Move RCH to R’view?
Paddle power Instructor Curtis Savot (right) demonstrates the finer techniques of paddle boarding in the waters off Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park last Sunday. Savot says the sport, which has roots dating back to the 1950s, is a great way to spend the day on the water. Below, Savot shows off for onlookers on the Rocky Point pier — and even earns a round of applause. JAMES MACLENNAN/THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam council wants the province to consider a move By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
All or part of the newly expanded Royal Columbian Hospital should be moved the Riverview Hospital grounds, Coquitlam city council said this week. The plea to the provincial government and Fraser Health Authority came as a surprise on Tuesday evening after council wrapped up its regular business, waived a request for the usual two-week notice of motion and unanimously supported a partial or full relocation of the regional trauma facility that has been located in New Westminster for 149 years. Coun. Mae Reid, who chairs the city’s land use and Riverview advisory committees, said the request for the government to use Riverview as a full medical institution “is not new” and, before the summer break, Mayor Richard Stewart spoke with the Tri-Cities’ two BC Liberal MLAs about having some or all of RCH built on the historic mental health lands. Council’s pitch for the relocation was also timed with the release of Coquitlam-Burke Mountain MLA Doug Horne’s constituency newsletter, in which he wrote about the future of health care in the Tri-Cities, saying: “One solution that I have been promoting and should be explored further is to build a new state-ofthe-art trauma hospital on Riverview lands.” see HOSPITAL OS MOVE, O , page g 19 9
Gloves off early in Coq. mayoral race Lynch to challenge Stewart for city’s top elected job this fall By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
It’s Crunch time in Coquitlam — for a cause: see page 17
Three-term Coquitlam Coun. Barrie Lynch has announced he will seek the mayor’s chair when voters go to the polls in November. And in announcing his candidacy this week,
Lynch wasted little time in outlining what he believes are the differences between himself and Mayor Richard LYNCH STEWART Stewart, who he said lacks leadership and has been unable to unite council. He said the mayor appears to
put more of a priority on making public appearances than doing city business. “I can only speak of the times we have had meetings that he hasn’t made because he has a public appearance,” he said. “There have also been many times that one of the councillors, usually the acting mayor, has been required to chair meetings because of his reluctance or perhaps inability to do so.” see ‘RIDICULOUS’, RIDICULOUS , page 4

Metro parks plan to welcome biz www.tricitynews.com
Tri-City News Friday, September 9, 2011, A3
For-profit services are modest so far but critic wonders what’s next By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS
An updated regional parks master plan would entrench Metro Vancouver’s new strategy of allowing more for-profit recreational activities and other money-making ventures in its parks to help defray costs. The draft Regional Parks and Greenways Plan adds a new goal to “promote philanthropy and economic opportunities” in Metro parks. It says Metro will pursue enhanced services and programs consistent with park settings to expand the range of outdoor recreation opportunities while generating non-tax revenue streams. A staff report says alternative revenue is of “great interest” to Metro due to the shortfall between the regional park system’s core funding from Metro property taxes and demand for more facilities and programs. “We’re seriously looking at enhanced services,” said Metro parks committee chair Gayle Martin, a Langley City councillor. So far, those have not been intensely controversial, although Metro previously rejected a golf academy at Tynehead Regional Park in Surrey and says pay-to-play activities such as zip lines aren’t being actively pursued. The latest new venture has been dog obedience classes, which were tested this summer at Pacific Spirit Regional Park. The classes are to be offered at six parks next year and are projected to turn an annual profit of $28,000 for Metro. Dog bath services are being eyed and Metro intends to take over the event tent rental business in its parks, a service previously handled by private operators.

Metro Vancouver parks, such as Colony Farm in Coquitlam, are increasingly home to business ventures and pay-to-play activities. A “grander proposal” for enhanced park services is being considered, but Martin would not say what it is, except it would likely be located in Campbell Valley Regional Park. As well, Metro this summer began selling an improved paid version of its iParks Navigator smart phone app for $2.99. Officials hoped to sell 30,000 copies in the first year but Martin said so far, there have been only a couple hundred paid downloads, compared to more than 1,500 for the free version. Beverage vending machines have also been added to some parks, despite another Metro policy that aims to reduce bottled water use in favour of tap water.
Martin defended the sale of bottled water through the newly installed machines, saying many Metro parks aren’t equipped with drinking fountains. She said Metro plans to screen the machines to hide commercial cola company logos. The region’s parks now generate enough revenue to offset 9% of operating costs and Metro aims to boost that to 15% over the next 10 years. Elaine Golds, spokesperson for the Burke Mountain Naturalists, is concerned the plan is vague and that expanded private sector initiatives could allow commercial farming of park land. “I’m really concerned we’ll see negative impact on wildlife,” she said.
“It has an economic strategy in it, an opportunity with the private sector, without spelling things out. That’s certainly a concern.” Golds is also worried the timeline for public input is too short. An open house on the plan at Metro Vancouver’s Burnaby headquarters is set for Sept. 14 from 6 to 8 p.m. and an online webinar is planned from 11:30 to 12:30 p.m. on Sept. 15. Golds noted a sustainability plan for Colony Farm, expected next week, will also be rushed and short shrift given to public input, adding, “Metro Vancouver has lost track of what public consultation really is.” jnagel@blackpress.ca – with files from Diane Strandberg
Green groups back ParkLane plan Promised park garners developer some support By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
The promise of a park and improved storm water management has local environmental groups supporting a 26-lot subdivision proposed by ParkLane that was roundly trashed in Port Moody earlier this year. At least three local environmental groups are now supporting a proposal by ParkLane Heritage Woods Development Ltd. to create a bareland strata project north of Hickory Drive, Fernway Drive and Cranberry Court. The clincher, says Elaine Golds, spokesperson for Burke Mountain Naturalists and the Port Moody Ecological Society, was the promise of
converting 35.5 acres of an upland reserve into a park and special measures to reduce the impact of development on Noons and West Noons creeks. “They’ve done a number of measures to ensure those water flows to the tributaries [of the creeks],” explained Golds, who said restoring water flows to the creeks is an important environmental concern. Golds expressed disappointment, however, that a public discussion of the project Tuesday had to be cancelled because two members of PoMo’s land use committee failed to show up, resulting in the lack of a quorum. The overflow crowd in the Brovold Room had to be turned away and city spokesman Leslyn Johnson said another meeting will be planned to gather public input. But she noted that the councillors who are on the
committee showed up, it was the two public members who did not. Council shot down ParkLane’s first proposal last winter after a public hearing but the new plan proposes to reduce the number of lots to 26 from 27, remove a cul de sac and make the lots smaller, reducing their footprint, Golds said. As well, each lot will be planted with native vegetation at the back where an infiltration trench will drain water flowing off the roof. Pavers instead of concrete will be used in patios and piping will be used to redirect storm water from the tributaries during heavy rains. Golds said the measures will mimic natural water flows as much as possible. According to the plan, the water management strategy will recharge 85% of water flows back into the creek. Golds said her groups were con-
sulted in the revamped plan, as was the Bur rard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society, which runs the Mossom Creek hatchery. BIMES spokesperson Ruth Foster said she also supports ParkLane’s new proposal. According to Golds (The Tri-City News’’ Green Scene columnist), the addition of a 35.5-acre park, where popular hiking and biking trails are now located, might go some way to alleviate concerns of Heritage Woods residents who criticized the plan when it was first introduced. “People right below might not be happy, because there will be development above them,” she said, “but it will be less intrusive and hopefully it will not be damaging to the tributaries, and I love having the rest of the area protected.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

‘Ridiculous,’ Election packages mayor states set for candidates continued from front page
Stewart, who told The Tri-City News that he will be seeking reelection, shot back at Lynch, saying he has only missed one meeting and it was to attend a charitable function about which he had informed council. He added that there have also been times when he has allowed the acting mayor to chair a meeting because he was NICHOLSON suffering severe back pain. “That is quite ridiculous,� he said of Lynch’s statement. “I have attended my council duties almost religiously. Council knows that. There is no question that I am out in the public and I do go to public events. I consider that to be part of the duties of the office.� While it is still early in the campaign, Lynch said he has already received considerable support for SEKORA his candidacy from members of the community and council. Both Coun. Neal Nicholson and Coun. Lou Sekora told The Tri-City News they would back Lynch. The rest of council said it was either too early to decide or that they would not be making public who they’re supporting for the city’s top elected job. Lynch, a longtime Coquitlam resident, said his platform will focus on tax rates, transportation improvements, business recruitment and retention, housing, recreation and environmental issues. In the last election, he garnered the most votes out of any of the councillors running. Other election news:
PORT MOODY Longtime Port Moody resident Robert Simons said he wants to replace Mayor Joe Trasolini and will run for his job in the upcoming civic election. Simons, who has lived in the city for 31 years and has an extensive business career, said he wants to make the mayor’s office more accessible to the public.

COUNCIL MEETINGS WHEN
Tuesday, September 13, 2011
WHERE Port Moody Council Chambers, 100 Newport Drive, Port Moody
TIMES
By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
It may still be summer but this fall’s civic elections are already starting to gear up. Nomination packages are available at city halls in Port Moody (100 Newport Dr.), Coquitlam (3000 Guildford Way) and Port Coquitlam (2580 Shaughnessy St.) ahead of the October filing period. A person who wishes to be nominated for the Nov. 19 elections must be a Canadian citizen, 18 years of age or older, and a resident of B.C. for at least six months immediately before the day papers must be filed. The nomination period takes place between Oct. 4 and 14 and papers must be filed during city hall hours. The nomination period is followed by a four-day challenge process, during which members of the public and the chief election officer can review candidates and ensure they meet the qualifications. In Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, one mayor, six councillors and two school trustees will be elected while in Coquitlam, one mayor, eight councillors and four trustees will be selected in the election. Residents wishing to vote in the upcoming election should also make sure they are on the voter’s list or they will have to register at the polls.
Advanced voter registrations will be accepted at a person’s city hall before Sept. 27. Someone who fails to register before then will have to bring two pieces of identification and proof of address in order to register at the polls on voting day. Other election news:
ONLINE UNLIKELY The city of Coquitlam is pushing for online voting in municipal elections but the province won’t be able to change the Local Government Act ahead of this fall’s civic vote. Lauren Hewson, Coquitlam’s chief election officer, said so far the provincial government has indicated that voters will not be able to cast ballots over the internet when they choose their school trustees, councillors and mayors on Nov. 19. “There are a number of things that would need to be looked at before it would go ahead,� Hewson said. “It is not likely to happen soon.� Last winter, the city passed a notice of motion calling on the province to make changes to voting rules in civic elections. Coquitlam is one of four municipalities — including Vancouver, Fort St. John and North Vancouver — that has called on the province to adopt online ballot casting in an effort to increase turnout. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

6th bear shot, more warnings By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam’s Bear Aware co-ordinator is continuing to target the Burke Mountain area to remind people to get rid of ripe fruit, garbage and anything else that might attract bears after the sixth bruin of the season was shot in the city recently. Drake Stephens has been making the rounds of construction sites to inform contractors of the importance of securing food waste after a bear was shot two weeks ago for scrounging for food in broad daylight close to workers. Re s i d e n t s i n t h e area are also being approached by Stephens and other city staff to make sure they are aware of bylaws requiring people to lock up their garbage and remove other attractants during bear season. Stephens said the young female bear was killed by conservation officers on Aug. 25 off Coast Meridian Avenue near Scotch Pine Avenue because it wasn’t afraid of people as it walked by in search of human food. “It was fearless,” he said. Conservation officer James Kelly confirmed the bear had been making repeated visits to the area and was breaking into garages. “It was definitely habituated, it was returning daily to the site, and even while I was there, it showed up looking for food,” Kelly said. The bear was the third destroyed in recent weeks, Last Thursday, a black bear that had been previously relocated was destroyed in the Gately Avenue area of Port Coquitlam, according to conservation officers, and another bear was destroyed in the Anmore area a few days earlier, bringing to 10 the number of bears shot in and around the Tri-Cities this season. The destruction of the sixth bear in Coquitlam prompted Coquitlam councillors Tuesday to call for a report on the
Setting it straight An article in The Tri-City News Friday, Sept. 2 edition, “Moves in schools’ offices” had incorrect information. Heather Murphy remains the principal at Terry Fox secondary while Lisa Dube has been appointed as one of the vice-
current bear season and recent enforcement actions and what other opportunities may be required. “It may be that we need to start using the [$500] fines [more], if people don’t give a hoot,” said Coun. Mae Reid, who told The Tri-City News her email was stuffed with people complaining about bears and lack of garbage control on residential properties and construction sites. According to Stephens, contractors are doing a better job taking care of food waste at building sites but it’s a constant battle to make sure everyone knows about the
issue because new workers are always coming and going. He has posted signs and attended meetings to remind workers not to be careless with their food waste. Even a paper coffee cup with the residue of milk and sugar is food to bears, which are feeding machines now that they’re fattening up for hibernation. New building sites aren’t part of regular garbage pickup so workers have to be responsible for their own waste, Stephens said. Ro n T h o m s o n , a safety of ficer with Mor ningstar Homes, said he has seen the oc-
casional bear around construction sites, such as Avondale at the top of Coast Meridian Road and has been impressing on workers and site managers the importance of securing garbage and removing food attractant. He said garbage is locked indoors and picked up regularly, and workers are told not to leave their lunches in their cars; there are also policies for dealing with wildlife safety concerns. “We tend to take a proactive approach to dealing with wildlife issues,” Thomson said, adding, “Nobody wants to see an animal put down.” dstrandberg@tricitynews.com

olunteering for schools and other organizations that serve children just got easier with the introduction of LiveScan, a new technology that processes fingerprints more quickly. The RCMP detachment in Coquitlam can now process Vulnerable Sector (VS) checks in eight to 10 days rather than several weeks or even months. That’s a good thing. People wishing to help out with sports teams, youth organizations, schools and clubs shouldn’t have to wait too long to get their names cleared. It’s bad enough they have to go through these motions but thanks to a few rogue adults who misused their trust and positions, VS checks are a safety precaution. LiveScan makes it easier and less time-consuming but parents thinking about volunteering at their child’s school or another organization should get their checks now to avoid a backlog. It’s a hassle, maybe even overkill, but if they prevent even a single episode of child abuse, these checks are a sensible thing to do.

The tribulations of telecommunications AS I SEE IT Andrew Holota
M
y teen daughter has marked a key milestone in her young life. Among coming-of-age moments, it’s right up there with Sweet 16, learning to drive and being able to vote. She got a cellphone. Big whup, you say? Hey, when you’re almost 14 and going into high school, having a phone is huge. Major. Momentous. That’s not why I agreed to it, though. There had to be more justification for a personal phone than just the Grade 9 coolness factor. I agonized over it. The advantages were clear. We could get hold of our daughter whenever necessary without having to chase around for friends’ numbers. If she needed a ride or a pick-up time had changed, she could let us know. And if she was in a situ-
ation in which parental aid and extraction were required, she could call without having to ask someone for a phone. And then there were the downsides… Cost, of course, but that’s pretty minimal if the plan is limited. The bigger objection was the danger of turning my kid into a version of the teen texting zombies — the kids who hang around, constantly looking at their phones, thumbing away obsessively. They can’t even put the devices in a pocket or purse for a moment. They have to hold them. I think if they were forcibly separated from their phones, they might go into spasms, or enter a catatonic state. It’s frightening. And then there’s the extension of the whole social networking thing. We struggled mightily against Facebook. At one point, I would rather have had a nuclear radiation leak in my house than Facebook. But the concept eventually became part of my work life and I succumbed to the great brain drain.

So, anyway, I initially thought a standard phone would suffice. After all, I just wanted to be able to call her, and vice versa. Just a simple flip-phone would be fine. Teen response: Blank look through halflowered eyelids. She was envisioning a BlastedBerry. OK, maybe I would consider that. But no data plan. Frantic wail: “But what’s the point of having a BlightBerry if you don’t have internet?” Precisely. The phone salesman was helpful. He could supply a free BonkBerry and an inexpensive plan that just provided talking... and texting. How about a plan with no texting? “Daaaad!” Limited texting then. The salesman pointed out that kids will text her, regardless of the limit, and then we’d have to re-mortgage the house. Who knew? OK. This would have to be solved via my
finely honed parenting skills and carefully chosen diplomatic language that has brought us this far through early teenhood with great success. “Abuse this phone, and it is so gone! Exceed your phone minutes, or start incessant texting, and you will get a little plastic walkie-talkie!” She understands that sometimes, victories are measured in degrees. So, after some further subtle negotiation, we exited with a DingleBerry, a limited phone plan and an appreciative, pleased teen who, I noticed the other day as we were walking together through the mall, was holding her precious phone in her hand. I broke into a cold sweat. Mind you, yesterday at the office, I got a text. “Hey dad, when r u gonna B home?” It had a nice ring to it, so to speak.

FACE TO FACE: What, 10 years later, is the legacy of Sept. 11, 2001?
Thanks to Yanks, world is safer O
n Sunday, the world will mark the 10th anniversary of the worst terror attacks on U.S. soil. Shortly after the 9/11 assaults that killed almost 3,000 Americans, U.S. president George Bush told the international community it was time for other countries to get involved in the war on terror. “That means different things for different nations,” Bush said. “Some nations don’t want to contribute troops and we understand that. Other nations can contribute intelligence-sharing... But all nations, if they want to fight terror, must do something. Over time it’s going to be important for nations to know they will be held accountable for inactivity. You’re either with us or against us in the fight against terror.” In other words, countries that harboured terrorists and assets of terrorists were no longer allies of the United States. My colleague opposite suggests Bush’s remarks, along with his reaction to 9/11, isolated the United States from the rest of the world. I, on the other hand, call it prudent governance. The events of 9/11 changed Bush’s presidency and his country’s foreign policy mandate. Securing the homeland from terrorist groups such as
ANDY RADIA
al-Qaida became our neighbour’s top priority, and if the us-versus-themmentality fostered international resentment, then so be it. Bush followed up his tough talk with real action. The U.S., along with Canada and other allies, engaged in a war in Afghanistan, which by most accounts has led to the degradation of al-Qaida. America has also spent billions of dollars on improved intelligence systems, interrogated and detained terror suspects at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay, and beefed up border security, all with the goal of safeguarding Americans against any future attacks. While my colleague wishes to jump on the Bush-bashing bandwagon, I maintain George W.’s measures have paid off in spades. Surely, president Bush made some mistakes in the post 9/11 era. Launching a war in Iraq that did little to weaken al-Qaida, certainly, for some, leaves a black mark on his legacy. But, the bottom line is that the United States is unequivocally a safer place today than it was 10 years ago. Moreover, by making America a safer place, Bush made the world a safer place.

rather than reach out to it; to look inward and worship American exceptionalism rather than outward to embrace the world community. Post 9/11 jingoism allowed Americans to accept a “war on terror” and its centrepiece, the Iraq war, sold to them on sketchy excuse by an administration willing to exploit 9/11 patriotism. The invasion of Iraq was an unnecessary, unmitigated, disaster. The U.S. invaded a country that clearly had nothing to do with 9/11. The world watched as rationalizations for invading Iraq crumbled: the collapse of the WMD. house of cards, the faux “coalition of the willing,” the rooting out of alleged alQaida training camps and the shift to the final excuse, ousting a bad guy. Ten years after 9/11, the U.S. is reviled by Middle East Muslims, whose sympathy is increasingly moving to Islamic jihadists. The Iraq war is a tragic U.S. foreign policy nightmare, which may take them another decade to overcome. It epitomizes a post 9/11 nationalism marked by a you’re-either-with-us-or-against-us, swashbuckling foreign policy that increasingly worries the world. Even more worrying is watching Americans vilify a president who they find too international in view and too respectful in demeanour.

T
he horror that befell our southern friends on Sept. 11, 2001 profoundly damaged our
world. The outrage and fear felt by Americans after 9/11 united them, and the world wept with them. Al-Qaida was reviled by the world. Jihadist stock was at its lowest level — the terrorists didn’t stand a chance. The world empathized with Americans. Since 9/11, however, the U.S. has squandered the goodwill of the world and, in doing so, strengthened jihadist sentiment and recruitment all over the Middle East. What happened? Iraq. After 9/11, united in anger and fear, Americans turned inward to commiserate and re-commit to their way of life. Many Americans clung to the symbols and icons of their country for comfort, almost to the exclusion of reason. Preoccupation with love for the flag, the troops, “fallen warriors,” guns, the constitution and traditional marriage salved fear and eased suffering. This feverish love for country was strengthened by a distaste for others: gays, immigrants, the French, Muslims and non-confrontational presidents. Nationalism fuelled by the events of 9/11 blinded Americans, made them look away from the world

The Editor, My wife and I are gardeners at a local community garden. Recently, someone asked me if they could visit the community garden to freely pick vegetables. The short answer is “No.” Gardeners at community gardens put a lot of effort and expense into cultivating their allotments. They enrich the soil, cultivate, nurture seedlings; struggle against weeds, pests and weather; and labour on communal maintenance tasks. They look forward to enjoying the fruits of their efforts. They are deeply hurt when someone steals vegetables and fruits. If you visit a community garden and want some vegetables, offer to do some weeding or other work in exchange. If you are poor and want to eat fresh vegetables and fruits, then visit the food bank in your community. Many community garden groups donate large quantities of produce to the local food banks. If you aren’t poor, then buy the fresh organic produce at your community’s f ar mers’ market. You’ll eat healthier while suppor ting local businesses. Visitors to community gardens should respect the effort of the gardeners by looking but not touching. D.B. Wilson, Port Moody

Following Terry’s footsteps By Janis Warren THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Jim Terrion Jr. always felt a close connection to Terry Fox. The Prince Rupert native was only three years younger than the Port Coquitlam athlete when he saw Fox on TV during his 1980 Marathon of Hope to raise money for cancer research. Terrion marvelled at Fox’s achievement of running a marathon a day for 143 consecutive days with a prosthetic leg. He could also relate to Fox’s battle as he, too, had a disability: He has been deaf since birth. “Jim was so impressed with Terry,� Terrion’s mother, Faye, recalled. “He was just amazed that Terry could do this on one leg.� Fox’s crusade inspired Terrion to walk. And walk. Sometimes, he trekked from Jericho Hill School for the Deaf in Vancouver, where he had been a student since the age of 12, to Seattle and back on foot. In 1990, at the age of 29, Terrion set off on his own cross-country adventure to collect cash and build awareness for the deaf and hearing impaired; in one day, he walked 100 km — until his driver said “enough,� Faye
GOVERNMENT OF BC
Five years ago, Jim Terrion’s fundraising efforts were recognized by the provincial government, which bestowed Terrion with a BC Community Achievement Award. Terrion said. Her son also hiked from Edmonton to Rupert during a snowstorm in November. Walking “is nothing for him,� she said from her Prince George home, adding Jim can hear sounds but not speech. For the past 21 years, Jim Terrion, now a P.G. resident, has stayed true to Fox’s vision, not missing out on a single annual Fox Run. And this year, he and Faye will be in his hero’s hometown to pay tribute. He’ll probably bring a chunk of change with him as well. Donna White, the BC/Yukon director for the Terry Fox Foundation in PoCo, said last year, Terrion turned in 71 fully signed pledge sheets, taking his total to $504,000. And he won’t stop until he reaches his target of $1 million
“and he’ll do it, I’m sure,� Faye Terrion said confidently. His donations are largely due to the generosity of Prince Rupert residents and business people. During his summer holidays, Jim Terrion returns to the northern B.C. community to knock on every door in the day and solicit pub patrons at night. Five years ago, his fundraising efforts were recognized by thenpremier Gordon Campbell, who bestowed Terrion with a BC Community Achievement Award. This year’s campaign is different, though. In a recent letter to The Northern View, a Black Press sister newspaper of The Tri-City News, Terrion, 50, told Rupert readers he’ll be honouring the late Betty Fox as he collects their coins. Faye Terrion believes her son will probably exceed his average of $20,000 for this year’s drive (one year, he brought in a record $47,000 from Rupert). “The people know him because he was born there and he grew up there,� she said. “They don’t have trouble communicating with him because they all know him. They wait for him to come.� His accommodations during his three-week run are free at the Crest Hotel.

In the third installment of The Tri-City News’ five-part series leading up to the Terry Fox Run on Sept. 18, Jim Terrion’s mother Faye talks about her son and his connection to Terry Fox... “Jim is an incredible individual who has devoted numerous hours of his time in support of his goal,� the hotel’s general manager, Scott Farwell, said. “We recognize his commitment and are pleased to help support him. Prince Rupert, British Columbia and the world are a better place because of individuals like Terry Fox and Jim Terrion.� As for his future, Jim Terrion told The View w he wants to travel to help spread Fox’s dream to ending cancer. “I might be planning to go to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for the Terry Fox Run,� he wrote. “I’m not sure, but it would probably be in November 2013 or 2014.� jwarren@tricitynews.com

Crunch time for local hiker means money for diversity Tri-City resident hopes to do the hike 10 times in 12 hours By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS
You can cap off the summer with a vigourous hike — or two, or 10 — up the Coquitlam Crunch this weekend and help raise money to promote diversity activities in the Tri-Cities. Alexander Bell is teaming up with the Coquitlam Foundation to raise money for a Coquitlam Foundation Diversity Fund, which would support activities that embrace diversity and promote inclusiveness in the community. Bell is the Safe Harbour co-ordinator for the Tri-Cities, a diversity awareness program for businesses and community organizations. He says the fundraising event, called Embracing Diversity, will raise funds to enable organizations and schools to host community activities. His goal is to raise $2,000 this weekend toward the $10,000 goal necessary to generate grants for diversity initiatives. “I’m hoping it will tur n into an annual thing that builds and contributes to a grant with the Coquitlam Foundation,” said Bell, who has been in training to do the crunch several times on his own this weekend. This the second year for the fundraising event and Bell hopes a few dozen people will join him in the endeavour. There are two categories this year: the Make it or Break it category, which entails walking the entire trail 10 or more times in a 12-hour period, or the Family/Recreational category, which involves walking the entire trail at least once. Suggested donations are $20 for adults and $10 for youths, with registration at 6:30 a.m. for the Make or Break it participants (finishing at 6:30 p.m.) and and registration at 10 a.m. for the recreational competitors (finishing at noon). The first 50 registrations will get a free pedometer, courtesy of the Province of B.C., as well as diversity DVDs and diversity music CDs. Bell thinks the C o q u i t l a m C r u n ch , a 2 km trail under the BC Hydro right-of-way rising up from the Eagle Ridge area of Coquitlam, is an ideal setting for a fundraising
SUBMITTED PIC
Alexander Bell and his daughter, Sierra, are getting ready for the second annual Coquitlam Crunch Challenge this weekend. hike and he hopes many will be inspired to give the trek a try. “We have this wonderful free asset, why not promote it?” Bell said. There will also be refreshments provided by community businesses, such as Thrifty Foods, Envision Financial and Safeway. Bell is pleased to see businesses involved in
the endeavour and he hopes to encourage new businesses and agencies to take the free, two-hour Respect for All training offered by Safe Harbour so they can better assist individuals, customers and employees with differing backgrounds. There are now 900 Safe Harbour certified locations in B.C., in-
cluding several in the Tri-Cities. • For more information or to register for the Embracing Diversity fundraising hike, visit www.coquitlamcrunch. com or email coquitlamcrunch@gmail.com. For more information about Safe Harbour, visit www.safeharbour.ca. dstrandberg@ tricitynews.com

Hyde Creek rec centre has announced a new interim pool schedule following the annual maintenance shut-down. While the lap pool and water slide will re-open tomorrow (Saturday), the hot tub, steam room, sauna and leisure pool will be delayed by an additional three weeks to repair numerous columns that are susceptible to corrosion. Several aquatic programs, such as some of the pre-school lessons and aquatic fitness classes, will be delayed and drop-in programs scheduled to start Sept. 10 in the lap and leisure pool will have adjusted schedules. Evening length swimming, the master’s swim program and public swimming will be relocated to Centennial Pool, near Shaughnessy Street and Lougheed Highway.

Hospital move news to local MLAs Divorce e continued from front page
Neither Hor ne or Iain Black, MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam, was available for comment on Wednesday but Coquitlam-Maillardville NDP MLA Diane Thor ne, whose cons t i t u e n cy i n c l u d e s Riverview and who has campaigned to keep the grounds in public hands, said she had no idea Coquitlam city council wanted RCH. “I’m totally out of the loop on this,” Thorne said, adding, “If it’s another full medical trauma institution, there’s no way that I’m going to go out on a limb to say that I would support that.” “I have not heard of any plans to relocate Royal Columbian,” Port Coquitlam NDP MLA Mike Farnworth said, “and I don’t think New Westminster would even remotely entertain the idea. The focus at Riverview should be on mental health. And what about our existing hospital in the Tri-Cities, Eagle Ridge? What we
THE TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
A Coquitlam councillor is calling on the province to relocate Royal Columbian Hospital to the Riverview grounds. need to do is improve the service levels at Eagle Ridge.” Earlier this year, Coquitlam council urged Fraser Health to make the community hospital, which is based in Port Moody, fully operational according to its mandate. Coun. Brent Asmundson told The TriCity Newss on Wednesday he brought forward the motion to relocate RCH “because it’s an idea that I had rolling in my head for a little while. We are the fastest growing area in the region... and Royal Columbian is difficult to get to. It would be a benefit to our region to move it to Riverview.” Mayor Stewart agreed the current New West site is constrained and the transportation im-
provements happening around Coquitlam make the 240 acres of provincially owned property at Riverview “a perfect location” for a medical facility. “We are the largest community in the province without a hospital inside its boundaries,” he said at Tuesday’s council meeting. Coun. Barrie Lynch, who this week announced his intention to challenge Stewart for the mayor’s chair in this fall’s election, also said a relocation would be “an interesting concept” but he cautioned that New West had already lost one hospital — St. Mary’s — “and there would be resistance to losing a second,” he said, adding, “The last thing we want to do is to
be seen as a community that’s trying to take resources away [from another].” As well, Lynch, a paramedic, said response times are key factors when health regions decide where to place medical centres. In March, New West city council urged the provincial government to move to its next phase of planning for the RCH expansion. Hospital officials have sent expansion and renovation proposals to Victoria but, to date, no decisions have been finalized to increase capacity. Health ministry spokesperson Stephen May told The Tri-City News the province has made capital upgrades at RCH since 2006, including a new regional renal centre to house all dialysis programs, a second CT scanner, a new 16-bed ICU, a new 10-bed cardiac surgery ICU and a second MRI. “There would be a significant number of costs and risks associated with establishing a new level 1 trauma centre in any
location,” May wrote in an email. “Fraser Health has submitted a concept plan for the redevelopment of the Royal Columbian Hospital to the Ministry of Health. This is a significant undertaking, one that deserves our time and attention to thoroughly review. We look forward to continuing to work with our partners at Fraser Health on this important project.” jwarren@tricitynews.com

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.

At library, more than just food for thought Coquitlam Public Library patrons brought something other than books and reading lists to the library’s two branches this summer. They brought food, and lots of it — nine boxes to be exact — and all of it will be donated to the food banks run by Share Family and Community Services. CPL’s community services librarian, Teresa Rehman, who organized the food drive, was overwhelmed by the generosity of library patrons. “It’s amazing,” she said. “People actually go home [from the library] and come back with food. It’s not like going to the Superstore, where you can just buy it and leave it.” Collection baskets were placed in both the Poirier and City Centre branches, prompting people to drop off pasta, beans, rice and even baby formula and toothpaste, those important every-day items that are expensive to purchase. “The library is the hub of the community, this is just great,” said Rehman, who was inspired to hold the food drive after joining the Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group last year. “Any occasion to have a food bank and I hold one,” she added, noting the library has collected more than 500 pounds of food for Share in various drives this year, not including the food collected over the summer. As summer wanes and thoughts turn to fall, Rehman said she hopes people will continue to support the food drive, which this

Sports Day in Canada is a national event By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Port Coquitlam residents are invited to grab their hockey sticks and strap on their skates as the city celebrates Sports Day in Canada. Several events have been set up in the city in an effort to encourage an active, healthy lifestyle while reinforcing the city’s small-town charm, said PoCo Mayor Greg Moore. “We’re highlighting the importance of sport and physical activity with people across the country,” Moore said in a press release. “Sport and physical activity are important for a variety of reasons.” E ve n t s b e g i n o n Friday, Sept. 16 as the city hosts Jersey Day, and encourages participants to wear their favourite jerseys to work, school or wherever they go.

Many people are unaware of the best way to recycle milk, cream and milk substitute containers. Bringing them to the Return-It Depot guarantees they’ll be turned into something useful like cardboard boxes and tissue paper. So why not change your good habits. Return your milk containers with your refundable beverage containers. It’s easy. Quickly rinse them out and crush them. Remove any caps and bring them too, because they get recycled separately. There’s no refund on milk empties because there’s no deposit when you buy, but you’ll be doing the right thing. So on your next trip to Return-It, bring the udder ones too.
NOW YOU KNOW WHERE THEY SHOULD GO.

Celebrate trees and the wonders of R’view GREEN SCENE Elaine Golds
Annual Treefest is set for Sept. 17
I
f it is fall, then it must be time for Treefest on the Riverview Hospital grounds in Coquitlam. Although it will be the 18th annual Treefest on Saturday, Sept. 17 from 1 to 4 p.m., the event this year will be somewhat poignant because it will be the last Treefest to be held while Riverview is still a functioning provincial hospital. With the remaining Riverview patients expected to be transferred to other facilities by June 2012, Treefest next year will be held, for the most part, on a vacant site graced by heritage buildings and a world-class collection of trees. Hopefully, past will be prologue and ways will be found for the site to continue to play a significant role in keeping with its past contributions. Riverview has a proud history of serving mental health care needs in this province ever since the government acquired land for the facility in 1904. Opened in 1913
KIYOSHI TAKAHASHI PHOTO
Riverview Hospital has grand landscapes, heritage buildings (Centre Lawn and East Lawn shown here) and a world class collection of trees. and originally named Essondale, the hospital grounds supported not only mental health care but also B.C.’s first botanical garden. It was the site for a provincial architectural competition that was intended to produce monumental buildings reflecting the most recent trends in mental health care, complemented by graciously designed grounds to support the site’s therapeutic purposes. West Lawn, with its open airy wings and abundance of natural light, was considered to be the most modern institution of its kind when it opened in 1913.
Although the First World War altered some of the original grand plans for the site, the buildings that followed — Centre Lawn in 1924, East Lawn in 1930, Crease Clinic in 1934 — continued the tradition of splendid architecture complemented by superb landscaping reminiscent of an English country estate. John Davidson, recruited from Scotland as the province’s first botanist, arrived on site in 1911 and quickly set about developing gardens for the new hospital, undertook extensive surveys of the province’s flora, established a bo-
tanical garden that soon held 600 native species and solicited specimen trees for landscaping at Essondale from his contacts in Great Britain. The Essondale nursery he established went on to supply trees and shrubs for parks, highways, courthouses and other public places in B.C. for
the next half century. When the University of British Columbia was established, Davidson moved there and took the botanical garden with him. The landscaping and nurseries at Essondale continued under the guidance of head gardener Jack Renton, who had trained at the world famous Royal Botanic Gardens established in 1759 in Kew, England. The fabulous landscaping on Essondale’s grounds and fruit production from its orchards (as well as food production at Colony Farm, which was originally part of the hospital) could not have been accomplished without the help of Essondale patients. Outdoor work in a healthy setting was known to be beneficial for the mentally ill in an era long before the development of modern medicines. Some of the patients were former miners and their skills in building rock walls can still be seen in several

places at Riverview today. In 2008, people were aghast when rumours surfaced of the BC Liberal government’s suggested intentions to convert Riverview into a residential area of highrise towers and finance mental health care from the proceeds. The city of Coquitlam, taking a more enlightened approach to one of its crown jewels, applied to the federal government in 2009 to have Riverview designated as a national historic site, a designation that would not preclude a wide range of activities on site, including the mental health care services, for which the land is so well suited. Since then, the provincial government, while not supporting this assessment for federal heritage status, has indicated its intention to have Riverview evaluated under a provincial heritage conservation planning process. Only a few things about Riverview’s future appear certain. Limited
mental health care services will continue to be provided by the Fraser Health Authority in three new smaller facilities and the movie industry will continue to have a presence on site, especially in the beautiful art deco Crease Clinic, which film crews have occupied for several years. Although many buildings at Riverview remain very serviceable and offer a variety of facilities, the fate of the remainder of the site appears to be very much up for grabs. The Sept. 17 Treefest event provides a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Riverview, its marvellous trees and magnificent landscapes, and its contributions to this community.

Reference No. 10 002465 RZ Bylaw Nos. 4234 and 4235, 2011 Text Amendments to Industrial Zones The intent of Bylaw No. 4234, 2011 is to introduce amendments to City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 and its amending Bylaws to implement changes to the City’s industrial zones. The objective of these amendments are to make the zones easier to administer, and more responsive to current industrial business operations. The most significant changes are as follows: • Introduction of new definitions and clarification of existing definitions; • Introduction of a new standard for the number of parking spaces required to one (1) space per 100m² of gross floor area; • Broadening the definition of “industrial” and permitting any use that meets the definition within the M-1, M-2, M-3, M-6, M-8 and M-9 zones; • Eliminating the density provisions as measured by gross floor area. This application also includes an amendment to the Southwest Coquitlam Area Plan of the City of Coquitlam Citywide Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 3479, 2001 and its amending Bylaws. The proposed bylaw amendment (Bylaw No. 4235, 2011) would give Council greater flexibility in considering rezonings, on a case-by-case basis along United Boulevard to permit a limited number of stand-alone restaurants, convenience stores and service stations, to meet the needs of local industrial businesses.

With fresh produce, live music and beautiful weather, Coquitlam Farmers Market was full of shoppers Sunday looking for locally grown and prepared goods. After crossing figs, peaches, plums and pears off her shopping list, Joyavé Lightheart says she likes everything about her visits to the market. “The produce is amazing” says Lightheart, who said she has been shopping at the Poirier street market for five years. “I also like meeting the vendors and getting to know them by name.” “Make, Bake or Grow” is the market’s slogan but it’s also a requirement for vendors, according to market president Tabitha McLaughlin. Merchants must be directly involved with the production of their goods to help promote stronger local connections with shoppers. “Shopping in a farmers market is much more about than just coming and picking up food, it’s about an experience. It’s about knowing your food and knowing where it came f ro m , ” Mc La u g hlin said. As music from Otto Faustin’s steel drums rang throughout the

Coquitlam’s Deanna Larocque (in red) and Julie Makranyi (not shown) were two of 40 female ice hockey players who wrapped up the world’s longest ice hockey game in Burnaby on Monday. During the 10-day, non-stop event at 8Rinks, more than $125,000 was raised for cystic fibrosis research in Canada. The women’s names and their achievement, which lasted 242 hours and five minutes and saw 2,500 goals scored (290 of them from Bree Healey of Courtney), are now in the Guinness Book of World Records. “It’s a miracle of the human spirit,” said Val Skelly afterwards, who spearheaded the event, called Long Game 4 CF. “Now, we all know we can do anything we put our minds to.”

Adult literacy tutor/Learning Buddy volunteers needed
At Coquitlam Public Library If you are 55 years or older, have an interest in helping adults upgrade their English skills and have two hours a week to volunteer with a learner, then Coquitlam
Public Library welcomes your application to its Adult Literacy Tutor/Learning Buddy program. Applications are available on the library’s website (www.library. coquitlam.bc.ca) or may be picked up at CPL’s Poirier (575 Poirier St.)
Learning can be fun as a family September is all about back-to-school: Time to get back into routines, make lunches and go to bed early. And since there’s so much to do and kids are still in summer mode, it’s hard to make sure the family is focusing on learning, according to a press release from ABC Life Literacy Canada. Lear ning together as a family is vital to a child’s future education. Doing family literacy activities not only helps develop children’s reading, writing and math skills, it also provides an opportunity for parents to learn something new too. Children raised in literate households are likely to enter Grade 1 with several thousand hours of one-to-one pre-reading experience behind them. Lear ning happens in many ways, especially in our day-to-day activities. In honour of September’s Life Literacy Month, ABC Life Literacy Canada offers 10 ways to make literacy part of your family’s daily life: • When making your grocery list, have your child write out the items you need to buy. • At the store, ask your child to count out the money to make the purchase. • Make it a habit to always read a story together at bedtime. • When cooking dinner, involve your children in measuring the ingredients. This helps them understand fractions and measurements. • Driving is the perfect opportunity to practice literacy. Read signs, billboards and licence plates together, and show your children the proper way to read a map. • While on the Internet, make time to research something new that your family is interested in. Researching skills are important and help with reading and comprehension. • In the car, sing along to songs on the radio. Singing encourages learning patterns
of words, rhymes and rhythms, and is strongly connected to language skills. • When playing a board game, read the instructions aloud to each other or count how many spaces to travel around the board. • Involve your kids when you pay bills. This will teach them strong financial skills early on in life. • Children follow by example, so ensure reading is part of your daily life too. For other literacy tips and activities, visit familyliteracyday.ca.

Soccer gals set to clash
MetroFord teams triumph
Tri-City talent tackles new U. year
Backed by the MVP performance of Alexandro H o j r p o u r, Coquitlam MetroFord Millennium knocked off the Surrey-Guildford Selects to take the boys Under13 championship at his club’s 25th a n nu a l L ab o u r Day youth soccer tournament last weekend at Town Centre Park and Charles Best field. Tyler Thomas earned MVP honours for the Selects. C M F B aye r n c o n q u e r e d the Penticton Pinnacles to win the big prize in the boys U-16 division, while the North Coquitlam Gunners tripped CMF Liver pool to earn boys U-18 category bragging rights. C a l g a r y Southwest United ousted Surrey’s Central City Breakers Elite to claim the girls U-14 crown. The top-drawer tour nament featured 72 teams in 13 divisions, along with 125 games on seven different fields. Three CMF teams won their divisions in roundrobin play, including the girls U-16 Threat, the boys U-14 Crew and the boys U-16 Barca.
By Larry Pruner THE TRI-CITY NEWS
Coquitlam’s Melissa Mobilio and Janine Frazao of Port Moody are considered leaders on their respective Trinity Western Spartans and UBC Thunderbirds university women’s soccer teams. The pair of Tri-City standouts will go head to head –– or feet to feet –– when their squads collide tomorrow (Saturday) in Langley to kick-off the CIS season. The Spartans with the midfielder Mobilio, who’s an Archbishop Carney high school grad, enter the game ranked No. 1 in the CIS Canada West conference in a pre-season coaches poll after going 9-3-2 last season. Coquitlam defender Kristen Santema, a Centennial high school product, is also considered an impact player on the MOBILIO Spartans. The T-birds, who with striker and scoring star Frazao won silver in the Canada West last campaign, enter the season projected third in the CIS top 10 list. Frazao tied for the T-birds’ scoring lead with Lisa Furutani last season, each with seven goals and one FRAZAO assist. With coaches not permitted to vote for their own school, four different schools garnered firstplace votes, including three apiece for TWU, UBC and the Alberta Pandas. Fraser Valley Cascades appeared at the top of one ballot. The first-place Alberta Pandas of last year failed to gain a nationals berth but, with a host of big names back for 2011, they grabbed the No. 2 spot in the poll with 89 points in the voting system, two back of the leading Spartans (91). The Thunderbirds managed 86 points, followed in order by Fraser Valley (71), the Victoria Vikes (58), Saskatchewan Huskies (55), Calgary Dinos (39), Manitoba Bisons (33), Regina Rams (28) and Lethbridge Pronghorns (20). Canada West is consistently the most decorated of the four conferences in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS), winning at least 10 CIS national titles each year from 1997 to 2010. Comprising 15 schools from the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C., Canada West produces numerous major award winners each year, with many going on to athletic success around the globe in pro leagues or events such as the Universiade Games, in which Frazao competed last month in China. THROW-INS: Cam Canales, who quarterbacked the Terry Fox Ravens to the B.C. AAA high school football final last season, is a freshman this grid season with the UBC T-birds.

The race is on in Sunday’s season-opening Atom football action featuring the Coquitlam Tigers (blue) and Langley Broncos at Kevin Chin Field. Langley won 28-14.
P o r t C o q u i t l a m ’ s Re a g h a n Chadwick and Natasha Panahi of Coquitlam are part of the 20-player Team BC, whose preparation hockey tournament began Thursday and runs through Sunday in Kamloops. The squad is gearing up to compete in the 2011 Canadian national women’s Under-18 championship Nov. 2-6 in Saguenay, Que. “Team BC is coming off a sixthplace finish at the 2011 Canada Winter Games in Halifax despite having the youngest team at the event,” said Team BC director of operations Greg Hemiston. “With 13 returning players, we will be looking to draw on that
experience for an improved result in Saguenay.” Chadwick,16, and Panahi, 17, are both forwards who play in the Female Midget AAA league –– Chadwick with the Fraser Valley Phantom and Panahi with the Vancouver Fusion. During the tournament, Team BC will toil against Bantam AAA boys teams from the Interior, along with the UBC Thunderbirds women’s hockey squad. “The goal of the [four] games is to set the stage for Quebec,” said Team BC head coach Jeff Oldenborger. “The reality is that we do not get many games together... so we need to play these games.”
BASSO DAZZLES Coquitlam’s Carlo Basso blasted home a goal in the 15th minute and that stood as the winner as the Simon Fraser Clan blanked the Vancouver Island Mariners 2-0 in a n o n - c o n f e re n c e university men’s soccer game last Thursday to open the Clan’s season. A sophomore striker with the Clan, Basso is a n A rch b i s h o p Carney Regional Secondary School grad. SFU outshot the Mariners by a lopsided 24-7 margin.

Perfect fly imitations don’t mean fish will bite TIGHT LINES Jeff Weltz More actually go for colour
More trout are caught on flies that are poor imitations of their food or no imitation at all than on perfect imitations. To us these attractors are wild and beautiful
but in the trout’s mind they may simply look good to eat, or they may take them for some other reason, perhaps, as a challenge. Picture a trout lying contentedly in his feeding position, fins andtail fanning slowly, looking up at the sky. Along comes a dry fly. As it approaches, he thinks, “Ah! Wings like vanilla ice cream; legs like rich chocolate syrup; a strawberry
body with a touch of green mint fore and aft, and finally a coffeecream tail. Never saw anything like that before. I wonder what it tastes like…and … if I don’t grab it now it will drift out of range and I will never know.” –– Taken from a discussion with Lee Wulff on fly design. Too often I have heard others criticize the flies tied by both novice and innovative fly tiers.
I have a different approach. I let the fish be the judge. If it works, it is good enough. After all it is the fish we want to impress; not the person with all the answers and an empty creel.

B.C. fights to first on field
The Under 16 Team BC field lacrosse team was crowned Alumni Cup national champions after outlasting Team Ontario 11-10 in the gold medal match Sunday at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex. The victory marked the first gold medal for Team BC Field Lacrosse teams since 2008. Team BC opened tournament play Friday by blasting Manitoba 31-0, the clobbered Alberta on Saturday by a 20-4 count. Earlier Sunday, the left coasters handled Saskatchewan 15-6 to advance to the championship game.

MARIO BARTEL/BLACK PRESS
’Cats’ defence shuts HOME IMPROVEMENT SPECIALISTS down Mavs’ attack BUSINESS OF THE WEEK COUNTERTOP The defence came up big for the Coquitlam Wildcats on Sunday at Kevin Chin Field. Their offence loomed large versus the Langley Mavericks, too. After a slow start by both squads in their Vancouver Mainland Football League Peewee division season opener, Jamall Mensah bolted 40 yards for a Coquitlam touchdown before Nico DePaoli intercepted an errant Langley pass
and scooted in for another major, giving the Wildcats a 13-0 lead at halftime. After driving the length of the field, the Wildcats put their final touchdown of the day on the scoreboard when Adam Tennent plunged into the end zone on a short run. J.D. Johnson rallied the Coquitlam defence with several tackles, including a key quarterback sack with Langley threatening to score.
