CITY STAFF SPREAD FERTILIZER ON HOMELESS CAMP

John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com In a situation that reeks like the one that blew up in Abbotsford last week, officials in Port Coquitlam now find themselves having to explain why fertilizer was dumped on a homeless camp earlier this month.

Dan Scoones, the city’s manager of bylaw services, told the Tri-Cities NOW Thursday that a fertilizer similar to peat moss was spread over a spot where a homeless man had set up camp along the Coquitlam River earlier this month.

The incident, which Scoones referred to as a “total one off,” took place near the Lougheed Highway Bridge entering the city from Coquitlam.

“We’d get there, we’d move him out, and three hours later he would set up camp again,” Scoones said. “Our people just said, ‘We are at our wit’s end as to how we’re going to discourage this guy from coming back here.’”

Thursday’s allegations came to light one week after Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman publicly apologized for a decision to dump chicken CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Cottagers ask for city’s support RESIDENTS WANT PORT MOODY TO SUPPORT THEIR BID TO STAY IN REGIONAL PARK

Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com For decades, a group of residents has been living a relatively quiet existence in a set of Metro Vancouver owned cottages in Belcarra Regional Park.

But eviction notices to the residents of the seven cottages, six of which have Port Moody addresses, have the group scrambling to get support in order to stay.

On Tuesday, the group, called the Belcarra South Preservation Society, was at a Port Moody city council meeting requesting help from the politicians. The group is asking the city to write a letter to Metro Vancouver’s environment and parks committee in support of the society’s bid to preserve the cottages and small community living in them.

Andrea Ledingham, a member of the society and resident of one of the cottages, told council the group has had a lease agreement with the regional district to maintain the water system, roads and cottages for nearly four decades.

“We’ve been living peacefully under this arrangement for a long time,” she said.

In February, Metro Vancouver served the residents with an eviction notice, which would see them out by the end of August.

Ledingham explained that, in 2005, Metro Vancouver wanted to demolish the cottages and asked the group to leave, in part out of concerns for their drinking water.

LISA KING/NOW

Residents of seven cottages in Belcarra Regional Park have been asked to leave.

Eventually the district relented after the residents agreed to upgrade the water system, among other improvements to the cottages.

Ledingham said there were several reasons Metro Vancouver gave for eviction, including an interest in expanding the park and improv-

ing access to a beach nearby.

The group argued there is access to the beach, plus they don’t see a need to develop that part of the park since it sits empty all winter.

Metro Vancouver also expressed liability

concerns regarding water supply and the state of the cottages.

Ledingham noted the community has operated with a permit from the Fraser Health Authority since 2005 and has never had an issue with the drinking water.

As for the cottages, she said the residents are reluctant to do major upgrades due to the uncertainty of a six-month lease.

“The cottages are very comfortable and very livable and we’re very happy and very healthy,” Ledingham said.

The group recently met with Metro Vancouver officials, who offered some options to the residents, which were not detailed by Ledingham at the meeting.

“It looks like things are quite hopeful right now,” she said, but added the city’s support would be an extra help.

Council asked staff to look into the issue and come up with a response at a future meeting.

Though Mayor Mike Clay said the residents’ situation is unfortunate, he’s not sure what the city can really do in this case.

Though the land is in Port Moody, the park is part of Metro Vancouver and the mayor said it would be unusual for the city to override the regional district.

“We need to figure out what our position would be as the land steward,” he said.

Clay did express his hope the two sides would work out a deal.

Trio of bears in PoCo lead to more sightings JUVENILE BEARS ARE OUT FORAGING ON THEIR OWN John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com An unprecedented surge in bear sightings in PoCo is being attributed to a trio of juvenile bears that appear to be testing their newfound freedom.

Numbers released this week by the BC Conservation Officer Service point to 50 sightings in PoCo throughout May, with the majority on the city’s north side.

The recent statistics are vastly different from those of the same time period within the last two years: 16 bear sightings were noted in May 2012 and 11 in May 2011.

Drake Stephens, Coquitlam’s urban wildlife coordinator, said the majority of the sightings last month are likely tied to a fam-

ily of four bears that have been living in the Hyde Creek area for the last year.

Three of those four bears recently left their den and their mother’s side, and have been reportedly getting into residential garbage in both PoCo and Coquitlam.

“When cubs reach a year and half, they disperse from mom and go in several different directions,” Stephens said. “They also don’t have mom keeping them in line, so they’re a little bolder than the normal bear when they’re teenagers. They get themselves into places a normal bear would go into.”

Dan Scoones, PoCo’s manager of bylaw services, said the city will begin ramping up garbage bylaw enforcement efforts across all areas of the city. He noted city staff typically try to maintain a balance between written and verbal warnings versus ticketing, but the time for that balance may soon be ending.

“What the conservation people are saying now, is that they’re getting bears coming into yards in daytime hours and getting into garbage that doesn’t have the locks on,” he said.

“It’s time to really comply with the bylaw: get your cans inside or get them in yards or get the proper locks put on them.”

Residents who do not secure their bins, or who set them out before 5:30 a.m. on the day of pickup, can be fined $150. Bins can be secured inside a building or purpose-built enclosure, but if bins are stored outside, they must be secured with an approved locking device. Currently, the CritterGuard system is the only approved locking system in the city.

Meanwhile in Coquitlam, statistics point to a slight dip in bear sightings: 34 in April, 71 in May and 78 so far in June.

“I think we’re a little bit low this year. It’s been a little quieter.

But things can change quickly,” Stephens said.

Statistics dating back 10 years point to June 2005 as the high-water mark for sightings, with 190 reported in that month alone. Twenty-eight sightings in June 2009 represents the 10year low.

Availability of food sources, temperature, snow melt and the number of bears killed in the previous year can all affect those statistics, Stephens said.

Drivers lose vehicles for going over 120 km/h Jeremy DEUTSCH jdeutsch@thenownews.com A trio of drivers will be without their wheels for the next week, after learning it doesn’t pay to speed in the Tri-Cities.

Coquitlam RCMP took three drivers off the road for excessive speeding between Wednesday and Thursday, including two in just 90 minutes.

Mounties nabbed the first two drivers Wednesday evening during speed checks along the Mary Hill Bypass in Port Coquitlam.

Police alleged one driver was driving 124 km/h and the other was clocked at 129 km/h

in a 60-km/h zone.

One driver was from Pitt Meadows, while the other was from PoCo. On Thursday morning, police pulled over a Surrey driver on Lougheed Highway near Colony Farm for doing 122 km/h in a 70-km/h zone.

All three were given a $368 ticket and had their vehicle impounded for a week.

RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung suggested the speeds the drivers were travelling would make it very hard for other motorists to judge, which could lead to deadly consequences.

“If they’re not trying to hurt themselves, they’re trying to hurt other people,” he said.

These incidents come just weeks after local Mounties ran a campaign to crack down on dangerous drivers in May. Throughout the month-long campaign, local RCMP handed out a total of 1,123 tickets for various high-risk driving offenses.

“Educating the public about road safety and doing targeted enforcement on high-risk driving behaviours work hand in hand,” Chung said in a statement. “Strategic traffic enforcement has proven to be a very effective tool for enhancing road safety. Nearly half of the 1,123 charges issued to drivers were related to highrisk driving behaviours such as speeding and using an electronic device when driving.”

Police targeted high-crash locations around the Tri-Cities during the campaign.

Besides the tickets, Mounties also pulled 45 drivers off the road for drinking and driving or being on drugs behind the wheel.

Interestingly, Coquitlam RCMP note a 20per-cent decrease in crashes resulting in injuries during the first five months of this year, compared to 2012.

“It’s really straightforward, a reduction in high-risk driving behaviours correlates with a reduction in collision-related injuries,” Chung said. “We will be on the lookout for high-risk drivers throughout the year to make sure our streets are safe for everyone.”

Despite more employees at Port Moody City Hall topping the $75,000-mark in pay, the city managed to hold the line on the overall salaries in 2012 compared to the previous year.

According to remuneration figures released by the city on Tuesday, a total of 79 employees earned a salary more than $75,000 in 2012, four more than in 2011, but the overall number remained on par at $17.2 million.

Topping the list as the highest paid civil servant at city hall was general manager of financial services Paul Rockwood at $147,355.

He was followed by general manager of development services Tim Savoie, general manager of community services Ron Higo and city clerk Colleen Rhode, who each earned $146,681, $140,714 and $137,168 respectively.

Mayor Greg Moore condemned the move in an interview Thursday, adding that senior city staff are meeting with employees in an array of departments to ensure that such a move is not repeated.

“It’s completely unacceptable,” Moore said. “I made that really clear to our staff.

They won’t be doing that anymore.”

Moore said while the city doesn’t have an official policy for dismantling homeless camps, landscaping measures and additional tree cover tend

to do the trick.

He also noted the city’s homeless population has drastically decreased during the last five years, in part because of the way the city typically deals with its homeless residents.

“Over the years, our staff have worked so hard with the homeless residents that we have and worked with the service groups,” he said.

“We’ve seen an incredible decrease in homeless residents in Port Coquitlam.

We deal with them with respect.” twitter.com/johnkurucz

Rounding out the top five was fire chief Remo Faedo who took home $134,960.

City manager Kevin Ramsey earned $106,352, but was only on the job for a little more than half the year and will likely be at the top of the list next year.

Nearly half on the list of top salaries were either firefighters or involved with the fire department.

The salaries of the staff that made less than $75,000 a year added up to $9.8 million, compared to $7.4 million made by those topping the $75,000-mark.

On the political side, the collective of city councillors took home a combined $148,665 in salary in 2012, ringing up another $74,385 in tax-free allowance and $33,130 in expenses.

Last year, council rang up $19,592 in expenses.

Mayor Mike Clay earned $48,476 and another $23,994 in tax-free allowance.

Each of the councilors earned $16,698 in salary, and another $8,398 in taxfree allowance.

As for councillor expenses, Rick Glumac topped the list spending $6,108, followed by councillors Zoe Royer at $5,665, Diana Dilworth at $5,219, Bob Elliott at $4,595, Rosemary Small at $4,573 and Gerry Nuttall with $3,572.

The most frugal Council member turned out to be the mayor, who rang up $3,395 in expenses.

It should be noted salaries from the Port Moody Police Department were not included.

Police department remuneration figures were made exempt a few years back from the legislation.

Technically, the police board is considered the employer of the department and the remuneration is dealt with through the province’s solicitor general.

Scoones said the incident in PoCo took place before the one in Abbotsford, adding that a pair of factors led to the city’s decision to use fertilizer: the camp’s close proximity to Our Lady of the Assumption School and the fact that the man was asked to relocate away from the area three or four times in recent weeks.

Scoones made a point of noting that the move was used only as a “last resort.”

“This is a guy who does not want to go into shelter, resists all efforts to offer him housing and just keeps wanting to camp out,” he said. “This is not something we’re going to do again.”

Scoones noted he didn’t directly give his staffers direction to dump the fertilizer, which he estimated was spread over roughly an eightby-10 foot area.

Instead, bylaw officers and parks department employees made the decision on their own.

“Ultimately, I’m responsible for it. But I can say I didn’t

PoCo man back for second tour BACK ON THE BIKE TO CONQUER CANCER

John KURUCZ jkurucz@thenownews.com For a guy who took more than 30 years off of cycling, Norman Nelson sure decided to make a splash when he returned to the world of two wheels.

The 56-year-old Port Coquitlam resident will participate this weekend in his second straight Ride to Conquer Cancer, a nearly 200kilometretrekfromCloverdale to Redmond, Wash.

The ability to say to yourself, ‘I’ve done it,’ is great.

–Port Coquitlam’s Norman Nelson “This is my second year doing this, but before that, the last time I rode a bike was in 1975,” Nelson said. “When I was old enough to get a car, I didn’t touch a bike again.”

Spurred on by his coworkers last year, Nelson first completed the B.C. Cancer Foundation fundraiser last year alongside 17 of his coworkers.

This year, he’ll go it alone.

“I’m not worried about riding by himself — it’s pretty straight ahead,” he said. “You just keep on training, and you keep your conditioning going.”

The training routine Nelson adheres to is impressive for a person half his age, let alone someone approaching the back half of his 50s.

He tries to ride 20-kilometres a day during the week, and 60 kilometres on weekends to keep his mojo up.

It’s a regimen that Nelson was more or less forced into after first experiencing the massive ride last year.

“From the physical end of things, there was a big learning curve,” he said. “I had never done anything like that before, so some of the hills were pretty daunting. But other than that, it was a pretty good ride. The organizers looked after us, and everyone was very accepting of what we were doing.”

Like most other ride participants, Nelson has had first-hand experience with cancer. His mother suffered from leukemia, while some of his friends have battled breast cancer and other forms of the disease.

And because he is riding alone and not as part of a team, Nelson has kept his fundraising goals modest — the requisite $2,600 fee needed to enter into the ride.

Above and beyond reaching that threshold, the life-long PoCo resident is simply looking to finish the ride.

“The highlight for me was the finish line, but it wasn’t the fact that we had finished the ride, it was the people

We never expected that we would feel like we belong to a family. The studio has built a incredible community where we have established lifelong friendships that continue even when life takes them in other directions.

People notice when we are away and we miss our friends when they are away. Brian and I spend more quality time together. We both have demanding jobs and dancing is a great way to leave it all at the office. The most ironic part of all…through conversations, emails and Facebook, I now find myself encouraging other students to go out dancing several times a month with us – something I never imagined I would be doing.

Every day we thank the Arthur Murray Team for simply being who they are and providing such a great community.

You can look as great as you feel!

‘Maintenance’ fee an insult

W

hile many of our fellow citizens labouring with disabilities do very well for themselves, it’s pretty safe to say that people who require wheelchairs to get around are coming from a point of disadvantage when it comes to earning a regular income.

Consequently, extensive support systems have been put in place to help people whose disabilities make them dependent on wheelchairs, to deal with the barriers thrown in front of them.

Some of those barriers are physical, accessibility issues related to the limitations of wheelchairs, while others are societal; some people just don’t get that those among us who need our help deserve it, by dint of the fact that a disability, whether physical or otherwise, does not diminish a person’s humanity.

Many people with disabilities freely offer that their greatest barriers are those thrown up by false impressions born of ignorance.

They’re not looking for sympathy — just a bit of human understanding.

How ignorant can people be about the barriers that face the disabled?

Let’s ask the folks at Fraser Health, who decided to burden wheelchair users in their facilities with $25/month “maintenance” fees. To add insult to injury, 60 per cent of clients in affected facilities depend on wheelchairs, many donated, and not even provided by Fraser Health itself.

Let’s ask the province that passed legislation last fall to allow this travesty — that same government has now boosted its top-earning bureaucrats’ salaries, each to the tune of $35,000 per year. Just three of those raises total more than the $100,000 that Fraser Health expects to take away from its disabled clients.

It’s astounding that the one place our disabled brethren should never have to want for understanding has now thrown up yet another barrier for wheelchair users.

A truly invasive technology

T

here are some who believe that war never truly changes, and that this age of calculated slaughter we live in will never cease to exist until humanity does.

It’s true that, if stripped of the desire for war, our essence would clearly not be that of humankind. But many of us are handing over the duties of combat to remotely operated machines. What will happen to war if these machines can act, and kill, without human involvement?

Right now, fully autonomous killerrobots are nothing but sci-fi entities that many of us love to imagine stomping humanity into the dirt.

They distract us from the issues of the world.

But technological developments such as the unmanned, gun toting SGR-1, a land-based South Korean sentry built to replace soldiers in the country’s demilitarized zone, are causing concern that lethal autonomous robots (LARs) will change the structure of war in ways that would cause more destruction and spilt blood then we could possibly rationalize.

Outspoken about this concern is United Nations Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions Christof Heyns, who recently advised the Human Rights Council in Geneva to ban all LARS as they “should not have the power of life and death over human beings.”

Whether or not you agree with him, the issue of LARs is crucial to our future.

Now, I could try to convince you that my opinion on the matter is the right one.

But I could also paint you a little picture, and I think I’d rather do that.

Imagine you’re the inhabitant of a small desert village. Unbeknownst to you, it conceals a group of rebels that

MY GENERATION Kevin Funk

some people in high places want taken out of this little picture.

It doesn’t matter who; as you’re walking from the market with a hefty bag of bananas slung over your shoulder and you see a little tank-like contraption sporting two high-powered machine guns and a grenade launcher silently rolling up toward the house you’re walking past, it will bear no brand or flag.

Without warning, the robot opens fire on the house, its bullets tearing open your bag and spraying semi-liquid banana all over the side of your face.

So you run, heart pounding, fruits left to rot in the sand.

You take a left in between a house and the targeted one. As you’re approaching the gap between the walls surrounding the latter, a man with a pistol steps out, grabs you and leads you

down the passage with his gun to your head.

Turning the corner, he stops and you see why: another robot stands just a few metres away with its entire arsenal ready to rip the life from you both.

You decide what happens next. But know that while a soldier might make the split-second decision not to shoot, that LAR wasn’t programmed to be anywhere near as ethically complex as a human before the arms race dictated it be shipped off.

What’s more, the amount of collateral damage it causes can easily be influenced by apathy due to the vast emotional distance between its actions and those who sent it.

I believe that war will change for the worse if we let it.

You may not see LARs as the bringers of that change, but keep your eye on the topic regardless; technology has a way of invading people’s lives whether it benefits them or not.

LETTERS LOU SEKORA RESPONDS TO HOTEL STORY

Re: “Hotel spending triggers outrage,” Wednesday, June 5.

Setting the record straight regarding Port Coquitlam Coun.

Darrell Penner’s comments: I do not have any family or relatives in Saskatchewan. I spent time with PoCo Coun. Michael Wright at the [2012 Federation of Canadian Municipalities] convention. Coun.

Penner mentioned that he had not seen me at the convention; little did I know that I had to report to Coun. Penner.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart also mentioned that he had not seen me, although I saw him and all our council members from Coquitlam. In fact, I had coffee with various councillors throughout the convention.

Our mayor said he got $100 million for Coquitlam [by council members engaging senior levels of government over the last four years].

If there was a project in our city that needed government funding from either the federal or provincial level, it has always been our policy that we would make

an appointment with the respective government and the mayor and council members would meet with them to discuss funding.

Coun. Lou Sekora Coquitlam

OTHERS HAVE A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE ISSUE

I think it is ridiculous to criticize the mayor and councillors who stayed downtown at a hotel during their conference.

They work long days and for events like this, they often start early and go long into the evening. Recently, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart participated in a key round table meeting with the school district on social media policies and then proceeded to voluntarily spend his evening participating in the awards ceremonies at Pinetree Secondary.

He stayed for over three hours in a very hot gymnasium to award the final medals to the deserving students. He was there until well past 10 p.m. at night. I think it’s time Coun. Lou Sekora stepped aside and made way for younger, more progressive minded polit-

icians to take his place.

The fact that he is 82 years old and still drawing a salary from public funds is more of an outrage than a few nights in a hotel.

Jon Hamlin Coquitlam ••• With the current debacle of our mayor and some of our city councillors spending city funds on hotel accommodation during their attendance in Vancouver at municipal conventions, I would like to offer my support to Mr. Stewart and his team.

While those of us who are attentive to city politics can appreciate Mr. Sekora’s diligence in carefully guarding the city coffers, I certainly respect Mayor Stewart for his commitment to the best interests of the residents of Coquitlam, and I absolutely believe a great deal of productive business takes place when meetings end and the participants can socialize and discuss issues in a more personal environment.

Over the years I have attended many events in Coquitlam — ranging from DPAC meetings, where Richard Stewart regularly drops in late in the evening, to sports tournaments, where our mayor will attend early on a weekend morning. I have had occasion to e-

mail in comments or concerns to city councillors and always had a prompt response — often directly from Mr. Stewart’s smartphone within a very short time.

I have stood on a snowy sidewalk with Mr. Stewart discussing school buses and snow removal. I have had a quick response when the discussions turn (once again!) to off-leash dog regulations at Mundy Park.

I have appreciated his personal involvement in the support of funding for community capital projects, and my kids’ elementary school even enjoyed having him participate in a magic show where he risked having his head cut off!

I am writing today to say I believe the residents of Coquitlam receive excellent value from our mayor and city councillors and it is very much appreciated.

If paying for accommodation makes good business sense in order for this group to attend meetings and make connections, that is just the cost of doing business.

White Spot celebrates Local businesses are big birthday on Sunday making their mark

On Sunday, June 16, Canada’s longest-running restaurant chain will celebrate its 85th birthday.

White Spot serves more than 12 million guests each year, according to a press release, “buys more local products than any other full service restaurant chain in B.C., and has the highest average employee tenure of any Canadian restaurant chain.

Over the past year, 87 per cent of British Columbians who dined out visited White Spot.”

ly married couple who got engaged over a chocolate milkshake. Nearly 1,000 stories have been sent in from around B.C. as part of a contest the chain is running.

One of them is from Coquitlam’s Lei Allen.

“I would not be alive if it wasn’t for White Spot,” she says. “My mom met my dad at White Spot when she worked there back in the 1970s, and they had me. My grandmother also worked at White Spot with my mom, and my maiden name is ‘White.’ You could say White Spot is in my blood! It’s still my favourite burger.”

Tri-Cities company Dynamic Telehold Productions won the 2013 Silver MARCE Award at the Annual On-Hold Messaging International Conference in Nashville, Tenn.

The awards are bestowed by the International On Hold Messaging Association (OHMA).

The winning production was originally developed for Dynamic Productions’ client, Fraserway RV, according to a press release.

It’s a parody of a long-running public service campaign entitled “Hinterland Who’s Who” with which countless Canadians are familiar.

Instead of describing the habits of animals in their native habitat, the entry applied animal traits to personnel at Fraserway RV. The winning production can be heard in full by visiting the OHMA website at www.ohma. org/marces.

who is always just there, there looking over your shoulder. But nobody knows who he is anyway.

Frustrated by their parents’ tyrannical rule, they take the summer vacation as a chance to be kings — “to be our own men, boil our own water and kill our own food.” The boys build a house in the woods from scrap pieces of anything they can find — the front door is stolen from a PortaPotty.

The boys are trying to fast forward through time and become men. They desperately desire to affirmatively answer the question “Do you have what it takes to lead, provide and protect?” The warrior inside all men cries out to prove that, yes, they do. And in their attempts to prove this to themselves, Patrick, Joe and Biaggio live as men, wild and free.

I was refreshed to experience a film where men are portrayed as men, not the feminized version that the mainstream and pop-culture advocate. This latter view downplays the warrior in the man, the very thing that causes the boys to flee from the reign of their parents and attempt to make it on their own, as men.

The Kings of Summer evokes a feeling common to all males through a unique style. It’s funny and yet its examination digs deep in exploring masculinity. I came out of the film wanting to flee to a faraway forest and rule autonomously, proving to myself that I am indeed a man, capable of protecting, providing and leading. But maybe that was just my inner warrior.

Good career paths for grads Graduates who majored in fields of study that are more recession-proof than others could have a decided advantage over students who went with other majors. Knowing which careers are still going strong and which have stalled can help college students with goals of finding a career with growth potential.

• Engineers: Engineers apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop economical solutions to technical problems.

Many different fields require engineers.

• Accounting: Similar to other financial careers, accounting jobs remain stable despite the uncertain economy.

Where there is money to be spent, individu-

als and businesses will require the services of accountants.

• Nursing/medical careers: Jobs in healthcare continue to be strong as well.

• Software design and development: Keeping today’s digital world running requires a staff of people constantly updating and creating new software.

• Salespeople: Sales is one of the oldest and longest- running types of occupations available. Every industry needs quality sales professionals.

Equipment tips from the pros for young soccer stars J

ust like any sport, soccer requires equipment. So as a parent, how do you choose the right size or shape? Rhian Wilkinson, a defender on the Canadian National Women’s Soccer Team — and now an ambassador for BMO Team of the Week — knows "rst-hand how the right type of equipment can make or break your child’s game.

“It’s important to out"t your children with the proper tools to play the game correctly and be safe,” says Wilkinson. “Start them off with the right equipment at a young age so that they can grow up knowing what feels right and what equipment works best for them. Then, watch as they score goals!”

BMO — the Bank of Soccer in Canada — offers a few guidelines to get your young soccer star suited up correctly.

CLEATS: Remember that your child will be active in these cleats, so choose a pair that "ts their size right now. Picking larger

cleats is neither comfortable nor safe.

Additionally, choosing the right soccer cleats isn’t just about size. Be sure to take into consideration the type of surface on which your child will be playing (e.g. "rm ground, turf, indoor) as there are different cleats for different surfaces.

SHIN PADS: Shin pads are important for your child’s safety on the "eld, so be sure to choose wisely. Ideal shin pads will have protection for both the shin areas and the ankles. Shin pads should also be light enough to allow your child to remain agile, while still strong enough to protect them from hard physical contact. As for a size, match your child’s height with the shin pad size (refer to each brand’s sizing chart).

Register for volleyball camp “Getting Ben is a real coup for us this year,” Muro said. “He’s probably considered one of the top coaches in Canada. We’re really lucky that he’ll come in for two mornings and run a couple of sessions for us. With Bob, he’s one of our veteran coaches, but he’s very cutting edge. He’s always doing research on trends, so he’s a full-time volleyball guy.”

f nothing else, you’ll be learning from some of the very best volleyball minds not only in the Tri-Cities, but across B.C.

The Tri-Cities NOW’s annual Summer Volleyball Camp is coming up in mid-August and the list of coaching personnel is chock full of championship pedigree at almost every level possible: high school, club and post secondary.

“Over the week they get 25 hours of quality contacts and coaching,” said camp organizer Carlo Muro. “For kids that don’t play club volleyball, it’s a very good catch up.

You’re getting 25 hours of skill development with good coaching.”

Running from Aug. 19 to 23 at Riverside Secondary, the camp is open to both boys and girls entering grades 8 to 12.

Once on the !oor, those in attendance will receive tutelage from some of the best in the business: Trinity Western University men’s coach and national champion Ben Josephson; Bryan Gee, the head coach of Riverside’s senior girls program; and Bob Yuen, a long-time bench boss with more than 40 years experience.

Other coaches slated to take part include Riverside grad Jen Neilson, Wesley Webb, and Coquitlam Ducks coach Jordan Thies.

“For the "rst three days, we’re working on the basic skills: passing and digging. During the last few days we focus on team play,” Muro said.

“We’ll show them how to play a system and then they get to practise those skills in teamplay concept.”

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS FOR 1ST TIME BUYERS According to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Vancouver has the highest average rents in all of Canada, pushing first time purchasers to look for ownership alternatives in areas like the Tri-cities.

This forward-thinking generation of buyers is looking for areas where they can enjoy more space without losing walkable conveniences that come with downtown living.

MOSAIC’s FREMONT BLUE, for example, offers a true live, work, play neighbourhood – creating a unique community identity supported by a mix of amenities.

Significant incentives are now providing powerful motivations, which support BC’s first time buyers, offering them a chance to own, not rent.

According to Geoff Duyker of MOSAIC, “The biggest hurdle for most first-time homebuyers is the down payment. In response, we’re hosting MOSAIC’s 1st TIME BUYERS SALES EVENT for the month of June, where first timers can take advantage of a $10,000 rebate and a 5% down payment. This offering truly makes owning more accessible than renting.”

A visit to a MOSAIC Home Store will provide more information and insight.

TIMING IS EVERYTHING First timers can now take advantage of mortgage rates as low as 2.89%. If or when mortgage rates increase by – for example, 1% – a household making $65,000 a year will see a reduction to the mortgage amount for which they qualify by $40,000. With this anticipated reality, many will not be able to find the home they now want if they choose to wait.

These record-low mortgage rates and the corresponding purchasing power have created an opportunity to purchase a home in one of the world’s most livable regions.

In advance of the warmer weather, Fraser Health and the BC Ambulance Service are asking parents of young children to think twice before opening the window.

The public campaign aims to remind caregivers that safety latches should be properly installed on windows and that climbing hazards should be removed from areas near windows and balconies.

“It’s hard enough to tell a parent that their child has suffered severe injuries that require extensive surgery and will likely result in long-term effects,” said Dr. Iain MacPhail, program medical director or trauma for Fraser Health.“This becomes especially heart-breaking when it is the result of an avoidable accident like falling through a window or from a balcony.”

“Paramedics see the critical, and often preventable, injuries that result from falls from windows and balconies,”said Marilyn Oberg, unit chief for the BC Ambulance Service.“The best advice we can provide is to ensure you have the right safety locks on windows and doors and use them — especially if you have young children.”

Bulbs need sun, food

“My tulip bulbs haven’t bloomed for years. If they are replanted in a better location in fall, would they bloom?

Or should I just green-waste them?”

Nikki Stubbs Port Coquitlam

If they haven’t bloomed for years, they’re not likely to bloom now. The easiest thing to do is green-waste them and start over this fall with fresh bulbs planted in a sunnier and better-drained place.

But if some of the bulbs are very large and obviously healthy, you might select out these and try them in the better location for two years.

Healthy bulbs that never bloom need at least two years of sun, good food and excellent drainage before they can form embryo flowers within the bulb. These embryo flowers mature about 12 months after forming and then bloom.

“I have a large clump of Siberian Iris that should be divided. Should I do it now or wait till the fall? How do I divide them?”

Marie-Ann via e-mail You can divide Siberian irises in spring or fall. But this year, fall division would

BRANCHING OUT Anne Marrison

be better since we have a long-range forecast for a hot, dry summer. Because Siberian irises love moisture and hate heat and drought, you may need to do a lot of watering this summer to make sure they settle in well.

In fall, your irises will grow more slowly, but nature should do much of the watering for you. Just check them now and then in winter in case they have a problem with frost heaves.

My favourite way of dividing solid, matted clumps of Siberian iris roots is to use a serrated bread or freezer knife and saw my way through the clump. This is time-consuming, but useful for people whose muscles aren’t up to tearing tough roots apart. A more strenuous alternative is plunging two garden forks, back to back, into the centre of the clump and forcing them apart. Hopefully, the roots will rip apart before you do.

“When a package of vegetable seeds lists a number of days, what does that refer to? Is it days from planting the seed to when you can eat it? Is it days from transplant to when you can eat it? Is it something else?”

Joni Rabinowitz via e-mail This figure estimates the number of days from planting the seed to when you can eat it. But this is a ballpark figure, especially with warmweather vegetables such as tomatoes, squash, cucumbers and corn. That’s because the time vegetables need to mature and fruit depends on the weather. A cold, wet spring means many things will take longer than the seed packet states.

As well, figures stated for maturity of warm-weather vegetables grown on the Prairies or back east aren’t reliable at all for BC. That’s because summers are often hotter in those places. These estimates can be useful in giving you a rough idea of what to expect. But they’re not set in stone.

any doctors’ offices have a litany of posters lining their reception and examining rooms — so many in fact that the average reader would have difficulty discerning what is most important.

For this reason, I prefer to keep my posters to the essential.

here have been myriad stories about the need for children to become more active. But despite all the talk, this year’s Active Healthy Kids Canada (AHKC) Report Card found that there has been no improvement observed in the physical activity levels of children and youth (five to 17 year olds).

A mere five per cent meet the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines.

One of the big issues is the family car. Kids are being driven everywhere; 62 per cent of Canadian youth use only inactive modes of transportation to get to and from school. And yet, we say we want them to be more active.

Well, here is a simple solution. Have them walk or bike to school.

The trick is to teach them how and to encourage all the kids in the neighbourhood to travel together. Walk to the school yourself and determine the safest route. Then walk with your kids and hopefully other children from the area. As you walk, talk about how to cross the roads, the importance of staying on the sidewalks and why this is the best route to take. Then have them lead the way and you follow.

Soon they are easily able to negotiate the way themselves and they are getting exercise

twice daily.

“By driving our kids to and from their destinations, we may be robbing them of an important source of physical activity, and contributing to lifelong unhealthy habits,” says Dr. Mark Tremblay of AHKC. “Active transportation presents an easy, costeffective and environmentally friendly way to increase physical activity levels among children and youth, and its benefits are significant. In fact, if we encouraged our kids to walk for trips less than a kilometre, they could bank an additional 10 to 15 minutes of physical activity per trip!”

Another easy solution is to encourage outdoor play. I went for a walk in our local park the other day. It was a school holiday and the weather was sublime. The playground was busy. But I noticed that it was busy with toddlers and preschoolers with adult supervision.

There were no school-aged children.

The park should have been a-buzz with children and youth playing pickup softball or soccer. They should have been running, jumping and rolling. Where were they?

I have no idea but I worry that they are home, sitting in front of one screen or another while adults worry about their lack of exercise.

Open the door, show them the way to the park, give them balls or skipping ropes and let them play.

One reason we tend to drive our kids everywhere is because they have busy, active schedules and so do we.

The solution is to reconsider the schedule. Does your child need to be out every evening of the week? If you discover you haven’t had a meal at a table for two weeks, you need to re-evaluate.

Have your child choose fewer activities and there will be time for actual exercise.

They can walk home from school because they aren’t heading to soccer, baseball, dance, pottery, drama and art classes. Our children need to move, they need to be physically active and it’s up to their parents to make it happen.

A’S BERG LIGHTS IT UP Adding one more part to the arsenal is always well received.

For the Coquitlam junior Adanacs, getting Wes Berg back in uniform is a huge ‘get.’

The 20-year-old righthander made his season debut on Wednesday, leading the charge in Coquitlam’s 14-8 lashing of the PoCo Saints.

Berg, who just returned after finishing his second season at the University of Denver, cashed in five goals and four assists as the Adanacs grabbed a share of first place in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League.

“He’s gotten better since the last time I saw him [in 2010],” noted first-year A’s coach Neil Doddridge. “He’s a general, a leader and he just brings the best out of everyone on the floor.”

Just 28 seconds into the game, Berg set up Steven Neufeld for the opening goal. Berg tallied eight minutes later as Coquitlam took a 3-0 lead. Another quick start in the second saw the home team make it 8-3. Reid Reinholdt tallied once and set up seven others, while Vincent Ricci netted three goals and three assists.

The Saints got three goals from Tyler Pace.

The game was marred by a handful of fights in the third, resulting in 121 penalty minutes handed out in the final three minutes of play.

The Saints host Delta tonight (Friday), 8 p.m. at the PoCo Rec Centre, while the Adanacs visit Nanaimo for a pair of games.

KEEL OFF BY SEVEN Coquitlam’s Jisoo Keel kept it close during her two-round battle at the 2013 CN Canadian Women’s Tour stop in Cowansville, Que. Keel, 17, fired rounds of 74 and 72 to finish in a tie for seventh at the Club de Golf Cowansville. She placed seven strokes back of champion Jennifer Kirby of Ontario.

On the first day, Keel posted three bogies and a double-bogey to finish two-over par.

She followed that with four birdies on her second round to shoot par.

The Gleneagle Secondary student battled Team Canada teammate Brooke Henderson last month in a gripping showdown, with the Ontario teen winning the CN Future Links Pacific championships by a single stroke.

METRO-FORD TAXED Their cross-border excursion ended up costing them a tough tariff.

The Coquitlam Metro-Ford men’s premier soccer team faced first-place Bellingham on the weekend, falling by a sticky 2-1 score.

On Wednesday, the Americans did it again by an identical tally — and bumping MetroFord into fourth place in the Pacific Coast Premier Soccer League.

“Man, do they have an amazing atmosphere [in Bellingham],” remarked playing assistant coach Russel Huggon, estimating the crowd to be nearly 1,000-large. “I haven’t seen anything like it since I played in Europe.”

For Gail Sayers, the shoe will be on the other foot following her final day later this month in her role as an instructor.

The long-time Port Moody Secondary teacher is preparing to pack up her belongings and embrace retirement after 33 years in the district.

“It feels good,” Sayers said of the approaching lifestyle change. “A number of people have said to me that my smile has never been bigger.”

In a well-planned decision, Sayers’ husband Mike, who teaches English and Spanish at Pinetree, is also retiring.

well outlast the bad. The changes that have altered her role haven’t reduced the joy in seeing someone thrive and take a piece of knowledge and make it a driving motivation.

“Kids, for the most part, are still extremely positive. They are excited to go to school, happy to interact with their peers and the teachers, to socialize. In the old days, physical education meant we were coaches first and teachers second, but now I think the role has evolved positively to teaching fitness and health and put that first, which is a passion for me.”

Five years ago, following the death of her mother, the Sayers made a bold decision to leave home for a year-long journey that took them to the Galapagos, up the Amazon and over to France.

With sons Dylan and Justin in tow, the Sayers took home — and school — on the road as they adventured in small villages along the Amazon and in crowded Paris.

“Instead of comparing how things are at home we just embraced every new experience,” she recalled. “We went up the Amazon and stayed in a little village, we saw an anaconda and the kids fished for piranhas, we visited the Galapagos [Islands]… It was fantastic.”

The road and trails became the classroom, which was a great educator for the Sayers clan — with teachers becoming students again.

When it came to choosing this profession, she notes it seemed to be her calling early on.

“I wanted to be a teacher even before I started school, [I’m] not sure why,” Sayers

noted. “My dad even built a wooden stand and mounted a small blackboard, so I could play school with my brother and my friends. I was always the teacher for some reason.”

Fellow teacher Alex Devlin can believe it — and he adds that her retirement will create a void at the school.

“I would have to say Gail is an exceptionally gifted teacher, a person who makes connections at a personal level. She’s been a real strong role model for females here at school, and I don’t think it happens everyday that you meet a person so excited and inspiring.”

Although she leaves behind the daily structure and routines and many youthful faces that come with each year, Sayers said she eagerly is looking forward to expanding her circle by re-engaging with those coworkers who have transitioned into a life after school.

“I still plan on having contact with people here, who were awesome to work with,” she said. “But I’ll now have time and new people, some whom I worked with before, who have found new things to keep them busy.”
