What is future of learning? Well, it’s personal Learning Without Boundaries is SD43 plan for much-touted ‘personalized learning’ By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

The provincial government may be touting personalized learning but School District 43 is developing its own plan for the future of education, called “Learning Without Boundaries.” SD43 superintendent Tom Grant rolled out the two-year LWB project at Tuesday’s board of education meeting, saying the district needs to figure out how it will teach techsavvy students who want to be in charge of their own learning. The province has been promoting personalized learning to meet the needs of 21st century students through a leadership roundtable called BC Educational Q Here’s a Lear ning Council and is circulating a teen’s pervideo, screened at sonal projthe board meeting, ect: page A6 showing the importance of technology Q How’s our and encouraging students to be excited young peoabout their learning. ple’s health: Grant said cuspage A8 tomized learning is available now and teachers are already using technology- and project-based learning to engage students’ passions. Instead of jumping on the personalized learning bandwagon, SD43 will look more deeply at ways to encourage customized education, he promised. “We will have a system [that will look] very similar but radically different from what we have today,” he predicted. For example, high school students are already using a blend of online and co-op learning, where they gain skills outside the classroom, and some work at home or go to two schools.

Distracted drivers still plaguing roads Factor in nearly half of Metro Van traffic deaths By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
One year after B.C.’s distracted driving ban kicked in, there’s little sign the threat of fines is helping drivers keep their eyes on the road and off their electronic gadgets. “There’s a high percentage of people still using their cellphones whenever they’re driving,” RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said. Police issued 32,000 tickets province-wide since the ban on handheld use of cellphones and similar devices began in February 2010, worth a total of $5.2 million in $167 fines. Distracted driving remained a factor in 32% of all fatal crashes in B.C.’s RCMP-enforced jurisdictions in the past year. In the Lower Mainland, it’s linked to 48% of traffic deaths — a total of 45 people killed by distracted drivers since the new law took effect. That doesn’t necessarily mean a distracted driver who caused a deadly crash was talking on a cellphone or texting. “It means they were doing something that took their eyes off the road,” Chung said. “Looking for a CD on the floor, playing with an iPod or maybe they spilled a cup of coffee and were wiping it up, not watching where they are going.” Playing video games and programming GPS units is also a problem, he said.
BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTO
More than 32,000 tickets worth a total of $5.2 million have been issued province-wide to drivers who use cellphones or similar devices while driving. “The worst thing I’ve seen is people looking down and texting when they’re making a left turn.” Distracted drivers have been hit waiting mid-intersection to turn left when their green light goes yellow and then red. Others stopped at red lights can get rear-ended if the light turns green without them responding.
In addition to the fines, drivers caught texting or emailing also get three penalty points against their insurance. RCMP Traffic Services Supt. Norm Gaumont suggested a review may be needed to examine whether the distracted driving penalties are stiff enough. “If you look at our statistics,
it’s clear the public doesn’t realize just how dangerous it can be if you don’t have your full focus on the road,” he said. Allan Lamb, executive director of the BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation, said it’s “unbelievable” large numbers of drivers still talk and text. He said everyone should rethink their near-
compulsive need to be constantly plugged in and available to employers, friends and family. And he said businesses and organizations with employees who must drive on the job should develop a policy on distracted driving. Enforcement of such policies can be a problem, however, as even ICBC discovered in recent weeks. Private investigators hired by ICBC continued using handheld video cameras while driving to spy on an Abbotsford man suing for damages from a crash. The tactic apparently continued until well into 2010 — after the ban took effect — until a judge criticized the practice and officials vowed it would change. ICBC had long had guidelines requiring all employees and contractors to drive safely and obey traffic laws. Technically, a handheld video camera is not on the list of specifically banned devices, so police could not issue a ticket under the new law, although they could pursue a charge under the Motor Vehicle Act of driving without due care and attention. A policing blitz throughout February is now underway to step up enforcement of the law. Officers will be on the lookout not just for phone and gadget users but also drivers putting on makeup while driving or reading a book or newspaper, even though those are not ticket-able under the new law. Police may be disguised in garb such as business mascot costumes to snare violators. jnagel@blackpress.ca
City hall, Rowland lacrosse Man dies in Coq. blaze box first for heritage registry By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Two city properties are expected to make up the cornerstone of a new heritage registry that will identify historically significant buildings and architecture in Port Coquitlam. PoCo city hall and the Rowland lacrosse box are the first listings in the registry and more properties could be added soon. If council approves the report incorporating the registry, residents with property deemed historically significant could put their names forward for consideration. Owners are encouraged to adhere to heritage standards and may even qualify for financial incentives and certain provisions under the B.C. Building Code, according to a city staff report. In order for a property to be considered for the registry, it must fol-
low guidelines set out by the city, which include: • a request must be made by the property owner; • the property must be listed on the 1985 heritage resource inventory; • and an acceptable statement of significance must be prepared by a qualified heritage professional and submitted in support of the request. A heritage registry is designed to identify and monitor existing heritage structures but does not put any restrictions on a homeowner to change or alter their property, the report stated. The heritage registry is being launched as part of the city’s overall heritage strategic plan, which seeks to identify and preserve Port Coquitlam’s heritage structures. The plan was endorsed by city council, which is now working to implement some of the recommendations outlined in the strategy.

Heritage advocates hope a registry of historic structures in Port Coquitlam will prevent future demolitions of buildings like the Charles Lobb House, which was knocked down in 2009.
One man is dead after fire tore through a mobile home at a trailer park on Cayer Street in Coquitlam Wednesday morning. Coquitlam Fire and Rescue crews arrived shortly after 5:45 a.m. to find a fully involved blaze with flames punching through the home’s roof and many of the windows. “The crew made entry and pulled the occupant from the building,” said fire chief Tony Delmonico. “[BC Ambulance paramedics] worked on him but, unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries from smoke and heat.” The first report of a fire came from a neighbour and the department quickly dispatched three engines and a truck company. Delmonico said crews were able to see the flames’ glow in the sky from as far away as the Austin Heights neighbourhood as they headed to the scene. The deceased man was 65 years old; no other injuries or fatalities

RCMP and fire investigators are still combing the area and a cause has not yet been determined. “At this time, we have no indication of foul place,” said Const. Kristina Biro. “And right now, nothing about the fire looks suspicious. It seems it was just a tragic accident.” The name of the dead man is not being released until the next of kin are notified of his death.

Computers and technology will play a major role in the future of personalized learning under School District 43’s Learning Without Boundaries initiative.
‘We want to be in the forefront,’ says SD43 chair continued from front page
More of this flexibility is in store for the future. But the district still needs to have a blueprint to guide its way through these changes, he said. While there will still be teachers and buildings in the future, educators will likely have more flexibility in how they teach and, instead of 300-page curriculum guides, they’ll have 10 pages of learning outcomes to achieve and students will have a lot more say in how and when they learn. Board chair Melissa Hyndes is among those working on the LWB framework. The Por t Moody trustee said the board of education, teachers and students, as well as parents and administrators, will be looking into structures and strategies for implementing new trends in education. The last time the district undertook such a broad goal-setting agenda was 10 years ago, she said, and she welcomed the opportunity to work with stakeholders on a plan for what education will look like for the next decade and beyond. Hyndes said the group will look at pilot projects that have already been successful and identify

some trends for the future. Some of the new developments the group will look at will include the role of technology, and how to pay for it. “There are all these amazing things that are going on in the province and we want to be in the forefront,� she said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Heritage Woods student shines light on homeless By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Reading, writing and arithmetic are mainstays in schools but a course at Heritage Woods secondary is adding an increasingly popular subject to the list: social responsibility. An independent directed studies program encourages students to come up with their own way of giving back to their community. Whether it be through an environmental initiative or a homelessness awareness campaign, the course sets out to change some of the perceptions surrounding young people today. Danielle Mor neau, an IDS student, said she wants the community to know that most youth care about the world around them and are more than just Facebook-updating Xbox gamers. “I find it alarming that, as students, people think we can’t do anything,” she said. “We can make a difference.” The 17-year-old student plans on doing her part, organizing an event on Sunday, Feb. 13 she hopes will raise money and awareness of the homelessness issue in the Tri-Cities. Light Up the Night will take participants on a 30-minute walking tour of Port Coquitlam in an effort to showcase the difficulties homeless people face. Proceeds will go toward a shelter planned for 3030 Gordon Ave. in Coquitlam but Morneau said she hopes the event will give the public a better understanding of the issue. “We have to realize this is not just in Vancouver, this is not just in Port Coquitlam,” she said. “If you look, you can find homelessness in each community.” So far, 50 people have
registered to participate in the walk and more are signing up at www.lightupthenight.ca. Some of the participants include Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart and Coun. Selina Robinson as well as PoCo Mayor Greg Moore. Morneau said she is committed to the homelessness cause and would likely be organizing an event even if she wasn’t in the independent directed studies class. Still, receiving high school credit is an appreciated reward for her hard work, she said. Tara Olchowy, her IDS teacher, said students come in to the course with a variety of different ideas for community initiatives. “The idea is to foster that feeling of social responsibility,” she said. “Many of the students have shown an interest even before coming into the course.” One student, Olchowy said, is busy organizing a fashion show that will feature clothing made entirely out of recyclable materials, with all of the proceeds from the event to be donated to various green-oriented charities. Another g roup of students is holding information sessions with middle school students in the community in order to teach younger people about the importance of philanthropy. “We have 30 students doing this and all of them are working on projects of this type,” Olchowy said. “There is a range of ideas.” • Light Up the Night will star t at Leigh Square on Feb. 13. Registration begins at 7 p.m. and the walk is set to take place at 7:30 p.m. For more information, go to www.lightupthenight.ca, search “Light Up the Night” on Facebook or visit www. twitter.com/Lightup_ night.

By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A new study has found that while B.C. youth are more active today than kids were a decade ago, more is not always better where physical activity and a healthy lifestyle are concerned. That’s because of a direct correlation between heavy involvement in sports and heavy use of alcohol and chewing tobacco among older teens. The annual report f r o m Va n c o u v e r ’ s McCreary Society found that youths 17 and older — especially boys — who participated in athletics four or more times per week were more likely to have tried alcohol and chewing tobacco and were more likely to have recently engaged in binge drinking than those who played sports only once a week or less. It’s a risk factor that Terry Fox Ravens football coach, and former BC Lions player, Tom Kudaba said he has seen at all levels of the game. Participants in elite sports often split them-
THE TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
A new study has found that teens — especially boys — who participate in sports more than four times per week were more likely to have tried alcohol and chewing tobacco. selves into two camps, Kudaba wrote in an email to The Tri-City News: those who avoid toxins such as alcohol and tobacco in order to perform at their physical peak and those who are “led astray by the culture of the team.� “If the culture of the team is dominated by the traditions of negative influences, then those types of players will play along,� he said, adding that it’s up to each athlete to decide
which camp he or she falls into. But where do these ne g ative traditions come from and why must young athletes choose between “belonging� and their health? Annie Smith, McCreary Society director and a co-author of the report, told The TriCity News that some of the blame for popularizing binge drinking and chewing tobacco among youths lies with some professional athletes in
sports such as baseball, football and hockey who tend to espouse a party lifestyle as part of the game at those higher levels. It’s up to the coaches and team leaders in youth sports to combat these stereotypical behaviours, Smith said. “We saw much better injury-prevention behaviour among the kids who are heavily engaged in sports — they’re more likely to wear a helmet, more likely to wear a seatbelt — so, clearly, they’re getting those messages,� Smith said. “So if we could sort of give the same messages for alcohol and chewing tobacco, then I think we’d be onto a winner because definitely young people look up to coaches.� Kudaba added that while negative traditions such as consumption of drugs and alcohol in elite sport have seemingly always existed, as a coach, he does not see it as a growing problem. “As a high school coach, I would say that my sense is that some players have drunk too much, have taken
performance-enhancing medications and chewed tobacco. Are they doing these vices more than ever before? Percentage-wise I probably think the numbers are no different than my era,� he said. “Did we drink beer? Smoke? Take drugs? Some did and most didn’t... I certainly had a few beers but not because of sports but because of teenage life.� Despite the concerns, in all other facets of teenage life, physical activity reaps a bounty of physical, mental and emotional rewards for participants, the McCreary study found. Better eating and sleeping habits, fewer instances of suicide or self-harm and clearer problem-solving abilities were just a few of the stated benefits of athletics in the report, which compared physical activity levels among 29,000 B.C. youths from 1998 to 2008.

From RAK to RAC, kids do good one kind act at a time Students’ acts of kindness reach their peers, younger children and seniors, too By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
They are an army for goodness — groups of students carrying out acts of kindness and brightening the days of Tri-City seniors, adults and young people just to show they care. It has been six years, since RAC — formerly Random Acts of Kindness now Real Acts of Caring — spread like wildfire in School District 43, resulting in thousands of cookies, candies and flowers, cups of tea and toys for shelter animals being given away. And Har riette Chang, whose Central elementary school students got the movement started with letters to Port Coquitlam council in 2005, is amazed at how RAC has grown. “I can’t believe how contagious this has been,” said Chang, who said students are now doing kind acts all year, not just during RAC week in February. In the years since it began, RAC has spread to other SD43 elementary schools as well as middle schools and high schools, and may soon spread to the Surrey school district. The students have received a lot of media coverage because of RAC, including television appearances and stories in the local papers. They will be on TV again Feb. 17 and have been making the rounds of school board and local city councils to promote RAC. In 2009, the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce’s Newsmaker of the Year award (sponsored by The Tri-
City News) was given to RAC students for their good works. Chang said the buy-in from local teachers, students and parents has been inspirational and students are coming up with a lot of different ways to be kind to others. At Pitt River middle school, a dozen girls cut their hair last June and donated it to be made into wigs for cancer patients; Maple Creek students have been having tea and lunch with residents of Dufferin Care Centre. It’s probably urban legend by now how the Maple Creek kids raised money and used some of it to buy drinks for people at a local Starbucks. When people behind them saw what happened, Chang said, they started buying each other Starbucks drinks. “It was amazing,” Chang said. “Our kids triggered that.” Being good isn’t their only motivation, Chang said, noting the students get something from RAC, too. “Once they realize how good it feels, they just want to keep doing it.” Now some high school students want RAC to go community-wide. A Group of Grade 9 girls, among the original crop of Central students who started RAC, called on SD43 trustees to support a service day next February. “We want RAC to be a normal part of everyone’s lives,” said students Cassandra Stepian, Charmaine Cheng, and Fiona Lee during the presentation (Nicole Dziarmaga was ill but was also part of the lobbying group). This year, RAC week will be held from Feb. 13 to 20 and a poster is being circulated throughout SD43 schools to promote it. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Q WHAT WE THINK:
L
ast Wednesday, tens of thousands of British Columbians, including Tri-City residents, students and workers took cover in The Great British Columbia ShakeOut, the largest earthquake drill in Canadian history. When the clock struck 10 a.m. Jan. 26, men, women and children made a dive for their desks, grabbed hold of something sturdy and covered their heads and necks. When the 60-second drill was over, they made sure everyone was accounted for. Did the ShakeOut rock the world? No, but it was a good reminder that quakes can happen and when they do, it’s best to be prepared. Imagine having to do without heat, light and power — and, possibly, medical help — for 72 hours. That’s what could happen in any disaster, and B.C. is due for a quake, experts say. So it makes sense to have a plan in place just in case the Big One does rock our world.

Is there something to ‘tiger mom’ approach? AS I SEE IT Tara McIntosh
S
he said the S-word — strict — and now parents all over North America are sending her nasty emails. And that’s not all. In one short week, since her memoir Battle Hymn of the Tiger Motherr hit book shelves, Ivy League lawyer and mother Amy Chua has been vilified for the Chinese mothering tactics she uses to raise her children. For instance, she writes that she once called her daughter, “garbage,” has her children practise piano and violin for hours on end, threatened her youngest with no supper or birthday party if she didn’t perfect a musical piece and nixes play dates, television and sleep-overs. Tough? I’ll say. Strict? You bet. Control Freak? Probably.
Horrible? Not necessarily. Once you get past the provocative book cover and actually read all 229 pages of Tiger Mother (instead of jumping on the bandwagon of sound bites from tabloid TV), you’ll find that Chua’s book is more about merging the best of two cultures (American and Chinese) and loosening the reins, if even just a bit, after her rebellious daughter Lulu blows up at her controlling mother on a family trip to Russia. And although critics across North America take turns jabbing Chua’s parenting style — I certainly cringed — I actually found her to be not only an interesting person but just a little inspiring too. Why? Well, with TV shows such as the upcoming racy Skins and Jersey Shore gracing children’s free time, juvenile crime having doubled since 1980, more instances of vicious bullying and the increased use of OxyContin amongst teenagers, I believe our children could use at least some Tiger Parenting.
TRI-CITY NEWS [CCAB AUDITED CIRCULATION 53,146 (MARCH 2009)] 1405 Broadway St., Port Coquitlam, B.C. V3C 6L6 telephone: 604-525-6397 • fax: 604-944-0703
In fact, when interviewed recently for Maclean’ss magazine, Chua said, “Immigrant parents are horrified by the many aspects of Western parenting: How quickly they let children grow up [think lingerie for 10-yearolds], how much time they let them waste [video games and Facebook over homework and reading], g and how poorly they prepare them for the future [“Of course, you’re good at everything! And if your teacher doesn’t give you an A, we’ll sue.”]. ” “My job,” Amy tells her children, “is to prepare you for the future, not to make you like me” — a concept that’s still hard to grasp for BFFPs (best friends forever parents). At the end of the day, while I love my Western ways, taking a stricter approach with our kids in a culture that doesn’t always have their best interests at heart isn’t a bad idea. And although I don’t want to idealize the way Chua raises her children (even her husband and once-strict parents told her to
mellow out) we certainly can’t glorify our culture’s way of raising kids either. Extreme parenting of any sort isn’t the answer and the truth is North Americans can be just as permissive as a Tiger Mother is strict. So what’s the solution? I think the answer to this controversy is the old cliché of balance (a yes with a no; a hug with discipline; homework first, then video games) and boundaries (if your kids don’t hate you sometimes, you’re not doing your job, but if they hate you all the time, that’s not good either). Now, to North American parents: It seems that not a day goes by that we aren’t inundated with some new study on how to raise our kids, some new parenting trend or some new philosophy that could, if we let it, drive us absolutely mad. You want to hear my solution to that? “Pilates and wine.” Amy Chua says Western parents like things like that. Tara McIntosh is a Port Moody resident.

FACE TO FACE: Should Canada negotiate with the U.S. on border security?
Increased security would help us all T
his being the season when many of our recently-retired friends transform themselves into snowbirds and migrate south for some thawing-out in Arizona and California, it seems a fine time to look at the state of U.S.-Canada relations. Specifically, we’re examining whether it’s a good idea for the folks in Ottawa to work with the Americans to establish a “security perimeter” around our two countries. The New Guy on the Other Side of the Page shares the reflexive anti-Americanism of the NDP in opposing the private talks now underway between the two governments. But he also ends up in the same prickly camp as Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff, who has publicly worried that Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservatives cannot be trusted to stand up for Canada’s sovereignty. Coming from such a renowned Yankee Doodle Dandy as Ignatieff, this is more than a rich. I would call it hypocritical because if any of the major party leaders has shown himself to be in possession of an overabundance of pro-American feelings, it’s the Grits’ boss himself. Which raises the question: Should Canadians trust Ignatieff, rather than Harper, to deal with the Americans? After all, it was
Ignatieff who, in his previous life as a globe-trotting academic and broadcaster, once indirectly referred to himself as an American; was initially a strong supporter of the Bush administration’s invasion of Iraq; wrote approvingly of the U.S.’s “global hegemony, whose grace notes are free markets, human rights and democracy;” and even embraced the Bush administration’s use of indefinite detentions and coercive interrogation techniques to fight international terrorism. Listen, I’m not saying Ignatieff was necessarily wrong in taking any of these positions; I’m only pointing out that when it comes to trusting leaders, Harper has at least been more consistent in displaying a friendly attitude towards the U.S. Exactly where the leader of the opposition now stands is anyone’s guess. Finally, then, there’s the question of whether the security perimeter is a good idea. I say it is because it would increase security for both countries while also allowing for the freer cross-border movement of goods, services, people and even ideas. And in a world where altogether too many divisions are being drawn, surely more harmony and, dare I say it, international brotherhood is a good thing.

A
ccording to a recently leaked document, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government is secretly negotiating, with the U.S., a “perimeter security agreement.” The agreement reportedly seeks to facilitate “the tight integration of Canadian and American border security bureaucracies.” The idea is that our two countries would work together with equal input, and stop so many bad guys before they even get into either country that if we’re good, we might then be able to open up our borders a bit so that we could all get to Bellis Fair Mall more quickly. So why not risk a little of our sovereignty if the payoff might be quicker access to the U.S.? Canadians shudder when they hear Canada is negotiating with the U.S. about anything. We always get taken to the cleaners. Softwood lumber. The stealth bomber “negotiation.” The surrender of our energy and climate policy. Dropping our Afghanistan 2011 exit strategy at the behest of the U.S. Canadians don’t negotiate with the U.S., we capitulate. With this dismal record of negotiating with our southern neighbours, the same shrewd bunch is
now secretly negotiating “perimeter border security”? Hillary Clinton, Janet Napolitano, Sharron Angle and others still think the 9/11 terrorists “entered the U.S. from Canada” rather than from Boston’s Logan airport, their actual entry point. Given this kind of thinking, will Canadian and American negotiators come up with a plan that will involve the U.S. adopting Canadian border practices? Not on your Nellie. You can bet, however, that Canadian border practices will stiffen to meet American needs. Let’s not negotiate our customs officers into Rambos on the lookout for terrorists who might be hiding in the trunk of granny’s Oldsmobile. We are a sovereign nation and we should make this as clear in this case as we did when Jean Chrétien said we would not be joining the “coalition” in Iraq. You think it takes a long time going down to Seattle Premium Outlets now? Wait until Prime Minister Harper negotiates us into jumping on the American war on terror bandwagon and our customs officers become as paranoid as their American counterparts. “Perimeter security negotiations” will serve only to tie Canada to U.S. foreign policy. No thanks.

A new lease on life, indeed The Editor, Re. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A new lease on life with a donationâ&#x20AC;? (The Tri-City News, Feb. 2). Shortly after I retired in 2009, I found out my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kidney problems had reached the terminal stage. I decided then to volunteer as a donor by getting onto the database for an exchange, should I not be suitable as a direct donor. After my phone call, BC Transplant sent me a long questionnaire to fill in. After review, I then had to undergo a battery of tests: blood type match, antibodies, kidney function, MRI. In order to ensure a successful transplant, no stone is left unturned, and a living donor transplant will only be undertaken if the donor is in good health. Luck would have it that I turned out to be an almost ideal match for
giving a kidney directly to my wife, and also in good health, with good kidney function, which made a donation possible. On June 1, 2010, less than a year ago, we both went under the knife and the transplant was performed. My experience has been as good as can be. I was treated extremely well before and after the operation. The Kidney Foundation paid for a hotel room near Vancouver General Hospital the night before my operation (I had to be at the hospital by 6 a.m.) as well as other incidental expenses. The treatment in the transplant section of the hospital after the removal of one of my kidneys was first class. The removal operation itself is actually quite minor, being performed laparoscopically. I had
the operation on a Tuesday and, by Friday, I was allowed to go home. Within two weeks, I was driving again and, within 4 weeks, I was doing everything as before. Today, eight months after the operation, I feel exactly as before and have absolutely no symptoms hinting that I now live with one instead of two kidneys. Of course, I am now under observation myself to monitor my system but I consider that a positive. Having gone through the experience, I recommend to anybody to volunteer for a kidney donation. Having given a new lease on life to a sick person gives you a feeling beyond any description, particularly if dialysis can be avoided, as was the case with my wife. M. Guenther, Port Coquitlam

What bear education in PoCo? The Editor, Re. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bear sightings increase in 2010, says PoCo reportâ&#x20AC;? (The TriCity News, Jan. 25). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Public education campaigns encouraging homeowners to secure their garbage were not enough to keep the number of bear sightings down in the city of Port Coquitlam last year.â&#x20AC;? In the article, this statement was attributed to Dan Scoones, manager of bylaw services in Port Coquitlam. To the best of my knowledge, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;public education campaignsâ&#x20AC;? con-
sisted of ads in the local papers. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t education but a single aspect of responsible waste management As far as an active education program regarding the many facets of bears â&#x20AC;&#x201D; their habits, their nature and why they do what they do â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it is simply nowhere to be found in Port Coquitlam. In fact, Port Coquitlam only retained the services of a Bear Aware co-ordinator for less than a full season in 2009 and those services were not renewed going forward. Only one of the three Tri-Cities has an ongoing, effective and consis-
tent bear-education program happening and that is Coquitlam, whose city council seems to have realized the importance of educating the public and has had an active program for more than five years. Living in the Tri-Cities, it is prudent and necessary to have an effective bear-education program. When are all of the local councils finally going to realize this? If this does not happen, we are doomed to have history repeat itself and end up with another year like 2008, or worse. Philip Warburton, Port Coquitlam

Ports already feeling pains of possible strike
ring up more industry uncertainty with reckless comments. “Irresponsible brinkmanship on the part of the BCMEA has brought us to this point,” Dufresne said. “In spite of the fact that the BCMEA continues to prefer conflict over compromise, the ILWU remains ready to enter into a reasonable settlement.” Port Metro Vancouver chief operating officer Chris Badger said he remains hopeful the two sides can reach an agreement without job action. “Any perception by the customers that the reliability of the gateway is under threat will have an impact on the reputation of the gateway,” he said. The last time port operations were disrupted was in 2005 when container truckers struck for six weeks. jnagel@blackpress.ca
Cargo diverting as longshoremen threaten to walk By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
Cargo shipments are already diverting to U.S. terminals in anticipation of a potential strike by longshoremen that would shut down B.C. port operations. Thousands of wo rke r s w i t h t h e International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada (ILWU) held a strike vote this week. The results aren’t yet tabulated and the earliest workers could be on strike is next Monday — when a 21-day cooling off period ends — if 72-hour strike notice is issued this week. But B.C. Maritime Employers Association spokesman Greg Verdula said its 62 member shipping firms and terminals here are already feeling the impacts as customers send s h i p m e n t s t h ro u g h other U.S. ports. “It’s causing significant cargo diversion to U.S. west coast ports,” he said. “The mere mention of labour uncertainty causes cargo to begin to divert and with irresponsible actions like this, that uncertainty intensifies.” Verdula said some big Canadian carriers are already sending at least half their cargo through Seattle-Tacoma instead of local terminals and they’re aiming to boost that to 100% by early next week. A walkout would shut all international shipping through Port Metro Vancouver, including Deltaport and Fraser Surrey Docks, as well as other B.C. ports such as Prince Rupert. Most domestic shipping between points on the B.C. coast would likely be unaffected. Verdula estimated a shutdown would affect 72,000 workers in B.C. and cause vast economic damage. He said the employer group is disappointed the union opted to take a strike vote even though the two sides are in federally mandated mediation. “In today’s struggling economy and fragile recovery, we consider their actions to be absolutely irresponsible.” If workers do walk, they likely won’t stay

Fears of potential strike that could shut down B.C.’s port operations has many companies diverting their cargo to points in the United States. Port workers could be on strike as early as Monday, when a 21-day cooling off period ends. out long. The federal government historically legislates port workers back to work within a week in such cases. But the union might opt to wait some time to issue 72-hour notice and use the lingering threat of a strike to disrupt
business. Verdula said that underscores the BCMEA’s position that there should be a method for going directly to binding arbitration to avoid any spectre of a strike crippling the strategic Asia-Pacific gateway. The ILWU has said
that would run contrary to its collective bargaining rights. The Canadian Industrial Relations Board last month ruled in favour of the union, rejecting the BCMEA’s claim the ILWU was bargaining in bad faith. ILWU president Tom
Dufresne stressed the strike vote doesn’t mean job action will ensue, adding the two sides are
slated to resume talks Monday. He accused Verdula and the BCMEA of stir-

PoMo waiting on approval for its fire hall vote Provincial authority must give OK for vote on borrowing $16M By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini is keen to get the ball rolling on a vote for a new fire
hall but said Thursday there is no timeframe for holding the vote. Last week, the city of Port Moody submitted an application to the Inspector of Municipalities in Victoria asking to hold a residents’ vote on whether the city should borrow $16 million from the province to replace the current fire hall building on Ioco Road.
The inspector’s office confirmed it received the application by last Friday and would look at whether the city has the assets to cover the loan before giving its approval. A spokesperson at the inspector’s office told The Tri-City Newss the approval process could take as long as the inspector wants but is usually resolved in a matter of weeks. If the vote is approved, the city has 80 days
from the time of approval in which it must hold the referendum. “We hope that it’s done as quickly as possible and we expect a prompt response so that we can plan the referendum,” Trasolini told The Tri-City News, adding that the city is already working to get out the vote if and when the time comes. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

From Coquitlam to Kenya, sporting goods travel far Students look to raise $5,000 for sister school in Kenya, Africa By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Kenya may be thousands of miles away but it’s close to home for Coquitlam Maillard middle school. Maillard has a sister school in Kenya called Shikokho primary school and students here say they’re developing an emotional bond with the teenagers in the east African country. They’ve written to the students and received responses. They also raised $3,500 for sports equipment and school supplies last year and when they saw photos and a video of the Shikokho students wearing new soccer jerseys and kicking around the balls they sent, they were surprised at how good it felt to give the Kenyan kids an experience that many North American children take for granted. “I think it’s very important to communicate with people who need our help,” said Jesika Kula, one of the students involved in the fundraising effort. “It’s cool we can connect with kids who are so far away,” said Claire Bouvier. Last year, the students held a sport-athon to raise funds for the school and the students will do so again next Thursday, Feb. 10. They’ll spend a sleepless night doing sportsrelated activities as a way to have fun while also raising $5,000 for their sister school. “It’s a good cause. It goes to people who could use the stuff and it feels good to be helping out,” said Stephen Wynnyk, who is in Grade 8. The students were touched to see in a video how much the Kenya students appreciated the soccer equipment they sent. The video showed students playing soccer with the 35 donated soccer balls and wearing their new jerseys donated by the Maple Ridg e spor ts clothing store First Touch Soccer. “It was like Justin Bieber showed up,” is how teacher sponsor Christine Hilliard described the reaction of the Shikokho students when the school’s contact, Ashley MacMillan,

vate donations will be used to improve sports facilities at the school and make the building safer.
As well, Hilliard and four other Maillard teachers — Arun Angl, Stanley Yuen, Tracy Hall and Tommy Nguyenher — will fly to Kenya on their own dime during spring break to help with grading the soccer field, replacing windows, fixing floors and building a basketball court. The teachers also plan to bring 16 boxes of donated books with them to distribute to students; those will c o m p l e m e n t s ch o o l supplies already sent to Kenya. This is the second year of a three-year project and Hilliard said it has been important for the students to see the results of their fundraising rather than simply handing over a cheque. Besides, the Maillard kids are happy to have some new friends, even though Kenya is still a long way away. • To d o n a t e t o Maillard middle school’s sport-a-thon, email teacher Christine Hilliard at chilliard@ sd43.bc.ca newsroom@tricitynews.com

Flock of students spurs building Full-day kindergarten boosts enrolment By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The rush is on to add space to Coquitlam and Port Moody schools before School District 43 enrols 2,000 kindergarten students for full days in September. Eleven per manent modular buildings are under construction and contractor Shelter Industries of Aldergrove is expected to start delivering the classrooms to Tri-City school sites in May. Construction is also starting on $4.4 million worth of classroom additions for Bramblewood and Aspenwood elementary schools to relieve pressure from increasing enrolment and new students expected in September. Bramblewood will receive three new classrooms, one for kindergarten and two for elementary students, that will add 20 full-day kindergarten and 50 elementary student spaces to the school. Port Moody’s Aspenwood, meanwhile, will receive six new classrooms, three for full-day kindergarten and three for elementary students, that will add 60 full-day kindergarten and 75 elementary student spaces to the school. Much of the paperwork and site planning for the new modular buildings has already been done and SD43 is waiting for building per mits. But getting
SUBMITTED GRAPHIC
Starting this spring, modular buildings like these will be assembled at seven elementary schools in Port Moody and Coquitlam to accommodate increased enrolment from the second phase of full-day kindergarten. buildings can be maneuvered into place. At Coquitlam’s Eagle Ridge, for example, a 10foot retaining wall will have to be built to shore up the site and a new parking lot built. Modular classrooms are also coming to Lord Baden Powell, Alderson, Mountain Meadows and Riverview Park elementary schools, in addition to Eagle Ridge and Rochester. As well,
the modular buildings, which are 40% larger than traditional portables, on to school properties won’t be easy. Gary Holtz, the district’s assistant director of capital projects and planning, told trustees at a board of education meeting Tuesday that elementary schools such as Eagle Ridge and Rochester will need extensive site preparation before the modular
Glenayre elementary in Port Moody will get three modular classrooms while an existing portable will be demolished.
WOOD FINISH
District officials got a sneak peek at the new modular buildings in December and Holtz said they are sturdier and have better insulation and more windows than typical portables; other features include
washrooms, storage space, communication links to the school, rolling shutters, high-quality flooring and wood finishing. It will cost $4.6 million for site development and construction for the modular buildings, funds approved by SD43 trustees in a capital project amendment bylaw and paid for by the province. The new construction is part of a $144-million investment in new classroom space to accommodate full-day kindergarten in B.C. Se ptember marks the second phase of full-day kindergarten. Approximately 900 kinderg ar ten students, about half of those enrolled, are already in full-day K classes in SD43 where there isspace to accommodate them. In September, all kindergarten students will be in class for a full day, although some may be gradually introduced to the longer day as their parents see fit.

B
ooks, bellydancing and The Big Game are three great reasons to stay indoors and out of the rain this weekend. But in case you want more, here’s what’s happening in and around the Tri-Cities.
TODAY: Friday, Feb. 4 COMEDY ON THE ROAD
Becky’s New Car: Finding the On-Ramp to Happiness is a comedic joyride about leaving daily routines in the dust and racing down life’s unpredictable turns and blind corners. And that’s exactly what Becky does when a dashing millionaire becomes suddenly smitten with her at the car dealership where she works. But when the hot pursuit reaches a fork in the road, Becky’s faced with more than one tough decision. The show runs Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam) with an additional 4 p.m. show on Saturday. Tickets are $10 and are available online at evergreenculturalcentre.ca or at the ECC box office.
BY SEUSS! A MUSICAL
A creative interweaving of some of the most beloved tales from children’s storyteller Dr. Seuss, Seussical the Musical, takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Centennial secondary school (570 Poirier St., Coquitlam). A cast of more than 40 Centennial theatre students, plus musicians and crew, have been working since October to emulate the characters from The Cat in the Hat, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Horton Hears a Who! Tickets for the shows are $13 in advance and $15 at the door for adults, and $10 in advance and $15 at the door for students. For more information, call Centennial school at 604-936-7205.

Starting at 7 p.m., this free event will feature local musicians and a no-obligation collection box for donations of cash and children’s items like puzzles, toys, educational DVDs and CDs. The money raised will be used to buy a stereo and a new computer for the school as well as to ship the donated items to the Philippines at a cost of $100 per box. The more money that’s raised, the more they can send. For more information about the event and to get involved in the cause, call 604-931-8765.

What’s the greatest gift of all? Well, it isn’t apples PASTOR’S PERSPECTIVE Barry Buzza
F
armer Brown was enjoying a quiet rest in his home when he heard loud arguing outside. He went to his backyard and stood back a bit to listen. It was his sheep (I called him Shawn), cow (Cassie) and apple tree (Annie) debating who was the best. Annie was bragging about her fruitful display of big red apples. Cassie was adamant that her milk was better than Annie’s fruit. And Shawn was insisting that neither of them could produce a wool coat as lovely as his — surely he was the greatest of the three. After silently observing for a while, Farmer Brown walked up to his apple tree, cow and sheep and kindly counselled them: “I’ve been listening to you each describe what you produce and, indeed, growing apples, milk and wool are all wonderful gifts, but I’d like to tell you something that’s even better than producing apples, milk or wool.” Annie, Cassie and Shawn listened intently. Finally, Shawn asked, “What could be better than what each of us does so well?” “The answer may surprise you but the truth is that giving away what you produce is really the secret of happiness, not keeping it for yourself.” There was a stunned silence that followed for a minute but finally Annie spoke up: “That’s ridiculous! How could I be happier if I gave all my apples away? They’re my apples — I made every one of them!” Shawn and Cassie agreed. So Farmer Brown left it at that. As he walked away, he smiled and said, “You’ll see.” It was very early the next morning that Farmer Brown was awakened by loud mooing. Of course he knew what was happening — Cassie the cow was in the barn crying loudly because her udder was bursting full of milk. “What’s wrong?” Farmer Brown asked Cassie. “My udder is so full of milk, it’s hurting me! Please take my milk and give it to the children!” With a grin on his face, the old farmer milked his very relieved cow. “Now I understand,” sighed Cassie. “You’re right, it does feel better to give something away then to keep it for myself.” When Shawn and Annie heard what had happened to Cassie, they just shook their heads. They still didn’t get it. It was only a short time later, in late August, that Farmer Brown was again awakened by loud sobbing. Outside, he found Annie very upset — and rightfully so. “All my apples are falling to the ground. They’re getting bruised and worms are eating holes in them!” “So what do you think I should do Annie?” “Please pick my apples before I lose them all and give them to the children!” You’ve no doubt guessed the rest of the story, and understand a little bit better the point of my children’s lesson.
It was in the early spring that Shawn finally caught on. Farmer Brown found him bleating loudly one rainy spring day. It was both funny and pathetic to see poor Shawn. He was upside down, caught in a hollow in the field — four little feet were flaying in the air but the sheep could not turn his overweight body upright because his wool was thick and heavy with rainwater. “Please, Farmer Brown, will you sheer my wool, so it can be made into coats for the children?” At last, all three understood that it’s more blessed to give than to receive.

The inaugural meeting of the Coquitlam R iv e r Wa t e r s h e d Roundtable has been scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 19 at the Victoria Park hall in Coquitlam. The roundtable will co-ordinate and implement activities that will promote the long-term sustainability of the watershed based on a common vision and values. Interested members of the public are invited to come to the meeting and talk about their priorities for the Coquitlam River watershed. The meeting will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; displays and information, as well as coffee and pastries, will be available from 9 a.m. and lunch will be provided. Victoria Hall is located at 3435 Victoria Dr., in northeast Coquitlam. There is no fee to attend. You can register by calling Dave Peterson, CRW meeting co-ordinator, at 604-677-2759. The Coquitlam River Watershed Roundtable is a new, collaborative body open to those in all sectors of interest who share the agreed-upon values and vision of the watershed.Governments and government agencies will participate but the roundtable will be an independent entity, not under government direction. The roundtable will not, however, have authority to make decisions that are the jurisdictional or legislative responsibilities of governments. The types of activities the roundtable might undertake, given the resources, include co-ordinating monitoring efforts, preparing a plan for the watershed, sponsoring educational events, or working towards consensus on issues that affect the watershed. With its broadbased membership, the roundtable will gain credibility through its actions over time and become an important voice in support of a healthy watershed. It is also likely to reduce conflict and make decisionmaking based on shared values of the watershed more efficient. The inaugural meeting of the Coquitlam R iv e r Wa t e r s h e d Roundtable is an important milestone in a community planning process that began four years ago.

B.C. businesses now have some extra incentive to hire young people thanks to a new pilot program aimed at bolstering youth employment. U n d e r t h e Yo u t h Skills BC Workplace Pilot Program, employers can apply for $2,000 for training to hire young people between the age of 15 and 29. An additional $1,000 is available to purchase training programs for the youth, according to Gail Finnson, of Bowman Employment Services which is administering the program for the province. The program is expected to assist approximately 650 unemployed youth in B.C. to upgrade
their workplace skills. Finnson said hiring inexperienced youth can be costly to employers but the incentive will go along way to enabling businesses to hire the people they want. “I think it’s going to be (good for) any kind of employer — any that can see the value of having that $2,000 to bring that person on board,” Finnson said, adding that the program is targeting youth who are not on unemployment insurance. “It’s going to help them, it’s like something extra in their tool box,” she said about the training.

Singing of love and speeding tickets By Mario Bartel BLACK PRESS
Trudy Zonneveld has seen people react with glee, bewilderment, shock and even embarrassment to her singing. But she never thought it would help her get out of a speeding ticket. Zonneveld is a member of the Westcoast Harmony Chorus and every Valentine’s Day for the past 22 or 23 years, about half the group is divided into quartets to deliver musical messages of love and devotion all across Metro Vancouver. The singing telegrams are the group’s major annual fundraiser, helping cover the costs of coaching, music and costumes. It was while running late to one of those appointments when Zonneveld’s quartet was pulled over for exceeding the speed limit in a school zone. As the driver was explaining the situation to the officer, the group broke into song. Bemused and delighted, the officer even called over his partner to share the show. The quartet got off with a warning. Over the years, Westcoast Harmony Chorus quartets have performed in classrooms, construction sites, a high school gym class, the wrestling room at Simon Fraser University, offices, private homes, hospitals, beside train tracks in North Vancouver, even a wrecking yard. One group delivered a particularly moving Valentine to a patient in palliative care. He could no longer eat so he couldn’t enjoy chocolates, explained Jackie Baron, and flowers would likely have outlasted him; a singing love message was the best way his partner could think of showing him her gratitude for all their years together. While every member of the chorus is an accomplished singer, each of the Valentine’s quartets must audition to ensure their harmonies mesh. “We pride ourselves that when we sing to

Recipients also get a rose, a chocolate treat and a personal message from their beloved. A singing Valentine costs $50. It can also be delivered by phone for $25. The quartets are on the road on Feb. 14 from 7 a.m. to
as late as 11:30 p.m., from West Vancouver to Abbotsford. They’re dispatched from a central “war room” that co-ordinates the bookings to keep the driving as efficient as possible — a quartet can deliver as many as 25 to 30 Valentines.
“It’s so fun and hilarious,” says Zonneveld. “It’s a joy.” • To make a booking right up until Feb. 14, call 604-507-1432 or email shayna.steeves@ modspace.com. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Information & aid for caregivers 5-week program at Wilson Tri-cities Caregivers Connections is offering a five-week program of education and support for caregivers from Feb. 17 to March 17. If you are a caregiver (spouse, adult child, family or a friend) who is providing support to a person 40 or older living in the Tri-Cities and you are feeling overwhelmed and alone, this five-week education and support program is for you. Leila Sinnen, a registered nurse and registered psychiatric nurse, educator and motivational coach, will attempt to give caregivers the tools to feel rejuvenated, informed, inspired and optimistic.
Caregivers will learn to: • accomplish realistic goals; • take charge of their lives; • deal with stress and let go of the guilt and negative thoughts; • communicate more effectively; • laugh together, have fun and much more. The program will run Thursdays, 12:30 to 3:45 p.m. at Port Coquitlam’s Wilson Centre. The fee for all five sessions is $20 and includes lunch. To register, call Wilson Centre at 604-927-7970; early registration is recommended as space is limited. The program is co-sponsored by the cities of Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam and funded by United Way of the Lower Mainland.

Time to talk mental health Simple strategies can help promote better mental health in the workplace Is a colleague withdrawing from interaction or contact around the office? Has someone you work with started missing a lot of deadlines? Is one of your staff calling in sick much more frequently? That someone could even be you. Any of these behaviours could just be the temporary blues, of course. But they could also be signs of a mental health problem that needs to be addressed, according to a Bell Canada press release. Mental illness is the fastest growing cause of disability around the world. The World Health Organization estimates that depression alone impacts 154 million people globally. For Canadians aged 15 to 44, it is the leading cause of disability. That’s difficult for the people involved. But it also takes a toll on the Canadian economy — lost productivity due to mental illness costs more than $50 billion each year. HELP TO GET HELP So, what do you do if you suspect someone you work with is suffering from a mental illness? Too often, people do nothing or even withdraw from contact with people they think may have mental health issues — not because they don’t care but because they simply don’t know what to do. There are things we can and should do, given that early diagnosis and treatment is key to recovery. If someone seems inordinately distracted, is behaving “out of character” or shows other signs of depression or anxiety, be as supportive as you can. If you have a trusting relationship with your colleague, you should talk to them about how they’re feeling. If they indicate they’re depressed, anxious or otherwise under a mental strain, encourage them to get help by talking to a professional. Trust in these conversations is essential. With the unfortunate reality of stigma around mental illness, being able to assure the person their issues

will remain confidential, and that you will not judge, is key. That’s especially true if you supervise the person. You can find out what mental health programs are available in your company by contacting your company’s human resources team.

Denial is putting Canadians at risk
The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s 2011 Report on Canadians’ Health warns that nine out of 10 Canadians are jeopardizing the quality and length of their lives. The Foundation found that many Canadians are in denial about their risk factors for heart disease such as being overweight and being physically inactive — risk factors they can manage and control. Each year, about 250,000 potential years of life are lost in Canada due to cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and other chronic heartrelated conditions. “Canadians know what to do to live healthier, longer lives but there’s a huge disconnect between what we think we are doing to address our risk factors and reality,” Dr. Beth Abramson, cardiologist and spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, said in a press release. “We know that up to 80% of premature heart disease is preventable yet we’re not managing some of the most common and deadly cardiovascular risk factors as well as we think we are.” Only about a third of Canadians polled by the foundation said they are not physically active or don’t eat a minimum of five servings of vegetables and fruit per day. The reality is about half of Canadians don’t meet the physical activity and healthy eating recommendations. “It’s not just years of life that are at stake,” explained Dr. Abramson, “it’s healthy quality years that can be gained. For example, by being physically active, you gain close to four years of life — three of those free of heart disease and stroke.” THERE’S AN APP... To help in those healthy efforts, the foundation has launched the My Heart&Stroke Health app, which is designed to give Canadians an overview of their health and health risks, as well as
tailored action plans for healthier living. It is available for free at mobile app stores for the iPhone, Blackberry and Android devices (classified under “Health & Fitness”) or you can download it at heartandstroke.ca/ mobileapps. If you don’t have a smart phone, you can take the risk assessment online at heartandstroke.ca/risk. The Foundation’s prescription for a healthy lifestyle and more quality years of life is to manage the risk factors that can be controlled: follow a healthy diet, be physically active, know and control your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, maintain a healthy weight, be smoke-free, reduce stress, manage diabetes and limit alcohol consumption. Dr. Abramson also recommends that Canadians ask their healthcare providers to help them reach their goals.

Proper pruning does a garden good IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter
A
fter visiting Japan a few years ago, my perspective on pruning certainly changed. From a country where virtually every ornamental tree is pruned severely, for cultural, artistic and space reasons, we can learn many things about trimming trees. One of our biggest mistakes in landscaping is allowing trees to grow until they become so large they are overpowering. Overgrown trees are difficult to prune back hard and yet still keep them looking attractive. It’s also difficult to prune back new landscape plants, especially when you’re wanting your trees to grow quickly and fill in. I’m afraid, however, it is something that must be done. Many people hesitate to prune an evergreen because they are afraid of ruining the tree. Its shape can certainly be distorted by incorrect pruning, but seldom is the tree destroyed. Experimenting with a few trees in your landscape is one of the best ways to learn, and mistakes can usually be corrected. Armed with a little basic information and common sense, anyone can prune their landscape plants. Timing, however, is everything. The best time to begin pruning most evergreens is now. Evergreens or conifers are the easiest of all trees to prune. Tall growing cedars and cypress can be pruned with quality, sharp two-handed grass shears for light trimming, or with electric or motorized hedge shears for heavy going. Simply prune following the natural shape of the tree. Columnar cedars, such as ‘smaragds’ and ‘pyramidalis’, should be pruned in narrow columns, and trees like Golden Cedars and Green Cypress should be pruned in a little wider pyramidal form for the ultimate effect in a landscape. Their tops can be cut off at any height. Their sides must be sheared yearly to maintain an attractive form. The secret to maintaining good colour and new growth is to prune into the soft wood of last year’s growth. Cutting into the old hard wood
results in rather shaggy-looking trees. Globular shrubs, like Globe Cedars and the beautiful, compact Hetz Midget cedar, should be pruned in the same manner. Ground cover plants, like junipers, should be pruned hard each year to maintain an attractive oval form. So often they are allowed to sprawl unevenly over the ground with huge branches jutting out here and there. When you try to cut back these overgrown plants, it is almost impossible to avoid leaving a woody-looking, unattractive stump. If you find a great deal of ‘browning out’ on your junipers, apply copper spray now to control this problem. All ground covers need an annual trimming when they are young to encourage an even, full and attractive growth pattern. Boxwood and privet hedges need two trimmings a year to keep them looking neat. Prune them now and again the first week in July. Trim rather vigourously, otherwise they will quickly get away on you. To keep your boxwood green, add a little dolomite lime now. Fir, spruce and pine are the exceptions to dormant conifer pruning. Because spruce and fir send out growth from buds that pop in April and May, it is best to prune them after the buds have opened and the new growth has just begun. In doing so, you allow the soft new wood enough time to develop buds for next year’s growth pattern. The same is true for pines. The growth candles at the tip of every branch must sprout and develop before any pruning takes place. Cut the new candles in half when you prune, and it will result in a fuller, more compact plant. Unless you live in a very large landscaped area, all spruce and pines should be pruned narrow and hard to maintain a form that is both appropriate and attractive in smaller landscapes. Dwarf Mugho pines should be pruned in a low dome shape for the most pleasing effect. Over the past 30 years, we’ve learned so much at our gardens about pruning evergreens. One of the most important lessons has been in order to keep the size of trees in proportion to the landscape and to maintain their beauty far longer, they need an annual pruning.

Cats aim to beat Fish – finally By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Moody Black Panthers will need softer hands when they go fishing Saturday to spear the Richmond Sockeyes. The stick-gripping Cats were jolted 2-1 Tuesday by the visiting North Delta Devils, leaving PoMo’s Pacific International Jr. ‘B’ hockey league team with a paltry seven goals in its last three games. In fact, seven goals may not be enough in one contest against the explosive Sockeyes, who’ve struck net 14 times in their last three outings and have lost only five of 39 games this season. Game time is 7:45 p.m. at PoMo Rec Complex. The Cats had numerous op-
portunities to make it back-to-back wins over the Devils, said Black Panthers general manager Ron Luniw, whose team won the first game of a doubleheader 2-1 in overtime last Saturday TAYLOR in North Delta. “In the second period alone [Tuesday], we had, what I counted, seven golden [scoring] opportunities,” Luniw groused. “But when we shot the puck, we didn’t hit the net. Watching guys come off the ice shaking their heads is not the answer. We have to get to the net more and [our players] have to sacrifice their body. “It’s all about putting the puck in the net and finishing. If you don’t put the puck in the net, you’re eliminated in four
games in the playoffs, and they’re coming fast.” The 20-15-6 Cats are down to their final five regular-season games and sit five points back of the Harold Brittain C o n f e re n c e - l e a d i n g Abbotsford Pilots, who appear to have a lock on first place in the five-team race. Luniw said his second-place team is merely looking to get on a roll heading into playoffs, and a victory over the alwayssound Sockeyes –– whom the Cats haven’t defeated in three seasons –– would be a great start. On the bright side, the Cats and goalie Nicholas Taylor have allowed a paltry three markers in their last three con-
tests, two of which were victories. “We’re not giving the puck away as much as we used to,” said Luniw, commending Cats head coach Ron Johnson for working of late at cementing the team’s defensive corps. “He stresses is you can’t play defence, you can’t play –– period.” Jamie Liveley netted the Cats’ lone marker Tuesday, tallying with just 3:24 remaining to spoil Devils goalie Alexander Wind’s shutout bid. Wind finished with 28 saves, while Taylor made 29 stops in a losing cause. Three of the Cats’ final five regular-season games are at home, including a Feb. 12 meeting with the Ridge Meadows Flames.
D e z a r ay H awe s skipped her rink to a gold medal in girls’ curling to lead a 26-athlete Coquitlam contingent at the 5th annual International Children’s (12-15) Winter Games last week in Kelowna. Coquitlam placed 10th among 40 competing cities, including those from Australia, Ger many, Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia, South Korea, Scotland and the U.S. Members of the Hawes team included third Megan Daniels, second Jaymee Lynn and lead Angelique Miller. Almost repeating the feat was the Coquitlam boys’ side skipped by Kyle Habkirk, whose rink earned the silver medal. Team members included third Nicolas DiMarco, second Nicholas Umbach and lead Kento Sato. In girls’ figure skating, Coquitlam’s Larkyn Austman edged out teammate Larrisa Horobec for the bronze. “It really opened their eyes to what is out there and it was obvious that their skills are on par with the international competition,” said Coquitlam Skating Club president Kim Horobec. Also taking part was the Coquitlam Chiefs A2 Bantam hockey unit, which toiled well against squads from Austria, Germany and Ontario. The Chiefs also engaged in a jersey swap with the German team.
Express fall, 5-2 Malcolm McKinney did all he could yet was no match Wednesday for the Surrey Eagles. The 18-year-old forward zipped in a pair of goals but his Coquitlam Express were spilled 5-2 by the Eagles in a B.C. Hockey League contest before 623 fans at the Sports Centre. The loss dipped the Express to 18-23-1-9 and kept them in seventh spot in the eight-team Coastal Conference, five points back of the sixth-place Alberni Valley Bulldogs with a game in hand. Only nine games remain in the regular season for the Express, who face the firstplace Powell River Kings tonight (Friday) at the Sports Centre, 7 p.m. The Express also host the fourth-place Victoria Grizzlies on Saturday in another game crucial in their stretch drive for the playoffs. The Eagles out-shot the Express by a lopsided 42-27 count, with Coquitlam goalie Khaleed Devji blocking 37 shots.

Pipe dream or a plan? TIGHT LINES Jeff Weltz Putting in time key to success
O
ne of the many things I learned in my years as a youth fly fishing club coach is the value of an objective. It is often an objective that can make the difference between a pipe dream and a plan. Some will often talk in fantasy about fishing more often, taking a class, catching a trophy fish, winning a championship or involving the family. Success in these areas of sport fishing goes to the achievers, the people who take the steps necessary to move past daydreaming to doing. This takes time and commitment. Commitment is not a word we like to hear in our busy, mapped-out lives but that is what it takes. People will always find time to do the things they value enough to make priorities. Priorities are placed in order of importance and the less important things are planned around them. What value do you put on your time? Each of us is allotted a specific amount, no more can be added. Success goes to those who make the most of what they are given.

A walk to raise awareness for the homeless Step One Starts Now “I chose this slogan because I not only want to encourage everyone who attends, but I want them to walk away ready to do something with that motivation.” — Danielle Morneau
Light Up the Night is a thirty-minute walk meant to show you where people really live — in the cold and on the ground in your neighborhood. Other local charities will be there to give you more opportunities to reach out to your community. Bring your friends and a rain jacket, and let’s reach out to those around us.
