BETTY FOX REMEMBERED

Betty Fox: The right mom for a tough job By Richard Dal Monte THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Betty Fox was a tough lady. No, check that. Betty Fox was a mom who had to be tough. Four kids, three boys. Working-class Port Coquitlam. Her second-youngest son is diagnosed with cancer. His leg is amputated. That’s enough to deal with. That’s

THE WEDNESDAY

enough for a lifetime. But the boy pushes. He saw things in the cancer ward. Just going on with his life minus one leg isn’t enough. In the kitchen of their PoCo home a day after he completes a 17-mile run, he tells her his plan to run across Canada — a marathon a day on one good leg and a prosthesis to raise money for cancer research. see ‘IF IT WASN’T FOR HIM,’ page A3

Big bucks for fewer city staff By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

CRAIG HODGE/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Condolence book at PoCo centre Port Coquitlam’s most famous mom will be commemorated in a book of condolences. The city of PoCo will help locals share their thoughts in a book that will be presented to the family of Betty Fox, who died last Friday. The book will recognize the significant contributions Fox made to PoCo. Mother of the late Terry Fox, Betty Fox was a crusader for cancer research who devoted the last 30 years to the cause.

The city’s book of condolences will be available for signing at the customer service desk at the PoCo rec complex at 2150 Wilson Ave. until the end of the month during the following hours: weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. People may also express their condolences online at www.terryfox.org.

Terry Fox secondary school students Cynthia Hui, Sarah Novicki, Tobi Owbowale, Sydnie Clerkson and Rachel Cavallarin make a card of condolences Tuesday for the Fox family, which lost matriarch Betty Fox last Friday.

Coquitlam city hall has about the same payroll as it did two years ago but fewer people are on it. According to a report released this week, 86 city employees took home more than $100,000 in 2010 versus 49 in 2008 — a difference of 37 staff members. At Monday’s city council meeting, Coquitlam’s financial services manager, Sheena MacLeod, talked about the belt-tightening city hall has faced during the global economic meltdown, including not filling vacant jobs. “We have come through a pretty difficult few years,” she said, noting the 2011 finances are expected to fare better. But leaving jobs open has not come without costs. Yesterday, Mayor Richard Stewart acknowledged the city has had to pay staff for

BETTY FOX REMEMBERED: The death of a Canadian icon — and Port Coquitlam’s most famous mom

Betty ‘backbone’ of Terry’s legacy By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Many in Port Coquitlam are still reeling from the death of Betty Fox, a mother who, like her son Terry Fox, was as much a hero in the hearts of Canadians as she was in their hometown. Betty Fox died Friday morning, reportedly from complications with diabetes and arthritis. Since Terry’s death in 1981, Betty tirelessly carried the torch for her son’s cause, raising hundreds of millions of dollars for cancer research. The Fox family issued this statement Friday morning: “It is with considerable sadness that we share that our wife, mother and grandmother died at 8:25 a.m. (PT) this morning. Betty/Mom passed away peacefully surrounded by love. “Betty was comfortable the last few weeks and months of her life, was always full of wit and rarely alone. “Our wife and mom is now with Terry and joins other dear family members that predeceased her. “We have greatly appreciated the privacy granted to our family since Betty’s illness was shared and are hoping it continues at this difficult time.”

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said Friday that the news of Betty’s death had saddened everyone at city hall. Moore’s father, Bruce Moore, coached Terry when he was in high school and has been close with the Fox family ever since. see CONTINUE CONTINUE,, next page

Betty reacts like a mom. We don’t know the precise words but they approximate “Are you nuts?” She tells him it’s a stupid idea and he’s smarter than that. She tells him no ablebodied person has ever run from Newfoundland to B.C. She fights, a mom trying to protect her child from himself. To no avail. Tough mom, determined kid. The rest of the story need not be repeated; it has become a hero’s legend in Canada, complete with requisite tragic ending. But that’s just the beginning of Betty Fox’s story, a heroine’s tale in its own right. Where you or I might have retreated in our grief, Betty and the Fox family stepped forward. Where most would have held close their personal memories and moments, Betty went public. Where many might allow the Marathon of Hope to fade into history as something too painful to think about day after day, Betty embraced it, embraced her son’s cause and made it her own, embraced it and worked in spite of the pain, because of the pain. Could your mom do that? Sacrifice herself for something bigger? All moms are different but they all know sacrifice. They eat the crusts. They scrimp and save. They do without so their kids don’t have to. They are strong when their children aren’t. That’s a mom, right? That’s Betty. That’s Betty, continuing her late son’s cancer-fighting crusade, making it her full-time job for the last 30 years. That’s Betty, hugging school kids coast to coast and telling them Terry’s story. That’s Betty, preserving Terry’s grassroots ideals, eschewing the potential quick money of corporate sponsorship because of the potential costs. That’s Betty, standing up on stage at the Terry Fox Hometown Run in PoCo year after year, flanked by her husband, Rolly, and the mayor and a rock band and even Rick Hansen, and holding every ear with her words of encouragement, every eye with that white hair, that broad smile and that gaze that so recalled Terry’s. She talked a great deal about what Terry did, what Terry wanted, considerably less about what he meant to Canada. In fact, she admitted to a reporter just last year that it wasn’t until a few years ago she “finally, truly understood what Terry meant to people,” a realization that came to her after watching impoverished children in Bangladesh running in his name. And if she never before truly understood Terry’s meaning to our nation, and most acutely to residents of his hometown, it’s unlikely she gave a moment to consider her own place in Canada’s pantheon of heroes and heroines. Just like a mom, she preferred the spotlight from the outside looking in, stepping into it only when there was no other choice. Even when she earned the honour of carrying the Olympic flag into BC Place stadium at the Vancouver 2010 opening ceremonies, she deflected attention, saying, “Terry was utmost in my mind. I was very proud to be a part of the Olympic ceremony but it was all for Terry. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have been there.” She’s right. Of course, she’s right. Terry lit the fire and she tended it for three decades. It was a tough job but somebody had to do it. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Continue the cancer cause: Man in Motion “It is incredibly sad,” Moore said. “What Betty has meant for the Terry Fox Foundation — she has been the backbone to drive Terry’s legacy.” On Friday, the flags at city hall were flown at half-staff in her honour. Fox family friend and Paralympian Rick Hansen, whose Man in Motion Tour to raise money for spinal cord injury research was inspired by Terry’s own Marathon of Hope, released a statement Friday offering condolences to the family and praising Betty Fox as an inspiration to millions and a community leader whose enthusiasm and compassion were a testament to the power of one person to change the world. “I believe her greatest wish would be for Canadians and people around the world to continue the passionate and dedicated pursuit of a world free of cancer,” Hansen said. Following Ter ry’s death from cancer in 1981, Betty was instrumental in launching the annual Terry Fox Run and has since been involved in all aspects of the Terry Fox Foundation, protecting her son’s name and image, and promoting his cause across the country and around the world. She also attended almost every Hometown Run in PoCo and, over the past 30 years, she spoke to more than 400,000 school children across Canada. Many of those were s t u d e n t s at Po C o ’s Terry Fox secondary — the former PoCo high renamed for its most famous graduate — where students wrote messages to Betty this week on a large card. Chuck Provost, a counsellor at Fox secondary, said staff and students were still very much in shock

this week as Betty was very close to the school community. Last year, Betty Fox was chosen to be a flag bearer in the openi n g c e re m o n i e s o f the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. She and her husband Rolly Fox have three other children: Fred, Darrell and Judith, as

well as nine grandchildren. The Fox family has asked the public to respect its privacy at this time. Those who wish to share messages about Betty may do so at the Terry Fox Foundation website, www.terryfox. org. tcoyne@tricitynews.com – with files from Gary McKenna

Mom turns to Facebook to raise money for riot victims By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

As the sun rose last Thursday on the damage from the Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver, Laura Baker was one of many who felt compelled to head downtown to help clean up “her city.” But her child had a dentist appointment and the Port Coquitlam single mother of four had her own house to clean. So she star ted a Facebook page called “Fundraiser to Help the Businesses and People Af fected by the Vancouver Riot,” which, as of yesterday, has more than 200 supporters. Her goal isn’t to solicit donations online but to organize a daylong event like a bake sale and raffle to benefit those small businesses that were looted and especially those people whose cars were damaged or destroyed following the Vancouver Canucks’ 4-0 loss to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup final. People like Crystal Ratvay of Abbotsford. Just hours before We d n e s d ay ’s g a m e, Ratvay’s aunt in Port Coquitlam gave her the keys to a red 1990 Chevy Cavalier. Ratvay’s own car had broken down in April and she couldn’t afford to replace it. Her aunt’s goodwill was soon undone. To celebrate the gift, Ratvay drove downtown to watch the game at a friend’s place. But when she returned to her car following the Canucks’ loss, she found the Chevy upended, resting on its crumpled roof, windows smashed out and interior ransacked. It was a write-off. But with only liability insurance, Ratvay was left without a dime of insurance compensation. ICBC spokesperson Adam Grossman told The Tri-City News on Monday that only drivers with either comprehensive or “special perils” insurance on their vehicles could claim riot damage, adding that ICBC had already fast-tracked about 100 such claims for repairs or replacement from Wednesday night’s carnage.

“We’ve seen fire damage, we’ve seen vehicles that were rolled onto their roofs. In those two cases, typically we’ll be looking at a total loss for the vehicle. It’s pretty rare that the vehicle will be reparable in those cases,” Grossman said. And while Baker said she has already been contacted by scores of people looking to donate money through her Facebook fundraiser page, she’s waiting for approval from Vancouver city hall to host a charity event. Baker said she has seen similar fundraisers cropping up online but warned that many don’t seem to have applied for proper licensing to solicit donations and are, therefore, not guaranteed to be providing money to those who need it. “We’re planning to hold our event in either in Stanley Park or right beside Rogers Arena,” Baker said. “Because I have young children, I want to show them how to take care of their city and to show them that everyone doesn’t behave like they saw on TV.” tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Pay to park on Pinetree? By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Residents and visitors in Coquitlam’s Town Centre will soon have to pay to park on the street. On Monday, council unanimously voted to end the city’s contract with Impark once a contractor has been found to supply equipment and provide services for pay parking in the rapidly growing urban area. City staff were unable yesterday to comment on the cost of the Impark contract but Mayor Richard Stewart said the city has been losing money on collection. The city takes in about $100,000 a year from pay parking. Stewart said taxpayers have been subsidizing the collection services, mainly at Evergreen Cultural Centre and City Centre Aquatic Complex. Currently, there are no parking metres along Pinetree Way. “If we can’t have the taxpayers benefit with the revenue, then why are we doing it at all?” he asked. “We need to figure out how we can manage parking properly.” In his report to council, Bill Susak, Coquitlam’s general manager of engineering, wrote: “Over many years, parking revenue has been eroded by vandalism and lack of re-investment in pay-parking technology. Over time, a new competitively bid services contract should produce a modest profit for pay parking.” The issue of parking in City Centre has been a major topic recently, especially as the area densifies and prepares for the Evergreen Line, construction of which is expected to next year. Coun. Mae Reid, chair of the city’s land use committee, has pressed for adequate parking in highrises and city staff are looking at parking options for developers building close to the Evergreen Line. One solution staff suggested is the closer to the alignment, the fewer the parking spots available for residents and visitors, thereby forcing them to use public transit.

Reducing car trips aim of pay parking PoMo city councillor says Halifax example shows there’s money in plan, too By Todd Coyne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

In a municipal election year, conventional wisdom says that stumping for paid parking is the political equivalent of handling radioactive materials. But one Port Moody city councillor says she isn’t afraid of the fallout. Coun. Karen Rockwell raised the issue at the June 14 PoMo council meeting, saying it’s time the city look at converting its free parking to metered parking at Rocky Point Park, the Port Moody rec complex and along Ungless Way, where many Eagle Ridge Hospital staff park. More sites would likely be considered in the future. Port Moody council has discussed the idea before and Rockwell revived it following a trip to Halifax for the annual Federation of Canadian Municipalities meeting. That maritime city, Rockwell told council, generates $1.2 million annually from its parking lots, many of which populate the city’s bustling and historic waterfront. But in Port Moody, Rockwell said the main drive behind charging peo-

ple to park should not be money but to reduce the number of car trips in the city, encouraging people to walk, cycle or take transit instead. “It’s a source of revenue but, most ROCKWELL importantly is the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions,” Rockwell told The Tri-City News. “We have visitors from all over the Lower Mainland that come and use our parks. In Halifax, it’s exactly the same; they have visitors that come to see their historic district and downtown waterfront.” Rockwell said she expects council to discuss the possibility of creating paid parking in the coming weeks and hopes the city will move on its decision before the November civic elections. Rockwell said she’s not afraid of voter backlash that might accompany making people pay for something the city currently offers for free. “If council based all our decisions on what was popular or not, then I would say we’re not doing our job very well,” she said. “Our job is to look after the best interests of all the residents of Port Moody.” tcoyne@tricitynews.com

Dix here Sunday on HST

B.C. opposition leader Adrian Dix will be speaking to NDP supporters in the Tri-Cities this weekend as part of his campaign against the HST. The NDP leader is an outspoken opponent of the tax and said families will end up paying hundreds and even thousands of dollars more per year under the new sales tax regime. He added that a yes vote to extinguish the HST would benefit families and small businesses. Dix won his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership nomination in April and this will be his first visit to the Tri-Cities as party leader. Also on hand will be CoquitlamMaillardville MLA Diane Thorne. The event takes place at 3 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Coquitlam Branch (1025 Ridgeway Avenue). It is sponsored by the CoquitlamMaillardville constituency association and anyone is welcome to attend.

Some real justice

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

t’s pay-back time and the perpetrators of last week’s post-Stanley Cup mob violence should be dealt with immediately and appropriately. But neither is likely to happen if resolving the pain and hurt of Vancouver’s notorious Game 7 riot — and the millions in resulting damages — is left up to B.C.’s overburdened court system. Other serious cases such as domestic assaults and home invasions are already being delayed because there aren’t enough sheriffs and judges, according to the recent Black Press series Justice Denied, and should many of these cases come to trial, it will be months — even years — before the perpetrators do time or pay fines for their crimes. There has to be another way to deal with the hurt and damage caused by intoxicated and crowd-maddened knuckleheads last week. While naming and shaming may give victims and shocked witnesses a momentary feeling of empowerment, this online outpouring of grief and frustration will amount to nothing if the police and court systems don’t have the resources to deal with the aftermath. Similarly, individuals who apologize online or in the media a safe distance from their victim are just kidding themselves if they think they are actually taking meaningful responsibility for their actions. What if, instead of just blogging their apologies, perpetrators actually sat down and faced their victims in a wellestablished process called restorative justice and were encouraged to make things right? What if, instead of moaning about their loss of jobs, sponsorships, respect they listened to the victims and their needs? What if they had to pay insurance deductibles and act as taxi drivers for those inconvenienced when their cars were overturned and torched? The anger being directed toward those who looted, set cars on fire and beat bystanders is understandable. But in cases where victims and perpetrators can be identified, groups such as the Tri-Cities’ own CERA (Communities Embracing Restorative Action) should be given the job of finding a swift and meaningful resolution. Publish the results? Sure. The public needs closure and its faith in the justice system restored, otherwise frustration will continue to mount, ratcheting up the anger and the hate, and further blackening the city’s tarnished reputation.

A hard look at your choices in a B.C. election BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA et’s assume that when everyone in B.C. gets to be finance minister for a day, a majority choose to throw a $3-billion chair through the office window to show how mad they are about the harmonized sales tax. The cleanup will take two years but first there will be a provincial election to decide who holds the broom and dustpan. And the choices are becoming clear. You have a new BC Liberal leader who has tacked to the centre on the minimum wage and business taxes in an effort to seek forgiveness for the high-handed administration that lost the public’s trust. And you have two opposition parties that are entirely reactionary in their approach to today’s fast-changing world. There isn’t much to say at this point about the BC Conservatives under John Cummins.

They are against modern treaty settlements, the carbon tax and (I think) the HST. They stand for lower taxes but so far that doesn’t include a reduced sales tax rate. The rest of their platform is platitudes, with enough of a whiff of protest to pave a path for an NDP government. And the NDP manages to make the BC Conservatives look modern. In January, I described how the B.C. NDP constitution still formally endorses the government taking over major industries and explicitly rejects all for-profit activity. I won’t requote the convoluted Marxist language, which boils down to ‘state good, competition bad.’ A reader provides a real-time example of how this principle would apply to a problem confronting the B.C. government: To prevent another riot in Vancouver, the government should supervise an orderly redistribution of Stanley Cups. This core principle of socialism, an 80-year-old relic, was debated at the national party’s convention in Vancouver on the weekend. Socialist dead-enders rallied to

keep it alive, rejecting vague new wording that favours “social democratic principles” to ensure “economic and social equality.” This isn’t just an academic discussion for party conventions. One of the last acts of the NDP opposition in the B.C. legislature this spring was to propose a legislated end to poverty. According to its bill, B.C. should create a Ministry of Poverty Reduction, complete with annual goals for imposing the redistribution of wealth. The “Poverty Reduction Act” contains a weasel-worded definition of poverty: insufficient money to “acquire and maintain economic self-reliance” and “facilitate integration into and participation in society.” Does this mean a guaranteed annual income? Can people achieve “economic selfreliance” by collecting welfare? Does anyone actually believe this stuff ? If you believe unionized state monopolies are the best business model, I guess so. I won’t elaborate on the fringe parties such as Chris Delaney’s BC First, a splinter from the BC Conservative stump.

The Green Party is the only one other than the BC Liberals that looks to the future, though perhaps too far in the future. The Greens want a dramatically increased carbon tax and a transition to a “steady state” economy that doesn’t try to produce and consume more. Try eliminating poverty with that program. I frequently get letters from people who accuse me of parroting the government’s line on issues such as the HST and poverty. If there are political alternatives out there that make actual sense in today’s world, I would love to hear about them. Until then, these are the choices. Any day now, NDP leader Adrian Dix might start to unveil the positive alternative he has promised for an election that may come this fall. That will be something to examine closely. Right now, he’s urging you to throw that chair. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and bclocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca twitter.com/tomfletcherbc

The Editor, It’s not the bears that are dangerous, it’s humans with guns — and now arrows — that make them the threat to the future of an animal that simply wants to exist in its own habitat, just like humans do in theirs. First, why would anyone would want to destroy a sentient life?

Taxes, enviro fees extra

WHY HUNT HERE?

Second, why does the government issue licences to do this? Is there a wild onslaught of bears rampaging through the streets causing mayhem? It’s a sick world where people are allowed to aimlessly wander around killing anything that moves. They can’t even do it right, leaving the poor animal to suffer and leaving someone else to finish their dirty work. The government isn’t immune from this. Calling themselves “conservation officers” is a contradiction in terms. How can they be “conserving” when they are killing bears? My suggestion is that they relocate bears when they aren’t busy searching for the ones mortally wounded by knuckle-dragging Neanderthals. I hang my head in shame because I’m a human too, but with a difference: I have a brain and use it for thought, unlike the hunter or the government. Timothy Fisher, Port Coquitlam

ALL A

a lesson or two from Dr. Bee on how to protect their property. The point of all this is that if the farmers did their best to keep the bears away, there would be far fewer issues with bears in the Minnekhada area. We possibly would not have the issue of a bear being shot and injured, then having to be tracked down and killed because of poor skills of the hunters. No animal deserves that kind of treatment. Philip Warburton, Port Coquitlam

✃

The Editor, Re. “Bow hunter got bear” (The Tri-City News, June 15). It seems there are hunting licences being issued to people in this area and they are apparently getting permission from the farmers to “hunt” the fields to rid their blueberry fields of bears that feed on their crops. If the farmers were truly concerned about the bears raiding their crop, they would take proper precautions and erect full, functioning and effective electric fences. Some do not have anything and the rest are ineffective, poorly constructed or even turned off. It is interesting to note bee hives placed in these fields for pollination have their own electric fences around them that deter bears. I have never seen a bee hive overturned by a bear in the seven years I have been walking the area. Bears are attracted to the hives for the larva in them. Maybe the farmers could take

He’s also worried Penner’s plan to find money elsewhere in the ministry means “robbing from Peter to pay Paul.” NDP Attorney General critic Leonard Krog said the restored hours will help but the government must commit to a broader overhaul of the embattled justice system. “We are still down 17 judges across the province,” Krog said. “There are still not enough prosecutors. We know the premier, riding the wave of revulsion over the Vancouver riots, has promised swift prosecution. And we know there aren’t enough prosecutors to do it.” The provincial court has warned 2,100 alleged criminals are at risk of walking free because their cases have already dragged on so long they are at risk of being quashed due to unacceptable delay. jnagel@blackpress.ca

The province will pay for more sheriffs to guard courtrooms, reversing cuts imposed late last month that triggered a wave of trial adjournments and sparked strong criticism from judges and lawyers. Attorney General Barry Penner said the government will restore the hours of 52 auxiliary and parttime sheriffs, which had been sharply reduced in late May, bringing back the equivalent of 34 full-time positions. Penner ordered his staff to find more money within the ministry budget to cover more sheriffs after judges told him they were uncomfortable about the safety of courtrooms in the wake of the reductions. Under the cuts, a roving system was in force where

each court didn’t necessarily have its own sheriff but was supposed to be able to call on one quickly if needed. At least 23 trials were delayed this month, including a murder case and home invasion case, after judges refused to run them without sheriffs present to provide security. “We’re pleased to see the hours come back,” B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union spokesman Dean Purdy said. “But really it’s just a BandAid solution. Even before the judges in many locations around the province were refusing to run their trials because of the shortage of deputy sheriffs.” A hiring freeze in effect for the last couple of years has meant B.C. courts have lost more than 100 sheriffs to attrition prior to the now-reversed cuts. Many departing sheriffs left for other higher-paying law enforcement jobs, Purdy said.

Maybe Metro vote in November By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam residents may have a referendum question to vote on when they head to the polls in November. Next month, city council will decide whether to ask Coquitlam voters whether council members should be directly elected to the Metro Vancouver board. Currently, two council members are selected by council; this year, they are Mayor Richard Stewart and Coun. Lou Sekora. The idea for the referendum came from Sekora at Monday’s council meeting just as homeowners are paying their property tax bills, which include hefty utility increases from the regional authority. Stewart said he supports such a referendum question and he voiced frustration with the unelected body, with which Coquitlam is currently embroiled in a dispute on the proposed Regional Growth Strategy, a blueprint for how Metro Vancouver will grow over the next 30 years. Coquitlam is the only municipality in the Lower Mainland that has refused to support the plan and is now in mediation with Metro Vancouver; some regional politicians on its intergovernmental committee, including Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, are observing the negotiations — and being paid by Metro for their time. Coquitlam Coun. Mae Reid said she would like to talk to Metro

Vancouver before a civic referendum question is posed, given the bad blood that now exists between the city and the regional body. “I don’t think we should be going off at this particular point in time and making our own decisions and putting them on the ballot as to what we would like to do,” she said. “I think we are out there all

by ourselves for a while now and I think we need to get over the issue that we’ve got before we do something else.” Ye s t e r d ay, C o u n . Barrie Lynch said he would like to see two referendum questions: one in November and one in 2014. The first would ask the public whether Coquitlam councillors should be elected to

Metro; if yes, the second question — part of the 2014 civic election — would be, what two councillors should be elected to the board? “We have the choice, as a city, to send whoever we want as a representative,” Lynch said. “All we’re saying is, let’s us, as a city, define how we want to do that.” He added, “The prob-

lem right now is we’ve got ourselves in a bit of a situation with Metro w i t h t h e Re g i o n a l Growth Strategy, which is unfortunate and, probably, we should never have gone down this road to the point where we are. Our issues should have been resolved, seeing that the other 23 jurisdictions have.”

Rioters, victims could meet

We’ll give you that beautiful smile!

Restorative justice a more meaningful and cheaper way, says CERA By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

It could take months, even years, for Stanley Cup rioters to face justice as police and special prosecutors sift through mounds of evidence and civil court cases wind their way through over-burdened courts. But there could be a quicker and cheaper way to deal with many of these cases, and what’s more, victims and rioters could face each other and hash out resolutions that are meaningful and satisfactory. Restorative justice is an alternative model of meting out justice and a Tri-City proponent believes it could be used to promote healing after the devastating post-game riot last week. “This would promote accountability, it would provide a just response to crime, it would allow the victim to speak their side of the story and for the offender to realize how their actions have impacted the victim,” said Gurinder Mann, executive director of Communities Embracing Restorative Action (CERA). Mann said programs such as CERA’s, which facilitate conferences between individuals causing harm (mostly youth between the ages of 12 and 18) and their victims would work well for youthful rioters who have shown remorse and who don’t have any criminal record.

A rioter throws a newspaper box onto a car last Wednesday in Vancouver. The process is voluntary but is usually referred by police or Crown counsel, and because it is facilitated by volunteers and takes just a month to get a resolution, can be cheaper and quicker than the court process. “It would definitely be less expensive the court system,” Mann said, adding it would work to heal the rift between rioters and the rest of the community by addressing the harm and the anger that was a swift response to the riot. “They’re angry, they’re sad, they’re dismayed about what’s happened and they want to see the individual held accountable. They want answers, they want to know why the individual acted the way they did.” he said. Such a process could bring rioters together with community representatives or individual victims to work out a resolution that addresses the harm that was

caused, Mann said. “At a time like this, I’m sure there are many communities that want to be a part of this and want their voices heard. It could be an effective tool, it would allow the community to express their side of the story.” Resolutions could range from an apology letter to paying for damages but it would be up to both the victim and the person causing the harm to come up with the plan of action. CERA has been operating in the Tri-Cities, Anmore and Belcarra and New Westminster for more than a decade, and has handled more than 300 cases, 96% of which have resulted in a successful resolution. Mann said the group has seen an increase in referrals from the Crown and police in recent months, and last year handled approximately 40 cases. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

Bob Moore, Jim Gray and Gina Johns are past and current leaders with Port Moody’s 1st Glenayre Scout troop, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this weekend with an open house at Glenayre community Centre. CRAIG HODGE THE TRI-CITY NEWS

50 years of kids playing outside PoMo’s 1st Glenayre Scout troop celebrates a half-century with an open house on Sunday By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

hen a group of parents got together in 1961 to organize Glenayre’s first Scout troop, they thought the club would give young people in the Port Moody neighbourhood something to do while learning about camping and the importance of respecting nature. Fast-forward to today and, while the faces in the troop have changed, 1st Glenayre still adheres to the same principles. This weekend, the organization is holding a 50th anniversary open house and many of the people who were a part of the troop over the years are expected to attend. Bob Moore remembers the early days of the 1st Glenayre Scout troop. The neighbourhood was still young, with developed lots sitting next to forested areas, much like Burke Mountain of today.

“I got involved in 1968,” he said. “My neighbour was a leader and he came pleading for volunteers. They had all these kids and they needed help.” Back then, he said, it was not uncommon for families to have four or five children. From the 492 homes in the area, there were enough kids to support three Cub packs and two Scout troops. There were also fewer extracurricular activities competing for young people’s time, said Jim Gray, a 1st Glenayre leader in the early 1970s. For many of the members of the troop, Scouting was the only thing they did aside from school, he added. In the Glenayre of the late 1960s and early 1970s, camping opportunities abounded. Gray said many nights were spent at the base of Burnaby Mountain, only a few kilometres from many of the Scouts’ homes. “You could just go up the hill,” he said. “We were right there.” Both Moore and Gray said they can still see the influence Scouting has had on their own sons. To this day, Moore’s son Doug keeps his Scouting experience on his resume and continues to spend a lot of his spare time hiking. Gray’s son Darren has had a

“I think getting outdoors is key for kids. Academics and athletics takes up a lot of time... but the connection to nature is definitely important.” Gina Johns, 1st Glenayre Scouts knack for cooking ever since the first time he put together a meal over a fire on a Scout camping trip. “All this stuff came through Scouting,” Gray said. “It is a very good experience for young people.” Gina Johns, a current leader with 1st Glenayre, said Scouting has helped teach her son a lot about the importance of the environment. With so many distractions for young people today, she said it is important for kids to have the opportunity to get outdoors and away from the bustle of a major metropolitan area.

“I think getting outdoors is key for kids,” she said. “Academics and athletics takes up a lot of time... but the connection to nature is definitely important.” While the 50th anniversary open house will be an opportunity for old friends to get reacquainted, Johns hopes it will also help remind people of the importance of Scouting. Volunteers are always needed, she said, and anyone who has experience with Scouts should consider helping out with their local troop. “We want people to know that Scouting is alive and well,” she said. “We want people to think about maybe coming back into the fold.”

mals, the outdoors and her disdain for her icky cousin. The Popularity Papers series chronicles two friends in Grade 5 who yearn to work their way up the social ladder. Ignatow does an amazing job at making the series feel authentic, including full-colour notes, drawings and web chats between the two girls. This is one of the smartest series I’ve read in a long time. The Strange Case

a Wimpy Kid d fans will also likely love the Big Nate series by Lincoln Peirce. The Big Nate character is from a popular syndicated newspaper comic strip and is now appearing in his own book series. Big Nate is a self-professed renaissance man who holds the school record for getting detention, and the humour is just as clever as the Wimpy books and reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes. The third book in the series, Big Nate on a Roll, will be published in August. Whether the young people in your life are Wimpy Kid fans, librarians are always eager to help kids and teens find great summer reads. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Shannon Ozirny works at Port Moody Public Library.

tter five little words — Diary of a Wimpy Kid d— to anyone aged six to 12 years of age and you will probably be met with ecstatic shrieks, screams and giggles. The hybrid comic/confessional journal series by Jeff Kinney y is a massive hit and the sixth instalment will be released Nov. 1. While kids wait with baited breath for the asyet-untitled new Wimpy book, these similarly hilarious titles should help keep them satisfied. Younger Wimpy fans in Grades 2 and 3 will love the Frankie Pickle series by Eric Wight. Franklin Lorenzo Piccolini (Frankie Pickle for short) has an overactive imagination and often finds himself slipping into elaborate, action-packed fantasies. In Frankie Pickle and the Closet of Doom, Frankie imagines himself as a young Indiana Jones when faced with the seemingly insurmountable task of cleaning his room. Like the Wimpy Kid books, Wight’s series features both comics and traditional blocks of text. Alvin Ho: Allergic to Girls, School and Other Scary Things is the first in another laugh-outloud series by Lenore Look. Second-grader Alvin Ho is frightened of everything and carries around a personal disaster kit wherever he goes. The fourth book in the series, Alvin Ho: Allergic to Dead Bodies, Funerals and Other Fatal Circumstances, is due out in September. The Ellie McDoodle series by Ruth McNally Barshaw w and the Popularity Papers series by Amy Ignatow feature lively, insightful girl protagonists. Elevenyear-old Ellie McDoodle is an aspiring artist and uses a sketchbook instead of a journal to record her witty observations of everyday life. Readers in Grades 3 to 5 will respond to Ellie’s love of drawing, ani-

of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger is a quirky, completely original read about a middle-schooler named Tommy. Tommy keeps a casebook about Dwight, a weird kid in class who claims that an origami Yoda can predict the future. Surprisingly, Dwight’s origami Yoda is able to prophesize with alarming accuracy and the novel includes all of Tommy’s casework — notes, drawings and interviews — as he tries to solve the mystery. Cheesie Mack is not a Genius or Anything g by Steve Cotler r is another one-off read that will have great appeal. The book takes place after Cheesie’s fifth grade graduation and popular children’s author Gordon Korman has praised the new character as “a true original.” Die-hard Diary of

The Highland Bagpipe It’s History- How it works & - How to play it. Join Ed McIlwiane, one of Canada’s premier professional pipers for an introduction to the pipes. This was one of our most popular features last year and Ed graciously agreed to do a repeat performance. An old piping adage states that it takes “seven years and seven generations to make a piper”. Join us and discover how bagpipes were taught before music was written; what makes a perfect sounding pipe and how the darn thing really works.

What’s in a Haggis & What was Robbie saying about it? Have you ever wondered what is really in that weird thing the Scot’s claim as their national dish? We’ll spill the guts on Haggis, and if you are a brave Sassenach you can even have a taste. Before we eat, we’ll give you Burn’s “Address to a Haggis‘: The poem recited around the world on January 25th every year. Then we’ll translate so you know what he was really saying!

The Numbers This year there will be plenty of dancers, pipers, caber tossers, venders, clans and societies… here are the numbers… 16 Piping Bands 210 Dancing Competitors 40 Heavy Event Competitors 26 Venders 12 Clans and Societies 26 Haggis (or so we think!!)

History and Intricacies of the Sword Dance & Where and Why did the Sword Dance Originate? The origins of the Sword Dance date back more than 900 years! Learn the history of “The Swords” and discover some of the lesser know types of sword dances. Our teacher will demonstrate the intricacies of the steps, show exactly where those toes are supposed to land; and just how difÀcult it is to dance over broadswords, without touching them, all while staying in time to the music. FREE LESSON – will provide an introductory lesson to a simpler dance. All welcome (children over 3 only please).

Gaelic: the Language Learn how to order a Whisky in Gaelic! Vancouver has a strong Gaelic community, which has played a key role in maintaining the vibrancy of the Gaelic language, and music in Western Canada. Vancouver’s Gaelic Society has been active in this heritage for 103 years. Join Mr. John MacLeod, President of The Vancouver Gaelic Society, for a brief and entertaining lesson in the language of the Gaels. John embodies the Motto of the Society “Follow closely traditions of your ancestry”. Ask him to teach you how to order your favourite single malt in Gaelic!

SFU Pipe Band

One of the highlights of the BC Highland Games is the great honour of having the famous SFU Pipe Band play at our event! This band is ranked the best piping band in the world and to see and hear them is a rare and exhilarating experience! The Simon Fraser University Pipe Band is a grade one pipe band afÀliated with Simon Fraser University in

Burnaby, BC. The band has consistently placed in the top three in world competition since the early ‘90s and has won the Grade One World Pipe Band Championships six times: 1995, 1996, 1999, 2001, 2008, and 2009. SFUPB is one of only three bands located outside of the United Kingdom that have won a World Pipe Band Championship. In addition, the band has placed second eight

times, Ànishing in the top two in the world in 14 of its 25 years. SFUPB regularly competes in Highland Games competitions sanctioned by the British Columbia Pipers Association in the PaciÀc Northwest before traveling to Scotland in August for the World Pipe Band Championships. The band wears the Ancient Clan Fraser tartan.

Help p Your Local Heroes AND WIN BIG Every day throughout British Columbia, thousands of heroes risk their lives to help others. Fire fighter Terry Hughes is one of those heroes – whose job it is to keep others safe, even if it means risking his own safety. He is also a Regional Director of the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund, where he often meets heroes of another kind – burn survivors. With the loyal support of more than 3,800 fire fighters across the province who volunteer their time – not to mention generous members of the public who donate – the Burn Fund offers a variety of programs to support survivors of all ages. "With our annual summer Burn Camp for kids, we give children survivors a chance to be among their peers and really just enj n oy the experience of camp," Hughes said, noting the Burn Fund's reach extends throughout B.C. and the Yukon. "Through the various programs run by the Burn Fund, we give burn survivors the ability t to gain confidence and move forward through life." As one of the largest fundraisers for the Burn Fund (www.burnfund.org), Hughes said the money raised by the Hometown Heroes Lottery provides a large and important boost to the fund's programs. "We depend very much upon the Hometown Heroes Lottery," he said. "The funds help us to continue the good work that the Burn Fund does throughout the year, and we couldn't continue without

One-act plays in Port Moody

DIANE STRANDBERG/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Coquitlam artist Douglas Charles with some of his paintings in his home studio.

‘Some paintings take months’ Nature-inspired artist will exhibit and sell work at the Coquitlam Art Club spring show this weekend By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

rtist Douglas Charles takes much of his inspiration from nature so it’s appropriate to visit him at his Coquitlam home studio when the weather is warm and the poppies are in bloom. His garden, carefully tended by his wife, Elizabeth Thunstrom, is awash in purples, yellows and oranges and, of course, a deep, rich green — just like the his colourful paintings. Step closer and look into Charles’ vision of the world and you see layer upon layer of colour. The images are there, of course, but they are more like etchings that have been scratched out as if Charles found them in the paper and merely had to reveal them the way a carver uncovers a face in a knotted piece of cedar. In fact, his technique is to build up the image with layers of paint, first masking out areas he wants to protect and then overlaying the paper canvas with a liberal splash of water and pigment, called a wash. To create different effects, Charles will dab the water/paint mixture with tissue, sprinkle it with salt or blow it around with a hair dryer. “It’s an amazing technique,” Charles said of the method he uses to create dream-like images of flowers and landscapes as well as more realistic paintings of boats in a harbour, derelict machinery, trains or old cars. He starts out with a pencil drawing and marks out the areas that he will mask. “The more information you put down on the paper [the more detailed the work],” he says, and

Peonies, an unfinished work by Coquitlam artist Douglas Charles. indeed his unfinished paintings look like paint-bynumber prints before colour has been applied. Then it’s all about controlling the saturation and this is where Charles leaves room for experimentation. “It’s a lot like research,” he says, because he’s not always sure how the colours will blend and what effect he has created until the paint is dry. Then it’s either time to make adjustments, leave the painting for a while or keep going. “Some [paintings] take months before I figure out what I’m doing.” In his basement, several unfinished paintings await his attention; Charles vows to get back to each one of them. Each is unlike the other and they show an artist who is willing to push new boundaries in his art. “I take most of my inspiration from flowers,” said

Charles, who will exhibit six of his paintings at the Coquitlam Art Club’s spring show this weekend, June 24 to 26 at the Centennial Pavilion. But the subjects he is willing to tackle are exceptionally varied and he’s not afraid to try new things. After painting with watercolours for more than a decade, Charles decided to try acrylics at the suggestion of a friend. The technique is quite different, he admits, and while he has demonstrated both determination and patience with the new medium, Charles says he’s not organized enough to excel at painting with acrylics, a quickly drying paint that can be less forgiving. But he hasn’t given up. Much of this patience and attention to detail was honed on the job as Charles worked as an interior designer for many years, coming up with ideas and then drawing plans to scale — work that used to be done by hand and is now plotted on a computer. “I got out [of the business] when it went to computer,” Charles jokes, and it’s hard to tell whether his renderings of pubs, restaurants and hotel lobbies were done by AutoCAD or with a drafting pencil as they are that exact. He loved his work but left his business behind in 1999. Still, retirement has been fulfilling, too. Charles has exhibited at Dogwood Art Club shows, the Port Moody Public Library, in the Summerland Art Gallery and most recently in the Leighton Gallery in Vancouver. Tall and bearded, Charles looks more like a lanky woodsman than a skilled artist. But his sharply detailed paintings show a man deeply moved about the world around him who is more than willing to spend some time thinking about it. • Coquitlam Art Club spring art show is on Friday, June 24 (opening reception) 7 to 9 p.m, on Saturday, June 25, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Sunday, June 26, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Centennial Pavilion, 620 Poirier St., Coquitlam.

Big hair, big fun for local actors REVIEW By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

If ever there were a stage show that matched — if not, fared better — than the movie version, it would the Arts Club Theatre Company’s production of Hairspray. Well directed, produced, cast and choreographed, Hairspray runs at the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage in Vancouver until July 10. And, luckily for TriCity audiences, the 21-member ensemble includes four actors from this region: Robyn Wallis, Darren Burkett, Allison Fligg and Kimberly Gelera. Po r t C o q u i t l a m ’s Wallis, 21, owns the role of Penny Pingleton, the high-pitched friend to the lead character Tracy Turnblad (Jennie Neumann). Wallis somehow manages to remain as stiff as a board despite the toe-tapping, hip-swaying music around her. Burkett, 23, a Coquitlam resident who is no stranger to the Arts Club Theatre Company having been in its White Christmas, Beauty and the Beast, Th e P ro d u c e rs a n d Gypsy, is the consummate performer — a triple threat with excellent dancing, singing and acting skills. He plays Fender, a friend to the hunky Link Larkin (Adam Charles). Meanwhile, Allison Fligg of Port Moody p l ay s B r e n d a , t h e dancer who leaves the Corny Collins Show for

(hmm....) nine months and whose absence creates a space that Turnblad fills. F ligg, Wallis and Gelera are making their Arts Club debuts with Hairspray, which follows the story of Turnblad in Baltimore in 1962 and her quest to make every day “Negro Day” on Collins’ show instead of every month. She is helped by C o l l i n s ( p l aye d by the outstanding Matt Palmer) who wants to update his T.V. program and to get national attention by promoting racial integration. Still, while most of Hairspray’s cast is young and energetic, it’s the older characters that steal the show. Andy Toth (the understudy to Jay Brazeau who suffered a stroke at the start of the Arts Club production) and Laurie Murdoch are magic as Turnblad’s parents; they have a sweet duet with (You’re) Timeless To Me that brings the house down. And Alana Hibbert, who is cast as Motormouth Maybelle, host of “Negro Day” and the mother to Seaweed J. Stubbs (J. Cameron Barnett), delivers a passionate rendition of I Know Where I’ve Been. If there is any criticism of the show, it’s that the talented Gelera, a PoCo resident, is miscast in her part of Little Inez, Stubbs’ sister; the same goes for Charles, wh o d o e s n’ t e x u d e enough swagger to pull off the sexy Larkin. That aside, special kudos go to PoCo’s Valerie Easton, Wallis’

Port Coquitlam resident Robyn Wallis plays Penny Pingleton in the Arts Club Theatre Company production of Hairspray, which runs in Vancouver until July 10. She is pictured with J. Cameron Barnett, whose character, Seaweed J. Stubbs, falls for the bubbly Pingleton. EMILY COOPER

Redtails flutter to BC’s

JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

SWINGIN’ INTO SUMMER

Sydney Schulter of the Port Moody Redtails takes a mighty swing during Sunday’s action in District 14 Squirt division softball championships at Mundy Park. The Redtails settled for silver against the gold-winning Ridge Meadows Tigers but both teams qualified for provincials July 8-10 in Kamloops.

Goal-starved A’s split By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Playoffs started more than a month early on the weekend for the Coquitlam Adanacs. At least it appeared that way. The A’s split a pair of gritty, lowscoring games versus their two most-heated rivals, the Victoria Shamrocks and the New Westminster Salmonbellies, to remain at .500 and in third place in the seven-team Western Lacrosse Association. On Friday, the A’s sprinted to a 4-1 first-period lead and held on for a solid 8-5 victory over host Victoria. The tables turned the next night in New West, however, as the ’Bellies bolted to 3-1 lead by the first intermission and bottled up the A’s for a stingy 7-2 win at Queen’s Park Arena. “We were a little bit disappointed losing to New West but, at the end of the day, we thought we had to go get a split and we did,” said Adanacs general manager Les Wingrove. “It was pretty much mission accomplished, but yeah, the games were pretty intense, all right.” Coupled with a 9-4 loss two Sundays ago to the Nanaimo Timbermen, the results left the A’s with a paltry 14 goals in their last three games –– far below what’s expected of a team replete with prolific stick wizards. “You go through ups and downs at various points of the season,” Wingrove rationalized. “We’ve gone from good offence with poor defence to the other way around. We just have to work at putting both parts of our game together more on a regular basis.” Against the Shamrocks, the A’s Dane Dobbie snapped an early 1-1 deadlock by netting back-

Girls go to nats

to-back goals and Coquitlam never looked back. Dobbie finished with three goals and one assist, while Victoria product Cory Conway was next on the A’s with a goal and four helpers. Other A’s marksmen were Jason Jones, Peter Veltman and Trevor Evans. Back-up Nick Rose, who blocked 45 shots, was a standout in net filling in for A’s regular starter Brandon Atherton. In New West, Dobbie and the majority of the A’s big guns were held goal-less, as Tyler Richards came up big in the ’Bellies cage in stopping 42 shots. Daryl Veltman and rookie Robbie Campbell were the only two A’s to strike net, as New West’s Cliff Smith singlehandedly drubbed Coquitlam with four goals and two assists. The 4-4-0 Adanacs look to break out of the scoring drought Saturday when they host the 3-5-1 Burnaby Lakers at Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex, 7 p.m.

JR. A’S REMAIN PERFECT

Matthew Dinsdale ripped in two goals and added six assists as the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs trimmed the host Nanaimo Jr. Timbermen 13-11 Sunday to jump to a perfect 15-0 in the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ lacrosse league standings. Ben McIntosh and Ryan Johnson added three tallies apiece for the winners, who visit the 2-13 PoCo Saints on Friday at PoCo Rec Centre, 8 p.m. The Saints won for the second time this campaign Friday, when Jimmy Delaney fired in four goals and supplied two assists as PoCo beat the Burnaby Jr. Lakers, 11-9. Nash Harrison and Danton Nicholson added two markers apiece for the Saints.

Port Moody Redtails lost but still won Sunday at Mundy Park. The Squirt ‘C’ (1112) girls minor softball team slipped 8-6 to the Ridge Meadows Tigers in the District final but still qualified for the B.C. provincial championships July 8-10 in Kamloops. The Redtails beat both Coquitlam and Ridge Meadows on Saturday to advance to Sunday’s final, which was deadlocked through five innings before Ridge prevailed in the end. Players on the Redtails included Abby Church, A l e x a D av i s, D rew Schulter, Erica Reis, Kaitlyn Teves, Lauren Gray, Mackenzie Pfoh, Maggy Spence, Nicole Pasqualini, Samantha Tonkin, Sophia Jette, Sydney Schulter and Tab i t h a Ke l ly. T h e Redtails head coach was Steve Spence, who was accompanied by assistants Rod Schulter, Tony Pasqualini and Tony Davis. Also collecting silver Sunday were the Coquitlam Devils Mite division team.

The results boosted the Reds to 9-1 in their last 10 games and to 19-15 overall, good for fifth in the 13-team loop. Brett Snowball pitched a complete-game three-hitter and shortstop Steve Kandborg smacked three hits and scored twice as the Reds posted the three-run shutout to complete the sweep. The Reds scored twice in the bottom of the second inning and once more in the fourth, with

Darren Honeysett driving in a pivotal run and Snowball fanning seven Blue Jay batters. Earlier, the Reds erupted for three runs in the fifth and survived for a one-run victory. Pitcher Matt Trimble ear ned the win, allowing three hits and striking out nine over five-and-a-third innings before relievers Benny Maeda and Dylan Patterson closed out the final two frames. Honeysett had a hit and two RBI to pace the offence, while Greg Labranche drilled a pair of hits and cashed in one run. Matt Hollingworth also had an RBI for the victors. Next home action for the Reds has them hosting the third-place Victoria Mariners in a twinbill Saturday at Mundy, 1 and 3:30 p.m.

Summer in PoCo

PORT COQUITLAM CANADA DAY 2011 F P

I hope you will be able to join us this Canada Day at Castle Park for another action-packed day that is filled with activities for the entire family as we celebrate our Canadian patriotism in Port Coquitlam! Join Council, City staff and Firefighters, Royal Canadian Legion members, along with many community stakeholders and volunteers who all make our City’s Canada Day one of the best in British Columbia. This is our opportunity to get together and

embrace being Canadian as we wear our red and white in unison, wave the flag, and share in our pride on this national day of unity. Canada Day Opening Ceremonies begin at noon and the excitement doesn’t end until dusk with a spectacular fireworks display. As you will see from our “Summer in the City” festival schedule, Canada Day is a great way to kick start the season and celebrate another great summer in Port Coquitlam. Bring your water bottles and fill them up at the Metro Vancouver’s ‘Water Wagon’, which will be featured along with many other displays including the City’s Info Tent that provides up-todate information about what’s going on in your community. I hope that you will come out and share this celebration as a community and as Canadians! Please continue to check out the City’s website for further updates at www.portcoquitlam.ca. On behalf of Council and staff, we hope to see you there! Sincerely,

Greg Moore

Two of Jane’s patients attest to the effectiveness of Acupuncture: • Edna, 74 years old, had been smoking for 61 years since she was 13 years old, often two packs a day. After just 3 acupuncture treatments she was able to quit. • Andrew, 80 years old, suffered with vertigo. Around 6 months ago he visited quite a few doctors and took a lot of medicine, but to no avail. Later, he tried acupuncture with me and after 5 treatments the vertigo was gone. He has not suffered with any vertigo for the last six months. • P. Chew, 88 years old, was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up and sleep alright, but couldn’t sit. If he did - the unbearable pain would almost paralyze him. He was given drugs, but after taking them a few times he decided to stop & come to me. Now he is free from the problem & lives happily.

Our Animal Friends – Silvina Lanusse and Raymond Chiu July 1-31 Opening Reception: Thurs, July 7 at 6-8pm Our Animal Friends examines the relationship between animals and humans. Silvina Lanusse’s acrylic series playfully explores the similarities in facial expressions and behaviour between humans and chimpanzees. This colourful adventure will both invoke thought and generate laughs. Raymond Chiu’s watercolour series shows the intimate friendship of the ever loyal canine and its master. Pat Crucil Retrospective August 5-Sept. 19 Pat Crucil is an internationally renowned fibre artist who lives in British Columbia. Her work has appeared in galleries and exhibitions across North America over the past 25 years. “I have always wanted to be a painter – to be able to express myself, my feelings and my moods, in a visual way. When I started to quilt, I realized that fabric was the medium that would allow me the freedom and scope I wanted, without the necessity of mixing paints and producing hard surfaces. The discovery that I could hand dye and paint fabric opened up a new and exciting part of the process that still challenges me today. Creating moods and feeling by the use of colour and textures in cloth is an on-going source of pleasure for me.”

City of Port Coquitlam

What makes Port Coquitlam special? When the City’s Heritage Strategic Plan was completed last year, it became clear that the 25-yearold heritage building inventory not only needed to be updated, but also expanded to include the special places that reÁ Áect the history of Port Coquitlam, such as historic trails, monuments and signiÀ Àcant landscapes. A new and comprehensive inventory of the City’s heritage resources is now underway by a heritage consultant. To guide the review, a working group has been formed of residents interested in local history and members of the Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society. Input from the community will be sought as the process unfolds. Residents will be asked questions such as: What places should be recognized by the City as important to our heritage? Where are the places that our pioneering or legendary residents may have lived or worked? What trees or monuments have special signiÀ Àcance to you? Do you have any historic views you wish to see protected? For details, visit the Heritage Resource Inventory page at www.portcoquitlam.ca/heritage, or contact Minhee Park, Planning Analyst, in the Planning Division at parkm@portcoquitlam.ca or 604-927-5249.

Get walking with new handbook Port Coquitlam is a walker’s paradise, whether you’re looking for a leisurely walk or a more challenging trek. And there’s no question that walking provides excellent low-impact exercise for people of all ages and is a great way to explore the community. To encourage more residents to hit the trails, the City of Port Coquitlam has created Places to Walk in Port Coquitlam, a free booklet featuring 18 local walking routes submitted by residents and members of the City’s free walking club. Ranging from easy to advanced levels, the routes span the city and introduce walkers to terrain that varies from urban sidewalks and forest paths to dike trails with views of meadows and mountains. Each route in the handbook is illustrated with a map, photos, length, difÀ fÀculty level, features and other details. Printed copies of Places to Walkk and other walking booklets are available at the Healthy Resource Centre at Hyde Creek Recreation Centre. Visit www.pocomotion.ca to view a webpage with downloadable PDFs of the full booklet and individual walk routes, along with information about the walking club and other walking resources.

Experience it this summer! Interested in signing up for a program this summer? Check out the City’s summer Leisure Guide, available at City facilities or www.portcoquitlam.ca/leisureguide. Issued quarterly, the Leisure Guide is a comprehensive source of information about programs and other recreation services and offerings in Port Coquitlam.

This summer, TAG will be out in the community removing illegal grafÀ fÀti from buildings and other structures. Working with Community Policing and the local RCMP, TAG has removed hundreds of tags over the last two years. Participants receive a free t-shirt and the recognition of doing something positive for their community. TAG also supports art events and legal grafÀ fÀti throughout the year.
