Cabrera, Dillon Cusker, Bowen Goldade, Elijah John, Mario Marra, Darius MacKay, Taylor Poitras, Lucas Prinster, Matthew Shuen, Sean Stewart and Maleek Womack-Stewart. The u-18 tryout — overseen by Team B.C. head coach and Terry Fox co-coach Tom Kudaba — includes Nickolaus Agnoletto, Michael Beck, Kyle Deugau, Chase Malcolm, Kyle Miller, Shaquille Naickers, Kyle Sagmoen, Eldridge Sellers, Jordon Seney, Jason Shamatutu and Michael West.

The camp is part of the selection process for B.C. squads who will compete at the u-16 Red River Cup in July, and a u-18 team that will play in the FBU International Games next January in Texas.

MEDALS AT WESTERNS

A trio of TAG gymnasts made their mark at last week’s Western championships in Winnipeg.

Setting the tone for the Coquitlam gym club was provincial 5 tyro athlete Celine May, who secured silver on uneven bars and helped her team place second all around.

In the national novice category, Madelyn McPhee delivered a strong performance on both floor and vault to advance to the finals. There she finished fourth on vault and eighth on floor, helping B.C. collect gold.

Taylor Chan challenged in a competitive open division, narrowly qualifying for both the floor and vault finals. She scored strong bounce-back efforts in those finals, winning the floor event and placing eighth on vault.

Last year’s Cinderella story, having turned a last-place finish in 2011 into a run to the league final, the Adanacs spent the offseason addressing some depth issues.

“I think we reached out and bolstered our attack on the rightside,” remarked Coquitlam general manager Randy Delmonico. “We had a good draft and picked up some key players who we feel only make us stronger.”

The club secured shooters Jeff Zywicki and Jesse Guerin, right and left-side sticks respectively, who give the attack a boost.

Ravens topple Best in semis

LISA KING/NOW

A Heritage Woods player, left, battles her Dr. Charles Best rival during senior girls Fraser Valley action last week.

Additions give Adanacs a boost CONT’D FROM P. 26 working from the defensive side, cashed in 20 goals in 18 games.

At the draft, Delmonico grabbed junior Adanac grad Marty Dinsdale, a right stick who led all shooters in the B.C. Junior A loop with 38 goals and 95 points over 16 games.

They also selected gritty defender and Dinsdale teammate Kevin Neufeld in the second round, giving them a pair of premier talents who already had the Adanac logo tattooed on their chests.

“We don’t think [Dinsdale] will play [like] a first-year player because of his NLL experience,” remarked Delmonico.

We expect him to fall right in comfortably.”

Neufeld, who is nursing an injury but is possible for Friday’s opener, joins a backline stocked with size and shut-down skills in captain Bruce Murray, Jon Harnett, Damon Edwards, Travis Irving and Brad Richardson.

Setting the table for everyone is Nick Rose in net, who posted the league’s best goalsagainst numbers — 7.53 per game — while playing in every game but one last season.

Add the fact that an impressive part of last year’s charge was a crop of first-year contributors — 2012 No. 1 draft pick Travis Cornwall, Ryan

27

Johnson, Mark Negrin and McQuade — and it’s clear as to why despite the spate of bad news, optimism still remains the go-to position.

The rest of the league, however, has not stood still.

Making the biggest waves during the offseason was Victoria, who appeared adamant about erasing last year’s disappointing semifinal upset loss to Coquitlam.

They acquired last year’s league scoring champion Scott Ranger and former Adanac Cory Conway from Nanaimo, and signed netminder Matt Vinc from NLL champion Rochester.

The Langley Thunder, as two-time defending league champs, continue to set the bar, noted Delmonico.

“On paper I don’t know if we can compare with Victoria and Langley, but when it comes to playing as a team that’s where we have confidence,” he said.

“This year we’ve added a few out-of-towners but they are quality players and people.

And we’re only getting stronger when it comes to our TriCities base.”

As fate has it, their first two opponents are this year’s favourites — on paper.

The Adanacs play in Langley on May 22, then hold their home opener May 25 when the Maple Ridge Burrards visit the Poirier Sports Centre.

The deadline for applications is May 23 and interviews will be scheduled from May 27 - 31.

A furious start gave way to a clinicallike defensive display by the Terry Fox Ravens girls soccer team.

The Ravens handed the No. 2-seeded Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils a stifling 2-0 defeat to advance to Thursday’s Fraser Valley championship final.

Ranked sixth entering the 16-team tourney, Fox had already stocked up victories of 3-0 and 1-0 over Enver Creek and Chilliwack, respectively.

But the Blue Devils, who went unbeaten in league play and handed the Ravens their lone regular season loss, were a different kind of test.

“Best has phenomenal players, and

their strength is down the middle so we needed to take that attack away from them,” noted Fox co-coach Casey Kingman. “We frustrated them in the middle and attacked quickly, scoring both our goals in the first eight minutes of the game.”

Kelsa Lefebvre opened the scoring two minutes in with a high shot past the Best keeper. A handful of minutes later, Alexis Cattermole finished off a give-and-go with Lefebvre to double the lead.

The PoCo squad maintained its clean sheet by limiting Best’s forays and earning Suhkman Sidhu another shutout.

Setting the tone off the ball were Simran Sekhon, Sukhbir Gill, Taylor Espedido, Jessica Price, Chanel Walter, Vanessa Puleo and Joedi Shapre.

Also turning in sharp efforts were Natalie Leclerc and Paige Slight.

All four semifinalists automatically advance to the provincials, May 30 to June 1 in North Vancouver.

Now, Fox faces another underdog in the final, as No. 12 th seed South Delta visits the PoCo grass pitch tomorrow.

Best, meanwhile, has also earned a ticket to the provincials, and squares off against Fleetwood Park today for position.

Attention Lower Mainland Home Owners: 23 of you are about to make an important financial decision...

“Frustrated Contractor ‘Giving Away’ $5136 Furnaces for $1181 with purchase of Off-Season Central Air ...”**

NO MONEY DOWN, NO PAYMENTS AND INTEREST FREE TIL 2014* (This is the Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” ... especially if your furnace is over 8 years old)

Dear Friend I’m about to make you a deal that’s hard to refuse if you’ve got an “older” (and probably less than optimally efficient) furnace.

I’ll replace your old furnace AND heat pump as a “package deal” for at least $3136.00 less than you would pay any other time of the year.

Sound too good to be true?

It’s not and here’s why. I’m making you what sounds like an unbelievable offer because it actually makes good sense for my business. And you come out a winner, as well!

You see, I know from experience that in my slowest months I actually end up losing money ... then I have to spend the rest of the year trying to make up for it. Right now, I have no reason to believe 2013 will be any different.

That’s why I’ve decided to give up trying to make a profit during these months and minimize my losses ... so I can come out ahead the rest of the year.

So here’s how I can make the incredible offer at the top of this letter.

Every year the biggie furnace manufacturers guesstimate how many furnaces to produce. Since there’s no way of knowing what the weather will be like and other factors that affect sales, these guys always have leftover inventory they have to hold onto until the next heating season.

I saw a great business opportunity in this and went to one of these biggie companies (they won’t allow me to use their name in this letter) and contracted for the purchase of these furnaces that were going to just be sitting around. Plus, I bought 23 heat pumps all in the 3 most popular sizes used in Lower Mainland homes.

Because of the number I bought and the time of year I purchased them, I got an unbelievable deal ... rock-bottom prices.

Don’t get me wrong - these are brandnew, top quality, 2013 models. Not “seconds.”

Not “blems.” Not builder-grade. These are premium furnaces and heat pumps fresh from a name-brand factory with a full factory warranty.

How to Get Your Name Brand Furnace for Virtually Nothing By putting together this furnace-plusheat pump package (I call it the “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century”), going through some heavy negotiations with the

Scott Campbell

Local Business Owner

manufacturer, and then committing to buying 23 systems outright, I got BOTH the furnace AND the heat pump at a price that would have made Sam Walton proud. This means when you buy one of these 23 new, premiumquality heat pumps I will “give” you the furnace and ask you to pay only the $1181 in labor it costs to install your furnace.

Pick up your phone right now Simply call me at 946-1000 at anytime so I can come out and measure your home (to see if I’ve got the proper size unit).

Remember ... I’ve got only 23 matched systems in 3 sizes so you’ll want to let me know VERY SOON that you’re interested.

When these 23 systems are gone, they’re gone, and this offer is null and void. Call me right now so we can get the ball rolling!

As part of the deal, I’ll show you how much the heat pump costs ... how much the furnace WOULD have cost ... and your savings when you buy your new heat pump and furnace as part of this special offer. The price I show you will include all installation materials and labor. There’s no fine print, nothing left out.

Earlier I said that making you this amazing offer is also good business for me The way I look at it, by letting YOU win big now, I’ll win at the end of the year. And I won’t have to “make up” for the lost sales during my slowest months.

I figure if I make you an absolutely irresistible offer .. if your furnace is pushing 8 years or more ... and if I barely mark up the price I paid, I’ll accomplish 2 major objectives that will allow me to reduce my losses the rest of the year. I’ll be able to ...

• Pay my overhead (rent, utilities, insurance and taxes) during the slow period • Keep my service & installation technicians busy enough to pay them to work instead of sit at home.

As you can see, when you take me up on my “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century,” EVERYONE IS A WINNER! And by the way, there’s no obligation when you have me come out to measure your house and explain the installation If you decide you don’t want to take advantage of this incredible deal (although I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to save this kind of money), it’s no problem.

You’re not obligated in any way. In fact, just for taking time to read this letter and having me out to survey your house ... I’ll give you a

Very Special Free Gift Coupon ($50 value).

Why? Even if we don’t do business together now, I want you to remember us in the future.

If you’re thinking a new furnace (& heat pump) isn’t in your budget - don’t worry!

You don’t have to pay me right now Because I’ve tried to think of every reason possible why you WOULDN’T take me up on this spectacular offer, I’ve even made arrangements for a super bank rate financing plan. And I’m not “marking up” the interest rate like so many other companies do.

While I can’t promise you this, it’s possible that with this financing plan your monthly investments in a new system could be more than paid for by the savings you see on your monthly utility bills.

My Disappointment-Proof Guarantee Talking about lower utility bills, I’m so sure you’ll see at least a 25% cut in your heating and cooling bills (in reality, it may be more like 35%+), if you don’t I’ll pay you twice the difference for 2 years.

Not only are you getting a new, firstquality furnace virtually free, plus a firstquality heat pump at a great price, I guarantee you’ll lower your heating and cooling bills by at least 25% or I’ll pay you double your savings for 2 years. (This alone should convince you that these systems are some of the very best quality and most efficient available).

But you’ve got to act fast ... call me at 946-1000 right now! This offer ends May 15th no matter what Don’t wait to call me. Here’s why. I have only 8 of each of the 3 sizes. When all of the air conditioners are sold and all the furnaces “given away” in a certain size, the “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” is over.

And if I still have any of the 23 systems left on May 31st, this offer still ends. The reason is that my business only slows down for a short time. Since these furnaces cost me so little, if I’ve got any left, I’ll sell them next winter at last year’s prices and still come out ahead.

So call me right now at 946-1000 Thanking you in advance, Scott Campbell Owner P.S. Remember, there’s no obligation and even if you change your mind once I measure your house and give you the estimate - you still get that Free Gift Coupon worth $50.

604-946-1000

*W.A.C. - with approved credit. Cannot be combined with other offers. **This offer applies with purchase of heat pump heating and air conditioning system
