THE TRI-CITY NEWS
There were sighs of anger in Port Coquitlam court Monday as Cory Sater, the man accused of running down and killing Lorraine Cruz, 26, and Charlene Reaveley, 30, did not appear for his hearing. Sater, 37, of Coquitlam, is facing 10 charges, including two counts of impaired driving causing death and one count of impaired driving causing bodily harm, stemming from a Saturday morning hit-andrun on Lougheed Highway at Pitt River Road. Sater’s lawyer, Tony Serka, appeared on behalf of his client and made the unusual request that Sater not appear before the court but, rather, remain in police custody until March 3, when he will appear by video to set a date for his bail hearing. Brian Reaveley, Charlene’s fatherin-law, said he was disappointed but not surprised Sater didn’t show his face in the courtroom packed with media and friends and family of the deceased. “It’s frankly what I expected. This will be dragged out and his lawyer will do his best to keep it out of the public eye,” he said. “My son has lost his wife and four kids lost their mother. How would anybody deal with this?” “It’s not a good situation,” he added. His daughter-in-law is remembered by friends and neighbours as a loving wife, a mother of four young children and a Good Samaritan who ultimately lost her life while trying to help two strangers. The incident began at approximately 12:25 a.m. Saturday when Lorraine Cruz of Port Coquitlam was driving west on Lougheed with her boyfriend, Paulo Calimahin; their Nissan Pathfinder struck a concrete median near Riverview Hospital. see SATER REMAINS, REMAINS, page 3

Community rallies to help By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Brian Reaveley talks to reporters outside the PoCo courthouse on Monday.
A nickel and about a dozen pennies will be the first donation to a fund set up in Charlene Reaveley’s name. Joe Di Giandomenico, who lives next door to the Reaveley family, said the money came from a sevenyear-old girl who lives in the area and wanted to help the family — father Dan and four young children, grieving the loss of their wife and mother in an accident early Saturday in Coquitlam.
“She took this out of her piggy bank and put everything she had in it,” Di Giandomenico said as he held up a Ziploc bag full of change. “This is the start of the trust fund.” Di Giandomenico said Dan Reaveley, who survived the tragic accident that took the life of his wife and Lorraine Cruz on the weekend, will need money as he begins the process of putting his life back together. “He’s got a lot on his plate,” Di Giandomenico said. “I don’t know any other way to help him out ex-
cept financially because that is what he is going to need.” C h a r l e n e R e av e l e y, w h o worked as a personal trainer, was well-known in the tight-knit Meadowbrook neighbourhood, which sits hemmed between Westwood Street, Lougheed Highway and Dewdney Trunk Road. Di Giandomenico said it was not uncommon for 15 to 20 children to be playing in her yard with her own four children, who range in age from 18 months to 10 years. see ‘WE’RE WE RE DEVASTATED’, DEVASTATED , page 3

Sater remains in PoCo jail continued from front page
GARY MCKENNA/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Joe Di Giandomenico, who lives next door to the Reaveley family, holds a bag of coins that came from a seven-year-old girl who lives in the area and wanted to help the family. A trust fund has been started to help Dan Reaveley and his four children.
‘We’re devastated’ continued from front page
Over the last several years, Di Giandomenico said his daughter became close with the Reaveley family, spending time at the Irvine Street home helping to look after the children. “They have a pool in their backyard,” he said. “With all the kids they would have in their backyard in the summertime, it was organized chaos.” The couple had just returned from Mexico, where they celebrated their wedding anniversary on Valentine’s Day. Di Giandomenico said it was the first time the pair had spent time alone together away from their children and busy household. He encouraged anyone with the means to donate money to support the family, which he said did not have a life insurance policy. The costs of child care and looking after the family home would be tough for Dan, who works at Maple Ridge Chrysler, he said. A photo of Reaveley was placed at the front counter of the Port Moody recreation centre on Tuesday, informing those who took classes with the fitness instructor of her death. She had worked at the facility and at Port Coquitlam’s Hyde Creek recreation centre since 2009,
Dinner to help Reaveleys Tracy Turnell didn’t know Charlene Reaveley but, like many Tri-City residents, she was deeply touched by the news of her sudden death Saturday along with 26-yearold Lorraine Cruz at the hands of a hit-and-run driver. Consumed by the desire to do something for Reaveley’s husband and four young children, Turnell is inviting the community out to a fundraising dinner at Port Coquitlam’s Cat and Fiddle restaurant at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 11. Heather Nohr at the Cat and Fiddle told The Tri-City News Tuesday that Turnell had contacted her just hours before and Nohr immediately offered the services of the restaurant free of charge for the benefit dinner. “Tracy is taking care of donating all of the food,” Nohr said, adding that the two hope to fill the 352-person capacity restaurant for the dinner. “We’re just providing the man-hours.” Tickets for the dinner are $50 and there will also be a silent auction of jewelry, front-row Vancouver Canucks tickets and other items. “One hundred per cent of the proceeds will go to Dan [Reaveley] and the kids,” Turnell said, adding that she hopes to raise $20,000 for the family through ticket sales and auction proceeds. To buy tickets to the dinner, contact Tracy Turnell at 604-941-1163 or the Cat and Fiddle at 604-941-8822. tcoyne@tricitynews.com
teaching spinning classes and holding several morning boot camps. Dave Wasylyk, who lives across the street from the Reaveley family, said the whole neighbourhood has been reeling since news of Charlene’s death spread.
“I haven’t slept in a couple of days,” he said. “Every time I close my eyes, I see her. Everybody has taken it very hard.” Outside the courthouse on Monday, friends and family expressed outrage that Cory Sater, who is facing 10
charges ranging from dangerous driving causing death to impaired driving and failing to stop at the scene of an accident, did not appear before a judge Monday. Instead, his lawyer, Tony Serka, said Sater wished to remain in custody until March 3, when the crown and defence would arrange his bail hearing. Amber Chapman, whose child goes to Meadowbrook elementary with Reaveley’s eldest, said Sater’s decision not to face the families was disappointing. “I think Cory is a coward for not coming out,” she said. “He should come out and face everyone he hurt.” (Sater has not been convicted of the crimes for which he’s charged.) Michael Bennett, Lorraine Cruz’s stepfather, said he, too, was frustrated with Sater’s decision to not face the families. He told reporters outside the courthouse that he feared that the justice system would be too lenient if the accused is convicted. He described his daughter as a beautiful person and said his family still doesn’t understand how the tragedy happened. “We’re devastated,” he told CTV News. “That’s about it. We’re trying to cope. We’re trying to realize that she’s gone.” gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Witnessing the accident, Charlene and husband Dan Reaveley pulled to the side of the road and approached the Pathfinder to find the couple shaken but not seriously injured, according to police. Then, while Dan looked on, a white Jeep Cherokee careened down Lougheed and straight into Charlene R e a v e l e y, C r u z a n d Calimahin, who were standing by the passenger side of the Pathfinder. The two women were killed instantly and CRAIG HODGE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS Calimahin was left with serious injuries to his head A memorial has sprung up and leg while the Jeep drove on the site, near Riverview off and “didn’t slow down,” Hospital, of the crash that took RCMP Staf f Sgt. Mark two lives Saturday. McCutcheon said. Calimahin was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital, where he remained Tuesday. Laurie Case, a witness who came upon the accident about a minute after it happened, said she knew right away that the two women were dead. “I knew even before I got out of the car,” she said. “I went over to [Dan] and I just tried my best to be with him.” She said Dan Reaveley was in severe shock and was moving back and forth between his wife and the injured boyfriend while they waited for BC Ambulance paramedics to arrive. Case said she was “pretty shaken up” by the incident and had been speaking with victims’ services. “The aftermath of something like that is not something anybody should ever see,” she said. “It was violent.” Following up on witnesses’ leads, a white 1995 Jeep Cherokee was located “abandoned in the Cape Horn area” about two hours after the hit and run, McCutcheon said. Police seized the vehicle and ran forensic tests on it Saturday. After publicly appealing for the driver to come forward and turn himself in, police arrested Sater on Sunday. Cory Sater will remain in custody in North Fraser Pretrial Centre in Port Coquitlam; he will appear in PoCo provincial court March 3 by video link to set a date for his bail hearing. Between 2005 and 2009 the intersection of Pitt River Road and Lougheed Highway averaged 71 traffic accidents annually, resulting in an average of 33 injuries per year, according to ICBC statistics. tcoyne@tricitynews.com – with files from Gary McKenna

A Coquitlam councillor says it’s time for the city to ban cosmetic pesticides — and if it doesn’t, she’ll make it a hot topic in November’s civic election race. Coun. Selina Robinson is trying — for the second time — to push through the policy, noting 35 B.C. communities have now taken steps to eliminate such products from store shelves. In May 2009, Robinson brought a motion to council to ask council to gauge public feedback on the topic; however, her motion failed in a tie vote, with councillors Brent Asmundson, Mae Reid, Linda Reimer and Lou Sekora opposing it, citing private property rights and bylaw enforcement concerns. Ye s t e rd ay, M ayo r Richard Stewart told The Tri-City News he plans to vote against Robinson’s motion at the March 7 council meeting as he believes the ban should come from senior levels of government. Robinson argues the city can ban pesticides under the Community Charter and there’s ample evidence the substances are harmful, pointing to documents she has studied from the Canadian Cancer Society. As well, 400 Coquitlam residents have signed a petition to call for a cosmetic pesticide ban, she said. (Port Moody already has a pesticide ban while Port Coquitlam does not.) Robinson’s motion also proposes to have the newly formed environment committee review the ban and suggest ways to implement it.
She said she’s confident her motion will succeed this time around, saying, “I’ve been talking to my colleagues and sharing with them what I’ve been learning. There’s been many more B.C. communities that have done a ban and there’s more examples for us to draw on.� The most recent municipality to take action was Terrace and, in April, Oak Bay will jump on the bandwagon, she said. “I think we’re one of the few Lower Mainland municipalities that haven’t addressed this. “If this doesn’t pass I’m going to make it an election issue,� she said. “It got a lot of support when I went doorknocking last time and I’m prepared to bring

Police seeking identity of woman linked to Pickton

The Missing Women Task Force is seeking the public’s help in identifying a woman whose DNA was found on the farm of Port Coquitlam serial killer Robert Pickton. On Feb. 23, 1995, a partial skull with an attached vertebra was found in a creek by a person filling their water bottle in Mission. The creek was situated just south of Lougheed Highway, about 800 metres east of the Ruskin bridge. Several forensic experts tried to identify her. In August 2002, bones recovered during the search of Pickton’s PoCo property were confirmed to be genetically linked to the partial skull. Investigators worked with a sketch artist from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations to develop a composite drawing based on what was learned from the victim’s skull. The woman’s DNA profile has been provided to every lab across Canada and, along with the composite drawings, has been shared with Interpol and its 188 member countries. This ensures her information is available for comparison by other police agencies with missing person files. The victim is described as a Caucasian woman between 20 and 40 years old. She was missing teeth in the upper right portion of her jaw and might have worn dentures. She would have died between 1985 and 1995. Sgt. Dan Almas with Project Evenhanded — which is investigating a list of missing and murdered women dating back to the early 1980s — said it is possible the woman’s family does not know she is missing or they may assume she was reported missing and there is a file open. “We believe someone out there knows who Jane Doe is and can help solve this mystery. Somebody knew her and her family deserves to know what happened,” Almas said. Anyone with information is asked to call the Missing Women Task Force’s toll-free line at 1-800687-3377. newsroom@tricitynews.com
Police in B.C. worked with international agencies, including the FBI in the U.S., to come up with this composite drawing of a woman whose remains were found in Mission and is believed linked to serial killer Robert Pickton.

Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated, non-toxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy from both superluminous and laser diodes. When placed in contact with the skin, this energy safely penetrates the tissue. At an intracellular level, the light is transformed into biochemical energy. Cells use this energy to repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’s natural healing process.

Search of Roueche’s Coq. condo part of his lawsuit
CITY OF P RT COQUITLAM
By Vikki Hopes BLACK PRESS
Former UN Gang leader Clay Roueche filed a notice of civil claim last Friday against the attorney general of B.C. and the Vancouver and Abbotsford police departments (VPD and APD). Roueche, who last week had his 30-year U.S. prison sentence upheld, claims several police agencies were involved in arranging his “unlawful” arrest in Mexico on May 17, 2008. He claims the Combined Special Forces Enforcement Unit, the Organized Crime Agency of BC, the RCMP, the BC Integrated Gang Task Force, the VPD and the APD breached his rights under the Privacy Act when they informed U.S. authorities of his plans to travel to Mexico for a wedding. This resulted in Roueche being detained upon his arrival in Mexico and refused entry into the country, ensuring he boarded a plane that would land in the U.S., the claim states. The plane was destined for Vancouver but stopped in Dallas, Texas, where Roueche was arrested on a warrant from the Western District of Washington (Seattle). Roueche claims his rights were further breached under the Privacy Act in several other instances. This included when B.C. police provided to U.S. authorities:

He is seeking general, special and aggravated damages, as well as declarations that his Charter rights were infringed. Roueche pleaded guilty in April 2009 to conspiring with others, from 2005 on, to export cocaine from the U.S. to Canada and to import B.C. Bud into the U.S. He further admitted that he conspired with others to transport and deliver the cash proceeds from the illegal drug sales. newsroom@tricitynews.com

No crime committed but cops still issue warning Man in his 50s has approached teenage girls Teenage girls walking to and from school in the Tri-Cities are being warned about an older man stopping or slowing his car to make lewd comments and gestures at them. Port Moody Police issued the alert on Monday after a girl was
approached by the man last Wednesday — the fourth time police have taken a complaint since early January about such allegations. The lewd incidents happened at bus stops and in residential areas in Belcarra, Port Moody and Coquitlam. “It’s just rude, vulgar comments, lots of staring,” Const. Todd Lefebvre of PMPD youth services said. “He makes the girls feel uncomfortable.”

Signature scrutinized at former mayor’s trial THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Jon Kingsbury’s signature came under intense scrutiny in New Westminster Supreme Court last Friday, when the trial of the former Coquitlam mayor on four counts involving the alleged theft of a trailer wrapped up. Crown counsel Brian McKinley alleged Kingsbury attempted to write “Jean Aussant” on a sign-out sheet at the Langley dealership where the RV he took was being worked on. Kingsbury denied he tried to forge the signature, only saying he signed “a” name. “They didn’t ask for ID,” he said. “I just scribbled on the sign-out sheet and left. It wasn’t a major theft or anything.” He said the first letter of his signature, J, is always written the same way, however his last name, Kingsbury, is often scribbled eligibly. When the crown asked whether the first letter of the last name on the sign-out sheet appeared to be an A, Kingsbury said it looked more like a U. “I wasn’t trying to be deceptive,” he said. “I was trying to secure a trailer that I paid for.” Kingsbury’s trial closed last Friday; he is facing charges of theft over $5,000, personation with intent to gain advantage, causing a person to use
a forged document a n d f r a u d ove r $5,000. The charges relate to an incident in the summer of 2008, when Kingsbury was accused of stealing a travel trailer KINGSBURY from a Langley RV by pretending to be the owner, former business associate Jean Aussant. Kingsbury said he loaned Aussant $24,000 to buy the trailer and seized the asset after their business deal soured in order to recoup some of his money. In the defence’s summary, lawyer Peter Schmidt said Kingsbury was under the impression he was an owner of the RV. Schmidt described the business arrangement between the two men as “unsophisticated” and said many of the problems Kingsbury now faces could have been avoided had lawyers vetted their dealings. But he denied any of Kingsbury’s actions were criminal and said there were many inconsistencies in the evidence. He added that the signature on the sign-out sheet at the RV dealership was not “an Aussant signature beyond a reasonable doubt.” see TRIAL,, page 9

Prolific offender nabbed in Coq. A man police believe used a fake name to register a vehicle is in custody facing a litany of charges, according to Coquitlam RCMP. Raymond Calkin, 41, is described as a prolific offender and was arrested and charged last week with personation, possessing break and enter tools, possessing stolen mail, possessing a counterfeit postal key, possessing a controlled substance and three counts of breaching probation. The charges stem from an investigation that began Jan. 13 when a vehicle was seized and found to contain stolen mail and mail keys. Police said investigators quickly determined that the suspect had im-
personated someone else in order to fraudulently register the vehicle. Coquitlam RCMP credited the general duty and fraud officers along with the prolific target team for nabbing the suspect. “We really depend on our crime analysts to make the link between prolific offenders and their preferred criminal activities,” Sgt. Steve Reinhard, head of the prolific target team, said in a press release. “That way we can focus on the individuals who cause most crime and disorder in the communities we serve.” Calkin is expected to be back in front of a judge March 2 for an interim release hearing.

Trial wraps up in New West In the Crown’s summary, McKinley told the court Kingsbury did not pursue any lawful means of seizing the trailer. He added that Kingsbury either told the employees at the dealership that he was Jean Aussant or allowed them to believe he was the
owner of the trailer. “He knew they thought he was Aussant,” he said. “He signed his name in that particular way in order... to impersonate Aussant.” The lawyers will meet tomorrow (Thursday) in order to set a date to hear the judgment, which is expected next month.

What a waste
PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside
Y
ou might as well get used to recycling your food waste and soiled paper because, soon, you may be fined if you don’t. Although Metro Vancouver hasn’t laid out many of the dirty details, such as how scofflaws would be caught and who would pay, it has set some pretty hefty targets for recycling and among its plans is an outright ban of food waste and soiled papers going in the garbage — and, thus, to the landfill. And it’s not just people living in single-family homes who will no longer be allowed to toss a pizza box into the trash bin. Business owners and condo and apartmentdwellers will also have to separate their food waste if the region is to attain its goal of a 70% recycling rate, up from about 55% now. If the region’s new Zero Waste Challenge strategy comes to pass, organic food waste and soiled papers would be banned from garbage for single-family homes by the end of 2012, when most curbside pick-up will be available (it already is in the Tri-Cities), and business operators and residents of multi-family complexes will have to separate their green waste by 2015. Port Coquitlam is already leading the way by providing green waste collection for all multi-family homes by April. It’s the way the world is going and the sooner cities get onside, the sooner taxpayers will see a benefit. Hopefully, the amount of garbage burned or buried will drop and there will be less greenhouse gas-producing methane pumped into the air. But making people recycle more won’t be easy. Where once people could throw away their food waste without thinking, they’ll now have to find space, time and storage strategies to avoid problems such as odour and visits from hungry animals. So far, organic waste collection seems to be working reasonably well for single-family homes, especially in Port Moody and PoCo, which have special bins and automatic collection services. But multi-family complexes and businesses still have some work to do to get organized. There will be new rules about proper storage, fees to pay for the city for pick-up, and someone will have to be in charge of organizing it all at each site. In the end, we hope, the benefits will be worth the hassle.
Gordon Campbell exits, his legacy uncertain BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA ordon Campbell was in a buoyant mood as he left the legislative chamber after his final question period as premier. “Free at last, free at last,” he said, quoting a traditional song made famous by U.S. civil rights leader Martin Luther King. The shackles of high office officially remain around his ankles for another week or so but, with a stand-pat budget awaiting the next premier’s priorities, his 27-year career as an elected politician is effectively over. Campbell’s place in B.C. history is secure on several fronts, including scheduled elections, reduced business and personal tax rates, and a more mature relationship with Ottawa. There are at least two important areas where his achievements remain in doubt: ab-
G
original relations and climate change. In interviews last week, Campbell said his greatest regret was the demise of the Recognition and Reconciliation Act. That law would have recognized a form of aboriginal rights and title across the province, essentially a huge out-of-court settlement for the 90% of B.C. that remains without treaty settlements. It all collapsed pretty quickly, partly because it was seen as a back-room deal that was to be pushed through before the 2009 election. The mining and forest industries were alarmed, the legislation was held back, aboriginal leaders took it to hearings and chiefs around the province rejected it as a watered-down version of the rights they believed they could win in court. It is remarkable that Campbell went from “professional Indian fighter,” as he was characterized by some after his 2002 referendum on treaty settlements, to the architect of the “New Relationship,” arguably a too-generous bid to untie B.C.’s biggest political knot. The Tsawwassen and Maa-Nulth treaties

are important but they were hashed out the old-fashioned way, with years and lawyers and consultants and sacks of taxpayers’ money. Two northern BC Liberal MLAs voted against them; the split remains. On aboriginal relations, Campbell started deep in his own end and carried the ball at best to midfield. On climate change, one could say he scored at least a field goal. When I sat down with him last week, he mentioned a recent conference in California he attended with George Schultz, the economist and business executive who rose to be secretary of state under Ronald Reagan. With plans for a carbon trading system in disarray in the U.S., Campbell said Schultz pointed to B.C.’s revenue-neutral carbon tax and said that is exactly what other jurisdictions should be doing to reduce greenhouse gases. By 2012, the B.C. carbon tax will account for just under seven cents on a litre of gasoline on top of other fuel taxes B.C. and Ottawa continue to collect. It will set a “carbon price”
of $30 a tonne across all fossil fuels. Campbell is convinced the carbon tax will survive, if not grow. He says leadership candidates should look at continuing the increases that are mandated until 2012 and continuing to offset them with personal and business income tax reductions. One leadership candidate is already touting the benefits of the carbon tax and, surprisingly, he’s not a BC Liberal. The NDP’s John Horgan now admits he was wrong to oppose the tax but he wants it extended to the non-fuel emissions of heavy industries. Horgan has also cautiously embraced Campbell’s other main climate effort, runof-river hydro and wind power, although he wants public ownership through a new BC Hydro division. Campbell’s climate agenda will have to reach beyond today’s mainly symbolic effort and spread to other jurisdictions if it is going to change the course of B.C. history.

TRI-CITYY LETTERS
The Water Utility will be performing unidirectional watermain cleaning in the shaded area shown on the map below from January 21, 2011 to March 2, 2011 inclusive.
The Editor, Re. “Tolls fall far short of costs” (The Tri-City News, Feb. 18). With house ownership now well out of the reach of most couples, did TransLink really think people who wanted an affordable home and who find it necessary to commute to city jobs from the suburbs have the bottomless pockets for regular fares across the Golden Ears Bridge? Translink has misjudged its market. TransLink’s target commuter group, which really could have benefited from being able to choose a quicker commute by SkyTrain, have instead been abandoned to the expense of two-car ownership or a lengthy and onerous bus service commute that leaves less family time. The cost to a working couple, each owning a car — insurance, maintenance, gas and bridge tolls — is quite a burden on top of a mortgage. Of course they’ll choose alternate routes. TransLink hasn’t really thought about those families’ needs at all. M. Schooff, Port Coquitlam
gestures at me. The speed the cars were going had to well exceed 90 km/h. Coming back to Coquitlam, I took the Upper Levels and then the freeway to the Cape Horn turnoff. I again kept right on the speed limit. It was now dark but that didn’t stop 167 cars from racing past me, travelling at least 20 or 30 km/h faster than the posted speed limits. I was also astonished to see two coach-type buses fly past me. And when one of them passed me, the bus driver blasted his horn and nearly drove me out of the lane. The two buses were travelling well over 90 to 95 km/h. The poor passengers on board! What is it about people who feel speeding is an acceptable way of driving? Is it an ego thing? Is it the need for a person to feel that they can be above the law and that no one is going to tell them what to do? How many accidents and deaths will it take for people to take responsibility for their actions. The next time you drive the Barnet or Upper Levels highways or the freeway, do your own survey. I’m sure you will be horrified. Margaret Walker, Coquitlam

A bridge too pricey
Just tryy driving the speed limit The Editor, It is not uncommon these days to read about some tragic automobile accident that has been caused or partly caused by speeding. We read that the police are planning on enforcing traffic laws and this is good. I’m surprised that speeding hasn’t caused more accidents so I would like to tell you of an experiment I conducted recently which could prove my point: At around 4 p.m. on a Sunday, I drove from Coquitlam to North Vancouver. I deliberately and precisely drove the speed limit but I noticed immediately that cars were passing me continuously. By the time I reached the Lonsdale turnoff in North Vancouver, I had counted 186 cars that raced passed me. The route I took was along Bar net Highway to Hastings Street, and then to the Upper Levels Highway. The Barnet was the most interesting. It was not uncommon for cars to come flying up behind me and ride my bumper trying to get me to go faster. I wouldn’t, so many drivers honked at me and often when they passed, the rude drivers would make rude

Legal cloud remains over landfill Court fight may affect whether Metro burns or buries garbage By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
B.C.’s high court has ruled an Interior aboriginal group may not have been properly consulted in the environmental assessment of a proposed major expansion of the Cache Creek landfill. The B.C. Court of Appeal did not immediately quash the environmental certificate issued last year, but ruled B.C.’s environmental approval process was defective and left the door open for the Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council (NNTC) to file a new legal challenge to overturn the approval. At stake is whether or not the Cache Creek landfill will be permitted to take garbage from Metro Vancouver for another two decades or more. The 40-hectare expansion is proposed by the Village of Cache Creek and landfill operator Belkorp Environmental Services, even though Metro’s board has vowed since 2008 to stop dump-

Metro wants to pursue waste-to-energy options, which could see it build a new incinerator to burn garbage that can’t be recycled. Some opponents who fear worsening air quality in the Fraser Valley hope Victoria rejects the idea — the province must still make a decision on Metro’s draft solid waste plan — and direct the region to keep trucking waste to Cache Creek. T he appeal cour t
ruled the Environmental Assessment Office should have formally consulted the NNTC, which has opposed the dump expansion on grounds it may leach toxins and contaminate groundwater and local wildlife. “Denying the NNTC a role within the assessment process is denying it access to an important part of the high-level planning process,” the court found. Successive court rulings have found governments have a duty to consult First Nations

the judgment said, “the Crown’s duty to act honourably towards First Nations makes consultation a constitutional imperative.” Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta said the next step depends on whether the NNTC now moves to overturn the environmental certificate. “If they’re successful, that may put the project in some jeopardy,” he said. A previously approved short-term expansion of the landfill allows Metro to continue using Cache Creek until about the end of 2015.

whose aboriginal rights may be infringed when a major project is proposed on land they claim. The province’s environmental review did consult numerous local bands, some belonging to the broader Nlaka’pamux First Nation and others to the Secwepemc First N at i o n , n e i t h e r o f which has a governing body speaking for the whole group. Some of the bands back the expansion and the jobs the landfill provides, while others, particularly the ones allied with the NNTC, oppose it. Both the Nlaka’pamux and Secwepemc claim the land the landfill extension sits on. The competing claims and animosity between aboriginal groups made it a “daunting” job to craft a meaningful yet efficient consultation process, the court found. “Difficult as it might have been to fulfill,”

Tougher recycling rules eyed to meet Metro Van targets Diverting food waste and other organics from trash a key aim in cutting waste By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
Metro Vancouver plans to toughen enforcement of garbage disposal bans and recycling rules for both residents and businesses to help reach its goal of significantly cutting the waste stream. Beefed-up regulations on what can’t be tossed in the trash and what recycling amenities developers must provide when new buildings go up are big parts of the vision laid out in the region’s new Zero Waste Challenge strategy. The document is Metro’s latest road map for reaching its new target of recycling 70% of waste by 2015 — up from 55% now — and 80% by 2020. Front and centre is the push to get organic waste, including kitchen scraps, out of the garbage and into compost bins. The region aims to ban organic food waste and soiled papers from disposal by single family homes by the end of 2012, coinciding with the deadline for all Metro cities to introduce curbside pickup of all organics. In most cities, that will mean cutting garbage collection to every two weeks to save costs and help pay for more frequent weekly pickup of compostable organics. Metro officials aim to extend the organics ban to businesses and multifamily housing — both considered tougher nuts to crack but major sources of organic waste — in 2015. Organics account for an estimated 40% of all Metro garbage and diverting 265,000 tonnes of it is expected to get the region half way to the 70% recycling target. Nobody expects it will be easy. “We’ve taken the bulk of the low-

hanging fruit and made a great effort at getting 55%,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said. “From this point on gains are very, very expensive and difficult to attain.” He backs the planned disposal bans and the strategy’s emphasis on greater regulation, including more pressure on businesses to comply. “We need to get on with it, because it’s time,” added White Rock Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson, who also sits on Metro’s waste management committee. Many recyclables — including everything that can go in a blue box — are already banned from transfer stations. But large amounts still get through. Increased fines, tightened enforcement at transfer stations and ticketing of garbage ban violators by local cities are all envisioned to ensure better compliance. Metro will press cities to pass coordinated bylaws requiring new multifamily and commercial buildings to have ample space for recycling, along with requirements for improved waste handling by existing buildings, potentially through on-site or neighbourhood composting or collection. Business licence renewals would require proof of adequate recycling or pickup arrangements for organics and other recyclables by 2013, the paper says. “We want to bring in the private sector and the multi-family residents or building owners,” said Metro waste committee chair Greg Moore, Port Coquitlam’s mayor. “We’re in this together. So how can we achieve this together?” He expects more ideas will emerge at a Zero Waste conference Metro will host March 10 in Burnaby. Multifamily condos and apartments are a major recycling and composting problem area because most were built without recycling facilities and wasteful sins get anonymized in a common dumpster.

Parkland takes its own pink approach By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
P
arkland elementary school students want to be buddies, not bullies, and they’ve designed a t-shirt to get their point across. The school is distributing more than 200 pink-t shirts to staff, students and parents in time for Pink Shirt Day, Feb. 23. Grade 1 student Jade Lee designed the shirt using the Be a Buddy not a Bully theme that the school is promoting. Michelle Valente, a parent who helped organize the project, said 75 drawings were submitted and choosing the winner was difficult. But the goal was achieved because now more students and families are talking about what it means to be a buddy instead of a bully. “The whole point of this is to bring awareness to it, not just to kids but to parents,” Valente said. Money raised from selling the shirts will go towards the school’s new playground, which will cost $50,000 to $70,000 and will be built in phases. Runners-up in the t-shirt design contest were Leif Kelly, in Grade 3, and Yang Lu, who is in Grade 2. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Grad promotes respect, diversity By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A
Centennial secondary graduate hopes to harness the power of music, dance, video and social media to promote the message of tolerance and understanding at his former high school. Calan Breckon will launch his Diversity Project at the school Feb. 24, the day after Pink Shirt Day, a national campaign that was started four years ago in response to a bullying incident against a boy wearing a pink shirt at a school in Nova Scotia. Centennial students will be invited to attend a concert featuring a performance by local singer/songwriter Rosette and dance performances by Mackenzie Green and Nathalie Heath from So You Think You Can Dance Canada. Students will then be invited to attend the first meeting of the school’s Diversity Club and given a chance to participate in a documentary about the project. “We want to promote the idea that diversity is a good thing and everybody is the same in that they all want love, acceptance and understanding,” said Breckon, 24, who graduated from Centennial in 2005. The club would be an expanded version of a gay-straight alliance the school used to have but people were sometimes too embarrassed to join. Breckon said he hopes the club will attract students with a wide variety of interests, from the arts to sports. Movie nights and other events will be planned, with the goal of making the club a fun and acceptable place to hang out. “It will be open to everyone, it doesn’t matter who you are. We won’t put labels on them,” Breckon said.

Some guide books as you travel the road to wellness A GOOD READ Susan Clark
T
his is the time of year when many of us find that our New Year’s resolutions are slipping away. Although we may want to achieve wellness, the goals we set for ourselves just over a month ago can seem pretty overwhelming. The good news is that there are simple ways to reconnect with our goals of achieving health and happiness. Here, I’ll share some books that have jump-started my best intentions and helped me along in my wellness journey. As a way of resolving some of my own goals, I decided take my first step by following The Quantum Wellness Cleanse: The 21-day Essential Guide to Healing Your Body, Mind and Spiritt by Kathy Freston. It was a relief to learn that wellness is an ever-evolving process. We are able to make small shifts and changes in order to find ourselves living better, healthier lives. We can adopt a strategy of “leaning into” wellness rather than forcing ourselves into a strict regime. The small steps I took over my 21-day cleanse led me to better choices without much effort at all. The changes I was making gave me a desire to gather more information about my food choices. Have you ever wondered what the “organic” label on your green salad mix really means? The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan provides an eye-opening look at where our food comes from. Understanding the impact of corn consumption and the organic food industry from both the growing and eating ends of the food chain is enlightening — I now understand where that meal on my plate actually came from. I had taken my first baby steps towards eating in a conscious way. My next task was to examine how happiness plays a part in wellness. Whenever I think of happiness, the Dalai Lama comes to mind. He is a person who has had to deal with adversity and yet he is able to maintain both his serenity and optimism. The Art of Happiness in a Troubled World, written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler, gives readers a glimpse into how he faces the problems of today’s world and how we can cultivate positive emotions. We know that the greatest minds have tackled
the question of happiness. Is there a way that an ordinary person could find happiness? I decided to read The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle and Generally Have More Fun n by Gretchen Rubin. Rubin decided to dedicate a year to her happiness project. She focused on tackling a new set of resolutions each month. The result is an upbeat and lively account of her year. Each of us could benefit from creating our own unique happiness project The remaining element in my wellness scheme was exercise. I decided to incorporate yoga into my daily routine as well as a good deal of outdoor walking. I found the photos and anatomical drawings in Anatomy of Yoga: An Instructor’s Inside Guide to Improving Your Poses by Abigail Ellsworth helped me improve my technique. Walking is an inexpensive and healthy way to exercise. Walking: A Complete Guide to Walking for Fitness, Health and Weight Loss by John Stanton provided a program where I could increase my pace from strolling to brisk walking. Each of us will personalize our wellness journey in our own unique way. It doesn’t matter if we decide to take up running or prefer to grow lettuce in our backyard. Each small step we take will make a big overall difference to the way we look and feel. Remember to pick up a book, video or magazine at your local library and enjoy creating your wellness, your way.

Water’s Edge Festival, Evergreen Cultural Centre, Feb. 25 to 27
Jazz time with Dee By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
D
ee Daniels’ worldcertified singing career has been one what she dubs “magical,” which is fitting given she reputedly carries a sound that renders her audience utterly star struck. With one critic having raved about her owning a fascinating four-octave voice of “hypnotic quality,” fans at Evergreen Cultural Centre had best prepare to be mesmerized when Daniels captures the stage Sunday at 2 p.m. for the signature show of the Coquitlam venue’s weekend Water’s Edge Festival. Titled Dee Daniels: An Afternoon of Jazz, Blues and Gospel, the performance promises to lift the crowd to exhilarating heights and send it into a bountiful bliss that far transcends the typical music trip. Daniels, herself, vows to do her best to personally pilot the frolicking flight. “What I do, in my mind, is go out [in the audience], take all the people by the hand and say, ‘Let’s go on a journey and have some fun,’” Daniels told The Tri-City News. “It’s a mental thing to me. If you think you can’t do it, it will be hit and miss –– mostly miss.” It’s that precise phil o s o p hy t h at f i n d s Daniels unable to find much variation in her three musical stylings, as she gathers jazz, blues and gospel into one grand, mellifluous gala — regardless of crowd size. She recently performed in Rochester,
N.Y., before 2,400 fans, substantially more than the few hundred set to embrace her at the intimate Evergreen venue. “To me, the [stylings] are all the same,” said Daniels, who was born in California, later moved to Seattle and now resides in North Vancouver. “It’s how they make me feel. If I can’t feel it, there’s no use in me trying to make somebody else feel it. “The bottom line is love.” The step-daughter of a Baptist minister, Daniels took to singing in the school choir at age 12 and continued to optimize her vocal cords through university. Only she had other plans for a career upon graduating. She became an art teacher and remained one until quitting midway through one school year, when she officially caught the permanent music bug after hooking up with a Seattle band for a New Year’s party and, later, continuing to perform with it on weekends. “Music has been in my life since I can remember,” said Daniels, a wife of 25 years and mother of a 22-year-old daughter, who owns her own company as a pastry chef. “But I didn’t think of it as a possible career. I was into art.” Even when she was approached after that New Year’s gig to sing permanently in the band, Daniels recalled saying flatly: “Absolutely not. I’ve got a real job.” That all changed in a blink when Daniels decided one day she wanted to travel, and
Concerts, dance, art & workshops Arts and culture will pour down on Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre this weekend for the third annual Water’s Edge Festival.

Dee Daniels will sing at an afternoon concert at the Evergreen Cultural Centre at 1205 Pinetree Way in Coquitlam on Sunday as part of the Water’s Edge Festival (www.watersedgemusic.ca.). music would be the best path to permit her to do so. Her singing vocation has since taken her to no fewer than 12 African countries, along with those in South America, the United Kingdom and Asia. “I said I would like to
see the world via music and it has actually happened,” marvelled Daniels, who’ll be accompanied by her trio of pianist Tony Foster, bass player Russ Botten and drummer Joe Poole. “There are still parts I haven’t seen but I’m
working on that.” • Her next stop is Coquitlam on Sunday. Admission is $25 for adults and $20 for stud e n t s a n d s e n i o r s. Tickets can be purchased by calling 604927-6555.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS
He describes the show as “a huffer and a puffer.” Coquitlam’s Brett Trach is one of six dancers with Ballet Kelowna perfor ming Actions Consequences in his hometown on Saturday at the Everg reen Cultural Centre as part of the Water’s Edge Festival. “It’s a tough show,” he said during an interview last week after a rehearsal to prepare for the upcoming 13-city tour. “I’m going to go to the gym after this to do some cardio.” Actions Consequences has five pieces, including a number that was tailored especially for Ballet Kelowna. The perfor mance star ts with Dvorak Dances, a classical dance created by artistic director David LaHay that’s set to Czech composer Antonin Dvorak’s popular Slavonic Dances. Canadian choreo g rapher Gioconda Barbuta’s newly commissioned ballet, titled C a p t u re , i nvo l v i n g Montreal composer M i c h a e l O e s t e rl e ’s music, is the second piece that mirrors the “org anic movement of each dancer,” said Raelynn Heppell, a former Langley resident. “She spent two weeks with us to model our natural styles. It’s really beautiful.” Next on the program is Flower Festival that T rach describes as an “old-time classic pas de deux” (French for “steps of two”) followed by Stage Within, a contemporary dance created by Ballet BC’s Simone Orlando. And, for the finale is LaHay’s In Stride, also a moder n number that includes Glen Branca’s pulsating beat. “It’s very, very difficult,” Heppell said of the show, echoing Trach’s comments.

Raelynn Heppell of Ballet Kelowna appears in Actions Consequences on Saturday, Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. Tickets start at $10. Started nine years ago, Ballet Kelowna strives to take dance to communities that have not seen the art form live — or, at least, not in many years. “It’s hard to bring a company of 30 dancers to a small town but, with the six of us, we can dance on secondary school stages. It’s not
always the primest locations but it’s very rewarding because we’re so well received,” Trach said. Being such a small group allows the dancers to have one-onone training, Heppell said. “I came to Ballet Kelowna quite weak and without a lot of experience in a professional

Desperate Express steam into playoffs Face the Surrey Eagles in first round By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
CRAIG HODGE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Malcolm McKinney of the Coquitlam Express out-races the Salmon Arm Silverbacks’ Kevin Mills to the puck in a B.C. Hockey League Jr. ‘A’ game Sunday at Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. The Express blasted the Silverbacks 10-5 to wrap up their regular season.
Black Cats’ comeback cools Flames By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The game was half over –– and looking all but finished –– Monday for the Port Moody Black Panthers. Then they sprang to life. The Cats battled back from a 3-0 deficit and whistled in five unanswered goals on way to a 5-3 win at PoMo Rec Complex in the opening game of their firstround Pacific International Jr. ‘B’ hockey league best-of-seven
series. Game 2 goes tonight (Wednesday) at Maple Ridge Planet Ice, as does Friday’s Game 3. Game 4 is back in PoMo on Saturday, 7:45 p.m. The Flames appeared to be in command when C.J. Legassic slipped in his second goal at 11:18 of the middle frame to put Ridge up by three. “That’s when we turned the switch on,” said Black Panthers
general manager Ron Luniw. “We took it to them. We started to skate, forecheck and press them. All of a sudden, we were all around their net.” Ryan Panichelli scored his first of two goals and Rino Minni also tallied to close the gap to 3-2 before the second period expired. In the third, Panichelli and Josh Viegas scored early three minutes apart to give the Cats a 4-3
lead and the game stayed that way until Julian Klaric hit an empty net with 34 seconds remaining to seal the win. The Cats out-shot the Flames 37-30, including 30-15 in the last two periods. Minni and Chris Stew collected two assists apiece for the winners, who got a 27-save showing from goalie Nick Taylor. Game 5, if necessary, will be in PoMo on Monday, 7:30 p.m. A prospective Game 7 will also be in PoMo, t.b.a.
With their backs against the wall on the weekend and an eye still on the playoffs, the Coquitlam Express amazingly found a sudden nose for the net. And a whole bunch of backsides were in the seats to witness it. T h e B . C . H o cke y League squad grabbed the seventh and final Coastal Conference playoff spot Friday by thumping the Surrey Eagles 7-4 before a season-high crowd of 1,418 at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. The news became official when the Cowichan Valley Capitals –– the team the Express were tussling with for the final post-season berth –– were tripped 6-5 in OT that same night by the league-leading Kings in Powell River. O n S u n d a y, t h e Express crushed the visiting Salmon Arm Silverbacks 10-5 before 1,121 spectators to wrap up regular-season play with a 22-28-1-9 record. The seventh-seeded Express now tangle in a best-of-seven series with the No. 2 Eagles starting Friday in Surrey, with Game 2 there Saturday. Games 3 and 4 are slated for next Monday and Tuesday in Coquitlam. “The coffee never tasted better this morning,” Express general manager Darcy Rota gushed early Monday. “We knew it was going to take some time when we started the season with only three returning players. The goal was to make the playoffs and we accomplished that. I’m very proud of the players, the coaching staff, the trainers... everyone in our organization.” On Friday, seven different players struck net for the Express who led 2-1 and 5-3 at the in-

“There’s nothing more deflating to a team than to go out and get scored on the first shift.” Riley McIntosh termissions. Express goal-getters included C o q u i t l a m p ro d u c t Riley McIntosh, Alex Petan, Jared Eng, Jacob Charles, Jason Grecia, Matthew Hutchinson and Massimo Lamacchia, who added three assists. The six-foot-five defenceman McIntosh set the tone early for the Express when he rifled home a shot a mere 58 ticks into the contest. “ T h e re ’s n o t h i n g more deflating to a team than to go out and get scored on the first shift,” McIntosh said. “We know that ourselves from experience. “It feels great [to make the playoffs]. It’s such a relief. For us 20-year-old guys, it’s nice because we can leave a bit of a legacy our final year.” The scoring storm continued Sunday for the Express, who were led by Lamacchia’s three-goal effort. Other Coquitlam marksmen were Destry Straight and Port Moody product Mitchell Deacon, with a pair apiece, along with Malcolm McKinney, Cody Castro and Austin Carroll. Grecia contributed four assists. ICING: Despite their gaping 19-points differential in the standings, the Express and Eagles actually split their season series with five wins in regulation time apiece, with Surrey also having won two more in OT... Lamacchia was named BCHL Player of the Week on Monday.
