Federal budget, take 2 Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com
the Stanley Cup, I’m going to be able to now take that extra money that’s going to the bottom line and put that back in to the business: new flooring, new carpeting, new tables and chairs and other things like that. It’s exciting,” she said. That same type of hooch-induced fever is being reported at Port Coquitlam’s Cat and Fiddle Sports Bar and Grill, where game-day increases in the area of 15 to 20 per cent are becoming the norm. “Pretty much every single table in here is full. [The playoffs] started off really busy, but it seems like every game is getting more busy now,” said bartender Chris Johnson. Staffing needs at the Cat and Fiddle are similar to those in Port Moody, as some of the worker bees have seen their hours jump by up to 50 per cent. But according to Johnson, those staffers aren’t burning out.
It seemed like a déjà vu Monday when finance minister Jim Flaherty reintroduced a federal budget that closely mirrored the pre-election version. For Conservative MP James Moore (Port MoodyWestwood-Port Coquitlam), that’s a good thing. Moore said the 2011 federal budget brings the same benefits to the Tri-Cities as it does to the rest of the country. “We’ve done what we promised we would. We kept our word,” Moore said. “We promised if we were re-elected that we would reintroduce the budget we had tabled in March and that’s what we’ve done.” Moore said the budget includes the largest guaranteed income supplement (GIS) increase in 25 years for seniors who are at risk of experiencing financial difficulties. This could provide an additional $600 per year for single seniors and $840 for couples. He also noted that TriCities residents will see benefits through increased healthcare funding. “In my riding, the largest employer is Eagle Ridge Hospital. We know that our health-care system is near and dear to all of us in terms of our social safety net and our sense of community identity,” Moore said. “So we’re increasing funding for health care and we’re also making sure that we’re on track to balance the budget by 2015.” Further, Moore lauded the new 15-per-cent children’s arts credit, which can be

No tears in pubs’ playoff beers
Licensed establishments see a boon in business while Canucks on cup run John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com Monday’s 8-1 drubbing aside, Tri-Cities pub owners and bar staff are riding the coattails of the Vancouver Canucks’ Stanley Cup quest all the way to the bank. Pubs in each of the three cities are seeing up to tenfold increases in sales and attendance as the Canucks pursue their first post-season championship in 40 years. The numbers tip the scales particularly at Port Moody’s Golden Spike Pub. Managing partner Cheryl Semenuik said she has seen business double and triple on game nights. However, when comparing a non-game night in January versus Monday’s clash in Boston, she said liquor sales and attendance numbers jump by 80 to 100 per cent. “My staff does better, the cab companies do bet-
ter, my food supply companies are doing better,” she said Monday. “It impacts not just the hospitality industry, it impacts so many other sectors.” Semenuik noted that on a typical Monday in January, she would have had one bartender and one server on staff. For Monday’s Game 3 tilt, she had three bartenders working, on top of six servers and a security guard. “It’s more shifts for staff, more gratuities for staff and that’s nice to have now because typically when the nice weather comes, business kind of falls off a little bit — you don’t have people coming in until once the sun has gone down. Typically the time between 4 and 10 p.m. would be quite quiet, so the 5 o’clock games have been a nice filler,” she said. That influx of cash also helps the future of her business, as Semenuik usually budgets for two rounds of playoff revenue when she’s preparing the books each November. “Now that they’ve gone those extra rounds and to

2010/2011 COMMUNITY REPORT REPORT ON POVERT Y RELIEF
Christmas Spirit The Contents of a Food Hamper that a family of 4 to 5 will receive once every two weeks. How long do you think it will last?
VOLUNTEERS
1,860 volunteers gave 49,702.5 hours. This is equivalent to 31 full time jobs. We strengthen families and communities together. Thank you! BRIDGES
◗ Provided 41 people who are unable to work find meaningful ways to connect with their community to improve their quality of life
LEGAL ADVOCACY
◗ 539 people received support from a legal advocate helping primarily with accessing financial supports and addressing landlord/tenant problems
CHRISTMAS
◗ 1,773 households received a Christmas Hamper serving 4,887 people including 2,220 children ◗ 1,722 children received a toy
FOOD BANK
◗ 2,859 households (8,634 individuals) received food from the Food Bank. 47% are children 18 years or younger.This represents an increase of 6%. 4.4% of clients who attended a Food Bank in March said they were homeless. ◗ 20,656 hampers were distributed representing approximately 249,866lbs of food, an increase of 14,670lbs over the previous year. The practice across Canada is to value each pound of food at $2 which would mean the total value of food donated was just under $500,000. A price check of our hampers at the local grocery store sets an estimated value of $722,420.
HOUSING
◗ SHARE operates 248 units of non-market housing on 4 sites, providing homes to 59 preschoolers, 107 children aged 6 – 12, 85 youth 266 adults and 64 seniors for a total of 581 people. `
2402 St. John’s St. Port Moody The SHARE Thrift Store accepts donations of gently used clothing, jewellery and light household items for sale. Revenue from the store helps to fund SHARE.
604.931.5510 SHOPPING HOURS: MONDAY TO SATURDAY 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM; SUNDAY 12 – 4 PM
It was a perfect storm. Throughout last Fall the SHARE Food Bank had only about two weeks of food on the shelves at any given time. It wasn’t that donations were down. It was because there were more people needing food relief and the food donations couldn’t keep pace. When it came time to pack the Christmas Hampers there wasn’t enough food to supplement our food purchase to give our families a substantive Christmas Hamper. The Christmas Hamper has two purposes, to make sure a family has a good Christmas meal and to help them stretch over the three week period between Food Bank days. There wasn’t enough food in the Food Bank to achieve either of those goals. The call went out, the media rallied and our community responded. Global TV, CKNW, CBC, CTV, Vancouver Sun and our two local papers put the word out and on one Wednesday evening at the Save on Foods on Pinetree, two cube trucks were filled with food. “For us, Christmas happened that night. Says Heather Scott, Director of Development “12 days before Christmas the community made sure that 1,700 families and over 2,200 children in our community had food.” Hundreds or thousands of people respond to the call for help. They arrived with their cars loaded and grocery buggies full. From children to seniors and every age in between, and every ability and nationality responded. Thank you.

More than $647,000 raised Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com Celebrate. Remember. Fight back. These inspirational ideas form the foundation of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in Coquitlam Saturday. On June 4, teams of up to 15 people walked or ran laps around a track for 12 or more hours. Participants were able to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer and fight back for a future without cancer. In Coquitlam, 112 teams soaked up the sun at Percy Perry Stadium while 1,023 participants trod the track to raise money and awareness for the cause. Preliminary totals show that local teams raised $647,000, with more to come. Local run co-ordinator Audrey McCulloch said the Tri-Cities event also drew 120
survivors, 87 registered caregivers and 136 volunteers. “The event was fantastic. It was very, very, very rewarding to see so many people come out despite the Canucks game,” McCulloch said. “It was a gorgeous day. We couldn’t have asked for anything better as far as weather goes.” During the luminary ceremony, nearly 1,100 candles glowed around the track to
honour cancer survivors as well as those who have lost their battle with the disease. The Canadian Cancer Society uses the money to fund cancer research and to provide cancer information and support programs in communities. Donations can still be made through participants or through the Coquitlam Relay for Life website at visit www. relaybc.ca/coquitlam.

applied to up to $500 of eligible arts, recreational or cultural activities. “Allowing families and parents to deduct the cost of enrolling their kids into arts programs is something that we’ll see long-term benefits of for those kids, for the economy and for our society,” he said. Moore added a volunteer firefighter tax credit will benefit volunteer firefighters working out of Sasamat and elsewhere in the Tri-Cities. Meanwhile, NDP MP Fin Donnelly (New Westminster-Coquitlam) said the budget subsidizes corporations instead of providing services for the majority of Canadians. “It chooses corporate tax cuts over affordability. For the average Canadian — whether it’s the working families, working people or those less fortunate to find themselves without a job — this budget does not help them,” Donnelly said. “There’s a lot in tax cuts, and that helps those that have the money, that have the
wealth. That’s helpful, but for those that don’t have the money, that don’t have the wealth. There’s nothing there for them.” Donnelly said the budget favours corporate tax cuts over front-line health workers and seniors living in poverty. The increase to the GIS is a “half-measure,” he said. “You could make a difference in seniors poverty in this country with the stroke of a pen. Why not address that issue?” he asked. “Why is it acceptable that we have seniors living in poverty in this country, seniors that have made this country what it is? They have built this country. They have provided so much.” However, Donnelly does like to see the return of eco-energy retrofit grants to offset costs of making homes more energy efficient. “That is a very positive program and a muchneeded program, so definitely kudos to them for bringing that program back,” Donnelly said. “We really need a concerted effort and focused effort on tackling climate change. It does help and it would be very popular if they expanded on that.”
Games get patrons in the spirit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.
“No, not at all. They love it. The bartenders and servers look forward to the busier nights — Ultimate Fighting Championship nights and big hockey games — all the time. It’s busier now than when we showed the Olympic gold medal game here last year,” he said.
It’s the same scenario at Coquitlam’s Charlie Hamiltons Pub, where manager Tej Bansal suggests “business is much better” when compared to the regular season. “When there’s no game, we’ve got a normal-sized crowd,” he said. “Now, for the game nights people are coming down just for the games
with their jerseys on and they are in a happy mood.” Like at the Cat and Fiddle, Bansal has seen a 15 to 20 per cent increase in both attendance and sales at his outlet in Henderson Place Mall. Throwing in some incentive doesn’t hurt either. “When the Canucks score we have beers on for $1 — everybody’s happy,” he said.

Apartment residents evacuated, no return date set John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com It took a full complement of firefighters to contain an apartment blaze in west Port Coquitlam Thursday night. Port Coquitlam Fire and Emergency Services were called to a three-storey apartment at 2232 Atkins Ave. just shy of 10 p.m. on Thursday, on a report of a blaze that completely destroyed a top-floor suite and forced the evacuation of the entire building. Deputy fire chief Alan Nicholson said that of the three occupants in the suite, one woman suffered minor burns to her hand while trying to rescue her cat. Outside of that incident, no other injuries were reported. “The crews managed to contain it to one suite, which was totally destroyed,” he said. “There’s smoke damage to the other floors, slight water damage next to the one that is gone and water damage to the two floors below also.” All three engine companies on staff were required to contain the fire, on top of an additional engine company and rescue truck. All told, 24 firefighters were called to the fire, which was put out at approximately 11:40 p.m. Although no definitive cause is known,
Nicholson said the preliminary investigation points to candles not being properly extinguished in one of the rooms in the suite. “It was an incredibly hot, stubborn fire,” he said. “Crews had trouble actually making entry into the end of the suite that was involved due to the intensity of the fire in that one room.” All residents of the apartment complex were evacuated and were temporarily put up in local hotels by the city’s emergency social services department. As of Monday, Nicholson said he could not put a timeline on when the residents would be allowed back into the building. “Some might be able to go back, but I can’t say when,” Nicholson said. “That’s up to the building owner to get it cleaned up.” Fast forward two days, and PoCo fire crews were called out again to a fire — this time at 471 Laurier Ave. at 10:15 p.m. Saturday. Nicholson said the basement suite occupants reported a fire on the upper level of the home where a barbecue was located. “When they arrived they found a fire in the back of the building on the balcony,” he said. “There was extensive damage to the deck and minor break through in to the living room area.” Ten firefighters were dispatched, and the fire was contained in 20 minutes. No injuries were reported.

Port Moody Canucks fan gets a really early start S
ome people choose the Canucks late in life, managing to ride out the ups and downs but still faithful fans. Some picked up on the fever early as schoolmates talked about the game. And others, well, they’re born to love Vancouver. That’s how it works in the St. Jean family in Port Moody, who swear the Canucks are part of their DNA. Erin St. Jean was about as pregnant as you can get in April, and feeling a bit tense as her favourite team made its way to the finals. Stress isn’t good for mommies-to-be, so husband Sean lightened the mood by embracing an unusual canvas. “In order to release some tension during one stressful playoff game in April, my artistic husband Sean painted my nine-month pregnant belly with the Canucks logo,” Erin wrote to The NOW. “My daughter Andrea was born a few days later, and is destined to be a Canucks fan.
Erin St. Jean has more to show than just nine months of gestational growth. Her husband, Sean, marked their daughter, Andrea, as a Canucks fan in utero. Submitted photo

ast Friday marked the deadline for providing feedback to the federal government’s regulatory Cooperation Council on the Canada-U.S. shared vision for perimeter security. Canadians should be paying attention, given the contents of a leaked 2005 U.S. diplomatic cable posted on WikiLeaks this week. The cable discusses the “North American Initiative” — the integration of North America’s economies — and suggests one of the main advantages to Canada of “integration” would be easier access to the U.S. border. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and President Barack Obama announced a joint border security initiative on Feb. 4. On the face of it, a plan to increase co-operation in the areas of addressing threats early, trade facilitation, economic growth and jobs, integrated cross-border law enforcement, critical infrastructure and cyber security sounds almost as good as motherhood and maple syrup. But one unanswered question remains: Just whose perimeter security and economic competitiveness are we protecting? Three of four “areas of vision” add up to a jointly operated border. Who will call the shots here? As for trade facilitation, economic growth and jobs, the government’s website is full of non-specifics like “we intend to look for opportunities,” while promising an enhancement of risk-management practices. Clearly we are assuaging U.S. paranoia here. But where does the road to “integration” stop?

Dix keeps insisting Clark is some far-right-wing demon, hell-bent on helping business at every turn (although a number of her policies, such as raising the minimum wage, hardly fit that description). And Clark is determined to paint Dix as some kind of hard-line leftist (although she plucked one of Dix’s policies — raising corporate taxes, which until she did was supposed by some kind of evil lefty idea) who will wreck the economy. Throw in the NDP’s dark mutterings about Clark’s supposed link to the B.C. Rail scandal and the Liberals’ penchant of reminding everyone that Dix once falsified a memo in the middle of a police investigation of his former boss, and the stage is set for a bitter, personal, knock-down fight come the next election. The two leaders’ personalities, styles and philosophies have ensured B.C. is moving back to a deeply polarized electorate. The politics of inclusion are gone — while the politics of divisiveness are upon us once again. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

What’s not to love about Port Moody love locks? Re: “Port Moody council smitten with love locks idea,” Wednesday, June 1. People love Port Moody without a doubt. It is a city that, at its heart, is a city of affinity and affection; and lo, and behold, with the allure of the possibility of love locks, it can become a very model of a romantic city. How sweet of George and Linda to bring to the municipal authorities the beauty and benefits of suggesting that the coastal staidness of Rocky Point Park could be changed into the rollicking rhythms of romance and rhapsody. No longer will people have to travel to distant off-shore European hideaways or Hawaiian casinos or even San Lucas beaches to lock symbolically their relationship of love. The act of padlocking one’s commitment could be done without the cost of jetting off to a faraway place and in turn could support economic development with local locksmith vendors. Couples would not need to throw away the key into distant seascapes, but could drop the key into the local saltchuck (with a prayer for longevity, of course) or into a locked box for safe keeping in the city’s archives. How much fun could be generated with the city’s promotion of local tourism and cultural arts. The possibilities are endless and could only be bound by lack of imagination, ingenuity or innovation. Imagine how much the city could save in costs by encouraging couples to transform local chain-link fences around schools, playgrounds or construction sites. Currently, they are so boring, drowsy and weary-looking. They lack any enthusiasm and excitement. Imagine, too, how those fences could provide a glorious spark with love locks into a rhapsodic anthem of visual enlightenment,
perhaps even gracious enchantment, to say nothing of the promotion of whoopee. How much fun and delight could be generated (between the celebratory festivals of community get-togethers) with love locks throughout the city wherever chain-link fences are currently just waiting for the enhancement of lockable commitments. The clicks of closure would resound along the trails throughout the city and echo along the tidal flats of the shoreline. The City of Port Moody is indeed not only a city of romance, but also it is a city of funambulism. David Spence Port Moody •••

Community papers part of ‘glue’ keeping us together As I read through both of our local community papers this evening, it occurs to me just how much I enjoy having this luxury. I think we sometimes take for granted the privilege of access to: current local news, announcements of events, stories about people in our community, requests for assistance, thank-yous for good deeds, providing awareness and details about neighbourhood issues and more. Not only do members of the area use the newspaper as a source of information, but also as a venue to share their own views or information. What a great service. Community newspapers such as Editor ours seem to provide some of the “glue” that helps us to live together, rather than in isolation. Jennie Boulanger Coquitlam

To The Ah Port Moody, the City of the Arts and romance. I do love my city and I’m all for celebrating love, having been married for close to 20 years now. I do have a couple of questions regarding the love padlocks. What happens when the romance is over and the lovers either break up or divorce? Does the city insist they remove their lock or do the lovers get to hang multiple locks as they make their way on the love highway? Does the city insist that they get rust-proof locks or will we be looking at a bunch of unsightly hanging appendages? Instead of erecting a love-lock rail at picturesque Rocky Point Pier, why not use the existing fencing surrounding the tennis courts? That way lovers can stroll through the park, and council can fondly look down at their own creation when they meet in the Brovold Room. Rosemary Small Port Moody

Austin plans not a surprise Re: “Opposition towers over proposal,” Wednesday, June 1. There is a near-universal consensus that the Austin Heights commercial core is in dire need of revitalization. So like many Coquitlam councillors, staff members and area residents, I too was astounded by the level of opposition to the Beedie Group’s tower proposal on Austin. To make clear just what this revitalization entails, the Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan — the creation of which involved dozens of open houses, input sessions, public hearings etc., and was ultimately unanimously approved by council and lauded by the community —
refers to the neighbourhood centre (in which the proposal is located) as high-density no less than six times, features highrises in seven photographs and artist impressions, and calls for a two- to four-storey streetwall punctuated by a series of towers along Austin. It is simply inconceivable that anyone could interpret this as meaning anything other than height and density. As Coun. Brent Asmundson said, without the levels of density proposed in this project and called for by the plan, developers simply will not be interested and thus the entire process will stall. This proposal is a resounding vote of confidence in an area overlooked for the past two decades; to reject it would be to reject more than just a tower, but the entire notion of a refreshed, renewed and revitalized Austin Heights.

Students shape tomorrow’s soundscape Art Matters studies music appreciation among youth John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com
T
he name seems simple enough, but the implications aren’t. Thirteen students from Minnekhada Middle School are currently winding down the last legs of a Simon Fraser University-led study called Arts Matters, a wide-ranging exercise that examines what art means to youth and how young people access the arts. From there, the study attempts to examine how young people foster an appreciation for the arts later on in life, and the lessons learned from the project will be applied to music-based curricula in the future. The study comes by way of an SFU faculty of education research project dubbed RYME, which is short for Research for Youth, Music and Education. For the past eight weeks, researchers, students and professors from SFU have led Grade 7 and 8 students from David Erickson’s music class at Minnekhada through a series of group projects intended to answer questions from a strictly youth-driven perspective. “We are really looking at young peoples’ musical worlds as they describe them,” said Susan O’Neill, an associate professor with SFU’s faculty of education, who’s helping to head up the study. “The importance of those worlds with the fast-pace changes in technology and more access to affordable technology leads to young people doing more and more sophisticated things now with music outside of school. So that changes how they’re thinking about music, how they’re learning it and how they’re playing, so that impacts on how we educate them in any type of school.” One of the projects that Erickson’s class took on saw two dancers examining how to make a go of it in the world of dance specifically. The duo created a video set to the music of Boston’s “Don’t Stop Believing” to carry their message of continually working towards progress regardless of the barriers. Another group interviewed a local Port Coquitlam rock band and asked the band mem-

bers questions about musical chemistry, tips for longevity and songwriting advice. Yet another one of Erickson’s groups got down to the brass tacks of the whole exercise — they simply went around interviewing teachers, parents and other adults about why music matters to them specifically. “It was all student led,” Erickson said. “It was to try and get those burning type of questions out there — asking questions about the students’ future in the arts, and how they felt about that future. It was about figuring out how to get the access to the things that they’re truly interested in.” Through the eight weeks worth of work, researchers from SFU would liaise with kids during those group sessions and acted in a facilitator-type role to keep the ideas flowing

switched.” Though the program is winding down, the point of the whole exercise will come full circle next Monday, when Erickson’s students will travel to SFU to present their videos and other projects to the SFU team of researchers. It’s at that point where the roles will be reversed, and the Minnekhada students will turn their attention to the SFU students and faculty members to figure out what makes them tick when it comes to the world of arts. “One of the things that we found in our early research is that the No. 1 factor that keeps kids interested in music and the benefits that they see most clearly all derive from a sense of valuing music — it’s important in their lives, they can express themselves and it attracts their interests,” O’Neill said.

without attempting to shape those ideas. “It is their last chance in middle school to feel like they have an actual opportunity to get hooked into music and maybe choose it as a class when they get to high school,” Erickson said. “But if they don’t, it might lead to a memory somewhere down the road of having a memory that they enjoyed it and taking it up as a young adult.” The method of research used for the project is referred to as youth-led participatory action research. “It was really very special. When they first came in, they weren’t used to this youth-led approach in the classes — it’s quite different for them,” O’Neill said. “You have to leave room and space and just keep encouraging them.

ASK THE EXPERTS...
Dear Shirley, My wife & I are ready to start looking at purchasing our first home. When should we start the mortgage process? Jason & Shannon Dear Jason & Shannon, The best time to look for a mortgage is before you look for a house. This enables you to determine the amount of money you can borrow and how much house you can afford. A pre-approved mortgage provides an interest rate guarantee from a lender for a specified period of time (usually 60 to 90 days) and for a set amount of money. The pre-approval is calculated based on information provided by you and is generally subject to certain conditions being met before the mortgage is finalized. Conditions would usually be things like ‘written employment and income confirmation,’ and ‘down payment from your own resources,’ for example. Most successful real estate professionals will want to ensure you have a pre-approved mortgage in place before they take you out looking for a home. This is to ensure that they are showing you property within your affordable price range. In summary, a pre-approved mortgage is one of the first steps a home buyer should take before beginning the buying process. If you have any question or concerns, please email me at: shirleybrown@shaw.ca The more informed you are, the happier you’ll be with your purchase.

Q.I have been living common law with my girlfriend for six months. Are we now entitled to half of each other’s assets?
A. Under British Columbia’s current family law system, people who live common
law are not automatically entitled to share in each other’s assets upon breakdown of their relationship. You are only automatically entitled to a share of each other’s assets if you marry. In our Province, you are only “common law spouses” for family law purposes if you live together for two continuous years or more in a relationship resembling marriage. Whether you are common law or not, your right to share in your girlfriend’s assets depends on whether you made a contribution of some sort to assets in her name. If you have made a direct contribution and she has benefited from that, you may be entitled to reimbursement or to a share of her property. The amount a person is entitled to is different in each case and depends upon the specific facts relating to the “contribution”, how the other person benefited, and whether you also benefited financially from the relationship. There are now particular legal consequences which arise if there is any form of agreement such as a Cohabitation Agreement. The Government is considering changing the law in this area and legal advice is strongly advised before entering into a common-law relationship or any agreement relating to support, division of assets, or other matters arising from a relationship resembling marriage. If your relationship ends and you and your girlfriend do not agree about your entitlement to assets in each other’s names, you may have to apply to court to have a judge determine what is fair in the circumstances.

VETERINARY Catfight Wound Infections
Cats are territorial animals and when they come into contact with other cats they will often defend their territory by biting. Bite wounds are usually found in the tail root area, face, legs, back, neck and shoulder area. These wounds often become infected and if left untreated may result in serious consequences. Abscess: When a cat bites, their canine teeth puncture the skin and transfer bacteria. Wounds close over quickly trapping the bacteria under D r. N e n a d K a r l i , the skin, and without oxygen they multiply rapidly causing infection. It can DVM & Assoc. take up to 14 days for clinical signs to develop which includes swelling and localized pain of the affected area accompanied by a high fever, lack of appetite and lethargy. Pockets of puss will usually form under the skin and treatment often requires a surgical incision with drainage. Antibiotics and pain medication will be prescribed and healing takes 7 to 14 days. Cellulitis: When a bite wound occurs where skin is tight infection can spread through soft tissue in a diffuse pattern. Cellulitis is sometimes difficult to diagnose since there is no swelling but it is very painful, is often accompanied by fever and if bites are on legs or paw area, limping often occurs. Cellulitis requires aggressive antibiotic treatment and pain control and healing takes 7 to 14 days. Contagious Diseases: Cat saliva can also contain viruses that spread through bite wounds. These viruses include feline leukemia virus (FeLV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), and rabies. None of these viruses are treatable so please make sure your cat is vaccinated and tested for these viruses. Caution: Pus like discharge from abscesses may cause infection to humans so please thoroughly wash your hands after handling infected cats. If you get bitten by a cat (or any other animals) please contact your physician right away.

Laser Light Therapy Can laser light therapy help my arthritic hands? They ache whenever I use them. I am having trouble opening jars, chopping food and doing up my buttons Yes, painful joints in the hands due to arthritis can be helped with laser light therapy. Arthritis is an inflammatory condition that affects the cartilage that covers the ends of bones. As the cartilage wears away, bare bone is exposed. Without this protective coating of cartilage the bones do not glide over each other easily, resulting in painful, stiff movement. The symptoms of arthritis include pain during activity, stiffness, swelling, and a loss of grip strength . Laser light therapy is able to quickly reduce the pain and swelling which results in rapid improvement of joint mobility and a decrease in stiffness. Many of our patients are able to resume more activities using their hands, close their fists without pain, enjoy pain free sleep again, and reduce or eliminate their use of pain medications after laser light therapy. This non-toxic, non-invasive, safe treatment is rapidly becoming the treatment of choice for arthritis affecting not only the hands, but all painful joints including the feet, shoulders, knees, backs and necks.
BEGIN laser therapy immediately to help prevent chronic injuries. DON’T assume that an injury will go away on its own. Often therapeutic assistance is required. ACUTE and chronic injuries can both be treated successfully with Laser Therapy. IT’S BETTER to eliminate the cause of your pain than to momentarily medicate the symptom. DON’T ignore the pain. It’s your body’s signal that something is wrong and that you should find a solution. Laser therapy may be that solution for you. Based on the genetic makeup of the cells, an individual’s response to Laser Therapy will vary to some degree.

Serving Coquitlam-TriCities, Maple Ridge & New Westminster Question: My daughter didn’t finish the school year as strongly as I had hoped. Should I wait until September or should I do something over the summer? Answer: Many parents don’t know that kids experience a phenomenon called “summer learning loss”. Essentially, they forget much of what they learned in the previous school year over the summer months. In fact, studies have shown that kids lose an average of over two and a half months worth of math skills in the summertime. For kids that were already struggling in math, this means that they will start off the next school year even further disadvantaged. And it’s not just math. Overall, kids lose an average of 1 month of learning in other subjects during the summer. Think of athletes. Imagine if they stopped training for 2-3 months in the year. You would expect that when they return to their sport, that they would experience a lag in performance. The brain is no different. It needs to be exercised. So how can you keep your kids learning over the summer? Here are a few ideas. • Use educational workbooks. These are available at most bookstores, and geared towards different grades. Have your child do an hour each day. • Visit a library. Find some books with topics that interest your child so that they are really engaged in reading. • Visit museums, zoos and historical sites. Help your child learn about history and the world they live in. • Involve a qualified tutor or an academic coach to provide personal instruction and skill building

ORTHODONTICS What are the benefits to orthodontic treatment? To begin with, orthodontics will give you a more beautiful smile. In addition to the improved esthetics, most patients feel more confident and a higher self esteem. Equally important is the fact that orthodontic treatment makes it easier to improve and maintain proper oral health, and improves jaw and teeth function. Without orthodontic treatment, malocclusion may cause tooth decay, gum disease, bone deterioration, tooth loss, difficulty chewing, or speech impairment.

“Frustrated Contractor ‘Giving Away’ $4946.00 Furnaces for $1181 with Off-Season Central Air ...” (“This is the Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” ... especially if your furnace is over 8 years old) Dear Friend I’m about to make you a deal that’s hard to refuse if you’ve got an “older” (and probably less than optimally efficient) furnace. I’ll replace your old furnace AND heat pump as a “package deal” for at least $3136.00 less than you would pay any other time of the year. Sound too good to be true? It’s not and here’s why. I’m making you what sounds like an unbelievable offer because it actually makes good sense for my business. And you come out a winner, as well! You see, I know from experience that in my slowest months I actually end up losing money ... then I have to spend the rest of the year trying to make up for it. Right now, I have no reason to believe 2011 will be any different.
with the manufacturer, and then committing to buying 56 systems outright, I got BOTH the furnace AND the heat pump at a price that would have made Sam Walton proud. This means when you buy one of these 56 new, premium-quality heat pumps I will “give” you the furnace and ask you to pay only the $1181 in labor it costs to install your furnace. Pick up your phone right now Simply call me at 946-1000 at anytime so I can come out and measure your home (to see if I’ve got the proper size unit). Remember ... I’ve got only 56 matched systems in 3 sizes so you’ll want to let me know VERY SOON that you’re interested. When these 56 systems are gone, they’re gone, and this offer is null and void. Call me right now so we can get the ball rolling!
That’s why I’ve decided to give up trying to make a profit during these months and minimize my losses ... so I can come out ahead the rest of the year.
As part of the deal, I’ll show you how much the heat pump costs ... how much the furnace WOULD have cost ... and your savings when you buy your new heat pump and furnace as part of this special offer. The price I show you will include all installation materials and labor. There’s no fine print, nothing left out.
So here’s how I can make the incredible offer at the top of this letter.
Earlier I said that making you this amazing offer is also good business for me
Every year the biggie furnace manufacturers guesstimate how many furnaces to produce. Since there’s no way of knowing what the weather will be like and other factors that affect sales, these guys always have leftover inventory they have to hold onto until the next heating season.
The way I look at it, by letting YOU win big now, I’ll win at the end of the year. And I won’t have to “make up” for the lost sales during my slowest months.
I saw a great business opportunity in this and went to one of these biggie companies (they won’t allow me to use their name in this letter) and contracted for the purchase of 56 of these furnaces that were going to just be sitting around. Plus, I bought 56 heat pumps all in the 3 most popular sizes used in Lower Mainland homes. Because of the number I bought and the time of year I purchased them, I got an unbelievable deal ... rock-bottom prices. Don’t get me wrong - these are brand-new, top quality, 2011 models. Not “seconds.” Not “blems.” Not builder-grade. These are premium furnaces and heat pumps fresh from a name-brand factory with a full factory warranty. How to Get Your Name Brand Furnace for Virtually Nothing By putting together this furnace-plus-heat pump package (I call it the “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century”), going through some heavy negotiations
I figure if I make you an absolutely irresistible offer .. if your furnace is pushing 8 years or more ... and if I barely mark up the price I paid, I’ll accomplish 2 major objectives that will allow me to reduce my losses the rest of the year. I’ll be able to ... • Pay my overhead (rent, utilities, insurance and taxes) during the slow period • Keep my service & installation technicians busy enough to pay them to work instead of sit at home. As you can see, when you take me up on my “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century,” EVERYONE IS A WINNER! And by the way, there’s no obligation when you have me come out to measure your house and explain the installation If you decide you don’t want to take advantage of this incredible deal (although I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to save this kind of money), it’s no problem. You’re not obligated in any way. In fact, just for taking time to read this letter and having me out to survey your house ... I’ll give you a Very Special Free Gift Coupon ($50 value). Why? Even if we don’t do
business together now, I want you to remember us in the future. If you’re thinking a new furnace (& heat pump) isn’t in your budget - don’t worry! You don’t have to pay me right now Because I’ve tried to think of every reason possible why you WOULDN’T take me up on this spectacular offer, I’ve even made arrangements for a super bank rate financing plan. And I’m not “marking up” the interest rate like so many other companies do. While I can’t promise you this, it’s possible that with this financing plan your monthly investments in a new system could be more than paid for by the savings you see on your monthly utility bills. My Disappointment-Proof Guarantee Talking about lower utility bills, I’m so sure you’ll see at least a 25% cut in your heating and cooling bills (in reality, it may be more like 35%+), if you don’t I’ll pay you twice the difference for 2 years. Not only are you getting a new, first-quality furance virtually free, plus a first-quality heat pump at a great price, I guarantee you’ll lower your heating and cooling bills by at least 25% or I’ll pay you double your savings for 2 years. (This alone should convince you that these systems are some of the very best quality and most efficient available). But you’ve got to act fast ... call me at 946-1000 right now! This offer ends June 24th no matter what Don’t wait to call me. Here’s why. I have only 18 of each of the 3 sizes. When all of the air conditioners are sold and all the furnaces “given away” in a certain size, the “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” is over. And if I still have any of the 56 systems left on June 24th, this offer still ends. The reason is that my business only slows down for a short time. Since these furnaces cost me so little, if I’ve got any left, I’ll sell them next winter at last year’s prices and still come out ahead. So call me right now at 946-1000 Thanking you in advance, Scott Campbell Owner P.S. Remember, there’s no obligation and - even if you change your mind once I measure your house and give you the estimate - you still get that Free Gift Coupon worth $50.

Theatrix rolls out Snow White at Evergreen Cultural Centre
AndrewPalooza’s Saturday fundraiser
A fundraising benefit concert slated for Vancouver this weekend may have a laughable name, but the end goal is far from it. AndrewPalooza happens this Saturday, June 11 at the Red Room in Vancouver, and the event is meant to raise funds for Coquitlam resident Andrew Kristoff. Kristoff, 32, has battled multiple sclerosis since his mid-20s and is predominantly wheelchair bound as a result. A father of twin one-yearolds, Kristoff’s medication costs in the neighbourhood of $3,600 monthly, while the surgery he needs — available only in the U.S. — costs upwards of $7,000. That’s where AndrewPalooza comes in. Local bands Behind Sapphire, Bodhi Jones, Nadia Von Hahn and Sweetheart will all perform pro bono at Saturday’s show, while the venue has also been rented free of charge. The show gets going at 9 p.m. and tickets are between $20 and $25. For info, see http://andrewpalooza.eventbrite.com.

The Theatrix Youtheatre Society will stage three days worth of the group’s musical adaptation of Snow Arts in Brief White at John Kurucz Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre starting on Thursday, June 9. Led by music from the popular children’s entertainer Mr. I, the cast of 32 children between the ages of five and 13 will take the audience through tales of dwarves, queens, jesters and, of course, the princess herself. The show’s vocal direction comes courtesy of Elizabeth Cushnie, while the choreography is handled by Nicole Roberge. Theatrix’s founder and artistic director, Deb Solberg, is directing the show. “A lot of singing and dancing and antics from little people make this a delightful family show, and school audiences will love the fun and funny script,” Solberg said. Snow White runs June 9 to 11 at the Evergreen Cultural Centre, with show times slated for 1 and 7 p.m. Tickets are available through the Evergreen box office, by calling 604-927-6555 or visiting www.evergreenculturalcentre. ca.

Coquitlam rock band to take the Songfest stage It’s part performance, part education and all opportunity. Coquitlam-based rock band The Knots will take to Vancouver’s Malkin Bowl this weekend as part of Songfest Vancouver, which runs Saturday, June 11 at the Stanley Park venue. The four-piece band, which includes David Griffiths, Jeff Huggins, Jonny Schmidt and Aaron Waighorn, derives its sound from Led Zeppelin and the Tragically Hip. It had quite the 2010 to remember: the group was crowned B.C’s Best Teen Band 2010 by YouThink Magazine and Tom Lee Music and began
recording its debut EP, which is expected to be released this month. Hosted by Juno-award winning musical comedian Al Simmons, the inaugural event was created by local music veteran Norman Foote as a means to feature some of Metro Vancouver’s most promising musicians, while also giving those musicians and students the chance to work with professional production and technical teams. Other bands on the day-long bill include The Boom Booms, Oh No! Yoko, Kate Morgan, Michelle Creber and Natalie Sharp.

Naturalists lead Woodland hike in Pinecone Burke
the giant red cedars that once grew here and, possibly, hear the booming of sooty grouse. A majestic old-growth Douglas fir marks the end of the trail at the Pritchett Creek waterfall. For many years, a washed-out culvert has impeded access along this otherwise easyto-moderate trail. For this hike, the Burke Mountain Naturalists will install ropes to facilitate a creek crossing, which requires a few hops across boulders. This makes the trail unsuitable for young children. Pinecone Burke Park was declared a new provincial park as part of the Environment Week celebrations in 1995. Since then, most of the trail maintenance has been done by volunteers due to budget cuts. Participants should wear hiking boots, bring lunch and water and have appropriate clothing for the weather. For information, call 604-939-4039.
They’re heading to the land of wood to celebrate Environment Week. The Burke Mountain Naturalists are leading a public hike on the Woodland Walk trail in Pinecone Burke Provincial Park on Saturday, June 11. The hike will cover nine kilometres with an elevation gain of 300 meters to a lookout, which provides views of the protected forests of the Coquitlam drinking watershed. The leaders will meet the public at the trailhead at the end of Harper Road off Coast Meridian Road in northeast Coquitlam for an 8 a.m. departure. All participants will be required to sign a waiver, but registration is not required. Hikers can expect to return to the trailhead by 2 p.m. at the latest. The Woodland Walk trail follows, in part, an old logging road to Pritchett Creek through mature second growth forest. Along the trail, hikers will be able to view occasional stumps of

experiences touched by the human spirit. These fleeting moments of time build three significant American Camp Association values that are reflected in the benefits campers derive from camp. The association values people. The moments that result in the camp experience repeatedly express the value of people. Through the camp experience, young people learn to understand the strength of mankind. They also develop an appreciation for the qualities required to protect the fragile relationships needed to protect these relationships. Campers seek and appreciate what is real, genuine and non-artificial. In seeking those qualities in people as well as in the actual world, the association foster understanding of the importance of human connections for survival and of the critical connections to our physical world. Campers realize the need to protect not only one another, but also the environment in

Camp can boost self-esteem he camp experience enriches lives and changes the world. Camp provides children with a community of caring adults, who nurture experiential education that results in self-respect and appreciation for human value. All of the outcomes — self-identity, self-worth, self-esteem, leadership and self-respect — build personal competencies. These personal competencies are reflected in the four “C’s” of the camp community: compassion, contribution, commitment and character. For years, campers’ parents have reported that when their children return home from camp they are more caring, understand the importance of giving, are more equipped to stand up for what they know is right and are willing to be more responsible. These are the qualities that will help build a successful nation and a civil society. Children are at less risk at camp where they have a sense of community, develop intergenerational relationships and learn through first-hand experiences. Trained, caring adult role models help children feel loved, capable and included. Camp provides children with a safe, supervised, positive environment, which helps children grow. Camp professionals have enormous power in conveying simple teachable moments, special moments of passing

Catfight Wound Infections
Cats are territorial animals and when they come into contact with other cats they will often defend their territory by biting. Bite wounds are usually found in the tail root area, face, legs, back, neck and shoulder area. These wounds often become infected and if left untreated may result in serious consequences. Abscess: When a cat bites, their canine teeth puncture the skin and transfer bacteria. Wounds close over quickly trapping the bacteria under D r. N e n a d K a r l i , the skin, and without oxygen they multiply rapidly causing infection. It can DVM & Assoc. take up to 14 days for clinical signs to develop which includes swelling and localized pain of the affected area accompanied by a high fever, lack of appetite and lethargy. Pockets of puss will usually form under the skin and treatment often requires a surgical incision with drainage. Antibiotics and pain medication will be prescribed and healing takes 7 to 14 days. Cellulitis: When a bite wound occurs where skin is tight infection can spread through soft tissue in a diffuse pattern. Cellulitis is sometimes difficult to diagnose since there is no swelling but it is very painful, is often accompanied by fever and if bites are on legs or paw area, limping often occurs. Cellulitis requires aggressive antibiotic treatment and pain control and healing takes 7 to 14 days. Contagious Diseases: Cat saliva can also contain viruses that spread through bite wounds. These viruses include feline leukemia virus (FeLV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), and rabies. None of these viruses are treatable so please make sure your cat is vaccinated and tested for these viruses. Caution: Pus like discharge from abscesses may cause infection to humans so please thoroughly wash your hands after handling infected cats. If you get bitten by a cat (or any other animals) please contact your physician right away.

Nyhaug peels to open title in Abbotsford Close to home or an ocean away, Coquitlam’s Tory Nyhaug continues to chalk up the accomplishments. He outraced his rivals on Day 2 of the Canadian BMX Open to capture first place in Abbotsford. In the UCI category 5 race, Nyhaug took advantage of the inside lane in the first turn with all the riders running neck-toneck and pushed ahead. He held the lead through the third and fourth straights. “I definitely had my better run of the day in the final heat,” said Nyhaug in a press release. “It was a good day for racing.” A week earlier, he narrowly missed the podium at the BMX Supercross World Cup in the Netherlands, placing fourth overall. It was a career-best result for the talented Canadian, who emerged among 64 riders to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinal heats he placed sixth, first and first and stood second in the single-race showdown that launched him into the semifinals. With his fourth-place showing, Nyhaug jumped to sixth overall in the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup standings.
Adanacs bounce back to beat Burnaby
It could have been a sweep, but the Coquitlam Adanacs will take the two points and overtime loss to the bank. The Western Lacrosse Association club performed well in a pair of games on the weekend, falling 12-11 in Victoria Friday and bouncing back Saturday to trump Burnaby 9-4. In the loss, Dane Dobbie scored three times and set up three others, but was also handed a costly unsportsmanlike penalty with four minutes left in regulation. It sparked the Shamrocks’ rally to tie the game, and Victoria potted the first two goals in extra time to earn the win. A day later, Coquitlam brushed past Burnaby for a 9-2 lead after 40 minutes, led by twogoal efforts from brothers Daryl and Peter Veltman. Dobbie also tallied twice. The Adanacs’ visit Nanaimo on Sunday. Their next home game is June 18, 7 p.m. against New Westminster.

Centaur collects gold in BC’s 200m dash Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com It wasn’t just the late spring outburst of sunshine that was toasting the Swangard Stadium track on Saturday. When it came to the senior boys’ sprint events, the finals were chock-a-block filled with District 43 racers. And grinning for the camera, if a bit shyly, was Centennial’s Nathan George. The Grade 11 runner edged out Yale’s Brendon Restall in a photo finish in the 200-metre dash. It was a final dominated by District 43 runners, who filled five of the six slots. And while there were three in the final frame, it came down to George and Oak Bay’s Brendon Restall at the line. “Early in the season I heard what (Restall) ran, he had the fastest time of all of us early in the season,” said George, moments after claiming his 200-metre gold medal. “I knew he’d be a tough competitior in the 200.” George’s time of 22.25 seconds — which was also Restall’s official finish time for the silver medal — proved to be a personal best, edging out his own personal mark set a day earlier. Close on both George’s and Restall’s heels was Gleneagle Talons’ Hodson Harding, with a bronzemedal winning time of 22.28 seconds. Heritage Woods’ Ben Ayesu-Attah placed fourth with a time of 22.58, while Gleneagle’s Nicholas Ayin edged out Dr. Charles Best’s James Linde by .09 seconds for fifth place. In the 400m, Restall prevailed by edging out Harding 47.39 to 47.53, while AyesuAttah came third. George finished fifth with a PB of 48.08 seconds. In the senior boys 100m race, Ayin’s time of 11.29 put him a close second behind Yale’s Nakai Luyken, who won it in 11.20 seconds. Linde netted the bronze medal. Bounding out to a silver in the senior triple jump was Heritage Woods’ Anthon Meyer, with a leap of 13.24, behind the first-place jump of 14.55 set by Vancouver College’s Nick Fyffe. Cashing in for the only senior girls medal was Esinam Ayesu-Attah of Heritage Woods, who pocketed silver in the 100m dash with a time of 12.39 seconds, behind McNair’s Shai-Ann Davis’ 12.20. Ayesu-Attah also placed fourth in the sr. girls 200m, posting a final time of 25.46. Here are more District 43 results: BOYS, 1500m – 9th Lawrence Viola, HW. 3000m – 16th Lawrence Viola, HW.

Triumph returns with northern BC medal bonanza
The PoCo trio of Lyn Hardman, Deanna Kadota and Brook Tremblay were triumphant at last week’s International Taekwon-Do Federation Northern B.C. national championships in Prince George. The three, who were part of an eight-member contingent from the PoCo-based Triumph Taekwon-Do Club, each registered gold and bronze results at the event. Hardman won the senior ladies black belt sparring division, and finished third in patterns. Kadota topped the junior female red belt patterns and pulled bronze in sparring, while Tremblay scored gold in pre-junior girls black belt patterns and secured bronze in sparring.
Other multiple medal winners were Elsa Brink, netting silver and bronze in women’s 1st degree patterns and sparring, Nikolas Hardman, with silver and bronze in jr. boys black belt patterns and sparring, and Kristie Stewart, with silver and bronze in jr. female black belt patterns (1st degree) and sparring. Collecting three medals from three different events was Brianne Thompson, who earned silver in 3rd degree patterns, and bronze in both sparring and power breaking. Coach Kevin Reinelt also made his return to competition after a 10-year hiatus, grabbing gold in sr. men’s black belt (4th degree) patterns and sr. men’s free sparring.

Netminder Carson Michaud delivered a strong performance, turning back 36 shots. The win followed two tough losses, including a heartbreaking 9-8 setback to Langley. Against the Thunder, PoCo led 7-5 after 40 minutes but saw it slip away in the third. The Saints work at improving their 1-10 record on Friday when they host Langley, 8 p.m. at the PoCo Rec Centre.

Even after Nanaimo tied it, PoCo retaliatated with two more goals to lead 9-7 heading into the third. Cory Cop and Danton Nicholson, with his third of the night, gave the visitors a comfortable lead that would stick the rest of the way. “We finally put in a 60-minute game together,” Delmonico said. “We certainly let a couple of games get away from us, we’ve been playing better and even gave teams like Coquitlam and New West a run for their
With one finally under their belts, the Port Coquitlam Saints are looking to quickly double it. The Saints racked up their first win of the B.C.

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
