Betty Fox beams as she speaks about her son, Terry, and his legacy at the Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam.

Saying goodbye to Betty Port Coquitlam invites residents to sign condolence book John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com She’s being remembered as the consummate team player who always paid it forward, and a mother to an entire nation. That’s how politicians and well-wishers from around the Tri-Cities are remembering Betty Fox, who died last Friday. “You immediately felt comfortable around her,” said Port Moody-WestwoodPort Coquitlam MP James Moore, who first met Fox in the early 1990s. “She was the grandmother that everybody knows,

and she’s the grandmother that everybody either had or wishes that they had. She was just a really lovely, warm person who was incredibly proud of Terry and incredibly appreciative of all those who contributed to Terry’s legacy in continuing the fight against cancer.” Mother to the iconic cancer crusader Terry Fox, Betty died Friday morning, according to a statement from the Terry Fox Foundation. “Betty/Mom passed away peacefully surrounded by love,” the foundation’s statement reads. “Betty was comfortable the last few weeks and months of her life, was always full of wit and rarely alone. Betty is now with Terry and joins other dear family members that predeceased her. We have greatly appreciated the privacy granted to our family since Betty’s illness was shared and are hoping it continues at this difficult time.”

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore remembers Betty as a “wonderful person who was very dedicated and very focused on continuing Terry’s legacy.” “Part of Betty’s legacy is so similar to Terry’s,” he said Tuesday. “Here is a type of person who didn’t plan this type of journey in life, but once it was there and upon them, they did everything they could to fulfill it.” Moore was a friend of the Fox family dating back to his early youth, as his dad once served as Terry’s soccer coach at Port Coquitlam Senior Secondary — which has since been renamed in Terry’s honour. On top of that, Moore served as the principal run organizer for the hometown Terry Fox Run from 1998 to 2003. “She always made time for everyone,” the mayor recalled. “On run days when  CONTINUED ON PAGE 4, see BETTY.

Revised plans to replace Port Moody’s Fire Hall No. 1 have ignited a heated response from local firefighters. In April’s referendum, 58 per cent of voters supported plans to borrow up to $16 million to rebuild the aging fire hall in its current location. Council, however, voted 4-2 against borrowing the funds. They then created a task force to review the entire project. The task force is now considering rebuilding the fire hall at Newport Drive and Knowle Street, with efforts made to save space in the design. This potential move has set off alarm bells for the local firefighters union. “I honestly can’t see how our needs are going to be met in that space. It’s just too small, no matter which way they slice it,” said Rob Suzukovich, president of the Port Moody Professional Firefighters Association. “We’ve said all along they should follow through with the original plan. There was a design that was put together by city staff and architects.” Changes to the fire hall’s design are another point of contention. “Our concern is coming up with a small or a scaledback design. We’d like to see it built right the first time. A poor design will end up costing taxpayers more in the long run when they need to rebuild in 20 years — unless they’re looking at planning for a third fire hall,” Suzukovich said. “Proper planning and doing

it properly the first time is the way to go. That’s what we want to see done. A scaledback plan is all about politics instead of the long-term best interest of the city.” Suzukovich also questioned the work of the task force, which consists of three councillors who opposed the original plans to borrow funds to rebuild the fire hall at its current location. “I’m a bit skeptical of the task force as it sits right now. Basically what it’s come down to here is we’ve got three councillors who are designing a fire hall and are now ignoring city staff,” Suzukovich said, adding that the issue has become political. “You have experts that come in and design projects, whether it’s a fire hall or anything else. Now we’ve got this select committee that is basically trying to assume that they’re experts in the fire service, and they’re not. They shouldn’t be in the design phase of a building. There’s no objectivity or anything there. … My concern is that the fire hall that they’re proposing is barely going to meet the needs of today, let alone tomorrow.” Discussions have been underway for the past decade, Suzukovich added. “I’ve been on numerous committees over the past 10 years, and they’ve had 10 years to deal with it,” he said. “In the 11th hour — even after going through this whole process of wasting time and money and disrespecting the voters, as far as I’m concerned — they come up with this process disguised as the best interest of the city.”

City pays 86 employees six figures

Coquitlam council remuneration tops $500,000 and expenses exceed $85,000 Stories by John Kurucz jkurucz@thenownews.com Eighty-six employees with the City of Coquitlam earned more than $100,000 last year, while two highranking managers remain the lone members of the $200,000-plus club. City manager Peter Steblin topped the pay list at $228,363, with deputy city manager John DuMont following at $204,126. “Good, skilled people are expensive and worth every penny,” Mayor Richard Stewart said Tuesday. “But at the same time, we want to be very fiscally responsible and we are constantly examining those numbers to make sure that we have the right balance at City Hall.” The highest earning politician was Stewart, who collected $117,939. Byelection winner Coun. Neal Nicholson made $29,871, the least accrued among nine elected officials. Much like 2009, firefighter John Macdonald claimed the largest expense total — $7,779 — of any city staffer. Last year, Macdonald claimed $6,600 in expenses.

Coun. Barrie Lynch topped the expense list at $17,878. Lynch was followed by Coun. Linda Reimer ($12,222), while Stewart claimed $15,382. Both Stewart and Lynch said Tuesday that their expense totals were directly related to multiple meetings and conferences across Canada. In Lynch’s case, he travelled to four Federation of Canadian Municipalities functions in Moncton, Toronto, Ottawa and Nunavut. “I’ve done nothing differently this year than I’ve done in all of the other years,” said Lynch, whose expense totals for 2009 checked in at $11,016. With the exception of Stewart’s salary and Nicholson’s reduced pay due

to his mid-year byelection win, all other councillors made $51,770 last year. All told, $510,200 was paid out to the city’s elected officials, while $85,243 was claimed in expenses. pay“Good, skilled rollThe for city people are employees expensive and making more worth every than $75,000 yearly totalled penny.” $24,215,327. The 2009 numbers were Richard pegged at $24,176,914. Stewart Besides Coquitlam Mayor Steblin and Dumont, the following city staffers round out the top 10 in terms of 2010 salaries: Bill Susak, manager of engineering and public works ($182,760); Jim McIntyre, manager of planning and development ($180,202); Lori MacKay, manager of parks, recreation and culture ($175,332); Maurice Gravelle, manager of strategic initia-

tives ($172,463); the estate of the late Trevor Wingrove, former manager of corporate services ($165,965); Sheena MacLeod, manager of financial services ($165,737); Tony Delmonico, fire chief ($165,615); and David Wanner, engineering inspector ($164,219). Some stats are down when compared to 2009 numbers, as 91 employees made more than $100,000 during that calendar year. Stewart noted that as development revenues steadily rose since last year, more of the city’s construction-related revenues have since been invested into engineering, planning or maintenance staff. “There’s a lot of people that you’ll find that are committed to the services that a local government provides and a commitment to that industry, and we’re thankful for that,” he said. “At the same time, you have to pay them somewhat commensurate to what their knowledge is, because a skilled and knowledgeable worker is expensive. The only thing more expensive than that is an unskilled worker, because it will end up costing the city more in the long run because of mistakes.”

Coquitlam defers public art budget until fall M

uch like other groups approaching the city with hat in hand, Coquitlam’s arts and culture committee will have to wait until the fall to see what kind of dough will be coming its way. Exactly how much money goes its way could be in question, too. On Monday, Coquitlam council voted to refer a funding request of between $25,000 and $50,000 for a public art reserve until later this year. “It simply means that there is a number in mind when 2012 budget process begins,” said Coun. Neal Nicholson, who chairs the arts committee. “What that number ultimately becomes is all part of the 2012 budget process. The outcome of that process will be what it will be.” The funding request came by way of the city’s arts and culture advisory committee, which is the process of developing a public art policy for the city. According to a staff report, the committee

sponsorships. Some around the council table suggested that funding requests should come to council on an as-needed basis

for specific projects as they are developed. “In my opinion, we don’t need to identify specific funding allocations before

they arise,” said Coun. Doug Macdonell. Coun. Lou Sekora in particular took issue with the funding request, suggesting that it came through the committee’s chair specifically. He added, “the most dangerous thing we can do in the council chambers is have different committees.” Coun. Selina Robinson, vice-chair of the arts committee, countered Sekora’s point by saying the funding request was the byproduct of citizen participation in city committee work. “There are recommendations that came from committee,” she noted. “We’ve shifted our committee structure a little bit and have identified experts in our community and people who have a particular knowledge set. This was their recommendations and all the committee chair does is bring forward their recommendations.” “All of our expenditure decisions should be referred to budget time when we can,” Mayor Richard Stewart added in an interview Tuesday.

Suzukovich also acknowledged that the task force could be interested in using the fire hall’s current location at Ioco Road and Murray Street for other potential purposes. “I understand the need for them wanting to preserve that [land], but at the same time, you’ve got to put the interests of the people first. And if that means building it on that site, then so be it. You’ve got to build it on the site and move forward and look at other ways to bring other revenue into the city.” The whole situation is causing frustration for Suzokovich and his fellow firefighters, especially after fire chief Jeff

Lambert’s recent resignation. “I’ve been biting my tongue here a bit too long watching this whole process unfold,” he said. “It’s very frustrating.” Although he would not comment on Lambert’s resignation, Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini said the fire hall designs had “gone wild” before the referendum. “It became clear to me once I saw the details that perhaps the fire department management had kind of run away with the design,” Trasolini said. “If something is running away, out of control, then maybe a look needs to be taken as to what is needed really. … I am not blaming any one person, but I would say that the people who were

in charge of the design and the fire department management kind of were running away with it.” A lot of questions remained about the fire hall design, Trasolini said. “Are you designing something for 30 years in the future? Or should we design a building that 20 or 30 years from now can be expanded?” he asked. “Surely we don’t want to build a fire hall today with the square footage that are needed 20 years from now, nor should we expend taxpayers’ money on building a structure that is needed 20 years from now.” The fire hall replacement task force is expected to provide recommendations to council on June 28.

Dumping the issue on others I am a concerned citizen who cleans up the outdoors on a regular basis. Recently I have been cleaning the area around Dewdney Trunk Road between Ioco Road and Johnson Street. I have been in the area over 60 times and taken out over 2,000 bags of garbage by making numerous trips To The and using old grocery carts to carry the debris. Coquitlam City Hall should be ashamed of themselves for ignoring this problem and not enforcing the anti-dumping rules they already have in place. I have spoken to many people at City Hall and between the problem of road right-of-ways, the

railway right-of-way and private property, the city seems to believe they have no role in keeping the area clean. I give freely of my time, I have never been paid and I do this because I care about the community. Hopefully once this letter becomes public, the officials at Coquitlam City Hall will acknowledge Editor that there is a problem and do something about it. This mess is not only an eyesore, but it encourages more illegal dumping. These illegal dumpers do not worry about their actions because obviously nobody in the city cares. Luanne Bradshaw Coquitlam

earts of many in the Tri-Cities were exceptionally heavy last weekend as news spread of the passing of Betty Fox. Her family said the former Port Coquitlam matriarch had died peacefully and surrounded by loved ones after a serious illness. The flags in Port Coquitlam have been flying half-mast, and rightly so. Her son became known around the world for running more than 5,000 kilometres after rehabilitating from a leg amputation. He ran to create awareness about the ravages of cancer, to raise funds for a cure. He ran to give us hope. He completed 42 kilometres a day until he was forced to stop near Thunder Bay, Ont., when cancer appeared in his lungs. He died on June 28, 1981, at age 22. The story doesn’t end there, and for that, we must thank Betty. She never planned to be the mother of a Canadian icon. But after the original Marathon of Hope concluded, she was the one who recognized the work to be done, strapped on her sneakers and kept going. Betty was selfless with her time, giving hugs and handshakes along the way to all in need of a lift. She was Terry’s biggest champion, and in preserving his legacy with her trademark compassion and drive, Betty became part of the national fabric. She was, quite simply, Canada’s mom. Man in Motion Rick Hansen noted that Betty’s devotion to her son’s cause is “a true testament to the power of one individual, and the influence they can have on the lives of others.” Betty has joined Terry on the final leg of the Marathon of Hope. The torch has now been passed on to us. Rest in peace, Betty Fox. Your son’s dream, we are quite certain, lives on.

police department is fending off criticism over how it handled the riot can blow back on the mayor. The premier has announced there will be an independent, external inquiry into the riot, and that will touch on such issues as police preparedness and response. If any evidence emerges that suggests funding pressures for the police department in any way influenced the outcome of the riot, things could get very sticky for the mayor. The police have been criticized for not having enough officers on hand the night of the riot, and for their benign response, which included not helping small businesses (and their staff) while their stores were being ransacked and looted. I’m not sure when the external inquiry wraps up its work, but keep in mind Robertson and his Vision Vancouver council colleagues face an election in November. They had all better hope nothing negative arises from that inquiry, because if something bad does emerge, it may give the rival Non-Partisan Association, which has been on life support for several years, the kind of issue it has been searching for so desperately to allow it to get back on its feet. Look for the NPA to accuse the mayor and council of being more interested in bike lanes and backyard chickens than taking proper precautions before the riot. It may not be a fair criticism, but there’s a good chance it will resonate with some voters. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Mayors frustrated by Evergreen delays, too Re: “Evergreen frustrates local MP,” Friday, June 10. In light of MP James Moore’s admonition that mayors need to provide regional funding in support of the Evergreen Line, it is important to clarify a key fact. The reality is that when the provincial government restructured TransLink, it didn’t give mayors the power to propose regional funding solutions. The act spells out very strict parameters regarding regional funding for transportation infrastructure. The South Coast British Columbia Transportation Act also ties the mayors’ hands in that funding sources are very narrowly defined. The act includes a detailed approval process that severely limits the mayors’ role. The province has given TransLink and a commissioner appointed by the province specific powers relative to the preparation of regional funding proposals (called supplements in the act). Once a supplement has been developed by TransLink and reviewed by the commissioner, only then can the mayors exercise their power to “approve or reject any supplement” (Article 204, South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Act). Regional mayors have been given the burden to raise their hand in support of tax increases for regional transportation while bound in the straightjacket of ill-conceived legislation that gives them no influence over TransLink’s operations and the use of these funds. Joe Trasolini Port Moody Mayor

Citizens lamenting longer Re: “Evergreen frustrates local MP,”

Friday, June 10. Poor MP James Moore. He is frustrated and his mind is boggled because the Evergreen Line is still not under construction. For three and a half years, the feds have “set aside $417 million and it’s been collecting dust.” That statement has been James Moore’s total participation towards the construction of the Evergreen Line. It should be a lot more than To The just “borderline embarrassment” for him. He should be resigning his parliamentary seat for what he has not done. He seems unaware that the feds took away the Evergreen priority to build the Canada Line. They also took away the many alternatives that our local government had prepared for the Evergreen Line. Because our regional government is owned and operated by our provincial government, they are now left with a single alternative (which is not acceptable) dictated by the province. Neither of the two senior governments have in place policies or programs (other than the traditional one-third cost split) to cover our need for the construction of our Evergreen Line — which is sufficient reason to cause the political mayhem we find ourselves in. There are a lot more people who have been frustrated with the lack of progress on the Evergreen Line, and for much longer time than his three and a half years. He was ducking before the last election, when he should have presented our case for the incentive plans his government would have provided for this shovel-ready project. But he did nothing more than to say (as he still does) that there is $417 million set aside. Mr. Moore is a clever enough politician to know that you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the

time; but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. Ensure that the funding gap is filled, Mr. Moore (whatever it takes), so that we can get on with the job. Your embarrassment and ours may even become more acute over more wasted time and subsequent increasing costs. You should leave the lamenting to us long-suffering advocates of the Evergreen Line. Just look at how Editor advanced it got us. Cliff E. Van Alstyne Port Moody

Evergreen blame misguided Wow, what an impressive arrival Mr. Blair Lekstrom has made in the transporation ministry. Swooping into the Evergreen debate like some sort of superhero who proposes to settle all outstanding issues by accusing the mayors of somehow obstructing the success of the Evergreen Line because they refuse to force the taxpayer to contribute more funds to the success of this TransLink project. Did they give him a superhero cape? His arrival settles the debate by exempting TransLink from its most egregious participation in this debate. TransLink is at the heart of this most disastrous failing. But suddenly, Mr. Lekstrom, after weeks at the helm, has declared it is the mayors who are causing the delays. If Mr. Lekstrom had done even the tiniest bit of homework before he made these declarations, he would have learned that the taxpayer started paying property taxes for this project years ago. We have been faithfully paying our property taxes with the hope of getting the Evergreen Line built for years now. Even after the extra property taxes were not enough, we agreed to the Metro Vancouver regional growth strategy demand that we increase density. More hoop

jumping and still no Evergreen Line. Clearly Lekstrom is trying to impose the entire blame on the mayors when it is Translink that made unrealistic promises. It is taking no responsibility for this boondoggle that is the Evergreen Line. The taxpayer is sick and tired of the government’s games. While it declares that TransLink was never a provincial government commitment, it is clear the Liberals take every opportunity to exploit the conveniences of TransLink’s negligent behaviour. This has become a joke, and both the provincial and federal components believe there is only one way to raise funds — by raising property taxes — even though there seems to be endless funds for such projects as the roof on the B.C. Place Stadium. I am sick and tired of paying more taxes when there is no end to provincial and federal goverment spending. When will it end? C. Simon Port Moody

Does your child forget everything he or she learned in school once break arrives? Did you know: Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over summer months. Therefore, even the best students forget lessons they have learned during the school year. While a break from school is great for recharging your children’s batteries, if students aren’t using the skills they acquired in the classroom, they could ﬁnd themselves lagging behind once the school bell rings again. Sylvan offers recommendations to inspire academic discovery when away from the classroom.

• Writing - To help writing skills, encourage your child to start a diary, write letters to a grandparent or even email a friend. If you are traveling on a vacation, ask your child to keep a travel journal recording where you stayed and what you did. • Mathematics - Helping mom with grocery shopping develops opportunities to use math skills, such as making change, weighing fruits and vegetables, etc. Providing assistance with cooking can also familiarize children with weights and measures, organization and planning and following a recipe. • Reading - You can’t start too early. You can’t read too much. Reading to young children nurtures an interest in language, words and communication. Children also learn by example. If parents are setting time aside to read, it reinforces the fun and enjoyment of reading. • Research - There are many websites that provide summer reading lists for children. At www.BookAdventure.com, children (K-8) create personalized book lists from more than 7,500 recommended titles.

Be sure to select games appropriate for your child’s age level. • Summer Enrichment Programs - There are many enrichment activities available for children when school is out.

Coquitlam is hoping people adopt the streets as their own to combat litter. The city is launching an Adopt-A-Street program to help increase community awareness and participation in litter control. Individuals and groups such as school groups, non-profit organizations, businesses or neighbours are being encouraged to adopt municipal roads with a minimum length of approximately one kilometre by performing litter pickup at least once a month with a commitment of one year. “We see the program as a co-operative effort between the City and its citizens who want to help improve its appearance and become litter-free,” Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said in a release. “Few things diminish the beauty of a community more than scattered garbage, and we want to eliminate this in Coquitlam.” Volunteers will be provided with information kits, safety guidelines and litter pickup equipment, and work under the guidance and direction of staff from the engineering and public works department. Dan Mooney, Coquitlam’s manager of roads and traffic Operations, said the initiative is a great solution for community members and groups looking for volunteer opportunities. “Our mission is to maintain a sustainable and beautiful city by encouraging everyone to take an active role and by

Holding the line on joyful drawing

Calling all the clans

Traditional highland dance, a vast array of classic cars and the stone putt — the B.C. Highland Games are nothing if not eclectic. Set for this Saturday, June 25 at Coquitlam’s Percy Perry Stadium, the yearly fete of all things Scotland combines a number of activities all in the same venue: dancing, pipe and drumming bands, hammer throws and more. Tickets for this Saturday’s event range in price between $3 and $13, while families of four can purchase tickets for $40. For more information, see www.bchighlandgames.com.

Filmmaker cracks top 10

Coquitlam resident Alan Miller’s film Conrad the Wise has been selected as one of the 10 films featured in a CBC program called Short Film Faceoff. The four-part series pits emerging filmmakers from across Canada against one another, and the winner is selected by viewer participation via phone calls and through the web. In the end, $50,000 will be up for grabs.

Doug Charles puts the finishing touches on a piece before the Coquitlam Art Club’s Spring Art Show, which is set for this weekend at Dogwood Pavilion. Miller’s film is based on a short story he came across while studying at the University of Victoria called “Sredni Vashtar,” a tale that follows a young boy trying to escape from his aunt’s overbearing ways through the use of a vivid imagination. It will be aired on the CBC on July 2, while a 30-second trailer can be viewed at www.vimeo.com/5197319.

The human-animal connection Artists Raymond Chiu and Silvina Lanusse

will team up for a joint exhibit exploring the connection between humans and animals at PoCo’s Leigh Square Arts Village starting July 2. Entitled Connections, Relations & Bonds, the show combines Lanusse’s penchant for working in acrylics and Chiu’s interpretation of the relationship between humans and dogs. An opening reception is slated for July 7 at 6 p.m., while the show runs from July 2 to July 31.

he concepts of speed, modern technology and returning to innocence will be at the forefront of the two exhibits at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts this month. Artists Angela Gooliaff and Tony Chu have rolled out The Joy of Drawing in the centre’s Leonore Peyton Salon, an exhibit that is based on analyzing the question: “Is speed compromising our in-depth exploration and understanding of drawing?” The two challenge the notion that technology has altered the ability to convey certain messages by returning to traditional drawing techniques. Lindsay Watson’s acrylic painting exhibit, Everyday Treasures, takes its inspiration from the simple things in life: childhood memories and time spent with family. “Recently, motivation for a new painting led me right to my kitchen. Seeing a bowl of fresh-picked peaches on the counter, still warm from the sun, was all the inspiration I needed,” she said. Everyday Treasures is situated in centre’s mezzanine area, while the annual student show is being housed in the Atrium gallery. The exhibits are being shown now through until July 9.

The Golden Boot Caffé, located at the corner of Ridgeway and Nelson in Coquitlam, has been in existence since August 1997. From the very beginning, owner-chef David Azzi has emphasized that he was not in competition with fast-food outlets, nor with restaurants that placed more importance on quantity than quality. For that reason the food served at the Golden Boot Caffé, whether it be the pasta, the sauces, or the desserts, is homemade. David Azzi acquired his penchant for Italian cooking from his three Italian aunts, Tina Brunoro, Nia Galassini, and Lea Bortoluzzi. All three are exceptional cooks and, through example, provided David with the desire to emulate them. Another aunt, Anna Azzi, was a professional chef at a resort hotel in Tuscany, Italy. David’s mother, Gloria Azzi, also has a keen interest in cooking. As a child, David would watch, and later assist, his mother in making pasta and various sauces. As a young man, David spent a year in Modena, Italy where he befriended a chef by the name of Bollo. When Bollo opened his ﬁrst restaurant, David spent endless hours training under his direction and learning how to apply home cooking to a restaurant setting. Later, David and his cousin Roano Azzi opened the A-Wear Caffé in downtown Vancouver. The owner of A-Wear, Alberto Leone, provided this opportunity. Here David was able to use the skills that he had accumulated over the years. With this experience he decided to open his own restaurant in his hometown of Coquitlam. Thus the Golden Boot Caffé was formed.

With more than 60 years in a family business we’ve garnered a well-respected name in British Columbia specializing in the design, construction and management of residential and industrial buildings. Over the course of the past several years multiple events were held for the public to engage, review and comment on the revitalization of the Austin Heights neighbourhood. The plan for this neighbourhood was drawn up and approved based on feedback received from Coquitlam residents. Consistent with the Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan, we presented a proposal for a 24-storey building at our own public open house. This project, to be constructed at 955 Austin Avenue, would stand as an architectural landmark, providing a sense of arrival to the newly revitalized Austin Heights neighbourhood. We received strong support from the community members and thus brought the proposal forward to the City. At a recent public hearing, we heard your concerns and felt we needed to meet with residents again to hear your views. A second drop-in Open House will be held on Monday, June 27, 2011 at the Winslow Centre, Gallery Room, from 5 – 7 pm. At this open house, we invite you to review the revisions we have made to our project as well as to see how our proposed project is a vibrant addition to the approved neighbourhood plan. We believe this shared vision for Austin Heights will revitalize the neighbourhood, develop the area into an exciting community that meets the needs of residents, ensure the availability of a variety of housing choices for residents over the next 20 years and enhance the Austin Heights commercial area by creating more jobs for Coquitlam residents. We strongly believe in the City of Coquitlam and are excited for the continued enhancement and growth of the area, as well as for its sustainable future. We are also excited to be part of the City’s plans to create a vibrant and distinctive neighbourhood dedicated to revitalizing and strengthening the Austin Heights community. We would like to thank you for your input and we look forward to seeing you at our open house next week. Sincerely,

Open House

Preparing kids for camp Hart Banack Postmedia News

ach summer, children and parents enter new territory in their relationship when a child goes off to a sleep-over camp away from home for the first time. This change brings with it both rewards and challenges.

New experience

Children depend on preparation for successful transitions and this holds true for a sleep-over camp experience as well. Just as we give kids a warning that dinner will be served in 10 minutes so that they can prepare, parents need to begin this type of groundwork for camp. Talk to your child about the summer camp, get them on board with the experience before you sign them up. Then make sure that you continue to discuss camp in various ways before they head off. Some ideas include: having sleepovers at a friend’s house; going to the camp open house or new-family orientation so that the child has been to the site; and talking about what the experience will be like.

Separation anxiety

We know that new experiences produce anxiety for all of us, and this is usually heightened for a child. It should be acknowledged that camp and sleeping away from home are new experiences and that these may be awkward and uncomfortable at the beginning. Do not ignore these feelings. Make space and time for discussion prior to camp departure. If you know that this is an issue for your child, inform the camp and get the director’s support. On drop-off day, speak

with the counsellors. Do not send your child to camp with expectations that they will be able to speak with parents regularly or get picked up early, and do not send a cellphone. Camp is meant to be a healthy transition towards separation, so work on healthy strategies that honour this separation. You may wish to send your child to camp with creature comforts like photos from home or favourite objects like a stuffy or pajamas.

Homesickness

Regardless of such planning, your child may still experience homesickness and you need to know how that will be handled by the camp. Ask the camp about their homesickness policies and practices. Make sure that you have given the camp up-to-date contact information and that you are available during your child’s stay. Some children, regardless of preparation, may not be

ready for sleepover camp yet. If your camper spends two or three nights at camp and then needs to go home, consider it a success and give them praise for their accomplishment.

Self-esteem

Going away from the family for a few days in the summer improves self-esteem and confidence. Camp directors hear this type of comment from parents all the time. Children learn that they are able to do many things while at camp.

Share stories

Parents love to hear tales from their child and children love to contribute their stories to the family. Camp gives great tales for children to share, and overcoming difficult situations such as separation anxiety and homesickness are accomplishments worthy of celebration. They strengthen the bonds of the family, while allowing the uniqueness of each individual member to be valued.

Camp is a fun experience, providing families know what to expect beforehand.

Aging in place means planning S I M P L E T H I N G S A R O U N D T H E H O M E C A N B E C O M E N E E D L E S S C H A L L E N G E S by Tessa Holloway Peter Simpson had never thought too much about where the plugs in his house were located until he had a hernia operation. “Just a simple thing like bending over to plug in my battery charger in my cell phone, I had to take my time doing it,” said Simpson. “If that power receptacle had only been about six inches or so higher, it wouldn’t have been nearly as challenging.” For Simpson, president and CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, it was a perfect example of why his organization is pushing to educate homebuilders on how to build houses where seniors can age in place. Simpson’s problem was temporary, but for many others, the location of electrical outlets can mean the difference between independence and relying on others. Seniors’ accessibility is also a concern being raised more and more by customers, said John Friswell, owner of the North Vancouver-based CCI Renovations. “A lot of (homeowners) have had homes for a long time and they’re now looking at their house and saying, ‘Wow, I’ve got a two-storey house that’s 5,000 square feet,

how am I going to stay here?’” Friswell took a four-day Certified Ageing in Place Specialist (CAPS) course provided by the home builders’ association a few years ago so he could advise clients, and said he incorporates many of the ideas into every house he renovates. That includes making sure wood backing is installed behind shower walls so grab-bars can be screwed in later, as well as lowering the height of light switches. He also can install contrasting materials so visually impaired have an easier time navigating or wider doors and larger bathrooms for easier wheelchair access, among other changes. He also said they try to install houses with deep closets directly above one another in case homeowners decide to install a residential elevator when they’re unable to use the stairs. Simpson said some seniors are also finding they want to live closer to family, which has prompted several North Shore municipalities to investigate the idea of laneway homes in back yards, so seniors Mike Wakefield photo could live with family while maintaining John Friswell incorporates their independence. “I think more municipalities should jump “aging in place” concepts into on board with that, but of course we’ve got renovations. some resistance to that,” said Simpson.

• Use tools that have long handles to avoid bending or stooping. Handles should be as long as your own height. • Pad the handles of your hand tools with foam to enlarge the grip. • Wear a carpenter’s apron with large pockets for carrying frequently used tools. • Make sure your tools are sharp and well oiled.

Guloien eager to return to rowing podium

Fuelled by desire and high expectations, Canada’s 8-women rowing team continues to feel the positive ripple effects of last year’s results. Last year’s silver medal at the World Championships has kept the bar high, but that’s nothing new for Canada when it comes to rowing. Port Moody’s Krista Guloien anticipates more of the same as the competitive season heads into the busy summer. “We have not predicted anything yet,” Guloien said in an e-mail interview with The NOW. “We are here in Europe to test ourselves for the first time this season and it is very exciting. We will see where our training puts us amongst the international field and we will have that to take home with us.” Canada’s crew took their oars to Russia earlier this month, where they participated in the 2011 Golden Blades of St. Petersburg. They faced off against the Netherlands in the 250-metre sprint challenge, with the Dutch squad using a last minute replacement — ex-Olympic medalist Guin Batten from Britain — to spring to first for the Ekaterina the Great Cup. Last year’s dramatic silver medal at the World Championships, coupled with a silver at the World Cup and gold and bronze in the women’s duo event, have increased the expectations and pressure for the Simon Fraser University alumna and her teammates. All of them have trained just for that right. “With great experience and success comes great pressure,” she noted. “This is why we do this. Sometimes you wonder why you put yourself through it all. In those dark moments you have to draw from the memories you have of standing on the podium.” The squad is aiming to be at peak performance when they arrive in Bled, Slovenia for the World Championships, Aug. 28 to Sept. 4. During the winter-spring training sessions, the women’s eight lineup saw one new face added to the mix. The competition for positions proved intense but enriching, Guloien said. “We had a rigourous seat selection process,” she said. “I wouldn’t say my role has changed... I do feel that having had a successful summer with this lineup has given us all many experiences and memories that help us moving forward.” Each rower has the same goal and same desire — to get Canada to the 2012 Olympics in London. That success will create a whole new challenge, but those who’ve dipped their blades into Olympiad waters know the price and are eagerly lining up to pay it. “We joke with [coach] John Keogh about putting extra kilometers in ‘the bank’ — the bank that we only make deposits in, we tell him. He smartly has replied that we only get to cash in once every four years. Now, what can you say to that? It is worth all the hard work and pressure,” Guloien added. “I am very lucky to do what I do.”

Adanacs hot over Bellies’ low blows Stories by Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com Bob Salt was seeing red Saturday — Salmonbellies’ red. The Coquitlam Adanacs head coach exited Saturday’s 7-2 loss to New Westminster steamed after losing league scoring star Dane Dobbie to a vicious back check. The incident, along with a late slash suffered by defensive star Jon Harnett, had Salt thinking about how best to protect his players. “[New Westminster] intentionally injured Dobbie and intentionally injured Harnett and those are two of my best players,” fumed Salt. “I’m not going to put up with that.” The first incident occurred midway through the third period, where the Bellies’ penalty minutes leader Rory Smith hammered Dobbie in the lower back with a cross check just inside New West’s zone. There was no penalty call, despite occurring immediately in front a referee. Dobbie, who leads the league in scoring with 20 goals and 21 assists in eight games, had to be helped off the floor in obvious pain. He didn’t return. “For one, you lose probably one of the best players in the league and it fires you up and gets you a bit off [your game],” said Salt. “It was very unnecessary — they took him out and I can’t believe a ref looks and says they didn’t see it, or think [Dobbie’s] flopping.” The score at that time was 4-2, and less than a minute later the Bellies’ Cliff Smith converted a powerplay opportunity with his third goal of the game. The hack on Harnett, delivered by New West defender Clayton Richardson, drew a five-minute checking-from-behind major, but not an intent to injure penalty that Coquitlam felt it deserved. “Why is Richardson on the floor, on the wrong side of the floor, when his team’s got the ball?” asked Adanacs general manager Les Wingrove. “He never goes on offence. He’s on his wrong side of the floor. You figure it out.” While the commissioner was in attendance, he is unable to punish a player for intent to injure without video evidence. Because both plays occurred when New West had the ball and took place behind the play, neither were caught on tape.

Junior Adanacs hold off T-men

Bad news and OK results didn’t add up to a good week for the Coquitlam junior Adanacs. After losing Robert Church eight days ago to a broken leg, the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League frontrunners put in a uneven effort Sunday against the Nanaimo Timbermen. Although they won 13-11, the first-place Adanacs likely paid penance in practice for letting Nanaimo back into the game in the third. Coquitlam jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the first and led 7-3 early in the second, but the Tmen kept up the chase. Trailing by four goals to start the third period, the home team pulled within two goals before the 15-0 Adanacs iced it. Matthew Dinsdale led the way with two goals and six assists, while Wesley Berg contributed a goal and five helpers. Ryan Johnson and Ben McIntosh each deposited hat tricks, with Scott Muscroft contributing two goals. Netting singles

were Travis Cornwall and Casey Jackson. Church was injured last week in a game against New Westminster. The 2010 Minto Cup MVP was playing just his second game after scoring six times in his 2011 season debut. “He’s probably the best floor general in the game,” Adanacs general manager Ken Wood said. “We’re not happy to lose him, but we’ll weather the storm and use this as a rallying cry.” The PoCo Saints, meanwhile, collected their second victory of the season, edging Burnaby 119 last Friday. Jimmy Delaney scored four times, while Nash Harrison and Danton Nicholson potted a pair each. Sharing the goaltending duties while combining for 32 saves were netminders Garrett Span and Carson Michaud. The next game comes Friday, 8 p.m. at the rec centre when Coquitlam visits PoCo.

Best soccer boys suspended for two years It won’t be three-times the charm for Dr. Charles Best. The senior boys soccer team, which locked up its second straight B.C. championship title last month, was one of three programs handed twoyear suspensions by B.C. High School Sports.

Best and North Delta were issued suspensions after a brawl that erupted following the Coquitlam school’s dramatic 1-0 overtime victory in the B.C. 2010 AAA final in Burnaby. The melee, sparked by a former Best student, saw RCMP called to the field, and

involved players and spectators. The championship was originally scheduled for last November, but was postponed due to weather. Best head coach Alfonso Napoletano couldn’t be reached for comment.

Redtails rise to earn squirt softball B.C. berth Jason Lang/NOW

TWO TO TANGO: A Whitecaps Prospects player battles her North Shore rival for possession during a recent Pacific Coast soccer game. The ‘Caps got goals from Brittany Ambrose, Shayla Chorney and Jacklyn Sawicki last week to beat Surrey 3-1.

The Port Moody Redtails rose to the challenge last week in earning their way to the squirt provincial championships in Kamloops. The district championships began Saturday with a two-game sweep over Coquitlam and Ridge Meadows, outscoring the opposition 43-14 over the two games. In the tournament final, Port Moody and Ridge Meadows were tied after four innings before Ridge put up the deci-

sive runs in an 8-6 victory. As district runners-up, the Redtails also qualify for the July 8 to 10 B.C. tournament. Helping lead Port Moody to the B.C. berth were players Abby Church, Alexa Davis, Lauren Gray, Sophia Jette, Tabitha Kelly, Nicole Pasqualini, Mackenzie Pfoh, Erica Reis, Drew Schluter, Sydney Schluter, Maggy Spence, Kaitlyn Teves and Samantha Tonkin.

Pacific Coast Terminal golfers are already practicing for the 11th annual Port Moody Library Links to Literacy Golf Tournament which tees off Monday, August 29th at Swan-e-set Bay Resort & Country Club. PCT vice-president and general manager, Ken Catton, challenges other local golfers to join in the fun and take on his ace team. “Tee up for literacy,” says Catton. Why not take up the challenge and support a worthy cause? For a tournament entry fee of $170, your day of golf will include green fees, cart rental, lunch on the course, contests, prizes and an evening banquet as well as live and silent auctions. Fun is free and you will help ensure a legacy of literacy for your community. More than 30% of BC’s children start school without the skills they need to succeed. Proceeds from this year’s tournament will be directed towards Links to Language kits with materials in six languages. These kits support literacy for new immigrant families as well as more established families trying to preserve a first language. This is the seventh consecutive year that Pacific Coast Terminals has generously been the event sponsor for the Links to Literacy tournament. Other major sponsors include the Now Newspaper, ScotiaBank, Appia Group of Companies, Brooks Tomchenko Morrison: BTM Lawyers LLP, Onni Group of Companies and Worley Parsons: resources & energy. For more information or to register for the tournament, contact the Port Moody Library at 604-469-4686 or visit the library’s website at www.library.portmoody.ca.
