POCO WOMAN HELPS SAVE STANDARDBRED HORSES

Chris MONTGOMERY editorial@thenownews.com

Felicia Allen must run one of the only fan clubs where success is measured by the members’ ability to keep the object of their affection from being sold off by the pound and then slaughtered.

Allen is the founder and heart of the Standardbred Horse Fan Club, based in Port Coquitlam but home to members from around the world.

All of them share a love of the solid, powerful, personable animals known best for their skill at harness racing.

She’s also a master at making an eloquent argument that standardbreds — trained in the unique trot or pace suited to pulling a sulky but useless for carrying a rider — should not be sold for slaughter when their careers end.

Allen, like others in the club, has made it her life’s work to provide an alternative for the “talented, magnificent” horses.

Through her Epona stable, she retrains retired standardbreds to carry riders. Along the way, she offers training and riding lessons, “re-homes” horses headed to the auction ring (sometimes CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Stocking the summer shelves Jeremy DEUTSCH

jdeutsch@thenownews.com For many, the summertime provides the perfect opportunity to kick back, relax, and forget about the outside world.

You could say it’s the perfect ‘me time.’

But for some in the Tri-Cities, the sunny months are no less a struggle to get by.

It is a reality not lost on the folks at the SHARE food bank, who often see donations and food stocks drop off around this time of year.

“So it’s always the time of year around in July and August where there’s less on the shelves, especially for families, they don’t have the supports that they typically have at schools, the needs they have are even sharper than they would be otherwise,” said SHARE’s CEO Martin Wyant.

A quick snapshot of the operation illustrates just how much need there is in the community.

During the last fiscal year, the food bank distributed 19,122 food hampers to 5,467 people, while serving 2,448 households and 1,985 children.

The organization also noted 36 per cent of the people who used the food bank this year are under the age of 18.

Wyant said the number of people using the service has remained steady since the food bank saw a big surge in users back in 2010.

That has the organization plan-

NOW FILE PHOTO

SHARE is launching its 12 Days of Christmas in July, answering a growing need to help provide food for people in the Tri-Cities this summer. ning to bring a little bit of Santa to the summer, through its 12 Days of Christmas in July campaign.

Starting July 15, the food bank has a number of food and fundraising activities planned to help get the shelves stocked.

Wyant noted the summer campaign is needed for the food bank to get enough money and food to last until the real Christmas season, when giving is much more prevalent.

The food bank is encouraging the community to come out and support the various events, or start their own food drives in the workplace.

As part of the 12 Days of Christmas in July campaign, SHARE is also opening up the food bank on July 22 to the general public for a tour.

It’s the first time the food bank has held this type of event.

Wyant said the open house is an opportunity for the public to see the operation in action.

“It’s a real eye-opener for people that haven’t gone through it before,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. “I think people build an image in their mind of what a food bank is — of what people will get when they show up — and those images that they build in there minds are often

quite different than the reality.”

He also said SHARE is looking for feedback or ideas from the public at the open house that might enhance the food bank service.

The details of that event are still being worked out.

Here’s what you’ll need to know about the events and opportunities to take part in the 12 Days of Christmas in July campaign: • The Family Jingle will take place at Coquitlam Centre on July 26, from 2 to 6 p.m., in the Shaw WIFI TV Lounge. The event will include collecting food, playing games, education on the food bank, competitions, raffle draws, face painting, along with the Coquitlam Centre Street Team.

• The 12 Days of Christmas in July Food Drive will be held outside of the Real Canadian Superstore Westwood location July 26 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. SHARE is also giving away one of two pairs of tickets to the Honda Celebration of Light for anyone who donates a minimum of $10 at the food drive.

If you’re looking to donate, this is what the food bank needs: canned vegetables; canned fruit; juice; canned meat, like tuna; pasta sauce; rice; Ensure — meal supplements; cereal; granola; peanut butter.

SHARE is also looking for four to six volunteers that would be available on Wednesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. to volunteer at the food bank. For info, go to www. sharesociety.ca.

Burke Mtn. plan to get public input Chris MONTGOMERY editorial@thenownews.com

The City of Coquitlam has slammed the brakes on a plan to develop townhouses on a 35-acre piece of land on Burke Mountain that was originally to have included a middle school and community centre.

The move comes after area residents ran a petition drive against the plan for denser housing, arguing it would bring in hundreds more people into an area already short on green space, backyards and parking.

The group collected about 250 names.

Monday night, as the plan was to have its first reading in council, city manager Peter Steblin announced instead that the city would be recommending further public consultation before the issue is brought back to council. An update will be presented in two weeks, he said, noting that plans now call for the school to be built elsewhere.

Ian Radnidge, the city’s acting manager of development services, told reporters in June that the school district had an alternate site in Partington Creek designated for the school, and that the city was intending to build the community centre there as well.

The initial plan also called for removal of any reference to two sites for affordable housing on the parcel.

The city is completing its Affordable Housing Strategy and is moving away from designating specific properties for low-cost housing, Radnidge said.

Fire chief puts out wild fire warning Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com It’s looking like nothing but sunny skies and warm temperatures now that summer is in full swing.

But that also means the forests around the Tri-Cities are starting to dry out, giving some pause for concern for the Port Moody fire department.

The department has received complaints from residents living on the north shore of the city about illegal campfires.

Fire Chief Remo Faedo said it’s an annual exercise to deal with teens lighting fires in places they shouldn’t, but with the fire danger rating potentially heading to red, he wants to send out a warning.

“Fires can actually spread pretty fast up on the north shore in the forested area, that means the forested area can burn down, but more importantly you’ve got houses on the interface that would be vulnerable,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. “That would be a nightmare come true for us.”

And the fire department has been finding campfires all over the community, including Burt Flinn Park, Noon Creek ravine and the College Park area.

In some cases, firefighters have recovered gas cans at the site of some these fires.

“When you start seeing that kind of activity, you get pretty concerned,” Faedo said.

Port Moody does allow open fires, but they must be for per-

rescuing them directly at auctions by outbidding the “kill buyers”) and spreads the word about the breeds suitability for riding, police work, therapy and competitive jumping — their “second careers,” as she calls them.

Allen rode as a child in Copenhagen and when her family landed in North Vancouver, they operated a stable on their property.

Showing and training became her “life’s work,” and she has gone on to study humanequine communication and the value of horses in therapy for people with social challenges like autism.

“Horses are the supreme survivors,” Allen says. “They date back to the dinosaurs. They are animals of highly developed instinct, and they sense their environment like an antenna.”

From early in her work, she says, she was troubled by standardbreds’ bad reputation as riding horses — especially when it meant that most were sent to auction directly from their last racing season, often for $500 or $600.

Ten years ago, Allen founded the club to share her enthusiasm for the breed with other horse fans, and to launch her fundraising, rescue and education programs.

Every race season is different. One year, 10 horses might be saved; once, it was 23. Homes are found, and horses retrained or retired as companion animals.

The public is invited to get a look at the stable and join in celebrating national Standardbred Horse Day on July 13.

The club is hosting a family fun day when kids and parents are welcome to meet the rescued horses, play with Hamlet, the pot-belly rescue pig, take part in a naming contest for one of the new horses and enjoy tractor rides, games, raffles and food, including vegan options. Funds raised from the day will go towards acquiring an equestrian centre for standardbred work.

Although the day will be a celebration of her favourite breed, Allen says the day is mostly a chance for people to leave behind their screens and wifi and enjoy some fresh air and friendly animals.

The event takes place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Sunday, July 13 at the Epona Stable, 3323 Devon Road, Port Coquitlam.

Admission $1 for children, $3 for adults.

Proceeds will be used for care and feeding of rescued horses.

Vancouver to delay a decision on a controversial $500-million regional garbage incinerator for three years – and to produce a “current and comprehensive” business and environmental case in the meantime.

The delay would provide time to assess technologies and recycling practices that have developed since Metro proposed the burner a decade ago, councillors argued Monday night.

It would also mean that a vote on the incinerator could become an issue in the provincial election slated for 2017 – and “give citizens a chance to have their say,” Coun.

Bonita Zarrillo argued.

Coquitlam council has been battling the incinerator for years and was poised to vote Monday on a resolution asking Metro to delay a decision on the incinerator for two years.

After listening to a highlevel delegation of Metro staff present a defence of the

plan, and after grilling them for about two hours, council decided instead to ask for a three-year delay.

Their objections to the plan ranged from a lack of any business plan to a lack of detail on a site or incineration method and a failure to take into account the growth of recycling practices.

“I know what a business plan should (look like),” Coun. Lou Sekora told the delegation.

“Here’s what it will cost, here’s what (usable energy) it’s going to produce, here’s what we can sell the energy for.

You have no site, no cost to haul (garbage to the incinerator). It’s not really a business plan, it’s not complete.”

Coun. Neal Nicholson also pressed hard for a detailed business case.

“It doesn’t consider the impact of changes in technology and municipal recycling facilities (that might open).

There will be a reduction in the waste stream… This doesn’t look at the broad pic-

ture, it doesn’t consider that the world has changed since the original decision was made.

“My challenge is that the further down the road we get to a final decision, the more

My challenge is that the further down the road we get to a final decision, the more expensive it is to say no.

–Neal Nicholson, Coquitlam councillor expensive it is to say no.”

Coun. Craig Hodge argued that the economics of producing energy from waste no longer justify the incinerator and that “burning is not an option environmentally.”

“I want more answers,” he said. “I want better answers.”

Council also echoed critics of the plan who say it relies on selling electricity that the incinerator produces to B.C. Hydro for a premium price that Hydro officials say they have not agreed to pay.

Metro has yet to settle on a site for the new facility.

Four proposals have surfaced for sites in Port Mellon, Nanaimo, Delta and Vancouver.

Nanaimo and Vancouver both oppose the plans, and Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, chair of Metro’s board of directors, has said it’s unlikely Metro would build in a city that is against the plan.

Metro’s only incinerator now operates in Burnaby.

In June, Coquitlam council urged that all Lower Mainland residents be permitted to vote on whether the incinerator should proceed, with the vote held at the same time as the referendum on regional transportation funding.

In May, Maple Ridge asked Metro to delay its plan for two years.

Police release pics of suspected scammers Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com

Coquitlam RCMP are hoping the image of an alleged crook, who has been busy scramming seniors out of their money, will help lead to the suspect’s capture.

On Tuesday, local Mounties released a pair of photos of a suspect at ATM machines investigators believe he used to steal money from two victims.

The first incident happened May 10, when police were called to Port Coquitlam after a purse was stolen from a vehicle.

Investigators believe two suspects followed the 58-year-old victim around earlier in the day and secretly recorded her credit card’s PIN number when she made a purchase. The suspects then followed her home.

As the victim got out of her car, a man and a woman distracted her by asking for water for their overheating engine.

Police said the Good Samaritan went inside her house to get some water to help the couple. After she gave them the water, she started to unload her groceries from her car.

As the duo was leaving, they asked for more water again in case their engine overheated down the road.

The victim went inside to get more water, but when she returned, the pair had vanished along with her purse.

Within minutes, the thieves had already withdrawn cash from one of the bankcards.

Police said the pair also acted like they were in a relationship by holding hands.

The vehicle they were driving was a black Honda.

Coquitlam RCMP believe they are the same suspects from a scam on another senior reported in the Tri-Cities NOW in June.

On June 8, Coquitlam resident Shirley Magliocco had her purse stolen in a similar fashion by a man and a teenaged girl looking for water for their overheated van.

In this case, when the man asked for hot water, Magliocco, who was just trying to be helpful, told the Tri-Cities NOW she went inside to her laundry room.

The teenager followed.

Magliocco said she got distracted by her new alarm system sounding and went upstairs to shut it off.

When she returned, the girl, the man and the van were gone. So was her purse.

The thieves quickly got about $1,500 in cash before Magliocco cancelled her cards.

Mounties hope the release of the pictures will help get the word out to the public about the scam, so others don’t become victims.

“We’ll try everything we can to catch him because it doesn’t look like he’s going to stop,” RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said.

He recommended people do what they can to shield their pin numbers when they make a purchase in an effort to avoid becoming a victim.

The male suspect is described as Caucasian about 35-years-old, approximately six-feet tall, with black greasy hair, wearing a white shirt and jeans.

The female suspect in the first incident is described as about 25-years-old, wearing a very tight white shirt and jeans.

In the second incident, the woman is described as a teen about 15 to 16 years old with an average height, medium build, and long dark hair.

Anyone with information about the suspects is asked to contact the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file 2014-12462 or 2014-15580.

THE TRI-CITIES NOW

| WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 2014

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

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

Find some time to give this summer

T

here’s no doubt we get busy in the summer.

After all, there’s so much to see and do when the weather gets nice.

There are vacations, kids camp, and BBQs to attend.

The needs of others tend to get lost in our own sunny world.

But that doesn’t mean other people around us aren’t struggling to support themselves and put food on the table just because it’s warm outside.

The need in the Tri-Cities is year round. Just ask the people at SHARE food bank.

The summer months typically yield the least amount of food and cash donations to the food bank, which contributes to low stock on the shelves.

It’s not a new problem, but it’s no less important to address.

That’s why SHARE is launching its 12 Days of Christmas in July campaign next week, profiled on page 4 of the TriCities NOW. The campaign aims to get people thinking about the less fortunate in this typically busy time, and more importantly doing something about it by donating.

There are several events planned that can get you feeling in the Christmas mood even though mercury is approaching 30 C. One of those events is a food drive to be held outside of the Real Canadian Superstore Westwood location July 26 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The food bank is in need of items like canned vegetables, canned fruit, juice canned meat, like tuna, pasta sauce and much more.

This and other events are a great opportunity to give back and feel good before heading off on that longdeserved vacation of getaway.

NUMBERS DON’T ADD UP

Government keeps insisting that the teachers’ demands are “unaffordable.”

Actually, government has been spending $1,000 less per student than the national average. If government spent the national average on our students, they would have over $500 million more every year for education. This is the amount that government has been siphoning away from the education sector for more than a decade.

When Peter Fassbender claims that teachers demands will cost over $2 billion, he is not mentioning that the $2 billion is spread out over five years. If you do the math, $500 million more over five years does make more than $2 billion. So if the government continues to hold the line on spending, they will be shortchanging our kids over $2 billion over five years, compared to the rest of the country.

B.C. has the worst educator-student ratio in the country.

Other provinces have hired more teachers (per studentcapita) while B.C. continues to have less.

B.C. teachers have had enough. If other provinces can afford to spend more on their students, then so can B.C. So whenever the government says the word “unaffordable,” what they really mean is they think B.C.’s students deserve less than students in other provinces. Is that what the citizens of BC want?

Don’t our kids deserve the same as other Canadian kids?

B.C. should at least spend the national average. Anything less continues to rob them.

First Nations hold the keys

A

nyone who has been paying attention to the evolution of First Nations rights and powers in B.C. over the past 20 years or so should not be surprised by the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision that recognized a specific aboriginal title.

Nevertheless, given the dire warnings from some of economic chaos that will result from the historic decision, there is reason to be concerned about its impact on B.C.’s economy.

The high court resolved what started out in 1983 as a dispute over a logging license but which evolved into a landmark case about the aboriginal title rights of a specific First Nations, in this instance the Tsilhqot’in Nation in the Chilcotin region of the Interior.

The concept of aboriginal title was first established by the Supreme Court of Canada more than 40 years ago, in the Calder vs. B.C. case. But the recent decision represents the first time in history the high court has formally declared aboriginal title to exist in a specified area.

The decision potentially gives First Nations that establish title (not an easy task) a veto over activities on their land.

Where title is established, the consent of the First Nation band in question must be gained before activities can proceed. The high court did provide an escape clause of sorts for governments. If a government meets a three-pronged test, it can override the lack of First Nations consent.

The test is a potentially rigorous one: a government must fully show it has consulted and accommodated First Nations’ interests, the proposed action must be “compelling and substantial” for the public (which includes First Nations) good, and that the government is consistent with its fiduciary obligations to First Nations.

But the court also referenced a pre-

VIEW FROM THE LEDGE Keith Baldrey

vious decision (Delgamuukw) in citing specific activities that can potentially infringe on aboriginal title, and they include forestry, mining, infrastructure, environmental protection and “the general economic development of the interior of British Columbia.”

So while the decision provides clarity and, eventually, certainty over issues pertaining to First Nations rights and powers, it didn’t vastly reshape the landscape on this matter.

An analysis by the Osler law firm’s aboriginal law group (entitled: “The Sky is Not Falling”) notes this. “Despite the significant media attention that the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision has received, it represents a reiteration of established law regarding aboriginal title that has been developed over decades,” it said.

Another prominent law firm, MacMillan LLP, had this to say: “With the exception of clarifying what is required to establish occupation, the decision does not make significant changes to the law of aboriginal title as it has come to exist over the last several decades.”

In B.C., the reality on the ground for the past decade or so is that First Nations have had a de facto veto over many significant activities on land claimed as ancestral. Increasingly, both the provincial government and private sector companies have realized this, and have had to ensure that First Nations support

is secured -- not ignored - before proceeding with a particular development. And, really, what is the problem with that?

Not having First Nations support can frustrate or even block a particular development (hello there, Northern Gateway pipeline). The court’s decision would seem to cement this reality along more defined lines.

However, while the B.C. government and many companies doing business here are aware of this, the trouble is that many outside interests are not and they (i.e. potential capital investors) may well be thinking that the sky has fallen, particularly if they pay more attention to media coverage than legal analyses.

This is where concerns about the impact on the provincial economy arise.

It may well be that an investment chill may develop in this province, as potential investors nervously wonder whether it’s safe to invest in a project where the backing of the First Nations concerned is not secured, or not certain.

It seems likely that the investment world may be unsettled for a period of time, as things flowing from this decision sort themselves out. There are outstanding questions: what happens to overlapping land claims when it comes to establishing title is an example of just one.

In the meantime, it may be wise and prudent for any natural resource developer to secure the support, if not the outright partnership, of First Nations before proceeding — which is often the case today anyways.

While there’s no doubt the Supreme Court decision is historic and significant, British Columbia has been moving in the decision’s direction for some time now.

The sky is not falling folks, but it may have some storm clouds for a while.

LETTERS RIVERVIEW STORY MISSED CONTEXT

Re: “Riverview needs to include housing: Burpee,” Friday June 27.

I was happy to see that the article in the June 27 edition of the Tri-Cities Now publicized the TriCities Homelessness & Housing Task Group’s expression of need for a range of housing options which could be accommodated on the Riverview Lands. We believe there does need to be a discussion in the community about the possibility and feasibility of certain forms of housing on the Riverview Lands.

I am disappointed, however, that the article took this expression of need out of context, and was not a fair representation of the scope of the Task Group’s recommendations.

The Task Group’s “Renewing Riverview: Statement of Need,” published in May, groups the needs into two main components: a mental health & addictions wellness centre, and housing — both transitional supportive housing and permanent affordable and market rental housing.

With regards the suggested

features of the wellness centre, there is a degree of resonance with the more recent report “Into the Future: The Coquitlam Health Campus,” prepared by Dr. John Higenbottam on behalf of the City of Coquitlam.

The Task Group’s Statement of Need is very clear, and I was very clear in my presentation to Coquitlam Council that the core feature of a re-dedicated Riverview should be the mental health & addictions wellness centre, with housing accommodated on the periphery of the Riverview Lands such that it does not jeopardize the therapeutic, recreational, environmental and cultural values of the Lands.

It would not be possible to cover in a single newspaper article the full scope of and rationale for the recommendations in “Renewing Riverview: Statement of Need.”

I urge your readers to review the document in its entirety before passing judgement. The statement along with a companion document with supporting data can be found at www.tricitieshomelessness.ca/category/news.

GARBAGE BINS TOO TOUGH FOR SENIORS

Coquitlam has just launched its new garbage handling system.

It is extremely onerous on the elderly and disabled.

The biggest problem is the curbside early morning placement requirement. My father is 88 years old. He cannot get his garbage (all five new containers) to the curb on his own.

He has someone who has been doing it the night before garbage day for him, for years. Apparently he will now be fined $500 for doing this in the future.

There is of course no common sense in City Hall. I have explored all options, including their suggestions that a Fraser Health caregiver show up at 5 a.m. on garbage day.

The lack of common sense is almost as bad as the discrimination. I explained to the city hall personnel that his garbage is of course already outside but inside the fence. We simply want permission to put it outside of the fence the night before.

Apparently bears are aware of and will respect fences? Who knew. The official position is that

THE TRI-CITIES NOW | WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 2014

keeping garbage three feet inside your yard instead of three feet outside makes a difference. I don’t know how to deal with this other than ask for help from the media.

DEAD COUGAR PIC TOO MUCH Re: “200-pound cougar killed in Port Moody,” Friday July 4.

I was saddened to see the headline regarding the cougar who was shot and killed in Port Moody [June 30]. I opened the paper to see under what circumstances this sad event occurred only to see you had published a photo of the deceased cougar.

I found that photo both gratuitous and tasteless. It was completely unnecessary to show the image and I cannot fathom why anyone thought publishing it was a good idea. Out of respect for the deceased animal and out of respect for people who actually care about the local wildlife that reside in our community, that photo should not have been published.

Coquitlam library launches book bus search LIBRARY PROVIDES SOME FUNDS TO REPLACE MOBILE BOOK VAN DESTROYED BY FIRE

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com

Todd Gnissios is on a mission to find a new Book Bus. Unfortunately for the Coquitlam Public Library’s director, they don’t come by very easy.

“There’s certainly not a lot of book buses around,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW. But that’s Gnissios’ task: find a replacement Book Bus or recreate the service in some way, after the library board voted to keep the service running.

However, the board also gave the director a mandate to replace the bus within the library’s current budget and through fundraising.

That means Gnissios will also have to find a replacement with about $70,000, the amount the library got back from insurance.

A new book bus can cost up to $300,000.

The original van used for the service was destroyed following a fire on May 2.

The 1992 converted Econo Van had just returned from a run before it caught fire in the parking garage of the library’s City Centre Branch on Pinetree Way. The fire appeared to have started in the engine block, and was not considered suspicious.

The estimated loss of the vehicle, its contents and damage to the parking area was in the thousands.

The bus serviced the Burke Mountain and

Mariya Orlenko’s journey started when her family moved to Canada from Kiev, Ukraine when she was twoyears-old. Only a couple years later she began playing the piano with her grandma, who was a music teacher.

Those were the initial steps that led the 14-year-old Coquitlam pianist to winning the 2014 Canadian Music Competition (CMC) last week.

The first competition Orlenko entered was the Russian music festival when she was about seven-years-old and she has been in competitions almost yearly ever since.

“We do similar competitions every year. Starting at age 11, I was in the Richmond music competition every year,” said Orlenko.

Being a Dr. Charles Best Secondary student, she still manages to find the time to practice four to five hours a day, despite doing other rec-

hopes to be accepted to Glenn Gould School in Toronto where she can study to become a concert pianist.

Orlenko’s love and dedication to the art of piano have led her to success, including her recent win of the CMC. Her favourite part about winning the competition was being able to play with an orchestra, something she had never done before.

“I just thought it was very cool that you get a chance to play with the orchestra,” Orlenko said.

The CMC helps further

musical education along with preparing the musicians to the world of elite-level competition. “[The Canadian Music Competition is] a unique occasion for the public to discover and encourage young developing musicians and emerging professionals,” says Vincent Lauzer, the CMC’s Artistic Ambassador for 2014.

This year’s competition included 268 participants aged 7 to 30 who competed from June 21 until July 3.

The contest contained two preliminary rounds where 500 contestants were scored and needed a minimum of 85 per cent in order to advance to the National Final.

More than $100,000 in scholarship money has been distributed, with Orlenko receiving around $1,000 to further her piano studies.

There are a total of four age groups in the competition, with a total of four pianists, a celloist and a violinist winning titles. Three people tied in the 15-to-18 year old category.

Orlenko and the five other winners played at the CMC Gala held at the Palais Montcalm in Québec City on July 5.

Tires turn to grants

It’s a win-win for three Tri-Cities improvement projects, after receiving grant awards totalling $73,930 from Tire Stewardship BC (TSBC) recently.

The City of Coquitlam was awarded $13,930 towards installing rubber flooring in the weight facility at the City Centre Aquatic Complex, as well as $30,000 for a brand new rubber playground surface at Queenston Park.

The City of Port Coquitlam was presented with $30,000 to install a new playground surface at Lion’s Park. The three projects will also keep 72,961 pounds of rubber out of B.C. landfills. For more info, visit www.tirestewardshipbc.ca.

How to turn your green thumb into a golden ale For many, nothing rewards a hot summer day than a cold glass of home-brewed beer.

Did you know that a tall, tasty malt is but a little elbow grease away?

Mike Por, landscape manager for the City of Coquitlam’s parks depart-

Host a Port Moody block party this summer!

Are you looking to have some fun this summer? Block parties are a great way to get to know your neighbours, build a sense of community, and celebrate being a Port Moody resident. We’ll set you up with barricades and tents, and give you two bottles of Andres Wine to give away as a door prize!

to grow your own hops in your own garden.

It’s just another elaborate twist on the burgeoning options for home brewers and craft beer connoisseurs, as the popular hobby continues to flourish.

The workshop, which runs Saturday, July 12 from 2 to 4 p.m., covers growing, propogation, culturing and harvesting of hops crops — the drinking is saved for homework.

Por has been growing his own hops in one form or another for more than 15 years, and established the hops varieties currently growing in the Inspiration Garden, where the workshop will be held.

A Coquitlam resident,

Hollett has been crafting beer from home for almost 10 years. It has resulted in a bounty of award-winning ale, recognized for quality and taste.

Hollett will discuss how to select the best hops variety for your preferred tastes.

Inspiration Garden is located at the corner of Guildford Way and Pipeline Road in Town Centre Park.

If you are just getting started in sewing then getting a sewing machine would be the first step as it will be required for many construction techniques whether you are sewing crafts, garments or quilting. A sewing machine offers the most functionality of the two machines. A serger also known as an overlocker will trim the edges of fabric at the same time it stitches an overlock stitch over the edge of the fabric. It is a must have with any avid sewer. A serger is also a great machine for constructing with knit fabrics, it allows the seams to still stretch and gives them a nice finished appearance. Take a look at the seams of your yoga pants or a T-Shirt and you will see they were made with a serger.

The two machines are tools that a sewer uses together to create with. There are many more sewing machines to choose from then sergers as they have a wider range of use. A good serger will give you the option of using 2, 3 or 4 threads the more advanced sergers will give you the option of 5 or more threads, offering you the most creativity. Just like a sewing machine you need to test out a serger before you purchase. Look for ease of threading, blade adjustments and differential feed adjustments along with number of stitches and the ability to manually adjust the tension if needed. If you have to choose between a sewing machine or serger then you would want to get the sewing machine first. We are always happy to show you the functions of both machines. Remember if the store won’t let you test drive it then don’t buy it from there.

Summer Caution: Heat Stroke Heat stroke occurs in dogs who are left in a small confined space with poor air circulation (notably cars) or when playing or exercising outside on warm sunny humid days.

Cars turn into ovens within 10 minutes, even in the shade with the windows open. If it is only 26°C outside, the temperature inside a car can reach 37°C in 10 minutes D r. N e n a d K a r l i , and a lethal 43°C in 20 minutes. Dogs cool themselves DVM & Assoc. by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. The hot upholstery and air in vehicles prevents dogs from cooling themselves. If you witness any dog in a car on a warm or humid day who you believe may be in distress, please ask stores to page their customers and call the local SPCA or Police immediately. How to recognize the signs of overheating? First signs are restlessness and excessive panting, sometimes excessive drooling followed by very difficult (and loud) breathing, dry tacky gums and agitation. Further elevation of body temperature leads to ataxia, very red gums, and tremors. In the end stages dogs are very weak, have laboured breathing, are unable to stand up or move and sometimes have seizures or collapse. These symptoms without care are often followed by coma and death. Don’t waste time!!! Immediately call your Veterinarian! And in the meantime try to cool your dog down by immersing in cool water or spraying with water. NEVER USE ICE WATER! This constricts the blood flow which inhibits cooling. Make sure that their head and neck are also wet. Give the dog some cool water to drink. Please go to your Veterinarian or emergency hospital ASAP.

REAL ESTATE Q. I’m thinking of buying a “fixer-upper”. Is this a good idea?

A. Fixer-uppers are poorly maintained properties which have a lower market

value than other houses in the neighbourhood. It is often recommended that buyers find the least desirable house in the best neighbourhood, but there are several things to consider.

1. Are the expenses needed to bring the value of that property to its full potential market value within your budget?

2. Are the size and layout going to work with your vision? The layout can sometimes be changed but often at a high cost if this involves “supporting” walls.

3. How much time do you have to devote to the project? If you’re planning on using your own handyman skills, you might save money, but it will take longer.

4. Make sure to have a professional home inspection prior to buying. You don’t want surprises such as major problems with the foundation, plumbing or electrical.

Most buyers should avoid run-down houses that need major structural repairs.

Those properties should be left to the builder or tradesman normally engaged in the repair business.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT

How often should I see my Dentist?

Gum disease is a very common disease.

It is often linked to a higher risk of heart disease, strokes and diabetes. Regular professional cleanings with the dental hygienist can help to manage and control the progression of gum disease. When you have your teeth cleaned, the bacteria in your mouth are disrupted. It takes about Dr. Myrna Pearce 2-3 months after a dental cleaning for the bacteria to re-organize themselves so they are able to cause disease again. Therefore, on average, the ideal interval between dental cleanings would be about 3 months. Some people are not as susceptible to gum disease and can tolerate a longer interval between visits. Other issues such as age, medications, smoking and diabetes are all factors that influence the health of your gums. Good oral habits such as brushing your twice daily and flossing regularly also help to control disease. Good oral hygiene in combination with professional dental cleanings will greatly improve the health of your gums.

Is moving to the cottage all it’s cracked-up to be?

It depends who you ask.

For many Canadians, retiring to the cottage is a lifelong dream: a fun, relaxing and rewarding way to spend retirement. But taking up permanent residence in cottage country is a life transition that comes with rewards and challenges in equal measure.

Canadians who have made the transition understand that there are a wide range of factors that should be considered before permanently relocating to the cottage: • Accessibility – How accessible is your property?

• Social lifestyle – Many cottagers enjoy acres of property.

Will you feel isolated?

• Operating costs – Maintaining a property in a rural environment can be expensive.

• Estate – What is the best way to transition this asset in your estate?

We have many clients that have achieved this dream and would be happy to guide you through an analysis to see if this is a viable option for you and the ones you love.

n his classic book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell describes the refusal of the call: “Often in actual life, and not infrequently in the myths and popular tales, we encounter the dull case of the call unanswered; for it is always possible to turn the ear to other interests. Refusal of the summons converts the adventure into its negative. Walled in boredom, hard work, or ‘culture,’ the subject loses the power of significant affirmative action and becomes a victim to be saved.”

I tell my children and patients that one’s calling is the intersection of four circles: (1) your talents [what you do better than everyone else], (2) your passions [what you care about, what you love to do], (3) your values [what is important, meaningful and true to you] and (4) the needs of the world.

This way of looking at the path of our careers and our lives has an almost universal resonance. I’ve encouraged my children to read widely, explore new experiences and nurture their talents in the lifelong adventure of discovering their calling — their positive potential in life.

There are precious few who discover the one great thing they were meant to do early in life. For most, it is a process of trial and error with many being sidelined and stuck by circumstances and settling for a life not quite complete.

Sometimes we may start with great dreams and ambitions but later realize that the life we had imagined is not for us. I have seen classmates and colleagues leave medicine in medical school and even after entering practice. It takes courage to give up old dreams that we have outgrown or that never really suited us.

My mother’s early childhood was full of promise. She was intelligent and caring.

Born and raised in Vancouver, she was well-read, speaking and writing perfect English. I imagined that she would have attended UBC and become a teacher or a writer.

But the trajectory of my mom’s life changed at age nine when her mother died, leaving her and her siblings orphaned. Their priority was to survive and with love, they chose to do this together. The older kids sacrificed their personal dreams to ensure the wellbeing of their siblings.

But by answering the call to keep the family together, they created an enduring legacy

ADANACS CLOSE GAP The Coquitlam Adanacs are inching closer to their first goal — a spot into the Western Lacrosse Association playoffs.

The Adanacs entered last night’s contest in Maple Ridge — past the Tri-Cities NOW deadline — on the heels of a tough 8-5 loss to the first place Victoria Shamrocks on Saturday.

Coquitlam trailed much of the night, but made a valiant rally with two goals from Brandon Goodwin and a single by rookie Matt Delmonico in the third. Daryl Veltman finished with five assists, while netminder Adam Shute turned aside 41 shots.

The Adanacs, who sit in fifth place with a 5-6 record, had earlier slapped New Westminster 9-6 at Queen’s Park, on the strength of a threegoal game from team scoring leader Brett Hickey. Ryan Johnson chipped in a pair.

Shute turned aside 44 shots in the win.

Coquitlam’s next test comes Saturday, 7 p.m. when Nanaimo visits the Poirier Sports Centre.

PRE-TEENS SHINE IN FIVE Alanna Nobel and Cameron Slaymaker didn’t just dominate their event, they rocked in virtually five each to cart off gold at the B.C. junior development pentathalon championships in Maple Ridge last month.

The two Coquitlam Cheetahs athletes set the pace, with 10-year-old Nobel taking four golds out of five events — the 60-metre hurdles, long and high jumps, shot put and 600m dash.

Slaymaker, 11, scored gold in all five events to finish with 2436 points.

Placing third in the girls-10 competition was Liepa Bajarunas, while 11-year-old Rhianne Eder finished fifth overall. Georgia Hamnett, 12, stood ninth.

Also in the boys 11-year-old division, Kieran Sheriff placed 15th. Nine-year-old Lukas Gaertner came in sixth, while Grahame Eder was 11th, and 12-year-old Liam Espedido finished ninth.

TRIBE SUFFER TOUGH LOSS

Some early errors added up to the first loss in a month for the Tri-City Indians.

While pitcher Brandon Jeon allowed just two earned runs, a couple of miscues gave Richmond a 5-3 edge, ending the Tribe’s sixgame winning streak.

Jeon struck out five batters and gave no free passes, while Evan Bannister drove in two runs in the sixth inning as Tri-City mounted a comeback attempt. Picking up two hits apiece were Thomas Cornell and Brendan Sinclaire.

With a dozen games left in the regular season, Tri-City sits third at 18-6, three games back of first-place Chilliwack. They host Ridge Meadows tonight (Wednesday), 7 p.m. at Heritage Woods.

The Port Moody Storm enjoy the spoils of their successful — and undefeated — season, following Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Saanich in the under-14 Provincial Cup final. To see more photos from the tournament, scan this page using the free Layar app and your smart device.

Storm reign at u14 provincials Dan OLSON sports@thenownews.com Perfection has its own rewards, and the Port Moody Storm are eager to enjoy it all.

The under-14 girls soccer team finished the season just as they started it, with a strong win by edging the Saanich Fusion 1-0 in the Provincial A Cup championship final in Burnaby on Sunday.

Determination got both teams into the final matchup, but the deciding factor came in the 55th minute when Emily Gomes was fouled in the Saanich box. Storm striker Maddie Low would take the penalty kick and calmly slotted it past the Fusion goalkeeper for what proved to be the game’s lone offensive tally.

“You can’t really replicate the pressure of taking a penalty kick to win a provincial title but you also couldn’t really be more prepared than she was to take one,” remarked coach and proud father

Jeremy Low. “She kept her calm better than most of the parents.”

As Port Moody proved all tournament long, defence came up huge and held the opposition at bay the rest of the way, with Ella Sutton maintaining the club’s clean sheet.

With Saanich pushing over the final minutes, defenders Maya Lewis and Jenna Patterson led the forces in securing the victory.

“It was a lot of pressure on the girls — I think any final is, but especially so when you have gone undefeated all season and everyone is expecting you to win,” said Low. Over the tourney’s four games, they out-scored the competition 11-0 and seemed in control nearly every minute. But as the coach noted, preparation was key as it proved all season long.

“For the finals we told the girls to not try and play mistake free

soccer, because that is impossible, but to try and enjoy the moment, trust in their talent and readiness and play with joy.”

The Storm rolled near-perfect through the season, with 16 wins and two ties while serving up just three goals against.

The season also featured a Coastal Cup championship.

The Port Moody Storm are: Linnea Cassidy, Maranda Cherry, Taylor Cherry, Hailey Counsell, Leah Favaro, Julia Gair, Emily Gomes, Madison Hinde, Faith Holt, Maya Lewis, Maddie Low, Madeline Moore, Jenna Patterson, Abigail Schwartz, Brigitte Soutar, Ella Sutton and Hannah Van Laethem.

Playoff for junior As

The regular season is in the books and now the real fun begins.

The Coquitlam junior Adanacs will put a second-place finish behind them and focus on their next opponent — the third-place Victoria Shamrocks in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League’s best-of-five semifinal.

Coquitlam won two of three regular season games against the ‘Rocks by a combined 29-10 score. In their first encounter in early May, the two teams battled to a 9-9 standoff.

With a 17-3-1 record, the Adanacs are aiming to unleash a smothering defence and ramped up attack against 12-8-1 Victoria.

The series starts Saturday, 2:30 p.m. at the Poirier Sports Centre, with Game 2 Sunday in Victoria. The two teams will meet up on July 19, 2:30 p.m. in Coquitlam for Game 3.
