BACK TO SCHOOL

Slow and easy near schools, say police By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

JENNIFER GAUTHIER/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

With children heading back to school next week, police are offering Tri-City parents and motorists tips on how to keep the trip to school and work safe. “The biggest problem ends up being traffic backlog,” said Const. Luke van Winkel of the Port Moody Police. “There are lots of people trying to get to the same place, parents dropping kids off wherever they find parking and kids running out, and not leaving enough time to get to school with the increased cars on the road.” Van Winkel cautioned everyone, whether they’re driving or taking transit to school or work, to leave extra time to get to their destination next week. “When people don’t factor that into their morning commute, they start driving faster,” he added. “Everybody just needs to give themselves enough time to get to their destination safely.”

Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet and other Tri-City police officers are urging parents, kids and commuters to play it safe as students head back to school next week. While drivers need to be especially attentive near schools, children also have to keep an eye out for cars when crossing the road.

Bear season is not over yet in Tri-City Cities urging area residents to pick fruit before it attracts bears By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Conservation officers are asking the public to pick fruit from their trees — before it ripens — after a sow and two cubs were removed from a Port Coquitlam backyard this week. On Tuesday, provincial gover nment crews tranquillized and tagged the black bear and its youngsters as they ate plums at a Stevenson Street home, near Kitchener Street.

Terry Myroniuk told The Tri-City News the animals were not considered aggressive but the sow had been removed two years ago from Jervis Street, about three blocks away. At the time, it was feeding on garbage with two different cubs. They were moved with the sow at least 100 km away, he said, declining to give the exact location. Myroniuk said the mother would have been destroyed Tuesday had it not been for her cubs as the sow has a pattern of taking its offspring to residential areas to feed. “If she had been a boar or a female without cubs, it’s unlikely we would have relocated her,” he said. see CITY NOTICES NOTICES,, page A13

Fox’s sacrifice behind Nash’s film on Terry By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS

documentary co-directed by Canadian NBA star Steve Nash about Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope will premiere next Sunday at the Toronto International Film Festival. Titled Into the Wind, the movie tells the tale of the Port Coquitlam icon’s 143-day odyssey — in particular, his athleticism and determination — and its release coincides with the 30th anniversary of Fox’s cross-country run to raise money for cancer research. Besides the TIFF screening Sept. 12, the flick is also expected to be shown on TSN Sept. 19, the day of the 30th annual Terry Fox Run in Canada, and at the Vancouver International Film Festival, which runs Sept. 30 to Oct. 15. Produced by ESPN Films as part of its “30 by 30” series, the movie features a number of interviews, including with Doug Alward, Terry’s best friend, and Darrell Fox, his brother, who accompanied him on the Marathon of Hope, as well as with Fox biographers Leslie Scrivener and Douglas Coupland. Terry’s publicist Bill Vigars is also interviewed for the hour-long biopic. Nash, a Victoria native who plays point guard for the Phoenix Suns, was unavailable for comment on his filmmaking debut but in a press release said: “I remember being a six-year-old boy and waking up every morning and rushing to the TV to see where Terry was that day. To see his face hiding the pain and to hear his words disguising the sacrifice was as motivating and as educational an

experience as I’ve ever had.” Earlier this week, Alward told The TriCity News he recently saw a rough cut of the documentary and was impressed but he wondered why Nash didn’t make an appearance in the film even though he conducted all the interviews. “You never see his face. You never hear him asking the questions,” said Alward, who was filmed at the Terry Fox Foundation BC/ Yukon branch office on Shaughnessy Street in Port Coquitlam. “I was surprised considering all the people he interviewed like [Toronto Raptors coach] Jay Triano, [former Fox teacher] Bob McGill, Betty Fox... And I was surprised how much footage he gave me.” • To view the trailer for Into the Wind, d visit tiff.net/filmsandschedules/tiff/2010/ intothewind. Tickets for the Vancouver International Film Festival are available after Sept. 10 at viff.org. • The Tri-City News is running a series of articles in the lead-up to the 30th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run, which will be held on Sept. 19. The Tri-Cities has four runs this year: Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore and Port Coquitlam, Fox’s hometown. jwarren@tricitynews.com

Mohan ‘book’ a tragedy at Living Library By Sarah Payne THE TRI-CITY NEWS

It took only a moment for Eileen Mohan’s life to change forever. And she would give anything — anything at all — to change it back. She would go back and change the course of events on Oct. 19, 2007, the day her 22-year-old son, Chris, was killed in the Surrey Six slayings. He and another man, 55-year-old Ed Schellenberg, were innocent bystanders who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when the gangsters entered a Surrey apartment and started shooting. “I asked him to stay home that day,” Mohan recalled. “I had to be at work... so I asked him to be at home. I live with that decision every day. It could have been the other way around, it could have been me.” Mohan said before that moment, she and her family lived on schedules, attending to today’s needs but always living for the future, with plans for next month, next year, someday. “Ever since Chris, it’s one day at a time,” she said. “The most important moment is the present moment we’re in, because we don’t know what will happen to us in the

next moment. It’s unpredictable. It happened to us. “I spoke to my son one moment and a few hours later he was gone.” Mohan will be a special guest of the Coquitlam Public Library next week as part of its Living EILEEN MOHAN Library prog ram, in which living “books” are made available to patrons for one-on-one conversations. So far, there have been three Living Library programs, with “books” ranging from subject experts to those whose experiences can provide people with a greater understanding of the world we live in. Community services librarian Teresa Rehman said the two-hour program on Saturday, Sept. 11 is a chance for people to learn more about Mohan — how she’s coping with the tragic loss of a child and her efforts to see justice done for her son. In 2009, gangster Dennis Karbovanec pleaded guilty to three counts of firstdegree murder and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 15 years. Jamie Bacon, Matt Johnson, Cody Haevischer and Quang Vinh Thang

“Michael” Le have also been charged. “Her work has been quite recognized by all levels of government,” Rehman said of Mohan. “She’s been quite outspoken about there not being enough done to get these people behind bars.” In the past three years, Mohan has organized a number of rallies, lobbied politicians of all stripes from her Surrey hometown to Victoria and Ottawa, spoken before the federal justice committee and talked with the prime minister. She has been working to ensure that police and investigators have enough funding to combat crime and put an end to gang violence. “They’ve done a great job of doing that, highlighting the vicious nature of what gangs are all about and how very tragically they can take innocent lives and affect the lives of other people along the way,” she said. Mohan will be joined at the Living Library event by Sgt. David Teboul of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, who has worked on the Surrey Six case since day one. He’ll be available to talk about gangs and the drug problem among youth in Metro Vancouver. Three years after the loss of her son, Mohan’s voice over the telephone, while

OTHER ‘BOOKS’

quiet and determined, is tinged with the sound of a heartbreak far from healed. It’s painful, but Mohan speaks often about what she has been through in the hopes that it never happens to another innocent son or another innocent family. She hopes people attend the Living Library event to tell her how the Surrey Six event changed their own lives. “Looking at what happened to Chris and I, how did that change their lives and make them realize what life is all about?” • Living Library runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 11 at the Poirier library branch. spayne@tricitynews.com

PoCo signs more lucrative deal for advertising revenue Transit riders will soon be able to stay a little dryer when waiting for a bus in Port Coquitlam this winter. The city will have two new bus shelters as part of its agreement with the Pattison Group, which maintains the stops and uses them for advertising purposes. The city will also receive a larger cut of the proceeds from the ad-

vertising revenue in the new five-year agreement. Previously, the municipality collected 25% of the net share of Pattisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advertising revenue, which worked out to about $130 per shelter each month. Now, the city will receive a guaranteed monthly minimum of $160 per shelter. With 23 bus shelters in Por t

Coquitlam, the municipality stands to make $44,160 a year from advertising, up from an average of $32,760 per year under the old agreement. The city will also be allowed to use up to 10% of available advertising space within Port Coquitlam for municipal notices and events. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Hey, speeders Articles by Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

It may soon be harder for speeding motorists to claim they did not know how fast they were going when police pull them over in Port Coquitlam. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the city is considering installing in high-traffic areas three speed reader boards that are designed to flash a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s km/h when they pass by. The boards have already been seen in other parts of the Tri-Cities and now PoCo is launching a pilot project to see if they will help reduce speeding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are piloting this to see if in fact it does provide a benefit,â&#x20AC;? said Igor Zahynacz, Port Coquitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of engineering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could measure the average speed before and after [the boards are installed].â&#x20AC;? The speed reader boards will be installed in three fixed locations around the city: northbound on Shaughnessy Street south of Fraser Avenue; southbound on Coast Meridian Road south of Apel Drive; and eastbound on Pitt River Road west of the Coquitlam River Bridge. Each board costs $10,000, for a total cost of $30,000, but Zahynacz said he believes ICBC will help cover some of the expenses. The city is looking at allocating $15,000 of its own funds for the pilot project. While the boards are costly, Zahynacz said they could work to save the city money in long-term policing costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The alternative to the speed boards is also expensive,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Police enforcement is a cost, especially if it is applied to these areas on a regular basis. If the pilot project is successful, Zahynacz said it is possible the city could buy more speed reader boards and install them in various parts of the city. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Kids will want this ticket

Up to $253 speed fines

Kids may want to look out for Coquitlam RCMP officers, especially if they’re staying out of trouble. Police will be issuing “positive tickets” to young people to reinforce the idea that obeying the law and making smart decisions is a good thing, said Cpl. Bert Paquet. “We’re supporting good behaviour,” he said. “Essentially, our officers are encouraged to look for kids doing things right and acknowledge the behaviour by handing out positive tickets.” The coupons are provided by both Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam recreation facilities for free swims, skates and gym drop-ins. Paquet said the program is popular with young people and helps generate a positive image of police officers as well as healthy lifestyle habits. “As officers, we want the kids to know that we are approachable,” he added. “We want them to know that we are a resource in the community and that we are here to ensure their safety.” The positive ticket pro g ram was introduced in spring 2008 as part of the Coquitlam RCMP’s youth strategy, which aims to strengthen the relationship between police and youth through positive interactions. Officers use the positive tickets to break the ice with youth, issuing them to young people wearing helmets while cycling or those who don protective gear while skateboarding.

Both the PMPD and Coquitlam RCMP are stepping up enforcement around school zones to ensure drivers are slowing down to 30 km/h. School zones are in effect between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on school days, and playground zones from dawn until dusk every day. Exceeding the speed limit through these areas can result in a fine of up to $253. Officers will also be watching for people talking or texting while driving — which can net you a $167 ticket — and for new drivers to make sure they’re abiding by their restrictions. They’re also enforcing various parking bylaws pertaining to crosswalks and school zones to make sure people are not obstructing the views of vehicles around schools, van Winkel said. Parents who stop in no-stopping areas such as crosswalks and curves to drop off their children are actually exposing them to unnecessary risk from approaching traffic, he added. But not all the onus for students’ safety is on drivers. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said parents need to teach their children to be good pedestrians, passengers or drivers to stay safe. That means paying attention to their surroundings, following the rules of the road, not driving aggressively and respecting the road conditions, and always buckling up. “And truly, the best way to teach them is by setting a good example,” Paquet said. The BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation is warning parents that most child pedestrian-related injuries occur in September and October, with kids aged five to 14 years at greatest risk for fatalities. When young pedestrians are injured or killed, the group added, it’s most often while crossing at an intersection or running on to the road. Talking or texting on cell phones while crossing a street increases a child’s risk of being hit by a vehicle by up to a third, said Linda Lawlor, the foundation’s school safety co-ordinator. The biggest risk to kids, however, continues to be parents who make U-turns, stop in no-stopping zones, back up into crosswalks, roll through stop signs, ignore school safety patrollers and let their children out from the driver’s side into oncoming traffic. The foundation suggests kids should walk or cycle to and from school to be safer. spayne@tricitynews.com

Save up to $600 Yes, the cash stays in your pocket because until September 30th, 2010 we are offering to pay the HST on prepaid services. Yes, we have extended the HST-effective date for our families. We have heard from you and the phrase, ‘We Begin by Steve Hosking Listening’, is more than our motto. It is our commitment to you in all aspects of your service.

Police offered several school traffic safety tips for motorists and families:

FOR DRIVERS

• Slow down in or near school and residential areas, and be prepared to stop at marked crosswalks. • Scan between parked cars for signs that children could dart into the road. • Use extra caution in bad weather. • Always stop for school buses when their red lights are flashing for loading and unloading. • Expect the unexpected.

FOR FAMILIES

Also be watching here for dates of our season of free seminars. We have assembled the presenters and the subjects that you have asked for.

• Walking car pools and buddies are great ways to get to school. • Establish safe routes to and from school with sidewalks, light-controlled crosswalks and away from wooded areas with little activity. • Use helmets, bright clothing and reflective strips when bike riding. • Make kids wear light-coloured or reflective clothing so they’re visible to drivers, and ensure they make eye contact with drivers before stepping into an intersection. • Don’t use cell phones while crossing the street.

We begin by Listening.

The City of Port Coquitlam has received an application to amend its Ofﬁcial Community Plan in respect to 21 acres of land in the Dominion Triangle. The subject land assembly is on the south side of Dominion Avenue, between the proposed alignment of the Fremont Connector and the Natural Park and Wildlife Reserve along the Pitt River. The land is now designated “Light Industrial” permitting clean, business industrial uses. The Dominion Triangle Land Partnership has applied to change the designation of the 21 acres from “Light Industrial” to “Apartment Residential”. This would provide for the rezoning of the land to allow for approximately 650 townhouse, apartment and live/work residential units.

A BC Liberal MLA from the Tri-Cities could face voters sooner than the next scheduled provincial election if Fight HST campaigners get their way. The sales tax opponents are firming up their targets for recall and, according to lead org anizer and Por t Coquitlam resident Chris Delaney, Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Iain Black may be on the list. Fight HST is launching the recall campaign following a successful anti-tax petition, which under the Initiative Act, garnered enough signatures to force a vote in the legislature or put the issue to a provincial referendum. But the legislation does not specify a timeframe in which the province must act on the initiative, which means a recall campaign is necessary to force the government’s hand, Delaney said. “We had some good, strong ridings with the petition that we are looking at,” Delaney said. “Iain Black could be a target as well.” But if attempts were made to recall Black, who is also the minister of small business, technology and economic development, the campaign would not start for several months. Delaney said Fight HST organizers want to launch the campaign in three rural ridings, followed with the addition of one riding per month. The campaign will continue, he added, until the government either repeals the tax or loses power. Black won his riding with 9,979 votes, followed by NDP candidates Shannon Watkins, who took 7,614 and Green Party candidate Rebecca Helps, who garnered 1,261 votes.

Taking a toll

PICTURE THIS Adrian Raeside

Q WHAT WE THINK:

olls will be coming earlier than expected on the new Port Mann Bridge and some people are wondering whether drivers are getting gouged. The $3 tolls are expected to come into effect in 2012, when only eight of 10 lanes will be finished, and those without transponders who fail to pay the fee within 48 hours can add another $2.30 for the crossing privilege. These tolls seem steep but, in fact, they cover the costs of construction and operation of the expanded road system, including photographing licence plates and mailing out bills to people. There’s no such thing as cheap transportation and we’ve been spoiled until now. If traffic flows more smoothly and transit across the bridge, as promised, is improved so people don’t have to rely on their cars, then the expenditure will be worth it. But make no mistake, tolling the region’s most important bridge will be a hassle, especially at first, as people get used to the change.

Button up – please – for back to school AS I SEE IT Andrew Holota Revealing attire isn’t appropriate for girls who are heading back to school

llow me to clarify something right up front: In the bigger picture, I don’t have an issue with cleavage. In fact, I quite appreciate it. Except when it involves tweenie/teenie girls, and particularly in terms of school attire. Then I have major issues. Hence, the marching orders issued to my dear daughter prior to the back-to-school shopping mission last weekend: Yo, no cleavage! Not that she is a proponent of that. It’s just that, as she earnestly explained, it’s not easy

to find fashionable clothing for her age that doesn’t reveal more than what ought to be considered appropriate for the classroom. And she was quite correct in observing that her clothing is conservative in comparison to what some girls are wearing at the age of 13. Yikes, parents! Did you check out your daughter before she stalked out the door in her dark eye make-up, push-up bra, low-cut top and fourinch heels? And school principals and teachers, where are you? How do these mini-Britney Spears make it past the front door of the school, let alone through a full day of classes without being trotted down to the office and reunited with a parent who can take them home to change? I thought most public schools had clothing rules. You know, the three B’s: no boobs, bellies or butts. I question the wide latitude that seems to be given to this policy in some schools, by some administrators.

And again, I question the values of parents who seem to think it quite fine that their daughters look like little fleshpots. Is it just cute as all git-out that she looks like a music video pop tart? Except, there’s no pop ... just tart. Honestly, I find this quite dismaying. What are we doing as a society, allowing the sexed-up mass-marketing machines to slime their way down to our kids, younger and younger by the decade? What are we communicating to our tweens and teens by buying them clothing — for school no less — that professional adult women wouldn’t think of wearing to the office? (OK, maybe some might. But if so, what’s that saying to their children?) On the other side of the equation, what message is this provocative female fashion sending to boys? If it walks like a duck, and it looks like a duck... Mind you, with those bagged-out clown pants, it’s the guys walking like ducks.

(Hint to boys: Look in the mirror before leaving your room). But back to the topic at hand. Haven’t women fought long and hard to gain equality, particularly in terms of being regarded in the workplace as equals to their male counterparts? Shouldn’t that start in the school environment, where girls are socially, academically and athletically on even footing with boys, instead of being chicklet eye candy? Would you rather have the guys trying to sneak a peek at your daughter’s exam answers or her chest? (Either way, it’s classified material, lads.) And so, you may ask, how did the aforementioned school clothes shopping expedition fare? She’ll pass pre-house-departure inspection. As it should be, and I’m proud of it.

FACE TO FACE: Should action be taken to increase the number of female politicians?

Democracy would be hurt W

e have become so used to associating the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;proactiveâ&#x20AC;? with positive action that we often fail to realize that not everything that is proactive is good. On the one hand, it is certainly good to be proactive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is, acting in advance to deal with an expected difficulty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when it comes to detecting cancer. On the other hand, it is definitely not good to be proactive when pondering the logistical difficulties of expelling from their homeland an ethnic group one happens to hate. In other words, the nature of the object about which one is being proactive is the crucial thing, not the mere act of proactivity. And so we come to my colleagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;proactiveâ&#x20AC;? to ensure that equal numbers of women and men take their places in the governing bodies of our land. For some reason, which I am sure she will attempt to explain, the voice over there does not believe that free choice should be the overriding principle our country embraces when electing councillors, MLAs and MPs. More precisely, she does not believe that freely made individual decisions by women and men should be the prime factor when it

comes to choosing to run for office, nominating candidates or electing politicians. She would prefer some sort of â&#x20AC;&#x153;proactiveâ&#x20AC;? procedure, which, by its very definition, would subvert the democratic process. Apparently, she wants to ensure that, at the very least, equal numbers of male and female candidates are presented to the voters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even though interested members of one of the sexes may vastly outnumber those of the other sex. One has to wonder whether, if my colleague is successful in this little crusade of hers, she will then call for â&#x20AC;&#x153;proactiveâ&#x20AC;? measures to ensure that a certain percentage of candidates are heterosexual, homosexual, monotheistic, wiccan or whatever. After all, why stop at gender? If the nature of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genitalia is so important, then surely the character of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sexual preferences and the substance of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s religious beliefs are as well. But of course, throughout all of this, true democracy would be eroded, if not destroyed. The bottom line is that pursuit of the questionable goal of â&#x20AC;&#x153;gender equalityâ&#x20AC;? does not justify such destructive action.

Email your thoughts to newsroom@tricitynews.com.

s I write this column, almost three weeks after the Australian federal election, while it is certain that there will be a minority government it is uncertain who will lead that government. After the initial euphoria of Julia Gillard, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first female prime minister, taking office and talk about how far Australians have come in having their first female national leader, Australians have yet to elect their first female prime minister. For those who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been following Australian politics, Gillard took over as PM after ousting Kevin Rudd from office. That situation reminded me of Kim Campbell, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one and only female prime minister and of the difficulties women face when running for politics. Sure, both Gillard and Campbell took over leadership when their respective parties were down in the polls but I pondered with my colleague opposite why it is that in the west or developed nations we fail to elect women leaders while, in countries where the west maintains women are still struggling for basic human rights, women leaders are elected and re-elected. As of July 2010, of the 17 female world leaders, of those elected, de-

veloping nations match developed nations in electing female leaders. For example, India and Liberia have female presidents and Bangladesh and Trinidad and Tobago have female prime ministers. I acknowledge women politicians in developing and developed nations face different obstacles but even in countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States, where women enjoy fundamental freedoms and equal opportunity, women find it hard to be elected. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s record in this regard is sad even though there is constitutional entrenchment of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equality. Data available through the International Parliamentary Union, the international organization of parliaments, Rwanda ranks first among nations, with 56.3% of its parliament represented by women. Canada is 51st, with 22.1% female parliamentarians. I think it is time for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political parties and Canadians to move beyond rhetoric. Indonesia has recently passed legislation setting a quota for women to make up 30% of political candidates. Should Canada consider similar measures? I think so. Action is needed, not just rhetoric.

What’s your plan for your life? PASTOR’S PERSPECTIVE Barry Buzza Our missions are set for all of us

wise king wrote about how we, as parents, can influence our sons and daughters toward a purposeful adulthood. Direct your children onto the right path and, when they are older, they will not leave it. I’m a planner by nature. I’ve had a sevenyear plan for as long as I can remember, I also have a yearly plan, seasonal plan, monthly and weekly plan and a daily plan. But planning will not be the focus of these columns. Plans change and should be fluid throughout life. I learned to plan in college and remember one of my assignments before graduation was to formulate a

10-year plan. I was so proud of my plan that I posted it up on my bedroom wall as a decoration. Everything went along fine, according to the plan, for the first couple of months. After graduation, Susan and I both had jobs. We knew what our combined income and expenses would be for the next couple of years. We had a lovely suite that we were renting for a set price. As I said, it was all good and was running according to plan — until we found out that we were going to have our first baby. Talk about change. Susan quit her job when Kelly was born and we decided that she would be a stay-at-home mom for the next 16 years. That was a wonderful decision for our two children but it put a huge hole in my finely tuned 10-year plan. King Solomon wisely wrote as advice to his sons, “We can make our

plans, but the Lord deof the Lord’s favour has termines our steps.” come.” A good place to start You’ll notice that in His mission statement, helping your teenagers find their life purpose Jesus recognized He is to help them write a was anointed for the life mission.

God was here but didn’t say where, when, in what venue, to what audience or how. He was going to generally set people free from oppression, help them see life clearly and lift up those who had been stepped on by life. But He could have done that job while serving as a carpenter, policeman, politician, businessman or pastor. Our life mission can be fulfilled within the parameters of a wide variety of job descriptions. Next week I’ll write about values that set guard-rails for our life path.

Treefest a unique focus on Coquitlam’s Heritage YOUR HISTORY Jill Cook

he annual Treefest is just around the corner (Sunday, Sept. 12) on the grounds of Coquitlam’s Riverview Hospital and it is not to be missed. This year, the Treefest theme is heritage and you will find the hospital grounds offer much to discover about Coquitlam’s history. It is a location that provides a unique and significant window on the city. Our heritage is not just about museums, interiors and artifacts. Our heritage is also reflected in our outdoor spaces, both natural and developed. The Norwegians have recognized this fact very well and have developed marvellous open-air museums, such as those in Oslo and Lillehammer, featuring whole townsites that have been recreated to show the place, the time and the society that lived in those towns. While not nearly as old, we are fortunate to have our Riverview site — with no re-creation required. It is there for us to view as it was

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOT0

Trees are a big part of the annual Treefest on the Riverview Hospital grounds — and so is history. planned, a complete integration of buildings, function, trees and landscape. There are more than 1,900 trees on the Riverview site — western Canada’s first true botanical garden. In 1911, our first provincial botanist, John Davidson, was hired to oversee the development of this garden. It was to become the third such endeavour in Canada and served as a model for the design of other gardens in Canada and as well as the starting point for the botanical garden at the University of British Columbia. The Old Arboretum on the Riverview site (the present grouping of landscape resources) is the result of a planting design developed to include specimen trees

from temperate zones around the world. The landscape design is reminiscent of a country estate. The plantings have matured into what has become a magnificent park with outstanding educational value. The Sept. 12 Treefest provides the public with a special opportunity to take a tour of the grounds and trees to learn all about it. The development of the arboretum is an important element of Coquitlam’s heritage but the rich heritage value of the site does not stop at the trees. The five main buildings represent a noteworthy institutional complex of significant historical value. They are a unique and interesting grouping of structures that displays a remarkable consistency in

scale and materials. Donald Luxton, a local heritage consultant and recognized expert, will be conducting a tour around the buildings and offering his views on their special historical significance. Of course, the site was developed as a hospital that specialized in mental health. The landscaping and architecture were aimed at supporting this fundamental function. The intent was to create an harmonious, therapeutic environment to nourish the well-being and the recovery of its residents, to foster mental health. This is a setting with a purpose and history that extends beyond the simple aesthetic pleasures of the grounds. Interested? Want to learn more about your local history and the special place Riverview has in that history. Mark the date: Sunday, Sept. 12 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Here are some of the highlights: • Tree tours: The popular tree tours highlight some of the more than 1,900 trees on the site and run hourly from

11 a.m. to 3 p.m., leaving from near the HEY building. • Heritage building walk: 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. with Don Luxton, architect and member of the Vancouver Heritage Society, who knows the grounds well. It will include walking and commentary about the main heritage buildings,

although entry into the buildings will not be possible. • Children’s tree walk: 12:30 p.m., leaving from near the HEY building. • Heritage panel: 1 to 2 p.m. is the Living Heritage Panel, where local community members share their historical stories and reflections of Riverview.

Details can be found at www.rhcs.org/treefest.html or www.coquitlamheritage.ca. Your History is a column in which, once a month, representatives of the Tri-Cities’ three heritage groups writes about local history. Jill Cook is executive director of the Coquitlam Heritage Society.

BUNTZEN LAKE RECR RECREATION SITE: 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. They’re in place to ensure public safety and emergency access.

54,000 patients visit the Eagle Ridge Emergency Department every year.

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 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.

Make sure your community hospital is in good health when you need it.

Send your gift today.

Why can’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 ﬁrst-come basis only. No re-entry is permitted. Visitors are reminded that footpath access to South Beach is 2.3 kilometres.

TRI-CITY SPOTLIGHT: Awards for air cadets

Can the Province, City or School Board take some of my land for road or other public purposes without my consent ? Yes. How does the process work?

SFU PHOTO

CAPT. JEN TAYLOR

Six Tri-City air cadets flew home with awards and pilot licences last month after graduating from summer training camps. Rosie Suh, of 754 Phoenix Squadron in Port Moody, won the title of top cadet for having the best drill, dress, deportment and teamwork skills from among 28 of her peers on the general training course. She was also appointed commander of her flight, the top position a course cadet can hold on a graduation parade. Meanwhile, Felix Serban, 18, of 777 Neptune RCACS in Port Coquitlam, graduated with his wings at a parade at the Regional Gliding School in Comox. Port Moody’s Stephanie Wong earned the service band top cadet accolade as well as the ANAVETS medal for her service, leadership and musicianship while on course. Wong, of 754 Phoenix Squadron in PoMo, is one 79 cadets in Canada to receive the medal this year. And PoMo air cadets (left to right) Ron Gorodetsky, Albert Ho and Ryan Langrana captured their pilot licences in Comox. Please send Spotlight press releases and photos to newsroom@tricitynews.com.

Simon Fraser University’s new president started his first day on campus this week. Andrew Petter, a former B.C. attorney general, joined 1,600 new students on Wednesday to kick off the Burnaby Mountain campus’ orientation session. “It’s great to be here. I have such a positive feeling about Simon Fraser and its commitments to teaching, research and community engagement,” he said in an SFU press release. “I’m looking forward to getting on with the job. It’s an exciting time.” Petter’s appointment was announced in January. The past dean of the University of Victoria’s law faculty, Petter will be formally installed as SFU’s ninth president and vice-chancellor on Oct. 7 during the morning ceremony of fall convocation.

There are times when government bodies need land for public purposes. The government body proposing to take the land normally makes an offer to the landowner to buy all or part of the land. When the government and the landowner cannot agree upon a price, the government has the right, under the Expropriation Act, to serve an expropriation notice on the owner and take the land without the owner’s consent.

How is the land valued after it’s expropriated? The law says the landowner is entitled to “economic reinstatement” as compensation for the expropriated land. Most commonly, it is assessed as

604.853.0774 Abbotsford 1.888.853.0774 Toll-Free www.rdmlawyers.com

the market value, which is based on what a prudent and willing seller dealing with a similar buyer would agree on. In many cases, as well, owners are entitled to damages for the disturbance to the use of their land. This is based on the economic loss suffered by the owner by virtue of having to vacate the expropriated land. In addition, sometimes landowners are entitled to compensation for what is known as “injurious affection”. That is when only a portion of an owner’s land is taken but the remaining land is negatively affected by the expropriation.

Twelve hours plus 45 km and a total elevation gain of 2,500 m equalled more than $1,000 for TriCity resident Alexander Bell’s charity hike-athon. Bell achieved his goal of doing the Coquitlam Crunch 10 times, with the proceeds going to create an endowment fund for the Coquitlam Foundation. The money will be used to support community grants for planning diversity initiatives. The event was the first in what Bell hopes will become an annual happening — the Coquitlam Crunch Challenge: Embracing Diversity — and he has set a goal of raising $10,000 in the next four years. Bell started his run at 6:07 a.m. and by 3:30 p.m., he had made eight trips up the trail and was tired and sore. But he was able to push for two more laps up and completed his goal of 10 passes at 5:55 p.m. Bell said it was encouraging to see people join him in his effort, with many people following him for several of his trips up the hill. While donations are still trickling in from the 2010 event, he added that planning for the 2011 challenge is already underway. The Coquitlam Crunch is the Tri-Cities’ answer to the Grouse Grind. The trail roughly follows the route of the BC Hydro right of way from Scott Creek middle school up to Westwood Plateau. The idea for Bell’s challenge came from his wife, who works for the Coquitlam Foundation, the organization that stands to benefit from Bell’s efforts. He had heard of a person who climbed the Grouse Grind 14 times in a day for charity; Bell’s final idea on how to raise money for the foundation’s plan to start a diversity initiative fund came together while hiking the local trail. • For more information go to www.coquitlamcrunch.com. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

The great outdoors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a variety of venues and activities in the Tri-Cities

The great outdoors in the Tri-Cities are an attractive recreation destination at all times of year but especially in summer. Above: Boats sit unused on the docks at Rocky Point in Port Moody, waiting for wind and maybe a little sun. Far right, Kathleen Bramley leads a group through a Latin/ ballroom dance workshop at Coquitlam Spirit Squareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spirit Lunchâ&#x20AC;? last Tuesday.

Foxridge Homes offers new, single-family detached homes in a quiet Cloverdale neighbourhood ›› p.3

September 3, 2010

This year’s PNE Prize Home is designed with entertainment in mind, in a palette of cool blues, rich browns and accent whites. The Fair at the PNE runs till Sept. 6.

Vista’s West offers spacious detached homes.

Vista’s West: new homes in Cloverdale

ness designed to encourage free-flowing conversation.” The craftsman-style home, more than 3,000 square feet, was professionally designed and custom-built by Britco Structures. It will be relocated to the prestigious Kirschner Mountain development in Kelowna, overlooking stunning views of the Okanagan Valley and Okanagan Lake.

Foxridge Homes have a deserved reputation, built over 60 years of building homes with which buyers fall in love. They understand a home is not just bricks and mortar, but a special place that should enhance the homeowners’ lifestyle and realize their dreams. This great attention to detail is most evident in the Vista’s West project in Cloverdale. This collection of beautifully designed single-family homes has stunning valley and mountain views, plus 13 acres of dedicated parks and green space within the subdivision. All Vista’s West homes offer important benefits the homebuyer can’t necessarily see, but are very important for the comfort of each family: R-14 insulation in walls and R-40 in the attic, and a Travelers Guarantee Company of Canada 10-year warranty, which includes two-year builder and fiveyear water penetration coverage. There is also the knowledge a Vista’s West home has been built by a Registered Certified Residential Builder and a company that has been in business for more than 50 years. Every window is Low E, double-glazed vinyl warm-frame, with muntin bars on the front windows for the safety of each homeowner’s family.

PNE Prize Home: dream big It’s beautiful inside and out. And someone has to win... TRICIA LESLIE The Fair at the PNE celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. And the 2010 PNE Prize Home has been specially designed with celebration in mind, to honour the historical fair’s big birthday.

“This year, careful attention was paid to ensure the home exudes a luxuriously welcoming atmosphere perfect for celebrating any occasion,” says PNE Prize Home interior co-ordinator Barbara Aylesworth, who is also sponsorship co-ordinator and founder of A Stroke of Genius in North Vancouver. “The ease of entertainment is the overriding theme – from the handsome, wroughtiron gate that separates the wine cellar from the great room to the sense of open spacious-

Prize Home comes with a Kelowna view CONTINUED FROM P.1

Boasting three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home’s open-living layout also features the fundamentals of high-style, ecoluxe family living with an Old-world library, a media room with a 52-inch flatscreen TV and a gourmet kitchen with a freestanding island. High-quality finishings are standard throughout, and the home comes with a builtin sound system and home electronics feature a surveillance camera and 12-inch monitor. Inside, cool blues, rich browns and white accents create a colour palette that is welcoming and relaxing, in a style that is both modern and chic, yet also traditional and timeless. “My goal was to create a nice, calm, relaxing feeling,” Aylesworth says. The idea, she says, is for the home to be welcoming for living everyday life as well as entertaining. “I really like the open concept ... the main floor has 20-foot-high ceilings in the main room, but remains open to all the other areas of the home, aside from the library. I also love the colours, and how they flow through the entire home.” Ayelsworth also notes the covered outdoor patio – complete with an outdoor heater, hot tub, barbecue and patio furniture (all provided by sponsors) – is perfect for year-round entertaining. Downstairs, the great room is enhanced with an oversized fireplace surround and an incredible crystal chandelier hanging high

above it all. A charming staircase, reminiscent of those built 100 years ago in Vancouver’s Shaughnessy and Dunbar neighbourhoods, leads guests from the main floor to the Juliet balcony that overlooks the great room. Upstairs, the master bedroom features a sitting area and an ensuite bathroom with a carrera marble tub deck and matching floor tiles, a fireplace and a TV. There is also an espresso coffee-maker and a small bar fridge, making it easy to use the

master suite as a mini-getaway. “You never really have to leave the master suite,” Aylesworth says. “Everything you need is right there.” She also likes the fact the laundry room is on the upstairs level. There are also several eco-friendly, sustainable features that are not only better for the environment, but also mean better energy efficiency and savings for the homeowner. Terasen has provided an award-winning generator system for the house that is able to extract water from the air and transform it into fresh, healthy drinking water. There is also a high-efficiency, quickrecovery gas-fired water heater with unique geoexchange technology, a wide range of Energy Star appliances, siding made from B.C.

pine beetle wood, the lowest VOC Benjamin Moore paint, UV ray protection windows, and low-flow, energy-conserving plumbing fixtures. “Today’s homebuyers expect the best in eco-friendly technologies, so they can rest assured of their low environmental impact and keep energy bills low,” says Aylesworth. The Grand Prize package is worth more than $1.2 million and includes a one-year housecleaning service (MiniMaid), a $2,500 grocery package (Marketplace IGA),and a one-year subscription to a daily newspaper. The Fair at the PNE runs until Sept. 6 and Metro Vancouverites can view the PNE Prize Home on-site. Tickets to the PNE Prize Home lottery are five for $25 or 15 for $50.

‘A wonderfully personalized home’ CONTINUED FROM P.1

A 50-gallon hot water tank comfortably services the whole family’s needs and, for those chilly winter evenings, the efficient natural-gas fireplace in the great room or family room will be welcome. A combination heating system also contributes to home’s comfort and savings with a highly efficient natural gas furnace and zone-controlled baseboard heaters on the upper floor. The kitchen is a dream for the inner chef in the family. Maple cabinets with brushed chrome pulls are complemented by flat-edge laminate countertops with full-height ceramic tile backsplashes. The maple cabinets are repeated in the bathrooms. The master bathroom ensuite comes complete with a one-piece soaker tub and shower, and ceramic tile surrounds. All bathrooms have pressure-balanced valves in the shower heads for the homeowner’s comfort. Each home comes with an extensive options package that allows homebuyers to customize their home further. “We are unique at Foxridge, because we don’t just give our clients a choice of two or three exterior and interior finishes – we have a huge room filled with choices so each home is individual,” says Foxridge Homes sales and marketing manager Diane Zarola. “Clients pick out their exterior colours, interior paint colours and finishes and stain colours in the kitchen and bathrooms. There are experts to advise, but the end result is a wonderfully personalized home.” This subdivision is almost complete, so new buyers will be moving into a family oriented, established community to begin a new chapter in their lives. Homes are priced from $634,500. Visit www.foxridgeliving.ca for details.

Foxridge Homes offers attention to detail and an established reputation with its Cloverdale collection of detached, single-family homes at Vista’s West. Homes come in a variety of sizes and styles, with plenty of options so each homeowner can personalize his or her home to taste. Gourmet kitchens feature maple cabinetry and full-height ceramic tile backsplashes; the cabinetry is repeated in the bathrooms. Ensuites offer soaker tubs to relax, while natural-gas fireplaces are perfect for cool fall and winter evenings. Vista’s West is also close to several Metro Vancouver commuter and transit routes.

SIGN ME UP 2010! Back to school tips for better studying, literacy Some advice for parents of school-age kids from the provincial Ministry of Education: â&#x20AC;˘ Be interested in what your children are learning. Help relate what they are learning to the real world. â&#x20AC;˘ Stay involved. Be sure that your children are meeting their requirements. â&#x20AC;˘ Know your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school, the principal and especially your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachers. PRIMARY STUDENTS: â&#x20AC;˘ Let your children see you read, and set aside time each day for family reading. â&#x20AC;˘ Read street signs. â&#x20AC;˘ Ask your children to read to you while you prepare a meal. â&#x20AC;˘ Get your children excited about reading by taking turns reading pages or acting out characters. â&#x20AC;˘ Talk to your children about what they read. Ask them questions that require them to read between the lines and think about what they have just read. This will help improve their reading comprehension. â&#x20AC;˘ Introduce your children to a variety of literary styles and see which one they most enjoy. â&#x20AC;˘ Help your children get a library card and take weekly trips with them to the library. INTERMEDIATE/ MIDDLE STUDENTS: â&#x20AC;˘ Set up a daily homework routine. Designate a homework area away from distractions like the television and Internet, and with

adequate lighting and supplies. â&#x20AC;˘ When it is time for your children to do their homework, reinforce strong study habits by also doing yours: balance your chequebook, pay your bills or immerse yourself in a book. â&#x20AC;˘ Let your children read comic books in their spare time because comics can encourage positive reading habits and can play a role in improving literacy. â&#x20AC;˘ Help your children identify difficult and easy homework tasks and get them to tackle the most difficult subjects first. â&#x20AC;˘ Make yourself available to answer questions and offer help, but do not do your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homework for them. â&#x20AC;˘ Ask your children questions and have them explain what they have just read or studied. â&#x20AC;˘ Encourage your children to write stories and poetry.

SECONDARY STUDENTS: â&#x20AC;˘ Continue with an established homework routine. Make adjustments as needed, such as after-school or weekend time set aside for working on big projects. â&#x20AC;˘ Encourage your teenagers to take 20 minutes each night to read over their notes from that day, or rewrite them using colours to highlight important information so they retain it longer. â&#x20AC;˘ Have your children take regular breaks to help alleviate eye, neck and brain fatigue while

studying. This will help them be more productive and retain more of what they read and study. â&#x20AC;˘ Encourage your teenagers to explore magazines or appropriate websites on subjects that interest them to keep them reading. Most local libraries carry selections of magazines on a variety of topics, including sports, science, mechanics and politics. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep an assignment calendar on the fridge for quick reference of due dates, exams and how they fit with other activities.

Help your teen cope with that back-to-school stress GUEST COLUMN

ack to school is a time of household chaos, beginning with the challenge of getting your teen up in the morning after they have spent the summer going to bed late and sleeping in. Fighting with your teen is the last thing you need, especially as you are trying to get yourself to work on time. But wait is your teen dragging his feet because he hasn’t had enough sleep? Or is it a result of stress? Could teens actually be worried about going to school? The new school year can bring with it all sorts of concerns for your teenager. Who will be in my classes? Will I be the target of school bullies? Will I be able to handle the harder work? Will everyone think I’m dumb? Or if they are starting a new school, the looming worry is likely to be: Will people like me? Will I make friends? Stress is the body’s reaction to a change that requires a physical, mental or emotional adjustment or response. Without relief, worries in response to transitions cause a build-up of internal pressure. We feel tired and may know something is wrong but often don’t know what it is. So when you ask your teenager, “What’s the matter?” and they sulkily reply “Nothin’,” it may not be that they really don’t know. Chronic stress as a child or teenager can lead to health problems later. Recent research on the long-term effects of stress in children found that even moderate levels

• To learn more, check the full article online: tricitypsychology.com/html/ newsletter.html. of stress, if sustained over a long period, can increase our vulnerability to disease. In fact, the negative effects may not be immediately obvious but instead may only show up many years after a child has left the home. Preliminary studies suggest that an unremitting stressful family environment can impact on one’s susceptibility to chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and auto immune disorders. Here are some suggestions to help you manage the stress in your family. • Teach your teen stress-management skills: how to take better care of their body through proper diet and exercise; how to calm themselves and sleep better by using controlled breathing, guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation; how to solve problems and make decisions; how to be more assertive. • Set up routines: Structure can help reduce stress and provide a sense of predictability and control, especially for teenagers who often feel very out of control. Introduce family rituals — e.g., a weekly dinner together when you can all talk about the best and worst moments of your week. Plan more family activities — e.g. a day each week to do something together as a family, such as going for a hike or having a picnic on the beach. Have regular family

meetings. Create daily schedules and lists of chores. Include your teen when deciding on these things so they have a chance to express their feelings and point of view. Set boundaries; telling your teenager when they need to be home at night is a sign that you love them and care about their safety. • Practice emotionally attuned parenting: This involves taking a moment to think about what is going on inside your teenager’s emotional mind. Often, we inadvertently misinterpret our teen’s behaviours; for example, when they run crying to their rooms, we may think they are being childish or overly dramatic and ignore them. But when you consider what they may be feeling, you may act differently. Much depends on how parents conduct themselves in highly charged situations. Remember, our children are emotionally dependant on us — we are their emotional role model and coaches for their future. It takes patience and practice but it’s important to take the time to sit down and talk to your teenager, find out what they are feeling, then try to soothe and reassure them. Difficult moments can be upsetting for all the family so if you are struggling to cope as a family you may want to consider getting professional help. Your family doctor can recommend a psychologist in your area to help yourself as a parent, your teenager or your entire family to reduce stress.

care to get going and to perform their best. Hibiscus grow just fine in a wide variety of well drained soils, but they need plenty of organic matter to hold moisture. They wilt easily in hot weather and need a deep watering during periods of long drought. Don’t move them around the garden as they are not happy being transplanted. It’s also a good idea to mulch their roots over the first couple of winters to protect them from deep frost. Hibiscus are medium to large sized plants, usually sold in bush form, but they can also be purchased or trained into a handsome tree

form. Growing to about 3.5 meters (12 feet), they can easily be pruned in late winter to conform their size to your garden needs. There are three flower forms: large singles, semi-double and doubles. My favourite is ‘Red Heart’, a large white single with a red eye that really shows up in the garden. ‘Diana’ is a huge pure white triploid that remains open at night. ‘Minerva’ is a large lavender and almost everyone’s favourite. ‘Woodbridge’ is a single magenta rose with a red eye. ‘Bluebird’ and ‘Marina’ are single blues with a red eye. In the double forms, ‘Ardens’ is a purple and ‘Collie Mullens’

ove over Hawaii, we’ve got our own beautiful hibiscus to light up our summer gardens. Perhaps one of the most under-used summer flowering shrub is the hardy Hibiscus syriacus althaea or Rose of Sharon. It has been cultivated in England since the 16th century, but it is only over the past few years that, because of today’s many new varieties, it has become a more mainstream plant. Hardy to zone six, and possibly some high zone fives, it is one of the few flowering shrubs that opens in succession from July through to October. Once the hydrangeas finish, there is a distinct lack of garden colour from flowering shrubs, and that’s why these plants are so important. Hibiscus are generally the last flowering shrub to show leaves in spring, but they more than make up for it by being the last hurrah in the fall garden. Hibiscus can be somewhat difficult to get established. They need full sun or just a touch of shade and a little tender loving

is a magenta rose with a crimson eye. The newest series from Spring Meadows Nursery in Michigan is the Chiffon Series featuring beautiful large, full semi-doubles. The blue, lavender, white and pink ‘Chiffons’ are quite spectacular. Some very innovative growers are planting two colours together in one container, providing a beautiful two tone effect for a novel addition to any garden. They are just blooming now in most nurseries, and it’s a great time to see all the varieties to make a choice for your garden. Planted now, they will light up your summer garden for years.

Black Cats net goalie as pucks set to fly By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS

fter leaking buckets of goals last season, the Port Moody Black Panthers needed desperately to cement their netminding situation this campaign. Apparently they have. And they searched the country to do it. Black Panthers general manager Ron Luniw revealed Wednesday the team has inked Quebec import Pierre Voyer to guard the Cats’ cage for the upcoming Pacific International Jr. ‘B’ hockey league season. The six-foot-three Voyer, 18, had a stint last season with the Quebec Major Junior League’s Drummondville Voltigeurs and is a recent transfer from the B.C. Hockey League’s Jr. ‘A’ Nanaimo Clippers. He’s expected to be the No. 1 stopper on a Cats squad that coughed up an average of 4.80 goals per

game last season, second worst in the league. “He’s good positionally and he’s dedicated,” said Luniw, who had trouble finding a goalie owning both those attributes the past couple PIJHL seasons. “He can play. Now it’s about the team in front of him coming to play every night.” That, too, was a chore for the Cats last season, when they finished with a bleak 11-36-1 record and were last in the 10-team PIJHL, missing the playoffs for the first time since Luniw took over as owner and GM of the then-PoCo Buckeroos 10 years ago. The Cats’ woes last season also extended to their forward cast, as the team compiled a league-low 136 goals for in 48 regular-season games for a lowly 2.80 per game average. Veteran head coach Ron Johnson, who

Kevin Chin Field officially opens Monday at Mackin The Kevin Chin field dedication ceremony is set to take place Monday at Mackin Field South. Chin passed away suddenly on Sept. 2, 2007 due to complications from a staph infection that led to a series of cardiac arrests. He was 51. Chin had spent the previous 18 months as the defensive line coach of high school’s New Westminster Hyacks, part of a 28-year coaching career that was mostly spent in the

Coquitlam area. He was a graduate of UBC and played five seasons with the Thunderbirds and later served as president of the B.C. Secondary Schools Football Association. The 4:30 p.m. announcement and ensuing 5 p.m. ceremonial kickoff is designed to dedicate and name Mackin Field South in his honour and, at the same time, pay homage to his wife Sylvie and sons Casey and Jordan.

guided the Richmond Sockeyes to back-to-back Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial championships in 2003 and ‘04, was brought in to replace the dismissed Marko Segovic last April. Cats training camp attracted 42 players, including 12 incumbents, but that number was reduced to 26 after last week. Among the veterans expected to be in the Cats’ opening-day line-up are Justin Dorey (38 points in 46 games last season), Dean Brunato (26 in 37) and Chris Stew (26 in 42). Luniw said three more players will be released before the team’s next pre-season game Saturday when they Cats host the Grandview Steelers at PoMo Arena, 7 p.m. The Cats enter the contest with a 2-3 exhibition record, with both wins having been identical 3-2 decisions over the Ridge

Meadows Flames. Luniw believes the Cats have as good a shot as any PIJHL squad at glory this season. Case in point is the Squamish Wolfpack, the second-worst team in the loop last season which has now elected to shuttle in players by bus from the minor-hockey hotbed North Vancouver to and from practices and games in Squamish to garner a stronger roster base. “I don’t believe any team has an edge,” Luniw said. “I think all the teams are going to be better and the league is stronger as a whole. We’re going to have a ton of speed, we’re just working on [adding] some more grit right now. I know one thing –– we’ll be prepared.” ICING: The Cats visit Richmond in their regular-season opener next Thursday before hosting the Mission Icebreakers in their first home game Saturday, Sept. 11 at 7:45 p.m.

City of Coquitlam

Under captain Gudmund Lindbjerg of Port Moody, Team B.C. combined for a teamtotal 448 Wednesday in souther n Ontario to win the Phil Farley Memorial inter-provincial team title at the 49th playing of the Canadian men’s senior golf championship.

Play hole-by-hole, these guys know how to do it. We’re all good friends, so there’s a good team chemistry.” Team Alberta entered the second round sitting in fifth place but pulled into second with a strong finish, nine strokes behind B.C.

Conservation is key SFU ice for ex-Express boss to large sockeye crop

For everything there is a season, just as there’s a time for quiet and a time to speak. The last warm days of summer are heralded in farming communities as the time of the harvest. Here in B.C., the harvest many look forward to is not a crop. It’s a species of fish, the pacific salmon and the chief of these salmon –– sockeye. This year we have the largest return of these prized fish, since 1913 at least when railroads made the Fraser River’s Hell’s Gate impassable. The abundant return is a credit to the conservation efforts of all parties, both private and industrial based, working toward restoring these fish to historic levels. Will the abundance continue on in future years? It depends on themotivations of the user groups who share the waters and water sheds

Previously, McLellan spent 10 summers in Japan from 1999 through 2008 working in player development with the Nippon Paper Cranes, a professional team in the Asian league. He worked alongside former NHL coach Dave King during the decade he spent overseas. “It was a really neat opportunity,” said McLellan, who also spent time with the Japanese national team. “To meet a guy [like Dave King] with that much experience and take over a program that was already entrenched, I learned a lot. From a technical level, it was great to learn how to work with a pro and he certainly gave some good guidance.”

His experience with the Express included a Royal Bank Cup national championship as an assistant coach in 2006 when current NHLer Kyle Turris of the Phoenix Coyotes helped lead the club to victory.

OBITUARIES

FRIEDERICI, Kathy The world has lost a shining star. Kathleen Gail Friederici died August 20, 2010 after a very short illness. Kathy was predeceased by her father Percy Kirby, her mother Winifred MacDonald and her step-father Duncan (Mac) MacDonald. Kathy will be greatly missed by her son, Michael (Brenda) Friederici, her daughter Tanya (Berni) Schlueter and her four grandchildren who she adored: Michael and Kristina Friederici and Megan and Katie Dahlen. She is also survived and remembered by her brother David Kirby (Nanci) and her nephews Scott and Bryan. Kathy was a graduate of Chilliwack High School and U.B.C. She taught drama, Social Studies and was a School Counsellor for many years at Frank Ross Secondary School in Dawson Creek. She was also involved in Community Theatre in Dawson Creek, playing many diverse roles. She maintained many friendships from her school and teaching years because she was the kind of friend you never let go. Her former students kept in touch with “Mrs. Fred” remembering her humour, support and creative personality. Kathy was seconded by ICBC to work in the Traffic Safety Department in the ICBC Head Office, North Vancouver. She introduced “Captain Click”, the seatbelt mascot to legions of elementary students, and the “Counter Attack” drinking/driving program to secondary students in the Northern schools and Fraser Valley schools. Her innovation ideas, plays and programs made her stand out among her colleagues who tried but could never match her output. In retirement, Kathy continued her working relationships by volunteering (1000 hours) with the Coquitlam RCMP Victim Services. She also was on the Board of Evergreen Theatre and volunteered where her mother resided for 7 years at the Eagle Ridge Manor. She was a selfless, dedicated volunteer who shied away from recognition or attention. Kathy was all about family and friends. If you fell into either category you knew that you were “hers” forever. She nurtured you, cared for you and supported you through all difficult times – when you needed her she was your very good friend. Kathy had a wicked sense of humour and her sense of the bizarre made people howl with laughter. The best memories of Kathy are those involving laughter and we will hold those close to our hearts. There will be a Celebration of Kathy’s life on Saturday September 25th at The Hilton Metrotown, 6083 McKay Avenue, from 2-4pm. The family asks that if you wish, donations be made to the Atenas, Costa Rica Playground Project. This was one of Kathy’s “projects” dream to ensure that a playground was built for the Children at this school. Cheques can be made to RR Smith Memorial Fund Foundation, 100 – 550 West 6th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 4P2.
