Taking aim at cancer Kick For A Cure to raise funds for children’s cancer research By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Four years ago, Domenic Runghen had a cold. Or, at least, that’s what his parents thought. It wasn’t until the two-year-old’s daycare operator voiced concern about the boy’s health that his father took him to the hospital. Nuvin Runghen, a Port Moody resident and dog handler with the Canadian Border Services Agency, remembers that day well.“I walked in to get him checked out and left with a child with cancer,” he said. “He had leukemia, and I had no idea.” Thankfully, after numerous treatments “that filled him with poison in his system,” doctors last month declared his sixyear-old son free of the disease. JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A cancer-free Domenic Runghen, six, of Port Moody, will be part of the fourth annual Kick For A Cure at Coquitlam Town Centre Park tomorrow (Saturday). Proceeds from the fundraiser will aid childhood cancer research.

Dan Reaveley, whose wife, Charlene, was struck and killed in an accident has started a society for families dealing with the loss of a loved one.
On the morning after his wife was struck and killed by an alleged hit-and-run driver, Dan Reaveley was left with four young kids and a burning question: “What’s next?” Kaeden, 11, Rebecca,7, Alicia, 4 and two-year-old Tristan would need grief counselling — as would he — after their mother, Charlene, 30, died along with Lorraine Cruz, 26, whom she had stopped to help on a Coquitlam roadside. The kids would also need full-time childcare and eventually, perhaps, post-secondary education, all of which would be tough to provide as a newly single parent. Still, Dan considers himself fortunate. He thanks the support — both emotional and finan-
cial — from his family, friends and community for getting him through the darkest time in his life that began last February. But, as he told The Tri-City News Wednesday, not everyone in similar situations can count themselves so lucky. “Financially, I’m not doing too, too bad,” Dan said in an interview, “but when you think about people that aren’t, it’s really hard what this could do to you.” And so, on April 4 — what would have been Charlene’s 31st birthday — Dan applied to the provincial government to establish a not-for-profit society in Charlene Reaveley’s name to provide assistance to families with children experiencing the loss of a loved one. see HELP FOR FAMILIES, FAMILIES, page 3

One admits to rioting Coquitlam man among those who went to police
JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Dan Reavely and family friend Kim Moore are co-directors of the new Charlene Reavely Children’s Charity Society, which will provide funding for grief counselling and everyday expenses, as well as other resources for families experiencing loss of a loved one.
Help for grieving families continued from front p age
That application was approved just days ago and, while Dan is still working out the details of exactly who will qualify for assistance from the Charlene Reaveley Children’s Charity Society, the society is now mandated to help grieving families by providing funding for grief counsellors and everyday expenses as well as distributing legal information packages and tips on helping kids coping with loss. In the few days that the society has been operating, it has already raised about $2,000 through donations and the sale of baby-blue bracelets featuring the Charlene Reaveley
Children’s Charity Society butterfly logo chosen by Rebecca and the society’s web address, crccs.ca. Dan said he hopes to soon have more items like lanyards, gift baskets and water bottles for sale through the website and has already applied with the federal government to register the society as a fully realized charity. “With the amount of money I’ve poured into this now — $15,000 to $20,000 — the hope is to get the ball rolling and then keep it going as long as possible,” Dan said, adding that he hopes his children one day take over the charity as a way to remember their mom. Society co-director and Reaveley family friend Kim Moore said they’re not putting any
limits on how far they see the society branching out in the future, perhaps even turning it into an international aid foundation. “My wife was big into the situation in Haiti and always wanted to adopt from over there,” Dan said. “And they would have done it too,” Moore added. “And it wouldn’t have been just one because they would have had to bring a friend too.” But for now, they’re focusing their efforts locally and are asking anyone one who wants to volunteer for the society or who may need its services to contact them through the Charlene Reaveley Children’s Charity Society website. tcoyne@tricitynews.com
A Coquitlam resident is one of 37 people that turned themselves in to police following the Stanley Cup riot in downtown Vancouver last month. The Vancouver Police Department said charges were currently being prepared for those who have come forward and more than 111 additional people are also under investigation. Hundreds more have been identified, said a VPD press release, and will become the subject of an investigation in the months to come in what police are calling a “lengthy and complex process.” “A suspect may be identified quickly in a photograph committing a crime, however investigators still need to determine the extent of their involvement,” said the press release. To date, more than 4,300 email tips, 1,500 hours of video and 15,000 images have been reviewed by police and investigative teams consisting of more than 50 police officers and civilian experts. Rioters that have turned themselves in to police come from across the r egion. Nine Surrey residents, seven from Vancouver, two from Abbotsford, four from Maple Ridge, three from Burnaby, two from New Westminster, two from Delta and two from North Vancouver, while Victoria, Tofino, Comox, West Bank and Langley each had one person come forward after the riot. Crimes being investigated vary from robbery and possession of stolen property to assault and arson. Anyone with photos or video of crimes taking place during the riot are asked to make copies and turn them over to police. Files can be sent to riot@vpd.ca. Tips can be left on the tip line at 604-717-2541 or with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Anyone who wishes to turn themselves in should call 778-838-2124 to make the necessary arrangements. gmckenna@tricitynews.com
Cash award for officer injured in crash Name withheld because officer worked on gang investigations By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
An RCMP officer who was injured in the line of duty when his motorcycle was struck by a truck during a call in Coquitlam has been awarded close to half a million dollars in damages. The plaintiff, who is referred to as Mr. X in court documents because of his role in gang investigations, was hurt while attending a call on the Lougheed Highway in 2005. The pedestrian overpass had collapsed around Chilko Drive and the officer was travelling with sirens and lights flashing when a pickup truck pulled out in front of him.
Realizing the collision was imminent, Mr. X laid down his bike and tucked himself into a ball in order to avoid serious impact with the truck. According to court documents, the defendant pled guilty to driving with undue care and attention, however he said he could not afford to fight the charges. The company the defendant was driving for when the accident occurred was included in the law suit. “The defendant has admitted liability but submits that the plaintiff ’s negligence contributed to the accident,” Justice Jane Dardi wrote in her reasons for judgement. “The defendants also contend that the plaintiff ’s claims for compensation for his injuries are excessive.” The judge awarded Mr. X $140,000 in nonpecuniary damages, $180,000 in loss of future earning capacity and $79,855 in gross past
wage loss. With the loss of housekeeping capacity, future care costs and special damages, the total came to $479,546. “The plaintiff has proven that the injuries he sustained in the accident have impaired his future earning capacity and that this impairment will harm his earning ability into the future,” the judge said. “There is a real and substantial likelihood that the plaintiff will suffer pecuniary loss because of his reduced prospects for advancement within the RCMP.” The plaintiff, who is a gang investigator with the RCMP, had his name protected in court documents due to the sensitive nature of his work. In court papers he said that many of the criminals he deals with do not respect the privacy of police officers and gang members routinely conduct counter-surveillance on

RCMP members. “I investigate cases involving gang violence and dangerous firearms, “ he said in court papers. “It is common practice for these [criminals] to verbally state their intentions of causing harm to members and family.” He told the judge about an incident where a gang associate approached him in public and tried to intimidate him by taking photo. By identifying his name in court papers, Mr. X said people he investigates would be able to link him to an address and members of his family. They would also have knowledge of some of the medical conditions he has suffered from since the accident, he added. Despite objections from the defendant, the judge chose to keep the plaintiff ’s name out of court papers. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Most pet owners consider their animal part of the family, but in times of family crisis, doctors, emergency services and social workers are often at a loss when it comes to keeping all of the family together. Filling that void here at home is a newlyminted group called the Pets-Matter Foster Care Society, a kind of pet social services society that tries to keep families together with their pets when it otherwise wouldn’t be possible. “Talking to police, social workers, doctors, I found that everyone was faced with the same thing,” said society co-director Diane Simmons. “They had patients or clients or individuals who were in crisis who had no support and who were refusing service because they didn’t want to leave their pet.” Simmons and fellow director Donna Reid decided to start the society out of their homes a few months ago when they met Baby, a six-year-old mixed-breed dog whose owner suddenly found herself paralyzed with illness but refused to get hospital care because she didn’t want to leave her companion. Baby was bounced into a kennel but when the money ran out to pay for it, was threatened with homelessness. And so, Simmons and Reid took in the pup with the goal of reuniting animal and owner if and when possible, or finding a suitable adopter if not. “Through the course of this past year, I’ve noticed that there isn’t a service anywhere that will take pets — not just dogs or cats but birds, gerbils, lizards or fish — temporarily for people who are in crisis,” Simmons said. “So that’s where the idea came from: The fact

Parked in a wheelchair or stretcher in hospital, they can quickly lose muscle strength and typically take longer to recover. And hospitals will simply hit a breaking point as the demographic bulge of seniors grows if the chronically ill elderly continue to be primarily handled by the acute care system. “We know that tsunami is coming at us,” Foley said. “If we don’t change the system, we’re not going to be able to sustain it into the future.” The trick is to deliver needed supports into homes.

Fraser Health is stepping up efforts to steer seniors away from costly hospital or long-term care beds if they can be supported and treated in their own homes. The health authority has hired five quick response case managers — based at Royal C o l u m b i a n , S u r re y Memorial, Bur naby, Abbotsford Regional and Peace Arch hospitals — to work with geriatric nurses to flag incoming patients at ERs who can instead be sent home with bolstered supports. That’s one of a series of initiatives underway collectively dubbed “Home is Right” — a broad effort to change the mindset of hospital officials, health care workers and families. “Home with appropriate supports — not hospital, not residential care — is the best place for seniors to manage their chronic conditions and live out their final days,” says Lynda Foley, Fraser Health’s executive director of home health and end of life care. Most seniors prefer to stay in their own homes, with their pets, belong-

care is needed can be arranged. The quick response c a re m a n a g e r wh o made that decision would actually accompany him home, check his medications, assess the situation and arrange follow up care by a family doctor, geriatrician and other support staff — coordinated by a community case manager. Other patients who must be admitted to hospital because of more serious symptoms can be stabilized and then shifted more quickly back to home if the necessary supports are there. The region has already increased home support service by 11 per cent over the past year, to 169,000 hours a month. The region is hiring more home support workers, who can help with grooming, bathing and managing medications. P hy s i o t h e r a p i s t s, nurses and other pro-

Mary Anne Cooper approached Evergreen Glass Studios artist Beth Thompson to design the window, titled “Sacred Tree,� for Ioco United Church. On Sunday, the window will be officially dedicated as both a commemorative artwork and as a way to preserve the living character of the historic church on the old Port Moody town site. “Glass is ever-moving, reflecting light and constantly changing,� Thompson explained in a press release. The window will be dedicated at a ceremony involving the artist, church pastor and Cooper family at 9:45 Sunday morning at the church. tcoyne@tricitynews.com

health program, says the redesign of services underway should ensure seniors feel supported and safe living at home. “Families often worry that their elderly loved one is too frail to live at home and should go to a residential care facility,�
Park said. “They need confidence that adequate community and home support programs will be there and that their care will be coordinated by the health care team.â€? • http://www.fraserhealth.ca/your_care/ home_health_services/

Is it wise to preplan? A man came in to see me the other day. He asked for a pre-planning guide and shared a story with me. One of his close friends had died recently. He had not made plans and had avoided discussions about the subject. The result was Linda Mizuguchi guesswork and confusion for his family at a very difÀcult time. The gentleman I met with said he did not want his family to go through that kind of stress. Within an hour we had completed the forms, prepaying and outlining his wishes. I made sure he had copies for his executor and for his wife and children. By noon he was on his way, content with the decision he had made. Pre-planning is a wise choice. We provide the caring service you have come to expect. Don’t just take my word for it. You be the judge.

ransit must be convenient, accessible, affordable and frequent if suburbanites are going to get out of their cars and use it. Are unlocked public washrooms also necessary? Coquitlam councillors say ‘yes’ but they may be going against TransLink in their desire for unlocked washrooms for the Evergreen Line. But why? Many major cities have public washrooms near transit stations, why can’t we? Surely, travellers shouldn’t have to beg an attendant to unlock a washroom on the Evergreen Line. There is technology that can make public washrooms convenient, clean and safe. Most people would argue that public washrooms are one of those conveniences that make a city civilized. Without them, people are inclined to use more public means to relieve themselves. If TransLink can put in fare gates that many say won’t generate enough revenue to justify the cost, then surely public washrooms should be next on their list.

’ve been waiting for some luck to hit me. Perhaps luck will come my way if I win big from a 649 Quick Pick lottery ticket or I’ll just randomly come across a free bag of money or jewels that has fallen off a pirate ship. Yes, I am waiting to be offered that perfect job or find the perfect apartment and I know that luck plays a big part in the acquisition of both of these things. Sure, skills and hard work are important but luck also has a role in the good things that happen to you. But luck, what does it really mean? A bag of horseshoes and fairy tales, good things
occurring randomly, by chance, a twist of karmic fate that is in your favour, the stars aligning perfectly just for you, for one moment, and everything will be great? Aren’t you lucky! Good luck can happen when for one moment in a specific point in the trajectory of time and whatever you want or need falls into your lap. Poof !!!! Yes, I’ve been waiting for good luck to happen to me, but recently it has not been coming my way, not at all. How does one turn this around? I know that positivity is important and you can bring good fortune upon yourself by thinking positively and believing good things will happen. After all that is The Secret. If you send good vibes out, good vibes will come back. But there is still no guarantee, it would be so much easier if there was some sort of science to it, a formula to follow.

“China may be a country without organized religion but they sure do have superstitions. And I must say that it does feel like something is working here.” NAOMI YORKE to success, and many people in China make a real effort to ensure that they make their lives and surroundings as conducive as possible. When you are on the mainland, the colour red is everywhere, people wear it and decorate everything with it because of its apparent auspicious properties and because of the fortune it will bring the wearer or decorator. Open air holes are sometimes placed in
the centres of large sky skyscrapers; this is to let the dragons pass through the building and bring good luck to the residence. This is a major architectural statement and could be considered a waste of prime real-estate in cities like Hong Kong or Shanghai, where property values are at a premium. However, if that dragon passing through the building brings all those inside good luck, one can argue that the property value has been increased. China may be a country without organized religion but they sure do have superstitions. And I must say that it does feel like something is working here. Coming from the United States where the decline in the economy is very apparent, I notice it’s different in China where money is fluid and shops are full. I feel like I should go put on some red. Naomi Yorke is a Port Coquitlam student who has lived in Shanghai, China, recently attended art school in Chicago, and is now travelling for the summer.

FACE TO FACE: Cultural norms dictate attitudes toward female fetuses
Not a natural situation O
nce upon a time, there was a people — an entire country, moreover — that professed a great love of all things natural. Except, that is, for one of the most important natural processes of all. The people, let’s call them Canadians, praised the natural beauty of their great land. They looked in awe at the magnificent mechanisms of the natural world around them. They passed laws against pollution, carbon emissions, and the dumping of toxic wastes in order to protect nature. They preserved great expanses of natural ecosystems. Why, they even bought natural foods and natural remedies in copious quantities. But these nature-loving Canadians had a blind spot. While they loved, adored or even worshipped the many natural things around them, they ignored a vital aspect of their own natural beings. You see, nature has chosen to give we humans an equal number of baby girls and baby boys. It’s only natural, since one woman and one man come together to procreate. One would think that Canadians, of all people, should recognize this essential, natural balance. Instead, they have willingly allowed a decidedly unnatural process to take
place—the gender-based culling of unborn baby girls. In fact, Canada has no law whatsoever regulating abortion, with the result that gender imbalances are beginning to show up in some communities, according to a 2006 report, “Canada’s Lost Daughters,” by investigative journalist Andrea Mrozek, now with the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada. The problem is more acute overseas, where hundreds of thousands of female fetuses are aborted every year in countries such as India and China, according to a recent Maclean’ss cover story. Nevertheless, Canada has no official foreign policy opposing sex-based abortion. My colleague on the other side of the page is ready to sacrifice these unwanted baby girls on the altar of feminism and choice, and also professes to see my opposition to the rampant purging of unborn girls as a none-too-subtle pro-life initiative. I cannot claim to be without convictions in this matter. But I would rather be guilty of defending the natural goodness and intrinsic beauty of newly created human life than be responsible for abetting the destruction of a class of humanity because of prejudice, ignorance or misguided ideology.

ucks Unlimited is an organization dedicated to defending the marshland habitat of wild ducks. It works tirelessly to protect soggy environments in order to assure there will be enough healthy ducks to allow them to participate in their real passion, shooting ducks. My colleague embraces a similar paradox when he talks about “gendercide” — a recently coined term which anti- abortionists use to profess concern for the plight of women, when their real agenda is to remove a woman’s right to choose. Gendercide statistics in many countries are increasingly alarming, as my “pro-life” colleague has undoubtedly pointed out. Female fetuses are aborted and female babies are killed because of cultural and parental preferences for boys. We all agree these practices are abhorrent and must change. The word “gendercide” is apropos when used to describe the appalling practice of culling female children, but it’s not apropos to use it to indict abortion as the reason for the practice. That’s like saying that slavery in the U.S. could have been subdued if they had only outlawed the growing of cotton. The problem in misogynist cultures is not ultra sound-technology, new gender identification methods,

or abortion; it’s culture; cultures and religions that de-value women, girls, and female babies. Reactionary interventions won’t stop gendercide or infanticide, nor will they protect women from cultures and religions that don’t respect women. I’m sure that the father and family make most of the grisly decisions made in these cultures, not the mother. It would thus seem to behoove us to work to strengthen a woman’s right to control her body, rather than propounding we remove that right. That said, I confess to be at a loss as to what would help stop or slow this cultural practice. I do, however, know what won’t help. Saving future women by not allowing current women control over their bodies won’t help. Reversing scientific progress by restricting ultra sound, stem cell research, or amniocentesis won’t help. And alas, dropping smart bombs or Bibles on these countries also won’t help. We shouldn’t try to save the environment so we have ducks to shoot, and we shouldn’t try to parlay a human rights horror into an argument against a human right for which women have fought so long and hard.

The Editor, It may seem that Coquitlam council is a champion for challenging Metro Vancouver on the Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) but let’s go back to over a year ago when council’s main request was to remove the Westwood Plateau golf course, several city-owned active parks, and many of our environmentally sensitive stream areas out of a green zone of “conservation/recreation” into the more development- friendly designation of “general urban.” This request did not impress our citizens and finally, after one year of consistent pressure from the Westwood Plateau Community Association and our city watchdog group Coquitlam Council Watch Coquitlam, council agreed to reverse these changes to Metro but shortly after pulled out of the entire plan. This past Monday, after what will possibly be thousands and thousands of dollars in arbitration, they finally accepted the Metro plan with no real changes claiming that they were disputing the agreement due to the lack of consistency of regionally significant areas. But it would appear that what they were really upset about was losing control of our green areas for potential development. In fact, when questioned by one of our citizens as to when the golf course and green spaces will be officially back into “conservation/recreation” both staff and council could not give an answer — when it should have been one of the priorities in this negotiation. Obviously your quality of life and the protection of your parks, green spaces and golf course, are not one of the priorities of the majority of this current council. We need to choose leaders that will protect our green spaces and not just give lip service to them. Elisabeth Baldazzi Coquitlam

Signs of the times The Editor, Port Moody: great gag but your forgot to take down the signs after April Fool’s Day! I like the way you guys think. Making Gatensbury hill a bike route? It’s a classic “gotcha.” I love it! I know very few recreational cyclists or even commuter cyclists that can make that hill. It’s a brutal and unrelenting grade from bottom to top. Especially funny when you have other hills, such a Thermal, that are far more manageable for cyclists. Better yet, you’ve put dividers on the road and kept the double yellow solid lines so even the most impatient driver won’t be able to safely or legally pass a cyclist who is going up the hill. Those “form a single line” signs are great as well. I’m a patient driver but even I don’t think that I could stay behind the cyclist version of me going 7 km/h up that hill. All sarcasm aside, I appreciate every new bike route that a city puts in. At least you’re trying. Hint, hint Port Coquitlam. Mike Romaniuk Port Coquitlam

City gets ready to sell 30 acres on Burke Mountain By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
A large swath of land in an undeveloped part of northeast Coquitlam could look dramatically different in the coming year as the city prepares to sell off more than 30 acres. Perry Staniscia, Coquitlam’s manager of lands and properties, said a recent council decision to cancel undeveloped road and lane allowances for land east of the unfinished David Avenue — and consolidate them with surrounding parcels — paves the way for future
sales. While consultation is still underway to develop a neighbourhood plan for Partington Creek, the upper Smiling Creek area could see construction as early as 2012. “We want to be in a state of readiness so we are not behind the eight ball,” he said. “We want to be ready if there is a resurgence in the market place.” A road and lane plan was drawn up in the early 1920s, but Staniscia said it did not appear that city planners of the day paid much attention to the area’s topography. By cancelling the road and lane
allowances, a developer would have an easier time accommodating the area’s natural geography, in order to maximize the land use potential. Four parcels, or what Staniscia calls super blocks, were impacted by the road cancellations. Lot one currently sits at the end of David Avenue, while lots two and three are located south of David, along roads that have not been built or named. The fourth lot is located along Marigold Street, east of the the first three lots. The sale of the land will benefit the city financially, but how much is still up for debate.
Depending on the property, an acre on the Burke Mountain area can sell for as low as $30,000 or as much as $1.1 million. Riparian or steep grade areas, which are not developable, tend to sell for less while flatter land sells for more. “You have to be careful establishing market values up there because there is so much variance from property to property,” he said. “There are a lot of properties where you take five acres, but you can only use one acre for development.” Proceeds from the land sales go into a separate fund, which is
sometimes used for the purchase of more property; however, it is too early to say what the city will do with the money it makes from selling the land, he said. The next decision city planners have to make is whether to service the area before bringing the land to market. Roads and infrastructure, he said, can increase the value of the property but there are risks involved. In the time that it takes to build the appropriate services, the demand for the land can change and there is a possibility the city could miss the market, he added.

Metro rates to rise 44% in five years By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
Even if local city councils freeze their property tax rates, homeowners across Metro Vancouver are in for years of steep increases in the regional taxes and utility fees they pay. The typical home now pays Metro Vancouver $513 a year when the regional district’s property tax and fees for sewer, water and waste are all added up. But that’s slated to rise to $600 by 2013 and hit $740 per home by 2016 — a 44% increase over five years. The numbers are contained in a financial projection tabled at Metro Vancouver’s finance committee Thursday. The main culprit so far is the recently built $800-million SeymourCapilano water filtration plant, which is now driving up water rates. But Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who chairs the finance committee, said garbage and recycling costs are also set to climb — how high won’t be known until the provincial government decides how Metro should dispose of excess garbage and the region signs contracts with either a landfill or waste-to-energy firm. The analysis estimates Metro’s garbage tipping fee will climb from $97 per tonne now to $153 by 2014 and $205
by 2016. The projected increases are conservative and could come in lower than estimated, Brodie added. The biggest bill on the horizon is the more than $1.4 billion required to rebuild the Iona and Lions Gate sewage treatment plants over the next two decades. Brodie said Metro wants the provincial and federal governments to provide “major contributions” to those costs, particularly since the upgrades from primary to secondary sewage treatment are mandated by Ottawa. The re gion is also weighing whether to adjust the formula for paying for the sewage projects. Under the current system, much of the burden is to fall on the cities that use Iona and Lions Gate — Vancouver and the North Shore. “Our staff are looking to see if the division of cost is reasonable and equitable,” Brodie said, calling the projected hit to those cities “very, very significant.” Mayors say the challenging regional cost increases and inevitable hit to homeowners from Metro Vancouver underscore their argument that taxpayers are in no position to accept higher property taxes to also pay for transit upgrades, including the Evergreen Line to Coquitlam Town Centre. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Kick For A Cure fest aims to raise $100k continued from front page
Still, “life will never be the same again,” he said, “because once you cross the line of cancer you can’t go back. You rejoice that he doesn’t have it anymore but the damage that this treatment caused to his upbringing is far from over. “We can’t celebrate because there are so many kids out there with it,” he said. Tomorrow (Saturday), Runghen will drive that message home at the fourth annual Kick For A Cure, a soccerfest he started just after Domenic was diagnosed. The event will see up to 5,000 participants converge on Coquitlam Town Centre Park, a new site for the cause, and will attempt to raise $100,000 for the Coquitlam-based Michael Cuccione Foundation, which has a lab at the BC Children’s Hospital and aims to fight childhood cancer. Kick is also held in memory of Dominic M o b i l i o, a f o r m e r Whitecaps player who died in 2004. At the time of his death, Mobilio — a cousin of Cuccione’s — had been named the head coach of B.C.’s under-16 girls’ soccer team. Part of Kick also supports the Whitecaps Fo u n d at i o n , wh i ch helps to get B.C. youth fit. Gloria Cuccione said the lab in her son’s name currently has seven researchers “and they have had some breakthroughs, which is exciting,” she said, adding 87% of kids di-
agnosed with leukemia are now beating it. To date, Cuccione said the foundation has collected $8 million over the past 16 years, including $71,000 from past Kick tournaments, for the pediatric oncology lab. Since Kick For A Cure started, five of Runghen’s border patrol colleagues have had children diagnosed with cancer. “Children’s cancer is all over the place and, as a parent, your normal life ceases to exist. Today, we are blessed to have our kid alive but we have to continue the fight,” he said. • Saturday’s Kick For A Cure, which is

For the sixth year in a row, Coquitlam smokeeaters fired up the grill for their annual sockeye salmon charity barbecue at the Coquitlam Far mers’ Market on Poirier Street. T h e Po r t H a r dy hooked fish was served up last Sunday to shoppers looking for local produce — just as organizers also launched the market’s 15th year in Coquitlam. Terri Evans, chair of the Coquitlam Farmers’ Market Society and market co-founder, said the local stall was the second farmers’ market established in the region — and it has remained robust as foodies search for the latest and freshest nosh. As well, Evans said, “They get to meet the producers and lear n more about how they grow the food, what the labour costs are and how the weather can impact everything.” Diversity is the key to a thriving market, she said, pointing to the seafood, poultry, beef, jam, veggies, bread and honey for sale by vendors. August’s feature food will be blueberries, she said. As for the 15th anniversary celebrations, Evans said the official kick-off will be next month and will be followed by community events in the fall at both the Poirier and Spirit Square locations. The Spirit Square venue — a new addition to the society, which runs on Fridays from 4 to 8 p.m., south of Coquitlam city hall — “is beautiful.... We
get a lot of customers that walk to market or use public transit. It’s a higher-density area and reflects the diversity of contemporary Coquitlam. I really enjoy seeing that space come to life,” she said. Visit makebakegrow. com/our-markets/.

IF YOU SEE A BEAR IN YOUR YARD...
ALL OF THE TRI-CITIES IS BEAR COUNTRY Take steps to rid your yard of bear attractants but if a bear wanders into your yard don’t make it feel at home. Here are things you can do: • Keep pets and children indoors. • Yell or make noise with an air horn from a safe place inside your home.

RBC staff recently delivered $2,500 to the Port Moodybased Crossroads Hospice Society as part of its donation to support Hike for Hospice. About 25 RBC employees joined the hike in May while Jon Adams, RBC assistant branch manager at Coquitlam Town Centre, was the site co-ordinator at the PoCo event. “We are so grateful for our relationship with RBC,” said Barb Henham, Crossroads’ executive director (second from right).
FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
Port Moody Rotarians recently handed over $10,000 to the Douglas College Foundation to help students in caring programs like nursing, therapeutic recreation and community social services. College v-p Hazel Postma a accepted the donation from Rotarian foundation president Ron Baker during a Rotary meeting this month. Meanwhile, the recent Unwined — Sip, Savour and Mingle fundraiser at Coquitlam Centre mall poured in $17,000 for Douglas student bursaries. That party drew more than 300 people who quaffed vintage vinos, tasty coolers and craft beers and sampled appetizers from Tri-City eateries. “Education is the foundation of a prosperous community,” said Deborah Stetz, director of marketing for Coquitlam Centre, in a news release, “so when we were planning how we could support education in the Tri-Cities we thought of an event that incorporated education as well as raised money for bursaries.”
• Once you are sure the bear has left, be sure to remove all potential attractants including ripe fruit, garbage, petfood and dirty barbecue grills. • Don’t get complacent, a return visit is likely if bear attractants aren’t removed. • Secure waste until between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. on collection day.
See bearaware.bc.ca for more information on bear safety. To report a problem bear, call the Conservation Officer Service at 1-877-952-7277.

Two of Jane’s patients attest to the effectiveness of Acupuncture: • 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.

Coquitlam will mark its 120th year on Monday, July 25. It’s come a long way since 1891 when the municipality of the District of Coquitlam was officially incorporated. Back then, Frank Ross and James McLaren opened Fraser Mills, a state-of-the-art sawmill that cost $350,000, in what is now Maillardville. Coquitlam now has a population of more than 120,000.

come home, the dog would swim across the Coquitlam River with the duck on Mickey’s back! Long-time resident Don “Red” McLaine recalls when he and Colin Ticehurst went in together as business partners to make money raising pigs. After a falling-out as to what to feed the piglets, Don built a pen in his dad’s back yard, and things were good until the pigs got bigger, and he had to

As Don said later: “Here I am, half out of my mind on what to do.” The man who sold him the pigs told him: “Don’t worry son, when it gets dark, they’ll come home.” And they did.

The Good Eats Café was a popular eating and meeting spot on the old Dewdney Trunk Road from the 1940s to the 1970s.
£
n our last Your History column for Port Coquitlam, we recalled Nick and Doris Stevenson stopping by the Good Eats Café on the way back to Burnaby in 1944, and deciding to settle down here. The café had been around for 20 years or so, when Oral (Pop) Ticehurst from Montreal purchased it from Charles Arford in 1941. Located on Dewdney Trunk Road between Stewart’s Tailor Shop and McPherson’s Confectionary, it was a popular place for visitors and townspeople alike. In 1945, one could enjoy a full-course meal for $1.50, or one of Myra Ticehurst’s famous 5 cent ice cream cones. In 1947, Oral and Myra decided a larger venue was required, and a new and larger building called Pop’s Café was opened across the street next to the CPR Station. There was good business from passengers coming to and from the station, of course, but also from the Huntingdon Rubber Mill located across the tracks as well. Nurses and staff from Essondale Hospital would walk down to dine, and the CPR used Pop’s Café as their taxi depot for crews coming to and from New Westminster. Oral was also the unofficial banker on pay days, cashing cheques of CPR men, tug boat skippers and military personnel among others. Oral Ticehurst passed away in 1952, leaving his wife Myra, daughter Marguerite, sons Graham, Colin and Ross to run the business until 1967. The café was under different ownership when re-named The Red Chopsticks shortly after, but by the 1970’s, the area’s importance was slowly fading away. Many of the buildings along Dewdney Trunk Road were abandoned or demolished, but not after leaving behind some colourful stories. Oral Ticehurst had bought a white duck from a local boy for 25 cents, after being saved from the CPR oil pond. It became a family pet, and was often seen stopping traffic as it strutted across the busy street, through the café’s front door and out to the backyard. The family also had a dog named Mickey, who used to roam around town on both sides of the river. When it was time to

Walk First annual Tri-Cities walk for ALS Aug. 13 for Life Aug. 21 Walk to find a cure and prevent kidney disease during the Walk for Life around Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam Sunday, Aug. 21. People with kidney disease, dialysis patients, their family, friends and other supporters are encouraged to take part in either a 2.5K walk or 5K fun run with the goal of raising $15,000. According to information from the Kidney Foundation of Canada, more than 36,000 Canadians are living with kidney failure or are undergoing treatment or living with a kidney transplant. In the Fraser Health Authority, which includes the Tri-Cities, approximately 919 people are on dialysis and 2156 are in pre dialysis. Registration for the walk begins at 9 a.m. and the walk begins at 10 a.m. For more information about the walk and how to get involved, visit www.tricitieskidneywalk.ca
Calling all young writers Budding authors ages 10-13 are invited to learn about the creative writing process from bestselling young adult author Pam Withers. Participants will learn how to conduct research to make their writing more authentic and how to find, approach, and get information from experts. The workshop also includes a practice session that will have young writers laughing and learning at the same time. A former associate editor of Adventure Travel magazine, Withers has written over a dozen books about extreme sports and outdoor survival. Her workshop is jam-packed with entertaining anecdotes about her writing research. When she wrote a wilderness survival novel about snowboarding, Withers took up the sport, interviewed avalanche survivors and studied helicopter accident reports. You can find more information on Withers and her novels at www.pamwithers. com This free program requires registration and space is limited. Drop by the library information desk before July 26 to register or call 604469-4577. Calling allCalling all
Join the First Annual Tri-Cities Walk for ALS and help support research into the cause of and cure for ALS and to support patient services provided
by the ALS Society of B.C. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive, neuromuscular disease. It attacks the
motor neurons that transmit electrical impulses from the brain to the voluntary muscles in the body. When these muscles fail to receive messages, they
lose strength, atrophy and die. ALS can hit anyone at any, time regardless of age, gender, or ethnic origin, according to the ALS Society of B.C.
On Saturday Aug. 13t the First Annual Tri-Cities Walk for ALS will take place at Town Centre Park (in the grass area west o f L a f a r g e L a ke ) ,
Coquitlam. Registration is at 10 a.m. with the 5km walk getting under way at 11 a.m. Find out more at www.walkforals.ca.

PoCo guide makes walking easy for all By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Finding a place to lace up a pair of sneakers and go for a walk just got a little easier in Port Coquitlam. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks and recreation department has put together a free guide-book listing 18 different routes and their level of difficulty. Each walk has a brief writeup in the pamphlet, outlining the distance, terrain and what landmarks and sights the walker may come across along the way. The initiative was spearheaded by PoCoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s active communities co-ordinator Nathan Taylor, who put the list together with feedback from residents and several local walking clubs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an opportunity for people to get out and explore their community a little bit,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use walking because it is one of the easiest and simplest things people can do add more exercise into their daily life.â&#x20AC;? So far, the booklet has been popular with residents. Taylor has had difficulty keeping copies of it at the city hall brochure kiosk, so he made it available for downloading online. The walks are organized into different levels of difficulty. The 3.5-km Castle Park-Citadel

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity for people to get out and explore their community a little bit.â&#x20AC;? NATHAN TAYLOR Landing Loop, for example, is marked in the easy category, while the 25-km Traboulay Trail walk is listed as advanced. A 6.5 km walk around DeBoville Slough is considered moderate. Taylor said the routes around Hyde Creek are probably the most popular. The area around Gates Park has also been popular in large part to the outdoor gym, where people can stop off at the facility for a brief workout before continuing on with their route, he added. The booklet could see some changes in its later editions, Taylor said, and new route suggestions are always welcome from members of the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to take advantage of other areas in the city we not have looked at yet,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the future we are certainly hoping to expand the book.â&#x20AC;?
The booklet is currently available at city hall, Hyde Creek Recreation Centre and the Port Coquitlam Recreation Complex.

BUNTZEN LAKE: PARKING GUIDELINES Buntzen Lake is one of the most popular BC Hydro recreation sites in the province. We encourage the public to enjoy the area, and be familiar with the parking policies. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in place to ensure public safety and emergency access. Why does BC Hydro limit parking access?

BC Hydro limits visitor parking to ensure emergency vehicles have access to the site. Long line-ups can block Sunnyside Road in Anmore and access to the Sasamat Volunteer Fire Hall. In cooperation with the Coquitlam RCMP who have policing authority for the area, BC Hydro does not permit line-ups for parking outside the gate because the line-ups impact emergency access. What is the policy? Once the parking lot is full, the gate is closed until enough spaces are available to handle visitor capacity for the rest of the day. Parking lots may have a number of spaces available while the gates are still closed. Other non-BC Hydro regional parks in the Lower Mainland have similar policies. Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the public drop-off and pick-up people inside the gate? Drop-offs and pick-ups also cause line-ups, preventing emergency access to the park. Public safety is a priority for BC Hydro. Although Buntzen Lake has close to 600 parking spaces, BC Hydro encourages visitors to arrive early. Parking is on a ďŹ rst-come basis only. No re-entry is permitted. Visitors are reminded that footpath access from the parking area to South Beach is 2.3 kilometres. 2969

Cycling for lung health Twelfth year for local A Tri-City resident will be cycling 200 kms in support of lung research this fall. Russell Enair of Port Coquitlam will be participating in the BC Lung Association’s annual Bicycle Trek for Life and Breath for his 12th year. “My friend Peter asked me to join him years ago and now it’s our annual ritual,” says Enair. “We’ve gotten to know so many people, many who return like us year after year. It’s a great time for a great cause.” Over 350 cyclists participate annually in the 200km recreational ride from White Rock to Cultus lake and back. The ride through

“Believe it or not, instead of getting slower as the years go on, my ride times have gotten faster.” Russell Enair the Fraser Valley supports vital lung health research, programs and clean air initiatives. The ride takes place September 10-11, and is designed for cyclists of all levels. Participants must raise $475, and fundraising in-
centive prizes include a trip for two to Hawaii. In the ride’s 27 year history, over 5 million dollars have been raised. Enair trains for his annual ride by cycling from his home to job in North Vancouver. “Believe it or not, instead of getting slower as the years go on, my ride times have gotten faster,” says Enair. “Now that may well be because we’ve been able to afford more expensive equipment or simply the effect of some good-humoured competition between fellow ‘Trekkers’. I don’t know, but it sure feels great.” Fore more info or to register call the BC Lung association at 604-731-5864

New award for volunteerism Canadians across the country have a new opportunity to recognize the exceptional contributions that volunteers make in their communities. Diane Finley, minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, has announced the Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards first call for nominations. “The Government of Canada is proud of the millions of volunteers, businesses and not-for-profit organizations that generously give their time, experience and expertise to make their communities stronger,” stated Finley in a press release. The call for nominations will run from now until Sept. 9, 2011. The awards will recognize individuals or groups of volunteers, businesses and not-for-profit organizations in five regions across Canada, and will offer a national award in two categories: one for lifelong achievement and one for new volunteers. Visit www.pm.gc.ca/awards for more information on the awards program, eligibility criteria and the nomination process.

Home ShowRE REVIEW EVIEW A cup of blueberries a day keeps the doctor away IN THE GARDEN Brian Minter
I
f you love blueberries for their wonderful flavour, eat lots and keep eating them because they are one of the best natural health foods we have. At the USDA Human Nutrition Centre, they have determined that when compared to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables, blueberries are number one in antioxidant activity. In other words, they help neutralize harmful by-products of metabolism called free radicals, which can lead to cancer and many age-related diseases. Anthocyanin, the pigment that creates the blue colour in blueberries, is primarily responsible for the major health benefits. But there’s more: Researchers at Rutgers University have found a compound in blueberries that promotes urinary tract health and reduces the risk of infection. European and Japanese scientists have documented the relationship between anthocyanin and improved eyesight and the easing of eye fatigue. The American Chemical Society has released information about a substance in blueberries, called pterostilbene, which has the potential to lower cholesterol. Further USDA research has also found that various compounds in vacciniums are helpful in reducing obesity and heart disease. There is a great deal of research now taking place on the many health benefits of blueberries, but if you eat about a cup a day, you just might be the beneficiary of all kinds of good stuff.
Blueberries are just now available in stores and at fruit stands but in the home garden, blueberries are one of the easiest plants to grow. In spite of all you’ve heard about pollination, blueberries are technically self-fertile. Production, however, is far better if two or more different varieties are planted. To say blueberries love acidic soil is an understatement. It is also important to choose a location that is rich in organic matter, but be careful to avoid manures. There are genetic dwarf, low bush and high bush varieties of blueberry plants, so they can fit into almost any garden area. Don’t hesitate to blend them in with other acid-loving broad-leaved plants like rhododendrons, Pieris japonica or Viburnum tinus. Treat your blueberry plants more as ornamentals rather than small fruits, and use them as part of your landscaping. One plant by itself looks out of place, but a grouping of three or five, placed close together, blends nicely into any planting. For a real novelty, try a true dwarf variety called Top Hat. This compact strain seldom grows over 18 inches high and is well suited to bonsai pots. Granted, its flavour is not quite the same as some of the commercial varieties, but its fruit still tastes good on cereal or over ice cream. A more flavourful low variety is the cute little Brunswick that only grows six to eight inches high and two feet wide and is quite at home planted in a bed of heathers or dwarf conifers. Most blueberry varieties fall into early, mid or late season classifications. With our ideal growing area, I recommend planting one of each type.

JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Redhawks’ ironman Scott Fenton has been toiling in the PoCo Over-30 men’s baseball league since 2004 and missed his first game since then June 26, ending his overall playing streak at roughly 400 games.
Great Scott’s streak stops, only he doesn’t By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
H
e played the day his dad died. He played the day after he had 52 stitches sewn into his wrist following extensive surgery. And he plays today with a herniated disc in his back that causes him sheer agony whenever his six-foot-one, 280-pound frame barrels around the bases. Mind you, Scott Fenton did not play June 26, marking the first game he’s missed in the PoCo Over-30 men’s baseball league since he joined the faction eight years ago. That day, the 38-year-old catcher was in Atlanta, Ga. tending to industrial-sales job demands from which he couldn’t escape but likely would have if he wasn’t roughly 2,000 nautical miles away from planting his spikes into the diamond dirt at Thompson Park. And that’s what dead-stopped his streak of what he measures to be 400 straight games, including playoffs, PoCo Over-18 fall ball and serving as a spare “at least 50 times” at one
time or another on each of the PoCo Over30’s other eight teams. Sounds like a fair excuse. Just don’t let it happen again, man. “I take a lot of pride playing in this league,” says an earnest Fenton, who played 133 straight games, clobbered a league-best 102 RBI and batted for a .335 average since the PoCo Over-30 loop began keeping official stats in 2006. “It’s not about being an individual on an individual team. It’s about doing what’s best for the league as a whole.” Fenton played PoCo minor ball since he was age 5 when he was first influenced by his father, Darryl, a former playing great with the old Vancouver Pharaohs senior men’s squad. At 13, Fenton toiled for the national-champion Coquitlam Little League Junior division team which now, remarkably, houses six players on his PoCo Over-30 men’s squad, the Redhawks. Fenton wears No. 9 in memory of his dad, who used to wear the same digit when he played and died from a stroke suddenly at

“It’s not about being an individual on an individual team. It’s about doing what’s best for the league as a whole.” Scott Fenton home in summer 2009. Later that day, Fenton suited up and played for the Redhawks in a league game at Maple Ridge’s Larry Walker Park. “He would have wanted me to play,” reasons Fenton, noting that today (Friday), ironically, marks the second anniversary of his dad’s passing. “I’ve gone through a lot of adversity, without saying. You’ve got to be a diehard to play at this age.” That same year, a tumor formed on the top of Fenton’s right wrist –– his throwing hand –– that was fortunately found to be benign

but still required removing. The next day, he played primarily just to keep his ironman streak intact. He did more than that. He went three-for-four at the dish, including swatting a home run virtually one-handed over the fence at Heritage Woods field. A week later, he was still swinging when the stitches began to pull apart. “A teammate of mine said ‘You better not keep playing... you’re a health risk,’” Fenton recalls. “I said ‘No, I’ll be fine.’ But then it got infected. So I’d just press the yucky white stuff [infection] out and just keep playing.” Fenton first stated playing in the PoCo Over-30 league in 2004 by happenstance, when he drove by Thompson and stopped to watch a little baseball before realizing the players were considerably more experienced than he first figured. “I thought the players were, like, 18 and then I realized they were my age or older,” Fenton says. see FENTON, page 46

Fenton a force in Over-30 ball – on & off field continued from page 45
Fenton’s first game was as a spare with nowcommissioner Bevan Blatchford’s Cubs unit. He promptly stepped up to the plate and swatted a dinger. The next year, he was a no-brainer top pick in the league’s annual draft. He has since done much more than merely play, often volunteering his services to help tend to such matters as grooming fields and organizing the league’s social events. “Ninety per cent of the work is done by 10 per cent of the people,” Fenton says. “That’s just the nature of it.” Cardinals manager Steve Rizzo was the PoCo Over-30’s commissioner when Fenton entered the loop and laughs good-naturedly about the latter’s league involvement, and persistence, ever since. “You can say he’s always there to offer his advice –– wanted or unwanted,” Rizzo chuckles. “What he doesn’t have in style he makes up for with class. He’s a good, kind-hearted fellow whose heart’s definitely in the right place. That’s what makes him the ironman he is.” Fenton’s wife, Candi, and nine-year-old daughter Jenna often accompany him to games and cheer him on. “I have no problem [with him playing]... I’m letting him do what he wants to do,” Candi says. “I know he’s a trooper. He gets his wounds but always gets back up fighting.” So how many more seasons –– and contusions –– does Fenton figure he has left in him? “A couple more, maybe,” he says. “It’s a lot of fun but it wears on you.” So insists the man who just can’t stop playing –– pain and all. lpruner@tricitynews.com

Famous fight with a fish in 1940 TIGHT LINES Jeff Weltz Fooling ’em with fly only matters “I hooked a lunker some 200 yards above the bridge at Yellowstone Park. I think it was 1940. “I wiped the bank of fishermen before I brought him to a sand bar. He measured at 28 inches as he lay in some six inches of water. Some 12 to 15 people fishermen and dudes saw me do this –– spectators of the fight, attracted by the fuss. “Then I slipped the hook out of his mouth and watched him swim tiredly back to deep water. The howls of anguish that went up
from the crowd are still echoing up and down the river...‘Why didn’t you take him?’... “A 28-inch cutthroat is some kind of record, I think. I have often wondered what he weighed. I had all I could use. Why kill wildlife for no reason than to weigh it? I won the fight. I fooled him with my fly. “What else matters?” –– John Russ, Iowa City, Iowa, from the book Practical Flies and their Construction, Copyright 1966. In answer to a request from my friend, Wayne, over the next series of columns I will share some, what I believe to be, secrets to successful fishing. My first secret is to read, and read often. Try to avoid the prejudices that some display and read what is offered from all sides of sport
fishing –– locally, across the nation and abroad. No one person knows it all or ever will. My second secret is don’t take more than you honestly need. I personally believe one of the biggest detriments to our freshwater fisheries, in the past century was the miss use of the Coleman cooler. This one item enabled short-sighted anglers to bring home buckets of fish that rotted in home freezers unused. Now before you dump all the blame on Coleman, remember they were only a supplier. It was the anglers notthinking about future generations that filled all those coolers.
