POCO WOMAN KEEPS THE LEGACY OF HER SISTER ALIVE

NEWS 4

jdeutsch@thenownews.com For many living in the Tri-Cities and beyond, the story of Mary Steinhauser has either been forgotten or never heard. But nearly 38 years to the day after her death during a botched hostage taking at the old B.C. Penitentiary in New Westminster, her younger sister is hoping to bring Mary’s story of compassion and social justice to a younger generation. “Her story deserves to be told,” Margaret Franz, Mary’s sister, told the Tri-Cities NOW.

“Because it was so long ago, people need to be reminded.” The Port Coquitlam resident is working on a book that will be a collection of memories of her sister as well as a fundraiser next year that will go toward an SFU bursary set up in Mary’s name. “The way she died has literally brought her name into the forefront, but that’s only one piece of her life,” Franz said. The day Mary died was June 11, 1975. Mary was one of fifteen classification officers, or parole officers as they are called now, being CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Grafﬁti targets kids’ artwork

MURAL AT HERITAGE MOUNTAIN ELEMENTARY IS HIT FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS YEAR

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com For the second time this year, vandals in Port Moody have decided to attack a work of art created by school children. Sometime over the weekend, most likely Saturday, someone or a group scrawled explicit pictures with a marker across one of 12 murals created by students at Heritage Mountain Elementary. Principal Craig Mah said a parent notiIt’s something fied him on which our school Sunday about the damage to has put a lot of the mural. pride into. He said he’s frustrated by –Craig Mah, the vandalism. Principal at “It’s someHeritage Mountain thing which our Elementary school has put a lot of pride into,” Mah said, adding the art has captured the attention of the community, noting copies of the murals have been put up at Port Moody Recreational Complex. “It’s not a nice thing when someone doesn’t value that and marks it up and does something really silly to it.” The mural project began more than a year ago, when the Grade 4 students collaborated with local artist Tammy Pilon to decorate a concrete retaining wall with the 12 distinct images. The project even garnered donations from banks and local unions. The murals were unveiled at the end of the last school year, while the images were then turned into cards and calendars. They have since been sold to raise money for a new playground at the school. The first bout of vandalism happened in February, after someone scrawled graffiti on one of the murals.

LISA KING/NOW

Soroush, 11, Daniel, 10 and Harry, 11, are upset after a vandal or vandals attacked one of a dozen murals at their school. The students helped create the outdoor pieces, which have been used in a calendar sold to raise money for a new playground. Mah explained in that case the writing was over one solid colour, which made it easier to fix. The recent damage is over images and will take more effort to clean. The vandal in the February incident was never caught. The last repair cost about $50, but Mah said

he isn’t sure how much the recent damage will cost. By Tuesday, Pilon was working on restoring the mural. Mah sent out this Tweet: “Art mural being restored. Thanks Tammy Pilon! Any info on vandals? Contact @PortMoodyPD.” The school had considered putting the

images behind plexiglass, but besides the cost, Mah suggested it could tempt the vandals to do even more graffiti. The school’s principal is appealing to neighbours or the public to call Port Moody police if they have any information on the recent vandalism, or if they see something suspicious in the future.

Pair of fighting bears killed MLA-elects Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com It was a gruesome example of wild animal behaviour for one Coquitlam resident after two bears were caught fighting in the driveway of a rural property. Police were called to a property near Minnekhada Regional Park just before 10 a.m. Monday, after getting a call from a resident that two bears were fighting. At one point, the bears apparently tried to attack the homeowner’s dog, but were unsuccessful. When Mounties and conservation officers arrived, they found blood and fur all over the scene. Officers were able to quickly track down one of the bears, which was described as having a bloody face, and kill it. Police and conservation officers managed to find a second bear at the back of the property. The bruin was also shot and killed. Cody Ambrose, a conservation officer, said there were a number of factors that led to the decision to destroy the bears. He noted the two male bears, which he estimated to be about 350 pounds each, were close to the park and traffic, injured and acting in an aggressive manner and one returned to the house while another was found at a different home. “It’s just a very unique and unfortunate incident where the

bears needed to be put down,” Ambrose told the Tri-Cities NOW. “We don’t like doing that sort of thing, but public safety is a priority.” RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said it was lucky no humans were hurt. “This is very unusual. This is the first time I’ve heard, actually, people calling about two bears fighting and blood was everywhere,” he said, adding most bears tend to just rummage through garbage. “Fighting is something very unusual.” Chung said the homeowner did the right thing by calling police. Though the most recent incident is not a case of someone leaving an attractant out like garbage, police and conservation officers suggested it does serve as a reminder to residents to make sure their trash is locked up and bear proofed. Ambrose noted the area where the bears fought has been the site of a problem with garbage and is also close to the blueberry fields. As for the bear season, the conservation officer suggested it has been off to a busy start, but he wasn’t sure if it has been more so than in years past. Ambrose pointed out that on some days, the conservation service is getting calls every 15 minutes. twitter.com/jertricitiesnow

granted leaves

Coquitlam councillors are hoping strength in numbers will help alleviate their number crunch. Council voted Monday to grant MLA-elects Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson month-long, unpaid leaves of absence until July 8, in the hope that the province will establish new rules around byelection requirements during that time. More than 10 other communities across B.C. are facing similar byelection circumstances in the wake of the May 14 provincial election. The voter turnout in recent Coquitlam byelections has hovered between five and seven per cent, while at the same time costing the city between $200,000 and $300,000. It’s the city’s hope that the province will change its byelection laws in light of the fact that so many other communities are facing impending byelection costs as well. “I want local governments to be well represented at the provincial and federal levels,” Mayor Richard Stewart said Tuesday. “I don’t want there to be a penalty for sending council members upward. And the way to do that is to make it so the cost isn’t borne by the taxpayers.” A report will come back to council on possible next steps after July 8.

When the Evergreen Line is up and running in 2016, the mayor of the only community in the Tri-Cities not actually being served directly by the line has a goal. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said his city is going to make a big push to ensure every resident is just one bus away from the line.

However, the PoCo mayor New Westminster and 79 in suggested the region has been Vancouver. Only Maple Ridge/Pitt challenged in recent years by

TransLink’s realignment of services from the suburbs into better performing routes. Though he said it might make sense when it comes to dollars and cents, he argued it’s difficult to build ridership when the frequency is decreased. That seems to be a similar sentiment across the boundary in Coquitlam. Mayor Richard Stewart said though optimization, which is the word used to describe making the service more efficient, might make the buses left on the road more effective, it also makes fewer people use transit. He also said TransLink really needs to focus on the suburbs, especially in transitoriented neighbourhoods. Stewart said the city has worked hard on creating an “urban suburb” that can support transit, but it won’t work unless the transit comes. “We’re not getting the transit,” he said, noting Burke Mountain has been waiting four years for a single bus. TransLink planner Peter Klitz said the region is seeing gains, and characterized it as an “emerging market.” He noted although the region’s performance was lower in the review, the trend is improving based on an increase in population, employment and the optimization of service. “There’s big potential there [in the Tri-Cities],” Klitz said. In the meantime, TransLink has started to update the Northeast Area Transit Plan and is in the process of community consultation.

Buses pulled from service Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com It could still be a few days before a fleet of brand new community shuttle buses is back on the road in the TriCities. However, officials with TransLink note the problem with the shuttle buses won’t have any effect on service levels. Last week, the transportation authority pulled a fleet of 25 new buses off the road after drivers noticed a smell. A total of six operators

reported being sick or getting a headache from the smell. The last straw for TransLink came Thursday when one driver was taken to the hospital to be treated. TransLink spokesman Derek Zabel said maintenance staff and the manufacturer were looking into the issue over the weekend, and it appears there was a leak with the exhaust into the engine compartment. He said safety is the number one priority before the buses go back on the road. “We want to make sure

these buses are 100 per cent before we start going back out there,” he told the TriCities NOW. On Monday, eight of the buses were fixed and back on the road for testing only. Zabel said if the tests turn out good, the rest of the buses will be repaired. He noted it could take a few days to get all the parts in place to fix the vehicles. In the meantime, TransLink is bringing in buses from other depots to fill in and no service will be disrupted. Zabel called the situation

“unusual” and explained the buses were commissioned six weeks ago and installed at the Port Coquitlam transit centre. He said the fleet underwent the typical inspections and tests prior to being put into service. “Anything mechanical can break down,” Zabel said. “That’s just the nature of the business.” Taxpayers will likely be happy to know the buses were under warranty and the fix won’t come at a cost to TransLink.

Academy helps fund Dan OLSON

dolson@thenownews.com The importance of family, hearth and health brought Craig Ogilvie and his family to the Tri-Cities. As a recent immigrant from Scotland, Ogilvie has learned how important community can be in making things right. His cousin, Charlene Reaveley, gave him that sense about Canada. Ogilvie had talked with Reaveley via Skype about immigrating to Canada, and she was going to be one of the first welcoming him and his family here. When Reaveley was killed in a tragic hit-andrun accident in February, 2011, it changed the lives of many. “She was my cousin and she was a good Samaritan,” noted Ogilvie. “We came over on a vacation and got to know her and kept in touch via Skype … She was very community-focused. There were always children around her. It was a huge, huge loss.” He officially landed four months later, and has become involved with the Charlene Reaveley Children’s Charity Society. In a strange country, Ogilvie had to find his niche, and his route was soccer. Through the game, he immersed himself

in the local community and coached various programs to where he launched the Alba Soccer Academy — Alba meaning Scotland in Gaelic. The academy, which officially opened April 6 — on Charlene’s birthday — had a successful spring camp where children as young as four gained an introductory footing into the sport. They learned about ball handling, movement and shooting — always with a ball. Ogilvie believes those touches with the ball are at the core of building a good soccer player. His extensive coaching experience in his homeland and his genial nature helped forge relationships with numerous local clubs, including Coquitlam Metro-Ford, North Coquitlam, Central City, Mountain United and Estrella de Chile in Burnaby, coaching players at various levels

Lee at

over the past two years. His program revolves around a two-step philosophy — desire to play, for those at the introductory stage; and hunger to learn, for that age group of eight to 12 year olds and beyond who are gaining confidence in competing. In honour of his cousin, Ogilvie donates portions of every registration to the Charlene Reaveley Children’s Charity. “I think my program is different in that it focuses on the individual,” he said. “Everything is done with the ball, we use soccer mannequins and not just cones. For the kids, it’s seeing the smiles on their faces, it’s about expressing themselves and touching the ball.” For more information on the Alba Soccer Academy, go to www.albasocceracademy. com.

Seniors’ issues affect all of us in some way

ith B.C. Seniors’ Week recently wrapped up, we need to remember that “seniors” are one of the most diverse groups in the province, and one of the fastest growing. But if we’re talking about the issues facing seniors, we’re talking about almost every facet of life in this province. There are certainly seniors who are approaching the end of their lives, for whom issues of health care and mobility are predominant. But we also have a huge population of seniors who are hale and healthy, living independent lives, and who will do so for decades to come. The “zoomers” movement of active seniors is changing perceptions of what it means to get older, and what behaviour is “normal” for someone over 60 or 65. Many seniors are retired, but with the end of mandatory retirement rules, others are working, even starting new careers or businesses, or going back to school. When we talk about “seniors’ issues,” we have to talk about the job market and the economy, health care, taxes, housing affordability, transit and pensions and the social safety net. Seniors also are very often engaged in their communities, working for charities, lobbying on issues that include everything from the environment to childcare. If we want to address the needs of modern seniors, we’re really talking about addressing the needs of every resident of this province. That’s not exactly a bad thing. If something is good for seniors, chances are it’s good for all of us.

Firstly, the article states that, “Coquitlam’s manager of bylaw and animal control services says the city has no intention of opening up a debate about changing the bylaw to allow backyard chickens.” However, I have recently been in contact with a member of the Coquitlam city council who said she was willing to support our petition to legalize backyard chickens. I am also concerned about how the article states that the chickens attracted rats, without further explanation. Yes, it’s true that chicken owners who do not properly store their chicken feed can attract rats, the same way as irresponsible dog owners who don’t train their puppies can have dangerous dogs. It’s about taking responsibility for your pets. As long as you properly care for your chickens (proper food storage and hygiene) then rats will not be attracted to the coop. This vital point was not discussed in the article. I believe that Coquitlam residents who raise a small number of chickens (not roosters) in a responsible manner do not negatively effect their neighbours’ property values or quality of life.

Clark is making her mark

ne of Premier Christy Clark’s frustrations for the past two years has been her struggle to put a new face on her government, to clearly show she was in charge and that there was a clear separation from the Gordon Campbell era. Winning an election outright (instead of just a party leadership race) did just that. And so does the makeup of her post-election cabinet. Clark displayed a deft touch in ensuring old hands remain at the cabinet table, while at the same time bringing in fresh faces that will help change the public image of the government. The combination of experience and new blood is a tricky equation to get right, but it appears Clark has done well. Of course, some familiar faces continue to serve at the senior table. Rich Coleman, Shirley Bond and Mike de Jong were mainstays of previous B.C. Liberal government cabinets and they will be in Clark’s government as well. But their public profile may be lowered somewhat, allowing other, lesser-known names to emerge as the new face of the B.C. Liberals. For example, Bond is moving from the justice portfolio to the jobs ministry. As justice minister, Bond practically resided on every television newscast and radio show, as the ministry is always dealing with hot-button issues. She won’t have the same airtime as jobs minister, even though the portfolio is a key one in government. Instead, the new justice minister — former Vancouver city councillor Suzanne Anton — is the person who is about to become very well-known with the public. Anton is an interesting choice as justice minister and attorney-general. As a former Crown counsel, she obviously has a legal background

but she did not distinguish herself at Vancouver City Hall. Nevertheless, she will have ample opportunity to impress (or stumble) in her new high-profile role. Coleman will continue in a senior position (natural gas and social housing minister and deputy premier), but he no longer has responsibilities for gaming or liquor, which will keep him out of the news cycle rather than in it. Another new face that will have a high profile is Peter Fassbender, the mayor of Langley and now a Surrey MLA. He was a provocative choice as education minister, and soon he will be squaring off against the B.C. Teachers Federation, which is sure to thrust him into the limelight on a regular basis. I’m told Fassbender’s appointment caught the BCTF leadership off guard. He’s no stranger to big responsibilities — he helped negotiate B.C.’s RCMP contract and played a key role in formulating transit policy in Metro Vancouver — and the BCTF will find him no pushover. Another newcomer you’ll be hearing and seeing a lot of is Todd Stone, the Kamloops MLA who is now the transportation minister. It’s a portfolio that’s mostly about good news and big announcements involving lots of money for various projects, and it usually attracts a fair amount of media coverage.

Finally, while not a new face, Terry Lake’s profile is about to grow substantially. He performed well in the environment ministry, but now he’s the new health minister, which has a whole higher level of challenges, many of which are never far away from the six o’clock news. So Clark has cleverly kept some key veterans at her side, while ensuring newcomers like Anton, Fassbender and Stone (and veteran Lake) take over from Bond and Coleman as the dominant faces of government. Clark can now say the Campbell era is well and truly over, and her own era is just beginning after a two-year try-out. While who sits at the cabinet table is of course important, so too is determining who the deputy ministers are. Clark has quietly made at least one key change in this area. A looming war with B.C.’s doctors may be averted with the removal of Graham Whitmarsh as deputy health minister and the bringing in of Stephen Brown to replace him. Whitmarsh was on a collision course with the B.C. Medical Association, as he wanted to delve into the politically explosive area of doctors’ financial compensation, with the aim of lowering it in many cases. Brown, who had been the deputy minister in charge of children and families, had been in the health ministry previously and was able to successfully negotiate deals with the BCMA. The highly regarded Brown will likely defuse what appeared to be growing tensions between the two parties, thus sparing Clark the kind of political war with doctors that governments rarely, if ever, win.

LETTERS RESIDENTIAL CARE PLAN IS NOT WORKING

My mother, Dorothy Burns, 95, lived at home as long as possible and then moved to The Cedars assisted living in Mission in 2008. When she needed more help, Fraser Health moved her to Menno Hospital (not the facility she had chosen) where, though the staff were caring, she did not receive adequate care to keep her mobile. Fraser Health guidelines state that a person can “move into a private pay residential setting while waiting for a suitable publicly subsidized residential care bed,” and that “when a new bed becomes available in your preferred location, you will have the choice of accepting or declining it.” We moved Mum to a private pay bed at Maple Ridge Seniors Village. It has taken over two years, but with their walking program she is able to walk with assistance. What Fraser Health didn’t tell us is that the names on the transfer list for a subsidized bed within her facility don’t progress. Two and a half years later she still has not been given back her subsidy.

Her case manager says it might be a six-year wait for her subsidy. (She’s 95!) If Dr. Nigel Murray, CEO of Fraser Health, thinks that the lineup of people moving into residential care subsidized beds is moving smoothly, he had better look to the transfer list, where people have been in limbo for years. Our mother has now exhausted her life savings, and we are at our wit’s end of how to keep her in the place she calls home. My dad always said old age wasn’t for sissies. I’m glad he isn’t around to see how poorly his loving wife is being treated by Fraser Health. Kent Burns Port Coquitlam

‘CANADIAN DEMOCRACY IS OVERRULED’ Did you know that the key idea behind modern government is the concept of a separation of powers? The legislative is supposed to be separate from the executive, which is supposed to be separate from the judiciary. And modern government is also

supposed to be separate from its public broadcaster, or any media for that matter. It’s called freedom of the press. In Canada this will no longer be the case under the “Harper Government,” aided by none other than MP James Moore, Minister of Heritage, who is directly responsible for the CBC. If Bill C-60 passes in Parliament, the CBC will no longer be at arm’s length from the “Harper Government.” This potential for control is unprecedented in the West. On May 3, 2011, on the day following the last federal election, Minister Moore declared: “We believe in the national public broadcaster. We have said that we will maintain or increase support for the CBC. That is our platform

… and we will commit to that.” Since then, Moore has overseen a 10-per-cent reduction in the CBC budget, and now he verges on converting the CBC into a kind of state or government broadcaster. In Minister Moore’s most recent constituency newsletter I see the words “Promise made, Promise kept” (referring to the Evergreen Line construction). Clearly, by acknowledgement, MP Moore was able to keep ONE promise from the last election. Keeping this single promise is essential to making sure trains run to schedule, where efficiency rules. Meanwhile Canadian democracy is overruled. Joerge Dyrkton Anmore

jkurucz@thenownews.com PoCo council took steps Monday to place safeguards around undeveloped lands in the Dominion Triangle to ensure local autonomy, while upholding a commitment that those lands be used for job creation. The move comes as municipalities look to finalize their respective roles and submissions as part of Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy (RGS). The undeveloped areas in

the Dominion Triangle will now be designated as a study area in both the RGS and the city’s official community plan. Though the formal part of the strategy was passed two years ago, municipalities are required to submit regional context statements to Metro Vancouver by July 29. “Metro Vancouver is taking a more detailed look at the kinds of changes that are going on in our own community plans,” said Laura Lee Richard, the city’s director of

development services. “They are, and have identified, the important priority of protecting employment lands.” Monday’s discussion was the subject of a public hearing. Speaking on behalf of landowners who live on Dominion Avenue, Victoria Drive resident Peter Helm supported the move. He suggested the area requires flexible land use options. Prairie Avenue resident Patrick Alambets indicated the opposite. “With Metro Vancouver shaping our future, city council loses the responsibility to

control land use,” he said. Mayor Greg Moore, who also serves as the Metro Vancouver board chair, noted the updated RGS contains more policies that protect the area’s industrial lands than its predecessor, the Livable Region Strategic Plan. “Going forward within the next 20 to 30 years, we need to accommodate a million more people in our region, but we also need to accommodate 600,000 new jobs,” he said. “We can’t have an erosion of our employment industrial lands just to get more people in.”

PoCo playgrounds get more accessible CITY TO GO BEYOND WHEELCHAIR ACCESS

John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com Port Coquitlam will soon become the first municipality in the Lower Mainland, if not B.C., to establish formal guidelines around accessible playgrounds on city property. The new policy will be based on a template set by the Canadian Playgrounds Safety Institute referred to as Annex H. Playground specs contained in Annex H include regulations around barrier-free equipment, accessible surfaces, more space to manoeuvre and the extensive use of ramps. “Accessible play spaces promote inclusion for people with disabilities to play with their families and friends while providing a safe and accessible space for people of all abilities,” said Coun. Mike Forrest, chair of the city’s healthy community committee. Barry Becker, the city’s director of parks and recreation, noted that city staff couldn’t find any other municipalities in the Lower Mainland that adhere to Annex H guidelines. In fact, staff members were unsure whether any other city in B.C. operates under those regulations. The closest city found to be using Annex H guidelines was Edmonton.

facebook.com/TheTriCitiesNOW

A staff report highlights a number of factors that need to be considered when planning for these types of playgrounds: physical and cognitive disabilities, hearing or vision impairment, or complex developmental behavioural issues like autism. “With this in mind, wheelchair accessible is just one aspect of the playground design,” a staff report notes. Forrest added the accessible playgrounds can be more expensive to build, while retrofitting costs could be even higher. “It’s felt by staff that with the flexibility contained within Annex H, and if these elements are considered during the initial design phase, that cost increases should be contained to a minimum,” he said. Compliance with Annex H policies is done voluntarily and applies only to city-owned properties. In order to meet compliance standards, all new playgrounds, or those undergoing major renovation work, must meet Annex H requirements. Those standards, however, do not call for mandatory retrofits, nor do they apply to School District 43 playgrounds. The first city playground that will be modified to meet the new guidelines is located in Lions Park, and that work will take place later this year. “I think this is just wonderful for our community,” said Mayor Greg Moore.

names of schools in the TriCities a little mixed up. With construction underway on a new middle school in Anmore, one more name will be added to the list. On June 4, it was up to the school board to pick a name for the building that opens in the fall of 2014. But picking a name proved no easy task. The district set up a school naming committee and requested submissions for a school name along with the rationale behind the choice. The committee received 40 names in total, and whittled down the number to three. The final choices were Anmore Middle, Twin Lakes Middle, and Eagle Mountain Middle. The name Anmore was noted for the school’s geographical location. The suggestion also came with a letter of support from the village’s mayor and council, who lobbied for the new school to be called Anmore Middle. Anmore Mayor Heather Anderson wrote that the village recognizes the name already exists for the elementary school, but argued the name would provide recognition the school is located in Anmore. Eagle Mountain was suggested in part because it is the mountainous ridge between Buntzen Lake and Coquitlam Lake. It was noted all the students are residents of Eagle Mountain. Twin Lakes made the final cut due to the school’s location near Buntzen and Sasamat lakes. Trustee Keith Watkins said he liked the name Eagle Mountain, but fellow trustee Judy Shirra and a few others felt it was too similar to other schools in the district. She also suggested it would be difficult for the school to come up with an original mascot of an eagle. Trustee John Keryluk supported the name Anmore Middle in part because it was the name the village politicians had asked for. School board chair Melissa Hyndes wanted to wait on a decision until the lone trustee representing Anmore, Holly Butterfield, who was absent from the meeting due to illness, could have her say. It was noted Anmore Middle was the name Butterfield favoured. But eventually, the majority of council approved the name Twin Lakes Middle.

Asian-style chops are great on the grill

f you are looking for a great pork recipe for your outdoor grill this summer, this is it. It has become a favourite with us, and I have featured it in many of my classes. I wrote this recipe back in 2008 to commemorate the Summer Olympics in Beijing, and the flavour in this marinade is amazing.

recipe is achieved with the inclusion of ingredients like soy sauce, ginger and sesame oil, and then further complemented by garnishing with sesame seeds and angle-cut green onion. I use berry sugar because it is a finer granule and dissolves better than regular white sugar. For diabetics, or to reduce the calorie count, you can replace this with an equal amount of Splenda brand granulated sweetener. By cooking the residual marinade into a reduction glaze to finish the chops, they become so delectably delicious and scream with flavour. The only ingredient that may seem foreign to you is “sambal oelek.” It is a crushed chili product that comes in a liquid/paste form that is basically a re-hydrated

form of the dried crushed chilies you have on your spice rack. It can usually be found in any major grocery store down the Asian or imported foods aisle. So, fire up the grill and smile — because grilling incredible food has never been this easy.

FIERY ASIAN GRILLED PORK CHOPS

shortcake. There are two sittings: 1:30 and 3 p.m. Tickets are $7 each. Everyone is welcome to attend. “Our berries are supplied by nearby farms, and the shortcake is made using those precious ‘secret’ family recipes,” said Elaine Stead, one of the event coordinators. “The whipping cream is chilled and flavoured just right. “This is a superb example of Trinity United Church’s connection with the people of Port Coquitlam. Trinity is participating in the city’s 100th anniversary celebrations,” Stead continued. “This year especially, we celebrate 100 years of city

living, right here in Port Coquitlam. “Servers will be wearing fancy period hats, styled from 100 years ago. The hot tea and coffee are served in bone china, brought from the many congregational china cabinets in town. “How much more civilized can a person be?” asked Stead. “The lasting legacy is, of course, full tummies and delicious memories. Trinity’s strawberry teas have been a celebrated annual feature for a very long time. After all, this congregation has been doing ‘teas’ for 109 years — since 1904. We are very good at it.”

The strawberry tea is an annual event hosted by Trinity’s United Church Women (UCW) — Rachel Unit. This group of about 20 women are known for their baking and cooking skills. They also organize the two free community dinners at Christmas and Easter, and host other church functions on a regular basis. Tickets can be purchased in person through the church office at 2211 Prairie Ave. in Port Coquitlam. Office hours are 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Mulching helps kill weeds Anne Marrison

buttercup patch needs tougher handling. It may be necessary to move out any precious plants and cover the area with black plastic for a year or so. Buttercups love moisture and light. Dryness and dark is fatal to them. The themes of moisture and greedy feeding habits run through many members of the buttercup (Ranunculus) family. These include thalictrum, clematis, anemones, aquilegias, delphiniums, hellebores, delphiniums, celandines and aconitum. Many are extremely poisonous. Hellebore seed, for instance, can burn skin. But many too, have stunningly beautiful flowers and, like buttercups, an aptitude for survival. Once you know that something is basically a buttercup, it’s easier to treat it in ways that make it happy — and also clue into what bad habits it might have. For instance, aquilegias, hellebores and celandines are all spreaders and seeders. All love rich feeding and (although none of them will grow in a swamp) all respond very well to moist soil. Clematis also loves rich feeding and moisture and

Pulsatilla vulgaris (formerly Anemone pulsatilla) has a finely dissected leaf and a deep taproot. It’s a Prairie anemone that flowers in the moisture of snow melt then hunkers down for a Prairie summer, drawing moisture from deep down and resisting moisture loss with a wiry leaf. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to amarrison@shaw.ca.

though it doesn’t spread as an individual plant, it seeds so enthusiastically that some types have a reputation for invasiveness. Noticing the kind of root and the type of leaf gives you even more information about variations. For instance, bulbs and fat tuberous roots are a storage place for food. Plants with this type of root can be forgiving after disturbance because they have enough nourishment stored up to trigger growth again.

urope has contributed many weeds to Canada that challenge the patience and the joints of gardeners — buttercups, for instance. At this time of year, Ranunculus repens, the creeping buttercup, especially comes to mind. Aside from small, bright yellow flowers, it’s a difficult plant to love. It creeps with long runners down pots, across concrete and over garden edges. When it finds soil, creeping buttercup stretches up to two feet (60 cm) and seeds all over. The field buttercup (Ranunculus acris) looks similar but bigger. This one reaches three feet (one metre) tall. Both can kill incautious grazing animals and are reputed to rob the soil of potassium and poison nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Both also turn into a thick, densely rooted mat if allowed to mature. When removing them at that stage, it’s useful to probe the root balls carefully because small spring bulbs easily hide within those root masses. When the area is cleared, millions of weed seeds will have been liberated. That’s why it’s useful after removing weeds from flower beds to mulch immediately with composted bark, mushroom manure or commercial compost. It won’t smother weeds forever, but will give you some weed-free months, or even a year or two. A very long-neglected

HOW IT WORKS

WHO CAN BENEFIT?

Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated, nontoxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy from both superluminous and laser diodes. When placed in contact with the skin, this energy safely penetrates the tissue. At an intracellular level, the light is transformed into biochemical energy. Cells use this energy to repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’s natural healing process.

BioFlex Low Intensity Laser Therapy is an effective solution for musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions, dermatological problems and the healing of open wounds. BioFlex therapy can safely increase the rate of recovery and help patients reduce the need for pain medication. BioFlex also has the ability to promote rapid recovery post surgery. The beneﬁcial effects of LILT are cumulative over the course of a series of treatments.

I am scared to see a dentist. What can I do?

Q. Why are ticks dangerous to my dog and myself?

Almost everyone experiences some form of anxiety around having treatment at the dental ofﬁce. For some people this anxiety can be debilitating; for some people, it just makes them uncomfortable and they tend to avoid treatment even though they understand that it is needed. The most important thing to understand is that you are not alone and dental professionals understand and are here to help. Oral Conscious Sedation is available to many patients as a way to reduce anxiety and make it possible for even highly phobic patients to successfully obtain the dental treatment they want in a relaxed, comfortable, safe environment.

REAL ESTATE Dear Shirley, I was told there are some grants available for improving my home to make it more energy efﬁcient. Can you provide me with some information on this? Mr. Black

Dear Mr. Black, CMHC’s Mortgage Loan Insurance enables Approved Lenders to offer borrowers more affordable financing choices when purchasing an energy-efficient home or making energy-efficient improvements. If you plan to use CMHC insured financing to make energy-saving renovations, a refund equivalent to 10% of your CMHC mortgage loan insurance premium may be available and a premium refund for a longer amortization period (if applicable). To qualify for this refund, you must carry out a number of steps within a reasonable time after funding of the CMHC insured loan. Normally, the time period between the date of funding (purchase with improvements or refinance) and the date of the post-retrofit assessment should not exceed 24 months. Contact an NRCan qualified energy advisor to obtain the current energy rating for your home. You will receive a list of straightforward recommendations to increase your energy rating. For more information on this program please give me a call. If you have any question or concerns, please email me at shirleybrown@shaw.ca. The more informed you are, the happier you’ll be with your purchase.

Lyme disease is transmitted to dogs and humans through tick bites. Lyme disease is D r. N e n a d K a r l i , more difficult to diagnose, since DVM & Assoc. symptoms are similar to those of many other diseases. Symptoms of Lyme disease include lack of appetite, high fever, swollen joints and lameness that often appears suddenly and may alternate from one leg to another. When left untreated symptoms may disappear but will always recur. It may take over a year from the point of a tick bite for symptoms of Lyme disease to appear. Diagnosis of Lyme disease can be done through blood tests (however false negative tests have occurred), testing fluid samples taken from affected joints and/or having disease control analyze the alive tick. Treatment of Lyme disease involves a lengthy course of antibiotics to completely eliminate the infection. The best course of action is prevention such as certain flea/ parasite medications carried by your local Veterinarian. Reduce your dog’s exposure to ticks by keeping them from underbrush, wooded, sandy or tall grassy areas. Check your dog immediately after they have been in a tick-infested area, if you find a tick contact and visit your local Veterinarian immediately who will properly remove and dispose of the tick. Please be very cautious when handling a tick yourself, if an infected tick’s body contents come into contact with a wound or cut the disease could be transmitted, so please use gloves. If you and your pet(s) enjoy walking in forested areas you may want to consider a Lyme Vaccination for the both of you. For yourself please consult with your doctor and for your dog(s) please contact your local Veterinarian to discuss the benefits of a Lyme disease vaccination.

LAWYER S M Y T H & C O M PA N Y BARRISTERS & SOLICITORS Q: My “ex” says he does not have to pay child support because he only sees our children once a month. Is he right? A: Usually, child support and access are two very different areas in family law. The amount of access can reduce child support if the other parent has at least 40% of the time over the course of the year. Also, a parent who repeatedly does not exercise the access set out in an agreement or court order may be ordered to cover the other parent’s expenses for child care for the missed time. Both parents MARGARET SMYTH have a legal obligation to financially support the children. Child support payments are based on the payor’s income and are determined according to the Child Support Guidelines. You can get an Order for child support by filing an Application in either Supreme Court or Provincial Court. Once your “ex” has been served with a copy of the Application, he will have an opportunity to respond. You can also request that your “ex” contribute to special expenses such as activities, daycare and lessons. In that case, you will both be required to provide the Court will your full financial disclosure. The Court will review the financial disclosure and award child support based on the Guidelines and the number of children for whom the support is payable. An experienced family law lawyer can advise you in relation to your particular circumstances, or you and your “ex” can mediate to determine a reasonable amount for child support with the assistance of a family law mediator.

Sniper a blessing for Saints

Dan OLSON sports@thenownews.com What we know so far for certain — the Burnaby Lakers cannot stop Tyler Pace. The Port Coquitlam sniper scored six times and assisted on four others on Sunday, leading the large point parade in the junior A Saints’ 2012 swamping of Burnaby. Four of his goals came in the second period, when PoCo broke open a one-goal game by tallying 10 straight markers. Pace, an aged-up intermediate, was playing in just his third game of the season after winding down his high schooling at Virginia’s Blue Ridge School. Judging by the scoresheet, it’s been a smooth transition. “Last game I played kind of crummy and I wasn’t finding the back of the net,” Pace noted of the club’s 12-7 loss to Coquitlam on Friday. “My shooting was off. I came in and just figured I had to make up for last game and do a little better. I started off slow but the boys picked me up.” The Port Moody-raised, Missionbased sniper said a lot of his success to date has come due to his linemates. “It was easy coming back, it was tough coming back to the box game but with the guys I have, with Matt (Delmonico) and (Ryan) Landels on the right and Nash (Harrison) on the left side, it was easy to play with them,” said Pace, 18. Delmonico contributed four goals and three assists in the win, while Harrison collected three goals and three helpers. Pace, a six-foot-one attacker in field, graduated from Blue Ridge after two seasons and securing a scholarship to the University of Denver for September. It’s a culmination of nearly 15 years in the sport. CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

SPORTS SHORTS JR A’S TO HOST SAINTS It seemed just like yesterday — but in fact was five days ago. The Coquitlam Adanacs will play host to the Port Coquitlam Saints tonight (7:30 p.m. at the Poirier Sports Centre), days after serving up a 12-7 loss to their junior A rivals. Sparked by hat tricks from Chase McIntyre and Reid Reinholdt, Coquitlam rolled out to a 5-2 lead en route to their eighth win of the season. Michael Messenger chipped in two goals. Tallying twice for the Saints were Matt Delmonico and Cory Cop.

A TOE HOLD: Coquitlam Redlegs Nick Panozzo, left, is safe at home during last week’s B.C. junior premier baseball league action at Mundy Park. Warren Dupasquier drove in a pair of runs as part of a four-run inning in Coquitlam’s 5-4 victory over Whalley. Also driving in runs were Austen Butler, Trevor McKee and Evan Soutar, while Zac Comeault collected the win. The Redlegs currently sit third in the league, with a 16-8 record.

Mose twirls one-hitter in Reds win

Pitching, then hitting. It’s a recipe that’s worked for the Coquitlam Reds in a number of games so far in the B.C. Premier Baseball League season. The Reds swept a doubleheader with the Abbotsford Cardinals last week on the strength of both — although in measured moments.

Coquitlam blanked Abbotsford 4-0 in the opener on the strength of Ryan Mose’s one-hitter. The six-foot-four lefthander tossed a gem, reducing his earned run average to 1.44 in the process. Driving in a run apiece were Jonathan Keltie and Jordan

Zazulak. In the evening nightcap, Abbotsford staked out an early lead but couldn’t contain the Reds’ sluggers in a 9-6 decision. Max Hollingworth mashed his seventh home run of the season and drove in five runs to lead the comeback, as Coquitlam erased a

WALTER PEDALS FIRST BACK NINE FOR HOGG

Coquitlam’s Sandra Walter has made quick time in the Canada Cup cross-country mountain biking series so far. She pedalled past the competition to win the opening two rounds, including most recently in Baie-St-Paul, Que. She launched the series — and her defence of last year’s championship — by winning Mt-Tremblant last month. “Winning at Tremblant was a great way to start the Canada Cup season,” said Walter in a press release. “Winning in Baie-St-Paul was just that much sweeter. The courses were both awesome. I was really proud to win while flying my new Liv/giant colours.” The elite mountain biker and Canadian team member is part of the Liv/giant team.

Firing identical rounds of 71, Kevin Hogg of Coquitlam closed out the B.C. Men’s MidAmateur golf championship last week in Abbotsford in third place. After opening the tournament with a 74, Hogg closed ranks and proved extremely consistent on the par-70 course over the next two days. He trailed Andrew Robb by six strokes. The final day didn’t start all too promising, as Hogg posted bogies on the first two holes. He’d finish two-over par on the front nine, but buckled down and shot a one-under on the back nine for his second straight day of 71. That second round was very similar — with bogey issues on the front nine, followed by a pair of clutch birdies on the back.

4-1 deficit. The Reds scored three in the third to tie it and took the lead in the fourth with five runs. Hollingworth finished 2-for-2, while Aydan Smith was also 2-for2 with three runs scored. The Reds are slated to host WhiteRocktomorrow(Thursday), 7 p.m. at Mundy Park.

BATTER UP 4 CHARITY

For a second straight year, Coquitlam’s Taiyo Boily will be wielding a big bat for charity. The eight-year-old will be heading out to Mackin Park on Father’s Day, June 16, looking to raise cash for KidSport Tri-Cities. A year ago, Taiyo was hitting balls for the victims of the Japanese tsunami, with his efforts resulting in $5,000 for the children in Japan. This year’s event, which starts at 10 a.m., features other players from Coquitlam Little League, and a home run derby (which starts at 11:30 a.m.). At noon, Taiyo will begin a threehour hitting marathon where each fairball and home run add up to donations. For more info, go to http://hits4kids.ca/ event-information/.

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. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

sports@thenownews.com The shots are starting to fall in, but there’s still a ways to go before the Coquitlam Adanacs can claim to be over the hump. The Western Lacrosse Association club upended the New Westminster

Salmonbellies 8-7 on Saturday, withstanding a late charge to improve to 2-4 on the season. Damon Edwards’ tally late in the second period staked the Adanacs to a four-goal advantage. But New West displayed some fire of its own, closing the gap with three

Pace a boost for PoCo CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21

“I started when I was three years old, so I’ve been playing for a long time… I like the quick pace with (box) lacrosse. It helps my hands a lot especially in a field lacrosse game when people pass you the ball in tight jams and you have to handle the ball.” His athleticism, honed over years of soccer and lacrosse, didn’t hurt him this past year when for the first-time ever he signed up to play football and was a starting outside linebacker and wide receiver. Blue Ridge went on to win the state title. “It was good, [and] made me a bit tougher, be able to take more contact and helped my box lacrosse game better,” said Pace. “I didn’t know the playbook, I just kind of showed up and put my helmet on.” Saints coach Danny Harada is pleased with how quickly Pace has fit in and taken charge offensively when the opportunities arise. “He plays that way all the time,” said Harada. “He makes the other team have to devise a game plan around him — he and Delmonico are the keys. The more of those guys you have the harder it is for the other team to defend.” While Pace is a rookie, he debuted last year with a bang — scoring eight goals in four games as a callup. There’s no going back now, noted the coach. “He’s one of those players where it seems to come naturally,” added Harada.

goals, including Ilija Gajic’s powerplay tally at 11:07 that made it a one-goal contest. Then Coquitlam’s vaunted defence, and netminder Adam Shute, shut the door. “I think we came out and looked real good to start the game — the score kind of flattered the Bellies,” said Coquitlam coach Bob Salt. “We still didn’t shoot as well as we should and we took some late penalties that didn’t help, but we held on.” Dane Dobbie led the charge, scoring four times. Chipping in with the first two goals of the game was Ryan Johnson.

Holding on for the victory was important, said Salt. “I definitely thought it was a must-win game,” he said. The win avenged a disappointing 14-6 defeat in New West nearly two weeks ago. Now, the Adanacs turn their attention to a double-header, which starts Saturday when the defending WLA champion Langley Thunder come to town, 7 p.m. at the Poirier Sports Centre. On Sunday, they visit Nanaimo. “I’ve never seen a league where teams are so close,” said Salt, regarding how while his team sits fifth, they are
